Chapter Seventy-Eighth: Jiang Shen Huruo
()ps: I sincerely thank you for your monthly votes~~~~~
The water on the river was turned upside down, and some timid people unconsciously closed their eyes tightly. Most of these people were from the Jingkou Army, while the rest were staring straight at the huge red waves that covered the entire bow.
, but no one paid attention to the corpses and debris all over the river that were pushed to both sides by wave after wave of water.
In fact, everyone understands that the Jie Zhao navy suffered a big loss this time. There were many sergeants on the bow of their ship. Just lifting the boulder on the pole required more than a dozen big men to work at the same time. Although the boulder was already high,
hoist,
But there was no chance of falling. The huge waves caused by the collision of the two ships broke the poles before the collision. The huge rocks not only smashed the bones of the big men, but also hit the cabin of their own ship without losing its momentum.
Fall out of a big hole.,
On the other hand, the Liangzhou navy seemed to have known this outcome. Except for a few people standing on the watchtower, most of them hid in the ship's cabin.
The waves rolling up in front have not yet fallen, and those behind are surging out again. This section of the river is like more than twenty water dragons circling and dancing at low altitude. The huge body obscures the truth inside, making it possible to only see it roughly.
No specific situation.
However, what is suspicious is that the only thing that can be heard mixed with the sound of water splash is the extremely harsh sizzling and grinding sound, and the screams and the cracking sound of the hull breaking are all drowned out by the huge sound of water.
Where does the grinding sound come from?
Fortunately, the water waves weakened and subsided in a few breaths. However, the scene in front of them made everyone unable to believe their eyes. Is this true?
Han Fu rubbed his eyes, shook his head again, a dull expression appeared on his face, and asked himself over and over again: "Is this true? How could this be the result? How could the Liangzhou battleship do this?
So strong?"
Although Han Yong was not so arrogant, he was still limited. At this time, his consciousness was completely blank! Is this the battleship that he was proud of? He was confident, even when facing a huge building ship. At most
It only takes five enhanced battleships to besiege it. It can definitely sink the building ship!
However, what he saw today shook his self-confidence! The more than twenty fighting ships on his side seemed to be cut open under the thrust of the large iron awl with huge impact.
, actually split into two halves, rolling
The river sank at an extremely fast speed! Although the Liangzhou battleship was not unscathed, it did not disintegrate. That is to say, the bow and sides of the ship shattered some parapets and wooden boards, or several
The big iron awl was broken on the spot, and there was nothing more.
Moreover, Han Yong also saw with his own eyes that the strange-looking warships directly opposite were filled with water from the Gugu River quickly into the cracked planks. But the strange thing was that the ships showed no signs of sinking and were still riding the wind and waves steadily.
Come. How is this possible? Could it be that the other party needs the blessing of the River God?
Coincidentally, there were many people who had similar thoughts to Han Yong. A Haimen general turned his head with piety on his face and said: "General, no wonder the Liangzhou navy is so confident. It turns out they hired a strange minister to protect them! Emperor Wei Ming is too.
"Guang Ya", written during the reign of He, says: Jiang Shen
The so-called strange appearance is that she is the daughter of the Zhen Meng family. She stole the Yellow Emperor's mysterious pearl and sank into the river to death. She turned into a river god! At first, the general only believed seven points, but now he believes it completely. Otherwise, his ship would have been knocked away.
How come such a big gap doesn't sink into the water? It's obviously protected by something strange!"
After saying this, there was a continuous thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump thump, thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump.
Xie Shang also found it quite incredible, but he did not believe in ghosts and gods. Most people who practiced metaphysics did not believe in ghosts and gods, and Xie Shang was no exception. He just couldn't understand it. This was completely beyond common sense. There was a big hole in the boat.
But it didn’t sink. What’s the reason?
For a moment, the atmosphere on the river was extremely mysterious, as if a strange phenomenon was watching this battlefield from the dark. More and more people knelt down and muttered words on each warship. It is no wonder that people who have been on the water for a long time
Is it okay to seek a living at the top?
To worship the Three Officials and the Emperor, you don’t have to worship Buddha Tathagata or Haotian God, but you have to worship the lake gods and water gods. The so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current governor. If you disrespect these gods, a wave will come and call you.
My life is over.
Although no one in the Jie Zhao navy knelt down, some people showed signs of fear. The Liangzhou navy invited Jiang Shen, so how to fight!
Because of this mysterious atmosphere, just when everyone thought that the Liangzhou warship was going to continue its rampage thanks to the protection of the water god, the Liangzhou warship re-extended the large oar that had been retracted before the collision out of the hole.
After rowing towards the river, only a few dozen feet away, he stopped his extremely fast momentum and hovered in the middle of the river.
Jiang Yan led his men out of the cabin unhurriedly. Although he looked indifferent on the surface, his ears were always buzzing. There was nothing he could do about it. The solidity of the ship's hull was one thing, but the impact
The huge backlash was another story.
As soon as he stepped out of the cabin, Jiang Yan was stunned. Why was it so quiet outside? Why were there so many people kneeling to him?
"Haha~~ General Yi Mo must be grateful to us for saving their lives, but there is no need to kneel down." A general smiled narcissistically at Jiang Yan.
"That's not right!" Another general frowned and said, "If you look carefully at their expressions, how can you see any hint of gratitude? It seems like they are praying to the gods. Could it be that?" The general suddenly slapped his head and suddenly realized:
"Could it be that seeing our galley battleship being damaged like this but not sinking, we thought it was because of the help of the God of the River?"
"Huh?" Jiang Yan thought. Thinking about it, this is really the case. People who don't know the inside story can easily think of other aspects, and feel quite ridiculous for a moment. Of course, no one in the Liangzhou navy would be arrogant enough to think that
They have the River God to protect their bodies. Although they also worshiped the River God before going on the expedition, this does not mean anything. It is purely a matter of habit. They all know the structure of their warships. It is normal for them not to sink, but it will sink if they hit it.
Not normal.
Shaking his head slightly along the way, Jiang Yan came to the bow of the ship and called forward: "I am Jiang Yan, the commander of the Liangzhou Navy. Please come out and answer the question."
"Father, what does this old man mean? Why did he stop to talk in the middle of the battle?" Han Fu turned around and asked unconsciously.
"Hmph! Won't you understand if you go and take a look?" Han Yong snorted coldly, and then called: "Sail the boat to the front and see what he says."
Amidst the sound of oars, the handsome ship sailed forward and stopped about two hundred feet away from Jiang Yan. The difference from the ship on the other side was that the ship on the other side rowed its big oar backwards, while he was rowing the big oar to prevent being caught by the river.
The flow rushes downstream.
Han Yong straightened his back and asked: "This general is Han Yong, the commander of the Qingzhou Navy of the Great Zhao Dynasty. You and I will fight until death, so what can we say?"
"Oh? Fighting to the death?" Jiang Yan said lightly: "Everyone here has witnessed the power of our warships. The force of a single collision can sink a fighting ship, but he only suffered some minor injuries. I am not boasting.
, there is absolutely no problem in destroying three or four of your warships with one warship. Is it possible that General Han is unaware of the situation at hand?"
Han Yong's heart moved, but he asked expressionlessly: "What does General Jiang mean by this? Is he threatening me?"
"Hahahaha~~" Jiang Yanchang laughed and said: "If General Han thinks this is a threat, then it is a threat!" After saying that, the laughter stopped, and he saw that Han Yong had a faintly angry face, and continued: "I
It goes without saying that if the fight continues, both sides will lose.
If you are injured, everyone will be buried in the belly of the fish, and no one can escape! What General Han wants is to capture Haimen, and he does not want this result. In this case, you and I might as well stop our troops and make peace. If you return to Qingzhou, if he
How about having another fight if you have the chance?"
Although Jiang Yan looked confident, he was actually complaining secretly. He knew his own situation well. Although the galley battleship appeared to be fine on the outside, under such a violent collision, not to mention Jie Zhao Dou.
The ships are all sea-going ships, and their sturdiness is far greater than that of ordinary river fighting ships. No matter how strong they are, they cannot withstand it. After this collision, many iron nails in key parts of the ship fell off, and cracks appeared on the keel.
It can be said that today's galley warships are just superficial. If they collide again, they will definitely perish together with the enemy. Instead of Jiang Yan's boast of being able to destroy three to four enemy ships, the Liangzhou navy has five.
Ten galleys, full of them
Even if they can only destroy a hundred battleships, then the other side still has hundreds of battleships, and they will all perish in the end. This is the result that Jiang Yan does not want to see. He does not want the navy officers to trade their lives with the opponent in vain.
, so a suggestion was made to temporarily stop the troops.
The most lacking thing at the moment is time. As long as he has a year or two to expand the size of the fleet and install the crossbows on the sides, he is confident that he can sweep the Jie Zhao navy, so he appears as a madman from the beginning, as desperate as his life.
A hard bump to shock the opponent!
Han Yong's brows couldn't help but frown. He was not a reckless person who did things regardless of the consequences. On the contrary, he was known for his delicate mind and good at judging the situation. The sharpness of the Liangzhou naval battleships deeply shocked him.
, although I don’t understand how the other party’s strange-looking ship can defeat several of my own battleships, I am also a little worried. Did the other party really invite the water god? Otherwise, how could it not sink?
Han Yong, like most people, also believed in the ways of ghosts and gods. He couldn't help but use his full strength again and looked at the dark sky to observe a large gap in the side of Jiang Yan's boat. He could clearly see it with his eyes.
The water waves in the gap were sometimes high and sometimes low, but they did not sink and hovered smoothly on the river surface!
It’s not that Han Yong didn’t understand why he kept the green hills and was not afraid of running out of firewood, but he also suffered heavy losses. One-third of his three hundred battleships were damaged, and he didn’t get any benefits. It was really regrettable to retreat in vain.
I am willing to do so, but it is quite difficult to decide at the moment.
"Humph!" General Jie snorted coldly: "It's still unclear who will win. How could General Han be scared away by that old man? If he returns without success, how will he explain to the king? Are you not afraid that the king will punish you?
