Daba Village, located in the southwest of the main island of Zhongba Island, is located at the edge of a wide and gentle river shoreline of about 1 km long, is concave, the bottom of the river is tens of meters deep, the soil at the bottom of the river is soft, the line of sight is open, there is no reef, it is a natural port, and a large number of people who fled to Zhongba Island landed from here.

There are still dozens of ferries parked on the shore, and the villagers on the shore use these ferries to escape to the island. On the shore land, hundreds of huts made of thatch and trees have been built.
At this time, a large number of people were gathering next to the entire defeat village, and 3,000 untidy and untidy remnants of the Onishi army were waiting on the shore under the leadership of Wei Yong and Wei Bing.
Next to the army, thousands of young men armed with wooden guns and sticks stood on the bank of the river, most of them with frightened faces on their faces, and Wei Yong personally led hundreds of soldiers of the Great Western Army to supervise the formation in the rear.
These young men were forcibly transferred from various villages by the two brothers Wei Yong overnight, threatening their families and lives, preparing to force them to fight with Sima Yu and them.
This time is different from the small slave army that attacked before, with the 3,000 remnants of the Great West Army in their hands, Wei Yong and Wei Bing have no bottom in their hearts, and they can only rely on more people to increase some confidence.
"They're coming! They're coming! ”
"It's coming, it's coming!"
At that time, the autumn sun had gradually risen into the air, and under the sunlight, huge warships began to appear on the river in the southwest of the main island, and they were as black and oppressive as dark clouds.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the Qilin Naval Division had already appeared on the river less than 2 kilometers away from the village of Daba, carrying thousands of troops around the mountain area of the main island.
Yesterday, many villagers on the island only heard that a large fleet had arrived on Zhongba Island, but they did not see it in person.
When they saw the huge size of this fleet with their own eyes at this time, most of the strong men who were forcibly drawn became panicked, and they couldn't resist the fear in their hearts at all, and the whole team moved violently, even in the formation of the Great Western Army next to them.
"Death to those who retreat!"
In the face of the oncoming Qilin Sailor, some of the young men standing in the front row retreated in panic, forcing the entire young and strong military formation to start retreating, and Wei Yong, who was standing in the rear supervising the formation, directly waved his hand and cut off a retreating young man and said sharply.
"Ah~"
When the soldiers under his command heard this, they also swung their broadswords at the retreating soldiers, and for a while, dozens of screams sounded on the shore, and dozens of young men died tragically under the knives of these overseer soldiers.
A series of screams finally stabilized the young men, and they stayed trembling with wooden guns and sticks in their hands, their hearts full of fear.
On the main ship of the naval division, Sima Yu stood in the attic surrounded by Wu Song, Yu Dayou and others, and the situation clearly came into view as the distance approached the shore.
"My lord, they have hijacked a lot of strong people to come to help in the war"
Looking at the thousands of young men who were clustered on the shore under the threat of Wei Yong and others, Yu Dayou frowned and said.
Although these young men who had never been on the battlefield were no threat in Yu Dayou's eyes, they were blocked from the place where the army landed, and it was impossible to ignore them.
But if the attack is ordered, it will inevitably cause a large number of deaths and injuries to these innocent youths, which is also what Yu Dayou does not want to see.
"Hmph, madness! Order the trebuchet to prepare, fire on the shore"
Sima Yu also saw the thousands of young men trembling on the shore, and said with a gloomy face, in his heart that the two brothers Wei Yong and Wei Bing had been sentenced to death.
"Lord, now we are nearly 500 meters away from the shore, and the range of the catapult cannot hit them at all"
Ma Lin, the deputy general of the Navy Division who was behind Yu Dayou, was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly clenched his fists and exhorted Sima Yu.
After Yu Jiajun surrendered to Sima Yu, because of the failure of the artillery, Yu Dayou immediately ordered the craftsmen under his command to transform all the ships, and the ships were loaded with stone carts and ballistas, although the time was only more than 1 month, but more than 30 warships have been refitted.
"Hehe, I don't want to hit the soldiers and those young people on the shore, what I want to hit is their courage and people's hearts" Sima Yu was not disapprehensive when he heard this, and looked at Ma Lindao who dared to speak out with a little appreciation.
At this time, the Great Western Army and the young men on the shore were not long-trained battlefield warriors, and they must have been timid in the face of the mighty Qilin sailors. Sima Yu's catapult attack was to take advantage of the fear in their hearts and further undermine their morale.
When people know that death is coming, few can withstand the torment of fear in their hearts.
"The lord has a wonderful plan!"
Yu Dayou, Huang Jingtian and others on the side suddenly lit up when they heard this, and they bowed to Sima Yu with joy and sincerity.
Sima Yu's plan was very clever in taking advantage of the fear of the other party's people and soldiers, and few people were able to capture the enemy's mental dynamics so quickly on the battlefield and use them
"The subordinates are ashamed, they don't know the intentions of the lord and boldly contradict the lord, and ask the lord to surrender!" When Ma Lin heard this, he was also in admiration in his heart, and pleaded guilty with a look of shame.
"Haha, you dare to speak out, what is the crime? If the army in the future is full of mediocre talents, then it is my Sima Yu's sin! ”
Hearing this, Sima Yu helped Ma Lin up and laughed heartily.
"The lord is wise!"
When all the officers and men around heard this, they were all moved and convinced, and the morale of the entire main ship was greatly boosted for a while.
Ma Lin, who was helped up by Sima Yu, was deeply moved, and quickly ordered the herald to raise the flag and order the surrounding ships to use catapults to attack.
"Whew~"
"Bang!"
In the roaring sound of breaking the air, hundreds of kilograms of boulders were quickly thrown and flew down on the surface of the river on the shore, splashing water straight at the soldiers and people on the shore.
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
The boulder was falling from the sky, and the huge sound of splashing in the water made many soldiers and Minzhuang frightened, and the soldiers and Minzhuang standing in the front row involuntarily retreated again.
"Don't mess up, don't mess up!"
Wei Yong and Wei Bing, who were in the rear, were furious when they saw this, and shouted again to stop everyone from retreating.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
As the fleet slowly moved forward, the boulders that came from the sky got closer and closer to the riverbank, and two boulders had already hit the edge of the riverbank.
"Ah, run!"
"Run!"
Feeling the violent tremor coming from the ground, looking at the boulders flying closer and closer in the air, the soldiers and Minzhuang at the front finally couldn't bear the pressure in their hearts, and collapsed and fled to the back, and the others behind them also joined the rout when they saw this.
The two brothers Wei Yong and Wei Bing originally only relied on their courage to slowly sit in the position of thousands of households, and they only relied on violence to lead the army on weekdays, and they didn't know how to govern the army at all.
"Ahh
"Whoever dares to retreat, he will be the end!"
"Kill!"
"Ahh
Seeing that his soldiers had been defeated before they could make contact with the other party, Wei Yong was furious, and slashed over a soldier who fled to his side and shouted angrily, and the guards behind him also drew their swords and swung them at the other soldiers who fled, and in an instant, several soldiers fell under their own swords.
"Damn, Brother Wei wants us to die! Fight with them! ”
In the crowd, a hundred households who had already been dissatisfied with Wei Yong and Wei Bing immediately shouted, pulled out his knife and killed Wei Yong and the others.
"yes, kill these bastards!"
As soon as the man moved, the other soldiers and Minzhuang followed, and then drew their swords and killed Wei Yong and the others.
"You, how dare you rebel!"
Seeing this, Wei Yong was immediately frightened, and pointed to the many rioting soldiers and people in a panic.
On weekdays, Wei Yong didn't know how to treat the soldiers and people under his command well, and under his governance, the entire main island of Zhongba Island was in chaos, and it was already unpopular.
In the past, everyone did not dare to resist because of his bravery, but now at the critical moment of his life, Wei Yong's violent measures are like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting the resentment in everyone's hearts, and they have risen up to resist.
The originally fierce and vicious soldiers around Wei Yong were also stunned when they looked at the surging crowd, and they couldn't swing the big knife in their hands, so they hurriedly threw away the big knife and ran away.
During this period of time, they followed Wei Yong and Wei Bing to the two brothers, and they all committed more or less human lives in their hands.
Even the hundreds of households under the command of the two Wei Yong brothers were also stunned, at this time, they couldn't stop the soldiers under their command at all, and a few of them wanted to step forward and violently stop them, but they were instantly cut into pieces by the exposed crowd, and the other hundred households suddenly became agitated when they saw this, and then joined the team that crusaded against the Wei brothers.
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, Wei Bing quickly came to his senses, and pulled Wei Yong, who was stunned in place, to escape.
"Kill! Stop them both! ”
The people behind him were even more angry, shouting and shouting around the two brothers.
For a while, the two brothers Wei Yong and Wei Bing, who originally had the ambition to fight to the death with the Qilin Water Master, became street rats in the blink of an eye.
Sima Yu and the others on the river were also shocked by this scene, originally he just wanted to hit the morale of the other party and reduce the casualties of the war, who would have thought that he would directly cause a riot among the enemy troops on the opposite side.
Immediately, Sima Yu ordered the catapults to stop the attack, and the whole army marched rapidly.
When the Qilin Naval Division and the soldiers of the Guards Battalion landed on the shore, the battle in the entire dam village was basically over, and the two brothers, Wei Yong and Wei Bing, still did not escape the siege, and were blocked outside the village by the angry villagers and soldiers, and died under the knife.
And with the death of the two brothers Wei Yong and Wei Bing, many remnants of the Daxi army and young Zhuang also surrendered to Sima Yu under the leadership of the first hundred households.
So far, Sima Yu has occupied the entire main island of Zhongba Island without spending a single soldier.
