"Whoosh ·······" Suddenly, in a wave of arrows, there were eight bed-long crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows as thick as spears shot out, and one by one the Song soldiers who had just jumped off the boat were strung into sugar gourds, and the powerful impact force knocked them out and fell into the river.

The heart-rending screams and the impact on the visual nerves made the surrounding Song soldiers frightened one by one, and the momentum of the landing just now was also ruthlessly attacked, and they didn't dare to rush so fiercely again, and their momentum was also stunned.

It was impossible to build tall walls on the banks of the river, which was easy to land on, and many large and small forts were built on the banks of the river, which were connected by low stone ramparts and earthen dams.

Therefore, after a large number of Song troops landed ashore, and the cadres and their co-congregations carried out several rounds of blocking with a large number of arrows and crossbow arrows, causing a large number of casualties to the Song army and striking their momentum, under the command of the general of the cadre army, a large number of cadres and the co-congregation army rushed out from behind the stone rams and earthen dams to meet the Song army, and fought a fierce battle on this river beach.

The bow and arrow don't work, and it is easy to accidentally injure the Pao Ze brothers by indiscriminately placing arrows, at this time, they can only kill the enemy with sharp weapons in their hands, and the two sides of the Qian-Song Dynasty are fighting together, and the light is not bright, and it is normal to kill Pao Ze by mistake.

In this Jiangfang landing battle, from late at night to dawn, the Song army dispatched more than 1,000 people, and the cadre army dispatched 900 people.

In the early morning, the morning fog on the river gradually dissipated, and there was a dense layer of corpses on the river beach, countless arrows and sharp blades were inserted on the river beach and the corpse, and a Song army flag obliquely inserted on a corpse was shot by arrows with countless holes.

Neither the Cadres nor the Song Army expected that this landing battle would be fought so fiercely, and the general of the Cadre Army in charge of this riverbank defense line was the commander Wen Ding, who had 1,000 cadres and 2,000 auxiliary troops under his command.

Most of the 2,000 congenital troops were adapted from the private soldiers of the landlords and powerful people, and although these people were fierce, they had no organization and discipline, and there was no tactical coordination at all, and they only relied on individual martial arts to fight the war, and their overall combat effectiveness was not only too far from that of the cadre army, but also inferior to that of the Song army.

After the landing battle began, it took more than an hour to fight, and these co-subordinate troops adapted from the landlords' powerful private soldiers could not hold on, if it were not for Wen Ding to send his own cadres one by one to suppress the formation, I am afraid that they would be defeated by the Song army.

The battle lasted all night, and not only were all the 600 affiliated troops sent out killed in battle, but the cadres and troops were also completely wiped out and lost their establishment.

The commander of the Song army is Tan Jin, who is also a general from a poor background, who has followed Yanzhi and Tan Daoji several times in the Northern Expedition, and has been promoted to the position of general with his military exploits, which is rare in this era of paying attention to his background.

In order to prevent the fishing boats from being captured by the cadres, Tan Jin gave an order to the boatmen before giving the order to land, and once all the soldiers of the Song army who landed were sent to the riverbank, all these boats would return.

On the one hand, it is to keep the ships, and on the other hand, it is to cut off the retreat of more than 1,000 people, so that they can only charge at the risk of death, and if they do not occupy the river bank defense line, they can only die in the battle, which is also the largest force that can be invested at one time.

What Tan Jin didn't expect was that this battle was fought all night, and the more than 1,000 people he sent not only all died, but also failed to break through the defense line of the cadre army.

More than 1,000 people were buried in one night, and no one went back alive, this battle was extremely tragic no matter how you look at it, if there were such large casualties every day, even the tens of thousands of horses prepared by the Song army could not withstand the consumption for long.

This tragic beach-grabbing landing battle exceeded expectations both for the cadres and for the top level of the Song army, and the cadres and the Xicong army were like being knocked with a stick, while the Song army was hit on the head and bled out, and after the news reached Xiakou, even Xiao Bin was shocked that the defensive battle of the cadre army was fought so tenaciously.

After receiving the news report, Zhao Junsheng quickly rushed to the battlering riverbank defense line, and Liu Gon, who was in charge of the overall riverbank defense, was notified and quickly rushed over, just happened to meet Zhao Junsheng on the riverbank.

"Your Majesty, last night the Song army first carried out a sneak attack and feint attack on the riverbank fifteen miles downstream with a small number of troops, in a vain attempt to attract the attention of our army, but an hour later launched a fierce offensive on this riverbank, and invested more than 1,000 people in one trip, the maximum force that could be deployed!"

"What a move! Let's go to the river beach! After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he got off his horse and went to the riverbank fortifications.

Liu Gon immediately walked quickly to the front to lead the way.

When Zhao Junsheng and the others walked to the edge of the river beach, a large number of officers and men of the Auxiliary Army were cleaning up the river beach under the command of officers and colonels, and the corpses were being carried away, and the arrows, weapons, shields, and tattered flags on the river beach were being collected one by one, sorted and transported to the fortifications.

After a whole night, the river beach turned black and brown, all of which were stained red with blood and then discolored, and the rich bloody gas continued to blow with the river breeze.

Wen Ding, the commander of the cadre army in charge of the command of this river defense, quickly ran over to meet Zhao Junsheng, and at Zhao Junsheng's request, Wen Ding gave a detailed account of the process of resisting the Song army's beach landing last night.

After listening to this, Zhao Junsheng looked at this open river beach and asked, "Isn't there any good way to warn at night?" Can you only find it when the enemy ship is close to the shore? ”

Wen Ding hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, our army has no experience in this area before······"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Liu Gon again, and Liu Gon saluted: "Your Majesty, the last general is not from the naval army, and he really doesn't know much about this, and even the Song army does not have rich experience in riverbank defense, after all, whether it is the Northern Wei Dynasty or our dynasty, the war with the Song State has been carried out in the area of Heluo Qingzhou before, and there is almost no chance of landing and riverbank defensive battles, so ······"

Zhao Junsheng knew that what Liu Gon and Wen Ding said was the truth, and neither the Song army nor the cadre army had any corresponding combat experience in the beach landing battle and the riverbank defense battle, and all this could only be explored by themselves, and it was not realistic to formulate a complete set of defensive wording in a short period of time, and could only accumulate it little by little.

After thinking about it, Zhao Junsheng pointed to the river and asked, "Can you arrange some small boats on the river and light them up?" In this way, as long as the Song ships approached, the guard post would find it."

Wen Ding replied: "Your Majesty, we have thought of using this method to warn and have tried, but the wind on the river is strong, there are many winds, and there are few windless times, so it is almost impossible to light the lamp, and even if it is lit, it will be blown out quickly, even if it is covered with a lantern, the lampshade must not have a vent, especially at this time, there is almost no wind on the river."

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "Since there is no way to arrange light warning boats on the river, then collect dry firewood and light it on the shore every night; In addition, there is still a problem of defensive blind spots in the construction of defense facilities, find a way to solve this problem! Inevitably, build this river beach defense line into a triangle, the bottom edge is vacant, give them space to go ashore, once the Song army lands, not only will they be hit by arrows from the front, but also from both sides of the bow and arrow, no matter which side he is facing, there will always be one or both sides exposed to our army's bow and arrows! ”

Zhao Junsheng said as he drew a defensive map with a scabbard on the beach.

"Understood, Your Majesty's fortification plan is excellent! Wending, immediately after breakfast, organize the soldiers to rebuild according to the drawings drawn by His Majesty, and it must be completed before dark! ”

"No!"

Liu Gon also instructed the heralds beside him: "Go to Jiangxia City and give an order to the Jiangfang Defense Area fifteen miles downstream, and let them also organize people to immediately start the reconstruction and complete it as soon as possible!" ”

In the morning, just as Wen Ding was organizing the soldiers of the Minfu and the Xiecong Army to rebuild the fortifications, this situation was discovered by the observation ship deployed by the Song army on the river, and the observation post immediately returned to the other side to report the news to Tan Jin.

After Tan Jin consulted Xiao Bin, he quickly organized a fleet and troops to kill this upstream fortification again.

This time it was not a sneak attack, but a beach-grabbing landing.

The Song army fleet was still far away from the Qianjun river fortifications on the river, and began to fire large crossbow arrows at the cadres on the big ships, one by one the thick crossbow arrows whistled, the terrifying sound and lethality made the people who were rebuilding the fortifications flee in fear, and the soldiers of the cadres and the soldiers of the auxiliary army quickly took up their weapons and entered the battle position to prepare to meet the enemy.

Wen Ding, the commander of the cadre army, was furious, and he ordered the heavy weapons of the riverbank defense to carry out a powerful counterattack, and the bed crossbows on the pillboxes and stone ramparts began to exert their power, and first several waves of crossbow arrows were fired in succession, and the Song ships were greatly damaged.

Immediately afterwards, the trebuchet on the river fortifications projected out a huge stone bullet, the whistling stone bullets smashed in the water and made a huge splash, which frightened the soldiers on the Song army warship in horror, one by one squatted down to dodge, there were always so many stone bullets smashed on the Song army warship, for a time a huge sound came out, followed by a violent vibration so that the Song soldiers put on the Song army turned people on their backs, countless sawdust spikes splashed and caused many soldiers to be injured, and some unlucky ghosts were directly hit by the stone bullets, and died tragically on the spot.

The stone truck on the top of the river defense fortifications also began to get angry, and the clumps of broken stone and fragments smashed into the Song army warships on the river like raindrops, don't look at these broken stones and stones are much smaller than stone bullets, but the number is large, the density is high, because of the long projection distance and high, the lethality and killing area caused are much larger than stone bullets, this guy is like a shotgun, a dozen large pieces.

The Song army couldn't hold it anymore, and the generals on the big ships immediately shouted: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

After receiving the order, the boatmen immediately rowed back, and after several rounds of stone bullets and gravel blows, the Song army finally escaped the range of the dry army's trebuchets and stone trucks after suffering heavy casualties.

Tan Jin, the general of the Song army, immediately sent people to count the casualties, and found that there were not many dead people, but as many as 200 people were smashed and injured and lost their combat effectiveness.
