Chapter 391
: Leaked the Internet
Taizhou, Linhai City, Zhao Yingong stood on the shore and stared at the military camp not far away. From time to time, a sound of tricks came from the quiet night sky. The torches in the hands of the soldiers on the side were constantly shaking in the night wind. Suddenly, he felt a burst of bone-permeable loneliness, and he couldn't help but wrap the cloak on his body tightly, as if this made him feel better.
"General, the soldiers of Yuedu have already boarded the ship. It's getting late, please get on the ship!" A deep voice came from behind him. Zhao Yingong turned around and saw that the big ship under the river bank had its cables. The hull was shaking with the ups and downs of the river. With the light of the fire, you could vaguely see the figures on the bed shaking. It was obvious that the sailors were making the final preparations before departure. In the middle of the river, six or seven large ships were lined up, slowly flowing down the sea.
He drove away, and it was obvious that he was the one who landed at the last. He looked up at the sky and saw that a star on the horizon in the east was particularly bright. It was Taibai Star. This star would appear on the top of the horizon before dawn. Zhao Yingong knew that it was not early, so he would not be able to leave if he delayed it. He had to sigh and walk to the pedal. When he got on the boat, he turned around and looked at the military camp in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Rise the anchor, go to sea and go south, and go to Fuzhou."
The next morning, the Mingzhou Army camp gradually became noisy with the actions of the sergeant soldiers who were preparing to eat, but soon someone found that everything was normal yesterday, but Yuedu Camp was empty. When the officers rushed to the commander Zhao Yingong's tent to inform him, they were frightened to find that even the commander was not sure where the commander was going. Panic spread in the military camp like an infectious disease. The lieutenant Yu Hou was also panicked now, without the command of his superiors. These intermediate officers who were usually very arrogant did not know the soldiers who were running around in the battalion like headless flies. A few clever guys quickly went to the dock to check the ships and the granaries and military funds of the rear camp. When they found that the fleet had eight best ships and the granaries were empty, they immediately understood what had happened last night.
"Zhao Yingong, you evil thief! Zhao Yingong, you will definitely drown at the sea! Zhao Yingong, I want to eat your meat!" Vicious curses and cries in various tones immediately filled the entire military camp. The abandoned officers immediately became the target of venting their anger. More than a dozen officers who were usually strict with their soldiers were immediately driven to the open space in the camp. The soldiers picked up wooden sticks, stones or weapons that could be found and beat the officers who fell to the ground. Soon these unlucky guys died. But even though there was only a dead body on the ground, the crazy soldiers still waved the sticks and stones fiercely. Until they vented their anger in their chests and became exhausted, they threw down the bloody sticks and stones in their hands, leaving more than a dozen incomplete corpses on the open space.
When the anger in his chest was vented, the cold reality returned to the soldiers of Mingzhou. A lonely army was located in a different place, surrounded by hostile gazes. The granaries in the barracks had already reached the bottom. However, it was the cold winter month, and there was no substitute for the fields. Even the few more easy-to-attack walls were washed away by the blackmail a few days ago. The soldiers all had the idea of returning home. Soon, the soldiers began to compete for ships in groups, and some even began to snatch the livestock in the camp and slaughter them on the spot, and used them on the way back.
The fierce competition for food and food quickly turned into fighting, and fighting turned into fighting. They waved swords and guns at the robes of the past. They snatched the few remaining food and livestock. These were their hopes for returning to their hometown alive. Soon, this army, which was still majestic yesterday, became collapsed and broken down into dozens of small groups of different sizes. They carefully protected their little food and livestock, and tried their best to board the ship. The dock was in chaos, and people were constantly squeezed into the water from the springboard, and two ships that set sail were even colliding together. The water surface was suddenly filled with rage and scolding and asking for help.
"There is an enemy ship!" A sudden scream of horror came from the distance. The Mingzhou soldiers on the dock looked over according to the sound. They saw a shadow of ships appearing on the river in the distance. They couldn't see how many shadows were. Although everyone could not tell whether they were enemies or friends, it seemed that Zhao Yingong had no ally. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain his strange behavior last night. The soldiers on the dock paused for the ship even more fiercely. After all, this is their only way to live.
As the two sides approached, the fleet began to change its formation and lined up in a row. Obviously, the other party tried to block the Mingzhou army's ships as much as possible. Some sharp-eyed Mingzhou soldiers had seen the appearance of the seven or eight ships in front. They had already lowered their masts and driven by the oars protruding from both sides. The surface of the ship was covered with black shells, and a long horn stretched out at the bow of the ship, just like a huge sea turtle. Many Mingzhou soldiers who had dealt with the Huzhou Navy had recognized this as the unique "turtle ship" under Lu Fang. These Mingzhou soldiers who were well versed in this warship's powerful combat power immediately began to give up snatching the ships. Even those who had already boarded the ship shouted loudly and hurriedly jumped directly into the cold river and swam up the shore.
"This water is my world. General Chen sits at ease and see the methods of a certain family. If a boat escapes, it is a mistake." On the fleet's flagship, a short and fat man in black face said to Chen Zhang confidently. This person was Zhou Anguo, the leader of the Zhenhai Navy. After Lu Fang pacified the two states of Ming and Yue, he asked Chen Zhang and him to lead troops to attack Taizhou from the sea. However, he didn't expect that he would come half a step late, and it happened to be in chaos in the Mingzhou army.
Chen Zhang smiled reservedly. He knew that his military achievements were enough in the battle to pacify the two states of Ming and Yue. If he tried to seize the merits at this time, it would attract the jealousy of the generals in the Zhenhai Army. It would be better to take a step back and have a good relationship with the person in front of him. When he thought of this, he stepped back and said, "Since that's the case, the general will take a step back and see General Zhou defeat the enemy."
Seeing Chen Zhang so tactful, Zhou Anguo felt much better. This time he entered the army, because the reputation of Huzhou naval commander was too great, and the navy in Wuyongdu was almost blank. The opponent simply set up a fence and pontoon bridge on the water surface and refused to fight. So he had only transported food and fodder along the way, and had never fought a battle. Now that he saw a great achievement in front of him, maybe even the enemy chief Zhao Yingong could catch it, so he naturally had enough energy to grab this great achievement. Thinking of this, Zhou Anguo grabbed the big drum beside him, took the drumsticks, and whispered loudly while beating the drum hard: "The soldiers worked hard to kill the enemy, and they must not let anyone go."
