Chapter 395: On the Island
The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying.
In front of Chongming Island, the warships of the Fusang people have gradually touched the land, and groups of Fusang soldiers are getting off the boats and stepping on the land of Chongming Island.
"Damn, how could these Fusang people suddenly hit Chongming Island?" A soldier waited for the Fuso to attack, but he was complaining.
There were not many soldiers left on the island, and they had all gathered here at this time. And in fact, many people on Chongming Island didn't know General Li Ling's plan, so some of these soldiers had begun to become desperate.
"This time, I'm afraid we're going to sacrifice our lives for the country......" The soldier who complained earlier had a little more sadness in his eyes, "Hehe, I didn't expect to die on this Chongming Island in the end." β
"Everybody...... Don't worry too much. Fortunately, at this time, the general who was arranged by Qin Muyan to stay on the island stood up. He glanced at the army of Fuso people who were gathering, in fact, at this moment, his heart was already full of worry, but he knew that at this time, if he showed fear or fear, it would make everyone below panic.
And once the morale of the army begins to be unstable, this battle with a huge disparity in strength will be even more unplayable. After all, because of the difference in numbers, their own side is already worried and has no will to fight.
"In fact, there are more of us than they are!" The general cleared his throat, pretended to be excited, and shouted, "The general has already seen through the conspiracy of the Fuso people, in fact, they went to the north bank today just to make a show." Today, the general and the army of the island are on their way back. It's just that there are enemy spies in our army, so the generals did not reveal the plan, but chose to hide the news for the time being. β
"Brothers, tell me! Do you want to annihilate all the Fuso people in one fell swoop today!? You tell me! Are you willing to let these Fusang people who dare to invade our Central Plains, launch aggression against us, and bring us war stay on Chongming Island forever!? β
The general's words directly made the hearts of all the soldiers become confused. But I have to admit that the fear and worry in everyone's hearts have faded a lot.
"Is it true that you say the general?"
"I don't know, it sounds like that."
"I also think that at least General Li Ling is also a notoriously smart person no matter what, how could he make such a mistake and not even be able to see through the enemy's tricks? Impossible. β
"Come on, that's obviously a lie. The general made it clear that he wanted us to serve him to the death, and he was worried that we would escape from the battle or join the enemy directly. β
The latter remarks also clearly reached the ears of the general, so he frowned, and threw another bombshell out of his mouth.
"I know that some of you may not believe what I say and think that I am lying to you. But please take a closer look at your surroundings! Didn't you notice that Qin Muyan and General Qin were gone? It's not just that General Qin Muyan is not here, but in addition, there are five hundred elite soldiers around you, haven't you noticed? β
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The general's words this time directly made all the soldiers talk.
"You see, I just said why General Qin was not here, and you also said that he had something. What is there to take with you five hundred elite soldiers? It seems that General Li is indeed coming with men and horses. β
"yes, I thought something was wrong from the beginning, and it seems that things really didn't come as I expected."
The general was obviously satisfied with the effect of his words this time, so he continued: "To tell you the truth, do you remember the envoy Mu Xiaojiumu who was forced to leave that night? He was not forced to leave, but teamed up with General Li Ling to stage a play, the purpose of which was to deceive the ears and eyes of the Fusang people. At this moment, Envoy Mu and General Qin were launching a surprise attack on the gathering place of the Fusang peopleββ! β
The general's words came to an abrupt end, because the current form no longer allowed him to continue.
The Fuso people have already assembled and begun to attack.
"Believe it or notβ" the general's face was eager, "everything I said is true, and fighting bravely is our best choice now!" Who of you wants to be embarrassed when General Lee brings people back? I promise that all those who fought bravely today, when General Li returns, I will definitely show their merits, and let General Li reward the three armies, and everyone will have a reward! Award people according to their contributions! β
Originally, the general's previous words had already made the soldiers begin to believe it, and he gave such a guarantee at this time. People say that there will be brave men under heavy rewards, and this is actually very reasonable. At least now, the morale of all the soldiers has been re-energized.
Not to mention that those soldiers were already able to kill the enemy without scruples and fears, but at least their fears had completely dissipated.
"Everyone, listen to me! Charge! β
On the one hand, he said the last words, but on the other hand, the general's heart was secretly thinking: General Li, you must come back as soon as possible......
So now, what is the situation on Li Ling's side?
"Hurry, hurry, full speed ahead!" Standing on the warship at the head, Li Ling was very calm, but in his heart, he was a little anxious.
He couldn't help but be in a hurry, because he still miscalculated one thing, that is: he didn't expect the speed of the Fuso warship to be so fast, or rather, he didn't expect the Fusang people to directly choose to break the cauldron this time.
What is a shipwreck?
The Fuso people were wrecked in the boat, and this time they attacked, except for manpower and armor, they did not carry anything else, not even food and grass.
In other words, the Fusang people have decided to succeed in this battle on Chongming Island this time.
If the Fuso people can win and successfully seize Chongming Island, then for them, all problems can be solved. Even if there is no food and grass, the supplies on Chongming Island can solve this problem.
But if you can't take Chongming Island as soon as possible, you will fall into a bitter battle. Then, even without the help of others, the Fuso people, who are scarce in food and grass, will be self-defeating.
In fact, the Fusang people really didn't want to continue to entangle with the Central Plains people, this battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River had lasted for too long, so long that the Fusang people didn't dare to continue fighting. The people of the Central Plains have a huge Central Plains behind them as a backing, and the lack of food and grass can be called up at any time, and the damage to the armor can also be replenished in time, even if there are too many deaths, they can be transferred as soon as possible. But they can't, if they want to replenish supplies or manpower, they can only choose to send people to Fusang to communicate, and then let people cross the sea.
The Fuso people will not be able to fight a protracted war.
Li Ling knew that he should have thought that with such a good opportunity, with the character of the Fusang people, they would definitely choose to break the boat. But there is no way, he just missed this.
This also led to the fact that the fleet led by Li Ling set off late, and the distance was even farther, and they couldn't even see the shadow of the Fusang people now.
Li Ling is now only afraid that the soldiers stationed on the island will not dare to fight to the death and give Chongming Island to others.
"Damn...... I should have brought some war horses out if I knew it! If you let the soldiers rush over the land, it is better to go by boat. β
Li Ling narrowed his eyes, and finally waved his hand, "Inform the next few boats to stop and rush to the direction of the camp from the land." β
"Yes, General!"
β¦β¦
On the other side, the North Shore.
Zhang Qi frowned, "You mean, although these ships were not left behind, someone noticed that there were only a few scattered figures on the deck?" β
The soldier nodded, "Yes, General, someone saw just now that when the Fuso warship left, there were not many people on the deck at all. β
Zhang Qi grinned, "What the hell, how come there are few people?" β
The soldier hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously said the judgment of himself and the others, "General, do you say that those Fusang people are not dividing their troops, and the ships that come back behind are their suspicious tactics?" β
Zhang Qi's brows furrowed suddenly, "What do you mean?" You have to be clear. β
When the soldier heard the words "what does it mean", he couldn't help but secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he thought that Zhang Qi was angry. It wasn't until Zhang Qi said, "When you make it clear", that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, it's such a general, do you think it's possible, in fact, the first time the Fuso people left, it was to transfer the people from several ships to other ships. Then the ships carrying the troops left directly, and the remaining few ships with no one were in order to deceive us, so that we would not soon find out that they had transferred all their troops? β
"What's that...... It's winding and winding, and it's really brain-consuming to listen to. Zhang Qi pursed his lips, "Sure enough, Lao Tzu is still more suitable for Yangmou, and there is a straightforward battle." β
"But if you think about it carefully, what you said may also make sense......" As soon as the words turned, Zhang Qimo rubbed his chin and muttered again, "That is to say, in fact, the Fusang people did not divide their troops at all, but directly sent all their men to Chongming Island......
"Hiss......" As he spoke, Zhang Qi suddenly gasped, "Speaking of which, the time for the Fusang people to set off ...... Quite a little before we discovered the anomaly? Damn it, can Li Ling still catch up with them? No, no, something will happen if it goes on like this, something will definitely happen! Fortunately, Lao Tzu also arranged for people to travel lightly halfway and increase their speed as soon as possible, otherwise it would be really troublesome. β
Thinking of this, Zhang Qi suddenly slapped his head again, "His grandmother has a leg!" That's not right, Wang Wei Xionglin set off later than Li Ling, so it's a fart...... Tsk, why did Lao Tzu get off the boat and come over here just now? β
Seeing Zhang Qi singing a one-man show here, the soldier always had the urge to laugh. Of course, he can only think about this kind of thing, and it is impossible to put it into practice. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will be hung up and beaten by Zhang Qi.
β¦β¦
Chongming Island, the wind roared, and the battle flags of the warring sides were hunting.
The sounds of fighting, screams, clattering swords, and angry roars have filled the battlefield.
In this most primitive and tragic fight, both the Central Plains and the Fusang have become completely able to understand each other's meaning. Because at this moment, no one is going to say a complete sentence anymore, and all that is left in everyone's mouth is basically those onomatopoeia.
It has been proven that when people are emotional, roaring is a more common way of expression than words, and onomatopoeia can also better express the emotions in people's hearts.
The war had just begun, but no matter who came over, it was absolutely impossible to see that the two sides of this battle had just come into contact.
That's right, only a few minutes have passed since the Fusang people rushed over and the garrison on Chongming Island shot the first wave of arrows. But many people on both sides have already fallen to the ground, and they will never get up.
As soon as the hand-to-hand battle began, both sides began to fight desperately. One after another, the living beings turned into corpses and fell to the ground, and the blood that flowed out of them was almost like a river. If nothing else, after this war, the land is likely to turn red even later.
Seeing the red-eyed Fusang people charging forward without fear of death, the general's heart began to become more and more uneasy. After the first wave of fighting, many people were already frightened due to the large number of deaths and the desperate energy of the Fuso people.
The generals could even guess that a considerable number of soldiers had already retreated in their hearts.
looked at the head of the next Fusang man with a knife, and the general's face was hideous. He understood that from now on, things were starting to get very troublesome. Despite his skillful words, he succeeded in convincing the soldiers to fight the Fuso. But in the face of the threat of death, in the face of the lives that are easily passed in front of his eyes, it is useless for him to say.
Now if you want to stabilize the faith and morale of these soldiers, you can only come with a sudden reinforcement. Otherwise, it will be in vain anyway.
Could it be that Chongming Island is really about to be lost?
The general spat out fiercely, and then a smile appeared on his hideous face.
Lost...... Let's lose it. He's done his best, he's tried to do his best, and he's done everything he can to defend the island. Although he said that if he really lost, he would feel sorry for the generals, but he really couldn't help it.
Reinforcements, reinforcements......
Hehe, the reinforcements are not divine soldiers, even if they are divine soldiers, it is impossible to fall from the sky.
When a divine soldier descends from the sky, it's just that it's easy.
It is impossible for a divine soldier to fall from the sky, and this world seems to be like this.
However, although it is impossible for the divine soldiers to fall from the sky, this does not mean that the reinforcements cannot come across the sea.
Just when the general was already on the verge of despair, a team of centaurs suddenly came out of the diagonal and killed!
