A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 38 The Navy
When the Huai army entered the city, they immediately began to blockade the city, and at the same time sent some troops to Miyagi.The other side is to let the people who have taken refuge in Huai country persuade them to surrender.

"Send people to patrol, kill those who resist stubbornly, kill those who rape and loot, kill those who rob property, and kill those who rape women! Let the people in the city go home and hide." Wei Ping issued an order.

"Here!" A group of soldiers rushed to deliver the order immediately.

"Send people to control the four city gates and all the traffic arteries, and send people to transport the grain. After the city is under control, open the warehouse to release the grain."

After several orders were issued, Wei Ping led the army into the city, and Huai Guo's secret agents who had been ambushing in the city for a long time also came to report the news.

The riots in this city were not only partly caused by the deep grievances of Han nobles, but also caused by the Huai country's secret agents.

With these detailed operations who are familiar with the Han Kingdom and the help of the common people, the Han Kingdom was quickly brought under control, but the King of the Han Kingdom took some people and ran away ahead of time.

Next, Wei Ping ordered people to open the treasury of Han State and distribute the food inside to the people in the city.All kinds of goods looted by the king of Han and many nobles fell into the hands of Huai. These people tried their best to squeeze the people's income. Before they could enjoy it, they made wedding dresses for Huai. Just distributed some food, and immediately won the support of the Han people.

The nobles of Han Kingdom suffered heavy casualties in the previous riots. Wei Ping asked people to return the looted land and houses to the people.As for the properties of these nobles, all were sealed into the treasury.

Greed made these Han nobles oppress the people, but in the end they even lost their lives.

Under Wei Ping's administration, Han Kingdom calmed down in just three days, and all order was restored.

On the other side, Hanhou escaped from the secret road, only taking his wife, son, and dozens of guards with him in time.After leaving the secret road, everyone dared not stop, and ran all the way to the bank of the Yangtze River, wanting to cross the river to the state of Wu, and asked the Marquis of Wu to send troops to help him restore the country.

A group of people came to the bank of the Yangtze River, which was still in the hands of Han State at this time, and the Marquis of Han immediately ordered the water army to cross the river.

Three thousand sailors escorted Hanhou to the south bank of the Yangtze River, leaving only an empty water village. At this time, Hanhou was relieved.

The navy fleet is very fast, and dozens of boats are sailing on the river in a patchwork pattern.The river flowed straight into the sea. At this moment, some black spots suddenly appeared on the distant river surface. These black spots expanded rapidly, and soon everyone saw that they were ships.

"No, it's the navy of the Huai country!"

"Quickly send the order down, prepare to fight!"

Seeing the Huai Army fleet, the Han State Navy sent an order to go down immediately.

"General, this time the Han Kingdom's navy is coming out in full force!" A soldier next to him said after quickly counting the ships of the Han Kingdom.

Xu Lie nodded: "The whole navy is dispatched, it seems that the Han Kingdom is going to put all their eggs in one basket, and the nobles of the Han Kingdom should be on board the boat!"

"Order the whole army, move the whole army, don't let a single ship go!"

"Here!"

The Huai State Navy immediately divided into two teams, one from the left and the other from the right, and attacked from both sides. At the same time, dozens of small boats were also put down.These walking boats have a narrow and long hull, a ram on the bow, and many fire starters on board.The speed is extremely fast, once it hits the big ship, the ram will pierce into the hull, making it extremely difficult to get rid of, coupled with the igniter inside, it will quickly ignite the big ship.

The Huai State fleet attacked left and right, and there were a large number of vehicles in the middle. The Han State Navy was no match at all.Only a part of Han's navy wore armor, and most of them were leather armor, while Huai's navy all wore rattan armor woven from old vines in the mountains.

This rattan armor sword is hard to hurt, and it is very light. After falling into the water, it can even rely on the rattan armor to surface. It is a sharp weapon in water warfare.

The water army of the Three Thousand Kingdoms of Han was besieged from left and right, the river was undulating, and the boats were shaking up and down, but the water army of the Huai State was still able to hold their bodies firmly, and at the same time, they could shoot arrows with their bows.

The Huai State Navy is all elite, and they have been training for five years. Even on a boat with ups and downs, they are still superb in archery.Almost as soon as the two armies came into contact, the soldiers of Han State were shot down, while the soldiers of Huai State were almost unscathed.

The arrows of the Han Kingdom were shot at the Huai Kingdom's navy, but they were bounced off by the rattan armor one after another.The ships slammed into each other, and the Huai State navy, which had been prepared for a long time, jumped directly onto the Han State ship.

The soldiers of the Huai State displayed extremely superb martial arts one by one, tossing and turning like walking on the ground, and the sharp sword in their hands was like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, reaping the lives of the soldiers of the Han State without mercy.

Coupled with the rattan armor on the soldiers of the Huai State, even if they were besieged by a few people, they would not lose the wind, but instead beheaded the enemies one by one.

Han's navy is not a professional army, only some of them are full-time soldiers, while Huai's [-] sailors are completely full-time professional soldiers, plus there is a gap in equipment.However, after only a short time of contact, the Han National Navy was killed and injured, and their morale had completely collapsed.

Many Han soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered, and some ran around like headless chickens before being beheaded by Huai soldiers who marched in formation.

Blood dripped continuously from the bronze sword, the vine armor was also stained red by blood, and the blood flowed across the plank of the ship, almost staining the entire plank red.

Although the numbers of the two sides were basically the same, the speed at which the Han State Navy was defeated was astonishing.In addition to these soldiers who jumped to the gang, the archers of the Huai State were also shooting arrows continuously, and the soldiers of the Han State without armor were shot down in large numbers.

The ships on the two wings were constantly occupied by the Huai State Navy, while the ships escorted in the middle did not dare to stop at all and wanted to rush out of the encirclement.

But Xu Lie had already made sufficient preparations, and those walkers ran over one after another.The sharp ram slammed into the side of the ship, and then the flames rose, quickly igniting the big ship.

Originally, the Han National Navy wanted to take advantage of the size and strength of the ship, and wanted to drive away those Zokes, but they were ignited by Zokes one after another.The fire was rising, the arrows were raining like rain, all Huai soldiers were covered in blood, the blood was dripping on the sharp sword, the sword marks were all over the vine armor, and the murderous face, all these became the nightmare of the surviving Han soldiers.

The soldiers of the Han Kingdom were completely gutted, and their resistance became weaker and weaker. Ships quickly fell, and some ships were even set on fire. A large number of soldiers of the Han Kingdom jumped into the water to escape.It's a pity that we are in the middle of the river at this time, even if the water quality is good, it is close to death.

The Huai State Navy was encircled from left to right, and the Han State Navy was completely defeated. All ships were either captured, burned or sunk into the river.

The [-] sailors suffered heavy casualties. The surrounding river was stained red with blood, and a large number of corpses were floating on the water. Presumably, the fish here must be very fat this year.

The speed of Han Kingdom's destruction is astonishing, as if Han Kingdom was wiped out overnight, which is extremely rare in China's thousands of years of history.The consequences of human greed are extremely serious. History has taught us an unforgettable lesson, but the only lesson humans learn from history is that humans never learn lessons. ——"Cambridge History of China·History of the Western Zhou Dynasty"
