Chapter 596: "Marauder".
readx;
With a wave of the flag, more than a dozen stone projectiles flew towards the oncoming Dongying warship. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to the lack of accuracy, many of these stone shells did not hit the target, and only one of them exploded embedded in the deck of a Dongying warship, causing the death of several Dongying sailors.
Huyan Ruizhu did not shoot the second round again: "Strong crossbow, prepare for strong crossbow!" ”
The Song Army's strong crossbow is a modified version of the car crossbow used by the army, the army's car crossbow is more accurate, and the sailor's use has a longer range. The arrows are all the same, very thick and sharp kind of three-edged arrows, pay attention to a penetrating power.
The Dongying ship was already very close, and Miyamoto Rokuro could even see the thick arrow clearly when Song Jun's strong crossbow was aiming, and his eyes did not have the slightest fear: "Kill!" Don't be afraid! ”
This kind of crossbow is very powerful, it can penetrate the deck of those medium-sized ships and let the entire hull into the water, once it is shot, it will definitely sink to the bottom of the sea, but they have more than sixty ships, even if they sink a few, it doesn't matter, as long as the remaining half can board the flagship of the Song army, they are still the victors.
The crossbow arrows soon let out a burst of whistling through the air, and the target of the Song army's attack was those medium-sized warships, the crossbow arrows were shot from top to bottom, and the penetration was even more amazing, and the speed of the seven or eight enemy ships that were shot immediately slowed down, and the panicked appearance of the Dongying people on the ship was seen very clearly by the Song army.
Miyamoto Rokuro ignored these casualties, he found that the flagship of the Song army had moved, and began to move to the side, slowly accelerating.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you want to leave now?" Too late, right? Lean in! ”
The Dongying people on several large ships had already gathered at the bow of the ship, with hooks in their hands, ready to take the board at any time.
At this time, more than a dozen fire dragons suddenly erupted from the flagship of the Song Dynasty, and the raging fire engulfed many Dongying warships in an instant, and the body of the six wolves of Miyamoto was also burned, but fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly, and his whole body climbed onto the ship's board, and when the fire passed, although he looked a little embarrassed, he was not burned.
However, two large warships had been burned by the Song army's flames, and those ships could no longer rely on the wind, and despite the efforts of the sailors to row forward, the direction of the ships still deviated somewhat from the current of the current.
This period of time was enough to make the speed of the "raiders" faster, and after the two hulls rowed, the four frigates that had been hiding behind the "raiders" rushed up, and suddenly attacked the ship formation of the Dongying people, knocking and sinking five or six of the small boats of the Dongying, and at the same time, a large warship of the Dongying was penetrated by the crossbow of the Song military crossbow when it passed by the frigate, and the hull began to tilt slowly.
Chen Yuan was very happy to see it at the bow of the boat: "Good! Lady, do a beautiful job! ”
Getting Chen Yuan's praise obviously made Huyan Ruizhu very happy, although he smiled on his face, he said: "This is just the beginning, you stand a little behind, you may be about to take over!" ”
Chen Yuan saw that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty behind him had already lined up, with a posture ready to deal with the enemy's boarding at any time.
It is impossible for Huyan Ruizhu to let the "raiders" leave here, although the four frigates have disrupted the formation of the Dongying people, but the Dongying people can immediately react, and if there is no strong support at that time, it is equivalent to sending these four warships into the encirclement of the Dongying warships.
So the "raiders" must be killed, and they must be killed immediately.
Use her huge body and special value to attract the main force of the opponent, so that those four frigates can play the most role.
Miyamoto Rokuro knew that his chances were getting fewer and fewer, and the warships of the Song Dynasty behind him had already rescued all the sailors on the injured ships who were about to sink into the water, and they had already formed up to kill on their side. He had to step on this flagship of the Song Dynasty before those warships arrived, and kill all the Song Dynasty people on it.
When the "raiders" returned, Miyamoto Rokuro didn't care about the four Song Dynasty escort warships, his demeanor was close to madness: "Kill!" Kill it! ”
Although Huyan Ruizhu was ready for a broadside battle, this did not mean that she planned to fight with the Dongying people in this way. Many Song troops stood guard on both sides of the ship, cutting or pushing down the hooks thrown by the enemy.
The sailors at the helm also kept changing directions, so that the ship could not easily approach the body of the "raider".
The Marauders were so large that it took a little time to climb, and this provided an extremely advantageous form for the Song army's defense.
In any case, the attacking side always suffered in battle, so although the ships of the Toei people under the leadership of Miyamoto Rokuro rushed very bravely, and the sailors shook their hooks towards the "Marauder", no one was able to get on deck.
On the side of the "raiders", Dongying's ships were constantly knocked over, and after paying a heavy price, the clippers of the Song army had already been killed, and they launched an attack on these sneak attackers from behind, and the situation of the "raiders" formed a flanking situation, and the situation of the whole battle immediately tilted to the side of the Song army.
"Boom." With a bang, a stone bullet exploded on the bow of Miyamoto Rokuro's ship, and Miyamoto Rokuro felt the hull under his feet begin to tilt, and the hull shook uncontrollably and continuously.
"Quick, drop the sails!" At this point, the bow of the ship began to weigh up, and if the sails were still behind and pushed forward with the help of the wind, the whole ship could be overturned at any time.
But is it useful to drop the sails? A samurai next to him hurriedly said: "General, it's useless, abandon the ship!" ”
The mustache on the corner of Miyamoto Rokuro's mouth shook twice, and he slashed to death the samurai who made him abandon the ship, and then stared at everyone with a fierce light in his eyes, and the bloody long knife pointed at the "raider": "For the emperor, kill it!" For the glory of the samurai, we must board that ship, even if we die on it. ”
"Whew! Click! ”
The entire hull shook violently again, and a clipper of the Song Army shot a powerful crossbow, piercing another board of the battleship at Miyamoto Rokuro's feet. Miyamoto Rokuro turned around: "Forward!" ”
Huyan Ruizhu did not dodge, the enemy at this time could no longer pursue victory, as long as she put a few more strong crossbows, or when Miyamoto Rokuro approached, she used a fire-breathing barrel to attack the opponent, the opponent had no chance to get up at all.
Huyan Ruizhu got down from the command tower and came straight to Chen Yuan: "Xianggong, that Dongying person is the leader, do you want to live him?" ”
Chen Yuan nodded hurriedly: "Capture alive, if you are sure, catch me alive, I happen to be useful." ”
Huyan Ruizhu immediately gave the order for all the sergeants on the ship to be ready to engage in a broadside battle with their opponents.
Seeing that Song Jun actually put on a posture of letting himself pedal the boat, it really surprised the six wolves of Miyamoto. Although he rushed bravely just now, there was no hope in his heart at all, and now the people of the Song Dynasty actually gave him a chance, no matter what the purpose was, Miyamoto Rokuro directly ignored it and leaned over directly.
With a "bang", the two ships collided, like a child hitting an adult's leg, Miyamoto's battleship swung more than a meter away, and the sailors on board staggered violently, but the "raider" did not move at all.
If Huyan Ruizhu moves a little, it is estimated that the ship that is already sinking at Miyamoto's feet will immediately crash into the bottom of the sea.
Miyamoto knew this situation that he now wanted to board the flagship of the Song army, because he was a pirate-born general, for a pirate, when he saw such a ship, he wanted to own her, if he couldn't capture this big ship in a normal way, then let himself die on this ship!
Ordered again, then collided again. The sailors on the side of the board set up hooks and threw rope loops, and Miyamoto Rokuro personally took the lead: "Rush!" ”
Fujiwara Yoritsu in the back shook his head in despair, he knew very well in his heart that the charge at this time had no other meaning for Miyamoto except to fulfill the glory of a samurai.
And Miyamoto's defeat meant the last ray of hope for Fujiwara Yoritsu.
He looked at the battlefield that was still in full swing, and looked at the current form, his brow furrowed. With the decline of the physical strength of the Dongying people, the Song army on the entire battlefield became more and more brave. Fujiwara knows that he has lost, but he still has to persevere, because now is definitely not the time to make peace.
Seeking peace just now, maybe the people of the Song Dynasty still look up to themselves, but now that they are seeking peace, the Song army will think that they won this battle, and they were beaten by them and admit defeat.
So Fujiwara Yoritsu still has to insist, hold on until the evening, and at night today's battle is over, it is impossible for the Song army to launch a night battle on the vast sea, at that time the Dongying people can safely withdraw from the battle, and they are not considered to have lost the entire war.
He looked up at the sky, and said in a very firm tone: "Let everyone persevere, there are still two hours and it will be dark." ”
The group of Dongying daimyo and generals standing next to him were a little gloomy in their expressions, and the sailors of the Song Dynasty gave them a powerful shock, and that shock came from the ships of the Song Dynasty, not the combat effectiveness of the sailors of the Song Dynasty.
Fujiwara Yoritsu's mouth moved twice: "Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, we have never communicated with Zhongtu again, and the situation that has been introduced to us in the Dongying War over the years is also the repeated defeat of the Song Dynasty army, and they seem to have lost the style of the Tang people, and the compensation for land cession is almost the result of every war." This is what we heard, but what we saw was another thing, please know that this is the case, we should have sent people to the Song Dynasty, just like we surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in the first place, that is the wisest choice. ”
A daimyo said, "General, can the Song people still agree to us to sue for peace?" ”
Fujiwara Yoritsu smiled: "Of course they will agree, Dongying is too far away for the Song people, they just want to get something from us, and the reason why we fought this battle is also to let them take less things." ”
In the silence of everyone, Fujiwara Yoritsu sighed: "Okay, now we are doomed to win, but we have at least won the dignity of a samurai with our bravery, Miyamoto-kun is good, he rushed to the flagship of the Song Dynasty will inevitably have a heroic end, he is a real samurai, worthy of each and every one of us to emulate." ”
"General, look at the back!"
A daimyo shouted loudly, and Fujiwara Yoritsu hurriedly turned around, only to see a row of warships approaching behind him, and the warships were clearly marked.
Fujiwara Yoritsu recognized the flag: "Captain! ”
