The struggle of the reborn prince

Although Xu is old, he doesn't have dementia. He knows how many catties his navy has, and he might not be able to survive even one round with the Song army. The gap in strength is too big, and he can only use his brain to make up for it . ?happy?read?Novel.2.c During the battle of Yaozhou, when they discovered that the Song fleet had entered the mouth of the Liaohe River, they immediately scuttled the large ships they had prepared to block the waterway. This was the most convenient and effective way. The army was afraid that a few water ghosts would sneak into the water and place gunpowder on the sunken ship, and they would easily blow up the sunken ship to pieces, dredging the river, and the warship easily passed this obstacle.

And those river-blocking cables that took a lot of effort to pull up failed to stop the advance of the Song Army Navy. They either bombarded or sent engineers to land to destroy the cables easily, which did not play their due role at all. .As for the fortresses built along the river, the Song army didn't pay attention at all. They sent several warships to bombard them and flatten them.Some people also tried to use fire attack to retreat the enemy, but the river was vast and straight, the Song army could easily find the target, and they were sunk before they got close to the fire boat.

All traditional methods have ended in failure, and Song Shuijun seems to be unable to resist.However, under the powerful appearance of the Xu Yan Song Army, it is not without weaknesses. Their warships are tall and powerful, and they can freely travel in the endless sea, circling and colliding at will, giving full play to their advantages.But rivers and rivers are different. Warships are huge, and the draft is bound to be deep. Navigation is limited by the waterway and water depth. Any random intrusion will touch the beach and run aground, and the combat power will be greatly reduced.

In addition, the Song navy's actions this time are not based on water warfare, but to escort the landing troops. In this way, the number of transport ships far exceeds that of combat ships, and the firepower of the transport ships is weak.Poor protection is the most vulnerable target.As long as the transport fleet is killed, the Song army will lose a large number of troops and lose the ability to land and fight.The navy alone will definitely not be able to defeat Liaoyang City...

'Weihu' is a small reconnaissance ship. Since it is not the main combat ship, it is only equipped with self-defense weapons, and its combat effectiveness is relatively weak. It is no problem to deal with a few enemy ships.And its location was extremely unfavorable, and in order to ensure the readiness of the measurement, the sail was lowered and the anchor stopped the ship, but the river was narrow, and it could not move for a while.The situation is extremely critical.

More than ten golden troops rushed out from the reeds and river branches. These warships were all small walkers, rowed by eight pairs of paddlers, and each boat carried more than [-] soldiers. They swam like gulls on the water at a very high speed. , turned around flexibly, rushed to the river and quickly spread out to surround them from all sides, because the distance is very close.The archers on the ship immediately opened their bows and fired arrows as soon as they came into range, and several sailors on the bow deck immediately shot.

'Da da...' After receiving the alarm, the machine gun installed on the ship tower opened fire first, and fired at the enemy ship pouring out from the right side. The dense ammunition scattered on the small boat and swept the enemy troops into the water.The bullet pierced the bottom of the ship, and the speed slowed down, but the firepower of a machine gun could not prevent other enemy ships from approaching.The situation remains critical.

The rapid-fire guns on the bow of the "Boom" and "Weihu" also fired, and the shotgun shells fired formed a fan.Almost all the sailors on the two enemy ships that were about to attack from the front were killed, and the out-of-control warship spun several times on the river and slowly capsized.But when the gunners reload and adjust the gun position.The enemy warship has rushed into the blind spot of shooting, and the artillery has lost its effect.The mortar at the stern of the ship only had time to tear off the gun cover, but before it could finish loading, the gunner was overturned by a shower of arrows.

The two cannons on the "Weihu" have become decorations one after another. Only the machine guns on the ship's tower are still firing crazily. In the passive situation of being besieged, others used lances to rely on the parapets on both sides to shoot at the approaching enemy ships to prevent the enemy from approaching.At the same time, three red flares were fired in succession to warn the rear fleet to ask for reinforcements.

Although the "Weihu" resisted fiercely, the battle situation was still unfavorable to them, and it was difficult to prevent the enemy from approaching.One is that the Jin army came suddenly and moved quickly, which made the most powerful artillery invalid; the other was that there were only a small number of sailors on board. Except for the indispensable sailors, there were only more than 40 people who could go into battle, and there were more than ten soldiers. Many people were killed or injured under the arrow rain of the Jin army, resulting in insufficient defensive forces after switching to close combat, and they lost sight of the other.

With a loud 'bang', a Jinjun walker hit the starboard side of the 'Weihu'. The hull shook violently and shook violently a few times, but before the ship stabilized, another enemy ship came one after another. Hit, and then Jin Jun threw the hook rope, climbed up the rope, and wanted to board the ship.While the Song army shot and killed the enemy troops who boarded the ship, they gathered their forces to fight the enemy hand-to-hand. However, as the enemy ships continued to approach, more and more Jin troops boarded the ship.Lianzhu gun quickly lost its advantage in close combat, and the gap in strength made it difficult for the Song army to resist, but they still did not give up and retreated into the cabin, relying on the ship building to continue fighting and struggling to support.

"Boom..." There were bursts of artillery fire from far away on the river. Facing the Song army who was fighting to the death, the Jin army could not capture the whole ship for a while, and the battle was stalemate for a while.And listening to the sound of the guns getting closer and closer, they knew that the reinforcements of the Song Shui Army were coming soon. At this time, the horn of the retreat came from the river branch, and the Jin army gave up the attack and disembarked. Of course, they did not forget to read a fire.

When the three Wei-class warships of the Song Navy rushed to the battlefield, the Jin army's warships had long since disappeared, and the "Weihu" was already on fire and tilted to one side, and there were occasional explosions of remaining ammunition. Under the circumstances, it was impossible to board the ship, let alone put out the fire.They could only rescue the sailors who jumped into the water and salvage the bodies scattered in the water. In order to prevent the ship from sinking and blocking the river, they fired several salvos to blow up the part above the waterline of the "Weihu" to pieces, and watched it sink into the water. River bottom...

The news that the "Weihu" was attacked and sank, and most of the officers and soldiers of the ship were killed spread throughout the entire fleet immediately, causing an uproar.Although this is only an auxiliary ship, it is the first time that a large warship has been sunk by the Song Shui Army in battle. It is hard to believe that it was the Jin Guoshui who was wiped out by the entire army he fought. After they entered the Liao River, they escaped without a trace. The army did it, and it was destroyed by the hands of those who looked down on them, but the fact happened that it was true.

Shocked, Ma Wei, commander of the fleet, and Zheng Hai, commander of the Dengzhou Navy, went to inspect the waters where the battle broke out. They visited and questioned the surviving officers and soldiers of the "Weihu" in detail, and outlined the entire battle process.After analysis, they believed that the failure of this battle was due to the weak combat effectiveness of the auxiliary ships themselves, and the problem was that they underestimated the enemy: they entered the enemy's waters to perform missions without sending escort warships, and after arriving in the waters, they rushed off without carefully scouting the enemy's situation. Anchor, not even ready for battle.

After viewing the battlefield, Ma Wei and all the generals believed that the battle was carefully planned by the Jin Guo Navy.The ambush they chose has a narrow river, surrounded by vertical and horizontal waterways, and has good concealment, which can achieve the suddenness of the battle; the target they choose to attack is an auxiliary warship that is separated from the brigade, has weak defenses, and is not strong in combat. He is very aware of the gap in strength between the two sides, and knows how to choose the soft one.

In terms of tactical arrangements, the Jin army did not use larger warships, but chose small warships, which not only allowed them to maneuver quickly to achieve the purpose of raids, but also took advantage of their small size to reduce the chance of being killed.The ambush site is chosen in a place with a narrow river, where they can quickly approach the target and hide in the blind spot of artillery shooting, but they can use their bows and arrows to exert their power.

After the attack is successful, the target is first injured by impact and loses mobility.Then start the battle step by step. After causing casualties and losses to the enemy, you will not be greedy for meritorious service. When you find that the enemy's reinforcements are about to arrive, you will immediately retreat and destroy the enemy's ships so that they cannot be repaired.And this attack also showed that the Jin Guo navy did not flee as they imagined, but was still fighting, and could cause them heavy losses and casualties at any time.

Mawei has participated in and commanded several sea battles and landing battles. He is a commander with rich combat experience. Even in the expedition to the Persian Gulf, he has never suffered such a dark loss. He must be very angry. He can send two fleets Searched up and down along the Liaohe River, but did not find a trace of the Jin army.But the angry sailors flattened several fortresses along the coast, and then dispatched marines to wash them with blood.

However, these retaliatory actions did not seem to scare away the Jinshui Army, but instead aroused their fighting spirit even more. That night, they dispatched small boats to sneak into the bend of the Songshui Army's camp from a narrow river branch under the cover of night, and escaped the warning boats. The surveillance team suddenly broke out and attacked the supply fleet with rockets, causing chaos and then entered the river branch. The warships of Song Shuijun could not enter and could only bombard them in the direction of their escape, but there was nothing they could do.

In the next few days, the Song army strengthened its night vigilance, and the ships also sent additional lookout posts.The Jin army, who repeated the old tricks, failed to infiltrate the security circle again, but made the Song army lose their strength. They would shoot and fire as soon as they found out that there was a movement. Everyone is exhausted.

Ma Wei knew that the Jinshui Army wanted to prevent the fleet from going north and destroy their plan to attack Liaoyang Mansion, but the military situation was so hot that he didn't have time to play hide-and-seek with them here, so he could only hold back for a while, even if he had to pay a certain price It is also necessary to rush to Liaoyang City as soon as possible, in order to complete the strategic mission assigned by the emperor.He ordered the main warships of the water war to open the way and wipe out the intercepted golden army. The harassment of the water army should only be expelled, not to fight with them... (To be continued...)
