Now not only did he blow up more than ten gunpowder warships of the Jin Army in the distance, avoiding unnecessary casualties on his own side, but also let the scheming Jin Army sailors suffer the consequences!

"In the days that followed, I will let you and others understand what the so-called iron-blooded strong Song is! What is truly invincible! Ye Yu stared at the north bank of the Yangtze River, and then said coldly, "Order the three armies to attack in an all-round way!" ”

With the sound of war drums, the flotilla carrying 60,000 forward troops quickly marched towards the opposite shore.

The gunboat is out of the way, and it is unstoppable!

During this period, Liu Meng had already ordered all defense lines to be under full martial law, knowing that the Song army was equipped with a large number of long-range attack firearms, so Liu Meng ordered thousands of trebuchets lined up to be equipped with flammable and explosive firearms, and then threw them at the oncoming warships from a long distance.

Countless fire-burning crossbow arrows of the first echelon were shot into the river, and thousands of trebuchets were operating at the same time, looking from afar as if they were falling and crossing the sky, and throwing them at the Song warships in the river with thick flames.

In the face of such a dense attack, the naval warships led by Wu Xi did not dare to approach lightly for a while, because the wooden ships could not withstand such a fierce fire attack.

So they anchored outside the range of the trebuchet, and then ordered the artillery battleships to turn sideways and line up in a horizontal formation again.

"Align the target, raise the gun!"

At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and Wu Xi stood on the forward command ship, waving different colors of order flags, directing every step of the command.

This set of instructions and adjusting the altitude and distance were all taught by Ye Yu to Wu Xi in advance, otherwise he would not have handed over this charge task to Wu Xi's command.

With the wave of Wu Xi's order flags, the cannon that terrified the Jin army once again spewed out a fire dragon!

Bang, bang, bang......

A series of incessant roars made the entire river and its banks shake in an instant, and swishing cannonballs swept over the water and scattered like an iron net to a corner of the north bank of the Yangtze River.

The cannon entered the water silently, but the rising water columns continued one after another, and they actually made waves on the calm surface of the lake.

Obviously, the soldiers of the Song army who operated the artillery were not skilled, and only sixty percent of the shells hit the river bank in one round.

These shells that fell on the bank of the river were completely blooming on the shore, especially the densely distributed trebuchets, which were inevitably blown to pieces.

The shattered fragments of wood and bamboo were shot in all directions, turning into ferocious deadly weapons, whether it was the crossbowmen of the first echelon or the soldiers commanding the trebuchets, most of them were hit by the fragments and were immediately seriously injured, and a miserable scream and muffled snort sounded one after another.

Boom, boom, boom......

In the crisp morning light, you can see countless small black dots flying out of the mast warship, drawing a parabola in the air and landing in the crowd on the shore, and then the fire flashed and exploded one after another, causing blood to splash on the shore and limbs to fly.

"Oh my God!"

Wu Yuechan, who was on the commander-in-chief ship, looked at the people on the river bank who were swallowed by the explosion, and was stunned, covering her mouth with her hands, her face was full of shock, she had never seen such a tragic scene.

In the face of the cannonballs falling from the sky, the golden soldiers on the north bank of the river did not have the slightest power to fight back, and there was no other way than to flee in all directions looking for shelter with panicked expressions.

As the coach who was sticking to Jiangbei, Liu Meng looked at the panicked crowd at this moment, and many people were affected by the explosion of cannonballs on the way to escape, and they all screamed and fell in a pool of blood.

In addition to anger, he was more shocked by this scene, he did not expect that the Jiang Defense Front that he had carefully arranged had already begun to collapse after being bombarded by several rounds of unknown firearms from the Song army.

It's not that he didn't give the order to rectify the fleeing soldiers, and even raised his saber to kill a batch, but looking at this trend of fleeing like a tide, how many people can he kill?

In order to avoid casualties, Liu Meng had to abandon the carefully arranged defensive line and lead his troops to quickly retreat three miles to the rear.

Because he had seen clearly that although the firearms of the Song army were good at long-distance projection, they also had a certain range, so in order to prevent the soldiers under his command from dying in vain under the firearms of the Song army, he had to decisively lead the army to retreat.

By the time Liu Meng's army was more than three miles from the shore, the artillery of the Song army could no longer cause damage to it.

Wu Xi saw that the Jin soldiers who were holding on to the north coast of the river began to retreat, so he also ordered the artillery ships to stop firing, but they were ready to launch another shelling at any time.

Wu Xi stepped down from the command platform and quickly came to the commander-in-chief ship to ask Ye Yu for instructions.

"The enemy army has withdrawn from the Jiangbei defense line about three miles away, and it is up to Your Majesty to decide whether to land or not!"

"Oh? Is this a retreat? Ye Yu glanced at the white belly of the fish in the east, and naturally said to himself, "It seems that the time is almost up, so let's land and advance quickly!" ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the military order was issued, thousands of ships landed on the river bank one after another. As the vanguard, 60,000 troops jumped off the big ships and began to line up on the shore.

In front of the Jin army's formation three miles away, the general of the Jin army asked: "Marshal, the enemy army has landed, taking advantage of the Song army's unstable foothold, it is an excellent opportunity to counterattack at this moment!" ”

Liu Meng shook his head, looking a little helpless, because this was indeed the best opportunity to counterattack, and it was also an excellent example of marching to win more with less.

However, this is only an example of warfare in ancient times, and how can it be a rigid command of operations, and this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in common sense, but it is obvious that today's situation cannot be treated according to common sense.

Liu Meng glanced at the huge gunboat full of oppression on the river, and pretended to be calm: "If we fight back at this moment, we will inevitably be bombarded by the opponent's 'Fire Dragon'!" It's better to wait for the enemy to attack our battle array, and we can try it while we are at ease! You quickly pick an elite and bypass ......"

Just as Liu Meng was talking to his generals in the distance, the 60,000 forward Song army completed the landing very smoothly, and then formed three large defensive phalanxes more than 100 steps from the shore.

Yu Hangkun and Wu Xi were busy arranging their troops and were not in a hurry to attack the Jin army's military formation.

At the same time, the follow-up main force of the Song army was constantly boarding ships, crossing the Yangtze River and then landing, and the river was a busy scene.

When Ye Yu's Luan drove close to the riverbank, he urged Yu Hangkun and Wu Xi to go after Liu Meng's scattered army.

The two were ordered to lead an army of 30,000 each, and pursued Liu Meng's scattered Jin army in two ways.

Liu Meng didn't take any wrong measures from afar, in fact, the most important thing he should do now was to retreat to Yangzhou City, but he also had his own concerns.

Now the entire Jiangfang more than 100,000 troops are like frightened birds, the military heart of the entire army has been wiped out, if you do not take advantage of this time the Song army is not stable and severely defeat its spirit, then the next battle is almost no suspense.

Therefore, in the face of the two Song armies rushing from the river bank, Liu Meng only quickly assembled the battle array, preparing to give the Song army a blow on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
