Chapter 694: Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years
The warships of the two sides were entangled in a big battle on the river, and from time to time the warships of the two sides collided violently with each other.
The soldiers on both sides roared and jumped into each other's boats to fight, their eyes blood-red, and the soldiers on both sides who fell into the water were also fighting to the death.
In an instant, the entire river was in a sea of fire, and the warships of both sides were groaning and slowly sinking into the water.
The vanguard sailors under the command of Wu Xi became more and more frenzied, flying towards the enemy army with artillery fire, guns and arrows, and even more so, relying on their own weight to directly sink the enemy ships! ~
The frenzied Song army carried an unrivaled artillery attack, which had made the Jin army's 10,000-strong water division gradually lose its ability to resist!
And at this moment, Liu Meng, who was far away in the north of the river, looked at the fire on the river and the deafening roar, he knew that this time Wanyan Tuo and Nahedoye would definitely not be able to come back.
"Report! Our army's naval division was besieged by the Song Legion, and the commander was asked to decide! ”
"Can you find out what kind of firearms the Song army used?"
"I don't know!"
"Then why don't you go to the detective!?"
"Yes!"
Looking at the light of the fire that had already reflected half of the sky, and the wailing screams of the warship burning the director, it was carried far away along the swirling north wind.
For the first time, Liu Meng hesitated, wondering whether he should send troops to rescue the trapped sailors.
And just when Liu Meng was entangled in whether to take the risk of sending troops to rescue Yan Tuo, there was no trace of the Jin Soldiers and Sailors on the river, because after just half an hour of fighting, Wan Yan Tuo and Nahedoye were all buried in the heart of the river.
Ye Yu, who was sitting on the main command ship, looked at the smoke in the distance, but he was extremely calm, because this kind of scene was far from achieving the blasting effect in the TV series in later generations.
But there is no way, after all, he is not a real all-rounder, and he can't use that science to purify high-purity explosives, so being able to make semi-finished explosives and simple red-coated cannons is already his limit.
This kind of scene seems to be nothing in the eyes of Ye Yu's future generations, but it is a spiritual shock to everyone at the moment.
Otherwise, Liu Meng would not have hesitated to look at his nephew and more than 10,000 soldiers buried in Jiang Xin, because even he Liu Meng was terrified of the unknown colossal deterrence.
Yu Hangkun, who was beside Ye Yu, held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, pointed forward with one hand and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the power of this new type of firearm is so amazing!" ”
"Yes, isn't this to make up for the lack of soldiers under your command? The first cannon of this new type of artillery is deployed in the army of your Jiangfang army......" Ye Yu's lukewarm words were equivalent to directly pouring cold water on Yu Hangkun's body.
Yu Hangkun hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a look of shame: "The minister has no way to lead the army, and the minister is guilty!" ”
"Will a sentence of guilt solve the problem?" Ye Yu glanced at it coldly, and then said impatiently, "A group of sour and rotten courtiers in the court have been prevaricating the king with this kind of remark all day long. This kind of rhetoric sounds to me as a pretext for shirking responsibility! ”
"Minister......
"Let's get flat!"
"Thank you!"
Yu Hangkun got up and stood aside, secretly wiping a cold sweat, since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have different respects and humilities, and the current majesty in front of him is no longer the former An Le Hou, let alone His Royal Highness the King of Qin, so this invisible pressure makes him very restrained.
In today's army of the Great Song Dynasty, Yu Hangkun concedes that the army under his command is not weak, otherwise he would not have succeeded in dragging the iron hooves of the Jin State and preventing the arrogant intention of the Jin State from falling to the Southern Song Dynasty.
But Ye Yu compared Wu Ting's Wu Jiajun with Gu Xifeng's sailor who destroyed Goryeo, and Yu Hangkun suddenly lost the slightest temper!
Wu Jiajun has always held the southwest border pass, and its combat power has always been strong, and because he participated in the war to pacify Western Xia with Ye Yu, it has become famous all over the world since then.
Gu Xifeng's 50,000 sailors don't need to be mentioned, they directly wiped out the Goryeo Kingdom quickly with lightning tactics, this kind of record of destroying a country with fewer victories, he Yu Hangkun thought that he didn't have that certainty.
"Your Majesty, there is a doubt in the minister's heart......"
"You want to ask, how did I guess that the advance warship of the Golden Soldiers was boring?"
"Exactly!"
"It's actually useless to read too many military books, if you have time, General Yu should take a look at the history book "Three Kingdoms", and he will definitely benefit a lot at that time, hehe......" Ye Yu didn't answer Yu Hangkun's question directly, but the hint was tactful.
Yu Hangkun has a deep family history, so he also knows the history of literature and history, and after Ye Yu's reminder, he suddenly understood what Ye Yu meant.
As a result, in his heart Yu Hangkun, he deeply admired the majesty in front of him!
When Ye Yu was in the stone tomb of Zhongnan Mountain, he actually read a lot of military books and strategies, and Ye Yu has not slackened off in the past few years, and has been studying the military books and battle strategies and formations left by Wang Chongyang.
Although there were not many practical ones in the end, Ye Yu realized that the wisdom of the ancients was superb, which was far from being inherited by him, the first genius of the Great Song Dynasty.
And the more he studied to the end, Ye Yu gradually understood the four-character mantra written with his fingers on the bookshelf of the stone tomb - the art of war is impossible!
So now he is no longer confined to those dogmatic frameworks of the art of war, in his Ye Yu's heart is nothing more than four words - cautious, people's hearts!
Although the night was hazy, he Ye Yu could feel the north wind blowing in his face, and the environment of this occasion reminded him of the Battle of Chibi back then, as well as many water battles that defeated the enemy army with the help of wind and fire.
The so-called caution is a 10,000-year-old ship, so this made Ye Yu cautious.
Moreover, the appearance of Wanyan Tuo's water division is very unreasonable, because the people stationed along the Jiangbei line are not mediocre people, but Liu Meng, the famous Anguo Gong of Jinguo.
For this veteran who has been in battle for a long time, he will not know the lethality of the Song army's grenade to the wooden warship, so in order to make the Song army's firearms lose their lethality, Liu Meng will not be able to fight with the Song army on the river, which is a kind of speculation about the 'human heart'.
In other words, the sudden appearance of this naval division, excluding other unrelated military possibilities, is either a temptation of the enemy army, or there is a mystery hidden in it.
Originally, more than ten warships equipped with artillery of the Song army were to wait for the approaching shore of the north of the river to give a surprise bombardment to the Jin soldiers who were strictly guarding the riverbank.
And now in the face of this uncertaintie, as well as Ye Yu's own cautious psychology, so in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he had to order the use of new artillery to bombard at a distance in advance.
As it turned out, his cautious scruples were right!
The north wind howls in the severe winter, and the cold wind on the river from north to south pushes the Jin army sailors on the north bank.
The speed of the Jin soldiers' warships was like an arrow offline, and if the Song army did not have the slightest defense, allowing the warships filled with gunpowder to approach the headquarters fleet, even if they could react in time later, it would cause a serious strategic mistake to the headquarters of the naval division.
