Chapter 412: Duel (4)

The singing was deafening, and the drums were earth-shattering. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Hongfan looked ahead, his own warships were difficult to defeat the tide, although he was barely trying to move forward, but it was a further step back, and the forward army had been disabled, and still could not break through to the vicinity of the Song army's warships, the imperial flag on the boat of the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty was still waving in the wind, he really couldn't figure out why the sheep-like southerners would reunite after the defeat How to become so strong and unbreakable, victory always seemed to be close at hand but like the end of the world.

However, Zhang Hongfan knew that they had completely lost their chance at the moment, and the time, place, and people were all turned to the Song army. It has the upper hand, and it has taken advantage of the ebb tide, coupled with the success of resisting its own attack, which will inevitably boost its morale. And he lost Li Heng's army first, and failed to attack twice, and his troops had been lost by nearly half, and he was even more sleepy and demoralized after a day of fierce fighting. Looking at the Song army again, he had turned the bow of the ship, and from his own point of view, he was by no means taking the opportunity to break through, but he was ready to take advantage of the situation to counterattack and fight a decisive battle with himself.

"Du Shuai, retreat, it's impossible to do anything!" A staff member came up and said.

"There's no way back!" Zhang Hongfan shook his head with a wry smile and said.

"Du Shuai has done his best, the Great Khan will not blame, we can transfer elite troops again and make a comeback!" The staff persuaded again.

"The defeat of the army here is shameless, and the enemy army also wants to take the head of the commander and hurry up!" Zhang Hongfan smiled, his face could not see joy and sorrow.

"Du Shuai, although we are at a disadvantage, as long as we let the boat go, we will be able to highlight Haikou, and when we reach the open sea, the sky is high and the sea is wide, as long as they get to Guangzhou, they can't help it!" The staff persuaded bitterly.

"Many of my Zhang's children have joined the army, and some have died on the battlefield, but there are no retreats!" Zhang Hongfan reprimanded sharply, "Pass on my handsome order, go all out to attack the enemy's imperial boat, and kill this son!" ”

"All handsome ......"

"Needless to say, no matter whether this battle is planned by this son or not, just because he dares to take the boat to rush into battle first, he will definitely be the enemy of our dynasty in the future, and let Ben Shuai clear the troubles for the Great Khan today!" Zhang Hongfan looked at the emperor boat that was like a wild horse flowing down the river, tightened the belt in his waist, and said with a helmet.

"All handsome ......"

"You change boats and go by yourself, tell the Great Khan about the situation of this battle, and say that Hongfan has done his best, hoping to treat his family well!" Zhang Hongfan looked at this staff member who had followed his father in the southern and northern wars since he was a child and assisted him for many years, and sighed. Yan ordered his two guards to take him away despite his struggles, disembarked and set off for the south.

"Once the enemy ship approaches, you can board the ship, and you must kill this son!" At this moment, the Song army has been going downstream, and the emperor boat led by it relies on the tall hull to rush left and right, it is really broken by the toucher, and the rotten by the next one, and it crashes out of a way in its own ship formation, and it is coming straight to the Chinese army. Zhang Hongfan took out his sword and said to the left and right guards, his words were full of determination......

…………

The Sheji was the first to burst out of the array, rushing towards the enemy line with an indomitable momentum, although the ship's ballistas were still firing, sweeping every enemy ship in its path. But the most powerful weapon at this moment is its sturdy hull, and those large warships can't withstand its collision, and those medium-sized warships are simply directly crushed, watching this giant go on a rampage, the enemy ships are avoiding one after another, and no one dares to try its edge. The warships that followed behind had also engaged, but at this time the roles had been changed, and it was the Song army that attacked, and they threw ropes to pull the enemy ships closer and jump to grab the boats.

"The sound of killing is bloody, the battlefield is sorrowful, the enemy of the alien race, when will it kill the pure ......" Ni Liang stood on the second deck with a shield, the knife in his hand had already been unsheathed, and he sang loudly with the sound of drums in his mouth, his face was not surprised or happy, his eyes were sharp, and there was no trace of naivety.

"Collect the guns on the bottom of the two sides, and hold the blade to guard!" As it continued to go deeper, the speed of the ship gradually slowed down, the impact force was slowly weakened, and the enemy ships approached, at this time the ballista was difficult to exert its power, Ni Liang ordered the artillerymen to turn to guard the warship to prevent the enemy from boarding.

"Cut the rope and release the arrow!" Ni Liang looked at the battlefield and kept giving orders, for those enemy ships who threw hooks and cables to try to draw the two boats closer, he just ordered to release arrows to drive away and cut off the hooks, and did not want to entangle with them, his goal was very clear that the handsome ship of the enemy army with the flag held high.

"Teams gather on starboard side, ready to lower the drawbridge!" The distance between them and the enemy ship was getting closer and closer, and the other party seemed to be targeting them, and they were struggling to sail towards them against the current, Ni Liang judged the situation and ordered the soldiers to concentrate on the starboard side.

"Raise your shield, fire your arrows!" The two ships approached quickly, and after entering the firing range, the enemy fired a volley of arrows, Ni Liang leaned over and raised his shield to cover it, and at the same time ordered to return fire, and the archers on the Sheji and the repeating ballistas arranged on the sides of the second and third floors immediately fired in unison. Think about the sheji is tall, and the top deck of the enemy's commander is only up to the second deck, and they have 2,000 soldiers, and they have crossbows to help in the battle, condescending to fire at the enemy, for a time the arrows in the air are like flying locusts, and soon the enemy ship archers are suppressed, but there are also people injured by stray arrows under the random arrows.

"Put the drawbridge!" Of course, the Sheji wanted to sink the other party with its own advantages, but several turns were skillfully dodged by the other party, and when the two ships staggered, Ni Liang ordered to lower the drawbridge.

This kind of suspension bridge is inlaid with a hook knife, about three feet wide, once it is mounted on the enemy ship, it can be firmly grasped, so that the enemy ship can not get rid of it, and at the same time can be used as a bridge to cross the ship. At his command, three drawbridges on the starboard side were lowered at the same time and hitched on top of the enemy ship, connecting the two ships together. The enemy seemed to be in a more anxious hurry than the Song army, and the moment the drawbridge fell, they had already risen and stepped on the drawbridge, but they were swept away by a rain of arrows, and the few who dodged were also killed by the Song army lying ambush under the board. Seeing that the drawbridge was not having a good time, the Yuan army threw hooks and ropes, carried long knives, or simply used knives to climb towards the Song ships from all over the place in order to break through from everywhere.

"Grenadier, drop the bomb!" Ni Liang roared. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of tall and long-arm soldiers crouching behind the side suddenly stand up and throw the smoky iron bullets in their hands towards the place where the enemy ships and soldiers gathered. Then immediately leaned over, and immediately someone stood up and threw the iron bombs at the enemy ship, when the Yuan army could not figure out what secret weapons the Song army used, those iron bullets exploded with a roar, and when the pungent gunpowder smoke dissipated, leaving behind the bloodstained, missing arms and legs of the wailing wounded soldiers, who did not scream were either dead or fainted.

Modern people know at a glance that this is the most primitive grenade! But at this moment, it was a new thing, blowing up the enemy troops who didn't know how to dodge, and the Yuan army's offensive was also slowing down, and the grenadiers with grenades on their bodies rushed onto the drawbridge under the cover of the sword and shield hands, and kept throwing the grenades in their hands at the enemy group......
