Chapter 337 Reversal
Chapter 337 Reversal
The sudden reversal of the wind immediately caused the Xuanzhou warships to be chasing. When they were chasing, almost all the ships were sailing, fearing that the ship was full of speed. The wind direction suddenly reversed, from blowing from behind to blowing on the face. The sailors on the ship quickly lowered their sails, but in the galloping fast, sailing was not an easy task. They would accidentally wrap the ropes together and hang the sails in mid-air. They couldn't pull them. In addition, when the Xuanzhou army broke through the Huainan Army's front line, they lined up the fleet in the shape of spindles, and the front and rear were only one or two hull positions apart. The speed of each ship was different, and many of them collided. Suddenly, the dull collision sound of the ships, and the screams of the sailors and soldiers falling into the water intertwined into a mess.
"Hurry, untickle that damn rope. Damn, be careful, everyone will be finished when they hit me." Xu Du was hoarsely directing his hand to lower the sail. His face was covered in oil and sweat. He had long known where he had run away. Fortunately, he had just stopped the boat speed and did not squeeze into other ships. Otherwise, he was afraid that those people struggling and calling for help from the water not far away were his role models. Even so, under the oncoming wind, the maneuverability of the boat became very bad. You must set sail immediately and use oars to drive it to be flexible.
Xu Du was busy and suddenly heard a drum sound from the opposite side, followed by a shout of killing. He looked for the sound and saw the shadows of the Huainan Army under the faint moonlight. For a moment, he could not tell how many enemy ships saw the rocket oil bombs like raindrops shot over. The rocket oil bombs borrowed the wind and the momentum was even more three points higher. When they landed on the Xuanzhou Army's warship, a fire suddenly rushed up. Under the flames, countless figures jumped to the river to escape, and the situation was extremely miserable.
Seeing this, the sailor climbed onto the mast and untied the ropes that were wrapped around him were even more busy. He saw that he was walking around with the rope, and he was so angry that Xu Du was half-extinguished that he could not tolerate many people on the mast, otherwise he would have gone up in person. In a busy situation, a siege of the Huainan Army suddenly slid over from not far away and shot a rocket. The sailor on the mast happened to be a ready-made target, and was immediately shot dead in the air like a porcupine. The sailor was also burned seven or eight places on the sail, and it was about to burn down along the rope.
Suddenly, the sailors on the ship were in a mess and ran around the deck, just looking for a safe place to sit. As the wind increased, the shaking on the ship became more and more violent. Some soldiers on the ship were not good at water simply lay on the deck and vomited loudly.
Xu Du was also knocked over somersault by the boat board, and was dizzy. He hurriedly reached out to touch a wooden handle, grabbed a wooden handle, and touched it, but it was a long axe, which was used for the battle of the boarding war. He became quick and stole the axe, rushing to the mast, shouting loudly, slashing the mast while slashing, "Cut off the mast quickly, otherwise the fire will spread later, and no one will go back."
Everyone was panicking and had no master, and suddenly heard someone's orders, and they quickly took knives and axes and chopped them together. After a while, they cut the mast by about two-thirds. Xu Du quickly asked everyone to get out of the way, so he cut a few more axes hard. The mast finally couldn't bear it and fell slowly with a click, smashing a large gap in the fence on the side of the ship, and then fell into the water.
Seeing the fire mast falling into the water, everyone couldn't help but cheer in unison, and their eyes were very different at Xu Du, full of trust. Although the situation was already quite bad for the Xuanzhou Navy at this time, the morale of the soldiers on the ship was a little higher.
Xu Du dropped his axe and rushed to the bow of the ship to observe the situation for a while. He saw that the small and medium-sized warships in the front of the Xuanzhou Army were already in chaos. Many ships had been burned into pieces. The water was crowded with people, and Xuanzhou soldiers who were diving to survive. On the other hand, the Huainan Zhoushi took advantage of the sudden change in the wind and came back and caught the other party off guard. It was the time to pursue the victory. Xu Du looked at the back again. The large warship of the main force of the Xuanzhou Army was slowly pressing up. He immediately made a quick decision and shouted loudly: "Come on the rudder quickly, let's go around the side. The ship behind has already come up. It's useless for us to get stuck in the middle. Let them deal with the Huainan Army."
After what happened just now, the soldiers and sailors on the boat had already trusted Xu Du very much. After hearing his order, they immediately turned around and drove to the side. The water surface was full of soldiers and sailors holding floating objects to survive. Seeing this scene, the soldiers and sailors on the boat couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and the speed of paddling in their hands was two or three points faster.
When the ship was rowing outside, there were many warships fighting between the two sides. Listening to the shouts of killing from not far away, looking at the scars on his ship, everyone suddenly collapsed on the ground, feeling like a different life. Xu Du felt that his right shoulder was so painful. When he pulled open his clothes, he saw that it was already a piece of black green. It seemed that he had been wiped by a heavy object just now and was injured. He was too nervous and didn't even notice it. He quickly asked someone else to check it out twice. Fortunately, he only scratched his skin and flesh, and never hurt his muscles.
At this time, the central army of the Xuanzhou Zhoushi had already been pressed up, especially the six or seven tower ships, which were even more powerful. The bow of their ship was already equipped with corners, and the poles on both sides were suddenly put down like woods. More than 100 kilograms of stone fell down with thick wooden poles, and immediately smashed everything they touched. Many Xuanzhou warships that had no time to leave the battlefield were also accidentally attacked and sank.
Seeing that the tower ships were so powerful, the subsequent Huainan warships had to move away from the wings, trying to avoid the opponent's edge and wait for an opportunity to siege them. However, there were already many wreckages of ships on the river surface, which were inconvenient to travel and avoid, and some of them were inconvenient to move and were sunk by the Xuanzhou army.
Seeing this, Xu Du quickly called the upper part of the ship to get up, turn the bow of the ship, protect his flanks, and prepare for the final decisive battle. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark. When he looked up, a dark cloud floated over, covering the bright moon. Suddenly, the river was above the river, and the sight was only five or six feet away, and the two armies were in chaos.
Qin Fei stood at the bow of the ship and kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead. He could see clearly the power of the Xuanzhou Naval Tower ship. Although he took advantage of the help of God, the wind direction suddenly changed and he could not rub his hands. However, after all, the difference in absolute strength between the two sides was too big and could not be saved. The best choice now is to take advantage of the dark clouds and cover the moon. Both sides could not see clearly. It would be better to quickly withdraw. Just as they were about to order their subordinates to make the entire army retreat, they saw a ball of fire rising from the river in the distance. Then the fire could vaguely see the tall ship shadow, which was the flagship of the Xuanzhou Naval Division.
Qin Fei could hardly believe his eyes, and rubbed his eyes before confirming it clearly. After seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but say ecstaticly: "The king's hall is really a mediocre person. He actually raised fire at night. Wouldn't he begging for death?" He quickly summoned his personal soldiers and ordered: "The fire is the enemy's flagship, and the fire is the enemy's flagship, or the head of the king's hall will be a bounty of 100 taels and a thousand satin pieces."
It turned out that after the King's Altar defeated the Huainan Navy, he saw that the sky was dark and was afraid that his ship would be big, drifted, and sank the reef, so he ordered his subordinates to light a torch so that his soldiers could see the big flag, so that those soldiers with weak fighting spirit would escape in the night battle because they did not see their flag. However, they did not expect that their target would be exposed. After a while, they saw raindrops flying from the night sky. The soldiers fell to the ground. When they were about to fight back, they could not see the target clearly. As soon as the King's Altar was hit on his shoulder, they fell to the ground. The personal soldiers on the side quickly helped them into the cabin.
Seeing the commander being injured, the ship was in chaos. Six or seven small Huainan boats took the opportunity to lean on, and the ants came on, and the sound of killing sounds suddenly appeared on the flagship. The Xuanzhou warships around him looked from afar. Under the fire, the brigade of enemy soldiers had already attacked their own warships. There were no more enemy troops in the darkness, and the morale of the army was suddenly in chaos. Among the Xuanzhou soldiers, there were already a large number of old Huainan troops, who were held hostage by Tian Wei, so they had to raise troops to cause chaos. Once the situation was unfavorable, some people immediately abandoned their armor and surrendered, and even turned around and fled to Wuhu. The troops were defeated like a mountain, and soon the huge Xuanzhou navy collapsed.
Wang Tan was lying in the cabin and was wrapping his wounds. He heard the sound of killing outside getting louder and louder. He was urging the doctor to move faster, but with a "bang", the cabin door had been knocked open, and a burst of shouts of killing suddenly poured in. Wang Jian wore a helmet and armor, his face turned pale and blood. He held a horizontal knife in his hand, followed by four or five confidants, shouting: "The more and more thieves in Huainan are killed, brothers can't stand it. General, please go on the boat with me."
"What?" Wang Tan was surprised. He did not expect that the situation would reverse so soon. He rushed out of the cabin door and looked out. He saw that there were six or seven Huainan warships on both sides of the ship. The enemy soldiers were swarming up. Although his soldiers were still fighting to the death, they were outnumbered and failure was only a matter of time. At this time, the dark clouds covering the bright moon finally floated past. With the moonlight, you can see that many Xuanzhou warships had turned around and fled. The rest were either abandoned and surrendered, or were besieged by the enemy. Obviously, the situation was irreversible.
"Damn it, if I didn't order the fire to raise just now, I would be very regretful!" Wang Tan sighed. Wang Jian, who was standing beside him, quickly persuaded: "General, Tian Shuai still has a large number of troops in Wuhu. Victory and defeat are common among military strategists. As long as we escape back, we have a chance to come again, let's go quickly."
"Forget it." Wang Tan glanced at the warship on the ship for a while, suddenly grabbed a sword from his personal soldiers, turned around and ran to the cabin beside him, which made Wang Jian confused, and hurried forward to stop him and said, "General, what are you doing? Time is not waiting for anyone!"
Wang Tan pointed to the door of the cabin not far away and said hatefully: "Today's defeat was given by Li Shenfu. His little beast is there. I want to look at his head to relieve the hatred for the dead brothers."
