Ming Zuo

Chapter 904 The Battle of Tsushima Sea (4)

The one who led his troops to break through the defense of the Dongying people was Huang Fei, a well-known and powerful general in the navy.

He is Huang Long's nephew.

Huanglong had no children, so he was adopted.

This future famous anti-Qing general was supposed to inherit his uncle's official title after Huanglong's death.

But now Huang Long is alive and well, and has become a general in Xia's army, so Huang Fei came with him.

But unlike Huanglong, Huangfei prefers the sea.

He joined the navy.

Relying on family martial arts and good cultural background, Huang Fei quickly stood out and became the captain of the Cangshan Ship.

In this battle, he was in charge of leading the other three Cangshan ships and seven centipede ships, and was the squadron leader of the fourth squadron.

From the beginning of the battle, Huang Fei did not rush into the battlefield, but led his troops to cruise behind.

His actions once aroused the suspicion of his subordinates, thinking that he was afraid of the enemy and timid.

Fortunately, he usually has a high prestige in the army, so he suppressed different opinions.

Huang Fei knew better than anyone that their mission this time was not to eliminate how many Japanese people, but to find the location of the main force of Japan.

Therefore, it is meaningless to fight against Japan's Kohayafune.

Like a cunning fox, he hid far behind, always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.

When he saw that the No. [-] and No. [-] Squadrons had completely mixed up with the Dongying people, and the Dongying people had no time to look after him, Huang Fei knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come.

"Order all the ships to sail with full sail, ignore the enemies encountered on the road, and move forward at full speed."

The people below had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and they were all full of energy when they got the order.The eleven ships, like tourists on the battlefield, didn't care about anything, and swooped towards the east along the gap exposed by the Dongying people.

It wasn't until they rushed over that Dongying was shocked and realized that the situation was not good.

The small early boats in all directions abandoned the enemy in front of them one after another, and rushed towards the fourth squadron.Obviously, the Dongying people have also been ordered, and Xia Jun cannot find out where the main force is no matter what.

There are more and more Dongying people around the fourth squadron, and some of them have already come close.

"Don't worry about it, just move on."

Huang Fei is determined and has only one goal in mind.

Under his insistence, everyone put in [-]% of their strength, not only the sails were pulled to the fullest, but the sailors also swung the oars and flew up.

But even so, the Dongying people's boat rushed from the left and right sides after all, and quickly crashed into the formation of the fourth squadron.

"Squadron leader, a ship is trapped."

When Huang Fei heard the words, he turned his head and saw that a centipede boat had been forced to stop by the Dongying people, and then the small early boats from all directions surrounded it firmly.

Seeing this scene, Huang Fei certainly knew what would happen to the comrades on board.But at this moment, he could only harden his heart.

"Go ahead and tell the ships that whoever is entangled will fight on the spot, and good luck to himself."

Seeing more and more Dongying people boarding the centipede ship, and vaguely seeing the people on the ship fighting desperately, all the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom burst into tears.

If they could, they really wanted to turn around and rescue their comrades immediately.But they understand better that the task is heavier than Mount Tai.

They had no choice but to put away their tears, and tried their best to speed up the boat under their feet, and galloped towards the eastern sea line.

Not too far away, I only heard an earth-shattering loud noise suddenly sounded from behind.

A large cloud of black and red smoke rolled up on the sea surface with an explosion wave like a gust of wind, sweeping away the centipede ship and the small early boats around it.

Countless pieces of wood flew up into the sky, and then fell to the surface of the sea, like a rain of wood.

Apparently, it was the Xia soldiers on board who detonated the gunpowder at the last moment and chose to die with the Dongying people.

The No. [-] Squadron, which was struggling forward, could only silently raise its hands and salute to the positions where the comrades sacrificed.

They still choose to move forward without hesitation.

The obstruction of the Dongying people is also extremely crazy.

Not long after, another Cangshan boat was forced to stop.

The captain above looked at the Dongpu people rushing madly, without any fear.

"Tell the squadron leader, don't worry about us. We will definitely be able to hold back these Japanese pirates."

The messenger stood on the sentry tower and waved the flag for the last time towards the main force that was drifting away.Then he jumped down from the top, picked up the knife and fought side by side with his comrades.

Even though there are more and more enemies around, comrades in arms fall one by one.

But the only thing a man can do is die. If he serves the country faithfully, what is death?

The killing is crazy, and the smell of blood is enough to make people lose their minds.

I don't know how long the fight lasted, but only the captain and the orderly were left on the boat as soldiers of the Xia Kingdom.

Their bodies were also covered with scars, if they didn't rely on each other, they couldn't even stand up.

But they still held out their swords to the enemy, preparing for the final battle.

There are more Dongpu people who died around, and the corpses are layered on top of each other, showing how brilliant their battle results are.

The Dongying people who were still alive were all furious, and began to tighten the encirclement, preparing to cut them into pieces.

The Japanese knife was raised high, shining with a cold light, but it also reflected a black spot coming rapidly from a distance.

Immediately, it exploded under the feet of these people.

A good ship is torn apart as soon as it boards, causing all the people on board to fall into the sea.

For a while, all kinds of screams were heard.

However, these pitiful cries could not get any mercy, and one shell after another smashed all the ships around them to pieces.

The Dongying people who were still showing off their might just now have all become lambs struggling in the sea.

Seeing the boat coming out at a high speed in the distance, they waved their hands desperately, wanting to ask for help.But when they saw the hull getting bigger and bigger in their eyes, and rolling over their heads, they were completely desperate.

The ship rushing over belonged to the third squadron.

When the [-]th Squadron broke through the defense line and headed east, everyone understood their intentions.

At this moment, the Xia State Navy showed a superb sense of teamwork.

All the squadrons began to attack desperately, desperately blocking the return of the Dongpu people, just to buy time and space for the fourth squadron.

After the fourth column was entangled with the ship and fought desperately, they also waited for reinforcements.

Because they didn't know the situation on board, the third squadron had no way to screen carefully, so they could only use artillery fire to wash the ground, and sank all their own boats and the small early boats of the Dongying people.

When the sea area was completely quiet, the third squadron slowed down the speed of the ship and began to search for survivors on the sea.

"There's one there, one of us."

The orderly survived the catastrophe, and after falling into the water, he grabbed a piece of wood and drifted on the sea.

After the fierce battle, there were wounds all over his body.Coupled with the immersion in the frozen sea water, his consciousness has been dizzy, and he may let go at any time and fall into the vast sea.

Fortunately, he was discovered by someone on board, and several people jumped off and rescued him quickly.

He vaguely felt that he was surrounded by familiar people, which made the orderly soldier a little more at ease.

"Where... the others?"

While in a coma, he was still thinking about his comrades in arms.

But the others were speechless and fell into silence.

The messenger knew everything, and shed tears silently.

He vowed that he must live on, with the will of everyone on board.
