Chapter 607 The Final Battle (Seventeen)

Peach Blossom Bay
The Yan Kingdom fleet finally arrived and was throwing flints at the Imperial Armada, especially the main ship of the Armada, which was the ship where Yang Xuangan was.

Boom boom boom!
boom!
Dozens of flints were thrown towards the area where Yang Xuangan was located. Although they failed to hit Yang Xuangan's main ship, they sank several imperial warships nearby.

"what!--"

"Uh!"

More and more imperial soldiers fell into the sea, causing more and more casualties.

At this time, the Armada Fleet of the Empire is in a dilemma. If it continues to attack ashore, the Armada Fleet will be wiped out by the Kingdom of Yan. Forced to fight a protracted war and a war of attrition with Yan on land.

To fight a war of attrition with Yan State without logistical materials and support, this...

Of course, there is a second option, which is to withdraw all the soldiers on land to the ship. With the size of the Imperial Armada, as long as all the soldiers are withdrawn to the ship, they can turn around and surround the Yan Kingdom fleet. Run the Yan Kingdom Fleet, so that the Imperial Fleet can escape from Taohua Port and return to the Central Plains safely.

But this second choice is tantamount to admitting that he was defeated and fled back to the mainland in shame.

Yang Xuangan was still hesitating, he was undecided, just like, at the most critical moment of playing chess, he was sentenced to failure because of timeout.

When he was still hesitating and didn't know how to make a choice, Yan Xu didn't give him time to think slowly, but took the opportunity to increase the strength of his attack.

The [-] crossbowmen of the Yan Kingdom also threw down their crossbows one after another, armed with long spears, and charged at the chaotic imperial naval forces ashore.

These imperial sailors who came ashore were shocked by the Iron Buddha of the State of Yan just now, and their formation was very chaotic. Before they had time to readjust their formation, they saw that their Armada was being attacked by the fleet of the State of Yan on the sea. , which made them panic.

If all the ships were sunk or burned by Yan, how could they return to the Central Plains?Do you really want to put all your eggs in one basket, stay in the old capital of Yan State, and fight to the death with Yan State?
boom!
Hoo hoo! ——

The Asuka battleship of the Yan State rushed into the gap between the fleets of the Imperial Armada, still using a familiar tactic, setting fire to the ship.

coax!

The raging fire burned, and what was burned was not only the Imperial Armada, but also the morale of the Imperial Navy.

When their army's morale was slackened, the [-] heavy armored spearmen of Yan State had already killed them.

There is an array to kill but no array, and there is no intention to kill without intention. Naturally, it is a one-sided harvest.

What's more, the Iron Buddha of Yan State also started a second round of charging over the wall, crushing and dispersing the imperial troops who were trying to rearrange their formation.

The sea is burning, the ground is full of swords and blood, there are wailing sounds everywhere, the air is trembling, and the evening glow has begun to appear in the sky, a blood-red light, making people unable to tell whether it is red glow or blood.

"The empire can be defeated, but I, Yang Xuangan, cannot die!"

In the end, Yang Xuangan made up his mind to take the remnants of the defeated army... to escape!
As for the imperial land soldiers on the shore, and the imperial cavalry who are chasing down servants and plundering wealth in the old capital?do not care!
"withdraw!"

"Get out!"

Yang Xuangan commanded the Armada to escape from the sea of ​​flames and sail towards the distant sea.

The imperial flag was waved, and the imperial ships that received the flag signal fled in all directions.

The battleship of the Yan State pursued closely, aiming at Yang Xuangan's main ship and throwing flints at Yang Xuangan's main ship while chasing.

boom!
An imperial battleship next to Yang Xuangan was unfortunately hit by a flint, and immediately sank into the sea, and countless imperial soldiers sank into the sea.

An imperial general who was lucky enough not to sink into the sea was holding a piece of driftwood and floating on the surface of the sea. He shouted at Yang Xuangan: "Help me!"

However, Yang Xuangan didn't dare to stop to save people, he was about to be overtaken by the battleship of Yan Kingdom, he ignored the general on the sea, and instead let the sailors on the ship speed up.

That general was none other than Hu'er, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, who had participated in the battle against Chen and wiped out the Chen Guo Navy during the battle against Chen.

Afterwards, the battleship of the Yan State pursued to this sea area, threw a rope, and pulled Lai Huer floating on the sea to the ship, and captured Lai Huer easily.

Since they were still going back to capture other imperial material ships, confiscated the imperial materials, and helped the soldiers of Yan State on land to destroy the imperial cavalry, the warships of Yan State did not continue to pursue, but brought their guards and returned to the Taohuagang, continue to fight.

At the same time, the imperial soldiers on land, they found desperately that their Armada had run away and disappeared into the depths of the sea, leaving only a bunch of ships that were being burned by the fire, and what was left to the Yan Kingdom. The supply ship that the battleship surrendered.

The crews of those supply ships were forced to lay down their weapons and knelt on the deck, not daring to act, for fear that the Yan Kingdom fleet would sink or burn their ships too.

"Surrenders don't kill!"

"Surrenders don't kill!"

"Surrenders don't kill!"

The soldiers of Yan State shouted loudly, they were extremely excited and their morale was high. This was a huge victory.

More and more imperial soldiers put down their weapons, knelt on the pier by the sea, raised their hands, waiting for the fate of becoming slaves to open up wasteland.

at the same time
In the old capital city of Yan State

The servants of Yan State were hacked to death by the imperial cavalry. After killing the servants of Yan State, they did not rush back to support the imperial infantry by the sea, but looted in the city.

Although Yan Xu moved the population out in advance, the wealth in the city was not so easy to move away, so they were left there.

The imperial armored cavalry rushed into the unmanned shops, searched the gold, silver and jewelry inside, rushed into the textile workshop, and took away all the silk fabrics that were being dyed and dried.

In order to store more belongings, they took off the armor that was in the way and lightened the load of the armor, so that they could have more loads to carry these wealth.

The armor of the war horses was also taken off, and replaced by large and small packages, which were filled with countless wealth.

Moreover, they scattered around and plundered everywhere, and they were no longer able to form a cavalry formation.

At this time, the heavy armored spearmen of Yan State were accepting the surrender of the imperial army, and the Tiefutu of Yan State returned to the old capital.

Boom boom boom!
The armored cavalry charging neatly, attacking the unarmored cavalry scattered and looting, not to mention an overwhelming massacre, at least it was a victory without any suspense.

The battle ended quickly, and after some stubborn resisters were killed, the remaining imperial cavalry (now without armor) surrendered to the Iron Buddha of Yan State.

After the death of 19 servants, the loss of seven warships, and the destruction of the old capital, the Yan Kingdom finally almost wiped out the [-] troops of the Imperial Armada.

There were only thirteen warships in the Imperial Armada, and they escaped successfully under the command of Yang Xuangan. The rest of the ships either sank to the bottom of the sea, or were burned, or surrendered to the Yan Kingdom fleet, or disappeared into the sea.

Of the empire's 19 troops, only more than 1000 people who ran with Yang Xuangan successfully escaped, and the rest were all wiped out by the Yan State. Among them, less than 17 were killed, and the remaining [-] surrendered.

Next, Yan Xu needs to take time to properly deal with these soldiers from the empire, temporarily detaining them in Xindu Prison, and then selling them to plantations as slaves for land reclamation.

However, the most important thing is that the main force of Yan State must rush back to Shanhaiguan immediately, in case Shanhaiguan is lost.

There are only 5 people in Shanhaiguan, thousands of people died, and 4 people were dispatched by Yan Xu to fight in the old capital. At the moment, only 3000 people are defending.

With 3000 people, it is extremely difficult to resist the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops. It is all up to Yang Guang to stop them.

There is no doubt that the Shanhaiguan was able to hold on for so long, the emperor Yang Guang's contribution is the greatest.

"If we capture Yang Guang, we must award him a [-]-jin medal in recognition of his illustrious military exploits against the Sui army!" After the Battle of the Old Capital, Yan Xu still made a joke to enliven everyone. atmosphere.

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed continuously. They were too nervous in the battle just now, and the sudden relief made them smile.

Anti-Sui War God Yang Guang!

This is an interesting nickname given to Yang Guang by Yan people.
