Wu Shaofu frowned: "General, it is impossible to completely block the enemy's rockets. The closer they are, the more people will be attacked. Once more rockets are hit, even wet straw bales and cowhide will not be able to block the flames." Yes, our boat is small, and it will be doomed if it catches fire. Anyway, there is a sneak attack from the Water God Team, so there is no need for us to rush in like this. Let’s retreat first while the distance is still far away!”
Zhu Chaoshi said sternly: "Withdraw? Just throw more than 200 brothers into the water and leave them alone? Do you really believe that these 200 people can capsize their entire fleet under the water? If we don't attack with all our strength, attract the enemy As long as there is a slight abnormality in the bottom of the ship, the enemy will be able to counterattack. Besides, we are against the wind now. We can't outrun the enemy warships downwind by just paddling. Instead of chasing them to death, it is better to let go now. "Bo, Wu Shaofu, just pass on my military orders. If you do anything to shake the morale of the army again, I will be the first to kill you!"
As he spoke, he drew out the sword from his waist. Wu Shaofu, who was tall and thick, was also frightened by the majesty of a general like him. The sword light flashed on his face full of flesh. He gritted his teeth and said: " Since the general has issued a strict order, I will carry it out even if I risk my life."
As he spoke, he ran back to the back of the cabin, opened the back hatch, leaned out, took out the conch and blew a fierce blow.
The Tianshi Dao warships on both sides that had stopped and slowed down all blew their horns in response. The oars on both sides flew again, causing waves of turbid waves. There were two or three warships that were already on fire, and they could not care less. He went out to put out the fire, and just like a ball of fire, he quickly rushed towards the "Guojiang Dragon" in front.
Following these ten warships, more than twenty fishing boats from the Nankang People's Army were also rushing towards the Jin army's fleet at their maximum speed. They probably saw Zhu Chaoshi not abandoning them, so they began to hesitate. People came forward one after another, but their equipment was far inferior to those of the previous Tianshi Dao warships. There was neither wet straw nor rawhide cover, and even the cabin was not fully enclosed. Those scattered stones were smashed On their ship, many small holes were made in the roof and even the deck. Some soldiers covered in blood fell into the river screaming, while more sergeants who did not fall into the water did not want to be beaten passively, so they stood up one after another. On the deck, he used the bow and arrow in his hand to shoot at the warship on the opposite side.
It's just that they are three miles away from the enemy ship, and there is a headwind. At this distance, even the peerless archers like Hu Fan and Tan Pingzhi cannot hit the enemy ship, and their arrows often fly out four or five times. After ten steps, he fell powerlessly into the water, even out of reach of the Tianshi Tao warships that were still charging forward.
On the Crossing the River Dragon, He Wuji smiled and looked at the battle ahead. Yin Chan smiled happily and pointed at an enemy ship that was on fire and turned into a big fire ball that was slowly sinking and said: "These Although the demon thieves are good at handling ships, they still overestimate their capabilities. Just these ten ships want to attack our fleet. That is a dream. If we continue to attack like this, we can burn or sink them all before they get close to our warships. , I’m afraid the layout on the Hunjianglong in front of us will not be needed.”
Deng Qianzhi echoed: "Yes, Zhennan, I suggest that the warships of the former army can speed up and stop the Hunjianglong. Don't let these burning enemy ships ignite our Hunjianglong. That is for Blow up the enemy's main force, not these little thieves."
Zhang Shao also nodded: "It seems that this enemy army is a traitor who wants to sneak attack Yuzhang. They rely on some fishing boats left in Nankang and want to make another sneak attack. They think our army dare not fight with them on the water. , or simply treat us as a grain transport fleet. This way, destroying all these demon thieves will also dampen their morale."
He Wuji laughed: "I really believe now that it is Zhu Chaoshi, a landlubber, who is directing the demon thief to fight. He really surrendered to the demon thief, and he wanted to make a contribution in a hurry, so he tried to rely on the demon thief's ability to maneuver a boat and fight a Raid and seize my flagship. You see, the ships behind are much worse. I'm afraid they are probably the Nankangzhou County soldiers who defected with him, and the old demon thief is just a dozen ships rushing ahead. Give it to me Order, the ship with the Zhu character flag is not allowed, I will capture Zhu Chaoshi alive, and other attacking pirate ships are not allowed to approach Hunjianglong, I will destroy them all on the way!"
The messenger quickly issued his order, and He Wuji glanced behind him at the more than 100 rear army ships that were at a certain distance from his more than 30 warships, and said: "The order is sent to the central army and the rear army, Pull anchor and continue moving forward. These enemy fleets are just sneak attacks on Yuzhang and do not pose a threat to us. We will not leave them a chance to report back to Nankang. After this battle, we will rush to Nankang at full speed. This time Come back, I will also give them a surprise attack!"
Zhang Shao frowned: "Zhennan, this battle is not over yet. There may be changes. Otherwise, we should wait a little longer and completely clear the river before letting the Chinese rear army advance."
He Wuji waved his hand: "Zhang Canjun, you don't know much about water warfare. This Sangluo Island is different from ordinary rivers. It is a small island made of quicksand in the middle of the river. There are also many reefs around it. The stone is not easy to walk on, and the river in the back is wide and the river in front is narrow, like a wine jar, so this place is also called Fankou. Only through this narrow opening can you reach the wide river without any obstruction. "
Zhang Shao nodded thoughtfully and said: "Then Zhennan, what you mean is that after this water battle, dozens of enemy ships will be destroyed, and there will be thousands of enemy corpses floating on the river. These obstacles Is it possible that it will hit the grain transport ship of our army's rear team, directly hit it and sink it, or hit the reef and run aground?"
He Wuji nodded: "Yes, these reefs are mainly in the Sangluozhou area in the river, so not only can we not retreat, but we also need the fleet behind us to speed up and pass Sangluozhou quickly. The battle will be as easy as possible for me. The water surface in front of Sangluozhou was settled, and the warships in front were asked to signal the enemy. It was understandable that the Nankang militia was forced by the thieves and surrendered temporarily. As long as they could abandon the secret in time and surrender to the light, kill the thieves and surrender, We won’t ask them about their previous crime of committing crimes, but we will also give them merit.”
At this point, he paused: "Only Zhu Chaoshi and the demon thief will not be pardoned! Order our warships to concentrate on attacking the nine demon thief assault ships. Except for Zhu Chaoshi's flagship, I will personally capture Zhu Chaoshi!"
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, he saw the yellow dragon warship at the front guarding the Hunjiang Dragon. It shook violently, jumped from the water, and then sank rapidly, almost for only half a moment. Time completely and completely sank into the water without a trace!
