"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 637
"Plop!"
"ah!"
"my eyes!"
The sharp arrows kept falling, and the soldiers of the Southern Army crowded in the river kept being hit by arrows and fell into the water, screaming one after another.
Many Confederate soldiers who fell into the water struggled and tried to swim to the shore.
"Puff!"
But arrows kept falling, and they were quickly shot into hedgehogs, covered with arrows.
The blood continued to flow out along the wound, and soon spread around in circles.
In just a moment, the river was covered with corpses of soldiers from the Confederate Army, and the river turned red.
The fleet of the Southern Army was crowded in the narrow river channel, and the sounds of cursing and screams were intertwined.
Countless arrows wrapped in kerosene fell on the ship, and flammable debris burned one after another.
Not long after, many sail debris burst into raging flames, and many Confederate soldiers were also engulfed by the fire.
Wearing the general's armor, the personal guards of the vice-admiral of the Southern Army Navy Fleet also suffered heavy casualties. They were at the front of the fleet, and there was no way to turn around at all.
Theirs was a larger ship, which had been taken care of intensively. The ship was burning in flames, billowing with smoke.
"Master Lieutenant General, let's go."
Surrounded by personal guards, they tried to escape by jumping into a small boat.
However, the arrows flew by, and the deputy general of the Southern Army Navy dodged in panic, and fell into the water with a plop.
"My lord, my lord, my lord!"
"Quickly save the lieutenant general!"
Seeing the lieutenant general fall into the water, the guards all shouted.
Hearing the shouts of these guards, the water bandits hiding in the reeds also noticed, and more dense arrows shot away.
The lieutenant's personal guards were killed by arrows one after another, and the lieutenant was also hit by several arrows and almost died on the spot.
He swam hard, trying to catch a rope thrown from another boat.
However, there were swishing arrows all around, and he was wearing heavy armor, which became heavier after being soaked in the river water.
He felt like something was going to drag him into the water, the more he thumped, the more he sank.
Although the lieutenant was a good swimmer when he was young, but now he is obese due to his pampering, and the heavy armor on his body is killing him.
After only fluttering for a while, the lieutenant general stopped moving. Several arrows covered him, and he was surrounded by red blood.
The ships of the Southern Army and Navy were crowded together in the river, and many ships also burned under the several rounds of arrow damage and rocket strikes.
Some soldiers of the Confederate Army were forced to abandon the ship and flee for their lives. Many of them were shot and killed by arrows as soon as they jumped into the water.
Some of them managed to swim to the shore, but the ferocious water bandits had been waiting for a long time.
Facing those shining blades and spears, these once arrogant Southern Army soldiers also panicked.
When they dived, they lost their weapons. Facing the water bandits who were slaughtered, they were unarmed and quickly fell on the river beach.
"Forgive me, forgive me."
"I surrender, surrender."
Seeing their companions being chopped down by water bandits, some soldiers of the Southern Army were so frightened that they shook like chaff, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
If they had encountered soldiers from the Qinghe Army, they would have been able to find a way out if they put down their weapons and surrendered.
But what they faced were water bandits who killed people without batting an eyelid. These water bandits hated the Southern Army navy fleet.
Naturally, this good opportunity for revenge will not be missed now. The sharp blade slashed down, blood and flesh flew, and a large number of Southern Army soldiers were chopped to the ground. Their heads will become evidence for the water bandits to claim credit.
Some Southern Army ships behind turned around, but the water bandits had already penetrated some ships and blocked their retreat.
Facing the strangulation of these ferocious water bandits, this southern army navy unit with more than 200 ships was annihilated in less than half an hour.
Because the water bandits wanted to take credit for these heads, there were no prisoners in this battle, and all the soldiers of the Southern Army were killed.
? Although the water bandits wiped out this southern armyThe navy troops, but the Southern Army navy troops were dying, and the water bandits also suffered some casualties.
After spending more than five hours cleaning the battlefield, all the ignited ships were burned to ashes, and some ships became trophies.
After all those who died in battle were buried in a centralized manner, Hong Bo, the head of the 19th Banner of the Qinghe Army, returned home triumphantly.
"General, Commander Hong Qi and the others are back."
When their fleet returned to Youlong Port, someone immediately reported to Chen Ziang who was stationed here.
"Come on, let's go to meet you."
Chen Zi'ang didn't expect Hong Bo and the others to wipe out the southern army so quickly and come back, and he was ready to greet them personally.
Hong Bo, who had just won the battle, was also very happy, because he killed his colleague who had framed him on the battlefield, and he finally let out a bad breath in his heart.
"Master Banner, the general is at the pier."
As soon as Hong Bo's ship docked, someone reminded him that Chen Zi'ang had brought people to greet him at the pier.
Hong Bo was also very moved when he saw Chen Zi'ang and others standing in Youlonggang Wharf.
If it wasn't for Chen Ziang, he would still be gloomily drinking away his sorrows, how could he take revenge.
Seeing Chen Zi'ang, the commander of the Qinghe Army's second army, personally greet him, he was not only moved, but also excited.
"General, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life and destroyed more than 200 of their ships, more than 2,000 people."
Hong Bo jumped off the boat, strode up to Chen Ziang, stood up and gave a military salute.
"Commander Hong Qi wins the flag and strengthens our army. I have already ordered wine and food to be prepared. I want to celebrate for you!" Chen Ziang said with a smile.
"Thank you, General!"
After Hong Bo heard Chen Ziang's praise, he couldn't help grinning, he was really happy in his heart.
Under Chen Zi'ang's order, You Longgang rewarded the victorious water bandits by slaughtering pigs and sheep.
The water bandits have won the battle, and now they are very excited to see the Qinghe Army entertaining them so warmly.
?Everyone ate food that night, and many water bandits were so drunk that they passed out. It was really a lively scene.
Early the next morning, when Chen Ziang was eating breakfast, Hong Bo, the head of the 19th Banner, arrived in the small courtyard where Chen Ziang lived temporarily.
"Captain Hong Qi, you haven't had breakfast yet, let's eat together."
Seeing Hong Bo's arrival, Chen Zi'ang invited them to sit down, and at the same time ordered Du Jian, the captain of the personal guard, to serve him a bowl of porridge.
As a military man, Hong Bo was not polite, and sat down straight away.
"Captain Hong Qi, do you have anything to do with me?"
Chen Ziang saw that he was looking at himself while eating the porridge, he hesitated to speak a few times, and couldn't help asking.
"General, I have a word, I don't know if I should say it or not." Hong Bo said hesitantly.
"Just say what you have to say."
"At the beginning, you promised the water bandits that there would be a reward for beheading the heads of the southern army and water army. I don't know if you still remember?" Hong Bo asked tentatively.
"Of course I remember."
"I implore the general to fulfill the promise immediately, because if we do not fulfill the promise, these water bandits may disperse and stop helping us, and maybe they will attack us in turn."
"Our troops have just been formed and have not yet been able to participate in the war. Now we need them to help us deal with the southern army. I also ask the general to plan in the long run."
Hong Bo was worried that Chen Ziang would play tricks, so he couldn't help coming over to remind Chen Ziang.
Because they beheaded too many heads, Hong Bo was also worried that Chen Ziang would not pay for it.
At this time, they still need to stabilize the water bandits, so he knows how important this matter is to them.
"What am I supposed to do? Don't worry, I have prepared the bounty. After breakfast, I will send someone to verify and distribute it." Chen Ziang said with a smile.
"Thank you, General!"
Seeing Chen Ziang being so forthright, Hong Bo also laughed happily.
Because only when Chen Ziang's bounty was paid out, he could lead the water bandits to continue fighting.
If Chen Ziang didn't pay the bounty and people's hearts were scattered, it would be difficult to lead the troops. Fortunately, he met a good shopkeeper who kept his promise.
