Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1436

Chapter 1436: Chapter 1431: Farewell to His Majesty

Prince of Hancheng continuously divided his forces to block the Dongyi Navy trying to break through the Zhou Navy defenses, completely ignoring that the main warship was slightly tilting to the right, engulfed in flames, and completely ignoring that Du Yulang had already sent more men aboard the Zhou main warship to kill him, the Commander.

At this moment, the enemy’s damp bodies and the bodies of their own soldiers could be seen everywhere on the main warship.

Prince of Hancheng was also covered in blood, his left hand severed by the Dongyi General who boarded the Zhou main warship, temporarily wrapped hastily with a cloak, blood continuously dripping down. The pain made him grip the sword hilt tightly, almost unable to straighten up.

"Prince, we’ve run out of Crossbow Arrows and arrows! We can’t hold them back!" A young Naval General rushed towards the blood-covered, sword-wielding Prince of Hancheng, kneeling on one knee, "Our main warship is engulfed in flames, and the enemy is damaging the hull after boarding. It’s feared that it will sink soon! Please take a small boat and leave quickly! We will fight to the last moment without retreating!"

Prince of Hancheng endured the severe pain, quickly walked to the right side, glanced at the Dongyi Army about to break through the naval defense line, then staggered to the left side, seeing a Dongyi Kingdom warship had already broken through the defense.

Prince of Hancheng looked at the Dongyi Kingdom’s main warship still directing attacks, a resolute determination hardening his heart...

Shoot the horse first to catch the thief, seize the king first!

As long as the main Dongyi warship sinks and the Commander dies, their combat strength will be greatly diminished.

This ship is doomed, rather than letting it sink, it’s better to make the most of it!

Prince of Hancheng loudly ordered: "Command! Full speed... advance, ram into the Dongyi Kingdom’s main warship!"

"Prince!" The young Naval General’s eyes widened, hesitated only for a moment, then stood up, "Prince leave first! I will ram the ship!"

Prince of Hancheng shook his head: "Only with me standing alive at the ship’s bow, Dongyi Kingdom won’t anticipate our determination, won’t prepare ahead."

The young General, with eyes full of tears, nodded, immediately loudly issuing orders, "Command! Full speed, ram into the Dongyi main warship!"

"Command! Full speed, ram into the Dongyi main warship!"

"Command! Full speed, ram into the Dongyi main warship!"

The order was rapidly shouted and passed down, the fully soaked naval soldiers tightly gripping the large oars, aware of this ramming... they would surely die!

But... their fishermen were behind!

They couldn’t retreat!

"Turn the bow! Full speed... charge!" The young General responsible for rowing was drenched in sweat, turning back while hysterically shouting, "Send people immediately to block the right-side breach, all move to the left side to keep the ship balanced! Quick quick quick!"

On the sea, the flame-engulfed Zhou giant ship turned its bow...

Soon, all Zhou Navy discovered their main warship had collided with Dongyi Kingdom’s main warship.

Zhou naval Commanders cried out for Prince of Hancheng, nearly all warship generals made the same decision as Prince of Hancheng at that moment, they... fought to the death without retreat!

"Damn it! Those Dongyi bastards! Command... full speed ahead! Smash those Dongyi bastards! Each ship we destroy, is a ship gained for us!" The generals on deck furiously threw their helmets, red-eyed, screaming hysterically, "Ram! Even if it means death... don’t leave a single warship for those Dongyi scoundrels! Ram!"

Another Zhou naval warship already severely tilted, about to sink, unable to hold out, watching Dongyi ships breach defenses to chase Zhou fishermen and envoys, the Naval General grimly stated: "Brothers hold on! Even if we die... let’s drag a few down with us! If Dongyi ship dares cross boundary, we will... ram!"

One ship... two ships... three ships...

When Zhou ships couldn’t resist Dongyi Kingdom’s navy, they chose to perish together with the enemy.

With all Zhou naval warships and soldiers depleted, the sight everywhere was of scattered limbs and shattered wood, everywhere... was red.

Even Dongyi Kingdom’s naval soldiers were deeply shaken.

This battle, Zhou Navy was annihilated, but Dongyi Navy suffered heavy losses, Commander Du Yulang died, unable to pursue Zhou envoys further.

On August 14, Year Two of Yuanhe, Dongyi Kingdom’s navy clashed with Zhou escort naval fleet protecting fishermen at sea, naval soldiers sacrificed to protect civilians and envoys, the entire fleet was annihilated, Prince of Hancheng heroically perished, aged twenty-three.
