The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 735

"What's going on? What's going on here?" Zhuo Shengtunyuan looked at the black shadow in disbelief, and trembled involuntarily.According to intelligence, there are indeed only a thousand warships left in Cao Jun's navy, and they have basically been requisitioned by them.

But what happened to the fleet that appeared in front of them?At a glance, there are at least 2000 of these ships.Although there are many civilian ships mixed in, there are still more than 1000 ships that can be used for combat.

If his own Dongyang Navy is still there, Zhu Shengtunyuan is not afraid of these ships at all.But now they have nearly 10 horses, crowded on more than 1000 ships, which not only makes the ships unable to be flexible and fast, but even worse, many offensive and defensive equipment have been dismantled to make room for more soldiers.

The reason for being so bold is that Zhu Shengtun's raw materials have locked the opponent on the water, and he has no strength to fight.But the fleet that appeared now broke his plan at once.

At this time, the two sides were getting closer, and Zhuo Shengtunyuan finally saw the opponent's flag with the word "Wu" written on it, and he immediately understood that it was the navy of the separatist forces in the south.

After confirming the other party's identity, Zhuo Shengtunyuan immediately felt a little relieved.The Dongyang Army has no enmity with them, so they won't risk a huge loss to fight them, right?

Therefore, Zhuo Shengtunyuan immediately ordered the ships to stop advancing, and was ready to send envoys to negotiate.

But at this moment, the opponent's ship suddenly moved and rushed towards them.

Zhu Shengtunyuan was stunned, and quickly ordered the ships to prepare for battle.Soldiers who can drive ships are not from the navy after all, and they are not proficient in naval warfare.The reason why the army was able to sail away was that they were islanders. Many of them were fishermen and had the ability to sail.But as for naval battles, it's not their specialty.

At this time, the Haizhou navy on the opposite side was watching the Dongyang fleet with excitement, and many civilian ships accompanying them even shouted the slogan of "revenge" loudly.

Lian Haiping stood on the bow of the boat with a white cloth tied on his head. At this time, he was not only trying to defeat these Dongyang people, but also for the blood feud back then.According to an ancient saying passed down from generation to generation by the Lian family, if you see a Dongyang person, you must kill him.Now there are [-] Dongyang people in front, how can he not kill them?There are also civilian ships that come with the boats, most of which are descendants of the Dongyang people who ruined their families. Now that they know the whereabouts of the Dongyang people, they try to get ships, hire people, and take revenge with the army.

When the Haizhou navy approached the opponent, countless stone catapults began to be fired, and huge stones fell hard on the Dongyang fleet.On the crowded deck, there was no way to avoid it, and the Dongyang Army was smashed to a pulp, which was horrible.

Xun Shengtunyuan knew that they were not opponents, and now he could only fight for casualties and rush into the opponent's fleet. As long as he could fight hand-to-hand, he was confident that he could crush the opponent with a hundred thousand troops.

However, the Haizhou navy did not contact them. After some bombardment, they immediately retreated slowly, keeping a certain distance from the Dongyang army, and continued to use catapults to destroy Dongyang ships.

At this time, it is really cool to torture and kill Dongyang people. As long as one enemy ship is sunk, dozens of Dongyang troops will struggle in the water. Salvage Dongyang people who fell into the water.Trapped it, pulled it to the side of the boat, hacked it to death with a knife, cut off its head, threw it into the boat, and then drove to the next target.

"Quick, don't worry about those small boats, speed up and rush out of the river mouth." Zhu Shengtunyuan shouted sharply, asking the bannerman to pass the signal to the whole army, and try to break out of the encirclement.As long as they can rush out of the estuary and into the sea, they can spread out a little to avoid intensive blows from catapults.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the Dongyang Army finally rushed out of the river mouth and faced the vast and boundless ocean despite huge casualties.Zhu Shengtunyuan immediately ordered the army to disperse immediately to avoid the bombardment of the opponent's catapults.

However, the ship is too heavy, and the Haizhou navy can easily chase it up and launch an attack not far or near.The Dongyang Army, which doesn't have many long-range weapons, can only sail eastward desperately.However, the scattered ships were surrounded by countless enemy ships and bombarded to pieces.The Haizhou navy seems to have made up its mind, and it slowly ate away at it step by step.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Shengtunyuan couldn't help but turn pale. If this continues, the whole army will be buried in the vast ocean if they fail to reach the country.

"Order the entire army to keep only enough fresh water and [-]-day rations, and throw away all the rest of the supplies." Zhu Shengtunyuan gritted his teeth and ordered immediately.He must lighten the burden on the ship as soon as possible so that he can escape at a faster speed.

It didn't take long before the Dongyang fleet finally got a lot faster.But it was still not as fast as the Haizhou Navy's. The opponent's warship only had five or sixty people, but Dongyang's ship was crowded with hundreds of people, which was seriously overloaded.

After driving for another distance, Zhuo Shengtunyuan saw that he still couldn't get away from the opponent's pursuit, and immediately ordered all the injured soldiers to be thrown into the sea.At the same time, his eyes swept across the densely packed crowd on the deck, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but then he issued a cryptic order to the officers of the ships.

Dongyang people didn't seem to have any resistance to this harsh order. In order to survive, there was nothing they couldn't give up.So, amidst the yelling and begging of the wounded soldiers, the Dongyang people threw them into the sea without hesitation.

But even so, the speed of the ship has not increased much.The Dongyang people, who were already red-eyed, immediately set their eyes on their comrades in arms.As long as half of the people on board are cleared, he can escape.

At this time, all the generals on the ship seemed to have disappeared.I don't know who was the first to slash at the comrades around him, and an internal strife broke out on the ship.Dongyang people fought each other like enemies, the whole deck was in a mess, with corpses and blood all over it, but the fighting crowd still did not stop.

In the end, after clearing out most of the people, those generals who had disappeared suddenly appeared on the deck and stopped the killing of everyone.When everyone came to their senses, they realized that the originally densely packed deck had become very sparse now.

Just when they were panicking, the generals carefully announced their innocence, and at the same time ordered them to throw their bodies into the sea as soon as possible, otherwise if the enemy catches up, everyone will be finished.Only then did everyone realize, yes, now that the number of people is reduced by half, isn't their boat running faster?With joy for the rest of their lives, everyone hurriedly threw their former comrades overboard.All of a sudden, the entire surface of the sea was covered with corpses, and the sea water in a radius of more than ten miles suddenly changed color.

Sure enough, after the burden was removed, the speed of the ship was finally much faster, and it began to slowly surpass the speed of the opponent.

However, when everyone cheered endlessly, they saw a sail shadow suddenly appearing on the sea level ahead, slowly approaching them.
