my wonderful zoo

Chapter 145 Sweep
In the past few months, the military government's ships have traveled between Guangzhou and Xuzhou, not only transporting a large amount of supplies to Xuzhou, but also greatly increasing the number of ships on this temporary route.

When setting off from Xuzhou City, the number of Chen Jiajun's fleet had reached [-].

Chen Xun took all the horses into the zoo overnight, so as not to have to travel from land to deal with various states and counties of the Song Dynasty.

When boats sail on the Yellow River, you can see that there are basically no people on both sides of the Yellow River along the way.

This phenomenon becomes more serious toward the northwest.

When passing through Dangshan and Yucheng, the Song army sent troops to watch from a distance on the shore.When they arrived in Jiyin County, the spies on the shore reported that the county was completely undefended, with only dead people and some dying hungry people left inside.

Along the way, the huge fleet prevented anyone who dared to cause trouble from coming near, and the entire journey went smoothly.

It wasn't until they entered Dongming County and entered the area under the jurisdiction of the Jin Army that Jin ships came up to intercept them.

But these small boats used on inland rivers are a piece of cake when encountering the large and medium-sized warships coming from the southeast sea area of ​​​​Chen Jiajun.

No artillery was used, just a few rockets fired from the Fangzi Crossbow, and the enemy ships were left to flee in confusion.

As for the transport ships, they were all docked on the river bank, and no one dared to approach them without overestimating their capabilities.

Near the Yellow River Port in the northern part of Dongming County (a simple parking place), all the blessing ships in the fleet stopped. Only some sand ships rushed over and snatched the transport ships docked at the port.

These transport ships had previously transported the Jin army from the north bank to the south bank. The Jin people wanted to return, so they were not destroyed, which just gave Chen Jiajun an advantage.

The southern Fuchuan pointed bottom does not have the ability of flat-bottomed sand boats to wash the beaches. If you want to unload cargo at a simple port on the Yellow River, you must arrange flat-bottomed boat transfers.

Changyuan County and Dongming County are both located on the south bank of the Yellow River. Sun Zheng's three battalions of infantry and one battalion of musketeers were all transferred to the shore at once, which took nearly an hour in total.

At this moment, the Golden Army left behind in Dongming County also reacted and organized two thousand defenders to go out of the city to prepare for the battle.

Chen Xun took a sand boat to the shore, fixed the boat on the shore, set up the pedals, then supported everyone on the boat and entered the cabin alone.

Immediately afterwards, war horses began to gallop out from the cabin of the sand ship one after another.

The speed was very fast and the number was huge. After the soldiers on the shore received the order in advance, when the horses came out, they immediately stepped forward to lead them away, distribute them, and install harnesses on the horses.

This magical scene was also seen by the Jin army who came out of the city. They saw a small sand boat, like a god's bag of heaven and earth. In a quarter of an hour, more than 2000 horses rushed out of the cabin.

This shocking scene was simply a miracle. The Jin soldiers were so frightened that they stopped in place and did not dare to move forward. They could only watch the invading enemy calmly arranging their horses with their eyes.

After all the war horses were "unloaded", Chen Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, only the Musketeers Battalion was staring at the Jin Army. Chen Xun was really afraid that the Jin Army would suddenly rush up and attack him halfway.

Now that all the combatants, horses, and weapons and equipment of the Chen Jiajun have arrived ashore, the outcome of the battle is basically doomed.

Chen Xun did not let the fleet continue to move forward, but chose to stop and watch the battle.

For the first time, his generals were commanding a large-scale battle completely separated from themselves. Chen Xun also wanted to know how far Sun Zheng could do it.

I saw that Sun Zheng on the shore first organized dragoons capable of fighting on horseback, rushed directly to the enemy's position, and began to clear out the enemy's exploration horses and signal troops on the periphery.

A battalion of infantry rode directly to the west, leaving less than 300 people on the frontal battlefield.

The musketeers were in the front, the pikemen and crossbowmen were on the left and right flanks, and five artillery pieces and some grenadiers were on standby in the rear.

After the formation was completed, the Chen Jiajun military formation began to advance.

Amidst the sound of neat slogans, the two armies approached [-] steps, the war drums sounded, and the military formation began to form.

"I didn't expect Sun Zheng to be so good at commanding infantry battles." Lai Qingyun commented next to Chen Xun. "Although Sun Zheng was born in the cavalry army, as a general, when he reaches a certain position, he will definitely break through the limitations of his original arms and begin to develop in the direction of commanding and operating integrated arms." Chen Xun replied: "You must also master the horse as soon as possible. The navy also needs to be involved in the army’s combat command methods.”

……

"Each battalion advances fifty steps!" Sun Zheng ordered loudly.

More than [-] soldiers began to approach the enemy step by step with the sound of drums. The Musketeer Battalion was at the forefront, and the [-] infantry behind them were mainly responsible for guarding the two wings of the Musketeer Battalion.

"Stop moving forward!"

"Stop moving!"…

Orders were passed down from level to level, with the enemy and ourselves seventy paces apart.

The soldiers standing in the front row can already clearly see the faces of the enemies on the opposite side, whether they are nervous, ferocious, fearful, or excited...

"Get ready to shoot!!"

The first round of ammunition had already been loaded when the team was assembled just now. After all the musketeers listened to the order, they all moved the hammers backward until they were caught by the trigger.

"shooting!"! "shooting!"! "shooting!"!
The Jin army was still waiting for Chen Jiajun to continue approaching so that they could fight back with bows and arrows. Unexpectedly, Chen Jiajun started shooting when they were seventy steps away.

At this distance, unless a Hercules archer or a strong crossbow, the archer's projectile is not fatal.

The three-round guns were fired quickly, and the projectiles rushed into the Jin army formation at a speed invisible to the naked eye.The two or three rows of soldiers at the front of the Jin Army formation were immediately shot down one after another, screams and pain rang out, and the Jin Army formation suddenly became chaotic.

"Shoot!" There was another volley of guns. As the front row of golden soldiers reached the ground, the exposed golden soldiers in the rear were shot down again before they could react.

Then, at an interval of a little more than one breath, the volley of guns began to advance round by round, getting closer and closer to the Jin Army's position.

"Shoot!", the command amid the sound of muskets was like a reminder, making the Jin soldiers not know how to react.

General Jin yelled at the soldiers to fight back, and sporadic arrows were shot, either on the land in front of Chen Jiajun's formation, or on the side of Chen Jiajun's sergeants.A small number of arrows were lucky enough to hit Sergeant Chen Jiajun, but they were also blocked by the sergeant's front armor and could not hurt anyone.

"This is lining up to be shot. It's so exciting!" The command has been handed over to the officers in the front row. Sun Zheng was free for a while: "Send the order to the horse army, you can come back."

A loud arrow with a signal flare was shot into the sky, and the signal flare tied to the arrow shaft exploded at the highest point. "

Chirp~~~! !Snapped!Red fireworks explode in the sky, and they can transmit signals far away even during the day.

Soon, the cavalry troops from both capitals circled back from a distance and went straight towards the side and rear of the Jin army's formation.

"Kill!" The sharp saber was pulled out of its sheath and raised high, reflecting the dazzling light in the sun.

In an instant, the Ma Army collided with the chaotic Jin Army. In an instant, a wave of blood surged.The Jin soldiers were knocked into the air, and their severed limbs and blood rushed into the Jin army's formation along with the horse army.

Wherever the horse army passed, the Jin people were either dead, injured, or fled.

"It's over, let the infantry battalion surround us." Sun Zheng breathed a small sigh of relief.

"Yes!" The signal soldier immediately rushed to the front to deliver the order.

"This golden man is not easy to fight, and all the back-ups I arranged are useless." Sun Zheng's tone was slightly arrogant. The guard next to him was amused by the general, but could not refute.

These golden men were indeed too inexperienced to fight. The battalion of infantry sent out in front and the artillery behind the army hadn't played their role yet, and the battle was completely over.
