Tao Qi stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the fireship that was getting closer and closer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He is just an ordinary commander of the Yizhou Naval Division, and the only thing he can command is the four A-shaped warships left around him. But today, standing here, countless enemies are coming, and Tao Qi realized that although he is only a small commander, it is not useless.

In this battle, it is true that the sailor was defeated, but it was not so completely defeated!

"The No. 1 warship went out and shelled at the gunboat!" Tao Qi pressed his hand on the railing, his hair danced against the wind, and shouted loudly.

The soldiers who heard the order behind him did not hesitate at all, and the warship flying the pottery flag crossed an arc on the sea, blocking the other three warships. The soldiers on the deck desperately pushed the thunderbolts and bed crossbows at the approaching fireship.

"Flag the other three ships and let them retreat!" Tao Qi ordered loudly as he ran to the nearest trebuchet.

"Commander!" The herald beside him hesitated.

Tao Qi's eyes were already red, not only him, but the soldiers on the entire warship were all ordinary green tendons exposed, and there was a murderous aura in their eyes!

Without further ado, the herald ran straight to the ship.

Several A-shaped warships are unknown, but when the warship flying Tao Qi's flag slowly crossed, Dutou and Yu Hou, who were in charge of the command on board, understood. Everyone subconsciously gritted their teeth tightly, and commanded that this was to use one boat to save the other three boats!

Otherwise, once those fireships rush over, the entire fleet of A-shaped ships will not be able to escape.

"Commander!" I don't know who shouted hoarsely, and countless soldiers on the three warships poked their heads out of the arrows, their eyes full of burning anger and rolling tears.

Men don't flick when they have tears, but it's not time to be sad!

Usually Tao Qi always has a black face, the No. A fleet is always stricter than others during training, it is impossible to say that the soldiers have no complaints about this black-faced middle-aged boss in their hearts, but because Bai Nutao, Zhang Gui and others have no objections to this, so no matter how many complaints the soldiers have, they can only hold back in their stomachs, and they can only complain when there is no one.

However, it was not until the last time they received the warship, when they saw the brand-new warship that was the first to be sent to their home, that the officers and men of the No. A fleet knew that the hard training on weekdays was not useless at all, but at least brought them glory. And it wasn't until today, at this moment, that the soldiers in front of them looked tearfully on the warships, and they understood what Tao Qi had brought them.

It's not just the sweat and condensed scars that come down after hard training, nor the glory and pride when you are the first to receive a new ship, but the unyielding battle and fearless forward in the face of enemies stronger than yourself!

The sound of the cannon gradually subsided, and the soldiers on the No. 1 warship subconsciously looked at Tao Qi.

Standing on the ship's floor, the smoke of gunpowder billowed out, the clothes and armor slammed each other, making a heart-shaking sound, Tao Qi clenched his sword, and said loudly: "Brothers, usually a certain Tao Qi has a lot of places that can't accommodate you, and today a certain has brought you into a dead end, and now I want to let the A fleet, let the rest of the soldiers on the ship who get along with us day and night escape, and put this ship at the mouth of the strait, is the only way that a certain can think of, so a certain did not consult your opinions, and made such a decision, which is wrong." ”

The soldiers on the warship slowly lowered their blades and looked at Tao Qi.

"Now the three warships have not yet ordered to retreat, any of you who want to escape, you can jump ship and swim over, this is less than a tea kung fu from the soldiers of my A fleet can swim to this point, this is a certain conviction, after a tea kung fu, a certain will order all the warships to retreat." Tao Qi's voice was still loud.

"Commander, what about you, don't you come with us?!" A head looked at Tao Qi, who was standing alone on the ship's floor, with trembling hands.

Closing his eyes and sighing for a long time, Tao Qi said in a deep voice: "I have never been defeated in the battle of the Ming Navy, and I have never been defeated. ”

"Commander, if you die here, who will take us to avenge in the future." Several of them ran up the stairs as fast as they could.

And Tao Qi just set his eyes on the fireboat that was getting closer and closer: "Let's go, let's go!" ”

"Let's go—"

Seeing that no one on the boat reacted, Tao Qi almost yelled at the heads on the stairs: "Fuck me out!" Get out of here! Go to General Bai, go to His Royal Highness King Ming, and let them take you with you, kill them again, and kill here! Avenge all the soldiers who died in battle today, and avenge a certain one! ”

One after another, iron-clad men fell to their knees on the deck, tears in their eyes.

And the boat on the side of the warship has been put down, Tao Qi pointed at the heads whose bodies were trembling with a sword in his hand: "You two and two, go, go now, don't let a certain Tao Qi wait for you in this sea for too long, Lao Tzu still wants to watch you kill and come back to take revenge, go!" ”

"Ahh A capital head Huo Ran kowtowed heavily to Tao Qi, and then jumped into the water from the boat. The soldiers on the deck all followed his example, and at this moment, they didn't have too many worries, they just wanted to express their high respect to a general who was about to die in battle.

Leaning weakly on the railing, Tao Qi watched a soldier who got along with him jump into the water, and the wounded were properly moved to the boat. The wounded general, holding his sword, finally showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Tao Qi is incompetent, although there is no way to lead you to victory, but he must let you go back alive.

A fireship crashed into the warship, and the flames were engulfing the hull. Because the mouth of the strait is really narrow, the fireships that follow behind can only follow and crash into this warship one after another, although before launching, the surface of the warship will be painted with fireproof paint, but these hundreds of fireships have crashed into one after another, which is enough to turn the entire forward fleet into ashes, let alone a warship.

The flames rose, with a scorching breath, Tao Qi couldn't help but exhale softly, looking at the tongue of fire that gradually burned up the ship.

"Commander." A wounded soldier approached leaning on a railing.

"Why didn't you leave, they left you behind?!" Tao Qi looked over in surprise, and there was already anger in his tone.

The wounded soldier pointed to his broken left leg: "With such a serious injury, even if you escape, there is no way to rush into battle, it is better to leave a place for the people behind, so that they can come to avenge their subordinates later." What's more, there must be someone to accompany the commander of a boat, otherwise the commander is here waiting for the brothers to kill and return for revenge, wouldn't it be lonely. ”

"It's a man." Tao Qi couldn't help but nodded, "What I don't lack is a hot-blooded son, these barbarians will taste the price after all." ”

The flames were getting closer, and the whole ship shook once more, and began to sink.

"Can you sing the military songs of the Ming Dynasty?" Tao Qi suddenly remembered something.

The wounded soldier nodded, and the two men looked at each other, their deep voices already ringing in the flames and wind.

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north,

The dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost,

The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, who can resist in 20 years! ”

The song gradually dissipated with the wind, and the huge warship, like a lighted torch, only the two flags on the mast still fluttered proudly in the wind.

The red dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty and the general flag of Tao Qi.

"The Yizhou Naval Division's forward fleet A team commanded Tao Qi, who died with the ship, and won a glimmer of life for the rest of the warships to retreat." Liang Yanwu's hand holding the chapter trembled a little, and read it slowly, and Zhang Gui and Wang Da in the lobby broke out in a cold sweat behind their backs, and they bowed their heads deeply and didn't dare to look at Ye Yingwu, "The forward fleet is in command to make Bai Nutao lead the remaining eighteen warships to break through, and after losing more than half of them, they finally got out of the way and got rid of the pursuit of the Bo mud fleet. In the battle, 2,000 soldiers, more than half of them were killed in the battle, more were wounded, and the forward fleet was no longer able to fight. ”

Ever since Liang Yanwu began to recite the chapter, Ye Yingwu's face was gloomy and he didn't say anything, his eyes swept over Zhang Gui and Wang Da. When Liang Yanwu respectfully presented the chapter to Ye Yingwu, Ye Yingwu said lightly: "Send twenty warships to explore the way, and you still want to take down the entire Bo mud, is it possible that you two are overjoyed after fighting with the Zhenla Water Master?" ”

Zhang Gui and Wang Da both knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, the minister is guilty!" ”

"Guilty, well, guilty!" Ye Yingwu's hands trembled a little, he picked it up and glanced at it, and then threw it to the ground, "What a confession!" What I want is for you to come back and confess your sins when you have suffered defeat? Is this still useful, huh? Two thousand soldiers, more than half of them died in battle, what do you mean?!

Thousands of people died in battle, just because of a group of Nanban monkeys that you can't look down on, thinking that they can be defeated casually, they are not even afraid of Mongolian Tatars, and they fought bloodily for the Ming Dynasty, but in the end, because of your negligence, because of your arrogance, they died in the hands of a group of despicable monkeys! ”

Not to mention Zhang Gui and Wang Da, even Liang Yanwu has been following Ye Yingwu for half a year, and he hasn't seen Ye Yingwu so angry, and the three guys Xiao Yangzi, Wu Chucai and Jiang Tie, who are standing outside the lobby, don't even dare to probe their brains, they just glance at each other.

Jiang Tie nodded, and ran towards the back house quickly, His Royal Highness is usually calm, and at most he was a little enthusiastic when he went to the battlefield, but when he was so angry like today, not to mention that it was rare, the few guards present had never seen it once. So the best way is to let a few housewives in the back house persuade it, it's better than these big men pleading.

Ye Yingwu slapped the table fiercely: "Zhang Gui, Wang Da, I transferred Changxi back at the beginning, and let the two of you take full charge of the Yizhou Water Division, as a result, look at the two of you, you will inflate yourself when you win a battle, and you think you are invincible in the world, right?" Think these Nanban are easy to deal with, don't you? Immature! Who are you winning, it's Zhenla, it's the uncivilized monkey, you have won, what is there to be proud of, huh? Is it because of this that you have the audacity to send twenty ships to conquer a country? What do you think the Yizhou Navy Division does, is it Ban Dingyuan or Han Zhongjun?! ”

"The crimes of the ministers deserve death, and please ask Your Highness to surrender the crimes." Zhang Gui and Wang Da both said in low voices.

Waving his hand, Ye Yingwu said coldly: "The two of you, one of you will go and get the twenty boards, and then give me a good thought, let's get out." ”

"Twenty boards?" Wang Da was stunned, and Zhang Gui beside him grabbed him.

Liang Yanwu on the side showed a hint of a smile, although the twenty boards hurt for these rough-skinned generals, but at most it was a matter of being in bed for a day or two, it was nothing at all, His Highness did not really demote or directly dismiss these two guys, which shows that His Highness still trusts them in his heart, and is still expecting them to atone for his crimes.

Suddenly understood, Wang Da looked at Ye Yingwu gratefully, and the two of them arched their hands at the same time: "The ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths, thank Your Highness for not killing you." ”

When Zhang Gui and Wang Da retreated, Ye Yingwu said hatefully: "I didn't expect me to be soft on these two guys. ”

Liang Yanwu said with a smile at the moment: "Your Highness is merciful, and naturally you can't bear to see the two capable generals who have just won a big victory really wronged. ”

Ye Yingwu waved his sleeves: "Tell the two of them that I will lead the Yizhou sailors to the sea the day after tomorrow, and I will meet this Bo Ni and Yan Po for a while, but I want to see where it is sacred!" ”

All the staff members were taken aback, what is the difference between His Royal Highness coming to the battlefield in person and the royal driving in person? Is this His Royal Highness expressing his resentment in his heart, or does he want to explain his dissatisfaction with Wang Da and Zhang Gui? But if you say that you are dissatisfied with the two of them, why is this time only one person rewarded twenty military sticks, and he has no intention of condemning the crime?

Liang Yanwu smiled bitterly and shook his head, this time His Highness was afraid that he would be confused.

"Mr. Yixuan, don't we persuade Your Highness, Your Highness will personally drive for a group of Nanyang barbarian monkeys, don't say what the princesses of the harem say, don't the prime ministers in the court want to dismantle us one by one." A young staff member suddenly said with a bitter face,

Maybe it's because he's been with Ye Yingwu for a long time, Liang Yanwu also learned to shrug helplessly: "Those of us who are staff members, we speak when we should speak, and we can't speak when we shouldn't, when the prime ministers are not stupid, they will naturally understand this truth." ”

Seeing that several young staff members seemed to understand whether they understood or not, Liang Yanwu then said in a deep voice:

"You have to remember that His Royal Highness is the founding monarch of the Ming Dynasty, and the founding monarch has always fought the world immediately, just to maintain even a little bit of masculinity and martial spirit in the new dynasty, if His Royal Highness does not have the courage to go into battle to kill the enemy, then even if the Ming Dynasty is a grass creation, it is not far from destruction."

"Mr. Yixuan, you mean ······?" The eyes of several staff members suddenly flashed.

Liang Yanwu clenched his fists: "This Nanyang, it can't be delayed for too long, His Royal Highness came forward to let the Nanyang countries know what kind of existence they provoked, and what kind of heavy price they have to pay for this." ”

————————————————————————

"Husband, the coconut water that has just been poured out is fresh, taste it." Zhao Yunshu carefully put a glass of coconut water on the table beside Ye Yingwu, then gently turned to his back, hesitated for a moment, and his hand fell on Ye Yingwu's shoulder and kneaded it a little rusty.

Ye Yingwu leaned back in the chair, exhaled a long breath, as if expelling all the turbidity accumulated in his chest, and said lightly: "Is it Xiaoyangzi that a few of them have reported to you." ”

Slightly startled, Zhao Yunshu hurriedly glanced away: "Why did the husband say this, didn't ······ Absolutely not, husband, you ······"

As soon as he grabbed Zhao Yunshu's hand, Ye Yingwu shook his head: "Silly girl, you can't even lie, you usually don't talk about helping someone rub your shoulders, even pouring a cup of tea is difficult, today is so proactive, there must be demons when things go wrong, so nine times out of ten it is those ghosts who send you news." ”

Zhao Yunshu was silent, originally thought that it was seamless, but who knew that Ye Yingwu would be able to see through it at a glance. But what he said is not wrong, on weekdays, he helps his husband at most to help him sort out the music on the table, this is still to be able to find two books on the bookshelf in the study at the same time, not to mention anything to serve tea and pour water.

On the contrary, it is Ye Yingwu who is attentive every time, and the relationship between the two does not look like a king and his concubine, but like a princess and a concubine.

"What do you think?" Ye Yingwu looked at the silent girl with some surprise.

"No, nothing." Zhao Yunshu smiled reluctantly.

"Okay, don't think about it, it's okay, don't always listen to those guys make a fuss on weekdays." Ye Yingwu held Zhao Yunshu's hand, "A certain person is not a child, this little thing can still be controlled, and it will not scare you." ”

Holding a cup full of coconut water and handing it to Ye Yingwu, Zhao Yunshu said softly: "Husband, why are you thinking so much about your concubine?" Obviously ······"

Ye Yingwu laughed, this girl really still has something on her mind, and reached out to hug Zhao Yunshu at the moment: "In this world, how can it be so easy to find a few people you love, but a few of your sisters are among them, if you don't think about you, who are you worried about, is it possible that Shu'er thinks that a certain back house is not big enough?" Where are you going to recommend? ”

"You······ You think beautifully! Zhao Yunshu looked at Ye Yingwu indignantly.

Ye Yingwu didn't laugh, just shook his head, took a sip of coconut water, picked up the cinnabar pen, and neatly wrote a line of annotations on the piece.

"Tao Qi responded to the future, with the marquis, into the general, into the Zhongshan Martyrs' Shrine, and the court to support the descendants." (To be continued.) )
