The drizzle of Sichuan summer is still dripping and dripping, like a weave like mist, as if a thin veil has been covered with a layer of scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River, it is really foggy, rainy, and the mountains are also hazy. And under this haze, a decisive battle related to the ownership of Shu and even the rise and fall of the Han family is brewing.

On the bank of the Yangtze River, Nantuochang. Early in the morning of July 4th.

The melodious sound of the horn sounded from time to time, and there was no time to stop. This is the attacking Mongol Han army foot soldiers blowing the trumpet again to intimidate the Song army in Nantuochang. However, around Nantuochang, there is only a busy scene. Twenty 16-oared wooden boats that had just arrived from Wanzhou had already entered the port and were flooding with supplies. Relying on several natural harbors and highlands along the Yangtze River, the camp in Nantuo has been built with logs cut down from nearby forests to build a camp wall that is five or six miles long, and trenches and horse traps have been dug outside the camp wall, and of course a vacant land has been cleared. Inside the camp wall, the number of wooden forts and watchtowers is several times more than a few days ago, and more than a dozen shoddy stone machines have been built, all of which are equipped with heavy weights, which can throw dozens of pounds of stones two hundred steps away.

However, the Thunderbolt Navy is still working like crazy, on water and land, busy everywhere. When Lu Shihu and Zhang Shijie arrived, Chen Dexing was personally directing the construction. I didn't know that I hadn't slept for a few nights, and his eyes were red and swollen, so he sat on top of a pile of logs and listened to Lu Shihu convey orders.

"Qingzhi, I will take away 4,000 weak soldiers, the elite are all left, in addition, the rewards have been shipped, all of them are copper, there is no meeting, it is a full 50,000 yuan!"

Lu Shihu frowned, and couldn't help but look at Chen Dexing as he spoke. Now it's not the Northern Song Dynasty, and it's common for martial artists to disobey orders. If Chen Dexing is disobedient, he really doesn't know what to do? The order to take down Chen Dexing was not something that Lu Wenhuan could give. Lu Wenhuan was in front of Xuanfu Prime Minister Jia Nidao to make a complaint, even if Jia Rudao listened to Lu Wenhuan's words and then issued an order to relieve Chen Dexing's dispatch, it would be many days later.

By then, most of Chen Dexing had already been martyred in the country, and the eight thousand sons and daughters here would definitely be wiped out. He wanted to take over the Perak Sailor Army after Chen Dexing quit the army, but the bamboo basket was empty.

And Chen Dexing's reaction was as expected, he just waved his hand and said: "What is the difference between fighting in Fengdu and fighting in Nantuo?" The army is already in place, what else is there to move? ”

He raised his head sharply and looked at Zhang Shijie, who was burly and tall, and his face was full of meat. This name he also heard in later generations. One of the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty, and the only martial artist among the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty. However, the craft of war does not seem to be very good, at least not very well understood water warfare.

"Commander Zhang, it's better to pull your 1,500 people to Nantuo, there are tens of thousands of troops in the two combined forces, and leaning on the Yangtze River is enough to block the 100,000 soldiers of the Tartars."

Zhang Shijie looked at him in surprise, as if he couldn't figure out how this young and somewhat excessive ruler could have such confidence. That's a Tartar, a hundred thousand Tartars! Can it be blocked with 10,000 people? If things were to be so easy, would Da Song still be bullied by the Tartars like this?

Chen Dexing lightly calculated to him: "There are three victories in the battle against Nantuo, the first is that the river near Nantuo is wide and the water flow is slow, which is conducive to the performance of our naval oars. A few days ago, he won a complete victory in a battle with the Beiyu naval army, using a three-story oared ship to overturn 20 Beiyu clippers and capture hundreds of people.

The second is that the surrounding area of Nantuo has been washed by the Tartars all the way to Fuzhou I don't know how many times, the villages, towns and fortresses have been burned to the ground, the people have either died or fled, the Tartars have nowhere to catch Ding, and there are no ready-made houses to live in. These days have been rainy for days, and the weather should be very hot after the rain, and the 100,000 army and such a wild place can wait for the epidemic to break out.

Third, our army's camp has been fortified, the defense has been consolidated, and the defense of Nantuo has long had the momentum of golden soup. Although there were less than 10,000 soldiers, the terrain around Nantuo was narrow, and there were not many troops at all. This is the choke point, and as long as you choke it, you can put the Tartar in a dilemma.

In this battle, a big victory can be expected, why didn't Commander Zhang wave his army and make this immortal achievement with a certain family? ”

"Chen Gongwei, what you said, Nantuo has it, but Fengdu doesn't have it? It's better for the whole army to retreat to Fengdu, wouldn't it be more foolproof? ”

Zhang Shijie frowned and asked. According to his thoughts, Nantuo and Fengdu are not the best battlefields, and it is safer to return to Wanzhou.

Chen Dexing raised his eyes to look at Zhang Shijie and said with a smile: "Fengdu is too far away from the Fuzhou pontoon bridge, and the defense may be more stable, but it will be difficult to break the pontoon bridge to Chongqing." ”

"What? The 100,000 Tartar army is coming to the door, and you still want to break the Fuzhou pontoon bridge? Zhang Shijie's eyes widened. Chen Gongwei Mo is not playing with words, right? ”

"Is there any joke in the army?" Chen Dexing smiled, "If Commander Zhang doesn't believe it, he will stay in our army for a few days and see how I can break the enemy." When you see the courage of my Thunderbolt Army, it's not too late to bring your subordinates. ”

Zhang Shijie was stunned, the other party's words were full of confidence, and he didn't seem to be an idiot, this Chen Dexing was also famous in Lianghuai before......

"What? Don't dare? ”

"Why don't you dare?" Zhang Shijie laughed, "I'll stay and see, if Chen Gongwei really has a trick plan to kill the Tartars, I, Zhang Shijie, will obey you!" ”

"It's not okay to be dressed in a bare suit!" Chen Dexing looked at the man in front of him, who was more than ten years older than himself, and waved his hand very imposingly, "I still have to marry a brother with a different surname, sweep the north in the coming day, and drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains!" ”

"Good! That's it! Zhang Shijie laughed and agreed. However, his alliance with Chen Dexing is not as reliable as that of Qionghualou's brothers.

The former is called "subordinate to the end of the micro", which can be regarded as an ironclad -- without Chen Dexing, there would be no official status of those 20 junior brothers today. As mentioned above, the Song Dynasty still had the legacy of the scholar clan, and these brothers who were promoted by Chen Dexing to become officials were all Chen Dexing's disciples in the eyes of the world. Whoever betrays will be despised by the world.

And if Chen Dexing and Zhang Shijie worship the son, it will be the two warlords united because of interests, and the same as the old Jiang and Feng Christ in later generations, it is better than nothing, but when it is time to turn the face, it will still turn the face!

After listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Shihu's face was a little pale. Chen Dexing not only refused to give him half of the soldiers, but also fooled Zhang Shijie in a few words. Hearing this, Zhang Shijie was a little tempted, and it was very likely that he would pull the soldiers to Nantuo.

Do these two still know that they are the generals of the Great Song Dynasty? Is there still military order and military law in the eyes?

……

In the east of Fuzhou City, near the camp of the Mongolian army, the weather has cleared. Hundreds of cowardly Xue guards stood silently on a high hill, surrounded by the Mongol Great Khan and two Han generals looking at the river in front of them.

On the vast surface of the Yangtze River, warships spread out endlessly in sight, and the Mongolian flag danced in the sky.

Several, no, it should be a few strings of warships! Six wooden boats of the kind of sixteen oars of the Mongol navy were nailed together with wooden strips, not in a long line, but in two columns, turning the six small wooden boats into one large wooden boat. Doesn't look so easy to knock over!

It turned out that some of the Mongolian and Han soldiers who escaped in the water battle a few days ago still returned to Fuzhou and reported the course of the battle. After learning that the Song army's warships were good at ramming, Wang Tiange and Yang Dayuan, two Han generals, came up with such a method for a chain of ships. Pin six warships together to form one. Naturally, speed was not to be discussed - the six boats were supposed to have 96 oars, but now because one side of the boat was nailed, half of the oars were missing, and only 48 remained. But it's a lot more stable, at least it won't be knocked over with a slight bump.

"Great Khan, these serial boats can be combined into six boats when they are going downstream, and they can be re-disassembled into six boats when they are going upstream, which is the most suitable for activities on the Sichuan River."

Brother Wang Tian proudly introduced the tricks he and Yang Dayuan came up with in Mongolian, while Yang Dayuan on the side could only be a dumb person because he didn't understand Mongolian, and sighed in his heart by the way.

The younger brother Da Ji has already died, and he died under the collision of the Song Army's centipede ship (three-layer oared ship)! And he has to drive a chain boat to fight again....... can this chain boat nailed with a few wooden strips beat the centipede boat of the Song people? If not, will I follow in my brother's footsteps?
