Chapter 790: Generous Gifts
At this time, the division chief and other officials also came over in a panic, they were not stupid, even if they didn't understand what was going on before, but at this moment, they already knew the general situation of the matter.
Everyone understands that the ships burning in the flames at this time are all the ships of the government, and those heart-rending screams are the voices of the Governor's Praetorian Guard.
Compared with the state army, the Praetorian Guard is much stronger in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, the armor of the Praetorian Guard is double-layered, and the sabers are also exquisite steel knives, extremely sharp, and the strength of the siege of Yusuo Lake exceeds 10,000 people, and there are more than 3,000 elite Praetorian Guards, and these 3,000 elite Praetorian Guards, plus 2,000 state troops, are heavily deployed in the east of Yusuo Lake.
This night attack on Yusuo Lake, almost all the 3,000 Praetorian Guards were dispatched.
The Praetorian Guard is the pro-guard army of Governor Yuan Chongshang, which belongs to his descendant troops, and the first contribution to the extermination of the Huang family's chaotic party, Yuan Chongshang naturally handed it over to the Praetorian Guard.
The Praetorian Guards captured Yusuo Lake, Yuan Chongshang naturally had a great light on his face, and that was really his victory, not to mention that the Praetorian Guards had not had many opportunities to conduct actual combat training, and this time there was such an opportunity to make meritorious contributions and train soldiers, of course Yuan Chongshang would not let it go.
At this time, the shore was crowded with people, and the screams of the lake were endless, and Yuan Chongshang was pulled by Chu Huan, looking at the lake from afar, his eyes were shattered.
"Order a retreat!" Yuan Chongshang is not a mediocre person after all, and after being angry, he suddenly shouted, "Summons the order to collect the troops, quickly, Mingjin ......!" ”
Yusuo Lake belongs to the war zone, there is no shortage of war drums and Jin Di, after Yuan Chongshang gave the order, someone immediately knocked Jin Di violently, but the fleet of the lake is already chaotic, the officers and soldiers on the boat, there are not many good water, besieged by fire in the lake, one by one has panicked, the officers and soldiers are in a mess, many ships are in a panic, and even collide with each other, the people on the shore can roughly see the scene, but the officers and soldiers who are deeply trapped in it only see that there are raging fires all around, and they can't even figure out the direction, Finally, I heard the sound of gold ticking from the shore, but for a moment I couldn't organize an effective retreat.
Fang Shihao's face turned pale.
He held a sword in his hand, and he could still go to the island with lights in the distance, but his subordinates were already in chaos, and the officers and soldiers no longer cared about how deep the Yusuo Lake was, let alone whether they could water, they jumped down from both sides of the ship, and most of the ships were already burning, and the fire spread very quickly by the wind, and many soldiers were also engulfed in the flames.
"Turn the bow of the ship." Fang Shihao shouted loudly with all his might, "Don't mess up, go back, don't jump ship......!" He knew in his heart that there was a long distance from the shore, and that on such a winter night, the water of the lake was cold to the bone, and many of the soldiers were still wearing heavy armor, and they jumped boats into the lake, and there was no doubt that they would commit suicide, if not to be burned, but to drown and freeze to death.
Suddenly hearing the sound of war drums, Fang Shihao was surprised, and soon saw that the firelight was lit up, and the semi-arc firelight had appeared behind him, and he had already seen clearly that those firelights were lit up from the ship, but it was not the ships of the officers and soldiers, and the firelight could clearly see the "yellow" flag fluttering on those ships, and the Huang family's fleet had gone around the rear of the fleet like a ghost, and had cut off the retreat of the officers and soldiers.
Fang Shihao's heart sank.
He thought that tonight would be a beautiful sneak attack, but in the end, he realized that Yuan Chong's painstaking calculation and seemingly extremely ingenious sneak attack plan ended up burying thousands of officers and soldiers.
Chu Huan's face was unusually solemn.
The Huang family's fleet suddenly raised its torches, making this ghost-like fleet suddenly show its true deeds, and dozens of ships of the Huang family's size surrounded the official ship in a semi-arc.
The sound of Jin Di was incessant, but at this time, the sound of Jin Di could no longer play any role, and the officers and soldiers wanted to retreat, but they could not retreat.
What is even more terrifying is that Yusuo Lake is surrounded by officers and soldiers, and everyone is watching dozens of official ships trapped in the fire circle, but they are powerless to rescue them.
Almost all the ships that could be launched had already participated in the planned surprise attack tonight, and the thousands of officers and soldiers on the shore could only watch their comrades in the lake fend for themselves.
Countless officers and soldiers died in the fire, more people jumped into the lake, the heavy armor made them unable to swim at all, the cold and biting water of the lake made them quickly lose consciousness, a little familiar with the water-based will stoic, following the direction from Jin Di, there was no head and no brains to swim there desperately, but breaking through the fire, it was the Huang family fleet that was blocked in front.
The bow and sides of the Huang family's fleet were full of archers, and the torches were held high, illuminating the lake as bright as day, and the officers and soldiers but those who broke through the fire outcropped would immediately shoot without hesitation, often an officer and soldier just emerged from the water, and four or five feathered arrows were shot instantly.
Fire, try their best to break through the fire rushed out of the ship, the officers and soldiers on the ship have not come to their senses, the Huang family's ship has been very quickly from the two wings of the encirclement, arrows rained down, those frightened officers and soldiers quickly shot to kill, and then quickly approached the reward deck, jumped on the official ship to fight, although the Huang family's individual combat effectiveness is not as good as the officers and soldiers, but in the rickety ship, it is to wait for work, fighting, the officers and soldiers are not opponents at all, not long after, several ships rushed out of the fire, It was captured by the Huang family's troops with a quick and decisive attack.
The Huang family seemed to be farmers waiting for their prey, and their prey came up one after another, and then fell into their hands one after another.
There was no shortage of courageous men among the officers and soldiers, but under the planned organization and attack of the Huang family, they could not fight against them on the lake.
Those slightly smaller ships, the Huang family didn't even use their hands to fight, they had two extremely large warships, the bow of the warship, had already been equipped with an ironclad bow, but whenever they saw a small official ship, the warship immediately rushed forward, with the hard ironclad bow, it was smashed and sunk alive, without the slightest mercy of his subordinates.
Blood and fire are intertwined, screams and death spread rapidly.
Above the lake, dead corpses floated horizontally, and the wreckage of the ship that had been hit and shattered bones was also floating and scattered on the surface of the lake, and a long-planned surprise attack had turned into a one-sided slaughter at this time.
Yuan Chongshang's body was shaky, he didn't seem to expect such a result, even if he was an iron-like body, at this time, he finally sat on the shore of the lake, his eyes were dull, the officials around him were colorless, no one knew what to say, and even at this moment, no one knew what to do, everyone could only look at the officers and soldiers trapped in the lake from afar, watching them die one after another, watching the ships become the trophies of the Huang family one after another or sink to the bottom of the lake.
Everything in front of you is like hell on earth.
But for the Huang family, this is undoubtedly a heavenly sight.
Huang Tianyi was on the platform of a warship at this time, this battleship not only has strong combat effectiveness, but also wears a beautiful decoration, on the highest platform between the ships, Huang Tianyi is wearing a mink coat, around the furry fox scarf, wearing a wolf skin hat on his head, calm and relaxed, holding a purple clay pot in his hand, and the tea in the lake is hot.
Huang Zhigui stood beside Huang Tianyi, looking at the hellish scene in front of him, and both of them had smug smiles on their faces.
Huang Tianyi is now the head of the Huang family, he is the eldest son of Huang Ju, the Duke of Anguo, with an obese body, fat head and big ears, which is very different from Huang Zhigui's shrewd and capable appearance.
In fact, although the current head of the Huang family is Huang Tianyi, the military advisor beside him is Huang Zhigui.
The night breeze was blowing, the wind carried the smell of blood, Huang Tianyi straightened his nose and sniffed, and sighed leisurely: "This smell is really unforgettable, such a fascinating taste was already a few years ago." ”
"What do you mean, big brother?"
Huang Tianyi smiled at Huang Zhigui, "That barbarian woman, the white-skinned one, the one with a big buttocks, do you remember?" ”
Huang Zhigui thought about it for a while before he smiled: "I remember." ”
"The smell on that woman is also very good." Huang Tianyi sighed: "I was attracted by her taste for more than half a year...... Today's taste reminds me of her again. ”
"The eldest brother later sent her to our building and earned a lot of silver." Huang Zhigui sighed: "It's just that I got sick later, and I died, and now I think about it, it's really a pity." ”
"yes." Huang Tianyi said with a hint of regret: "I still smell her smell for more than half a year, but today's tempting smell is afraid that it will dissipate in a few days...... Zhigui, do you think our Governor likes this kind of taste? He was from a military background, so he should be familiar with such a bloody smell. ”
"The Doge wants to smell our blood." Huang Zhigui shook his head and said, "It's a pity that we disappointed him." ”
"But he didn't disappoint us." Huang Tianyi gently shook the purple clay pot in his hand, slowly got up, turned to the east, and looked at the dark crowd on the shore in the distance, "He is a military general, when did he learn to play these conspiracies?" His master can play this hand, but he is still not qualified...... Zhigui, I really want to see his expression now. ”
Huang Zhigui obviously had great respect for Huang Tianyi, and bowed slightly, "I'm afraid that what he wants to kill most at this time is the eldest brother." ”
"yes!" Huang Tianyi sighed: "Thousands of people are lost here, I think he must be very sad, this news will soon spread all over the world, and this governor may never have the face to see people again." Wei Yi groaned, and the corners of his mouth flashed a strange smile, "Zhigui, the faint monarch is moody, you said that if the faint monarch knew that the love of his subordinates would be defeated like this, would he ask for the head of our governor with a knife?" ”
Huang Zhigui smiled: "Actually, I'm wondering, does the Governor still have the courage to live?" Perhaps before the will of the faint king arrived, our governor cut off his own head first. ”
"Interesting, interesting." Huang Tianyi laughed, turned around, and looked at the messy fleet of officers and soldiers again, "Zhigui, let everyone be sharp, you know that my heart has always been very good, let them be at peace as soon as possible, if this continues, it will only increase their pain, I ...... I really can't bear it! ”
"Big brother bodhisattva heart." Huang Zhigui said: "Don't worry, since they are here, they will naturally wipe out their entire army, otherwise...... We're so sorry for the Governor's gift! ”
