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

Chapter 163 victory or defeat
July is full of fire, the weather is getting cooler, the wind and rain are gradually subsided, and the weather is dry, everyone can happily start the war.

The Taihu Lake Basin was completely calm, and Guan Da finally sailed into Wujiang with his five-toothed warship, and Yin Shihong, Li Sen and other Qianshui will accompany them in the boat.

At this time, outside the Yangtze River estuary, more than [-] ships from the Song and Yuan Dynasties were approaching at great speed.

Both sides circled for two days, but failed to gain the upper wind, so they had to fight with crosswinds at the same time.

On the flagship of the Yuan army, Zhang Xuan shouted: "Brothers, revenge is now."

There were very few people who responded.

He was promoted to Ten Thousand Households, and all the brothers under him were promoted. At this time, most of the people on board were soldiers from the imperial court, but they didn't know that he was full of resentment.

Of course, as the deputy general, Ma Hongwen continued: "The thieves in the south have many lucky ships. This battle will be won without a doubt. I am afraid that thousands of households will wear golden tiger talismans."

"The kindness of the imperial court cannot be repaid by death. Today I destroyed the Southern Pirates Marine Division, and then I went to attack the Five-Toothed Ship." Zhang Xuan said, "Tell brothers, you are here to become a marquis, don't miss it."

In a few words, the ship in front was approaching.

There is no rain of arrows, only thunder rolling from the sky.

The seagull that was looking for food was frightened and just spread its wings and took off into the air. Unexpectedly, a thunderbolt exploded in the sky and beat the seagull into a sieve.

The soldiers on both sides suffered little damage. They all hid in the cabins below the deck and fired at each other. It was difficult for the sky mines to break through the deck.

After calming down, I realized that the sky thunder was so powerless against sea ships.

Seeing this, Qian Yi said: "Send orders to all ships to throw fire oil cans first, and then thunder."

When the order came out, each ship immediately changed its arrows.

Inspired by the sky thunder, the fire oil tank was also changed to a ballista firing mode, but the range was [-]% closer than the sky thunder arrow.

The ships of the Song army rushed forward for a certain distance against the sky thunder, and then shot the fire oil cans at the Yuan ship.

The sand boat is stable, with a score of [-] out of [-], while the lucky boat is swaying, with a score of [-] out of [-]. The difference is quite obvious.

Zhang Xuan, however, was immersed in the pleasure of the thunder and couldn't extricate himself. He didn't notice anything unusual at all, but the generals who engaged in the battle did.

Regardless of whether they are merchants or pirates, they all make a living at sea. Who doesn’t know the power of kerosene?Immediately send troops to cover it with sand.

But as soon as the Yuan soldiers came out of the cabin, thunder fell. After a loud noise, there were heavy casualties, and flames rose.

"Quick, retreat, go and destroy the country!" Yuan generals shouted one after another.

"Hold on, don't let the Tartars escape." The Song army pursued them closely.

If someone came out to put out the fire, they used thunder from the sky, and if no one came out to put out the fire, they used kerosene. Within a moment, more than 30 Yuan ships turned into torches, and Yuan soldiers jumped into the water one after another.

Fire and water are merciless. Everyone knows how to swim. There is a chance to swim ashore, but there is absolutely no chance in a fire boat.

Zhang Xuan woke up from a dream and yelled viciously: "Send the order and throw the fire oil cans. Those who retreat will harm their families!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were boats from the Song Dynasty approaching from the left and right. At the same time, they shot fire oil arrows, followed by thunder arrows, and the boat immediately caught fire.

"Quickly, order all ships to come to help!" Zhang Xuan shouted immediately.

It's just that the flag bearer was blown over and the order couldn't be sent out. Even if the order could be sent out, it would be useless.

"Run!" This was the only thought in Yuan Jiang's mind.

I thought that with the thunder, even if it couldn't be crushed, it would still be half a pound, but I never expected that the southern thief had a new trick, and it was so hateful.

Among them, the big and small pirates who came to Zhaoan came here for wealth and were determined not to fight for the imperial court. If they fell into a disadvantage at this time, they would of course escape.

More than 50 pirate ships ran away, and the warships with maritime merchant backgrounds lost heart and immediately dispersed.

Qian Yi did not pursue them, but only entangled more than 60 Yuan officer ships, not giving them a chance to escape.

From noon to evening, when the last yuan ship sank to the bottom of the sea, Qian Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Rescue the injured, and then fish out those who fell into the water."

Our side sank more than ten ships and injured more than 30 ships. It was not easy. However, the Yuan army lost four times that, which was already a great victory.

The Song boats dispersed and began to salvage those who fell into the water. Regardless of the Song soldiers and Yuan soldiers, we had to fish them all out. "Hey, stop swimming, grab the rope and come up."

Zhang Xuan was startled, and without looking back at Song Chuan behind him, he plunged into the water and started swimming.

"I don't know what to do."

"Looking at how skilled this guy is, I'm afraid he's not a powerful person, so he can't be let go."

"Search carefully, the crossbowmen are ready, and shoot as soon as they appear."

Zhang Xuan swam for a while and felt almost out of breath. He immediately surfaced, took a deep breath and immediately sank, leaving Song Jun's arrows in vain.

As long as you persist until dark, you will definitely be able to escape.

At this time, the Wuya ship had traveled fifty miles, and it still had more than two hundred miles to enter the Wujiang estuary, which would take about a day and night.

A large army was stationed on the bank of the Yangtze River. Jiang Wanzai walked to the river and carefully inspected the terrain of Dingjiazhou.

After looking at it for a long time, Jiang Wanzai said: "Such an important road must be guarded by troops. Tomorrow, an army will be sent to the island to establish a military stronghold."

"I'm just afraid of harassment by the Tartar navy." Fang Xing said.

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Xindao: "The river here is not wide. We can build huge pontoons to connect the river banks."

Dingjiazhou is three miles wide, about one or two miles away from the south bank, but four or five miles away from the north bank. The Song army can indeed build a pontoon bridge.

"It's just that the place is dilapidated and it's not easy to recruit civilians." Fang Xing sighed with emotion.

Jiang Xindao: "For the long-term plan, a military stronghold must be built to protect the south bank."

Jiang Wanzai ignored the discussion between the two and was about to walk back when he felt something hard under his feet, as if there was something there.

He took the spear from the guard's hand and fiddled with it, revealing a helmet that must have been rusted.

Everyone looked silent.

After the Yuan army captured Ezhou, Boyan led more than 10 water and infantry troops to march eastward along the Yangtze River. Although his advance was fast, it was not as fast as the Song generals who surrendered.

As soon as Boyan arrived in Jiujiang, Fan Wenhu from the lower reaches of Zhinankang Army and Zhianqing Prefecture came to surrender.

At that time, the Song army still had fighting strength. The regent, Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing, ordered Prime Minister Jia Sidao to supervise the army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. He supervised 13 road troops and 2500 warships, and marched westward to fight the Yuan army.

However, Jia Sidao did not dare to fight and demanded peace, and sent back the Yuan army prisoners of war first to show his sincerity.

Boyan refused to make peace, but Liu Zheng died again, and Jia Sidao just supervised the army to prepare for war.

He ordered the infantry commander Sun Huchen to line up 7 elite troops on both sides of the Yangtze River in Dingjiazhou. Xia Gui deployed 2500 warships across the river and led the rear army to station in Lugang.

Boyan led the army, first harassed the tired Song army day and night, and then used infantry and cavalry to attack along both sides of the river. He ordered the warships to attack with synchronized cavalry forces, and bombarded them with artillery.

The forward general Jiang Caifang engaged the Yuan army, but Sun Huchen abandoned the formation and fled first. The armies collapsed. A Shu led thousands of warships to break into the Song formation and attack the Song ships.

Xia Gui was afraid that Governor Jia Sidao would win and be blamed for the defeat of Ezhou, so he fled without fighting. When Jia Sidao heard about it, he was shocked and panicked. He hurriedly paid money to withdraw his troops and fled to Yangzhou by boat.

As a result, the Song army was defeated, and the Yuan army chased and killed them, killing the Song army and unable to fight again.

Later, Zhang Shijie fought a naval battle in Jiaoshan as a land battle, which was also due to the loss of too many elite naval troops.

Then, Sun Huchen and Xia Gui were promoted and reused, and Jia Sidao was killed on the way to exile.

From the bottom of my heart, it is simply unreasonable for Song Ting to operate like this and to destroy the country.

"If I had supported His Majesty in ascending the throne, why would I be here now?" Fang Xing broke the silence with emotion.

"Now that the matter has come to this, I should work hard to repay you." Jiang Wanzai said.

People who have experienced many victories and defeats will naturally not dwell on the past and immediately arrange military affairs after returning to the military camp.
