Chapter 37 37.Death Heavenly Fire, Fight to Fame
At five o'clock in the morning, near Zhang Hongfan's ship, a fire gradually burned bigger and bigger, and then ignited in turn, all the way to the south.
Although Lin Xi's hot air balloon is very large on the boat, it is nothing compared to the loach boat or even the car ship and the ship.
However, because Zhang Hongfan's convoy was attacked, and the released messenger rockets continued one after another, Li Heng's fleet was in a hurry first, and hurriedly sent a message to mobilize the fleet to besiege the Xuanyi, but because the Xuanyi died Tianhuo was so fierce that the sky was already slightly glowing, but Li Heng didn't know what was going on, this was really fatal, if the boss died, it would be a big incident.
Now all the ships that were chasing that mysterious ship, once they got close to the Xuanyi, without exception, were burned with sails and burned on the deck...... This is so shameless, that ship, no sails, no bed crossbows, but there is a mysterious flame, can fly directly and quickly over two miles, or even three miles of sea, that speed is too fast, so that there is no time to drop the sails, too late to change the rudder, too late to stop the oars......
At half past five, the damned ship was born...... A huge sphere rose up, with a hanging basket underneath, the floating sphere, and an umbilical cord, and that umbilical cord and things up and down.
Then, the orb rose 200 paces into the sky, which was a target only for the Condor Archer, and even if an arrow hit the orb, it would be useless.
In fact, this kind of sphere, just a few arrows, the destruction is very small, the speed of hot air leakage is not fast, just now after Lin Xi landed, after the balloon was simply overhauled, the former Han Lin Tang calmly and the former abbot Wang Zhong took over the command of the hot air balloon, this toy is too fresh, Wang Zhong took two little disciples, directly boarded the ball, and now they have begun to explore the tactics of the hot air balloon, there is no doubt that Lin Xi needed the first wave of attacks to find a way to kill Zhang Hongfan, so the first wave of weapons needed to be used, But now it's a different story, with a dedicated person unloading and weapons being teleported upwards on the deck, and this hot air balloon is a constant attack platform.
Qingxu real people are really not ambiguous, they have mastered the method of Lin Xi directly using the flamethrower to ignite and launch, that is, to pay attention to the tail flame not to spray into the hot air balloon, the current hot air balloon was not designed for this kind of use, so there is no special protective measures, but the second ascension to heaven...... Well, before that liftoff, they casually added a few more thin pieces of copper to the mouth of the air circle, no more than three feet high, and completely solved this hidden danger.
In fact, they also have a very random solution for the holes shot by the arrows, if the arrows are shot out, cut a rag and sew it, and then brush it with cooked tung oil, or a little tree paint, in fact, even if it is just paper, after refining the cooked tung oil, it will be as tough, soft and durable as the oil paper of the oil paper umbrella.
After the hot air balloon was raised, the three launchers quickly returned to their positions, still the front army was in the bow, the left army was on the port side, and the original right army was now changed to the rear army, because the starboard side was the shore troops of the pseudo-yuan, and the fleet of the pseudo-yuan general Li Heng was currently going to kill back from the port side and the tail, and the starboard side, for the time being, the pseudo-yuan had no strength, and the various ships below their cruise ships could only add credit to the fire yaksha, and the credit was in vain.
Xuan Yiwei, the oarsman, the general as a supervisor, the young general, and even the palace maid who was originally sent after that, now because of the sewing of hot air balloons, is classified in the combat sequence made by the young general, and participates in the battle, according to the former Han Lin Tang calmly said: "Take advantage of the current hand-picked beans, everyone is not happy, and make some contributions, it's too much of a loss." ”
This sentence was a sensation by Tu Xicai, Mi Sanmei, and Song Qing's shouting of the whole boat, the oarsman turned out to be unable to come up, Guo Yijiaotou and Jiang Chenyi, the commander of Qianshi County, summed up and found a statement, it is said that it is the composition of Xuan Yiwei, it turned out that the oarsman was counted, right?
Tu Xicai looked at the two old men squeezing their eyes, and the eyelids were about to blink into rattles, so he understood, and only said that "I did hear about it", Jiang Chen said, "So, let the oarsmen take turns to come up, let Xuan Yiwei and the general take turns to replace them, and strive to launch a group of three or four people every three or four people, and kill one, even if it is a shadowless boat."
Guo Yijiao pinched Jiang Chen's head, and whispered to Jiang Chen, "Old Jiang, what's that, the shadowless boat runs fast, and if the fire yaksha is not within a hundred steps, I'm afraid it will be easy to waste......"
Qianhan Lin Tang said calmly: "It doesn't matter what kind of ship, even a sampan can be used, you can find an easy one, the paddle hand is a group of four people, and every two groups follow other people's skilled shooters to learn first, anyway, there are sixty pairs of fire yaksha launchers, in the battle just now, the loss is not more than ten, then there are almost fifty pairs, one can accommodate more than two hundred people to learn, fire yaksha almost has six hundred, it, first." "Anyway, the first to find Mi Sanmei's group, the reason is very simple, only the girls' group, only the girls' group, only chirp slowly and carefully, those bastards, all show off their skills, refuse to teach well, but when the women's group looks for them to teach, they are much more honest.
At six o'clock in the morning, everyone can see the huge balloon on the Xuanyi, the color of the balloon is very weird, originally, the mother's reward, it can't all be the same, it has to be colorful, and the clothes of the boatmen and soldiers are much more dull, according to Lin Xi's original requirements, try to use labor cloth on the top - that is, the cloth of the soldiers and boatmen, and there is no way to use silk below, the result is that the hot air balloon will be a quarter of the place, are all beautiful and dazzling silk, The first rays of the sun smeared the balloons with a heavy glow.
What's even more terrifying is that the monster spits out from below - dragon breath, spraying sulfur and flames, close to hundreds of steps, far can be three or four miles, too terrible, even if it is a car and ship, under that kind of big dragon breath spray, without ten breaths, the sails and deck will be blown up by the dragon's breath, it is said that the largest car and ship is the most forty cars with eighty wing wheels, full of more than 800 soldiers of the car and ship, can escape, never more than a hundred people, this has to be said to be launched in advance, if you are hit, then want to escape, The suffocation and squeezing of the internal organs caused by the detonation alone is enough to make a person coma and seriously injured, and the oarsmen and miscellaneous soldiers in the bilge, even if they are not shocked to death, are often suffocated and cause a short-term coma, and by the time they wake up, the flames are often already around.
Death Dragon's Breath, Death Flame, Death Sky Fire – well deserved.
At eight o'clock in the morning,
Liu Chen's department on the southern line of the pseudo-yuan yuan was guarding the mouth of the sea south of Yamen, Liu Chen's own ship had been squeezing the Yashan defenders east of the middle line, but the Xuanyi went straight to Liu Chen's flagship, and three miles away, ten three-mile fires were cast in a row, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Chen's ship had been destroyed, Liu Chen saw the opportunity quickly, and fled to the open sea in the shadowless boat of his subordinates, he calculated that the Xuanyi had no sails and could not sail quickly over long distances. But Liu Chen left his men behind.
This move gave Xuan Yiwei the opportunity to kill, because Liu Chen's ship flag was not lowered, and the new flag was not raised, Liu Chen's department didn't know what to do at all, so it could only be the promotion or control of each ship, the general manager, the general general, the garrison, etc., each fighting for itself.
The Xuanyi has actually used up all the Erli fireworks and the Hundred Steps Burning Sky, leaving only twenty or thirty Sanli Fires and more than a hundred Fire Yakshas, and now in addition to the Fire Yaksha on the deck for melee defense, it all relies on hot air balloon projection combat power.
The deck of the Xuanyi had been re-established as a workshop, and the improvised Fire Yaksha was immediately teleported to the hot air balloon, which was now operated by three small men, one liberated and hoisted Fire Yasha, and two were finely aimed at attacking any warship that came within a mile.
After more than a dozen loach ships, shipwrights, and even iron-walled ploughshare ships were burned down, not a single Liu Chen's warship dared to cruise around the Xuanyi.
So the hot air balloon landed again, and was put away, now, along the way of the Xuanyi, there are no ships that dare to intercept, the Xuanyi finally sailed out of Haikou, to about 12 o'clock at noon, berthed at Hongguanya in the south of Yashan, Lin Xi ordered: "Stop the ship and berth, establish the Hongguanya position, establish the former enemy headquarters, immediately contact the Empress Dowager Yang, establish a base camp three miles back, establish at least two 30 zhang high watchtowers, immediately set up camp, bury pots and make rice." ”
At this moment, it is already the eighth day of the second lunar month, the fourth day that Lin Xi penetrated into the Yashan Naval Battle Otherworldly Plane, on this day, Zhang Hongfan, who was originally from the space-time plane, has died, and in these fierce three and a half days, the fate of many people has changed, and it will continue to change.
At this time, the war between the Song army and the Yuan army also underwent strange changes.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Shijie led his troops to break through, and heard the news of the general 40,000 soldiers who tried to flank the Yuan Dynasty landing force, but the Yuan Dynasty's more than 7,000 horse troops can already gallop in the mountains, although the mountains go south, but the infantry is more difficult to travel, the horse army is under the cover of 20,000 foot archers, by more than 10,000 Han troops as cannon fodder, undisguised, directly kill Zhang Hongfan's general flag, the Yuan army's fierce and fearless characteristics were brought into play, more than 10,000 Han troops along the mountain road, running forward, not running, not running, the horse team is behind, a little slack, It is a knife head, although the Han army is a surrendered soldier, but not all the clothes are changed, some people just put on a wool vest, or a hat, but their equipment is relatively more neat, because the Yuan army has occupied most of the original territory of the Song Dynasty, although the original Song soldiers officers have a lot of greed for ink, but the armament of the whole country, the weapons and armor searched in the treasury can not be counted, so the surrendered Han army is exceptionally well-equipped, they charge up in a neat team, and the Song soldiers are already the last combat power, Equipment and weapons are okay, but the night of fierce battles, just recovered, want to fight with the Yuan soldiers, do not have the upper hand, at the beginning, but also because of condescending, bows and arrows will have some advantages, but after dawn, the lethality of 20,000 Mongolian archers is not at all 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers can compete, and these archers will also run, almost only half an hour, more than 7,000 Song soldiers on the periphery were defeated, there are less than 3,000 guards and elites left, with the help of some simple deer firewood, firearms There are about 1,000 shells (grenades) of all kinds, More than 3,000 guards threw more than a dozen rounds, killing about 2,000 cavalrymen, more than 1,000 archers, and more than 2,000 Han soldiers.
More than 40,000 rushed over to prepare to break the siege and counter-surround the troops of the Yuan army, at this time because the Yuan soldiers suffered heavy losses, so the attack power began to prevail, but the big ships of the Yuan army also burned or controlled the big ships of the Song army's Guanchong Chongkou and the fjord at this moment, and the Yuan soldiers on the ship drew out two thousand people, carrying thirty bed crossbows, and began to continue to land, and at this moment, the trebuchet on the ship was able to throw light fire oil bombs to attack part of the Song soldiers' anti-encirclement forces.
The anti-encirclement forces now also have to fight on both sides, and for a time, they lost the pressure on the attacking troops of the Yuan army.
The time progressed to about ten o'clock, and the second wave of the Yuan army, led by 30,000 households, actually a total of 6,000 troops, continued to land.
At this moment, more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers who came from other parts of Yashan also joined the attack, and quickly became anxious.
Originally, if Zhang Hongfan was there, he should have ordered and ordered Liu Zili's troops, Kim Baekji's troops, Park Sun-sin's troops, Li Dongdong's troops, and Zheng Minjun's troops on the northern line to no longer defend the north Yashan Road, but to squeeze and burn the Song warships to the south, because the Song warships had no command at this time.
The Eastern Front cavalry Atahai Division, Dayan Khan Division, Cavalry Yila Division, Bow Infantry Cui Zhen Gao Division, Yin Shooting Division, Yin Xihong Division, Chaoshan Division, and Liu Guojie Division should be completely pressing on the current Zhang Shijie at this moment, especially ordering the Mongolian cavalry troops to squeeze Zhang Shijie's position, and attacking from east to west, Zhang Shijie is actually at the end of the road.
But who made Zhang Hongfan gone?
Now Li Heng, Turuk, and Zhang Qi are the three largest remaining troopers, but because all of Zhang Hongfan's important ships were burned, what happened to Zhang Hongfan, there is no definite news now, now Turuk has Master Weijie as the master, Zhang Qi has Meng Qi as the army, and the other troop leaders do not have a complete concept of war.
Li Heng is now blaming himself for the failure of encircling and suppressing the Xuanyi with all his might, but he is also responsible for transporting soldiers and supplies to the east bank, so he is in a struggle, and then he can only obey Zhang Qi's command, and Turuk is the banner of the Mongolian soldiers.
Now the commanders of the two major operational forces of the Han army and the Mongolian soldiers are all young people, and their attention is on Zhang Shijie, the supreme leader of the Song army, who has just broken through.
After a while, the two freshly baked little giants looked at each other on two cars and boats at the simple berth in the fjord, Meng Qi stood next to Zhang Qi, and Turuk stood beside Huerda...... Well, there is also a faint Master Weijie, who seems to be hiding behind half of his body.
First of all, Zhang Jue arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Turuk Badu, don't come unharmed!" ”
Turuk stroked his chest slightly, and also laughed dryly: "General Zhang Qi, you are late." ”
Zhang Qi said: "Turuk Wanhu is beautiful, the last to come, Zhang admired, I really want to ask for a lesson or two, so that I can have more skills and make more meritorious contributions to the Great Khan." ”
Turuk said: "General Zhang can directly pseudo-Song softness based on judgment alone, really good means, Turuk is a rough man, if it weren't for the Khan's secret guards desperately sending letters, the Han Weijie master given by the Great Khan would not know how many military exploits he would miss, so he should ask General Zhang for advice." ”
Meng Qi looked at the two young men with guns and sticks in their words, on the one hand, he was afraid that Zhang Qi was a young hero, he couldn't control his temper, and he would cause trouble later, on the other hand, although the war seemed to be progressing well, there were still many uncertain factors, so he immediately said: "Turuk Badu has high prestige, and he responds to every call, and the Great Khan acts step by step, and he is clever, and I am also blessed, General Zhang Qi is young and angry, and he is also inspired by my Meng Yuan to overcome obstacles and be invincible all the way, the two young heroes should be more close, and Meng Yuan will be in the future." , It seems that we and other soldiers and civilians have a lot of dependence, and I also ask the two major generals, is it now to discuss the following war...... There is no new military order from Marshal Du, so we should first complete the current war, what do the two generals think? ”
Master Wei Jie leaned out half of his body, and his language seemed to be very respectful: "Meng Langzhong, Wei Jie is so polite, dare to ask General Zhang what his motion is?" ”
Meng Qi heard the voice of Master Weijie, this is crooked, but this is the time when each is his master, greasy, it is better than fighting, okay, Meng Qi settled his mind and said: "Oh, it turned out to be Master Weijie......"
Master Weijie hurriedly stood up with both hands, both of them swayed, the angle of the swing was synchronized and the character was the same, Meng Qi's mind was pulled for a moment, and he shuddered suddenly, only then did he react, it turned out that Master Weijie just said: "Meng Langzhong doesn't dare!" ......”
Then I saw Master Weijie smiling, until his eyes brightened again, he continued to speak, knowing that he had found this Weijie's way, and his teeth were itching, but it was not good to attack, but he heard Master Weijie say: "Meng Langzhong, I came to respect the imperial court official, and the little Weijie is just a private slave, but I don't dare to call Meng Langzhong a master...... ~~~"
Wei Jie turned half sideways again, and then said: "This, Meng Langzhong, this second, although a certain is a private slave, but the war is not over yet, the war is chaotic, and it is changing rapidly, since Marshal Du has no new military orders, I think it is better to follow Marshal Du's orders." ”
When Meng Qi heard this, he knew that this master Weijie was taking the opportunity to fight for Turuk, which was according to the meaning of Zhang Hongfan's rocket message, that is, whoever can beat Zhang Shijie will take the lead, at that time, Zhang Qi's distance was much closer than Turuk, and now, Turuk took advantage of the opportunity of the melee to send hundreds of forwards ashore first, who knows what will happen, and now the situation can be seen that the Great Khan is waiting for Turuk to make great contributions, but this last battle determines the status of the Han people, and it cannot be argued. Anyway, the largest number of troops now were actually sent by Li Heng from the west bank, in fact, what the two sides have to fight for is nothing more than the first command, and the second, who can take Zhang Shijie's head.
Thinking of the head, Meng Qi suddenly had some strange thoughts rising - will Zhang Shijie still keep the head?
Just as he was thinking, Master Weijie waved his hands again, and when Meng Qi realized this, he realized that he had been tricked by Master Weijie again, so he immediately said: "Okay, since this is the case, I propose that the two generals each lead the army and horses, with the current position as the boundary, General Turuk will attack the North Road, and General Zhang Qi will attack the South Road, see who can break the pseudo-Song Dynasty the fastest, and capture Zhang Shijie alive?" ”
Master Weijie wanted to swing his hands again, and Meng Qi threatened: "Master Weijie, don't swing your hands anymore, if it weren't for the merits of the Great Khan, I wouldn't have rested with you." ”
Master Wei Jie snorted coldly: "Meng Langzhong, you don't want to attack the east and the west, General Turuk led 70,000 households, and successfully defeated more than six water villages in the puppet Song Dynasty, and General Zhang Jue only broke through two, we blocked the puppet Song warships on the northern line and opened the passage for General Li Heng, and the battle here has been a night and a half long, therefore, General Turuk commanded properly and led well, General Zhang Jue led the elite of the Chinese army to cross eastward, and General Li Heng escorted him, but he arrived later than us. ”
Huerda jumped out and said: "That's it, Master Weijie is right, if it weren't for me and other Mongolian elites to fight hard, how could there be such a result?" ”
Master Weijie said: "Huerda Qianhu said it well, as the saying goes, justice is in the hearts of the people. Do you know how Turuk sniped Lu Xiufu? How did Huerda Qianhu overcome ......"
Meng Qi sneered: "Sniper? Lectra? Where is Hideo Lu now? Where is the flag? Where are the pro-soldiers? There is no proof of death, and you take things that have no proof of death? ”
The two major generals saw that the people below were almost fighting, and there was nothing new to each other, so they basically had a draw, and they couldn't be too stiff at this time, Zhang Qi said: "Master Meng, harmony is precious, the war is fierce, and the people's hearts are impetuous. Exposing other people's privacy or attacking others' shortcomings mostly refers to conflicts of personal or factional interests). ”
Meng Qi immediately closed the tent: "Respect the order of the young general, General Turuk, Master Weijie, Meng is anxious, so he lost his words, please Haihan, a large number of adults, we should work together to exterminate the pseudo-Song Dynasty." ”
Turuk also said: "General Zhang Jue is reasonable, I think it is the right thing to go up the mountain to kill the enemy as soon as possible, and I have taken the first step." Come here, pass my orders, set up a springboard, raise my flag, follow me to seize Zhang Shijie's head, reward 10,000 gold, and seal thousands of households! ”
The Mongolian soldiers made a noise together, disembarked one after another, and did not line up in formation, led by their own hundred households, only holding bows and arrows and waist knives, and began to march rapidly.
Meng Qi's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot, and he whispered to Zhang Qi: "Young General, Turuk has made up his mind. I think it's true that they sniped Lu Xiufu, we have lost for a while now, but your father is still Marshal Du, and he is still the biggest contributor to the overall battle, but the major general can't be a bystander, I suggest that you erect the flag of the general, if it is convenient, erect the flag of the marshal of the capital, so that we can quickly gather more soldiers, our strength is not the bow and horse, but the strong crossbow and firearms, let's organize people to quickly bring the strong crossbow and firearms. ”
Zhang Qi said: "Turuk, in this battle, it must be me who captured Zhang Shijie, Master Meng, you will deal with the brigade, I will lead three hundred personal guards, and I will go up the mountain now." ”
Meng Qi hurriedly said: "Young general, that Turuk is arrogant, that Master Weijie is cunning and difficult to prevent, don't fall for their tricks!" ”
Zhang Jue said: "Turuk is just a reckless man, except for the eagle shooting, where can he be stronger than me, my ten thousand households are beaten, his ten thousand households are born, you just have to carry a strong bow and a hard crossbow, I let two hundred personal soldiers go up with a crossbow, and one hundred personal soldiers with a big shield, it must be completely safe." You just wait. ”
