Chapter 116
At this time, Yuchai Shixu had successfully led the army to Nagato Province and prepared to cross west to Fengzen.
At this time, an envoy from Saikaido came to the military camp of Hashiba Shixu. He brought a letter of surrender from the countries of the Saikaido and asked the Minister of Taisei to lead an army to receive the troops of the countries of the Saikaido.
Yuchai Shixu was blindsided for a while, but this time the army was so successful, the army was everywhere, and the enemy was terrified.
Yuchai Shixu finally decided to lead 3,000 people to cross the sea by boat to receive the army, but Yuchai Shixu still kept an eye on it and let the army garrison the shore.
The ship of Fusang is naturally not as big as that of Chu, a ship can only carry more than 50 people, and the only big ship can only carry more than 200 people, so it naturally became the main ship of Yuchai Shixu.
The next day, Yuchai Shixu came to the shore with his personal guards, intending to lead the army to set off. At this time, the soldiers came to report that a messenger from Kofu asked to see them.
Yuchai Shixu took the bag of beans and asked, "Does Your Highness have anything else to say?" ”
The messenger shook his head and said, "There is nothing else. ”
Yuchai Shixu twisted for a long time, and for some reason, the army was on standby.
Shaking his head vigorously, Yuchai Shixu ordered, and the whole army crossed the sea and set off.
So, nearly sixty wooden boats, large and small, loaded with 3,000 soldiers, went to the opposite bank.
The Shimonoseki Strait, located between Nagato and Fengzen, is less than two miles wide, and if the weather is good, the people of the two places can clearly see the opposite scene. If there are no accidents, the sea crossing will take no more than a quarter of an hour.
Yuchai Shixu looked at the opposite coastline and thought to himself. If it were him, he would have laid an ambush on the shore. And rockets, tens of thousands of rockets.
Thinking of this, my heart moved. The bag of beans sent by Kangzi was tied tightly at both ends .......
Not good, Yuchai Shixu's heart jumped wildly, and he quickly ordered, and quickly turned around.
At this time, the ship had already crossed the center of the river, less than a mile from the opposite side, and just as the army turned the bow of the ship, it was discovered by the army in ambush on the opposite side. Rockets began to fire a salvo, but due to the distance, the arrows could not reach them, and they fell in the river one after another.
Yuchai Shixu let out a light breath.
I was secretly frightened, but fortunately, I finally woke up early, otherwise, I am afraid I would have to go to the sea to feed the fish.
And at this moment, Yuchai Shixu couldn't see it. The coast in the direction of Nagato began to be chaotic, and a large number of former Shikoku troops began to attack the Fuso army stationed on the shore from all directions.
To be prepared for an unprepared, there will be instant chaos.
At this time, a team of thousands of monks bent down from the north side of Nagato and quietly approached the coastline.
But it didn't let the defending Fuso army find out, in fact, it couldn't take care of it. All the soldiers turned their backs to the coastline against the sudden arrival of the Shikoku army.
At this time, the fleet led by Yuchai Shixu was already very close to Nagato. Entered the range of the bow and arrow.
In fact, in this case, there is basically no need for precision. As long as you draw the bow and shoot it towards the sky, the range can basically reach nearly 30 zhang. That is, a distance of 100 meters.
But caught off guard, thousands of monks began firing rockets.
That's how tragedy happened.
At this time, the fleet led by Yuchai Shixu was close to less than 100 meters from the shore. It can be said that it only takes 3,000 soldiers to shout to make the Fuso troops stationed there perceive the distance.
And it was such a distance, such a dense fleet, that is, in the space of a few minutes, under twenty or thirty rounds of rocket fire, in an instant, fireworks enveloped the entire fleet.
In addition to the shelter on the ship of Yuchai Shixu, the soldiers on the sixty or so ships had no way to hide, so they could only use their bodies to resist the arrows, or shrink down to cover the arrows with the corpses that had been killed, and some soldiers could not resist the fear in their hearts, so they jumped into the sea, and were immediately shot into hedgehogs by the overwhelming number of arrows.
On Yuchai Shixu's ship, the shelter was also wooden, and after burning, it couldn't last long under the continuous arrow strikes.
At this time, to Yuchai Shixu's deep surprise, the Fusang soldiers accompanying the ship silently walked to the bow of the boat, and then sat down and used their bodies to block arrows for Yuchai Shixu.
And more and more, until the bow of the ship was built into a wall of flesh by corpses.
At this moment, Yuchai Shixu seemed to have returned to the years in Dachu.
He always thought that this kind of scene could only be done by the soldiers of the Chu army.
It is precisely because of the scene at this moment that the future history has once again become variable.
The wails and noises of the soldiers on the ship reached the ears of the soldiers of the Fuso Army who turned their backs to the coastal defense, and only then did they realize that the coast was controlled by monks of unknown origin, so they divided their forces and began to exterminate the monk archers, but the distance was hundreds of meters, and it took time to rush through.
And in that time, the monk archers were able to fire another twenty rounds of arrows.
When the monk archers were exterminated by the Fuso soldiers who heard the news.
The sea was already on fire, full of burning ships, and soldiers who were lucky not to be killed by arrows.
Water below, fire above, so incongruous, yet so real.
It's hellish as hell.
The soldiers of the Fuso Army facing the sea were dumbfounded, because they did not know what to do after the road.
Their commander was on those boats.
At this moment, several burning men rushed out of one of the ships and jumped into the sea with a thud.
The soldiers of the Fusang Army woke up instantly, perhaps, among the people who jumped out, among these people who fell into the water, there was their commander.
A large crowd of soldiers rushed into the sea and swam in the direction of the man who had fallen into the water.
……。
Yuchai Shixu woke up slowly, and raised his eyes to see the former Black Flag Army generals in the Fusang Army surrounding him.
As he began to sober up, he realized that he was still on the coast of Nagato Province, and he turned his head sharply.
The fire had been extinguished, and the wreckage of the ships was scattered all over the sea, along with the countless corpses of the soldiers.
The generals on the side gently recounted the outcome of this tragedy.
Of the 3,000 soldiers who went to Fengqian with Yuchai Shixu, only 130 were rescued.
Yuchai Shixu had twenty-four personal guards with him, and only seven remained.
The flame of anger began to burn in the bottom of my heart, and even the pouring rain could not extinguish the anger of revenge.
The twenty-four guards with him, from the State of Chu and Yuchai Shixu to Fusang, no one was killed in several battles, but he didn't expect to be buried at sea.
Yushiba Shixu quickly stood up and ordered Dan Heian Yun, Zhou Fang, Nagato, and Iwami Shikoku.
The fury of revenge burned in the hearts of every soldier of the Fuso Army, and on the way to the army, the sight of not leaving a single prisoner behind.
In the four kingdoms, the lords, guardians, and nobles were all killed.
The treasury of all countries and cities was looted, but it did not disturb the people, which may be the only trace of sobriety that Yuchai Shixu retained this time.
Ten days later, the four kingdoms of Yasu, Zhoufang, Nagato, and Iwami were conquered in turn, and Yushiba Shixu issued a cruel order at this time, ordering the Fuso army to slaughter all the monks in these four countries. (To be continued......)
