Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 1839: Naval Warfare Begins
Watching Zhang Shijie take people back to sea, I was a little depressed.
Finally, this is the way to go...
The Battle of the Cliff Mountains was actually the Battle of the Cliff Mountains. It was destined to end when the Song army retreated to the sea and connected all the ships.
Yeah, we're doomed to no retreat at sea, and if it's on land, we can still break through, and I can kill a bloody path, even with a ghost, but then what?
Outside the cliff gate are Yuan troops, even if they break out of the perimeter, they are dead.
A time of pessimism almost drowned me. First, I really didn't want the Song army to lose the war. Second, if I hadn't changed my history, 200,000 Song troops would still be buried in the sea, and their grievances wouldn't dissipate, so what should I do?
If the mission fails, will I be able to get out as a stranger from the outside world, and how will I resolve their grievances when I get out?
The problems kept me breathless, and when I thought I might never be able to go back, I would become one of the 200,000 sailors, and I felt like I couldn't breathe.
I sat on the bow, and the drain made me unresponsive, and my heart was empty. In fact, it was a war that was doomed to lose from the beginning, and even if I did everything I could, I still couldn't resist the wheels of history.
“Mr. Zhang, would you like to take a break?” A deputy general came over, and he looked at me full of awe, awe that I had dragged them with me for many days, awe of the shadow spirit I had summoned before.
I shook my head with a smile. I guess I'm a monster in their eyes now, huh?
But there is no way, as long as there is a slight chance that history will change, I will persevere, or when this war is over, I will fail.
Fortunately, Zhang Shijie pressed them, and it was indeed the presence of the spirits that gave them time to breathe, and they didn't say anything. Otherwise, strangers like me would probably be dead in this day and age.
Finally, everyone retreated to the sea, and the dragon boat of the little emperor was surrounded in the middle, with Prime Minister Lu Xiufu beside him.
I looked at the dragon boat, and there was a big, small, two figure standing there, I guess it was them, right?
I no longer know what to say, to this day I have no hope, this war came down, summoned the Yin spirits consumed seven, seven, eight, even my own spiritual temper has lost a lot, in a short time can no longer do a wider array of methods.
“Mr. Zhang.” Zhang Shijie, who arranged everything, walked over.
He smiled at me: “Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, we won't give up even when we get to the last step. ”
“What if we lose?” I looked at him.
With his hands behind his back, he looked at the sea for a long time and didn't speak until I thought he couldn't speak. He turned to me and said, “So what? Someone in this life deserves to know. ”
Watching him and the many soldiers standing on the boat dying, for a moment I didn't know what to say, and I couldn't figure out how these people were going to do that. In the past, when I read history books about these heroes who died for national justice, I admired them. There was a concept in my mind that was vague, but it was more of a direct shock than this.
“Well, I see.” I nodded my head and my heart was clear, and I came here to give them hope, not to reverse the war.
Thinking about it, I seriously ask Zhang Shijie, if they lose, what is their only hope?
Zhang Shijie silenced for a moment and turned his head towards the dragon boat. I nodded suddenly. If I could, I would definitely help them achieve it.
We were forced to come aboard, but the other side actually suffered a lot, so they didn't chase us for a while, which gave us a chance to breathe.
After a short time at the bow, I slowly entered the cabin, lying in a simple bed listening to the sound of the sea water, and I fell asleep.
To be honest, I haven't slept so well in a long time since the battlefield. After all, those real scenes, and the pressure on my heart, made me uncomfortable. But today I don't know if it's because I talked to Zhang Shijie. Those pressures suddenly let go, and the difficulty is naturally stronger.
I slept until the next morning, or the deputy called me in the future, and I woke up and saw the deputy roaring in my heart, asking him if something was wrong?
He shook his head with a smile and said no, there had been scouting, and the other party was now resting, and there should be no more fighting for a short time.
I nodded, okay, at least the spirits worked, otherwise I was really depressed.
After three days of slow passage, there was no movement from the big man who raped Zhang Hongfan.
I stayed with Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu to discuss what to do next.
Zhang Shijie was able to see it. He told me that if I reached the end of the period, all I had to do was protect the little emperor. As for Lu Xiufu, he was with me naturally, because the little emperor trusted him the most.
Lu Xiufu looked at Zhang Shijie worried and asked him what to do? We're all gone. He can't stand it alone.
Zhang Shijie patted us on the shoulder and smiled: “This is just the worst plan, and that's all we can do now. ”
Zhang Hongfan did not give us more rest time, and he attacked again on the night we agreed.
The deputy looked at me pale and said: "Mr. Zhang, they are using fire! ”
I was pale, and now our boats are connected, and if they push fire at us through the wind, we can't escape at all. Although I knew when arranging the boat that it was not good to be connected, there was no ocean here, and if it wasn't, we wouldn't even have a chance to resist once the boat was broken up, so I didn't say anything.
I didn't expect Zhang Hongfan to choose fire attack. Grandma's dog traitor is addicted to fire attack?
“How's the wind today?” I hurried to ask the deputy general.
The lieutenant looked at the sky and then looked delighted: "Fine, it's the western wind. ”
I nodded, we are in the east, only the fire attack of Dongfeng Zhang Hongfan will work. In peace with my heart, I remembered that when Zhang Shijie retreated to the sea, Zhang Hongfan also used fire, but did not succeed.
I'm relieved, I'm sure this is the one recorded in history.
I hurried to the bow so that people didn't have to panic. Zhang Shijie was already there. He calmly commanded the generals to set up a battle position. Looks like he should also know that the fire attack didn't work.
However, I did not see Lu Xiufu. I think he is already with the Emperor.
“Mr. Zhang, are you good at naval warfare?” Zhang Shijie saw my eyes shine.
I can't help laughing. I'm not even good at land warfare, okay? If it hadn't been for the duck and the Yin Spirit, I would have been out of the first round.
Zhang Shijie guessed my reaction, and he sighed: “If Mr. Zhang is not good at it, or avoids it in the back, if it is... if he can help with those things, please don't be stingy. ”
Those things he said were supposed to be spirits, but I can't use the Gathering Spirit Array anymore in my condition, but I had to deal with them the way he looked.
Seeing that Zhang Shijie handled it properly, I didn't stay in front of him either. Instead, I stepped back into the cabin and stared at the Yongling Ring.
There are countless spirits in the rings that I have subjugated, but they will not necessarily follow my command completely, not to mention that I am injured today by the use of the Great Battle, and no one can predict the consequences of forcible summons.
Wait a minute! I thought silently that after all, the Song Army would be fine in this conflict. If there were another time, I would have to try.
It is true that the conflict lasted more than half an hour before the Yuan troops withdrew, but they were stationed directly on the shore, and they should have been ready for a naval battle by the looks of it, because they were already packing. Naturally they will not retreat at this time, so the only possibility is that they are preparing to board the ship.
I immediately found Zhang Shijie and speculated, and he nodded: "Well, looking at them, a lot of boats should be here in two days. ”
Faster than Zhang Shijie said, but half a day later, a fleet of dozens of ships arrived along the coast. Look, the equipment is definitely above the Song army.
Zhang Hongfan boarded the main ship, and the marines next to him waved two flags in the air.
I didn't understand what it meant, but Zhang Shijie smiled coldly: "You want to surrender to General Ben? ”
It turns out that Zhang Hongfan was also allowed to surrender Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang and others in history, but they didn't have a single agreement. They preferred to die, which is one of the reasons why this war feels so harsh for future generations.
The situation is getting worse and worse. The soldiers' eyes are red, but they still refuse to lose. Zhang Shijie would rather die than surrender. At once, the morale of the sergeant has risen!
I looked at Zhang Hongfan across the street. He swallowed a fly in his heart. If he had been commander of the Yuan Army, he would have fallen. But he was a Song. He became a dog traitor in the Yuan army in times of national crisis. I felt uncomfortable when I saw him.
Zhang Shijie sees clearly. Although he despises Zhang Hongfan, he will not waste too much emotion on him. He will only tell us to seriously oppose the enemy.
“Tonight they should attack and prepare the generals.” Zhang Shijie commanded in cold voice.
I asked him if Zhang Hongfan would make a big move. He glanced at me with surprise and then explained that the other fleet had just arrived, and even for the morale of the soldiers, they would have a powerful attack tonight.
When I heard his explanation, I understood why he looked at me like that, because it was supposed to be the most basic thing in the military code, but I didn't. I laughed awkwardly, glad he didn't mind either, just going down and getting ready.
On the other hand, I touched the Eternal Spirit Ring again. I think I'll have to use it tonight...
