"Report——"
The Fujian-Vietnam warships were attacked inexplicably. Many Fujian-Vietnam naval forces did not even know how they died. A sentry responsible for observing the military situation urgently shouted: "General, there is thunder in the dense forest. Maybe we have offended the gods." , sent down the punishment from heaven!”
"What?!"
Mu Yang was shocked when he heard this. .
Most of the countries with tribal alliances like theirs admire the gods, and the tattoos on their bodies are mostly based on the totems of the gods enshrined by their own tribes.
Now when I heard the sentry say that there was a god in the woods, I was immediately frightened and thought that I had really offended the god.
After all, they had never heard of or seen this kind of attack.
In a mixture of shock and anger, Mu Yang didn't think about it in a hurry. He could only choose the lesser of two powers, gave up rescuing Feiyang's men, and shouted: "Quick! Order all the ships to leave the river bank and avoid this forest!" "
Thinking about it in Mu Yang, as long as he didn't get close to this forest, the gods would not punish him. Even if he lost a few warships and some naval forces, as long as he could keep the main force, it would be good.
In just a moment, the Fujian-Vietnam Songxi Navy fleet, eager to escape, accelerated away from the river bank and rushed towards the Shipu camp.
Half an hour later, the Minyue Songxi Navy sailed towards the Shipu waters with favorable wind and current.
The river here has become much narrower, and the rugged mountains on both sides determine that the waters of Shipu are fast, turbulent, and covered with reefs.
Under such water conditions, warships in the past were cautious for fear of hitting the reef.
However, the Minyue navy, which was eager to escape at this time, could not take care of so many and went on a rampage one by one.
At the beginning, some small reefs were manageable, but as the speed of the warship continued to increase, the dangerous places that could have been easily avoided became a disaster that could not be avoided.
"Bang bang bang"
A series of collision sounds followed one after another, and the warship seemed to have been split open by a giant ax. A deep hole was opened, and then the hole continued to expand, and sawdust flew across, forming a huge hole.
The turbulent river water was like a tadpole finding its mother, excitedly pouring into those huge holes. Many warships sank one after another because of the inflow of river water.
Other warships that were not in distress saw this situation and slowed down one after another. However, when they looked back behind them, the debris of the warship floating in the water, still burning with flames, actually floated towards them.
If they are approached by these warship debris, the warship they are in will definitely be set on fire, and they will definitely die by then.
Therefore, in this situation, the only way to have a chance of survival is to risk crossing the dangerous shoal.
After all, it was an elite army skilled in water warfare. Although one or two of the ten ships were unlucky enough to sink, the main force did not suffer much loss and quickly approached the Shipu camp.
Seeing that the water surface gradually widened and the water was no longer so turbulent, the general Minyue navy breathed a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, just when they thought they were about to escape danger, the fleet in front suddenly shook and their speed dropped to zero.
Caught off guard, most of the Fujian and Yue naval forces staggered, fell down, and shouted: "What's going on!?"
Taking advantage of the morning sun, a few brave sentries climbed up to the watchtower and looked towards the water. They were shocked: "It's a river lock!"
"It's over, it's completely over now!"
When all the Fujian and Yue naval forces heard the words "Block the River", they suddenly felt despair.
This extremely bad news soon reached Mu Yang's ears. Mu Yang was stunned, with the hair all over his body standing on his head, and cold sweat breaking out.
He never expected that he would be completely defeated after only one attack.
Who arranged this river lock?
If those thunderous attacks were divine punishment sent by the gods, then it couldn’t possibly be that this Jiangsuo was also a divine punishment, right?
Obviously, this was definitely done by the Qin army!
However, how could the Qin army keep track of its own movements at any time? Could it be that there is an eye in the sky looking at me?
Thinking of this, Mu Yang felt very ridiculous, but he couldn't help but look up.
However, it’s okay if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
I don't know since when, there were more than a dozen spherical-looking things floating in the air above the head of my fleet.
"What is this?"
Mu Yang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found someone above him, and shouted: "Quick! Shoot the arrow quickly! There is someone in the sky!"
"Um?"
After hearing Mu Yang's order, everyone on the warship looked confused and looked up.
However, before they could bend their bows and nock arrows, black dots kept falling above their heads, shocking them.
"No! Something fell!"
"咻咻咻～～"
Countless clay pots filled with kerosene continued to fall from the hanging basket under the hot air balloon, immediately covering the entire Minyue Navy.
In less than a moment, one warship after another turned into blazing fire, covering the entire river.
"ah--"
The Minyue navy screamed and cursed, their clothes were on fire, and they were burned so hard that they jumped from the fireboat into the river.
"It's over!"
This is the truest thought in the minds of the Fujian and Yue navy generals.
The building is on the verge of collapse, no one is willing to die, and no one can stop the current situation.
He was obviously less than a hundred meters away from the camp, but he died in front of his own house. Waves one after another ruthlessly swept away the Fujian-Vietnam navy that jumped into the river, swallowing them up in the rushing river.
Although the Fujian and Yue naval forces were very good at swimming, under this situation, even if they wanted to swim back to the camp, there was nothing they could do.
Because they have long regarded the fire oil falling from the sky as a punishment from the gods.
Even though they had escaped the thunder tribulation before, they still could not escape the fire tribulation.
Therefore, human power is insignificant before God.
"Why! Why is this happening!?"
Mu Yang, who was stunned and ashen-faced, watched hundreds of warships being swallowed by the fire. His heart was bleeding, but he could do nothing.
"My 30,000-strong naval force was defeated before I could show off my skills. What the hell is going on! Oh my god! How can I still have the honor to see the king! Even if I die, I won't have the honor to see my ancestors and the late king!"
The heartbroken Mu Yang knelt down on the deck with a plop, looking up at the hot air balloon slowly floating away, feeling resentful and powerless.
Although the heat wave was already rolling in front of him, at this moment, he turned a blind eye and his heart was full of regret and anger!
"General! Leave quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Mu Yang was not afraid of dying here, but his soldiers were afraid and kept stepping forward to pull him.
It's a pity that Mu Yang is already despondent at this time, and the only way to atone for his sins is to die.
I saw him slowly shaking his head and sighing:
"Let's go. I have lost all the Songxi navy, and Minyue's strength has been exhausted. Even if I go back, I will still be the sinner of Minyue. It is better to live and die with the fleet. Maybe it can alleviate my sins and the anger of the king."
"this"
When the soldiers heard this, they were speechless, but they couldn't accompany Mu Yang to die together, so they all bowed respectfully to Mu Yang, then jumped off the ship and fled for their lives.
Soon, the fire burned through the battleship where Mu Yang was located. He stood up calmly, moved a table, and sat down majestically, looking in the direction of the capital of Fujian and Yue.
In just a moment, the fire swallowed him up and turned him into a part of the sea of fire.
At the same time, Zhao Hao, who came to the river bank on horseback, quietly looked at the sea of fire in front of him, feeling a little sad in his heart, and sighed softly: "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to use these new weapons. In short, there are injuries." That’s Tianhe!”
Hearing this, Wu Ya and the others behind him looked at each other with unbearable expressions on their faces.
The next moment, the iron lock blocking the river was broken by the fire, and there was a "bang" sound. A moment later, the warships still carrying blazing fire rushed towards the Shipu camp like carps crossing the river.
Immediately afterwards, the Shipu Camp was also ignited by the broken sparks from the collision of the warships, turning into a sea of fire on land.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao waved his hand. Young Master Liang behind him stepped forward and said cautiously: "Brother Hao, are we going to take advantage of the victory and destroy Minyue?"
Zhao Hao thought for a while and muttered: "Although we destroyed the Minyue navy, Minyue not only had a navy, but also an army, and those armies should not be underestimated. In my opinion, we should first build a pontoon bridge and cross the river. Cross Songxi and take Shipu Camp as our own, completely solving our worries!"
Hearing this, Young Master Gao immediately stepped forward and asked for orders: "Brother Hao, can you leave the construction of the pontoon bridge to me?"
"With Third Brother here, I feel relieved!"
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.
Soon, Gongzi Gao went down and ordered people to build a pontoon bridge.
At this moment, Zhao Hao's eyes suddenly fell on the Qin Jun next to Gong Ziliang, and asked curiously: "What is your name? Why have I never heard of you?"
"Back to the young master, my name is Ji Bu. He was a ranger before and he just joined the army not long ago!"
"Ji Bu?"
Zhao Hao was surprised: "You said your name is Ji Bu!?"
"Yes, yes"
Ji Bu hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "The villain was originally from Chu. He was later killed by the nobles of Chu, resulting in the death of his family. Once I accidentally saw a newspaper saying that the young master went to the South China Sea. The villain has always heard that the young master is wise. Then he has the heart to seek refuge;
Unfortunately, after several months of wandering, nothing was found. Later, I speculated that the young master would conquer South Vietnam, so he joined the army directly. Unexpectedly, he actually met the young master;
The incident happened suddenly yesterday and I didn’t have time to explain the details. I still hope that the young master will atone for his sins.”
"Hahaha, Brother Hao's reputation is far and wide, so he has talented people to help him. Fortunately, Ji Bu showed up in time, otherwise I would have died on the battlefield yesterday!"
Before Zhao Hao could speak, Gong Ziliang on the side took the lead and said: "Ji Bu is my savior, brother Hao!"
"Well"
Zhao Hao's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say. He didn't mean to blame Ji Bu. He was just surprised that he came to seek refuge with him. After all, Ji Bu still had a certain reputation in history.
After thinking about it, Zhao Hao glanced at Gong Ziliang, then at Ji Bu, and said thoughtfully: "You have made great contributions in this battle, and you are the savior of my ninth brother, so I will put you under my control." How about I serve as the captain under Brother Ninth and wait until the conquest of South Vietnam is over to discuss merits and rewards?"
"Thank you, sir!"
Ji Bu was overjoyed and quickly saluted Zhao Hao.
Gong Ziliang nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Hao brother, do you have any plans for me?"
"Yes! Come with me back to the Yangjiaoshan camp later to escort the food and grass!"
"No, Ji Bu and I are enough to escort food and grass. Why are you going back?"
"The secret must not be revealed!"
Zhao Hao smiled mysteriously, then turned his horse's head and walked towards the forest.
Gong Ziliang was confused and subconsciously looked at Wu Ya, but saw Wu Ya's expression was indifferent and ignored him at all. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "I know even if you don't tell me, it's just to kill Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao." Offal?"
At this time, the Linchen City shogunate, which had just ended the war, was filled with joy.
Wang Jian came back from the dead, and the Nanhai subordinates who were loyal to him were all surprised and happy, and they all told him about their lovesickness.
"Old general, you made the general cry so hard. I thought you were..."
"Yes, old general, even the last general wanted to follow you."
"The old general is alive. God bless our Qin Dynasty. God bless our Qin Dynasty. Come on, cheers!"
"Dry--!"
After all the generals drank the wine, Wang Jian looked around them with a smile: "It's not that I'm deliberately deceiving you. It's really Zhao Tuo who has a vicious mind and has repeatedly designed to frame me. I have to guard against it."
"Damn Zhao Tuo, we trust him so much in vain and dare to murder the old general!"
"Hmph! These rebellious officials and traitors should be found by everyone and punished!"
"If he dared to come last night, the general would definitely kill him under his horse and cut him into pieces with a thousand swords!"
"That's right! Thieves like Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao deserve death!"
"Hehehe"
Seeing the generals filled with righteous indignation, Wang Jian chuckled and waved his hands: "Zhao Tuo, although Ren Xiao deserves death, they have 50,000 rebels in their hands, and we have less than 20,000. It is still difficult to deal with them. of"
"Old General, is there no news from Your Majesty?"
When Wu Nian heard this, he frowned and said, "If your Majesty orders it, the 300,000 troops stationed on the periphery can be used by us at any time!"
"Your Majesty was furious when he learned about Zhao Tuo. At this time, his old illness has relapsed. He is resting in the backyard. I can't disturb him!"
Wang Jian shook his head and sighed.
"However, the military situation is urgent now. If Zhao Tuo orders an attack on the city, we still don't know how long we can resist it. If His Majesty is in danger, how will we explain to Young Master Hao?"
"Yes, old general, how about we ask His Majesty for instructions together?"
When the generals heard what Wu Nian said, they all agreed.
At this moment, Mu Lin came from outside, cupped his hands and said, "Old General, Han Xin and Sima Chao are back!"
"Okay, let them in!"
Soon, Sima Chao and Han Xin appeared in Datang, the shogunate.
"Old general, I will finally accuse you!"
Sima Zhen learned from Han Xin that Wang Jian was still alive, so he rushed back to Linchen City without stopping and confessed to Wang Jian: "The last general was ordered to guard Nanhai Port, but unexpectedly the rebels came out from behind, the last general"
"Do not blame you."
Wang Jian helped him up, looked him up and down and said with a smile, "I hope he's not hurt!"
"Old General, the last general received the order from the young master and rushed to Nanhai Port. As a result, Nanhai Port was already a sea of fire. Later, we searched along the direction of Zhao Tuo's military camp, but we could not find any trace of the artillery or the rebels."
Han Xin had a look of helplessness on his face. He drank the northwest wind with Sima Chao all night, and he looked a little haggard.
The artillery was so heavy, yet it left no wheel marks. This was really strange, and even a smart person like Han Xin couldn't figure it out.
In fact, in Sima Chao's mind, if the artillery can be recovered, even if the number is smaller than Zhao Tuo's army, it is still possible to defeat Zhao Tuo's army, because he has seen the power of the artillery with his own eyes.
If Zhao Tuo's army gets those artillery pieces, it will be like adding more power to a tiger.
Linchen City may not be able to be defended at all.
If your majesty falls into the hands of Zhao Tuo at that time, he will really be holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.
