Chapter Forty-Eight: Unsuccessful
The moon hasn't set yet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The pre-dawn darkness is suffocating.
The black sea creates a terrifying turmoil in the abyss of the air.
"It's too close, the range is not good, change the crossbow, quickly, order the crossbowmen of the crossbow battalion to set up the crossbow" Sheng Zheng hurriedly continued to command the gunners and the soldiers around him, and then looked at me and said, "Only the four in front of us are warships, and the back few are all transport and supply ships, and the most important thing is that there is also a troop carrier, which is very inconvenient to maneuver to fight and protect friendly forces." ”
The cold moonlight melted in the hot and humid morning light, and there was a burst of restlessness and restlessness. On the cross-sailing warship of Luo Wei, the Luo Wei warship with the "Z" battle flag hanging high on the mast was already close, and the faces of the gunners on the ship could be clearly seen. "The rise and fall of the imperial country, in this battle, all the soldiers, bravely kill the enemy, cherry blossoms everywhere, scorched earth, bow down for me" Luo Wei military song is not like a war song, the song is clearly transmitted on the cliffs of the islands on all sides in the roar of the waves, the morning light is only open for a moment, but it is more pine than a thousand years, not much different. The warships were painted blue with the sea and sky, concealing the silhouette of the night walk. And we rushed thousands of miles to help, the foothold was not stable, the enemy situation was unknown, and the sudden appearance of these four Luo Wei warships was indeed very confusing and unexpected. I looked at Sheng Zheng, and I still admired this young general's disciple who was only Prince Ning's sentinel two years ago, his father and ancestors have always been lecturers in the maritime lecture hall, and his foundation is not weak, but under such a young and handsome face, there is such a chaotic and orderly mind, which really makes people sigh at the preference of the creator.
Before I could reply, there was a loud bang and a splash of water exploded on both sides of the ship, and then, a large gray cloud of mist and the pungent smell of death with yellow powder poured out, making people's vision blurred, and just as I turned down sideways to look at the warship on my side, I saw the legendary Sakura human flesh fire dragon bullet.
It was a huge dragon like a fire dragon out of the water, but it sawed both ends from the middle, and it was driven by a man, and used a giant water catapult to withdraw from the speeding suicide dragon projectile. At this moment, several other human dragon bullets on the water have been shot by the crossbowmen on the Beiming warship with repeater crossbows, and the owner of this fire dragon bullet actually passed through the layers of defense, swept in front of my eyes, I hurriedly took the fire gun to shoot, but it was too late, the fire dragon bullet crossed the warship we were on in a strange trajectory, and rushed straight to the warship that Prince Li came to greet on the opposite side.
Worst! Almost at the same time as I shouted in my heart, the violent explosion caused by the human fire dragon bullet had already caused a raging fire on the bridge and deck of the flagship of the Xinming ship, "Sheng Zheng, call someone to call the signal, let's hurry up and go to the Prince Li's ship to see the fire" I shouted to Sheng Zheng. Sheng Zheng listened to the order in a hurry, after playing the flag, I immediately threw out an iron chain, and threw the sea magnet swirling like flower petals to the opposite side, and the opposite side also gave a signal, Sheng Zheng and I slid along the iron chain through three layers of thick armor to avoid arrows to the opposite side of the burning Xinming boat, to that side, there were already soldiers running, looking sideways only felt a little familiar, but did not have time to think about where I had seen, probably in the Prince Jing's tent from the army, Sheng Zheng and I helped the gangway and the barricade to the port side of the Xinming ship that was burning with fire, Immediately after that, he was knocked down by waves of exploding air, "Damn, it must have been the Sakura Human Flesh Fire Dragon Bullet that hit the ammunition depot, find the prince first and transfer the prince out." I looked at Sheng Zheng opposite each other, got up again, and then there was another explosion, Sheng Zheng said to me, "No, look at this, no one is going to deal with the ignited ammunition depot now, and if it continues to blow up, the entire Xinming ship will be scrapped, I will command the fire extinguishing, you go to find the prince" After speaking, without waiting for my words, he turned around and called a few maintenance sailors to run towards the staircase leading to the lower floor.
I also hurriedly got up, grabbed the iron handrail on the side of the boat on the outside of the upper deck and struggled forward, boring guns, catapults, the sound of artillery fire, smoke, oil, and scorching waves of explosion threw the mutilated bodies of the sailors and the fragments of the ship into the sea, and the sea that had been calm and peaceful just now suddenly boiled into a sea of blood. A soldier with fireworks in his body desperately jumped into the sea, and was immediately swept into the boiling vortex and burned and screamed in horror until the burned body floated and sank in the sea, and the scene was tragic and poignant. I settled down, and carefully recalled the scene when our two warships exchanged news and Prince Li came out to greet him before the incident, and confirmed the cabin where Prince Li should be in recently, and then I ran over, the cabin door was not closed, Prince Li sat on the side of a wall, and the two medical officers next to him were bandaging and cleaning his wounds, his armor was full of blood, and his lieutenant Chu Caishuang was on the side, his eyes were red and about to spurt blood. I hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and Prince Li opened his eyes, looked at me, and then looked around him, as if he recognized me, and in a weak and indistinct voice ordered me, "Don't...... Abandon...... Xinming ship, onboard...... Three thousand soldiers, the oarsmen below... Gunner...... Craftsman... Soldiers... It's all the best, go put out the fire and assist Feng Wenqing...... The general fends against the enemy... Unsuccessful... Ambassadors ...... Heroes"
His face was pale, and blood continued to seep out of his mouth and nose between his words, and Chu Caishuang next to him was already in tears. I hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, you are injured, we will carry you to the Xinming ship next to us to rest, those few Luo Wei warships that attacked us while we were unprepared have been surrounded by sailors and warships, soon, soon, soon, hold on, Wangye." As he spoke, Chu Caishuang had already put Prince Li on his back, and looked at me with a look of inquiry and pleading, as if waiting for me to tell him how to transfer the prince and where he could be transferred, "Do you know how to communicate with the Xinming ship you led next to you?" "I saw that since he was the commander's lieutenant, he usually took care of a warship, so I asked him.
"I know, but I just came to see Prince Huli, and the warship over there has been transferred by General Feng to turn the rudder to attack the enemy warship," not necessarily a word, a thick smoke covered in a fire blanket formed a huge cloud of smoke on the opposite wall, and the sound of cannons and shots on the deck was whistling and firing, and in another round of explosions, the Xinming ship had almost lost its speed, and after the explosion, the tragic screams and strange screams diffused the breath of death and flew in all directions. The walls of an entire bulkhead suddenly collapsed into smoke and dust.
"Lie down!" A medic in the back shouted, and when we instinctively lay down and got up again, one of the medic officers had been nailed straight to the remaining bulkhead behind him by a stray arrow from a fire crossbow bow, and the crack in his abdomen was suddenly full of blood, and his intestines gushed out, and with his expression distorted by the severe pain and his eyes that had finally grown, I saw the vanguard of the Luo Wei warriors who had climbed onto the new ship. The firearm in my hand was already too late to be loaded, I hurriedly pulled out the full moon scimitar, and said to Chu Caishuang, "You contact the flagship ship that General Qin Qiong came to help, and transfer the prince to shore for medical treatment first, the prince is seriously injured, this matter cannot be relieved, here is me, Sheng Zheng has already gone to deal with the fire extinguishing and the tilting of the ship, believe us, we will not give up the Xinming ship easily." "After speaking, I didn't look at him, I just waved the full moon scimitar in my hand and stabbed into the chest of the Luo Wei warrior who came to me, the knife cut off the head, the knife fell and cut off the arm, and the heavy armor on my body was still playing a role in being torn apart by the continuous chopping, and I was already numb at the moment, I didn't realize it, I just thought about finishing this swarm of Luo Wei warriors, and the soldiers next to me also picked up the spear wolf sword, lined up in formation, and began to fight with the Luo Wei warriors who came forward on the Xinming ship." General Fu," shouted the Beiming sailors running behind him, "General Sheng said that he plans to open and close the water silos on both sides to flood the ammunition depot, and he needs manpower, so please fight quickly." At the same time, the hull of the flagship of the ship was tilting, the starboard side was upturned, and everything that could move capsized to the port side. The artillery fire on the sea roared and roared among the ships on both sides and opposites.
I slashed and killed the warriors without looking back, "Okay." He looked at Chu Shuangcai on the other side and Prince Li, who was dying behind him, and shouted to the helmsman, "I am General Fu Yannian, the helmsman of the flagship of the Xinming ship listens to the order, and the port side is ready, we have to connect with the flagship ship that came to connect with the ship, and the prince is injured." Full rudder on the left, rudder on the left - Keep the starboard side of the boat windward as much as possible to attenuate the fire. "Hearing the sound of the helmsman over there, and seeing that the Xinming ship was still operating according to the order, my heart was slightly relieved, but I was unexpectedly slashed twice, and when I was about to be slashed, I saw that the Luo Wei who took the lead in the charge and boarded the ship fell straight down, and Chu Shuangcai, who had already traveled a long distance, held the Prince Li on his back with one hand, and shot with a fire gun in the other, "Good accuracy" I said to him, and said, organize the battle formation again to involve the Luo Wei warriors who boarded the warship into the battle formation and kill them all.
"The second cabin of the sealing cabin has been successfully filled with water, the third cabin is ready, the starboard cabin is filled with water, the starboard cabin is filled with water, and the horizontal tilt is corrected," Sheng Zheng's herald sent Sheng Zheng's password, and the action of waving the flag to connect the ambulance ceremony to the prince has been gradually completed, seeing that the prince was transferred to the warship that we came to help, and seeing that the Xinming ship was still tilting, I hurriedly shouted, "All the combat readiness personnel went to the right side of the warship to prepare for war, dragged all the heavy objects at hand to the right chord and pressed, insist" After saying that, I dragged the final ironclad box next to me to the right side and tied it with a rope, and beckoned to the soldiers on the side, and after a while, seven or eight hundred people swarmed to the starboard side, each of them also dragged and dragged all kinds of heavy objects in their hands, and the catapult that was damaged by the bullet was tied to the starboard iron fence and a place that could be used for fixation, "The four cabins are ready to be filled with water, the starboard compartment is filled with water, and the roll is being corrected, and the roll is being corrected." ”
The fire on the deck was gradually extinguished, all the smoking items were thrown into the sea, the iron armor and steel plates that had just been majestic were torn, and in an instant there were hideous mouths, and there were broken cabins and broken turrets everywhere, and I ran down the staircase to Sheng Zheng's side. The fire on the lower two floors was still burning, and thick smoke gushed out from the cracked armor, but in the dull blasting and vibration, I saw that the Xinming ship gradually regained its balance, and several Luo Wei sneak attack warships that were surrounded on the sea gradually lost their last firepower, and the Xinming ship of General Feng next to it had already commanded several other warships to strafe, and the rescue warship led by Qin Qiong had sailed towards Yingzhai Harbor at full speed to treat the seriously injured Commander Prince Li as soon as possible.
"The roll has been corrected, the roll has been corrected. How's the fire extinguishing? Sheng Zheng's face was scorched black by the artillery fire, and his hands were also covered with blood, and a soldier next to him replied to him, "General Sheng, the fire has been extinguished, and the watertight cabin has been sealed in the first three cabins, all of which are submerged", and then, seeing Sheng Zheng shouting at the top of his voice, "Everyone, go to the ammunition depot to line up and pass it, and throw out all the ammunition and flammable materials in the last two cabins to avoid another explosion and fire." "At this moment, there are no generals and soldiers, no scout battalion or sailor battalion, oarsmen or gunners, everyone is actively working hard to rush to this only remaining road of self-seeking, on the corridor, on the bridge, on the deck, next to the staircase, next to the handrail, everyone lined up from the Hou Liangcang ammunition depot to the deck, and the shells were passed out in a row and thrown into the sea." If it can't be moved, dismantle the ignition cable chain and throw it away. Sheng Zheng said again.
I also stood beside him in a line, following the delivery of the thrown ammunition, "What's wrong with your hand?" I asked Sheng Zheng as I delivered.
Sheng Zheng lowered his head and looked at his hands, and smiled slightly, this smile, his face blackened by the artillery fire lined out two rows of white and lovely teeth, only to hear him say, "I don't know, it seems that I just wanted to dismantle the chain fuse over there," suddenly there was a hint of horror in his tone, "Why is there a hole in your waist," he said, hurriedly went around behind me to look, and then his voice slowed down, "It's okay, it's not deep, it seems to be scratched, and the bleeding hasn't stopped yet, wait until you get to the port and arrive at the sailor camp to deal with it." ”
After all the artillery was discarded, the seriously injured Xinming ship flagship raised the flag, and followed General Feng's Xinming fleet to slowly sail into the inner harbor, where the four Luo Wei warships that came to sneak attack had already ignited a fire, and three of them had already tilted and sunk to the deck, I thought about it again and again, Fang He Sheng Zheng pondered, "These Luo Wei warships that came to sneak attack, could it be that they are here to take the opportunity to attack the ship of our army commander?" But how did they know we were here today? ”
Sheng Zheng gritted his teeth, his bleeding hands seemed to be about to be clenched, but he let go of the pain again, and said hatefully, "I don't know, if there is a spy among our people, we will definitely cut him with a thousand knives, so that we can be worthy of the loss of so many lives today." As he spoke, he looked at the sea full of corpses, then looked at me again, frowned and sighed, "How is Prince Li's injury?" ”
I looked at the Carefree Harbor in front of me, the rising sun, and the sea of hellfire behind me, as if I were on the boundary between two worlds. sighed and replied, "I don't know, it's just that I looked very seriously injured at the time, I am not a medical officer, I dare not say anything, I hope that God will protect the prince." ”
At this time, I didn't know that "dying before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears," became Prince Li's last words, and they became a prophecy. I don't even know that this year, what Beiming is going to lose is not only this prince? If there is really a saying of the Mandate of Heaven in the Yellow Calendar, then the nineteenth year of Beiming Jianwu may be the year of Beiming Junjie?
Sanssouci Harbor is oval-shaped, shaped like a lotus leaf first dewing on the surface of the water, according to the sky to do a clear and clear and peaceful like a huge, dusty mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, such as a piece of magnificent jasper inlaid on the edge of the majestic and magnificent volcanic peaks, silently wandering to the sea. In October, the island is still full of flowers, the green trees are reluctant, day and night, regardless of the four seasons, and the peach groves that extend along the shore of Sanssouci Harbor, the pink peach petals bloom like smoke and mist, and they are as gorgeous as a sea of clouds and a brocade carpet. The sea breeze sends the fragrance of flowers to the distant places, and the air is as sweet and soft as honey. If there is no war, there is no gunsmoke, what a beautiful place, but now, it will eventually be burned to the flames, and the heroic soul will die, how sad and sad.
