Chapter 758
Around the secret camp of Mahan in the Turtle Island woodland, a large number of Liang army guns and shield soldiers and Viking sailors rushed to the camp, but did not directly launch an attack. Some soldiers set up portable crossbows. Fireballs rising from the sky and rockets flying through the sky illuminated the scene. Countless javelins and heavy arrows shot into the camp, knocking down a large number of Mahan soldiers. The screams and wailings from the camp were heard.
Half a moment later, Xu Rong, holding a spear, rushed to the front of the camp. He looked at the camp for a while and ordered: "This camp cannot accommodate too many troops. It should not be the main force of Mahan. We don't have to wait for the rest of the troops to arrive, we will kill the generals directly!"
After saying that, he rushed into the Mahan camp with his gun, and the rest of the soldiers followed closely and rushed into the Mahan camp. At this time, the Mahan soldiers were already in chaos because the main general had already escaped, and the camp was bombarded by Liang's crossbows, javelins, and heavy arrows. The morale of the army had already been in chaos. When a large number of Liang soldiers rushed into the camp, they collapsed.
These Mahan soldiers spread their legs and fled. The Liang army chased them reluctantly, wielding weapons and stabbing them. The slowly fled Mahan soldiers were corpses on the ground one after another, and some had knelt down and begging for surrender. The Mahan soldiers who escaped from the camp forgot that this was an island. Where could they escape from the camp without a boat?
The chief general of the Mahan army on Turtle Island walked eastward surrounded by his personal soldiers and gradually climbed a cliff. After turning two or three turns on the rugged mountain road, they saw a fjord that broke into the cliff, and then they climbed to the bottom of the fjord along a soft rope hidden among the plants and trees.
At the base of the cliffs that were near the surface of the fjord, there were a row of shuttle boats. There were as many as seven or eight. The group took three of them and pushed them into the water, shouted horns, paddled together, and drove out of the fjord like flying, heading towards the depths of the sea.
But they had only been less than a hundred battles away and saw the shadows of the Liang army's Viking ships appearing on both sides of the left and right. At this time, General Mahan's face was covered with water, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or sea water. He shouted in despair: "Pick up their gaps and break through at full speed!"
Several shuttle boats were thrust into the diagonal like arrows. Liang army had obviously discovered them. Each of the three fleets left a few to guard the spot, and the remaining twenty ships were intercepted and killed them together.
Although the shuttle ship was fast, it was still intercepted by the Liang army's Viking ship. Two loud bangs were heard, and two shuttle ships had already been knocked over. The Mahan soldiers on the ship fell into the sea. These people were trying to escape, but a fishing net covered with blades was wrapped tightly under their heads. Some people screamed in pain.
There was also a Mahan soldiers on a shuttle boat, holding their bladed oars and poking at the Liang army sailors who were facing the side of their ship, but the other party suddenly squatted down and hid behind a row of round shields on the side of the ship, and disappeared. The Mahan soldiers had just retracted the bladed oars, and these sailor soldiers suddenly emerged and threw the javelin and flying axe in their hands. In an instant, the seven or eight Mahan soldiers on the shuttle boat were cut open by the javelin and axe and rolled into the sea.
In just a quarter of an hour, the Liang army ended the battle. The bodies of Mahan soldiers were floating everywhere on the sea, and there were shuttles carrying several corpses. Further away, there were still several Viking ships marching back and forth to prevent fish that escaped the net. But even so tightly guarded, the general of the Mahan army still relied on his superb water nature to hold back for a quarter of an hour and quietly broke out of the Liang army's encirclement under the water.
The Liang army soldiers who were riding on Turtle Island in Shanghai were gathering more and more, searching for the Mahan army's defeated troops across the island and looking for ships that the Mahan army might be hiding on the coast. Xu Rong said loudly at this time: "This is not the main force of the Mahan army. We can quickly pass our military orders. People who have not landed on the island should not land on the island! Except for leaving a few teams of people to clean up the mess, the rest of the people must retreat to the ship immediately. We must take a boat to another place as soon as possible!"
The soldiers beside Xu Rong immediately trotted and teleported his military orders to various units. Soon after, the Liang army pushed the Viking ships stranded on several beaches on the island and pushed them back into the sea, then climbed onto the warships one after another, formed new queues, left Turtle Island, bulged their sails, and rushed towards the southwest.
...
At the isthmus, which is only fifty or sixty horses wide, the light cavalry of the ten cavalry Liang army was patrolling here. This is the main throat to Chaoxia Valley, where Mahan's main force is located. Zhang Liao deployed them here because he was worried that there would be fish that would leak the net in the battle of Turtle Island, which would inform Su Shi Duli and make him alert.
If there are any fish that escaped the net in Turtle Island, if they take a boat to the land surrounded by water in Chaoxia Valley, they will inevitably be discovered by Liang's Viking ships. However, if they land on a peninsula in the bay and then go by land, it will be difficult for Liang's army to discover it. However, from this peninsula to Sushanduli's nest, they must pass through this isthmus.
When these ten riders reached the beach, they turned their horse heads and slowly walked towards the coast on the other side of the isthmus. At that time, they had just turned around and a black shadow jumped up from the shallows under the coast, and rushed towards the flying feathers of the Liang army's light cavalry.
The last rider seemed to hear some noise. When he turned his head to look, he saw a black shadow rising into the air, and then he flew up from the saddle as if he was pushed hard by a strong man. When he landed on the ground, he had already found that the person who attacked him had sat on the saddle of his horse.
"There is an enemy..." Before he could shout, he found that the other party had already galloped, and the iron hooves of the war horse were only rushing towards him. He didn't have time to shout, and quickly rolled and went to the side. The war horse roared past him, and he could only shout repeatedly: "The enemy attacks, there are enemy soldiers! The one who was riding a horse was an enemy soldier."
These actually happened between lightning and flashing. The other Liang army's light cavalry Feiyu had not yet reacted. When they reacted, the other party had already run away for thirty battles. The light cavalry hurriedly raised their whips and chased them wildly. But the other party relied on their familiarity with the geographical terrain and threw them away in a few seconds.
...
In the Chaoxia Valley Cave, Su Shi Duli had fallen asleep for a long time. But at this time, he was quickly awakened by his personal guards. Su Shi Duli rubbed his sleepy eyes angrily and asked what was going on. The personal guards had already spoken: "Report to the King, something happened in Turtle Island. The chief general of the island's military camp risked his life to break through the siege and report to the King!"
