Even if Yang Yun was standing in the distance, he was shocked by the huge momentum of the fleet's burning, you must know that Zheng Yunming's hand had not even been able to discuss with him before, although he was slightly unhappy, he couldn't say anything. *Words*Love**Zheng Yunming's secret style of using troops in everything can be said to be taught by him, if you want to surprise the enemy, the most effective way is to hide even the closest people to the Lord in addition to the necessary personnel to implement tactics. This used to be what he said to Zheng Yunming more than once, and now that Zheng Yunming is using it on himself, Yang Luo has nothing to say. I had to urge the ships to continue to rush upstream, and the upstream was already full of ships of the Jing'e navy, with fifty water sentry horses and ten iron harrier ships led by Zhang Weixiao as the vanguard, and two four-car warships at the front of the team as guides. Zheng Yunming led three six-chariot warships and one hundred oar-boats and plywood boats as the central army's countermeasures, Peng Man led a six-chariot ship and thirty warships as the left flank, and Zhang Yi led a four-chariot ship and twenty-five warships as the right flank.

After Yang Liang's ship was now, two oarboats immediately broke out of the team and entered the fleet to meet Yang Luo's boat. Yang Luo climbed up the rope ladder onto Zheng Yunming's six-car boat. The three wheels on the left and right rotated like flying under the sailor's pedaling, and the wheels turned to bring up strings of white spray. Yang Luo came to Zheng Yunming's side, Zheng Yunming just nodded at him, turned to the bow of the boat and shouted: "Tell the brothers to save some strength, the oars and plywood boats will not be able to keep up with us!" ”

Yang Wei smiled and said: "The speed of this big car and ship is so fast that even the light and agile multi-oared boat can't catch up." It can really be described as the first weapon of water warfare. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that it was too expensive, easy to break down, and easy to be broken by enemy troops, it would indeed be the first weapon in water warfare." Zheng Yunming turned around and said, "Do you remember how Yue Pengju broke the wheel?" ”

After Zhong Xiang's death, he led Yang Qi to command the peasant army and used the rich timber resources near Dongting to build tall vehicles and ships. The new Song Dynasty was defeated by the Jin soldiers, financial resources were tight, and the navy was all small boats, so they were repeatedly broken by huge ships. Later, Yue Fei was ordered to come to pacify the bandits in Dongting Lake, and Yue Fei only had some plywood boats and oars boats left in his hands, all of which were civilian boats, but he had the soldiers put countless aquatic plants and trees upstream from the strategy of Senator Xue Yi. Then challenged by light soldiers, the peasant army vehicles and ships were tricked to lure the enemy, and launched a large attack on the small boats of the official army, but the water weeds and trees entangled the wheels, so that the vehicles and boats could not move when they boarded, and the Yuejia army swarmed up in small boats and captured all the valuable vehicles and ships.

"Yue Wumu can use this scheme, it is Xue Yi's credit." Yang Luo said: "None of the northerners know water, who would have thought of such an ingenious strategy? ”

"The shrewd always learns war from war." Zheng Yunming waved his hand: "Before the Mongols left the grassland, how did they know how to conquer cities?" However, they worked together, carefully planned, and learned how to siege the city from the Han people, and actively recruited Han soldiers. Clever siege expert. Even if the Mongols don't know the tactics of breaking cars and ships today, as long as they gather the wisdom of the crowd and humbly seek advice, the method of using aquatic plants will leak out sooner or later. Pure Father is so light on the enemy, but he can look down on our opponent as small. ”

"Perhaps. But that will have to wait until a few years later," Yang Luo waved his hand forward: "At least today, the deputy capital has been able to reap the victory."

He was right, and in the direction he was pointing, the mooring place of the Mongol warships was already a sea of fire, and the wood mixed with the heat of the burning reeds could be clearly felt even from a distance. The vanguard water sentry horses and iron harrier boats that broke through to the front did not even dare to launch a water assault operation against the Mongol army according to the advance plan, because the Mongolian ships were on fire everywhere, and the slightest approach was likely to burn themselves, so they could only spread out the water sentry horses and boats in separate ways, and shoot arrows and arrows at the Mongolian fishing boats at a safe distance. In fact, even if they had fired, most of the fishing boats that the Mongols had looted would no longer be able to survive. The so-called naval battle is nothing more than a living force that kills and injures some enemy troops. The Mongol army had no time to rescue the smoking fishing boats, so they stood on the shore and shot at the Song army. As the northern Han army, which is also Han Chinese, although the bow and arrow are not as sharp as the Jing'e naval army, they step on the river bank and occupy the advantage of bow shooting. But in turn, the Jing'e navy also turned the bow of the ship and bombarded the enemy's archers with the bamboo general. This trick is very powerful, the archers on the warship stand on the shaking plank, the foundation is unstable and not easy to force, the strength of the bow and arrow is not enough to compete with the arrows of the enemy archers on the shore, but the firearms are completely different, as long as they are fixed on the ship, once the effect is exactly the same as on the 6, plus the enemy army is in a hurry to assemble into a large group in order to form a dense rain of arrows, and does not care about the evacuation formation at all. Once the shells of the stone cannons hit the queue directly, they were often a blur of flesh and blood.

The black smoke rolled up the white ash after the incineration and flew into the sky, and was soon blown away by the cold northwest wind towards the southeast, and the artillery of the Song army's sailors gradually gained an advantage in the confrontation with the Mongolian archers, and the crossbowmen of the Jing'e navy also took advantage of the fire to rob, and from time to time they came out to cast cold arrows. The Mongol army was overwhelmed and slowly began to retreat towards the 6th place. At this time, the warships of the Song army worked harder to rob the fishing boats that had not yet been burned.

Yang Luo said to Zheng Yunming, who was standing at the bow of the ship watching the battle: "The general won the first battle, and after this battle, the Mongols knew the prestige of the Jing'e Navy. ”

"It's not enough!" Zheng Yunming waved the command flag in his hand: "Now you don't care about any prestige, unfold the warship, and be sure to destroy all the ships near the left side of Huilongshan!" ”

Jiang Hai only got the notice of the Jing'e Navy in the afternoon, and the Jing'e Navy sent a flying ship to bring the good news of the battle of Huilongshan, which was not necessary for Zheng Yunming to send someone to report, and Jianghai also clearly knew the fate of the Mongolian ships on the Huilongshan River, and the charred wreckage of the ships and the drowned Mongolian corpses that kept floating down from the upstream clearly announced the destruction of the Mongolian fleet in Huilongshan. In the Battle of Huilongshan, the Song army burned and plundered the Mongol warships on this section of the river, snatched back more than 300 fishing boats, and burned the rest. Annihilated more than 1,000 Mongol troops, and captured 300 horses that the Mongols had no time to withdraw. And the most crucial part is that Zheng Yunming eliminated the tools used by the Mongols to operate on the water in one fell swoop. It also completely extinguished Zhang Rou's attempt to cross the river south and invade Jiangnan.

When Zheng Yunming's victorious division met with the Jianghai Division's naval division in Huangzhou on the second day, Meng Heng was busy expelling the Mongol rangers from the territory. Zhang Rou, who learned of the defeat of Huilongshan, immediately made a judgment, and the plan to cross the river to attack the southern line of prefectures and counties has completely come to naught, not only that, but even attacking Huangzhou has become an unattainable thing. As long as the waterway cannot be blocked, the Song people will continue to bring in soldiers and food from the Yangtze River to Huangzhou, and Huangzhou will become a bottomless pit that will constantly devour the troops of the headquarters. There was no longer any point in staying in Huangzhou, and Zhang Rou decisively ordered to immediately pull out the camp and retreat to the north.

Meng Hui led thousands of soldiers and horses to track down Zhang Rou all the way, and attacked his rear army several times. Zhang Rou personally led 500 iron cavalry to block the attacks of the Song army one by one, but caused many casualties to the pursuing Song soldiers. But this kind of personal courage is no longer possible to reverse the strategic disadvantage. The activities of the Mongol army in the territory of Huangzhou came to an end.

It was not until the last Mongol cavalry was expelled from Huangzhou that Meng Hui returned to Huangzhou with his troops. At this time, Zheng Yunming and Jiang Hai had been waiting for Meng Dutong, who was guarding the Ma army, for a long time.

Zheng Yunming, who had obtained Jianghai's understanding on the breach of contract, discussed the battle situation with Jianghai and unanimously believed that now was a good opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Mongol army that had penetrated deep into Jinghu. Meng Heng's department is the most important mobile force in Jinghu. The lifting of the siege of Huangzhou meant that the Jinghu General Reserve with a total strength of 30,000 troops had been freed up and could face the Mongol plundering army in the south with a strong attitude. As for Zhang Roujun, who went north, if there were no special circumstances, their food would no longer be enough to support them to go and return to harass Huangzhou again. On the waterway of the Yangtze River, the victory in the Battle of Huilongshan boosted the morale of the Great Song naval army, and the confluence of two important river defense forces on the Yangtze River also made the Yangtze River have a powerful naval army with nearly a thousand elite warships. The best route for a counteroffensive against the Mongols was to use this powerful boat regiment to cooperate with Meng Hui's 6th Army and 6 Army to advance against the current. First consolidate the defense of Ezhou, and then remove the enemy's threat to Yingzhou.

When Meng Dutong, who was covered in iron armor, walked into the main hall of Huangzhou Zhizhou from outside, the other two all got up to greet him.

Jiang Hai and Meng Heng were old acquaintances in the army, and as soon as they met, they asked with a smile: "Puyu, if it weren't for me and Zheng Guanren to arrive in time, I'm afraid that your rank would be taken away by that Zhang Rou." ”

Meng Hui took off his helmet and replied loudly: "If Jiang Shuai doesn't come, I will fight Zhang Rou in Huangzhou for 800 rounds, and I don't believe it, let that Zhang Rou know how powerful the Great Song boy is." ”

Jiang Hai pushed Zheng Yunming in front of Meng Heng: "Even if Puyu doesn't make a move in person, let that Zhang Rou know the majesty of the Great Song Man." ”

Meng Heng smiled and patted Zheng Yunming's shoulder: "Back in the Yingzhou ship, I strongly persuaded the officials to come out and lead the troops, but I didn't expect that in just two years, the officials would grow into independent figures; It even saved me in reverse. ”

Zheng Yunming also smiled: "For me, being in the army or being an official is the same as a promotion, but it is much more difficult to get rich and noble from the edge of the knife than to sit and wait for wealth in the yamen, Meng Shuai, don't expect me to thank you." [End of chapter]
