Chapter 35 35

In the night, the fight between the two armies is continuing, and now the two armies are almost unable to get out, on the whole, the warships led by Zhang Shijie of the Song Dynasty, due to the chain together, when the Yuan army attacks, there is a better development surface, bed crossbow, eight bull crossbows and various trebuchets throw shells, stability and accuracy are higher, but also because it is a defensive war, supply delivery is also more real-time and convenient, as long as the arson ship of the Yuan army did not burn the Song army's water village, then under the attack, the Song army actually has the upper hand.

At the same time, due to the arrival of Lin Xi and the installation and transportation of the boiled sea god cauldron, the Song army's original almost entire water village has become more than 60 relatively independent water villages, so in terms of command, the transmission of information has become less one-size-fits-all, and the rulers of each water village need to exert greater autonomy and facilitate greater autonomy.

If you look at the specific situation of the battle between the two armies, due to the depth and escape of the Yuan army's spies, the Yuan army has set the general policy of pincerizing the flagship of the Song army Zhang Hongfan, so it has led to about two or three hundred large and small ships, mixed together and fighting, as the saying goes, there are three layers inside and three layers outside, you have me, I have you, it is the portrayal of this moment, the so-called two armies meet the brave wins, and now it becomes, whoever can't withstand it first, who will lose completely.

Zhang Hongfan found this situation, decisively ordered the change of the water village, wanted to get closer, and he moved to a half-fjord in Yashan, there are several shore defense batteries in the strange stone rock fjord, because the terrain is higher, so the range advantage is still obvious, although the accuracy of the shore defense artillery is very poor, but fortunately, there is some understanding of the fixed water area in advance, so the preparation of shells and aiming, than the guns on the ship is much faster and more accurate.

On the other hand, when the continuous water village was broken one after another, the situation became very chaotic, the Yuan army under the strong attack, although the losses were very large, but the jump gang finally found a breakthrough in several water villages, once the jump gang succeeded, the advantage of the Yuan army's crossbowmen was immediately magnified, they continued to attack from the gap, Sima Command resolutely withstood the pressure, and gradually formed a strong division position, It turned out that the Central Military Department was crushed by Zhang Qi's department because of the actual emptiness.

Turuk and several Mongolian Wanhu, basically along the south downstream, in the south side of the Sima rule three to six miles of the position, began to break into the Song army defense line, more than 80 large ships led more than 200 small boats, squeezed open a frontal gap of one and a half miles wide, and then, left more than 60 large ships to snipe on both sides of the Song army, more than 20 large ships quickly interspersed to search for the center of the Song army.

By six o'clock in the afternoon, it was almost dark, and at this time, both armies had to raise all kinds of lantern signals, as well as navigation lights, to at least distinguish the camps.

Due to the cross-distribution of ships of the two armies, it has been difficult for the shore defense artillery to carry out effective aiming, so the advantage of the shore defense artillery declined, the Yuan army five centurians landed on the shore, and at about seven o'clock, captured a fort, and then, a centenarian Yuan army snatched the fort, stationed here, immediately rotated the direction of the artillery, and fired the cannon towards the other seven batteries, and when it was put into the third round, the fort was destroyed, and the centennial team only had more than ten people, but two forts had been destroyed, and two more forts were captured by the other four centenarians of the Yuan army, Then two batteries attacked the remaining two at the same time, and finally the Yuan army had one remaining battery, and there were less than three hundred Yuan troops, the three hundred Yuan army divided one hundred sergeants to operate the cannons, and the remaining two hundred were deployed on the spot, and there were still two usable trebuchets on the battery, two copper fire guns, and a large bed crossbow, and the Yuan army immediately threw the remaining combat power to the Song army, especially the use of trebuchets to throw light oil bombs, the distance reached more than 370 steps, forcing the Song army flagship to either leave the fjord or land.

Zhang Shijie advocated landing on the shore, Lu Xiufu advocated living and dying with the soldiers, during the dispute, he was hit by two fire oil bombs, the front sail was burned, Zhang Shijie ordered to go to Yashan Land to organize the second command, Lu Xiufu left Zhang Shijie's flagship, and then erected the flag.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the battalion on the west bank of the Yuan army received a message, and the army of Li Heng's original department, after receiving the message, quickly crossed the middle line and pressed towards the defense line that had been broken by the Song army, preparing 20,000 archers, more than 7,000 horses, and more than 10,000 Han troops.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Xiufu's ship was burned, Turuk rushed the ship with three iron armor, and took the lead in forcing Lu Xiufu's two vehicles and ships, a stern, and a loach ship in front of Lu Xiufu to break the armor one by one, and then used the earth-shattering thunder to break through the waterline ship, Turuk led his own vehicles and ships, using six trebuchets, all using fire oil bombs, burning the deck of Lu Xiufu's ship, and then easily jumped to the gang, Lu Xiufu held a torch, as if to ignite something on the platform, and was shot in the stomach by Turuk with an arrow, nailed to the bulkhead, Lu Xiufu drew his sword again, was about to commit suicide, and was shot in the right arm by Turuk with an arrow, Lu Xiufu raised the big sleeve of his left arm, and there was a special poison for ministers in the sleeve, intending to bite the poison and kill himself, but it was too late, and he was sneaked by Huerda and cut off the muscles of his left arm with a dagger, Lu Xiufu shouted: "I have the intention to kill the enemy, but I can't go back to the sky!" Wu'er, burn the cannon! ”

At this moment, a thin figure ran back from the boat gang, picked up the torch, lit a fire rope, Hurda was furious, drew a knife to cut the fire rope, was slammed down by the thin figure, Hurda pulled out the dagger, stabbed the thin figure in the neck, and then used his feet to kick the little man out, but the little man hugged Hurda's legs, Hurda did not kick away several times, so he used the dagger to cut the neck of the little man again, cut four or five times, and finally got the little man away, got up and looked again, The fire of the ignition rope had burned through the deck, hollow, and burned downward. Without hesitation, Huerda immediately ran towards Turuk's flagship, and just jumped onto Turuk's ship, before he could stand firmly, Lu Xiufu's ship suddenly exploded from the inside, and the broken ship's board, fire oil and all kinds of sundries swept in suddenly, and Huerda was slammed on the deck and rolled over a dozen times.

Looking up again, Lu Hideo's ship had begun to sink, almost breaking in two, and several escape boats that had already been on the sampan were also swept over by the waves.

Hurda got up hatefully and walked towards Turuk: "Brother-in-law, it's just a little bit, just ...... that old immortal thing"

Turuk said: "Kulda, no, no, no, you are very good, today, you are a real Mongolian thousand households. That guy was already determined to die. We are Mongols, we want victory and spoils of war, one or two heads less, it doesn't matter. Now, continuing the pursuit, there is still a big official. ”

At ten o'clock in the night, Zhang Shijie's ship was set on fire, but Zhang Shijie had already led more than 10,000 troops to land.

At more than eleven o'clock in the night, the fort seized by the Yuan army was recaptured by the Song army, and the Yuan army's death squad was left with less than a hundred people, and continued to retreat into the mountains.

At one o'clock in the night, more than 40,000 Yuan soldiers arrived at Yashan one after another and began to encircle and suppress Zhang Shijie's headquarters in Yashan.

At more than three o'clock in the night, the Song army withdrew more than 10,000 troops on the shore and more than 30,000 people from other places on the mountain, and re-encircled more than 40,000 people of the Yuan army.

The original landing site of the Yuan army, the artillery fire of the two armies could be attacked, so it was destroyed a lot, under the light of the fire, a bright, two warships did not dare to approach, forming a stalemate, and the Yuan army's landing transportation channel was also temporarily interrupted.

At this time, there were almost no big ships on the west bank of the Yuan army, and the entire battle line was compressed on the side of Yashan, and several ships around Lin Xi's original ship were also about to burn to the end, some places were soaked with seawater, and a lot of debris was left from the boat, and a fog and smoke rose on the sea.

Excitedly, he ran over to Lin Xi and said, "Master, Master, the time has come." ”

Lin Xi turned over and sat up, put on his clothes, walked out of the hatch, and asked, "Have the brothers all rested?" ”

Tu Xicai said: "The Venerable Master has taken turns to rest for two hours, and today is really tiring, but now, everyone is in good spirits. ”

Lin Xi said: "Very good, tip, look at the direction of the wind." ”

He said, "Venerable Master, it is winter, and the wind direction should basically be northwest, but the change in wind direction on the seaside is much more complicated. If we put it 200 paces away, we still need to go slightly outside the middle of the two loach boats. ”

Hu Buqi, the former deputy commander of the navy, said: "There is still a certain risk in this. Do you need to do some feints? ”

Lin Xi asked, "If we raise the balloon, will they see it?" ”

Song Aoxing commanded: "Venerable Master, we are just spreading the balloon now, it is four or five zhang long, and the width cannot be fully expanded, I think that even if we do this in the dark, as long as we get close, the size of the balloon is so large, it will still be discovered, and it is difficult to be lucky." ”

Lin Xi said: "Yes, our move, the essentials are fast, and we want to deter them, once Zhang Hongfan's flagship is ignited, it must have a deterrent effect, otherwise it will be difficult for us to consider escaping on a single ship." ”

Wang Zhong, the former abbot of the Taoist Temple, said: "Venerable Master, Poor Dao is willing to lead a faction to attack Zhang Hongfan on the ship, so as to attract the attention of the pseudo-yuan and let the Venerable Master lead a hot air balloon to attack the enemy. ”

Lin Xi asked: "Can Wang Zhenren have a road number?" ”

Wang Zhong, the former abbot of the Taoist Temple, said: "Thank you for your inquiry, and the poor are clear." ”

Lin Xi said: "How sure are the pure and real people? ”

Wang Zhong, the former abbot of the Taoist temple, said: "There are about five or six big ships around Zhang Hongfan's boat, and there are some patrol fast boats, the warning distance is about from one hundred steps to three hundred steps, if I lead ten disciples in this seat, take a shadowless boat, holding flying claws, sharp swords, and earth-shaking thunder, it is estimated that there is no sound to break into Zhang Hongfan's ship, the problem is not big, and the upper deck is not a big problem, but because the oil can't bring much, it is difficult to set fire, they have now fallen sail, we do our best, about can burn one of the foresail, middle sail or tail sail, The front sail is narrow, so they are not easy to attack, but they can be shot with a bow and arrow. If we go in, in the middle of the ship, they can't use the bed crossbow, but the personnel can kill us. The tail sail is where the shipbuilding is located, and it is heavily guarded, and getting on the ship is a problem. ”

The young general Song Qing said: "Qingxu Zhenren, your set, now in our sacred Chinese country, is already the old yellow calendar, since you can use the shadowless boat to penetrate the pseudo-Yuan ship formation, then there is no need to climb the ship's tower at all, we have a fire yaksha or a hundred steps to burn the sky." The fire yaksha is used to attack the car and ship, the tickle is almost the same, but if you are within twenty or thirty steps, two or three breaths of effort, you can launch to the sail, we send three elite launchers, a shadowless boat can hold up to twelve people, six fire yakshas, three to attack the sails of Zhang Hongfan's ship, three to open the way when escaping, what do you think? ”

Wang Zhong, the former abbot of the Taoist Temple, was so smart and clever that he could see the changes at once, and said with great joy: "This is very good, our casualties can be reduced, but the three launchers are going to take risks." ”

Song Qing, the young general's commander, said: "Why don't you regret to be here, I will bring my two best brothers with me." ”

Lin Xi said calmly to the former Han Lin Tang: "From now on, you must record the battles and exploits one by one, so that future generations can remember that at this moment, our sacred Chinese country has risen from danger, and it is precisely because of these heroes who have come out in large numbers to protect the family and defend the country that our descendants can develop calmly." ”

Tang calmly stood up and saluted, and said solemnly: "I will obey the Venerable Master's decree." ”

Lin Xi said: "Very good, do you have any good ideas?" Guo Yijiao's head? ”

Guo Yijiao thought for a while and said: "Back to the Venerable's words, I can see clearly that the combination of Xuzhen and Song Commander is already very wonderful, and from the perspective of water warfare, it may be mainly a matter of coordination and retreat.

Cooperate with the problem, we ourselves don't count, to see where the Xuzhen intends to attack from, we are here because of the influence of the line of sight, what is the situation in the south of Zhang Hongfan's ship, I can't see clearly, it is estimated that it is close to the defense force in the north, I estimate that Qingxu Zhenren is also planning to attack Zhang Hongfan from the north to the south but slightly close to the stern, the distance is best outside the range of ordinary bows and crossbows, when diving, it is best to be silent, so as to leave a safe and still space for the launch of Fire Yasha, However, the shadowless boat is very affected by the waves, and one fire yaksha may not be able to do all the work, so I personally prefer to launch six fire yaksha at once, and then abandon the launch frame and break through with all my might. ”

The young general was the commander of Song Qing and obviously wanted to speak, but Guo Yijiao stopped him and continued: "When you break through, go around from the stern to the south, so that their boat on the port side will not be able to see you, and the ship on the starboard side will need a certain amount of time from discovery to attack, you bypass the stern, turn to the starboard side, and keep fleeing to the south, so that they will think that you are a sneak attack water ghost, and the sneak attack will not be a strong attack and retreat, and the southward intention is to get out of the pseudo-yuan control contact, which has another advantage, That is, if you can see the situation on the sea clearly, and escape three or four miles away, you will be relatively calm when you come back. ”

Jiang Chen, the former county commander, listened carefully and said:

"If the Venerable Master attacks, the balloon will be so large that it should be easy for you to see from the outside, and if you scatter it, you may even be called a surprise soldier.

In addition, we must have our own water ghost team, or water ghost cleaning team, the current shadowless boat pulppers, the body is difficult to support, we can distribute the remaining four ships in the front and back of the ship, and do not conflict with the pulp hands of our big ship.

Also, what is the Venerable Master's plan for retreating? I thought about it again and again, but there was no good solution. ”

Lin Xi said: "To be honest, I still feel that although we are close to the sea, but a few miles away, we may not be able to contribute. ”

Guo Yijiao said: "The Venerable Master does not need to worry too much, I estimate that once such a behemoth rises into the air, it will suddenly explode Zhang Hongfan's ship, it will inevitably surprise the Quartet, this point is that the explosion is best extremely violent, at that time, the surrounding ships they must first rescue, not in a hurry to fight with us, you don't know the pseudo-yuan, if Zhang Hongfan's ship is attacked, of course they will do their best to supply us, but if Zhang Hongfan sees that there is no rescue power, they must go to the rescue first." So we must leave calmly. ”

Lin Xi asked, "Then what about the direction of departure?" ”

Qianhan Lin Tang said calmly: "I suggest leaving south first, and then depending on the situation, approach the exit to Yashan South China Sea." Reason, we leave by ourselves to ensure safety first, and when we return to the Song army, we have other opportunities. ”

Lin Xi asked, "How long will it take for us to inflate?" ”

Song Qing said: "It takes about a quarter of an hour to two quarters of an hour to inflate with a boiler, and we don't know about the follow-up. ”

Lin Xi said: "Then prepare to attack in four quarters of an hour." I'll get into the hot air balloon, and you will send another clever one to follow me. Pure and void real people, you have time there, you can grasp it yourself. Let's fight for fame today. ”

The crowd trembled with enthusiasm and said in unison, "I am willing to advance and retreat with the Venerable Master and create immortal achievements together." ”
