Chapter 401: The War Begins
Before the war, Zhang Hongfan had already found that most of the ship formations arranged in the southwest of the Song army were large ships, so he calculated that it was where the Song army's imperial camp was located, and the soldiers defending it must also be elite soldiers, so he decided to personally lead the army to attack the military formation in the southwest of the Song army and capture the puppet emperor of the Song Dynasty.

"The enemy wants to break through the encirclement, rush to attack the enemy's village, and prevent him from escaping!" This kind of rocket army has been seen a few days ago, and it is impossible to prevent it, and you may not be able to blow you up if you stand still, but if you dodge, it may fall on your head. Anyway, it's a dilemma for you, it's not to hide, it's not to hide, and seeing them come again, it immediately caused a great panic. Zhang Hongfan is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, with rich experience in battle, and it is impossible to hide his intentions when he sees this, so he ordered loudly. Because he knew that even if there was no accident on Li Heng's side, the fleet he led was mostly small boats, and it was difficult to stop the big ships of the Song army that broke through with the help of the tide. And such a dense rocket attack can only wait to be beaten if it does not move, and only by rushing to the corner of their shooting can it avoid the bombardment.
The sound of 'Dangdang' turned into a fierce war drum of 'Dong Bang Bang Bang', and Zhang Hongzheng led the Yuan Army's vanguard army to rush to the Song Army's water village with the ferocious current. The alarm bell on the Song army's side also rang for a long time, and the soldiers who hurriedly went to the village rushed over there. According to the plan, Zhang Hongfan should lag behind the forward army, and he was caught off guard by the Song army, so that they could look south. But the short-sighted rockets fell exclusively into his camp, although none of them had landed on his handsome ship, but every explosion made people shudder, and he couldn't stand the torment and ordered to join the attack.
"What kind of battle is this?" Zhang Hongfan, who was on the handsome ship, looked at the warship that was hit by the rocket and sighed. In order to facilitate the engagement and crossing of the ship, he not only used the stern of the ship to meet the enemy in retrograde, but also set up an elevated frame higher than the Song ship to arrange archers, and covered the whole ship with a curtain, so that the soldiers could hide in it, so that they could hide the soldiers and defend against the arrows fired by the enemy and the stone projectiles fired by the stone throwers. And in the face of the whistling rockets, it was no bullshit, and the violent explosion overturned the elevated road, blew the flesh and blood of the archers sideways, ignited the covered curtains, exposed the hidden soldiers, and burned them to hide everywhere, it was simply chaotic.
"The trebuchet is fired, the archers are ready, the violators are killed!" Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, some of the ships that were shot caught caught fire, some of the shipbuildings were blown up, and the soldiers were cowardly, Zhang Hongfan drew his knife and shouted loudly.
The Yuan army was known for its strict military law, and as Zhang Hongfan's order was conveyed, under the pressure of the general's bullets, order was quickly restored, and the rockets of the Song army near Shuizhai gradually lost their effectiveness, and they counterattacked as soon as they entered the firing range. The Song army defending on the wall of the Song army wall also blocked the approach of the enemy ship with bows and crossbows, and shot the exposed Yuan army......
…………
"Stop shooting!" Zhao Yu put down the binoculars and raised his hand. Due to the very fast speed of the enemy's ships and the poor accuracy of the rockets, this round of fierce rocket attacks not only disrupted the enemy's offensive rhythm and played an early warning role, but the effect was not ideal, and only destroyed and damaged more than 30 enemy ships, while the wounded enemy ships were still able to move.
"Your Majesty, the enemy army is approaching, let's take shelter in the cabin!" Ni Liang saw that the vanguard warship of the Yuan army had approached the wall, and it was less than three hundred steps away from them, which was already within the range of the strong crossbow, and he stepped forward and said.
"Not necessarily!" Zhao Yu walked up to the high platform on the deck, looked at the battlefield with a telescope, and said coldly, Ni Liang immediately asked the guards to step forward and form a shield formation to protect His Majesty.
Zhao Hao looked due south, and the stone throwers on the Song warships kept throwing stones, flaming fireballs, and thunderbolts at the enemy ships, stopping the enemy from advancing. But the enemy ships advanced despite casualties. Zhang Shijie sent a fleet out of the village to block the enemy, but was quickly defeated by the Yuan army, what made people angry was that the main general immediately erected a flag and fell to the enemy, but the flag was Zhang Shijie's general Chen Bao.
Lost the perimeter protection, the Yuan army warship braved the rain of arrows and quickly rushed to the front of the wall, the water village formed by the Song army warship shook violently under the violent impact, but fortunately it was not knocked away, and the enemy soldiers took the opportunity to jump to help cross the boat, and the two sides immediately scuffled together, desperately fighting for the wall. But after all, the soldiers of the Yuan army were limited, and the Song army relied on the strong strength of the troops to repel the Yuan army again and again, and there was no worry for the time being.
Then turn to the southwest battlefield, at this time the Song army will run out of arrows, the density is greatly reduced, take advantage of this opportunity The enemy ship quickly approached, and the Yuan soldiers who were lying behind the shield immediately opened the barrier and shot a dense rain of arrows, taking advantage of the Song army's evasion, they jumped to help the boat to fight. These Yuan troops were obviously the elite of the army, and the Song army was defeated for a while and was driven off the wall, and more Yuan soldiers successfully crossed the ship and wanted to seize the warship. The Song army also relied on the shipbuilding and the women's wall to defend stubbornly, and mobilized troops from other warships to drive the enemy off the ship.
"What a fighter!" Zhao Yu looked at the generals who commanded the southwest defense with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other hand to lead the soldiers to fight the enemy, and actually stopped the enemy's offensive, and couldn't help but praise.
"Your Majesty, the situation is not in my favor!" Lu Xiufu also went up to the deck at some point and muttered.
"Yes, the Yuan army is brave, but we only need to resist their offensive to have a chance!" Zhao Yu said without replying. He looked around the entire battlefield, and at this time there were more and more enemy ships coming up, and the two armies were caught in a melee, with the sound of cannons, shouts and cries of killing shaking the sky, the sound of drums, wails, screams, the sound of waves and the sound of bows and arrows, swords, guns and swords intertwined, and the gray cliff sea bows, stone cannons, and artillery fired in unison, arrows and stones flew one after another, and smoke filled the air.
"Well, the enemy army in the north has been dispersed, and Taifu Zhang has already transferred troops and reinforcements from there!" Lu Xiufu nodded, but his face was still gloomy, worried about something.
"Your Majesty, the Destroyer Army has moved in place!" At this time, Zheng Yong walked over and leaned down and whispered in the little emperor's ear.
"Good!" Zhao Hao didn't say much, bowed slightly, raised his hand and shook off the rain that was stuck to the camera, raised his glasses again, and looked through the rain and fog to the rear of the enemy formation, only to see that there were only a few warships left alone in place......
