Chapter 133: Storm Evil Five
Chapter 133: Storm Evil Five
The wind turned.
The battle between the two sides began in the afternoon, and the fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, and the sun gradually set to the west, and the sun also changed from bright to dim. The wind also rushed from the sea to the land, and it seemed that these small islands were blocking the sea breeze, forcing the sea breeze to rush in through the strait between the islands.
And the place where Huang Wu rushed over was facing this strait.
And the wind that suddenly arose was very strong.
A little flame suddenly ignited the sails of Xia Jun's ship, and with the help of the wind, it quickly spread. In a few moments, several sails were set on fire.
What caught people even more off guard was that the flames burning on the Huangwu boat, under the wind, quickly turned the head of the fire, as if it were a flamethrower, and pounced on the Huangwu boat.
The soldiers of the Xia army, who had just withdrawn from the Huangwu boat, did not have time to react at all, and were swept up by the long tongue of fire, these hand-to-hand soldiers were not shirtless, but their clothes were extremely thin, and they did not have armor, and they wore armor at sea, once they fell into the water, it was an ending of death and no life.
And such a thin one is almost like no clothes to wear, and under the situation of the tongue of fire, it is impossible to resist at all, and one by one, they all become fire people.
There is nothing more fierce in the world than fire.
The flames spread like an explosion under the wind.
No, there are no fewer explosions in this flame.
I don't know how much gunpowder was ignited, and the sound of explosions everywhere was louder than the movement of artillery, and the eyes of the entire battlefield were gathered here for a while.
Huang Wu was overjoyed and said, "Quick, quick, smash all the gunpowder to the opposite boat for me." ”
"My lord, this must not be done." The people around him were anxious and said: "Let's go quickly, the general wind direction is reversed, and we are the ones who die, thinking that under such a flame, Ruan Jin will not be able to live." ”
Huang Wu said almost madly: "No, this is God's help to the Qing Dynasty, this opportunity must not be missed, you are not good to come, I will come." ”
Immediately picked up a bag of gunpowder, shouted loudly, and threw it out, this bag of gunpowder was not heavy, and it fell on Ruan Jin's boat after two or three zhang of gathering, and then exploded, and countless sparks burst out, even hitting Huang Wu's face.
Huang Wu's face was burned out of pits, as if it was a pockmarked pit. But he didn't know it.
He is miserable on his side, and Ruan Jin is even worse on his side.
The flame is the most difficult thing to control, this sudden flame, directly stunned Ruan Jin, obviously everything is going well, and the ships of the Qing army are about to be burned, and they actually set themselves on fire?
However, Ruan Jin is experienced after all, and as soon as he saw this fire, he knew that it was not easy to handle
。
Immediately with the guards around him, he prepared to disembark.
After all, there are still a lot of ships of the Xia army. Even if his ship is burned, only by changing ships and fighting again may not have a chance to save the tide of the war, and even if it can't save the tide of the war, at least most of the ships can be withdrawn.
Ruan Jin immediately turned around and prepared to withdraw.
But in the midst of the fire, it was easy to say that it was easy to retreat, but it was quite difficult to do, but in a moment, in the midst of the explosion, the mast could no longer hold on, and with a raging flame, it smashed down on the head, and immediately covered the group.
In the countless explosions, screams, fires, and even the whirring wind, I didn't know that the scream was Ruan Jin's.
In short, Ruan Jin disappeared from this world.
Whether Ruan Jin is dead or alive, no one told Huang Wu.
Huang Wu could only fight hard, he led by example, rushed to the front of the fire, and while extinguishing the fire, he fired cannons, guns, and explosives at the opposite ship. I tried all my best to fight to the death.
After a long time, with the efforts of all the sailors, Huang Wu's ship was finally separated from Ruan Jin's.
But even so, Huang Wu's side of the ship was also burning, as if it was a wall of fire. It was as if someone had smeared a well-maintained ship with black dye. All are the color of carbon black.
It's just that Ruan Jinza's boat has become a torch floating above the sea. The fire had engulfed every part of the deck, and on the side of the ship, there were openings in the cannons, and the sea was rushing to pour them in.
There is only one result for this ship.
It's back to the bosom of the sea.
Huang Wu reacted immediately, causing everyone to shout loudly: "Ruan Jin is dead, why don't you surrender." ”
Whether Ruan Jin is dead or not, Huang Wu is not sure. But for the sake of the current situation, no matter whether Ruan Jin is really dead or faked, Huang Wu will crucify Ruan Jin to death. So one after another shouts came out.
"Nguyen Jin is dead." The sound of shouts was heard throughout the sea.
All the Xia Jun sailors were stunned.
All the Xia ships were stunned for a moment, and then the chain reaction began.
Originally, the North Korean ship retreated to the side, but without saying a word, it turned around and ran, and it was simply panicked, and it didn't know which way to escape.
And the warships of the Xia army were also completely out of control. They also scattered and fled.
Seeing that the Xia army ships that were still stubborn were scattered, Huang Wu was suddenly overjoyed and laughed wildly. Then he calmed down and said: "Don't pay attention to the North Korean ships, chase the ships of the Xia army, and never die." ”
It's getting dark.
But Huang Wu took a break
There is no meaning of war.
It was precisely because he understood the Xia Dynasty's naval superiority that this victory was not enough to change the balance of strength between the enemy and us, so he must take this victory to the extreme.
The best way to expand the army is to grab the other side's.
After all, in this era, generals may have sworn allegiance, but few of the soldiers below have such a high moral standard, it is just whose food they eat and whose words they listen to. So a chase began.
It wasn't until the next morning that the chase came to an end.
This time, there were not too many ships that fled back to Ganghwa Island, most of the North Korean ships did not resist much at all and defected to the Qing army, and the ships of the Xia army resisted more strongly than the North Koreans, after all, they were all from Zhejiang, and they also had families in their hometowns.
They all understood that the military law of the Xia army was so strict, and how their families would be treated if they surrendered to the enemy here. It's just that in the Ruan Jin battle, the command center collapsed, he was very powerful, and he couldn't exert one or two layers, and he fled in a hurry, disjointed from front to back, and was chased by Huang Wu with ease, and forced to surrender one by one.
Once he surrendered, Huang Wu let these ships dock and let the Korean puppet army take care of them, and only gave up after knowing that they were approaching Ganghwa Island.
Even so, Huang Wu was very excited to count the harvest, and the ships captured in this battle were enough for him to double the number of Qing army sailors.
It's just that when this bad news spread to Jianghua Island, Zhou Fuchen couldn't believe it, and after repeated inquiries, he was convinced of this matter, and then his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted on the ground. He knew the key all too well.
The reason why the Qing army has no way to take him is very simple, that is, the advantage of the naval division, the naval division allows the Xia army to have the strategic initiative and contain the Qing army on the coastline, and the coastline of North Korea is very long.
This made the Qing army like a muddy, dilemma, and now after this war, the Xia army's water division advantage no longer exists, even if the water division from the south comes, it will take a while, this period of time is enough for the Qing army to do a lot of things, such as the Qing army encircled and annihilated Yang Shenzu's department.
Not to mention the relationship between Yang Shenzu and Zhang Xuan, just saying that the Xia army was surrounded and annihilated by the Qing army, I am afraid that it will be the first major defeat in Zhaowu years. And he has shouldered the heavy responsibility of commanding the overall situation of North Korea, and this defeat is an unshirkable responsibility. I can't push it off if I want to.
The Xia Dynasty was the time when Fang Qi was rising, and it attached the most importance to military merits.
There are military merits that can soar to the sky, but there is not much warmth for those who defeat the battle, his fate is already doomed, even if he does not die, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, the general of Zhengdong, the governor of Korea, and the power of Liaodong will definitely cease to exist.
Zhou Fuchen tried to calm down, and immediately sent people to take a boat and go to sea at night to spread the news to Nanjing. He could only hold on to Ganghwa Island and keep the Xia army's foothold in Korea.
