Chapter Five Hundred and Thirteen Long Road

The fleet flowed down the Yangtze River. Although it was not as exaggerated as a thousand miles a day, it was still more than enough to sail more than a hundred miles.

In the kitchen at the bottom of the handsome boat, several cooks were busy. When they woke up in the morning, they started preparing meals for hundreds of people, cooking, cutting vegetables, and washing dishes... Basically, after the morning, lunch came, and after lunch, it was dinner, and only at night could they rest.

It was very hard to run a boat, and the other three cooks were very tired. They put down their work and went back to the cabin to lie down.

Hu Sanniang has a very good martial arts skills and can handle it. She just sat in the river corridor for half a year and her skills were not as good as before. She would climb up and down outside the small gate every day to restore her former physique and would fall asleep if she couldn't climb so hard that she couldn't climb.

Boom--

In the middle of the night, a huge roar suddenly rang, which scared several women on the cabin bed and whispered:

"It's a war!"

"Are we okay?"

"We are the Grandmaster's ship, so it's definitely okay..."

Hu Sanniang opened her eyes, the cabin swayed, and when the sound of the cannon sounded, the hull would tilt significantly, and dust would be shaken off from time to time.

She stood up at the door, staggered to the small door, and looked outside.

The view is the vast river surface, and there is a huge city on the shore. It was just when the lights first came up. The city was like a sea of ​​lights. The river embankment on the shore, and the walls were full of torches, and countless people were moving on the shore.

"I'm in Jiangling..."

Hu Sanniang murmured and looked at the river in the distance.

Above the river, hundreds of merchant ships and pleasure boats were scattered across the river, and the anchors were taken, and the iron chains were threaded together to prevent them from spreading. This line of defense connected by merchant ships was obviously a solution that the court had no choice but to prevent the Shu army from continuing to go downstream.

There was obviously a giant iron rod inserted into the bottom of the river. Several ships of the Shu army collided and began to sink. The Shu army above swam towards the rear.

On both sides of the fleet, more than a hundred warships of the Song Dynasty Navy rushed over with the drums of war, and rockets landed in the fleet like locusts.

The Shu army was blocked from their way and was attacked from both sides, so they were not panicked.

Fifty gunships transformed by merchant ships aimed the artillery on the deck at the rushing warships. Solid shells poured out. When they hit the warships, they would be a hole, or the mast was broken, and the imperial guards above jumped into the water.

"kill--"

The shouts of killing shocked the sky, but both sides did not accept the enemy.

Hu Sanniang watched the huge warship rushing a mile away and was sunk by hundreds of artillery guns, especially the huge gunship under her feet, which fired thirty shells in a row. The warship in the distance was as crippled with holes as if it was covered in paper. It could not run far and sank into the river.

The obstacles formed by the merchant ships were even more vulnerable. The ship was destroyed in just a few guns, and several gaps appeared, which allowed the giant trees at the bottom of the river to block the progress of some small boats.

The imperial guards were almost fearless and the big ship could not rush in, so they rowed a small boat to try to get closer.

Thousands of small boats carrying several imperial guards probably gathered all the fishing boats in Jiangling and rushed over like an ant colony. With one shot, the boat and people were split into pieces.

A few imperial guards rushed to the side of the Shu army's fleet, and forced themselves to board the ship with ropes and hooks and claws. Unfortunately, not much could be run in front of them. Burning turbulent oil covered the river, and the wailing and roar turned the river into a purgatory on earth.

"Blast the city walls and force them to retreat! If you attack the Jiangling Imperial Army, you will die."

A man's scolding came from above.

Hu Sanniang raised her head and was a little puzzled by these words. The court was obviously flying moths to the fire, and it was impossible to shake the fleet full of artillery. Isn’t it good to die?

She and the imperial court and Western Shu both had a grudge and wanted both sides to die together, but she obviously could only think about these ideas.

Boom--

Another volley.

The loud noise made his ears numb. The commanding ship moved a little distance. The fire lit up on the river bank in the distance. The officials supervising the battle on the shore fled in all directions, and several gaps appeared along the city wall along the river.

Boom--

About half an hour later, Jiangling seemed to be unable to hold on anymore. He stopped the troops and the boat on the river quickly retreated back to the shore.

The Shu army fleet rushed through the blockade and continued to gallop downstream.

Hu Sanniang sighed in disappointment, looked up at the terrace above, and looked at it slightly. It was too steep and there was no force to climb up. At that moment, I could only calm down and slowly return to the cabin...

------

After the war ended, Cao Hua returned to the room on the top floor, sat at the desk and rubbed his forehead.

The holes in the room have been repaired, but the desk has been broken and cannot be replenished, so I can only use a small table instead.

Han'er walked to the back of the Taishi Chair with a little sigh, rubbed Cao Hua's shoulder and said softly:

"Young Master, the court must have issued a death order to stop the fleet from the coastal prefectures and counties, otherwise the imperial guards in Jiangling would not be so fierce and fearless."

Cao Hua shook his head and smiled: "There are those who are immortal in the war. Jiangling cannot stop them. The prefectures and counties behind him will definitely not dare to stop them anymore."

While speaking, Yutang ran out of the room, lay down at the window and looked up a few times, and said enthusiastically:

"Are you finished playing? Have we won?"

In such a war, if thousands of people die, they will naturally not let the two little maids watch it.

For Yutang, the sound of cannons is no different from the fireworks in Bianjing. It’s just that the sound is a little louder, and I can’t imagine the scene like a purgatory on earth just now.

This was obviously inappropriate, and Han'er's face turned slightly cold:

"Yutang, who asked you to come out?"

"Isn't the fight finished..."

Yutang's neck shrank slightly, and he retreated pitifully from the window, squatted down next to Cao Hua, and beat Cao Hua's legs obediently.

Cao Hua was a little helpless: "Han'er, what are you always scolding her? It's normal for you to be young and ignorant..."

"Yes, I'm still young..."

Yutang smiled trepidly, leaned towards Cao Hua a little, put his cheek on his legs, rubbing like a kitten, looking like a coquettish look.

Han'er looked at it and frowned and said, "You are getting more and more arrogant. Are you still young? Are you still twelve or twelve years old?"

Cao Hua was right in front of Yutang, but Yutang was not afraid of heaven or earth, even Han'er was not afraid of it, so he nodded seriously:

"Young Master said I was young, so I was young. The rules were set by the young master, not by Sister Han'er..."

"you--"

Han'er had some temper? In anger, she grabbed Yutang's thin arm and lifted her up and pressed her on the desk.

Yutang was only wearing a thin nightgown and lay on the desk. Under the reflection of candlelight, his petite figure twisted around, but he was not afraid at all. He complained in a grievance: "Young Master, Sister Han'er bullies me again, and he doesn't even listen to you..."

Cao Hua was relished in watching it, but he ignored it at all.

Han'er's face turned slightly cold. She raised her hand to grab Yutang's collar and tore it hard.

Thorns—

The nightgown, which was not too thick, was torn to pieces.
