Section XXIV

On the left side of the Northern Army, it was the old and steady Ren Xianzhi, and against him was Jin Shangwu, the main general on the right side of the Jiangnan Water Army. Jin Shangwu was originally the commander of the 100th Gulf Storm Army, and because of his bravery, he was promoted by the former prime minister Zhu Huai and was awarded the title of general. Whether it is a land battle or a water battle, he is always in front of the battle, and he is extremely fierce. Zhuge Fei repeatedly told him to keep in mind that the "kite tactics" formulated by the south were carried out correctly, and he deserved to be very loud before the war, but as soon as he arrived on the river, these words became the ears of the east.

As soon as he saw the northern warships dispatched, his brain was hot, and he had long forgotten about the formation tactics and the like, and shouted: "Order the whole army to press and break through the enemy formation." ”

After giving the order, he took the lead and drove the main ship directly towards the other party. The rest of the ships were taken aback, if the flagship had three long and two short, the morale of the naval army on the right was greatly lost, and it was very possible to break and flee in one fell swoop. The captains resisted the urge to scold their mothers, and started their wishful machines one after another, speeding with all their strength to catch up, and pressed towards the northern fleet together.

In this way, the established "kite tactics" in the south naturally came to naught, but the gunwales in the north were also useless. How can the southerners suffer heavy losses? In one fell swoop, the left wing won the victory. Ren Xianzhi has been thinking about this question, at the beginning of the war, he was still thinking about how to lure the other party to attack, and use new weapons to give the enemy a head-on attack. At the moment when he was making a move, he saw a swarm of southern fleets, and the ships were moving at extremely fast speed, chaotic and disorderly. He was taken aback, and he took into account any tactics and the like, and shouted: "Order the whole army to move closer to me, shrink the defensive line, and go all out to deal with the southerners." ”

The southerners are good at fighting, and the forwards are all small ships equipped with wishful machines, although the scale is not large, but the number is extremely large. Although the northern warships are huge, if they are surrounded and the small ships rush up, they will be attacked from all sides, and when the time comes, they will be defeated by this wolf pack tactic. If the ships were put together, they could rely on each other and support the flanks with bows and arrows, and if the southerners wanted to attack again, they would have to spend a lot of time and damage on their feet.

This is really a mess of punching the old master, Ren Xianzhi passively responded to the battle, and now his mind is full of how to withstand the attack of the southerners, as for the gunwale, he has already been abandoned in the Jiyu Forest.

The two sides soon exchanged hands, at the moment when the middle cannon sounded, the left flank of the northern army and the right flank of the southern army had become a group, and the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering, and the large and small warships of the Jin Shangwu Department were like sharp ice picks, fiercely piercing into Ren Xianzhi's fleet, and the latter's fleet was like a helpless sponge, not only enveloping the southerner ships, but also trying to grind, grind, and melt them together. Nearly 100 large and small warships from the north and south were entangled in battle, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while, and in a short period of time it was possible to distinguish the winner from the loser.

At the same time, sweat appeared on Wang Zhiqing's forehead. As early as the end of last year, these weapons were transported from Kyoto to Hanshui and secretly loaded on the major main ships. Although the gunwales were used, the effect was very small, Wang Zhiqing was shocked and admired, and put himself in his shoes, if he was on the side of the southerners, once he encountered such an unheard-of sharp weapon as the gunwales, he would definitely be at a loss, and then the army had no fighting spirit, and it was very possible to flee in one fell swoop, but the southerners only paused, and immediately thought of the counterpart, and the forward ship turned around, went around to their front, and then rushed at high speed.

The Jiangnan Navy is worthy of being the strongest soldier in the world, and it is not Lang who has a false name!

The advantages and disadvantages of the gunwales, Yi Guan made it clear in the use of the handbook, we must try our best to widen the distance, hit the enemy with the flank, and avoid frontal and enemy broadside battles, otherwise the battleship equipped with the gunwales will not be mobile enough, and it will become a drag.

Looking at the enemy ship rushing towards him at high speed, Wang Zhiqing couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his head, could it be that there was a traitor in the army, and the news of the gunwales was leaked? Otherwise, how could the other party make such a response in such a short period of time.

Compared with Zhuge Fei, the commander of the Jiangnan Navy Army, Wang Zhiqing is not worse than the former in terms of combat experience and command ability, and even surpasses it, but he has a fatal flaw, that is, he is not decisive enough in the face of problems, and he has a lot of worries after thinking about things.

During the first battle of Hanning, Li Tie brazenly invaded the south with the whole army after the decisive battle in the south, just to catch the south by surprise, but Wang Zhiqing arrived in the middle of the river, worried about the fire attack of the southerners, but hesitated, so that he lost the opportunity, so that the former Southern Han Prime Minister Zhu Huai had a chance to breathe, and the Jiangnan naval army was arranged, and then led to a great defeat in the north. If he strikes categorically, it will be a mistake, and perhaps the outcome of the First Battle of Hanning will have to be rewritten.

At this critical juncture, he made the mistake of hesitation again, and suddenly felt that he should fight to the death with the enemy on all fronts, and suddenly felt that the enemy knew his own tactics and should temporarily retreat in order to plan for the future. The personal soldier next to him couldn't help but remind: "General, if you don't give an order, the enemy ship will rush to the front." ”

Wang Zhiqing was agitated and suddenly sobered up. In a short moment, the forward enemy ships had rushed two hundred paces away from him, and he calmed down, and shouted, "Let all the ships meet them with all their strength and crush them." Prepare the winged sailors with bows and arrows and the like, and strike as soon as the enemy comes into range. ”

If you retreat now, you will face the enemy with the stern, and the power of the gunwales will not be exerted in the slightest, and the speed will not be as fast as the opponent, and sooner or later you will be caught up.

The vanguard of the Southern Navy is a small boat, and in front of the huge Fenwei, it is a real small thing. If there is a frontal collision, there is no need to ram the angle ahead, and the huge hull of the Fenwei alone is enough to crush the opponent. Your ship may suffer some damage, but the enemy will definitely lose its ship, so the damage is almost negligible. Wang Zhiqing had already calculated that if he did this, the enemy ship would have to dodge, and as long as he got out of the way, whether it was to the left or right, they would be greeted by a rain of arrows.

Seeing the enemy ship rushing at high speed, the sailors on the deck were also waiting for the battle, Yu Zhaobin stood at the bow of the ship, and his heart was also bright, Wang Zhiqing had a clear plan. He drew his waist knife and shouted: "Order the left and right ships to follow, not to avoid the enemy ships, and to collide with them, in order to embed the other party and make it immobile." ”

His own soldiers were startled, and stammered: "General, general......" Yu Zhaobin glanced at him, and said: "Everyone is ready to stop, once they collide with the enemy ship, immediately jump into the water, and look for the nearest friendly ship to get on the ship." ”

Because it is a warship, so the pioneer ship is small, but there is still a ramming angle, this scale, if it is just one head-on, for the huge Fenwei, naturally insignificant, but if the three ships rush up, you can't wait to ignore it, even if the Fenwei is twice as big, it may still be stuck.

The southern warships are smaller, and they are not useless, at least it is much easier to jump into the water, and there are many small boats around, which can almost pull people on board nearby. But the northern navy was not so lucky, once they fell into the water, it was not convenient to rescue. At least you have to stop and lower the gangway from the high gang, but now that the war is deadlocked, it can allow you to calmly save people, so for the Northern Army, falling into the water means death, which can be said to be lifeless.

It turned out that the general had such an idea, and the soldiers instantly understood Yu Zhaobin's meaning and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Without doubt, the order was conveyed without a bad score, and almost at the moment when his words were played, the two battleships came from behind, and Yu Zhaobin, who had slowed down slightly, sat on the ship and crashed straight towards the Fenwei.

Come on, wealth and danger, Xiaolan, please bless me.

The huge and majestic Fenwei swooped in head-on, standing on the short river boat, at a glance, the Fenwei ship was as straight as a hill, but what Yu Zhaobin thought in his heart was the dusty woman Mei Ji, although she had passed away for several years, but this woman's voice and appearance were still like a puddle of ink, rippling in her heart, although it was timeless but fresh. Thinking of this, he held the long knife in his right hand, and his left hand reached to his chest, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and pressed it vigorously.

Under his clothes, a jade pendant was pressed against his skin, and when his hand pressed it, the jade pendant was pressed tighter, making him feel a chill in his chest.

The two had secretly been in love before, but they were forced by their respective identities, but they were unspeakable. On the night when the Southern Han Dynasty broke through Guangyang City, Sima Shang died, and Yu Zhaobin desperately rescued Mei Ji, who thought it was a fatal situation, and the two had nothing to talk about, and no scruples, and it was on that night that the two sides knew their own intentions.

For Mei Ji, she thought she was a piece of goods, and she usually had the meaning of breaking the jar, but Yu Zhaobin's love made her very fresh and deeply moved. In this world, there are people who have such a deep affection for themselves, which makes her surprised and happy, and at the same time a little frightened. Yu Zhaobin knows Mei Ji too well, and outsiders only say that Mei Ji is beautiful and good at greeting her. But he was the captain of Sima Shang's personal army, and he had seen this woman crying silently on the side many times, but he knew more about this woman who was like a cargo.

She is not a commodity, she is a person, a person with her own joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows, a living person.

After capturing the two, Wu Ming was in a hurry at that time, and he didn't have the leisure to take care of this matter, so he didn't know the relationship between the two. But Zuo Ying is different, after returning from the southern expedition, he managed the prisoner of war camp, observed for a long time, and was sure that the two cared about each other. coincided with Liao Shi's visit, and the prime minister wanted to find someone to monitor Liao's movements. Zuo Ying then found the two of them and made a promise on the spot that as long as Mei Ji went to Zhongxi to go to the underworld, once the matter was completed, the court would not only let her out of slavery, but also match her and Yu Zhaobin's affairs.

This pair of hard-working mandarin ducks only stayed in the prisoner of war camp for a few days, and after confiding their hearts to each other, they were separated forever.

The jade pendant is the promise that Mei Ji gave to Yu Zhaobin before leaving.

The enemy ship was getting closer and closer, and Yu Zhaobin grabbed the jade pendant through his clothes, and the cold air of the jade pendant penetrated into his palm through the thin coat, clear and beautiful, just like her smile. He shook his knife and shouted: "Prepare to jump ship." ”

With a bang, the three warships crashed into the huge hull of the Fenwei almost simultaneously, in no particular order. The sound of tooth-aching friction resounded throughout the battlefield. Yu Zhaobin plunged into the river with a fierce son, the icy river water with a bit of biting chill, but also made his mind clear, he kicked his feet, people jumped out like a sharp sword, sneaked under the water for a distance, and then poked out of the river, three river boats have collided with the Fenwei, two of them were torn apart, his ship was lucky, not only was not crushed, but the impact angle made of fine iron was embedded in the hull of the Fenwei, and was taken backwards by it. It's just that in this way, the Fenwei was also stuck, and the speed was reduced to a minimum.

"The general is here."

The sound of shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth, and the water was full of human heads, most of them had just fallen into the water, as soon as Yu Zhaobin showed his head, someone recognized him, and the nearby river boats heard the greeting, and one of them sailed to the front and pulled him out of the water and onto the boat. When he got on board, the huge Fenwei began to turn, and the arrows on the enemy ship rained down from above, and from time to time his own soldiers were shot by sharp arrows, and let out a terrible scream. He was furious in his heart, raised his knife and shouted: "Prepare to scratch the hook, everyone rushes to the boat and captures Wang Zhiqing alive." ”
