Chapter 104: The Rebellion and Separation of Relatives

"Then according to the opinion of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, divide a part to block it, but you really can't get out of the next place, I don't know if you have any suitable candidates, you can go to the enemy for you?" Sure enough, Wakiban Anji readily agreed to Suyu's request, and his attitude was as respectful as a student to a teacher, but he didn't know that he was five years older than Suyu.

"I don't think there's a need to find someone else," Sueyu waved his hand and continued, "If Awaji Mamoru is at ease, then please put this fleet under the command of your subordinates, and I promise that there will never be a single fish that slips through the net." ”

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs is willing to go out in person, why don't you worry about it?" Wakiban immediately ordered the allocation of 30 Da'an Mansions and 50 Guan Ships to Sueyu, so that he could immediately lead his army to the southern front for reinforcements, and the rest of the fleet would follow the flagship to cut into the Xian army's main formation to prevent Yuan Jun from breaking through.

Seeing that the board began to shrink the encirclement, Jiaming, who was on the north side, was not far behind, because his command was the main force of the Japanese naval army, and occupied an overwhelming advantage in numbers and firepower, so the speed of movement was fast, and the three temporary defense lines formed by Cui Qi were destroyed one after another, and more than 200 warships rushed to the Yuan Jun main formation in an instant.

At this time, due to the indiscriminate bombardment of shore artillery, Yuan Jun did not dare to board the ship, but hid in the corner and curled up in a ball, thinking that he would dodge the shelling first.

He can wait, but Cui Qi can't wait, cannonballs are like raindrops from all directions to his fleet, the three detachments sent to resist Jiaming before were all wiped out, and the two detachments that were wandering on the flanks were about to be broken through by the coercion, the most fatal thing was the south, the breakthrough that he spent a lot of energy to tear open, and now it was firmly blocked by the end of the day, and the thirty breakthrough warships were either burned or captured by the Japanese army, none of them could escape by chance, and even the ship of Li Yiqi where he was bombed into shape, The arrow tower was almost razed to the ground, and the deck was cracked and collapsed in all directions, and if it weren't for the sturdy hull, I am afraid that it would have sunk into the sea long ago.

The damage to the Yuanjun flagship was even more serious, the hull had begun to tilt, most of the hull was submerged in water, and the aft deck continued to overflow with the water, and it was estimated that it would sink completely in another two quarters of an hour. But even so, Yuan Jun still didn't dare to step out of the command room, for fear that one would be accidentally hit by a shell, wouldn't it be his own death, but it would be better to brake quietly, maybe there would be a turnaround.

Li Mingxuan stood beside Yuan Jun and tried his best to persuade him to board the ship quickly, otherwise Cui Qi would lead his troops to break through. The two ships were already very close, but Yuan Jun was iron-hearted, and he didn't want to take this risk for anything, and explained to Li Mingxuan: "Don't worry, he is just right to lure the enemy ship away for us, and when the time comes, we will take advantage of the chaos to escape, it will definitely be much safer than shuttling through the rain of bullets." After speaking, he also patted Li Mingxuan's shoulder with his hand to show comfort.

"Stupid!" Li Mingxuan pushed Yuan Jun away and scolded angrily: "Do you think that the Japanese are all fools, how can they even forget to board the ship for inspection? I don't even have this bit of common sense, and you're embarrassed to comfort me? Wine bag and rice bag, I, Li Mingxuan, can be regarded as seeing through! ”

Yuan Jun didn't expect that Li Mingxuan, who had always groveled to himself, would insult himself so nakedly at this moment, which shows that when it comes to life and death, human nature is exposed. "Hehe, that's what you really think of me, right?" Yuan Jun sneered: "It must be very hard to serve the wine bag and rice bag for so many years, Yuan Someone, thank you here, I won't delay your escape, go, don't worry about me." ”

"That's not what I meant..."Li Mingxuan wanted to explain to Yuan Jun, but when he saw that he had turned his face away, he gave up, "Take care, my lord, if there is an afterlife, Mingxuan will definitely serve you." With that, he turned and ran to the deck.

"It's because you hate iron and don't make steel," Listening to Li Mingxuan's footsteps as he walked away, Yuan Jun couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice: "Take care, I hope there will be an afterlife, and I will be brothers with you." ”

There is a kind of friendship called alpine and flowing water, and there is also a kind of friendship called smelly and like-minded, the so-called "Qin Hui and friends", it is these two people.

Cui Qi is not a fool, when he saw Li Mingxuan running alone, he knew that Yuan Jun was determined not to board the ship. "In that case, what is Ben waiting for you to do?! Brothers, remove the pedal and break through with me! Cui Qi yelled at the soldiers around him.

"But Master Li hasn't boarded the ship yet!" A staff member reminded in a whisper.

"I know," Cui Qi said, "Without Yuan Jun, what is the use of him Li Mingxuan?" Leave him alone, do as I say, remove the pedals! ”

The widest width of the board house ship was only more than 30 meters, and it was only a matter of a few seconds to run to the end, but at this time, Li Mingxuan had to dodge stray bullets, and also had to cross the potholes and wreckage on the deck, and it took nearly five minutes before he reached the side of the ship.

In the face of the joint assault of Wakiban and Jiaming, Cui Qi was already struggling to support, and now that he learned that Yuan Jun refused to board the ship, he was angry and immediately withdrew the board and sailed south.

Removing the pedals, breaking the hook and cable, turning the rudder, and accelerating all in one go, without dragging the mud and water, so that when Li Mingxuan rushed to the side of the ship, he could only look at the backs of nearly 100 warships and sigh gloomily.

"This may be fate," Li Mingxuan leaned lightly on the railing, admiring the sea of fire in front of him, listening to the cracking of the deck and the roar of the artillery, he suddenly smiled slightly, and said to himself: "General, I don't want to be born on the same day in the same year, but I want to die on the same day and in the same year, Mingxuan will say goodbye, let's see you in the next life." ”

At this time, only an hour has passed since Li Yiqi's death, and the two enemies used their deaths to end the party struggle between the north and the south, and at the same time buried the North Korean navy. Fortunately, sadly?

Seeing that Wakiban and Jiaming were chasing Cui Qi away, Yoshihiro ordered Zhongheng to lead several ships to search for Yuanjun's flagship, aiming to clear the remnants of the fresh soldiers and eliminate worries.

Zhongheng has long wanted to lead the army to participate in the war, although this time is a search mission, but it is also a piece of military achievement, naturally can not be lazy, he plans to divide the fleet into two groups, respectively from the east and west sides to the flagship, after confirming that there is no ambush, and then use the hook cable to close the distance between the two ships, and finally lay the pedal (springboard) to connect the two ships, and you can board the ship after clearing resistance, which is the main method of naval warfare in the sixteenth century - broadside warfare.

It turned out that Zhongheng's consideration was superfluous, and the ship was already empty except for Yuan Jun. More than 300 ashigaru smoothly boarded the deck and began an all-round search.

"From the deck to the bottom of the cabin, every place must be carefully searched, and there must be no fish that slip through the net." Zhongheng ordered. He then led some of the soldiers to inspect the cabin, while the other went on to inspect the deck.

"What's the matter, I haven't caught a single fresh soldier." Outside the command room, Ashigaru complained that no fresh soldiers meant no reward, no reward, so wouldn't their hard work be in vain.

"It's all about helping cowards," Ashigaru Yi also muttered, pointing to the command room and saying, "This is the last one, if there is no more drama, we will really be busy in vain." ”
