Chapter 822: Bombardment of the Rising Dragon
Chapter 822: Shelling Shenglong
On the Yuanjiang River, two giant ships, Taishan and Ningyuan, were full of sails, taking advantage of the strong northeast wind to trace the river.
The Wonjiang River is deep, but the water flow in the lower reaches of Thang Long Province is slow, especially now that it is just over winter, it is the dry season, and the current has little effect on sailing boats.
On the south bank of the Yuan River, a cavalry unit was also galloping, but the speed of their long-distance march was not as fast as that of a sailing ship at full speed.
This is the Zhenrong army led by Wu Kui, in addition to the two giant ships, there are also Wu Kui's 3,000 Zhenrong cavalry, and half of the 1,500 Yijin new army.
Behind them, there are the subordinate ** of Wu Yangyang, the team of Zhenla and Champa.
There were also hundreds of elephants in the ranks, and the Cham people had more elephants than the Cochins, and this time they almost came out of the nest.
Jiaozhi County on the south bank of the Yuan River, the army is extremely empty, Li Changjie deployed all his troops on the front line of the Fuliang River, and blocked the Guangnan Navy Division in the Fuliang River, I thought it was foolproof, but unexpectedly, the sharpest fangs of the Song army were not exposed until this moment, and they bit into the soft belly of Jiaozhi!
In this battle, Su You didn't want to defeat Jiaozhi; What he wants is to take this place that has been separated from the homeland of China for hundreds of years at the most insignificant price!
The Cochin people didn't even have time to deliver a letter to Thang Long Mansion now, and even if their ponies ran to death, they couldn't match the speed of the schooner.
Su You stood on the ship's floor, and next to him was a middle-aged beautiful man dressed in the ambassador's surrender color, Di Yong.
Looking at the open water in front of him, Su You turned his head to look at Sun Neng, who was leaping on the side, Chao Buzhi, Ping Zhengsheng: "Wang Zhongzheng is supervising the army in Taiwei Guo, and Li Xian is fighting against the Jiaozhi Naval Division with half of the new army, and it is a hard battle on their side, so almost all the command staff have been handed over to them." β
"Ganchen, the firepower of the whole ship has been handed over to you, and in addition, the communication command of the two ships is raised by you, and your responsibility is not small."
The two bowed: "Teacher, don't worry, we will do a good job." β
Seeing Ping Zhengsheng wearing a gorgeous family armor, and the phoenix wings flying up from the helmet were a foot long, Su You was very satisfied with this bait: "Zhengsheng, where is your cut feather tree?" β
Ping Zhengsheng took the hand that was half-pressed by the armor piece and patted the two lacquered sheathed long knives on his waist: "Don't worry!" The task of protecting you and Grandma Fairy is entrusted to me! β
Su You said: "Then I'll go and rest for a while, remember to put Di Dianshuai and them down thirty miles away from Shenglong Mansion." β
The three of them stood up together: "Yes!" β
Taiping Village at the mouth of the Yuanjiang River, only a hundred nautical miles to the waterway of Thang Long Mansion, and in just five hours, the huge ship full of sails arrived at the surface of the Yuan River outside Thang Long Mansion!
The hull of the ship is like a long whale going out to sea, and the wings of the sail are like white clouds hanging from the sky!
Sun Neng put down the binoculars: "Drop anchor, drop the mainmast, open the gun hatch, and prepare for the thunderbolt shooting!" β
"Prepare to shootβ"
"Prepare to shootβ"
The sailors and gunners of the Tarzan began to get busy.
The flag conveyed the command to the Ning Yuan ship, and the Ning Yuan ship also began to fall into a tense atmosphere.
Su You came out of the captain's room with Shi Wei, holding on to the railing with both hands, and looking at the mud-walled city on the river bank in the distance: "This is the Shenglong Mansion, with the mountains and water at your back, the feng shui seems to be good......
Sun Neng walked in front of Su You: "Qi Yu Shaobao, our ship has arrived outside the Shenglong Mansion at three o'clock on February 3, the tenth year of Xining, please give instructions!" β
Su You took the record book and signed it, and handed it to Chao Buzhi: "Execute it according to the original plan." β
The arrival of the two giant ships frightened Thang Long Mansion inexplicably, and the bells of several Buddhist temples rang out in the setting sun.
The banners on the city were scattered, and countless figures rushed out from the north gate, apparently the capital garrison, which was seizing the important places around Thang Long Mansion.
Several galloping horses rushed out from the east and west at the same time, undoubtedly a messenger to find reinforcements in neighboring prefectures.
Still others ran to the pier, where there were some small boats.
Su You said: "Knock out that dock first." β
Zhang Qi received the order: "Attack the No. 2 target first!" Flag bearer, inform Ning Yuan! β
Confirming that Ning Yuan had received the order, Zhang Qi pointed at the Shenglong Mansion: "Attack!" β
"Attackβ"
"Attackβ"
In the blink of an eye, the command was conveyed to the lower artillery bays, and then a series of loud bangs erupted with "boom, boom.
The hull of the Tarzan shook suddenly, from the bow to the stern, more than a dozen streams of gunpowder smoke rose in a row, and the huge schooner also had a slight deviation from the bow to the stern because of the recoil of the thunderbolt cannon.
The observer looked nervously through the theodolite, and after three seconds, Su You saw countless columns of water and huge yellow smoke and dust rising from the pier under Thang Long Mansion.
Wooden pillars, planks, and straw sheds were blown up and fluttered, and the ships in the harbor were torn apart and destroyed.
The mast broke and fell, and the dock was like an ant's nest filled with boiling water, and countless small black dots fled from the dock.
The Ningyuan also opened fire, and at the same time that the roaring cannon sound sounded on the side of the Taishan, the explosion at the port of Thang Long was also fired back by the continuous mountain behind Thang Long Mansion.
There are countless fragments of war blockbusters in Su You's memory, but none of them are as shocking as they are in person.
Shi Wei stretched out her hand to hold Su You's arm, this husband has always been so gentle, gentle, and even a little lazy in her heart.
With such a temperament, he can't practice martial arts at all, and even gymnastics has to rely on the supervision of a flat tank.
But such a person has now unleashed the power that no flesh and blood, any camp, or even any city in this world can resist.
After two rounds of firing between the Taishan and the Ningyuan, the dock had become a mess and ruins, and Sun Neng gave the order and replaced it with a more valuable target.
The sergeants went up to deck, loaded with guns, on guard against enemy ships that might rush out of the harbor.
However, not a single ship came out, not a single cochin ship, daring to rush out of the smoke and attack the two giant beasts that could erupt fire and steel.
Soon there was another round of shooting, and countless bright spots flashed on the walls of Thang Long City, this time targeting the Wangque on the north gate and the city gate below.
The Wangyun of Thang Long Mansion is also a mud wall and tile roof, and it collapsed and fell in the firelight in a blink of an eye.
A few shells apparently swept over the walls and fell into the city, and it was evening cooking time when black smoke rose from the city, apparently a fire.
There was a faint exclamation and cry from the city in the distance, and Sun Neng asked, "Shaobao, do you want to continue?" β
Su You looked at Thang Long City at sunset: "Be on guard, wait for them to send an envoy to come." Continue to observe and mark the elements. The Ganchen had just commanded very well, and not a single round of shooting was wasted. β
Sun Neng nodded, and went down to order the sergeant to go on duty.
Shi Wei looked at the smoke-filled Shenglong City: "Brother Xiaoyou, the war, is this over?" β
Su You looked ahead coldly: "If the Jiaozhi people understand politics...... It should be over. β
The dark clouds gathered in the sky, the sky suddenly became dark, and several rumbling thunders sounded outside the mountains on the north bank of the Yuan River, which actually caused an exclamation in Thang Long City.
Ripples began to appear on the river, and a night rain fell.
Shi Wei said: "The sky has changed, and the rainy season is coming. β
Su You exhaled lightly: "Although the rain came a little early, but God, this time it was on our side." β
In February of the tenth year of Xining, the Song army won a decisive victory in the Battle of Jiaozhi.
In the Battle of Fuliangjiang, the East Road was a turning point with Li Xian's strong attack on the Yuanjiang Naval Division, which made Li Changjie's strategic intentions completely defeated.
At the same time, Guo Kui's pocket array annihilated the Jiaozhi Eastern Route Army, killing more than 10,000 people and capturing 8,000 people.
The Western Route Army took Yanda's timely rush to Baihedang as the turning point, and the cavalry army and the Dali army successfully sniped Li Changjie's attempt to attack the Song army after a bloody battle.
After Guo Kui solved the east road, the whole army faced the battle, and Li Changjie saw that the opportunity was not good, so he hurriedly retreated.
However, at this moment, a battlefield change that neither the Song army nor the Vietnamese army expected occurred.
Kuizhou Yiyong, who was originally used by Guo Kui as an idle man and should still be in a hurry, did not take the usual road, inexplicably touched Li Changjie's rear, and together with Liu Ji's remnant army, he secretly attacked Li Changjie's army guarding the ferry, burning and sinking more than half of the more than 300 ferries, leaving only seventy or eighty boats!
