Chapter 351: Battle of Donghai Island (6)

Onions are in this era, the Western Regions have them, the Mongolians may know about them, and the Central Plains people may know about them, but the Jiangnan people have definitely not heard of them, let alone seen them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so Liu Meng also heard about it from His Majesty, but he couldn't tell what he looked like. However, it is good to make it clear that this is still the tactic used by His Majesty when dealing with Liu Shen in the Battle of the Seven Continents, that is, to use the mobility of the dragon ship to attack around the enemy's formation, knock out the enemy's peripheral forces layer by layer, expose the enemy's core, and then deliver a fatal blow.

Although the situation is different now, it is also possible to use this tactic to besiege the enemy army, like putting a fence in front of them, making it difficult for them to escape. If the enemy flees, they can still use this tactic to intercept the enemy, slow down their escape, and annihilate the enemy in motion. At this time, Chen Renweng found that the enemy army had realized that the Song army's attack had stopped, the rocket attack had weakened, and he was adjusting the formation, but he was still a little hesitant and didn't know where to go......

Zhao Hao has always believed that there is nothing wrong with being cautious, and he has always done so. But one thing is different from Samudan, Zhao Yu is cautious in advance, he will fully consider the whole thing before and after and the changes that may occur in it, and make corresponding countermeasures. But once he decides to do it, he will make up his mind to do it. If there is an unexpected situation, Zhao Yu will never hesitate, he will continue to do it if he can, and he will not drag the mud and water to withdraw immediately, so as to avoid greater losses.

And this Samudan was cautious beforehand, and even more cautious after the incident, lest another accident happen. Now, as Chen Renweng could see, he was doing a situation analysis. Leizhou is close at hand, as long as you rush through this waterway, you can quickly dock at the port and enter a safe area. But it is also a great risk, and if it fails, it will be wiped out one by one like the previous army; Another way to do this is to turn the bow of the ship and return to the mouth of the river, so that you will immediately receive assistance from the cavalry. But he was worried that the Song army had already laid an ambush on his way back, waiting for him to take the bait.

Another thing that worries Samudan is that no matter which direction he is going, he will have to readjust his formation, and once he disperses, those 'monsters' cruising around the periphery of his large array will definitely take the opportunity to attack again, entangled with him, waiting for the opportunity to tear off a piece of flesh. And now that he has lost nearly 200 warships, if there is any further damage, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the task of attacking Qiong across the sea even if he arrives in Leizhou. The more serious problem is that if you escape this time, you will meet again next time, and it will still be a vicious battle at that time.

The more Samudan thought about it, the more his head grew, but now he was not thinking about how to get out of the predicament, but how to annihilate the enemy army. In the end, he slapped his thigh, and finally made up his mind to fight with the enemy here, anyway, now he is not weaker than the enemy in terms of the number of ships or the quality of officers and soldiers, so he will first take these monsters in front of him, and then fight a decisive battle with the enemy brigade. And the reason why he decided to do this was because the military order was difficult to do, and Ali Hague was very strict in governing the army, and once he returned, he would not be able to reach Leizhou on time, I am afraid that he would save the fleet and not his own head.

Samudan had just made up his mind to fight the enemy, but the monsters had already taken the lead in attacking. They walked around the formation like the Mongol iron cavalry against the enemy's large array, and constantly fired stone bullets and crossbow arrows with 'bed crossbows', destroying their own warships and killing and wounding soldiers, as if looking for a flaw to break through the large array. After looking at it for a while, it seemed that there was something wrong, the head ship of those warships often fired chain bullets at a long distance to destroy the sail masts, and the warships behind fired stone bullets to destroy the protective measures such as the shipbuilding and the women's wall, as well as heavy equipment such as stone throwers and shooting rods, and then the rear ones killed and injured the soldiers who lost their protection with a dense rain of arrows. In the end, they launched a ram with the warships that had lost their 'minions' and lost power, and sent them to the bottom of the sea one by one.

Seeing that the enemy ship turned around and more than a dozen of his own warships were sunk and damaged, Samudan was angry and immediately ordered the warships on the periphery to intercept them, forcing them to change their navigation route, and ordered the catapult of the rear ship to fire stone projectiles to destroy the enemy ship. But he soon found that his countermeasures were not very bright, and those large warships with far better maneuverability than his own were able to fight, and they could dodge if they couldn't. Those who follow behind will wait for an opportunity to attack in a roundabout way, destroying their rods, and then charging from the flanks and back.

What made Samudan even more panicked was that these guys actually made an iron-backed shell, and it was difficult for their own bows and crossbows and even trebuchets to cause damage to them. And some soldiers ventured to jump into close combat with them, only to find that the side of the gunwale could only accommodate a foot, or tilted outward, it was really difficult to gain a foothold, and there were spears poked out of the portholes, and if you didn't let go, they would poke you into a transparent hole. But when you jump to the top, those cold and shining iron cones will instantly pierce the foot board and nail it there as a flagpole. It's still lucky, if it falls on top in a lying position or on its back, it becomes a sieve. Seeing that their companions had proved that the Jumping Gang and their melee combat were impossible at the cost of their lives, the rest felt that jumping into the sea was a better choice......

Peeling two layers of onion skins in a row, Chen Renweng was addicted. The skinned 'onions' also hurt so badly that they were outflanked by an army from each flank. He knew that he had really provoked the Tartar, this was to trap himself in it, peel and cramp, Chen Renweng knew very well that what the dragon boat was most afraid of was losing its mobility, and it would be difficult to get out once it was attacked by the enemy ship. What I like most is that if the enemy ship can move, then I have a chance to sink them. So he ordered the formation to be disbanded, and the two groups alternately covered the enemy's ships, taking advantage of the gap between the enemy ships to get out of the encirclement as soon as possible, and transferred his command to the command of the Brave Army.

At the sound of an order, the ships immediately stopped circling, and quickly dispersed to find a gap and break through after forming nearby. Before everyone could figure out why the command of the formation was handed over, they found that the Sharp played a difficult U-turn on the spot, avoided an enemy ship that tried to collide with it, passed opposite the side of the enemy ship, and used its sturdy hull to break the oars on one side of the enemy ship, but instead of breaking through outward, it rushed towards the enemy army.

'Knock, knock......' There was a sudden fierce drum sound on the battlefield, Chen Renweng heard that it was his own victory drum, and he didn't have to think about it, it must be that the officers and soldiers on the island could not give them material support, but could only give them spiritual encouragement.

"Do you dare to take the rank of general among the ten thousand armies?" Chen Renweng was full of pride and shouted loudly. He wants to learn from His Majesty to go into the tiger's den alone and turn the tide of the war.

"Destroy the enemy!" The deafening roar gave him the best answer...... (To be continued.) )
