Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty
Chapter 463: Battle of Jingkou (6)
As long as the fire is big enough to form a fire, it is very terrible, and wildfire can burn all the trees that are not dry. Above the big river, the river water seems to have turned into a big pot of fire oil, and the whole sky is burning, and it will burn all the momentum!
The huge flame expanded in the wind to the water surface to the west, and the original huge fleet seemed vulnerable under the fire. The ship that had not had time to run was quickly engulfed by the fire, igniting a raging fire. The air was filled with smoke and black dust was flying everywhere.
However, the sails on the giant rafts were swallowed soon after the fire started. Without the aid of the sails, the rafts drifted westward at a very slow speed. If you don't look closely, they seem to have stagnated on the surface of the river. Rao was so scared that the soldiers of the Southern Tang Army were too scared.
"Ah, ah..." Chen Qiao was yelling and panicked himself.
Although the fire has not spread to this ship, but the flames raging here by the wind direction, it is so close, the temperature above the ship is very high, and the air is simply hot! The flags above were all lit by flames, burning the flagpoles bare.
Coupled with the overwhelming fire, the ship was in chaos. The people panicked and screamed and ran downstairs with their heads covered.
Merchants are not fish. They only rely on boats on the water. Many people wear armour and do not dare to jump into the river in a hurry. But when people encounter danger, their response is to run away. The soldiers rushed around in a chaotic manner and had to leave the ship building and deck. , Instinctively hid in the cabin, separated by wooden boards, at least temporarily to escape the hot heat. The heat wave of air attacking people is like roasting people alive!
The most reliable way to escape is to drive the warship away from here. The giant raft moves slowly and the warship travels faster. But one by one, just running around.
"Lord, go here!" The soldier pulled Zhu Lingyun's arm and shouted.
Chen Qiao also hurriedly followed the crowd, leaving the unobstructed roof first. The panicked soldiers behind pushed and ran around, crowding everyone to the top of the stairs. Chen Qiao almost didn't get pushed off the boat in the mouth, and immediately shouted: "Be calm, don't squeeze..."
A soldier of Zhu Lingyun in front drew a knife. Amidst the chaotic army, the bright knife was in front of Chen Qiao, and his face changed suddenly. The soldier with the weapon shouted: "Don't|he|mother..."
The voice hadn't fallen yet, and suddenly I heard a loud "pop" and then a loud cry. Chen Qiao hurriedly turned his head and saw that the guardrail on the stairs was broken, and a figure jumped off the boat. After a while, he fell into the tumbling river with a "plop".
Someone screamed: "General Zhu has fallen into the water!"
Chen Qiao made a "thump" in his heart, ignoring the soreness of the grilled face, and looking down hurriedly, there was nothing but river water. That Zhu Lingyun seemed to be wearing two layers of heavy armor, and he was burdened by dozens of kilograms of iron, so falling into the water is not much different from tying a big rock and throwing it into the river!
"Quick! Throw the rope down!" Chen Qiao shouted.
But at the moment the rebellion is crowded and chaotic. Where can I find the rope for a while? Someone screamed frantically, "Didn't you help the lord? How to help! Jump down and save people!"
"Squeeze you|mother|!" A soldier took a knife and slashed at a soldier behind with a fierce sword, suddenly screamed, and blood splashed in the crowd. But the killing did not stop the chaos. Under the fire and panic, it seemed like an explosion here. Some people were squeezed out of the boat, and others climbed up from the railings, screaming, jumped onto the plate armor below, and fell half dead.
Someone yelled: "The coach fell into the river and drowned!"
The warship had been sailing westward, and after a while, the position of the broken railing was no longer where Zhu Lingyun fell into the water; looking for someone in this position would undoubtedly carve a boat and beg a sword. Chen Qiao looked back and saw no one at all. The tide was layered layer by layer... how to save people?
But the head coach on the battlefield is gone, this matter is very serious. Chen Qiao yelled anxiously: "Order the helmsman and turn around!"
Change direction? Going into the fire... Besides, at this time, even the helmsman doesn't know where. No one listened to the civil servant Chen Qiao, the warship was still driving westward, but Zhu Lingyun had disappeared.
Above the river, the warships of the Southern Tang Army fled westward one after another, and no one had a way to control hundreds of ships. Even Lu Bing by the river was in chaos, and countless people stood by the river, watching the fire on the river.
After a long time, the ship docked and Chen Qiao landed. The drowning of Zhu Lingyun has become a fact that has to be accepted...Although Chen Qiao looked at Zhu Lingyun not pleasing to the eye, he had the prestige in the Zhennan Army and the commander of the army, able to command the whole army; now he is dead. , Who will command the army? Chen Qiao didn't think that he could control this army if he was a civil official temporarily.
Moreover, the news of Zhu Lingyun spread quickly. The coach's affairs were of concern to the entire army, and the news of the dead chief spread rapidly. People in the army were panicked, especially the navy was in chaos, and for a while, even the generals of each department were not available.
Chen Qiao called on the generals present, called other generals, and re-elected a temporary coach.
But Zhou Jun did not give them a chance, and Zhou Jun reacted very quickly to the battle. Before noon, Chizhou mobilized troops. The cavalry took the lead, and the infantry went straight to attack the troops stranded on the road in the Southern Tang Army. The Southern Tang Army did not have time to unify the military order, and all ministries knew they were fighting. Although there were few forwards in the Zhou army, they were not besieged by the superior forces organized by the Southern Tang Army. Besides, the people in the Southern Tang Army were panicked at this time, and they were quickly defeated...
The people behind were affected, and in some places they escaped systematically. Known as the 150,000 army, it looks majestic, but it is completely weaker than Chen Qiao imagined. The army is like a big house falling apart.
On the road to the west, retreating soldiers were everywhere. On the surface of the river, the boats were also slumped, each retreating.
...
In the middle of the night, Guo Shao received Luo Yanhuan's express report in the water village by the river. He took a closer look, and his face quickly showed red light... It was late at night, and there was no other person around to celebrate with him, but he still couldn't suppress the excitement in Guo Shao's heart. For the time being, he could only be secretly happy. !
Luo Yanhuan described the battle situation in detail and said that Wankou and Chizhou were weak in strength and could not expand the results; but after the chaos of the Southern Tang Army, it was no easy task to redeploy and had achieved the goal of "delaying the enemy's reinforcements."
However, in Guo Shao's view, Luo Yanhuan has unexpectedly established a marvelous work. The Southern Tang Army suffered such a big setback, and the rectification of the chaotic army is not to say, how can the morale of the army be restored? So far, the threat of that army has been very small.
Guo Shao said: When the Tokyo Mutiny, Luo Yanhuan felt that Luo Yanhuan was courageous and conspiring. From this point of view, this person has great talent. Luo Yanhuan does not have many elite soldiers, mainly a group of soldiers from all over the country, and there are few warships; under limited conditions, he can plan a way to attack the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is very good... and when the fire is successful, After disrupting his military's mind, Luo Yanhuan boldly sent troops to attack with weak forces, and the fighters were captured very well.
"Luo Yanhuan, Luo Yanhuan..." Guo Shao said twice and walked back and forth in the cabin.
He put down the military newspaper, walked to the window again, opened a corner and looked out. The water surface is brightly lit, the windows are slightly opened, and the sound of the waves becomes more noisy... It turns out that there is no quietness like "the bell to the passenger ship at midnight" by the Yangtze River.
The atmosphere is impetuous and noisy. But there is no danger here: Yesterday, the Han Tong navy had entered the Yangtze River. The navy was under the jurisdiction of the guard Mabusi. It was a forbidden army, with many people and ships, and elite soldiers. The troops dispatched from Tokyo were enough to put pressure on the Southern Tang Army. ; And Guo Shao still has a large number of navy ships on the side, forming a front and back attack on the Jingkou Southern Tang Army.
The enemy soldiers in Jingkou are now soft-shelled turtles in the urn. They have no way to go except to go ashore, but the boat can't get to the shore, and the reinforcements in Hukou can't come. It's only a matter of time before they are eliminated. Guo Shao is sure that he has secured the victory!
Guo Shao sat down at the table with a picture of the situation under the lamp, and there was shallow ink in the inkstone next to it. After sitting for a while, he poured a lot of the water in the iron cup into the inkstone, and dilute the ink very lightly. Then he lifted the brush, dipped it in a light ink, and painted all the areas of influence of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the borders of the Southern Tang Dynasty on the map.
On the whole picture ~www.readwn.com~ the large part of the middle piece has changed color. Guo Shao stretched out his finger and stroked the large area of Nantang State. Although it was just a piece of paper, he truly felt the tremendous increase in strength.
Countless wealth, countless population, vast territory...
Guo Shao suddenly felt a little bit. At the end of the year, it was very difficult for a little profit. But now, the huge benefits can't be blocked, and they come too fast.
He still felt out of control, as if a torrent appeared before his eyes, but fortunately, the torrent was following his direction. And he still has the method to adjust its direction. Guo Shao let out a long sigh, closing his eyes and feeling the river flowing under the boat.

(When I wrote the second chapter last night, I lay down and rested. I accidentally fell asleep. As soon as my eyes opened, the sun has risen... I'm really sorry.)
