Chapter 249 Bullying

The sun rises in the east, the sky is bright, and the water surface of the Yellow River seems to be plated with gold, which is very gorgeous.

Liu Guojie's eyes were red and his face was gloomy.

Ha'erha failed to return. How could he not know that it was more dangerous than bad? Now he only hopes to be captured by the Song army, so that there is still a chance of exchange.

But he didn't know that the Song army kept no prisoners at all, and killed all of them regardless of whether they had the strength to fight back.

At this point, it was useless to think too much, so Liu Guojie led a large force into the wooden pile area.

Small boats shuttle around at will, while big boats follow established routes. They are not well-trained and will most likely collide with other boats.

After twists and turns, the Yuan army reached the middle of the obstacle area.

The backlight was dazzling, and Liu Guojie couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked straight to the east.

Downstream, the Song Army's five-toothed ship lay across the water, surrounded by gunboats and numerous small boats.

"Straight bitch, you go too far to bully others!" Liu Guojie scolded.

The two sides faced off for more than ten days. Occasionally, the Yuan army would rush out of the obstacle area and fight with the Song army for a while. Because the Wuya big ship did not come, the two sides were evenly matched.

The current situation is like being unable to defeat the parents and calling in the parents. Of course Liu Guojie is very angry.

No matter how angry you are, you can only hold it in. The Yuan army once had a five-toothed ship, but they didn't cherish it.

On the big five-tooth ship, the flag was waving, and the boat carrying the water ghosts struggled upwards into the wooden pile area.

Of course, Liu Guojie couldn't bear to ignore himself so much. While sending the Clippers back to the camp to ask for support, he let the headquarters move forward.

On the Wuya big ship, Guan Da held up his telescope and said: "Instruct all ships to prepare and ensure the safety of the water ghosts."

Last night, a patrol of the Yuan army was completely wiped out. It was just a small victory, insignificant, but the task of sawing wood piles was not satisfactory.

Unable to see at night, the water ghosts waste most of their diving time looking for wooden piles, which is extremely inefficient.

If you want to open up the Yellow River before the army arrives, you have to work around the clock.

So Guan Da launched the five-toothed ship, intending to overwhelm the enemy with force.

Liu Guojie knew the power of the Wuya big ship, but he thought he had gunboats that could fight, so he led his troops forward.

After a moment, the Yuan ship entered the firing range, and the Song ship opened fire one after another.

Suddenly, the water column on the river soared into the sky. The small fishing boats that were not hit were overturned in the river. The small boats below the level of sterns were hit and basically ended up being torn apart.

However, the hit rate was not high. The first round of forty guns only sank two ships.

The Yuan army was unwilling to be beaten and immediately retaliated. However, their artillery had insufficient range and all failed.

"Thirty cannons, the advantage is mine!" Tang Yongqin heard the number from the sound of the Yuan army's cannons.

Even though the Yuan army also fired in batches, the number was still not as large as that of the Song army. What's more, he could see clearly that two or three artillery pieces fired at the same time on more than ten Yuan ships.

"The general's artillery focused on the enemy's gunboats, and the tiger's crouching artillery covered the water ghosts." Guan Da immediately made adjustments.

It's just that the order was given too late, and the Yuan army had already retreated.

The range is not as good as that of others, the number is not as good as that of others, and perhaps the power is much worse. Liu Guojie would only hit it hard when his head was filled with water.

At noon, when the Song army advanced more than 100 steps, Zhang Yu led the main force and arrived.

Looking around, the river was completely dark.

More than two thousand large and small warships, with two hundred artillery pieces, and three thousand wooden platoons helped turn the river into land.

Liu Guojie told the intelligence and asked: "Marshal, do you want to attack?"

"The armies have been preparing for a long time. They have long been thinking of revenge. It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let the Song army know how powerful it is today!" Zhang Yu waved his hand and issued the order for a decisive battle.

Guan Da gets what he wants.If you want to fight Xuzhou, you must sink the navy of the Yuan army. Otherwise, there will be a steady stream of support from the north.

Moreover, he has 220 warships, 130 general guns, and [-] tiger crouching guns, especially the indestructible five-tooth ship. The Yuan army is nothing.

The two sides made up their minds, and the decisive battle on the Yellow River began.

It was a bit hasty, but the battlefield is like this. No matter how good the plan is, it is not as good as a change of ideas, not to mention that the Yuan army has no plan.

It sounds incredible, but it is true.

The Song army has already arrived at the city, but the Yuan army has no strategic plan. If annihilating the Song navy is considered a strategic plan, then there is still one.

Seeing the Yuan army getting closer and closer, Guan Da took back the water ghost and silently calculated the distance.

However, the Yuan army had not yet entered the shooting range, so the soldiers on the raft lit firewood and jumped into the water, letting the raft drift down with the waves.

Fire attack is the best choice for water battles. Even if it cannot burn the opponent's ships, it can still disrupt the opponent's formation and create enough advantages for one's own side.

Generally speaking, the fire attack depends on the direction of the wind, or it is to occupy the upper reaches. Now that there is no wind, of course the upper reaches will take advantage.

The Song army used its ships and cannons to bully others, and the Yuan army retaliated with its advantages in the upper reaches. Both of them gave full play to their own advantages.

For a moment, flames shot up from the river, making people think they were on the Flame Mountain.

Guan Datou was not strong, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army retreats, avoids the fire attack, and then counterattacks."

The flag was waved, and the sailors of each boat immediately rowed in opposite directions and retreated downstream.

More than a thousand rows of fires cover the river, but they will go out sometimes, so don't worry.

The Song army retreated, but the Yuan army pursued them.

Most of the gunboats' guns are arranged on the sides, with at most one gun at the head and tail. The retreating Song army is at its weakest firepower. If we don't fight at this time, how long will it take?

The speed of the fleet has always been determined by the slowest ship. There is no doubt that the giant five-toothed ship on the river greatly slowed down the Song army. Soon, the Yuan army entered the shooting range.

The Song ship opened fire, but it only had eleven cannons. Although it damaged a Huanghu ship, it did not help the overall situation.

Seeing that the Yuan army was getting closer and closer, Guan Da immediately decided to line up his ships to meet the enemy.

The hull of the ship had just been leveled, and Yuan Chuan had already opened fire first.

bang~
The Wuya big ship was hit by a cannon, and a big hole opened in the hull.

"The gunboats counterattack and send the sky thunderers to clear out the fireships!" Guan Da calmly ordered.

Boom boom~
For a time, the river surged and smoke filled the air.

The fire platoon passed through the gunpowder smoke and reached the front. The Song Army's boat met them, and the sky thunder hand threw the sky thunder over.

Boom~
The fire platoon was torn apart on the spot and turned into burning wood. The threat was almost non-existent.

Of course Yuan Jun wouldn't just watch.

More fire platoons were released, the warships moved forward under the cover of the fire platoon, and the crossbow trebuchets opened fire at the same time.

The Song army also had the means to move forward on a small boat carrying the Crouching Tiger Cannon. While avoiding the fire platoon with flexible maneuvers, it poured artillery fire on the Yuan ship.

The general's cannon can hit small boats one at a time, but the squatting tiger cannon is difficult to sink because its ammunition is shotgun, finger-sized iron sand bullets.

However, the soldiers on the ship died, and the warship was naturally no longer a threat.

The shells of the Crouching Tiger Cannon are enough to penetrate the ship wall. When the number is accumulated, the damage is considerable.

The Yuan army had no small cannons, and the power of trebuchets and crossbows should not be underestimated. If they took one shot, the boat would most likely be destroyed.

For a time, both sides were going back and forth, killing each other like crazy.
