Chapter 17 The King of Yue 3
Sailing boats have the advantages of sailing boats, and oars have the advantages of oars. If it is in the deep sea, oars may not be as good as sailing boats, but in the near-shore bays, oars are far faster and more flexible than sailing boats. As long as there is an intact warship in the harbor, Tian Pu will take a boat to sea to avenge his former revenge for killing his father.
Before the smoke in the bay had dissipated, the low drum sounded gradually. First, there were assassins and then shelling. The corpses were full of chaos in the Zhifu Port. The recruited Qi people had already dispersed like birds and beasts and fled everywhere. The boat troops were snatching the hands of the boatmen, and the soldiers were not in sight of the boat officials and generals, and they were also panic. The low drum sound finally calmed them down.
"The general has an order: quickly board the boat, quickly board the boat, and chase the Jing people!" It was soon the voice of the soldiers. Yang Duanhe and Tian Pu did not dare to say that Zhao Ying was dead, so they could only order under the name of Zhao Ying. The boat officials of each boat quickly boarded the boat with the abandoned soldiers who were missing from the left toe. Any warship that was not injured by the shells, whether it was his own or not, would quickly board the boat and quickly set off.
However, before they set sail, the Qin soldiers on Laoye Ridge screamed again: "Jing people! Jing - people!"
Including the injured Qingqiu, the fleet led by Shen Yinshang turned back. The six radial points are the insurmountable boundaries for sailing warships to sail, but the two six radials are only 135 degrees. With the six radials as the limit, there are only 0-102.5 and 327.5-360 on the compass of the Shannon, and all 225 degrees can be sailed.
The specific operation is to take the fleet's 260 first, sail out of Zhifu Bay along the mainland coast south of Zhifu Bay, then quickly turn to 320, and sail to the northwest with wind; after sailing for one nautical mile with wind, the fleet turns in the wind, heads in the direction of 120, and rush into Zhifu Bay as before.
This is also due to the wind direction. Because the bottom of Zhifu Bay is almost parallel to the wind direction, the fleet can continue to spin around in this narrow sea. However, when the fleet enters Zhifu Port for the second time, it cannot fire a few hundred meters away from the coast as it was the first time. This time the fire was much farther away and it started firing one thousand meters away. This was a threatening artillery bombardment, with the purpose of preventing the Qin people in the port from boarding the warship and sailing.
The Qin army had no iron anchors, and the stone anchors that fixed the warships were very heavy. Before the fleet entered the effective range, the Three-legged Golden Crow took the lead to the bottom of Zhifu Bay to shell the enemy with the advantage of being able to sail against the wind. Although the number of three fifteen-pound cannons was not as powerful as the Chaos-level military equipment, the Three-legged Golden Crow, which used the spring buffering device of the large-wing gunboat, fired extremely fast. After one round of artillery, some warships that were about to set sail, and the boatman also abandoned the boat amid the sound of cannons and fled.
When the Shan Shi sailed in, the twelve gunboats repeated the scene just now, and bombarded the warships anchored outside the inner and outer ports of Zhifu Port. With the experience of the last time, the gap between the gunboats this time was extremely large, and the speed through the bottom of the bay was extremely slow. Including the Three-legged Golden Crow, the thirteen gunboats repeatedly circled around a triangle with a circumference of five nautical miles, constantly bombarding the Qin army warships and continuous tents on the shore. They continued to fire until all the gun barrels turned red and could not fire the gun, and the Flagship Mountain issued the flag verb to withdraw from the battle.
Along the route when he came, the fleet sailed fourteen nautical miles towards 325, then turned in the wind, rubbing the Six-Ruo Sutra Point toward the corner of the mountain. A new Suzaku-class sea boat waiting outside Zhifu Port repeatedly fired flags, indicating that some wounded people were going to board the ship.
As the most important force on the Chu State's sea, the Chaos-class gunboats are not only equipped with a doctor, but also a blood man. Zuo Wuzhu and Zuo Zhu An, who were snatched from the pile of corpses, were seriously injured and had not died yet. Mo Xiangjia was shot through by the Qin crossbow arrow, but his body was limited and he did not stab the internal organs. However, if blood transfusions were not performed immediately, the two people might not be able to hold on tonight.
"My people?" The seashore of Zhifu Port, Shen Yinshang, who was worried that the Qin army would chase him, did not want to accept the wounded from the seashore of Zhifu Port.
"The Yue people are." The sea communication is not as good as the land. The reason why the soldiers were called Yue people injured was because they saw four Yue people's large-winged warships, and it was natural to judge that this should be Yue people injured.
"Before our army's artillery bombardment, the Qin people were surrounding and killing Yue people, and the arrows were like rain." Bu Liangju remembered. At dawn, thousands of Qin people were surrounding some people to shoot arrows, and then the mountain fired. The arrows shot by the Qin people were as dense as rain. He thought those people were dead, but he didn't expect that those people were not dead but were seriously injured.
"Since you are a warrior, you will be accepted by the Shan." The scene described by Bu Liangju made Shen Yinshang feel like he was united with the enemy. He didn't care who he was. As long as he was the enemy of the Qin people, he was an ally of the Chu people. Only when the wounded boarded the ship did he know who was coming up and what happened to them before they broke into Zhifu Bay.
"Zhao Ying is dead?" Shen Yin was still unbelievable. The fleet attacked Zhifu Port in surprise and did not say who to kill. The purpose of the surprise attack was to destroy the Qin army's warships and to attack the morale of the Qin people's boat troops. Unexpectedly, more than a dozen Yue people rushed into Zhifu Port and killed Zhao Ying.
"Yes." The Zhou Lie was a Yue person who spoke, and did not understand Chu language. Fortunately, Rong Bo was at the middle of the translation. Shen Yinshang realized that the injured person was holding his head to death was Zhao Ying's head. "The King of Min Yue had previously mistakenly thought that the King of Fan Wu Shen was Zhao Ying, so he killed Fan Wu Shen first. The King of Ou Yue knew who was Zhao Ying, so he drove Zhao Ying to death, but was surrounded by Zhao Ying's short soldiers. Seeing this, the King of Min Yue turned back and climbed to the high eaves of the Gangling Mansion and leaped down, and the Qin people were angrily shocked..."
Zhubo described the scene of Zuo Wuzhu killing Zhao Ying. The surrounded Zuo Zhuan knew that Zhao Ying could not be killed, so he quickly climbed the stairs and wanted to enter the Mingtang again, intending to use the hall to defend it. He was shocked to see Zuo Wuzhu falling from the beam in the large room. He heard the shouts of Zuo Zhuan and others, and then he realized that he had killed the wrong person. In order to kill Zhao Ying and save Zuo Zhuan, he also climbed up the sorrow without leaving the flat ground, and took advantage of the Qin people's unpreparedness to jump down from the eaves and killed Zhao Ying who was pressing down the stairs.
"This is a hero!" Although assassination was not a glorious act, Shen Yinshang still admired Zuo Wuzhu from the bottom of his heart.
He ordered his left and right to treat each other carefully. While the Yue people and Zhou officials were no longer in the Jue room, Zhu Bo immediately waved his back and whispered: "This is the King of Yue!"
"King of Yue?" Shen Yin was puzzled, "This is not the King of Min Yue, Ou Yue?"
"It is indeed the army of Minyue and Ouyue, but Da Ao has already allowed Yue people to be kings. The kings of Yue sneaked into Zhifu to kill people in order to compete for the throne. The kings of Minyue killed Zhao Ying and took his rank, and should be King Yue." What Linbo asked was not only how Zuo Wuzhu killed Zhao Ying, but also why did several people sneak into Zhifu from Langya Port to kill people.
The result of the inquiry was that the king of Zhu Yue entered Zhifu Port and killed people in order to fight for the king. The Gongshi and Zuo Fushan did not sneak into Zhifu Port, but killed some of the recruited Qi people outside the port and returned to the warship. Only Zuo Wuzhu and Zuo Zhuan sneaked into Zhifu Port, and both wanted to kill Zhao Ying.
"The Yue people have a king, which is a great harm to our Chu State." Zhubo continued. "It is unsuccessful."
"The Yue people are my alliance, why not save them?" Shen Yinshang was a little surprised, surprised that he said such words.
"Today is my alliance, and tomorrow will be my mortal enemy." Zhubo shook his head. "The Chu people have warships, and the Yue people have warships; the Chu people have sea boats, and the Yue people have return boats; the Chu people can practice Ju, and the Yue people can practice Ju now, and it takes time for a while..."
"How big is the world? Why did Chu Yue turn against him?" Shen Yinshang sighed and asked in response. "Besides, the people of Yue are my alliance. If you don't save him and let him die, you will have no faith."
"No one knows this, but the man died of blood." Zhubo argued. "If the general doesn't want to, I can do it."
"Or no one knows it, but the gods must know it." Shen Yinshang was silent for a while, but still shook his head. "And why I, Chu people, are more afraid of the more people? The more people can refine the giants, can the more people cast cannons? Can they make gunpowder?"
"A thing about gunpowder..." Shen Yin still said that gunpowder was fine. When he talked about gunpowder, he suddenly thought of something, "There are sulfur in Yizhou and Penglai, but the king of Minyue said nothing. Last year, I was a Chu person climbed Penglai, and the other side said that there was sulfur on the island, and this matter was because the Yue people had their own personalities."
"Jiyin searched for sulfur in Chu State, but he hadn't seen him for several years. Is Jiyin private?" If he talked about this matter alone, Shen Yinshang might believe Lu Bo's words, but these things were said together. In the preconceived situation, he always felt that Lu Bo was making excuses for not saving people. After refuting Lu Bo, he formally warned: "The Chu people are not villains, and they cannot do this kind of misfortune; gunboats are not a place for killing people. If you want to kill people, you can land on ashore and kill them, and you cannot kill them on the ship."
"Today, the two divination is not auspicious, but the Qin people were not prepared. This is because of King Yue!" Lin Bo seemed not to hear Shen Yinshang's warning, and talked to himself about the reason why divination was not auspicious, and his expression was shocked on the spot.
"Nonsense!" Shen Yinshang felt a stern, but he still angrily scolded. "Come here-!"
There was a soldier outside the Jue room. When he heard Shen Yinshang called the soldier, Lu Bo came back from his shock. He stood up and said prophetically before leaving the Jue room: "I have seen you, and the general will regret today in the future."
After saying that, Lin Bo left the Jue Room. The soldier stood at the door for a while before Shen Yinshang waved him back and sat alone in the Jue Room.
The surprise attack was completely successful. In addition to the collision between Qingqiu and Jiwei, some artillery soldiers were damaged by the red barrels, and the fleet did not suffer much casualties. The attack on the Qin people was fatal. More than 700 warships and more than 400 transport boats were bombarded. Although it was just solid shells with two holes, it still had a great damage effect. It can be said that more than 700 Qin army warships were injured. It took at least one or two months for Zhifu Port, which lacked craftsmen, to repair those warships.
Moreover, the general Zhao Ying of the boat army was dead - if Zhao Ying was really dead, the Qin people would be very angry. The Vietnamese warships in Langya Port could take this opportunity to launch a strong attack and directly capture Zhifu Port with the fleet.
