A Clash of Gods Chapter 1311: Bad news again and again
The soaring flames reflected the surface of the river, and the soldiers all around could clearly see the sailors jumping off the ship. Among the fires, more screams came.
All the warships around have taken out the bamboo dragon and sprayed water on the burning ship.
Duan Shao looked pale.
Not long ago, he was still excited that the Feichan Ninja burned the Chu people’s granary. The excitement hadn’t passed yet, but his grain boat was probably in the fire, looking at the two that were falling apart in the fire. The ship, Duan Shao's brain is blank, at this time I do not know what to do.
The shouts, screams, and shouts all sounded together.
Dongqi ships tried their best to extinguish the fire, while others rescued the soldiers who fell into the water in the middle of the river.
Wait until Shen Tuluo came to his side, Duan Shao recovered and stared at Shen Tuluo, and immediately asked, "Dadu Du, that... those two are not food ships!"
Shen Tuluo did not speak, but just said: "Hour Highness, don't worry, advanced cabin!"
Duan Shao looked at the two sinking ships, turned around, and went into the cabin. He knew that there were sailors all around. Shen Tuluo had something to say in front of everyone. After entering the cabin, he anxiously said : "Dadudu.....!"
"His Royal Highness, the revenge of the Chu people came quickly." Shen Tuluo's face was also iron-green: "These two ships... are food ships, our food has been destroyed once!"
Duan Shao only felt that his legs were soft and almost paralyzed. He stretched his hands to support the table and supported his body, and closed his eyes, but he quickly said: "Dadu, this must not let the soldiers know... "!" But as soon as he spoke, he knew in his heart that it was impossible to hide this grain ship.
Not to mention that many of the soldiers knew that the food was on that boat, even if no one else knew it, when the meal was eaten, but no food was available, the soldiers could immediately understand that it was the grain boat that was burnt down .
"The Chu people are so mean." Duan Shao sat down slowly, his face pale, as if he had forgotten to send someone to burn the grain storehouse in Huize: "Their grain storehouse was destroyed, it must be irresistible, so before sending people To burn our grain boat."
Although Shen Tuluo was the first famous general in the world, the destruction of the grain ship was obviously an unprecedented blow to him.
A clever woman can’t cook without rice. Even if Shen Tuluo has an unrivaled strategy, but how can a sailor without food control it?
"How do they know that the two ships are grain ships?" Shen Tuluo looked cold: "Why did they both look at the two ships?"
Duan Shao instantly realized that the situation was not right, and asked, "Yes, how do they... how do they know that it is a grain ship?" He reached out and grabbed Shen Tuluo's arm: "Dadu Du, do you...other Is there still food on board?"
Shen Tuluo shook his head: "Although Chen’s ship is equipped with some food, a dozen people may be able to persist for ten days and a half months, but thousands of soldiers, a lot of money, are useless."
"Then... what can I do?" Duan Shao was anxious: "After a few hours, it is time to eat, let's... where do we look for food?"
Shen Tuluo sighed: "Lu Zheng took another fleet on the upper reaches of Huai Shui. If we can meet them in time, there will be some food there, but the minister knows very well that there is not much food there. Even if they meet, suddenly two thousand more people eat, it won’t last for a few days at all.”
"Then.....Let's go upstream and meet Lu Zheng immediately, and we can hold for a few days." Duan Shao said at once: "Dadu, please order quickly, we...we can't delay!" "
Duan Shao is very clear that once the soldiers knew that the grain ship was destroyed, the already depressed morale would completely collapse in an instant, even if no mutiny would occur, but this navy would disappear instantly.
Shen Tuluo shook his head slightly and said, "His Royal Highness, once we meet Lu Zheng, it will only cause the naval architect to collapse faster. According to the estimates of the minister, Lu Zheng can hold up for another ten days, as long as he can hold on, Huaishui is still under our control, and the food channels of the Chu people cannot be cleared."
"Then... what shall we do?" Duan Shao sighed: "The grains of rice do not exist, are we waiting here to starve to death?"
"You can only abandon the ship and land on the shore." Shen Tuluo said: "Maybe there is a line of life."
"Departure?" Duan Shao Yizheng: "Where to go?"
Shen Tuluo said: "On the south bank of Huai Shui, the Chu people have prepared for it, and the people have moved back. Even if we boarded the south bank, we will not get any supplements. Instead, we are likely to fall into the trap of the Chu people. So for today's plan, we can only head north to meet Puyang and meet Linghu."
"Puyang?" Duan Shao frowned: "Dadu, there are soldiers and horses of the Qinhuai Corps on the north bank. If you land on the shore, wouldn't you want to confront the Qinhuai Corps directly?"
"bypassing Xuzhou." Shen Tuluo said: "The Chu army now controls Linzi, and it is certainly not dare to divide Xuzhou. His Royal Highness can lead the generals to bypass Xuzhou and turn to Puyang. Linghu Xiang led the guard to Xuzhou. No worries, your Highness will be safe after meeting with Linghu."
Duan Shao frowned: "Dadu, you let this palace lead troops to go, then... don't you go?"
Shen Tuluo shook his head and said: "If the ministers go together, should these warships be abandoned? If they want to burn these ships, the ministers can't bear it, and the navy is the main force of my Daqi restoration, and the ministers must keep these anyway. Vessel," he paused before continuing: "Chen will leave some loyal and reliable sailors. The number is small, and the fish on the river is for food, and he can barely support the boat out of the Huai River."
"The great governor, Lu Zheng's navy is still there, and the food channel of Chu State is still in our hands. Why don't we go to negotiate with the Chu people?" Duan Shao laughed coldly: "Although they burned our food Ship, but their own granary was also burned by us."
Shen Tuluo shook his head: "Since the Chu people have succeeded, we know that we can't hold on, even if we go to talk, they won't accept it."
At this moment, when he heard that there was noise outside, Shen Tuluo frowned and got up to walk outside. Duan Shao also knew that something was happening outside the cabin, and he went out immediately. Seeing a group of people on the deck wrestling, Shen Tuluo came out and shouted, "Stop!"
This is how people separated, and many people were not well-dressed, and their faces were still painted.
"There are clear orders in the army, private brawlers, and thirty military sticks punished. Do you think the military law is nothing?" Shen Tuluo pressed the blade of the knife handle, his face gloomy.
The soldiers all bowed their heads, and the two burnt ships over there were mostly submerged in the water. The soldiers who knew the fire obviously knew that they were unable to return to the sky, and they no longer continued to extinguish the fire, but saved the soldiers who fell into the river. .
Duan Shao also frowned: "Why do you fight privately?"
One person came up and said: "His Royal Highness, the Governor, they said that the destroyed grain ship, we will continue to starve to death, this coward has a heart of defection, so... "He didn't finish his words, and someone immediately said: "His Royal Highness, the Governor, he spurs blood on us, we have no heart of defection, we just say that the grain ship is destroyed, worry... I'm worried that there will be no food to eat next, Just to say one more word, they slandered us for being rebellious!"
After this person finished speaking, many people spoke one after another, and the two sides immediately disputed, but Duan Shao and Shen Tuluo were present, but no one dared to start.
Duan Shao was sinking his heart at this time. He had expected that the destruction of Dingliang Ship would cause misfortune. He couldn’t think of what he was most worried about. Although these soldiers hadn’t been in trouble yet, they dare to talk blatantly. The grain ship, and the large number of people, obviously has a chaotic mind.
"You are all Daqi's warriors, who are deeply favored by the country, and now it is the time of the national crisis, and they are even handicapped." Duan Shao coldly said: "Don't you have the idea of returning to the country?"
The soldiers were speechless, and at this moment, they heard a cry of exclamation again: "Fire, fire!" But it came from Shen Tuluo's main battleship.
Shen Tuluo's complexion changed suddenly, rushed to the side of the ship, thinking about it or not, had already jumped from the ship's side and landed on the boat, and said sharply: "Come on!"
The sailor hurried to the warship.
Duan Shao has seen the silhouette of the warship swell, and vaguely sees the fire from the side window of the cabin, knowing that the fire is burning from the bilge, and is shocked.
He thought that after the Chu people burned the grain boat, he immediately fled, but did not want the group to stay.
Only the two grain ships were on fire, and everyone’s attention was attracted. The Chu people must take this opportunity to directly burn the main battleship.
He felt a chill in his heart, and he didn’t know how many people were sent by Chu Kingdom this time, but what can be seen in the dialect, except for the officers and soldiers of the Dongqi Water Division, where can he see Chu assassins?
Shen Tuluo boarded the battleship~IndoMTL.com~ The fire in the bottom warehouse was still not extinguished. Thick smoke came out of the cabin. The officers and soldiers were quickly spraying water into the cabin to extinguish the fire.
If fighting with the enemy on the water front, Shen Tuluo has no fear, and the East China Sea Division was under the command of being defeated by the army, but he was almost overwhelmed by the whole army. He couldn't think of a better way to deal with it. He was annoyed in his heart before the grain ship was burned. He should beware of the enemy continuing to set fire to other warships, but the two ships that were burned were grain ships, making him mistaken for each other's. The purpose is just a grain ship.
Fortunately, the fire was discovered in time, and the fire was not completely burned, but even so, this warship was also seriously damaged. After the fire was extinguished, Shen Tuluo entered the cabin to check, the smoke still did not dissipate, and there were many in the cabin The place has been burnt and dilapidated.
"Where does the fire start?" Shen Tuluo asked coldly.
"It seems...it seems like a bilge!"
"Where are the guards?" Shen Tuluo said angrily: "Who can enter the cabin and set fire?"
There are soldiers guarding the front and back of the cabin, and Shen Tuluo really can’t understand how the other party sneaked into the bottom cabin.
Suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and the two flew over and said: "Greatest Governor, the bilge....the bilge is flooding. Someone....someone destroyed the bilge!"
Shen Tuluo immediately descended into the bottom cabin, and saw that a soldier was blocking the hole in the bilge with wooden boards. There was a huge hole in the corner of the bottom cabin. At this time, the water came in from the hole, and The thick smoke in the bottom warehouse was so smoked that people could not watch their eyes. Shen Tuluo even smelled a smell of fuel oil, and glanced around, seeing the burning of the ship's deck in the bottom compartment is even more serious, and many places have been burned. After getting charcoal, I instantly understood it and muttered: "They set fire from the bottom compartment!"
