Chapter 247 The End of the Hero

The geographical advantages and proficient water warfare skills possessed by the White Lotus Sect rebels have no room to play in the face of the new army's stupid battles and technology.

After all the thieves who scuttled the boat in the water were killed, the remaining fire boats were easy to deal with for the small boats of the new army.

There are two long polemen on each small boat. When the fire boat approaches, they will use the long poles to support them, and then a soldier will throw a grenade on it.

Originally, this kind of fireboat was almost burned, and it fell apart immediately after the grenade exploded, causing sawdust to fall on the water.

The frontal fireboat new army is much more violent to deal with.

More than a hundred artillery bombarded dozens of fireships, even if the accuracy of the artillery on board was poor, it was easy to be tight.

After three rounds of bombardment in a row, Guo Yunbiao's carefully arranged fire boat array did not show anything, and there was not a single one left.

The only loss on the new army's side was that the recoil of the artillery caused damage to the decks of several tank ships.

"It seems that when we build our own warships in the future, we must pay attention to the selection of wood."

Zuo Menggeng was still thinking about the navy.

How the new army will go to the sea in the future must plan ahead.

Guo Yunbiao on Juyi Island was cold all over, as if he saw the coming of death.

"Guardian, what should I do?"

Zhao Si also panicked and just wanted to run away.

The fleet of the new army has circled around and returned to the north side.

At this time, it was more than [-] meters away from Juyi Island, and the entire island was under the coverage of artillery fire.

On the north side of Juyi Island, there is also a small island with a stockade on it, which plays the role of protecting the main island.Once the main island is attacked, the small island can help defend from the side.

But the problem is that the new army doesn't want to land on the island immediately, so the small island's defense role is lost.

Compared with Juyi Island, the thieves on the small island are more panicked.

Because the island is too small, you can see everything clearly at a glance, and it is so flat that there is no terrain to rely on.

It can be said that the White Lotus Sect thieves guarding above are basically cannon fodder.

Mao Yuanyi saw that all the ministries were moving in place, and ordered: "Fire the cannon."

Juyi Island at this time is larger than the area of ​​later generations, so it can accommodate more than six thousand rebels.

If it is such a small piece in later generations, it is true that one shell can kill hundreds of people.

The new army first bombarded the island with artillery. After the artillery fire, the island was in a mess and suffered heavy casualties.The temporary wooden camps built by the thieves were no different from paper-made camps in front of the artillery.

The surviving thieves were so frightened that they didn't dare to stay on the small island, and jumped into the water one after another to swim to Juyi Island.

Guo Yunbiao didn't think much of it when he watched the new army destroy the fire boat with solid bullets.

After all, it's not like he hasn't seen such a cannon before.

This is why he still has a glimmer of hope.

But now, when the new army replaced it with explosive bombs and swept across the island, he knew that there was no possibility of defending Juyi Island.

"Come on."

Guo Yunbiao was indeed a hero, once he saw that something could not be done, he made a quick decision, immediately took a few of Zhao Si and other cronies to the shore, jumped on the wooden boat and fled south.

As soon as they ran, the rest of the thieves no longer had the will to fight, and they also ran away one after another.

For a moment, the entire shore was vying for each other, and many people became extremely crazy in order to board the boat.

Anyone who dares to stop them will immediately swing their swords at each other.

Before the new army came, hundreds of people died tragically just because of the cannibalism.

Mao Yuanyi noticed that the thieves were about to run away, so she gave the order immediately.

"The second regiment is responsible for the pursuit, pay attention to maintaining the formation, and don't underestimate the enemy and rush forward. The fourth regiment takes over Juyi Island. If there is any resistance, it will be shot to death."

All the thieves who fled to Juyi Island are basically the backbone of the White Lotus Sect, and there will be no innocent people.

Therefore, for these people, Zuo Menggeng has already ordered, and there is no need to be merciful.

If these people surrender, they will all be arrested and sent to work as laborers, to do the most dangerous and arduous work.

If you do not surrender, then resolutely kill.

After receiving the military order, the new army divided into two groups, chasing the fleeing enemy all the way, while the other group surrounded Juyi Island.

"Blow up all the thieves' boats."

Liu Dacai saw that the thieves were crowded on the shore and scrambled for the ships, and he simply didn't pay attention to the firepower of the new army.

So what are you polite about?
The artillery of each ship was aimed at the beach, and under a single wave of artillery fire, more than a thousand rebels were killed, and even the wooden boat was blown to pieces.

The thieves were frightened, and ran to the island in a swarm.

Liu Dacai was not in a hurry to land on the island, but directed the artillery to blow up all the visible buildings on the island.

This time, the thieves who were still alive didn't even have a bunker. They ran to the east on the island for a while, were bombed and then ran to the west, and were bombed again.

After several blows, there are only two thousand thieves left.

"Call out, let them kneel down and surrender."

The soldiers of the fourth regiment took out their loudspeakers and shouted towards the island.

Hearing the order to "surrender on your knees and raise your hands not to kill", the thieves were stunned at first and didn't react.After another round of artillery fire, the will to survive was fully understood.

clap la la...

All the thieves hurriedly threw away the weapons in their hands, and raised their hands when they knelt down on the ground, fearing that the next wave of artillery fire would fall on their heads.

Liu Dacai saw clearly with the binoculars on the boat.

"Lao Cai, all the thieves have surrendered, let's go to the island."

Cai Jiachuan, the political commissar of the fourth regiment, hurriedly said: "We can't all go up. You sit here, and I will take people up to gather the prisoners."

Liu Dacai has no objection to his partner's cautiousness.

After a while, the fourth regiment separated more than a dozen ships and boarded Juyi Island with more than [-] soldiers.

Soldiers have long had experience in how to gather captives.

Order the prisoners not to move around, and then divide them into several areas, monitor the actions of the prisoners one by one, and escort them to the shore to stop.

The shore was open and unobstructed, and the prisoners had no weapons in their hands.It is absolutely unreasonable to dare to act recklessly.

But it was said that the second regiment's pursuit of the fleeing enemy did not go well at first.

Because of Mao Yuanyi's strict order, Hong Qi, the head of the second regiment, did not dare to disperse his troops, so he could only hug the regiment and follow the enemy far away.

The ships of the new army were big, so they were slow in the lake. Seeing the enemy running farther and farther, Hong Qi was very anxious.

While hesitating whether to let the boat catch up, political commissar Qiao Shuangcheng suddenly laughed.

"Old Hong, look quickly, the thieves have nowhere to escape."

Hong Qi hurriedly looked through the binoculars, and couldn't help being overjoyed.

It turned out that during the chase and escape, he had already arrived at the south side of Anshan Lake.

Although getting closer and closer to the shore of the lake, it seems that as long as they land on land, these thieves can escape.

But between the lake and the shore, there is a rotten mud pond of tens of meters.

This was exposed after the water level receded in winter, and it was absolutely impossible to sail.

"Guardian, what should I do?"

The thieves also saw the muddy pond, so they had to look at Guo Yunbiao.

Guo Yunbiao turned his head and watched the officers and soldiers lined up behind him, squeezing them all over without leaving any gaps.

Furthermore, the artillery of the official army can hit very far.Even if there was a gap, he didn't dare to force his way.

In other words, there is no way to go back.

Thinking of this, Guo Yunbiao became ruthless, pointing to the muddy pond in front of him and said, "Rush over, it counts as much as you can get out."

Then, he leaned over and picked up a board.

At this time, everyone knew that if they were caught, they would die, and they could only listen to him.

The thieves worked hard together, and the boat flew into the air, rushed directly into the muddy pond, and even slid out of it for a distance of more than ten meters.

Guo Yunbiao didn't care about his prestige anymore. After throwing the board into the muddy pond, he lay down on it, using the nine-ring sword as an oar, and rowed towards the lake shore.

The rest of the thieves, those with planks, followed suit.Those without boards are struggling in the mud.

But as he walked, the mud sank deeper and deeper, engulfing the thieves one by one.

For a moment, the entire mud pond was full of desperate howls.

Guo Yunbiao's scalp was numb, and he couldn't care less, he just wanted to run out quickly, away from this hell.

Hong Qi didn't expect Guo Yunbiao to be so ruthless at all, he didn't notice for a while, and hurriedly let the boat speed up.When he was two hundred meters away, he gave the order.

"Everyone, free fire."

Soldiers immediately rushed to the bow and opened fire on the thieves crawling in the mud.

Under the hail of bullets, even though they were far away, many thieves were still shot.

These guys had already worked hard in the muddy mud, and once they were shot, they were basically declared dead.

Hearing the sound of bullets piercing through the air, Guo Yunbiao's soul was filled with terror, and he worked harder.

Suddenly there was a resistance from his legs, which made him unable to move.

When I turned around, I realized that I was caught by a subordinate who was stuck in the quagmire.

Only the head of the man was still outside, and he yelled in horror.

"Dharma protector, I don't want to die! Dharma protector, save me!"

Guo Yunbiao couldn't take care of himself and shouted angrily: "Let go."

The man didn't listen, but just grabbed his trousers tightly.

Guo Yunbiao was extremely anxious, he raised his leg and kicked.

If it was on land, with his martial arts, this kick would be enough to crack a monument.Unfortunately, at this time, he was floating on the rotten mud pond, and he had nowhere to rely on, so he raised his kick, not only did not kick the opponent to death, but in the end, this foot was also caught.

"Bastard!"

Guo Yunbiao struggled twice but couldn't break free, and couldn't turn over on the small wooden plank, so he jumped into a rage.

"Zhao Si!"

He saw Zhao Si in front and hurriedly called for help.

Zhao Si looked back and saw that he was trapped. Just as he was about to come over, a bullet flew from a distance and hit Guo Yunbiao's lumbar spine.

Guo Yunbiao screamed "Ah", and immediately lost consciousness below the waist.

"Zhao Si, save me. For the sake of Burning Lamp Buddha..."

The thieves who grabbed Guo Yunbiao's feet had already sunk into the mire, and began to drag him down as well.

Guo Yunbiao never expected that his fame would end up like this.

He tried his best to reach out to Zhao Si, begging for a hand.

Zhao Si wanted to crawl over, but there was another gunshot in the distance.Coincidentally, it hit Guo Yunbiao's wrist, causing his originally raised hand to hang down feebly.

Zhao Si was still in shock, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly turned his head and crawled away.

Behind him, muddy water flooded Guo Yunbiao's jaw.

Just as he was about to yell at Zhao Si for his ingratitude, foul-smelling muddy water poured into his mouth.

Guo Yunbiao struggled hard, the faster he moved, the faster he fell.

In the end, a generation of tycoons became the fertilizer in the muddy water.
