Chapter 499: Bloody Death Battle
Everyone in Wudang knew that there was no luck today, Xiao Han looked miserable, and took Murong Qiuyu's hand and said, "Sister, with you by my side, I have no regrets in this life." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info" Murong Qiuyu's face turned slightly pale, and he said softly: "Me too." β
Chu Tianshu, Zhuang Tianyou and the three helmsmen led the remaining Wudang disciples around Xiao Han, Chu Tianshu pointed to the opposite side and said, "Brother Zhuang rushed out with the head and the young lady, and I am in charge of the rear of the hall." β
Zhuang Tianyou nodded in agreement, and immediately ordered: "This distance from the shore is less than twenty meters, and the brothers will go all out, and they will fight for their lives to protect the safety of the head and the young lady." The Wudang disciples agreed in unison, and immediately rushed over with more than a dozen people carrying the two of them to the opposite bank.
The upstream Tang general had already ordered the arrows to be released, and Chu Tianshu hurriedly led people to block the broken ship horizontally upstream. At this moment, General Tang, a member of a large ship downstream, said loudly: "Is it Master Xiao?" It was too far away, Xiao Han was quite familiar with this voice, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
was hesitating, and then he heard the general shout again: "I am Wang Taibao, the deputy commander of the Jiangnan Water Army, Master Xiao doesn't have to be afraid, I'll save you." β
The upstream Tang army had already ordered the release of arrows, and the warships were getting closer and closer. Although Chu Tianshu pulled a boat to cover it, several disciples were still killed by arrows. Xiao Han didn't know if Wang Taibao was against the water now, how could he dare to trust him easily, so he just snorted lightly and rushed to the opposite bank under the escort of his disciples.
At this time, the downstream warships rushed to follow, and several generals on board shouted to stop. The warships of the two sides stopped twenty meters away from the Wudang faction in the water, and the upstream Tang general said with a fierce face: "On the order of the lord of the country, pursue Xiao Han, the head of the Wudang faction who assists in rebellion, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded." β
Wang Taibao slowly pressed up under the protection of several lieutenants, and another warship rushed up to save people, Xiao Han hesitated in his heart, but now people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and I can't escape, so it is better to go with the flow and immediately order to get on the boat.
After the first battle, there were less than twenty people left in the Wudang faction, but fortunately, Chu Tianshu, Zhuang Tianyou and the four major helmsmen were still safe. Everyone was rescued by Tang Jun and came to the boat, one by one slumped to the ground, Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu sat down back to back and gasped.
A little general came over with a serious face and said: "Master Xiao, the young man will be late in the future, and it is fortunate that the head of the house is finally fine." Xiao Han glanced at him weakly, and suddenly jumped up and said, "Xue Dingfang?"
That young general is Xue Dingfang, the only son of the commander of Raozhou, Xue Dingfang, who was once ordered to go to Nanping, because of his young age, he can talk to Xiao Han very well.
Seeing him arrive with the army, Xiao Han's heart calmed down a little, and then sat down on the ground and said, "What's going on?" Xue Dingfang's face instantly became hideous and said: "Jiangning Prefect Long Shouzheng was the dog's head who rebelled against the water and betrayed His Royal Highness King Zheng. His Royal Highness was deceived into house arrest in the palace, we waited for the dragons to be leaderless, the lord of the country had ordered to hunt us down, Lord Wang and my father had no choice but to rush into trouble, I heard that the head of Xiao was in Jinling, so I came to look for it, and it was timely. β
At this time, the warships of the two sides had already met, and the Tang general upstream pointed at Wang Taibao with a fierce face and said: "Lord Wang, this general was ordered to arrest people, do you want to rob the merit?" It turned out that he saw Wang Taibao's subordinates salvage the Wudang faction on the ship, thinking that Wang Taibao was going to rob people and make meritorious contributions, and he was very angry in his heart, so he asked.
Wang Taibao is a demoted general, although he is the deputy marshal of the navy, many of his generals are not satisfied, and it is common for him to be sarcastic and sarcastic behind his back. That general is also a close confidant of Li Yu, nominally just a Duyu Marquis, but he is very arrogant and domineering, so naturally he doesn't take him seriously.
Wang Taibao sneered: "Everyone is doing things for the country, and what do you want to do or not, if General Liu wants someone, he can give it away." β
The general was overjoyed, and just about to order someone to come up and take people, he saw Wang Taibao's face sank and said: "You have publicly humiliated the general several times, should there be an explanation?" Then General Liu's face changed greatly, and he pointed at Wang Taibao and scolded: "You are just an incompetent general, my lord is gracious, and he ordered you to be a deputy marshal, do you really treat yourself as a green onion? Quickly return people to the general, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." β
Wang Taibao's face sank like water, and he said coldly: "What if the commander doesn't hand it over?" General Liu said angrily: "Do you want to rebel?" followed by an order, swords and guns were raised on the warship, and hundreds of cold bows and arrows were pointed at Wang Taibao.
Several generals in front of Wang Taibao immediately ordered the soldiers to guard the commander, and dozens of soldiers held shields to protect Wang Taibao behind him, revealing only a pair of eyes.
Wang Taibao was furious and said: "You dog thief, what if the commander is the other way around today?" General Liu's eyes widened, he didn't expect that if he didn't agree with him, he would force Wang Taibao to rebel, and he was immediately stunned: "Do you dare to say it again?" Wang Taibao looked over, and the deputy general next to him got the order, and immediately took out a small flag and waved it lightly, and suddenly ten thousand arrows were fired on the warship, and when he boarded, General Liu was shot into a honeycomb, Wang Taibao looked at him with a surprised face, and said loudly: "I just reversed." β
On the opposite side of the warship, the main general was killed on board, and dozens of people were killed, and the rest of the people were shocked, and began a counterattack under the command of a deputy general. Wang Taibao was escorted back to the main cabin by several lieutenants, and his own lieutenant generals commanded the battle, and the two sides began to fight on the Qinhuai River.
Miao Chengxun originally saw the sailor dispatching, Xiao Han was sure that he couldn't escape, he was overjoyed, and stopped to watch with the forbidden army, and saw Xiao Han captured by the navy from a distance, and the forbidden army thundered with joy. Who knew that after waiting for them to be happy for a few minutes, they saw the naval army start to fight, and the shouting of killing shook the sky, which stunned the troops on the shore, and they didn't know how it could have become like this.
Miao Chengxun ordered several soldiers to shout to the river to order them to stop, and he heard someone on the upper warship shouting: "Wang Taibao has rebelled, General Liu died in battle, call for reinforcements quickly." β
Then I heard the golden drums on the Wang Taibao warship, and dozens of warships appeared downstream, and the three warships upstream could not support it, so they turned around and fled. Wang Taibao would let them escape, thousands of rockets flew out of the warship, set fire to the three warships, and rushed forward with the warships, stopping them and killing them.
The warships came faster, and the three warships were surrounded in the blink of an eye, there was no suspense in this battle, Xiao Han and Xue Dingfang stood together, watching the three warships gradually being shot down, gritted his teeth and said: "What are you going to do now?"
Xue Dingfang was stunned and said: "I heard that the plans were all formulated by Master Xiao, and now that King Zheng is banned, it is natural for Master Xiao to take the idea." β
Xiao Han smiled wryly, babble, after this battle, the whole world is estimated to know that they participated in the rebellion, this group of pig-like teammates is really a cheat. Then I thought that I still had to blame myself for everything, and I blamed myself for being too low-key, and getting too close to Li Congshan, Li Yu estimated that he had already held a grudge against himself, so he would have today's retribution.
After annihilating a naval army loyal to Li Yu, Wang Taijun quickly commanded the naval army to force the forbidden army on the shore, and Miao Chengxun saw that they really rebelled, and was furious, and immediately ordered the arrows to be released. Wang Taibao followed the ship with 10,000 arrows, and the two sides launched a confrontation, shouting and killing all over the world.
The forbidden army is good at close combat, and they came out to hunt down Xiao Han and others, and they didn't bring heavy weapons at all. Wang Taibao wanted to rebel, he came prepared, the most special is the fire thunder developed by Xiao Han, under the personal guidance of Zheng Wang Li Congshan, each army has reached the standard of 100 per battalion.
For people at the marshal level like Wang Taibao, who will abide by the rules of death, the more the better. Under the guidance of Xiao Han and the development of the Military Industry Bureau secretly prepared by Li Congshan, the power of the fire and thunder has increased greatly, and with the small trebuchet projection, the power is no longer what it used to be.
At this time, a round of shooting was over, the forbidden army suffered heavy casualties, and the navy on the warship was equipped with shields, although there were dead and wounded, but they did not hurt their vitality. With the sound of a drum, hundreds of black balls flew out of several warships at the same time, overwhelmingly heading straight for the forbidden army on the shore.
Miao Chengxun naturally knew what this was, and his face was so frightened that he ordered loudly: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly." He fled after the horse, and several lieutenants followed him closely. The forbidden army was in chaos and fled in all directions.
Fire and thunder fell from the sky with sparks, followed by explosions, and the smoke was filled, enveloping the entire Qinhuai River. The forbidden army that could not escape was blown up one by one, stumps and broken arms flew around, and the sound of crying and shouting resounded in the sky, turning the beautiful Qinhuai River into a hell on earth.
With the civil war, the people of Jinling fled home to take refuge, and the once lively street suddenly became silent, and there was no longer a single figure in sight. War is really not fun, looking at the wreckage all over the ground, Xiao Han shook his head and sighed: "Xing, the people are suffering; The ancients did not deceive me. β
Xue Dingfang stood beside him and said, "Master Xiao, there is no turning back when you open the bow, what should you do now, please give an order quickly." β
Wang Taibao followed and asked Xiao Han to preside over all matters, Xiao Han was no longer modest, and immediately ordered them to send fast horses to transfer Zhenhai Jiedu to Zheng Yanhua's troops into Beijing, and at the same time sent Yang Shui cavalry to surround the imperial city, encircle and suppress the left and right Shenwu army, Tianxing army, control crane army and other Li Yu's personal guards, and at the same time ordered Sun Zhen to send troops to control all the ministers of the court, and kill them directly if necessary.
The second sent people to contact Jin Qiuping, the commander of the Battle Tiger, and Ge Shaofeng, the commander of the Qianlong Dragon, so that they could find out where Li Congshan was under house arrest and prepare cameras to save people.
Third, the troops of Chizhou and Changzhou, which were stationed on the Yangtze River defense line, were urgently dispatched to Jinling to surround the capital, and martial law was imposed on the capital, and only entry and exit were allowed.
Fourth, he ordered the extermination of the supervising armies in various localities, and all military power was handed over to the local commanders and envoys to be fully responsible, and the directors of the political departments of each army were the number one leader, and only King Zheng was responsible.
Fifth, Xue Dingfang was responsible for inspecting the whole city, ordering the people not to go out, and those who violated the order were beheaded.
Sixth, he ordered Zhu Lingyun to lead 3,000 naval troops to block the Yangtze River defense line and ensure that no news would be leaked, so as to prevent the Great Song Dynasty from learning of the Southern Tang coup d'Γ©tat and taking advantage of the fire to loot.
Seventh, he ordered the Qianlong Commander Ge Shaofeng to find the six little heroes sent by Tianshan and the nine people of Meng, Tu, and Lou, and prepare to enter the palace with him to save people.
Wang Taibao and Xue Dingfang didn't expect Xiao Han to handle the matter so clearly in just a few minutes, and immediately agreed with great joy and immediately sent someone down to notify the execution.
