Chapter six hundred and thirtieth IX: Famous Marshals Showdown: Cloud and Mist Waterway IV
Chapter 639: The Duel between Famous Commanders: Cloud and Mist Waterway (4)
Leading the remnant army to rush out of the Yunwu Water Channel? But how much can he bring out? If Dekonzouzov is smart enough and takes the initiative to meet him outside the Yunwu Waterway, he should be able to escape the pursuit of the Hetao Navy. But he is afraid of Dekonzouzov.
If the husband is also bitten by the other party, the consequences will be serious.
As for abandoning ships to land and relying on one's own base to resist resolutely? Thinking about it, it seems unrealistic. The Hetao has already taken an absolute advantage. All sampans and small speedboats have been destroyed, making it difficult to land on one's own. Besides, the Hetao is
Will you let yourself and others go?
? He was sure that as long as he landed on the shore, the whole army would land in the Hetao without giving him any chance. To say the least, he relied on the caves on Soul Burial Island behind him to escape the search of the Hetao, but without the warship,
In the end, I can only wait for death here.
"Fight! Even if the whole army is annihilated, we must kill each other as much as possible to fight for more opportunities for the kingdom!" Kato Taka is a hero of his generation after all. Under such circumstances, the bravery and ruthlessness and heroism in his heart
His spirit was also fully aroused. He wanted to let the other party know that the Eastern Japanese navy was definitely not an easy bone to chew on. Even if the other party had a mouth full of copper and iron teeth, he would make his mouth full of blood.
The battle continues!
Although they were in a desperate situation, the Dongwa Navy gave full play to their brave and fierce nature. Every battleship was fought to the last man. Only then did they set fire to the battleship or cut through the bottom of the ship, hoping to pull away the people around them.
The warships of the Hetao Navy and the Allied Forces were buried together.
The Hetao naval coalition did not expect Dongbo to be so tough at first. Therefore, when the other party sank the bottom of the ship or set the ship on fire, the Hetao side had no time to untie the rope between the two ships, so it was defeated by the other party.
Towed and sunk together and burned together
This is not uncommon. However, after getting used to Dongbo's fighting style, the Loop has also developed a new mind. The soldiers on the deck are always paying attention to the situation on the other side's ship. When they find something is wrong, they immediately cut off the rope and then use a lasso to pull the boat over.
Our own soldiers on the other side's ship took it over.
As for setting fire to ships, the wind and waves in the Yunwu Water Channel are two to three meters high when blown by the wind. As long as you are careful, it is difficult to burn a warship that has been treated with fire protection.
The battle became more and more fierce, with the incomprehensible roars of the Japanese soldiers, the screams before their death, the shouts of the Hetao soldiers, the screams of the Korean navy, and of course, Zhang Yuewan's uninterrupted war drums.
The sound filled the whole sea. Standing on Zhang Yue
From Wan's angle, she could clearly see the corpses of soldiers who died in battle, falling like ripe apricots. Often when the battleship shook violently, countless corpses would roll directly from the deck into the sea.
Then it made red splashes.
Under the stars in the sky, there were patches of light on the sea, and countless corpses were floating on the sea, dyeing the water red. When the sea breeze blew, there was only a strong smell of blood, and even the fishy smell of the sea seemed to disappear. Broken
Debris from the battleship was floating everywhere, with broken masts and half of the sails burned, filling the entire sea.
The warships on the sea are getting rarer and rarer, and there are only a handful of warships flying the Donghai Sunrise Flag. Zhang Yuewan took a closer look and found that there were only less than 130 warships left on the entire battlefield.
The Japanese flagship under his feet was slaughtered in all directions, and it was also covered in scars. Even the sails had been completely burned, leaving only the bare mast still standing on the sea.
I don’t know when, a flash of white appeared on the east side of the battlefield, the moon has set in the west, and the stars in the sky have disappeared. It’s almost dawn. At this time, the sunrise of Dongwa is still hanging on the entire battlefield.
Of the East China Sea flags, Kato Takashi's own flagship is the only one left.
Because the Xuetu Bafang and Polu were designated one-on-one challenges, the surrounding Hetao Navy coalition forces did not choose to help. After they completely eliminated the Dongwa Navy, they quietly gathered around and watched.
For this final decisive battle.
On the Blood Slaughter Bafang, there were less than ten people who could continue to fight. Kato Taka's body was covered in blood, some from the other party and some from his own. His old subordinates, the Nagumo Wolf Guards, were lying at his feet.
The fatal injury was a bloody hole in his throat. In the previous battle, he was killed by He Bugui's steel fork.
Looking at the few remaining subordinates around him and the densely packed Hetao Navy coalition forces around him, Kato Taka suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared. Back then, he relied on his fleet to sail across the East China Sea and became one of the three famous generals in the East China Sea. However,
Now, his fleet is gone, all his soldiers have died in battle, and everything has become a cloud.
He Bugui's situation is not good either. There are only less than thirty people on the Polu who can fight, and everyone is injured. Even He Bugui himself, his naked upper body is dripping with blood. Kill him.
When he was guarding the Nanyun Wolf Guards, he was stabbed in the waist by the Nanyun Wolf Guards' dying counterattack. The knife took away at least half a kilogram of flesh. However, a smile still appeared on He Bugui's face, because he won.
!
"Fu Jianglou, are you still unwilling to come out now?" Kato Takashi suddenly shouted loudly.
There was no response, because except for He Bugui and a few other people, no one knew that Fu Jianglou had left. The battlefield was silent except for Kato Taka, who was still shouting loudly.
"Boom!" A loud noise suddenly came from the mast of the Polu, but Zhang Yuewan's hand was too strong, and he actually broke the head of the big drum.
Zhang Yuewan casually threw the war drum into the sea, turned over, holding a cable in his hand, and slid down from the mast like a fairy in the sky. He walked to Kato Takashi and looked at the famous Eastern Japanese commander who still had a ferocious expression. Zhang Yuewan
He said in a deep voice: "Commander Fu, he left during the battle just now."
"What?" Zhang Yuewan specially poured her inner strength, so all the soldiers on the entire sea could hear clearly. The Hetao soldiers didn't care about it, but the Korean soldiers were different. Zhang Yuewan could clearly see that many Korean soldiers
He looked dazed, looked pale, and even burst into tears.
Zhang Yuewan sighed in her heart. It seems that Fu Jianglou is indeed the spiritual pillar of Goryeo. If the news of Fu Jianglou's death comes out during the battle, the morale of the Goryeo Navy will inevitably be greatly reduced. The outcome of the war will really depend on it.
Unpredictable.
"But!" Zhang Yuewan shouted suddenly, raising the sword in his hand: "Shuai Fu has handed over the command of the Goryeo Navy to this imperial concubine! I hope that I can lead you to rebuild the glory of Goryeo and pay tribute to the tragic death on that day.
The people of Goryeo who were killed by the Dongwa sword must take revenge! Of course, the premise is to completely eliminate the Dongwa navy!"
After a pause, there was silence on the battlefield, even Kato Taka didn't make any noise.
Zhang Yuewan smiled with satisfaction and continued: "Now, we have completely defeated the Eastern Japanese navy, and our clan has destroyed the Eastern Japanese, and revenge is not far away! What we have to do now is to use Kato Taka's head to lay the foundation for Fu
Handsome heroic spirits, and the reputation of our Shenzhou Heshuai! Use their blood to wash away our previous shame!"
Zhang Yuewan took two steps forward and walked in front of Kato Takashi. Looking at the Japanese pirate leader who was once all-powerful but now looked lonely, the sword in Zhang Yuewan's hand was inserted back into the scabbard.
"Kato Takashi! According to the heinous crimes you Japanese have committed in our country and Korea, I should have executed you to death and cut your body into thousands of pieces to avenge the millions of innocent people who died tragically under your butcher knives. However,
You Kato Taka after all
He is a famous general of the same generation as Marshal He Huairen and Marshal Fu Jianglou. From your standpoint, you are worthy of being a hero of the generation." Zhang Yuewan said with a serious face: "Let's do this, I will not disgrace your reputation.
You commit suicide!"
Defeated, Kato Taka clearly understood that he had been defeated! He let out a long roar again, and Kato Taka suddenly burst into tears. The pirate leader who once roamed the East China Sea finally came to the end of his life today. Dimly, he suddenly remembered
He recalled the familiar song he once sang when he first started his promising career as a pirate:
We are pirates, fierce pirates, holding a wine bottle in our left hand and treasure in our right hand.
We are pirates, death-seeking pirates, with daggers in our mouths and scimitars at our waists.
We are pirates, free pirates, working hard for survival under the guidance of the black flag.
We are pirates, poor pirates. We don’t gain much, but we lose a lot.
We are pirates, pirates with no future, we have no names, only marks.
We are pirates, pirates without tomorrow, never ending, floating in the East China Sea and the South China Sea...
Slowly raising the ax in his hand, Kato Taka felt that his arm was so heavy. Finally looking around at the soldiers around him, Kato Taka suddenly shouted, and the ax struck from his chest like lightning, drawing blood.
It spurted out with a bang. Back away.
After taking two steps, Kato Taka leaned on the mast of the Blood Slaughter Bafang, eyes wide and legs trying to stand straight. Blood slowly flowed down the mast. After half a stick of incense, Kato Taka's body slowly became weak.
Go down, lean your head quietly against the mast, and slide to the ground, motionless.
The life of a generation of heroes who roamed the East China Sea and the leader of Japanese pirates who once killed millions of people ended here.
The sea breeze blew by, and the smell of blood became even stronger. On the deck of the bloody massacre, the few remaining Japanese navy soldiers raised their weapons without hesitation, chose the highest honor of the Japanese warriors, and committed seppuku.
Zhang Yuewan sighed softly, grabbed a torch, and threw it on the unburned sail of the Blood Slaughter Bafang. The fire gradually started to burn, and then engulfed this once infamous ocean-going battleship.
"Kato Takashi is dead, but the battle is not over yet!" Zhang Yuewan had returned to the Dinghai and inserted Fu Jianglou's command sword into his belt. Zhang Yuewan shouted flatly: "Take a quarter of an hour to clean the battlefield. I won't do it."
I hope there are still Japanese soldiers on the sea who are struggling to survive! In a quarter of an hour, prepare to go ashore!"
Soul Burial Island is the home of Kato Taka. After Kato Taka joined the Eastern Japanese Navy, he did not completely abandon the place where he started. More than three thousand of his old subordinates are still stationed here all year round. These people did not have the opportunity to participate just now
From the battle on the sea, plus the fact that Kato Takashi was originally deployed on both sides of the Yunwu Waterway, preparing to ambush the Japanese soldiers of the Hetao Navy, there were more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers on Soul Burial Island in total.
He Bugui whispered beside Zhang Yuewan: "Mother, we only have two hours. At noon, the Yunwu Water Channel will set off huge waves again, and we don't need to take that risk."
Although He Bugui was the commander of the Jiaolong Corps, Zhang Yuewan was Haotian's wife, who went to the Jiaolong Corps to supervise military affairs, and was the actual commander of the Goryeo Navy named by Fu Jianglou, so He Bugui specifically asked for instructions,
"Two hours is enough!" Zhang Yuewan said in a deep voice: "After landing, we immediately divided into four groups to search and attack according to the original plan, and met in the middle of Soul Burial Island. No matter what buildings we encountered along the way, they were all burned down.
, no matter who you encounter, kill them all. Destroy all trees and other things that can build ships."
Zhang Cangzong interjected: "Yue Wan, there should be many caves on Soul Burial Island. We are not familiar with them. We may suffer a big loss, and we may not have enough time."
Zhang Yuewan raised her eyebrows and looked at her uncle with great dissatisfaction. Currently, Zhang Cangzong was deploying a combat mission, but he treated it as a family meeting. Not only did he interrupt the superior's order without permission, but he also used such an affectionate name. In the eyes of outsiders, he was very disrespectful to the Hetao.
His impression would inevitably be compromised. However, Zhang Yuewan opened his mouth and said nothing in the end. After all, this was his uncle, and he had tried his best to protect his father from the encirclement. In such an occasion, how much should he give to him?
Some respect.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuewan's expression remained unchanged and she said: "All caves must be blocked with stones! We still have more than 130,000 soldiers, so there is absolutely no problem in terms of troop strength. Two hours is enough. In addition, Wu Zhou,
You lead 10,000 naval troops to guard the warships to avoid accidents. Remember, you have nothing to do to guard the warships. You can send small boats to search the coastal areas. If there are other docks or ships, burn them all."
Zhang Yuewan's plan is very simple. She doesn't have much time. It is impossible to uproot all the Japanese soldiers on the island. However, she can burn their houses and food, block the caves where they may hide, and destroy all ships that can be built.
trees like these, even if they can get from these
After surviving a series of raids, the first thing they had to deal with was their own food, clothing, housing and transportation. They had to cut down all the trees so that the other party would not have enough supplies to build a ship. Even if they did not starve to death, they would at least be able to survive.
He must also be trapped to death on Soul Burial Island.
At this time, the Hetao army had just set off from Tiandu Shengjing and had just arrived at Raozhou City.
They have been stationed under the city of Raozhou for two full days, but the Huai River Zhang family has never sent troops to rescue Raozhou, and the Hetao side has no idea what their plans are, and they have never attacked the city, so the 700,000-strong army is like a huge army.
The turtle was motionless under the city of Raozhou.
Although Li Xiaomo is now the commander of the Legion of Destruction, the free and easy elegance he has cultivated for a long time has not been diminished by the long-distance march. After handling military affairs for a day, he felt a little bored and simply took a few soldiers in the camp to just
Start patrolling.
The 700,000-strong army in Hetao set out for the expedition, and the camp was dozens of miles in circumference. However, by chance, Chu Lianfeng's Zhulu Legion was right next to the Destroyed Legion. Being bored, Li Xiaomo simply went to the Zhulu Legion's camp, hoping to find his own.
Chat with old friends.
But just after taking a few steps, Li Xiaomo suddenly felt that something was wrong. The camp of the Destroyed Legion was not far away from several cavalry legions, but looking from a distance, although the lights of the battalion commander of the cavalry legion were still flickering, he could clearly feel that the camp was
There were only a few people among them. Li Xiaomo was shocked and quickly grabbed
He passed the cowhide pillow carried on the back of the soldier and placed it on the ground, and he squatted down and pressed it against the cowhide pillow. Sure enough, there were waves of low muffled thunder in the distance. It was obvious that a large number of cavalry were marching in a hurry. But unfortunately
What's strange is that even with Li Xiaomo's sharp ears, he couldn't tell the exact number of cavalry.
The Zhang family in Huai River had less than 50,000 cavalry, so it was obviously not them. In this case, Hetao should be mobilizing the cavalry to carry out strategic raids. Li Xiaomo thought to himself, but is it necessary to deal with a Zhang family?
Li Xiaomo always felt that something was wrong. The total strength of the Zhang family was only 250,000, but the Hetao side had strong troops, strong horses, good soldiers, and brave generals. Only two main legions were needed to defeat the Zhang family's army. And with the current strength of the Hetao army,
There is no need to mobilize so many cavalry for a surprise attack. Could it be that Hetao had something else in mind?
Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped when he was about to arrive at the Zhulu Legion camp and quickly returned to his tent. If Hetao really had other intentions, then there must be military missions on his side.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at his main camp, one of Haotian's soldiers came to deliver the order: "General Li, my lord has given orders to destroy the 100,000 soldiers of the Legion. The whole army will immediately set off eastward and cross the river at Hualin Ferry. Three
We must arrive within the hour."
Li Xiaomo said doubtfully: "My lord just ordered me to destroy the army? I guarantee that I will be able to arrive in three hours, but it will take at least two hours for the whole army to cross the Huaihe River."
Hualin Ferry is in the northeast of Raozhou, where the Huai River turns. On the other side is Meizhou on Yangzhou Road. Starting from Raozhou City and marching in a hurry, it only takes two hours to reach Hualin Ferry, but Haotian
Since three hours were given, it was obvious that sufficient time was reserved for Li Xiaomo to pack up the camp. However, the Hetao Navy has now set off for the East China Sea, so it may be difficult to cross the river.
The soldier smiled and said: "General, please rest assured, five pontoon bridges have already been built at Hualin Ferry."
Li Xiaomo's brows furrowed even more. It was obvious that the Hetao had not stopped in the past few days, and the troops stationed in Raozhou were just confusing people. Then he asked in a deep voice: "Only my general's army of destruction has received the order.
?”
The soldier hesitated for a moment: "The Zhulu Legion is also among them, I don't know about the rest of the bids."
Li Xiaomo nodded and said: "I understand, General. We will definitely be able to reach Hualin Ferry within three hours."
The soldiers left in a hurry. Li Xiaomo thought about it carefully and finally returned to his camp. The goal of sending troops to Hualin Ferry was very simple. It must be the Holy Sect of Bliss. However, what was the plan of Hetao and why did he
