Someone else said: "Qin Shi Huang killed Fang Shi because Fang Shi deceived him, and Emperor Wu of Han killed his family because Li Ling surrendered. The bearing of the Great Khan can only be compared to the Holy Monarch of Yao Shun. ”

Most of the allusions they said, Meng Ge did not know, although he also loved culture and was inclusive, but his knowledge of Han was far inferior to that of his younger brother Kublai Khan, who liked Sinology, and he was keen on the Christian culture from Kiev and the Islamic culture that was slowly spreading in Central Asia, and he did not know much about Han allusions. All he was worried about was how to break through Ezhou as soon as possible, so that he could free up his hands to deal with Zheng Yunming, who had already won the first game.

Perhaps, with a trump card in hand, it's time to make a move.

On the other hand, Zheng Yunming is having a headache about what to do with Gundam. It stands to reason that Gouda turned his back on the imperial court and rebelled against the country, and should be severely punished, but Gouda took the initiative to surrender and came back, and also brought a lot of information from the Mongolian army. But in recent years, the country's strength has increased, and there is gradually less tolerance for rebel generals, first, a bow of the Zhejiang naval division of the Song Dynasty was reported for smuggling goods, and resolutely took one of his elite high-sea gunboats to the north to Mongolia, and later because of a competition with a local nobleman for prostitutes, he accidentally killed the Mongolian nobleman, and fled to the Southern Dynasty again, but as soon as his ship docked, he was immediately arrested by the government, and finally sentenced to a sentence of 3,000 li.

But Zheng Yunming's basic principle is not to make trouble. Although a person like Gundam has no backbone, and if he is not punished, he will inevitably set a vicious example for the world, but he will go and return, and he can also bring back some internal intelligence in the north, plus the Xiangyang Change, Lu Wenhuan is the leader, he is just coercing, dealing with his affairs should be handed over to the imperial court to do, Zheng Yunming's top priority is to fight against the Hu army that is close at hand.

When Gundam ** was brought into the Chinese army's tent with his upper body and thorn on his back, Zheng Yunming almost laughed out loud, this person also knew that he had committed a mortal crime, and the Southern Dynasty would never spare him, so he learned the methods of the ancients to bear the guilt of Jing please. I only heard Gao Gao fall to the ground and gritted his teeth and said: "Lu Wenhuan's dog thieves have mastered most of the army in Xiangyang, and they have held the villain hostage, and the villain has been under house arrest by him in the barracks, and he has to be false and wronged, only until this guy was killed by Wei Dutong, and the camp was chaotic, and the villain was able to"

"That's it," Zheng Yunming waved his hand to stop his crying, and said with a straight face: "It is difficult to wash away your sins and pour the water of the Yellow River, but if you are corrected in time, I am willing to ask for forgiveness for you in front of the Son of Heaven." Let me ask you, tell you the truth, who is in charge of the naval army in the Mongol army now, how many ships are capable of fighting in the army, and how many tortoiseshell ships are there? ”

Gundam leaned to the ground, did not dare to raise his head, and replied tremblingly: "The titular commander of the naval army is still the artillery commander and marshal of the naval army, Zhang Zhongren, but in fact, the naval army is commanded by Shi Tianze, and the villain saw in the Mongolian camp that new ships came from the Han River every day, plus the fishing boats taken from all over the country, there were about three or four thousand ships that could be used, of which there were more than a thousand warships that could be used in a war, and there were forty-two tortoiseshell boats, because the guerrilla troops sent by the official army were active in Henan, Eight ships were dispatched to sweep the upper reaches of the Han River. Now there are thirty-four ships in the naval barracks. ”

The general situation is similar to Zheng Yunming's estimate, Zheng Yunming waved his hand to let Gundam retreat, and his own soldiers put Gundam under house arrest and waited for the imperial decree. And what Zheng Yunming has to do is far more important than dealing with a rebel general.

He beckoned to the generals standing on either side, and asked them to gather around the table in front of them, on which were placed a large-scale map of the Jingxiang terrain and waterways, with small wooden blocks of red lacquer, each representing a hundred Song warships, and small wooden blocks of black lacquer, each representing a hundred Mongolian warships, and to the east of Hanyang, there were seven mahogany blocks, but in the rivers near Ezhou, Jiangling and Yingzhou, thirty or forty black wooden blocks were laid out,

If you talk about the strength of the army, it is natural that the enemy is outnumbered, this Zheng Yunming is not afraid, he has fought more than one battle when the enemy is outnumbered. But at the moment, Peng Man and Zhang Weixiao were not there, and even Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Hunan Army's naval division, was also transferred to Nanyang. The commander of the highest naval division he can rely on is Lu Wende, and the most powerful naval army general is Yu Jue, who was originally supposed to be Xia Gui's, but this famous general known as Xia Qi'er in the army suddenly fell ill and had to return to Huaidong to recuperate.

In terms of his own heart, Zheng Yunming trusted Xia Gui more than Yu Jue, although in another plane, Xia Gui ended up as a traitor, and Yu Jue was recorded in history as a loyal and good man of the imperial court. But Zheng Yunming never judged the current characters by the deeds of another plane, in the present, Yu Jue is a commander with a sharp personality and strict management of the army, while Xia Gui is a first-class general who can win the hearts of the people, is very smooth to the bottom and the top, but there is no lack of death fighting spirit at critical moments. Otherwise, Xia Gui would not have become one of Jia Nidao's core military attaché teams with only two or three people. But Xia Gui's biggest problem is that he looks at people talking, Jia Rudao will go to work, he will naturally hang up the exemption card, and it will never be possible to fight for Zheng Yunming. The only support that Zheng Yunming can win is the dead-eyed Yu Jue.

"Qin Tianjian Qiu Guan is reporting with the army counselor, tomorrow the storm is calm, the weather is fine, it is a good time to use soldiers, now the enemy is proud and conceited, thinking that there is no opponent on the river, once our army challenges with a small boat, the other party will definitely attack with all its strength, in order to smash the last bit of water power in the Great Song Dynasty for the purpose of pouring out, and the key to our army's victory lies in whether the sun can smash the enemy's tortoiseshell ship, although the enemy navy is numerous, only the tortoiseshell ship is an opponent that we are difficult to deal with, as long as the tortoiseshell ship is broken, The rest of the warships are like dragons without a leader, and they are as easy as a finger. The success or failure of all this lies in your Huaidong Water Army. ”

Zheng Yunming raised his voice a little higher, showing the solemn posture that the Governor's Mansion should have: "The rise and fall of the country is all on the two Huai Jian'er!" For the sake of our ancestors and society, please show your last courage to break the tortoiseshell ship! ”

Yu Jue's resolute face seemed to be on the battlefield, and he replied in a hoarse voice: "There is a seven-foot body of Yu Mou, blocking millions of Mongolian soldiers!" ”

"Good!" Zheng Yunming turned his head and asked, "General Lu, what do you say?" ”

Lu Wende has nothing to lose today, he has only one purpose in his current life, which is to use his military exploits to erase the shame of his brother's betrayal to his ancestors, he said without hesitation: "Even if Lu Mou is full of liver and brain, he must break the tortoiseshell boat to show Xianggong!" ”

"I'm not worried about the martial arts of the Yang Shooting Athlete," Zheng Yunming said: "I have also tested your tactics for breaking the tortoiseshell ship, as long as you can deal with it calmly tomorrow and fight hard, the tortoiseshell ship is just an empty hard-shelled turtle." ”

He stretched out his hand at the map: "Tomorrow will be a glorious day that will forever be recorded in history!" ”

For the Mongolian army, seeing the Song Dynasty sailors in a big move, there is no longer the kind of trembling and fighting in previous years, only seeking self-protection and not daring to seek victory, when seeing the Song Dynasty warships fluttering red flags appear on the water antenna, the water army camp in the Hu Ji Chang Song, the gate of the village opened, with the tortoiseshell ship as the head, hundreds of elite warships all poured out, according to the training methods on weekdays, the squadron dragged back, the two wings slightly forward, forming a half-moon array. This was a formation that the Mongol navy repeatedly practiced before the war, in order to use it in a decisive battle with the Song Dynasty navy. Its essence is that during the battle, the main force of the Song Dynasty naval division was dragged by the central warship, and the tortoiseshell boat was used as the vanguard of the left and right flanks, and the elite oar-boat team was led to break through to the rear of the Song army's fleet in one fell swoop, forming a comprehensive encirclement, and finally completely annihilating the main force of the Song Dynasty's naval army in one fell swoop, and the Mongolian army was unimpeded on the Yangtze River and could take Lin'an directly.

When the Mongol army finished arranging, it was found that the Song army ship formation on the opposite side was very unusual. It is not the usual pattern of giant ship guns opening the way, followed by board boats and oars. Instead, thirty old-fashioned iron harrier ships were used as the vanguard, with the oar-boat battle team as the mainstay, and the wings were equipped with low warships, and the sailors roared and rushed upstream together.

"They're jumping off the wall in a hurry!" Shi Tianze was excited, and even the proverb in the market came out: "Can you break through the tortoiseshell spearhead with a small boat?" They also see that our army is too small! Sons, beat the drums and march forward, and send all these Southern Dynasty soldiers who drive small boats to the river to meet the Dragon King! ”

The drums of war rang out, the vibrating river water also set off a slight wave, the two naval armies got closer and closer, and the general battle to determine the ownership of the Yangtze River broke out in an all-round way.

The first battle was fought on both flanks, with the Mongol tortoiseshell boats on the left and right flanks first firing guns and artillery to strike a wave at the Song boats, and then rowing their oars and rushing forward in accordance with the usual tactics. The four-car and six-car vehicles and ships leading the way in front retreated at full speed, seemingly holding the idea of not wanting to fight hand-to-hand with the tortoiseshell ship, after all, the shiny collision angle on the bow of the tortoiseshell ship was daunting, and the Dongting gunboat was bound to be the loser as a result of the collision tactical battle between the two sides.

The retreat of the Song Dynasty naval army on the left and right flanks isolated the central fleet, and the Chinese fleet of the Mongol army immediately used firearms and bows and arrows as weapons to engage the central fleet of the Song army.

The tortoiseshell ship led the warships on both wings, like two sharp knives, not only broke through to the two wings of the central fleet of the Song army, but also prepared to make a detour behind it to completely encircle the two hundred warships in the center. At this moment, it looks like the Mongol army is about to usher in the biggest victory since the southern expedition...
