Chapter 266: Huang Tiandang (1)
For the challenge of Wanyan Wushu, Han Shizhong agreed in one bite.
History can prove that Han Shizhong has never flinched from the challenge of Jin Bing, and this time it is also out of proportion, even if his own number is less than a fraction of the opponent's.
8,000 Song army sailors against 100,000 gold soldiers.
Han Shizhong was able to fight alone to meet the enemy this time, which also indirectly proved that the last time he defeated the Jin soldiers without a fight, he was indeed dragged down by the great water of the Yellow River.
Two days later, the two most powerful sailors of the Jin and Song dynasties met in the waters of the Yangtze River in the Zhenjiang area
It's early summer, and the sky is beginning to clear up.
Wan Yan has slept very incomfortably for the past few days: being frightened on Jinshan is certainly one reason, but not understanding why Han Shizhong dared to come to meet him is another reason.
From the intelligence information collected from many aspects, it can be known that Han Shizhong's troops have always had only 8,000 people, and they have never exceeded it.
It's not that Han Shizhong doesn't want to expand, but that Emperor Gaozong escaped to sea, and the Han army lost contact with the small court of Jianyan, and could not get supplies from the imperial court, so all military expenses had to be solved by themselves.
Although the Han family army also looted the state capital, Han Shizhong always kept the bottom line and did not intrude on the people; In the absence of a guarantee for military spending, it is already very good not to be able to downsize.
The question is: With only 8,000 Song soldiers, why did Han Shizhong call out Wanyan Wushu? It's impossible to come and die! There must be something wrong here?
Wanyan Wushu has finally found the answer.
More than 1,000 ships had not yet left the dock, and the 100,000 golden soldiers, including Wanyan Wushu, were already frightened by the situation on the river.
Seriously. All the Jin soldiers have never seen this kind of posture:
The Yangtze River is extremely wide and mighty. Thirty or forty huge warships lined up in a row.
The length of these great ships was about 30 zhang (more than 90 meters). There are three decks on the deck, covered with a roof-like canopy, surrounded by protruding eaves, and covered with flags.
There are window openings on all sides of the ship. Needless to say, the reflection of the bright weapon in the window alone already explains its purpose.
In the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", these great ships are called giant ships. This kind of giant ship originated from the "five-tooth" ship built by Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty, and was refurbished by craftsmen of the Song Dynasty.
In front of the giant ships were some warships of slightly smaller size.
These slightly smaller ships had single-deck cabins. The back of the boat is brown and yellow, and it is clearly covered with raw cowhide; Holes are opened on both sides of the gunwale. Holes are opened in the front and back of the cabin, and can be attacked with bows, arrows, and spears.
The name of this type of warship was "Mengchong".
For the characteristics and fighting methods of this kind of warship, the "General Essentials of the Wujing" explains: "Mengchong, with raw ox leather Meng's back of the warship, left and right open the air, arrows and stones can not be defeated." There are crossbows and spears in the front and back, and the enemy will use this without a big ship when he advances, so as to be quick and take advantage of the unpreparedness. ”
In the gap between the giant ships. There were also some warships that were larger than the "Mengchong" and smaller than the giant ships.
Unlike the Mengchong battleships, these warships had women's walls on their sides. Under the wall, the ship's side is opened, there is a shed on the deck, and there is a female wall on the shed, and there is no backing on the shed, and the flags and golden drums are erected in front and behind, which are used to command the battle, and can be strong.
The Song people called this kind of warship "fighting boat".
There is also a record of this kind of warship in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts": "For those who fight ships, a female wall is set on the side of the ship to cover half of the body, and the wall is opened and empty, and a shed and a female wall are built on the five feet inside the ship, and a female wall is built on the shed to re-arrange." There is no backing on the warrior, and the front and back are left and right. ”
Han Shizhong did not have many warships, and there were more than 100 in total. However, these were standard warships, with long, wide and tall hulls, thick and sturdy planks, and fully equipped with ordnance.
Before the war started, just these warships were arranged on the wide river, the flags were flying, the drums and horns were ringing, the troops were serious, and the morale was brave, which had already put great pressure on the golden soldiers
There is a reason why Jin Bing feels a lot of pressure.
Although Jin Bing claimed to have a thousand warships, all of these ships were small civilian boats looted in the Jiangnan area, and some of them could not even be called boats, but could only be called sampans.
Even the largest ship in the Jin Naval Division was smaller than the smallest "Mengchong" battleship in the Song Division.
The gap is so great that it's as if a beggar on the street has met a billionaire.
In addition, the small size of the boat is not the biggest problem.
The biggest problem with the Jin soldiers was that in addition to carrying people and horses, the ships were also loaded with a large amount of booty.
This time, the "search of the mountains and the sea to catch Zhao Gou" of the Yan Wushu almost traveled all over the Jiangnan region.
Everywhere he went, he committed adultery and plundered, and plundered riches on a large scale.
The Jiangnan region was rich in products and was the richest area of the Song Dynasty, and the actual income from the spoils of the Jin soldiers this time was more than the wealth looted from Bianliang City in Kaifeng Prefecture during the Jingkang Revolution four years earlier.
Now the loot was piled up on the boats, and it was so heavy that the golden soldier's boat moved extremely slowly.
In this case, can you still fight against Song Jun?
The decision to finish the Yan Wushu is: "Resolutely start fighting".
From the analysis of historical data, the decision to complete the face vultures was justified. Because every time it comes to a critical moment, even if the Song army has an advantage, the Song army will often faint and destroy the Great Wall.
For example, when the Jin soldiers besieged Bianliang City for the first time, it was clear that the master had forced them to the edge of the Yellow River, and Emperor Qinzong had a whim and asked the prime minister Tang Ke to cover the Jin soldiers to cross the river.
Another example is that the Jin soldiers surrounded Kaifeng Mansion for the second time, and it was clear that the Jin soldiers had no strength to attack, but the Song Dynasty let Guo Shenxian lead the Liujia soldiers out of the city, opened the middle gate, and let the Jin soldiers enter the city.
Wanyan Wushu believes that this time, Song Jun will also faint again and repeat the mistakes of the past.
As a result, the Wanyan Vulture was completely miscalculated this time
Just as Jin Bing was watching from a distance, suddenly, the "Meng Chong" battleship in front of the Song army's giant ship. Raise the sails. Strive against the stream. Soon sailed to the upper reaches of the western region of the Yangtze River, exposing all the main "giant ships" in front of the Jin Bingshui Division.
Not only that, but there was also a giant Mac, a five-story high cabin, with a large pole on the top of the cabin, embroidered with a big "Han" character embroidered on it, waving in the wind.
This giant is clearly the command ship of Han Shizhong, the commander of the Song Army.
After finishing the face of the vulture, Ha Lu Ha smiled. Pointing to the word "Han", he said: "There are warnings in the chess games, and the car is not in danger." Now Han Shizhong is in danger alone and has committed a taboo. Which general is willing to go to war and capture Han Shizhong can be named the lord of a county. ”
There will be brave men under the great reward. As soon as Yan Wushu's words fell, seven or eight heads of ten thousand households had already stood up.
"Good boy, have guts!" Wanyan Wushu praised it, and then pointed to one of the thinner generals and said: "Pucha Alihu, the three brothers of your family have the best water quality in our army, and this attack will be handed over to your Pucha family." ”
The Jurchen clan is dominated by white mountains and black waters. Baishan is Changbai Mountain. The black water is Heilongjiang.
The Pucha family is a prominent clan in the Black Water Clan, second only to the Wanyan family.
The three brothers Pucha Ali Tiger, Pucha Ali Leopard, and Pucha Ali Wolf are the new warriors of the Pucha family in recent years; Martial arts are strong. He has a good water nature, a ruthless heart, and soon made a name for himself among the golden soldiers.
Moreover, the three Pucha brothers have a good heart, have a tacit understanding on the battlefield, and are often able to turn defeat into victory and turn danger into safety, and now sending them to attack is indeed a suitable choice
"Woo woo woo", a long horn sounded, and more than 300 ships of the golden soldiers set off, which was already a quarter of the total strength of the golden soldiers.
The cautious use of soldiers was once again revealed. At this time, Wanyan Wushu will also make a test to Han Shizhong.
The three hundred golden ships shook and swayed, rowing slowly, and it took a stick of incense to make them less than twenty zhang away from Han Shizhong's commanding ship.
At this time, Song Jun still stayed in place very quietly, without any movement.
Now both sides are already within the range of bows and arrows, but the Song army does not fire arrows first, and the Jin soldiers do not shoot either, because the Song army's ships are high, and using bows and arrows is not good for attacking the Jin soldiers. It's best for everyone to use bows and arrows, wait for the small boat of the golden soldier to approach the big ship, climb on board with thallium, and fight a fair duel!
Song Jun's inaction caused bursts of cheers from the Jin soldiers, and it also made Wanyan Wushu even more suspicious.
Could it be that Han Shizhong is waiting for death? No, there must be something wrong!
Just as he was finishing thinking about Yan Wushu, there was a loud "dong", and a series of drums came from the command ship where the word "Han" was located.
The "Mengchong" battleship, which had originally stayed in the upper reaches of the Western Regions, sailed down the river and rushed towards Jin Bing's ship; At the same time, dozens of "giant ships" slowly stepped forward and pressed towards the golden soldiers.
That's right, it's rolling. There is no more accurate word than rolling in terms of the proportions of the ships on both sides.
The speed of the "Meng Chong" battleship was so fast that it actually cut off more than 300 Jin Bing's ships into two parts from the middle.
Part of it is in the south, echoing the headquarters of the Jin soldiers; Part of it was located between the giant ship of the Song army and the "Mengchong" battleship, and was made of dumplings by the Song army.
In the South Shore base camp, I saw the completion of the Yan Wushu. Han Shizhong's tactics are called "closing the door and beating the dog".
It seems that Song Jun's time is not very good; If the time had been right, the "Mengchong" battleship would not have divided the Jin soldiers into two parts, but would have wrapped more than 300 ships in it.
Only in this way can the dumplings be wrapped beautifully.
Thinking of this, Wanyan Wushu couldn't help but shudder, are these timid and weak Southern Song Dynasty people on the other side still familiar to him?
Separated by the "Mengchong" battleship, the Jin soldiers on the southern periphery were in a hurry, and threw thallium one after another, trying to seize the "Mengchong" battleship and get on the ship desperately.
There was a chaotic sound of "pop, pop, pop", and the "Meng Chong" warship invariably threw down large wooden planks with steel thorns on many sides.
These planks have a name for themselves, called "slapping rods".
"Shooting rod" has two functions: one is to shoot the golden soldiers on the boat to death; The other is to sink Jin Bing's boat directly...... (To be continued......)

Alas, I just came back for two days, and I have to rush back to Hong Kong, and I am tired of running between the two places.
