Chapter 461: The grace of saving lives, with a personal promise
Ji Yuhang's face darkened: "I know, don't talk much." ”
Seeing Ji Yuhang's attitude, the adjutant didn't want to say anything more, so he closed his mouth, quietly took a small step back, and decided not to care about the matter anymore.
Because of the repeated attacks of small warships, Ji Yuhang's warship team was already a little chaotic at this time, almost every warship was shouting that the ship was leaking here, or the ship was leaking over there, and the shipwrights who were responsible for repairing the warship were also busy like ants on a hot pot, but Xiao Xiantang's small warships were too many, and they attacked fearlessly to death, causing damage to the warship, where can these shipwrights repair it?
Even, in order to blow up those small warships, some warships kept firing artillery, and the artillery did not necessarily hit those small warships, but instead shot at their own people's warships on the opposite side, and the warships on the opposite side thought it was an enemy attack, so they began to shoot back, so for a while, they couldn't tell whether they were friends or foes, and only heard a ghost crying wolf.
Yan Hongxin's Dinghai also took advantage of this chaos to get close to Ji Yuhang's warship team, because the size of the warships of the two sides is very different, so after the warship team of the Dinghai Navy is close to Ji Yuhang's warship team, there is no way to directly forcibly take overboard, so they can only wait until they get close, and then throw it on the warship led by Ji Yuhang and throw iron claws, and after hooking the ship's side, let the Dinghai soldiers climb up by the rope.
Ji Yuhang's side has already been in chaos, although someone found that the Ding Navy soldiers were climbing up, but there were too many Ding Navy soldiers climbing, and they were all afraid of death, so even if they pushed down one, they quickly climbed up to many, so the entire naval warship team led by Ji Yuhang was in a mess, and the morale was completely gone, it could be said that they were defeated before the battle, and the situation suddenly turned upside down.
When Ji Yuhang saw Yan Hongxin on the deck, he immediately bent his bow, intending to shoot Yan Hongxin.
However, Yan Hongxin was very vigilant, keenly aware of the strangeness behind him, and narrowly avoided the bow and arrow shot by Ji Yuhang.
"Yan Hongxin, a thief, dares to attack us!" Ji Yuhang said and pulled up his bow again.
Yan Hongxin hid behind a shield raised from the soldiers, he guessed that Ji Yuhang at this time should have been brainwashed by the state capital, thinking that they were going to rebel against the navy, but it could also be pulling the tiger skin as a big banner and talking nonsense.
"What the state government does, who is a soldier and who is a coward, Ji Yuhang knows it well, but he wants to act for the tiger and be a minister in vain." Yan Hongxin shouted.
When Ji Yuhang heard this, he was immediately annoyed and angry, but the corners of his mouth and beard trembled, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.
That's right, what did the state capital do, what is the whole Yanzhou like, and even what is the purpose of the existence of this Longtong County, Ji Yuhang has been here in the Yanzhou capital for many years, how can it be unclear, he also struggled, but finally decided to go with the flow.
That is, because of his drift, when he heard Yan Hongxin's sentence "being a minister in vain", it can be said that it was like a blade piercing the heart, which reminded him of Ling Yunzhi who was loyal to the country when he was at the border.
After so many years of following the crowd, he always thought that he had forgotten, and now that he was mentioned, he suddenly realized that he remembered everything at all, but deliberately did not mention it.
He also thought that Yan Hongxin, who had endured for many years, was also like him, thinking that everyone was the same, and that he was helpless.
However, Yan Hongxin's sentence of "being a minister in vain" completely shattered this illusion and made him understand that there is nothing helpless, there is no last resort to go with the flow, but he violated his own promise of Ling Yunzhi, and blamed this on helplessness.
"What qualifications do you have to reprimand me, we have never won, but I have won!" Ji Yuhang shouted, as if he was making a reason for himself.
Yan Hongxin didn't speak, just looked at Ji Yuhang with pity, Ji Yuhang at this time was no longer the young general he looked up to at the beginning, Ji Yuhang at this time was a poor worm who didn't have the courage to resist the state capital, but wanted to find all the excuses.
The pity in Yan Hongxin's eyes undoubtedly became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Ji Yuhang frantically shouted for a group of soldiers to shoot arrows and kill the Ding Navy led by Yan Hongxin.
However, the current situation is that the Ding Navy led by Yan Hongxin and the Navy led by Ji Yuhang are mixed together, if they shoot on the deck from above, they can't tell who is the enemy and who is their own family, but even so, Ji Yuhang still insists on letting the archers above shoot arrows, so the navy, which was already demoralized, suddenly lost the slightest will to fight and began to flee.
"Go on! Don't stop, shoot them all at me! Ji Yuhang roared angrily.
The archers behind Ji Yuhang looked ugly one by one, questioning Ji Yuhang's decision-making, feeling that Ji Yuhang didn't take their lives seriously, and some archers began to slack off, delaying the frequency of drawing the bow and shooting arrows as much as possible, or simply deliberately shooting off.
Ji Yuhang noticed that a young archer was dodging, deliberately aimed the bow and arrow in his hand in the air, snatched the bow and arrow, and then tripped the young archer to the ground, directly stabbed him in the chest with the bow and arrow, and then pulled it out.
As he drew his bow and arrows, blood immediately gushed out and splashed on his face, and he stood up with a hideous face, raised the bow and arrow, and gritted his teeth at the archers: "Whoever dares to fish in troubled waters will end up like him!" ”
After saying that, he broke the bow and arrow in his hand with all his strength, and threw it viciously on the ground as a clear will.
With Ji Yuhang's move, those archers really didn't dare to deliberately miss, and for a while, the originally sparse arrow rain instantly became dense.
Yan Hongxin was protected by the soldiers behind the shield, looked at the soldiers in front of him who were hit by several arrows in the legs, still protected him without moving, gritted his teeth fiercely, grabbed a team leader, and said: "I will stay here, take the newcomers, try to go around the back, except those archers, do not need to leave them alive, kill, kill them all." ”
Yan Hongxin gave an order, before that, he even had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Ji Yuhang would wake up and negotiate peace with him, after all, everyone was paid for the military and worked for the imperial court, not those vicious pirates, there was no need to fight to the death.
However, now Yan Hongxin will not think like that, because he already understands that he, who is determined to be the enemy of the state capital, and Ji Yuhang, who has long chosen to go with the flow, have long stood on the opposite side.
