Chapter 1964 Interlocking, Water and Land Advance (3)
Various ships plowed the blue waves on the surging river, splashing waves, and intertwined arrows. From time to time, soldiers on both sides were shot and killed by arrows. Compared with other naval armies of the Song Dynasty, the Pingjiang Xupu Navy commanded by Shi Jun obviously had more advanced ship equipment.
It is excellent, and the fighting spirit of the sailor squadrons within the establishment is also higher than that of other naval brigades.
After all, the Song Ting Navy, which was originally stationed at key passes along the river waterway, mobilized a considerable part of its troops to assist Yue Fei and other Song troops in annihilating the Dongting Lake Bell counterattack. The Pingjiang Xupu Navy was originally stationed in the waters near the estuary of the Yangtze River, just in case.
Although the elite military brigades that defended the navy of the Qi Dynasty. Mingzhou, Xiuzhou and other Linhai prefectures with naval garrison were lost, the Pingjiang Xupu Navy, which controlled the key pass at the river mouth, could still maintain its combat effectiveness as long as it guarded against the enemy forces in the Jianghuai area to the north.
At any time, the Qi army that captured the coastal water fortress will be forced to retreat at any time because it is alone in the cracks of the enemy's forces, unable to advance on land and water, and to gain a stable foothold.
On the contrary, if the Pingjiang Xupu Navy is destroyed, the Qi Dynasty Navy will exert unscrupulous pressure on the land along the Changzhou, Runzhou, and Jiangningfu waterways of the Yangtze River. The military states in the east of the Liangjiang Road will face pressure from the Qi Dynasty on the water and land.
It must be very precarious!
When the sound of heavy collisions between ships suddenly started, the leading naval forces of both sides were entangled in one place. The water squadrons on the light warships were strong, and a desperate battle between the dead soldiers of the navy was inevitable. Pingjiang
Xu Pu Navy's first attack was not only the flying tiger warship with four wheels, each with eight wheels, and four sailors on the wheels, which made the ship move at such a high speed, it also crashed into the water battle area in front, while Shijun was still shouting at the top of his lungs.
After giving orders, the fleet commanding the rear formation constantly adjusted its formation and galloping angle, with the intention of seizing the upper hand as soon as possible.
Finally, on one side of the surging river, the large warships of both navies were getting closer and closer. The soldiers of the Song Army's water squad shouted loudly, and together they used force to suddenly pull the mast-shaped mast that stood on the deck.
There is a windlass below, and a rope is used to rotate around the axle at the top of the windlass and the hanging rod. The heavy stone hammer hanging in the air is already aimed at the enemy ship. As the windlass suddenly rotates, the heavy stone hammer also immediately points towards the Qi army warship.
It was chiseled down so hard that it was so powerful that it would instantly break it!
Among the Qi Dynasty Baihe navy who was also strangled with the Song army, when the commander Han Kai hissed an order, his vision suddenly went dark. He actually looked at the sledgehammer fired from the crane pole on the opposite enemy ship towards him.
The edge suddenly fell down, and he hurriedly turned sideways to dodge. Suddenly, sawdust exploded and splashed on the deck. Several sailors were caught off guard, and their bones were immediately smashed by the falling stone hammer. The battleship shook violently. If
A light-sized water warfare ship would probably receive one or two heavy blows from the pole, and the hull would be broken and sunk immediately!
When Han Kai stood up tremblingly, he saw a dense barrage of arrows coming towards him. Seeing that he could no longer dodge, Han Kai cursed and had no choice but to block with his blade. However, another shot from Pian Mi Zazajiao
There was a heart-stopping muffled sound of blades penetrating flesh and blood. Several bloody holes were opened all over Han Kai's body. He and a dozen or so Baihe Navy soldiers around him immediately fell into a pool of blood and could no longer get up!
However, how could the Qi Dynasty naval warships not be equipped with such powerful melee weapons in naval battles, which used heavy stone hammers suspended on warships to suddenly slam and smash enemy warships with stone hammers?
The large warships of the Baihe Navy gathered up, more than fifty feet high, and the large shooting poles were placed at the front, rear, left and right sides of the warships. There were also soldiers from the water squad pulling the ropes violently, and the axles rotated.
, the heavy stone hammer hanging on the shooting pole suddenly bombarded and fell towards the Song Army warships. In one fell swoop, several large warships suffered heavy damage and were about to break and sink before their eyes!
Not only were they clapping poles and shelling, both sides exchanged bows and crossbows, and threw firearms. Whether it was the Song Army or the Qi Army, the ships that were hit hard one after another were completely destroyed in the water battle that immediately became fierce. Some warships were immediately torn apart and their hulls were broken.
Pieces of scrap wood were scattered on the river. Many of them were swallowed up by the flames. They couldn't help but rush into the river as quickly as possible to kill the fallen soldiers. However, more soldiers of the water squad were engaged in fierce fighting at long range and short range.
They became corpses lying on the deck, and as the broken warship gradually sank...
It is completely different from the previous battles in rivers, lakes and seas where the Jin army could be pushed into the water and fought to death. Among the Song navy, there are many generals who are very good at water warfare, and water squad soldiers who are good at controlling ships, and they are familiar with each other.
The quality of all kinds of ships in the army was similar. Even though the Qi Dynasty navy had experts such as Ling Zhen, Meng Kang, and Wei Dingguo who devoted themselves to improving artillery, ships, and firearms, the strength of the navy was still different from that of today, and there were many skilled craftsmen over the generations.
Although the supporting Song Army is relatively ahead in some water warfare weapons, it is definitely not able to reach the level of technological crushing at the moment. Since the Pingjiang Xupu Navy commanded by Shi Jun is also well prepared, it is not yet able to form a one-sided crushing force.
Pressure.
Therefore, as the war became more and more intense, the navies of the Qi Dynasty and the Song Dynasty inevitably invested more and more troops in hand-to-hand combat and fought fiercely...
"Kill kill kill kill kill!"
On the ship that had already begun a close-quarters bloody battle, Baihe Navy Commander Wei Zhaode roared loudly, swung his arms, and slashed at the Song Army sailors who were rushing around with his sharp machete.
After hearing a rapid clang of gold and iron, Wei Zhaode chopped the soldiers to the ground one after another and cut them into several pieces. Even soon, more enemy troops climbed onto the ship and pounced on them one after another.
Zhaode was still as powerful as a mad tiger, but the anger on his face became more and more intense. His throat roared, making a sound like a wild beast, and then he started running wildly. The machete in his hand immediately turned into a ball of sharp light,
Howling, he passed over the enemy generals gathered in front of him, and his arms, arms, and heads were chopped off piece by piece, and he had chopped the head of a navy commander and five or six soldiers into bloody corpses!
Although he has finally achieved success and fame, his close brothers who once gathered together at Baihe Water Village on South Beijing Road and then followed Xiao Tang's banner of righteousness and surrendered to Liangshan in Shuibo. Zhang Jingzu and Liu Ti had already forcibly crossed the Yalu River and entered the Jin Dynasty.
He died in the battle in the hinterland of Liaodong, and now the water battle is fierce. The remaining team led by the Han Kai brothers has suffered heavy losses. There has been no response. I am afraid it is also a disaster... Wei Zhao De Hong
His eyes were grinding and his teeth were gnashing, and he could no longer suppress the hatred and rage in his heart. Although he had been a naval officer for a long time, he could only personally pick up the fifty-pound machete he was good at and kill as many people as possible.
Only by resisting the enemy with all your strength can you vent your inner hatred!
"Grass bandits rebel against thieves and rebel against madmen! They surrender to the Xiao thieves, seal the territory and split the land, betray the country, and are so rampant! I don't know that they have committed a heinous crime that cannot be pardoned, but they have violated the country of the Song Dynasty until their flesh and blood are reduced to mud. It is too late to regret it.
!”
On Wei Zhaode's side, Fangzi swung his sword and cut a Song Army naval officer in two. Suddenly he heard someone shouting loudly, and he immediately stared at him with bloodshot eyes. But it was the commander of Pingjiang Xupu Navy.
The commander-in-chief, Shi Jun, was also furious. He held two swords and took the lead, and he also climbed aboard the main ship of the navy.
"The Song Dynasty was stupid and should have died a long time ago! Now I don't care that you are brave and not afraid of death. You can be said to be a man. You are stupid and loyal to the Song Dynasty. You don't know the current affairs and you come to obstruct me. I also swear to take you.
Bird heads, to commemorate the sons and sons of our army who died in battle!"
Wei Zhaode roared angrily, waved the sword with blood dripping from the blade in his hand, and waved his sword at the Baihe Navy Junjian who was fighting to the death and screamed hysterically, also heading towards
Shi Jun and the soldiers of the Song Army's water squad who came up with him to fight to the death rushed straight over!
