Chapter 1210: Defeat of Eastern Wu
The surrounding Dongwu guards were already at a loss for what to do in fear and were killed by Li Yi's guards. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Jiang Gan was slapped by Sun Quan, he still has to escort him at this moment. He glanced at Li Yi in the distance with resentment, and said, "Your Majesty, withdraw quickly." Evacuate! ”
Although Sun Quan was angry with Jiang Gan, his life was important at the moment, and he thought in his heart that he must not fall into the hands of Li Yi, so he followed Jiang Gan, and a group of dozens of people rushed to the very edge of the stern of the ship that did not catch fire. As far as the eye could see, the water was full of burning warships, shattered wreckage and soldiers fleeing for their lives.
Looking at the corpses densely suspended on the water, Emperor Sun Quan of Great Wu seemed to see his end.
There was a scream behind him, Sun Quan looked back, and saw that there were only a dozen of his guards left to resist the Tang army, he covered his heart and said secretly: "My life is over!" ”
Jiang Gan said: "Your Majesty, jump down!" You see everybody's jumping, so jump too. Jump to have a chance to live. ”
Just when Sun Quan was hesitating whether to jump into the river and flee for his life, a voice came: "Your Majesty, don't panic, the old minister is here!" ”
When Sun Quan heard the prestige, he saw Huang Gai commanding a small ship to come quickly.
Sun Quan was overjoyed, Jiang Gan commanded to throw down the rope, and everyone got off the already blazing ship and came to the small ship. Huang Gai commanded the sailors and rushed to the south bank.
On the big ship, Li Yi stared at the wiped out Dawu royal guards, and snorted coldly: "It's just cremation...... The herald ordered Sun Quan to be rounded up everywhere, and the blue-eyed child must not be allowed to escape! ”
He flicked his cloak and turned back to his flagship.
The order was quickly delivered.
A small ship burst out of the fire, very conspicuous. Gan Ning, the general of the Tang Army who was sailing here, saw that one of the people on the boat had a dragon robe, and he thought that it should be Sun Quan.
He was overjoyed, and urged the fleet to chase after him at the bow of the ship, and at the same time shouted: "The traitor is gone, Gan Ning is here!" ”
Sun Quan, who had become a frightened bird, looked back and saw Gan Ning's god-like appearance, he was shocked again and shouted, "Escort!" Escort! ”
The veteran Huang Gai was loyal, bent his bow and arrows, and pointed an arrow at Gan Ning, and said angrily: "Gan Ning, don't deceive people too much, look at the arrow!" ”
"Dangchang" sounded, Gan Ning flew the oncoming sharp arrow, and laughed: "Old General Huang, don't go, your old lord Sun Wentai is waiting for you in Jicheng!" ”
Huang Gai didn't listen to Gan Ning's words, but just urged to row quickly.
At this time, more than 100 of the thousands of warships in Soochow finally rushed out of the sea of fire and fled back with smoke and looking at the south coast.
The entire Niu Zhu seemed to be burning, and the shouts of killing resounded in the sky.
Seeing that his side had won a complete victory, Li Yi on the one hand ordered troop carriers to quickly carry the army to prepare for landing, and on the other hand, he sent a fleet to encircle and suppress the warships of Soochow that had escaped by chance.
Zhang Shijie and Gan Ning are on the east side, Tan Daoji and Zhang Dingbian are on the west side, and Li Yi, Yu Dayou, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang are in the middle. There are thousands of large and small ships, forming three arrows, strangling the fleeing Dongwu warships all the way until the Dongwu Water Village.
Lu Su, Sun Jiao, Sun Shao and others are still capable, some of them ran back in a big boat, and some of them ran back in a small boat in person. At the gate of the water village on this side, he caught Sun Quan and others.
"My life is resting, my life is resting!" The other river was full of enemy warships, and our own naval army was completely wiped out in the raging fire. Sun Quan, who originally intended to burn Li Yi, regretted it and beat his chest and cried.
Seeing Sun Quan's appearance, Jiang Gan bowed down in front of Sun Quan in horror and shame: "Your Majesty! ”
"Fuck you!" The angry-eyed Sun Quan kicked Jiang Gan off the boat with just one kick. With a bang, with the splash, the figure of the governor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty disappeared.
"Don't be surprised, Lu Xun is here!"
Hearing only a shout, at the opening of the gate of the water village, Lu Xun stood at the bow of a building ship and drove out.
When Sun Quan saw Lu Xun, it was as if he had found a great savior, and exclaimed: "The Grand Governor, my Great Governor, save me!" ”
Lu Xun was actually already frightened, he pretended to be elegant and calm in order to calm the defeated soldiers of his own side. He waved the flag in his hand, on the one hand to welcome Sun Quan into the water village, and on the other hand, he ordered the catapult on the water village platform to prepare to meet the enemy.
Although Jiang Gan was kicked into the water by Sun Quan, he was also rescued by his own soldiers, but he looked very miserable like a chicken in the soup.
………………
Li Yi led the Tang army, which had won a great victory in the water battle, and chased it to a mile in front of the Dongwu Water Village.
I saw Li Yi on the Yanjing wave the overlord gun in his hand, and said loudly: "Order, the whole army stops advancing!" ”
The horn sounded, and the well-trained soldiers stopped the boat.
When all the Tang army and navy stopped, there was a sharp whistling from the dark Dongwu Water Village. Immediately after, stones flew like an overwhelming land, and smashed into the river in front of the Tang army's warship group, as if a huge boulder hail had fallen from the sky, splashing a huge splash of water.
This is naturally the trebuchet of Soochow, and such a dense boulder is impossible for even a battleship to resist.
The enemy's water village surrounded the largest landing point along the river, and there was a water village to block it, and the trebuchets in it could easily throw the Tang army outside the water village.
Li Yi waved his spear and ordered: "Order all the fireboats to be dispatched, no matter what, we must burn the enemy's water village and open a way for the army!" Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong were ordered to lead special forces to cross the river and eliminate the trebuchets on the shore. ”
With his order, in the blazing firelight, slowly sailed out of endless, densely packed small fireboats. These boats resemble small one-man fishing boats, with fire-starters placed in the front and rear, and two people in the middle paddling.
In less than half a column of incense, more than 2,000 small fireboats covered the river.
At the same time, the bow of the battleship Chang'an on the flank of the Tang fleet, three thousand Tang special forces, under the leadership of Luo Cheng and other three generals, were ready to go.
Commander Luo Cheng said impassionedly: "We will be the first batch of soldiers to land in the million Tang Army, and show your courage and strength to open up a safe landing site for our army." For the emperor, open the channel to unify the south of the Yangtze River! ”
"Datang will win!" Deputy Commander Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong shouted.
"Datang will win!" Everyone on the battleship shouted.
As the figures jumped into the river, the special forces of the Tang Dynasty disappeared into the heavens and the earth, as if they had never appeared.
Gan Ning, the captain of the Luoyang, was very envious of Luo Cheng and the three of them being able to lead the strongest combat power of the Tang Dynasty, he walked over, stretched out his hand and said, "Whether you can land smoothly depends on Brother Shixin." ”
"Datang will win!"
Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong, and Wei Chigong shook hands with Gan Ning, and then jumped into the water.
Gan Ning looked at the calm of the river and returned to it, then he turned around and shouted to the soldiers in his headquarters: "No matter where you are, you will serve the emperor." If you want to be in the special forces, you have to do better. The whole army is on alert, preparing for a landing battle. ”
The soldiers said in unison: "Wow! ”
………………
In the middle of the river, there is only one direction for the dense Tang military ships, that is, the Dongwu Water Village on the south bank. They lined up in a row, aiming at the outer wall of the water village that was more than ten miles long.
Yu Dayou, the governor of the Tang Navy, was beside Li Yi, and after being ordered, he unfurled the flag and said loudly: "Order the first echelon to attack the enemy's water village!" ”
After the order was given, nearly a thousand small fireboats rowed quickly, and countless boulders fell from the sky, and when they hit the river, a large splash of water rose into the sky, as if it was raining rain.
However, the soldiers of the Datang Navy were fearless, and they had only one belief in their hearts, opening the way to victory for the Datang.
Many fireships were concentrated by boulders, and with a single blow, they were torn apart. Many of the Datang boatmen died, but the people who were afraid were the Dongwu people hiding in the water village.
Sun Quan was already heartbroken, and said incoherently: "There are many ships, so many ...... It must be a fire ship, and it will burn down my water village...... Governor, send a fleet to destroy these fireships! ”
Lu Xun smiled bitterly, and he said helplessly to Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, go back to Jianye to prepare for city defense." ”
He pointed to the fire that was still burning across the river, and finally his eyes fell on the Tang army fleet in front of the back of the fire, thousands of large and small warships, arranged in a strict formation, giving people a feeling of being unmatched, and said to Sun Quan: "Our fleet, our sailors, have been buried in the sea of fire, and Niuzhu Water Village can no longer resist the attack of the Tang army......
"Jiang Gan! It's all Jiang Gan, this idiot! Sun Quan scolded in panic.
"Boom!"
As he spoke, hundreds of fires suddenly erupted outside the water village, and the next moment they hit the outer wall of the water village. As time passed, the flames burned in the sky. After another period of time, the wooden water wall more than ten miles long burst into flames.
And Soochow's fleet was completely wiped out, so he could only watch dryly.
Lu Xun said anxiously to Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, go quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" ”
Although there were trebuchet positions in Eastern Wu, the Tang army's fireships were too small and very flexible on the river, and it was difficult to hit these small fireships even if the boulders bombarded them. If a person who came from later generations saw this scene, he would definitely say that Soochow was using anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes.
Although the momentum of Soochow's trebuchet was huge, the results were very limited. Soochow did not have a fleet in front, only trebuchets in the rear, and could not stop a large number of fireships from attacking.
Soon, the second ladder of the Tang army entered the water village, and fires broke out everywhere in the water village of Dongwu.
Immediately after, the third echelon, the fourth echelon, entered in turn.
Sun Quan led 10,000 remnants of the army and fled in embarrassment. And Lu Xun, Huang Gai, Sun Jiao, Sun Shao and others stuck to the shore defense and delayed time.
For a time, the flames on the south bank of the river were monstrous, and the fire that broke out was even higher on the north bank of the river not long ago.
Li Yi was at the bow of the flagship Yanjing, raised the overlord gun, pointed at the river bank with the tip of the fiery gun, and said loudly: "Spread my order, the whole army will assault, land on the south bank, and sweep through Dongwu!" ”
In the sky-high firelight, the fleet of the Tang Army slowly drove up, and the boulders falling from the sky were too sparse, and gradually they could not see a single one.
Between heaven and earth, only continuous fires remained, corresponding to the Tang Fleet that was advancing step by step.
