Chapter 237
Before dawn, Shi Jun came out in armor and stood at the mouth of Sanjiang.

The soldiers boarded the ships one after another, a total of more than 31 people, [-] large ships and more than [-] small boats.

Fang Yankai watched the battle, with a little bitterness on his face, after answering Mao, he turned and walked towards the river.

"Zhengshu, did Li Feiyu agree to you directly?"

Behind him, Shi Jun asked.

Fang Yankai turned around and said, "Yes, Feiyu's military training was originally to fight against the Mongolian army, so he took care of the overall situation."

"That's good, don't worry anymore, you will win today, let's go."

Shi Junben was a little worried that Fang Yankai wouldn't be able to command the five hundred river patrolmen in Qingfu County, seeing that he didn't mention any difficulties, he didn't say anything more.

As for Li Xia, he still didn't like it very much.

That young man always gave him a feeling of "disregarding the rules"...

~~
Fang Yankai boarded the boat, stood beside Li Xia, and sighed deeply again, as if reminding him that "Zhizhou doesn't appreciate you".

Li Xia didn't care, he appreciated Shi Jun, but he didn't need Shi Jun's appreciation.

It is also anti-Mongolian. What Shi Jun wants is to protect the environment and the people, and then the Song Dynasty will be stable; Li Xia believes that if the Song Dynasty is not broken and a new dynasty is built, the world will perish.

Fundamentally, it is a person whose position is completely opposite, why seek the other party's approval?

The first time we met at the state office, Li Xia was neither humble nor overbearing, which displeased Shi Jun; but if he was humble, Shi Jun would only hate him even more.

In Li Xia's view, pleasing others is useless.No one can please everyone, and that's normal.

If you want to rebel, you shouldn't ask for the appreciation of the loyal officials of the Song Dynasty, just keep it from them.

But to hide it from Shi Jun, Fang Yankai is the best way to cover it up.

……

"I kept it a secret for you." Fang Yankai said, "Zhizhou thought that the Jiang patrolman was still under my control, and I didn't know that you killed Zhang Yuanming."

"Thanks."

"But I don't understand why you act like this." Fang Yankai said, "Why do you hold on to Xunjiang?"

Li Xia looked up at Fan, but didn't answer, as if he was listening to the wind.

Today is not only smooth with the water, but also with the wind. The wind blows from the west, making the sails roar fiercely.

Fang Yankai said: "The county has deducted this year's autumn tax to organize and train these people. After this battle, they will not be able to stay any longer, so they have never joined the army. If you embezzle the wealth of the Zhang family, you are training private soldiers and forcing them to join the army." Let me hide this from the State Department...why?"

Li Xia was silent for a while, and finally said: "I once told Bao San that it would be strange to see me as a county lieutenant doing these things, but if I were Shu Shuai, would you see if these actions are still strange?"

"You want to be Shu Shuai?" Fang Yankai looked up at the Yangtze River and murmured, "The ambition is lofty."

"After today's battle, whether it is successful or not, Shi Zhizhou will not be in office for too long. What will happen in Syria in the future, do you want to bet on the next Zhizhou, or would you like us soldiers to keep one side safe?"

"Never thought about it."

"Think slowly."

Fang Yankai said: "I was forced by you...you said not long ago that you would not force me."

"Two things." Li Xia said: "I promised not to force you to hand over the power of master book, but I never said that I would let you touch my soldiers. This is my bottom line, don't touch it."

"Do you know why I hid it for you?"

"I just said that you were forced by me."

"I just thought of something... Since you have already guessed Zhizhou's attitude, you could have brought no one here, but you still came."

Li Xia said: "It's right to attack Wuliang Hetai, you can give it a go."

"Shu Shuai...you can't become Shu Shuai just by fighting Mongolia, but your ambition is commendable."

"The landlord only needs to help me win this battle, don't think too much."

Fang Yankai smiled wryly.

He has always been an assistant official since he became an official. Last year, Jiang Chundu, the county magistrate, was quite strong. It was not until Jiang Chun saw his term of office was approaching this year, and the two had a tacit understanding, that he gradually looked like a chief official.

In the end, a more powerful county lieutenant came.

"I hope this battle can be won. I also want to make a great contribution and transfer to another party."

While talking, the Syrian army has set off, marching towards the front of the Mongolian army...

~~
"The monkeys on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains."

The small fleet has no luggage, light boats and few people, and is heading downstream quickly...

Liu Jinsuo got a little seasick.

It was the first time for him to take such a fast boat.

Among the five squad leaders, Liu Jinsuo was the weakest in the water battle, so Li Xia chose to be on his boat, and Yu Tian and other twenty people were also there.

Yu Tian had participated in the battle of the Mahu River, so he had some understanding of water warfare. He stood aside and whispered to Liu Jinsuo how to command the soldiers to operate the boat.

Until the afternoon, from a distance, I suddenly saw rows of boats on the river ahead, as well as cavalry marching on the bank.

Liu Jinsuo was startled, and murmured: "There are so many people!"

Looking back at Yu Tian again, he saw that his face was also pale.

"Are you afraid?"

"It's all our captured boats." Yu Tian murmured...

Li Xia turned his head, glanced at Liu Jinsuo and the others, and somewhat understood why Shi Jun wanted to arrange the 500 people from Qingfu County in the rear.

The Xuzhou defenders had seen the Mongolian army in battle, and they did not panic when they were in battle; the river patrolmen in Qingfu County were different. No matter how brave they were, hearing and seeing 3 people with their own eyes felt completely different.

Thinking about it this way, Shi Jun was able to drive 3000 people to pursue 3 people, and he was very capable of running the army.

Song used civil officials to rule the army, but at this time of peril, some civil officials who could fight were really able to come out. Only Li Xia now knows Yu Jie, Jia Sidao, Yi Shiying, Shi Jun... Thinking about this matter, he also has a lot of confidence in Song Dynasty. The death is quite emotional.

This battle was hasty, both sides were a little confused, and Li Xia was not commanding, he did not occupy the best position to see the overall situation.

Only Shi Jun gave orders on the building boat.

In a flash of thought, Li Xia saw Shi Jun's flag waving in front of him, and he ordered the former army to ram into the Wulianghetai army without hesitation!
The wind was strong and the river was surging. The Mongolian soldiers in front swarmed the river like a huge monster, but the Syrian army did not slow down.

Li Xia couldn't help but appreciate it.

Even if the positions are different, he still appreciates Shi Jun's bravery, and is sincerely willing to help him win this battle.

……

The ships were getting closer and closer, and gradually the large formation of the Mongolian army could no longer be seen.

There was a loud bang, and it was the battleship from Syria colliding with the Mongolian navy.

Li Xia looked around and could only see the boat ahead.

"Slow down." Fang Yankai stood beside Li Xia, looked at the flag on Shi Jun's battleship, and reminded him in a low voice.

Li Xia ordered according to her words.

He knew that he was not as good as Fang Yankai in the matter of looking at Shi Jun's banner, but he stubbornly refused to hand over the command and not allow anyone to touch his soldiers, preferring to let Fang Yankai master it like this.

"The front army shoots arrows, and the rear army fires cannons!"

"Cannon!"

There was a killing cry coming from the front.

On Li Xia's boat was a small gun mount.

Instead of stones, fireballs of porcelain caltrops were thrown.

Hurriedly advancing the army and attacking with light boats, Shi Jun obviously couldn't carry the stones, so Shi Jun moved out all the remaining firearms in Syria.

There are many firearms on the Mongolian and Song battlefields today, but this is the first time Li Xia saw them on the battlefield, because Wulianghetai came from Dali and carried very few firearms; Qingfu and Junlianzhou are small places.

Porcelain caltrop fireballs are actually "ceramic bombs", which look like sea urchins, with black powder and iron blade fragments in a round porcelain jar, and reverse thorns on the shell.Light the fuse and throw it from the gun mount to explode on enemy positions.

And there are rockets on the ships in front, that is, cannons are tied to the arrows, ignited and shot out.

……

As a modern person, Li Xia is very good at fencing, swimming, rock climbing, basketball, badminton and many other sports, but he knows nothing about firearms.

His chemistry and physics are terrible. He has only heard the names of black powder and yellow powder, and does not understand the difference.

If you ask him how to make firearms, he doesn't know as much as Shi Jun.

All he can say is that "firearms are useful, very useful, and if we continue to research, we may be able to make guns", that's all.

Li Xia also studied the porcelain tribulus fireball when he saw it for the first time, and found that he could not make any improvements. Finally, he said, "The gunpowder formula in it, try it later, and see how it is more powerful."

At that time, Fang Yankai rebuked him, saying "Huoqifang has tried it."

Li Xia is not annoyed, he knows that firearms can be developed, even without the knowledge of later generations, but they can rely on the wisdom of the Chinese people, the wisdom of the four great inventions to change the world.

……

"put!"

On the swaying deck, one by one soldiers held porcelain caltrop fireballs, ignited the fuses, and placed them in the gun pockets, and the soldiers yelled and pulled down the gun tip forcefully.

The artillery passed the Syrian Army warships in front and hit the Mongolian Army ships.

"Boom!" The sound of the explosion came back.

"Boom!" There was a ship colliding in front of them, and there was a battle on board, and the shouts of killing sounded.

There was the sound of a horse neighing on the bank, followed by arrows raining down...
