Chapter 363: The Role of the Captive
Now that everything is in place, just waiting for Azig to cross the river, seeing that the sky has gradually darkened, but there are still no birds flying on the river not far away, at this time, Azig has already begun to act, ordering the troops to start boarding and retreating. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He had to keep his soldiers safe, and Dolgon had given the order to meet them on the river, hoping that they would retreat quickly, otherwise they would really have to wait for a long time if they missed the opportunity, but in the current situation, they didn't have the time to wait
They could only retreat at a faster pace, otherwise what awaited them would be destruction, and in the time they thought it was safe, they probably never dreamed that the Australians would suddenly appear on the river.
Of course, this was all planned, and the Australian warship stayed for seven days from departure to the designated place, which can be said to make their wait very difficult.
If Azig hadn't sent people to cross the river now, they really couldn't wait, after all, in order to load more and more shells, the ship had to load less food, and it had to load fuel, which was a must, and the power supply of the steam ship mainly relied on coal, and without coal it was equivalent to not being able to walk.
Just as the Manchu troops reached the middle of the river, one of them realized that something was wrong.
What is the white smoke not far away, the white smoke is getting closer and closer to them, making them feel more and more that the situation is not right, and the sudden appearance of something is definitely not a good thing, this is for sure.
So they immediately became alert, but it was useless to be alert, after all, the Australian warships were very fast, and at the speed that they could see with the naked eye, the other party had already reached a place not far from them.
Then a boom was heard, and then a bomb exploded in the water near their ship.
Judging from the current situation, they basically have no possibility of hiding in this situation, there is no hiding place on the river, and most importantly, they do not have their artillery.
Because the ships transporting soldiers include fishing boats and all kinds of boats, there is no ship that can attack Australia at all, and even if it is attacked with a bow and arrow, it is not within his range at all, and he can only row desperately towards the shore.
It's just that this row has no effect at all, the Australian artillery is overwhelming, and they have no power to fight back, even Azig on the shore heard the sound of this cannon, and from that moment he knew that he was finished, and those troops seemed to be unable to cross the river.
On the one hand, he is also thinking of a way to break through, and now the most important thing is to break through with the troops, only by breaking through can there be a glimmer of hope, he has thought that as long as he enters the mountains, there is still a possibility, that is, he can wait until the army crosses the Yangtze River to meet them.
As the Australian Navy's artillery became weaker and weaker, Azig knew that this was basically knocking out his troop carriers, and it was possible that all of them fell into the Yangtze River, and none of them survived, so even if he was very distressed, there was no other way for him to do it now.
After all, there is no other choice for him, and the most important thing is that these people in his hands must ensure safe survival, once they are all defeated, it will be a very big blow to Dorgon's power in the court.
Of course, the most important thing at the moment is that he must have a certain courage to lead these people to escape, otherwise everything will be in vain.
Seeing that all the soldiers who crossed the river disappeared to meet each other, it can be said that they were very depressed at this time, there was nothing more frustrating for them, and most importantly, they really had no other way to solve this problem.
Breaking through the defense line in order to ensure his own life, Azig wants to fight against the water, hoping to win in this way, but now it seems that it is impossible, all the soldiers are very depressed, not to mention, and everyone is now thinking about whether they can win this battle.
Now it seems that this is not a possibility at all, so they are very low.
Now that Australia's troops have surrounded them, it is impossible to break through, and he can't break through now, even if he is trying to resist, it is useless, after all, if he is surrounded, it will have no effect at all.
Chen Jun has sent someone to send him a surrender letter and ask him to surrender, otherwise what awaits them will be destruction once the time comes, but seriously, Australia is really a little reluctant to kill them, after all, the role of keeping them is very large, these people are also battle-hardened soldiers anyway, and it is more than enough to deal with the natives in Southeast Asia.
So at this time, Sun Yang and the navy were busy fishing for people on the river, and those guys were valuable treasures, and it was said that the newly established Southeast Development Group had booked prisoners of war with the naval headquarters, hoping to transport these prisoners of war to Southeast Asia to develop colonies.
After all, there are so many natives in Southeast Asia, and if these natives are just here, they will definitely pose a threat to the new immigrants and construction, so it is necessary to have a force capable of fighting to conquer them.
It just so happens that the role of these Eight Banners prisoners of war can be brought into play, in addition to their certain combat effectiveness, even here in Southeast Asia, they can only obey the arrangements of the Australians, after all, no matter what, their supply here can only rely on the Australians.
They can also get what they want from the natives, but it will definitely make their mothers unable to eat at all, so there is no need to think that they will follow Australia's arrangement.
That's why Sun Yang will save people, and of course also to add a little extra income.
For them to rescue the captives, the Ming officials who followed on the side were a little puzzled, these Australians are really merciful, the captives have to be saved, so isn't this battle in vain Saying that so many people have to eat food.
Sun Yang smiled and said nothing, he just explained that these people will be sent to Australia to work, so they don't have to worry, in the future, they can send prisoners of war to Australia if they don't want to, even if these people don't go to war, it's good to go to mining, after all, it's much better than those natives.
Compared with these prisoners of war, these prisoners of war are naturally more likeable, after all, the natives are too stupid, they can't do their jobs well, and they always need to rework, so these prisoners of war won't, at least their IQ is still much higher than them, if Azig knew that the Australians thought like this at this time, he would be dizzy.
