The sound of the strings of the crossbow machine vibrating violently seemed to bring the air to vibrate violently.

The strong crossbows used by these Bohai strong crossbowmen are all refined by Qianliao. The Liao people established the country with strong troops, although the biggest battle was still thousands of iron horses. But the greatest ability of the Song army, how can the Liao people not learn from it.

Although the crossbow machine prepared by the Liao people is far inferior to that of the Great Song Dynasty, tens of thousands of crossbows can be prepared every year because of its strong production capacity. But over time, the number is still huge.

The Jurchen Iron rode horses to fight, and always felt that these slow crossbow machines were troublesome. And the Jurchen auxiliary army is also used to using various angles and bows. However, the strong crossbowmen of the Bohai Sea have been fighting with crossbows for many years, and after the fall of the former Liao, they inherited these refined ordnance. Before the Eastern Route Army went south, these Bohai naval horses underwent a long period of training. At this moment, shooting in formation, the power that can be exerted for a while is comparable to the more elite infantry archers in the Song army!

The short arrows of wooden feathers fired by the crossbow machine are extremely powerful because they are wound in stirrups. and more than a bow and arrow. However, because of its light weight and low storage speed, although the range is longer, the penetration power of the distance above seventy or eighty paces is greatly reduced. But now the Song army's boats are only fifty paces away from the Bohai strong crossbowmen on the river bank, which is the distance at which the arrows can exert the greatest destructive power, and within this range, these whistling arrows can penetrate even the iron armor!

Hundreds of arrows shot out with Yang Zhong's order, roaring and rushing towards the Song army's boat that rushed to the front, and then the auxiliary army behind him handed over a new crossbow with good strings, and then another round of fire!

Li Jun stood on the boat, and immediately found hundreds of crossbow machines obliquely raised. Point to the middle of the river. It was not as good as Li Jun to order everyone to be vigilant. The sound of dense tearing through the air whistled and resounded. Hundreds of arrows have already been fired. Suddenly, on the three-layer cooked cowhide hanging on the bow of the ship, holes suddenly opened. And the oarsmen who were sitting or standing on both sides of the ship, suddenly someone screamed in pain and fell to the sky, and fell heavily on the board, and blood suddenly gushed out, staining the board red in an instant!

Several arrows also passed by Li Jun's ears with the sound of the wind, and one of them had lost its strength after penetrating the cowhide, and fell softly. was copied by Li Junyi in his hands. Looking back, the sergeants on the ship had long been accustomed to such a scene of fighting, and when they were suddenly killed, someone immediately went to treat the wounded, and those shooters also quickly lowered their bodies and quickened the winding speed. The sergeants who operated the bed crossbow even took out the strength of the milk string, and no one panicked.

It can be seen that more than a dozen sergeant oarsmen suddenly fell on the ship, and the sound of painful moans suddenly sounded. After all, those oarsmen were conscripted boatmen, and they were able to unilaterally slaughter the Tartars. The oarsmen were so demoralized that they rowed the boat almost out of the water. At this time, when they saw their brothers fall in front of them, and blood splattered, many people exclaimed, and they threw away the wood pulp and used their hands and feet to climb under the cabin. Without the control of these oarsmen, the tug-and-tow boat that was going upriver suddenly slowed down, and under the impetus of the current, it slowly hit horizontally, and it was about to lose control!

Li Jun looked back quickly, on the riverbank, those Tartar crossbowmen wearing pointed fur hats and pheasant feathers on their heads, at this time shot two pre-wound crossbows, and they all flashed quickly behind the side cards, not waiting for the results, not cheering and shouting, not doing anything superfluous, just quickly winding again. And the Tartar tribe military horses in the east, who were still suffering blows and heavy casualties, saw that a Song army boat was finally shot horizontally, but they broke out into a huge cheer and roar!

These Nanren boats are not monsters that cannot be harmed, and they have also been hit after all!

After taking a look, Li Jun knew that the crossbowman brigade unfolding on the shore at this moment was a difficult opponent to deal with. He jerked out his dagger at his waist, turned around and rushed back, raising the hilt of his sword and slamming it into an oarsman who had rushed to the deck to hide under the cabin. The hilt of the sword fell, and the oarsman's head was bleeding!

Li Jun grabbed the placket of his clothes, and his eyes were like fire, almost burning the oarsman.

"Straight thief, get out of here! If you dare to leave without permission, I will stab you in a transparent hole! Take out the strength of breastfeeding, rush to the fucking past early, and hit the bird barrage water city! ”

While roaring, Li Jun pushed the oarsman back and fell heavily on the side of the boat. The sergeants on board also moved their hands and pushed back the oarsmen who had escaped. The sergeants who were ready to fight hand-to-hand battles unfurled their rattan cards and shielded them from themselves.

"The faster you rush, the safer you are, cross here, and before the Tartars shoot you, the commander will cut you first! With our protection, death is also the first death of our soldiers! ”

Under the protection of these sergeants, they have drawn their bright blades in their hands. These oarsmen can only have one heart.

Straight lady thief, I have long known that the reward of ten yuan per person before leaving is not easy to take! We are a life, these soldiers are also a life, and no one is worth much more than anyone. They can fight, and we can only fight!

A 40-year-old paddler, with a face full of traces of his life on the water and tanned skin, sat down silently, continued to play the oars, and shouted loudly.

"Sit down, oars! Hit the hull of the ship and row it desperately! Helping the military master here is helping us who live in Hebei! ”

At this time, Li Jun had already rushed to the port side. The tail of the towing boat is wide and square, higher than the bow, and the rudder position is also covered by cooked cowhide hangings. A small half of the crossbow arrows issued by the Bohai crossbowmen are specially greeted here.

The cooked cowhide hanging here is full of holes, and the river breeze only pours in. The helmsman had been shot like a hedgehog, and he had long since lost his breath, leaning on the tail rudder and bleeding profusely. Li Jun's last step was simply flying over, gently lowering the body, firmly grasping the tiller, and pulling the rudder with both arms.

As soon as the bow of the boat was upright, the oarsmen were already roaring loudly and striking the oars hard. The Song Jun boat, which had paused for a while, roared again and crashed into the waves on the bow of the boat, and continued to rush in the direction of Yixian County!

The bed crossbow on the side of the ship was wound, the mallet smashed the teeth, and the huge arrows like iron spears flew out. Suddenly it was a two-sided side card in the arrow. The heavy side cards shattered. Sawdust flew all over the sky, and the iron spears and arrows flew sideways, sweeping the head of a Bohai crossbowman, and under the huge momentum, half of the Bohai crossbowman's head was suddenly shattered, and the corpse rolled straight down, falling heavily into the water!

Li Jun's boat regained its speed again. Flying as if it was passing by the side of the Bohai Sea's strong crossbowman array. And the crossbow held by the Song army also spilled a round of arrows. The Bohai crossbowmen who were pressed well did not dare to flash out from behind the side cards, and the arrows on the side cards were inserted like hedgehogs, and some side cards were shot through, and the screams of these Bohai crossbowmen suddenly came from behind!

Yang Zhong stood behind the formation and ordered in a cold voice: "Urge the formation to shoot!" Who dares to flinch and can't come out, without waiting for the Jurchen nobles to start, I will behead him first! ”

The guards around him immediately blew the horn, full of short and eager sounds, and there were dozens of guards on Yang's side. At once, he pulled out the iron long knife refined by the Liao people!

The boss's order was given, and the Bohai crossbowman could only flash the side cards. Fires crossbow arrows. And Li Jun's boat had already rushed by, and he could only greet the Song Junzhou boat that was following behind. Seeing the scene in front, the Song military boats behind had already made preparations, and only after all the bed crossbows and hand crossbows were wound up, they rushed at high speed from the side of the Bohai crossbowman array, and the ship was ashore, spitting dense crossbow arrows from each other!

The boats were covered with holes in the open side of the cowhide, and the sergeant oarsman fell in a pool of blood. But round after round of iron spears and short arrows of wooden feathers were splashed over, and these strong crossbowmen who carried the expectations of the Bohai remnants were also shot down in rows, and the cards on the side were shattered, and how many corpses and wounds fell on the shore, in addition to finally bringing a certain amount of casualties to the Song army, the heavy casualties were not much better than those tribal armies!

Later, no matter how Yang Zhong's personal guards urged the horn, the generals roared and ordered, these Bohai crossbowmen still shrank behind the side cards, and they didn't dare to flash out and shoot at the Song army's boat!

Yang finally gave up and continued to let his own sons and daughters work hard, just letting them hide behind the side cards and suffer. And his position was slightly back.

Watching Song Junzhou's boats rush past one after another, the boats were already getting closer and closer to the barrage water city. Yang Zhong's face turned pale, looking back at the place where the Pu Luhun banner was.

The formation on the shore and the ships that maintained their mobility were confronted, and it was certain that they would suffer such losses. According to Yang Zhong's original calculation, he was to wait for the barrage to lower the speed of the Song army's boats, and then concentrate on the power of the strong crossbowmen in the Bohai Sea, and cooperate with other military horses and wooden raft boats, saying that he would destroy all these Song troops in the Yishui River! But because of Proudhun's indiscriminate command, the strong crossbowmen of the Bohai Sea were seriously injured before they could exert their full power!

went to Zong Bi to fight this lawsuit with Puruhun, and Yang didn't have the courage to do so. No matter how much the Bohai people are valued, they are still far behind these true Jurchen generals. In the end, maybe Proudhon will put all the blame on him.

Yang Zhong glanced at the direction of Pu Luhun and turned to the barrage city in the distance, hoping that the arrangement left by his family could still block the Song army's boats, this time the battle with the river was far from the time of the game!

At this moment, above the watchtower, Pu Luhun also clearly saw a qiē that happened not far away. The strong crossbowmen of the Bohai Sea who were mobilized for his strict order also did not stop the southerners' boats. Instead, the riverbank was stained with blood, and I don't know how much was damaged. Even though the flag of the Bohai Navy did not retreat, it no longer dared to shoot at the Nanren boats, but only shrank behind the side cards and suffered. And one by one, the southerners' boats swept the waves and rushed towards the water city, under such an indomitable momentum, the barrage water city that originally felt extremely strong was extremely fragile in Pu Luhun's eyes at the moment!

If you let the Nanren boat rush over, how should this be explained to Zong Bi?

Proudhun strode down the watchtower and shouted, "Get on the horse!" Go to the water city with me and fight to the death with these southerners! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the middle of the fence under the city of Yixian, on top of the watchtower. Liu Baozhong and a few selected guards with good eyesight didn't know how long they had been standing on this cold and slippery fence.

As far as the eye can see, the rain is low and the water is cloudy. To the east of the barrage city, nothing can be seen. And on the shore to the west of the barrage water city, there are layers of Jurchen infantry troops, as well as Jurchen iron horses with two wings spread out, countless blades, flashing with cold light in the drizzle.

There was a faint shouting in the distance, looming, and when it was blown by the river wind, it became fragmented. Everyone pricked up their ears and carefully discerned.

Finally, the cry was getting closer and clearer. Finally, one of the guards jumped up and pointed to the east: "General, ship!" ”

Liu Baozhong leaned out of the watchtower and looked at the river.

I saw that in the east of the barrage water city of the Jurchen Tartars, on the surface of the Yishui River, a boat passed through the rain curtain and was rushing towards it! And this boat also raised the flag at this moment, it was the military flag of the Tianwu Army on the side of the red background and blue flames!

Liu Baozhong suddenly ordered: "Send troops and receive reinforcements!" The defenders of the military village went out first and shot their positions. Yang Zaixing's cavalry involved the two wings, covering the formation of heavily armored infantry warriors, stepping through the Tartar array, and bringing in our reinforcements!
