Chapter 380: No Way to Escape
Zhang Gusheng led the fleet to overturn the river and the sea in front, while Qi Wei led more than 30 Tang-class warships to rush in formation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time, in order to annihilate the rebel sailors here and not give Li Jiucheng a chance to defect to Jiannu, Zhao Lie transferred most of the Tang-class warships in Jeju in order to deal a fatal blow to the rebels.
The reason why Zhao Lie did not attack Shuicheng was also because he thought that it was completely unnecessary to lose too many soldiers, and Li Jiucheng could only escape by sea, otherwise he would starve to death in Shuicheng, and when he arrived at sea, then let him taste the power of the strongest sailor in the East.
After the sound of drums scattered the rebels' formation, Qi Wei led more than 30 Tang-class ships to pounce into the enemy formation.
Each Tang-class battleship has 50 cannons, with 18-pounder, 24-pounder, and 32-pounder cannons on each side, and the largest firepower to hit the rebels is only a large fortune ship of about 200 tons, more than 100 tons of sea cangs, and a small number of sand birds, which is simply invincible.
Under the coercion of the infantry troops, the rebels' sailors and gunners also fired the only dozen or so 12-pound and 9-pounder Hongyi cannons and dozens of large furlong machines to fight back.
However, there was no major damage to the thick wooden planks of the Tang-class battleships, and at most some casualties among the sailors of the Broken Army and damage to the sail ropes.
Once the middle artillery of the Broken Army hits the rebel warship, the small boat will basically seep into the water and stagnate, and the big ship will also be damaged and slow down.
When more than thirty giants plowed through the rebel fleet, the sea was in shambles, and thirty or forty rebel ships were paralyzed in the sea, six or seven of them began to sink, and some sailors threw themselves in the sea.
The shattered planks, armor, and debris of the ship floated on the surface of the sea, and it was utterly miserable.
Li Jiucheng doesn't care about these, at this time, more soldiers can be used more to join Jiannu. Bringing more gold and silver is secondary. He was thinking about one thing. To rush out, to rush out, to rush out of this hell alive is victory.
After rushing out, whether to join Jiannu or become a pirate, we will talk about it later.
He ordered the ships to rush north.
The ships of the Broken Army began to pick their heads two miles behind them, they were unhurried, the weather was sunny and there was no rain and fog, and they did not worry about the rebel sailors being hidden, and the speed of the ships on both sides. It's so bad.
Qi Wei and Zhang Drum slowed down the ship in order to cool down the artillery, anyway, there was no hurry, this was the end of the hour, and the days were still long.
Half an hour later, more than 50 large and small warships of the Broken Army were divided into two teams to regain the rebel fleet.
The old way, breaking through from it, blossoming on both sides, the broken army is not a long line, but divided into several large groups to break through from everywhere.
The roaring sound of artillery began to resound in this sea area again, and more than a thousand cannons roared one after another. It's just one after another, and there is no time to stop. The nearby seabirds are already in awe.
The rebel sailors were terrified, fearing that they would be the next target to be hit, and they hid in Tibet, and even collided several times with their own ships trying to escape the broken warships.
Zhang Gusheng excitedly looked at the huge ship of the Broken Army Naval Division sweeping thousands of troops and defying everything, to be honest, he has been taking care of the family and nursing home in Shidao, and he has participated in few major battles.
Qi Wei is much calmer, he has already experienced several sea battles, and for the opponent of the rebel sailor in front of him, to be honest, Deputy General Qi is a little uninterested, just like an adult abusing a child, there is no resistance at all.
Qi Wei used drums and flags to direct the ships to keep this loose formation and bombardment forward, and to deal the biggest blow to the rebel ships from all sides.
A projectile flashed from the left side of Li Jiucheng's boat, and the black and red phantom made everyone's hearts tremble, but fortunately, it plunged headlong into a sea cang on the side.
The hundred-ton large Haicang trembled in pain, and a huge hole appeared on the side side.
The twenty-four-pound Thiago projectile caused a dense rain of wood chips to spread in all directions, wounding all the sailors it came across, and immediately howling over the sea.
The two ships are dozens of paces apart, and the people on the boat can see the tragic situation clearly, the big hole caused by the Tiago cannon is extremely huge and irregular, fortunately, it is not on the waterline, but on the top, this damaged Haicang can still sail, but the sailors have been mostly injured, and it is difficult to travel, and they are beginning to fall behind.
The faces of the people on Li Jiucheng's ship were pale, extremely desperate, where had they seen such a ferocious artillery battle before, this, this was too brutal.
They are all souls in their hearts, can they still rush out, it seems impossible, what should I do.
The Breaker Army Sailors once again caused a mess to break out of the formation, and they ignored the consequences of their actions behind them and the desperate rebels, and drove five or six miles away to start raising their heads again.
At this time, as long as you are not brain-dead, you know that the Broken Army is planning to use this method to attack repeatedly until all the rebel warships are destroyed, is there still a way to live?
It's no wonder that they are desperate, this time there are forty or fifty warships of all sizes or begin to sink or spin on the sea, and the Breaker Army Sailor only two times caused a hundred rebel warships to lose their combat power, and the rebels only have a few hundred warships in total, this is the rhythm of killing and killing.
There was really a way to live, and just when the rebels were panicking, a dozen or so clippers who had been watching from the sidelines approached.
Someone on the ship began to shout this, "Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who capture the rebel generals will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and those who capture Li Jiucheng will be rewarded with 3,000 taels of silver." ”
Immediately, there were shouts everywhere on the sea, and it was simply one after another.
At this time, the effect of the Broken Army shouting out was of course different, and the two blows completely destroyed the confidence of the rebel Naval Division, and the Broken Army Naval Division was about to come again in the whole team, and the shouting here was extremely coercive.
It's like a person holding a firearm to the braincase and asking if it will fall, can you say that it will not fall, there is still a way to live, and let them be people again if they don't drop a minute, this choice is really easy, as long as they are not brain-dead, they want to surrender.
Immediately, there was chaos on many ships, and the infantry and sailors who pressed the ships clashed, and there were shouts of killing, and the sound of fire and screams was mixed together.
Some of the ships had the upper hand on the infantry, and for a moment they could not contain the blood and killed most of the sailors who attacked them, and then, no more, who sailed, some of these ships immediately began to walk across the sea.
Some ship sailors successfully attacked and killed the infantry troops, and immediately hung the white flag happily, Nima, and finally escaped and ascended to heaven.
Of course, there are also water infantry soldiers who communicate happily and put up white flags together.
The rebel sailors on the whole sea were in chaos, and many ships were only concerned with fighting, and did not care about sailing at all, and the formation was completely chaotic, some marched as usual, some scattered in all directions, and some stopped their ships and lowered their flags.
Li Jiucheng was immediately stunned when he looked at everything in front of him, and he was all out of control.
He looked vigilantly at the people on his boat, there must be someone here who wanted to capture him and receive the reward, just dare or not.
Even his family guards also felt unreliable, although he looked at it, his family still looked so deferential, but Li Jiucheng never believed it.
Sun Yuanhua and You Shilu were destroyed on the look, which made Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming sell out.
How could Li Jiucheng believe in people's faces, he has always believed that wealth moves people's hearts.
Suddenly, a fierce clash broke out on a nearby Fu ship on the right, and the sailors and infantry on board fought each other.
There is a rebel guerrilla here, this is also a reward of several hundred taels of silver, the key is that there is a way to live even if you get the bounty, why not do it, the sailors launched a surprise attack under the leadership of the bow.
Not to mention, this bow is estimated to be prestigious, the ship is also larger, and there are many sailors, and they fight each other with military guns and swords and guns, and the sailors have the upper hand when the number of people is equal.
Quite simply, many foot soldiers were seasick on the undulating sea, and they could only barely maintain it, and ten percent of the combat strength could not be used for fifty percent, and the sailors were really like walking on the ground, and the two sides were equal in number.
Li Jiucheng saw that the infantry army was gradually exhausted, his eyes were about to split, and he didn't expect him to fall to such a point.
He was watching intently on the boat when suddenly two men rushed up and caught him.
Li Jiucheng turned around in horror and saw more than a dozen guards surrounding him under the leadership of Yang Laoliu, the leader of the guards.
Two guards were tying him up with ropes.
Li Jiucheng struggled desperately, he shouted, "Yang Lao Liu, I, Li Jiucheng, have never treated you badly, and I have never treated you badly in gold and silver, why are you so betrayal." ”
"Bah, what you are waiting for me is only two or three taels of silver per month, that is, your father and son hid 300,000 taels of silver on this ship, and what you are waiting for me is only a little bit, but it is for me to wait for your father and son." Yang Laoliu took a sip,
"That's it, it's not okay to provoke anyone, you actually provoked Zhao Lie, who is loud and bright, you are really asking for your own death, you are looking for death yourself, don't pull our brothers."
"Yang Lao Liu, you let me go, master, I will wait for you 100,000 taels of silver, and I will never break my promise." Li Jiucheng saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly used the last resort.
"Phew, what you Li Jiucheng said, who dares to believe it, you can throw your only son in Dengzhou, run for your life, let you go, turn around and you can cut me and so on." Yang Lao Liu is not stupid.
At this moment, the hatch was knocked open, and another guard leader, Zhang Chi, led some guards to block the hatch.
"Yang Lao Liu, you are a seller seeking glory. Put the marshal out. Zhang Chi shouted.
"Impossible, Zhang Chi, you don't want to give this old dog your life, think about it, this fleet can still fucking rush out, you want to sink into the sea to feed fish and shrimp." Yang Lao Liu saw that Zhang Chi was also a lot of people, so he didn't dare to be careless, or reasoned, it was best to persuade Zhang Chi.
"Zhang Chi, I want to rescue the master and reward him with 10,000 taels of silver." Li Jiucheng saw the savior and howled loudly.
Zhang Chi and his gang wanted to rush in, Yang Laoliu and others resisted, the number of people on both sides was about the same, and no one wanted to do it first, but the result was that the two groups couldn't hold each other.
After a stalemate, the drums and trumpets of the Broken Army and Sailors sounded in unison, and dozens of warships regained their strength and rushed to kill.
Zhang Chi was in a hurry, and he said something that made the others stunned. (To be continued.) )
