Chapter 285: Complete despair

The night is quiet, and the stars in the sky are also very sparse, which is the right time for a sneak attack.

Paddled with the oars, Huang Long braved the choppy waves and ran towards the battleship in the distance, praying secretly in his heart: "Closer, closer." It was as if he could get closer enough to break into it with his own strength, and then he could stick a deadly powder bag on it and blow the huge battleship to pieces.

However, at this moment, a pillar of light suddenly shot out in the distance.

This pillar of light was like a sharp sword piercing the void, and it fell immediately, but it kept patrolling back and forth on the surface of the river.

"Isn't this thing designed by the Huaxia Army to prevent sneak attacks?"

When Huang Long saw this scene, he was also extremely worried.

If they are swept away by this thing, then their traces will be completely exposed, and the so-called sneak attack will become a nullity, and it will not be of any use at all.

"Anyway, let's try it first. Maybe this Huaxia army is nothing more than that?"

Frightened in his heart, Huang Long slowed down, as if he could disguise his actions a little, so as not to be discovered by the Huaxia navy.

At this time, the most important thing for them is to get close to the boat and create good opportunities for their own attack. When the rest of the boats saw this scene, they also sped up, obviously afraid of this scene, and wanted to shorten the time of the battle as soon as possible.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Staring into the distance, Huang Long's mouth kept muttering, and the battleship was only less than three miles away from him, and he only needed to speed up one more step before he could get closer.

However, at this moment, a sharp light shot into the air, just enveloping him, including the small boat under his crotch, and the dazzling light suddenly made Huang Long feel uncomfortable, but he was extremely frightened in his heart: "Oops, it was discovered." ”

As if in response to his thoughts, a loud "woo" made Huang Long feel dizzy.

And those giant beasts that seemed to be sleeping before, as if they were completely alarmed, let out a deafening whistle one after another, and dozens of lampposts also appeared together, all of which fell on the surface of the river, dispelling the darkness that had existed.

"No matter, just rush in. ”

Huang Long's heart was crossed, and he immediately rose up with all his strength and ran towards the battleship in the distance.

Only as he approached the battleship, a roar of "da-" rang out, and dozens of fires swept towards him.

Huang Long didn't react, he felt a pain in his chest, his whole body floated towards the sky, his eyes looked at the dark sky, and what caught his eye was the eternal and unchanged stars, although they were sparse but always the same, like the gods, overlooking the land of China.

"Poof!", Huang Long felt a chill in his body, his eyes turned hard, and he saw a small boat sinking into the river in the distance, and then he realized.

"So, I'm dead?"

As soon as the tide rolled up, half of the body was swept into the river, and there was no trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only a puddle of blood, and this blood stain did not last long, it was also diluted, and there was no trace left.

Elsewhere, the boats did not escape, but were also shot by the rapid-fire guns equipped on the battleships, and turned into a pile of planks, and the soldiers on them naturally did not escape, and fell into the river one after another, never to be seen again.

On the battleship, Lu Wenhuan looked at this scene, and only felt uncomfortable in his heart: "Alas. If I had surrendered earlier, where would it have become like this?"

No matter how he said that these people used to be his colleagues, and now seeing these people being killed naturally made Lu Wenhuan extremely uncomfortable.

"Hmph, these southern barbarians, don't you think that we are like them, and we have no defenses?"

Zhang Gui snorted lightly, his face was full of disdain, and when he turned his eyes, he saw Lu Wenhuan standing in the distance, and immediately frowned and asked, "You have also seen the virtue of these guys, and now you are planning to sneak attack us." In this case, do you think there should be a truce? Don't think that Huang Gan used to be your colleague, just think that he will really join us, understand?"

Previously, because Lu Wenhuan stopped it, he missed the perfect time to attack, which made Zhang Gui quite dissatisfied, so he questioned it.

Lu Wenhuan's body stiffened, and explained: "Xu is that Huang Gan thinks that we are running day and night and are defenseless, so he will come up with the measurement of this sneak attack." It's just a pityβ€”"

The pity in his mouth didn't know whether he meant the sneak attack, or Huang Gan's refusal to surrender, or both?

"Hmph. Anyway, since that guy has done this kind of thing, don't worry about me being polite. ”

Zhang Gui's face was not good, and he immediately ordered: "First kill all these sneak attack guys, and wait until noon tomorrow, the generals will go out with me, let that Huang Gan see, we are not such cowards as them." ”

After all, he is not the person who spits on himself, since he is less than a gangster in the Han River, he understands better the customs of the rivers and lakes of tooth for tooth.

Then the Song army is coming, he must fight it.

This movement naturally alarmed Huang Gan.

He didn't wear a coat, so he ran out of the house and went straight to the top of the city.

"Who is it that would attack rashly against my orders?"

Seeing the fighting scene in the distance, Huang Gan only felt his eyebrows beating violently, which was particularly uncomfortable.

Chao Gongwu replied: "Commander Huang is Huang Long. It was Huang Long who opened the door privately, saying that he was going to sneak attack the Song army and teach the other party a lesson. ”

"What do you say, how could it be Huang Long?"

Huang Gan was suddenly furious, and scolded at Na Chao Gongwu: "You know that his strength is not good, why do you still let him out? In the face of those wolf-like Huaxia troops, isn't he equivalent to sending him to death?"

As Huang Long's elder brother, he knows quite well that Huang Long's talent is quite mediocre, and he doesn't have any experience in the army, but he relies on his brother's identity to mix the identity of a deputy general, and master the most elite soldiers.

I didn't expect this guy to have no ability to discriminate, and he actually attacked directly with elite soldiers?

Chao Gong Wu suddenly felt helpless, and replied in a low voice: "Lord Qiyu, I have also persuaded Adjutant Huang. It's a pity that he has made up his mind, and I can't dissuade him, so I have to let him out of the city. ”

"You!"

Huang Gan looked at Chao Gongwu angrily, and did not hide his anger: "What did I tell you before? Didn't you tell you to guard the city gate and not let anyone enter or leave? In that case, then why did you disobey my order and let Huang Long out? Do you know how many lives you have killed in this act?"

Chao Gong Wu suddenly felt ridiculous, and hurriedly defended: "But my lord." I also tried to persuade him, but Adjutant Huang didn't listen and had to go out. That's it, what are you going to do with me?"

Huang Gan is the commander of the Anyang Army, and Huang Long is also a deputy general, and he Chao Gongwu is just a partial general, and he is just an ordinary officer in the Anyang Army, and he has no status at all, and in the face of the orders of the two, there is naturally no possibility of resistance.

The sound of artillery in the distance was still deafening, and the search for those soldiers continued, and the city was also in a stalemate because of Huang Gan's questioning.

Chao Gongwu was worried about the soldiers in the distance, and said again: "And my lord, it hasn't been long since Huang Long's sneak attack, if we dispatch at this time, we may be able to rescue Adjutant Huang." Isn't it?"

"Hmph. It's all this time, do you think there's still a chance?"

Huang Gan shook his head and scolded in a tone of hatred: "The reason why this kind of thing happened is obviously because you were negligent in your duties, otherwise how would you have incurred these losses?"

β€œ......”

Chao Gongwu was speechless, and he was not interested in continuing to defend himself.

In order to make himself feel a little better, Huang Gan clearly had the intention of putting the blame on him.

"For today's business, I will first punish you with eighty rods, and then go down and receive it yourself." ”

Boredom for no reason, Huang Gan waved his hand and let Chao Gongwu retreat, looking at the battleship in the distance with worried eyes.

At this moment, the sky is already glowing with red clouds, and it is clear that the sun is about to rise, and a new day is coming. It's just that for Huang Gan, this day was not a day full of hope, but a scene that made him frustrated.

"General, they stopped the attack. ”

Above the city, many soldiers saw the battleship slowly retreating, and for some reason suddenly felt their bodies loosen.

If the ship did attack, they didn't know what to do.

Huang Gan let out a slight breath of turbid air, and thought to himself: "Fortunately, they retreated, otherwise if they continue to attack, I don't know how to deal with it." Worried about his brother, he immediately asked people to open the city gates and bring those defeated soldiers into the city.

It wasn't until he questioned every surviving soldier that Huang Gan was convinced.

His brother Huang Long did die in the previous battle.

After hearing the news, Huang Gan suddenly fell into sadness, and scolded bitterly in his heart: "The hateful Huaxia Army actually killed Huang Long? This time, if I don't break your corpse into ten thousand pieces, how can I make my brother accept it?"

Wuzi fell into sadness, and there was a loud noise in the distance with a "boom".

Huang Gan stared at it, but saw that the cannon placed above his city was caught up in the explosion, and the entire barrel was directly blown into several pieces.

"It's the Huaxia Army. They didn't retreat at all!"

Hurriedly got up, Huang Ganji looked into the distance, and turned the muzzles of the dozen or so battleships together, and the black muzzles were directly aimed at himself.

"Bang bang bang!"

As if in response to him, more than forty artillery pieces were fired together, and the Hanyang army was suddenly covered by endless flames, and the dozens of soldiers on the city head had never escaped, and naturally they were also involved, and the artillery and bows and crossbows equipped on the city head had not escaped, and they were also caught up in this flame, and they were completely blown into a pile of wreckage, which was no longer of any use.

"Fight back! Fight back!"

Seeing this scene, Huang Gan only felt a chill in his back, he reacted quickly and jumped off the city wall directly, which was lucky to escape, but now he reacted and immediately asked his soldiers to launch a counterattack.

However, all the artillery at the head of the city was destroyed, and what remained was only a small cannon similar to the Tiger Squat Cannon, which could not threaten the warships in the distance at all, and it could be described as useless. Even if someone launched the artillery, there would be no threat except for some fireworks.

It wasn't until this moment that Huang Ganfang really understood that in fact, he had no possibility of confronting the Huaxia Army at all.
