Chapter 51 One Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers Arrive at Luoyang III
"I'm here to send a message. Lord Yunlang's navy will be here soon," Ye Xiner murmured in a low voice.
Yun Zheng was overjoyed, but then became curious: "Even if this is the case, why are you here to summon me?"
Ye Xiner's little mouth curled up: "Because the princess sister asked me to tell my husband a big event."
Yunzheng asked: "What's the matter?"
Ye Xiner curled her lips: "My lord, the newly arrived princess from Liao Kingdom has arrived in Yanjing and is now buying a villa for the boss to live there, waiting for you to go over and marry her."
Yun Zheng's heart was moved. Could it be that Yan'er is jealous? Thinking about it, it seems unlikely. Although women can be jealous, judging from Yan'er's temper, even if she is really wronged in her heart, she will definitely not show it now.
----------------------------------------Yunlang's navy has indeed arrived, but it's just the Yellow River
Now that winter has come, the water flow has reduced, and there is no room for giant sea-going warships. All that can come in are medium-sized warships. Of course, even so, the navy's strength is still quite strong, and the navy's artillery has now been replaced with new ones.
, although the accuracy of guns is still very bad, the accuracy of naval battleships' artillery even in the battleship era still depends on luck. Even during World War II, people said that naval battles cannot be hit accurately. One-third of the accuracy of naval battleships depends on luck. What's more,
There is no advanced fire control system today, and no one can even calculate ballistics. Accuracy depends on experience and luck.
The Puppet Mengjin Navy came out immediately after getting the news. They knew that this was the reason why Yunzheng stopped on the other side of the river for a few days. The key to Mengjin being a dangerous pass was that if the opponent attacked by force, the terrain here would have a huge advantage. But if
The opponent's navy suppressed the garrison here. At that time, it would not be difficult for the enemy to cross south.
However, the troublesome thing is that they found that their naval forces were not as good as the Yun Family Army's elite navy forces. It turned out that the Yun Family Army was able to expedition to Japan and Korea. Sure enough, they didn't do it just because they wanted to do it. They did have a foundation. This navy army
That's what they rely on
Wang Jin suddenly had a plan in his mind and said to the navy generals: "Although the thieves are powerful, it doesn't matter. I have my own clever plan." Then he told his clever plan. When the generals heard it, they burst out laughing.
A general praised the cleverness of this plan and said with a smile: "The deputy commander's plan is very clever. The Northern Xinjiang rebel army is called the Imperial Court Jingnan, and it is the true sect of Taizu. It just depends on how they deal with it."
--------------------------------------------- "Since ancient times, the only difficulty was death, but now it is more difficult than death."
It’s still difficult!”
Yun Lang was so angry that he slapped the table and said angrily. His subordinates, who were already panicking, were also gearing up: "You all point out, do it! How can anyone be so cowardly? He put up a portrait of Emperor Taizu on a spiritual tablet.
Are we going to have to hang up and get beaten?"
"Sir! We can't fight, we can't fight!" Xu Longping, the captain of the Haihu, kept blowing in his ears: "It's no child's play to refer to adults. In today's patriarchal world, filial piety comes first, and no one dares to risk the world.
Can you compare with Kong Sheng in terms of taboos? If you go out with a barrage of bombardment and blow up the portrait of Taizu and the memorial tablet of the spiritual leader, you are committing the crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan!
Your Excellency treats your subordinates with care and love, and treats them as confidants, so I have to say something disrespectful to you. If you continue to fire this cannon, the new emperor in the south will definitely be happy, but no matter how happy he is, he will eventually have to
Let the commander-in-chief chop off your head, my lord, we’d better retreat first and either think of a proper way out or report it to the commander-in-chief before we make a decision.”
Yun Lang's lungs were about to burst with anger at this moment, and he yelled angrily: "Are we just going to let them block our ship with such arrogance? If they put the portrait of Emperor Taizu on their shields and weapons, wouldn't they be able to dominate the world?
No one can beat me?"
Xu Longping said hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir. He dares to wrap the portrait of Taizu on the murder weapon. That is disrespectful. They don't dare to do such a thing. In fact, we are still doing the same now..."
"Boom!" A stone thrown on the side of their ship caused a rumble. Xu Longping shook off the water drops on his body and continued: "Actually, we can still fire now, but we can't hit the portrait of Taizu. This battle was fought
How can we still win if our hands are tied?
If we lose a few battleships, we will lose more than we gain by sailing instead of sailing. We will suffer a great loss. They have many people on board. Once they come close, we will not be able to move. It is not possible to use all the new battleships that have been built so easily.
Did you give it to them for free?"
Yunlang stamped his feet. Seeing the opponent's warship getting closer and closer, he said angrily: "Come here, lower the muzzle of the gun. Be careful. Don't shoot too high. You have to hit him with a few shots no matter what. It's better to sink a few."
Ship, ***, I’m going to be suffocated in this battle.”
"Boom, boom, boom," the cannons of the Yun Family Navy began to roar. The Yun Family Navy's new cannons were different from usual, and even different from those of the Jiang Family Navy in the south. The Yun Family Navy's artillery fire rate and accuracy were far better than those of the Jiang Family Navy in the south.
The opponent, at first, shocked the Puppet Navy, thinking that the Northern Navy had gone crazy and didn't care about Taizu's spiritual tablets and portraits. However, they discovered that the opponent had lowered the muzzle of the cannon very low, and many shells were fired directly into the water.
Here, I couldn’t help laughing out loud
With such a distance and density of artillery fire, if you rush over forcefully, although you will still win in the end, it is inevitable that several warships will be hit and cause damage to the shipwrecks.
At this time, the commander of the water battle was originally a big water pirate in Dongting Lake who was recruited. He was used to dealing with officers, soldiers, and official ships. He had rich experience in water battles and was by no means mediocre. He immediately used his usual tactics, dropped anchor, and stopped everything.
The big ship then waved the flag and ordered the smaller boats to attack
In an instant, more than a hundred net shuttle boats rushed out like ants. This kind of warship is shaped like a shuttle, with embroidered masts and wooden sails. Each boat has only three or four people. It is equipped with firecrackers, bows and arrows. If a large ship is attacked by these
If you get entangled in a small boat, it will be like a swarm of ants gnawing at an elephant. It is very difficult to entangle.
In addition, there are also dozens of eagle ships with pointed heads that are difficult to distinguish from head to tail, advancing and retreating like flying, and dozens of chain ships and mother-child ships. Under the cover of shuttle ships, these ships are all beneficial to inland water, rivers and lakes.
Small warships for combat, especially serial ships and carrier ships
The captain of the chain was only four feet long. It was actually two ships connected by iron rings. The front ship had a huge inverted iron nail on the bow. The ship carried fireballs, poisonous smoke balls, and fire and thunder bombs. The back ship carried firecrackers for soldiers.
Cover with bows and arrows. Once it collides with an enemy ship, iron nails must be driven into the enemy ship to make it difficult to escape. At this time, you can untie the iron ring and ignite various firearms, and then drive the rear ship away quickly, while the front ship is set on fire.
Explode, blow apart the side of the opponent's ship
The role of the mother ship is similar to its role, but its appearance is different. It is a large ship wrapping a small boat. The large ship is loaded with ignition and explosive objects. After being nailed to the enemy ship, the small ship sails away, leaving the large ship to ignite the enemy ship.
Yun Lang and others are all smart. There are so many small boats coming, and the speed of the new artillery is too late to deal with them. Moreover, the opponent's large ships cannot be attacked. If they are unable to deal with these small boats, they have to guard against the artillery on the large ships. In desperation,
, Yunlang could only roar: "Withdraw!"
The Yun family's navy has a strong fighting force, but the artillery can't hit the paper portraits. They can only retreat with hatred. What sounds unbelievable in modern times, but at the time it was logical, a courtesy, a filial piety, plus the royal family
In order to maintain the supreme dignity and supreme authority of the emperor, the emperor must be deified and irreversible. The political needs of the late emperor resulted in such a bizarre war scene.
The puppet naval commander Xiao Desheng proudly ordered the red dragon boat, Cangshan boat, and wheel boat to catch up, and finally the three-masted gunboat and the lucky boat. Just after chasing for a while, "Boom!" A huge roar arose on the water.
The water column shook the average medium-sized warship, and a big hole was broken in the side of the ship, and the cold river water rushed in.
Not a moment later, there was another explosion on the side of the ship. The Yun family's navy was retreating and they didn't see them firing their cannons at all. What was going on? Xiao Desheng was shocked. He found that light ships could sail past safely, but the one in front of them couldn't.
The two bombed ships were both deep-draft warships.
His heart moved, and he immediately ordered the fleet to slow down, and then moved several small boats over to investigate. He found that the explosion site was indeed underwater, and the river water was pouring in rapidly. The hulls of the two warships had tilted, so he quickly dispatched several small boats to meet the ships.
people come down
He had heard that the Yun Family Navy had developed a new type of weapon called a mine, which could attack enemy ships underwater. Unfortunately, the court had exhausted all possible means at that time. This weapon was classified as top secret in the Yun Family Military Research Institute.
I've never gotten it, I guess it's this kind of thing
This posed a great psychological threat to the puppet navy. If there were enemy ships ahead, these desperadoes would dare to attack even if they braved artillery fire. But now the enemy is invisible and intangible, and you have to attack it every moment.
Beware of being hit by him at all times. Even if there are only one or two enemies like this, no one can stand it.
The soldiers on the land of the imperial court were from military families, while the navy were mostly bandits who had been recruited from several major rivers. At the moment, the ships of the puppet navy were mostly filled with roosters and dog thieves. Although they were best at doing evil things, it was really disappointing.
They came up with a way to temporarily stop the boat, go to the houses of fishermen on both sides of the strait, grab dozens of fishing nets, connect the nets together, put heavy objects on them, and then drag the boats across the river to carry out drag-net demining.
The ship is following behind. It is safer now, but it is traveling as fast as a turtle crawling.
But there was no other way, so they could only stop and go like a tourist, stopping from time to time to clean up the rags they blocked and the occasional mines they caught, mending the tattered fishing nets with ropes, and then
move on
Because Yunlang came to fight in the inland river, he didn't put down a few mines at all. Putting these things down would be like destroying the golden waterway. Once the war is over, it will be too difficult to clean up the entire river. By then, those who rely on the river to make a living will not know what to do.
Tens of thousands of people starved to death, so he only laid four mines as a trick to deceive Beijing, and then fled.
But when the report of his defeat was conveyed to Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng became angry all of a sudden, saying angrily: "You can stop Yun Lang, the commander of the navy, with such a small trick? Come here! Tell Yun Zheng
Lang, as long as... like this, it will be easy to defeat the thief!"
