Chapter 593: Wolf Pack Tactics

Release the boat!

Such an order came out on dozens of Yanyun Army Huanglong Express ships in front, and the successive shouts aroused the vigilance of the Tang Army generals, but because of the collision of the giant ships in front, their vision was blocked and they couldn't see what the Yanyun Army Sailors were doing.

Releasing the boat is naturally as simple as putting the boat down. What the generals of the Tang Army Navy Division did not understand, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Yanyun Army Navy Division, it was the most simple and ordinary thing. Just like they have to eat and drink every day, they repeat this movement several times during the daily exercise, so they are extremely fast and clean.

The Huanglong Clipper of the Yanyun Army Naval Division looks a little different from the Huanglong Clipper of the Tang Army Naval Division, the difference is that it seems that the Huanglong Clipper on the side of the Yanyun Army is wider, and what is wide is not a reinforced broadside, but a small boat hanging on both sides of the ship's side, a kind of clipper that will never appear in this era.

Because of Li Xian's existence, this impossible clipper appeared.

Putting down from both sides of the Huanglong clipper are centipede clippers of different sizes from eighteen to thirty-six pulps!

The centipede clipper, narrow and pulpy, rowed on the water like a boat flying on the water, this was originally a warship that appeared in the Central Plains Empire during the Ming Dynasty, and was forced by Li Xian at this time. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, when Wang Feng served as the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Provincial Prosecutor, there were often Portuguese pirate ships attacking and harassing along the coast, and the Ming Dynasty sailors could not be defeated.

It is said that the Portuguese centipede war ship was ten zhang long, with more than 40 slots on both sides, 34 washes, and 300 people. Sharp ammunition rains down, invincible.

Later, Wang Feng suggested that the imperial court also build centipede warships, and Emperor Jiajing allowed it.

It's just that the centipede clipper of the Daimyo sailor is not that big, the small one is eighteen pulps, and the big one is only thirty or forty pulps, which is used for soldiers to land and climb close to the enemy's big ships. This kind of boat is similar to the dragon boat during the Dragon Boat Festival in later generations, its speed is like flying, although the number of soldiers loaded is limited, but it is flexible and fast, this advantage is incomparable to the big ship.

With Lai Yuan's order, hundreds of centipede clippers were put down on the dozens of Huanglong clippers in front, the big ones had 100 people per boat, and the small ones had 36 people per boat. After these centipede clippers entered the water, the sailors released the ropes and broke away from the big ship, and more than 100 centipede clippers flew into the gap in the big ship. The Huanglong Clipper behind the Tang Army was blocked and couldn't pass at all, but the Centipede Clipper could pass!

Han Kuishan, who was warlike by nature, actually took off his cotton armor and leather armor in the cold winter, wore only a single coat, and stood on the bow of the ship with a horizontal knife in his hand, loudly urging the soldiers to speed up. The centipede clipper he was in got through the gap between the two colliding five-toothed ships, and then stopped sideways on the side of a Tang warship.

"Hook the rope!"

Han Kuishan shouted, and then the soldiers of the Yanyun Army put down the oars in their hands, stood up and threw the rope with iron claws up, the iron claws buckled the side of the Tang Army's big ship, Han Kuishan took the lead in grabbing a rope, and began to climb up with a horizontal knife in his mouth, his movements were as vigorous and fast as a spirit ape, and he climbed up very quickly with his feet on the hull of the boat, and dozens of Yanyun saber hands also bit the horizontal knife in their mouths and climbed up along the rope.

"Cut the ropes! Cut the ropes! ”

Li Changnian, the other general on the Tang Army's Huanglong Clipper, hurriedly ordered, and then many soldiers of the Tang Army's sailors rushed to the side of the ship, some shot down with a hard bow, and some used horizontal knives to chop down and cut the ropes. As the rope broke, many soldiers of the Yanyun Army fell into the water, and after a short time, they were swept away by the turbulent river and never disappeared again.

Han Kuishan had already climbed to the side of the ship and was about to get on the boat, when a Tang soldier with a crossbow shouted and pulled the bangle on him. The first two crossbow arrows were shot into the air, and the third crossbow arrow flew past Han Kuishan's face, taking half of his ears away, and blood gushed out in an instant, dyeing half of Han Kuishan's face red. Han Kuishan was stunned, and the fourth crossbow arrow was nailed into his shoulder socket with a pop, and his body fell down violently as soon as he let go of his hand.

The Tang soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly ran to the side of the boat, trying to shoot the other Yanyun soldiers down. At the moment when he approached the side of the ship, a hand suddenly reached out from below and grabbed him by the collar, and he subconsciously leaned back, but helped the man climb up the side of the ship.

Han Kuishan, who was soaked in blood with half of his body, smiled and stabbed into the heart of the Tang Army soldier.

He beckoned, and more than two dozen Yanyun soldiers who had climbed onto the big boat rushed forward with him. A Huanglong clipper can carry two or three hundred soldiers, and there are only about two dozen of his men who have no fear. It seems that those Tang soldiers are as weak as lambs in his eyes, and he is a vicious wolf who can easily bite the lamb to death.

In addition to the sailors, more than a hundred soldiers of the Don Army drew their swords one after another to meet them.

"The one who killed the fuck is bleeding like a river!"

Han Kuishan roared and swung his sword forward.

……

……

"Yanyun Water Master!"

Han Kuishan looked at the wound on his left shoulder that had been cut out, smiled hideously and stabbed the enemy to death before shouting. The remaining seven or eight Yanyun Army soldiers who followed closely behind him immediately let out a loud shout: "Forward!" ”

Forward!

How familiar this slogan used to be!

Tang Jun Bei Li Changnian gritted his teeth, drew his knife and rushed towards Han Kuishan with his own soldiers. The Tang Army, which was one hundred and ten people, couldn't stop the madmen of the twenty or so Yan Yun Army, which gave rise to an extremely strong sense of shame in his heart. He was born in the Great Sui Water Division, not a farmer from the Green Forest Road, and he had also seen several battles in which the official army exterminated the rebels, and five hundred soldiers could chase after five or six thousand rebels, and a thousand soldiers could slaughter more than 30,000 rebels.

That feeling made Li Changnian intoxicated, and he felt that it was the pride of a soldier.

But now, he found that the soldiers under his command were as weak as those peasant rebels at the beginning, and more than 100 people could not stop more than 20 people, and the rebels who were slaughtered by him were afraid that before they died, he was afraid that there was such a deep sense of shame in his heart. He heard that in the tenth year of the Great Cause, Qin Shubao, the governor of Qi County, led 300 cavalry to gallop hundreds of miles to rescue the siege of Beihai County, and killed the battalion of 100,000 rebels with 300 cavalry. The Qi County soldiers, who added up to less than 1,000 people, actually killed more than 100,000 rebels.

Sun Sanhuan, the deputy marshal of the rebels, had already escaped, but because the sense of shame was too strong, he finally chose to commit suicide.

Now Li Changnian has no intention of committing suicide, he just wants to cut off the head of the general of the Yanyun Army with a knife.

He also had hundreds of soldiers under his command, and at least two hundred men to fight with, in addition to the sailors. And the general of Yan Yunjun only has seven or eight people under him, and there is no possibility of survival no matter what. Just when Li Changnian swung his knife to kill him, the sound of banging on the side of the boat behind Han Kuishan came, and dozens of iron claws were firmly buckled on the side of the ship, and obviously there was Yan Yunjun's centipede clipper below to stop.

Li Changnian's face changed, and he pointed and shouted: "Divide a team of people to go over, and never allow Yanyun thieves to come on the boat again!" ”

Just as he was shouting, suddenly the soldiers behind him let out an exclamation: "The general is not good!" Someone from behind is also on board! ”

Li Changnian immediately looked back, only to see that there were already many Yanyun Army soldiers with horizontal knives on the side of the boat on the other side, and his face immediately became extremely ugly, and the horror in his heart became more and more intense. Yan Yunjun's fast ships were long and fast, and they could get into almost a gap, while the Tang Army's warships were already in formation, and it was extremely difficult to turn them again, so they had to move the ships in turn. The big ship in front was overturned, the ship channel was blocked, and the Tang warships could not make up for the reinforcements.

In fact, the Tang Army also had small boats, but none of the generals from the Great Sui Navy Division liked to fight with small boats. When the Great Sui Dynasty destroyed Nan Chen, they beat the Nan Chen Naval Division, known as the first in the world, to the point of embarrassment, relying on the five-tooth big boat, so they all had a little contempt for the small boat tactics.

Although Li Xian hardly interfered in the training of sailors, as a person with more experience than people of this era, he understood the truth that he was not invincible. Li Xian was very interested in the history of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, so he also admired the wolf pack tactics of the Ming Dynasty sailors. It's just that after Zheng He, the Ming Dynasty despised the navy, so much so that it was harassed by the Japanese and suffered heavy losses. Li Xian has always regretted that he felt sorry for the treasure ships of Zheng He who were stranded on the beach and finally turned into rotten wood.

As a modern person, Li Xian is well aware of the meaning of going overseas. So he started to build a sailor from the beginning of the establishment of Yanyun Village, after all, in his previous life, the country had no advantage in the ocean, this regret, Li Xian will not give up since he has the opportunity to make up for it.

As more and more soldiers of the Yanyun Army sailors overturned on the big boat, Li Changnian's face became more and more ugly.

The size of the centipede clipper is like a wolf and an elephant compared to the Yellow Dragon clipper.

When the wolf population reaches a certain level, it is not impossible to bite and kill an elephant.

Four or five centipede clippers stopped on both sides of this Huanglong clipper, and more than two hundred people climbed up, and the advantage of the Tang army was gradually lost, and the morale was not as good as that of the Yan Yun army, so the defeat and retreat became a matter of course. Li Changnian killed three Yanyun soldiers in a row, and beheaded two of his own subordinates, but he didn't stop the decline, when he cut the throat of a Yanyun army soldier with another knife, he raised his head and saw a hideous bloody face.

He was just stunned and panicked, and then he felt himself flying.

He felt like he was spinning and flying, and the world was spinning with it, and then he saw a headless body, with blood spurting out of his neck like a waterfall. He wasn't familiar with the back, but he was familiar with the armor on the body. It was his own body, and then there was darkness in front of him.

Han Kuishan unloaded Li Changnian's head with a knife, and led the soldiers to slaughter from the deck to the cabin, slaughtering all the Tang soldiers, and Han Kuishan, who was covered in blood, rushed to the next ship with people. What made him a little annoyed was that when he boarded the Tang Army ship, he found that most of the Tang Army soldiers on this ship had been killed, and the rest had no room to fight back, and they were forced to retreat again and again by more than a hundred Yanyun Army soldiers.

Just as he was about to turn around and disembark to look for his target, the figure of the crowd spilling a bloody path attracted his idea.

"Do you know who that general is, what a good man!"

Among the remnants of the Tang army, there was actually a general of the Yanyun Army who killed him, one person and one sword, and no one in front of him could stop him. One by one, the human head rolled to the ground, and the person was already covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell who it was.

"It's the lord's pro-soldier captain Nie Duo!"

Someone shouted at Han Kuishan: "I recognize his ring-headed knife!" Only his ring-headed knife had red tassels hanging from it. ”

After only a few words, the remaining Tang soldiers were slaughtered. Han Kuishan looked at the guy who was even bloodier than himself and picked the corners of his mouth, and a feeling of disbelief arose in his heart. Nie Duo, who was bleeding down his clothes, walked past him with a huge ring-headed knife, and said expressionlessly, "You're late." ”

Han Kuishan turned around and left, snorting and said, "See you on the next boat!" ”
