Chapter 1162 Zhao Gou Captured Alive
When the artillery of the Weihai Navy roared, Zhao Gouzheng danced with the beauties on the deck of the dragon boat with a glass of wine.

While dancing, he reluctantly peeled off the beauties' clothes, admiring the beauties' jade-like skin, hoping that his lower part would give some strength.

For many years, the following has always been ineffective, and many doctors have tried their best to cure Zhao Gou's impotence.

But as a man, as a man of high dominance, it's a shame not to hold your head up.

Seeing his courtiers and relatives spend a lot of time, hugging women one after another onto the bed, while he has a high-quality and highly skilled professional sleeping team, but he can't exercise his power because he can't lift his head.

How can this not make him feel resentful and depressed?

Even though he has given up the throne, there is still a small desire in his heart.

But again he was disappointed.

No matter how the senior technicians of the professional dormitory team dancing with him show their professional skills, Zhao Gou still can't get back the feeling he had before the age of 21.

He couldn't get back the frenzied impulse he had in those days.

So he couldn't shoot.

However, the artillery of the Ming army woke the dreamer with one shot, making him instantly lose the idea of ​​continuing to fire.

The roar of the Ming army artillery sounded like a thunderbolt, and it was extremely powerful. Zhao Gou was so frightened that he lost his urination.

The task of commanding the battle fell on Yang Cunzhong, a veteran who was over [-] years old.

Yang Cun's center was icy cold. Seeing that there were Ming army warships everywhere, he realized that he had fallen into a trap. The Ming army might have been waiting here for a long time.

But why?
Is someone a whistleblower?

Why was their route known to the Ming army?
There was nothing he could do, so he had to be full of energy, and use his last energy to command the Song army's warships to meet the Ming army's warships.

He was old, and he felt that he didn't have much time to live. In order to repay Zhao Gou's kindness and favor to him, he felt that even if he died here, it didn't matter.

Therefore, he was not timid, confronted the Weihai Division head-on, and fought to the death with the Ming army with the determination to die.

More than 20 main warships equipped with artillery in the Weihai Division took the lead, and used artillery to bombard the Song Army warships that were rushing to meet them.

After a roar, the powerful firepower of the Ming army gunboats sank and injured countless Song army warships.

Under the command of Yang Cunzhong, the well-trained navy of the Song army had planned to start a fierce jump-gang battle with the Ming army.

However, the gunboats of the Ming army were powerful, and a large number of warships of the Song army were sunk by the gunboats of the Ming army before they had time to carry out the gang jumping operation.

Yang Cunzhong had heard that the Ming army had a new type of firearm called artillery, which made great achievements in the Xiangfan Battle, but he had never seen artillery in a water battle and had no strategy for dealing with it.

Seeing the Ming army's gunboats advancing bravely, the Song army's warships retreating and even showing signs of collapse, he was anxious, decided to sink the boat, no longer commanded in the center, but went into battle in person, calling on the ships that could still fight to fight with him bravely and try to get close. Ming warships.

As long as you get close, you can start a real battle with the Ming army, you can avoid them from using a lot of artillery, and you can give full play to the advantages of the Song army in the battle of jumping gangs.

His flagship issued a call, ordering the remaining Song army warships that were still able to charge forward bravely, and charged with him to the Ming army.

However, his actions caused his ship to be attacked by the Ming army.

The Ming army gunboat fired a large number of artillery to attack Yang Cunzhong's ship. After more than a dozen shells hit his ship, his ship was seriously injured and eventually sank.

Yang Cunzhong faithfully fulfilled his mission - to protect Zhao Gou until his death.

He watched as the hull cracked and leaked everywhere, and watched as the soldiers ran and screamed in panic, or jumped off the boat with wooden boards to survive.

His personal soldiers tried to take him to other ships to continue the battle, but Yang Cunzhong already knew that this was a battle with no chance of winning.

So he stood there, sinking to the bottom of the sea with his ship.

Yang Cunzhong died, and Zhao Gou was helpless.

In order to show his status and enjoy luxury, Zhao Gou's ship was the largest and most luxurious in the entire fleet, and one ship was worth seven or eight ordinary warships.

There are four cabins on the deck. He and his beauties and servants live on the top floor. They can overlook the ship and the sea.

The other service personnel and the soldiers on the ship live on the lower floors. Some departments in the palace that serve him must be here, but the scale is slightly smaller, but although the sparrow is small and complete, this place is equivalent to It's a miniature version of the palace.

Some people cook for him, some people make his clothes, some people play music for him, some people make aromatherapy for him, some people heal his body, some people even keep pets for him, and so on and so on.

Even if he is fleeing, Zhao Gou must maintain his quality of life and never do anything that damages his identity.

After the Ming army warships surrounded the entire Zhao Gou fleet, they sank dozens of warships, captured dozens of warships, and almost wiped out the Song army fleet.

Zhao Gou's dragon boat was finally surrounded by the Ming army. When the Ming army surrounded the dragon boat, the soldiers of the Song army on the dragon boat were still struggling to resist, but in the face of the four sides of the Ming army, this resistance was futile. of.

Zhou Mancheng took a fancy to this ship and planned to capture it and dedicate it to Su Yonglin, especially for Zhao Gou's safety, so instead of bombarding it with artillery, he dispatched elite sailors to fight on the ship, kill the Song army escort, and The entire ship was captured intact.

Jumping gang warfare is not the mainstream tactics of the Ming army navy, but it does not mean that the Ming army navy is not good at jumping gang warfare. They rushed on the dragon boat in large numbers, and the Song army on the ship tried their best to resist, but faced the fierce Ming army battle formation. , was meaningless, and was soon defeated like a mountain, and was smashed into the cabin by the Ming army.

In the end, most of the guards on the ship died in the battle, and the remaining few surrendered decisively, knelt on the ground and stopped resisting.

The other personnel on the ship, such as servants, palace maids, clerks, musicians, etc., had no resistance, and the Ming army did not embarrass them. They were all captured in large numbers.

On the top floor of the cabin, the soldiers of the Ming army did not find Zhao Gou, and Zhou Mancheng did not find Zhao Gou here after boarding the ship himself, so there was a suspicion that Zhao Gou was not here.

However, Zhou Mancheng insisted that Zhao Gou was here, ordered to continue the search, and finally found the terrified Zhao Gou in the dirty thatched hut in the lowest cabin.

This guy was in a hurry when he was in danger. He ran all the way from the top of the cabin to the hut at the bottom to hide. He also changed into coarse clothes, smeared his face with dirt, and pretended to be a manure digger. Ming Jun found something wrong.

How can there be such a rich and old manure digger?
Sure enough, this guy is Zhao Gou.

He resisted with all his strength, and when he found that he couldn't resist, he knelt on the ground and burst into tears, begging Zhou Mancheng not to kill him, to give him a way to live, so that he could continue to live, as long as he could survive, he would give Zhou Mancheng everything.

Gold and silver treasures, food and wine, or a beautiful woman, give whatever you want, as long as he lives.

Seeing his terrified look on his face, Zhou Mancheng couldn't hide his disgust for him.

"What a foolish monarch who is extremely stupid. For this sake, he still has to be ostentatious. How much does it cost for such a big ship, so extravagant? How many soldiers can be raised with so much money? I spend extravagantly on you. Money used to support soldiers, will you fall to this point?"

Zhao Gou cried and replied tremblingly.

"Please don't kill me, General! Don't kill me! I'll give everything you want! I'll give everything you want!!"

No matter what Zhou Mancheng said, Zhao Gou just begged for mercy to live, and said nothing else. Zhou Mancheng's useless appearance was really unbearable.

So he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to tie Zhao Gou up, and because he didn't want to continue listening to him, he ordered a cloth ball to cover his mouth to prevent him from talking more.
