Chapter 1209: Burning River
Behind the raging wall of fire, more than a thousand Tang warships floated quietly on the water. The powerful soldiers of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info held weapons, and their blazing eyes reflected the flames of use.
The enemy wants to use fire to wipe them out. Unfortunately, the enemy's conspiracy did not succeed, and the opportunity for the Don army to counterattack was coming.
Behind the huge battleship was a succession of first-class, second-class, third-class, fourth-class ships, and finally a dense mass of innumerable small fireships. All the ships, led by three battleships, formed three large clusters, like a giant dragon, leading a herd of water lions.
On the shore, Li Yi, the emperor of Wude of the Tang Dynasty, fully armored, boarded the boat with an overlord gun in his hand, and sailed past the warship array, always holding the overlord gun in his hand. Everywhere I passed, the Tang Dynasty soldiers on the battleship shouted long live.
Li Yi boarded the battleship Yanjing, the flagship of the Tang Navy, and stood on the bow of the ship, pointing a big gun in his hand, and in the midst of shouts, the huge Tang army and navy took action.
Three large formations were formed at the head of three battleships. The huge battleship was able to break through all obstacles, and was covered with iron sheets, not afraid of false flames, and could easily ram through the burning empty shell ship, shouldering the heavy task of opening the way ahead. The other ships were the last, and the small fireboats were the last.
………………
On the surface of the great river in the south of the Tang Water Village, a large number of warships of Eastern Wu came to the outside of the Tang Army Water Village. The fire in the village is so huge that they can't see through the situation inside. However, only when the Tang army was completely burned could such a large fire be achieved, so the morale of the people in Soochow was high.
In order to ensure safety, Sun Quan was at the end, but it was only a few hundred steps away from the Tang Army Water Village.
Looking at the burning fire, Sun Quan thought to himself that there might be no survivors in the village. Therefore, Sun Quan urged the ship to the forefront.
For a time, hundreds of serial warships composed of thousands of warships in Dongwu were divided into nine columns in front of the original gate of the burning Tang Army's Dazhai, and the dogs and teeth of the fish scale array were staggered and moored on the water.
Huang Gai, Ling Tong, Sun Jiao, Sun Shao, Ding Feng, Zhu Huan, these generals of Eastern Wu, their eyes were full of victory, and they were on the first ship of the column, "admiring" the raging fire.
For the first time, they discovered that fire was so wonderful.
"The raging fire burned the Tang army; Towering Wu Xi, sweeping the Central Plains ......" Sun Quan flashed his blue eyes, shook his purple hair, shook his head and tail, and made great poetry.
Sun Quan's chanting reverberated on the river, accompanied by the fire in front of him, more than 100,000 soldiers of Eastern Wu were intoxicated.
"It's wet, it's wet! However, it should be changed, and the surging fire will burn down the south of the Yangtze River. Gorgeous Wu Xi, collapsed with a bang......"
When the praise came, Sun Quan was very proud, but when he heard the end, he said angrily: "Soul is faint, that bastard said it!" ”
Including Jiang Gan, everyone hurriedly shook their heads.
A Dawu royal guard said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it seems to be from ...... It's from the fire! ”
"Sea of fire?" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but look into the sea of fire, and sneered, "You roll the calf for me, how can there be a living person in this fire......"
At this moment, three huge warships slowly sailed out of the fire.
When the three behemoth battleships crossed the sea of fire, Sun Quan, Jiang Gan and the others stared at their eyes in disbelief, and their faces flushed by the firelight turned extremely pale with a whoosh.
Sun Quan's blue eyes were almost bulging out of his sockets, his heart was hollowed out at this moment, and he took three steps back in fright and fell into the arms of the guards. His face twitched, and he pointed ahead in disbelief: "How is it possible, it is...... It's the battleship of the Don Army! ”
Jiang Gan, whose face was white, did not give the blazing fire face at all with his teeth, and he trembled for a while. He shivered in horror, and after goosebumps, the cold woke up his brain, and he screamed: "It's not good, it's a plan, retreat, the whole army retreats!" ”
However, at this time, the three battleships of Datang were getting closer and closer, only to hear three loud "boom booms", and the bow with a sharp ram pierced into the six chain warships composed of twelve buildings in the front row of Dongwu. The huge impact force caused the Dongwu soldiers on these ships to fall to the ground like dominoes one after another.
Li Yi's ship rammed Sun Quan's ship head-on.
"Oops......" Sun Quan and the others shouted for a while, and they made a butt together.
When Sun Quan, who fell to the ground, sat up in embarrassment, his blue eyes full of fear saw a familiar figure appear on the opposite side, and he lost his voice and said: "Li Yi, you were not burned to death!" ”
"Escort, escort! Get ready for broadboarding! Jiang Gan got up in a panic, clutched his helmet and shouted.
At this time, the shouts of killing began on the ships around them, and the battle had begun to break out.
Li Yi's overlord spear in his hand pointed at Sun Quan and laughed: "The carving insect technique, how can you hide it from my eyes." Sun Zhongmou, I will give you a chance, surrender, I see Xiangxiang, as well as the old father-in-law and Bo Fu in their affection, spare you from death! ”
Sun Quan jumped up from the deck like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail, glared at him, pulled out the ancient ingot knife with a loud bang, and shouted fiercely: "Li Yi, I don't share the sky with you, if you surrender, I may let you ......go."
"Good, good, good!" Li Yi said three times in a row, his sword eyebrows were raised, and the deep eyes that reflected the firelight revealed a cold chill, and Sun Quan and the others were frightened.
Li Yi sneered: "Since you are bent on seeking death, then I will satisfy you." Shoot arrows and rockets for me. Catch Sun Zhong's conspirators, reward a thousand gold, and seal ten thousand households! ”
In the sound of "Xiuxiu" arrows, a rocket behind Li Yi rushed into the sky, and when it fell, it harvested a piece of Dongwu soldiers on the opposite side.
"Escort, escort!" Sun Quan shouted while holding the ancient ingot knife, and then turned around and ran towards the stern of the boat.
"Blue-eyed kids, don't run!" Dian Wei shouted angrily, pulled out his twin iron halberds, and led the soldiers of this ship to smash into the enemy formation on the enemy deck in an instant.
Sun Quan's ship gathered the most elite forces of Eastern Wu, and for a while, the two sides were inseparable.
At the same time, Yu Dayou, the governor of the Tang Army's navy, was in the middle of the dispatch, and the Tang army's battleships fired ballistae in unison, and archers fired rockets. For a time, the forwards of the Soochow fleet were pierced by ballistas, and they caught fire one after another, and the ships were in chaos. The soldiers of Eastern Wu, who had just wiped out the Tang army with high morale, seemed to have been poured a basin of charcoal with cold fire at this moment, and they were at a loss in surprise.
"How is this possible!"
"It's not true!"
"Hit the mark!"
……
The generals of Eastern Wu, such as Ling Tongyi's martial arts and brave people, are also frightened, Huang Gai's resolute people are also terrifying, and Sun Jiao, Ding Feng, Sun Shao, and Zhu Huan's generations are all frightened.
At this moment, countless dense small fireships of the Tang Army appeared, and under the rowing of the Tang Army wrestlers, they were like torpedoes moving on the water, heading straight for the Soochow fleet.
As they approached the Soochow warships, the bows of these fireships caught fire together. The fast speed brought up a strong wind, and it exploded in an instant.
Hundreds of fireships crashed into the formation of Soochow warships, and when they rubbed against it, they caught fire and burned when they touched it, and the Soochow fleet burned on a large scale in just a few breaths.
Looking at all this, Sun Quan's blue eyes almost glared out, he grabbed Jiang Gan, who was discolored, and said angrily: "What's the matter, why is the Tang Army's naval army not burned, but our army is on fire!" ”
This matter is self-evident, Jiang Gan's whole person has been soft in Sun Quan's hands, his eyes have long lost the look just now, and he exclaimed: "It's a trick, it's a trick of Li Yi!" ”
"I bought a watch last year!" There was a loud slap, and Sun Quan slapped Jiang Gan out.
Now he didn't care about pursuing it, and shouted in panic: "The whole army retreats, and the whole army is ordered to retreat!" ”
However, just as the Eastern Wu monarchs and ministers themselves pondered earlier, this chain of warships is large and stable, and the assault is very fierce, but it is not possible to retreat. The ships of Soochow were connected by iron cables, and they could not work together in the chaos, only to see many rows of oars of the chain boats, but the hull of the ship did not move.
And the battleships of the Don Army, taking advantage of the confusion of the enemy, fired rockets wildly. The huge battleship was horizontal, and the side ballista guns fired a salvo, tearing apart the burning enemy ships with a loud bang.
The Dongwu warship was even more chaotic, and at this time, the small fireships of the Tang army like locusts came together, lit a fire that soared into the sky, and plunged into the Dongwu warship.
The entire river was covered with shimmering ashes, the cracking sound of the burning battleship of Soochow, the loud sound of the battleship crashing, and the helpless screams of the soldiers dying in their death...... The various sounds mingle together to set off a living purgatory.
The heavens and the earth were red, as if the entire Yangtze River was burning.
………………
Li Yi on the Yanjing, the flagship of the Tang Navy, saw with his own eyes that his powerful battleship could easily tear apart the linked ships of the Soochow Tower. And the huge group of Soochow naval warships in front of him has become a big fireball. He could not hide the ecstasy of victory, and ordered loudly: "Spread my will, the whole army will assault, and take advantage of the situation to break through the enemy's water village and land ......"
With Qin Feng's order, the three formations of the Tang Army, under the leadership of Yu Dayou, Tan Daoji, Zhang Shijie, Zhang Dingbian, Gan Ning, Cai Mao and others, bypassed the burning Dongwu Navy left and right, and went straight to the south bank of the river while shooting at the burning enemy.
And Li Yi himself, under the protection of the Tang royal guards, followed suit and came to the middle of Sun Quan's ship.
The Soochow royal guards were elite, and they kept their duty and did their last stubborn resistance.
And their master, Sun Quan, was already full of fear, and he didn't dare to face the tragic situation in front of him.
Sun Quan glanced at the tall figure on the front deck that was approaching, and kept shifting direction, looking for a way back.
And in every direction there were burning warships, and there were constant screams, and many soldiers jumped into the water with the fire to escape.
"No, it's not true, it's not true, I must be dreaming, dreaming......" Sun Quan couldn't believe the defeat in front of him, and it wasn't until the stern of the ship he was in was also burning with fire that he really panicked and screamed, "Resist, escort!" ”
