Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    No one can describe the tragic situation on the river. The too densely packed ships have almost no maneuverability under the restrictions of the turbulent river current. They have become moving targets that will not move.  ¡î¡úThe reef formed by the shipwreck zone is like an invisible wall on the water, controlling the warships trying to rush downstream on the water, forcing them to accept the baptism of cannonballs falling from the sky.  Although the Zhankou General Cannon has a limited lifespan, its power cannot be underestimated during the dozens of rounds it can fire. What is even more terrifying is the eighty rocket launchers. The arsenal is working overtime to produce this big killer. Although Song  Nan was heavily in debt, but their performance at this moment made Song Nan finally feel that the effort was worth it.  A large amount of thick smoke burst out from the muzzle of the flames, covering the entire Meizi Island in a black cloud. It was like the magic of a monster hidden in the dark clouds, pulling hundreds of boats on the river into the abyss of death.  among.  In just a matter of seconds, nearly two hundred warships were hit by bullets and caught fire. Dozens of ships began to burn and sink. The fiery red river surface was filled with floating debris and the heads of rebel soldiers emerging from the water. The cold and rapid river water  They were washed ruthlessly downstream, and were submerged in the rolling river together with various floating objects.  Zhu Chenhao stared at all this with his mouth open. His flagship was on the water behind him. He was lucky enough to escape the baptism of death, but the tragic scene in front of him made him unable to believe his eyes.  What about blocking the river mouth that was promised?  What about unimpeded access as promised?  How did it end up in this situation?  "Liu Yangzheng, Liu Yangzheng!" Zhu Chenhao shouted sharply.  Liu Yangzheng looked pale and knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, I am here, I am here." "What's going on? What's going on? Who can give me an explanation?" "Your Majesty Song Nan is treacherous and cunning.  It seems that they took advantage of the false news sent by our intelligence officers. They set up an ambush on Meizi Island. There must be artificial reefs under the water to block the passage of ships. "Why didn't you think of this?"  ?" Zhu Chenhao yelled with red eyes and a murderous look on his face.  Liu Yang was shouting hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Rong Chen will think of a way. Rong Chen will think of a way." "Hurry up and think of a countermeasure, otherwise my troops will be completely destroyed." Zhu Chenhao stamped his feet and wailed.  Liu Yangzheng's eyes rolled around, sweat rolled down his face, and he murmured to himself. Zhu Chenhao shouted again: "Have you figured it out? Do you have to wait until all the warships are sunk?"  "Idiot." Liu Yangzheng was startled and suddenly shouted: "Please order all the warships to attack Jiangxin Island immediately. Song Nan ambushes here and all the firearms are gathered here. His main force must also be on Jiangxin Island; we want to capture it."  Nanjing wants to annihilate Song Nan's soldiers and horses, but it is just a matter of moving the battle in Nanjing city to this island. As long as the island is captured and the officers and soldiers on the island are annihilated, even if Song Nan is not on the island, Nanjing city will be in the bag.  "Yes, yes, it's like pushing Pai Gow. We lose a little first, but in the end, the emperor will win all the money when he grabs the Supreme Treasure."  "Push your mother's Pai Gow, you are ignorant and unskilled." Zhu Chenhao, who always prided himself on being noble and elegant, raised his foot and kicked Wang Lun in the cheek, and cursed angrily: "We haven't sent the order to attack Jiangxinzhou yet. We can't take Jiangxinzhou.  Throw you all into the river. "The initial panic and panic made the rebels a little confused. After paying the price of nearly a hundred ships and tens of thousands of soldiers, they finally got the order from the flagship.  They were eager to get rid of the situation of being passively beaten on the river. After receiving the order to attack Meizizhou, they quickly began to organize themselves in an orderly manner.  Zhu Chenhao has worked hard for several years, and the results of secretly training water warfare soldiers and horses have also been reflected.  Hundreds of ships equipped with Folang machine cannons broke away from the panic and aimed their muzzles at the island. The muzzles began to spit out flames and began to bombard Jiangxin Island.  Hundreds of rounds of artillery shells exploded on Meizi Island, causing mud waves all over the sky. Broken rocks flew and fell in the air like meteor showers. Although the soldiers and horses on the island huddled under the rocks and fortifications, only one round  Hundreds of people were killed and injured in the shelling, which shows its power.  ¡°Furthermore, the Folang machine alphabet cannon fires extremely fast, and the Zhankou general cannon is much inferior to it. If it were not for being unable to aim accurately in the rapids, the position of the fort on the side of the island that exposed the target would have immediately turned into scorched earth.  "First attack warships equipped with cannons, rocket launchers, and general cannons for intensive bombardment." Song Nan shook off the dirt on his shoulders and ordered. There was a black and blue lump on his forehead, which was the fist-sized stone that had just fallen.  The hit left a mark on his forehead.  Zhang Ning gave the order in a hoarse voice. The rocket launchers turned their guns and stared at the river. As soon as a ship erupted into flames, dozens of shells were fired at it, leaving the warship riddled with holes.  .  But the other party obviously didn't care. They couldn't move anyway. They just tried their best to kill him before they were sunk.The bombs hit the island, and the rest was ignored.  While the two sides were fighting each other, Song Nan noticed something strange. Hundreds of warships behind him were slowly turning their bows, and with the help of the river current, they were approaching the island diagonally. Song Nan understood their intentions after a moment's thought.  , not only secretly praised the rebels for their quick response; in this situation, attacking Meizizhou was the best strategy, and if it were him, he would have issued this order immediately.  Song Nan naturally knew that this moment was unavoidable, and that a fight of blood and blood was always needed to determine the outcome of the battle. But before that, Song Nan had to do everything possible to eliminate some of the rebels and keep the number of troops on both sides balanced, otherwise it would be impossible.  It's hard to say victory.  The rebels now have at least more than 70,000 soldiers and horses. There are only 40,000 soldiers and horses on their own island. The remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses are on the downstream warships. This is the last defense system to prevent the artificial reef from failing; if it is captured,  Seventy or eighty thousand people made it to the island unscathed. It would be hard to tell who would win and who would lose in the war.  ¡°Archers are ready, gunners are ready to attack the enemy who lands on the island.¡± Song Nan quietly ordered.  Ma Ming, the admiral of the Shenshu Camp, Peng Yang, the admiral of the Second Foreign Army, and Jiao Zhengtai, the admiral of the Zhenwei Camp, and other generals all understood that the final moment of the decisive battle was coming. They were both looking forward to it and nervous. So many soldiers and horses gathered in this area less than three miles wide and long.  Fighting on a small island less than seven miles away, it must be a bloody battle with no way out. Being able to participate in this battle, I can't tell whether I should be lucky or sad.  Countless archers were bending their bows and setting arrows behind the fortifications. The arrows soaked in kerosene were burning brightly. The smell of kerosene was choking your nose, and the burning of the flame stung their faces. However, the soldiers ignored it and stared at the slowly approaching river.  of enemy ships.  The river surface a hundred steps away was already a shoal. The speed of the warships was getting slower and slower. The artillery fire from both sides was still roaring, but they were no longer the protagonists of the battlefield. When the rebel soldiers launched a charge to land on the island, dozens of people remained on the river.  A warship equipped with artillery also automatically stopped bombarding. They did not want to accidentally injure their troops.  The battlefield suddenly became quiet, and the roar of the river waves came to my ears again. The turbid river water slapped the stone walls and sand beside the island, making strange sounds.  At the beginning of the first hundred steps from the shore, the enemy ships had slowly stopped. Small boats fell from the warships into the river with a bang. Rebel soldiers climbed down from the rope ladders densely, climbed onto the boats and rowed hard to the edge of Meizi Island.  "Bang." A red fireworks bomb rose into the night sky, bursting into countless small and gorgeous flames in the sky. Soldiers on both sides looked up at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky. The moment the fireworks disappeared without a trace, a whistling sound broke through the sky.  , the buzzing sound of bow strings became the main theme, and countless flaming arrows were like rare meteor showers in the sky, and like a bridge made of flames, connecting the island and the ship.  Tens of thousands of rockets fell densely on the river, like countless stinging wild bees, piercing their sharp thorns into the flesh and blood. The small boats and large ships suddenly burst into flames. It was no longer known how many people were caught in this round of arrows.  Death; the rebel soldiers had dull expressions, hunched their heads and rowed desperately. People in front of and behind them were constantly shot by arrows and fell into the water, but these could not move their nerves at all.  They have become indifferent to life and death in their minds, and their only thought is to quickly land on the island and fight the enemy hand-to-hand. Although that may not give them a chance of survival, it is the only chance.  Thousands of small boats were densely packed and rushed towards the island in an attitude that ignored death. Many boats had become ghost ships with no living people on the way. Many lucky people escaped from the arrows, but after thirty steps  On the river beach within, they were greeted by the roar of firecrackers.  Countless rebel soldiers fell into the cold river water. The water near the river beach was very calm. The surging blood waves slowly lifted up their gradually stiffening bodies and rippled gently.  The living people may be lucky, but who can say that these dead people are unfortunate, because they finally got rid of this cruel world, finally got rid of the fear of death and the desire for life.  People who have lost everything are the most miserable, but in fact they are also the happiest, because they have nothing to lose. When they lose everything, it also means they get everything they want.
