Chapter 566: The Battle of the Ages (16)

"The Grand Governor, the last will be taught. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Yan nodded.

Suddenly, he looked stunned, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the Metropolitan Governor, you also said just now, we can cut off their food and grass, and the last general will see, with these zha bombs and thunderbolts in our hands, if we can sink their baggage boats, then we can also win." ”

The reaction was fast, but with Yu Qinglong's mind, how could he not think of this, he had already tried it, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

Yu Qinglong said: "You don't know, this Yang Xiong is also a little shrewd, he doesn't have any grain and grass at all, it is estimated that he is afraid that we will do a little work, so the grain and grass of the 600,000 army will be flattened and distributed to the 200,000 Chinese army, on every medium-sized ship, that is to say, no matter where we attack, it is impossible to cut off his grain route, unless he is defeated." ”

"I hate it, my teeth itch..."

Zhang Yan suddenly wondered, he was still puzzled just now, since Yu Qinglong had already said this method, he must have thought of it, but why didn't he do it. It turned out that it couldn't be done.

"Hehe... Don't worry, we can find another way. ”

Yu Qinglong said: "Just do as you say, let's consume their zha bombs first, and then fight a decisive battle, you go now, select thirty medium-sized ships, go straight to the enemy camp, and see how they react." Remember, when attacking the camp, shoot with strong crossbows, at least 500 strong crossbows on each boat, and use strong shooting power to prevent the enemy from boarding the ship, they can't board the ship, and they can't return fire, so they can only use zha shells. ”

"Thirty medium-sized ships, it's a gift for them..."

Zhang Yan arched his hand and said: "The last general knows, so let's do it." ”

..........

That night, Zhang Yan followed Yu Qinglong's instructions and personally selected thirty ships, totaling 15,000 soldiers, to attack Yang Xiong's warship formation.

Although it was a mortal battle to lure the enemy to use zha bombs, this force was not small, and Yu Qinglong also felt a little pain in his heart when he made this decision, which was tantamount to cutting off his arm.

The 15,000 elite naval forces were all cultivated by Yu Qinglong for many years, and they had very good experience in water combat, which was definitely not comparable to Yang Xiong's land army.

Watching the thirty medium-sized ships sail around and return, Yu Qinglong stood on the main ship of the Chinese army and looked, feeling a little reluctant...

"It's a pity, what a good soldier..."

"Governor, don't be reluctant, if you can complete the task, the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages, and besides, I think this fifteen thousand people, although compared to Yang Xiong's military formation, is nothing, but Yang Xiong wants to eliminate this force, it will take a lot of effort, hehe... Just wait and see the show. ”

Yu Qinglong: ".... ”

Zhang Yan said: "If the Metropolitan Governor is really reluctant, we might as well push the boat down the river again, so that Yang Xiong can suffer another small loss, and it will be regarded as the death of the brothers." There is no waste. ”

"What do you mean?"

Yu Qinglong turned around and looked at Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Metropolitan Governor, please think about it, my thirty warships raided, Yang Xiong must think that we are going to war with him, so we will definitely go all out and transfer the rear army to reinforcements, because only the rear army is safe, and at the same time, he will also neglect the defense of the rear army, if we can have a surprise army to detour behind them and catch him off guard, then..." ”

"That's a good idea..."

Yu Qinglong pondered carefully, and said: "Okay, it's decided, I'll give you another thirty medium-sized warships, 30,000 sailors, equipped with all elite weapons, detour back behind them from the flanks, you set off now, it is estimated that you will arrive at dawn, and when the time comes, you will be caught off guard, but you have to remember, you can't fight hard with the enemy, retreat if you can't fight, and stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood." ”

Unexpectedly, Yu Qinglong immediately adopted his suggestion, Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Okay, the last general will go in person, and Yang Xiong will definitely suffer a big loss." ”

With that, Zhang Yan left quickly and went to transfer troops.

After Zhang Yan left, Yu Qinglong kept standing on the deck, paying attention to the battle ahead.

The warship has been advancing, but its speed has slowed down, perhaps to cooperate with Yu Qinglong to observe the battle situation.

Time is ticking by...

The thirty ships sent earlier had already arrived at the front camp of Yang Xiong's army; Yang Xiong's front battalion was all medium-sized ships, not only carrying a thousand soldiers, mainly archers, sword and shield men, but also a whole ship of pikemen.

In total, the forward battalion had more than two hundred medium-sized ships, all infantry, intended for siege use, totaling two hundred thousand; And when it came to the middle army and the rear army, it was the cavalry, equipment, etc. that were carried.

Thirty ships attacked the front camp, completely out of the intention of death, and the first three, side by side, when the distance was still five hundred zhang, all lowered the masts on the top of the ships, and crashed into the ships in front.

The so-called mast is the pole that hangs the sail when the sail is raised, which is very large and extremely hard.

After lowering the mast and moving forward quickly, the three ships accurately crashed into the front of the three enemy ships, that is, below deck.

Suddenly, the enemy's three warships all lost their mobility, and countless river water poured into the cabin, although the enemy's warships could not sink to the bottom of the river immediately, but the warships absolutely lost their combat effectiveness and could not move forward, and after a long time, if the river water in the warships could not be discharged, due to the increased weight, they would definitely sink into the Yangtze River.

"Kill, shoot! Kill it! ”

On the warship, a leading captain burst into applause, pointed his sword forward, and in an instant, all thirty warships attacked, and all the soldiers went to the deck and shot at the enemy ships on both sides and in front.

None of the arrows were covered with a thick cotton cloth, and they were stained with oil, which was lit before they were shot, and then shot.

Rockets are all over the sky, like stars, like rain...

Puff puff...

"Ahh My hand. ”

"Ahh

.....

There were screams, the ships on both sides were on fire, and there was chaos...

However, Yu Qinglong's warships did not pay attention to these fires at all, and after three consecutive rounds of attacks, the road ahead had been opened, a gap had been opened in the enemy's formation, and at the same time, thirty warships advanced again...

Yang Xiong was in the middle army, and he was sleeping on the couch.

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the cabin, and Sun Wenyang and Ren Yang walked in quickly.

"What's going on, so panicked?"

Yang Xiong rolled over, looked at the two and asked.

As Yang Xiong got up, Sun Wenyang stepped forward and said, "Lord Yu, Yu Qinglong is back to kill." ”

Ren Yang stood aside, looking anxious. (To be continued.) )
