Chapter 174: Just a Battle
Chapter 174: Just a Battle
The storm finally stopped, the fish belly white in the east was also dyed with a few traces of gold, the Yuan soldiers squatting in the bay anchored around a small island, a large number of ships leaning together were twisted by the wind of last night, and the Yuan soldiers who woke up in the morning were busy sorting out the ships.
Wang Kui's men robbed two fishing boats yesterday, plundered a pair of beautiful fishermen and daughters and presented them to Wang Kui, drank and had fun all night on the flagship command boat, and worked with his subordinates to ruin the two fishermen half to death.
In the early hours of the morning, Wang Kui was still sleeping soundly with the girl in his arms, and his panicked subordinates knocked on the door in fear, for fear of annoying Wang Kui and being thrown into the sea to feed the fish, but it is not okay not to tell the military situation.
"What the hell is the disappointment, which damn disturbs Lao Tzu's sleep, get in here for me, see if I don't kill you turtle grandson."
His subordinates stumbled and pushed the door open a crack, swept their eyes in, saw the woman's fair body first, shrank back in fright, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a low voice: "General Qiyu, there are a lot of Song army warships outside, and they are everywhere. ”
"What? Where did his grandmother's Song Army warship come from? ”
Wang Kui jumped up from the bed bare-chested, put on his clothes and rushed out, and when he stood on the deck, he was momentarily stunned by the scene in front of him. Rows of tall warships of the Song army appeared in the field of vision, not only in front of them, but also on the left and right sides, there were warships with sails puffing forward, and the target was where they were.
"Order the anchor and prepare for battle! Rush towards the gap on the left, don't let the Song army surround us! ”
Wang Kui never dreamed that after a night of storm, countless Great Song warships would fall from the sky, but his location was the only way for the enemy to move forward. What about the large number of reinforcements that were promised, didn't they receive any news from me in return? Lao Tzu has been blocked here for half a month in vain, isn't this a mouse adding a cat to his own death!
At this time, the small boats on the periphery of Wang Kui's department had already exchanged hands with the Song army, and the position they were in was indeed crucial, and if they wanted a large number of ships to go up the river, they had to pass through the small island where they were anchored.
Zhang Shijie didn't rest well for a few days, and was surrounded by Zhu Qing's fleet from the front on the way, and fought two tough battles with each other's losses, and there was no distinction between the superior and the inferior. However, after Zhang Hongfan's subordinate in the rear caught up, ten gunboats acted as the vanguard in front, and this time the strength was reversed, and the Song army suffered heavy losses in front of the artillery, and could only rely on the number of people to desperately block the retreat.
When the whole army from Leizhou was ready to be deployed, there were more than 2,300 ships, large and small, 200,000 soldiers and civilians, and the food and materials loaded were incalculable, and the population and resources even exceeded that of a city. I thought that relying on such a huge strength, it would be no problem to fight a war of attrition with the Yuan soldiers, but after being pursued all the way, the loss of warships and personnel was close to half, and last night in order to get out of the trap and brave the storm to sail, there were dozens of ships capsized on the road.
After discussion last night, it was decided that the army would go to Xinhui County to rest and replenish personnel and food supplies, and when the time came, depending on whether the situation would be by water or dry road, or directly ask for help from Guangzhou, Zhang Zhensun would send troops to meet him.
After several tragic battles on the water, he was really frightened by Zhang Hongfan's brave cannon, and the general who was sent to the palace to intercept the task basically had only one means available, that is, to desperately drive the boat to ram Zhang Hongfan's gunboat.
In addition to Lan Shize's Wenzhou naval division, which also damaged two gunboats, in the last two battles, the Song army behind the palace was completely annihilated, but there was no substantial result, just by abandoning the lives of warships and soldiers, in exchange for a little time to escape and transfer.
"Lord Zhang, there are Yuan soldiers warships intercepting in the bay in front, there are more than sixty of them, and the general of the naval division in front has identified them as pirate Zhu Qing's men." After the herald finished reporting, he waited uncertainly for Zhang Shijie's reaction, and the night's efforts were in vain, and he still did not escape from the encirclement of the Yuan soldiers.
"Ah, I'm angry, this Zhu Qing deceived me too much, sent ships everywhere to block it, ordered the warships in front, and eliminated the blockade at all costs, and today the holy driver must reach Xinhui County." Zhang Shijie slapped the table, and the herald hurriedly ran out to distribute the herald.
Huyan Aoki, the leader of the Jinjia Forbidden Army, stood behind Zhang Shijie, and suddenly bowed and said: "Lord Zhang, I am willing to go to kill the enemy and rush out of a bloody road, cover the holy car along the river, and arrive at Xinhui County safely." ”
Zhang Shijie waved his hand and said: "General Huyan, you are the last barrier to protect the emperor, and the Golden Armor Forbidden Army has only one duty, that is, to protect the holy car." Now we still have elite soldiers to kill the enemy in front, even if I die first, I can't let you go into battle, and I won't agree to your request. ”
Huyan Aoki knelt on the ground with a puff, raised his hands and said: "Lord Zhang, Aoki really has only one duty, which is to protect the safety of the royal family, and it has been nearly ten years, and I think I have done a good job." But now that the enemy is present, these forbidden troops under my command are well-equipped and well-trained, and they can't hide at home, so it's even more important to go into battle to kill the enemy, Lord Zhang! ”
"This ......"
Lu Xiufu, who has never spoken, helped Huyan Aoki up, as a general, he has a good martial arts, but this position makes him always anxious, but he can't go into battle to kill the enemy in person.
"Lord Zhang, what General Huyan said is also very reasonable, breaking out of the encirclement now is the most important thing, especially with Zhang Hongfan chasing after him. At present, the emperor is under layers of protection, even if General Huyan is not there, there is no problem with safety, you see, ......" Lu Xiufu could not directly propose to let Huyan Aoki go into battle, and Zhang Shijie had to speak in person.
Zhang Shijie snorted and said: "Okay, Huyan Aoki listens to the order, and you will personally lead twenty warships and five thousand Jinjia forbidden troops to meet the warships blocking in front." You only have half a day, you must break through the blockade to cover the holy car, or you will come to see you! ”
"Yes!"
Huyan Aoki took the order with joy, ordered his elite troops, drove twenty warships out of the ranks, and rushed towards Wang Kui's team with an invisible fierce aura.
The gold price forbidden army is one of the thousands of troops in the country, carefully selected and gathered, not to mention the degree of training and combat power, the entry height of five feet eight inches, is the modern one meter eighty-one, I don't know how many people blocked.
They train strictly and weekdays, but they rarely have the opportunity to go directly to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they have been holding back for the past year, otherwise with Huyan Aoki's identity, it is impossible to kneel down to Zhang Shijie and just ask for a fight.
Wang Kui's subordinates were a rabble, most of the team were original pirates, mixed with some of the Song Dynasty troops, only a few Mongol squads were in the front, and the others were good at fighting against the wind. As soon as the warships on both sides clashed, Wang Kui, who was already determined to escape, was killed by twenty elite warships of Huyan Aoki.
