Chapter 355 Red Flag Rolling Sun and Water Battle (Part 2)

In the gradually dimming sky, fireworks still rose in the river.

"Don't run away, don't run...stop..."

Li Baozhen, the commander of the Western Zhejiang Navy and the commander of the Danyang Army, stood on the boat and shouted loudly, but could not stop his subordinates from being defeated.

Just like the history that happened before, these sailing cables had become full of holes, broken or broken, broken, and still burning fireworks. They rushed past him without hesitation as the center of the ship, gathering the waters around the many warships, but they ignored any orders from the central army and fled without looking back.

The left front of the navy, which had been pursuing the thieves before, had inexplicably retreated; and the right front who turned around and went to face and blocked, was still difficult to stop the collapse and caught fire or overturned in front of the newly emerging enemy ships. However, at least he had won some buffering opportunity for his mid-range, and he was in a hurry to paddle, raise sails, adjust the formation and gather together;

However, at this time he felt a little regretful. When he was attacking the thief camp in the nearshore, he used the cannon stones, charcoal and arrows brought by the ship, and only some melee sticks, heads and armies that jumped to the enemy. Now he was at the disadvantage of the countercurrent, and even the accumulated collision methods carried by the hull were weakened a lot.

"On the snail horn, row with all your strength, and hit the other side, our boat will be harder and more solid... Can it gain the upper hand?"

"The command of the ship's guards to start wearing armor and crossbows, preparing to jump on the side to catch the enemy..."

At this time, Li Baozhen heard a faint thunder from a closer distance again; then he finally saw clearly the appearance of the enemy ships rushing out of the wreckage of the official ships burning along the water under the fireworks that were surging from the river.

It was a strange warship that used baffles and big cards to cover the sidewalls. Apart from the towering hard sails and paddles, it was impossible to see clearly the inside of the deck. However, from the shape, it was still vaguely the shape of a flat river ship with pointed ends and round tails in Jingchu. It was obviously the place where the thief reinforcements from the upstream were located.

But Li Baozhen felt a little relieved. Since it was the style of the Jingchu River Boat as he knew, it meant the corresponding means and experience of dealing with it. At least these river boats built by the people were sturdy and durable, and they were never comparable to those under his command, which were good at commuting between the river mouth and the near-shore.

However, what did the enemy defeat the left and right fronts of the navy under his command? As the main force of the Danyang Navy brought out this time, the left and right fronts each had hundreds of warships, such as fighting ships, fighting ships, river boats, etc., and the soldiers who were carrying ships and fighting waters often had two or three thousand;

Even if he used up all the cannon stone arrows on the ship early, he would not easily defeat in the melee port; was the opponent just relying on those baffles that seemed to be able to prevent arrows and be covered with mud and flame retardant? Thinking of this, he became more and more alert and anxious, and he looked at the enemy ships full of rockets shot towards him, and he was still rushing towards the warships surrounding him.

In an instant, the extremely dull sound of impact exploded not far from Li Baozhen's boat, but he was the first to be hit by several official ships. Suddenly, countless pieces and broken oars were shot out at the impact, and the officers and soldiers gathered on the boat gang were knocked down in a shrill voice, piercing all over the ground.

However, the enemy ships did not make any moves next. Instead, the remaining officers and soldiers who were rushing up with blood bravery to rush up were caught, and they swung their swords and axes while climbing. More arrows shot over, and the fire urn filled with burning charcoal was also carried out of the cabin.

At this time, sparks suddenly appeared on the enemy ship that was handed over, and they were thrown into the official army that was surrounded by ant. In an instant, thunder sounded one after another, and smoke balls with large bunches of fire were splashed from the deck and the sidewall, and in an instant, these shirtless or armored officials and soldiers were shrouded forward.

After the smoke group was blown away by the river wind again, the rebels lay on the deck where the enemy was connected, with bloody bodies and wounded officers; even the officers and soldiers carrying large charcoal urns were carried in and screamed and rolled on the ground; and the fire urns were thrown into the hatch, and the charcoal fire that was poured over and spilled out in a few breaths ignited the inner warehouse and raised a large tuft of flames visible to the naked eye.

And this was just a few moments when more enemy ships rushed into these official army groups, and the fire and explosion sounds that were constantly hitting and throwing the joints, shrouding these official ships in smoke and ignited fire. The throwing firearms also became many ignition grease that was loaded in cans and would flow and ignite everywhere when they broke.

Then whenever the official troops on these warships want to swing the rods, columns, and piles to counterattack, they will be attacked by these throwing firearms, and the screams will immediately dissipate from the deck. Occasionally, there will be dull thunder sounds, and then the official ship that is currently fighting will suddenly begin to capsize and slowly sink.

"Ming Jin, hurry up and beat the enemy ships, paddle with all your strength, don't let them lean over... Order the ships outside to quickly get away from the enemy and reorganize and fight again..."

Seeing this scene, Li Baozhen was already full of heart and roared at his left and right with all his strength.

Then, he saw the lookout hand and the incoming soldiers standing in the mast hanger, being shot several times by the distance, falling without saying a word and falling on the deck with blood splashing all over the ground.

An enemy ship, whose size is only slightly smaller than his boat, and whose bulwarks and guardrails have become incomplete, was also slowly siding toward the boat where he was sitting. Li Baozhen not only drew his sword in shock and angrily, but also led the way forward and shouted:

"I am invincible, so I will kill all these thieves with me..."

"Kill the thief...kill the thief..."

"The guards and soldiers will follow the thieves and kill them..."

With the roar of enthusiasm on both sides, many officers and soldiers with helmets and armors surged out from the warehouse and deck, like a surging tide swept towards the enemy ships coming from the boundaries, and then they all set their bows and arrows, smacking the nails on the edge of the other party's ship and deck.

At this time, the deck of the enemy ship was filled with smoke and fire and became incomplete. Suddenly, several large balls of fire splattered out of the gap. In an instant, the elite armored soldiers gathered together were like invisible powerful force and then pounded on their backs. The people behind them were like rice and grass blown down by the strong wind, and they all turned into blood and rolled onto the deck.

Li Baozhen, who was surrounded by it, was pushed down and overturned to the ground by the people in front of him, and then piled up and squeezed on the spot and fainted. At this time, a sharp whistle sounded from the enemy ship, and with the ups and downs and huge shocks of the impact, he climbed and jumped in one go. The largest and most vivid official army was on the ship.

At this time, in the lower cabin, there were officers and soldiers pushing away the flesh-and-blooded corpse blocking the exit, trying to continue to do the stubborn resistance of the trapped beast; but they were shot on their bodies by many crossbows, and fell back into the body with the tailless short arrows all over their chests; then, someone raised a sign to cover the rushing out, but was smashed by the thrown pot of fire, and threw it in with a shrill scream.

After a while, the officers and soldiers on the deck had been cleared out one after another, and the enemies who had thrown most of the bodies were cleaned up and threw away the enemies. They began to follow the exits and panes everywhere and threw another fist-sized line firearm into the lower cabin. Then there was a series of fluffy vibrations and muffled sounds, and after a lot of gray smoke and air waves with blood foam and debris were sprayed out from the portholes and air outlets everywhere, there was no unnecessary rest under the cabin.

Even the flames rising in the cabin became dim, and then a flag was taken out and followed a strong soldier to climb up to the top of the mast and hung on the burned half of the hanger. Since then, the ship of the head general of the official army has successfully changed hands.

Seeing the huge blue flag on the main general of the central army gradually being raised on the mast on the ship, the official warships fighting near the river seemed to have lost their fighting spirit and backbone support, and suddenly showed a collapse.

Immediately, amid all the clamors, howling and wailing, they tried their best to drive away the oars and row the oars and try to seize the road. They knocked away the friendly ships approaching without hesitation, or slapped the struggling water without hesitation, and tried to climb on the heads of the officers and soldiers begging for help by the boat, just to clear a way out of life;

Or they competed to abandon the boat and escape in the water like dumplings, or they were on the deck hopelessly, throwing weapons and kneeling on the spot to ask for forgiveness...

When the battle on the river gradually ended under the increasingly heavy sky, waves of cheering and cheering began to be sent to the shore with the wind, turning into clear and audible sounds:

"Make up for the average day and create peace again..."

"Prepare the turbulent times and create peace again..."

"Clear the demonic atmosphere and create peace again..."

Then the sounds in the wind gradually affected and infected the rebel soldiers who were crowded on the shore to watch the battle, and then shouted in unison.

"Rebuild peace..."

"Rebuild peace..."

"Taiping..."

"Taiping..."

Finally, with these people who were cheering without knowing what was said, the shouts spread to the city one after another, only the word "Taiping" was left all over the mountains and fields.

Amid the trembling sounds on the shore, Meng Qi and Zhu Laosan were rarely seen escaping from death. Both of them were pale and smiled bitterly, but they did not expect that there would be such a turning point or change.

In the Xunyang Tower where the lights were just on, the deputy generals of the rebel army, Shang Rang and the banquet generals around him were already stunned. In the silence of each other, they were speechless and speechless for a long time.

As for Huang Chao standing at the top of the city, and the military mansions and the generals under him, they also looked at each other with complex expressions, and their eyes were flowing, and they didn't know what to say.

This dullness and depression lasted for a while until Huang Chao let go of his tight face with some relief, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he broke himself:

"It turns out that the Taiping Army brothers came to support me. I wonder who would like to go to greet and greet me on my behalf."

"What Huang Wang said is so good now..."

"King Huang is right, it's time to greet him well..."

Since Huang Chao openly expressed his opinion and set the tone first, these awkward, hesitant, nervous and waiting and watching people seemed to be relieved, and suddenly realized or woke up from a dream and echoed.

"I wish to go to the Huang King for comfort for one or two..."

Someone asked for a voluntary order, but it was Zhao Zhang, the right-submit of the military government. Cui Miao, who was ceremonially mixed among the crowd, had his eyes become extremely cold at this moment.

However, it was like a truth that was not settled and then again. Just as Zhao Zhang was about to take the order, the darkened sky suddenly sounded intermittent uproar.

"Not good, the government troops are attacking..."
