Chapter 42 The sun is thousands of miles, and no one returns
Xu You didn't make a move.
Because he knew in his heart that Guo Mian had a will to die when he didn't stop Ge Ji from poisoning King Jiangxia. King Jiangxia is the pillar and sustenance of him who has lived for most of his life, sitting still is equivalent to killing King Jiangxia with his own hands, how can he live?
Yan Wan is a timed ** after all, six days should now know about Jiangxia Wang Xu, as long as he reacts, he can easily drag the unsightly act of poisoning and killing him onto his body.
King Jiangxia died, who was the biggest beneficiary?
It stands to reason that Yan Wan did not have a reason to kill the king of Jiangxia, the only reason was that An Xiulin was manipulating behind the scenes, intending to take the throne!
Therefore, Yan Wan can't live, and Guo Mian can't live, when both of them die, there is no proof of real death!
"Hey, hey!"
Xue Xuanmo rushed over, hugged his body, and said with tears in his eyes: "Dog slave, why bother, why is this bother?"
Xu You has a good impression of Xue Xuan, Guo Mian has long faded out of the center of power, and Yan Wan is at least a trusted minister of the new emperor on the surface.
The feud between Guo Mian and Yan Wan is deep, everyone in Jingzhou knows it, although Xue Xuanmo's actions are a bit out of line, but no one thinks much about it, just suddenly looks back, Jiangxia Wang, Yan Wan, Guo Mian, the three most powerful people have all become a passing cloud, and they can't help but sigh.
Xu You's expression was calm, and he bowed his hand to the two corpses, and then turned to leave.
I still remember the first time we met in Changhe Jinkou, the beautiful women accompanied the seats, the gold was the sail, and the Eguan robe was indescribably free; I still remember meeting again on Mingyu Mountain, a few words, sympathy, 30,000 taels of silver and laughter; I still remember the light parting in Jiangling City, the green stream flowing water, the west building under the moon, marrying Wenjun, sending the concubine, the man is reluctant, and he can support life and death......
To this day, the hero is in the twilight, and his gray hair is cut off.
Since then, the sun has been closed for thousands of miles, and no one has returned.
Jinling.
Two days after An Zishang absconded, An Xiuming got the news from the mouth of Yin Su, the general of the right guard, and said angrily: "What about Xiao Xunqi? King Ling was sick and didn't go to court, he went to the third child early, and Sili Mansion raised so many apprentices, what did he eat? ”
In addition to the strict prohibition of Taicheng Palace, Jinling is surrounded by fences, there is no city wall, and it is dozens of miles in radius."
An Xiuming turned his head suddenly, his face became a little hideous, and said, "What did you say?" ”
Yu Daozhen giggled and said, "Captain Xiao has arrested hundreds of officials and people who want to abscond these days, but he missed the biggest one, do you believe it or not?" ”
An Xiuming gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, they are all my good ministers, and they are all my good ministers...... Yin Su, go, grab the seven sons of King Jingling, and don't let one go. ”
Wei Tianzhi persuaded bitterly: "It is useless to kill more, and it will also arouse the people's rebellion, and the most important thing at present is to spare officials and rewards, so that the Chinese army will die." When Jingzhou is defeated, not to mention the son of King Jingling, is King Jingling still at the disposal of the Lord? ”
An Xiuming hesitated, looked at Yu Daozhen, and Yu Daozhen sneered: "King Jingling received the deepest favor from the emperor, and turned his back on the lord to join the enemy, if there is no punishment, everyone thinks that the lord is weak and can be bullied." At that time, it will be the real rebellion of the people, and there will be no room for salvation. ”
An Xiuming then issued an order, the seven sons of King Jingling were escorted to the Suzaku Gate to ask for beheading, Wei Tianzhi left Taicheng, stood on Suzaku Avenue, and watched the more than 70 heads fall to the ground one after another, the onlookers looked numb, no joy or anger, and sighed: "Big things go!" That night, following the example of the old events of the Three Kingdoms, hanging seals and sealing gold, the Tsing Yi hat secretly went out of the city and disappeared.
At noon on the second day, An Xiuming didn't see Wei Tianzhi come to the palace to discuss matters, and sent guards to inquire only to find that people went to the house empty. Wei Tianzhi is not a good woman, his parents and wife and daughter are in his hometown in Yizhou, and there are no concubines in Kyoto.
An Xiuming received the report, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and at this time there was an urgent report: "The king of Jiangxia is gone, and the king of Linchuan is in Xinting...... New Pavilion, Ascend ...... Ascended the throne and became emperor ......"
"What?"
An Xiu stood up brightly, almost in disbelief, and said, "You say it again?" ”
"The king of Jiangxia is gone, and the king of Linchuan is the emperor in Xinting!"
An Xiuming was furious, spat out blood, staggered back, sat down on the dragon chair, pale face, and shouted: "Traitor! Traitor! ”
Shen Muzhi hurriedly announced the imperial doctor, and there was chaos in Taicheng. In the evening, An Xiuming woke up, his eyes were dull, his spirit was scattered for three points, Wei Tianzhi followed his side from the East Palace, and he had shared blessings and misfortunes for many years, and he did not leave even when the position of the prince was in the most danger, but he would abandon him......
"The Lord was so depressed that he vomited blood, but he was better. A villain like Wei Tianzhi fortunately left early, if he surrendered to the enemy again when the two armies were fighting, the consequences would be even more unpredictable. Yudao Zhen lightly held An Xiuming's hand, put his pretty face against his chest, and said: "Actually, the Lord should be happy, King Jiangxia is dead, doesn't it show that the oracle is true?" If the Lord is blessed by God, why should he be afraid of those chickens and dogs? ”
An Xiuming gradually regained his vigor and said, "Not bad! I am the Son of Heaven, and I am ordered by Heaven, and no one can take away my throne! Divine Master, please communicate with the gods again, and be sure to help the Chinese army break through the thieves. ”
Yu Daozhen stared at An Xiuming, his charming face revealed a bit of poignancy, and said softly: "Rest assured, my lord, even if I lose all my longevity, I will keep your country unchanged!" ”
An Xiuming felt a little unbearable in his heart, but his desire for power and victory overcame his true love for Yudao, hugged her tightly, and whispered: "Divine Master, it's all up to you!" ”
Kyoguchi.
Zhang Huai was wearing Mingguang armor and a long sword hanging from his waist, looking at the dense tribes in the cabin, and said: "The emperor is on the throne, I will be rewarded for our unmeritorious work, and others will not be sarcastic, I am uneasy." Therefore, in the decisive battle tonight, all the departments will act according to the plan, and if they are afraid of the enemy, they will be killed! Whoever delays the fighter, slash! Do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
The mountains are roaring and the tsunami is high!
That night, fifty sea dragon boats rushed into Liangshan Continent first, and Xiao Yushu, who was waiting for the battle, immediately commanded the warships to hold the defensive line. Although the Chinese army sailors are brave and good at fighting, the sea dragon boat runs like flying, cruising on the river like a galloping horse, coupled with flexible tactics, it does not attack head-on, but always goes around to the flank to release rockets, avoiding the head and tail of the slapping rod, and so on to suppress the Chinese army does not dare to show its head, and then use the hook to refuse to hook the hull, and when the two ships approach, hundreds of soldiers immediately crossed the female wall, swords and guns marched together, and bravely captured the ship.
But some hooks refused to stretch over and were cut off, and they could only approach a certain distance and then "jump the gang", but unexpectedly, the two sides of the enemy ship were hung with nets, and the people who jumped the gang were all trapped in the net, and dozens of spears were pierced out of the spear holes that were specially retained, and the sharp spear head passed through the body was a big hole, the flesh and blood were blurred, and there were countless casualties.
In addition, due to the use of the wheel oar structure, the sea dragon boat does not stretch out the oar from the outside, and can directly hit the enemy ship from the side, and its own damage is extremely small, but the oar of the enemy ship is without exception, broken in two, and cannot move for a while, becoming the target of the rocket.
What's more, seeing that the enemy is not capable, there are actually seven sea dragon boats that ignited the bow of the ship, and the headwind did not slow down and collided directly, the defense line of the Chinese army was finally broken through, the raging fire lit up half of the night sky, the shouting of killing was deafening, and there were soldiers on both sides of the fierce battle everywhere, no one retreated, no one was afraid of death, and the red eyes were hotter than the fire.
Win or lose, tonight!
"Marshal, what should I do?"
Xiao Yushu sat on the lookout on the third floor of the flagship, coldly judging the direction of the battle situation, and said, "Have you found out the enemy's strength?" ”
"It has been found out, this time with troops, Zhang Huai's elite came out, using eighty sea dragon boats, one hundred and seventy fighting ships such as Qinglong, Feiyun, Gaihai, etc., as well as countless small boats of all kinds, it should be under pressure from Xinting's side, no longer confronting our army, preparing for a decisive battle."
"Order: Let go of the middle line, except for Li Qubu, the rest will meet on both sides. When the enemy army came in, Li Qu's troops retreated while fighting, luring them to approach Liangshanzhou. ”
"No!"
As the herald ship shuttled back and forth, looking down from above, the large array of the Chinese army was like two open wings, slowly retreating to both sides. The Pingjiang Army immediately captured the fighters, and eighty Qinglong fighting ships penetrated behind the enemy from the middle breach, and divided thirty to pursue Li Qubu, and fifty to prepare to divide and encircle, and then break each one.
Suddenly, in the dense forest of Liangshanzhou in the middle of the Yangtze River, hundreds of thunder cannons were launched at the same time, and the huge stones that covered the sky seemed to be punished by heaven, smashing the mast and female wall of the Qinglong Fighting Ship, rolling and crushing the crowd, plowing out a long blood mark like hell on earth.
The thirty Qinglong Fighting Ships that were pursuing Li Qubu sank instantly, and the remaining fifty were shocked, unable to maintain their formation, so they had no choice but to disperse, accelerating into the enemy ships on both wings to avoid the second round of Thunder Cannon launches.
Sure enough, with Xiao Yushu's order, the battle line of the Chinese army closed again, and the fifty Qinglong fighting ships suddenly became turtles in the urn, surrounded by regiments, and fell into a desperate situation.
Zhang Huai no longer retained, and personally led the flagship and 100 Feiyun and Gaihailou ships, as well as thousands of Mengchong, Chima, Xiandeng, Zhuan, Tuqiu, Yushuo and other small boats to join the battle.
Xiao Yushu smiled slightly and said, "Zhang Huaiqian's donkey skills are exhausted!" The order was issued, after Xiao Hui's department and Wang Palm's department were from Liangshan Prefecture, Zhou Wenkuan's department attacked from the left side of Liangshan Prefecture, and all members pressed up, and this battle was only allowed to win, not defeated."
The building ship is the mainstay, attacking the battle, rampage; The boat is supplemented, taking advantage of the chaos to fight, and the ants are attached to gather.
"Left, put!"
The 50-foot-tall rod is shaped like a mast with a roller underneath, and a rope is used to wrap around the wheel shaft at the top of the roller and the rod to hang the boulder. Dozens of people turned the roller to make the boulder hang high in the air, aimed at the enemy ship, and immediately put it back into the reel, the boulder fell violently and hammered, and the enemy ship was immediately shattered.
In less than two hours, nearly fifty percent of the small boats such as Meng Chong and Chima were sunk by the shooting rod. However, due to the poor durability of the rod, every three or four ships sunk, they would break or tip over, and they could not be used anymore.
Zhang Huai's goal was achieved, in a battle of this scale, the small boat could play a very small role, but the small boat was used to consume the enemy's shooting rod and arrows, laying the foundation for the final victory.
In the bloody battle, the battle line of the Pingjiang Army was gradually compressed, and finally three battle situations of different sizes were formed. However, the Chinese army's sailors can shuttle freely in this "product" and support each other.
By the time dawn came, there were only more than 50 fighting ships left in the Pingjiang Army, and nearly eighty percent of the small boats were damaged. However, the combat power of the sea dragon boat was amazing, and it also caused heavy losses to the Chinese army, and the number of sunken battleships was twice that of the Pingjiang army, and the casualties were even more. However, the victory of the Chinese army lies in the large number of people and the number of ships, and this battle loss ratio is still bearable.
Some subordinates persuaded bitterly: "General Wei, break through!" If we continue to fight, the brothers will die......"
Zhang Huai said coldly: "Cowardly the enemy in battle, disturbing the heart of our army, someone came, cut off his head, and hung it high for the public." Pass the order, today is death, and I, Zhang Huai, will also die in Liangshanzhou! ”
General Wei, who opened the second grade, actually had the courage to fight to the death and not retreat, and his morale was more than he imagined. All the generals rushed forward, and there was a captain named Li Yuanliang, who was murderous, took off his armor, and only wore trousers, from his chest to his double strands, black hair was conjoined like a beast. Armed with an iron axe in his bare arms, he jumped into the enemy ship, and the axe flashed in the shadows, taking the lives of more than a dozen people in a row, and the frightened soldiers shouted wildly, "The evil ghost is coming", and jumped into the river and abandoned the boat.
With this morale, the Chinese army retreated for three miles, and finally reconnected the word "product", Zhang Huai ordered people to place the warships that could no longer move into a fan shape, with their backs to the north bank of the Yangtze River, ready to resist stubbornly. Another subordinate knelt on the ground and cried, saying, "General Wei, please break through the siege first, and then die after the palace." Although it can be held here for a while, it is still surrounded by the Chinese army, and after sunset, even if you want to leave, you can't leave. ”
Zhang Huai did not kill anyone this time, but helped up this subordinate and said with a smile: "Xiao Yushu is also waiting for me to break through, wouldn't he be happy to chase and kill?" Don't worry, I think the Chinese army's slapping rod is almost completely destroyed, although the building ship is high, but there is no threat, and if you hold on for another hour, you will have your own clever plan to break the thief! ”
