Chapter 173: Desperate Situation (I)
Chapter 173: Desperate Situation (I)
On the seventh day of the seventh month of the sixteenth year of the reign of the Emperor
On the bow tower of Wang Hongyi's flagship, he used a clairvoyant mirror to peek at the Wu Chu camp in the distance.
Wu Chu's sailor, the ship is three zhang high, one sè Dan lacquer, three floors in the upper, middle and lower floors, the rooms are complete, the sails are lined up, and the warship covers the river, which is indeed very grand.
At this time, Zhang Youzhi, Zhang Fanzhi, Shi Qian and others were surrounded.
Zhuang Guang and Shi Qian are the people of the Secret Wen Pavilion, the Duke of Shu travels, they take turns to serve, and today it is Shi Qian's turn.
A large number of pro-soldiers stood on the lower deck and deck, although there were many of them, except for the commanding orders, they were silent, and a sense of awe-inspiring cohesion was filled.
It can be seen that Wang Hongyi's luck is becoming more and more condensed.
After watching for a while, Wang Hongyi put down the binoculars and said to everyone: "The enemy ship is connected from end to end, the ship is strong, and although the momentum is strong, the advance and retreat are slow, and it can be attacked with fire." ”
"Lord, if you want a tailwind, you can choose a warrior to sail a boat, the ship is full of firewood, approaching the enemy ship, and setting fire to the wind, but because the Wu army's iron lock has claws, it can be caught and down, but I am afraid that it will not be able to be connected. ”
Since the 5th of July, there has been a simple wooden shield on the Wu ship, and the soldiers on the ship are hiding behind, so it is difficult for the fire gun to be the same as on the first day, unable to resist, and the Wu ship is connected by chains, but it can be grabbed and released at will, and it is a dream to burn it with a fire.
"The big war is difficult, and it depends on the soldiers' lives. Wang Hongyi said, ordering: "Order the army to move forward and fight again today!"
"No!"
At the sound of an order, 100 warships, carrying 20,000 soldiers, set sail and sailed upstream.
At this time, it was the morning, the mountains on both sides of the strait were faintly visible, only to see the dark clouds in the sky, the water surface on the river was turbulent, the river was rushing very fast, and the big trees in the distance were growing on the cliffside.
At this moment, all of a sudden, someone shouted, "Lord, look?"
Wang Hongyi was stunned, looked into the distance, and saw the waves on the river, but saw a giant snake floating on the river.
The ancients were the most important omens, and they couldn't help but panic.
Wang Hongyi saw this, looked at the railing, and felt that this snake was coming, not a good thing, as soon as he saw it, he felt that his eyebrows were tight, and the tripod was a little swaying.
But this thought can't be said, but suddenly smiled left and right and said: "Just about to fight, there is a snake from the Nanfu River, lonely to look at it, if the transformation of the dragon is not a dragon? ”
Zhang Youzhi immediately responded: "This is a heavenly omen to the lord, please ask the whole army." ”
Wang Hongyi nodded yes, so after a while, it immediately spread to the whole army, and at this time, it was against the wind and the wind was born, so the whole army cheered.
Wang Hongyi glanced left and right, it was a good thing that morale was high, but he still said solemnly: "The Wu-Chu coalition army has many large ships, and the number of people is above me, among which there are many sailors who have been crisscrossing the river for many years. ”
He turned to Zhang Fanzhi and said: "In this big battle, I will personally supervise the naval army, and the specific dispatch will be sent by you!"
Zhang Fan bowed straight and replied: "Don't dare to live up to the trust of the lord." ”
Wang Hongyi nodded, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, looking at it with an uneasy mood, only to see the distant sè Jiang Tianyi, the strong wind blew the flag hunting, Wang Hongyi suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and only after a long pause did he say: "Let's fight!"
Suddenly, the drums of war roared, and the sound shook the surface of the river.
Seven detachments, except for one to protect the flagship, all the others attacked at once.
At this time, with the wind down, the Wu-Yue coalition army was at a disadvantage, only to see six fleets attacking, flexible and moving, especially Lu Suhai, and personally led the fleet of seventeen ships to attack bravely, where it was unstoppable, and suddenly the fleet caught fire, the flames rushed, and the Wu-Chu coalition army lineup rushed to Luàn.
In the battle between the two sides, Lü Suhai's ship also caught fire, and Lü Suhai stood on the bow of the ship, although the arrows flew and the stones were scurrying, he was not moved, but only scolded the soldiers to extinguish the fire, and ordered the sailors below to continue to paddle forward, and then the fire was fired continuously, only to kill the clouds and water, and the blood stained the lake.
The Wu army's sailors and ships were more than one step superior to the Shu army in terms of strength.
But the Shu army has won many battles, and there is a hundred battles in the bones, and there is a "non-commissioned officer system", Wu Changhuo Chang has studied and cultivated martial arts, seeing this situation, not only did not waver, but gave birth to a determination, and there are fire guns and hand fire thunder, determined to fight against the water.
The two armies held their own and fought desperately.
From the morning to the afternoon, the sound of explosions, shouts of killing, and miserable screams filled the heavens and the earth, and the whole river, as far as the eye could see, was full of floating and unsunken wreckage and dead bodies, and the river was red for several miles.
With the battle, with fire guns and hand fire mines, the Shu army still had the upper hand.
At this time, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and after all, the Wu-Chu coalition army was numerous, even if it confronted the Shu army, there was still room to send a fleet to find Wang Hongyi's flagship.
"Lord, the battle is fierce, please return to the city, and the command here can be commanded by the ministers. Seeing this situation, Zhang Youzhi and Zhang Fanzhi couldn't help but change, and immediately persuaded Wang Hongyi not to take the risk himself, but to retreat to the distance to watch the battle.
Wang Hongyi was actually not willing to risk the locusts at all, but at this time, he was silent and raised his eyes to look at the sky.
With the great battle, I saw that in the sky, three clouds suddenly appeared, one is red gas, there is a green dragon in it, and there is also a red gas, the dragon inside already has a light purple gas, and the other is a white and red gas, there is a snake faintly inside, only to see two clouds in the southeast, united, directly attacking the red dragon dragon, the two sides confronted, the shape and spirit were prepared, fighting each other, and there was blood everywhere.
Wang Hongyi couldn't help but change, this situation is really difficult to describe, he knows that his luck is slightly insufficient, and he must not retreat at this time, once he retreats, it will be a big disaster immediately.
At that moment, Wang Hongyi refused: "Lone's soldiers are fighting to the death, Lone will never retreat, and he will give orders to the army, and before dusk, Lone will never retreat!"
As soon as these words came out, I saw a strong electric light suddenly in the southeast, shaped like a golden snake, rushing down from the sky, cutting through the sky, followed by a thunderclap, and the heavens and the earth shook!
In an instant, the sky is dark, the sand is flying, and the sky and the earth are changing!
At this moment, I suddenly saw the southern dragon qi, shè out of a red light, red as blood, the brilliance was scorching, like a tiger's roar, like a dragon, descending through the sky, and it was coming.
This is the second time, Wang Hongyi roared angrily, and the big tripod on the top was running, filled with green light.
"Boom!" There was a feeling of dizziness, and Wang Hongyi's tripod was hit by this red light and swayed.
The intensity of his momentum made him frown.
What's even more terrifying is that with this electric light and red light, the sky quickly turned into dark clouds, and after Wang Hongyi noticed this situation, his face suddenly changed greatly.
It's July, and there are thundershowers, although in fact the fires are all inside the ship, and this little thundershower will not get wet, but in the thunderstorm, the firearms cannot be used at the moment.
"Lord, the thunderstorm is coming, and it's not good for me, so please take it down!" Seeing this, Zhang Youzhi's face changed greatly and said.
Wang Hongyi hesitated for a moment, and finally gave an order: "At this time, it is close to dusk, and there is a thunderstorm, so there is a truce today." ”
When Zhang Youzhi heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the following to immediately convey the order, and the main ship slowly retreated.
Suddenly, in the direction of the east of the river, more than a dozen boat shadows appeared, and it was the warship of the Wu army.
"What's the matter, another enemy ship has appeared?" Zhang Fan said angrily, but he was too busy to order the fleet to retreat slowly, but at this moment, the giant ship shook violently.
Wang Hongyi was on a tall building, sitting upright and watching, and at this time, he almost fell.
"What's going on?" Zhang Fanzhi asked angrily.
"Oh no, the boat is shallow. A moment later, someone below reported it.
Wang Hongyi listened, was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "Order, the whole ship is ready, we have a hard battle." ”
Suddenly, the closed cabin was opened, and a large number of Shu troops poured out, these were the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom, and now the ship was still wearing heavy armor, preparing for a big battle.
At this time, there was a thunder in the sky, and the rain crackled down, just for a moment, between heaven and earth, all the white huā was water, it simply became a world of rain, and the ship building was blurry from a distance.
The rain hit the boat, splashing a layer of white méngméng rain mist, and in an instant, a thunderbolt was deafening.
Even at this moment, reports were constantly coming from the ship's building and deck.
"The enemy will be Ding Jie!"
"At this time, there is no way to use firearms, only to fight with knives, and the governor has ordered Jiāo to fight. ”
At this time, Ding Jie's eyes widened.
Originally, his fleet only had fifteen warships, and Wang Hongyi had twenty-one, and the Shu ships had firearms, so he was afraid that he would lose the upper hand, but at this time, it was completely different, and Shuzhong had lost its biggest support.
The news just reported made him stunned, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed: "It's the battleship of the Lord of Shu, it's raining from the sky, and it's stranded, this is the heavens that want to punish you! I, Ding Jie, will be ordered by heaven today to cut off your head and build this great achievement!"
As he spoke, he ordered: "The whole ship is attacking the big ship of the Shu army!"
Ding Jie's fleet rushed straight up, and at this time, the Shu army also desperately intercepted, but maybe it was Tianzhu, only to see Ding Jie's flagship, which broke through many interceptions and collided with Wang Hongyi's flagship.
With a "boom", Ding Jie shouted: "shè!"
Accompanied by the reported sharp sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, only listen to the sound of "poof", although the crossbow will be affected by cháo in the rain can not be used, but it is still possible to use it once or twice, so how can it care a lot?
As long as Wang Hongyi is killed, not to mention that làng costs some crossbows, it will cost tens of thousands, and King Wu will not blame.
Seeing the Shu ship, hit by this shè, although there were heavy armor and paper armor, the screams suddenly came and went, seeing this situation, the soldiers on the Wu ship, suddenly the battle spirit boiled.
Ding Jie finished his shè once, and when he saw the surrounding Shu ships desperately killing, he didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, wearing heavy armor, and roared angrily: "Kill, kill with me, as long as you kill the king thief, the world will be peaceful, and the king will not be stingy with rewards!"
"Kill, kill a wife!"
A large number of Wu troops were immediately encouraged, and they were red-eyed, and they rushed straight up along the strings of the two boats, and they had already started a bloody battle with the Shu army.
In an instant, Wang Hongyi had fallen into a desperate situation, and the whole situation was reversed.
