The remnant sun is like blood, shining on the river, sparkling waves. On the side of the river near the Yuan people's water village, the two armies were fighting hard, but it was the Song army, which seemed to be significantly less numerous, who attacked. Hundreds of small and medium-sized boats, supported by the firepower of dozens of large ships, relied on flexible operations to continuously attack the Yuanren array, firmly suppressing the Tartar naval army near the water village.

"Commander, let your subordinates take the brothers to rush again!" The young military academy pleaded bitterly, and his boat managed to break through the enemy barrier and approach the largest enemy ship, but before he could set it on fire, it was struck in two by a boulder that fell from the sky, and all six people in the boat fell into the water, and he was the only one who was finally taken back.

Su Liuyi's eyes were squinted by the sun, and from noon to now, he launched three attacks in a row, all of which ended in failure. This place is close to the enemy's water village, and the enemy army is not too entangled with himself, whether it is a fireboat or a water ghost team, it is blocked on the periphery, and there are very few who can rush in, and even if they do, it is mostly like the military academy in front of him, he knows that his subordinates have done their best,

It's just that he is still a little hesitant, I don't know if he has met the requirements of the marshal, he has always maintained a limited offensive, using all small boats, and the losses are not large. Seeing that it was about to fall into the night, Su Liuyi had just made up his mind to prepare for the last time, when he heard a loud noise, and a wave rushed on the river near his boat.

"The enemy is firing artillery, and this is from the shore." The soldiers reported the news from Qidou to him, and Su Liuyi sighed secretly, no longer having to make a choice.

"Give the order, the whole army will turn back, go back to the camp separately, and be careful to avoid the cannon stones." With his order, the Song army's naval array gradually dispersed, and the sails accelerated away from the battlefield.

When I returned to my own village, because the incident happened in a hurry, the trestle bridge deep into the river had not yet been built, and the big ship could not land directly. Su Liuyi went down the rope ladder to the dinghy and rowed towards the river bank. There is still some distance from the shore, and Li Tingzhi's tall figure is already in sight, and it looks like he has been waiting for a long time.

"How's the damage?" The entire navy was returning to the village one after another, and at a glance at the chaotic past, Li Tingzhi couldn't see the essentials, and when Su Liuyi went ashore, he simply asked him directly.

"There are more than 30 fireboats, Meng Chong has also lost about 50, not many have been rescued, and the personnel have lost four or five hundred, and the real number will have to wait to know."

Next, Su Liuyi gave out the details of the battle one by one, Li Tingzhi had already regained his calm after hearing the damage, listening to his narration, his eyes were still staring in the direction of the water village, and only when he talked about the Tartars shelling on the shore, he bowed his head slightly.

Liu Yu had already told him about the movement of the enemy troops on the other side, and coupled with the attack launched by Su Liuyi, it was believed that he had attracted the attention of the Tartars. This part of the plan is complete, and this is just the beginning, and the real action will not begin until the evening.

"You are here, after all the units of the navy have returned to the village, let the soldiers rest with food, wait for the commander's orders, there is still some time, it is okay to sleep."

patted his shoulder and whispered to Su Liuyi, Li Tingzhi turned around and left the water village, Xu Wende and other troops had already moved to the riverside, and they would cross the river by civilian boats just waiting for the signal in the city to sound. These ships were collected by Liu Yu in various states when he was used to rush supplies, and were later used to take the rout to Yangzhou.

And that signal, Li Tingzhi still doesn't know what it will be, the city didn't say it explicitly, but said that when the time comes, will it be a firelight at such a distance? Li Tingzhi raised his wrist and looked at the moment, he knew that the time of the attack was still early, but he was not a little sleepy.

The walls on both sides of the west gate of Jiankang City are a little different from the past, and when the sun is approaching, the defenders begin to tear down the curtains that are stretched high outside the wall, and the flags that were erected every few steps at the battlements are also put down on the horse road, and the whole city wall looks bare as if it is completely unfortified.

On the high platform of the city tower, Liu Yu's eyes were retracted from outside the city, and the little Lori beside her was staring at the streets under the city with big eyes, muttering something in her mouth, since she climbed on this high platform just now, her expression has not changed like this, but Liu Yuyan doubts that she can count clearly.

"Don't count, there are two hundred in total, and you can't see that end, how can you count them like this." Liu Yu poked her and told her the answer directly.

"Alas, there are so many, how did you conjure them, you didn't have them yesterday." Little Lori was a little dissatisfied with his spoilers and sighed regretfully.

"If you promise me, I'll sue you?" Liu Yu's mind conjured up the image of a lewd strange uncle.

"Don't think about it, I'll go wherever you go, if you don't say it, don't say it, isn't it rare." Little Lori was alert and rejected him directly.

Liu Yu shook his head, he really wanted to break her up, no matter what the battle situation was, he would personally take the reserve team out of the city, either to meet the defeated soldiers, or to expand the results of the battle, but he didn't want the girl next to him to go with him, but at present, it seemed that there was little hope of convincing her.

Under the city is the trebuchet brought by Liu Yu, one is placed every ten steps, divided into two rows and almost occupies the entire street, the huge steel long arms shine strangely under the illumination of the surrounding torches, each one is like a fierce beast ready to pounce, so that all the defenders who saw it for the first time were excited.

Next to the machine is the sergeant in charge of the operation, each of five in a small group, although they have been operating for several days, they are still seizing the last opportunity to try to master the various steps in order to further increase the speed of the fire. So far, these machines have not fired even a single live bomb, and what the specific effect will be, Liu Yu can only cheer himself up in his heart.

At this moment, all the volunteers in the city were carrying all kinds of ammunition, and it was not close to here from the warehouse of the ordnance supervisor, and the ox carts were carefully walking slowly on the street with full wooden boxes, and when they arrived at the place, the accompanying volunteers moved the boxes down and piled them up behind the machine.

"Tell Taishou, the report from the small courtyard is broadcast as usual today?" A pro-soldier ran up to the castle tower and said loudly.

"Well, just as I was about to talk about this, you went and told the person who came that an hour and a half before today, you would try to interfere with the enemy army as much as you did in the past. After half an hour, I put some soothing tunes, and the music of the day was good, you can play it repeatedly, can you hear it clearly? ”

Liu Yu's wishful thinking is to make the enemy unable to sleep at first, and then be hypnotized more than an hour before the attack begins. "That's it. However, he has personally experienced the hypnotic effect of Gu Xixi's piano music, and he should be very satisfied.

The soldiers led the order to go, and after a while, the high-frequency directional high-power loudspeakers outside the city rang, and all kinds of strange sounds raged in the empty night, so that the defenders in the city couldn't help frowning, Liu Yu also walked down the city tower, and took Xiao Lori along the street, all the way to Longguang Gate.

Longguang Gate is also located in the west of the city, and there is a water gate not far from it, which is the location of Liu Yu's scheduled attack. After passing through the trebuchet position, before he walked under the city gate, Liu Yu saw a familiar figure, carefully watching up and down next to a machine.

"Young Eunuch Ye, why are you so interested?" Liu Yu walked over, Ye Yingji didn't seem to see him at all, his eyes were still on the machine.

"This is stainless steel, you actually used it to make this thing, a tyrannical thing, a tyrannical thing." Hearing Liu Yu's voice, Ye Yingji stammered a little excitedly, and looked like he had been robbed of the money.

However, Liu Yu didn't think it was a pity, and the price of steel in later generations was greatly reduced, and it was almost the same price as cabbage by catty. On the contrary, some wood is very expensive, and it is a real tyrannical thing to use to make this, but this truth can't be explained to Ye Yingji, Liu Yu had to laugh and break away.

Ye Yingji's excitement did not last long before turning to the operation of the machine, Liu Yu knew that he was a technical nerd, so he told him according to the printed operation manual, and the two of them were here You ask me and answer each other. Liu Yu himself is also a half-tone, when he can't say clearly, Ye Yingji simply starts by himself, and there is nothing to do left and right, Liu Yu is here to watch and slowly pass the time.

I don't know how long it took, the sound outside the city suddenly became the kind of guqin sound that Liu Yu was very familiar with, and he didn't need to look at his watch, he also knew that there was still half an hour left before the attack. At this time, there was a sound of neat steps on the streets leading to the city, and Liu Yu's spirit was lifted, knowing that this was the first team of Jinming to arrive.

As the infantry procession gradually approached, Liu Yu, who had already stood in front of the city gate in advance, saw clearly what this kind of armor, which is known as the heaviest armor in history, when worn on people. It can be seen that the more than 1,000 people in front of him were carefully selected by Jin Ming, and everyone was tall and strong, so they could afford to support such a heavy armor.

The iron blades are made of nails that extend from top to bottom to the calves, the wide iron blades hang down behind the helmet to protect the fragile neck, and the two straps on the upper cheeks are tied so that only a pair of eyes are exposed to the entire face. After that, the thousands of people were ordinary forbidden army uniforms, but they looked very energetic after changing into new clothes.

Jin Ming, who was in the lead, did not ride a horse, but also put on a step armor, and the hanger in his hand made him a lot slower. Liu Yu looked at the military formation in front of him with a smile, and those young faces were full of vigor after full rest, and he couldn't help but secretly admire that this morale was already ready for a battle.

He waved his hand, and the pheasant slave and his own soldiers poured a bowl of wine for the sergeants one by one with their bravery, this wine was the bulk liquor he brought from the afterlife last time, and the degree was high in this time and space, and for a while, the aroma of wine near Longguang Gate was overflowing.

Liu Yu himself also picked up a bowl, waiting for all the five thousand people to receive the bowl and serve it, he saw that the time was about to come, took the loudspeaker from the hand of a personal soldier, and was about to speak.

"In the third year of Jianyan, the Jin people committed me Jiankang, and Mrs. Han personally beat the drum here to boost morale, so she broke the enemy army. Today, I regret not daring to follow the actions of my wife, so I can only offer a song to make a strong debut for my Song Dynasty soldiers. ”

The loudspeaker in the city suddenly sounded, and as soon as Gu Xixi's words fell, there was a crisp sound, and the prelude of "Hymn to Heroes" came out of the air, and Liu Yu and more than 5,000 people were stunned there with wine bowls.

"Singing heroes in the smoke of the beacon smoke, listening to the green mountains on all sides" Listening to Gu Xixi's slightly melodious singing, although it was still not the kind of singing that Liu Yu admired, but at such a moment, seeing the excited expressions on the faces of the soldiers, he understood that he didn't need to say anything more.

"Come, brethren, do this bowl!" The time gradually approached three o'clock, Liu Yu raised the horn and shouted, and everyone raised the bowl together and poured it down.

"The hour has come, open the door! Put the suspension bridge. With an order, the guards lowered their latches, pushed the heavy gate open, and the hanging drawbridge slowly fell.

"Why are the battle flags so picturesque? The blood of heroes stained her red. Why is spring always there? The life of a hero blooms with flowers! ”

The four columns of foot soldiers and the ** part of the song, strode forward towards the dark outside of the city.
