Chapter 546: Captives Revolt
After years of investment, Wei Feng has four naval forces on hand, namely the Guangzhou Naval Army, the Tianjin Naval Army, the Jiangling Naval Army and the Fangtou Naval Army, in fact, according to common sense, there is money to build ships, but the training of the naval army is very difficult, but Wei Feng has abandoned the tactics of jumping gangs and taking over the board, and purely destroys enemy ships with long-range strikes, which is relatively much easier.
Among the four naval armies, the Guangzhou naval forces were mainly ocean-going giant ships, whose main purpose was to deter overseas merchants and make them dare not make waves in Guangzhou, and to prepare for future expeditions to the South Seas, poison, and even the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.
The Tianjin Navy and the Jiangling Navy are proportionally matched with large, medium and small warships, and only the Fangtou Navy is fully equipped with small and medium-sized warships.
This time the Tianjin Navy did not dispatch large warships, but a hundred ships in the back block, immediately blocked the retreat road, the Beifu Navy was difficult to advance an inch, there were chasing soldiers, and the time was in chaos, due to the restriction of the riverbed, his ships were also in a group, the ships were stuck with the boats, and it was impossible to get ashore in a short time, and some people were anxious to jump into the river to escape!
Jumping into the river does not necessarily mean survival, the key is that the boats in the river are too dense, and they are moving irregularly, some people are squeezed to death before they can be unfolded, and some people simply plunge into the end, but they hit the bottom of the boat when they are getting out of the boat, and they can never get out again.
Liu Yi was furious, his boat was in the middle of the river, a distance of more than 100 zhang from both banks, and the tragic appearance he saw made him completely lose the idea of jumping ship to escape!
"Don't mess up, don't mess around! Lean to the shore in turn, otherwise military law is engaged! Liu Yi shouted loudly at the top of his voice. The standard-bearer also played out one flag after another, but at this time it was really chaotic, no one paid attention to it at all, and the Beifu Army fell into chaos for the first time!
"Good!" Discovering the chaos in Liu Yi's army, Julia shouted loudly: "Order, the whole army in the rear team will attack, Liu Yi will try his best to catch it alive, but he must see people in life and corpses in death, and how many soldiers of the Beifu army can kill." Kill them until they surrender! ”
"Yes!" The flag is played backwards. The eight ships used to intercept scattered one after another, adjusted the ship's position, and led the battleship behind him to pounce on Liu Yijun!
Julia glanced behind her and pointed forward, "Concentrate." Bombardment of pontoons. The old lady doesn't believe that she can't defeat it. Shoot arrows on the surface of the ship with the crossbowman, shoot more! ”
"Yes!" The banner was struck.
The stone bullets dispersed the blows, and there was almost no pontoon bridge. But it is not the same when concentrated, hundreds of stone bullets hit a small area, and the kinetic energy carried far exceeded the limit of the pontoon bridge, only two rounds of stone bullets, a rumbling sound was heard, and the pontoon bridge broke from the middle!
The so-called embankment of thousands of miles, collapsed in a hole, the same is true of the pontoon bridge, there is a section of cracking, the force is no longer uniform, and the sudden collapse of the bridge deck soil and stone will smash the boat used to carry into the river, the boat suddenly sinks and throws up the waves and affects the stability of the surrounding ships, so that it drifts and spins, which is equivalent to tearing the pontoon bridge apart from the foundation.
As if the dominoes had been overturned, under the combined force of the concentrated blow of the stone bullets and the concussion of the boats, the pontoon bridge collapsed into the river, and none of the thousands of remaining defenders on the bridge escaped, and they all fell into the water with the pontoon!
The sky was sprinkled with goose feathers and snow, the river was cold and clear, Julia's tight boat formation took advantage of the situation to disperse, occupying the river and rushing upstream, huge arrows and short arrows flew all over the sky with snowflakes, stone bullets were fired freely, the screams on both sides of the river continued, and the soldiers who fell into the river were even more devastated, Julia gave a kill order, and some of the crossbow arrows from the boat were dedicated to killing those who fell into the water, and the bright red of the river bloomed one by one like flowers, and countless corpses floated in the water.
Shen Linzi hid behind the car, his eyes were full of disbelief, thinking that his impregnable defense was in front of the Ming army, that was the local chicken and tile dog!
"General Shen!" A subordinate general hurriedly persuaded: "The Ming Navy is too powerful, this interception has failed, hurry up and withdraw the troops!" ”
Another general hesitated: "The Ming army is a naval army, and it is difficult to go ashore, so it will naturally not be a problem for us to leave, but how are the brothers on the north shore good?" The water is controlled by the Ming army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cross the river! ”
The previous general retorted: "If we don't go here, they can cross the river?" If you really have no way out, you can avoid the nearby city! Please General Shen make up your mind quickly! ”
Shen Linzi's heart was dripping blood, he brought 30,000 troops, 10,000 ambushes on the bridge, 10,000 on both sides, and now the 10,000 troops on the bridge have all been wiped out, and the south bank has lost more than 1,000 troops, and the north bank should be about the same.
This time the battle site is located in the upper reaches of the Huaikou into the Huaishui about 30 miles (now Anhui Mengcheng County and Huaiyuan County junction), the nearest city from here is the Huai Ling (now Anhui Mingguang City) south of the Huai Shui and Qiao, but it is difficult to cross the river, the Ming army will inevitably block the water and even the lower reaches of the Huai Shui, the only thing to go is to the north nearly 500 miles of Xiapi, however, Liu Yu in order to prepare for the war, the grain in Huaibei has been expropriated, and the people have all moved away, plus the grain and grass carried by the army are basically accumulated on the south bank, Therefore, it is almost impossible for the soldiers on the north shore to avoid going down, and most of them will freeze and starve to death in the vast snowfield!
This also means that it is very good that nearly half of Shen Linzi's 30,000 troops can escape, which is a miserable defeat that cannot be miserably repeated!
Looking at the north bank, Shen Yaozi said hatefully: "Jiren has his own natural appearance, let's go, stay away from the water!" ”
The Beifu soldiers on the south bank spread their legs and fled into the distance, although it was very convenient to return to the city along the water, but they would rather take a detour than dare to get too close to the water, for fear of being attacked!
Shen Linzi was defeated and fled, watching his ships being sunk in turn by the Ming warships that were densely surrounded by the front and back, especially the Ming army shot the soldiers who fell into the water without mercy, Liu Yi's face was like ashes, he knew that he couldn't escape, and he completely lost his old capital, and lost the capital to compete with Liu Yu, and a sadness couldn't help but come to his heart.
A subordinate general persuaded in a trembling voice: "General Liu, if you continue like this, the whole army will inevitably be wiped out, it is better to surrender quickly, King Ming is quite important to you, and you can still survive if you fall!" ”
Liu Yi thought about it, and said urgently: "Quick, give the order, lay down your weapons, and the whole army will surrender!" ”
"General Liu ordered to surrender on the spot!"
One after another orders spread around, and the four corners suddenly calmed down, and the Ming army gradually stopped attacking, to Liu Yi's surprise, no one dropped their weapons!
In the chaos before, everyone wanted to run for their lives, but at this time, as soon as they calmed down, a boundless humiliation immediately filled their hearts!
For more than 20 years, the Beifu Army has been in the north and south of the Great River, even if Liu Gaozhi was ambushed by Murong Chui and annihilated the whole army, no one surrendered, and now, it is their turn to surrender, and their self-esteem is unacceptable!
In the eyes of the Beifu Army, except for insiders, the rest are enemies!
Liu Yi shouted anxiously: "Hurry up, put down your weapons, there is still a way to live, could it be that you want to die?" ”
"Dang! When the cium! I don't know who started to throw down the weapon, someone took the lead, and the number of people who threw away the weapon gradually increased, and Liu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But Julia faintly felt that the atmosphere in the rear was not normal, and couldn't help frowning slightly, Wang Daolian persuaded: "Julia, something is not quite right with the Beifu Army, there may be something strange!" ”
"Hmm!" Julia nodded: "I think so too, the reputation of the Beifu army has become a burden for them, just like our Roman warriors in a hundred battles, they would rather die on the battlefield than be ashamed of surrendering, maybe, the surrender of the Beifu army will not be too smooth, hum!" It's all in the way of the envoy, and according to Julia's temperament, he simply kills all the things and saves trouble. ”
As she spoke, Julia turned her head and shouted, "Be careful with the soldiers behind, if you resist, you will be killed!" ”
"Yes!" The flag is played backwards.
Although the officers and men of the Beifu Army laid down their weapons one after another, they all stood still, coldly watching the ships of the Ming Army leaning against their own ships.
A Ming army general called impatiently: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hold your head in your hands, line up and come over in turn, hurry up, don't grind! ”
Some of the Ming soldiers on the ship were armed with crossbow machines, and the other part was holding ropes, apparently the captives came over and tied them up first, and everyone was in a condescending posture, and there were even people with contempt in their eyes, as if to say: Look? Didn't the majestic Beifu Army also become Lao Tzu's prisoner?
This contemptuous gaze pierced into the depths of his heart like a sharp thorn, and a young general of Beifu suddenly said with grief and indignation: "Grandma Cao's bear, when has our Beifu army been taken prisoner since it became an army?" Men should die standing up, not live on their knees, Lao Tzu would rather die in battle than be a prisoner, brothers, seize the opportunity to go up with Lao Tzu and take their ship, or be able to turn defeat into victory, on! ”
The young man kicked up his spear, picked up his shield, and jumped onto the boat!
"Kill!" More than a dozen boats close to each other rioted at the same time, and nearly a thousand officers and soldiers of the Beifu Army rushed towards the Ming ships!
This is something that has never happened before, didn't the Beifu army surrender? How can it be cheated? The soldiers of the Ming army failed to react for a while!
"Ahh Yes! Several screams rang out one after another, and several Ming soldiers were hit by the shuttle darts that were thrown!
"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow! Shoot these vile and shameless dog thieves! The commanders of the ships came back to their senses one after another, and shouted loudly in a hurry!
Dense rain of arrows poured out, hundreds of Beifu soldiers were shot dead on the spot, but it takes more than ten seconds for the crossbow to be wound, there is this gap, it is enough for the enemy to rush to the bow of the ship, not to mention that there is a steady stream of soldiers and sailors rushing forward, the nearby Beifu military ships are also rapidly approaching, the Ming soldiers on the ship fell into the unfavorable situation of handing over the short army, the Beifu army has formed a local advantage of more people and fewer people, and the scene is extremely dangerous!
"Jump ship, jump ship! Hurry! The Ming warships on the periphery shouted repeatedly, beckoning their companions to abandon the ship and flee, everyone's eyes spewed out a raging rage, and this kind of thing can simply make people crazy!
"Plop! Thump! The organic warrior immediately jumped into the water, but more, remained on the ship forever! (To be continued......)
