Chapter 747: Water Battle Surges Golden Gate (II)
Under the impetus of another torrent of rapids, more than a dozen small boats have jumped towards the Yongjin Gate like flying, and many soldiers have thrown hooks and ropes in their hands, and just wait for the position to throw them out to hook and pull the city gate, and some people have set rockets on fire, intending to set fire to the gate, with the sturdiness of this water gate, maybe it will really be severely damaged by the various means of the people on more than ten ships.
The soldiers of the Wu army, who finally noticed this change, also panicked, and no longer continued to fire arrows at the big ships that were about to lose range, but instead dumped all the weapons at hand towards the small boats that were getting closer and closer. However, this time the effect of their attack on the enemy was not as significant as before, because taking advantage of this time, several small boats had already sailed into the blind spot of the city's sight, and neither arrows nor wood and stones could reach them.
Li Jun and other Song soldiers, who had already withdrawn for a long distance, cheered when they saw this, and then the horn rose again, and the large and small ships rushed towards Yongjinmen again. This time, their purpose was no longer to destroy the enemy on their own, but to create more favorable conditions for those small boats near the water gate.
Only because of the influence of the waves, Zhang Shun's ship failed to rush over at the first time, and when he wanted to make such a move again, the arrows above had fallen like raindrops, so that he had to give up the decision to rush again, and could only retreat slightly, and he was still a little annoyed in his heart: "It seems that the first merit of breaking the city cannot be taken." Knowing that this Yongjinmen was so bad, he should have persuaded Brother Gongming to devote all his brothers to this battle! ”
Li Jun, who continued to press forward from behind, suddenly felt a shock in his heart at this time, and felt a little wrong. Because he raised his eyes, the Wu army in the city actually stabilized at this time, and turned his attention to his own big boat, and didn't care about those more threatening small boats, what was going on?
The answer was revealed a moment later, and the boats had just reached their best position and were about to do so, when suddenly the boats shook and stopped. This surprised everyone on the boat, you must know that the river water behind is still pouring endlessly, and the thrust is full, how can a small boat suddenly stop horizontally?
Someone hurriedly leaned down to take a closer look under the water, and then exclaimed loudly: "There is something under the water that entangles our boat, it is a fishing net...... The rebels have laid layers of fishing nets here early in the morning, and a hard rush will only trap all the ships here, and it will be impossible to move an inch! ”
This discovery immediately alarmed everyone, because their position was really awkward at this time, not only disconnected from their own fleet, but also some distance from the Yongjin Gate in front of them, not to the point of destroying the city gate. And more importantly, since the enemy has made such arrangements, how can there be no plan for the next step?
The uneasiness in their hearts made some of the sailors immediately think of retreating, but no matter how they rowed back, the boat entangled in layers of fishing nets could not move at all, and at most it spun in circles, and in this way, the boat was entangled tighter, and the situation became more and more dangerous.
The ships in the rear also saw their danger, and Li Jun immediately shouted: "Quick, send a few ships over to respond!" ”
Zhang Shun, who had not been able to rush to the forefront before, heard this, and without saying a word, he had already led a few small boats to go there quickly. As a master of water warfare on the water for many years, he quickly judged the exact location of that dangerous area, and under his command, several small boats that received them easily avoided the fishing nets and landed firmly on the river at a distance from the trapped boats.
But just as the sergeants on those boats were about to jump into the water and swim over, the variables regenerated.
With a creak, the previously closed Yongjin Gate suddenly opened, and a row of small boats had rushed out against the current. Only a glance from a distance, Zhang Shun saw the doorway, Wu Jun actually set up another gate in the Yongjin Gate, and then impounded the water to lift, so that these ships between the two gates were in a higher position than the river outside, and now as soon as the door was opened, the water flowed down to the ground, and then carried this small boat out of the current.
Strangely, there were no soldiers on these boats. But after seeing the jars and jars on the boat, as well as the hay covered with hay, Zhang Shun's whole face was distorted in shock: "Jump off the ship, they are going to attack with fire!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, several more ships appeared inside the city gate, but they did not rush out again, and they were full of archers. With a command, countless rockets were quickly shot out and landed on the empty ships that were still rushing forward. With a bang, the empty ships became fireships and sped up and crashed forward.
All this happened so fast that the hundreds of soldiers trapped on the ship could not react, let alone take this opportunity to jump ship to escape. So, a terrible scene happened in front of Zhang Shun's eyes, those fireboats crashed directly into the trapped ships, and while making the people above stagger, they quickly set fire to the ships they were in, and also ignited the bodies of these helpless soldiers, making them scream, and at the same time, some people didn't care about anything else, so they jumped into the water below.
However, the situation in the water was also very complicated at this time, as the entanglement of the boat lifted the fishing nets that had sunk to the bottom, and when a sergeant jumped headlong in a panic, he was also entangled in these nets. Suddenly, their hands and feet were tied, and the more they struggled, the tighter they were bound, no matter how good the water was, they could only scream, waiting for the fire on the boat around them to spread and swallow themselves.
The miserable and desperate screams continued to echo on the river, so that the Song soldiers in the rear couldn't bear to hear it, Zhang Shun gritted his teeth and looked at all this, he really hated to replace him with his body and desperately try to rescue some people. But reason told him that this was unrealistic, and that not only could he not save people in the past, but he would also put his life into it.
Li Jun, who was further behind, also looked depressed, thinking that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, but he didn't want the enemy to design it a long time ago, if it wasn't for the enemy's desperate efforts to block it before, the big ship under his feet would have to fold in front of this Yongjin Gate. Now it seems that we can only admit defeat and retreat......
It's a pity that those soldiers who were trapped and died in the fire, they were all brothers in the Liangshan Boshui Army, but they didn't die on the battlefield fighting with the official army, but they were aggrieved by the anti-army design and died tragically under the fire.
Just as Li Jun made up his mind and wanted to give up today's siege and retreat, the ships under him suddenly shook, and then the surrounding soldiers exclaimed: "It's not good, we also have fishing nets down there......"
"What's going on? Couldn't you come and go just now, where did these nets come from? ”
After seeing the miserable experience of the comrades in front of them, in addition to anger, the soldiers of the Song army felt unspeakable panic in their hearts. Now, after discovering that his boat was actually entangled in fishing nets, this fear has multiplied, because it means that he will most likely face the same fate as the screaming Paozawa brothers in front of him.
"I should have thought that since they had already set up arrangements, how could they only set up an ambush in front of the Yongjin Gate, but vacate a large area of the river in front of them?" Li Jun regretted it greatly, and at the same time figured out the root cause.
In fact, there were already layers of fishing nets under the surface of the water that he was driving on, and it stands to reason that he should have been entangled and difficult to get out of the first round of attacks. However, because of the rapid rise of the river due to the release of water from the upper reaches of the river, the nets fell to a position where they could not affect the navigation of the boats.
If this is the case, it will naturally not be any problem for the Song Junshui Division. But later, in order to wipe out the Song army trapped in front of the Yongjin Gate, they suddenly opened the city gate. Although the position of the river was raised again at first, but soon, as the waterway was completely unblocked, the river in front of the city gate was much shallower. In this way, the nets can once again pose a threat to the boats above.
As a large ship with a heavier tonnage and a lower waterline, it is naturally affected more quickly, and it is quickly entangled in layers of fishing nets.
"Quick! Adjust the sails, use the wind to pull off the fishing nets below, and we'll get out of here first! Soon, Li Jun had regained his composure and hurriedly ordered. After all, a big boat is different from a small boat, it has stronger power, and the small fishing net can be trapped?
Just when the Song army's ships quickly changed their tactics and wanted to retreat. The drums at the head of the city became urgent again, and the ships that had remained in the city gate suddenly mustered up their strength, rushed out as fast as they could, and slaughtered outward.
Compared with the warships outside, which had at least twenty or thirty people in one boat, these small boats that rushed out had only seven or eight people per boat, and all of them were naked, with only a few weapons such as bows and arrows. As a result, the waterline of these boats was more than half shallower than that of the Song army's small boats, and they actually rushed through the waters densely covered with fishing nets and ropes, and killed the big ships in front of them who were trying to get rid of the entanglement.
The two sides were still some distance away, and with the shouting and shouting, the arrows, spears and other weapons were ignited and flew towards the three large ships, vowing to leave all these enemies in front of the Yongjin Gate.
In this way, the situation of the soldiers on the big ship is dangerous. Their movements were already blocked, and their targets were so big that they couldn't dodge the dense fire attacks, and they suddenly started to burn everywhere.
Zhang Shun, who had already wanted to lead other boats back, saw this, but he was furious: "It's really too much to deceive people, is it really my Liangshan brother who is so easy to deceive?" He immediately untied the single clothes on his body, and then put the short knife on his waist to his mouth, and shouted: "Brothers, go into the water to fight the enemy!" As soon as the words fell, the person had already puffed into the cold river.
After only a little hesitation, the other sailors followed suit and plunged into the water with their swords.
As the ace army of Liang Shanbo, they are not only able to fight in boats on the water, but they are even more dragons in the water!
