Chapter 960 Afterglow of the Empire (16)

Cannonballs cannot be unlimited.

Once it's over, what should I do next?

Such a huge navy just became a decoration?

After a few rounds of shooting, Lu Li ordered the frequency to be slowed down. After the Japanese got through the initial chaos, they gradually stabilized their position and tried to fight back.

Because Liu Ting broke the appointment again, all the generals of the navy hated him extremely.

Chen Lin played a semaphore, asking the wolf soldiers under his command who had already launched a charge to retreat.

After all, it was the command of the general. The ships at the rear of the team began to return, but the marines and sailors at the front couldn't do it. They had already fought the enemy at close range. If they pulled away suddenly, the losses would be even greater.

Precious time passed by little by little.

The sea began to ebb.

Lu Li didn't care too much, and ordered a thousand cannons to be fired again, so that the vanguard troops who were slightly behind had a chance to withdraw.

Another group of wolf soldiers left the shallow sea, and their lives were saved, but there were still more than 20 boats completely stranded on the beach.

Although Honda Zhongsheng couldn't figure out why the Ming army on land didn't make any movement and missed such a good opportunity to attack the city, but these are not important anymore.

Shuntian relied on the sea city gate to be opened wide, and thousands of Japanese pirates came out to besiege the allied forces' stranded ships.

The big ship commanded by Lu Li couldn't get close, and he could only watch helplessly as the bravest vanguard turned into a lone army.

On the side, Chen Lin's eyes were about to burst.

The loyal and brave soldiers I brought out from Guangdong and Guangxi were standing on the bow of the ship in despair, using knives, spears, fists, and teeth to desperately resist the Japanese who gathered from all sides.

One after another fell on the bow of the ship, bright red blood was scattered all over the beach, and their eyes were still open before they died. They were the first vanguards to bump into the Japanese.

These sailors are usually arrogant, but they are all in Chen Lin's robes. Seeing such a bloody scene, he can only stay overseas, helpless, and his eyes are bloodshot.

Everyone can understand that if they die on the battlefield in an open and honest manner and are loyal to the country, then there is nothing to say, but these wolf soldiers obviously don't need to sacrifice like this.

As a foreign general, Li Sunshin could see very clearly that these soldiers actually died at the hands of unbelieving allies.

"Liu Ting, you bitch!"

"I'm going to kill you, drink with my heart!"

Chen Lin's roar resounded across the ocean.

What exploits? He wants to use all his connections to sue Liu Ting to death!

Such an angry cry reached Li Shiyan's ears far away, and he responded with a sigh.

"For a while, we will do our best to meet this stranded remnant army."

"yes."

Li Chao's soldiers lying on the beach nearby responded.

The situation became more and more clear that it would be a dead end sooner or later to stay on the ship, and the wolf soldiers jumped off the ship one after another and retreated towards the inland.

Being continuously bombarded by artillery, the Japanese who were in a state of embarrassment would not let it go, and began to form formations to surround them all.

At this time, there was movement from the inland direction, bowstrings vibrated, firecrackers roared, arrows rained and projectiles fell on the Japanese camp, and immediately, dozens of warriors fell down, forcing a gap.

The besieged soldiers knew that the opportunity must not be missed, and immediately rushed out from the gap, joined forces with Li Chao's archers, and finally escaped.

Li Shiyan made a rough count, and he only rescued more than one hundred and forty sailors. They were all bloody and their weapons curled up!

Obviously, this is only a very lucky one. The rest of the wolf soldiers did not have such luck. They either died in the bow of the ship or were captured by the Japanese.

Lu Li listened to the reports from the left and right, and lost a total of 23 sand ships and number ships in this battle.

Among the stranded ships, there were only two warships of the Korean army and one warship of the Ming army. Relying on the sharp bows and arrows of the sailors, the firm will to fight, and the position slightly behind, they survived until the tide rose again, and staggered back to the ocean.

Can this matter be tolerated?

Lu Li couldn't express his emotions, but he hated Liu Ting thoroughly in his heart. This person was even more disgusting than Chen Yuzhong, the guard of Quanzhou who he met when guarding Nanyuan.

I wrote a letter to implore the navy to come to help, but I missed the opportunity to fight, and I didn't have any fighting spirit.

Afterwards, he forcibly quibbled, and once again invited the navy to launch a night attack with him regardless of the previous suspicions.

how?

Moreover, this person looks extremely loyal, dressing himself as an out-and-out main fighter!

It is even more impossible for Chen Lin, the sufferer, to let it go. After withdrawing from the army, he, who was already violent, was so furious that he asked to go ashore by boat and go to the Zhongxing division in Liu Ting camp to question the crime in person.

Can Lu Li not go in this situation?

If one of his own people has been greatly wronged, if the general does not protect and uphold justice, how can he make the big guys work hard?

As a result, Li Sunchen temporarily took over the foreign coalition fleet, and Lu Li took all the generals in a small boat to the Liu Ting camp to interrogate the Zhongxing division.

The two militaries have "cooperated" for so long, and everyone still sees each other face to face.

When Liu Ting saw Lu Li, before he had time to greet him, he saw Chen Lin flashing out from behind, grabbing the flag of the West Route Army Commander, tearing it in half on the spot.

This scene made all the generals in the West Road Army Camp stunned. They all knew that the navy had been wronged, and the hundreds of wolf soldiers brought back by Li Chaoren were the proof, but they did not expect Chen Lin, the commander of the Liangguang Navy, to react so violently. .

On the side, Chen Lin tore up the Shuai Qi and still felt bad. He didn't give any face, no matter what he did, he pointed at Liu Chen's nose and yelled, and greeted in front of all the soldiers from his mother to his wife and concubines to his daughter. over and over.

Liu Ting knew he was wrong, so he didn't scold him, but just slapped his chest to express his helplessness, and argued with grievances: "There are no generals, so I am alone."

What's the matter with me?

The generals of the West Route Army whispered in their hearts, feeling unbelievable. Last night, their lips were worn out. They were all saying that the opportunity must not be lost, and the failure will never come again, urging the admiral to send troops to attack the city.

But it's hard to say clearly, after all, it's the admiral, the immediate boss, not as confident as the navy, which is independent of the order of land warfare.

Seeing Liu Chen's heartbroken and innocent face, Lu Li sneered inwardly.

But Chen Lin couldn't listen to it at all, and said bluntly:

I am not interested in your explanation, let's go to Governor Xing together, and we will argue in front of Xing Junmen.

If the trouble got to this level, Xing Jie, a military sect, would not dare to fight with each other, so he would definitely ask the court for instructions about Ren Liuzhen's background, how to spread lotus flowers on his tongue, and even peel off his skin if he doesn't die.

At this point, the anger in Chen Lin's heart dissipated a little, and he also knew that it was impossible for him to kill Liu Ting, eat his flesh and sleep his skin.

"Why bother with the military sect, I will report to the court immediately, and ask the Holy One to make a decision." Lu Kai said.

He's not here to be a mascot.

There are very few generals who can directly talk to the imperial court and even the emperor. Regardless of whether Liu Ting is an admiral, he has the military envoy Yang Hao, the military officer Xing Jie, and the supervising army by his side. He is not qualified to write a letter unless the imperial court actively asks .

The naval division is different, they even have Shang Fang's sword, and they can also ask for rewards for Li Sun-shin, and the commander-in-chief Lu Li is even more simple in the emperor's heart.

"good!"

"The sage knows everything, and will definitely give justice to my fellow countrymen who died innocently in battle.

During the introduction, I invite all brothers to visit the old mother, wife and daughter of Admiral Liu in the Jiaofang Division, and it will not be in vain for my colleagues, hahaha. "

Chen Lin laughed, but his eyes were extremely serious, almost sinister.

The words were too heavy, and all the generals around did not dare to respond.
