Chapter 341: First Contact
The commander of the Tatar army, Ashu, was filled with several confidences, and he smiled as his army slowly crossed the nameless river. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
All is well.
The Han dogs are so frightened that they are all huddled in the fortress and shivering, right?!
They continued to walk towards the Xiangyang City area, and they had to walk for many days.
To tell the truth, Zhang Guoan's island owner has always been conflicted in his heart, he thought of the terrible ending of the Tatar bandit group to destroy the Song Dynasty, and he was anxious about it; But he didn't overestimate the level of this space-time war, as long as he thought that their battles were all counted in years, he was relieved again.
Time is on his side.
However, neither the Tatar side nor the Great Song side knew that there was a third party watching them.
The Tatar bandit group is now in the prime of its momentum, considering itself invincible in the world, and they do have capital arrogance.
When the Ashu Lord led his army to the edge of the Xiangyang City area, they encountered real resistance.
Just as they were trying to cross a river dozens of paces wide as before, they suddenly heard a whistle and dozens of small saury boats sprang out of the grass on the opposite bank!
Like dexterous swordfish, they pounced on the raft that was slowly paddling.
The Tatar soldiers on the raft were panicked, where did they think that this would be the way to fight!
Without waiting for them to react, hundreds of Song soldiers on those small knife boats quickly began to shoot arrows, only to see the big raft on the howl and fall into the river, and the ------ who were squeezed down were actually better at using crossbows, but they found that in small boats, crossbows were far less convenient than bows and arrows, so they switched to strong bows.
This style of play is too bullying!
The main general Ah Shu, who was still on the shore, hurriedly ordered the archers to step forward, and for a while the arrows rained down.
The Song soldiers on the small swordfish boat hurriedly stopped their bows and arrows at this time, and they raised the shields beside them. Block the rain of arrows.
However, since they were interspersed among the many rafts, the soldiers on those rafts were also hit by arrows.
The archers on the shore continued to shoot, and the Song soldiers had to slowly row away, and then burrowed into the water and grass on the shore and did not appear.
By this time, there were not many Tatar soldiers left on the raft. The corpses of Tatar soldiers floated all over the river, and some were desperately struggling to hold the raft.
The river is still floating with wisps of blood!
The Lord will let them come back at once, and replace them with archers to see who can shoot more accurately!
As a result, the archers crossed the river without any obstacles.
After nearly a thousand of their archers came ashore, the more than 100 rafts rowed back.
The main general Ah Shu smiled, haha, compared to bows and arrows, we are the first in the world!
Then. I only heard the sound of artillery on the other side, interspersed with the sound of crackling, and the howl of archers!
It's broken, it's in an ambush!
The main general, Ah Shu, immediately ordered the raft to come back quickly, to cross the river with a mixture of soldiers and archers, and to take a war horse!
At this time, his Han deputy immediately made a suggestion to build more rafts immediately. It's better to transport as many soldiers as you can at a time, otherwise it will become a refueling technique------- which makes perfect sense. Ah Shu immediately ordered Duoduo to build!
When they had crossed three hundred, with tiger cannons and war horses, there were less than five hundred archers left.

Later, the lord asked Ah Shu clearly, and the other party was only about 300 people!
The Lord General Ashu had a gloomy face, and as he walked, he looked at the corpses that had fallen to the ground. They died in horror, and each of them had a blood hole the size of a porcelain bowl and the size of a wine cup------
He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Song Dog, who is as timid as a mouse, only dares to secretly attack my army." If they place a large force here, our army will be extremely difficult to cross the river! Haha, that's stupid!! ”
The lieutenants behind him barely laughed.
This is actually a big setback.
Of course, Lu Wende knew about this place, and he also knew that they would definitely come from here, but the reason why he didn't stop it here was that the main battlefield was on the river.
He wants to deal with the deputy commander Liu Cheng with all his might!
Now, whether it is out of public or private affairs, he attaches great importance to the waterway, and if he breaks the waterway, he will cut off his lifeline.
If the main general Ah Shu was only slightly blocked, then the deputy general Liu Cheng was hit by Lu Wende's full force, and he didn't leave a back hand at all and attacked with all his might.
Lu Wende did not leave the warship to watch the family, because he had already built a high platform in the heart of the river and put on all kinds of weapons, and those high platforms were unsinkable warships, so he was not afraid.
Those who sink warships and burn warships will be rewarded with cotton fields and peanut fields!
Now these two products are far more valuable than rice, which is a truth that everyone knows------
The morale of the sailors came, and they rushed down the river and downstream.
Lu Wende looked at his warship and sighed in his heart, if it was in the past, where would he have the money to build so much?!
Waiting for military spending? Even eating was a problem before!
He patted the cement battlements and thought, it is the wealth brought by this waterway, and keeping this waterway will allow the Lu family to develop greatly!
Of course, this is also the middle gateway of my Great Song Dynasty, and it must not be lost!
Soon after, nearly 20,000 warships met on the river.
Looking down from the sky, they looked like two dragons floating on the water, rushing towards each other with great momentum------
The deputy commander-in-chief, Liu Quan, knew that he was going against the current, so he chose a favorable time to move forward, and the speed of the entire fleet was not weak.
After seeing the opponent's fleet from a distance, he hurriedly ordered the banner of the navy to be hoisted and prepared for battle.
For a time, the sound of golden gongs was chaotic, the trumpets and flags were waving, and all the sailors were moving, and they had to defeat this fleet.
In real history, neither side had such a large number of warships, and the main battlefield was not here, but on the water near Xiangyang City.
When Deputy General Liu Quan discussed the military with the main general Ashu before, he proposed the tactic of trapping Xiangyang.
First of all, it is necessary to cut off the connection between Xiangyang City and the Handong region, and build forts at Baihekou and Lumen Mountain in the east of Xiangyang City; Then it is necessary to cut off the Xiangyang grain road, make the north and the south not connected, and let the general Shi Tianze build a long fence, starting from Wanshan and covering Baizhang Mountain; The third step is a long-term difficult plan, in Zhuxian Mountain, Hutou Mountain as a word city, contact Zhubao, cut off Xiang, Fan Qiaosu Road; The fourth step is to encircle the two cities and build a new city and the west of the Han River; The fifth step is to cut off the westward traffic of the Han River, further shrink and build a new city to trap Xiangyang, and at the same time build a fort Wanshan to cut off the westward traffic of the Han River, and set up a fence to cut off the eastward flow of the Guanzi Beach.
It's all about controlling the waterways, so this battle must be won!
In the Lu military group, the main commander who led the naval army was Lu Wenfu, and he also knew that this was a water war that he could not afford to lose.
After he saw the sails of the other party's ship from a distance, he immediately ordered: "The whole army obeys the order and raises the battle flag!" (To be continued.) )
