Two hundred miles east of Thang Long City, at the mouth of the Red River, there is a small fishing village called Haiphong, with twenty or thirty families, who make a living from fishing on weekdays.

The sea in July is as blue as a jewel, and if it weren't for the few wisps of white clouds at the junction of the sea and the sky, it would be almost impossible to tell where the sea is and where the sky is.

Flocks of sand gulls fly on the shore, the beach is soft and white, without a trace of pollution, the clear waves constantly wash the sand, and schools of sardines swim to the shore, freely drawing unpredictable patterns with their bodies.

The shore is full of white checkered trees and trees, and the tall coconut trees are full of coconut fruits, and the scenery is so beautiful that people can't help but wonder if this is a paradise.

The once quiet fishing village suddenly became noisy today, and tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops rushed along the banks of the Red River, kicking up the dust.

Li Zhaozhong, who was in front of the team, looked at the calm sea, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was the same as Li Changjie, Li Changjie has always regarded him as one of his henchmen, he had no doubt about Li Changjie's judgment, and after receiving Li Changjie's military order, he immediately led 20,000 troops back to defense, 10,000 in Thang Long City, and 10,000 by him personally led Donglai to defend the mouth of the Red River.

Most of the men in the small fishing village were dragged to serve as soldiers, and only some old and weak women and children remained.

Li Zhaozhong didn't have the heart to pay attention to them, although there was no abnormality at sea, he didn't dare to slack off, while arranging camping, he let people set up boats on the river, began to drive those long wooden stakes into the river, and also set up sandbags on the bank, and 10,000 horses shouted trumpets. The piling of piling, the carrying of sandbags, the busyness of sandbags!

At this moment, Ruan Ba, who was in charge of the lookout and guard, suddenly saw two white sails flashing from the side of Cat Ba Island, followed by three, four, five or six pieces, and the sail shadow came with the wind, like a white cloud flying against the sea.

Ruan Ba was still counting the sails of the ship on the sea with his fingers one by one. He has always believed that as a qualified lookout, the reported data must be accurate.......

When he counted the fourth. Suddenly there was a heavy kick on the buttocks, and suddenly he rolled down the mound like a Shar Pei.

Li Zhaozhong raised his hand as a curtain and looked at it for a while. Immediately shocked, because Da Yue definitely does not have such a big ship, and there will be no foreign merchant ships to trade in Da Yue at this ghost time.

He immediately rushed down the mound and shouted: "Hurry, the enemy is coming, order the boats on the river to be equipped with more rockets, and the other boats are loaded with sulfur, fire oil and hay, quick!" Fast! Hurry up ......."

Li Zhaozhong roared loudly, and his orders were carried out one by one, and it can be said that his response method was clear and very appropriate.

Now it's too late to drive piles. They occupied the upper reaches of the Red River, and the boats were piled with flammable materials such as sulfur and grease, and the two boats were connected by iron chains, when a fire was lit and the boats were sent down the river, and the chains were stuck in the enemy's boats. Two small burning boats will get on the enemy's larger ship in order to set the enemy ship on fire.

On the big ship on the sea, Liang and his brother and his bullets have been pressed into the chamber of the gun, and then the brothers of the navy are in place under the command of General Hai Dongshan, and they are in place, sailing and supporting the rudder......

What makes Liang and Ge the most envious is those big guys operated by gunners. These six battleships were very different from the previous building ships, its side was relatively low, each bow and stern were equipped with a thick main gun, and there were two secondary guns on each side of the ship, and each gun was equipped with six sub-guns, and the cold and hideous appearance made people unforgettable at first sight.

At present, only twenty or thirty pieces of this kind of heavy and medium artillery are installed in the capital, and the other infantry armies are not equipped at all.

In the past, the navy, which was very despised at the time, took the lead in equipping these big guys, with six doors per ship, and thirty-six doors for six ships, costing more than one million.

After looking at these big guys, and then touching the "burning stick" in his hand, why didn't he teach Brother Liang and they were very envious. …,

The six warships lined up, approaching the mouth of the Red River, looking at the Vietnamese troops on the shore lined up in battle formations and rockets, Hai Dongshan's eyes were burning, and he couldn't stop licking his lips and showing an evil smile.

"Boys, the monkeys on the shore are going to shoot us with rockets, what should we do?"

"Hahaha! General, we're so scared! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, listen to my orders, adjust the angle, get closer to two miles, and bomb me with a shotgun!"

"Order!"

Brother Liang Ji, who had been paying attention to Haidongshan, was unhappy, and came up and said: "General Hai, let's discuss with you, let's get closer to a mile and then bombard, so let's give my brother of the ninth general some soup!" ”

"Think beautifully! Lao Tzu is also the first time to bud, this is the first time I can share it with you? ”

When Liang and Brother heard this, they almost ran away, their flintlock pistol had a range of just over a mile, and the ninth general of Gyeonggi had shot a lot of targets since he was equipped with a flintlock pistol, but he had never really shot anyone, and these grandsons had long been itching, just like a child who got an umbrella and looked forward to the rain every day.

Now the enemy is in front of him, but he can only watch the brothers of the navy play, and he is in a hurry, what kind of thing is this?

"General ...... Sea"

"No! If you get too close, the battleship will easily run aground, and you will be responsible for it then? ”

Brother Liang Ji had nothing to refute, turned around and shouted angrily: "Brothers, pull out our cannon too, fuck it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, in exchange for a roar of laughter from the navy, the Great Song Dynasty cast a total of three types of artillery, the navy is equipped with heavy and medium-sized, and the three that Liang and Ge brought are light artillery, and the power is far from the same, not to mention thirty-six to three, where do the brothers of the navy treat them as dishes.

Without waiting for Liang Gege to pull their light artillery, as soon as the battleship approached two miles, under the order of Haidongshan, the flagship took the lead in firing, and then the other five ships also opened fire, and there was a thunderous roar for a while, and every roar sounded, and the battleship was frustrated.

The Vietnamese troops on the shore had already been waiting for the Song warship to enter the firing range, and the rockets in the sky would take off, but the enemy was still two and a half miles, and a ball of fire suddenly appeared on the ship, and then the thunder rolled from the sea, and the sky was clear, why did the thunder start?

Many Vietnamese soldiers looked at the sky one after another, and in an instant, they saw countless small black dots in the sky whistling like flying locusts, like a hurricane sweeping across the Vietnamese army's array.

The Vietnamese troops on the shore were like fallen leaves swept by a gale, and suddenly a large area was blown away, one by one, their brains burst, their chests and abdomen opened, their hands and feet broken, and the terrible screams were all in one piece, which made people feel terrified.

Li Zhaozhong still didn't understand what was going on, the beach was already full of severed limbs and stumps, blood was flowing, and the strict Vietnamese army array was like crops washed by the torrent, in disarray, and countless Vietnamese soldiers were crying for their fathers and mothers, and wolves were rushing to the pigs.

The fire on the Song army's ship was still bubbling, and a marble whistled in, and Li Zhaozhong's own soldiers threw him to the ground, holding shields to block his body, but those finger-sized iron balls were so tyrannical that even the shields could be broken;

Li Zhaozhong was hit in one of his calves, almost broken below the calf, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he couldn't help but let out a heart-rending howl in pain.

The Song army is equipped with six guns for one artillery, and the ammunition loaded in advance in the guns is not a problem after firing a cannon, and the guns in the barrel are quickly pulled out and replaced with new ones, and they can be fired again, and it is not a problem to fire three guns per minute.

A total of 12 guns were fired on the starboard side of the six ships, and when there was no break at all, the Vietnamese troops on the shore lined up in a tight formation during the cold weapon battle, which was bombarded by the Song army with scattered bullets, and the beach was like a purgatory, which was simply miserable;

Even if they were Liang and Brother on the ship, they saw such a tragic scene for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, no matter what kind of iron army you are, it is the same as paper paste when you are bombarded like this, and when a cannon is bombarded, it is hundreds of iron beads, covering the sky, like a hurricane and waves, devastating and decaying, and unstoppable. …,

The Vietnamese army driving a small boat on the river was not having a good time, seeing the tragic scene of their accomplices on the shore, they were already frightened, and then they were bombarded by the front main gun of the Song army, where did they dare to stay on the boat, they jumped into the water one after another, but even if they entered the water, they did not necessarily survive, a cannon shot, the whistling marbles hit the surface of the water as if it was boiling, and there was scarlet blood in the water continuously.

"That's it! General Hai, don't forget, the chief manager asked us to catch as many prisoners as possible, if you continue to bombard like this, I'm afraid there won't be a single hair left. Li Shangxian on the boat was not happy with it, and went up to dissuade Hai Dongshan.

"General Li, you are the one who wants you to operate the artillery, I'm afraid you won't say that, right?" Although Hai Dongshan said a word, he still ordered to stop shooting.

There was no wharf at the mouth of the sea, and the Ninth General could only cross ashore by small boat, and the Vietnamese troops who were lucky enough not to die had already fled far away and failed to capture prisoners.

But it doesn't matter, run? Where to escape? Wait for Lao Tzu to level out the entire Jiaozhi, see where you are still fleeing!

Being bombarded like this, the 10,000 Vietnamese army was four or five, the liver and gallbladder were completely cracked, and the army could not be formed, and it was estimated that he would tremble when he saw the Song army in the future, and he did not have the courage to face the Song army again.

Li Shangxian's infantry was divided on both banks, and six battleships from Haidongshan lined up on the river, advancing along the waterway of the Red River towards Thang Long City.

The Red River Delta Plain is the most important agricultural area in Jiaozhi, there are many plains along the way, the land is fertile, the slender and horizontal, the Champong rice planted here is three crops a year, and the food supply of the Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi depends on this thousand miles of fertile fields.

Li Shangxian and the others did not encounter any decent resistance along the way, the people of Jiaozhi along the way fled, the villages they passed were empty, and some of the old and weak could not escape, so they hid in the corners and shivered.

The Song army did not embarrass them, after all, this time the Great Song Dynasty was not a pure expedition, and officials were to be sent to govern this place after conquering this place.

When the army was dispatched, Yang Yi repeatedly emphasized that no matter who commits adultery and plunder, he will be beheaded!

Although Yang Yi is still north of Langshan, the eyeliner of the Staff Pavilion is everywhere, and even senior generals like Li Shangxian are very jealous of this mysterious organization.

Therefore, not only did they strictly restrain the soldiers, but they also posted notices along the way, stating that as long as they did not resist, the Song army would regard them as the people of the Great Song Dynasty and would not invade them.

It took two days for the land and water army to advance to Thang Long City, which was built with the strength of the whole country, the city was two feet high, and there was a wide moat, but what were these to Li Shangxian and them? .
