Chapter Seventy-Five: The Golden Beach Strikes Back
But the moon array, this is a kind of military chariot battle array, created by Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Dynasty Liu Song Dynasty, shaped like a crescent moon, backed by the water, the most conducive to "riding with steps".
Liu Yu once used the Qiyue Array to defeat the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Xianbei tribe with 2,000 infantry. Zhu Wu and Xi Sheng teamed up to learn from Liu Yu's experience of "Chariot but Moon Array" and transformed a new "Serial Battleship Moon Array".
The Liangshan Water Army is backed by the golden beach, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the rear, and there are towering reconnaissance towers in the village, which can overlook the enemy situation with a wide field of vision, and command the headquarters army to respond at any time through the flag.
Zhao Min pre-arranged for Jin Mengji to investigate the enemy on the highest reconnaissance tower, which was to give full play to the role of Jin Maiden's "eagle eyes" and "wolf ears".
The arc formation can disperse the impact force when the enemy kicks the formation, and because of the heavy responsibility of relying on the own formation, it is easier to improve the morale and belief of the Liangshan water division, so that they can persist in fighting, replace defense with attack, and only know how to advance and never retreat.
In addition to the three military divisions, there was also another professional technician.
This person was the first gunner of the Great Song Dynasty, thundering Ling Zhen, and it was he who personally fired the cannon and beat Li Zongtang and Wei Yangyin.
The commander of the charge of the official army was the powerful director Sen, who was no more daring than the shepherd and the farmer. He saw that the long-range artillery fire of the Liangshan Water Division was fierce, and he was still fearless and fearless, only to see him raise the iron spear, roar angrily, and command the troops to continue to move forward in the face of the artillery fire.
Ren Sen believed that as long as their sailors could go straight to the middle and defeat the command ships of the Liangshan army, victory would definitely belong to them.
It must be said that the lethality of long-range weapons in the era of cold weapons is limited after all, and even more so above the surface of the river, the accuracy of the archers and gunners will always be affected.
The 36 teams of officers and soldiers brought by Xu Huai were basically drawn and borrowed from the private soldiers of the powerful landlords' families in Shandong, although these people did not understand any strict military discipline, but they all had a blood feud with Liangshanzhai, so they killed the most ruthlessly, charged the most fiercely, and were not afraid of sacrifice.
Braving the rain of arrows and artillery fire, Ren Sen commanded the militia and built a shield with flesh and blood, but in the end they still made a bloody way, and saw that they were not far from the command ship in the center of the Liangshan Army's Moon Formation.
Zhao Min was not surprised at all when he saw the official army coming, he just smiled, but it was like a peony blooming, and the sun warmed in spring, and said to Zhu Wu next to him: "Master Zhu, it seems that the time is about the same, let the brothers launch it." ”
Zhu Wu stretched his feather fan forward and said, "What Madame said is very true, the enemy has no door to cast himself in hell. ”
He turned his head to Li Jun and instructed: "Brother Li Jun, play the flag and use the three waves of the Hengjiang River!" ”
Li Jun sang, and only sent the red and white command flags to the fleets on both flanks.
As soon as the flag was raised, the fleets on both wings began to move, and with a series of earth-shattering shouts of "pull hard", the waves on the river were rolling, the water was turbulent, and three huge black iron chains were suddenly straightened horizontally, blocking the front of the officer and army stormtroopers.
It turned out that Zhu Wu had already hidden three huge iron chains under the surface of the river in the gap between the two wings and the middle of the moon array, and as soon as the command ship issued a command order, the sergeants on both wings worked hard to pull it up, creating three tripwires on the water.
Of course, these three tripping ropes on the water do not trip horses, only tripping boats. As soon as the assault fleet collides, the effect is equivalent to hitting the wall, and there is only one ending: the ship capsizes and falls overboard!
Receiving this sudden attack, the momentum of the charge of the officers and troops was immediately contained. Xu Huai was waiting for the command to respond to the situation, turn the offensive into defense, and stabilize the situation, but Zhao Min was unforgiving, and had already issued an order in advance, asking the troops on both wings to transform from tactical defense to tactical attack.
However, seeing hundreds of small boats quickly moving out of the two-wing chain of warships, the oars swaying like a whirlwind, they had already rushed to the front of the official army in an instant, and from those small boats jumped out of the countless sailors wearing robes and hats, holding bitter bamboo guns in their hands, and carrying horns and sharp knives, and killed them side by side.
Xu Huai saw it and hurriedly ordered the officers and soldiers to release arrows, but the equipment worn by these sailors was a new product transformed by Zhao Min and Baivar Khan, and the last thing to be afraid of was bows and arrows.
On the head of the navy, it is wrapped in leaves, and the inside is made of bronze; Inside the robe, it was all made of cooked copper, and everyone wore it, like a turtle shell, and arrows could not be shot, and knives and guns could not be cut.
The leader of the charge in the Liangshan army is a good man of three one-mother compatriots, who have been crisscrossing the big rivers at will since he was a child, and they are all dragons without scale armor and masters who dominate the waterways.
The colors of these three people are different from those of others, all of them are green and green, and each of them carries a bright, silver-shining pen barrel gun in his hand.
Some officials and soldiers knew these three grandfathers, and when they saw them killed, they were all terrified.
"It's amazing, the three heroes of the Ruan family are here."
Of course, these three brothers are three of the seven stars of Shouyi on Liangshan: Ruan Xiaoer, Tai Sui, Lidi, Ruan Xiaowu, short-lived Erlang, and Ruan Xiaoqi, who is alive.
In the first battle of the reeds, the three heroes of the Ruan family killed hundreds of thieves under He Tao with only three people, and since then they have been famous on the Shandong Road, and it is the Liangshan heroes that these local landlords and armed soldiers are most afraid of.
It's just what you're afraid of!
This Ruan Sanxiong led the Liangshan water army into the flock like a tiger, collided with the enemy ship, and only cared about slashing and killing, which instantly stirred up a great chaos in the official army, and on the other side, Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, and Zhang Shun, the white strip in the waves, were not idle, and also led a pair of bronze armor sailors to carry out harassing killing.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Huai immediately sent Yan Shude, the strongest master around him, to support the officers and soldiers who were attacked. He himself relied on Bai Jie's protection, and with this lady's elusive ability to shrink the ground, it was not difficult to save his life.
Yan Shude rushed to the left with a big pole knife, and bumped into Ruan Xiaoqi head-on, and Ruan Xiaoqi only knew that it was not good to fight him with a knife, only to feel a fighting spirit like a bloodthirsty wolf.
At the moment of crisis, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu, two elder brothers, rushed to help the battle, and the brothers joined forces, risking life and death, and fighting hard against the congenital master Yan Shude.
If you want to talk about the attainments of real martial arts, the three heroes of the Ruan family can't compare to Yan Shude, but now they are above the water, Yan Shude is normal in water, and it is difficult to stabilize the lower plate, and the combat effectiveness has declined.
And the three heroes of the Ruan family are all dragons in the water, the grandmasters of water warfare, if Yang Ye is allowed to use his divine eye to investigate, these three brothers all have the basic skills of grandmaster-level water-based specialization, and their professions are all water cowards, but in the terrain with water, they can increase their offensive and defensive capabilities by 50%.
Under the advantages of the other, the four heroes fought into a draw, swords and guns, dragons and tigers, and the killing was extremely fierce.
Commander Xu Huai's official ships were attacked, but the Jinling Naval Division did not rush to help, and in a round of charge, Liu Menglong's team also suffered some artillery and suffered some losses. Faced with a setback, the governor of Liu immediately ordered the army to shrink, withdraw from the range of the Liangshan army's artillery fire, and coldly watched Xu Huai and Liangshan's division fight.
Speaking from his heart, he Liu Menglong also wanted to defeat Liangshan and capture Golden Beach, but he didn't want it to be today.
There is only one reason inside: today Gao Yu designated the commander-in-chief of the attack on Liangshan, not him, but Xu Huai.
Even if he wins the battle, the big credit is not his own, as a martial artist, Liu Menglong has always looked down on Xu Huai, who is yin and yang, and he is incompatible with him, and his favorite thing to see is to see Xu Huai defeated.
Therefore, Liu Menglong chose to preserve his strength, he had already left a backup move, and it was only when his secret weapon was transported to the front of the two armies that he could truly show his Liu Dudu's powerful water warfare ability.
Liangshan Caokou, today will make you proud for a while.
With two "bangs", the two-wing ships of the Liangshan chain fleet finally collided with the warships of the official army, and Zhu Wu had already prepared to install sharp ramming angles on the two assault battleships in the front, and at the same time wrapped the bow with iron armor.
These are all ideas provided by Zhao Min, and then the skilled craftsman Baivar Khan is responsible for the specific implementation. This is a direct transfer of the expertise she learned in the world of "Age of Discovery" to the knowledge of white-knuckle naval warfare.
Under the collision, the ship overturned and people died, this time the officers and troops came to attack the navy, in terms of the quality of the warship, only the Jinling Naval Division was the best, Xu Huai's 36th team used ships were all small ships, there was no ironclad protection, compared to the ships of Liangshan, there was no equipment advantage of the regular army, so their ships were difficult to block Zhao Min's good design across time and space.
After the battleship collision ended, the Liangshan Water Army and Xu Huai's troops no longer had any barrier, and began to enter the stage of all-out white-knuckle warfare.
The first two heroes, the first one carried a group card in his left hand, and twenty-four flying knives were inserted in his back; right-handed javelin; The latter one also made a group of cards, and twenty-four javelins were inserted on his back; The left hand holds the card, and the right hand holds the sword; With the cheering drums of the Chinese army, the two heroes danced the group card, rolled into the formation, and went straight to Ren Sen.
Ren Sen's iron spear rolled up, showing off his means, like a spiritual snake out of a hole, single-handedly, to fight these two heroes, but where were these two interested in fighting him alone, before he could rush to it, he first smashed the flying knife and javelin far away.
Not only did they smash it themselves, but they also commanded their barbarian soldiers to smash it together, flying knives and javelins seemed to be pouring rain, and they were thrown all over the world.
Ren Sen only cared about blocking the flying knife javelin, and rushed over against the opponent, his face was like a pot of iron, his eyes were exposed, he held a mourning sword in his hand, and he cut his head and head indiscriminately, he didn't pay attention, and his helmet was cut off by this hero.
Ren Sen blocked a few times, only to feel that this man's strength is amazing, although the martial arts are not the best, but the killing is too strong, it is completely a skill practiced in killing, there is no routine but it is quite practical, and it is difficult for him to win this guy in a hurry.
So Ren Sen finally had no intention of fighting, so he could only run back to the Chinese army, go to meet Xu Huai and Bai Jie, take a small boat together, break away from the team, and fight and retreat.
As soon as he retreated here, this brute soldier, javelin flying knife hand and mourning sword tyrant all went to besiege Yan Shude, Rao is this guy has the courage of ten thousand people, and the innate master has the ability to breathe endlessly, and he can't stand such a group of wolves biting.
This team of brave brute soldiers is not simple at all, it is the most warlike infantry in Liangshan, this is the dominant in Mangdang Mountain, Pei County, Xuzhou, it is the people trained by Fan Rui, the demon king of the mixed world, and now it is under the command of Li Kui, the "black whirlwind".
The flying knife hand is Xiang Chong of the "eight-armed Nezha", the javelin hand is the "Flying Sage" Li Gon, and the sword tyrant of the mourning door is the "God of the Mourning Gate" Bao Xu, all of whom are fierce gods who specialize in killing people, and they are Li Kui's auxiliaries for achieving the prestige of the "Sky Killing Star".
Without the cooperation and protection of the brute soldiers, if Li Kui's brute strength and loose martial arts were alone, even if he was ten, he would have fallen into the chaotic army.
Today, the black whirlwind Li Kui is not there, but the brute soldiers are still sharp in combat, they cooperate to defend the Ruan family brothers, kill Yan Shude's knife and hang the color, and finally only care about throwing themselves into the water to escape.
In the battle before Jinsha, Liang Shanshui relied on Zhu Wu's formation and Zhao Min's command to grasp the favorable opportunity of the disagreement between the official and army commanders, and finally reversed the decline and began to turn defeat into victory.
