Chapter 266: No Retreat
The arrival of reinforcements made Zhao Hao feel reassured, but he soon found that there was no longer a single of his own warships around, and the assembled enemy ships lined up again, reforming the original Huizi array. www.biquge.info This is like a city on land, but the situation has changed somewhat, with large warships as the backbone to form the outer city, and medium-sized warships to form the inner city, and those small warships are like a moat between the two cities, forming a two-layer defensive circle centered on Liu Shenshuai's ship, constituting a mobile castle. They can not only use the 'outer city' as a block, resist the enemy's front and rear attacks, but also rely on this to send troops to attack, which can be described as both offensive and defensive.
"Alas, it would be nice if they were a little late!" The arrival of reinforcements made Liu Shen realize that he was 'in the middle of the plan', so he improved the attack to defend and counterattack, but ended the chaotic situation by mistake, which made the Warrior who broke into the vicinity of Liu Shenshuai's ship have many obstacles, and also made Zhao Yu's plan to take advantage of the chaos to rob fall through, so he 'hated' them for coming so early. However, he also realized that he had fallen into a deep siege and had become a fish in the giant net woven by Liu Shen.
"Your Highness, should we break through as soon as possible?" Wang Meng saw that his range of activities was getting smaller and smaller, and the surrounding enemy ships were dispatching back and forth, and there were still gaps in between, if he broke through now, there might still be a chance, he looked at His Highness in Contemplation and asked.
"I'm afraid it's too late!" Zhao Yu pointed to the outside and blinked his big eyes, and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, there are four ships speeding towards us!" Another stern watcher reported.
"Huh?! Your Highness, what should I do? Wang Meng looked in the direction of His Highness's finger, and saw two multi-oared boats heading towards them in front of him, obviously trying to flank him, he asked urgently. It is said that as a deputy general, he is also an adult, but he habitually asks His Highness such a child, obviously he does not regard him as a child, but His Highness's various superhuman performances make him involuntarily regard him as the backbone.
"Vice General Wang, people have already laid their nets and are ready to catch fish!" Zhao Yu said and thought about it, the enemy army has learned smartly, the tragic scene of his own collision with the boat earlier has made the enemy fearful, and he did not dare to send a small boat to meet him from the front, but used a multi-oared boat similar to the size of the dragon ship to intercept it head-on, trying to force them to stop.
"Don't joke anymore, if Your Highness makes a mistake, the end will be a hundred deaths!" Wang Meng saw that His Highness didn't care, and said anxiously.
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. Let Liu Shen see if he is catching a small miscellaneous fish or a shark! Zhao Hao put away his smiling face and said viciously, "Steady the rudder, the course remains the same, accelerate." The guns on both sides are wide open, ready to shoot! ”
"Your Highness, don't ......" Wang Meng saw that His Highness's posture was clearly about wanting to break the net, and opened his mouth to persuade him, but when he saw that his face was clearly not joking, he swallowed it back alive.
As soon as the order was given, the drums on the Warrior suddenly tightened, and the oarsmen shook the oars with all their might, and the ship rushed forward at full speed. Because the bottom of the dragon boat was modeled after the multi-oared boat, the two oncoming enemy ships were equally equal in appearance. This makes people prone to the illusion that even if they collide, they will hurt both. But there is also an old saying, 'those who are stunned are afraid of the horizontal, and those who are horizontal are afraid of not dying', seeing that the 'enemy ships' in the midst of the encirclement not only did not dodge, but put on a desperate posture, and the two multi-oared boats were instigated, and they quickly turned their rudders to dodge to the sides.
"Collect the oars, fire the cannons!" The two opposing sides met in a moment, and the warship slipped through the gap where they got out of the way, and Zhao Yu ordered the cannon to be fired.
The warships were mismatched, the two ballistas fired at the same time, and the dull sound of bowstrings, accompanied by the remix of 'crackling', 'sparse', and 'daddy, mama', the Warrior passed through the obstruction of the enemy's two ships, re-raised the oars and rushed forward again. And at such a close distance, a steamed bun dog on the ballista could hit, and not only were several holes dug out of the two enemy ships, but the enemy soldiers standing on the side of the ship also lay down. Although they were in a hurry to avoid it, they only let go of a crack, and all the oars on one side were hung up by the Warrior, and the oarsmen were broken by the oars under the reaction force, and they screamed miserably. The oarsman on the other side could not retract the oars, and the bows of the two boats inevitably turned sideways and collided with each other.
The boats that followed closely behind saw that the boat in front of them was about to speed up, and they must have tried to catch up, but the enemy ship got past them, but they were blocked by the overside multi-oared boat. The surface of the water is not as good as the land, and a foot brake may be able to brake, and besides, they don't have this device, so they can only crash into it. The worst thing is that the head boat that has made meritorious contributions happened to be caught by the bow of the friendly ship, and the fragile boat where it can withstand this, immediately broke into two and sank to the bottom, and the boat behind it could not escape the doom, and after hitting the gunwale, it was crushed and fractured, and it was all saved.
"Close the gun door and get ready to shoot!"
"Your Highness, it's so dangerous!" After breaking through the interception, His Highness seems to be fine, but the king is not lightly frightened. If the enemy ships do not dodge at the moment of collision, the enemy ships must be injured, but they will definitely be stopped, and the other enemy ships will take the opportunity to arrive just in time to kill the dog.
"When the two armies meet, the brave wins, and it seems that they are not very bold!" Zhao Hao said with a smile, he learned from the captives that Liu Shen's army had incorporated a large number of surrendered troops, and his tactical literacy would definitely be greatly improved, but it was inevitable that those bad problems would be brought into the army, and the old problem of cowardice and survival at the moment of life and death might recur, otherwise they would not easily give up resistance and surrender to the Yuan army.
"Your Highness, since that's the case, let's rush out!" Wang Meng suggested again.
"Vice General Wang, are you afraid of your repeated resignation?" Zhao Hao twisted his face and asked.
"Your Highness, the last general joined the army at the age of nineteen, and he also fought viciously against the enemy, and he suffered more than ten wounds on his body, and he has never been afraid!" Wang Meng looked at His Royal Highness with suspicion and contempt in his eyes, even if he was not His Highness, he couldn't stand being despised by a child, Zhengse said.
"Okay, then do you dare to take that Liu Shen's head with this king?" Zhao Yu knew that he was worried about his own safety and repeatedly asked to break through, but it was just to provoke him, and when he saw that he was in the middle of the plan, he asked again.
"Your Highness is willing to risk the arrow, what is the last general to fear! But His Royal Highness's daughter's body, there is no room for loss, after escorting His Highness to break through, the last general is willing to enter the encirclement again and kill Liu Shen! Wang Meng clasped his fists and saluted.
"Hehe, you are bent on driving this king away, do you want to take the credit for yourself? This king will not fall for the scheme. Zhao Hao said with a smile.
"Your Highness, you ......"
"The army obeys the order, and now the reinforcements have arrived, but our ship is under siege, do you dare to kill Liu Shen with this king?" Zhao Hao asked again.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Those three words were the same as the answer...... (To be continued.) )
