Chapter 16 The King of Yue 2

In order to hunt the head of the Qin general Zhao Ying, the Hong Kong Order Mansion was carrying out a fierce battle. The Yue people's fierce and fearless style made people unable to resist. Unfortunately, they did not block the gate of Mingtang. Zhao Ying and others rushed out of Mingtang in a mess and rolled down the platform. The intimidating soldiers from the audience followed and surrounded Zuo Zhu An, who was chasing him.

Above the Yellow Sea, it was dark and then to 38 degrees north latitude, and the surprise attack fleet on the east side of Dazhushan Island was waiting. Seeing that morning was approaching, a cannon sounded, a light signal was lit on the main mast plate of the flagship Shan: Sailing 170 and setting sail.

"Tailing 170! Set sail." The other eleven gunboats repeated the command of the flagship on the deck. The wind blew from the direction of zero three five, and the sailor quickly adjusted the direction of the cross-truss to 102, so that the sails evenly divided the angle between the wind direction and the heading. Unlike the previous difficult wind, when sailing down the wind, the northeast wind blew the huge cross-sails loudly, and the hull also tilted to the southwest downwind due to the wind, and rolled back and forth, but the speed quickly rose to eight knots.

After the sailor's speed measurement, Shen Yinshang nodded with satisfaction. This was the speed he wanted. The dawn time in Zhifu Port was just before Danming, and the sunrise time was in Danming. It was two hours before Danming in the morning and three hours before Danming. At that moment, the fleet rushed into Zhifu Bay and began to shell the Qin people's boat troops.

The best way to destroy the enemy fleet is to destroy it in the harbor. On the mountain, Shen Yinshang couldn't help but think of Xiong Jing's words. However, in the next door's room, Wu Si Bu was still praying devoutly, and the burning of the tortoise shell was still not finished. A long time later, Liu Bo told Shen Yinshang an unexpected result: unlucky.

"Isn't it auspicious?" Shen Yinshang lowered his voice and raised his heart. Did the Qin people already know that they would attack Zhifu Port?

"Not auspicious." Zhubo once went to the Red Sea with Shen Yinshang, and he said seriously. "It has been taken twice, but it is not auspicious."

Zhubo did not divine once, but twice. The result of both times was unlucky, and he did not dare to divine the third time. Shen Yinshang's expression changed a lot when he heard this. Bu Liangju, who was in the Jue room, said: "Do you decide your doubts, why not divine? The Qin people and even the Chu people thought that the sea boats could only go with the wind, not against the wind. The Qin people set up watchtowers in Chaoai and other places, using smoke in the daytime and fire in the night. At this time, they could see the coast, so why not see the Qin people prepared?"

The Taotie-class cargo boat was also converted into gunboats. With the shortage of artillery, all the large-wing gunboats were dismantled. Bu Liangju could only board the Chaos-class gunboat. His words were the words of Dou Lian in the past refuted the words of Da Mo Ao Qu Xia. But he chose to forget that Dou Lian said this when Qu Xia thought he wanted to divine. He opposed divination, not the unfavorable result.

Both divination was not auspicious, which made people think that in order to welcome the queen back to Chu State five years ago, the three divinations of the Marquis of Yiyang were unauspicious. The dark night was vast, what would the Qin people really set up an ambush in Zhifu Bay?

"When will it take?" Looking at the bay where it was burning, sweat couldn't help but flow down Shen Yinshang's back. He had to make a decision.

"Report to General, there are still two minutes of Danming." Lu Bo paid attention to the time and answered when he saw him asking. "It will light up the day after tomorrow."

"General!" The north wind was fierce, and the bay was within four miles of the sea. Bu Liangju was very worried that Shen Yinshang would order the fleet to turn around.

The sea was still dark, and the coast was far away, and the Qi people who were recruiting the recruiters became clearer and clearer under the fire. But no one knew that it was the Qi people, and they thought it was the Qin army soldiers. Why did the Qin army stand on the coast? No one knew that they might be afraid of the Chu army landing, or they might be preparing to board a boat and go to sea.

"General, Qin people..." There were more than tens of thousands of Qin soldiers on the coast, and their erectile thrusts became more and more creepy, thinking that there were Qin soldiers around them.

"Send the order!" Shen Yinshang's interruption of the silence. "Every ship's armored soldiers quickly go to the deck to prevent the Qin people from setting up an ambush."

"Send the order! Each ship's armored soldiers quickly to the deck to prevent the Qin people from setting up an ambush." ​​The order turned into a light signal and sent to the ships behind the Shan. The soldiers and archers under the artillery deck quickly boarded the main deck to guard the side of the side to prevent the Qin soldiers from boarding the boat.

It doesn’t mean anything when the soldiers boarded the deck. After this order, the mountain number was about to enter Zhifu Bay. Shen Yinshang ordered again: “Rise the flag and fight!”

"Rise the flag, fight!" The order excited the entire fleet, but Zhubo was deeply worried. But at this time, the Shan had quickly passed through the reef island at the westernmost end of the umbrella and entered Zhifu Port, and there was no possibility of turning eastward. The sky gradually became brighter at this time. Did the Qin people set up an ambush in the bay? You could see it as soon as the sky was dawn.

"Kill the assassin! Kill the assassin!" A moment before dawn, there was chaos in Zhifu Port. Thousands of armored soldiers chased the assassins who assassinated Zhao Ying, and pushed them little by little to a mound under Laoye Ridge, the highest peak of the umbrella. At this time, the Qin people knew that the assassin had sneaked into the harbor from the north of the umbrella. While surrounding the assassin, the armored soldiers quickly occupied the peaks of Laoye Ridge, which were more than 200 meters high, cutting off the assassin's retreat.

"Kill assassin! Kill assassin! Kill assassin..." The Qin people hated assassin the most. Jing Ke's entire clan, including children, died of a car. Now the assassin assassinated General Zhao Ying and also cut off his head. They must die. If they do not die, not only will the short soldiers and soldiers present be guilty, but their families will also be punished with ghost wages.

Zuo Wuzhu and Zuo Zhu An were both injured by the Qin people's arrows, which was the result of a close-range crossbow shooting. The arrowhead broke through Mo Xiangjia's tough collar and penetrated deeply into the body. There were not many dead soldiers around the two, and each of them was injured with arrows.

"It's all because you are foolish, I have to save me! Now the two of them are dead..." The Qin people surrounded him approached step by step, and spat out a mouthful of blood foam with Zuo Wuzhu's back-to-back defense, and complained helplessly. He sent him to the Hong Kong Order Mansion one step ahead of Zuo Wuzhu. In order to eavesdrop on the Qin people's military strategy, he did not take action. Zuo Wuzhu rushed into the Mingtang like a reckless man, killed the wrong person, and finally turned around to save him.

"I have killed Zhao Ying, I am the King of Yue! I want to save you." Zuo Wuzhu was extremely proud. Zhao Ying was killed by him, and his head was tied to his waist. He finally did something that everyone in the world wanted to do, and he finally became the King of Yue.

"Shoot--!" After Zuo Wuzhugang finished speaking, Yang Duanhe, who was frightened in the middle of the night, ordered a rapid shooting. The Yue people protected each other, wearing Mo Xiangjia, but they had no shields. The Qin people's hands quickly retreated in the encirclement, and countless crossbowmen emerged. With Yang Duanhe's orders, the crossbow string burst out and arrows shot like rain. Although several dead soldiers stepped forward to block the arrows, they were still one step too late.

"I?" After the arrow rain, Zhu An wanted to laugh, but the severe pain made him unable to laugh. He was facing the mouth of Zhifu Bay on the mound. The dusk dissipated at this moment. A sea boat full of sails flashed in the bay. He looked at the sea boat in surprise because it was breaking through the waves and galloping towards his place.

"I am the King of Yue, I am my man." Zuo Wuzhu was covered with more arrows, and he knew he was going to die.

"Jing-man!!" As the sky was dawn, the Qin people in the harbor immediately saw the Chu army gunboats that had entered Zhifu Bay. The soldiers on Laoye Ridge saw four large-winged warships docked to the north of the umbrella, and the soldiers on the boat had already landed.

"Jingren?" Yang Duanhe turned around and saw the sudden appearance of the "Shan" number. At this time, the "Shan" number, which was driving with an umbrella in the north, was only a few hundred steps away from the bottom of the bay. It quickly turned south and faced the people on the bottom of the bay.

"Shut the sails. Open the cannon door..." The military orders on the deck came faintly, and square holes appeared on the bulwarks one by one.

"Let's go--!" A loud shout sounded on the deck. Hearing this, Tian Pu jumped and threw Yang Duanhe, who was still standing there not far away.

‘Boom! Boom! Boom…’? The twelve thirty-two-jin cannons on the side of the mountain were aimed at the boats on the shore and the Qin people roared. The shells smashed the boats and bombed them into the crowd, wood chips, flesh and blood, and broken limbs and exploded.

?The Shan bombardment was like a century. After the volley, the Yangxu, which was directly south, opened fire again. The crowd that had just been ravaged by artillery shells had not yet come back to its senses. The violent shelling came again, this time it was a shotgun. Although only the first two gunboats were aimed at the crowd, the shotgun swept across the beach, and the sea water was red.

The Qin people were unprepared! Shen Yin Shangyan, who did not want to miss the opportunity, turned the Ganshan at the end of the team, and immediately ordered the ships to stop urgently to extend the shelling time. Emergency stop is an uncommon action for sailing ships. This is to turn the sails on both sides to offset the wind force from each other, and achieve the purpose of rapid deceleration.

However, at this time, the twelve gunboats sailing along the bottom of the bay sailed southwest, and the wind blew ten degrees eastward from the stern of the ship. Only the spinnakers at the stern of the ship could blow the wind, and the main mast and foremast could hardly blow the wind. The new captains of the five gunboats, Jishan, Qingqiu, Jiwei, Dahe, and Ganshan, did not know how to stop in such a situation.

Except for the Jishan who was ahead, following the Danyuan, who turned the sail truss to the opposite wind direction, the other four ships panicked, and the Jiwei, who was unable to slow down, hit the left backside of the Zhongqingqiu, causing the first casualties of this surprise attack.

The sound of cannons at the bottom of the bay was fierce, and the Qin people who had no equipment had almost no resistance to such a degree of artillery bombardment. Shen Yinshang, who was sailing out of the bottom of the bay, saw the Jiwei hit the Qingqiu, and hit the bulwark with a palm. Then he quickly blew the flag to the Qingqiu to ask about his injuries.

On the coast, when he heard the sound of cannons, Yang Duanhe, who was pressed on the beach by Tian Pu, raised his head. But he saw nothing. The umbrella in the north of Zhifu Port blocked the cold wind blowing from the northeast. The bay was covered with white smoke like fog, and the sails of the Chu army's sea boats appeared and disappeared. When he turned to look for Tian Pu, he saw the assassin's accomplices rushing down from Laoye Ridge and snatch the body of the assassin who had been surrounded and killed.

"Come on--" Yang Duanhe was about to ask someone to kill the assassin, but Tian Pu, who came out of nowhere, grabbed him and said, "This is the north wind, it is inconvenient for Jing people to detour, so I can attack it."
