Chapter 401: Destroying the withered and decaying

"Damn, I can't catch it in one round, and I dare to be arrogant with this kind of goods?" Chao Gai's face was calm, and he skillfully operated the bed crossbow to aim, and he couldn't help but curse when he saw the soldiers on the opposite warship behaving badly.

He quickly changed the card slot to correct the crossbow arrows, and the muscles of his arms bulged and pulled the thick noose. Squeak, almost instantaneously, was buckled into place, and one person arrived at a group, making the eyelids of the guards who were ready to help jump next to him.

What a terrible power, is this still a person?

The Dengzhou Navy Division, the Ping Navy, was responsible for patrolling the coastal waters and guarding the Liao State across the bay, and by the way to protect the safety of the caravan, it really made a difference when it was first established. It's just that now the river is declining and has become notorious.

Zou's uncle and nephew once said that Dengzhou sailors would chase and intercept private business gangs when they encountered them, and it was common for people to kill people and sell goods. After being arrested, they will not only order their families to send money to ransom people, but also sell the ships and goods of private merchants, and if they don't have money, they will be miserable, and they will either be thrown into prison or killed.

In the past, when a caravan ran into this team, it would also be extorted. This is considered lucky, and if you are unlucky, you will be slandered as a private businessman.

The people dare not speak out in anger, and they have deep resentment.

However, officials protect each other, and there is no place to complain about grievances.

So from the beginning of the conflict, the Chao family army really showed no mercy to his subordinates. Archers aim at the enemy and shoot at each other, and people are constantly screaming when they are hit by arrows. Some people were even planted in the sea, and blood stained a body of water.

"The battleships are on guard on the perimeter, and the other ships are rushing me."

When the two fleets were about to meet, the fleet commander Ruan Xiaoqi gave a loud order. Flags of all colors waved and trumpets sounded. Several large ships of thousands of materials suppressed the fire on the periphery, guarding against another team. More than 20 swordfish ships of five or seven hundred materials increased in speed, approaching the enemy ship like arrows from a string, but when they saw a collision, they suddenly slowed down and began to engage the ship.

"Brothers, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and capture the strongman."

"Kill, make a contribution today, charge with me."

The crossbowmen on each ship suppressed the fire in the rear, and the sword and shield men took cover in the front. The sailors carried the planks and quickly boarded the ship, and in the shouting of killing, Han Shizhong, Chen Hu and other generals took the lead and led the team to leap onto the ship.

Hu Sanniang and Yelu Taribi also led female soldiers to board the ship to fight. The thrilling scene that had annoyed them before turned into tigresses. Stretch out your hand to be vigorous, faster than the sailors, cut your head, and start more ruthlessly.

A group of scrambled to rush onto the boat, all dressed in military uniforms and leather armor, each carrying swords and guns or raising shields, murderous. The shield-bearer was in front, and the spearman followed, daring to resist and poke directly.

It was only at this time that the Dengzhou Navy Division saw the enemy clearly and was sure that it was an official army.

"We are Dengzhou Sailors, stop quickly, do you want to rebel?"

"Bold, Somali pirates dare to quibble, why attack government ships?"

"That's it, I think they are fake Dengzhou sailors."

Many soldiers in the Dengzhou Navy Battalion trembled, but they said yes with their identities. The soldiers of the quarreling army also ridiculed each other and buttoned the strongman's big hat to the end. The heart stops and the knife stops, and the thunder means to clean up the area.

As more and more soldiers boarded the ship, it was unstoppable.

The Dengzhou Naval Division had no one to command, the number was at a disadvantage, and it was cold to be killed. It is conceivable that it will collapse at the first touch, no, there is simply no decent resistance, the soldiers of the Chao family army shouted "disarm and surrender, hold their heads and squat on the ground", some people are very wise and bachelors throw away their weapons and choose to surrender.

Someone takes the lead, someone follows suit.

It spread like a contagion, and more and more soldiers lost their weapons. Even if some officers organized a rebellion, it was in vain.

As long as you dare to raise your head, as long as you shout loudly, you will either be cut to the ground, or you will be grabbed by the neck or your hair will be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

The soldiers on the ships disarmed and surrendered, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. More than a dozen warships, in addition to sailors, more than 2,000 sailors and fleets were destroyed.

On the other hand, during the charge of the Chao family army, except for the unlucky ones who were injured by stray arrows, there were no casualties. When this is said, everyone else will take it as a joke.

But this is the truth, it doesn't cost a single soldier to kill a fleet.

Although it is said that there are fierce generals in the Chaojia army, they are all the elite of the elite, but it also shows that the discipline of the Dengzhou Navy Division is loose and has no combat effectiveness, and it is not as good as a robber. It is no wonder that in the original history, the coastal naval army was crushed at the first touch.

The Chao family army occupied more than a dozen large ships, and Ruan Xiaoqi smiled with a smile. Command your officers to clean the battlefield or dispose of corpses and clean decks. He even had craftsmen repair the boats, and he was very diligent in his work.

This is all about taking more than a dozen ships as their own.

"Say, Where is your chief?" Chao Gai boarded the opponent's flagship with a dark face, shook the cold and shining broadsword in his hand, and stared at the captives and asked.

More than 100 captives crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands, looking at the fierce soldiers around them, and they were terrified. A captain-like man trembled and responded: "Big... Adults, we are not strongmen, but officers of the Dengzhou Navy Division......"

", you are Dengzhou sailors? Why did you attack my Jeju army? Will your quibble be believed? Chao Gai squinted at him and snapped. Then he turned his head to look at the flagship of the five thousand materials, and said: "You pirates are quite rich, look at the magnificent ships, and the flags are quite similar." Honestly, who attacked Salmon Island? ”

"My lord, we are really not strongmen, we are Dengzhou sailors." The man was about to cry, and he felt that he could not tell even if he had a hundred mouths. The current situation, as if the scene when one's own fleet once surrounded the caravan and framed the other party's private merchants, no matter how much they argued, it was useless.

At this moment, he thought that retribution was coming!

A few of the captives patted their heads and pointed to the sea behind them: "My lord, this is a misunderstanding. If you don't believe it, you can confirm it if you look at the fleet behind it, it is the second battalion of the Ping Navy Naval Division! ”

"Is there such a thing?" Chao Gai pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly sent someone to wave the order flag. After a short time, the twelve ships of the second battalion of the Ping Navy Naval Division slowly approached.

The comparison between the two battalions of sailors shows an obvious gap.

The first battalion had sixteen ships, ten of which were of 2,000 materials, five of which were of 3,600 materials, and one of which were of 5,000 materials.

The second battalion only had ten ships of 2,000 materials, and two ships of 3,600 materials, which was much worse in grade.

As the wooden bridge was built, the square-faced man stepped on the flagship with more than a dozen people. At a glance, I saw Chao Gai, who was dressed in military uniforms and hunting in a cloak. The other party just stood there and didn't move, but there was an oppressive force. Look at the two heroic female generals around you, it's staggering.

Chao Gai turned around, and Han Shizhong on his side looked at the other party coldly and shouted: "Hmph, the chief of the Jeju Soldiers and Horses Command Division is here, why don't you come to see him?" ”

The words of the general manager of Jeju soldiers and horses immediately made the prisoners on the ship tremble, and some of them showed despair. Who doesn't know that Lingzhou Zengtou City was wiped out by this led army, and 30,000 or 20,000 Jurchens, men, women and children were killed.

The people rejoiced and clapped their hands in praise.

But in the official mansion, many people are frightened and call them cold-blooded butchers. The fame of Shandong Tianwang Chao Gai gradually affected the government. For example, the soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy Division Battalion did not mention it much, but they were afraid to die when they saw real people.

The officer was also stunned, then stepped forward and bowed: "Oh, the commander of the Navy of Junior General Ping Hu Yanqing, meet Chief Chao." ”

Chao Gai waved his hand and signaled, don't be polite. His face was calm, and his heart was shocked. Looking up and down at this seven-foot man, he was a little surprised, but relieved.

Hu Yanqing, and a native of Bingzhou (now Taiyuan City, Shanxi). The son of Huyan Shouyong, the great-grandson of Huyanzan. Historically, he was a military general and diplomat during the Song Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he served as the commander of the Dengzhou Ping Navy, because "Huyanqing is good at foreign Chinese and has the talent to discern knowledge, so he has repeatedly sent envoys to the Jin State to discuss the matter of joining Jin to attack Liao (Maritime Alliance).

Because of this, he was said to be a sinner in the Northern Song Dynasty by later generations. In fact, the other party is only the commander of the Ping Navy, at best, he is leading the army to escort the envoy corps. There are other people who negotiate with the Jin people, and they can be regarded as harming the pond fish.

Chao Gai tried hard to think about what he knew, and sighed for this naval general.

At the same time, Han Shizhong beside him muttered to himself, looked at Hu Yanqing, and asked tentatively, "Hu Yanqing?" Who are you in the Western Army Huyantong? ”

"Oh, do you know Tong'er?" When Hu Yanqing heard this, he looked at Han Shizhong in surprise, and saw that the other party was dignified, his face was cold, and his eyes were like electricity. There is a faint murderous aura on his body, and at first glance, he is from a military background.

"The junior general is his little uncle, I don't know who the general is?"

Han Shizhong's cheeks twitched a few times, and he secretly sighed that his good brother Hu Yantong didn't lie to himself, he really had an uncle and grandfather who was about the same age as him.

I didn't expect to meet here today.

Han Shizhong thought of this, and his cold face softened a lot: "General Huyan doesn't need to be polite, Han has been in the Western Army for many years, and he and Daring are brothers. ”

Boldness is Huyantong's nickname.

"Surname Han?" Hu Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then a happy color appeared on his face: "Isn't it Han Shizhong, who has participated in dozens of large and small battles and is known as the iron-blooded general, sent a letter from Tong'er, saying that you are his best brother and have saved his life many times on the battlefield." But more than half a year ago, he left the army. ”

"Haha, everyone has their own ambitions!" Han Shizhong had a smile on his face. Take the initiative to talk to each other to find out how his good brother Hu Yantong is doing. Knowing that there was another clash at the border, the other side rushed too hard and was injured and recuperated.

Rao is an iron-blooded man, and Han Shizhong couldn't help laughing and scolding Hu Yan for being bold. Although Chao Gai did not interject, he listened carefully, thinking about how to recruit Hu Yanqing, the general of the navy, to make up for the shortcomings of the navy.

step, the two armies of Malaysia will be star-studded, most of them have professional backgrounds, and they are becoming more and more regularized. Only the navy is a shortcoming, and the generals of all armies are all born with mud legs. If it weren't for Chao Gai's experience as a soldier, and the assistance of the sick pharmacist Xiao Jiasui, the flower monk Lu Zhishen, and the leopard head Lin Chong and other generals would really be enough.

So if you come across it, don't miss it!

The prisoners on the ship, seeing that the commander of the second battalion of the naval division were talking and laughing with Jeju Chaogai and others, looking like old acquaintances, everyone was relieved and glad that they had escaped, so they were not so afraid.

It's just that apparently they are thinking a little too much and the matter is not over!
