Chapter 774 Broken Tail
Zhang Shun held the railing in front of him tightly. This place was where he commanded the warships to gallop across for many years. This section of the railing has been touched by him. But today, this warship that has followed him for many years will end its glorious life.
The hand was slightly hard, and with a click, he broke the piece directly, held it in his hand, and walked towards the lower level.
Every floor was full of sailors, and everyone looked at this big partner reluctantly.
Zhang Shun waved his hand and smiled: "The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come. This old guy is old and sleeping in the water is the biggest compliment to him. Everyone doesn't have to be sad, it's not possible. How long will you have a brand new and best warship? Retreat! ”
The sailors walked towards the ships behind them one by one.
Zhang Shun and several confidants went straight to the bottom cabin.
This warship is indeed very old, with traces of repairs everywhere.
Standing in the middle of the bottom cabin, Zhang Shun tried a little hard on his feet. With a muffled sound, the bottom plate immediately broke a big hole. He waved his hand and a big man behind him walked over and waved the axe in his hand. After a few axes, the hole suddenly expanded a little, and the river water came out from below.
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Shun made several big holes under the bottom cabin.
When they got on a deck, the entire warship had obviously sunk about a foot.
In front of this slowly sinking warship, the other ships were already filled with various flammable materials, waiting for the final order to be issued.
Returning to look north, there was a tall figure standing on another warship, which was Yan Yi.
At this moment, he was doing the same thing as Zhang Shun.
As predicted, there was a southeastern wind blowing tonight, which blew from the river, blew through hundreds of ships of all sizes inside the port, and then headed all the way to the depths of the inland.
When the fire is together, the wind helps the fire, everything will be irreversible.
The sound of whimpering horns came from his ears. Zhang Shun turned around. In his vision, more than a dozen Zhang Manfan's warships were brightly lit and were slowly coming from the downstream. They were the turn of the day in the past few days. Zhong Wuyang's warship returned from patrolling the river.
The horn is a signal and a command.
"Immediately, Zhang Shun ordered.
A ball of fire flashed over the warship in front of him. The small flame turned into a flame as big as a foot basin with just a blink of an eye. It was so thunderous that the small flame could not be covered. The momentum spread rapidly to the entire ship.
"Retreat!" Zhang Shun turned around and walked towards the ship behind.
More than 300 warships of all sizes are moored together. At this moment, under the arrangement of those interested people, balls of fire are burning after balls of fire at those important nodes, but only a small number of pieces of fire are burning. In a short while, the entire harbor was illuminated by fire.
The southeast wind drives balls of flames, and a bunch of Mars flew from this ship to that ship, and in a blink of an eye, a band of fire formed, sealing the entire harbor.
The harbor was in chaos.
The sound of the warning gong was heard throughout the night, and countless sailors woke up from their sleep, rushed out of the cabin, running around like headless flies.
The ships on the periphery quickly untied the cables and began to retreat towards the center of the river.
But the outside was full of warships from the Zhong family, Yan family, Zhang family and other places from Yuezhou. When they were docked, Chen Yan's selfishness was now trapped in them. A twisted rope around the neck.
These warships that were prepared and easily retreated for a certain distance, and after they joined the warships of Zhong Wuyang who had returned from cruising, they showed a hideous face to the warships in the harbor.
The catapult loaded on the ship smashed stone bullets into the harbor, without aiming at it at all, just adjusting the range.
When Chen Yan rushed back, the fire outside had already illuminated half of the sky, and dozens of warships were burning with peeling.
Looking at all in front of him, Chen Yan felt that he was burning inside. He opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood spurted out. His body shook and almost fell to the ground. The scene in front of him was like a father watching his hard-working son being tortured to death in front of him. "Zhong Wuyang!" He roared and looked at the figure who was commanding the warship to launch stone bombs and rockets on the river in the distance. "General Chen, what should I do now?" someone asked in panic.
Swallowing the smell of blood in his mouth, Chen Yan flew up and flew from the innermost ship to the periphery. "Follow me!"
The officers who were not sure of this followed Chen Yan to the burning line of fire.
"Shipwreck, shipwreck!" Chen Yan shouted loudly, picked up a big axe desperately, rushed into the bottom of the big ship that had not yet been completely burned, wielding the big axe, but In a few seconds, a big hole was dug out at the bottom of the big ship, and the river water immediately spurted out.
His subordinates immediately understood and led their subordinates to grab other ships, and began to clear out a fire line before the fire spread.
After all, there were many people and great power. In a moment, several warships were directly sunk, and between the line of fire and the warships in the harbor, river water about dozens of steps wide was exposed.
Save the soldiers to protect the commander.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
Totally give up the warships that cannot be kept on the outside and strive to keep the warships that can be kept on the inside.
The more you rely on the inside, the better and more advanced the warship. Of course, it is also the warship of Chen Yan's direct confidant.
"General Chen, the governor of Linghu County is here!" Chen Yan turned his head and looked at Linghu De standing on the shore under the raging fire.
At this time, he had completely calmed down, "You continue to build the isolation belt here, and you can protect as many ships as you can!"
"Abide by the order!" br>
Chen Yan wiped his face, looked at the burning river again, and turned around and headed towards the shore.
Linghu De's eyes were full of shock. This was the first time he saw such a fire on the river. Even if the water was close, he could not put out the flames. He could only watch the warships. Struggling in the flames.
"How many ships can be saved?" Linghu De asked when he saw Chen Yan walking towards him with a dirt face. "It would be nice to be able to keep one third!" Chen Yan.
"Why do they want to turn against the water?" Linghu De pointed at Zhong Wuyang and others on the river surface who were still attacking the harbor.
"There is only one possibility, that is, these people colluded with Director Wang!" Chen Yan said without hesitation: "Otherwise, it would not make sense why they attacked us. County Governor Linghu, how many troops can you mobilize? , how many powerful crossbows can be used, and catapults? ”
"What does General Chen want to do?"
"Zhong Wuyang dared to attack us, and must have been connected with Director Wang and the others. I guess as soon as the sky dawn, Director Wang's large army will arrive here in order to completely destroy us For the fleet, we must prepare for defense around protecting the remaining warships in the harbor. Our ship cannot go out, but we cannot let them in!” Chen Yan said.
Linghu De suddenly realized.
Even though there are only dozens of warships left now, they are always better than nothing.
And although there are no ships now, at least these sailors have basically withdrawn. In time, it is not impossible to build some warships.
