At this time, there were no more than a thousand troops. Although they were from Dongling, they were Miao Tong's close confidants. After receiving Miao Tong's order, and in view of Miao Tong's previous experience, one or two of them had expressions on their faces.
murderous look.
"Get a boat and send General Miao to rest." Cao Hong sighed. He knew that Miao Tong missed his homeland and was not willing to watch this bloody scene.
"Commander Cao, I'm leaving."
When Miao Tong boarded the ship, Cao Hong, who was the leader of the Night Owls, had a suspicious nature. When he heard this sentence, he suddenly thought of something.
"Wait for the five of you to protect General Miao Tong...if General Miao commits suicide, stop him at all costs."
The five dead Night Owl warriors nodded calmly, divided into a small boat, and quickly headed towards Miao Tong.
Cao Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
If Miao Tong cannot be brought back, he, the leader of the Night Owls, has failed in his mission.
"Commander Cao, we are all ready." At this time, a man who looked like a captain came over and spoke.
"Very good. This time, I, Cao Hong, can rely on you all!"
"Raising the Dragon Flag——"
…
"Crash!" With the remnants of the navy, Kang Zhu's face showed a hint of madness.
Under the huge plow of the building ship, a Xishu warship that was leading the battle was unable to fight. In just one move, it was smashed into pieces by the building ship.
Although the more than 300 Tanglin warships no longer have a mighty force, they look like they are charging into the formation crazily, and their morale has skyrocketed.
On the Western Shu Navy side, after Dou Tong died in battle, Fan Lu took over the post of governor. Following Dou Tong's legacy, he did not retreat at all, but faced the difficulties and fought the final battle with the Dongling Navy.
Fight.
"Lift the racket stick for me!" Fan Lu's eyes were about to burst.
In this water battle, countless old friends died in front of him.
"Bang, collapse!"
With the cooperation of the shield boat, a scorched building ship rushed out of the sea of fire. Not long after, the poles were hit one after another, and it suddenly became unable to hold on. The hull was shaky until it half sank into the river.
The Dongling soldiers on the boat jumped into the river one after another after firing several rounds of flying arrows.
"Shoot them!"
In the water formation in Xishu, the reorganized flying arrows waited for the opportunity to be thrown forward. Many of the Dongling soldiers who jumped into the river were hit by arrows. They struggled for a while and could not move again. Until the nearby river surface, more people appeared.
More than a hundred floating corpses.
The Xishu soldiers who fell into the water also did not escape. They were either directly hit by plows or turned into hedgehogs by flying arrows. At this time, both the enemy and us, whether they were generals or soldiers, were red-blooded and did not kill each other.
I vow never to give up.
One defends and the other attacks. There is no room for either of them.
"General Kang, good news."
Kang Zhu propped himself up and was watching the battle when he suddenly heard General Pi's voice.
"What?"
"The Commander-in-Chief of the Western Shu Navy, Dou Tong, has been killed in battle. The men and horses in the front line have been observing for a long time, and this news should be correct!"
Listen, Kang Zhu was not as ecstatic as he imagined. For some reason, he just felt a little disappointed. There was once a list of famous generals in the world, and he ranked tenth, while Dou Tong ranked ninth.
He knew that there were no rivers in the Shunan area of Shuzhou. This former little king of Shunan relied on selling horses and medicinal materials to build an army and protect the people.
But it was precisely this kind of person who, for the sake of the great cause of Western Shu, devoted himself to Xiangjiang River and became the naval commander.
"What a joy to use my strengths to defeat the enemy's weaknesses!"
"General Dou, a hero in the world! Although you and I are each our own masters, Kang Zhu admires you. If I don't die, I will go to your tomb and pay my respects to you for three glasses of water and wine!"
Kang Zhu stood up again, his expression even more murderous.
He had sacrificed almost everything for Dongling. He was only one step away from entering Cangzhou.
"Flag order, enter the battle as we approach Xishu, and fight immediately!"
The bloody setting sun spreads across the long river surface. Occasionally, waves of carrion-eating waterbirds fly anxiously from a distance.
I don’t know how many rounds I killed.
Up to now, Dongling's navy still has no way to break through the Western Shu water formation. But fortunately, the Shu people's navy is about to lose its hold.
Just take some more time -
"General, general, reinforcements are coming!"
Kang Zhu, who was observing the enemy's formation, turned around in surprise when he heard this sentence. The tenacity of the Shu people had greatly exceeded his expectations.
This war cannot be delayed any longer.
"Jianglong Banner, it's my Jianglong Banner in Dongling!" Countless soldiers on the main ship shouted in joy.
"Don't worry, send a small boat to find out first." Kang Zhu was not blindfolded and thought for a while before speaking.
Soon, the boat that went to investigate came back.
"General, I recognized him. He is Captain Shen from Fenglingwu in Chuzhou."
Kang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. Then he clenched his fist tightly.
Although there are not many naval forces rushing to help, the war has reached this point. If this new force joins forces, the time to defeat the Shu people will only become shorter and shorter.
"Flag order! Let the navy of Fenglingwu cooperate with the main ship and launch an attack from the flank! Within three hours, we will set foot on Cangzhou!"
As long as we set foot in Cangzhou, things in Li Ducheng should turn around.
…
Lieutenant Shen was a young man, about twenty-seven or eight years old. Two years ago, he offended a counselor in Chuzhou and was falsely accused of being a spy for Jiang bandits. He was almost executed by Qiu Hou Wen.
It was General Miao Tong who proved his innocence.
He was moody, lustful, and sometimes withheld Fenglingwu's military pay. But these did not conflict with his desire to repay his kindness.
Turning around, Captain Shen glanced at the direction Miao Tong was leaving and laughed calmly.
"Why is Captain Shen laughing?" Cao Hong asked.
"I am about to do something to soothe my conscience, and I feel happy. Commander Cao also knows that if I take these brothers with me, many people will probably die."
Cao Hong nodded silently.
"I only hope that Commander Cao will see my loyalty and bravery today. When General Miao Tong enters Western Shu in the future, please help me."
"nature."
"Commander Cao, take a few of your men in a small boat and go to the reed swamp over there to ambush you."
"Why is that."
"Because you don't know how to fight with water, you have to listen to me."
Cao Hong agreed, and had just divided the boats and crossed over. Unexpectedly, not far away from him, the navy, which consisted of only a thousand people, had refilled its sails and rushed towards the water formation of Dongling.
"Donngling Fenglingwu, Colonel Shen Bai, is here to help General Kang Zhu——"
Cao Hong was startled, then turned around and found that the navy of more than a thousand people had already reached the Dongling Water Formation. At this time, Kang Zhu did not have any troops to break up the rear.
The first warship to bear the brunt was hit by Shen Bai's stern and sank quickly into the river.
"The world is loyal and brave."
Cao Hong stood upright, closed his eyes and cupped his hands, bowing in the direction of these more than a thousand people.
