In front of the red formation, which is constantly moving, any enemy ship approaches, there will inevitably be a warship in front of it, and once the two ships approach, the enemy ship will definitely be defeated.

The enemy ships dozens of feet away from the red formation, all looked at the black smoke rising in the distance, what was the end of that warship, they could fully imagine whether gold was important or life was important, this question immediately appeared in everyone's hearts.

There is no doubt that life is more important than gold, if you can't earn gold this time, you can earn it again next time, but there is only one life, if you lose it today, you will never come back to life tomorrow.

Soon, they made their choice.

Nearly 100 enemy ships outside the red formation retreated.

Thirty zhang ...... Forty zhang ...... Fifty zhang ...... Sixty zhang .......

The Jiangzhong defense line, guarded by the red formation, is safe.

But the red formation did not stop running, the front formation still went against the current, the rear formation went down the river, went straight for six miles, turned to make a U-turn, the six miles of the river, was guarded as solid as gold, and no enemy ship dared to approach.

Seventy or eighty feet away, the enemy ships did not move.

At this point, the enemy army crossing this section of the river declared the crossing of the river unsuccessful.

However, the fighting in other sections of the river was very fierce and tragic, and many warships collided with each other in order to block the oncoming enemy ships, and both sides were defeated, and some enemy ships were lucky enough to break through the interceptions again and again and approached the river bank.

Yang Congyi stood on the high place of the Zhenjiang ferry, and when he saw that the red array had completely blocked the enemy ship from the center of the river, he no longer continued to pay attention.

The formation that I painstakingly came up with is really useful when facing the enemy, but it is not impossible to crack, there is no dead hole, the enemy can't think of it now, it doesn't mean that they can't think of it after they go back, maybe this formation can only promote this time.

If you want to block the enemy's next attack, it seems that you have to quickly improve this formation, let Su Zhong and Pan Cheng and them hurry up training, otherwise let them stick to the Jiangzhong defense line, it will be difficult for the strongmen to put them in danger.

Yang Congyi looked at the warships in other river sections, and saw that the battlefields were chaotic everywhere, and the Great Song warships were entangled with the enemy ships, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

After watching it for a while, he returned to the camp and thought carefully about the methods of changing the tactics and formations of the red formation, so as to deal with the passive situation that he might face later.

After nearly an hour of entanglement in each section of the Zhenjiang River, those who were able to retreat retreated, and those who did not retreat almost all died with the Great Song Dynasty warships and sank to the bottom of the river.

In the evening, today's battle report was transmitted to all armies.

The battle report said that more than 300 enemy ships suddenly crossed the river and attacked, and after the heroic resistance of the Zhenjiang defenders, 13 enemy ships were destroyed, and finally more than 300 enemy ships were prevented from being outside the river bank, successfully defending the river defense, and smashing the enemy's attempt to cross the river!

This battle report from the Marshal's Mansion was delivered to all the armies in Zhenjiang that night.

Another victory, boosting the morale of the armies.

However, according to Yang Congyi's own eyes, there were still enemy ships approaching the river bank, but they could not land and had to retreat, so this battle report that was transmitted to the whole army was only a report of good news and not bad news, and it was not a reaction to the real battle situation.

Just when the defenders of Zhenjiang were trumpeting the victory of this battle, Guazhoudu on the opposite side was also rewarding the soldiers who participated in crossing the river today, using real money.

When Yan Yuanyi personally reported the results of the river crossing to Wan Yan Liang, Wan Yan Liang was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the guards to carry out the gold as an additional reward, and also took out a box of silver.

Because Wanyan Yuanyi told him that there were a total of 250 ships crossing the river this time, and six were lost, and the rest of the ships fought with the Song army warships in the river for several hours, without much damage, and they could fight again tomorrow. In this attempt to cross the river in a dispersed manner, 67 ships successfully broke through the interception of the Song army and arrived on the opposite bank, except for one that ran aground, the other 66 ships all returned to the ferry port and destroyed 12 ships of the other side, which shows that the method of dispersing the river proposed by the emperor is effective and feasible.

Then Wan Yan Yuanyi boasted about the method of dispersing and crossing the river proposed by Wan Yan Liang, and Wan Yan Liang was very happy to hear it, and did not hesitate to reward the warriors who successfully crossed the river with gold and silver to the soldiers who returned safely.

After the reward was completed, Wan Yanliang waved his big hand, and immediately ordered that 300 boats be dispatched tomorrow to continue to disperse across the river and train with battle!

Wanyan Yuanyi happily accepted the order and left the camp of Guishan Temple with the gold and silver rewarded.

Through today's battle of crossing the river, Wanyan Yuanyi also has a lot of confidence in the idea of crossing the river in a scattered way, if he had crossed the river like this earlier, he would not have been defeated so badly in Hezhou, and even crossed the Yangtze River long ago and fought to Lin'an.

Wanyan Yuanyi returned to the barracks, put away ninety percent of the gold, and exchanged the rest into copper coins, which were distributed to the soldiers of each ship as a reward as promised.

Although the goal of crossing the river was achieved, many problems were still exposed, and according to the feedback of some generals who crossed the river, he began to plan how to cross the river tomorrow.

After thinking about it for a long time, we came to the conclusion that the method of crossing the river in a dispersed manner should be appropriately improved.

When the river crossing is launched, the fleet is divided into hundreds of squads in the entire river section, and when crossing the river, the losses of the Song army's missile attacks can be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the unified command within the squad can use the elite wolf pack tactics to surround and kill the lone Song army's ships, so that tomorrow's crossing of the river will definitely achieve unimaginable results!

In the early morning of the next day, Wan Yan Yuanyi summoned the generals early, rearranged the revised tactics of crossing the river, and ordered that the ships that were going to cross the river must be divided within two hours, and the formation should be rehearsed, and the crossing of the river should start on time at noon.

In Zhenjiang, after yesterday's dogfight, unlike the infantry, the morale of the various naval forces was a little low, because they themselves did not feel that they had won the battle yesterday, and the reasons for this were that they did not achieve the desired results, and second, the enemy ships docked, although only one or two feet away from the shore, the enemy ships retreated by themselves, but the enemy broke through their defense line in the Yangtze River.

As for yesterday's battle, it was only tense at the beginning, and it didn't take long for it to be like normal training, and there was no difficulty, because in the end all the enemy ships retreated, and they did not achieve greater results, and they were not very happy.

In the early morning, before entering the river for training, Yang Congyi found a group of generals and told them some of the methods and methods of changing formations that could be operated in the Red Formation, and asked them to start training immediately to cope with the possible adjustment and change of the enemy's tactics for crossing the river.

Shortly after the Jingwu Army, the Yangwu Army, and the Xieshui Army entered the river for training, an order from the Shuaifu was sent to the Jingwu military camp, telling Yang Congyi to enter the city immediately.

After receiving the order, Yang Congyi did not feel strange and immediately set off into the city.

Yesterday, Yu Yunwen said that the Jianghuai consolation envoy from the camp will arrive in Zhenjiang today, and at this time, the order should be that the consolation envoy has arrived, and the summons summons the commanders of the various armies in Zhenjiang.

After entering the Shuai's Mansion, Yang Congyi was taken into a small hall by the guards, the hall was empty, he was about to ask questions, but the guards asked him to wait with peace of mind.

When he was young, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Yang Congyi turned his head to look, but saw three people at the door, one Yu Yunwen, and the other two were not strangers.

Yang Congyi was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and bowed in his mouth and said: "The last general, Yang Congyi, has seen His Royal Highness the King of the County!" I've seen Yang Guogong! ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard Yu Yunwen correct: "General Yang is wrong, this is His Royal Highness King Jian, this is the King of Tong'an County!" ”

As soon as Yang Congyi heard this, he hurriedly saluted again: "The last general has seen His Royal Highness King Jian, and he has seen King Yang Jun!" The last general will not be in Lin'an for a long time, lonely and unheard, and hope to atone for his sins! ”

"The general should keep an eye on the battlefield, and the rest of the matter is just to ask the best, what is the crime."

The person who came was Yang Cunzhong and the prince Zhao Wei, and Zhao Wei was Zhao Ming, the king of Pu'an County before he was elected as the prince and changed his name.

"Thank you, King Jun!" Yang Cong finished his salute and was upright.

Zhao Wei, Yang Cunzhong, and Yu Yunwen sat down in the hall one after another, and Yang Congyi stood alone in the hall.

"Yang Congyi, I heard that the three big victories of Saponarin, Taipingdu, and Guazhoudu were all personally participated in and promoted by you?" After sitting down, Yang Cunzhong asked.

"The last general will not dare to take credit! The battle of the Saponaria Forest was actually planned by Liu Dashuai in advance, and the last general just happened to be at the meeting and participated in it. As for the aid of Jiankang and Taiping, it was indeed the attention of the last general, when he was evacuating from the camp of Guazhou, he heard that the enemy army was gathering 500,000 troops in Hezhou, and thought that Jiankang was more dangerous, so he asked for orders to lead the troops to support, not wanting to just catch up with the enemy army crossing the river in Taiping, and after repelling the enemy army crossing the river, the strength of the entire Taiping Prefecture defenders was not enough to resist the enemy's attack, so the last general discussed with Lord Yu and used a plan to destroy all the enemy ships in the river, so that the enemy army lost the ability to cross the river. As for the Guazhou crossing, it was the last general who saw the danger of the situation in Zhenjiang and made a temporary move, wanting to give the enemy a dismount and dispel their idea of crossing the river casually, and also wanted to boost the morale of the defenders of Zhenjiang through a victory, so that they could defend Zhenjiang without losing it. Yang Congyi explained simply, showing his intentions, but he did not deliberately brag about himself.

Yang Cunzhong said with a smile: "Yang Congyi, I haven't seen you for ten years, you are still so modest and cautious." Very good, it seems that I didn't think I was wrong about you at the beginning. ”

"Thank you for cultivating the king!" Yang Congyi raised his hand and thanked him.

"The enemy army Chen Bingguazhou, the situation in Zhenjiang is about the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, and Liu Dashuai is bedridden, and the imperial court ordered me to go north to preside over the defense of Zhenjiang Mansion. I have called you here today, firstly, I have not seen you for many years, and I specially asked you to come to see you, and secondly, I have given you heavier responsibilities. Yang Congyi listens to orders! Yang Cunzhong had no intention of reminiscing about the old days and went straight to business.

"The last general!" Yang Congyi raised his hand and stood by.

"From now on, let you be the commander of the former army of Zhenjiang, command 20,000 people of all units of the front army, and stick to the first line of defense in Zhenjiang!"

"The last general received the order and swore to defend the Zhenjiang defense line without losing!"

"The armies you led before are under the command of the former army of Zhenjiang, and they are still under your command."

"Yes!"

After Yang Cunzhong finished speaking, Zhao Wei continued: "This king was appointed as the Jianghuai patrol envoy to express his condolences to the soldiers who are sticking to the front line of Zhenjiang, especially the soldiers who dare to fight and can fight!" ”
