Text Chapter 678 Huang Gai was killed in battle, and Lu Meng was defeated

Of course, it is not accurate to say that the word killing, but it is more appropriate to describe it with the word escape.

The one who fled was the Soochow Navy led by Huang Gai, but compared to the 100,000 people who got off the ship and landed, now they only have a little more than 60,000, and the other 30,000 people are all left behind in the process of escaping, or they are killed by the Celestial Empire Waterway Army that is pursuing behind them.

With 100,000 against 200,000, with no intention against heart, Huang Gai is no wonder if he doesn't lose, and he can lead more than 60,000 people and horses, for him, it can be regarded as the result of good command.

"Not good, our ships are under attack." When Huang Gai came to the beach, he saw the warship under the banner of Soochow that was going away, and at the same time saw the warship fighting fiercely between the two sides on the sea, he knew that this time it was a plan.

"General, what should I do? The pursuers behind are getting closer and closer. Some of the Dongwu sailors asked Huang Gai with some trepidation.

Originally, they thought that they would be able to return to the warship after leaving Haixi City, but now, even the warship has been driven away, doesn't that mean that they have lost even the only chance to escape?

Huang Gai also knew that what he had to do now was to stabilize the morale of the army, and once the morale of the army was chaotic, nothing could be done. "Don't panic, everyone, see that there is no over there, there are a hundred warships of the Celestial Empire there, let's go and seize it, and then take this opportunity to go back."

Pointing to the Celestial Empire's naval warships that had been on the seashore for about a mile, Huang Gai said loudly.

These hundred warships docked here as early as when the Dongwu Navy appeared here, which should have been left by Jia Xu for their own escape. At that time, it did not attract Lu Meng's attention because all the soldiers of the Eastern Wu Navy had a warship seat, but now, this has indeed become the only life-saving straw for Huang Gai who wants to escape.

As soon as he heard Huang Gai say that he wanted to occupy the ships of the Celestial Empire, the more than 60,000 soldiers behind him had no scruples and sped up towards the hundred warships, and when they arrived at the seaside, many people began to take off their armor, throw their weapons on their bodies, and then plunge headlong into the sea.

As a qualified sailor, the ability to survive on the water is naturally good, but after all, there is a mile away, if it is not so easy to swim over with a load, except for a few soldiers who can do it, most people still have to throw down heavy equipment to do it.

Seeing that there were so many soldiers heading towards the Celestial Empire warship that had been parked here for many days, Huang Gai was really sober-minded and did not rush forward immediately, but still persuaded a large number of Dongwu naval troops and said: "Don't worry, let these brothers go over to explore the way first." ”

Huang Gai is a cautious approach, because many of the Dongwu naval forces did not bring any weapons in the past, he is worried that once there are people in those warships, he is afraid that it will be difficult to resist, even so, it is better to look at the situation first, if it is found that there are Celestial Empire naval forces in these ships, then he is quickly thinking of other ways.

Many soldiers understood what the general meant, and they stood on the beach and stopped to look. But it wasn't until they saw the brothers who swam past first, and climbed onto the warship by the hanging ladder without the slightest obstacle, and were already controlling the situation there, that they finally put their minds at ease, and this time without waiting for Huang Gai to give the order, someone had already jumped into the water and swam towards those warships.

There were more than 60,000 people, and there were indeed 100 warships, and only a few hundred people were needed on one ship, and Huang Gai knew that his army might be saved. Of course, he also had a happy expression on his face, and with the protection and assistance of some personal soldiers, he also swam towards the warship a mile away.

For a time, the seaside was particularly lively, and more than 60,000 people were like water ducks swimming towards the sea first, and then crawling towards the hundred warships abandoned here by the Celestial Empire.

When Jia Xu arrived here with a large number of soldiers of the Celestial Empire Waterway Legion, he saw the scene where Huang Gai had already boarded the warship.

Seeing that the pursued enemy actually got on his own warship, the deputy commander of the navy, Jia Ni, said a little anxiously, "They are going to escape, military advisor, what should we do?" ”

"Don't rush." However, Jia Xu, the military advisor who was asked, did not look anxious or panicked, but his expression was indeed a little hesitant.

To say that with Jia Xu's resourcefulness, he would definitely not leave these hundred warships here to do useless work. Some people may think that this is part of his suspicious plan, but only he knows very well in his heart that leaving this warship itself is a trap.

It's just that this trap was supposed to give the invading Dongwu Navy a head-on blow, but he never thought that Lu Meng was very careful and never wanted to occupy those ships, and these hundred warships did not play a role.

Just when Jia Xu also thought that these warships would not play a role, Huang Gai actually fled with people, so he was not worried. But the reason why there was some hesitation in his expression was because it was more than 60,000 lives, and if they were all killed at once, would it be too cruel?

Yes, what Jia Xu wanted was to blow up all these Dongwu naval troops. The reason why he has such confidence is entirely because among the hundreds of warships, he has already arranged for people to bury explosives, and even in each warship, there are several soldiers of the Celestial Empire Navy at the bottom of the cabin, guarding next to those explosives.

This matter was extremely private, because he was afraid of leaking secrets, Jia Xu didn't even tell the deputy commander of the regiment.

"Forget it, war is cruel, either you kill me, or I kill you, I am saying, this time they took the initiative to provoke, I shouldn't bear any psychological burden." After Jia Xulian, who seemed to be talking to himself, said a few words, and then said to a personal soldier beside him: "Blow the horn and assemble the array!" ”

"Huh? Promise! The pro-soldiers were also a little confused by this unfinished sentence. At this time, the first thing to think about should be how to intercept the enemy here, rather than to gather in a formation.

It's just that Jia Xu is a military division, and he is also a two-way army of the three legions and the waterway legion, which is the only one in the entire Celestial Empire, so it can be seen that his status is high, even if it is an order given by him, as a pro-soldier, he naturally only needs to obey.

After the soldiers agreed, they went down to make arrangements, and soon the deafening sound of the horn sounded, and for a time the waves spread far away with the seaside as the center.

"What are they going to do?" Huang Gai, who had already boarded the warship, was instinctively startled when he heard the sound of the horn coming from the shore, but when he saw Jia Xu gathering the army, he couldn't help laughing, "These Celestial Empire sailors are a little interesting, we are at sea, they are on land, they gather and think they can really threaten us?" Leave them alone, control the ships and retreat immediately, we have to get out of here. ”

Huang Gai had noticed that more than ten miles away from them, the Dongwu Navy was being blocked and killed by the Celestial Empire Navy, although he didn't know why this battle was commanded by Lu Meng like this, but now General Huang Gai still wants to escape from here first, only when he is safe, can he think about other things.

It's just that Huang Gai is still a little too self-righteous, he thinks that he is safe now, but he really doesn't know that the existence of these Celestial Dynasty warships here is a huge trap. Because when the sound of the horn came, the Celestial Empire naval army at the bottom of the hundred warships had already ignited the explosives at the bottom of the cabin according to the plan.

The so-called sound of the horn is a signal to do it. Now that Jia Xu has given the order, as a soldier, he naturally only needs to obey. After quickly igniting the explosives in the boat, they left the boat and swam into the water through the prepared passage, swimming as fast as they could, because no one knew if the explosives would suddenly sound.

The lead was long, and it was meant to leave more time for the retreat. If Huang Gai could be more careful and arrange someone to check it carefully, there might be a chance to find out, but as soon as these Dongwu troops who were chased all the way got on the ship, except for sending some people to control the movement of the ship, the others were all sitting on the deck of the warship, and at this moment, a good rest was what they needed to do the most.

General Huang Gai didn't think there was anything wrong with this, they had already controlled the ship, even if it was like this, what would it be if it wasn't safe?

"There is no endless road." At this moment, Huang Gai couldn't help but let out such a sound of emotion, they thought it would be difficult to leave, but now they escaped, but they also hijacked a hundred warships of the Celestial Empire, which can be regarded as a kind of trophies.

Huang Gai still had an expression of excitement and joy on his face, but he really didn't know that the Grim Reaper was getting closer and closer to him, and even if he could find those explosives now, it would be too late to clean up and deal with them.

Lu Meng was on the warship, watching everything that Huang Gai led the army to board the ship, and after watching these sailors escape to the Celestial Empire and defeat, he couldn't help but wave his fist violently and said, "Good job." ”

Huang Gai and the others successfully got on the boat and sailed away safely, which made the high heart in Lu Meng's heart can't help but let go.

Although this battle can be regarded as a failure, it is still beneficial to be able to reduce some losses. The most important thing is that General Huang Gai captured a hundred Celestial Empire warships, which is what makes Lu Meng the most happy, just now after seeing the Celestial Empire's double-clamped battle array, he really wanted to get ordinary enemy ships to study, and now with these hundred warships, he is confident that he will understand everything.

Lu Meng was rejoicing, thinking that the current result could be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, when suddenly at the sound of his vision, a huge firelight flashed, and then one after another huge fireballs appeared, flashing so that his eyes were so bright that he couldn't open them.
