Chapter Ninety-Six: Asking for Foreign Aid
After defeating this second-rate garrison of the enemy, Shi Jinshui and the others did not stop, and when all the marines and war elephants were back on board, they immediately went up the river and continued to bombard the rebel cities built by the river. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since in ancient times, most human beings lived by water, so there are really many cities built on the riverside. Shi Jinshui bombarded all the way, burned and looted all the way, and turned the rear of the rebel army upside down.
By the time the leaders of the rebels reacted, the damage had been staggering. In order to avoid causing further losses, the rebels had to quickly mobilize 300,000 sailors and go to the rear to prepare to destroy this enemy fleet. Yes, it is a navy, not a navy, which is also normal, at this time in the Chinese region, there is not much attention to the sea at all, so there are only some naval units that can only fight in inland rivers, and it is not at all like New Carthage, which has established a huge naval fleet capable of ocean voyages. Therefore, although this naval force has more than 300 large and small warships, in the eyes of the Neo-Carthaginian navy, it is simply a pile of rags, and under their powerful artillery fire, this enemy army will probably not even have a chance to rush in front of them, and will be completely annihilated.
But the rebel army didn't know the huge difference in strength between the two sides! In their opinion, they have so many warships, and they can kill the enemy just by their numbers! In addition, Zhang Jianren, the general of the rebel army who was appointed as the commander of the naval army, was simply a rookie who had little experience in water warfare. After the battle began, he directly let his ships gather in a stupid group and rush forward. He thought he was clever enough to put the smaller ships on the periphery and the larger ones in the middle, so that even if the enemy opened up a bombardment, he could only sink the cannon fodder boats outside, while the big ships inside could be saved, and they would get close to the enemy warships and launch a broadside battle to effectively kill and injure the enemy.
If he had ever seen the tragic end of the Killing Fleet in the Battle of Crescent Island, he would never have done it.
As for the New Carthage navy, seeing the enemy forces so cooperatively put on such a death-seeking formation, of course, it would not be polite, and the airships and windbreaker gliders carried on those battleships took off one after another, and after flying over the opponent's fleet, they threw high-explosive bombs at the fleet.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! With a loud explosion, the entire fleet of the rebel army soon fell into a sea of fire, because of the wonderful formation laid by the rebel general Li Jianren, the rebel generals who mostly stayed on those large warships, could not pull out of this sea of fire for a while because of the large number of small boats on the periphery. Under the constant bombardment of the New Carthage Air Force, this delay is fatal enough, as long as it fails to rush out at the first time, it will soon be engulfed by fire.
"Whew! Sure enough, it's still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste! This made me feel like I was back in the day of the Battle of Crescent Island! A New Carthaginian Air Force veteran said with emotion as he smelled the smell of roast meat wafting up from below.
However, not everyone is as comfortable as these veterans, and those recruits who have never seen this kind of scene before are disgusted by the scene below. After all, that's more than 300 warships! There were 300,000 enemy troops on it, and watching so many living people scurrying around in the fire, screaming and screaming, knowing that the last bit was cooked, and then completely burned into a pile of coke, that scene could really be called terrible.
"It's really hateful! The first merit was robbed by those air forces again! On the river, the artillerymen on a Jiaolong-class battleship were operating their own cannons and sinking a small enemy warship that had escaped from the fire in their sight, while muttering to themselves with a depressed face. You must know that this time the navy specially transferred these warships that had just been equipped with new guns to Asia, just to grab some credit, but who knew that the commander of the enemy army was so idiotic that the air force easily cleaned up the enemy's main force, so that their navy could only fight soy sauce. And because the Asian side generally does not attach much importance to the naval forces, this batch of fleets is probably already the enemy's entire naval forces, and after defeating them, it will be difficult for the navy to find an opportunity to make meritorious contributions in battle.
After hearing that Liu Bang and the leaders of the rebel army heard that the 300,000 sailors sent by their own side were completely annihilated by the enemy in one day, they couldn't help but be shocked. Just as Shi Jinshui guessed, this fleet is already all the naval forces in their hands, once they are defeated, they will have no strength to fight back, and they can only let the enemy's fleet wreak havoc in their rear.
"It can't go on like this! Once the enemy's two armies converge, our army will surely be defeated! ”
"That's right! It's time to figure it out! ”
"If there is a way, I have one, those Donghu people came to contact us some time ago, saying that they were willing to fight against the tyrannical Qin with us. If you can agree to ally with them, those Donghu people will be able to attack those Qin people from outside the pass, and when the Qin people are caught off guard, they will definitely lose a lot of troops. At that time, our side will also launch an attack together, and there should be more than eighty percent chance of attacking Qin and completely destroying the tyrannical Qin. As soon as the tyrannical Qin is destroyed, the enemy will only have the navy in the rear, and when the time comes, we can hit the forces first, rebuild the navy, and then slowly clean up the other side. ”
This is a feasible solution, but I'm afraid that it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God! After those Donghu come in, they may not want to leave! ”
"What time is it? Where can you take care of these, it is only right to destroy the tyrannical Qin first! ”
After some deliberation, the leaders of the rebel army finally decided on this plan to ask for foreign help. While sending envoys to contact those Donghu people, they secretly prepared for war, preparing to send troops together at the same time as the Donghu people launched an offensive, striving to level Qin in a battle.
What made these rebel leaders excited was that those Donghu people agreed to this matter in one mouth, and then half a month later, they sent 200,000 troops to attack Qin from outside the pass. And along the way, it can be said that he was invincible, and almost encountered any obstacles, he fought all the way to the front of Hangu Pass, and attacked the rebel army before and after, and captured this extremely powerful Xiongguan in one fell swoop.
After capturing Hangu Pass, these rebel leaders hurriedly led their armies to enter the pass, so as to fight to Xianyang as soon as possible, kill the Qin king Fusu, and completely destroy the Qin regime. At this time, only a very small number of people felt that all this was really smooth, and it was a bit too much. However, because most of the leaders of the rebel army were anxious to attack Xianyang and take the lead in destroying Qin, even if these people expressed their concerns, they did not take them to heart.
However, just after the rebels entered the Hangu Pass, the Donghu people on the pass immediately sneered and slammed the gate to death. At the same time, the soldiers of Qin and New Carthage, who were supposed to have been defeated, came out of front of them one after another, completely blocking the road ahead. To put it simply, they were shut down by the enemy and beaten by the dogs.
On top of the wall, Shi Jinshui patted the shoulder of Dajiba, the leader of Donghu beside him, with a smile on his face, and said, "You are really good people!" I voluntarily joined the United Nations and helped us trap this hateful group of rebels, and when the battle is over, I will definitely reward you well! ”
"King Shi Jinshui is really too polite, punishing traitors and eliminating evil and maintaining world peace is the obligation of every righteous-minded earthling! We Donghu people are naturally no exception, the so-called peace can promote development, can end the war as soon as possible, let the world return to peace, we Donghu people are willing to sacrifice their meager strength! In the face of Shi Jinshui's praise, Dajiba, the king of Donghu, looked modest, but he knew how powerful this new Carthage was, and the old overlord of the Western Regions, Wusun Kingdom, was strong! But it was destroyed by the Neo-Carthaginians in minutes, and the previous Yueshi people hung it! But because they offended the other party, there were not a few people left, and there were also their original rivals of the Donghu people, the Huns, who were beaten by the Neo-Carthaginians in the first battle, and had to move to the northern snowfields with extremely harsh climates. So in order to avoid himself from following in the footsteps of those guys, this guy secretly took refuge in the New Carthaginians early, and this time those rebel leaders stupidly sent people to contact him, and he was even more in the right place, he simply made an appointment with Shi Jinshui and Fusu, and played such a good show in front of those rebels. Otherwise, although the Qin State is already seriously injured, it is absolutely impossible for the Donghu people to attack the Qin Land so easily, otherwise it is really a decoration for the Great Wall defense line built by the Qin State with a huge amount of manpower and material resources!
"Damn it! We have fallen for the Qin people's scheme, and those cunning Donghu people have actually colluded with the Qin people! In the face of this change, even if those rebel leaders were stupid, they reacted, and their faces immediately changed drastically.
At this time, there was a shout from the New Carthaginian army on the opposite side: "Listen to the rebels on the opposite side, you have been completely surrounded, now lay down your arms and surrender, you can avoid death!" ”
As the words fell, a new type of gun, which had just been removed from the battleship, was pushed out of the enemy's battle formation or from the wall, and the muzzles of the guns were all aimed at the rebels who were surrounded in the middle.
"Don't fire! I give up! I give up! Faced with this desperate situation, Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, who had already been given almost empty of power by the Xiang clan, immediately took the lead in shouting surrender.
After the king of Chu, Han Cheng, the weakest of the rebels, also surrendered.
Shi Jinshui watched these rebel leaders surrender one after another on the wall, and he couldn't help but show a smile of victory on his face, but just when he thought the general situation had been decided. Xiang Yu suddenly took out his bow and arrow, and shot Xiong Xin, the king of Chu who had just surrendered and was walking towards the New Carthage army, and then led a group of his subordinates to charge the New Carthage army desperately.
Poor Xiong Xin, although he became the king of Chu for a few more days because of the butterfly effect caused by Shi Jinshui, he still couldn't escape the fate of being killed by Xiang Yu in the end. I really don't know if he should thank Shi Jinshui or hate the other party. After all, if Shi Jinshui hadn't come to Asia so quickly, maybe this thing would have been able to live forever and finally spend the rest of his life safely!
