The struggle of the reborn prince

Vehicles and boats are nothing new in the Song Dynasty, but in history, Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao’s uprising army were used on a large scale in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty. Glory, derived from many models, used in the war with Jin and Yuan. [乐][reading] novel.3.cm But the arrival of Zhao Tun made the world peaceful, and naturally no one started to make troubles. He did not forget about the 'equalization of the rich and the poor', but he did not forget it, and handed it over to the Used by the internal water army.

Of course, Zhao Tong's original intention was just not to let the weapons such as chariots and boats, which once shined brilliantly in military history, be submerged and leave regrets for future generations.As for sending the Nei Shui Army to the front line, his idea was also to protect the safety of the waterway, and he did not expect to use it in a large-scale water battle. Later, letting the Jiangling Water Army participate in the attack on Liaoyang Mansion also intuitively felt that it might come in handy. As for He doesn't know what it's useful for.

Du Feng's words touched the hearts of Ma Wei and the others, but fighting is not just playing tricks, it is killing people. Based on the old principle that hearing is believing, seeing is believing, they decided to review the Jiangling navy the next day , depending on the result is deciding whether to send them to fight the Jinshui Army.The next morning, the Jiangling navy gathered on the river outside Heye Port, and everyone was able to see the true colors of the vehicles and boats carefully.

There are two 'Feilong' class vehicles and ships accompanying the army, one is the flagship of the fleet and the other is an auxiliary ship.The entire ship is twelve feet long and five feet wide, with wheels beside it, eight oars per wheel, which are driven by four people stepping on them.Apart from the ship building, the ship is three stories high. There are two main and auxiliary sails in the club, and a lookout post, which can be driven by sails when there is wind.In wartime, it is driven by human power.Equipped with a bow gun and a stern gun, and two machine guns on each side.Lou Lebu has a machine gun and a crew of 150 people.The main warships are 30 "Flying Tiger" class vehicles and ships.The hull is smaller than the Flying Dragon class, the ship building is two stories high, and there are four wheels beside it. It has a crew of one hundred and ten people. In addition to the gunners, there are also [-] soldiers for boarding and fighting.

Next, the Jiangling water army conducted a drill. Under Du Feng's command, the warships gathered and dispersed, showing the troops various formations such as attack, siege, surprise attack, and cover.Everyone watched the cars and boats come and go like flying on the river, advancing and retreating freely.Where there is still the cowardly appearance at sea, it is not an exaggeration to call it a dragon on the water.In particular, the speed of the vehicles and ships was eye-opening. It was much faster than the warships propelled by the Jin Army's oars, and they would never run away if they were stared at by them.

Everyone is an expert, and they know how much they are when they make a move.After the drill, all the generals were amazed by the superb combat quality of the Jiangling Navy, and their views were reversed, so naturally there was no objection to letting them fight.Of course, the army is even more happy to have them join the escort fleet.At least everyone can sleep peacefully, and they don't have to stare wide-eyed to search for the golden army warships that will come out of nowhere when marching.

On the tenth day of April, after a two-day rest, the fleet of the Song Navy set sail again, although with the trump card of the Jiangling Navy.But they still maintain a high level of combat readiness. The cavalry army boarded the supply ship according to the original plan to strengthen their self-defense capabilities. At this moment, they even hope that the Jinshui army will come to the door quickly.In order to repay the revenge of being plotted by him, and get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.In order not to be distracted to deal with them when the war breaks out.

In the past, the main task of the Jiangling navy was to eliminate water bandits and protect the safety of waterways.I think those people are doing things like murder and robbery.It must be very slick, and it is not easy to catch them, but dealing with them for a long time also makes them a master of tracking and searching, and is good at "counter-guerrilla" operations.But God made fun of these Jiangling water troops who were dedicated to meritorious deeds. The Jin water army suddenly disappeared without a trace.

…………

Liaoyang Mansion was greatly encouraged by Xu's repeated battles with the Song Shui Army. While awarding a heavy reward, he also hinted that he would defeat the Song Army as soon as possible to prevent it from continuing to go north.At this time, the Song Army has passed Heye and is getting closer and closer to Liaoyang City. At this time, the rainy season has come. It only takes a few rains to cause the water level to rise sharply, the waterway will widen, and the Song Army's warships will also get rid of the passive force. The situation makes oneself lose the current advantage.

These unfavorable conditions made Xu feel pressured. He knew his record best. To sink and injure those few warships, it was only a hair injury to the Song army.Now only through a larger-scale operation, it is possible to retreat the Song Army and cause unbearable losses to the Song Army. Concentrate your troops in one place to fight a big battle.

On April [-]th, the Song Army fleet sailed to Sanjiangkou, which was named because it is the confluence of Liaohe River, Lianghe River and Hunhe River.The three rivers intersect to form a vast water surface, which looks calm but undercurrents are surging, and the shoals are densely covered. I don't know how many ships have sunk here, so it is also called "ghosts and sorrows".However, if the Song army wanted to go to Liaoyang, it had to transfer from the Liaohe River to the Lianghe River to get there, and there was no other way.

Just after Yinshi, the weather changed suddenly. After a gust of wind, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and the air was so humid that water could be wrung out, which made people feel very depressing.The Song army's former army had passed, and they sent scout ships to carefully survey the water regime, marked the waterway with buoys, and reported to the army that there was still no trace of the Jin army.

"Du Shuai, the enemy army is here!" There are several sandbars in the river formed by the impact of three rivers, covered with dense reeds, which look like a connected isolated island from a distance. Xu, who was resting on the boat, received a report from the lookout post.

"Well, how far is the distance and what formation is it?" Xu asked without opening his eyes.

"Captain, the head is still more than five miles away from where we are, and we are still sailing in a single file with half sail, escorted by warships, and it has not changed from before." The sentinel reported.

"Hmph, don't forget what to eat, and report it when he turns the corner and enters the Liang River!" Xu Qing snorted. The guarded Song Jun was fortunate and a little disappointed, but this was exactly the result he wanted, making Song Jun at a loss, and giving them a fatal blow when he relaxed his guard.

"Boom..." The approaching warships of the Song army suddenly opened fire and bombarded both sides of the bank. Several shells exploded in front of the sandbar, and the water jets mixed with water plants and sand fell from the sky.

"Du Shuai, have they found us, do you want to attack?" A lieutenant rushed into the cabin and asked anxiously.

"Don't panic, the enemy army is throwing stones to ask the way, testing the truth, otherwise they wouldn't be firing cannons aimlessly like this. If the order goes on, the shells will hit the head and they are not allowed to move without order. Those who disobey the order will be beheaded." Xu sneered. Said that the more the enemy is like this, the more it shows that they have not found their traces, and it also shows that they are guilty.Under Xu's strict order, the Jin army hiding on the sandbar remained dormant, but as expected, the Song army's shelling stopped soon, and continued to move forward along the marked channel, turning east and entering the Liang River.

Xu Ye walked out of the cabin and went up to the ship building to look out over the river. He saw the fleet of the Song army stretching on the river, with masts and masts like forests, breaking through the waves like a long dragon.At this time, because the fleet was going upstream and lowering the sails, the speed of the ship was very slow, which was an excellent opportunity to attack, but he still did not issue an order to attack, but just stared at the river thoughtfully, not knowing what to do. Is he regretting the impulsive fall of gold in a fit of anger, or is he hoping to defeat the Song army and become famous so that the old people know that although his background is low, he is definitely not a worm, and he is a real dragon when he jumps over the dragon gate.

"Send a signal, order the vanguard to launch an attack and intercept the enemy's front team; order the right-wing army to disperse the attack, attract their attention, disrupt their formation, and isolate their transport fleet." Xu saw that the Song Army brigade had already entered In the shoal waters of Lulu Bay, the order to attack was issued.With the sound of long horns, the Jin army hidden in the fork of the Liaohe River and lying on the meadow on the east bank attacked at the same time. More than a hundred ships rushed towards their respective targets, and the prelude to the great war began... (to be continued...)
