The "slap rod" is a device that is very useful in general naval combat, as the enemy will not stay under the side of your ship and wait for your blow. Therefore, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the instrument of "beating rod" began to gradually decrease on warships, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, "shooting rod" directly withdrew from the stage of history.

But today, on the first day of the decisive battle between Han Shizhong and Wanyan Wushu on the surface of the Yangtze River, the ancient warship equipment of "slapping rod" played an extremely important role.

The warships of the Song army were large, tall and fast, while the ships of the Jin soldiers were small, short and slow.

It's so simple and practical that you only need to throw the "slapping rod" under the warship to smash and sink a ship; Next, there is no need to pick up the "shooting rod", the Yangtze River is windy, and the "Mengchong" battleship is extremely fast, and it can also tow several small boats.

This battle can't be fought, and Wanyan Wushu can only withdraw with tears in his eyes.

Three hundred ships went out to fight, and one hundred ships returned to the camp, which was the result of the first round of the battle between the two armies of the Jin and Song dynasties.

In the vicinity of the Song army's warship, you can also see the picture of Jin soldiers struggling on the river, and then being pressed into the water by the Song army with spears very leisurely.

The Yangtze River flows fast, and blood stains on the surface of the river are rare. But this kind of scene of killing without seeing blood is even more terrifying for most of the Jin soldiers who are not good at water.

An hour later, the heads of the three brothers, Pucha Ali Tiger, Pucha Ali Leopard, and Pucha Ali Wolf, hung high on Han Shizhong's giant command ship, and issued a silent challenge to Jin Bing

The war began. Chenshi was already defeated. Wanyan Wushu couldn't help but panic.

Judging by the situation on the spot. The chances of winning against Han Shizhong are very slim.

Yes, there are many golden soldiers, and there are many ships; However, no amount of ants can knock an elephant to the ground.

Look at the process of the more than 100 golden soldiers' boats that were made dumplings just now, and the process of being forcibly knocked over by the big ship of the Song army is like the small foot-washing basin being overturned by the big bathtub, it is extremely easy, and there is no chance of turning the tables.

How should this battle be fought?

The only way Wanyan Wushu could think of was to try to speed up his own ships. Only by increasing the speed of the ship can you maneuver with the warships of the Song army.

But. If you want to speed up your ships, you must abandon the heavy loot.

However, the spoils of war were all gold and silver treasures, which belonged to the private property of the soldiers; If the soldiers were persuaded to give up their possessions, would they agree?

What did the Song Dynasty go south for? What is the purpose of throwing his head and spilling blood to fight the southerners? Not for the sake of the goods in front of you? If it is forcibly thrown away, will it cause a mutiny among the soldiers?

At this point, Wanyan Wushu would never dare to try

There was really no way, and Wanyan Wushu had to return to the inner tent, where there was still one of Wanyan Wushu's most trusted people-the military advisor Ha Michi.

Ha Mi Chi has been sick for more than 20 days. The ghost weather in the south of the Yangtze River is hot and humid, and Ha Mi Chi accidentally contracted the wind cold. I've drunk more than a dozen pills, but it's still not good. Now it's almost dying.

Seeing Ha Mi Chi like this, Wan Yan Wushu couldn't bear to disturb him, but the situation was in crisis, so he could only forcibly shake Ha Mi Chi awake and tell him in detail about the battle in the morning.

After a long time, Ha Mi said angrily: "In this battle, our army does not want to win the Han army, as long as it can cross the river smoothly, it will be a victory; On the contrary, if Han Shizhong can't keep our army, no matter how many ships he sinks, it will be a failure, remember, remember. ”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly lost his breath and whimpered.

Wanyan Wushu looked at this loyal servant of the Wanyan family, and he was still going to die when he reached the end, and two lines of tears flowed down his eyes again.

During this time, he lost a lot of relatives and friends, and he was sad for a while, and he lost his talents.

However, Wanyan Wushu was still inspired by Ha Mi's last words.

Since my strategic goal is only to cross the river, there is no need to entangle with Han Shizhong. Why not cross the Yangtze River in the dark? With so many ships, how many can Han Shizhong intercept?

Just after the hour passed, more than 1,000 small boats of the Jin Kingdom quietly set off at anchor, wanting to bypass the big ships of the Song army and head to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

For this night crossing of the Yangtze River, Wanyan Wushu is not at all sure, and the reason is that hateful moon.

Wanyan Wushu didn't expect that it was not yet the first lunar month, but only half of the moon had already illuminated the surface of the Yangtze River clearly, and there was nothing to hide.

There was no turning back from the bow.

Now that the military order to set off has been transmitted, Wanyan Wushu can only rush forward. Even if Han Shizhong is a dragon, he has to fight a few times

Shaking and shaking, Jin Bing's ship had already sailed to one-third of the water area of the river, and it was faintly visible on the opposite bank.

With a loud bang, the originally bright and flawless night sky suddenly exploded into a fireworks, and below this fireworks, it happened to be the command ship where the Wanyan Wushu Shuai Banner was located.

In other words, every move of Wanyan Wushu was under the observation of Song Jun.

After the fireworks, less than a cup of tea, all the original bare masts of the Song army were already full of sails.

Followed by a sharp and piercing rudder turn, more than 100 Song Dynasty warships were divided into three teams, and pressed towards the Jin soldiers in three directions: left, center, and right.

Watching the river from the shore, it is really like more than 100 large bathtubs rampage in more than 1,000 small face plates, vivid and beautiful

Golden soldiers do not fire bows and arrows. First, the number of golden soldiers on each ship is not large, and it cannot form a rain of arrows; Second, the wind on the river was strong, and the ships on both sides were moving, which increased the difficulty of archery; All of the Song troops took refuge in the side of the warship, and the Jin soldiers could not find a specific target at all.

The Song army also did not use bows and arrows. Now that it is a water battle, there is no way to clean up the battlefield, and Han Shizhong's troops have not been resupplied for several months. Arrows are becoming more and more precious. It should be used only when it matters most.

Second. In order to prevent the Song army's sailors from being overrun, the distance between the ships continued to widen, and the use of bows and arrows was actually a waste.

The third and most important point: the Song army now has two attack artifacts: a slap rod and a flying hammer. The Song army relied on the speed of its own ships, and with just the use of slapsticks and flying hammers, they had already beaten the Jin soldiers to the ground, and fled in embarrassment.

This is a strange war, and the Song army is fighting. The golden soldiers are hiding; The Song army is chasing, and the Jin soldiers are on the run.

Strictly speaking, this is not a war, but a unilateral massacre; Or, you can call this war an asymmetrical war, because the Jin soldiers simply don't have any ability to fight back.

However, the river in the Jinshan section is too wide, and the number of Jin Bing's boats is too many, although many of them were sunk by the Song army, and the entire Jin Bing's fleet. It gradually crossed the middle line of the Yangtze River and approached the opposite bank.

Vitality has emerged. The strength of the golden soldiers' rowing also increased, and the entire golden soldier fleet was accelerating

With a loud bang, a dazzling firework once again appeared in the sky above the Jinbing command ship.

At this time, Wanyan Wushu had already ordered the handsome flag to be torn off, but the command ship was the largest, and it stood out like a flock among the many golden soldiers, which was very conspicuous.

After the fireworks, there was a long "whoosh" sound, and a rocket was sent out from Han Shizhong's command ship, pulling out a long line of fire in mid-air, pointing straight at Jin Bing's command ship.

The route is clear and easy to identify.

Behind the Big Mac's command ship, more than a dozen small combat ships suddenly flashed.

These fighting ships were even smaller than the "Mengchong" battleships, and on either side of the ships were two large wooden wheels, each of which was equipped with four rafts.

This kind of ship has been handed down from the Tang Dynasty and may be the earliest steamship in the world. According to the record in Li Gao's biography in the "Old Tang Book", Gao was "a battleship and a second wheel".

The greatest advantage of this kind of ship is that it is extremely fast, the so-called "rushing water with a wheel, and its movement is like flying". When Han Shizhong reported to the emperor afterwards, he called this kind of ship the "flywheel eight".

Hundreds of years later, Dr. Joseph Needham of the University of Cambridge, a leading figure in the history of Chinese science and technology, mentioned the ship in the ninth volume of his book Science and Civilization in China, and called it "a ship with a paddle wheel and eight oars".

At a critical moment, Han Shizhong used his secret weapon - the wheel

The wheels were worthy of being the fastest ships at that time, and if the formation of the Jin soldiers' fleet remained unchanged, with a cup of tea, these dozen wheels would have been able to meet the command ship of the Jin soldiers and sink it.

Song Jun's fireworks and rockets had already aroused Wanyan Wushu's vigilance, and the appearance of the wheel directly scared Wanyan Wushu half to death.

There are still such fast ships, and they don't let people live!

In desperation, Wanyan Wushu had no choice but to let the herald blow the horn and let all the golden soldiers and ships immediately return to defend themselves and come to protect themselves.

Jin Bing is really strict in military discipline, and orders must be carried out.

As soon as the horn sounded, all the Jinbing ships, no matter how big or small, including those that had already crossed the middle line of the Yangtze River, all approached the command ship to protect Yan Wushu.

Han Shizhong, who was standing at the top of the Big Mac, saw every move of the golden soldiers clearly, and hurriedly waved the order flag, sounded the gong, and let the wheels retreat.

Although the wheel boat is fast and has strong attack power, its defense is weak, and Han Shizhong is reluctant to take it to fight with Jin Bing.

On the command ship of the Song army, the flag flew and the golden drums sounded in unison.

Although the wheels retreated, the giant ships and fighting boats pressed up again, and the fleet of Jin Bing was pressed back to the south of the middle line of the Yangtze River.

After working for a long time, I still returned to the original point

At this time, it was already the middle of the year, and the Yangtze River began to rise at high tide.

On the middle line of the Yangtze River, the giant ships and fighting boats of the Song army are constantly rolling forward; In the waters downstream, the Song army's "Mengchong" battleships were taking advantage of the high tide to advance upstream, and the Song army on both sides was getting closer and closer to the Jin soldiers.

After finishing Yan Wushu's heart, taking advantage of the high tide to go up the river, Jin Bing has so many boats, I don't believe that Han Shizhong's men and horses can cover the river, as long as there is a gap, they can row to the north bank...... (To be continued......)
