"Attack in formation!" The generals of the various warships of the cadre army and the naval division gave orders one after another.

Under the command of their respective officers and colonels, the generals formed a formation on their own ships to attack, some in units and some in units.

Under this organized offensive formation, although it was on a warship, it was extremely effective to form a small force to cooperate with the cover of the attack, while the Song army's naval divisions did not have this training, and they fought separately when they carried out broadside battles, and rarely cooperated with cover.

The Song army's offensive in the battle was quickly blocked by a small army formation of the cadre army, and although the Song generals tried their best to mobilize their forces to carry out a fixed-point breakthrough, they were still blocked.

The soldiers of the cadre army, who had the advantage in strength, quickly stabilized their positions and launched a counterattack, while the warships of the cadre army surrounded from both sides also attacked at this time, and the warships on the periphery of the Song army were frequently hit, and the people turned on their backs, and the morale of the army was shaken.

Fan Tong, the general of the Song Army's Naval Division, felt bad, the front offensive was blocked, and he couldn't rush to the flagship of the Dry Army's Naval Division, if the two wings were caught for too long, the Song Army's Naval Division would definitely collapse, and he immediately ordered the adjutant general Liu Su: "General Liu, you are sitting here, and you are going to personally lead people to take the head of the enemy's general!" ”

Liu Su immediately clenched his fists and said: "General, are you the chief general, or are you sitting here, and the last general will lead his troops to attack the enemy's flagship!" ”

Fan Tong waved his hand and said categorically: "This is a military order, once the enemy's flagship is cut down by me, you immediately order it to spread throughout the army to launch a counterattack!" ”

"Yes, General!"

Fan Tong immediately ordered a boatload of soldiers to kill the flagship of the cadre army.

When the warships of the two sides collided, each had damage, the Qianjun side was mostly new ships, and the wood was hard, and the Song army's naval division was mostly old ships with loose wood, and the losses of the Qianjun warships were small, while the Song army's warships suffered large losses, but the Song army had the idea of breaking down the rear fleet of the Qianjun army with all its might, and the momentum was rapid when the impact was rapid, and the time the generals were on the ship, and the balance of their bodies was stronger than that of the Qianjun when they were on the boat, and they reacted faster, and most of the Song troops in the contact parts of the fleet rushed to the Qianjun ships.

The cadres lost three rows of warships one after another to stabilize their position, and the Song army could not complete the breakthrough no matter how they attacked, so Fan Tong personally led his troops to charge and seize the warships.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the general is here!" The captain who opened the way shouted loudly in front.

Fan Tong rushed forward with a big knife in his hand, and a cadre and soldier led the soldiers to meet him, and was killed by Fan Tong on the spot, which reminded the officers and men of the Song Army.

"Kill—"

Fan Tong was strong in force, and the effect of personally leading the troops to rush and kill was indeed obvious, and the officers and soldiers rushed in, and the generals and colonels led by the cadres were all killed by him, and the morale quickly fell, and the Song army was killed one after another, and soon lost two rows of warships.

Xu Yibao, who was on the flagship of the Cadre Army's Naval Division, frowned as he found that his own situation was unfavorable, and if he could not completely defeat the Song Army's men on the left and right flanks and block the impact momentum of the Song Army's Naval Division's broadside battle, it was very likely that the other side would attack the flagship, but the flagship could not retreat, and once it retreated, the officers and men of the entire fleet would no longer have the courage to continue fighting, and the thousands of warships in the front team would be finished.

Xu Yibao hugged his fist at Zhao Junsheng and said: "Your Majesty, at present, the situation is unfavorable to our army, but as long as the flagship does not retreat and the flag does not fall, our army will not be defeated, Your Majesty is too dangerous here, just in case, please ask Your Majesty to retreat from the boat!" ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't say anything, he kept looking at the situation on the warships in front of him.

Wei Jing, the commander of the guards next to him, said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, now the Song army has an advantage in the broadside battle because the other side has a fierce general who leads the team to rush and kill, and no one in our army can stop him, as long as he can block the momentum of this person's rush, the Song army's offensive will be contained, so that General Xu can calmly mobilize troops to surround the Song army!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "What do you think of this person's martial arts?" Who in our army can control it? ”

Wei Jing said: "The minister thinks that Chen Dayong, the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard, can fight with this person!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, pass on my will, let Chen Dayong take a hundred people to stop this person!" ”

"No!"

Chen Dayong, the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard Army, who got the will, immediately ordered a hundred people to kill in the direction of Fan Tong, the general of the Song Army's naval division.

As soon as the two came into contact, they knew that each other's martial arts were extraordinary, and it was not easy to win in a short period of time, and if one did not pay attention, they were afraid that they would die under the opponent's hands, so neither of them dared to keep their hands and fight with all their might.

Fan Tong has been fighting for so long, he has consumed a lot of strength, but Cheng Dayong is full of blood and strong physical strength, and the continuous attacks have made Fan Tong feel that he can't parry, but Fan Yong knows that he must not retreat, once there are signs of defeat, his command will soon be counterattacked by the cadres.

"Kill-" Fan Tong killed with ferocity, not afraid of injury, not afraid of death, and completely fought for his life with Cheng Dayong.

Xu Yibao saw that Cheng Dayong had blocked Fan Tong, and his heart settled down a little, at this time, the enemy army was only more than a hundred steps away from the flagship where he was, and it was really dangerous.

"Pass the order, order the left and right flanks to storm the general at all costs!"

With Xu Yibao's order, the warships of the Qianjun army attacked from the left and right flanks rammed the warships of the Song army and launched a fierce attack.

Crossbow arrows and arrows were constantly being fired at each other from both warships, and people were constantly being shot.

With a "boom", the side of a warship was pierced by thick crossbow arrows, countless sharp wooden debris flew wildly, a group of soldiers fell one after another, and several soldiers were shot into a string of sugar gourds by crossbow arrows.

Two soldiers standing on the edge of the deck of the building ship and firing arrows on the side of the ship were both hit by arrows and fell down, falling into the river and making two small splashes.

On several of the warships that were fighting, the soldiers of both sides fought bloodily and fought to the death, and there were countless arrows stuck in the wooden walls of the decks and buildings, and there were many holes pierced by thick crossbow arrows.

After nearly half an hour of fighting, the officers and men of the Song Army's naval division who were flanked from the left and right finally could not support it, the losses were too great, and many people had lost the courage to continue fighting.

The Song army's living space was getting smaller and smaller when it was flanked from the left and right, and the front could not break through the defense of the officers and men of the Cadre Army's naval division to the flagship of the Cadre Army, and its losses were getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Su, the deputy general under the command of the Song Army's naval division, immediately issued an order: "Pass the order for the water ghost team to dispatch!" ”

After the order was issued, a group of more than 100 sailors in black tights jumped into the river with hammers and files in their hands.

It didn't take long for many of the warships of the Cadre Army and Naval Division to begin to tilt, and at first the Cadres and Soldiers had not noticed anything abnormal, but when the warship tilted to a certain extent, they finally discovered that something was wrong, and the boatmen who were paddling and pedaling under the cabin soon discovered that the hull had been chiseled through under the water.

"Oh no, General, our warship was scuttled by Song sailors!"

"What?" When a captain of a dry military ship heard this, he was shocked and immediately asked: "How big is the area of the chiseled penetration?" Can the boatmen fix it? ”

"General, we found out too late, the bottom cabins are all flooded, and the carpenters can't get in at all, so they can't repair it!"

“······ Signal the flagship! ”

"Yes, General!"

One after another, the cadres and sailors on the pierced warships waved signal flags at the flagship.

Xu Yibao quickly got the report, and after listening to it, he frowned: "Is the general of the Song army running out of donkey skills?" Send the order down and order our fish-man team to go into the water to hunt the opponent's water ghosts! ”

The Song Army's Water Ghost Team is a special team specially trained to deal with enemy warships and carry out underwater operations to scuttle warships, so they have good water skills and are very proficient in scuttling ships, and they can easily find the weaknesses of enemy warships and carry out physical damage.

The Fishman Team of the Dry Army is a team specially trained by the Sailors of the Dry Army to deal with the water ghost team of the Song Army, each of the members of these Fishman Team members can hold their breath for more than two moments in the static state of the water, and they can hold their breath for more than one moment in the active state, these people are carefully selected in advance and then trained, they are extremely talented, and their ability to hold their breath is far beyond ordinary people.

They usually carry out underwater breath-holding, underwater swimming, underwater fighting, and vision training, and are proficient in fighting with short weapons and daggers underwater, and can skillfully use one-handed crossbows.

As the members of these fish-man teams jumped into the water with weapons and one-handed crossbows, it didn't take long for the water surface to keep popping red, and the situation of the warships of the Dry Army Navy Division leaking and tilting was also greatly reduced.

After fighting for an hour, Fan Tong, the general of the Song Army's naval division, and Cheng Dayong, the general of the cadre army, were both defeated in the process of fighting each other.

At this time, the officers and men of the Song Army's naval division could no longer hold on, their morale plummeted, and more and more people were killed.

Many officers and men of the Song Army's Naval Division jumped into the water in an attempt to escape by diving, but the torrents under the river were surging, and even the members of the Water Ghost Team and the Fishman Team who were so clever in the water did not dare to guarantee that nothing would happen to them, and only God knows how many of the officers and men of the Song Army's Naval Division who jumped into the river in order to escape survived.

Zhao Junsheng stood on the deck on the top floor of the building ship, and when he saw this scene, he knew that the overall situation had been decided, and he was relieved.

Under the command of Xu Yibao, the officers and men of the Cadre Army Naval Division increased their attacking intensity, killing and wounding a large number of officers and men of the Song Army's Naval Division, while completely destroying their will to resist.

"Pass the order, the Song soldiers who want to live must drop their weapons and kneel down and surrender, otherwise they will be killed!"

After noon in the afternoon, the water battle finally ended, Liu Su, the deputy general of the Song Army's Naval Division, surrendered, and the general Fan Tong was seriously wounded and captured, and more than 2,000 officers and men of the Song Army's Naval Division were captured, and countless people were killed and drowned in battle.

Soon after the end of the water battle, Xu Yibao immediately ordered the central and rear fleets to go to the north shore to pick up the 100,000 generals on the boat, and he led the front fleet to continue to attack the Song Army's water village in Wuhu, but at this time, the defenders of the Song Army's water village were already very little, and they surrendered after barely resisting for an hour.

On the morning of the next day, 100,000 cadres and soldiers who had already landed landed in Wuhu City launched a fierce attack.
