Chapter 599: The Ending of the Reversal
"General, shall we come forward to meet now?" Among the battleships of the Yangzhou Navy Army, a captain of the Yangzhou Navy asked Lu Xun on the side.
"What? Are you scared when you see these 100 warships? Lu Xun asked the captain on the side very indifferently.
"How can you be afraid?" The lieutenant jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and it was humiliating to be said to be afraid in the army. The captain's face turned red and shouted loudly to Lu Xun: "General, if you are afraid, we will not fight against the combined forces of Jingzhou and Jiangdong with you before." "Before this, the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy added up to four or five times as much as they are now, and at that time they still went to war with Lu Xun.
"It's just that now the general, our Yangzhou Navy has only these six intact warships left, we are not afraid of death, but leave some seeds for our Yangzhou Navy Army!" What can be fought now is more than 1,800 people on these six warships, if these more than 1,800 people are also killed, then the entire Yangzhou Navy will be completely finished, at least the Lujiang Navy Army.
"Do you think we're still gone?" Lu Xun was silent for a while and shook his head, the downstream has been gambled by the Iron Chain River, there is no way to escape, there is no way back, there are still wounded people in the Lujiang Water Military Camp, and they have no way to retreat.
The attack can still be a glorious death, and there is no other way to retreat except to be captured.
"Then fight!" This lieutenant is also ruthless, anyway, it's a dead word, so let's fight, even if they die in Yangzhou, then the family can be well settled, in addition to getting a pension, there can also be land distribution. Even the children of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for Yangzhou can still enroll in the hall to study. Get ahead in the future.
When they die, their names can also be entered in the Hall of Heroes in Shouchun and worshiped by future generations. So they are not afraid of death.
"Open the door! The bed crossbow was put on the side, and the orders were issued one after another, although the Yangzhou Navy had six warships, his momentum was not lost to the Jiangxia Navy on the opposite side.
"Brothers, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, although I Lu Xun has not been in command of you for a long time, but my Lu Xun has been deeply engraved with the imprint of the Yangzhou Navy, we are the soldiers of the lord, and the lord treats us well. All the good land houses are given to us, and the tax is only 30%, which of you has a son? Lu Xun asked the Yangzhou Navy sergeant on the side.
"I, I have it!" An ordinary Yangzhou sailor soldier shouted.
"Li Erniu?" Lu Xun vaguely knew such a person.
"The general remembers me!"
"Remember, remember!" Lu Xun laughed far-fetchedly, "Li Erniu, you come to tell the soldiers, what are your sons doing now!" β
"Now!" This Li Erniu thought for a while, and then laughed innocently, not knowing what he was thinking, "That doll should be in the school!" "Li Erniu's doll was able to enter the school, this was the last time Li Erniu was injured in his left eye when he fought with Gan Ning, and he was almost blind in one eye. And Li Erniu, don't look at him as very honest, but he is not ambiguous in going into battle to kill the enemy. It is with this military exploit that this can give the doll at home a chance to go to school, although Liu Mang has always wanted to implement a comprehensive education in Yangzhou, but after all, Yangzhou now has few resources, although there are many people who know how to learn, but it is not enough, so they can only give some soldiers with military merits to give enlightenment lessons to the dolls, step by step.
"Go to the school, study, how many of you have told me that I have read?" Lu Xun asked again.
"No, never!" They all shook their heads, and even the captain of this battleship had never read, and reading was something that only rich and wealthy people could have, so people said that everything was inferior, only reading was high, this was a compliance of the people for scholars, and only by being knowledgeable could they get ahead.
"Then I tell you that this battle is over, and your dolls can enter that school to read the book of saints, and it is possible that in the future, this general, this official, will be your son, even if it is poor, it is also a bookkeeper, and he will not worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life! And we, after this war, those of you who don't have a baby, who don't have a marriage, this general promised you to go back and definitely send you a matchmaker to send a dowry gift to you to tell you about a family business! Lu Xun shouted to some of the young soldiers below who were still in love. Although the Lu family is dilapidated, it is still possible to come up with a few hundred gold, and it is not difficult to be a matchmaker for these unmarried soldiers, after all, the soldiers of the Yangzhou army are very popular in Yangzhou now.
"General, you haven't married yourself yet, first take care of your own affairs, general, and then help us!" A veteran soldier joked, saying that the group of Yangzhou sailors below all laughed, but it broke the heavy anger a lot.
"What if we can't come back?" There are still people who are more pessimistic.
"If you can't come back!" Lu Xun looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, as well as the injured battleship sitting down, "If you can't come back, you and my brothers will go to the Hall of Heroes to meet each other!" β
What is the place of the Heroes Hall of the Way of Nature of these Yangzhou Navy soldiers, they all fell silent, who would like to die, and everyone is afraid of death. Although Lu Xun was boosting his morale and telling the soldiers about the hope of going back, they also knew that this time I was afraid that they would really not be able to go back, the battleship had been damaged, and the road in the rear had been blocked. Everyone's heart is heavy.
"I'm afraid of a ball, it's a big deal, and I'll die once and kill one enough. Kill two to earn, and when you die, there are still people who remember us and think about us! What are you afraid of! β
"Yes, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal to meet you in the Hall of Heroes! There can also be good wine and meat to offer! The sharp spirit of the Yangzhou Navy soldiers was also burst out.
"If the general dies, we will also make these Jingzhou girls uncomfortable!"
"It's to let them conceive our baby, and let these Jingzhou girls cry and go back!"
"Open the gun!" Needless to say than Lu Xun said, one by one the soldiers of the Yangzhou Navy over there returned to their respective posts, and there was something called war spirit burning in their eyes.
However, this battle spirit is clearly burned in the wrong place. Just when Lu Xun sighed that the army's heart was available, the captain on the side pointed to the direction of the Jingzhou Navy over there, and was dumbfounded: "General." Checkmate. Look, look over there! β
"Huh?" Looking at the panicked appearance of the captain under his hand, Lu Xun couldn't help frowning, but when he looked in the direction of the captain's finger, his eyes widened.
On the opposite side of the Yangtze River, the water surface is white, white and white.
"What's going on?" Lu Xun asked suspiciously, the original enemy Jingzhou Navy over there put down all their battle flags, the flags of the Jingzhou Army had been cut off and fell into the water, turning into a white expanse, and more than a hundred warships of the Jingzhou Navy Army all hung white flags. What the white flag represents, Lu Xun doesn't know? The Jingzhou Navy is going to surrender? Are you kidding?
Is this possible? The other party is the enemy of the Jingzhou Navy, if the Yangzhou Navy's upper hand is forgotten, now there is a huge disparity between the enemy and me, the enemy is dozens of times his own, but the Jingzhou Navy's army is hanging a white flag. It doesn't make sense. Could it be? Lu Xun couldn't help but think of something in his heart, and he subconsciously put his hand in his arms.
"Will there be any fraud in this, general!" The lieutenant on the side asked suspiciously.
"Fraud? Does this require stratagem? Lu Xun said with a wry smile to the captain on the side, they now have a total of six warships, all six warships are still injured, many bed crossbows on the warships are also damaged, and now the combat effectiveness of the Yangzhou Navy is really not very good. If the Jingzhou Navy is really ruthless, it only needs to pay the price of three or four thousand people to destroy the Yangzhou Navy Army.
"What about them?" The lieutenant was even more confused, and Lu Xun was also confused.
"General, they're already within our range!" The side watched the distance and said to the captain and Lu Xun.
Now this distance is just the range of the Yangzhou Navy bed crossbow. The bed crossbow arrows thrown from here were just enough to shoot at the battleship of the Jingzhou Navy on the opposite side, but the bed crossbow on the Jingzhou Navy battleship was difficult to take the Yangzhou Navy to do.
"Let the soldiers stay vigilant and fight back as soon as things change!" Lu Xun could only give this order. He couldn't figure out what the Jingzhou Navy was doing, when the two armies were fighting on the battlefield, the white flag was hung, wasn't this Jingzhou Navy general afraid that hanging the white flag for no reason would make the morale of his subordinates weak, and even the order was not in place to lead the mutiny of the entire army?
The ancients were not like the current soldiers who had a communicator, the ancients basically relied entirely on roaring, and the warships relied on some simple flags to express orders.
"General, look over there!" The captain shouted to Lu Xun, and Lu Xun also saw that several ships were coming from the warships of the Jingzhou Navy and were heading towards the Yangzhou Navy warships.
"Do they want to slow us down with their ships? Bed crossbow ready! β
"Slow!" Lu Xun stopped the lieutenant's order: "Let them come!" Lu Xun's eyesight is very good, he actually saw a figure wearing the general's armor on those ships, which made him feel even more strange, there is a general of the Jingzhou Navy on this small ship, what are these Jingzhou Navy going to do? Even if there is no general, Lu Xun doesn't care, a few small warships are simply not able to take the battleships of the Yangzhou Navy Army, Sun Ce has already tested it with thousands of his men before.
The speed of the small ship was very fast, and it soon reached the bottom of the Yangzhou naval warship.
"Where is General Lu Xun, the commander of the Yangzhou Water Army!" A loyal voice came from above the small ship below.
"Huh?" Lu Xun was puzzled, is this here to find himself? Do you want to persuade me to surrender?
"I am Huo Jun Huo Zhengfang,"
As soon as these words came out, the Yangzhou Navy was in an uproar, because the previous handsome flag of the Jingzhou Navy on the opposite side was not Huo Jun's? Now Huo Jun has come to the bottom of the Yangzhou Navy warship?
"There is an important matter to discuss with General Lu Xun!" Huo Jun's voice was still loud. "I hope the general will let me get on the boat!"
"General, you can't let this Huo Jun get on the boat!" Captain Bian resolutely disagreed, although this Huo Jun's martial arts had not been directly seen by the Yangzhou Navy, but thinking that Huang Gai could not get any benefits in his hands, Han Dang was still injured in Huo Jun's hands, and even if this person's strength could not reach the level of refining gods, it was incomparably different. It's hard to imagine that this person came this time to release a smoke bomb and get on the boat to capture Lu Xun, so the Yangzhou Navy is really impossible.
"Let him come up!" It's not the same as this captain. Lu Xun wanted to let this Huo Jun get on the warship.
"General?"
"How. Does Captain Pounce look down on General Ben's martial arts so much? Lu Xun also pulled out the sword at his waist. Flashing cold light,
Although Captain Pounce did not say it explicitly, but his worried look was also suspicious of Lu Xun's martial arts, a white-faced scholar, if Lu Xun knew the art of war, Captain Pounce still believed it very much, but if it was said that Lu Xun was strong in martial arts, then Captain Pounce would have to hehe" The last general had no such intention. But this Huo Jun is strong in martial arts, and the general must be cautious" This cautious word of caution has not yet been spoken, and the captain only felt a cold mouth, and he saw a familiar thing on Lu Xun's long sword.
The captain of the flutter widened his eyes and wiped it again, it was already extremely smooth, you must know that this captain flutter has always been a rough man with a scruffy beard, and now this beard has a little cow smell when it is shaved off.
"It turns out that Captain Pounce is so young!" Li Erniu on the side couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this captain must have shaved his beard from time to time, which is why this beard grew so fast, covering up his original noodle catalog.
And now Lu Xun used the long sword in his hand to help him make a razor, and suddenly his green face was revealed. Looking at his age, he is not much older than Lu Xun.
"Look at what, look!" This captain blushed a little, his face was pulled and his eyes widened, when he had a big beard, he could still be angry and frightening. And now it's getting funny, especially for some of the veterans, whose children may not be much younger than the captains.
"Now the captain is relieved of the general's martial arts!" Lu Xun also looked at Captain Pounce with a smile.
The captain can only nod and say yes, can you rest assured, this is not a razor for shaving the beard, but a long sword, a little accidentally offset a little under the beard is the neck, if a bad miss, he has not been able to die on the battlefield, but will die in the hands of his own people.
"Invite that General Huo Jun up!" Lu Xun took back the long sword in his hand, and took out the sword and entered the sword in one go.
Soon, someone brought the Jingzhou soldier who called himself Huo Jun to the deck of the Yangzhou Navy warship, and Huo Jun watched while walking, looking at the new bed crossbow hidden in the muzzles of the Yangzhou Navy and couldn't help but make Huo Jun speechless.
The equipment of the Yangzhou Navy is really incomparable to the Jingzhou Navy Army, even the Jiangdong Navy is like this, the Yangzhou Navy invented the bed crossbow, which changed the pattern of the war on the surface of the entire Yangtze River, and the Jingzhou Navy has used the bed crossbow, and the new warships have also come out.
Huo Jun saw the battle between Wenpin and the Yangzhou Navy in his eyes, and now he watched it closely.
"Tell the general, Huo Jun will bring it!" Soon this part of the journey was over, and what appeared in front of Huo Jun was a young commander.
"General Lu!"
"General Huo!" The two looked at each other and said hello.
"General Lu is so young and promising, so I really admire him!"
"General Huo is not bad!"
"I don't know why General Huo came to our naval warship like this! If it is persuasion, then the general will not need words! As soon as Lu Xun came up, Huo Jun's road was blocked, if it was to persuade Lu Xun to surrender, it would be impossible to agree, when Sun Ce persuaded Lu Xun to surrender, Lu Xun did not waver in the slightest.
"Isn't General Lu afraid of the annihilation of the whole army?" Huo Jun looked at Lu Xun and asked.
"I'm afraid!" Lu Xun was very calm: "But I'm more afraid of being sorry for the lord!" I'm afraid I'm sorry for the people of Yangzhou! β
"Yes!" Huo Jun smiled indifferently. "General Lu Xun is both loyal and righteous!"
"Then what about General Huo Jun, isn't General Huo Jun afraid? Aren't you afraid that you can't go back when you come to the warship of my Yangzhou naval army? Lu Xun asked rhetorically.
"Don't be afraid!" Huo Jun shook his head directly, his shaking head and this indifferent expression made the Yangzhou Navy generals on the side more and more annoyed, is this a straightforward contempt? When you get to the enemy's camp, you say you're not afraid?
"Could it be that General Huo Jun thinks that Lu's sword is not sharp?" Lu Xun was also a little uncomfortable, and directly pulled out his long sword, and the cold light flickered again, because Huo Jun said that he was not afraid, he must be relying on something, behind Huo Jun are just these hundred Jingzhou naval warships, use these to threaten them Yangzhou naval army? Or do you want to come and humiliate?
"General Lu Xun's sword is very sharp" Huo Jun clamped Lu Xun's hilt with his fingers and approached his hair. Kiss and blow. Huo Jun's overflowing long hair was directly cut off by this long sword. "The best meteorite to build!" Blow your hair and break it.
"Huh?" Lu Xun couldn't help but pull the long sword back a little.
"But ah, this long sword should be used to kill the enemy, for his own people, can General Lu Xun also do it?" Huo Jun stepped forward more and more, not only did he not retreat, but took a step forward and approached the long sword, put the long sword on his neck, and gently surged forward, and blood soon appeared on his neck, and blood flowed out of the wound.
"Stay away from our general!" The soldiers of the Yangzhou Navy over there saw the blood and immediately pulled out their swords and surrounded Huo Jun.
Huo Jun was not afraid of death, but looked at Lu Xun in front of him.
"Lay down your swords!" Lu Xun also looked at Huo Jun and shouted to the people under him.
"General?"
"General Huo. If you came here just to humiliate me Lu, then congratulations, you succeeded! It is still impossible to persuade you to surrender! Only fight to the death! Lu Xun put away his long sword, turned around, and shouted to the people under his hands: "Send off!" β
"The general is the best time to take down this Huo Jun, as long as this person is taken, won't this Jingzhou Navy retreat?" The captain on the side said to Lu Xun.
"Kill Huo Jun?" To tell the truth, Lu Xun really had this idea, and used Huo Jun as a threat to force the Jingzhou Navy to retreat, but Lu Xun knew that this Huo Jun dared to come alone, and he must have his plans. What's more, Lu Xun still has his own ideas, that is, these Yangzhou naval soldiers.
Indeed, the words of the captain surnamed Yu made Lu Xun hesitate, it is not bad that he Lu Xun is not afraid of death. But he also wants to leave a little seed for the Yangzhou Navy, and the battle is enough so far. Generally speaking, if more than half of the battle losses are elite, they can surrender or disperse, but now there are only 1,000 soldiers left in the Yangzhou Navy of 8,000 soldiers and horses. If possible, I hope that the Jingzhou Navy will not be wiped out, after all, many soldiers and horses in the Yangzhou Navy are Jiangxia people.
"If General Lu asked me to leave before, then Huo might have left, but now!" Huo Jun suddenly knelt down, "The general under the command of the military advisor Zhuge Liang, Huo Jun and more than 36,000 Jiangxia sailors have returned to General Lu Xun, the commander of the Yangzhou navy!" β
"What!" Lu Xun was completely stunned.
"Surrender?" Lu Xun's eyes widened and he couldn't believe the qi qi in front of him, no matter how old Lu Xun was, no matter how calm and calm he was, but in the final analysis, Lu Xun was just a young man, and his city had not yet been cultivated to the kind of Cheng DΓΉ whose face did not change when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
So Lu Xun didn't believe what he heard at all.
Until Huo Jun, who was half-kneeling in front of him, repeated: "Huo Jun, a general under the command of Zhuge Liang, a military advisor, returned to Yangzhou with more than 36,000 Jiangxia naval troops, and General Lu Xun, the commander of the Yangzhou naval army."
"The Jiangxia Navy is willing to surrender to His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" On the surface of the Yangtze River, the warships of the Jiangxia Navy catered to each other in unison, and this qiΔ was all the credit of Li Yan.
Listening to Huo Jun's repetition again, and Huo Jun kneeling down in front of him, Lu Xun believed a little.
"Returned, surrendered?" The Yangzhou Navy sergeant over there also stared at each other with wide eyes and couldn't believe it, Wang Si on the side suddenly screamed, his face was flushed, he covered his face and shouted loudly at Li Erniu on the side, "Li Erniu, what are you doing!" β
"Hehe, I'm looking to see if I'm dreaming again!" Li Erniu smiled innocently, he looked at his hand, "It doesn't seem to be a dream!" β
"Ahh Wang Si was a little annoyed, "You want to know if it's a dream, you can't beat yourself, why are you beating me!" Wang Si looked at Li Erniu on the side angrily. He wanted to get Li Erniu's apology or apology, but he didn't expect to get Li Erniu's idiot look, "I'm stupid, it doesn't hurt to beat myself!" β
"I, you, me! Li Erniu, I'll fight with you! Wang Si rushed towards Li Erniu regardless of a single qiΔ.
There was a frolicking sound, and Lu Xun and Captain Pu didn't stop it, because the nerves of the soldiers of the Yangzhou Navy were too tense, and no one would stand it if they fought several times in two days, and the Yangzhou Navy had already squeezed out their potential, and they were fighting with a belief that they died in battle, and their families could live better.
But who is really not afraid of death! Now that there is no war, they seem to have won, and they don't have to fight to the death anymore, so they are naturally happy.
"We win, we win!" Over there, the Yangzhou Navy was cheering loudly, releasing their kind of vigor and releasing their inner uneasiness.
"For? Why? Lu Xun didn't join in that kind of cheering, but looked at Huo Jun on the side.
"No why! To surrender is to surrender! Huo Jun stood up, seemingly unwilling to explain more.
"Is that because of this?" Lu Xun took out a letter from his arms and gave it to Huo Jun, Huo Jun saw the thing on it and smiled indifferently.
"General Lu Xun, are you loyal to your lordship, His Royal Highness the King of Shu?" Huo Jun asked Lu Xun.
"This is natural!" Lu Xun nodded, Lu Xun was able to have such an achievement, and he was able to command an army in the year of a weak crown because the lord Liu Mang was eclectic and reduced talents, and he Lu Xun was used.
"What if His Royal Highness the King of Shu lets you die!" Huo Jun suddenly said such a sentence, which made Lu Xun's brows furrow. "The lord won't!"
"I mean what if!" Huo Jun said to Lu Xun.
"What if?" Lu Xun thought for a long time and replied to Huo Jun's words, that is, "The monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" β
"Haha, then General Lu Xun, do you still need to ask me why?" Huo Jun smiled at Lu Xun, looking at Huo Jun's smile, Lu Xun also understood.
"Zhuge Kongming?" Lu Xun was very smart and quickly remembered who Huo Jun's master was, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao naturally would not order Huo Jun, if Huo Jun was loyal to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, then there would be no surrender now, Liu Biao was eager to destroy the Yangzhou Naval Army, from the fact that he could use Jiangxia as a bet with the Jiangdong Naval Army
Then there is only Zhuge Liang, and Huo Jun also mentioned Zhuge Liang's name before.
"Was it arranged by the lord?" Lu Xun didn't ask this sentence, but put him in his heart.
More than 36,000 Jiangxia soldiers and horses all surrendered to the Yangzhou Water Army, and the Yangzhou Navy Dazhai couldn't let go of so many soldiers and horses, so the Jiangxia soldiers and horses left 10,000 horses to help the Yangzhou Navy clean up the Yangzhou Water Army camp, and the remaining soldiers and horses still returned to the Xiakou camp. (To be continued......)
