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

Chapter 252 Night Battle
"Brothers, in the fierce battle the day before yesterday, our country suffered a lot of casualties, and the Song army also had a hard time.

Now the Song army regards me as nothing and marches across the river. We are deeply favored by the country, how can we..." Sanmu was impassioned, but the Yuan soldiers had no reaction.

In the final analysis, it is the soldiers who are fighting tooth and nail, and the supervisors are inherently annoying.

It doesn't matter, San Mu waved his hand, and soldiers immediately came out carrying the box.

Great reward!

Soldiers eat food and work for money. When they see real money, Yuan soldiers immediately cheer up.

"Brothers, each of you has one tael of silver to defeat Shen Nanbing and get an additional reward of five taels!
If there is a capture, a southern soldier's head will cost one tael, and a ship will cost a hundred taels. Regardless of the generals and soldiers, they will all be rewarded. " Sanmu shouted.

"The general is mighty!" the soldiers shouted loudly.

If we had done this earlier, we might have sunk the Song Army the day before yesterday. Why did we need to wait until today?
Sanmu wanted to kill Song Jun with a lot of money as soon as possible, but it was not easy to get money. If it weren't for his father Li Heng, who was almost the same as the clan king, the bureaucrats from all over the country would never give him the 2 taels of silver.

That's a lot of money.

If this works, it is enough to push someone to the high position of the Sixth Minister. If it falls under the eyes of Kublai Khan, it is possible for him to become a minister.

In short, thanks to San Mu's efforts, the whole Jiangbei Province of Henan was really bleeding.

Watching the soldiers happily queuing up to receive the money, after getting the money, those with families sent the money back, and those who had enough to eat and the whole family went to spend it.

There are military prostitutes in the water village, and there is a one-stop service provided by the army and merchants outside. As long as you have money, you can always have a good time.

This method is the simplest and crudest, but it has an immediate effect in boosting morale.

At night, the Yuan army sent out patrols again.

The Yuan army needs to accurately grasp the progress of the Song army. If there is an opportunity, of course they must harass them.

When they got closer, they found that the lights on the river were brightly lit, but it was the Song Army who was working all night without any cover-up.

"Straight bitch, are these southern barbarians all stubborn?"

"It can't be that you are made of iron, and you don't even take a break."

"They also had a lot of casualties. How much did Zhao pay them to work so hard?"

Yuan Bing cursed and didn't understand Song Bing's behavior.

If it is not a desperate situation, it is an iron rule to give rest after the war, unless more money is added.

Seeing the arrival of the Yuan Army patrol, the Song Army's guard ship immediately pressed forward.

"Retreat!" Hundreds of households of the Yuan army shouted and immediately retreated.

The Song army had cannons on its boats, so the Yuan army would not fight head-on.

After receiving the report, San Mu asked Zhang Yu to send troops immediately.

This is the new tactic they discussed. They use the darkness as a cover to engage in close combat and give full play to the advantage of the Yuan army's large number of soldiers and ships.

It has to be said that Zhang Yu and Sanmu Blind Cat encountered a dead mouse and found the correct way to deal with the enemy with superior firepower.

At the third watch, all the Yuan troops came out of camp.

The soldiers were fascinated by the white money and their morale was high, but the ships were not in good condition.

Many of the Song Army's five-toothed ships were damaged, and the Yuan Army's ships were naturally uncomfortable as they basically had holes. If they had not known that the Song Army was also in bad shape, they would have to at least double the number of ships before the Yuan Army could go into battle.

After a while, the Yuan soldiers came close, and they rushed towards the Song army without paying attention to their formation.

Boom boom~
The artillery roared, and the two sides quickly approached while firing at each other.

As San Mu expected, the artillery hit rate in the dark was extremely low, and many Yuan ships successfully escaped the bombardment and crashed directly into Song ships.

"Kill~" the Yuan soldiers shouted, jumping onto Song's boat and stabbing with their spears. The Song soldiers on the opposite side refused to evade and rushed towards them with short knives.

"Kill!" Yuan Bing increased his strength and stabbed Song Bing in the chest with a gun. However, there was no sound, but a clang, and the tip of the gun slid away.

Straight girl thief actually wears armor!Before Yuan Bing could finish his thoughts, Song Bing had already pounced on him, slashed with his knife, and his intestines flowed out.

Without even looking at the surviving Yuan soldier, the Song soldier pounced on another Yuan soldier again.

The small boat jumped to the gang, not to mention the formation, it was a brave fight.

It's just that the Song army didn't respect martial ethics, so they all wore armor.

"Are they all crazy?" Zhang Yu felt incredible.Despite the brutality of the fighting, there were actually far more people who fell into the water than were killed.

Not to mention the iron armor weighing tens of kilograms, it will sink when it enters the water. Leather armor will not absorb water any lighter than iron armor. No matter you are a white stripe in the waves or a river dragon, you will all drown at the bottom of the water.

When he got closer, Zhang Yu discovered the clues.

The Song soldiers who fell into the water were actually standing on the water, still fighting with swords and guns.

This is not scientific.

Water masters can tread water and walk as if on flat ground, but this is only a small part, most of them still use their hands and feet. This is the case for most Song soldiers today, and it is definitely not a technical problem.

After watching for a while, Zhang Yu found that there was something wrong with Song Jun's armor.

"Hook up that body!" Zhang Yu ordered.

They hooked the corpse onto the boat with hooks, then took the armor and handed it to Zhang Yu.

"Tengjia!" Zhang Yu was startled and said, "Mingjinshou..."

"Marshal, you can't do that." The guard advised: "The supervisory army is right behind. If you leave right now, you cannot absolve yourself of the blame."

"How can you just watch the men being slaughtered!" Zhang Yu's eyes widened angrily.

Massacre is out of the question, but victory is certain.

Just like the duel between the two men just now, the Yuan soldiers' spears were ineffective and they were killed by the Song soldiers on the spot.

The protective power of rattan armor is not inferior to that of iron armor, and what is even more rare is that it does not sink when it falls into the water, so it has become the trump card of the Song Army navy.

Not standard.

It is also not easy to make rattan armor.

Select old vines, repair them and dry them hard, then soak them in tung oil, dry and soak them. Repeat this process, and it will take a year and a half to prepare the materials. The finished armor must be stored in a humid environment and not too humid.

It's very troublesome, and the total cost is much higher than leather armor.

Because of this, the Yuan army never considered Tengjia.

At this time, the Song army fought more and more fiercely, and the Yuan army was already timid.

"The loose wood mislead me!" Zhang Yu said fiercely and ordered the troops to withdraw their troops.

It was easy to come, but not easy to leave. The Song army followed them and chased them away.

Both are against the current, and the performance of the boats is about the same. The specific speed depends on how well the oars are rowed.

The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty were panicked. Not only were their strength much weaker, but their coordination was also chaotic. However, the morale of the Song army was high and the ships were really flying.

Yuan soldiers were killed one by one, Yuan ships were emptied one after another, and the Song army's advantage became more and more obvious.

Seeing that something was going wrong, Zhang Yu looked at his personal guard and asked, "Sanlang, do you dare to go to the Song army?"

"Marshal?" Zhang Sanlang was puzzled.

"Go and ask Dalang if he has defected to the Song army. If that is the case, I will no longer serve you." Zhang Yu gritted his teeth.

This battle was exhausting.

If Sanmu hadn't been so aggressive, he might not have discovered that the Song army was equipped with rattan armor. When the fire ships opened the way, it would be the Yuan army's turn to overwhelm the Song army and fight.

It's just that it's useless to talk about it now. Zhang Yu is naturally thinking about the future.

Zhang Sanlang did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

He was born into a family and relied on the Zhang family, so he naturally followed his lead.

Surrendering is also a very risky thing, because you don't know whether the enemy on the opposite side will get mad and kill you with a single blow on the head.

At dawn, the two sides entangled themselves at the water stronghold of the Yuan army. The Yuan army on Jiuning Mountain provided artillery support, and the Song army finally retreated with gold.

Zhang Yu took a brief look and saw that more than a thousand ships came back hundreds of times. It really stopped ten times and stopped nine times.

Now, no matter how much money Sanmu throws out, they can no longer boost morale.
