Two days later, in the morning, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. There was no cloud in the blue sky, and it was as clear as if it had been washed with water. Under the influence of the breeze, blue waves rippled on the canal, and wisps of ripples drifted away with the wind.
everywhere, dissipated on the endless river
The river flows quietly, and the sound is extremely subtle, like the snoring of a sleeping child. No one can bear to disturb him. However, as the sun rises high, the beautiful sound is gradually replaced by the noisy paddling,
Shouts, replaced by curses
Suddenly, countless warships flashed out on the vast river, large and small, of different colors, and a bright flag was planted on the bow of each ship, with a big character Liang faintly displayed on it.
Jin Dingguo stood on a large ship in the middle. He poked his head and looked at the motionless opposite bank. Then he frowned and said to the deputy general next to him: "Didn't you say that the Donglin Army has made big moves in the past two days? Why?
No reaction at all?"
Seeing that his face was not good-looking, the deputy general immediately raised his hands and replied: "Commander, please calm down. According to reliable information, the enemy suddenly changed his routine in the past two days. All the soldiers were sharpening their swords and did not take any other actions. My subordinates heard that Donglin Kingdom's
The best emperor has always been full of tricks, and his subordinates are worried that there is fraud, so——"
"So you concealed the military information?" Jin Dingguo looked at him coldly.
The lieutenant general broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said: "My subordinate concealed himself and refused to retaliate. His crime deserves death, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Jin Dingguo gave him a slap in the face with an angry face and scolded: "Asshole, who asked you to make your own decisions? Don't think that I don't know anything. I have been observing you for a long time.
As my lieutenant general, you are usually the most greedy and fearful of death. Now you lied about military information in order to survive. This time you said such words that disturbed the morale of the army. You actually have the nerve to emphasize your reasons. Come on, pull it.
Go down and chop it down."
"Yes -" Several guards came forward and pulled the deputy general down and beheaded him. There was a "thud" sound, and the bloody head fell into the river.
Jin Dingguo was aloof and flamboyant, and no one had the right to object to anything he decided. The subordinate whose head was beheaded just now had good intentions, but was executed for "disturbing the morale of the army." It can be seen from this that
Fatty Jin only has power in his eyes and nothing else
He immediately shouted: "Today, my 600,000-strong army came out in full force. The purpose is to completely wipe out the Donglin Kingdom and avenge the Prime Minister. Although the Lin army on the other side is only over 200,000, their leader is
My old rival, this person is very good at fighting. You must not take it lightly. Each of you must be very alert. In today's battle, you can only win and not lose. You must give me Shao Yan's
Chief, do you understand?"
"Understood!" the soldiers on the same ship and neighboring ships replied in unison.
The river gurgled down, and the densely packed warships sailed towards the other bank. For this battle, Jin Dingguo had prepared enough men, horses and ships, and he was obviously sure of victory. While he directed all the surrounding ships to move closer to the center, he also closely observed the movements on the other side of the river.
, However, seeing that the warships had arrived in the middle of the river, but there was no sign of any movement on the other side, at this moment, Fatty Jin suddenly remembered the words of the deputy general who had just been executed. He had fought with Shao Yan many times.
Letting the other party escape every time shows that this kid does have some extraordinary abilities. At this moment, he suddenly heard a violent explosion sound coming from the right side of his body.
"Boom——"
Jin Dingguo hurriedly turned sideways, only to see that the river in the northeast corner was full of thick smoke. The water splashed several meters high, and then gurgled down like a waterfall. Several Liang Kingdom warships were blown to pieces, everywhere.
They were all caught in a sea of fire. The soldiers on the boat were dead and injured, and most of them fell into the water. They beat the river with their hands desperately, shouting for help while struggling to save their lives.
I want to swim to other places, longing to swim to other warships
At this moment, dozens of heads suddenly appeared around their bodies. These people were all shirtless, with fierce looks on their faces, and the daggers in their hands were sharp, and they stabbed Liang Bing casually.
Go and stab each one accurately. The Liang soldiers were caught off guard. Even those who reacted faster could not escape the opponent's surprise attack. In an instant, all the soldiers who fell into the water were assassinated in the water, and their bodies were floating on the river. Soon
sink to the bottom of the river
The turbid river surface was dyed red in the blink of an eye, and the nearby boats quickly came closer. The soldiers on the boat raised their spears and stabbed at the 'water ghosts'. Those 'water ghosts' had obviously gone through special processes.
training, when the soldiers thrust their spears, they immediately dived into the water and disappeared.
"Where did these people come from?" Seeing this scene, Jin Dingguo was stunned. The generals around him were frightened by his violence. None of them dared to speak, but shook their heads in answer. Jin Dingguo's face was full of anger, and he immediately
He ordered all the ships to speed up and move towards the other side of the river. He was eager to end this war as soon as possible.
The mighty troops rowed straight forward. After a while, Jin Dingguo suddenly heard the same explosion sound again in the northwest. Then more than a dozen warships were blown up, and the soldiers who fell into the water were also assassinated in the water. He couldn't help but
Knowing what kind of weapons the other party used, and not knowing how many such ambushes there would be on the road ahead, he was anxious and angry, and immediately ordered all the archers to aim at the river and fire randomly. After a period of time, water floated on the river.
The corpses of more than a dozen "water ghosts" dressed in black were found.
Jin Dingguo thought that the obstacle had been removed and couldn't help but feel overjoyed. However, just when he was feeling proud, he suddenly heard that soldiers from the rear came to report that many Donglin warships had been found in the rear. Jin Dingguo was furious and immediately sent out more than a hundred warships.
To deal with it, he continued to lead the large troops to the other side.
It was noon, the fiery red sun was rising high, and hundreds of thousands of troops were occupying the entire Grand Canal. Although they suffered many ambushes along the way, their losses were very limited. However, after such a
After the tossing, the living Liang soldiers on the boat were inevitably cast into a psychological shadow. As they moved forward, their eyes looked very carefully at the bottomless river water, for fear that a black water ghost would suddenly appear.
Come
Under Jin Dingguo's constant urging, the warship quickly swam across the center of the river and was about to reach the other side of the river. At this moment, a strong light suddenly flashed across the other bank, as if many people were lining up, holding hands.
The searchlights were all shining together, and it was extremely dazzling. Liang Bing on the boat immediately closed his eyes, or lowered his head to his chest. In short, he did not dare to look straight ahead. At the same time, he could only hear the sound of killing from the other side, and the sound of arrows and bows.
It shot over like a meteor, and many Liang soldiers fell to the ground and died on the spot because they had no time to dodge.
When Jin Dingguo saw this situation, he couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to put their shields in front of their chests. After a while, the stray arrows on the shore were obviously becoming less and less. Jin Dingguo shouted and wanted to lead his men to march straight in, but he was frightened.
With the bright lights on the shore, the Liang soldiers did not dare to raise their heads at all, let alone launch a general attack.
In a rage, Jin Dingguo slashed the heads of the two generals around him with a sword. The soldiers were so frightened that they quickly landed on the shore. However, as soon as they regained their footing, meteor-like arrows were shot at them again. Fortunately,
They use shields as cover
"rush--"
There is a pavilion on the hillside not far from the shore, which used to be used by Donglin Kingdom sentries. Today, Shao Yan is wearing a white shirt, standing majestically on it, accompanied by Bai Ruxue, Xiang
When Hongyu and Zhang Baihu saw that the enemy had entered the ambush circle, they immediately made a full-scale siege gesture.
Zhang Huaide and Chang Yixiao heard the news, and each led thousands of soldiers to attack the general. Liang soldiers raised their guns to resist, but their eyes couldn't stand the strong light. In this case, their movements seemed very slow, and even a slight hesitation would
The heads of the Donglin soldiers who were rushed up were beheaded. Zhang Huaide was able to kill them vigorously. Chang Yixiao led his men around the enemy's back and cut off all the ropes tied to the enemy's ship on the shore. In this way, not only was the enemy on the shore cut off.
The route of retreat also cuts off the way for those soldiers who will not have time to go ashore in the future.
Jin Dingguo was anxious and angry. It was impossible to say that he was not afraid at all under this situation. Seeing that his way back was cut off, he had no choice but to wave his weapons and give it a go. He did not believe that his hundreds of thousands of troops could still survive.
Can't deal with these thousands of people
Although the number of Donglin soldiers was small, they were all extremely brave. Although there were not many brave men among the Liang soldiers, most of them had the mentality of underestimating the enemy. In addition, they were once blinded by the light. Therefore, their combat effectiveness was greatly weakened and they could not
After a while, corpses were everywhere, and the screams continued.
Jin Dingguo realized that in order to defeat the opponent, he must first destroy these damn lights, so he led a column of guards to find the source of the lights.
"Brother Shao Yan, what should we do if they find out?" Xiang Hongyu asked worriedly.
Shao Yan shook his head lightly: "It's too late."
Sure enough, just as Jin Dingguo and others were searching all the way, they suddenly heard explosions everywhere on the river. The entire river was filled with smoke and fighting continued. Hundreds of warships were damaged to varying degrees, and the soldiers on board were killed or injured.
Countless pieces of ship planks, ship oars, corpses, and battle flags were scattered on the blood-stained river.
Not far from the enemy ship, a group of towering warships suddenly appeared. The huge flag had two bright characters "Donglin" written on it. On the leading warship stood two generals, one of whom was the governor.
Wang Xin and Zuo Changsheng who had just joined Donglin Kingdom
Faced with the approaching Donglin fleet, the Liang soldiers on the ship threw away their weapons one after another. They were not afraid of face-to-face combat with the enemy, but were afraid of the firearms in the opponent's hands. Once this thing was lit on fire,
Half the ship will be blown up, so they won't risk their lives to make this joke
When Jin Dingguo saw this scene, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He picked up the weapon in his hand and slashed at the Donglin soldier who passed by him. This guy might have been anxious to kill him. Every time he slashed, either his head would fly out or his head would fly out.
The waist is divided into two parts, or even cut in half from the middle
The men behind him were frightened when they saw their companions captured or surrendered, killed or injured, and did not dare to take risks easily. Therefore, Jin Dingguo was the only one left in the battle between the two armies. However, this guy just died
He used brute strength throughout his life and refused to give in until death. In the end, he was surrounded by Zhang Huaide, Chang Yixiao, Wang Xin and Zuo Changsheng who landed ashore.
Shao Yan waved his hand and signaled them to retreat. At this point, the battle could be said to have been a complete victory. He just wanted to personally bring this war to a successful end. Looking at Jin Dingguo, who was full of arrogance in the past, and now he has
In such a state of embarrassment, he sighed in his heart and said casually: "Fat Jin, now that things have come to this, do you think you still need to fight to the end?"
At this moment, Jin Dingguo was like a mad dog being watched. He looked around with cold eyes and snorted: "Shao Yan, I, Jin Dingguo, suffered a disastrous defeat today. It was not because I was defeated at your hands, but because I was defeated by myself. If it weren't for me,
If you underestimate the enemy too much and are arrogant, you can't defeat me."
At this time, Shao Yan didn't want to argue with him. When Jin Dingguo saw that he didn't speak, he said with a somewhat proud attitude: "Shao Yan, do you think that if you destroy me, you, the emperor, will be able to sit in peace? Huh, you are wrong.
, not long after, there will be a bigger opponent waiting for you, and you won't be able to live for a few more years."
"When soldiers come to block it, when water comes and soil comes, this is the answer I give you. Also, I hope you can understand that your end today is your own fault and you cannot blame others." After that, Shao Yan took the green dragon from Bai Ruxue's hand.
Baojian said: "Come, let me give you a ride personally."
There was a trace of contempt on Jin Dingguo's face. Perhaps in his opinion, Shao Yan's martial arts was no match for him, so he rushed over with a sharp blade without hesitation, but unfortunately he couldn't get close to Shao Yan yet.
Yan's body felt a chill in his heart. Shao Yan was already standing behind him, and the green dragon sword pierced his heart.
…
When Jin Dingguo died, it was like a group of dragons without a leader. Liang's army collapsed. Except for the more than 20,000 people who died in the war, the other more than 500,000 people abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Shao Yan handed over the disposal of these people to Zheng Kai. After all,
They were their masters, Zheng Kai was moved by them, and the soldiers naturally understood them, and finally expressed their willingness to join Donglin's banner
Shao Yan would never show mercy to those stubborn disciples, and would drag them all out and behead them.
After this battle, Donglin Kingdom suddenly grew stronger, its military strength increased from 500,000 to more than 1.1 million, and its territory quadrupled from before.
The two countries have become one, and the people no longer have to suffer from the war. Everyone is very happy. Shao Yan is preparing to return to the palace in two days. However, on this night, as he was just lying on the bed preparing to go to bed, he suddenly heard someone knocking hurriedly outside.
Holding the door to the room, he quickly got up from the bed, opened the door and saw Zheng Yuegui standing at the door with an anxious look on his face, and there was another figure beside him. Upon closer inspection, it was her personal maid Xiaoxiang.
Strange, why is this girl here? Isn't she in the palace? When Shao Yan was confused, Xiao Xiang didn't bother to salute, and knelt down with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for Sister Mu Ying."
Shao Yan asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
"She——, she——" Xiaoxiang suddenly burst into tears.
Zheng Yuegui's face was filled with frustration, her eyes were filled with desire, and she said: "Your Majesty, Sister Mu Ying is no longer here."
