Chapter 116 This is the middle -4

At the same time as the fierce battle at sea, the Heng Navy had already divided a partial division, which was between the fleet of the Great Eater Haikou and the land. The Great Food Samurai returned from the shore, and as soon as their boats sailed into the deep sea, they became the prey of the Song army's sailors. Compared with the small boats of the Haikou, the Song army can be called a behemoth, relying on the majesty of the boat, rampage on the sea, crushing the boats of more than a dozen people, like a car running over the mantis. The ship was destroyed, and the rest struggled desperately in the sea.

The crossbowmen of the Song army leaned on the side and kept shooting arrows to kill the pirates, blooming with blood. Unable to return to his ship, he had to swim to the shore again. At this time, the sailors of the Song army chased after them with sword boats, and stabbed the enemy to death in the sea with spears from a distance. When the sea invaders on the shore saw this scene, they were all terrified, and they no longer dared to take a small boat into the sea, but could only wait on the shore and pray to Allah for the great Sultan fleet to defeat the infidels and bring back those who had fallen on the shore.

However, the sky darkened little by little, the warships of the Great Eclipse continued to sink, and the rest also lost their formation and fled for their lives, and the hearts of the Great Cannibals waiting on the shore also sank little by little, and many people showed a desperate and crazy look in their eyes. The flags in the distance swayed, the smoke and dust billowed out, and the Song army infantry of the brigade surrounded them from the southwest and northwest respectively. More than 1,000 pirates had to leave the beach, temporarily occupy a steamed bun-shaped hill, and stick their shields on the ground to defend them.

The news of wanton burning and looting has already spread, and the people along the coast are like frightened birds, the county town closes its gates at noon, and the countryside and towns are depressed. Everyone gritted their teeth with hatred when they mentioned it. In the southeast, both sides of the Yangtze River were the areas most invaded by the Liao army, and the gentry of the prefectures and counties were also very supportive of the formation of drill regiments. It is to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and it is used for a while. The men and horses who came to encircle and suppress the Haikou, except for a few horizontal naval infantry horses, most of them were regiments in Huaiyang, Suzhou and Hangzhou. After the Song army arrived, they saw that Haikou was shrinking into defense, and immediately surrounded them.

The banners of the Song army were chaotic, and they did not belong to each other. Han Shangde, the commander of the horizontal navy, could only barely coordinate, and could not restrain the generals. Han Shangde wanted to wait for the end of the war at sea to solve this remnant in one go. And the defense of Xiuzhou made Mo Li anxious to make meritorious contributions, and there were few people in the sea to bully, so he first let the regiment rush upwards with the rattan card, and was shot back by a burst of dense arrows, killing and injuring dozens of regimental soldiers. Seeing this, the regimental training of other prefectures and counties refused to rush upward, and some prefecture regimental training archers threw bows and arrows towards the hills, and the regimental training of Pingjiang Prefecture set up a fire gun and put it up. I saw arrows flying sideways, black smoke rising, and the siege scene was very chaotic, however, the Great Eater Sea Kou was cowering in a shield array like a turtle's shell, and the arrows and fire guns really didn't hurt it much.

"Damn," Han Shang turned his face and spat out, "a flock of stupid birds." ”

"With this way of playing, you won't be able to eat it when it's dark." Huang Qi, the protector of the army, looked at the big cannibal turtle formation worriedly, "The top priority now is to set up a camp to prevent the pirates from breaking through at night." The big cannibal is not afraid of death, and the knife is proficient, if you can't catch it all, let it wander in the countryside, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. ”

"You have to be willing to listen to the adults," Han Shangzhi shook his head in his heart, "One tail cocked to the sky." ”

After Han Shizhong chose the Qingliu method, he drastically introduced scholars, and the soldiers also recommended military envoys, which caused the dissatisfaction of many old officers. Han Shangzhi was born in the military, but Huang Qi, the protector of the army, was a talented person, and the two of them couldn't pee in the same pot. After a few times of not speculating, Han Shangzhi was no longer willing to deal with Huang Qiduo. According to his calculations, when will he not get rich at this time? If you want to go into battle, the nearby prefectures and counties will say that they will not agree to a pension salary. And Huang Qi didn't remind it, it's okay, this reminder, maybe the state and county regimental training will rely on the Heng Navy.

Seeing that Han Shang was noncommittal, Huang Qi thought to himself for a while, and stopped talking, but he still couldn't help but didn't speak again.

"What a fierce soldier." Yang Kechang, the envoy of the city department, glanced at the Henghai Navy, who was obviously unable to work, turned around, and smiled at Liu Chengyou, the deputy envoy for the defense of Chuzhou: "General Liu has come to help, and this time it will be useful." His eyes fell not far away, and the gunners from Chuzhou were busy lining up the five iron barrel cannons, pointing the muzzles of the cannons at the hill guarded by the Great Food Haikou.

Huating County is the location of the Liangzhejiang Road City, and since the rebellion of the Haikou Army, the military department has successively transferred more than a dozen large and small artillery pieces from Hangzhou to assist in the defense. And because there were no gunners in Huating County, Liu Chengyou invited gunners from Chuzhou to teach the Huating County regiment to practice artillery drills. There were a lot of regiments from nearby states and counties, and the only ones who really knew how to operate artillery were the people from Chuzhou. Therefore, although Liu Chengyou was only a small deputy defense envoy, Yang Kechang was also extremely polite to him.

"Lord Yang has won the award," Liu Chengyou said humbly, his face was a little reserved, "When the teacher saw the letter, he sent the last general." ”

Yang Kechang nodded: "Mr. Fuxiu, the people of several counties in this area have thanked you." He was secretly glad in his heart that he had never treated Liu Chengyou as an ordinary general. The two stood behind the artillery barracks, watching the Chuzhou gunners skillfully adjust the muzzles and carry the ammunition, Yang Kechang couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Since the Liao army invaded the south, the important state cities have placed iron barrel cannons, but the gunners are extremely difficult to train, and the enemy troops under the city will only attack the muzzles of the cannons.

Yang Kechang's face fell into his eyes, and Liu Chengyou couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

When the Henghai Navy was first stationed in Chuzhou, there were some conflicts with the local government. After the two sides made peace, they began to exchange courtesies. Liu Chengyou heard his wife talk about Mrs. Hou of the East China Sea with the local accent of Chuzhou, so he asked his wife to test Li Hongyu, and learned that although she was from a humble background, her parents died when she was a child, and she was sold to Lefang by traffickers, but she was indeed from Chuzhou, and her mother's family vaguely remembered her surname Liang. So, Liu Chengyou became a caring person, not only helped Li Hongyu rebuild her parents' tomb, but also helped her find some distant relatives of the Liang family. Later, under the persuasion of Li Hongyu, when Chuzhou was practicing artillery, Han Shizhong sent a team of artillery commanders to assist in the drill, and with sufficient food and salary, the gunners trained by the Chuzhou regiment soon exceeded the level of other prefectures and counties.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The flames flickered, the cannons roared, the round iron cannonballs fell into the tortoise formation one by one, the sea pirates' shields were no different from the papier-mΓ’chΓ©, where the cannonballs swept, sawdust and flesh flew everywhere, and the pirates were killed and wounded, screaming one after another, and they could no longer defend on the hills. Under the continuous bombardment of artillery, the Great Food Samurai did not hold out for long before he shouted and rushed down the hill in desperation.

The front of the impact of the Great Food Sea Kou is the defense line of the Pingjiang Prefecture regimental training. The regimental officers of Pingjiang Prefecture used firearms, but just now the regimental soldiers indiscriminately shot out the ammunition, and saw the big food samurai rushing towards this side fearlessly, many people were so frightened that the three souls lost seven souls, some of the regimental training officers were stunned on the spot, and some were in a hurry and didn't know how to give orders, and most of the regimental soldiers didn't have time to shoot and stab, and the big food samurai killed in front of them. I saw the sword glittering,

"Mom!" "Run for your life!" Screams rang out again and again.

Almost a moment later, the Pingjiang Prefecture regimental training collapsed, and only a few people were still fighting in vain with the Great Food Samurai, and most of them only hated their father and mother for having two legs, desperately fleeing in all directions. Seeing that these Song troops were so vulnerable, Da Shi Haikou became even more arrogant. The Great Cannibals live in tribes. Ordinary fights between tribes, killing people and seeing blood are common. The tribal men are proud of their courage and ruthlessness, and they can't survive anymore, so those in the desert will be robbers, and those who are close to the sea will be sea bandits. These warriors who were recruited to the East to plunder were among them who were not afraid of death. At this moment, the Pingjiang Mansion regiment practiced its own chaotic formation, and was killed by these big foods, which was like a tiger entering the flock. I saw the scimitar flying like a wheel, running like the wind, the cold light flashing, the blood splashing, like chopping melons and vegetables, and the regimental training soldiers could only cry and flee for their lives.

"Catch up and kill them!" Mihadi's eyes were red, and he waved his sword and raised his arms and shouted, "Let's kill all these infidels!" ”

"Idiot!" Apra scolded, "Stupid guy, hurry up and get out!" ”

However, the Great Eater Bandits belong to more than a dozen ships and come from dozens of tribes, and it is not easy to assemble and act. And a moment later, as soon as the Pingjiang Prefecture regimental training had fled, the Henghai Navy and the Chuzhou regimental training Yanding arrived, and the front team of the Hengjiang Navy lined up side by side to form a shield wall, and the rear team released arrows while marching, and there were cavalry waiting for the opportunity to move. Before they could see their faces, many of them were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Chuzhou Yanding is the thorn in the eye of the southeast salt lord, has always lived a life of licking blood with a knife, this battle is related to the gains and losses of the two Zhejiang Road City Ship Division, the two Zhejiang Road City Ship Division promised a heavy reward, more than 100 salt Ding saw that the big food Haikou was about to rush out to surround it, just like a pile of silver money to run away with long feet, immediately roared and followed the Heng Navy to come over to fight.

"Rush! A pirate head, a hundred rewards! Yan Ding Yang Jiu's eyes were red and he shouted loudly: "One hundred, one hundred!"

The suffering of covering the world is nothing more than the salt people, boiling the sea and boiling salt, going up the mountain to chop countless firewood, guarding the huge stove scorching, a whole year of smoke and fire, but the salt people are all four walls, in case of disaster, they have to sell their sons and daughters, these Chuzhou salt are all selected from the salt people, under the heavy reward, all the eyes are red, staring at those big food sea cowards. It's just that there are only more than 100 people who come with Liu Chengyou, and they are thin in manpower, and they don't dare to go forward to fight alone.

"Who's shouting again!" Han Shangzhi reprimanded with a displeased face: "If you disturb the morale of the army, I will behead someone!" What are you panicking about? The salt Ding stopped clamoring, and he ordered: "Release the arrows first, release the arrows!" ”

Under the cover of the sword and shield hands, the archers of the Henghai Navy were only more than thirty steps away from the Great Eater Sea Kou, and one by one they had already bent their bows and arrows, and a cluster of arrows and feathers shot out. The formation of the pirates was immediately chaotic, and people kept screaming at arrows, and the pirates did not dare to rush to the defense line on this side, and fled in the other direction. The cavalry of the Henghai Navy immediately galloped in pursuit, and the cavalry roared loudly, their spears stabbed, and slashed indiscriminately. Haikou suffered from the lack of horses, and although he tried his best to escape, he could not outrun four legs on two legs, and fell to the ground one by one in the earth-shattering shouts of the Heng Navy.
