My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 423 Landing on the beach, Gan Ning amphibious

On the towering ship's roof, the flag with the word "Wu" written on it suddenly lowered within the sight of the surrounding warships. The messengers on the ship waved the small flag cautiously to signal them.

"Surrender...surrender?"

The Wu warships floating on the sea, and the navy generals who were commanding or waiting for orders, were all dumbfounded.

Immediately, they hurriedly asked people to raise flags and inquire. In the end, the news was confirmed, and they had to accept this fact. However, some people were recommended by other aristocratic families and did not think of surrendering.

However, as Zhao Kui'an's trusted generals surrendered one after another, the only seven or eight Wu ships remaining on the sea faced several times the enemy. They either chose to turn around and flee, or lowered the flag of Wu and defected to Xia together with their generals.

On the sea, the Wu Kingdom's flagship sailed towards the Xia Kingdom's main ship in the distance. Zhao Kui'an had two broken ribs, and some blood flowed from his mouth and nose. He was carried by Yu Wen Chengdu by both hands, and came out of the ship here, and was finally thrown in front of Zhou Yu. , the weapons all around were drawn out and placed on his shoulders and neck.

On the Wu ship in the distance, the soldiers could only watch this scene helplessly. Some soldiers wanted to rush over to rescue them, but Zhao Kui'an waved his hand to tell them to retreat.

"Don't come here, go back!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the commander of the Xia Kingdom fleet in front of him.

"I didn't expect to be defeated in this way..."

"I also want to defeat you openly and openly," Zhou Yu was not displeased at all when the other party said this, but smiled and said: "But Xia State has too few ships, and if they are used up, they will only be at a disadvantage, so they can only resort to this strategy."

Zhao Kui'an raised his hands: "General, I'm honest, but I don't know what to do next."

"Follow my army and prosper!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kui'an hesitated. Zhou Yu looked at him, came closer, and patted him on the shoulder, "The king of Wu is like a puppet, controlled by a noble family. You are also from a noble family, so your vision should be further." Some, this kind of Wu country will perish sooner or later, doesn’t the general not want to find a way out for the people of the clan?”

"..." Zhao Kui'an fell silent over there. The reason was this. How could he not understand it, but he obviously couldn't decide yet. Seeing his hesitation, Zhou Yu laughed and said, "How can Jiangdong son hesitate? If you were loyal to the emperor of the Qin family and died for the sake of honor, everyone would still call you a loyal minister, but you are loyal to the emperor?"

Zhao Kui'an looked silently at the navy commander in front of him, who was much younger than him, and sighed: "What the general said is not unreasonable." He seemed unwilling to say any more, and looked into the distance: "You can surrender to Xia Kingdom, Xia Kingdom Can the emperor really tolerate me?"

"Haha! I will vouch for you, and I will make sure that you and your family are safe in front of His Majesty!" Zhou Yu originally had an open-minded temperament and a heroic spirit. "Leave your life and watch the world unite and make the world a success." The prosperous age must be so magnificent!”

Hearing this, Zhao Kui'an lifted his cloak, raised his hands, and bowed down: "Zhao Kui'an, the general of the navy of the state of Wu, has paid his respects to the governor."

"Get up, gather your fleet, let's go to Minggang."

"Please rest assured, Commander, the general will definitely take Minggang!" Zhao Kui'an asked the soldiers to bandage his injuries. He then asked the soldiers on the Wu ship docked on one side to wave flags again and pass the message. He suddenly turned his head and said Another incident occurred: "In fact, at the beginning of the war, I heard that Prime Minister Gu Chongwen had traded the boundaries of Minggang to the Japanese on the East China Sea Islands, allowing them to enter at will, on the condition that they send troops to entangle Xia's ships. The official document has been The ship commander has sent out, and maybe the Japanese ship will arrive in a few days!"

I had read some letterheads before this news, but I didn’t expect that Wu Guo’s official document had already been sent out.

Zhou Yu and Yuwen Chengdu frowned at the same time. In their world, no one had ever done such a thing.

"In exchange for land... If you can endure such a shame and humiliation, it doesn't make sense for the Wu Kingdom not to perish!"

Zhou Yu put one hand behind his back, walked to the side of the guardrail and looked at the sea where the fighting gradually stopped, with a serious look on his face: "Send a fast horse to Luyang immediately to inform you of this matter!"

Angry words floated in the wind.

By this time, ships of all sizes on the sea had basically learned about Zhao Kui'an's surrender. Following Zhao Kui'an's flag signal again, ships gathered one after another towards this side.

On Gan Ning's side, he rushed back on the ship and jumped on board without waiting for the ship to stop. He had an unruly character, holding a knife in each hand, his leather armor was covered in blood, and besides a pair of eye-catching swords around his waist Outside the bell, there is a head hanging.

Zhao Kui'an took one look and turned away. It was none other than Sun Qi, the fierce general he sent out before. He was so brave that no man could have deserved it. How come he was beheaded without even hurting a single hair on the opponent.

Soon after, there were nearly thirty warships on both sides of the sea, sailing in dense numbers, approaching Minggang, which was several miles away.

The sun is tilted to the west, and the sunset rays shine on the largest port in the Kingdom of Wu. Many porters on the ferry are like a colony of ants loading and unloading goods. Most of them are the arrows needed for the crossbows, as well as a large number of arrows, which are all from Sheng Sheng. Kang mobilized them to replenish the fighting ships at any time.

The scout boat cruising outside the ferry was nervously waiting for the battle a few miles away. However, what he saw was nearly thirty large ships approaching Ming Port.

The outlines of more than a dozen sea-going ships are obviously unique to Wu.

"Quick! Go back...quickly!" The scout boat started paddling quickly.

The setting sun is like a ray of clouds draped over Ming Harbor. The bumpy waves are beating against the bridge of the ferry. The sound of rushing water merges with the noise along the coast.

The sound of crashing waves reached the big tent.

The Shipbuilding Department of the State of Wu is located here. It is now wartime, and it has been taken over by a general and his two tribes, about 4,000 people.

The general had just read the shipping department's account books for the past six months. Immediately, he stared at the candlelight on the desk for a while. The firelight illuminated the outline of his square and serious face. The length of his mustache and beard already showed that he was not young.

"It's almost dark, is there any news?"

After being distracted for a while, the general named Lu Jin asked the guards outside the tent to bring a basin of cold water, and splashed the cold water on his face. His tired expression improved a little.

"Go back to General, there's no news yet."

Ever since Kang Chengqian escaped from the Wu State and surrendered to the Xia Emperor, the Wu State in the southeast corner of the Huai River was really in trouble. When the Xia soldiers crossed the river, ships might come from the north at any time, just like Mount Tai collapsed overhead. It weighs on everyone's mind. As a general guarding Minggang, one can imagine the pressure he faced.

Lu Jin washed his face, dried it and walked out of the house. He looked at the darkening sky, which was gradually becoming brighter with stars and moon.

"Why haven't you come back yet? Could it be..."

His words stopped at his lips, and the scout who had delivered the order hurried back from outside. He didn't have time to salute, so he half-knelt and held his hands in front of him, speaking in an urgent tone.

"General, a brother discovered General Zhao's fleet on the sea and came towards us..."

Lu Jin couldn't help but find it funny, "It's almost dark, shouldn't he come back to rest after the battle? What nonsense!"

The scout knew that he had spoken in a hurry, and quickly said again: "But there are nearly thirty warships coming back, and there is no Wu flag on them."

"what?!"

Lu Jin's eyes widened, and he immediately left the scouts behind and strode forward, asking his guards to lead the horses over. In the direction of the ferry ahead, in the dim light of the sky, there were already shouts of fighting.

The ship that came riding the wind and waves rushed towards the six-mile-long ferry. The Yaqianxia navy soldiers had been staying in the cabin. At the moment, they spat into the palms of their hands, rubbed them vigorously, and tightened their grip on the handles of their knives and spears. .

The moment the hull pushed through the water waves, hit the bridge of the ferry, or rushed directly to the coast, the hull shook violently, and the ropes of the baffles on both sides were cut off, revealing the blocked hatch at the back.

When the Wu soldiers who had heard the movement gathered here, eight warships lowered the hatches on both sides in unison!

"Zhu Erlang——"

On the bow of the ship, Gan Ning grabbed the rope and roared. He threw a spear in his hand and pierced the Wu soldiers who were rushing forward in the distance. The moment he nailed him to the ground, he swung the rope and drew a long long path from the bow of the ship. Trajectory, fell to the shore, looking at the Wu soldiers rushing in front of him, he smiled evilly and pulled out the ring-headed sword and a Japanese sword from his waist, and drew the shadow of the sword in his hand.

Then point forward!

"For the unification of the mountains and rivers, kill——"

The hatches on both sides of each warship lowered, and hundreds of figures, armed with shields, crossbows, and spears, swarmed out. Hysterical shouts suddenly echoed through the ferry.

The soldiers of the Xia Kingdom who rushed out of eight large ships, without any unnecessary words, stepped on the shallow water and rushed directly towards the soldiers and horses of the Wu Kingdom that came up.

There was no formation, no strategy, just a direct collision.

The sound of crazy fighting reached its peak in an instant, making people's hair stand on end. The two thousand Wu soldiers who were the first to charge only lasted for more than ten seconds and were chopped down and scattered. The bloody thread kept falling to the ground in front of everyone's eyes.

In Ming Harbor, gongs were ringing intensively, and the soldiers delivering the order shouted: "The enemy is attacking——"

Lu Jin led the remaining two thousand people to intensively deploy defenses. The horses and wooden fences were all existing, and they were connected by the houses near the ferry.

When more soldiers and horses from Jiangdong arrived, crossbows and crossbows had been set up. Lu Jin walked among the crowd and encouraged the soldiers, "Don't be afraid, try your best to shoot with crossbows. They can't rush over. Hold for two hours, and there will be reinforcements." Come here."

He walked to the next one and said similar words again.

On the distant coast, dense footsteps were spreading towards this side, and all the muscles in his body were tense at this moment. It was said that the Xia army was brave and good at fighting, and now he was about to face them head-on.

"Bows and crossbows are ready, shield soldiers and spear formations are coming forward, prepare -" His voice sounded hysterical.

In the darkening sky, eight thousand soldiers of the Xia Kingdom rushed towards this side with a thick smell of blood. Among the crowd, a Xia Kingdom general with a red cloth on his head and holding two swords charged forward. Staring at Lu Jin.

The body suddenly jumped into the air.

"General Wu, give me your head!"

Two swords flew out in the air——

……

Wolf smoke and fast horses sent messages, and the news of the fall of Minggang rushed towards Shengkang from the official road and the ferry. Gu Chongwen, Fan Li, and Xiao Zhiyi were still racking their brains at this time, thinking about the west, fighting through Yaozhou, and blooming everywhere. Then he killed the two Xia armies in other prefectures and counties.

When the information from Dong Ming Gang came, I felt bad all over. I was holding the paper with trembling hands, my scalp was numb and I stood there blankly. My mouth was slightly open and I couldn't say a word for a long time.

……

The news about Minggang's deal was sent to Luyang five days later, on the second day of September, which was almost the beginning of autumn.

Su Chen looked at the news sent from the sea and frowned.

When the hatred between the two lives was superimposed, he pressed the paper and slapped it on the desk. The entire table was instantly torn into pieces, with pen, ink, paper, inkstones, books, and memorials scattered all over the floor.

"I will kill these three tribes!"

All around, the eunuchs and maids were so frightened that they almost stopped breathing.

　Two updates and 7,000 words. Very few people have spoken recently.
