The artillery pieces at this time were all solid bullets and had no explosive bullets.
Therefore, even if the ship is hit head-on, it is impossible to directly sink the ship. At most, it will make a big hole.
Only by hitting the small boat can it be possible to directly sink the boat.
But that's enough!
At this time, the moon was dark and the cannonballs hit the hull, causing the ship to shake violently!
Although the hit rate was very poor because it was dark night, at least dozens of artillery fires were fired simultaneously on the south side of the river, covering them with shells. Five or six of the dozens of ships were hit at the same time!
Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth protectively and said, "Give me the order to fight back with artillery!"
"yes!"
Soon, artillery pieces were launched from the decks of Beiqi's ships and began to fire back.
It's just that this time they were "raiding" and they didn't bring many artillery. After a few scattered cannon shots, a gunner stumbled up to Zhou Yuanhu, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Major General, our Too few artillery!"
"and…"
"And can't reach them!"
Zhou Yuanhu took a long breath and cursed angrily: "I don't know what the imperial weapons supervisor does for a living!"
Although he cursed, he was also a general after all. He had been learning to fight with the adults in his family since he was a child. He quickly came to his senses and said: "Stop firing, don't worry about their artillery, spread out the formation, and just drive the ship over at full speed." !”
"Southerners are all soft-footed shrimps!"
"As long as we get ashore, we can kill them all immediately!"
After he gave his instructions, all the ships in Northern Qi soon began to disperse and slowly moved towards the south bank of the river!
At this moment, Mr. Shen Yi and Shen on the south bank of the river were standing on a high place, holding a telescope and looking at the situation on the river.
However, at this moment, there were dark clouds covering the moon, and there was really no light source, so he couldn't see clearly at all. After watching for a while, he ordered Xue Wei beside him, and said in a deep voice: "With a cannon strike, as long as the enemy is not stupid, they will definitely disperse by now." Open up, and after a while they will go ashore and the camp will disperse."
Having said this, Mr. Shen paused and said, "How many people do we have here?"
Xue Wei lowered his head without hesitation and said: "Back to Mr. Shen, according to your defense plan, three thousand-household camps are arranged here. If fireworks for help are set off, there are two thousand-household camps that can support us."
Hearing this, Shen Yi suddenly grinned.
"During the day, I kept thinking about where they would attack from. Unexpectedly, they actually chose the place where we have the most people."
】
At this moment, Shen Yi was basically determined.
The original defense plan of the Huaihe Navy, at least the defense plan of the Huai'an section, has definitely been leaked!
Whether it was given to Qi Ren by the Zhao family or leaked accidentally, it has definitely been leaked.
Because at this time, the place with the most troops stationed along the Huaihe River was basically the "weak" place where the Huaihe Navy's defense was originally deployed!
If Shen Yi hadn't changed his formation temporarily, he would have really suffered a big loss this time!
"Three thousand people should be enough."
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and said: "The archers are ready, but don't worry, wait until they land, and then entertain them well!"
Xue Wei grinned, clasped his fists in response, turned around and went down to do his work.
It happened that at this time, a gust of night wind blew the clouds covering the moon aside.
Shen Yi quickly picked up the telescope and took a look at the river.
With the faint moonlight, Shen Yi finally saw clearly, dozens of ships scattered on the Huaihe River!
Some are big and some are small!
Judging from the size of these ships, this leading force should have about 2,000 people!
"OK."
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes and sneered: "There are not too many people, not too many..."
…………
On the Huaihe River, among the dozens of ships from the Northern Qi Dynasty, the faster ones finally approached the south bank!
When the officers and soldiers of the coastal capital on the south bank saw the Qi people landing on the shore, they were so frightened that they were "out of their wits" and dispersed in a puff of smoke.
Finally, the merchant ship under Zhou Yuan's guard also approached the shore.
The "young general" of the Northern Qi generals jumped off the ship and shouted loudly: "Brothers who are coming ashore, line up with shields, form with shields! Cover the brothers who are coming ashore!"
At this time, about a hundred soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty's Southern Army set foot on the land on the south bank of the Huaihe River.
Xue Wei stood on a high place, looking at the Qi people coldly, and was about to wave and order the arrows to be released. Su Ding, who had just got off the warship, was already standing close to Xue Wei. He lowered his head slightly and said: "Commander Wei, It seems like it can wait.”
Xue Wei looked back at him, frowned and said: "Wait a little longer, and their shield formation will be ready!"
"By then, bows and arrows will not be very useful."
Su Ding lowered his head slightly and said, "Commander Wei, they are too scattered."
"Shooting arrows now won't do much damage, and there aren't many people coming ashore right now. If they find something is wrong, they can turn around and leave."
"My subordinate means to wait a little longer."
Su Ding's eyes were fixed on the river bank. With the light of the fire, he could already see some of the scene clearly.
Xue Wei turned around and looked at Su Ding. He nodded slowly at first. Then he hesitated and took out the telescope he regarded as a treasure from his arms. He handed it to Su Ding and said, "Use this to see."
"General Su will give the orders in a moment."
After saying this, he rolled up his sleeves and strode towards Qi Ren.
"I'm going to kill someone!"
Su Ding held the telescope in his hand and looked at Xue Wei's majestic background slowly retreating. He was stunned for a moment, and then sighed silently.
"You hold great power, but you can listen to what others say, and you are so young..."
Su Ding whispered: "I will become a person in the future..."
After saying that, he followed Xue Wei's example, turning a blind eye with a telescope and looking at the battlefield in the distance.
When about five hundred people gathered around Zhou Yuanhu, Su Ding no longer hesitated, waved his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Archers release arrows!"
"Wolf soldiers prepare!"
At this time, Su Ding had been under Xue Wei's command for some time. He was very attentive and already knew everything about the arms in the army.
General Su said slowly: "After five rounds of volleys, the Wolf Soldiers rushed forward immediately!"
"They don't have archers in formation, so they don't need to worry about bows and arrows, and they don't need to bring shields. They just charge forward!"
Su Ding calmly began to issue orders one by one and arrange his soldiers.
He was very careful and basically put all the known troops to use.
Following his order, more than two hundred archers who had been preparing for a long time fired volleys at almost the same time!
The Wolf Soldiers held the Wolf Soldier in their hands, raised their heads and silently counted the rain of arrows above their heads.
first round…
second round…
three…
Four…
five!
After the fifth round of arrow rain, Xue Wei shouted angrily, pulled out the saber from his waist, and shouted: "Brothers, charge forward with me!"
"Kill these Hu Qi bastards!
"
Compared to Su Ding, Xue Wei is the most serious veteran among the coastal capitals!
Even among Ling Su's direct subordinates, except for a few senior members of the Qianhu family, there were very few who dissatisfied with Xue Wei.
At this time, hearing Xue Wei's angry shouts, nearly three hundred wolf soldiers roared in unison, followed behind Xue Wei, and while shouting, they rushed towards Qi Ren who had been shot into chaos by bows and arrows!
At this time, Zhou Yuanhu was protected in the center by a group of shield soldiers. He waited until the fifth round of volleys ended before he had time to stick out his head and take a look at the situation on the battlefield!
At this moment, the moon has poked its head out from the dark clouds!
Under the moonlight, he clearly saw hundreds of southern soldiers, holding strange long-handled weapons, rushing towards him!
Zhou Yuanhu didn't have time to think about it, turned around and shouted angrily: "Brothers, do you remember what I said!"
"Southerners are all soft-footed shrimps!"
He pulled out his saber and gritted his teeth: "Don't be fooled by them! Kill a few of them, and their formation will collapse!"
"
"Making great achievements is just around the corner!"
"Delay them for half an hour, and all the brothers who follow will be able to get ashore!"
Zhou Yuanhu shouted angrily, drew his sword and rushed towards the Wolf Soldiers.
"Kill!"
Accompanied by deafening shouts of death from both sides.
Southern Chen and Northern Qi had been at peace for four years.
finally…
The weapons are up again!
