Chapter 10: The First Battle of the Yangshan Navy (2)

In just a short period of time, the fleet of the Song Army's naval division had already been thrown into chaos.

In order to avoid the thunderbolts, the warlords rowed desperately, and as a result, many ships collided together, and I don't know how many of them overturned each other.

The dead and the wounded fell into the sea, and the blood stained the blue water.

The sea area for several miles suddenly became a sea of blood.

If it weren't for the fact that Patrol Li's ship was at the forefront, and there were dozens of soldiers around him with shields to maintain it, I am afraid that Patrol Li would not have been able to escape the difficulty.

Seeing that his fleet was in crisis, Inspector Li was indignant.

The enemy didn't even touch the skin, and he was hit hard.

After a lifetime of fighting, I have never seen such a wretched person, and I have not yet approached the enemy army, and the losses are so heavy, it is really hateful!

The enemy has such a sharp weapon that the long-range battle is not their opponent at all.

I have more than 3,000 men under my command, and it is absolutely impossible for them to hold a thousand people in ten ships.

It seems that the only way to win is to get close to them and engage them in a shipside battle, relying on the number of men.

Inspector Li hurriedly shouted, "You must get close to them to have a chance to win, order the fleet to divide into two teams, copy over, get close to the battleships at all costs, build enemy ships with hooks, jump on them and kill them all!" ”

The sea was so wide, and the distance between the two ships was not short, it was impossible to convey orders with shouts. Battles on the water rely on war drums, gongs, flags and lanterns to convey orders.

Wen Gu advances, Wen Jin retreats. Look at the flags during the day and the lanterns at night!

As Inspector Lee's order was issued, his flagship hurriedly released the news with drums and flags.

Those who had not yet mixed into the chaos saw the order, and the Song Army's sailors immediately divided into two teams and killed the Liangshan Navy.

Seeing that the Song Army's sailors were still not giving up, Zhang Shun sneered and shouted: "Pass the order, transfer the ship to wander around the periphery, and strike at the opponent!" ”

Ten battleships heard the order and immediately made a large V-turn.

While turning the direction, Zhang Shun did not forget to shout: "Keep beating me hard!" ”

Following Zhang Shun's order, fifty catapults on ten battleships continued to throw thunderbolts non-stop, inflicting damage on the Song army's naval divisions.

Although the battleships have completely turned around, these warships are converted from merchant ships after all. Coupled with the slender ship shape of the swordfish warplane, and the effect of the sails and oars, the speed of the swordfish warlord is a little faster than that of the battleship. The swordfish battle slowly approached the battleship of the Yangsan Navy.

From a distance, it looked like the Liangshan battleship was very small, but when it really got closer, the Song Army Navy Division realized how huge the battleship transformed from a sea ship was, and the Song Army Navy Division's slender swordfish battle was not of the same level as it at all.

Seeing that the Song Junshui Division was approaching, Zhang Shun sneered. "Artillery ready, hit me!"

The bronze cannon weighed two or three thousand pounds, which was very cumbersome, and could only be transported slowly by horse-drawn carriages.

But on the Shandong Peninsula, the Liangshan army basically had to fight against the Xiang soldiers, and even if they encountered hard stubble, it would not take them a day or two to conquer the city.

By the time the bronze cannons arrived, the city had been breached.

So far, the bronze artillery has not had a chance to perform, and Shi Jinkan is wasting resources by continuing to bring the bronze artillery around, so he set aside five bronze cannons to be placed in Juye City in Jeju to guard against the imperial army.

The remaining five bronze guns were assigned to the Yangsan naval flagship, where they were tested for effect and tactics were studied.

The letter flame of the artillery on Zhang Shun's flagship was ignited, and in an instant, the muzzles of the five guns rumbled, and thick smoke came out.

Inspector Li's warship was at the forefront, and this ship became the key target of the Liangshan navy.

A solid iron bullet with a whistling sound focused on the warship inspected by Lee, and one of the shells shot directly through the ship, and the sea water poured into the cabin through the crack.

The battleship was pierced by a cannonball, and the violent tremor lifted Inspector Li's whole body, and he flipped over, his head hit the armor of the ship, and blood flowed.

When Inspector Li covered his head and stood up with his hands on the side of the ship, he only heard a sailor at the bottom of the boat screaming and shouting: "Oh no, it's in the water!" ”

When Inspector Li heard this, he shouted, "Why don't you hurry up and plug the hole with something!" ”

Only a moment later, seven or eight sailors poured out from the bottom of the boat. "My lord, the water is surging so fast and beating that I can't stop it. Run! ”

As he spoke, the sailors threw themselves into the sea and swam desperately to the other warriors.

Hearing the report of his subordinates, he felt the gradually sinking battle, and Inspector Li shouted in pain: "No, my warship ......"

When Inspector Li was still about to wail, his own soldiers had already pulled him up and jumped into the sea. "My lord, it's too late to run. Run! ”

Inspector Li was dragged into the sea, and then dragged by several personal soldiers to swim to the latest battle bridge.

As soon as Inspector Li was pulled onto the ship, his original battle ship was split in half and sunk into the sea at an angle. The whirlpool created by the sinking of the battle tree into the sea also swept seven or eight sailors nearby.

The guns on modern warships are held by all kinds of advanced equipment, and the hit rate is very low.

What's more, in this era, it is possible to fire hundreds of shells without hitting a single hit.

It is not uncommon for a ship to even hit a dozen shells and still be able to move normally.

The Liangshan Navy fired more than a dozen shells, and one shell hit the warship inspected by Li, which was already a remarkable hit rate.

Everything else was missed, the cannon roared, and huge columns of water rose on the sea.

Seeing that these two rounds of shelling had destroyed a battleship, Zhang Shun shouted loudly, "Keep fighting hard for me!" ”

As soon as the battleship approached, five guns and ten catapults greeted and waited.

Even if the hit rate is less than one percent, the Song army's battle is constantly destroyed.

Li Patrol came back to life, but the flagship of the Song army was sunk, and those heralds didn't know whether they were dead or alive for a while, and the handsome banners and banners were gone.

For a time, the Song Army's naval division lost its command system, and under the fierce shelling of the Liangshan Navy, the Song Army's naval division continued to suffer damage.

The warlords were destroyed one by one, and the sailors on board sank into the sea one by one, and hundreds of Song sailors were already floating on the sea.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and seeing that more than a dozen of his own swordfish were sunk, Inspector Li knew that he could not defeat the Liang Shanshui Division at sea.

He could only shout in pain, "Retreat, Mingjin retreat, all retreat to the camp!" ”

Hearing the sound of retreat, the sailors of the Song Army, who had already lost their fears, hurriedly turned the bow of the ship and sailed vigorously to the shore.

Seeing that the enemy had retreated, Zhang Shun hurriedly shouted: "Pursuit!" Don't let these gang run away! ”

The Liangshan Navy turned its bow, and under the blowing of the wind, Zhang Shun led the naval flagship towards the Song Army's naval division.

In order to escape for their lives, the Song army's sailors fled in all directions, and the chaos became a pot of porridge, which slowed down a lot of the speed of the battle.

The battleship weighed 4,000 stones, the length of the battleship was 10 zhang, the width was 2 zhang, and it was a 3-masted wooden sailing ship. The bow was wrapped with iron, and ramming angles were also installed.

Most of the swordfish battles are only 500 to 800 stones, and the maximum load is only 1,000 stones, where is the opponent of the battleship.

Zhang Shun's battleship crashed straight over, and the sturdy ironclad bow smashed the swordfish warheads that came up to smithereens.

The waves cleaved by the battleship can push the approaching swordfish wars away.

Seeing that the Liangshan Navy was coming, many Song soldiers on the swordfish battle were jumping into the sea by themselves before the battle was docked, swimming desperately to the shore, and escaping into the water village.

Zhang Shun would not let go of this good opportunity, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, quick, keep up, follow them into the water village!" ”

As soon as the battleship approached the seashore, Zhang Shun took the lead, jumped into the sea with a machete in his hand, and then swam to the beach with the machete in his mouth.

Stepping barefoot on the beach, Zhang Shun held a machete in his hand, and roared like a wild lion's roar. Some Song soldiers dared to come to stop them, and they were all cut to the ground by him.

Zhang Shunfeng rushed into the Song soldiers' formation, the big knife waved, and the blood light collapsed.

Inspector Li, who had fled, saw the enemy general killed ashore from a distance, and shouted angrily with his eyes: "Let's go up together and kill him!" ”

Now is the critical moment for the battle for the gate of the water village, seeing General Zhang in a bloody battle, the six hundred Liangshan soldiers who jumped off the boat ran ashore from the sea with axes and machetes, killed the Song soldiers, and supported Zhang Shun.

The Liangshan soldiers who swam ashore gathered together, and many of them held rattan cards to carry the slashing of the Song soldiers, and went straight into the Song soldiers' array.

They rushed over with a ferocious chop, the axe split the body of Song Bing, blood kept splattering, and severed arms kept appearing in the air, human heads flew wildly, and the blood of the corpse kept gushing out.

The sailors of the Song army have been comfortable for many years, and they are not the opponents of the Liangshan Navy at all, and they are killed and retreat step by step.

The beach was littered with the corpses of Song Bing, and the red blood flowed into a stream that flowed across the sand and into the sea.

Seeing the enemy so fierce, Inspector Li was frightened, and now he didn't care about shouting for his men to go down and kill Zhang Shun, and turned around and wanted to escape into the water village and close the water gate.

When Li Patrol gave orders, Zhang Shun noticed him.

Seeing that he was about to escape, Zhang Shun cut down the surrounding Song soldiers, broke out of the encirclement, and quickly rushed forward, and the machete quickly slashed at Li Xunjian. "Die!"

Seeing this, Li's personal soldiers hurriedly set up a big knife to resist.

"Trash fish, get out of here! Don't get in the way! ”

Where would Zhang Shun care about these pawns, he cut down these Song soldiers with three or two knives, sneered and walked forward again, raised his machete and slashed at the head of Li Inspector with all his might.

Inspector Li gritted his teeth and waved his sword in both hands to meet the fight, and while resisting, he shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, come on......"

Before Song Bing rushed up, "Touch!" After the unusually piercing sound of blades clashing, the sword in Inspector Li's hand was knocked away, the tiger's mouth was broken, and blood flowed.

The machete slashed Inspector Lee's shoulder from right down, and his armor was broken.

Zhang Shun raised another knife to cut off Inspector Li's head, raised it and shouted loudly: "Your lord is dead, if you don't want to die, surrender quickly!" ”

Seeing Inspector Li's head, many frightened Song soldiers immediately dropped their weapons and shouted: "I'm willing to surrender, I'm willing to surrender!" ”

……

Successfully took the water village, Zhang Shun left Tong Wei and Tong Meng two brothers to lead three hundred sailors to take over the water village and monitor the Song soldiers, and he led the remaining five hundred sailors to rush to support Sun Li in Penglai City.

In Penglai City, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao led five hundred special forces to create chaos.

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao led their subordinates to keep creating fires along the street with torches, and killed all the way to the West Gate.

Yang Tong, the capital of the rear army of the Song army, saw that a thief soldier was coming, and hurriedly ordered a thousand of his men to step forward to stop this gang of thieves.

Seeing that the Song soldiers were coming, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao shouted: "Don't entangle with the enemy, quickly kill and disperse these people." Meet General Sun! ”

After the first unsuccessful infiltration of the enemy city, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao learned their lesson and reformulated a more suitable combat method for them.

In addition to the fire fold, each special forces now carries five iron grenades on their bodies.

The special forces pulled out the hanging grenade bullet from behind their waists, lit it with a torch, and threw it fiercely into the Song soldiers' formation.

The loud bang exploded in the Song soldiers, and the shattered pieces of iron and the thunderclap-like loud sound made the Song soldiers stunned for a moment.

Two waves of grenade shells were thrown out one after another, and in the explosion, the Song soldiers who killed 1,000 people were blown up in an instant, and only more than 600 people remained.

Before the Song soldiers, who had experienced the baptism of grenade bullets, woke up from their fear, they were presented with a cold mountain of swords in front of them.

"Kill !!"

Five hundred special forces roared in unison, raising the broadsword in their hands above the top, and the sharp cold light made the gray sky fade.

The big knife falls!

In the frightened gaze of Song Bing, he cut open from their heads and necks, sliced their chests and abdomen, and brought a rain of blood when they were raised again.

In the blink of an eye, the special forces had already entered the formation of the Song army.

Simply and neatly killing, one step at a time, no one in ten steps!

The ground was full of corpses of Song soldiers, and Song soldiers were frightened by the strength of the special forces, they didn't have the courage to fight this group of demons anymore, and hurriedly turned around and fled backwards.

The Song soldiers, who were originally 600 people, were less than 200 in an instant.

Seeing that Song Bing had fled, Xie Zhen hurriedly said to Xie Bao on the side, "Song Bing has been frightened, and the time has come to break the enemy." If we take advantage of the momentum to attack, we will be able to win a big victory! ”

"Okay, attack it!" Xie Bao also looked excited, and replied in a loud voice.

Since he took refuge in Marshal Shi Jin, Shi Jin has relied on their two brothers very much. Let them form a special forces corps, and the weapons, equipment, etc., they need to give whatever they want.

There was never a shortage of money, food, and military salaries, and the soldiers also let them choose at will among the Liangshan army.

After half a year of training, but in the Battle of Jeju, they failed to help at all in their first battle, and were defeated by the Song soldiers.

Although Marshal Shi Jin did not blame them, but still strongly supported them, the two brothers felt very sorry for the marshal.

In today's battle, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao are determined to play the prestige of the special forces corps, that is, to let Marshal Shi Jin see that his support is not in vain.

"The Song army has been defeated, and our army will win today!" Xie Zhen raised the big knife in his hand and roared wildly, "All soldiers, follow me to break the enemy and rush into battle!" ”

"Break the enemy and charge the formation......" Xie Bao also raised his sword and roared.

"Break the enemy and charge the battle!" Five hundred Liangshan special forces roared in unison.
