Chapter 1034 Defeat
When the first tower ship caught fire, King Zhao had already changed into ordinary people's clothes and was escorted down to the bottom of the cabin, where there was a small boat.
King Zhao had calmed down and was sitting in the cabin giving orders, "Order the Black Armored Army to counterattack with all their might, the Red Phosphorus Army to cover my retreat, and have General Chen stabilize the situation."
The escape setup of this ship is very special. Instead of releasing the lifeboat to escape, there is a mechanism at the bottom of the cabin. Once the situation outside is not right, the mechanism at the bottom can be opened immediately, and the lifeboat can be released from the side of the bottom of the ship, allowing you to escape unexpectedly.
However, the ship cannot sink yet and must continue to attract fire.
The command ship that Shengze was on was behind the Hubei Northern Army. The ship looked exactly like the other ships, except that there was a small lookout tower on the deck where he could stand to get a panoramic view of the situation when necessary.
"Your Highness, please stand here." Liang Cheng's personal guard looked at Sheng Ze with a tangled face. His heart was in his throat, afraid that something unexpected would happen. How could he bear it?
Sheng Ze shook his head, "It's okay."
He is no longer the same person he was before. With so many soldiers ahead of him, if he were killed by the enemy, then his life would be truly lived in vain.
Ling Yun had already rushed into the front battlefield and was fighting with the main general of King Zhao's army.
It was obvious to the naked eye that General Chen was no match for Ling Yun, but he still tried hard to stop Ling Yun from going to find King Zhao.
"He's a man." Sheng Ze said lightly.
Unfortunately, I followed the wrong master.
He might have spared other generals after their surrender, but not the commander-in-chief of King Zhao's army.
Half an hour later, Sheng Ze turned around and asked, "How many men did we lose?"
"Your Highness, the statistics from the rear just now show that we have 128 dead, 656 seriously injured, and 656 slightly injured..."
Following his subordinate's reply, Sheng Ze lowered his eyes.
The casualties were less than he expected, which should be attributed to the gunpowder weapons.
In fact, the weapons sold by the Hubei Northern Army to King Zhao were all completely defeated by them. Even if King Zhao's army used those weapons, the impact on the battlefield would be almost negligible.
The current casualties are already less than he expected, and there shouldn't be much increase afterwards.
Thinking of this, Sheng Ze raised his eyes again and saw Ling Yun suddenly rise into the air and fly quickly towards the opposite side of Lanjiang.
Sheng Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, looked carefully in the direction Ling Yun was chasing, and soon understood.
There was a ship that was obviously different from the small boat of the Hubei Northern Army and was moving rapidly towards the Lanjiang Wharf, while the large ship on which General Chen was located was sinking little by little.
It doesn't take much thought to know that King Zhao must be on the boat.
"Pass the order down, if King Zhao wants to run, have the people in front turn around and stop him!" Sheng Ze gave the order quickly.
But he still said it was too late.
Dozens of shirtless men appeared out of nowhere around King Zhao's boat. It was obvious that these men were very good at swimming. Even when they were attacked by the Hubei Northern Army, they were not afraid of death and protected King Zhao as they left quickly.
Ling Yun, who was in the air, was also dragged down by the archers of King Zhao's army. He watched King Zhao crawl ashore and mount his horse, and then he disappeared in a cloud of dust.
Ling Yun cursed, "It's over, I'm going to be laughed to death by that kid Shen Yong and that girl Shen Qingning."
Seeing this, Sheng Ze was not discouraged. Instead, he raised his arms and shouted, "Prince Zhao has been defeated. All the soldiers must unite and cross the Lan River to capture Chenzhou!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew onto the Zhao Wang army's ship and started a massacre!
