The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 182: Intercepting and killing the Southern Song envoy fleet returning from negotiations with the Jurchen Jin Kingdom at sea
The fierce fighting continues in Yangzhou City, and the people in the city are nervous and uneasy.

At this time, there were no less than 30 people in Yangzhou City, most of whom were people from surrounding villages and towns who had migrated in before the Jin army's massive attack.

For them, Yangzhou City is the last step to save their lives. At this moment, they all pray that Yangzhou can be defended.

The shouts of killing shook the city walls of Yangzhou.

The smell of blood and stench filled the city walls.

Many Jurchen gold soldiers climbed up the city wall.

The Han army fought back vigorously, using arrows, rolling wood, gold juice and everything else.

They waited until most of the Jurchen soldiers were killed under the city, and the remaining ones were so injured that they could hardly lift their feet.

On the city wall, Liu Yu saw this situation and said loudly:

"Commanders and soldiers, listen to the order. Now, it is time for us to take revenge and kill the enemy invaders. Fight out of the city. We cannot just sit back and wait for death. We should let the Jin army see how powerful our Han army is. Fight out and kill the Jin army!!"

When the Han soldiers on and off the city heard this, their faces turned red, their morale instantly soared, and they shouted in unison:
"Willing to die for the prince!"

Ka Ka Ka ~
The city gate slowly opened, and a large number of cavalry in iron armor, panicked by the Jin soldiers who were attacking the city, rushed straight to the Jin soldiers below the city like a torrent.

Immediately, the exhausted Jin soldiers were crushed and scattered by the Han cavalry.

The entire Jin army's siege line was torn apart by the Han army's cavalry.

"Damn it, send the cavalry to kill!"

Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai of the Jin Kingdom, who was sitting in the rear army, saw that the Han army guarding the city came out unexpectedly. He caught the Jin army by surprise. He was so frightened and furious that he immediately ordered.

The Jin cavalry in the distance was shocked, and then became angry. They immediately rode up to meet the Han cavalry who charged out.

The moment the two groups of men and horses met, the weapons and armors of both sides collided violently. The Jin soldiers waved their weapons and fought with the Han army's cavalry.

Guan Yu holds the Qinglong Sword and rushes into the Jurchen Jin army. He is invincible. He can kill one with one sword. He swings it left and right, and no one can stop him.

A Jin sergeant watched helplessly as Guan Yu passed by his eyes, his long sword like the wind. Before he could react, a fountain of blood spurted out from his neck, and he immediately fell to the sky.

Zhang Ren was also extremely brave. He swung his iron spear flawlessly. The iron spear flew up and down like a dragon, glaring in all directions. All enemies who came within three feet of him were killed with one strike.

The Mongolian cavalry are extremely brave in fighting.

One-on-one, you won't lose at all.

This scene is extremely spectacular.

Guan Yu, Zhang Ren and other Han soldiers became more and more eager to fight, charging left and right among the Jurchen army. However, the Jin cavalry retreated steadily during the charge of the Han cavalry. It took less than a stick of incense to be dispatched. The charge of the eight thousand Jin Army cavalry was completely over and they were defeated directly.

Those who could escape ran wildly on their horses.

Jurchen corpses lay everywhere under the city, and only a few hundred Jin Army cavalry were left entangled.

At this time, the soldiers of the Han army chased the remaining Jin troops. They held steel knives in their hands and kept slashing and killing them. Seeing that they could not escape, some Jin troops even lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, trying to get through.

Guan Yu shouted loudly: "Don't let anyone escape, wipe them all out!"

Zhang Ren also gritted his teeth: "We must kill all these Jurchen bastards!"

The Jurchen Jin Army's second siege collapsed once again under the fierce counterattack of the Han Army.

Tens of thousands of Jurchen Jin soldiers either died in battle or fled and ran back to the Jurchen army.

The Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai's face was ashen. Looking at the Jurchen troops who had fled back, he ordered in a deep voice:

"Send an order to behead all the centurions and thousands of the soldiers and horses who escaped back in front of the army to improve military discipline!"

Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongpan and others on the side heard this and sighed slightly, knowing that these officers who had escaped back must be in bad luck, but the military orders were overwhelming and no one could intercede for them.

After Wanyan Wu Qi bought the order, he was still very frightened and angry, saying:
"This Liu Yu is so cunning and powerful, and the Han army is so powerful. No, the Han army's defense is so advantageous. If our army does not boost morale and clean up military discipline, how can we break Yangzhou City? I have made up my mind. , send an order to immediately kill those centurions and thousands who are deserters!"

When Wanyan Zongpan saw this, he could only quickly accept the order and agree.

Soon, a cry was heard from the front army, and a group of officers collapsed to the ground in fear.

Subsequently, these Jurchen deserters were escorted to the front of the battle.

In front of tens of thousands of Jurchen Jin troops, they were all beheaded in public.

"See, this is the fate of deserters!"

"I reiterate once again, anyone who dares to escape on his own will be killed without mercy!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai, Emperor of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, pointed at the heads rolling on the ground and shouted sharply at the Jurchen soldiers.

Liu Yu stood at the top of the city and looked down quietly. He also admired the methods of the Jurchen Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai.

Undoubtedly, by doing this, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom was able to regain the morale of the defeated army.
At this time, the Jurchen soldiers under the city who had already lost their confidence felt tight in their hearts.

"Retract your troops, return to camp, and guard against Han troops attacking the camp!"

After suffering a heavy setback on the first day of the siege, Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai of the Jin Kingdom also felt that the Han army was difficult to deal with and immediately gathered the army.

The two sides stopped fighting, but a heavy atmosphere permeated the Jin Army camp.

The Han army seemed to be different from the weak Song army they imagined.

The next day.

Along with the shaking sound, the black and golden army swept in again.

A tall man in red robes, holding a mace, riding a tall and majestic yellow gelding, stood at the forefront. He raised the mace in his hand high and said sternly:
"Daijin's warriors, Jurchen brothers, charge into Yangzhou City, charge."

A majestic Jurchen roared: "Abahai, we are not afraid of death, we are not afraid of death!"

The big man in red robe laughed loudly and said loudly: "Surge into Yangzhou City, grab food and women!"

A young Jurchen soldier of sixteen or seventeen years old also shouted in the crowd: "Fight with the Han army!"

Immediately, tens of thousands of Jurchen Jin troops armed with various siege weapons rushed towards Yangzhou City again.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

The screams of the Jin army resounded through the sky. Their figures crossed the range of the Han army's bows and crossbows and sprinted towards the city. The Han soldiers also drew their bows and arrows and shot at the city. Suddenly, the arrows were like locusts. The ground fell, and the dense array of arrows stalled the momentum of the Jin Army. Many people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, but more Jin Army rushed to a position only one foot away from the city wall and began to climb crazily. city ​​wall.

Zhang Ren roared angrily: "Brothers, hold on for me, we must not let them climb up!"

Guan Yu's eyes widened and he jumped up suddenly. With both arms strong, a steel spear pierced his chest.The sword in Guan Yu's hand suddenly slashed out, and with a loud noise, the spear was sent flying into the air. In his other hand, the same spear flashed across like lightning, and a Jin soldier His throat was immediately bleeding profusely, and his body fell from half of the battlements.

A soldier of the Jin Army took the opportunity to rush up. Guan Yu twisted his tiger body to avoid the opponent's steel spear. He slashed at the shoulder of the golden soldier with his sword. Suddenly, his skin and flesh burst open and blood spurted out. The golden soldier was miserable. With a whistle, he fell to the ground and died.

Zhang Ren fired his gun crazily and cursed: "Damn it, there are so many stupid gold thieves, not to mention, the gold thieves are really brave!" Hearing Zhang Ren's shout, a group of Han soldiers also had to admit.

Indeed, the Jin Army has become a nightmare for all countries in this era because it is quite good at fighting and dares to fight to the death.

Fight with all your might, without risking your life.

On the city wall, Yue Fei also fired out a long spear one after another, killing each of the Jin soldiers who climbed up, and said loudly to Zhang Ren:
"Has General Zhang Ren noticed the generals of the Jin Army showing off their power below? That guy is the deputy general under the Jurchens. His name is Abahai. He is a famous general among the eight Jurchen surnames. It is said that he once fought against Xixia in Hebei and made many extraordinary achievements."

Upon hearing Yue Fei's introduction, Zhang Ren immediately snorted and said:
"It's a general with a name, so it's easy to handle. We must kill this gold thief today, otherwise the Jurchens will think that the Han army is weaker than the Jin army."

Immediately, Zhang Ren opened his bow and arrow, aiming at the Jurchen general Abahai who was commanding the attack under the city.

Zhang Ren took aim slightly, then released the bowstring. A sharp arrow flew from a distance and hit Abahai's forehead. Blood spattered everywhere. Abahai screamed and fell off his horse. Aguer, the captain of the personal guard, hugged him, but Abahai stared, motionless, obviously exhausted.

Agul was immediately frightened and furious, and shouted loudly: "Han thief, shoot arrows for me!"

The Jurchen archers on both sides immediately fired a volley, and several Han soldiers on the city wall were hit by arrows, screaming in agony.

Zhang Ren sneered, turned around and continued to direct the city defense.

On the city wall, Yue Fei looked at Agul in the distance. He was tall, with a curly beard and bulging muscles. Although he was a golden soldier, he still looked mighty.

Obviously, this Yangzhou offensive and defensive battle is destined to be a fierce battle. The victory or defeat is important to the Jin Kingdom and equally important to the Han army.

But to be expected.

The offensive of the Jurchen Golden Army will never be stopped by two or three failures!
……

At this time, on the vast sea, a fleet of more than ten sailboats was leaving the port of Jiaozhou, Shandong and sailing slowly towards the south.

On one of the large boats, there was a middle-aged woman about 40 years old, wearing a gorgeous palace dress, followed by three little girls of four or five years old.

Huang Qianshan, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, stood next to her, with a look of fawning on his face.

"Queen Mother, there are no storms on the sea now. We will arrive in Mingzhou in three days and meet His Majesty the Emperor!" Huang Qianshan said.

This middle-aged woman was none other than Wei Shi, the biological mother of Emperor Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty. She had been abducted by the Jurchen Jin Kingdom and used as a female slave for several years. She was obviously tortured.

"Well, I know." Webster looked worried. He looked around and saw that the servants were far away, then lowered his voice and asked Huang Qianshan: "When I got on the boat, I seemed to see a figure. It was quite strange. familiar."

"Queen Mother, who are you talking about?" Huang Qianshan asked quickly.

Wei Shi said with a cold face, "Emperor Roufu, Zhao Huanhuan!"

Huang Qianshan immediately laughed and said: "It turns out to be Emperor Roufu. The Kingdom of Jin knew that she was His Majesty's sister, but she kept her and was not rude. This time, in order to cooperate with the Song Dynasty, the Kingdom of Jin asked, I He quickly said that Your Majesty misses Emperor Roufu, and Jin Guo took the initiative to send her back to Your Majesty."

"You are so nosy!" When Webster heard this, his expression immediately changed, he shouted angrily, and then returned to the cabin angrily.

"what?"

Huang Qianshan was scolded for no reason, and he suddenly looked confused!

He clearly remembered that Zhao Gou once said that Zhao Gou had a very good relationship with his sister, Emperor Roufu, Zhao Huanhuan, and his mother, Concubine Wei, also liked Zhao Huanhuan very much!
"What's going on here?"

Huang Qianshan was confused and didn't know how to deal with it.

Just when Huang Qianshan sent people to quietly go to another ship to try to find out the reasons for Roufu Diji, their fleet suddenly encountered an unexpected situation.

Dozens of warships flying the Han flag blocked Huang Qianshan's fleet.

"The navy that rebelled against Liu Yu?!" Huang Qianshan was shocked when he saw it.

The Han warships that blocked Huang Qianshan were led by Li Bao, commander of the navy.

Liu Yu considered Li Bao's water warfare ability, so he handed over all the navy warships to Li Bao, and sent Li Bao to patrol the Yangtze River and even offshore to guard against the Jin Army and even the Song Army's waterway armies.

Of course, Liu Yu also gave Li Bao another order.

That is, intercepting and killing the Southern Song Dynasty envoy fleet returning from negotiations with the Jurchen Jin Kingdom at sea.

"Surrender quickly, or you will be killed without mercy!"

Li Bao stood in front of the Han warship and shouted to Huang Qianshan's Song fleet.

but.

Of course, the Song fleet led by Huang Qianshan refused to submit obediently.

"We cannot surrender, prepare to break out immediately!"

"Send the order, the ships on the left and right rush forward to cover my officer and escort the Queen Mother to break out of the encirclement!"

Huang Qianshan gave an order, and the two Southern Song warships immediately rushed towards Li Bao's Han warship.

"Archery!"

"Use the bed crossbow!"

On the Han navy warships, countless stones and arrows were thrown at the charging enemy ships. For a time, the Southern Song fleet suffered heavy losses.

Huang Qianshan gritted his teeth, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted: "Come on! Protect the Queen Mother!"

Among the Han fleet, more than ten warships turned their bows and headed towards Li Bao's fleet.

Li Bao's face flashed coldly, and he said coldly: "Come on, let's play with you!"

A row of giant crossbows weighing more than 200 kilograms made a sharp and piercing whistle, and arrows flew towards Song's ship like rain. Huang Qianshan's soldiers and others quickly raised their shields to block the arrows, but it was still difficult to resist, one after another. Thick crossbow arrows penetrated their shields and even nailed their bodies. Blood sprayed out and dyed the deck red. Some Song soldiers died on the spot, and the entire fleet fell into chaos.

But at this moment, bursts of roaring sounds came from a large warship in Li Bao's fleet. The huge ram on the top hit a small boat hard, and the boat was instantly shattered. , sawdust flew everywhere, and the soldiers on the ship fell to the bottom of the sea one after another.

"boom"

"boom"

Loud noises continued, and huge stones roared in one after another. Each stone was the size of a millstone. Under the sunlight, they bombarded the side of the ship, taking away more than a dozen lives in an instant.

Huang Qianshan was so frightened that he shouted: "Quick, retreat, hurry up and get closer to Jiaozhou Island, let Daikin rescue us!"

Before Huang Qianshan could finish his words, another huge boulder flew from the Huihui Cannon and hit the warship he was on. The wood on the ship burst apart, and pieces of huge wood flew into the sky. The sailors on the ship howled miserably. After falling into the water, Huang Qianshan ran back desperately, but he was old after all, and his steps staggered. After running a few steps, he fell into the sea with a plop. Fortunately, a young sailor behind him swam to Huang Qianshan's side and held him up. His legs, Huang Qianshan did not sink into the sea.

Li Bao stood on the bow of the ship, and when he and his Han army officers saw Huang Qianshan falling into the water, they burst out laughing and the warship came closer.

The Han navy warships surrounded Huang Qianshan who fell into the water.

A military lord laughed, threw the sword at his waist to Huang Qianshan, and said with a smile:

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Huang? I heard that Mr. Huang formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom on behalf of the Song Dynasty and was treated as an honored guest by the Jin Kingdom. Why is he in the water, haha!"

The surrounding Han troops laughed loudly and ridiculed Huang Qianshan.
