Chapter 1077: Farewell to the Continent
The battlefield is west of the sea.
Just half an hour ago, Sun Ce stood proudly on the top deck of the warship with a silver spear in his hand, looking down at the battlefield ahead with a vigorous spirit, and his army was in full swing.
On the troop transport ships on the left and right, the Japanese soldiers in Lin Lie were full of fighting spirit and their blood was boiling.
Looking up, the countless flags of each ship rolled like angrily waves under the sea breeze.
On the deck, the solemn Japanese soldiers, their iron armor reflected cold light, and their stern aura covered the sky.
They were ready and just waited for their Emperor to give the order, and then returned to Weihai Port to complete the final reversal battle.
Sun Cehuan swept away the mighty soldiers, and killed the Wei army in the east with the wind. Zhou Yu's fleet, which had the upper hand, had the haze on his face, and his fierce confidence was burning again.
"Li Shunchen is really a blessing general given to His Majesty by God. The west wind is so strong that our army will fight with the wind. Judging from this situation, it will not take long for the Wei Navy to be completely destroyed. That is when His Majesty takes advantage of the victory and fight back to the shore and recapture Weihai."
Wu Yong, who was standing beside him, was also full of energy and said with a smile to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce laughed wildly.
Without Wu Yong's reminder, Sun Ce could see that the army would definitely win in this naval battle, and the comprehensive Wei Navy was no problem.
Only by sending Zhou Yu to win, he could join Zhou Yu's troops, take the remaining power of the victory, and fight back to the shore in one go, killing the terrified Wei army to turn the earth and recapture Weihai Port.
He could even chase the defeated soldiers of Tao Shang, advance west again, regain Huangxian, regain Xiami, eat Juxian in one breath, and open the passage to the Central Plains west...
What a great shocking reversal this will be.
And Sun Ce will also be famous for this miraculous reversal.
The more Sun Ce thought about it, the happier he became. He couldn't help but shout: "The soldiers of the Sun will fight back against Weihai later. Whoever can be the first to kill ashore will be rewarded!"
Sun Ce was confident and had already begun to inspire morale in advance and make a promise to inspire people.
In an instant, the Japanese army was so excited that their blood was so excited that they were all so excited that they blushed.
"Fight for the Emperor and take back Weihai!" Oda Nobunaga roared for the first time.
He was responsible for defending Weihai before, but in less than half an hour, he was attacked by the Tao merchant and drove out of the sea. He had already held a breath of anger in his heart.
Now that his army has won a great victory in the naval battle, he finally has the opportunity to counterattack the sea camp and eliminate shame. How could Oda Nobunaga not be passionate and impulsive?
"Retake Weihai!"
"Retake Weihai!"
Above the ships, the Japanese soldiers with blood were shouting in unison, and the roars like mountains and seas were shaking so hard that it seemed as if the sea water was swelling and boiling.
Looking at the soldiers who were rekindled with blood, Sun Ce's face became even more arrogant and snorted coldly: "Shang Tao, you want to drive me out of the sea and be your dream of spring and autumn, hum..."
Sun Ce was laughing loudly, the soldiers were roaring and roaring, and the murderous intent was like fire. The whole army was covered with excitement of turning defeat into victory.
But for some reason, Hua Rong, who was standing beside him, couldn't get up at all.
Because he had just learned from Oda Nobunaga that when the sea camp was in its fall, Hu Sanniang failed to escape to the sea in time and was probably dead in battle at this moment.
As the only four remaining members of the Taishan Army, Lin Chong has surrendered to the Wei State, and Hu Sanniang has also died in the battlefield, leaving only the team and Wu Yong.
Now Wu Yong has been relied on by Sun Ce as a counselor, and the news of the Japanese army is spreading. Only the rest of him is not allowed to be used by Sun Ce.
Suddenly, Hua Rong felt lonely and lonely.
His eyes looked at the shore, thinking about the scene of Hu Sanniang's death in battle, he shook his head and sighed inwardly.
At this moment, Hua Rong seemed to feel something was wrong.
He suddenly stretched out his hand and raised the battle robe behind him in the air. He was surprised to find that the battle robe that had originally floated to the east had actually changed toward the west.
The wind direction has changed!
When Hua Rong's face changed, Sun Ce had not yet noticed it and was already planning to order the ships to turn the bow and head towards the shore to launch an attack.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, the wind has changed!" Hua Rong shouted immediately.
Sun Ce was startled by the sudden sniffle, and turned around and glared at him annoyedly. He didn't understand yet what he meant by the change of wind direction.
However, Oda Nobunaga reacted very quickly, suddenly realized, his face changed immediately, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, he is right. The wind direction suddenly changed, and it turned into an east wind!"
Sun Ce's figure suddenly shook, and he looked up at the battle flag. Sure enough, he saw in horror that the originally violent west wind had turned into an east wind.
Moreover, the wind is stronger and faster.
Sun Ce's original heroic and confident expression suddenly changed, and endless fear burst out from his eyes, and he shouted in horror: "What's going on? Why did the good west wind suddenly turn into the east wind?"
Wu Yong changed color, Oda Nobunaga changed color, and tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers who were still fighting spirit a second ago changed color in an instant and fell into horror.
Just when Sun Ce was still shocked, the war on the sea to the east had undergone a huge change with the sudden change of the wind.
Li Shunchen, who was killed in all directions and was unbeatable, was the first to be defeated.
Immediately afterwards, Taishici's fleet was defeated.
Subsequently, Zhou Tai's fleet was defeated.
In the end, even Zhou Yu's flagship of the central army turned the bow and collapsed in the wind.
Behind them, the Wei Navy was unstoppable under the battleship with the banner of "Zheng" and was chasing and crushing all the way.
In a moment, the Ji Army, which was originally in the victory, was killed in the sea of corpses and suffered heavy losses!
Zhou Yu was defeated?
Still a crushing defeat!
Sun Ce's whole body was petrified and his mouth was opened to the boss, his expression was distorted and deformed, and his face was filled with endless horror.
That look seemed to have seen the strangest thing in this world.
As for Wu Yong, Oda Nobunaga, and even all the Japanese soldiers watching the battle, they were all stunned and at a loss.
At this moment, Sun Ce and his subordinates, all their arrogance, all their confidence, and all their hopes were ruthlessly shattered and disintegrated.
"I clearly have a lucky general Li Shunchen, and God is already helping me. Why? Why did the wind change suddenly? Who is the enemy general named Zheng?"
Sun Ce roared in horror and anger, his fist clenched and made a sound, his voice was already hoarse and trembling, and he was a little lost.
The ministers in the world were all at a loss, and no one could answer Sun Ce's question.
Because, they couldn't figure out why.
After all, since sending troops to the mainland, although they have lost consecutive battles on the land, they have been protected by God in every battle at sea and have never been defeated.
But today, they didn't know why God abandoned them. In the most critical naval battle, they helped Wei State and made them lose so badly.
"Your Majesty, since the time has been lost and the navy has been defeated, it is destined to be impossible for us to regain Weihai. For the sake of the present, we can only choose to withdraw to Incheon Port and make plans." Wu Yong, who woke up, shook his feather fan and sighed.
Sun Ce's face was distorted, and his state of mind that he did not dare to be painful was written on his face. His fists were clenching and his fists were clenched, and he was full of anger, but he couldn't vent it.
On the left and right warships, the Japanese troops who had been fighting fiercely before and were just waiting to return to the land were all frightened and shrouded in terror.
Everyone knows that the situation is over and the defeat is decided.
Seeing Sun Ce hesitating, even Oda Nobunaga suppressed his anger of revenge and sighed and advised: "Your Majesty, since the situation is over and we are powerless to turn the world back, there is no need for us to lose our soldiers. After all, our country's national strength is far inferior to that of Wei. We must not throw all the soldiers and warships we have accumulated here, otherwise our hope of counterattacking the continent will be completely broken."
After Wu Yong and Oda Nobunaga's repeated persuasion, Sun Ce finally calmed down completely. He shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Forget it, I'll pass on my order. The whole army immediately set sail north and head to Incheon Port."
Oda Nobunaga and others breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly passed the order down and hung the flag for retreat.
Sun Ce's flagship turned around and headed north first. The large and small troop transport ships also hurriedly set sail, and rushed north before the Wei army warships arrived.
As for the defeated navy led by Zhou Yu, when he saw the direction of withdrawal from Sun Ce, he knew that Sun Ce planned to retreat to Incheon on the Korean Peninsula. In desperation, he could only lead the defeated troops and sailed northward towards the vast sea.
The pottery merchant on the shore saw Sun Ce fleeing and expected to flee to the Korean Peninsula. Since the goal of driving the Japanese pirates into the sea had been achieved, he decisively ordered the gold medal to stop pursuing Wu Zixu and lead the victorious navy to Weishanhai.
The army and the army of the Wei Dynasty met successfully in Weihai Port. In the two great victories, the soldiers were excited and cheered across the sea and land.
At this time, Sun Ce had fled far away, stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the outline of the continent that was gradually moving away, listening to the cheers of Wei army coming from afar, and his gloomy face was burning with deep pain.
When the coastline finally sank under the sea, Sun Ce breathed a deep breath and sighed to the sky: "After today's defeat, I don't know when and when will I, Sun Ce, return to the mainland, alas..."
...
Sun Ce escaped, but the pottery was celebrating.
That night, a grand banquet was held in this resurrected Weihai Port.
The pottery merchants took all their wine and meat, rewarded the soldiers of the three armies with great pleasure, so that they could have a good drink to celebrate the overall victory in the battle against Japanese pirates.
In the imperial tent, the generals were drinking happily and carnival.
After several rounds of wine, the curtain was lifted up, but Hong Xuanjiao, who was in charge of the army, also arrived and came to the tent to pay a visit.
When he stepped into the imperial tent, Hong Xuanjiao looked at the energetic pottery merchant's eyes, his pretty face was filled with joy and admiration, bowing and smiling: "Xuanjiao congratulated His Majesty on his great victory in Weihai and quelling the trouble of Japanese pirates."
The pottery drank a glass of wine and reached out to Hong Xuanjiao with a smile. The meaning was clearly to let her come over.
Seeing so many generals still present, Hong Xuanjiao suddenly felt a hint of dizziness on her face, and she felt a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, she walked up and gently placed her hand on the palm of Tao Shang's hand.
As soon as Tao Shang tried hard, he pulled her into his arms and said with a smile: "Today is not just a joy, but a joy is coming, have you forgotten?"
"Double happiness comes, what does Your Majesty mean?" Hong Xuanjiao fell in Tao Shang's arms, her face flushed like a cloud of clouds, and she didn't dare to look in front of the tent, for fear of hitting the laughing expressions of the generals.
"Have you forgotten?" A playful smile appeared on the corner of Tao Shang's mouth. "I said that I will marry you as a concubine just by waiting for me to pacify the Japanese pirates. Isn't this a happy event?"
Hong Xuan's delicate body shook, his face was dizzy, he was both happy and ashamed, and he lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
The Tao Shang liked her more and more. He lowered his head and kissed her on the face, laughed and said, "Transfer my will and hold a banquet in Weihai Harbor tomorrow night. It will be even more grand than today. I want to marry Xuan Jiao and let her become my woman with justification."
The generals around and around stood up and congratulated each other.
