Chapter Seventy-Six: The End of a Battle
There must still be assassins in this military camp, but it doesn't matter, these ancient assassins don't pose much threat to Han Feng at all, especially under strict protection, unless Han Feng can't walk when he comes, otherwise these assassins who don't enter the stream will not be able to assassinate Han Feng at all.
"Lock him up, don't let anyone come close, the food he eats needs to be tested, and if he dies, you will be held accountable!" Han Feng said lightly to the team of guards in front of him.
As long as the person is okay, the remaining assassins must think of the law to kill this guy, as long as they come it will be sent to death, even if they don't come, these assassins will be in a hurry, no matter whether the other party will confess or not, they must die, because only the dead can't speak.
"No!"
As soon as Han Feng opened the curtain in his tent, Sun Yan suddenly woke up, her eyes were full of bloodshots, and she knew at a glance that she was not in a good state of rest, and the guards around Han Feng and Sun Yan had the shortest rest time in the whole military camp, and the guards had a shift change, and Sun Yan had only one.
There are many generals in the barracks, but only Sun Yan can be reassuring and suitable, Han Peng has to command the entire team, and the rest of the generals have to perform their duties, only Sun Yan has not arranged the rest of the affairs, and is specifically responsible for the security of Hanfeng.
"Your Majesty, you are here!" Sun Yan said sleepily.
This state is very similar to those students in junior high school and high school who are online all night and are caught by the teacher in class the next day, and they are full of exhaustion.
"Just get some rest! There is nothing else to do today!" Han Feng walked over to the makeshift chair and poured a pot of tea.
"Let's have some tea!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Yan was flattered, now Sun Yan's hair is still a little messy, and there is a hazy smell on her body when she wakes up.
"Your hair is so messy and so good-looking, it's a pity that you don't find a good family to marry!" Han Feng joked that Sun Yan's current state can arouse a male instinct and make people think about it, it is a pity not to marry such a stunner.
"Your Majesty, the last general really has no intention of men and women, and now he just wants to help the king dominate the mountains and rivers!" Sun Yan said solemnly, he didn't want to think about the affairs of men and women, who could stand the lovesickness, and participating in the war was just her way of paying attention.
"Benefactor, what if I want to marry you?" Han Feng is not joking with this sentence, although Han Feng does not want to have three thousand beauties in the harem, but after unifying the world, he will naturally not be the emperor, and the fun of life will naturally leave the colorful pictures of life.
There is no lustful man in men, unless he is a eunuch, even a eunuch will covet beauty, and Han Feng is not a saint, so is naturally.
Sun Yan was suddenly a little speechless, this question is not easy for her to answer, if it is an ordinary family or a minister's family, she can refuse by herself, but the marriage of the king's family is really difficult to solve, which involves a concept of their heaven and earth monarch and teacher, as well as the supreme power of the king.
"This.... The last general does not know how to answer, but the last will be a wife, and he is afraid that he will be humiliated to the king, which is a great treachery!" Sun Yan still has only her deceased husband in her heart, who is not wrong and has not been a husband and wife.
Now Sun Yan is completely sleepy, the whole person is very energetic, and she is completely frightened by Han Feng's question, if it is true that one day Han Feng wants to accept herself as a concubine, then she will not be able to refuse, how can she be good.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't be lighter than the benefactor, and I won't force the benefactor, don't blame the benefactor!" Han Feng also felt that this topic was good everywhere.
In the past few days, Xia Jun has been waiting for work at ease, and all of them are in good spirits, but Zhao Jun, who is far away at sea, is not so good.
The two armies of Zhao and Yue met on an island at sea, and the main general of the two armies this time was still Yan Ping, and the main general of the Vietnamese army, Xiong Gan, was also a famous general, who had killed many generals, and his strength was also very recognized by everyone.
This island is a refusal from the coast, and there is no one here, it is a very suitable place to hide soldiers, and no outsiders will know about it to rest here, and it is the best choice for the two armies to meet.
"General Yan, I heard that you suffered a fiasco in the Yangtze River last time, but Xia Guo didn't hurt a single soldier, what do you think of these rumors?" Xiong Gan is naturally dissatisfied with Yan Ping as the commander of the two armies, he has to choke Yan Ping no matter what, otherwise how can he seem superior.
Yan Ping was very angry in his heart, but what is the situation now, he naturally can't be quick for a while, but he can't lose face either, Yan Ping said sonorously: "General Xiong didn't talk about the iron ships and artillery of the Xia Kingdom, when the time comes, if you still have such morale, I will give you the position of the commander of the two armies between you and me!"
"Good! Not a word!" Xiong Gan really hadn't seen what a firearm looked like, and he had the impression that the Xia Kingdom was similar to the Chu State, with a strong crossbow and tempered glass at most, where could there be so many strange things.
After a short rest, the two armies began to board the warship and advance towards the coast of the Xia Kingdom, the sea was rough, and the waves continued to lap the hull, especially the deck of the ship was all wet with the sea.
There was still not a school of fish swimming in the sea, seagulls and all kinds of seabirds were flying in the sky, everything looked very peaceful, but the sudden arrival of the warship broke the silence, the mighty fleet was murderous, and now they were all dying, once on the battlefield there was no retreat.
"Report ~ I saw enemy ships due south of the sea!" The spy shouted as he held up the binoculars.
"All troops on alert!" After Han Peng gave the order, he raised the flag in his hand and began to command the army to arrange the troops, the gunners and archers were all in place, and now they are waiting for the enemy to land!
At this time, the two armies of Zhao Yue felt that this coast was very wrong, why were these people so far away from the sea, according to the normal process, they should be waiting for them in a closer position, and now it seems that there are a lot of strange things here.
"Report ~ General Yan, I saw more than a dozen black objects on the coast!" Zhao Guo's sailors' eyes were very sharp, and they could see clearly from a distance.
"What! Black objects? When Yan Ping heard this, he decided that this was not right, he remembered the battle of the Yangtze River vividly, this guy Xia Guo can arrange these things on the ship, and naturally he can also arrange them on land.
But now they can't retreat! Once retreated, it is a capital crime, and there are still prison guards on this ship, they are all the eyes of the king, and their every move will be told to the king, if they are not careful, they are afraid that his head as the commander will not be safe.
Now it was hundreds of thousands of lives, and he had to shout: "Inform all the fleets to start retreating!"
"What? Retreat!" Xiong Gan felt incredible, when you arrived here, you told me to retreat, how can this work: "Pass my military order, anyone who retreats will be killed, and stop the Zhao army who is going to retreat!"
Xiong Gan's fleet was behind the Zhao army, blocking all retreating paths, trying to stop the Zhao army completely.
Yan Ping was panicked now, he never said with a smile Since Xia Guo has prepared a defensive line here, how did they know their route, there must be internal ghosts, otherwise there will never be heavy guards here.
When he saw that the Vietnamese army blocked the retreat of the Zhao army, Yan Ping scolded: "Xiong Gan, this horseman, this is to annihilate my Zhao army!" What is the difference between such a disobedient teammate and a pig!"
"Your Majesty, if the enemy army is within firing range, will you open fire!" Han Peng asked Han Feng.
Although this Han Peng is the main general, there are some things that still have to be agreed by Han Feng, after all, Han Feng's position is the highest and the most powerful, and no one can disobey him.
Han Feng looked at the situation of the two armies and said, "Wait first!" When their ships are about to dock, they are firing their guns!"
This Vietnamese army will not retreat from the Zhao army, and unless the Zhao army and the Vietnamese army start a war on this sea, they can really only approach the coast.
"This bastard, this is going to kill 200,000 soldiers from the two countries!" Yan Ping was very embarrassed.
He stood at the stern of the ship and shouted to Xionggan's ship: "Retreat!" Don't let me blame me for turning my face and not admitting it today!"
As soon as Xiong Gan heard this, this war was very food and grass, and now they did not have much grain and grass at all, and only after they went ashore could they have the opportunity to supply grain and grass, and in this way, their army would only be very difficult, and even defeated without a fight.
Although there is a large amount of grain and grass on the island, it is not enough for the 200,000 people to last ten days, so this battle must be fought, if it is not fought, the Vietnamese army is fine, the Yue country is near here, they are nothing more than a waste of food, and Zhao is different, this is equivalent to directly offending the Yue country, and Zhao Guo is afraid that he can only rely on fishing at sea to make a living.
And the Zhao army will be very scarce of water, the water source on the island is simply not enough for so many people, and only by landing can there be a chance.
Now the Zhao army is in a dilemma, Yan Ping can be regarded as seeing that the Vietnamese army does not listen to his command at all, since the horizontal and vertical are all dead, it is better to fight to the death of a fish.
"Spread the word that our army has ordered the whole army to advance to the coast! All ships are spaced wider!" Yan Ping's helpless roar had already doomed the rout of the Zhao army and the Yue army.
Xiong Gan is still screaming now, now I know how powerful my Vietnamese army is, I still want to retreat like this, how can this level be called the first general of Zhao State, it seems that Zhao Guo is all a wreck, no wonder the 400,000 army died at the hands of Yan Ran last year.
As the boat approached the shore, Han Feng felt that the time had come and shouted, "Fire!"
Han Peng personally waved the military command flag, and ten cannons rumbled, and the cannonballs smashed into the sea, these ships were very huge, and they were very good targets.
As soon as it was blown up, it was a hole, and even ships began to burn, black smoke began to rise, and the Vietnamese troops behind instantly understood why the Zhao army had just retreated.
This is no longer a simple landing, but a question of whether they can survive, although it is less than a hundred meters from the coast, but these shells are not vegetarian, especially after the mountain shore does not know what they will face.
Zhao Jun couldn't care so much now, desperately approaching the coast, one after another the warships continued to sink to the bottom of the sea, and the soldiers all took off their heavy armor and began to swim towards the coast.
And the Vietnamese army behind has begun to evacuate, this time the Vietnamese army is completely afraid, Xiong Gan is not willing to take risks, retreat can be exchanged for the lives of 40,000 Vietnamese soldiers, in other ways is also an indispensable thing.
The poor Zhao Jun's ships were all sunk before they could dock, and the 150,000 soldiers could only swim close to the coast, thanks to all the sailors, otherwise the 150,000 soldiers would really be wiped out at one time.
The artillery fire of the ten forts of Hanfeng has not stopped, constantly attacking the sea, and a bunch of enemies are attacked with one blow, and 150,000 people are densely packed on the sea level, and the target is very obvious.
"It seems that there is no suspense in this battle, these 100,000 soldiers and horses are really a waste!" Hanfeng did it in the distance.
Han Peng said with a smile on his face: "What the king said is extremely true, a thousand soldiers and horses are estimated to be able to destroy these enemy troops!"
On the surface of the sea, these people are all live targets, there is no room to fight back, and it is still daytime, all the targets can be seen clearly, and a large number of people will die before they land.
When these people were less than a hundred meters above the sea, Han Peng ordered: "All archers move forward!" Shoot all the enemies who want to get to the shore! The cavalry followed, slaying down the fish that slipped through the net!"
This battle can be described as another aggrieved battle for the Zhao State, the strength of the Zhao army is not weak, but it is a pity that it is Hanfeng, some strength is weak in the face of absolute strength, no matter how strong you look, after all, it is just a group of paper tigers.
In this battle, Zhao State lost the first fierce general Yan Ping, as well as more than a dozen generals with outstanding military achievements, and fifteen elite soldiers, and now Zhao State has less than 200,000 elite soldiers, but the rest of the new army has nearly 300,000 people.
Usually those young men are caught to enlist in the army when there are no soldiers, but fortunately, the population base of Zhao State is large enough, and there are many middle-aged strong men, but this can't resist the Xia Army, which is strong in science and technology, and no matter how many people there are, it is never worth mentioning in front of strength.
In this battle, the Zhao army was completely annihilated, and the Xia Kingdom magically reached zero casualties, even Han Feng did not expect to be able to achieve such a result, which made 100,000 soldiers feel incredible, and in their hearts Han Feng's status was even higher, and even thought that Han Feng was the god of heaven.
These Zhao troops died in the indiscriminate arrows before they could go ashore, and the battle lasted for a total of six hours, and the army of the Xia State was guarding the shore and did not let these people go ashore.
"General Han, send 10,000 people here to guard to prevent the enemy from escaping the net and coming ashore! Evacuate after three days! The rest of the people began to retreat to reinforce the mountain scale pass!" Han Feng already felt that the battle situation at Shanfeng Pass was very bad, although there were artillery and muskets, but after all, it was a plain battle, and there were still so many enemy troops, so it was really hard to say if it was really a battle.
Han Feng also left the artillery and the new army on the coast, and now this is a military important place in the Xia Kingdom, and it is also a barrier, if you want to go ashore from here, you first asked these ten batteries if you agreed.
At this time, outside the mountain scale pass, the 360,000 army swore an oath, and the morale was very high, the leader of the four countries was Sun Ding, the general of the Chu State, he was Yan Ran's old opponent, and he was also an old friend, both of them were very familiar, although the reputation was not as big as Yan Ran, but the strength was really not necessarily!
Moreover, a large number of soldiers in the Chu State are equipped with tempered glass explosion-proof shields, which no longer has much advantage for the new army, and these explosion-proof shields cannot be penetrated by ordinary bows and muskets.
