At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 121 Good Ship (please subscribe)

"It's over. The officers and soldiers are back. What should we do?"

"Cold salad!"

"Stop talking, pack your bags quickly."

"Everyone is here, how can we get out?"

"How are you doing? Look at the supervisors outside. Can you beat them?"

In panic, Yuan Jun gathered his things and talked quietly.

This time Li Heng did not hesitate. When he heard that the Song army had set off, he immediately ordered a retreat.

It doesn't matter if the troops in the headquarters are strong or not, they are all from the north and can leave as soon as they want. However, the navy army is mostly recruited locally and they don't want to leave.

At this time, Liu Guojie came in with a team of people, and shouted: "There are all of them, go out and gather, and set off immediately."

"Ten thousand households." Captain Li Tong said with a smile: "The food, grass, soldiers and armor have not been loaded on the ship yet. Do you want to wait a moment longer?"

Clang~
puff~
Liu Guojie drew his knife, cut off Li Tong's neck, and shouted: "Those who delay the military plane, kill!"

The troops were frightened and did not dare to delay, so they quickly got out of their tents and boarded the boats.

Liu Guojie neither searched the camp nor counted the number of people. He only shouted: "Light the fire. Don't leave any tiles for the Song army."

The guards on the left and right immediately scattered out, first carrying the brazier to the tent, and then using the torch. Within a moment, flames shot into the sky.

"No, the thieves are going to run away!" Chen Baitiao was startled, looking at the hundreds of boats left and right, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Brothers, follow me in and make sure to keep the thieves behind!"

"Commander, do you want to wait for the rear army?" Deputy General Ran Guang said.

"After waiting for an hour, the thieves have already escaped. Follow me and fight in!" After saying that, Chen Baitiao rowed the oar and headed for the Yuan army's water stronghold.

As soon as they arrived at the mouth of the river, they saw more than a hundred ships of the Yuan army coming in order.

They thought that the wooden piles were still in good condition, so they only dared to drive along the designated route, with twists and turns, and the speed was really not fast.

"Kill~" Chen Baitiao raised his javelin and yelled, and immediately opened his bow and arrows.

"No, the army is coming~" Yuan Jun was shocked.

"Kill them, kill them!" Liu Guojie shouted, drew his knife, and shouted: "Those who are timid will be killed without mercy."

"Brothers, go back and put out the fire!"

Liu Guojie just turned around and saw that the man who shouted had already jumped into the water.

The soldiers on the boat looked at each other, said "go" each, and jumped into the water one after another.

In an instant, only about six of the 50 people in the boat were left.

"Mistake!" Liu Guojie secretly complained, and when he saw the soldiers on the nearby ship jumping down like dumplings, he could only grit his teeth and said: "Come on, get ashore and abandon the ship."

Fortunately, both the left and right were able to maneuver the boat, and they got on the shore before the Song army rushed close, and ran away.

Chen Baitiao rushed forward, and just as he raised his javelin, he heard a cry from the other side: "Grandpa, spare your life, surrender."

"Dropped down."

"Grandpa, please forgive me."

There were more than a hundred ships, but only about ten were still fighting, but it was internal strife between Yuan soldiers and supervisors.

After a moment, the shouting stopped, and Yuan Bing fell to his knees, staring at Chen Baitiao dumbfounded.

"Grandpa, grandpa..." The centurion of the Yiyuan soldiers woke up Chen Baitiao and said: "Grandpa, can you let the kids put out the fire? They are either children or relatives..."

"Grandpa, have mercy."

"We can't delay."

Yuan soldiers begged one after another.

"You put out the fire, and I'll go hunt down the arsonist." With these words, Chen Baitiao led the team to hunt down Li Heng.

When we passed through the town, the fire had already illuminated half of the sky. The people were crying and shouting, and they were busy putting out the fire, turning it into a mess.

"I have to kill Li Heng." Chen Baitiao secretly said fiercely.

Just three miles out, there was a sudden tremor underfoot and the boat stopped.

There is no need to get off the boat, and the probe can see a boat faintly under the water surface, obviously the Yuan army deliberately scuttled and blocked the waterway.

It doesn't take much, just three or two, enough for Li Heng to run into Poyang Lake.

"Take your troops back." Chen Baitiao said reluctantly.When he got back to the town, he immediately helped put out the fire, but the fire was too fierce to save. Even though everyone was ignited, most of the town was still burned down.

"Oh my God, how can I live like this?"

"Mother, mother, wake up."

"Erlang, why do you dare to talk to the culprit? You lost your life for no reason."

When Gong Xin arrived, what he saw was this tragic scene of crying and crying.

The Yuan army set fire to the fire, but the people were naturally unwilling to do so. Li Heng did not hesitate and ordered that all who stood in the way should be killed.

More than 600 people from more than 50 households died. Counting those who died in the fire, more than 100 people died.

"Come on, each army will provide dry food and bury pots to cook and feed the people." Gong Xin immediately ordered.

After taking out the dry food, Gong Xin sent out soldiers to search the fire scene, firstly to prevent the resurgence of the fire, and secondly to help the people gather available items.

Fang Xing and Liu Zhu came soon after, and immediately comforted the victims and planned reconstruction. These two were professionals, so Gong Xin concentrated on military affairs, and Chen Baitiao also went to see his trophies.

When they arrived at the mouth of the river, Chen Baitiao heard Ran Guang call out: "Third brother, come quickly. We have a good boat. It's a great day today."

More than a hundred boats were rippling with the waves, and Song soldiers on board were smiling happily.

Chen Baitiao couldn't help but smile and praised: "What a boat!"

Not a good ship.

Needless to say, there are more than ten stern warships, and the yellow copper skin makes people happy to look at them.

The more than 20 fishing boats may seem ordinary, but they are not to be underestimated.

The bow of the fishing boat is small, the tail is wide and the bottom is wide. The wide tail can divert water. The small head and bottom tip greatly reduce the resistance, so it is very fast. It is 5 feet long and can carry 50 people. If the number of troops is reduced, it can be set Ballistas and ballistas are indispensable for casting nets and fishing in water battles.

As for other passenger ships and merchant ships, their quality is generally better than that of the Song Army.

It’s not surprising that the Yuan army struck first and collected all the good ships on the water. The Song army only ate the leftovers. What good could it do?
As for Chen Baitiao himself, his original fishing boat was only seven feet long, and it was difficult to cast a net on the river. Otherwise, how would he be able to practice diving and javelin throwing.

The former is catching fish, and the latter is inserting fish. It cannot be said that it is caused by drinking and gambling.

"Third brother." Qiu Liang came over, nodded and bowed and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, and third brother is still mighty."

He was the centurion who first woke up Chen Baitiao. He originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos and run away, but he recognized that Chen Baitiao and his brother were good brothers, so he stayed.

Chen Baitiao didn't even raise his eyes and asked, "Where is Qiu Dalang?"

Qiu Liang said: "I am on the big boat and he is on the small boat. I think he has already entered Poyang Lake."

Chen Baitiao sneered and said: "Qiu Da is also a famous hero, everyone in the world doesn't want to call him Brother Qiu, but he doesn't want to be a dog."

"In fact, the Tartar dogs give you a lot." Qiu Liang laughed dryly, and then complained: "Asking for people and ships from the imperial court is just empty talk. Who wants to pay attention? The Tartar dogs are better, they will give you hundreds of coins for meeting. Captain of thousands, who Not tempted?"

"It's true." Chen Baitiao didn't deny it.

If you have the ability, you will naturally want to achieve great achievements. However, when you look at the army, you will see that the top is greedy for money and the bottom is afraid of death. It is simply a sinkhole.

If the Yuan army hadn't injured him and Gong Xin had saved his life, Chen Baitiao wouldn't have cared about Song and Yuan fighting him alive or dead.

"Today is different from the past." Fang Xing came over and said, "Nowadays, we are kind to the people and able to employ people. With today's achievements, Brother Chen is definitely a commander. It is also possible to become an independent general."

The generals in the Song Dynasty are similar to the ten thousand households in the Yuan Dynasty. They can have as few as three or two thousand and as many as one, two or thirty thousand.

Chen Baitiao didn't care about this, and only said to Qiu Liang: "Would you like to contact Brother Qiu and serve as an internal response to the army?"

"Except for my unwillingness, this matter is really difficult to handle." Qiu Liang said: "To defend Poyang Lake, Targou has recruited flying tiger warships from the river. It is said that there will be eight of them. With these ships alone... it will be difficult!"

"Flying Tiger Battleship?" Fang Xing didn't understand this and said, "Third brother has captured so many ships, and with a little rectification, it's just a few thousand naval troops, which is not enough for one battle?"

The Flying Tiger Ship has four wheels beside the ship, and each wheel has eight paddles. It is as fast as flying and can advance and retreat freely. It has three layers, a deck of soldiers, a crossbow in the middle, and a ballista and ballista on top.

Although there was no racket pole, there was a collision angle on the bow of the boat, and the stern dared to cross, and it was cut into two pieces on the spot.

Fang Xing was worried after hearing this, and said: "I wanted to take advantage of the victory and restore Poyang Lake in one fell swoop, but I didn't want this to happen. What should I do?"

Chen Baitiao sneered and said: "It's fine if he doesn't come, but if he dares to come, he will never come back, and some methods are used to deal with him."

"Third brother, can you give me some advice?" Fang Xing asked quickly.

"We'll know when the time comes." Chen Baitiao didn't want to show off, but he was too lazy to talk to a layman like Fang Xing.

If we have this time, we might as well collect the boats and sail back to Nanchang County.

His headquarters and later naval forces only had more than 2000 people, and he couldn't even fill half of them. Naturally, he had to be allocated by Prime Minister Wen.
