The rise of the prince

Chapter 623

He climbed from a poor and humble farmer's family to his current position, except for the prince's promotion, the most important thing is the tenacity not to admit defeat.

Di Zhi doesn't like to talk, and he can bear with Yongming County Master again and again. He can pretend not to see the discrimination and injustice of the outside world and the military people in the court. Don't admit defeat and compromise.

Those people, the ministers of the six ministries, the prince's gang, the more they want him to lose, the more they try to make him lose, the more he wants to win!

Seeing their desperation and unscrupulous actions, they must have reached the point where they are dying and dying. The more arrogant they are, the more guilty they are, Di Zhi clenched his fists tightly.

So, definitely win!

Looking at the situation in the distance, he saw many Liao people surrendering and being escorted out of the woods. Di Zhi directly ordered: "I will give you an order, and all those who surrender will be shot. Don't delay here. The troops on the south bank will be put on board, and the north bank will advance half a mile." , also shrunk to board the boat, and head north after an hour, we will meet the main force of the Liao Kingdom."

The orderly obeyed the order and began to raise the semaphore on the bow.

Visual inspection estimated that there were more than 300 prisoners of war, and most of them surrendered voluntarily, but he only had 5000 people, and the main force of the Liao army was at least [-]. It is impossible for him to keep people to deal with these prisoners of war, let alone let them board the ship.

He wasn't sure if these people would become the Liao Army again after letting them go, so let most of the recruits who had never been on the battlefield see their blood. Di Zhi didn't show any mercy, because he had to win.

In the afternoon, the long queue of ships continued to head north. In this encounter, which took less than an hour from the beginning to the end, Jing Jun wiped out many enemies, but it was too late to count them. Only a few soldiers were injured and no one was killed.

It is mainly due to the firepower preparation of the two fireships and the lack of experience of the Heliao people.After the sufficient firepower preparations of "Admiral Qirui" and "Admiral Qifang", the Liao army was actually retreated before the infantry disembarked, and they had almost no fighting spirit. Most people only thought about how to escape from this hell , so there is no thought of resistance at all.

At the same time, more than 300 unarmed prisoners of war were shot by Di Zhi's order. Many soldiers of the new army went to the battlefield for the first time. Suddenly changed.

The mighty army continued to march west along the river. After this incident, Feng Cheng, the businessman who was in charge of guiding the way, looked at the young general standing at the bow, dressed in iron armor and holding the hilt of his sword, and suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure.

It was obvious that General Di was approachable and approachable before, and he often talked to him, but now he has a sense of distance, and he dare not approach him rashly.

The sunset glow is as red as blood, throwing thousands of miles into the sky, a fiery red boundary separates the sky and the earth, and sprinkles the blood light on the earth.

After a sunny day, in the evening, a magnificent and terrifying scene appeared between the sky and the earth, and the blood in the sky was disturbing. Yelu Dashi was leading many high-ranking Khitan generals to inspect the barracks to stabilize the morale of the army. Seeing this scene, he looked up and froze in place.

Lugou is the name of the upper reaches of the Haihe River. In the big camp guarding the river by the side of Lugou, many Liao soldiers also looked up at the sky.

The endless blood, and the dark mountains backlit in the distance, reflected the Lugou in front of the camp as a river of blood.

The sky fell to the bottom of the river, dyed into a bloody river, "blood flows into a river". Yelu Dashi couldn't help thinking, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, then shook his head and silently prayed for the blessing of the Buddha.

Slowly, many soldiers slowly squeezed towards the bank of the camp, and the bustling people stretched their heads to look. Yelu Dashi and the generals were puzzled, and rode to the south fence and looked along the river.

In the distance, under the sky full of sunset clouds, above the coquettish blood river, tall white sails are connected together, reflected in the blood-red water, slowly heading towards the west.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the huge monster on the river in the distance.

A thought arose in Yelu Dashi's mind, Jingguo people are here, where is Xiao Qian?

No one spoke, but everyone's hearts sank. Jingguo's fleet sailed westward. Xiao Qian, who stopped them in Yangcun, and the soldiers of the third battalion were there.

The result must not be very good, but no one will say it, just acquiesce.

In the strange blood-colored sunset that night, the high-ranking generals of the Liao Kingdom were silent, and Jing Guo's huge fleet that came along the river stopped at the river bank four or five miles away from the camp, and did not continue westward.

That night was destined to be a sleepless night for the Liao generals.

Although there are not as many Jing troops on the south bank as they are, they are already under great pressure, but now another Jing army has come down the river. They have no peace.

Moreover, the people of Jingguo were on the boat, and such a big boat had never been seen before. If they didn't disembark, the battle would be difficult to fight.

In the end, Yelu Dashi and the generals came to the conclusion that they should concentrate their forces and find a way to deal with the Jing army on the shore as soon as possible!
At the same time, a scout team was sent south to look for Prime Minister Xiao Qian of the Northern Mansion, and to monitor the movements of the Jingguo people's fleet at all times. As soon as they disembarked, they would concentrate their forces and wipe them out on the shore quickly.

Standing on the highest point of the hillside, Li Xingzhou could vaguely see Di Zhi's fleet in the distance, a large cloud of fire covered the sky, and the white sails under the fiery red sky, if not for the fact that he was in a cruel battlefield, the scene would have been as beautiful as an art scroll in the scene.

"Di Zhi is here." Li Xingzhou said to Wei Yubai and Liu Ji beside him.

Wei Yubai was very excited, "Now we can move on!" The reason why they didn't move on was because they were waiting for Dizhi's fleet. Although they had superior firepower, the Liao people destroyed the bridge on Lugou, and they would inevitably lose money if they crossed the river violently. heavy.

Li Xingzhou clicked, now they are on the south bank, and Di Zhi is on the north bank. Although there are few people, they have already formed a pincer attack on the Liao army.

At night, all the heads of the new army and the officers on it gathered on the flagship deck, a total of six to seventy people, and the torches illuminated the surroundings, and the sky and the Milky Way were shining brightly, illuminating the earth.

"We will disembark tomorrow. At that time, the Liao people are likely to concentrate their forces and want to destroy us. It is enough for them to leave a few thousand people to block the river bank to prevent the prince from crossing the river. So we may face more than 2 Liao people, or even more. You guys Afraid."

"Don't be afraid!" Everyone was full of confidence. After the battle during the day, the new army had a clearer positioning of its combat power.

"This time is different from the daytime." Di Zhi said earnestly: "All the ships combined, more than 90 guns, can provide fire support for us from the side in the river, but we still need to rely on ourselves to win the frontal battle. Fight head-on."

Everyone was silent for a while, and then someone came: "Commander, don't worry, the people under me have never fought any battles, but they are not cowards. Give me an order, and I will never retreat."

"It's the same with our battalion. Don't worry about the commander. If anyone dares to run away, I'll shoot him right away!"

"I don't think this kind of thing can happen in our new army. Everyone is united, and there is nothing we dare not fight."

"That is, don't worry about the commander, I will personally lead the team in a fight, and I will never take a step back."

"."

Seeing everyone talking, Di Zhi nodded: "This battle is about the honor and disgrace of the new army and the fate of the country. No one in the world is optimistic about us, but we want to win a big battle. When we go back, we will tell the sergeants well, so that if they die unfortunately , and know why he died."

"Yes!" The crowd clasped their hands together, looking resolute. Di Zhi looked at them and suddenly felt relieved.

"General Yan, we will take people off the ship tomorrow. You will command the two fireships and eight troop carriers. Find a suitable position on the river and give us fire support." Di Zhi said to Yan Shen.

Yan Shen smiled and patted his chest: "Just don't worry, you will never make mistakes!"
