Chapter 79: Escape back to Yuezhou
However, it was said that Ma Yin's Hunan Navy watched the barbarians run away through the iron cable in a red horse boat, and they were still stopped by the iron cable, and they were anxious.
He also desperately sent out a fireboat to burn the iron cable.
The Shazhou defenders and the Hunan Navy launched an attack on Shishou Mountain.
Zhao Chenggui, who had caught up behind, had already pushed the pile of capsized ships to the shore and cleared the channel for himself.
Leaving a dozen battleships to fight the fire and collect the prisoners.
He continued to chase with the fleet.
Seeing Lei Yangong's flagship in front, he immediately commanded the battleship to approach and board the ship.
There was no resistance on the flagship.
When I asked, I found out that Lei Yangong had already run away in a red horse boat.
After Zhao Chenggui collected hundreds of warships in a row, he saw that the Hunan Navy in front of him was still attacking Shazhou Water Village.
Oh, what a guts!
Lei Yangong has run away, and you are still fighting in the water village and looking for death.
"Set fire, release the boat!"
After all, these ships are all captured, and it is not distressing to burn a dozen or twenty old ships.
Dozens of fire dragons emitted black smoke and went straight down the river and crashed towards the Hunan Navy.
The waterway on the left and right of the sandbar was narrow, and at first their boat was still outside the waterway, but when Lei Yangong ran away in a red horse boat, they were also anxious. The ships poured into the waterway, blocking the entire waterway.
These two dozen old boats were in flames, and a dozen of them were squeezed into a waterway.
Immediately, the flames soared into the air, and the tongues of fire licked wildly.
A dozen warships behind the fleet were immediately set on fire.
Hunan soldiers hurriedly put out the fire.
Jingnan's warships also approached, rocks flying sideways, and arrows rained down.
Where do the soldiers still have the heart to put out the fire?
They all jumped into the water and swam to the warship in front.
The ship is too close, and when the fire is roasted, the people can't stand it, and the ship can't do it.
Soon, smoke billowed from the waterways on both sides of the sandbar.
The Hunan navy cleverly dived and swam in the direction of the sandbank, and when they came ashore, they knelt down and surrendered, and they did not resist.
If you surrender, you can still live, but if you resist or escape, it is basically a dead end.
However, it was said that Qin Yanhui and Huang Fan, who were on the ship of the flagship building, saw that they could not do anything, and secretly hated Lei Yangong in their hearts, which affected their own success and failure.
Huang Fan saw this situation, and if he didn't run again, he was afraid that he would have to explain here.
"General Qin, it's impossible to do anything, let's go quickly, leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, go quickly."
Qin Yanhui has always won battles, where has there ever been such a fiasco?
There is unwillingness.
Looking at the fire and smoke billowing from the rear of the fleet, he knew that this time it was a complete defeat. I haven't heard that Jingnan has such a capable sailor!
Careless, careless!
He was still regretting it, but Huang Fan had already asked Qin Yanhui to get off the boat.
They also ran downstream in a red horse boat.
The other generals have all run away, so when will you not run now?!
Run.
Dozens of red horse boats ran out of both waterways.
As for the generals in the middle and rear of the fleet, they were not so lucky.
They couldn't run if they wanted to, and the warship was so crowded that they couldn't let go of the red horse boat at all, and they couldn't pass through.
So what to do?
Cold.
The ships waved their white flags and surrendered.
Zhao Chenggui saw that the other party surrendered, and waved the flag to put out the fire.
Pull the fireboats to the shore outside the waterway and let them burn slowly.
As for those who surrendered their troops to generals, they laid down their weapons and went to the sandbar in small boats, waiting for reorganization.
In this battle, Zhao Chenggui didn't expect such a result.
His strategy of fire attack can be said to be the right time and place, and everything is providential.
Today, more than 300 warships have been collected, and more than 15,000 sailors have been captured and surrendered.
Disarmed, these enemy forces are harmless, reorganize the ships, transport the troops to Shishou Castle, and reorganize the troops here.
And he himself took 100 fighting ships, went down the river, and went straight to Yuezhou.
said that Qin Yanhui and Huang Fan, who were on a red horse boat, turned over the river and the sea in the Jingjiang River, drifting all the way.
Along the way, they saw a lot of capsized red horse boats and corpses.
Seeing the boat capsized beside him, he had no ability to rescue them, so he could only watch them drown.
The sky was getting dark, and it was pitch black all around, and only the river wind was howling and the waves were undulating. None of the dozen or so people on the boat spoke, drowsy and dazed on the boat.
Qin Yanhui and Huang Fan were relatively speechless, the night was dim and dark at this time, and they couldn't see each other, which saved embarrassment.
In the past few years, Qin Yanhui has been in the limelight and will win every battle.
Now it is almost defeated and died, and it cannot be said that feng shui takes turns.
Huang Fan is the commander of the navy, and there is no one in the water battle like this.
He had the heart to die, but seeing that Qin Yanhui was also on the boat, he went to the mind of dying, the sky fell and there was a tall man on top, isn't there still General Chang Sheng? What are you afraid of?!
In this way, the foggy sky gradually brightened.
The soldiers were also tired, but now they were fleeing for their lives, gritting their teeth and persevering.
When they looked back at the upstream river, black spots had already appeared, and they were terrified, and the speed of the oars was a little faster.
Zhao Chenggui's 100 brigs went down the river at extremely fast speed.
Although they set off late, they were still driven by sails at night, so when the sky was slightly bright, they could already see dozens of red horse boats wandering in the river in the distance.
"Chase."
At the sound of an order, the whole sail was erected, and the swaying soldiers in the bilge all exerted their strength, and the fighting ship shot downstream like an arrow from the string.
An hour later, Zhao Chenggui could see the specific number of people on the red horse boat in front of him.
The Red Horse Boat General Zuo in the back drew his horizontal knife and shouted at the rowing soldiers.
The soldiers who were lucky enough to get on the boat and escape for their lives also used their strength to eat, and the red horse boat was already brisk, plus these people played with their lives, which made them a little faster.
After a long time, the red horse boat will not work.
Since there was no one to replace, the boat was rowing slower and slower, and the Jingnan Dou ship that followed behind was getting closer and closer.
"General, they're catching up."
"Alas, God is damn me!"
Qin Yanhui looked at the vast river, and then looked at the cliffs on the shore, he had nowhere to run if he wanted to.
There was no way, he could only put down his body and paddle with his own hands.
Huang Fan was helpless and followed suit.
Turning a bay, the river is turbulent, and the red horse boat passes through the waves like an arrow.
"Report to the general, the front is going to the mouth of the Jingjiang River!"
"Huh? Okay, keep it up! ”
Zhao Chenggui, who was following behind, looked ahead, and he knew that he would arrive in Yuezhou soon.
He didn't pay attention to these red horse boats at all, he was thinking about a bigger plan.
Turning the bay, Yuezhou's water village stands more than ten miles away.
"Keep it up, I'll be home soon!"
Qin Yanhui and Huang Fan were very excited, and in front of them was their own territory.
Yuezhou was beaten down by Qin Yanhui, and he is now the assassin of Yuezhou.
When they looked back, the black-pressed fleet of fighting ships was already miles away from them.
"Quick, quick, it's coming soon."
Yuezhou Water Village is located at the mouth of the river, which is still some distance away from Yuezhou City.
Zhao Chenggui smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the fighting ship quickly approached the red horse boat in front.
The soldiers in the boat were still rowing their oars.
"Shoot."
Woo Woo Woo ~ Covered by a rain of arrows, the red horse boat spun in place, and everyone on board died before stepping into the water village.
Seeing that the Jingnan Dou ship was chasing after him, he also shot the soldiers behind.
Qin Yanhui and Huang Fan, who were running in front, turned pale with fright, this is over.
At the time of despair, the golden drums of Yueyang Water Village sounded in unison.
Kill a team of warships and let Qin Yanhui's red horse boat over.
The two sides did not talk to each other, and the two teams of warships set up a position in front of the water village.
More than a dozen red horse boats finally sailed into the water village, and a sailor army greeted them.
Seeing that it was Huang Fan, the commander of the navy, and Qin Yanhui, the assassin of Yuezhou, they were all surprised, and hurriedly picked them up from the red horse boat and returned to the lobby of the water village.
At this time, Qin Yanhui and Huang Fan were already sweating and embarrassed.
The remaining naval army general Zuo hurriedly welcomed the two high-ranking officials into the inner hall and washed and changed their clothes for them.
At this point, Qin Yanhui breathed a sigh of relief, and he was considered to have survived.
The two were gobbling up the food, and heard the horn of the village and the sound of golden drums.
Qin Yanhui and Huang Fan were taken aback.
Put down your chopsticks and run out.
Climb the watchtower and see that your fleet has retreated to the water village.
On the surface of the river, it is black and oppressive.
"What's going on?!"
"Envoy, Jing Xiang's reinforcements have arrived."
