Chapter 173: Desperate Situation (Part 1)

July 7, 16th year

On the forecastle of Wang Hongyi's flagship, he looked at the Wu Chu camp in the distance with a thousand-mile mirror.

The navy of Wu and Chu, with a ship of three meters high, one color of elixir paint, three floors above, middle and lower, all rooms, with monuments and sails standing in front of the river, and warships covering the river, which is indeed very ***.

At this time, Zhang Youzhi, Zhang Fanzhi, Shi Qian and others were surrounded.

Zhuang Guang and Shi Qian were from the Secret Palace. When Duke Shu was traveling, they took turns serving him. Today it was Shi Qian's turn.

A large number of personal soldiers stood on the lower floor and on the deck. Although there were many people, except for the command orders, they were silent and filled with a sense of awe-inspiring condensation.

It can be seen from this that Wang Hongyi's luck is becoming more and more concentrated.

After watching for a while, Wang Hongyi put down his telescope and said to everyone: "The enemy ship is connected to the head and tail, the ship is strong and has a strong momentum, but it is slow to advance and retreat, and can be attacked by fire."

"Lord, you need to have a good wind. You can choose a warrior to sail a boat. The ship is filled with gunpowder and firewood, approach the enemy ship, and set fire with the wind. However, since the Wu army's iron lock has claws, it can be grabbed or cut, I am afraid it cannot be connected."

Starting from July 5th, there were simple wooden shields on Wu's ship. The soldiers on the ship hid behind, and the muskets were hard to resist like the first day. Moreover, the Wu ship was connected by chains, but they could be caught and released at will. It was a dream to burn it with a fire.

"The war is difficult, it depends on the soldiers' lives." Wang Hongyi said, ordering: "Let the army move forward, and fight again today!"

"promise!"

With an order, hundreds of warships were carried by 20,000 soldiers, sailing up the river.

At this time, it was morning, and the mountains on both sides could be seen faintly. I saw dark clouds in the sky, the water on the river surging, the river water was rushing very fast, and big trees were growing on the cliff in the distance.

Just then, suddenly, someone shouted: "Lord, look?"

Wang Hongyi was stunned and looked into the distance. He saw the waves on the river, but saw a giant snake rising and falling on the river.

The ancients valued the most omen, and people couldn't help panic.

When Wang Hongyi saw this, he held the railing and looked at it. He felt that the snake was coming, which was not a good deed. When he saw it, he felt his eyebrows tightened and the cauldron swayed a little.

But this thought was beyond words, but suddenly smiled and said, "Just about to fight, a snake came from the Nanfu River and was alone to look at it. Isn't this the transformation of the dragon? If the heavens do not leave me, I will add the fortune of the dragon. If this battle is won, there will be a temple."

Zhang Youzhi immediately responded: "This is a good omen given to the lord, please inform the entire army."

Wang Hongyi nodded, so after a moment, it immediately spread to the entire army. At this time, it stopped against the wind and lived in a smooth wind, so the entire army cheered.

Wang Hongyi glanced around and said that high morale was a good thing, but he still said in a stern manner: "The Wu and Chu coalition forces have large ships, and the number of people is above me. Among them, there are many water generals who have been circulating on the river for many years. Our army must fight to the death before they can win."

He turned around and said to Zhang Fanzhi: "I will personally supervise the navy in this battle, and you will send out the specific dispatch!"

Zhang Fanzhi bowed and replied: "I dare not let the lord down on his heavy trust."

Wang Hongyi nodded, but felt a little uneasy. Looking at it with an uneasy mood, I saw the distant scenery of the river and the sky was the same. The strong wind made the flags rush. Wang Hongyi suddenly laughed to the sky and stopped for a long time before saying, "Go to fight!"

Suddenly, the war drums roared, and the sound shook the river.

The seven squadrons, except for one of the flagships, attacked immediately.

At this time, walking with the wind, the Wu and Yue coalition forces were at a disadvantage. Six fleets attacked and moved flexibly. In particular, Lu Suhai personally led seventeen fleets to attack bravely. Wherever they went, they were unstoppable. Suddenly, the fleet caught fire and flames rushed, chasing the naval lineup of the Wu and Chu coalition forces.

During the fierce battle between the two sides, Lu Suhai's ship also caught fire. Lu Suhai stood on the bow of the ship. Although the arrows and rocks flew around, he was unmoved. He just scolded the soldiers to put out the fire, and ordered the sailors below to continue paddling forward, and then fired the muskets, killing them so that the clouds and water swelled and blood stained the lake.

The Wu army's naval ships were more than capable of defeating the Shu army in terms of strength.

However, the Shu army won many battles, and the spirit of war was condensed in its bones, and it also had a "non-commissioned officer system". The sergeant Huo Chang went to study and practice martial arts. Seeing this situation, not only did not waver, but instead developed a determination, but also had muskets and hand fire thunder, and decided to fight with the enemy.

Both armies have their own strengths and fight to the death.

From morning to afternoon, the explosions and the shouts of killing were filled with tragic shouts. The entire river was filled with the entire river, as we looked at it, and there were still dead ships floating and unsinkable, and the river waters were red for several miles.

With the battle, with muskets and hand fire thunder, the Shu army actually had a vague advantage.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon. After all, the Wu and Chu coalition forces were numerous. Even if they were in confrontation with the Shu army, they still had the strength to send a fleet to find Wang Hongyi's flagship.

"Lord, the battle is fierce, please go back to the city, and you can command me here." Several times, the Wu ship rushed to Wang Hongyi's flagship, and the flying arrows fell on the boat. Seeing this, Zhang Youzhi and Zhang Fanzhi couldn't help but change their color. They advised Wang Hongyi not to take risks in person, but to retreat to the distance to watch the battle.

In fact, Wang Hongyi was not willing to take a look at the locust with his own arrows, but at this time he calmed down and looked up at the sky.

As the battle was fierce, three clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, one was red, one with a green dragon, and the other with a red air. The dragon inside already had a light purple air, and the other was a white and red air. There was a snake inside. Two clouds in the southeast joined forces to attack the red air green dragon. The two sides confronted each other, fighting each other, and blood was everywhere.

Wang Hongyi couldn't help but change his color. This situation was really hard to describe. He knew that his luck was not enough and he could never retreat at this time. Once he retreated, it would be a disaster immediately.

Wang Hongyi immediately refused: "The soldiers of the orphan are fighting to the death. The orphan are not allowed to retreat. They send orders to the troops. Before dusk, the orphan will never retreat!"

As soon as he said this, a strong lightning suddenly appeared in the southeast, shaped like a golden snake, shooting down from the sky, cutting through the sky, followed by a thunderclap, and the sky and the earth shook!

In an instant, the sky and the earth were dark, the sand and stones flew, and the sky and the earth changed color!

At this moment, a red light suddenly appeared from the southern dragon energy, red as blood, and the light was burning, like a tiger's roar, like a dragon's roar, and it was coming through the sky and hitting.

This was the second time. Wang Hongyi roared angrily, and the cauldron was running on his head, filled with green light.

"Boom!" A sensation of dizziness, Wang Hongyi's tripod was swayed by the red light.

The force was so fierce that he frowned.

What's even more terrifying is that with the lightning and red light, the sky quickly turned into dark clouds. When Wang Hongyi noticed this situation, his face suddenly changed.

It is July now, and there are thunderstorms. Although the gunpowder is actually inside the ship, the thunderstorm will not be wet, but in the thunderstorm, the firearms cannot be used at present.

"Lord, the thunderstorm is coming, it's not good for me, so please take it down!" Zhang Youzhi's face changed drastically when he saw this.

Wang Hongyi hesitated for a moment and finally issued an order: "It is approaching dusk and there is another thunderstorm, which will cause a truce today."

After hearing this, Zhang Youzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his subordinates to immediately convey the order, and the main ship slowly retreated.

Suddenly, dozens of ship shadows appeared in the direction of the east of the Yangtze River, which were the Wu army's warships.

"What's going on? An enemy ship appeared again?" Zhang Fanzhi said angrily, but he was busy but not in a mess and ordered the fleet to retreat slowly, but at this moment, the giant ship shook violently.

Wang Hongyi sat upright on the high building and watched, and at this time, he almost fell down.

"What's going on?" Zhang Fanzhi asked angrily.

"No, the boat is shallow." After a moment, someone reported it below.

After hearing this, Wang Hongyi was silent for a moment and said coldly: "Send the order, the whole ship is preparing, we have a hard battle."

Suddenly, the closed cabin opened wide, and a large number of Shu troops rushed out. These were all personal soldiers of the Duke of Shu. They were still wearing heavy armor on the ship, preparing for a war.

At this time, there was a thunder in the sky and the rain slammed down. In just a moment, between the sky and the earth, the white flowers were all covered with water, and it was like a world of rain. From a distance, the boat tower was vague.

The rain hit the boat, splashing a layer of white rain fog. In an instant, a thunderbolt was deafening.

Even at this moment, reports were constantly flowing from the boat building and the deck.

"It is Ding Jie who is coming to attack the enemy!"

"At this time, the firearm cannot be used, only fighting with a knife, and the governor has ordered a war."

At this time, Ding Jie stared at the big shot.

Originally, his fleet had only fifteen warships, and Wang Hongyi had twenty-one on him, and the Shu ship had firearms, so he was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage. But at this time, it was completely different. Shu had lost its greatest support.

The news just now made him stunned, and then he laughed to the sky: "It's the Lord of Shu's warship. It's raining down from the sky, and it's stranded again. This is the heaven's death to kill you! I, Ding Jie, will be on the will of heaven today, cut off your head and make great achievements in this world!"

As he said that, he ordered: "The whole ship attacked the Shu army's large ship!"

Ding Jie's fleet rushed forward, and at this time, the Shu army also tried hard to intercept it, but perhaps it was God's help. Ding Jie's flagship broke through many blocks and bumped into Wang Hongyi's flagship.

With a "boom", Ding Jie shouted: "Cum!"

Accompanied by the report, the sharp sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, only the sound of "puff puff" was heard. Although the crossbow bow would get damp in the rain and could not be used, it was still possible to use it once or twice. How could you care about it at this time?

As long as you kill Wang Hongyi, let alone waste some crossbows, you will waste thousands of thousands, and the King of Wu will not blame him.

When he saw the Shu ship being shot, even though there were heavy armor and paper armor, screams suddenly echoed one after another. Seeing this situation, the soldiers on the Wu ship were immediately excited.

After Ding Jie finished shooting once, he saw the surrounding Shu ships coming desperately. He didn't dare to hesitate. He wore heavy armor and roared angrily: "Kill, kill with me. As long as you kill the king's thief, the world will be peaceful, and the king will not be stingy with the reward!"

"Kill me, kill you and win your wife and son!"

A large number of Wu troops were immediately inspired. They looked red and rushed up along the strings of the two ships, and then had a bloody battle with the Shu army.
