Chapter 223: Hand-to-hand combat
As soon as he saw that the enemy ships were attacking back, the vigilant boat in front hurriedly avoided to the side, and the three medium-wing ships of the second revenge slowed down and prepared for engagement. The four winged boats were only nine feet long, each with ten men, and all but two oarsmen were adept at crossbows, hooked spears, and axes, and there were shields on the sides of the ships to avoid enemy arrows and shoot arrows from the gaps.
At this time, it has entered the Wucheng River, the river is narrow and shallow, and the building boats of the middle wing, the big wing and even Qingji are inconvenient to move, but this kind of small wing boat is very flexible, and the boat of revenge has just shot a round of arrow rain, and the opponent's small wing boat has gone around to the blind spot of the corner of the ship, and is approaching the warship.
"Engage!" Holding the halberd in hand, ready to jump the gang to fight, the opponent's small wing warship approached, and the second round of arrow rain mostly shot on the opponent's shield, at this time the bow and arrow had lost its effectiveness, the soldiers on the middle wing held the halberd and stabbed the small wing boat below, and the people below stood up, some made the hooked spear counterattack, and some picked up the big axe to destroy the middle wing warship.
"Ignore the fighting boats, chase them, and don't let the husband escape ashore!" Qing Ji gave a loud order, and under the escort of the two large wing ships, he left several of the warships in the struggle, and approached the husband's ship in radial.
The husband took a large wing boat, with a total of 34 warriors holding crossbows, hooked spears, and large axes, 50 sailors, 3 helmsmen of the ship, and 1 commander at all levels, such as officials, servants, archers, and chiefs, and a total of 91 people on a large wing boat, which was also a very large ship at that time.
At the behest of Qingji, a building ship and two large-winged boats rained down with arrows, and the intensive shooting caused them to turn into the small river, and the main ship of the husband, which was about to lean to the shore, was forced to return to the middle of the river. Several medium-wing ships around the main ship of the husband turned back and pounced on them like a desperate person, trying to win the opportunity for the husband to escape from the shore, the two large wing ships of the two wings of Qingji met them, and the two sides fell into a chaotic battle, and the building ship of Qingji approached the past and quickly approached the main ship of the husband.
The building ship sailed by, knocked over a small winged boat, and the ten soldiers on board fell into the water, but fortunately, these soldiers, all of whom were familiar with the surname of water, immediately struggled to flee to the warship near them, and climbed up with the help of hooks and spears.
Qingji's building ship and Fuji's battleship collided with a "bang", and the bodies on the two battleships shook slightly, Qingji shrugged his eyebrows, and shouted: "Put the pedal and fight over the ship!" ”
The building boat was a lot higher than the big wing boat opposite, and the two boats brushed past, and the side of the ship squeaked and creaked, and then the two ships swung to both sides because of the force, and the soldiers on the Qingji ship immediately stretched out their hooked spears, and tried their best to hook each other's boats, and made a sound, pulling the two ships closer again. Then dozens of pedals slammed between the two boats.
Qingji took the spear from the soldier's hand, pulled the buckle of the leather around his neck, let the fiery red cloak float into the air with the wind, and shouted: "Come with me, capture and kill the husband!" ”
Between the two ships, the soldiers on the Qingji ship were desperately trying to pounce on the other party's boat, and the soldiers on the husband's ship tried their best to resist the enemy with their weapons. Because of the narrowness of the river, the warships behind it could no longer crowd in, and the river was blocked and chaotic.
There was a shout of killing everywhere, and there were figures fighting in a hurry everywhere, the husband held the spear in his hand tightly, looked at the lush jungle hundreds of feet away on the left and right river banks, and shouted to Linggu: "Where is Gou Jian?" ”
Linggu floated left and right, and was about to talk, when he heard a shout in the distance, more than 20 fishing boats and boats in the upper reaches of the river crowded the entire river, and sailed down the river here, and many figures also rushed out of the forest on the left and right sides of the river, screaming ho-ho, rushing towards here.
The Yue people were already poor, and the soldiers did not have a unified military uniform, and during this period of time in the Wu State, they climbed over the mountains and mountains, wore ditches and hidden holes, and made their clothes ragged and their hair unkempt one by one.
The husband was overjoyed: "Gou Jian, I really believe in people!" ”
As soon as he saw the reinforcements, his courage doubled, he shook his spear, and said murderously: "Qingji, a certain family wants you to die in these three estuaries today!" ”
He squinted at Linggu Fu and asked, "Is the general willing to fight side by side with his husband?" ”
On this boat this way, Linggu Fudu was like a hostage, under the strict surveillance of the husband's own soldiers, and he was not allowed to carry weapons on his body.
Ling Gufu smiled: "It's an honor to have to fight side by side with General Fuji!" ”
Someone handed over a spear, Linggu Fu took it in his hand, shook his arm, the spear trembled, he and his husband looked at each other and smiled, and both rushed to the front position.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
When Qingji pounced on the bow of the husband's boat, there were all kinds of killings, and Qingji knew that it was not good. He didn't know how to guard against the cross-country Gouge along the way, but the husband was in such a tragic situation, it really didn't look like a lure to the enemy, who would be so ruthless as to sacrifice the soldiers of the whole army who accompanied him in life and death, and turned himself into a lonely person, even if he was put to death and reborn, who could put himself in such a place of death with no way out? The husband teased him all the way, and he was about to put him in his own hands, and the situation in Wu was decided by a war, and who could still calm down and fight steadily?
What's more, this big battle has completely departed from the original sneak attack plan of the husband, and the responses of both sides are random, unless Gou Jian's ambush soldiers are already hiding in the reckless Tianmu Mountain, where is the time to set up an ambush here? That probability is simply slim. However, this one-in-a-million possibility actually happened.
Due to the congestion of the river, Qingji's entourage could not rush to the front, and as soon as the ambush in the forest came out, Qingji's men and horses were not in a good situation, and they had stopped their boats and docked, landed nearby, and fought with the Vietnamese army. But once those ships docked on the shore, there was no room to move away, and the warships behind could only approach them, and one by one the Vietnamese ships landed on the shore, and those ships had big wings, middle wings, small wings, Ge boats, building boats, and boat orders, and the height and size were different, and they had to climb up and down to get on the shore, which was not as easy as flat ground, so the reinforcement of troops was slow, which gave the Vietnamese troops on the shore a great opportunity, and strictly restrained the Wu army's reinforcement for a while.
When the Vietnamese army ran to the river bank, they also carried many canoes, which were full of flammable materials coated with resin and fish oil, and as soon as they reached the river, they were rowed into the water by people, and lay across the river that was not very wide, and set fire before jumping into the water to escape.
Qing Ji saw this scene, although he was shocked but not panicked, he knew the plan at this time, but now he was on the ship, around him were mixed with the enemy and the enemy, dozens of fishing boats and flat boats rushed from the upstream to block the river, and at the same time played the role of a boat bridge, so that the Yue people on the shore could catch up with the boat to fight, but due to the same reason as the Wu army, they might as well board the boat quickly, although there were many Vietnamese troops on the shore, but there were few people who could contact the guards on the ship to fight directly, so the people on the ship could hold on for the time being.
"Just find the husband and kill him! With my martial arts, I may not be able to kill in this chaotic army! My reinforcements are endless, and it's time for them to arrive! Qingji thought secretly and glanced at the sky.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the sky is inlaid with a golden edge by the sun that has set, and the heavy clouds that are oblique like mountains seem to be dyed with ink, and soon the sky will be dark, and as soon as the sky is dark, the number of men is of little use, and he wants to get out of this battlefield where the enemy and the enemy are mixed, it will be as easy as a finger. At that time, his reinforcements arrived, and even Gou Jian, a yin man, could not escape.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
"Husband!"
"Qingji!"
As soon as the two enemies of life and death looked at each other, they were suddenly stunned. More than a year ago, the two were both relatives of the Wu royal family, one was a son-in-law, the other was a prince Qingji, and the two were uncles and nephews. Now, a year later, the two have become enemies who want to kill each other, and the world is unpredictable.
"Kill!" After a moment of panic, the sharp spear tip stabbed the opponent's throat with the last touch of the sunset. The same moves, the same ruthlessness, once ...... They fought each other, but they were on the school martial arts field in the palace of the Wu royal family.
"Sonorous!" With three strikes in a row, the spear blades of the two sides intersected, bursting out a string of sparks. Linggu was about to raise his spear, but was intercepted by Ah Qiu, who was holding a double halberd, and the soldiers of both sides rushed up, and the two sides fought together.
"That fool in Xu Menchao is trying his best to stop Qingji's land people, but Qingji has a lot of reinforcements, we must kill Qingji as soon as possible!" Gou Jian's face was dark and thin, wearing simple leather armor, holding a round shield in one hand and a short sword in the other, his eyes swept over the people and horses on the shore, on the boat, and on the water, and commanded coldly.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, then Wu Guofu ......"
The corners of Gou Jian's mouth hooked up a wry smile: "Alas! General Fu Ji unfortunately died at the hands of Qingji. His Royal Highness Fucha was trapped in Gusu City and had nothing to do. It is difficult to command the state of Wu. In order to survive the Wu State Society, Lord Wu Dazai Bo Yao will support a member of the Wu royal family to ascend the throne and become the king, and I will naturally give full support to the Yue Kingdom! ”
"Huh?" The general was stunned.
Gou Jianpi said with a smile: "Qingji and husband are all dead, who else in Wu Country can control the overall situation today?" Fucha, Cover Yu, and Candle Yong will make the entire Wu Kingdom fall apart, and at this time it is natural to need a 'British Lord', and my Yue Kingdom and Wu Kingdom are dependent on each other, and the country of brothers is naturally in line with the will of God and fully supports! ”
"Your Highness is wise, the last general understands!"
Gou Jian lowered his smile and reprimanded: "Come with me and kill the main ship of Qingji!" ”
A group of elite Yue people escorted Gou Jian to Qingji's main ship.
The battle on the ship was in full swing, and there were countless corpses lying on the deck, and the blood was as thick as paint. Qingji was hit with a spear on his thigh, his hair was picked up, his hair was scattered, and only a pair of eyes were shining. The husband was hit by a spear and a spear in his left arm, and a long wound was cut on his cheek, and the blood flowed, and it looked as hideous as a ghost.
Linggufu is also a spear master, a Qiu's double halberd suppressed Linggufu in a short period of time only the ability to parry, no power to fight back, but the double halberd is heavy, difficult to fight for a long time, after a long time, the hand will be sluggish, Linggufu in the hand of a spear beaten to retreat, his abdomen was picked by a spear, although the stab is not deep, the wound is long, the intestines are going to flow out, he is tightly tied with the belt, with the help of the two soldiers still entangled with Linggufu, unwilling to take a step back. Later, when Zai Qiu saw that the lord was trapped and killed like a desperate person, the two brothers joined forces, and Fang and Linggufu had a draw.
The light has become dimmer and darker, although there are a few fires, but the fire is not strong enough, and the light is even dimmer when it hits this high place, and the weapons of the two sides are exchanged, and sometimes it is even difficult to see the specific location of the opponent's blades.
"Uncle Wang, you are old, you shouldn't be brave in vain in front of me!" Qingji scolded, and at the same time, the spear turned with him, and he leaned towards the door of the husband's face.
The husband retreated on his back, slipped under his feet and almost fell, and hurriedly took a step to the right side, and the spear in his hand was pushed back to Qingji's lower abdomen. The husband's martial arts are not as good as Qingji, and it is more difficult for people in their forties to compare their muscles and bones with people in their twenties, at this time they are already panting like a cow, Qingji picks up his weapon with a spear, and stabs him again when he is in the yin, and the husband is no longer able to resist, so he has to retreat again, and pull a soldier to push Qingji, which blocked this spear. But Qingji made progress by taking advantage of the situation, and the spear shaft collided and smashed heavily on his lower abdomen, which made him a little out of breath for a while.
At this moment, Gou Jian led a group of personal soldiers to rush onto the boat, Linggufu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw him, and when he saw Linggufu being forced by two halberd-wielding men to fight back, Gou Jian waved his hand, and the general next to him immediately roared, rushed with a spear, and stood side by side with Linggufu.
Linggu Fu hurriedly pointed to Qingji, before he could speak, the halberd of revenge had already slashed to the ground, he hurriedly raised his spear with both hands, Gou Jian already understood, immediately raised the shield on his chest, hid the sword behind him, and approached the tall figure with agile and flexible small steps......
