end song

"Pad hard!"

"Pull the water fence!"

"Fire arrows!"

The soldiers of the Song army prepared to meet the Tang army amidst the shouts, and sailed one ship after another from the shore to the center of the river.

It didn't take long to see the ships of the Tang army floating down from the upper reaches.

"Tang Jun's boat is small, block it!"

Immediately, soldiers of the Song Army carried large sharpened wooden stakes to the ship's side to fix them.

Most of them have troop carriers here, and I don't think the ships are big, but at this time, when compared with Tang Jun, they immediately gain confidence.

"Fire arrows!"

The arrow shot against the wind and landed lightly in front of the Tang army's warship.

After only one round, the distance between the two sides has been shortened rapidly.

"Boom."

First, the weak water fence was knocked open, and the soldiers of the Song Army had fixed the tree stumps and ran away one after another, preparing for the impact.

In their eyes, Tang Jun's boats are like small sampans.

"coming!"

The sun shines on the river, reflecting the dazzling light.

A soldier who was running on the deck turned his head and saw the iron sheets wrapped on the side of the Tang army's warship in a hurry...

"Oh!"

The troop carrier shook violently, and sure enough it withstood the impact of the small sampan.

The sound of wood breaking creaked and creaked. It should be that Tang Jun's boat hit those sharp wooden piles and cracked.

"Are they broken?"

"Kill them."

The soldiers held their bows and rushed to the side of the ship, but when they probed, they were shocked.

I saw that the sharpened wooden stake had been knocked crookedly, and the Tang army boat wrapped in iron was stuck in the side of the troop carrier like a dagger, and a Tang army soldier was trying to pull it out with a long pole.

And their troop carrier had been knocked out a deep crack.

"Fighting fuel tank!"

The generals of the Song Military Academy shouted, urging the soldiers to burn those Tang Army warships with fire.

It's a pity that their own ship has begun to sink slowly, and the soldiers have no longer cared about setting fire, and retreated in a panic.

"Oh!"

Not far away, several Tang Army warships collided with the troop carrier beside them.

This time the soldiers of the Song army saw clearly that although the warships of the Tang army were small, they were covered with iron, and the iron was cast with small thorns like thorns, which made them extremely hard. Can crack a wooden boat.

"Oh!"

After several successive collisions, the ships of the Song Army were smashed, cracked trees flowed down the river, and some of the soldiers who fell into the river swam to the shore.However, the river was so fast that many people were swept away.

In just a short while, the defense line on the river was torn apart.

The Tang army navy planned to break through the Song army's defense line and go to Kuizhou for support.

Seeing this situation, Su Liuyi couldn't help being anxious, and kept urging his warship to sail towards the center of the river, intending to intercept the Tang army's navy from the side.

"Quick! Hook him up for me..."

Su Liuyi raised his hand and pointed at the main battleship of the Tang army.The other warships of the Song Army had the intention of retreating, but seeing him like this, they had no choice but to follow.

With another "bang", his warship finally slanted into the Tang army's fleet.

"Pick up the boat!"

The impact sounded non-stop, and at the same time, the sounds and screams of arrows, fierce oil tanks, thunderbolt guns and other weapons were heard one after another.

"Smash it!"

"Cut off their general flag!"

Taking advantage of the condescending advantage, the soldiers of the Song army threw fireballs of porcelain caltrops.

To Su Liuyi's surprise, the opponent's general was not afraid of being intercepted by him, and also chose to take over.

Hooks were thrown onto his deck, and the shouts of murder had reached the side of his boat.

"Don't go back!"

Su Liuyi raised his spear and rushed to the edge of the boat in person, followed by a group of soldiers holding up their spears and shields.

The Tang army's main battleship was a little shorter, and Su Liuyi rushed to the side of the boat to see the Tang army soldiers clearly, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.

For the convenience of activities, sailors and soldiers often don't wear armor or only wear light and small leather armor.However, the soldiers of the Tang army were all wearing black armor.

Song Jun's arrows shot out, but they couldn't shoot in when they landed on those armors, they could only fall powerlessly.

Su Liuyi thought it was iron armor at first, but after a closer look, he realized that it was not.

"Vine armor?"

He murmured, thinking of something he had vaguely heard, saying that in his early years, Li Xia's troops marched out of the five-foot way, and that was where Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times, so his army has made some rattan armor in recent years. , but no one has ever seen...

Was thinking of this.

"General be careful!"

Some soldiers threw Su Liuyi down and rolled twice on the shaking deck.

"Whoosh" a big arrow passed between the two rows of soldiers, splashing blood in an instant.

Su Liuyi got up in embarrassment and stared at the enemy ship. Only then did he realize that the Tang army had installed a large three-bow crossbow on the deck, and it had already loaded another arrow.

"Damn, there's everything on the little broken boat..."

~~
As the battle progressed, more and more warships of the Tang army went down the river, either rammed into Su Liuyi's warship, or surrounded it from the side to hook it up for boarding.

The ships of the Song Army sailed from the river, and their speed was much slower.

The slower the speed, the weaker the momentum, so the soldiers became more hesitant and slower.

"General! There are more and more enemies! Back!"

"Fight again!"

Su Liuyi glanced at the enemy ship from behind the shield, and had locked onto the figure of the enemy general.

It was a very short General Tang, with a rather unremarkable appearance. He held a harpoon and waved it while directing it, which seemed a bit clumsy.

suddenly.

"General! The ship is leaking!"

"How is it possible? This is the Yangtze River..."

Su Liuyi was startled, and then turned his head to look at General Tang, no longer feeling clumsy, but cunning.

He didn't expect that the Tang army had such water-worthy soldiers who could dive into the river and cut through the bottom of his boat in such a rapid current.

There was a sound of "bang", but a huge crossbow penetrated his ship's side.

Sawdust flying.

Su Liuyi raised his head again, and his face was covered in blood from being cut by the broken wood.

Looking downstream again, he estimated in his heart that the enemy had been blocked for so long, and the downstream should be ready, so he ordered: "Withdraw!"

~~
"Sink it!"

Zhang Shun stared at the dilapidated main warship of the Song Army ahead, and gave orders loudly.

So the boat chased in the direction of the north bank for a while.

But there was a horn sounding in the distance, and the flag on a ship in the middle of the river was waving.

"General, the Second General said that General Song wanted to lure you to the rocks."

"Damn."

Zhang Shun stared at the "Su" flag, wiped the blood on his face, spat, and ordered: "Don't pay attention to these dog monkeys, go downstream to save Kuizhou!"

"Also, repair the boat..."

The ship changed its sail direction, gradually returned to the center of the river, and sailed downstream quickly.

The river is surging, the scenery on both sides of the bank is constantly retreating, and several mountains have passed in a blink of an eye.

~~
The head of Kuizhou city.

Yao Di glanced at Tang Jun in the city, feeling a little scared in his heart.

Fortunately, he could see that there was indeed not much food in the city, and Zhang Qiyan was no longer as stubborn as he was a while ago.

Hu Huaixiao, who had just escaped from Wanzhou, was still trying to persuade Zhang Qiyan.

"General Zhang scolded me for treason, but I didn't know that I was originally a minister of Song Dynasty, and I have been deeply favored by the emperor for generations. When Li Ni rebelled, Zhang Jue dedicated his old troops to Chongqing and Kuizhou Road.

"Hu Huaixiao, I will kill you."

"It's okay for General Zhang to kill me, but why are the people in the city innocent?" Hu Huaixiao persuaded earnestly: "No matter how you look at me, the current situation is that Wanzhou in the upper reaches has returned to the Song Dynasty, and Kuizhou has become an isolated city. If General Zhang If you don't surrender, you will only increase the casualties of soldiers and civilians..."

Yao Di was listening and gradually calmed down.

He felt that Hu Huaixiao had found his status, and his upright speech seemed as if he really instigated the soldiers in Wanzhou City, beheaded the guards of the Tang army, and then dedicated the city to the Song Dynasty.

In fact, Hu Huaixiao just fled secretly to the ship of the Great Song Navy, but this is not important anymore, the important thing is that his words are true enough to persuade Zhang Qiyan.

After talking for a while, Yao Di said, "How about this, let's ask General Zhang to think about it and discuss it with the generals."

Today, as long as they are allowed to board the city and leave safely, many people in Kuizhou City will have the intention to surrender. Surrender is a matter of time, and there is no rush.Therefore, Yao Di planned to retreat to advance.

He pulled Hu Huaixiao to give a bow to Zhang Qiyan, and said: "By the way, I heard that General Zhang was once the former department of Zhu Yusun Zhu's comfort envoy, and Zhu's comfort envoy is now in the army. Next time, General Zhang can meet him. "

Zhang Qiyan didn't speak, but nodded to his subordinates, expressing that he allowed the two envoys to leave.

So the top of the city began to prepare to put down the hanging basket.

suddenly.

"General!" A Tang soldier shouted, "Look upstream!"

Yao Di, who had just stepped into the hanging basket, was inexplicably startled, and turned his head to look west, anxious.

~~
"Oh!"

The collision has occurred in the fleet of the Song Army Navy.

The shouts and screams were blown away by the river wind, and they could not reach Jia Sidao's main ship for the time being.

But Jia Sidao and Xia Gui are still sitting and talking.

"Mr. Pingzhang, since the founding of our dynasty, there have been rules for all promotions, regardless of academic and military officials, to follow the qualifications, grind, test, and recommend. The so-called 'limited years to learn merits, and ranks to advance'..."

Jia Sidao listened nonchalantly, secretly cursing Xia Gui, a rude martial artist, who could speak eloquently when his interests were really involved.

Pretending to be the same as a civil servant is even more annoying.

He talked a lot of nonsense, and it was nothing more than "Seniority ranking is the official rule of the Song Dynasty. You, Jia Sidao, can't mention Su Liuyi to my son and son-in-law all at once, breaking the rules."

He listened impatiently for a while, and when Xia Gui finished speaking, Jia Sidao patted his knee and said: "You are right, but the matter is urgent. He said that Li Ni promoted some muddy legs to generals, Marshal, is there any age limit and order?"

Xia Guidao: "That's why it is said that Li Ni broke the rules, and we need to attack him later. Therefore, Li Ni is unpopular, and the heroes of the Central Plains are not willing to attach themselves to him."

"Hehehe."

Jia Sidao smiled perfunctorily, thinking of the dispute with Li Xia many years ago.

At that time, Li Xia chose a seemingly more difficult path. It was extremely difficult to smash and reshape the entire dynasty; at that time, Jia Sidao chose a more promising path, standing at the pinnacle of power in the Song Dynasty. In charge of state affairs.

But now, Li Xia's Northern Expedition, the Central Plains clan who refused to obey him in the past can only watch the wind and surrender, and cut their own power, because Li Xia is already a person who sets the rules.

And he, Jia Sidao, is still living in the rules of the Song Dynasty...

"Ping Zhanggong, Ping Zhanggong."

"What's the matter? Didn't you see that I was discussing important military matters with Marshal Xia?!"

"It's not good! Tang army reinforcements have arrived..."

Jia Sidao was not surprised, and said: "Stop them, don't let the Kuizhou defenders see that there are reinforcements."

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid they can't be stopped, they have already crashed into our defense line..."

"What did you say?"

Jia Sidao stood up, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard the sound of collision in the distance, and the plank under his feet began to shake.

He froze for a moment, then turned to look at Xia Gui, wanting to question why he didn't take strict precautions.

Xia Gui stood up and shouted: "Hurry up! Disperse the fleet quickly, don't let the Tang army set fire to the ship, disperse!"
