Chapter 184: A One-Sided Battle

Lord Zhang, Lord Lu, and Zhu Qing's fleet outside the bay attacked in a big way, and Wang Po, who was in charge of vigilance, had already gone up to meet the enemy. ”

"Okay, send Liao, who is in charge of support, to stop the enemy ship at the mouth of the sea, and not let one in!"

Zhang Shijie had already taken precautions against Zhu Qing's attack, and Zhu Qing would definitely make some moves over there, and he had already arranged for Wang Po, who was in charge of vigilance, to meet the enemy, and the mobile support fleet was led by Liao Shi, who could join the battlefield at any time to support Wang Po.

The planned sneak attack turned into an open attack, Zhang Hongfan didn't care, which shows that it is not too late for him to fight when he comes, if he regrets it, it is better to start the general attack as soon as the army arrives last night. If you continue to wait for the Song army to recover its strength, Li Heng's naval force will be three points weaker, if it is rushed by the Song army, won't it be a plan to cut off the tail again, and then want to surround Emperor Song Youdi I don't know what year and month.

Wang Po is also a veteran who has fought for many years, although he does not have any particularly outstanding skills, but he is cautious and thoughtful, good at defense in front of the two armies, and never rushes into doing something beyond his ability. However, today's task is very important, and it is no longer a battlefield that can be controlled by the brain, but is completely a fight of real strength, and there is no room for falsification.

The warships of the Yuan soldiers sailed from the bay into the wide waterway, and the warships of the oncoming Wang Po were already lined up, and the trebuchets and crossbows were tightened with nooses, just waiting for the warships of the vanguard of the Yuan soldiers to enter the firing range.

Zhang Hongfan looked at the rows of Song army warships in front of him, and said coldly: "Cover the salvo of the gunboats, and give them a dismount with full firepower, so that after they are frightened, they are not allowed to let go of any of them after tailgating." ”

The herald behind him began to issue orders, and the ten gunboats rushed to the Song army fleet ahead of the other ships, and saw that they were about to enter the killing distance of the trebuchet and the crossbow bed at a distance of 300 paces, when suddenly the rudder turned sideways, exposing the black hole in the gun's side.

The soldiers of the Song army were still nervously waiting for the enemy to approach, but the Yuan gunboat was already the best range within three hundred paces, so how could it be possible to get one step closer. A little scarlet fire shadow flashed, and thirty brave cannons roared in unison, and flames several feet long erupted from the muzzles, and at the same time as the deafening cannon sound, they reached the Song army's fleet at the same time, which was full of iron ball projectiles and egg-sized iron filings.

"Ahh......h

"Oh, knock......"

"Knock, knock."

"Ah, help......"

Like a lotus leaf that had been hit by an overwhelming hailstorm, the Song army's warship, which was still majestic just now, became full of holes and screamed. The archers with bows and arrows did not have time to shoot the first arrow of the day, and they were scattered by the cannons, leaving only the soldiers who covered their wounds in the night, calling out to their companions in a miserable manner.

As soon as the cannon sounded, Wang Po's heart sank suddenly, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, but the gunboat still chased after him.

"The first row of ships went out at full speed, rushed up and rammed their gunboats, and left the rest alone, just hit him desperately. The second row of shooters all went into the cabin to dodge, and the people on the deck took their shields and armor, and continued to accelerate, the target was still the gunboat of the Yuan soldiers, and I would sink it. ”|

Although the order was transmitted, the first row of more than a dozen boats was full of wounded soldiers, and some of the ships also had the commander's generals killed and wounded, and the execution of the order was not so neat, which was equivalent to dividing into two groups in the front and rear, and rushed towards the gunboats of the Yuan soldiers at different speeds.

The Song army only had such a way to restrain Zhang Hongfan's gunboats, and it did work in the first few broken battles, damaging two gunboats, but what could it be, as long as the cannon was there, the power was still on that ship.

However, the Song army has lost countless warships and soldiers for this, and as long as the enemy gunboat is found, it is this trick, no matter whether it is dead or alive, how can Zhang Hongfan not have the corresponding tactics to crack.

The ten gunboats still began to turn around neatly, and when the cannons at the stern adjusted the angle, they fired a salvo at the Song warships, although the number was smaller, but the distance was closer, and the power became greater.

The masts of several Song warships were broken in the middle, and they fell to the sides with the sails, not only smashing the soldiers below, but also the hull of the ship began to twist and collide with the approaching warship.

At this time, the Yuan army warship, which had been prepared, rushed forward from the back of the gunboat, covering the gunboat with its hull and continuing to turn around, and at this time, the Song army warship that rushed to the front was already covered with blood on the deck, and there were few soldiers standing.

The trebuchet swished out a large stone, smashing the deck of the Song warship, followed by a rain-like sharp arrow, covering the movable human body on the deck.

Wang Po choked back tears and then ordered.

"The third row of ships struck at full speed and sank them."

Today's task is no different from the previous tail breaking behavior, it is completely dependent on human lives and the damage of warships to block the offensive of the Yuan soldiers, and the more than 100 warships in their hands can be fed again and again, how long can they last?

Although the water surface is wide, in order to choke the waterway and prevent the Yuan soldiers from entering, the position of the confrontation between the two sides is like choking throats, which is the tightest position of the waterway, and the strategic purpose of the Yuan soldier Xie Guoyong to block the Song army in Ezhou is the same.

Only by fighting only the blood and life of the enemy can feed the sword full of hatred in his hand, Wang Po's second wave of warships rushed up, and fell into the siege of the Yuan soldiers. It didn't last long, the Song army on the deck was cleaned up, and then the long hook captured, and the Song army warship was dragged aside.

After a while, the deck was already full of Yuan soldiers armed with scimitars, and the Song soldiers hiding in the cabin were left, and there was only one way left to fight, which was also a doomed road of no return.

War is like a huge meat grinding machine, harvesting the lives of the losers very fairly, and the red blood stains in the cold water attract all kinds of predatory fish in the ocean. The strength in Wang Po's hands was about to be consumed by half, and the soldiers, who were about to lose their emotions, held the swords in their hands tightly, looked at the killing battlefield in front of them, and could only pray for the blessing of God in their hearts.

As the battle entered hand-to-hand combat, the disadvantage of the Song army was not so obvious, because after the Yuan soldiers' gunboats fired two rounds, the warships in the scene were already mixed together, and they could no longer organize large-scale salvos.

Zhang Hongfan's flagship went into battle and the flag was shaken, and the ten gunboats began to disperse in formation to fight separately, each looking for the Song warship that was fighting with the Yuan soldiers, and waiting for the opportunity to fire a cannon on the side to eliminate the soldiers on the deck who were fighting fiercely. In this way, no matter which Song warship could not withstand two cannons, once the casualties of the soldiers on the deck increased, they would soon be dragged by the Yuan soldiers with hooks and sent soldiers to board the ship to fight.

Zhang Hongfan looked at the one-sided battle situation with a straight face, and he was still not very satisfied in his heart.
