Thanks to Chen Ci for his monthly ticket, and to Dark Night Sky Dragon for his reward. For his support of Lundao, Lundao is deeply grateful.
In the early morning, there was mist and no wind. The surface of the Chibi River was calm.
The water was gurgling, and three light boats were cruising on the river near Wulin. The bows of these three boats were hung with the dragon flag of the Han Empire, swinging slightly. Obviously, these were the actions of the three boats.
Han army clippers scouting for Xunjiang River.
After patrolling in the middle of the night, the Han soldiers on the clipper were a little tired. Since the Jingzhou Army, the Soochow Army, and the troops of King Cao Cao of Wei formed a blood alliance and jointly obeyed the orders of the Han Emperor to defeat the demon army, all the armies
They were all renamed Han Army.
At this moment, the leader of the clipper, Shi Chang, was sitting on the edge of the bow, looking at the river flowing under the boat with wan interest, and at the Demon Army's water village shrouded in mist, which looked like a mountain range. Obviously, he
Having become accustomed to this kind of exploration in enemy waters, and having not slept all night, his skills were obviously lacking.
"Er Gouzi, send a signal to the other two ships and tell them to hurry up. After this trip, we can go back to sleep." Shi Chang stretched hard, and then calmly faced the same people standing on the bow.
, said a young soldier who was on duty for observation.
Ergouzi heard the words, nodded in agreement, and then smiled and said: "Boss, it seems that the river god is blessing us tonight, so we can go back and have a peaceful sleep."
The chief also laughed and said: "Yes... the river god bless you. If you want to go home alive to see your wife and children while doing our job, I'm afraid the only way to ask for the river god's blessing is to ask for the blessing of the river god. It's okay if you encounter an enemy's big ship. What if?"
It is a coincidence that we encountered a small boat belonging to the Demon Army. I am afraid that more than half of the brothers will have to stay in the Yangtze River to accompany the River God."
When he said these words, Shi Chang was smiling, but his tone was full of bitterness. As he said, if it were not a large-scale water battle, generally the big ships from both sides would not appear. Moreover, the big ships were large in size.
You can see it from a distance. A small speedboat like theirs, which only carries a dozen or so people, will turn around and run away if you see it from a distance. Big ships don't bother to chase such small boats.
But if you encounter a small boat that is also a scout, it may be dangerous. Because the two sides have about the same speed and similar strength. Unless the difference in the number of ships is too big, whoever escapes first will become the target of the other side.
. Therefore, when patrol boats meet, it is usually a fierce fight. Even if they win, only 20 to 30 people will survive in the end.
"Hey, I really want to meet some of the Demon Army's clippers. To be honest with you, I've been a soldier for several months and I haven't really had any experience with the Demon Army yet!" Ergouzi said very skillfully.
He waved a flag to the two clippers behind him. He licked his lips and smiled innocently, his eyes full of burning desire. He had the aura that a good man should make achievements on the battlefield.
Shi Chang smiled slightly, glanced at Er Gouzi and said, "A fight? Er Gouzi, you haven't gotten married yet, right?"
"Hey, my family originally arranged a marriage for me. But because I want to be a soldier, the woman's family has to cancel the marriage. If you cancel, just cancel it. Anyway, I will become a general in the future. My wife wants
More or less." Ergouzi looked disdainful. His family was in the south, which was relatively peaceful. But he was an out-and-out passionate young man who came all the way to join the army regardless of his family's objections.
"Oh..." The chief nodded slightly and said, "So, you become a soldier just to fight the demon army?"
"Yes!" Ergouzi nodded, straightened his back and said, "What can you do as a soldier if you don't fight against the demon army?"
After saying that, he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Boss, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. I originally wanted to be a soldier with Emperor Ming, but I'm afraid that I'm small and the Yellow Turban Army won't want me.
, that’s why the Jingzhou Army came. Later I heard that His Majesty Emperor Ming even accepted the old men carrying hoes, and now I regret it to death..."
"Shh! You don't want your life!" Shi Chang hurriedly made a silent gesture. Now the Han Empire has not formed an alliance with the Ming Empire, especially the Jingzhou Army. Because Liu Bei was angry with Qin Yang, he even ordered his soldiers to fight with the Yellow Turban Army.
Any interaction, like what Ergouzi said today, would be enough for this guy to receive a hundred military sticks.
Ergouzi also looked around cautiously, and then he chuckled and said: "Boss, I can tell you. I have been holding these words in my heart for a long time. When can our Jingzhou Army be like the Yellow Turban Army?
, have a happy fight with the demon army, and I will kill a few more demon cubs."
"You still said that!" The Chief of Staff frowned. Although there was a stern look on his face, he secretly sighed in his heart. Who among the soldiers doesn't want to make great achievements, who doesn't want to follow someone who is good at fighting, and who doesn't want to become a soldier?
A member of an army full of glory? He himself has been in the Jingzhou Army for three full years. In the past three years, although there have been many battles, most of the opponents of the Jingzhou Army are armies of other princes. Even the few
The first time I fought with the demon army, I lost more than the victory. Even if I won, I didn't dare to pursue him. Now, what bloody soldier doesn't yearn to fight side by side with the Yellow Turban Army, or even join the Yellow Turban Army, and kill them happily.
One game?
It's just that, in three years, this commander has transformed from a passionate recruit to a veteran. Deep down, although he also longs for a bloody battlefield, most of the time, he just thinks about how to be lazy and how to do more.
Earn some money so that after you retire from the army, you can go home and buy a piece of land and marry a wife.
Naturally, Shi Chang's idea cannot be said to be wrong. After three years of licking blood with a knife and facing precarious conditions, even the most passionate person will have his blood gradually cool down.
Stretching, Shi Chang stood up slowly, patted Ergouzi in front of him, who was a head shorter than him, and said lightly: "Boy, remember, the most important thing on the battlefield is not how many enemies you kill, but how many enemies you kill.
How can you survive after killing the enemy? Only by living can you kill more enemies."
The words were very long, and the words were sincere. Ergouzi nodded as if he understood, and then smiled, "Boss, I remember it! My father said the same, he is only a son like me, and he is still waiting for me to go back and give it to him.
I’m giving birth to a big fat grandson!”
In the early morning, there was mist, and the calm river water. Everything looked so ordinary, no different from ordinary times. But the hand that She Chang placed on Er Gouzi's shoulder suddenly became stiff.
"This is..." Shi Chang's pupils suddenly shrank, looking over Er Gouzi's head into the distance in horror.
"The fleet! It's the fleet of the Demon Army! The Demon Army is attacking! Turn around quickly and return to the water village!"
The shrill exclamations instantly tore apart the seemingly peaceful morning. On board the three Han army clippers, the soldiers who had not slept all night and were in extreme distress were all panicked and panicked at this moment.
Although there are many veterans who have been in the army for several years, even these veterans have never seen such a large fleet!
Above the river, through the thin mist, a huge mountain-like thing is moving quickly forward. This is a mountain range composed of tens of thousands of warships, and the scarlet "Devil" flag has been raised high
Hanging up, it looked particularly dazzling in the cool mist.
Under the banners, thousands of speedboats rode the wind and waves like arrows from the sky. Huge buildings with a length of 100 meters came like giants. They rolled up turbulent waves on the water, shocking the soul!
"What's that in front of you?" On a huge building ship, a man wearing a blood-colored battle armor and a red cloak said calmly, pointing to the three small boats that were hastily turning around in front of him. This man was tall and had a dark complexion.
Yellow, a pair of slender and long eyes, the bright eyes shining with a breathtaking light in the gaps of the eyelids.
"Report to the marshal. That is the scout ship of the Han army." Next to the red-armored general, a deputy general bowed and said.
"Scout ship?" The red-armored general narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Instruct Xia Houying to kill them directly. Since they have discovered our whereabouts, we cannot let them leave to report to the Han army!"
The flag was waved, and the red-armored general's order was quickly conveyed. Driving at the front of the entire fleet, the number of demon army speedboats that originally rushed towards the three Han army speedboats increased from five to fifteen in an instant!
When the army's warships just started to turn around, the demon army's clippers were already less than a hundred meters away from them!
"Fire arrows!" A dark-skinned, muscular man at the front of the fifteen Demon Army speedboats fiercely drew out his sword and gave the order.
Suddenly, the sound of piercing the sky continued to sound, and all the archers on the fifteen demon army speedboats bent their bows and arrows at the same time, and fired towards the three speedboats.
For a moment, the sound of "bang bang bang puff" sounded, and fifteen fast boats were filled with hundreds of demon army archers. And among these demon army who were responsible for blocking and intercepting, none of them was mediocre.
When shot down, almost a hundred arrows were inserted into the Han army's clippers. Several Han soldiers were also hit by the arrows, and blood suddenly burst out, and they screamed in agony.
"No! The Demon Army's ship is too fast!" Shi Chang, who was hiding behind the boat canopy, frowned and said in horror. Among the three major naval forces today, the Jingzhou Navy's ships are the strongest, while the Soochow Navy's ships are the strongest.
As for the Demon Army, because the Demon Army is originally engaged in cross-sea operations, its ships are not inferior to the Jingzhou Navy in terms of sturdiness, and because they have been fighting with the Jiangdong Navy for several years, after transformation, their speed is no longer inferior to the Soochow Navy.
.
Today, the three Han army scout ships originally belonged to the Jingzhou navy. Although the three ships suffered very little damage from a round of bows and arrows, their speed was far inferior to that of the demon army.
"Boss, fight them!" Ergouzi's blood surged, and he drew his knife and was about to step forward.
"Asshole! Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?!" Shi Chang pulled back Ergouzi beside him and ordered the archers to fight back. The sailors accelerated their rowing and shouted.
Er Gouzi looked angrily. He was a sailor on the ship, but because he had just been talking to Shi Chang, the place where he was supposed to be was replaced by another sailor. As a result, under the first round of bow and arrow attacks, that man
The sailor had already been hit by an arrow and fell into the water.
"Boss, I'm not afraid of death!" Ergouzi argued.
"Pa!" A loud slap hit Ergouzi's face, and Shi Chang said angrily: "Fart! How can a soldier be afraid of death?! We are all dead, who will go back to report the news?! Don't forget,
Why are we patrolling here all the time!"
Ergouzi was completely stunned by the slap from the commander. He forgot to cover his face and just stared blankly at the commander who was directing the battle.
"Fifty meters away!" Seeing the demon army's fast boats getting closer and closer to the three ships, the archers' attacks became more and more fierce. Anxiety burned in Shi Chang's eyes, and the other two fast boats
The ship was also suffering the same blow. It was even more severe than my own ship.
"Give me the signaling flag!" Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Shi Chang's eyes, and he snatched the signaling flag that was still in Ergouzi's hand.
"Turn around?! Boss, didn't you mean..." Ergouzi instantly understood the signal signal that Shi Chang sent to the other two ships, and couldn't help but look at Shi Chang in surprise.
"Stop talking nonsense! Ergouzi, can you swim two miles in ten minutes?!" Shi Chang shouted in a deep voice.
"Erli?!" Ergouzi was stunned, but he said truthfully: "I grew up by the water, but the fastest time I swam was fifteen minutes, and that was only when my father chased me and beat me.
quick……"
"Okay! Fifteen minutes!" Shi Chang nodded and kept saying the flag in his hand: "Now it's not your father chasing you, but the demon army chasing you! If you can't swim back, your father won't even think about it.
Repay your grandson!"
"Shi Chang, what do you mean... Oops!"
"Plop!" There was a sound. Ergouzi had been kicked into the river by the commander. At this moment, the commander had ordered the three speedboats to turn around.
"Second son of a bitch! I was the first to be the hero! You must come back alive! Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost! Remember, when the time comes, you will bring your son to pay homage to my grave!"
"Shi Chang growled lowly at Ergouzi, who was opening his mouth to shout.
Then, he suddenly turned around, drew out his saber, and shouted: "Brothers! If you run, you will die, if you don't run, you will die! If you persist for fifteen minutes, we will be heroes! It belongs to men, follow me!"
"Kill!" On the three warships, dozens of Han army sailors already understood what Shi Chang meant. They couldn't help but roar violently at the same time, turned around the bow, and rushed towards the fifteen oncoming demon ships.
Military Clipper.
"Boss..." Ergouzi stared blankly at his comrades who had turned around in the water. Big drops of water were flowing on his face. He was completely unaware of it. In the next moment, his figure became resolute.
disappearing above the river. Heroes and veterans often just have a thought...
Chibi, the water village of the Han Empire. The front army of the Han Empire navy and the flagship of the Jingzhou navy commander.
"Are you telling the truth?" In the antique cabin, a slightly fat man leaned on a large chair covered with thick fur and said calmly.
"Really, really...General, let's prepare quickly...the demon army is about to come, it's about to kill." In the cabin, Ergouzi was so tired that he almost lay on the ground, his face was pale, and he was panting.
.Thirteen minutes later, Ergouzi had reached his limit and returned to his own water village at a speed that he had never imagined.
"Asshole! General, do I still need one of your pawns to teach me how to do it?" The fat man known as the general glanced at the wet Ergouzi with contempt, and there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in his expression. You know.
, the layout of this cabin was carefully chosen by him. Usually, even the generals of the navy under his command have to take off their shoes first when they come in. Such a wet guy is lying there now. When he thinks of this,
The general couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart.
"Haha, General Cai, I went to see it just now. Today there is only a layer of mist on the river. The field of view is very good. If the demon army is dispatched in large numbers, I am afraid that the sentries on our mast have already seen it..." A tall figure
The thin general with a mustache said with a smile.
"General Zhang Yun means that this boy is lying?!" The fat general is none other than Liu Bei's commanding general, the commander of the Jingzhou navy, and now the former general of the navy of the Han Empire, Cai Mao.
After listening to Zhang Yun's words, Cai Hao looked at Ergouzi thoughtfully and said lightly: "Did you hear what General Zhang said? You said you swam back alone. How fast were you? There are people on the Chibi River.
How wide?! If you had this time to swim back, the demon army must have arrived. You are obviously lying! Which battalion are you from? What is your name?!"
Ergouzi was already exhausted. When he heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He didn't know where the strength came from. He staggered up and said: "Report to the general, this is absolutely true! Our seniors and others
The brothers on the two scout ships have all been killed by the demon army. There are so many demon armies! There are tens of thousands of warships!"
"Tens of thousands of warships?! Haha..." Zhang Yun couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and let out a haha after hearing this, and said: "There are tens of thousands of warships, wouldn't it mean that the demon army is out in full force? There is such a big movement of the demon army, but how come there are only a few of you?
A warship was discovered? Why didn't you answer when General Zhang asked you your name and unit just now? I think you must be a spy sent by the demon army with the intention of causing chaos in our army!"
Ergouzi was stunned by Zhang Yun's question. After thinking about it carefully, the warships of the Demon Army seemed to suddenly fall from the sky. They were not discovered until they were hundreds of meters away. But this kind of thing is not something he, a small soldier, can do.
Understandably, seeing Zhang Yun's retort, he couldn't help but feel anxious and argued: "The villain's troops are the fifth battalion of the Jingzhou Navy of the Han Empire, the third scout fleet, and the position messenger. General, those demonic troops are indeed coming soon.
"Haha? Ergouzi? Don't you have a name?" Zhang Yun kept asking like a detective who was good at reasoning and analysis and had full evidence.
"My name...yes, yes!" Although Er Gouzi didn't understand why the two generals were still asking him such insignificant things about his name at this time, he still replied: "My surname is Jiang. My father gave me the name."
His nickname was Jiang Qin."
"Jiang Qin? That's a good name, but it's a pity that he is a spy of the Demon Army! Come here, cut off this man's limbs and limbs, and throw him into the river to feed the fish! By the way, you can tell the whole army that anyone who sees the Demon Army in the future will
Treat spies like this!" Zhang Yun's expression suddenly changed and he shouted loudly.
"General! I'm telling the truth! Let me go! I'm not a spy. If I die, I will die on the battlefield! General! The demon army is coming..." Ergouzi yelled at the top of his lungs, but he was completely powerless.
He resisted and was forcibly dragged out by several guards.
Until this moment, Cai Mao, who had been silent all the time, said calmly: "General Zhang, you should have done this a long time ago. Did you see? My good ferret fur carpet was ruined by this demon army spy.
