Chapter 203: Benjun escaped all his life, but died on the way to charge
Qin army command platform.
Looking at the stunned and helpless Qin soldiers locked on the sampan boat from afar, Ying Chengcheng was a little helpless.
But as long as the Qin army can pick out three or five thousand people who are good swimmers, there will be a lot more tactics that Ying Chengcheng can use.
It's a pity that a sailor who can do diving operations can't be trained in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Ying Chengcheng didn't have any illusions about Daqin's water warfare ability, and just quietly watched the Wei army chisel the sampan that was connected into chains by the Qin army.
Every time a sampan falls into the water, the oil contained in the sampan falls with the sampan and floats on the water's surface.
In order to break through quickly, Wei Qi's sailors and boats would break out of the blockade at the first time and sail faster than the current.
The oil that floated on the surface of the water was not enough to cover the river, but it stuck to the waterline of one ship after another as it was crossed by the Wei ships.
If Wei Qi stood in the oars of the big wing, he could smell the familiar smell of oil and understand where his uneasiness came from.
Seeing Wei Qi's department break through the five blockade lines, Ying Cheng ordered in a faint voice: "Order, Xiao Tu's department shoots fire arrows!" ”
"Cen Bian's headquarters went against the current and burned the remnants of the enemy!"
Ordering the drum to beat, and carefully listening to the command conveyed by the rhythm of the drum, Xiao Tu immediately ordered: "Raise the fire!" ”
The flint struck and torches were lit, illuminating both sides of the chasm.
Xiao Tu shouted: "Ignite the fire!" ”
The fire on both sides of the chasm doubled, and it was a burning crossbow bolt!
Xiao Tu drank again: "One row, the target is directly in front, the elevation is three, put!" ”
The bowstring thunderclapped, and thousands of fire arrows diffused towards the Wei army's sailors.
"Knock knock!!"
The sound of impact sounded one after another, one by one the fire arrows hit the boat, and fell on the boat because of the lack of arrow clusters, Wei Qi broke off: "Pick up all the fire arrows and bury them in the sandbox!" ”
"Don't be afraid, or the ship will be ruined!"
Under the orders of Wei Qi and a group of soldiers and supervisors, the soldiers hurriedly picked up the fire arrows and threw them into the sandbox, or threw them directly into the river.
Not much oil was contaminated with each of the arrows, and even though dealt with quickly, several rounds of arrows failed to ignite a ship.
But just when many Wei soldiers thought they had passed another hurdle, an exclamation broke everyone's dreams.
"Oh no, it's on fire!"
Wei Qi has developed a phobia of fire.
Hearing this, Wei Qi quickly ran to the side of the big wing and looked in the direction where the cry came from, and then Wei Qi saw that the position of the waterline of a flying boat was burning!
No!
More than one!
Sixteen flying boats and one large wing are burning at the waterline!
If it's just a ship's waterline burning, it's possible that the fire bolt happened to hit the waterline.
But if all boats are on fire at the waterline, there must be something different!
"The waterline?" Wei Qi quickly ran into the paddle cabin, leaned over and sniffed, and sure enough, he smelled the familiar smell: "It's oil!" ”
Wei Qi felt that he had no strength in his body, and muttered to himself: "Yes, oil can float on the surface of the water." ”
"The general thought that the general led the army out of the encirclement."
"But I never thought that Ben Jiang had already fallen into the trap and didn't know it!"
Wei Qi didn't know exactly when Ying Chengcheng laid out the oil waters.
Wei Qi didn't have time to think either.
Running back to the second deck quickly, Wei Qi hissed loudly: "Soldiers, go at full speed!" ”
"You can only live if you rush out of this place!"
The oarsmen's oars are almost out of the sparks.
Even the soldiers standing on the second floor leaned down and used their spears as oars to do their best.
This is a matter of everyone's life, and all the Wei army sailors have fought hard!
However, the development of objective things does not depend on the will of man.
Round after round of fire arrows were thrown down at the Wei army's sailors, and there were always a few that could hit the waterline.
Once a ship's waterline is hit, the oil attached to it begins to burn, which in turn burns the entire ship.
What made them even more desperate was that Cen Bian's department had already driven the tattered sampan against the current.
Admittedly, the sampan is a little kid in front of the big wing.
But these kids have guns in their hands!
Seeing a piece of fire lit up on the sampan boat, those flames were thrown towards the Wei army's sailors.
Wei Qi roared in a hoarse voice: "Quick! Hasten! Faster! ”
"The soldiers who fell into the water swam to the vicinity of the Qin army and seize the Qin army's boat!"
On the other side, Cen Bian was also roaring: "Quick! The front army landed on the shore to avoid, and the rear army continued to shoot! ”
Under the cover of rounds of fire arrows, the Wei army's sailors completely turned into a sea of fire.
The nimble sampan would quickly slip to both sides of the river before the Wei army approached, and would only pursue the Wei army when the Wei army ships sailed past, giving the Wei army no chance to seize the ship.
Wei Qi raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that there were only two big wings left of the Wei army, and there were only more than forty flying boats left, and all the other boats and ships were all on fire, and even the big wings under Wei Qi's seat had already ignited flames!
With the density of Qin's military arrows, how long can the remaining boats and boats last?
Wei Qi knew that the original plan had failed.
Wei Qi immediately ordered: "Order, all boats and ships dock, so that all soldiers will converge on the east coast!" ”
The oarsmen have wanted to dock for a long time.
Hearing Wei Qi's order, the oarsmen pulled their oars a little faster, causing the boat to crash into the shore like an arrow of fire.
Before the boat could be steady, the oarsmen and soldiers rushed up to the east shore in a hurry, and then they saw a pair of green eyes.
Thousands of Qin soldiers were already waiting here.
In front of the Qin army, Su Jiao bowed his hand: "Su Jiao, the two or five hundred lords of Great Qin, meet Peng Chengjun." ”
Wei Qi's face was extremely gloomy, and he walked down the gangway and returned the salute: "Great Wei Pengchengjun, I have seen General Su." ”
Su Jiao said with a smile: "The commander of our army, Chang'an Jun, has already been friends with Peng Chengjun for a long time. ”
"The last general of the special dispatch came to ask Peng Chengjun to go to the Qin army camp to talk."
Wei Qi laughed at himself: "Go to the Qin army camp? ”
"The general of the defeated army, what is there to talk about!"
"I'm afraid it's not that I will persuade the defenders of Daliang City to surrender!"
Su Jiao nodded straightly: "The two are not in conflict. ”
Wei Qi angrily reprimanded: "Ben Jiang is the son of the first king, how can he do something like a traitor to survive!" ”
Su Jiao looked at the Wei army that was constantly converging towards Wei Qi, and asked softly, "Peng Chengjun, you don't want to see all your robes die in battle, right?" ”
More than 1,000 Wei soldiers had already gone ashore, and on paper, the strength of the Wei army was even slightly higher than that of Su Jiao's troops.
But these soldiers are already exhausted, how much combat power can they have?
It's just a flock of lambs to the slaughter!
Wei Qi turned around and asked: "Daliang City is behind me, and your family members are all in Daliang City." ”
"Fighting to the death for Daliang City, are you afraid?"
Who dares to say that they are afraid of death at this time?
Isn't that waiting to be cut off by Wei Qi's sword!
All the Wei soldiers had to shout against their will: "Fearless! ”
Wei Qi turned to look at Su Jiao: "Can General Su hear me?" ”
"I, a Great Wei warrior, am not afraid of death!"
"Ben will be even more afraid of dying for Dawei!"
Su Jiao bowed: "Peng Chengjun has been defeated by my Great Qin repeatedly, and it is a matter of time before I know that Great Qin will destroy Wei." ”
"If that is the case, why should we increase casualties for the sake of what is destined to happen?"
"Peng Chengjun persuaded the defenders of Daliang City to surrender for my Great Qin, and there will be no more soldiers killed in the Qin and Wei armies, and there will be no big floods to flood the surroundings of Daliang City, causing the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Qianshou."
"Why not?"
Su Jiao was trying his best to persuade him to surrender, but he didn't know how piercing his words were.
Wei Qi smiled miserably: "Ben Jiang Cheng has been defeated by Qin repeatedly. ”
"Counting this battle, Ben Jiang has been defeated by the Qin army five times, maybe Ben Jiang should have died a long time ago."
"If this general dies in Chaoge City, maybe Brother Wang has already chosen another good general to lead my Great Wei to victory!"
Raising his head and drawing his sword, Wei Qi said firmly: "I could have died and escaped, but I would never have surrendered!" ”
"The majesty of the Great Wei royal family cannot be tarnished!"
"Soldiers, charge with Ben!"
During the shouting, Wei Qi led his soldiers to take the lead in the charge.
But the footsteps of the Wei army behind him were a little slow, and they were getting slower and slower.
In the end, only Wei Qi and more than 40 family soldiers were still charging towards the Qin army.
Su Jiao sighed helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "Crossbowman, shoot!" ”
A round of arrows rained down, and more than 30 soldiers were killed and fell to the ground.
Wei Qi was also hit by three arrows, but he raised the corpse of a personal soldier as a shield and continued to charge forward.
Round after round of arrows fell, and Wei Qi, who was hit by more than ten arrows, finally rushed to the front of the Qin army.
The spear in Su Jiao's hand burst out, and a shot pierced Wei Qi's heart.
Looking down at the barrel of the gun that penetrated his heart, Wei Qi smiled: "Benjun has escaped all his life, but fortunately he died on the way to the charge." ”
"In this way, it can be regarded as living up to the prestige of the ancestors and ancestors!"
The head of the gun was pulled out, Wei Qi slowly fell to the ground, his eyes looked in the direction of Daliang City, and he muttered softly: "Brother Wang, my brother is ashamed of you." ”
"I must defend my Great Wei Sheji ......"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Qi was gone.
But his eyes were still looking in the direction of Daliang City, and he didn't blink!
Looking down at Wei Qi's corpse, Su Jiao shouted angrily: "Peng Chengjun has died in battle!" ”
"You wait for the war and don't fight, and you don't surrender, what do you want!"
All the Wei army sailors threw away their blades in unison, and couldn't wait to shout: "I'm willing to surrender!" ”
Su Jiao ordered in a deep voice: "Capture all enemy troops." ”
"Put Peng Chengjun's body into the carriage!"
Two quarters of an hour later, Wei Qi's corpse appeared in front of Ying Chengcheng.
"The general has been fighting Peng Chengjun for several months, but it is the first time he has seen Peng Chengjun's appearance clearly." Looking at Wei Qi, Ying Chengcheng asked in a deep voice: "Peng Chengjun will fight to the death?" ”
Su Jiao arched his hand and said: "The last general has been working very hard to persuade him to surrender, but Peng Chengjun is resolutely refused. ”
"In the end, he led more than 40 soldiers to charge to the death."
Ying Chengcheng was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Good life to collect Peng Chengjun's body." ”
Waving his hand to let Wei Qi's corpse be carried away, Ying Chengcheng turned his head to look at the aging figure at the head of the Great Liang City, and muttered, "General Pang, how many means do you have?" ”
"How many troops do you have left?"
