On the Jiaolong Warship.
Du Qi stood on the deck and looked at the Tang warships that were charging at him. He seemed relaxed. The Tang warships had about 50 warships at first, but now they had lost more than half of them. Their strength was not as strong as before.
The most important thing was that Du Qi found that the explosion of the accompanying boats was stronger when they were hit by the shells. Obviously, there was gunpowder on the boats. This was the Tang warship's trick. They intended to use the boats to crash into Xia Xia's warship and then blow up Xia's warship.
But now, the boats were being destroyed by the shells one after another. The Tang dynasty's trick had been destroyed, so Du Qi was not afraid. Even if there were a few boats rushing at him, it would not affect Du Qi much. After all, the scattered boats were worthless.
The rumbling of the shells was still ringing. The mortars were constantly adjusting the distance and bombarding, causing the Tang warships to be damaged. When the distance was shortened to about 30 steps, it was not convenient for the shells to bombard because the distance was too close.
On the Tang warship.
Xu Jingzong's small eyes showed a ruthless look. He gritted his teeth and said, "Commander Xue, General Xue, although many of our warships are damaged and many of our soldiers have fallen into the river, our soldiers can swim and the damaged warships can still move forward slowly."
"We haven't lost yet."
"We still have a chance."
"Go forward. Order all the warships to go forward. When enemies meet on a narrow path, only the brave can win. What we can do now is to fight to the death. As long as we collide with Xia Xia's warship, we still have a chance. "
Xu Jingzong was almost hysterical. "Go, go forward! Fight! Even if we die, we have to fight. If we go back now, we will be the sinners of the Tang dynasty. Even if we die, we can't retreat. "
Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche ordered at the same time.
They had no choice but to rush forward. Otherwise, so many warships stranded on the river would be greatly affected. The Tang warships kept rushing forward, getting closer and closer to Xia Xia's warship.
Xu Jingzong, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche and others all looked fierce.
He had already staked everything on this one throw.
He pinned all his hopes on this collision.
Du Qi saw that the Tang warship was staking everything on a single throw and a smile appeared on his face. He wasn't afraid of a collision at all, so Du Qi waited quietly. At this moment, the distance between them was shrinking.
Thirty steps!
Twenty steps!
When the distance was shortened to ten steps, the warships of the Tang army were fast and had already crashed into them.
"Boom!!"
The warships collided.
The speed of the Tang warships was extremely fast. Even though the Xia warships were anchored on the surface of the river, the force of the collision was still incomparably great.
Xu Jingzong shouted, "Get ready, get ready to attack!"
Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche ordered at the same time.
All of the soldiers on the Tang army's warships were overjoyed. Because both sides had suffered heavy injuries, they would be able to charge over. But the next moment, the Tang soldiers widened their eyes in disbelief.
They saw that the sides of the Tang warships were cracked and the warships were damaged. On the contrary, although Xia Xia's warships were shaking on the river, they were impregnable and didn't suffer any damage.
There was no exception.
It was the same for the Tang warships. One warship after another was damaged. On the other hand, none of the Xia warships were damaged.
Xu Jingzong's heart tightened and he clenched his fists when he saw this. His small eyes widened, and his bloodshot eyes were even more incredulous.
How could it be?
Why was Xia Xia's warship so hard?
After such a violent collision, Xia Xia's warship was not damaged at all. On the contrary, all of their warships were damaged. After the damage, there were already signs of leakage.
Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche were also stunned and found it unbelievable. Both Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche thought that the collision would cause both sides to suffer. They thought that they would be damaged at the same time and then they could charge over. But now, it was a one-sided crush. Xia Xia's warship directly crushed the Tang warship.
Even Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche couldn't accept what was happening in front of them.
At the moment when the Tang soldiers were also panicking, Xue Rengui had already ordered, "Attack! Attack for me! Throw the grenades over and blow them up. "
He gave the order to attack.
The messenger waved the flag and the message was sent out. Xia Xia's soldiers stood on the side of the ship, took out the grenades, unscrewed the caps, pulled out the fuses and threw them out. The grenades flew through the air and landed on the Tang warships in the blink of an eye.
Boom! Boom!!!
The explosions kept ringing.
The Tang army was already caught off guard. Under the bombardment of the grenades, the Tang soldiers were killed one by one.
For a moment, the morale of the Tang army was even lower.
Originally, all of the Tang army should have been placed on Xia Xia's warships with wooden planks and then the soldiers would rush over to kill. At this moment, countless people were no longer in the mood to fight. On the other hand, Xia Xia's army directly placed wooden planks on the two ships after the grenades bombardment. Xia Xia's soldiers directly rushed over and began to kill the Tang soldiers.
Facing the fierce attack of Xia Xia's soldiers, the Tang army was even more vulnerable.
Xue Wanche was at a loss at this moment.
Xue Wanjun was also at a loss.
If they wanted to fight, they definitely couldn't win. But if they wanted to retreat, it wouldn't be easy to retreat on the river. After all, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were buried here.
They had lost this battle.
Xue Wanjun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Xu Jingzong, who was also at a loss, and said, "Military Counselor Xu, what should we do now? The enemy is coming and the Tang warships are undamaged. We can't stop them. What should we do now? "
Xu Jingzong came to his senses and looked around. His cheeks twitched. When he came, Xu Jingzong was full of ambition and fighting spirit. But now, Xu Jingzong had no fighting spirit at all.
He had really lost the last bit of fighting spirit.
Retreat?
If he retreated to Jiangdu now, he would definitely be looked down upon by countless people and even be regarded as a sinner of the Tang dynasty.
Xu Jingzong didn't want to surrender either.
Xu Jingzong looked determined. He gritted his teeth and said, "Commander Xue, when I came, I promised His Majesty that we could only win this battle. Now we have lost. This battle is my responsibility. If you kill me, you'll immediately give the order to withdraw your troops. Go back and tell His Majesty that I will commit suicide for the country and ask for His Majesty's forgiveness. Please don't vent your anger on all the soldiers because of my responsibility. Kill me. Take the boat and retreat immediately. Take as many people as you can. "
Xue Wanjun was shocked when he heard it.
Kill Xu Jingzong.
It was equivalent to making Xu Jingzong take the blame.
After Xue Wanjun heard this, he pondered for a moment and then nodded. He directly stabbed the sword in his hand. The sharp sword tip penetrated Xu Jingzong's heart. As the blade was pulled out, blood spurted out from Xu Jingzong's chest and dyed his clothes red.
Xu Jingzong smiled sadly.
His face was full of pain.
He only felt that all his strength and consciousness were flowing away along with the spurting blood. His whole body was on the verge of collapse and could no longer stand firm. The next moment, Xu Jingzong's body fell to the ground with a plop. His body twitched twice and then lost consciousness.
Xue Wanjun looked at the dead Xu Jingzong and then at the surrounding Xia Xia's army. He looked at Xue Wanche and said urgently, "Fourth Brother, Military Counselor Xu alone can't report to His Majesty. You take the army and retreat. I'll take care of it. "
After saying that, he raised his sword and cut his neck.
Slash.
The blade cut his neck and blood spurted out. Xue Wanjun directly committed suicide. Now, he didn't even have the courage to fight. He simply cut his own throat and asked for death, and then fought for a chance for Xue Wanche.
"Third Brother!"
Xue Wanche roared hysterically.
He looked around with furious eyes. He was so angry that his eyes were about to burst. He wanted to kill the enemy, but the surrounding Tang army was constantly routed. The momentum of Xia Xia's army was like a rainbow and simply couldn't stop them.
There was no way to reverse the situation.
