The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 102 Cannons in Qiongzhou ([-])

"Boom!"

Counting 10 minutes in a slightly tense atmosphere, suddenly, there was a loud noise from the coast.

Liu Hongyi stood up and said: "The enemy scout stepped on a mine!"

Zhao Dongting followed suit, "General Liu, speed up your army to the coast and wipe out the enemy!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Liu Hongyi clasped his fists and hurried out of the tent.

Zhao Dongting looked at the young man in sackcloth and said with a smile: "The victory is already decided, can you tell me who you are?"

The Yuan army and pirates really attacked Qiongzhou Island from Puqian Bay, which made him very happy, and he admired the young man in sackcloth even more.This guy is like Zhuge Liang alive, and his judgment on the battle situation is unpredictable, which makes people feel palpitating.

"Qin Han."

The young man in sackcloth replied slowly.

However, Zhao Dongting didn't know this name, he just nodded and said: "I will give you a reward when you return triumphantly."

The young man in sackcloth didn't speak any more.

On the ship of the Yuan Army and the Pirate Commander, Murong Chuan was originally standing proudly on the bow, with high spirits and murderous intent in his eyes, but at this moment, when he heard the explosion of landmines and the sudden explosion of flames on the shore, his expression could not stop changing slightly.

Even though he was not a general who led the army to fight, he could tell that there must be a Song army ambushing him.In other words, their movements have already been controlled by Song Jun.

Beside him is a tall and straight general of the Yuan army in black armor and a tasseled helmet. It is Tuo Heti, the commander of the Yuan army sent by Ali Hague to attack Qiongzhou this time.

Tohti and Ali Hague are both Uighurs, and they are brothers of Ali Hague's family, and they have won Ali Hague's trust and importance.He has a high forehead, straight nose, and distinct facial features, which is a typical Uighur appearance.Seeing the flames, he exclaimed in a low voice, "Song Jun already knows about our army's movements, so he is here to ambush!"

Murong Chuan didn't know how to fight, so he didn't decide decisively, but bowed slightly, and asked: "Marshal Tuoheti, what should we do then?"

Now only dozens of scouts have been sent to the island, even if they die, he doesn't feel bad.

At this moment, Murong Chuan felt a little bit withdrawn.

Tuoheti stared at the shore of Qiongzhou Island with deep-set eyes, pondered for a while, and said: "Mingjin withdraws troops! The whole army retreats!"

He knew the strength of the Song army on the island, and the Song army had ambushed right now. He had [-] soldiers and [-] pirates, but there were only more than [-] people. It was impossible to forcefully attack the island.Moreover, the combat effectiveness of those pirates is far from comparable to their Yuan soldiers.Although Ali Hague ordered him to capture Qiongzhou quickly, he also knew that there was nothing he could do, so he could only look for a better opportunity.

Fighting a war is not as simple as fighting in the rivers and lakes.If Song Jun had already let go of his posture, he could only die if he rushed forward.

However, before the sound of the golden ringing, behind their fleet, there was suddenly infinite flames shooting up into the sky, illuminating the night.

Dozens of large ships lined up horizontally, with flames in front of them, rushing towards the Yuan army and the pirate ship formation behind.

Tuo Heti turned his head suddenly, saw the fire, and his face looked a bit cold, "There is such a master in the Song Army, he cut off our army's retreat before fighting."

Murong Chuan looked more anxious than him, "Then what shall we do?"

These tens of thousands of pirates are his last family property, and they are also the reliance for him to stand up. If they are gone, then there is no hope for Murong Chuan in his life.

Tuo Heti said gloomyly: "The Song army in Qiongzhou has only more than [-] people, and the rest are all restrained by the rioters. I will watch them cut off the ship formation of our army. There should be no fewer than [-] soldiers on board. They will not be in full force." If there is an ambush on the shore, the maximum number of troops will be no more than [-]." He slammed his hands on the railing of the bow, "Beat the drums and march forward, the whole army lands on the island, and a decisive battle with the Song army!"

Murong Chuan stared and said anxiously: "Marshal, the Song army has ambushed, why don't we go to the island?"

Tuo Heti said: "The Song army is weak, even if there is an ambush, our army of [-] will have a good chance of winning against [-]! When you land on the island, you will lead your [-] soldiers to attack the Song army, and I will lead my soldiers to resist these attempts. The Song army who wants to cut off the back of our army. As long as our Dayuan iron cavalry takes off, those Song troops will not be able to withstand the charge of our iron cavalry. When the time comes, the Song army will be wiped out. Our army can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat. We have completely grasped the chance of victory!"

Hearing this, Murong Chuan felt slightly bitter in his heart.

He is not a fool, he knew that Tuo Heti asked him to lead his people to the island to attack the Song army because he wanted his own people to be targets.

However, if he wanted to enter the Yuan Dynasty, he would have to rely on Ali Hague, knowing that he was being used by others, but what could he do?
At that moment, he turned his head and shouted to the pirate leaders who were waiting for orders: "You lead the brothers to the island and beat back the Song army. Wealth and wealth can be expected!"

For these pirates, the biggest temptation is money, status and beautiful women.

Hearing that wealth and wealth can be expected, the desires of these pirate leaders were all seduced, ruthlessness appeared in their eyes, and they each took their orders.

They don't care if Song Jun has any ambushes. For them, even if their brothers die, it is worthwhile to exchange for their glory and wealth.It's just that those who are shrewd in their hearts are thinking that they must not be able to lead the brothers to the forefront later.

Soon, nearly a thousand warships of various types from the Yuan army and pirates sailed toward the coast of Qiongzhou.

The warships of the [-] Qiongzhou troops pressing up from behind were blocked by the warships of the Yuan army, which did not affect the warships in front for a while.

On the warships of the two armies, rockets shot at each other overwhelmingly, like fireworks in the sky.

Hundreds of people on the catapult on the warship pulled the rope, shouting loudly, and huge fireballs roared towards the opposing ship formation.

At this point, it is the Yuan army that has the upper hand.Their returning cannons are indeed powerful, and their range is farther than the Song Army's catapults.

Zhao and Luo personally sat in charge of the rear-end army, yelling constantly, making the fleet keep pressing forward.

The sound of drums and horns fluttered in the sea breeze.

His coach's warship was shot by the Yuan army's fireball, shaking erratically, and the flames spread instantly.

"Quickly put out the fire!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

The soldiers shouted and rushed to save them with buckets from the ship's deck.

One after another, soldiers fell to the ground with arrows.

Zhao Yuluo stood at the bow of the boat, refusing to give in, their eyes wide open.

Hundreds of shield soldiers in front of him firmly fixed the shields, which were more than half a person's height, on the board of the ship, blocking the rockets fired at them.

Behind them, there are densely packed archers shooting back at the warships of the Yuan army with rockets.

The pirates still used the old method when they plundered. Thousands of small boats were lowered from the big ship, and as the vanguard, they rushed to the coast at an extremely fast speed.

Of course, Murong Chuan would not rush up by himself foolishly, and then just stay on Tuo Heti's handsome boat.

On the coast of Qiongzhou, the endless stretches of soldiers of the Song Army rushed out of the forest, led by hundreds of catapults.

All the army formations stopped in front of the beach, and the soldiers holding the command flag received a signal from the commander, pointed the command flag straight ahead, and shouted loudly: "Cannon!"

The sound of drums was muffled rhythmically.

thump.

dong dong dong.

thump.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

The soldiers pulling the reins pulled the reins to the end with all their strength.

When the drums fell, hundreds of catapults lined up along the bank rang loudly, and hundreds of fireballs were ejected from the stone nests, shooting at the small boats of the pirates.

Behind the catapult are shield soldiers.Behind the shield soldiers, the spearmen and archers are arranged in a cross formation, ready to fight.

Liu Hongyi stood galloping in the army, with a broadsword in his right hand and a binoculars in his left hand, overlooking the array of pirate boats.

"it is good!"

Suddenly, he shouted loudly.

On the surface of the sea, many pirate boats were hit by fire bombs and immediately shattered, countless pirates fell into the water.

In the tonight's big waves, even though these pirates were excellent in water, many of them were swallowed by the big waves, and some were knocked unconscious by their own ships, and slowly sank along with the debris of the ships.

However, these pirates were also fierce soldiers, and they rushed towards the shore despite the fire bombs.

Behind them, there are hundreds of big pirate ships, the sails on the masts of the big ships are extremely full by the wind, and they are moving at an extremely fast speed.

Behind the Southern Song army formation, Zhao Dongting, Le Wu and others were protected by the [-] flying dragon regiments.

Brothers Zhao Da and Zhao Hu were itchy and eager to try, they asked, "Your Majesty, when shall we rush up?"

Such a scene is always easy to arouse the passion of a passionate man.

Only to die for the country on the battlefield, why return the shrouded body of horse leather!
Zhao Dongting waved his hand, but said: "Wait a minute, these are small characters, not worth using the Shenlong Cannon."

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu had no choice but to continue to endure, but their hands were already trembling slightly with excitement.Neither of them had been in a serious battle yet.

Finally, not long after, the pirates landed on the coast of Qiongzhou with a small boat braving fire.

Most of them have no armor, and they are dressed in miscellaneous clothes, most of them are civilian clothes, holding various weapons, and rushing towards the Southern Song army formation shouting.

In fact, many of these pirates were ordinary people who originally lived on the island.When they are in business, they lick blood with the knife head, and when they are not in business, they also go to the fields to work, just like ordinary people.

Zhao Dongting saw the big pirate ship getting closer with binoculars, and finally waved, "Let's go!"

The [-] Flying Dragon Army, carrying grenadiers and shells, surrounded Zhao Dongting and ran towards the beach.
