Chapter 1435 Farewell to His Majesty
King Hancheng continued to divide his troops to resist the Dongyi Navy who wanted to break through the defense line of the Great Zhou Navy. He completely ignored that the main warship had tilted slightly to the right and ignited a fire. He completely ignored that Du Yulang had sent more people to board the Great Zhou Navy. The main battleship wants to kill him, the commander.
At this time, on the main battleship, the wet corpses of enemy soldiers and the corpses of our own soldiers could be seen everywhere.
King Hancheng was also covered in blood, and his left hand was chopped off by the enemy general who had boarded the main warship of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Zhi Neng was temporarily wrapped in a cloak, and the blood kept dripping downwards. The pain made him hold on to the sword tightly. Handle, almost unable to straighten up.
"Your Majesty, our crossbows and arrows have all been shot! We can't stop it!" A young naval general hurriedly ran towards King Hancheng, whose face was covered with blood and was raising his sword to kill the enemy. He knelt down on one knee, " The fire on our main warship is too great. The enemy will destroy the hull after boarding the ship, and I'm afraid it will sink soon! Get on the boat and leave quickly! The general will be waiting for you, and we will never retreat until the last moment!"
King Hancheng endured the severe pain and walked quickly to the right. He glanced at the Dongyi Army who was about to break through the navy's defense line. Then he staggered towards the left and saw that Dongyi's warships had already broken through the defense line. .
King Hancheng turned to look at the main warship of Dongyi Kingdom's navy, which was still commanding the navy's warships to launch an attack, and his heart skipped a beat... and he made up his mind.
To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first!
As long as Dongyi's main warship sinks and its commander dies, Dongyi's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
This ship is no longer good. Instead of letting it sink, let's make the best use of it!
King Han Cheng gave the order loudly: "Send the order! At full speed... move forward and ram into the Dongyi Kingdom's main warship!"
"Your Majesty!" The young navy general's eyes widened, but he hesitated for only a moment. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let's go first! I'll crash the ship!"
King Han Cheng shook his head: "As long as I am standing on the bow of the ship alive, Dongyi Kingdom will not think that we will be so decisive, and will not take precautions in advance!"
With tears in his eyes, the young general nodded, and immediately shouted the order, "Send the order! Advance at full speed and ram the Dongyi main warship!"
"Send the order! Go forward at full speed and crash into the Dongyi main warship!"
"Send the order! Go forward at full speed and crash into the Dongyi main warship!"
The order was shouted and passed down at an extremely fast speed. The navy officers, who were holding the big oar tightly and soaked all over, knew that this collision... they would die!
But...their fishermen are behind!
They can't retreat!
"Turn the ship around! Charge at full speed!" The young general in charge of the oars was covered in sweat. He walked back quickly and shouted hysterically, "Send people to block the gap on the right side immediately. Everyone stands to the left. , Keep the hull straight! Quick, quick, quick!"
Above the sea, the huge ship of Dazhou with flames turned around...
The navy officers rowing the giant oars in the cabin knew that this was a journey with no return, but they could not hesitate. They also knew that this might be the last thing they could do in their lifetimes with all their strength. Each one of them mattered. Ya roared, every movement seemed to squeeze him dry, and rushed towards the direction of the Dongyi Kingdom's main warship.
Du Yulang was not a general who would sacrifice himself for others. When he saw the main warship of the Zhou Dynasty turning around and rushing towards their group of Dongyi ships, he also saw King Hancheng standing on the bow. After understanding what King Hancheng was trying to do, I thought that King Hancheng was trying to lure other warships from the Dongyi Kingdom to fight.
The corners of Du Yulang's lips curled up, and he immediately ordered: "Let all the bows, arrows and crossbows shoot at the main warship of the Zhou Dynasty. Whoever can hit the King of Hancheng will be the first to win!"
But seeing that the Great Zhou warship was moving at full speed and seemed to have no intention of slowing down, Du Yulang had no choice but to take precautions and once again ordered the escort ships on both sides of the main warship to come forward to confront the Great Zhou warship.
But during the little time that Du Yulang hesitated, he did not expect that the escort ships on both sides would attack so fast, and that the two escort ships from the Dongyi Kingdom would come so directly. After passing through, the two escort ships reacted and turned around to stop Dazhou's main battleship, but they almost collided with the stern of Dazhou's main battleship...
The hardest copper-clad part of the bow scraped against the hull of the Great Zhou warship, breaking the oars of the warship and making an extremely harsh and unpleasant sound. The naval officers standing at the stern of the Great Zhou warship , unlock the lock connected to the hull, lift it up and jump to the Dongyi ship, risking his life to fight!
King Hancheng turned to look at his bodyguard who never left him and said, "In the next life, we will be brothers!"
"In the next life, I will still serve the prince!" The guard saluted King Hancheng without fear of life or death.
Du Yulang didn't expect that the King of Hancheng was still on the boat, and he actually dared to bump into him, shouting loudly: "Get back! Get back!"
The main battleship of the Great Zhou Navy, which was trying its best, came through the waves. Du Yulang opened his eyes wide in fear, turned around and left... wanting to evacuate from the main battleship.
King Han Cheng looked fearless. At the moment when the main warship hit the Dongyi Kingdom's main warship with all its strength, he turned to look south and murmured in a low voice: "Wei Wei Ruxing, farewell to your majesty!"
Soon, all the Great Zhou navy discovered that their navy's main battleship had collided with the Dongyi Kingdom's main battleship.
The naval generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty exclaimed to King Hancheng. Almost all the generals on the ship made the same decision as King Hancheng at that moment. They... fought to the death!
"His grandma! The bastard Dongyi Kingdom! Send the order...move forward at full speed! Kill those bastards from the Dongyi Kingdom! We will earn one more by destroying one more!" The general on the ship put his helmet on his head. Throwing it on the deck, he yelled hysterically with red eyes, "Crash! Even if we crash to death... we can't leave a warship for Dongyi Dog! Crash!"
Another warship of the Great Zhou Navy had tilted heavily to the left and was about to sink. They were about to be unable to resist it. Seeing that the ship of the Dongyi Navy had broken through their defense and chased the fishermen and envoys of the Great Zhou, The navy general looked grave and said loudly: "Brothers, let's hold on a little longer! Even if we die... we still have to pull a few more backers! If the Dongyi ship dares to cross the border, we will... crash!" "
One ship...two ships...three ships...
When the ships of the Great Zhou Navy were unable to resist the Dongyi Navy, they chose to perish together with the enemy.
After all the warships and naval officers of the Great Zhou Navy were exhausted, there were stumps and broken trees everywhere as far as the eye could see, and everything... was bright red.
Even the navy officers and soldiers of Dongyi Kingdom were greatly shocked.
In this battle, the entire Dazhou Navy was wiped out, but the Dongyi Navy also suffered heavy losses. Commander Du Yulang died and was unable to pursue the Dazhou envoys.
On August 14, the second year of Yuanhe, the navy of Dongyi State and the naval fleet of Dazhou escorting fishermen out to sea started a war in the sea. The navy officers and soldiers sacrificed their lives to protect the people and envoys. The entire army was wiped out. King Hancheng died heroically. twenty-three.
