Chapter 275: Only Jumping the River
Yi Sunsin didn't dwell on it for long, and the rout on the north bank appeared in his field of vision.
Yi Sunsin couldn't imagine that this was an army of 50,000 people, and they had to transport grain every few days, but they released the beacon fire to mean that they were so defeated? What did they encounter?
Don't worry about it, it's no longer necessary to transport grain. Li Sunsin has an even more difficult task, that is, how to find a way to extradite these tens of thousands of soldiers back, which is the territory of the Song Dynasty! Although the Song Dynasty had been weak for a long time, it really allowed them to annihilate these 50,000 people, which was unimaginable for their morale and confidence in the whole country.
Yi Sunsin immediately issued a series of orders: "The whole army retreats!" Rain of arrows suppressed! Boat No. 10 escaped by jumping into the water, and after the whole army turned around, it was rammed and sunk! ”
In the swirling turbulent river, diving to escape is a matter of risk, and the turning of the fleet is an extremely technical thing, but for these elite sailors selected from the navy, it is not impossible to do.
Only the so-called arrow rain suppression is of no use to the two people who boarded the ship! All the arrows that can be dangerous to them are blocked by their weapons with precision and speed, and this precise eyesight is undoubtedly that of the ancient generals!
Yi Sunsin watched them jump back into the boat, and then quickly left the battlefield down the river, causing Yi Sunsin's attempt to turn around and hit him in vain.
But before it was over, the opponent's red sail was raised, and he quickly turned around flexibly, and then the oars were full swing and went upstream. At this time, Yi Sunsin's fleet completed the U-turn without danger and began to go downstream.
The two sides staggered one by one!
Yi Sunsin felt a chill in his heart - the other party went around to the back of the fleet again!
Upstream hits downstream! This is the same as the upwind in naval warfare, this is an absolute crushing maneuver advantage, the upwind can easily gather a few ships to concentrate forces on a single ship downwind, and the downwind ships become less mobile, and can only watch their own side being broken by each one!
And now Yi Sunsin is being broken by each of the opponents - the opponent's iron anchor grabbed the mast of the No. 9 ship with a "clang"!
What can Yi Sun-sin do? There is no way to save! In the rapids here, it is dangerous for friendly boats to get close to each other.
This is the water of the West River, and it is an existence that is difficult for Yi Sunsin, who is a citizen of the peninsula, to control. In the past, Yi Sunsin was still laughing at the stupidity of Cao Cao's serial warships in the Battle of Chibi, but now how Li Sunsin wished that he was a serial warship that could move his horses, and concentrated a few hundred troops to fight.
The only way now is to immediately order: "Boat Nine jumped into the river to escape!" ”
Instead of being killed by these two fierce gods, you can save as many troops as you can save to escape from the river.
Yi Sunsin is fluent in Chinese, and although he vaguely guesses the identity of the other party from the red sail and red robe, he wants to ask who the other party is. But he didn't dare, for fear that he would expose his position as a coach if he asked.
"Boat No. 7 jumped into the river!"
"Boat No. 5 jumped into the river!"
Then, Yi Sunsin's warship was also targeted. Yi Sunsin is an excellent coach, but he is not an outstanding martial artist, it cannot be the opponent of these two killing gods, the only thing Yi Sunsin can do is to strip off his armor and prepare to jump into the river.
But at this moment, the leader of the neighboring No. 4 ship loyally shouted: "Don't jump in a hurry, my lord, I will cover your retreat!" ”
After saying that, he desperately turned the boat sideways in the torrent to block the enemy!
Yi Sunsin's face turned pale, and he didn't know whether to scold him or thank him, didn't he expose his position as the coach by sacrificing himself so hard?
