Chapter 186: The First Shot on the Cliff Mountain

The sun didn't seem to want to watch the merciless slaughter of the world, and as soon as it was noon, it was covered by thick clouds, and the weather gradually became gloomy, and the bloody atmosphere that permeated the air was extremely thick, making people hide their noses and eyes.

Zhao Tianyou has been sitting on the top of the mountain for a long time, his eyes and nose and nose and mouth are silent, and two different thoughts are emerging over and over again in his mind.

"Fight, fight, if you don't reach out to help, how can you change the tide of the battle!"

"Look closely, this is the real trend of history, if you change it rashly, can you be responsible in the future?"

"Let's do it, fight and fight, you can grab an emperor to be the emperor in the future, that's cool enough!"

"Don't get involved too much, do you still want to go home?"

"Hit, hurry up."

"Don't fight, wait and see!"

Sangou and Da Fat stood far away, not daring to disturb Zhao Tianyou, who looked like he was meditating, although they didn't know why, but they could also feel Zhao Tianyou's depressed mood, and he hesitated to make a final decision.

Li Heng sat in the big camp in East Xiongzhou, looking at the sparse generals around him, his heart was under a lot of pressure, the land siege of Xinhui County failed to succeed, the power of the Song army on the water was too fierce, and he had already sent all the back troops.

There are a lot of soldiers stationed on East Xiongzhou, but there are not enough warships that can go into battle, if Xie Guoyong still can't withstand it, he can only lead the army to flee to the shore, maybe that can knock down Xinhui County, but it is also difficult to make up for the losses on Xie Guoyong's warship.

I couldn't help but feel resentful of Zhang Hongfan's plan in my heart, the Mongolian cavalry had the advantage of being in the field, and they were not good at fighting on the water, but they forced them to sit on the boat and endure seasickness to fight with the Song army.

Zhang Hongfan sat on the Taishi chair, his tense face had eased, revealing a hint of relief, according to the feedback of intelligence on the battlefield, the Song army was already at the end of the crossbow, and a complete collapse might be the next moment.

Lu Xiufu and a group of ministers are still in the temporary palace on the shore, where the empress dowager and the young emperor are, he should be there, the Great Song Dynasty is there, but where will it be tomorrow and the future.

Wang Po was covered in blood and shot angrily at the Yuan soldiers on the opposite ship with a bow, one of his eyes was blinded, a blood-stained white cloth wrapped most of his face, and the remaining eye was only full of fighting intent. Liao Shi, who supported him, had already destroyed his ship and died on the surface, and the soldiers who were still fighting no longer needed any instructions, just used all kinds of weapons in their hands to attack and kill the enemy on the opposite side.

Huyan Aoki no longer believes that he can lead the army to rush over, and no matter how elite the soldier is, he can't fight continuously without eating or drinking. Although the Yuan soldiers in front of them suffered losses, they won because there were many people on board, and some of them did not have any weapons on board, but simply crossed the water to block the way.

However, Huyan Aoki's ship could no longer be rushed, and the soldiers on the deck were seriously damaged in battle, so they were not allowed to participate in the battle with some oarsmen from below, so they could only be comparable to the Yuan soldiers. If it continues to be entangled like this, Huyan Aoki's fleet is likely to be trapped here, not to mention that it will be difficult to break through or retreat.

Zhang Shijie was dressed in military armor and carried an iron spear in his hand, and gathered the last more than 300 ships and ships on the shore, which was the last force that the Song army could participate in the war, but in which direction did he want to take them?

The soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty on the shore, carrying their luggage on the boat one after another, left a lot of abandoned things on the ground that were too late to clean up, and it is estimated that there are also people who are hiding in the mountains and forests and are unwilling to flee for their lives.

Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu looked at each other across the boat, nodded with a wry smile, turned their heads to look at the direction of the mouth of the sea where the killing sound had been heard all day, and after staring for a while, the iron gun in their hands was raised, and a large number of ships put away the iron anchor and started slowly.

For the safety of the young emperor and the queen mother, Zhang Shijie buried his idea of going to the front-line battlefield to support in his heart, so what's the harm of blood splashing five steps? He was really tired and wanted to take the burden off his shoulders, but he thought that no one could take him over.

Tens of thousands of soldiers are still at the mouth of the sea to catch the right and the Yuan soldiers to fight, after several reinforcements, the two sides are stuck together, I am afraid there are already 50,000 or 60,000 people, as the advantage of the Yuan soldiers is becoming more and more obvious, Zhang Hongfan's army has rushed into the estuary.

"Plug it, block it, gamble with your life and block it for me......"

Wang Po's voice was hoarse, and when the standard-bearer conveyed the order, he waved the flag in his hand, and tears fell from his face. As soon as the flag waved, hundreds of soldiers calmly went to their deaths, but the warships waiting for orders in the back were getting fewer and fewer, and I am afraid that if they could not hold out for long, there would be no new warships following the flags in their hands and rushing to the weakest front.

As the Song warships were forced back little by little, the water surface that needed to be defended became more and more open, and all the soldiers were exhausted, directing fewer and fewer forces at hand to fill the holes. However, the Yuan army had sufficient troops to rotate, and after the warships rushed and killed a wave, a new new force would come up, and they could go back to treat the wounded and replenish supplies.

While the Song army's battle line was lengthened, the pressure gradually increased, and the rotation and rest of the Yuan soldiers kept them full of physical strength, while the Song army, which was fighting on the deck, had not advanced for most of the day. The wounded on the deck could not be effectively treated, and in order not to drag down their comrades-in-arms in an emergency, many Song soldiers who had no hope of survival committed suicide directly, or committed suicide by throwing themselves into the sea, staging scenes of battlefield tragedy.

The red sun was already moving closer to the West Mountain, and Zhao Tianyou, who had closed his eyes tightly, suddenly opened his eyes, patted his legs and sat up, pointed down and said, "They have been fighting for a long time, isn't this the Yuan soldiers about to win, why don't you two wake me up?" ”

Sangou said with an embarrassed face: "I, I, I don't know if you are asleep, I think you are practicing, where do you dare to disturb the general!" ”

"Alright, remove all the cannon's bunkers for me, reload and prepare for launch."

"Okay, General, I'm already ready to wait for your words, I guess Master Liu on the other side is already waiting to death!"

Sangou and Da Fat uncovered the tarpaulin covered by the cannon, revealing the thick Hongyi cannon body, and by moving the shaft up and down, left and right, the cannon could be adjusted to a certain angle for aiming, but compared to Zhao Tianyou's requirements, it was still much worse.

It's okay for two people to debug and aim the cannon, but it's not so familiar to get gunpowder and shells, Zhao Tianyou still has to step forward and teach little by little, and after loading the three cannons with enough angles to shoot, Zhao Tianyou stopped.

Prepare to test fire the first shot, strive for the first shot not to deviate too much from the target, you only need to give Liu Jinli on the opposite mountain a clear command, and the real killing of the enemy still needs them to complete. At this time, more than half of the Yuan soldiers' warships were in the range of the cannons, and what kind of results they wanted depended on whether Lao Liu's men were fast enough to reload.

"Three dogs, launch!"

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and a cloud of white gunpowder smoke rose from the peak of the cliff mountain.
