Chapter 784, Battlefield Turnaround,

Yang Peng sighed. Yan Ji saw that he looked unconcerned, and asked angrily, "Husband, haven't you woken up yet?" The enemy fleet poured out! ”

Yang Peng smiled, "Got it." Isn't it just the English fleet pouring out? Yan Jihu looked at Yang Peng suspiciously, and asked, "Husband, is all this in your calculations?" Yang Peng smiled: "Your husband and I are not a fortune teller, where can I get this one!" Yan Ji said angrily: "Then why do you seem to be fine?" The enemy fleet is pouring out, and this city may not be able to hold it! Husband, you are Your Majesty the Ming Dynasty, and your safety is related to the whole world, and you must evacuate the dangerous place immediately! Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!" There were seven or eight thousand defenders in this city, and the English fleet did not necessarily take advantage of it! ”

Yan Ji saw that her lover was still looking like this, she was annoyed and admired, and her nervous mood couldn't help but calm down a lot, and said: "Although the husband is reasonable, but no matter what, the husband can't stay here, and must leave immediately!" ”

Yang Peng pressed Yan Ji's shoulders with both hands, kissed her red lips, and said with a smile: "Your husband and I come and go in the fire and water, what kind of scene have I never seen!" Don't worry, don't worry! Seeing that Yan Ji still wanted to persuade again, he said: "In short, I promise you, if there is really an irreparable crisis in the city, I will definitely take the opportunity to lead the army to break through, and I will not fall in love here!" Yan Ji sighed, glanced at her lover, and said angrily: "The concubine can't convince you anyway!" It's infuriating! Yang Peng saw her light and angry appearance, and couldn't help but move his index finger, and couldn't help but kiss her red lips again. Yan Jifang's heart fluttered, and her beautiful eyes looked at her lover with affection, and she was infinitely lingering.

Yang Peng smiled: "Now is not the time, let's go out and have a look." Yan Ji gave her lover a blank look, and the two went out together.

After a few moments, we came to the west wall. At this time, the armies were already in position, the artillery had taken off their armor, and they were ready to wait for the enemy to attack. Sun Chao, the governor of Donglai, saw that His Majesty and Niangniang were coming, and hurriedly greeted him, clasped his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, Niangniang!" ”

Yang Peng walked to the edge of the wall, looked at the sea, and sure enough, he saw the English fleet pouring out, and countless warships of all sizes covered the sea, the scene was magnificent and amazing. Sun Chao said: "Not long ago, the English fleet suddenly poured out! They deliberately waited until a few days after our fleet left before attacking, and they must have wanted to break through the city and occupy Donglai before our fleet rushed to reinforcements! Yang Peng nodded and said, "You're right." Then he smiled and said: "But if the English fleet wants to break through Donglai in a short time, I'm afraid it's a fool's dream!" Sun Chao nodded, but frowned, as if he didn't have much confidence.

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "What, no confidence?" ”

Sun Chao hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates are ordered to guard Donglai, and swear to live and die with Donglai City!" It's just that I'm worried that I won't be able to hold out until the naval fleet rushes back! ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "Previously, the English fleet attacked Xiou Island, and the defenders of Xiou Island were much smaller than Donglai Island. Why are you so unconfident? ”

Sun Chao said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the situation of Xiou Island is different from that of Donglai, Xiou City is sitting on the sea and is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the city wall is made of huge stones, which is very strong, so although the two adults of Guanping and Guanshan have few troops, they can hold on." The sea around Donglai is open, the terrain on land is flat, and the city wall is only made of bricks and wood, so the overall situation is completely different from that of Xiou. If the enemy attacks at the same time by sea and land, Donglai will be in danger! ”

Yang Peng patted Sun Chao's shoulder and said, "As the commander of this place, you should have confidence!" Don't just think about the difficulties, but also think about the good aspects of yourself! Donglai does have many disadvantages compared to Xiou, but it has an advantage that Xiou did not have at that time, that is, the naval fleet is not too far away! You don't need to hold out for too long, the naval fleet will come, and then the crisis will be lifted! Sun Chao's heart moved, and he hugged his fists and promised.

Yang Peng said: "You go and command the battle." It is your responsibility to defend this place, and I will not interfere. Sun Chao bowed down and went down.

Yang Peng turned to look at the approaching England fleet on the sea, with a thoughtful look on his face. Yan Ji walked up to Yang Peng's side and asked with some concern: "Husband, do you really believe that Wang Hai and Wang Rong's navy will be able to arrive in time?" Yang Peng smiled: "Of course." Seeing her lover's confident appearance, Yan Ji's worries couldn't help but dissipate a lot.

Soon after, an English fleet split off from the main fleet and rushed straight to the northern coast. Outside the range of the city's defensive artillery fire, thousands of English marines landed. At the same time, the main fleet of England bombarded the coastal walls with gunboats, and the defensive artillery fire on the walls immediately returned fire, and the shells of both sides flew in the sky, and the rumbling sound was like the rolling thunder of a storm.

While the English fleet bombarded the walls with artillery fire, the landing fleet landed the landing force and, together with the troops landing in the north, stormed the city. All of a sudden, thousands of England Marines rushed towards the city like ant colonies!

The thousands of people in the city who had not had time to evacuate were hiding in their dwellings, listening to the constant thrilling sounds of war outside, and fearing that the enemy would suddenly rush into the city.

……

The war lasted from morning to noon, and from noon to evening. The offensive of the English army was very fierce, and although the Ming army resisted with all its might, the situation was just as Sun Chao feared, and the city defense was in danger. The city wall in the north is not bad, but the city wall in the west has been bombarded by the opponent's naval guns repeatedly, and there are gaps in many places, and the enemy is surging in from the gaps, and the Ming defenders are desperate to block the gaps one by one.

Night fell, night fell, and fierce battles continued. The artillery fire of the English fleet was like a storm blowing from the sea, raging the city in bursts, and under the power of this fury, the walls continued to collapse, and the defenders were already overwhelmed. The English Marines continued to attack, and the defenders only felt the pressure increasing, almost unable to hold on.

Yan Ji saw that the city wall was about to be unable to hold on, and the defenders had reached the limit, so she hurriedly said to Yang Peng: "Husband, we can't hold on anymore, retreat quickly!" Yang Peng looked at the sea in the distance and muttered, "It should be almost!" Yan Ji was stunned, not knowing what her lover was talking about. At this moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from a city wall! Yan Ji hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw that a wall had collapsed entirely, and hundreds of England Marines howled and rushed in, like a flood that broke the embankment. More than 100 defenders hurriedly blocked the attack, and the two sides fell into a tragic melee. The Ming soldiers sacrificed their lives to fight back desperately, and they were able to resist the enemy's attack, but there were too many enemies, and it was obviously impossible for them to hold out for too long!

Yan Ji hurriedly turned her head, "Husband, ......"

Yang Peng ran towards the gap and said, "You stay here, I have to help!" Before he finished speaking, the man was already on the stairs of the city wall. Yan Ji said in an authentic atmosphere: "I also said that I will retreat whenever there is danger!" Hmph, that's annoying! As he spoke, he followed. Although Yang Peng asked her to stay, how could she watch her husband go to fight while she stayed comfortably aside!

Yang Peng rode on his war horse, lifted the iron horse lance, rode his horse into the enemy bushes, and flew up and down with the iron horse lance in his hand, knocking the enemy to the ground one by one. When the defending soldiers saw His Majesty personally go into battle, they couldn't help but boost their morale, and everyone fought back like crazy, and the little advantage that the English had already occupied was lost in an instant!

Yang Peng slaughtered in all directions in the enemy army, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and no one in the English, whether they were soldiers or generals, could stop him. Several Englishmen howled and rushed towards Yang Peng, Yang Peng stabbed the chest of the Englishman with one hand, and smashed the body of the Englishman into an Englishman next to him, and a corpse and a person rolled together. At this time, the third Englishman howled and rushed to Yang Peng's left side, raising his one-handed battle axe to attack Yang Peng. Yang Peng didn't have time to withdraw the horse lance, but he was not in a hurry, and quickly pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist with his left hand, and was about to kill the other party. At this moment, however, a spear pierced the Englishman's chest first. Immediately, Yang Peng saw a beautiful figure behind the Englishman, it was his wife Yan Ji, and couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you here?" Yang Peng asked with a smile.

Yan Ji glanced at her lover, drew her spear back with both hands, and the corpse of the Englishman fell. Yan Ji glanced at Yang Peng and said angrily: "The husband is here, how can the concubines stay by and watch the play!" Yang Peng laughed, "Okay!" Well done! Today, the two of us will kill their mother! Yan Ji showed excitement, then her face changed, and she shouted urgently: "Husband, be careful!" ”

Yang Peng had already heard the wind coming from behind him, turned his head to look, and saw a big man who looked like an English general howling with a war hammer in both hands and rushing straight up. The corners of Yang Peng's mouth twitched, revealing an excited smile. The big man howled like a grizzly bear, and then slammed his two-handed war hammer straight down on Chen Xiao's horse's head.

As soon as Yang Peng pulled the reins of the horse, the war horse immediately rose with manpower. The hammer swept past the horse's neck with a loud thud. Although this hammer did not hit, you can clearly feel the huge power contained in this hammer!

The front hooves of the war horse fell, and Yang Peng lost and smashed the horse lance on the opponent's head, and the horse lance tore through the air with a whirring sound!

The English man was shocked when he saw that his opponent's horse lance was fierce and hurried to dodge. However, after flashing the misfortune of the broken head, he could not escape the fate of the broken shoulder, and the sword-shaped blade in the front of the horse lance was heavily embedded in the opponent's shoulder with a pop, and the blood gushed wildly, and at the same time the screams rang out. Yang Peng retracted the horse lance and prepared to give him a fatal blow. At this moment, a figure rushed past him, and with a coquettish sound, he stabbed the English man in the chest with both hands! Then he waited on his lower abdomen, drew his spear, and the English man fell to the ground on his back with a scream. The man stepped forward and shot him in the chest a few more times, and he was completely dead!

This one who suddenly rushed out and helped Yang Peng finish off the English man was none other than Yan Ji. Yang Peng saw that Yan Ji, who was beautiful and charming, and in front of him, Yan Ji, who was so charming, had such a fierce side, and the appearance of killing people was simply a tigress! Yang Peng couldn't help but look stunned. Yan Ji turned around and saw her lover's eyes wide open and looking at her in a daze, she couldn't help but blush and glanced at him. Yang Peng came back to his senses and couldn't help but move his index finger, only to feel that Yan Ji at this time really had an indescribable charm, and he simply hooked his soul away!

Yang Peng and Yan Ji finally failed to reverse the situation, and this gap was about to be unable to resist.

Yan Ji, who was sprinkled with mottled blood, ran to Yang Peng's side and said urgently: "Husband, you must go!" ”

Yang Peng frowned, looked up into the distance, and muttered, "Could it be that I was wrong?!" ”

The howls of the enemy kept coming, getting louder and louder, and seeing more and more enemies pouring into the gap, the soldiers were almost completely crushed by the other side! Yan Ji didn't care whether Yang Peng agreed or not, and hurriedly grabbed Yang Peng's horse reins and ran towards the city. The other soldiers fought to the death, and at this time they wanted to buy time for His Majesty's safe retreat.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden confusion among the enemy, and the attack gradually stopped. Immediately afterwards, I saw the English marines who had entered the city shouting and rushing to flee. Seeing this scene, Yang Peng hurriedly shouted at Yan Ji, who was pulling the reins of his horse and running towards the city: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! The enemy retreated! Yan Ji stopped, turned her head to look at the gap, and sure enough, she saw that the enemy who was originally surging was rushing to escape, and she couldn't help but feel depressed, and said, "What's going on?" ”

Yang Peng listened attentively, only to hear that the sound of battle everywhere was rapidly receding, looking towards the city wall, the original scene of vigorous artillery bombardment was gone, the sound of enemy artillery fire on the sea seemed to change direction, and at the same time, from a distance there were bursts of huge artillery sounds.

Yang Peng was overjoyed and said, "It seems that my previous prediction was not wrong!" Go to the city walls! Then, without waiting for Yan Ji to reply, he bent down and picked up Yan Ji, put her on the saddle in front of him, and then rode towards the city wall.

Came to the city wall, only to see the fire flickering on the sea, almost turning the night into day, under the reflection of the firelight, a huge fleet appeared on the sea in the north, it was the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty that had left a few days, they were rushing into the enemy's flank in a sword-shaped assault formation, like countless dragons breaking through the army and rushing forward! And the enemy was clearly caught off guard by them, the entire front was hastily converting, and dozens or hundreds of warships were sinking crookedly into the water! The water column on the surface of the water is surging, and the sailors who jump into the sea and flee for their lives stir the entire sea surface into a pot of porridge! The enemy was completely confused, and the appearance of the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty greatly exceeded their expectations!

Seeing that the situation was not right, Nelson quickly ordered a fleet of clippers to be cut off, and the main fleet quickly retreated to the west.

It has to be said that Nelson's strain was very swift. The main fleet of England quickly broke away from the battle before its opponent rushed into the middle of its own fleet, and a fleet of clippers held off the Ming fleet head-on. How this clipper fleet was the opponent of the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty was completely wiped out in an instant, but they bought time for the retreat of the main fleet. When the Ming fleet annihilated the clippers, the enemy's main fleet had already broken away for almost ten miles. The Ming fleet was unwilling to let the enemy escape like this and continued to pursue, but the speed of the two fleets was about the same, and they couldn't catch up at all. In the end, the Ming fleet had to stop and turn back.

Just when the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty attacked the main fleet of England, the English marines who landed on the island boarded the ships and retreated. Seeing that his main fleet was retreating westward, he also retreated westward. However, halfway to the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty, which turned back, after several rounds of indiscriminate bombardment, countless English warships sank into the sea crookedly, and countless English people jumped into the sea to flee for their lives, and the scene became a mess! The gunboat stopped bombardment, and then the Daming ballista battleship rushed into the middle of the enemy and swept away! Kill countless enemies and capture countless enemies! More than half of the two English landing forces totaling nearly 20,000 men were lost, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army would chase after their own fleet! The Ming fleet didn't chase them anymore.

Wang Hai Wang Rong came to Yang Peng and Yan Ji and bowed: "Your Majesty (eldest brother), Niangniang (sister-in-law)." ”

Yan Ji said angrily: "You planned it early in the morning, but you worried me enough!" ”

Wang Hai didn't know how to answer for a while, and turned his head to look at his sister. Wang Rong smiled: "Sister-in-law, forgive me, this is indeed my negligence!" I just felt that this kind of thing didn't have to worry about my sister-in-law and eldest brother, so I didn't tell my sister-in-law and eldest brother! Yan Ji smiled: "Since you won, I won't blame you!" He turned his head and glanced at Yang Peng, and said to Wang Rong with a smile: "Your husband has already guessed this strategy, so from beginning to end, your husband has been so prepared!" But I am a stupid woman who worries me to death! ”

Wang Rong hurriedly ran to Yan Ji's side, hugged Yan Ji's arm, and said, "Sister-in-law is not stupid!" My sister-in-law is just worried about the safety of my eldest brother! Yan Ji pursed her lips and smiled.

Yang Peng glanced at the two girls with a smile, and said to Wang Hai: "Your strategy to lure the snake out of the hole is very good!" Although they failed to completely defeat the English navy, they were severely defeated! Wang Hai hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is all the credit of the little sister!" I can't think of such a plan! ”

Yang Peng looked at Wang Rong, Wang Rong also happened to look at Yang Peng, and under the exchange of eyes, Wang Rong threw a proud look at Yang Peng. Yang Peng's heart fluttered, and he smiled: "Rong'er is getting more and more generalous!" When Wang Rong heard that Yang Peng actually called herself Rong'er in front of other people, she couldn't help but be happy and ashamed, and her delicate face flushed. Yan Ji looked at Yang Peng with a smile, and Yang Peng smiled.

After Nelson led the LinkedIn Grand fleet to withdraw from the battlefield in a hurry, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the Daming fleet did not chase after him. Thinking back to the battle just now, I immediately understood that I had fallen into the trap of my opponent. The opponents clearly deliberately left to induce themselves to attack Donglai without being prepared, and they secretly turned back to launch a surprise attack! Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise the losses in this battle would have been even more significant!

Turning his head, he asked Horatio, the general beside him, "How are our losses?" ”

Horatio said with a look of dismay: "The fleet lost a few hundred warships, but fortunately, the gunboats only lost a dozen. In addition, the landing force suffered heavy losses and fled back only a fraction of it. Nelson only felt a breath in his chest, depressed, frowned and muttered, "The enemy is so cunning!" It's so cunning! ”

Horatio asked; "Generalissimo, what should we do now?"

Nelson thought about it and felt that after this defeat, the loss of the main fleet was not small, but the blow to morale was even greater. So he said: "The main fleet will withdraw to Xiou Island, and then decide what to do after seeing the progress of the army units." Horatio answered and immediately went down to give the order.

The English fleet retreated all the way to Seagull Island. The officers and men who stayed behind in Xiou City saw the fleet return and thought they had returned with a full load. How do you know that when you look closer, the whole fleet looks very embarrassed, and some of the warships are scarred by the collapsed masts, obviously they have just experienced a fierce battle, and they have escaped with great difficulty. The soldiers of the defenders were all stunned when they saw such a scene.

As soon as Nelson returned to the city of Seagull, he immediately sent clippers to the northeast to inquire about the army, and at the same time sent sentinel ships scattered across the sea to prevent the enemy fleet from raiding.

After many days, news finally came from the Army, but it was even more difficult for Nelson to accept. The army's 200,000 troops attacked Dhaka, but they were ambushed by the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and the coalition army was defeated, with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses losing two-thirds, and only one-third escaped. But along with this bad news, there is also good news. The remnants of the coalition army landed on the east coast of Tianzhu, and rushed all the way, swept through countless cities, plundered countless treasures and materials, and countless beauties.

After Nelson and the others got the news, they couldn't help but feel hot, and they only felt that although Daming was not easy to mess with, other countries in this area were soft persimmons that were easy to pinch. The generals suggested that Nelson mobilize all the fleets to attack Tianzhu north, and that no one else should take all the benefits. After a little thought, Nelson decided to go north with his fleet and attack Tianzhu. On the same day, the huge English fleet left the West Gull and headed north, and the thousands of men and horses who had been left to guard the West Gull City also left, only a few hundred unlucky people who were released to patrol were still kept in the dark, and when they came back, they were surprised to find that the whole city was empty!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
