According to the rules of the Song Dynasty naval army naming warships, these warships were named "Dade Mountain", "Turtle Mountain", "Songshan" and "Xiaode Mountain" according to the place names of the timber used to build ships.

Even Qu Shen had to admit that if he wanted to ensure the victory of the final battle and let these big guys with firearms rush to the front, even the Huangzhou Navy Army, which was a friendly army, felt a lot more relieved. Since Peng Man was willing to take the initiative to ask for war, he no longer held opposing views.

Meng Hui was not such a light person, he opened his mouth and asked, "If you are the vanguard, how will you set up the formation?" ”

"This operation is the last battle of the year with the enemy, so our army does not need to hide any means to use it later. This time, it was headed by four eight-chariot boats, accompanied by 20 iron harrier boats and 40 water sentinel horses as escorts. Then six six-chariot boats with sixty oars were divided into two small receiving groups on the left and right wings. As soon as the front engages the enemy, immediately step forward to meet it. The Chinese army consisted of fourteen four-chariot boats and a hundred oar-boats and splint clippers as large receiving convoys, and in addition, a covering force of thirty water sentinel horses was arranged on each flank, and the baggage boats were dragged behind. "Since Peng Man received the support of the Ezhou Navy and the Jianghai Army, his strength has become even stronger, and even if he deals with the Mongol army's large ship regiment alone, he has the certainty of victory.

At the time of engagement, the gunboat will first be used to frustrate the enemy's spirit, and then the small receiving team will support the forward to open the battle line, and the large receiving team will press on the all-round engagement, and the rear of the cover will be deployed in the first place.

"Okay, the Huangzhou Navy is the second team, the Zhenjiang Navy is the third team, and the Ezhou Navy is the fourth team." Meng Heng said: "The victory or defeat of this battle depends on the cooperation of everyone. ”

Having said that, Meng Heng knew that this battle was very certain, and the campaign of the past year showed that although the Mongols were desperately learning the skills of water warfare, they were still only the hatchlings of water warfare after all, and the Southern Song Dynasty naval army, which had been fighting with the Jin State on the river for a hundred years, had a strategic advantage. And it has always been a well-known thing for southerners to ride boats and northerners to ride horses, and on the water, Jiangnan men are not afraid of Mongolia's iron horses.

What he feared was that the elite cavalry that had already crossed north would go and return, and Zheng Yunming would not be able to defeat the enemy forces on the south bank, so that the ships would be attacked by the Mongols from both sides and on the water. After all, as long as they went ashore, the Mongol army could be said to be invincible.

Zheng Yunming, who was in the city, was equally worried about this.

According to common sense, before the final battle, everyone needs to recuperate, adjust their state to the best, and then go all out to fight for their lives. But Zheng Yunming knew that many of the big people in Xiangyang City were like him that night, and they couldn't sleep.

Lai Ruyue came to inquire several times, but was blocked by Ren Xiongwei at the door of the study. This is a life-and-death moment, and there is no room for the slightest love for children.

The sequence of battles has been drawn up, the distribution of food and grass has been completed, the mobilization of soldiers has been carried out overnight, and the armament of weapons has been completed. Even the arrangement of the sequence of defending the city after leaving the city and the arrangement of the battlefield cleanup after the battle have been planned.

But at this time, Zheng Yunming did not have a trace of sleepiness, but was extremely sober. Attacking halfway is the art of war, Zheng Yunming understands it, and Tath also understands it. When the army retreated, the Mongols would inevitably be lined up with elite soldiers, waiting for the Song soldiers to take the opportunity to sneak attack, and the naval army would inevitably be in good spirits, waiting for the surprise attack of the Song army's naval division at any time.

If you want to win tomorrow's war, the key is all tied to two words, fast and ruthless, Meng Hui's navy wants to come fast enough, so fast that the Mongolian navy can't resist effectively. The troops attacking from Xiangyang also had to be deployed fast enough, so that the enemy's troops behind the palace did not have time to deploy a cavalry formation, which enveloped the infantry-based army of the Song army. The offensive of the naval army on the river should be fierce enough, not to mention the total annihilation of the Mongol ships, at least they must be driven away in all directions, and there is no time to cross the Mongol army. The attack on 6 must be brave and ferocious, and destroy the enemy with a strong momentum in one fell swoop.

The Great Song Dynasty has been weak for 300 years, and there are very few leaders in the history of the country who can do these two things, but Zheng Yunming and his Jing Chu army must do it, because they are facing the strongest opponent in China for thousands of years.

At this time, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang were still immersed in sleep, and most of them fantasized that the enemy would withdraw his troops as soon as possible and that peace would come as soon as possible, but there were also some clever guys who noticed the abnormal movements of the officers and soldiers. The sergeants were busy sorting out their armor and weapons, the treasury was hastily allocating weapons, food, and gunpowder, and all the Langzhong were recruited.

However, the traces of a qiē were only allowed to appear in the city, and the guards were strengthened in the city, and no news was allowed to leak out of the city, and a small number of guards were deliberately added to the head of the city, and when the opponent's army retreated, it seemed unnatural to withdraw the guard. Increase the vigilance of the city head a little, and it seems that it is the psychology that should be guarded against the other party's repentance at any time. The flags at the head of the city began to flutter, and the flags flipped to the west. is the same as Bai Yijie's prediction in advance, and sure enough, the wind began to rise, and it was still a small southeast wind.

Zheng Yunming was overjoyed, pushed open the door and shouted: "The southeast wind is rising, the sky is clear, and the victory is only at present!" ”

The generals gathered in the courtyard all understood the meaning of his words, the southeast wind rose, which would be conducive to the Song army's sailors going upstream, to achieve the goal of a quick raid, and the clear sky was a good opportunity to use firearms. The time and place are on the side of the Southern Dynasty, and the rest only depends on whether the executor has forged ahead.

In the Mongolian camp, Yao Shu, a scholar who came with the army to the south, was worried, the scholar did not know the soldiers, and could only copy some of the principles of war from the pile of words and paper, among which the favorite history of ordinary scholars was the Three Kingdoms period, Yao Shu, who was familiar with the allusions of Chibi, understood that the southeast wind was strong, and it was not good news for the northern army that was crossing the river.

He hurriedly found Wanhu Yanshi, who was in charge of commanding the army to cross the river, and reminded: "The southeast wind is rising, be careful of the southern dynasty attacking." ”

Yan Shi snorted and said: "Since the peace agreement has been established, the officials of the Southern Dynasty only know how to applaud and cheer, where do they still have the courage to come out and attack our army?" The gentleman was overwhelmed. When he was young, he was also a member of the Song ** team in the north, and when he was besieged by the Mongols, he once asked Li Quan, the commander of Shandong of the Song Dynasty, for help, but Li Quan resolutely refused to save him, so that his subordinates were wiped out.

Yao Shu wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted impatiently: "The army is about to cross the river in a moment, and it can't be delayed to rush back to the north, how can I have time to listen to you like this?" If you have an opinion, talk to the king! ”

"I was about to ask about this," Yao Shu asked anxiously, "I couldn't find King Tath all morning, where did he go at such a critical juncture?" ”

Yan Shi pointed towards the north bank of the Han River: "The king has already crossed the river, you should be able to find him if you go over now." ”

Yan Shi did not specify the king's exact location, and Yao Shu had a lot of trouble finding the king's location, but fortunately a big man like the king would not be drowned in the huge army. Yao Shu inquired all the way, and finally found Tath and Zhang Rou by a bush of trees by the Hanshui.

"Our army will take these two cities in the coming day," Tasi looked at Fancheng and said hatefully: "Although we can't capture Xiangyang today, it's not that we have nothing to gain." The advantages upheld by Xiangyang are, first, the large river blocking, second, the sharp firearms, and the third is the strong city wall. Dealing with this city can't be like attacking the big cities of Zhongdu. If you want to capture Xiangyang, you have to come up with a surprising trick. ”

He looked at the strict military appearance at the head of Fancheng, every five feet there must be a soldier in armor holding a spear to wait, as soon as the small drum in the city sounded, someone immediately changed shifts in order, its solemn posture made people daunting.

"It's also a loss to the defenders of this small city, although there are not many soldiers, but their combat power is good, and they can almost be compared with Zheng Yunming's subordinates. In order to capture Xiangyang City, it is necessary to attack this city first. Tath asked quietly, "Who is the defender of this city, and has he not been able to find out when he is about to retreat?" ”

"That person was originally a small army general under Wanyan Yi, called Qin Wu, who was quite important in the Southern Dynasty since he returned to the Southern Dynasty, and was actually appointed as the general of a city guard." Zhang Rou smiled cruelly: "It's just a small pawn in the Northern Army, and I will capture this person alive in the coming year and dedicate it to the king." ”

"Monk Chen's subordinates are all warriors, and they should not be despised for their opponents." "Fortunately," Tath reminded: "Fortunately, the Sinansi people have always been suspicious of the old tribe of Sain Khan, and they are just using the opposite strategy, as you often say, soldiers are but a collection of tricks. Fighting a war requires both courage and resourcefulness. ”

He was about to talk to Zhang Rou about the details of using the discord meter, when he suddenly saw Yao Shu, a scholar from the Han land, running in a hurry. Surprised, he asked, "What is it that makes you run so fast?" Could it be that there is a change in the rear? ”

Yao Shu couldn't even wipe the sweat on his forehead, gasped and said: "Now the southeast wind in ,,,,, is very urgent, and we must guard against the enemy's fire attack from the river." ”

Tath suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "The fire is coming!" Hurriedly ordered Shi Tianze to deploy archers on both sides of the Han River to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the southeast wind! ”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a panicked shout from downstream: "The warship is the warship of the Sinan Siren!" ”

On the Han River, thousands of sails are divided, hundreds of boats come out together, and large and small warships are all over the river, galloping upstream.

At that time, the southeast wind was strong, and all the Song ships were full of sails, obviously for the sake of speed, and could not take into account the strict formation of the formation. And rushing to the forefront were four eight-car warships in a column all the way. In addition to the use of wind power, the car and boat also have the manpower propulsion of the pedal oarsman, the drum wheel is like flying, and the oars are rowing, which is even more than the other boats. The red battle flag of the Jingchu Navy on the carriage and ship was unfurled, and the deck was full of soldiers wearing armor and bending bows, and Zhang Weixiao held the divine arm bow and shouted loudly: "Today's Dongting gunboat will definitely be famous in the world, follow me!" Advance! Advance! ”
