The struggle of the reborn prince

Xu Wen swung his army forward, wanting to annihilate the Song Army's transport fleet in one fell swoop, making it lose its offensive follow-up ability, but when he discovered the first salvo fired by the Song Army, he felt that things had changed, because as far as he knew the Song Army Even if the army's transport ship is equipped with self-defense artillery, it is impossible to shoot such a dense barrage.But the arrows were already on the string and had to be fired. He ordered the only [-] or so large warships of the Jin army in the rear to speed up and counterattack with their equipped trebuchets and bed crossbows, suppressing the Song army'limited' artillery.

The trebuchets equipped on the warships of the Jin Army can throw stones, and can also throw firearms such as thunderbolts. Although the power of the explosion is relatively small, there are many flammable and fuming objects in them, which will cause a fire after hitting the target.The bed crossbow is the most powerful long-range weapon in the Cold War era. It has a long range and great power. If it hits an ordinary warship, it will inevitably penetrate it. If it hits the keel, the ship may be destroyed and people will die.In the absence of Xu Wen's artillery, these two weapons are indeed extremely powerful weapons, and they still pose a great threat to Song Shuijun.

The Song army had already discovered the stone throwing machine on the large warship of the Jin army, and listed it as a key target, so it was attacked immediately after it moved forward and entered the range.The Weizi-class warships of the Song Army were generally equipped with [-] broadside guns, [-] on each side. Now more than [-] warships of the Chinese Army are distributed on the river for several miles, and a salvo is [-] cannons firing at the same time.Under the unified dispatch, they fired at the enemy ships in turn, among which the flowering ammunition and solid ammunition were used alternately to kill and injure the hull and personnel respectively.Several warships of the Jin Army rushing forward were covered by artillery fire. In a blink of an eye, the masts were broken, and the ships were destroyed.

When the warships of the Jin Army were hit, regardless of whether they entered the range or not, the trebuchets and bed crossbows were also fired together. For a while, artillery stones flew in the air, and guns and arrows shuttled.However, the equipment of the two armies was far behind by an era after all. The power, range and rate of fire of the artillery were not comparable to those of the stone throwing machine and the bed crossbow. They were so suppressed that when they fired a stone and an arrow, they would be bombarded by ten or even dozens of shells.

In order to avoid the dense artillery fire of the Song army, the large warship of the Jin army had to turn left and right in the battle formation, but forgot that there were still its little brothers under its feet.The small boats also felt the danger. Wherever these big ships went, the Song Army's artillery shells fell there, scaring them away from far away, which completely exposed them to the Song Army's vision.

Seeing the fierce artillery fire from the Song Army, Xu Wen, who had been suspicious for a long time, finally concluded that he had fallen into a trap. He would seek death if he confronted the Song Army head-on, but when he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of his own boat to turn around, he retreated to the back of the river branch and the sandbar. At that time, he announced that he had no way to go, and all the confluence points of the three rivers were blocked by the warships of the Song army, leaving only one way to escape to the lower reaches of the Liaohe River, and there may still be a chance to turn defeat into victory here.

Song Jun played such a big trick, disguising his main warship as a transport fleet to hit himself hard, then their transport fleet must be in a state of no protection, if they can mobilize a force to take advantage of the situation It must be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.His boat was small and fast, and it was going down the current. Xu Wen thought that he would be out of the range of the Song army's artillery soon.

After Xu Wen figured it out, he quickly ordered the remaining large warships to launch a desperate attack, rushing up to ram the Song Army warships, and at the same time entangled the enemy with small warships to buy time for himself to change his strategy.Everyone knows that rushing up and stalking the Song army at this moment will never return. Fortunately, Xu Wen is usually well-mannered, and this "victory" against the Song water army has given him great prestige among the soldiers. And he also distributed all the rewarded property to the soldiers, which made the soldiers willing to work for them and allowed him to implement his plan.

Seeing that the battle had entered a stalemate, Xu Wen led an army quietly moved backwards and left the battlefield, and suddenly turned to drive downstream.But the entire battlefield was under the surveillance of the Song army, and it was impossible for more than a hundred boats and loach boats to rush out of the fire circle without attracting attention, and the news quickly spread to the flagship.Ma Wei was shocked when he heard that the transport ship and the baggage ship were all at the Heye Wharf, completely without the escort of warships. Even if there were cavalry troops to join the guard, it would be difficult to withstand the impact of hundreds of Jin army warships. As long as a few ships break through the defensive circle, it will cause a devastating blow to the transport fleet.

"This Xu Dadao really has a few tricks. He actually made him guess our empty door." Ma Wei had to admire Xu Wen's ability to respond, and thought of a way to turn defeat into victory when he was at a disadvantage.

"Marshal, let's go after them! It would be bad if they broke into Heye." Zheng Hai said anxiously.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up. Now the battle is in a hurry, and it is easy to be attacked by enemy ships when turning. Besides, they are going down the river very fast. They will disappear after we finish adjusting." Tian Yang said with a wry smile.

"Tune the Jiangling water army to pursue immediately, and we will end the battle as soon as possible and return to the rescue!" Ma Wei looked at the fierce battle on the battlefield, those golden army warships that broke through the blockade of the barrage and broke into the blind spot of artillery shooting, but were greeted by Jiangling The navy easily destroyed and captured them, and secretly scolded himself for forgetting them, and immediately issued an order.

"Commander, the enemy army has more than a hundred warships, and the Jiangling navy only has thirty warships. There is a huge difference in the number. Can it be done?" Zheng Hai said worriedly.

"Don't underestimate people, just wait for them to give Xu Dadao's head!" Ma Wei patted Zheng Hai's shoulder and said...

Although Du Feng won the opportunity to participate in the war through his own efforts, he was still a side drum role. He was completely unable to use his strengths to catch those miscellaneous fish that escaped the net under artillery fire, and he was naturally dissatisfied.But it's hard to do, and with the current battle situation, they really don't have anything to do.

"Commander, good news, the commander ordered us to chase down the enemy troops fleeing downstream!" Guan Tong reported to Du Feng.

"Oh, that's great!" Du Feng said in a daze, "Inform all the ships to join forces and pursue them in an array of sharp arrows."

Seeing the signal from the flagship, the ships of the Jiangling navy scattered all over the battlefield immediately moved closer to the flagship. Under the dispatch of the command flag, the three warships formed a group, and the three groups formed a wing. The flagship was formed as the front, and the other three The group cruised back and forth in response, and quickly formed an array in the assembly.After the flagship of the fleet gave the signal that it was ready to set off, the Jiangling navy ships hung their sails and hoisted their battle flags. With the sound of drums, the sailors of all the ships stepped on the oars in unison, and gradually accelerated to chase south.

Although both the Song and Jin armies dispatched small warships at the moment, there was still a gap between them.The walking boats of the Jin army were mainly driven by human-powered oars, with a single sail as auxiliary power; while the Song army's vehicles and boats were driven by pedaling wheels with main and auxiliary sails as auxiliary power.The fact that the arms cannot twist the thighs is enough to explain the gap between the two. The efficiency of the paddles of the paddle is several times higher than that of a single paddle, and the speed is naturally much faster.

Although the Jin army took a step first, they could not travel more than five miles. The Jiangling navy could already see their tails, and they also spotted the pursuers, and their speed suddenly increased.Du Feng ordered the footman to be replaced, and increased his speed to catch up with all his strength. The bow of the warship was high, as if flying close to the water.

"Change the formation to meet the enemy, use a three-way column to insert from the left flank of the enemy, divide the enemy formation, and intercept the enemy ship in a roundabout." As the speed increased, the warship was ups and downs on the water surface, and the turbulence became more severe, while Du Feng stood firmly The deck is not affected at all, and the broken enemy ship has entered the range of their bow guns at this moment.

The 'Boom' vanguard ship fired first, but they did not use solid bullets, but shotgun shells. Hundreds of small projectiles spewed out from the muzzle in a fan-shaped manner, and the sailors on the enemy ship in front were swept away like fallen leaves, losing their helmsman The walking speed of some paddlers dropped sharply, and the distance between the two armies also narrowed again.

"Why did they come so fast?" Xu Wen looked back and said with some doubts. Based on his experience, it was difficult for Song Shuijun's warships to catch up with him when there was no strong wind. But now, in just two moments, his rear army has entered Their artillery was out of range, which meant that the distance between the two armies was less than three hundred paces.

"Du Shuai, the enemy intends to insert from our left flank and divide our army, how should we deal with it?" the lieutenant general reported.

"After it enters our battle formation, each ship collides at the right time, shoots at its oarsmen with a volley of bows and crossbows, and then crosses the boat and fights." Xu Wenlue ordered after a moment of pondering. Now that the ships of the two armies are similar in size, he does not believe that he will meet them in the collision. Suffering a disadvantage, but playing more and playing less can still take advantage.

However, the Song army didn't seem to give them a chance. The warship rushed out from the side and then hit it from the side. The strong impact generated by the speed made Qiantu's triangular angle of attack deeply penetrate the ship's side, and then stepped back. After the boats retreated, the river flooded in instantly, and the golden boat broke and sank in a blink of an eye as it entered and retreated.And when the golden boat behind accelerated and rushed up to hit their stern, it was hit by fierce machine gun fire head-on first, and it started to move forward again while it was dodging, and their artillery and machine guns were not idle. As long as you get a shot, you will be finished.Those archers had just bent their bows and set their arrows, when the rain of bullets had already swept across their faces, there was no chance to shoot them.

The Jiangling water army punched and kicked out from the right wing of the Jin Army fleet, and then launched another attack from right to left, making a big "zigzag" and disrupting the entire Jin Army fleet. The formation was scattered, the formation was scattered, the losses were heavy, and the marching speed was greatly reduced.But they didn't stop, constantly changing their formations, either forming a horizontal line, or forming a column, or using small groups to attack and encircle the enemy time and time again, making full use of their speed advantage.

Although the Jin army also wanted to fight back, but just as they were in the right posture, the Song army's warship passed by like a dragonfly, leaving them with a bloody rain... r1152
