The banks of the river where Jiangzhou is located are already full of ups and downs of corpses and ship fragments.
Those official warships that wandered on the river arbitrarily, even chasing after the defeat, the navy ships that ran aground and washed up on the shore, dropped some of their sails and slowed down to reach the shore; they continued to use bows and arrows and projections. The artillery stones, throwing poles, bombarding and attacking all living creatures in the field of vision.
Most of the people who were alarmed in the camps distributed along the river outside Xunyang City could only retreat and dodge on the shore while yelling and shouting loudly, even picking up bows and arrows to shoot at them.
Only a few people with a little bit of courage and blood rushed into the tidal flats on the riverside against the rain of arrows flying from the boat, and the remaining surviving soldiers who were still struggling ashore were returned to the tow.
It’s just that their number is too small, and there are very few people willing to respond to them. Under the attack and harassment of the official warships, most of them are headless flies in a mess, or far away. Retreat from the dangerous place and stay on the sidelines, refusing to come over no matter what the call sign and yelling.
Therefore, there are still more remaining water sergeants who escaped in the water before they can swim to the river or swim in the river for a while and then be shot, and become a smear of red blood with a slow buffer brush. go with.
And Huang Chao, who happened to be standing on the head of the city, also looked at this scene with a green face. Even though he has gone through countless setbacks over the years, he has repeatedly defeated and fought and tempered a city and mind that is still in the front of the mountain; it took a long time to put down the horsewhip that was almost crushed into several segments. , And based on a voice between the teeth:
"Are the newly-formed navy of the Rebel army so unbearable... Is it true that these dog thieves will be allowed to brutalize my soldier brother?"
The left and right are silent and face-to-face. To say that the battle is dominating the battle, these rebel generals may not be afraid of who will go; but if you want to compete with the officers and soldiers on this water, it is really inevitable. Some reluctantly.
Especially after the chances of generals and military leaders who were originally good at water warfare, they died, disappeared, ran away and surrendered to the army. However, the Rebels’ shortcomings and deficiencies in this area have not been able to make up for it. of;
Although they had recruited a lot before, the generation of fish households and boat people who lived in Poyang Lake and along the river for many years served as a supplement to the rebel navy. But it is one thing to support them to provide transportation and cooperation for the rebels; it is another thing to train and organize them into a consistently qualified army.
The scenes and results of the attack by the officers and navy divisions this time are undoubtedly the best portrayal of their specific combat capabilities;
"Let me go and have a try... You can't just let the official dog wreak havoc..."
It was Meng Kai, the Zuojun envoy, who was clinging to his nickname "Flying Mountain Tiger", who spoke out. He resolutely and decisively went out.
"Well, I allow you to dismantle the equipment in the city and call in the manpower. No matter what the cost, you must give me the arrogance of those official dogs..."
Huang Chao suddenly expressed his face slowly and broadly.
"promise.."
"The one who risked his death to save lives by the river is another athlete under that movie..."
After Meng Kai led the people to fly away, he said to the left and right again.
"Going back to the King of Huang, it is the late Xiang (first) Zuo who led the former detective general Zhu Laosan. Now he is temporarily under the command of Gai (Hong) to stop the generals from listening to school..."
Someone replied immediately.
"There is really another brave and righteous man. A mere person would be too awkward.. He will be transferred to my former army and horse team immediately. It can be used as a deputy prince..."
"Return to King Huang, there is no inner feeling in this..."
At this time, another subordinate officer bit the bullet and said.
"This Older Zhu's elder brother is Zhu (cun) who led his troops to leave Fuzhou and voted in Jiangling..."
"So what? Isn't it possible that he's risking his death for our rebels right now and working hard for us?"
Huang Chao raised his eyebrows and lowered the corners of his mouth slightly. He was so angry that he couldn't help but backed away a few steps.
"Don't think I don't know your private activities, don't say that he has a brother who is out of the country and he needs to beware of everything; don't you see less in the military office with that side... Why don't you see it? ..."
"Huang Wang Mingjian, Huang Wang forgives his sins..."
The subordinate official suddenly changed his face and knelt down on the ground and paused, but he secretly looked at the right long Shi Huangrui who was not far away, asking for help.
"You're a killer, don't you drag on to accept punishment... Is it embarrassing to stay here..."
At this time, it was Huang Rui, the secretary of the palm, who reprimanded Huang Chao.
"The king doesn't need to bother about this sibling. Now all the people and horses will have this happening right away, I am afraid that it will damage the majesty and momentum of the rebels. Once the river is cut off for his generation, it is for control. It’s obstructed, and you have to do something else to make up for it..."
"Maybe I can divide the division into one to attack Danyang and Jianye City nearby, so that they have no time to take care of themselves..."
The veteran Pang Shigu who was present could not help but ask for his life.
"Maybe Zhou Bao, the thief in Zhexi Town, can call back these navy ships..."
"..."
But another general, Fei Chuangu, wanted to say something but hesitated to say something, but he thought of Wang Chongba, a powerful general who had left for this reason.
At this time, there were not many living people left on the riverbanks and tidal flats where the dead and wounded. Those who rescued the wounded and surviving soldiers were also under the cannons fired by the officers and soldiers, and they paid a lot of casualties on the spot. And the smooth road was dyed red.
However, when Meng Kai led the people to disassemble the bed crossbows and stone cannons that were shipped to the riverside, they began to wind up and calibrate the official warships on the river. However, seeing that the other party had already discovered something in general, he gave him several things. A huge polished pebble was thrown over.
Although it was not exactly where the crossbow and stone cannons were located, it was the soldiers who were operating in shock, scattered on the spot to escape for a while. At this time, it was also the old Zhu, who had been soaked in blood and sweat, and led people to push a few big cards and baffles over to cover them before the heavy equipment.
Only then was Meng Kai able to drag those who had been manipulated back by hitting and scolding them, and began to recharge the official army warships. However, the other party has already noticed the abnormality of his place, and throws more and more dense arrows and flints at him;
A baffle was lit on the spot, another big card was smashed, and the two supporting people behind were thrown out; one of them was helpless and helped to get up slowly, but the other was half-blooded on the spot. Breathless.
At this time, one of the bed crossbows was finally wound up, and he couldn’t wait to shoot out a clay pot full of hot charcoal fire; then, after passing through the air with a faint smoke trail, it was not enough to strike down. On the near side of an official ship, a cloud of water and fleeting smoke splashed.
Seeing this scene, Meng Kai's heart convulsed heavily, but he urged the launch of other equipment; however, as if he was cursed by some bad luck, the stone eggs and charcoal fire projected out one after another in a hurry. The jars failed to hit and turned into splashes in the river.
However, the closest official ship seemed frightened. It suddenly started rowing down the pole, and slowly moved away from the shore; then with the sound of the trumpet on the ship, the other official ships were It is gathered towards this side. .
Half an hour later, Zhu Laosan, who was shocked, dragged Meng Kai, who was already somewhat paranoid, and ran for a long while until he stumbled and stepped into a pit, then rolled into a ball and stopped. And the equipment they used to hit the official ships on the river, but they have disappeared in the flames and shattered smoke and dust.
In vain, he could only be beaten passively. The extremely suffocated mood and depression made Meng Kai's heart almost exploded; he suddenly grabbed Zhu Lao San, who had just saved his life:
"We will come back again. There are still some equipment and spare parts in the city. I don't believe that we can leave some of these dog thieves to defend their lives..."
And Huang Chao and the others, who were watching from the front of the city, also uttered various sighs in the midst of a certain expectation and disappointment.
"It's a pity that this Meng Huzi... Order the patrol team and inspection team of this formation to gather the heads of the people who run away by the river... and then order all the camps to evacuate at least three miles from the river... The order is passed down to strengthen day and night patrols, and more horse-riding horses will be sent to guard against any sneak attacks by officials and dogs."
On the Xunyang Tower, everyone present seemed to have no mood and atmosphere to go to a banquet; instead, they just drank without a word; after all, the loss of the army and navy attack this time is relative to the rebels. On the whole, it is not big, but the face and the loss of people's hearts lost as a result are simply irreparable for a while. ；
. . . . . .
And among the thousands of boats on the river surface, Li Baozhen, the naval envoy of the west Zhejiang navy and the envoy of the Danyang army, also stroked his beard and laughed to the left and the right:
"Zhongerlang's deeds are very good, and should be rewarded for his merits. After this incident, do you still dare to underestimate my Zhexi children?. It can also be regarded as making the monarch face up for Zhou (bao), and it is also a substitute for him. Gao Bohai and Gao Da have all reported their revenge..."
"Therefore, after the incident, not only will the king be rewarded with great rewards, even if it is from the Huaizhen side, it is also indispensable. It is a pity that water warfare is not comparable to killing the enemy on land. Even if it kills the thief chief, it will not be possible. On the spot, the first argument was made."
"The military ambassador's words are bad..."
Suddenly there is an interface by the subordinates who hear the song and know the elegance
"The slain chief thief was killed by artillery stones, and at least a dozen bone erosions were destroyed on the spot. It is obvious to all the soldiers on board, but it cannot be erased and ignored."
"What you said is also a truth, let the military officer write it down, and it can be regarded as the common deed of everyone."
Li Baozhen also agreed quite satisfactorily.
"By the way, blow the trumpet to attack the enemy's right forward and the Chinese military ship on the river bank. After the artillery stones are exhausted, the team can be closed; so as not to give grass thieves a place to take advantage after the darkening of the sky..."
He remembered something and then asked.
"Besides, the left forward who chased the dead enemy hasn't returned yet... Send a fast-squeezing horse boat to send the letter, so that it will not chase too far and be separated from the main formation... In case of a boat sailing in the dark, there is not much. If the bump is damaged, then the result of another battle will not be so complete."
"Telling..."
It hasn’t been long before the minister who turned to get off the ship and left; suddenly someone yelled out of the gondola that was watching from the mast of the ship.
"It seems that the navy's left wing has returned from the boat..."
"Now I feel relieved..."
Li Baozhen was somewhat satisfied with his beard. Then I heard a louder exclamation:
"The boat on the left seems to be burning, and there are fireworks on the river..."
"what.."
Li Baozhen was shocked, rubbing his hands and twisting several beards, but he didn't care about the tingling of the chin, and staring intently toward the river, he only saw a red glow in the gloomy sky. And the diffused smoke, but I still did not see the shadow of the boat that I had expected.
At this time, there was a vague sound of thunder in the distance, and he couldn't help but glance at the still clear sky, not as if it was about to usher in a shower.
Well, I have worked very hard, and finally I can't pay the debt
