But Towa is different. Let’s not talk about whether Kato Takashi, a cruel and cold-blooded butcher, would frown at the death of tens of thousands of soldiers. Just the supplement of their soldiers is not comparable to Qingfeng. The whole country of Towa is originally full of pirates.
, they only have no less than 50,000 Japanese pirates wandering the sea. They only need to recruit domestic strongmen or pirates into the team, and that will be a qualified naval force.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuewan couldn't help but think about how to escape. Now there are less than forty ships on her side that can still sail. Although there are more than ten warships that have not sunk, their sails have been destroyed or their planks have been damaged.
Broken, it has lost its mobility and cannot escape at all. However, Zhang Yuewan still needs to negotiate with He Bugui on how to retreat.
He Bugui was also thinking about this issue. He originally thought that what he lacked in water battles was just experience, but after today's battle, he realized that he was indeed a little greener. Seeing his soldier fall like this
On the battlefield, He Bugui's face could no longer remain calm, and the veins in his right hand that was holding the three-edged steel fork were bursting.
"Young Marshal, you should lead the army to retreat first. If this continues, we will not even have a chance to retreat." Beside He Bugui, an old man in his fifties opened his mouth.
"Uncle Ke, can I leave in this situation?" He Bugui said with a wry smile. He still respected He Ke. After all, this old man was his father's cousin and he took great care of him.
He Ke said in a deep voice: "Young Marshal, in the battle of Chongming Island, you already have the qualities that your father and others should have. It's just that you are too young after all. Today's battle is not a bad thing. Only those who have experienced failure
Only a good general can have the potential to grow into a famous general. Young Marshal, please leave quickly."
He Bugui frowned: "Uncle Ke, what about you?"
"Young Marshal, I am already over fifty years old and I don't want to leave anymore. I have been on the water all my life, and the sea is also my lifelong destination. However, I can no longer take care of you in the future." He Ke said lightly: "Besides,
, those who stay behind must be directed by someone."
"Uncle Ke!"
"Young Marshal, stop hesitating, otherwise more brothers will die in the battle. Besides, the Huaishui Navy is here to help us, and we can't trap everyone else here." He Ke narrowed his eyes.
said.
After taking a look at the Huaishui Navy who was also struggling in the encirclement and suppression of the Dongwa Navy, He Bugui did not hesitate anymore and finally waved the command flag, while He Ke took over the command of the dead soldiers after Duan Hou, and passed
After the flag language informed Zhang Yuewan, the two naval forces returned
Nearly forty battleships that were considered intact gathered together, aimed in one direction and rushed over desperately. Kato Taka had already guarded against this move, and naturally he would not let Qing Feng Shuishi escape so easily. But He Ke was also ruthless enough.
In order to cover He Bugui's retreat, Ju
Then he ordered the five warships of the Jiaolong Legion that had lost their mobility to set themselves on fire, and then rammed them towards the Japanese warships. The Huaishui Navy also followed suit. Anyway, they would all die anyway, so it was better to fight for the sake of success.
At this time, the Qing Feng Shui Master was also full of
They fully demonstrated their bloody nature and their crazy fighting power. Even Kato Takashi turned a blind eye to them. And under their desperate cover, Zhang Yuewan and his two men paid the price of nearly ten battleships and finally escaped from Dongbo.
Escaped from the siege.
The two naval forces fled for a long time before they escaped the pursuit of the Dongwa Navy. When the sun set in the west and the Qingfeng Navy arrived in the sea near Zhoushan Island, they really stopped.
Zhang Yuewan and He Bugui suffered heavy losses in the Chongming Island ambush battle. Before the war, the Huaishui Navy had a total of 18,000 soldiers, and the Jiaolong Legion had 8,000 soldiers. In addition to some non-combatants, the number of participating troops in the battle was as high as 23,000.
There were as many as ninety battleships. However, after this battle, there were only thirty-one battleships left. When the two armies were combined and non-combatants were combined, the total strength was less than 8,000, and the entire army was almost annihilated.
He Bugui estimated that even if the five thousand Japanese soldiers who were ambushed on Chaoxia Island were included, the losses on the Japanese side would be less than ten thousand. Thinking of this, He Bugui suddenly felt a little discouraged.
But no matter what, He Bugui still wanted to thank Zhang Yuewan first. If it hadn't been for the Huaishui Navy's help today, I'm afraid he would have become a floating corpse by now. After flagging, He Bugui politely followed the instructions for meeting the princess.
Li Yi went to Zhang Yuewan's boat. When he arrived, Zhang Yuewan was already standing on the bow to greet his arrival. To be honest, He Bugui was indeed extremely grateful to Zhang Yuewan. When Kato Takashi's flag was raised
, He Bugui knew that he had fallen into a trap. Zhang Yuewan, who had been observing the battlefield from a distance, naturally understood, but even so, Zhang Yuewan still led the Huaishui navy to come to the rescue without hesitation, and ultimately suffered heavy losses. If
If not for the unexpected appearance of Navy Commander Zhang Yuewan, it is still unknown whether He Bugui could have escaped.
"This is He Shuai's tiger son, General He Bugui. He is indeed brave and extraordinary. No wonder my husband admires the general so much." Zhang Yuewan greeted He Bugui and said first.
He Bugui frowned slightly and came to see him. In theory, he should have spoken first. Moreover, Zhang Yuewan actually said "my husband" instead of "my father" as soon as he opened his mouth.
With some understanding, he also raised his hands and said: "Mrs. Hao praised me. Not returning is just a man's courage. How can he deserve such praise from Duke Jingbei? If it weren't for your help today, madam, I'm afraid all my ten thousand brothers would have been buried in the cemetery."
It’s under Chongming.”
"General, your words are serious. We are all citizens of the Celestial Dynasty, and it is our talent to fight against the Japanese pirates. The general is able to attack thousands of miles with ten thousand naval troops. He is so passionate and worthy of being a man of the He family." Zhang Yuewan saw He Bugui going on the road like this.
Then he smiled and said: "It's difficult to speak at the front of the ship, so please come to the general's cabin."
As time goes by, Zhang Yuewan now hopes more and more to integrate into the Loop as soon as possible. In fact, this belief has been reflected in her daily words and deeds, but the people around her have long been accustomed to her coquettish appearance.
Moreover, her influence in the Zhang family in Huaishui is also deep-rooted, so few people have noticed her change. However, in many places, Zhang Yuewan has regarded herself as a person in the Hetao and the mistress of the Third Road in the Hetao, so just now
That's why she can point it out like this. This is not only to remind herself, but also to hope that the outside world can understand the identity she currently represents.
After the guests and hosts sat down, Zhang Yuewan thought about He Bugui in detail and asked him about the details of how he captured Chongming Island and annihilated the five thousand Japanese navy that day. Zhang Yuewan herself was very curious about this battle.
. And she is the kind of person who is particularly curious and curious, so once she catches He Bugui, she is naturally unwilling to let go.
Faced with Zhang Yuewan's questioning, He Bugui certainly would not hide anything, and immediately recounted the battle situation that day in detail.
Chongming Island is different from ordinary small islands. Its area is almost the same as that of an ordinary county in the empire. He Bugui only has 10,000 naval troops in his hands. If Dongbo's 5,000 naval troops abandon their ships and land, retreat to
In the mountains and forests inside Chongming Island, He Bugui had absolutely no way to take them. But fortunately at this time, the Dongwa navy did not realize the danger was coming. Their vigilance was particularly low, and every night, except for
A small number of soldiers also routinely patrolled the warships in Chongming Port, while the rest of the soldiers were busy in the market towns near the port, so He Bugui decided to make a surprise move here.
First, five thousand soldiers carrying a large number of crossbows and fire starters were secretly sent to the island from the south of Chongming Island. Then He Bugui used the small boat as a fire ship and raided Chongming Port at dawn. The Eastern Japanese Navy did not expect it at all.
There was such a bold enemy navy in the hinterland of the territory that he controlled. Without any precautions, the entire port suddenly fell into a crowd of people. At the same time, the five thousand soldiers and soldiers who had come ashore were
The He Bugui naval fleet, which was watching at sea, also launched an attack without hesitation. Even so, the ferocity hidden in the bones of the Japanese soldiers still caused the Jiaolong Legion to lose more than 2,000 people. However, it was able to completely annihilate the Japanese soldiers.
He Bugui thought the Japanese's five thousand navy was worth it.
"What about those Japanese people on the mountain wall and on the beach?" Zhang Yuewan couldn't help but ask.
As soon as he heard this, He Bugui's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a strong murderous intent suddenly overflowed on his face. Zhang Yuewan had seen such murderous intent on the faces of many generals in Hetao, and although He Bugui's murderous intent was
It seemed a bit scary to others, but after seeing the bloodthirsty nature of Xue Sha and others, he still felt a little out of place. He snorted coldly, and then he said: "These people deserved to die! If time were not pressed, He Bugui would
I will definitely let them taste all the torture instruments of my dynasty."
"Why did the general speak like this?" Zhang Yuewan said in confusion. In her opinion, He Bugui should still be the hot-blooded young man she saw during the battle at Hukou, but why did he become like this now?
"It's like this. After someone led his army to capture Chongming Port, he found that in addition to the Japanese soldiers, there were more than a thousand Qingfeng women on the island. However, when the war ended, none of these women survived. After a certain
After personal interrogation, we found out that these women were specially kidnapped by the Holy Sect from Donghai Road and Jiangnan Road for the Eastern Japanese soldiers to vent their animal desires. When the Eastern Japanese soldiers saw that the war was no longer suspense, they actually frantically ordered to kill them.
All these women were beheaded. Your Highness, Princess, you can't imagine the plight of those women. Among them, the oldest was no more than forty years old, and most of them were girls between ten and fifteen years old. And the Eastern Japanese
In order to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, the soldiers not only killed them all, but also set fire to the corpses." At this point, He Bugui's eyes almost bulged out, and the veins on his hands were bulging.
Zhang Yuewan's expression suddenly changed. In such a situation, it's no wonder that a passionate young man like He Bugui, who was born in an orthodox military family, would be like this. He closed his eyes, and after a long time, Zhang Yuewan let out a long sigh: "What a bliss.
Holy religion, what a great Eastern Japanese dynasty! Come here, give me an order to report this matter to the lord immediately."
He Bugui felt strange in his heart: "Your Highness, why is this?"
Zhang Yuewan smiled coldly: "General, you don't know. In my Hetao, there are still some literati and scholars who always use the excuse that the Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss is also a subject of our heavenly dynasty.
Education is the main thing, and military is the supplement. Now I just want them to see what kind of national scum they want to civilize."
In fact, during the battle of Guangshen County that day, Zhang Yuewan had already reported this information to Haotian. However, at that time, they were just guessing about the women who were kidnapped, and there was no actual evidence. But now there is He Bugui
I don't think anyone will doubt this witness anymore.
. She naturally knew the consequences after reporting this matter, which would definitely make Hetao furious. In the future, when facing the Holy Sect of Paradise, her methods may be better than those of the surrounding aliens. But in the face of such unscrupulous behavior of the Holy Sect of Paradise,
, Zhang Yuewan really couldn't keep herself calm.
After a long while, Zhang Yuewan said: "After today's battle, I wonder where the general will go?"
He Bugui smiled bitterly: "To be honest, He is a little confused now. Ten thousand naval forces and thirty warships marched northward, but now there are only less than three thousand soldiers left. Most of the warships have been destroyed. Such a situation
, someone is really too shameless to go back and face the soldiers of the Dragon Legion."
"General, there is no need to blame yourself. Kato Taka is one of the three famous generals on the East China Sea. Being able to escape from his hands is something to be proud of. To be honest, General, I have always thought that I
I already have the ability to fight against the three famous generals in the East China Sea, but after today's battle, I truly understood the gap between myself and these famous generals." Zhang Yuewan comforted He Bugui and said, while she also felt a wry smile in her heart.
Zhang Yuewan was born in the Palace of Weiyuan Prince in Huai River. As the legitimate daughter of Prince Weiyuan, Zhang Yuewan used to hate that she was not a man. She always believed that if she were not a woman, she would be able to compete with famous generals such as Cassimbas on the battlefield.
No matter how bad the competition is, it is still at the level of the five generals in Hetao. But after the fight with Kato Ying, Zhang Yuewan realized that she was too naive. Bloody killing
They were able to fight Cassimbas regardless of the outcome, and they were able to find a way out even in the worst environment. But when he faced Kato Taka, he was actually unable to parry.
The gap is self-evident. However, Zhang Yuewan is not discouraged. If he has no confidence, then why should he compete with Kato Taka in the East China Sea in the future?
"Kato Takashi is indeed well-deserved." He Bugui said with twinkling eyes: "But I don't believe that every naval general in Dongbo is as good as Kato Takashi. Princess, after the two of us join forces,
, there are more than 30 warships, and more than 5,000 naval officers. If commanded properly, there is no chance."
Zhang Yuewan raised her eyebrows, looking at He Bugui's resolute expression, a smile suddenly appeared on her face: "What the general said is true, we can't eat Kato Eagle, how can we not eat those shrimp soldiers and crab generals? However, we still can't eat them.
We need to plan carefully. Also, although today's battle was a huge defeat, it was not without gains. We also need time to digest what we have gained today and train our two armies' ability to fight together."
