Chapter 504: A Crushing Victory
Mu Sichen ran away, and the Mongolian naval army was distracted, which greatly reduced the pressure on Chen Yong, who intercepted him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If the Mongol navy and the Great Song navy attacked with all their might, with the shells carried by Chen Yong's ten large boats and twenty small boats, they would hold out for more than ten minutes at most.
But now, everything has changed. Mu Sichen fled, and the Mongol naval army was completely dispersed.
Chen Yong was very happy, but in addition to being happy, he found a very depressed situation, because in addition to Zhao Cheng leaving a few large ships and a dozen small boats to detain the prisoners, the main fleet was all taken away to chase Mu Sichen, and for him Chen Yong, there was no support left.
The Great Song Navy on the opposite side is now looking at him with fierce eyes, if Mu Sichen is running around, the Great Song Navy is in a hurry, and he will be stabbed first, then the next situation of his fleet will be miserable.
"My lord, that Ruan Xiaoqi seems to have taken the Mongolian port in Dongying, the Mongolian naval army has been defeated, should we go......" The deputy general walked over at this time, rubbed his hands together and spoke.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Yong's eyes froze. "Our task is to stop the Great Song Navy in front, and as for the matter of captives, someone will naturally take care of it."
The adjutant general was stunned and looked at Chen Yong with indescribable eyes. In his opinion, now that the outcome has been decided, and Mongolia is defeated, the Great Song Dynasty will never fight with them again. The most important thing to do now is not to continue to fight at the risk of dying in battle, but to take advantage of the opportunity to earn more combat merits and prepare for the reward of the battle.
And Chen Yong refused directly. A person who has always been greedy for life and afraid of death knocked the Great Song Dynasty Navy and the Mongolian Navy to death, it can be said that he was born after death, but now that the Mongolian Navy has been defeated, he even refuses to take credit, refuses to avoid danger, and continues to risk death to fight with the Great Song Dynasty, which the deputy general did not expect.
In his eyes, Chen Yong was either crazy, or he was replaced by another soul.
"Pass the order." Chen Yong didn't have the heart to care about the deputy general, and continued to order. "Order all the ships and move towards the Song army. Remember, all artillery can't be stopped. For approaching ships, muskets and small cannonballs can be used. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Yong waved his hand. "Go down and give orders."
The adjutant general left the herald, and Chen Yong took a breath. Muttered to himself. In this way, a triple interception strike of artillery, muskets, and small shells is formed. It should be safe. ”
Chen Yong's side, with attack as defense, rushed towards the Great Song Navy with 10,000 cannons.
The commander of the Great Song Dynasty Navy this time was Zhang Jun, and before he came, Zhao Gou specially summoned him. And explained it to him very clearly.
This rescue was to consolidate the alliance between the Great Song Dynasty and the Mongols. If you can join forces with the Mongolian navy to destroy Zhao Shuo's navy, it will naturally be the best. But if Zhao Shuo's army can't be destroyed, it can be greatly weakened.
When Zhang Jun heard Zhao Gou's words, he was full of confidence, but now, in front of reality, he could barely laugh.
The Mongolian navy has dozens of large ships and countless small boats, and the overall number is not much better than Zhao Shuo's navy. Now with the addition of more than 30 large ships and more than 100 small ships sent by the Great Song Dynasty, this would have had an absolute advantage.
But now, it seems, the Mongol navy has collapsed. The remaining ships of Zhao Shuo's navy seem to be a little older than the ships of the Great Song reinforcements.
This is not counting, the most important thing is that the Mongolian naval army is now almost no longer combative, and it has completely become meat on the chopping board, allowing Zhao Shuo's naval army to strangle.
There was another thing that made him even more depressed, that is, the flagship of the Mongolian naval army, now with a large number of Zhao Shuo's naval ships was rushing towards this side from the side. On the front, the other part of Zhao Shuo's water army, which was originally not eye-catching, actually adopted a frontal attack by a ghost, which was completely a desperate posture.
The artillery range of Zhao Shuo's naval army was longer than that of the Great Song naval army, so the impact of Zhao Cheng's naval army gave a lot of casualties to the naval army led by Zhang Jun.
In a helpless situation, Zhang Jun adopted a roundabout tactic, the main fleet came in an all-round way, reduced the hit area, extended the fleet, and one went to meet the flagship of the Mongolian navy, after all, if the naval marshal of the Mongolian navy was arrested, then the face of the Song-Mongolian coalition army would be too big. The rest of the fleet was ready to retreat at any time.
Zhang Jun's idea is very simple, reduce losses, rescue quickly, and after the rescue, run away.
Zhang Jun acted, Zhao Cheng was not idle, when he found out that the Great Song Navy sent ships to the rescue, he immediately gave the order, moved forward at full speed, and fired a salvo of artillery.
The Great Song Naval Army, which came to rescue the Mongolian flagship, also received an order that the Mongolian flagship must be rescued, even if it is death, the Mongolian flagship must be rescued.
They all understood what Zhang Jun's order meant. Their family is all in the Great Song Dynasty. If they die in battle, it is okay to say, if they become deserters, they can survive by luck, but their families will be implicated because of him as a deserter.
Between the old and the young, they chose to let their family live.
The rescued Great Song Navy was shorter than Zhao Cheng's Navy because the artillery shot was shorter than Zhao Cheng's Navy, so it could only dodge with all its might, and then approached Zhao Cheng's Navy Army.
Of course, in the process of dodging, even if the range is not enough, you still have to put a few shots to scare.
The desperate rescue of the Song army slowed down Zhao Cheng's pursuit army significantly. There is no way, he is rushing hard, and he will enter the attack range of the Great Song Water Army.
Zhao Cheng has been fighting to the death every day these days, and he has long been physically exhausted. And the fleet he led also went through a desperate struggle with the Mongolian navy to get to where it is now. And the Great Song Dynasty Navy, although it came from afar, was also tired, but the fatigue of sailing was still too far behind compared to the fatigue of war.
It can be said that Zhao Cheng's fleet, with tense nerves, has almost reached the limit, and as long as he relaxes, he may not be able to afford to fall. They, he really needs a rest.
"The whole army obeyed the order, faced the flagship of the Mongols, and beat me to the death." Zhao Cheng gave an order, which was a slightly helpless order. Since you can't be captured alive, you have to destroy it.
This time, there were many more shells than Chen Yong's. After all, the number of ships in Zhao Cheng's fleet was much larger than Chen Yong's.
After a bit of bombing, soon the Mongol flagship was hit, and the ship was on fire. Soldiers, countless divers.
In order to prevent the Mongol commander Mu Sichen from escaping, Zhao Cheng once again ordered all artillery to concentrate on the waters around the Mongol ships, trying not to let a single person on the Mongol flagship escape alive.
But what he didn't expect was that Mu Sichen had already secretly found a small boat on the other side when he launched his first round of attacks, quietly joined the naval army that came to the rescue of the Great Song Dynasty, and fled.
After learning that Mu Sichen was rescued, Zhang Jun, who had no intention of fighting, gave the order to retreat. And Zhao Cheng, who was already exhausted and thought that he had killed Mu Sichen, fell to the ground in decadence and did not order the pursuit, because they were too tired.
In this way, the sea battle between Zhao Shuo, Zhao Gou, and Mu Tuo came to an end for the time being. Zhao Gou, a tragic victory.
