what to do? Do you still want to surrender? Are you a Bohai man shameless?
Puluhun glared at the Bohai man, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want to do?"
"I think..." This Bohai native's surname is Gao, and his name is Bodhisattva Nu. He is in his forties and is a navy plotter.
Although he is not young, he joined the feudalist team of the Kingdom of Jin relatively late. When the Jurchens and the Khitans were fighting to the death, he was still running ships on the Bohai Sea to transport grain to the Nanjing Road of Daliao. Later, when the Kingdom of Jin overthrew the Liao Dynasty and established the country, he, a Bohai native, was incorporated into Meng'an, a Bohai native in Jinzhou. It was only when Da Jin Guoxue was running the navy in the Southern Song Dynasty that he was recruited as a navy plotter.
Therefore, he did not experience the bloody chaos of the Liao-Jin War, and did not even actually participate in the Song-Jin War.
Today's battle was still his first battle, so fear and panic were inevitable, and he also knew that the southerners were very powerful... So when he heard Puluhun's question, he subconsciously thought of surrendering to save his life. But when he saw Puluhun's fierce look, he didn't dare to say anything.
While Gao Bodhisattva was hesitating, Puluhun suddenly pulled out his scimitar. When Gao Bodhisattva saw Puluhun drawing the knife, he knew something was wrong. Just when he was about to shout out the only answer that could temporarily save his life, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and he felt severe pain in his neck. Then Gao Bodhisattva I feel like I'm being held in someone's hands...
The scene of Puluhun questioning Gao Bodhisattva and killing him with a knife was witnessed by many sailors and officers on the ship. No one expected that Puluhun was so ruthless. They all exclaimed and looked at Puluhun in shock. muddy.
Puluhun held up Gao Bodhisattva's head and shouted: "Today's battle is related to the rise and fall of Dajin and the safety of our family... Whoever dares to hesitate will fight Gao Bodhisattva." Normally, I will kill you immediately without mercy!”
After saying these words, Puluhun pointed the scimitar in his hand towards the bridgehead that was converted from the fishing village, and roared: "The big barrel of the southerners must be placed there... We just need to rush up, Seizing the southerner's big tube will achieve great success. The emperor and Banbo Jilie will definitely be richly rewarded!
Gentlemen, are you willing to go with me to get this wealth? "
When asking questions, Puluhun also held the head of Gao Bodhisattva high. He is a famous Jurchen general who has been famous for a long time. He has always had prestige and is very good at running and leading troops. Now he kills people to establish his authority. Of course, the people below him were suppressed by him and they had no choice but to shout in unison: "I am willing to follow you." Fight to the death!"
Puluhun nodded and said loudly: "Command all the ships to follow this ten thousand households... lift the anchor, beat the drum, move the stern of the ship forward, and rush for me!"
...
"Commander, the golden thief actually refused to surrender, and even pushed the butt of the boat forward to attack our bridgehead!"
A staff officer next to Niu Gao had already seen the warships on the Baigou River anchoring and paddling. Without wasting time to turn, they directly used the stern of the ship to move forward in the direction of the Song Army's bridgehead.
"court death!"
Niu Gao cursed in a low voice, then took a red flag from a soldier beside him, held it high in the air, paused briefly, and waved it down.
As the red flag was waved, the two artillery groups composed of twenty-eight cannons suddenly shook at the same time. The fire burst out first, followed by the thunderous sound of cannons, and the smoke filled the air. In the blink of an eye, twenty-eight cannons were fired. A shot of shotgun sprayed out of the muzzle!
It turned out that Niu Gao really wanted to seize a few "ditch battleships". These ships were much better than the small fishing boats in the hands of the Song Army. They were all large ships worth hundreds of materials.
As for the Nanjing Road section of the Kingdom of Jin, inland water transportation was also very convenient during this period. The water system in this area, with Baigou River and Sanggan River as the main trunks, forms a dense water network. Daxing Fucheng is located in the center of this water network.
The Kingdom of Jin also realized the role of these rivers around Daxing Mansion, so it collected all the large ships on Nanjing Road and Hebei Road early.
Moreover, because the Yellow River changed its course again to the south, it also cut off the waterway from Kaifeng Prefecture to Hebei Road, so the Song army was unable to sail large ships south of the Yellow River to the Nanjing Road of the Jin Kingdom.
Therefore, when the Song army with a lot of equipment entered Jin Nanjing Road, which was crisscrossed by rivers and had a poor mass base, logistics and transportation became a big trouble.
These ditch warships of the Jin people should be specially built for the waterway of Nanjing Road. If you grab ten or twenty large ships, you can transport thousands of stones of supplies to Daxingfu City at a time!
...
Niugao's artillery was divided into two artillery groups, one artillery group had 12 cannons. First, he concentrated his firepower to bombard a large ship at the end of the Jin's "Shuigou Fleet" formation. The other artillery group has 16 cannons, all of which are aimed at a large ship at the front of the Jinren Shuigou fleet formation - the channel of Baigou River is very narrow. If two more large ships lose power at the beginning and end of the water fleet, then It will seriously affect the navigation of other Jin warships.
More than a dozen 5-pound cannons and 10-pound cannons sprayed out thousands of shotgun pellets. They formed a large sheet in the air and roared towards the two warships that were still weighing anchor.
These two warships are not far away from the Song Army's artillery position. The one at the end of the queue is only twenty or thirty steps away from the Song Army's gun muzzle, and the other one is a little further away, but less than fifty steps away. The power of the shotgun is within the coverage area.
Although the golden soldiers on the ship carefully hid behind the shields of the ship's planks, these warships were converted from civilian ships after all. The ship's planks were still too thin, and the wooden rafters were even thinner than the ship's planks. How could they stop the shotguns? It was immediately beaten into a sieve, and the projectiles that penetrated the wooden board and the fragments of the wooden board flew into the dense crowd behind the ship's plank and shield, immediately arousing a scream. Especially the damage caused by the metal projectiles propelled by the energy of gunpowder explosion, it was really tragic to the extreme!
Some lead bullets shattered the gold thief's head, like a watermelon being smashed, with red, white, and gray slurry flying everywhere. Some lead bullets penetrated a gold thief, which was not enough, and then penetrated a gold thief behind him! Some lead bullets hit the gold thief's body, but it was not fatal for a while. The pain caused the thief to vomit blood and bleed while rolling in his own blood. And some lead bullets are even more cruel. They slice directly into a person's arm, cutting the arm off alive, leaving only a little bit of skin and flesh attached. It hurts to look at it!
With just one round of shotgun shells, the decks of the two trench battleships were filled with blood and death screams, and the golden thieves who survived this round of shotgun deck-washing attacks also collapsed instantly!
Can it not collapse? More than a hundred people were bombarded with shotguns from more than a dozen cannons. Not to mention the golden soldiers, even the legendary lobster soldiers would collapse!
They even forgot that there was a crossbow machine on the ship that could reach the Song Army's artillery position. They just screamed in fear and jumped into the water to escape.
Because Puluhun's ship was far away from the Song army's cannons, it had not yet had its turn to be shot - you had to queue up! Therefore, he did not know how brutal the Song army's cannons were at washing the deck. He only saw that when the Song army's cannons fired, the two warships were not in any condition (they were all small holes, but it hurt), but the sailors on the ship followed them. Just like eating flat food, he jumped into the water with a splash!
Isn’t this too cowardly? Are they Jurchens and Bohai people? Could it be that they are all Han'er?
Pulhun's eyes were red with anger, but he couldn't rush over and chop to death the shameless sailors who fled the battle, so he could only roar loudly, wave his scimitar, and urge the men below him to paddle hard... ...I wish I could fly under Niu Gao's cannon and die.
In his shouts, the ditch battleship he was riding on started at full speed, and as soon as one ship was selected, he "jumped in line" and went forward to die.
The artillerymen of the Song Army also discovered that a ship was not following the rules and actually jumped in line and was shot! So they had no choice but to jump on the queue first.
Eight 10-pound cannons and eight 5-pound cannons were all loaded with shotgun shells. Their muzzles were aimed at the queue-cutting boat, and then there was a volley of earth-shattering fire!
Thousands of metal projectiles were carried by the strong wind, spread out into a large net, and roared towards the warship where Puluhun was. Only a frightening "puff-puff-puff" sound was heard, and this large ship made of five to six hundred materials suddenly became a place like hell.
Deadly projectiles and wood fragments flew everywhere, like the blade of death, leaving only a scene of flesh and blood wherever it passed. The oarsmen, archers, and gunners on the ship were immediately killed and injured, and those who survived were left to collapse, shouting loudly, and threw themselves towards the side of the ship, trying to jump into the water to escape!
Everyone is afraid of lead bullets!
Whether it's Jurchen, Bohai, or Han'er, even a warrior like Pulhun can't stop the power of shotguns!
The fierce general Wuyan Puluhun, who had followed the Wanyan family in various conquests before Aguda started his army, was now lying in a pool of blood, lying next to the headless body of Gao Bodhisattva Nu, a Bohai native who had just been beheaded by him. . His muscular body was hit by three lead bullets, three times and six holes. The bones, internal organs, blood vessels, and muscles in his body were all shredded by these three lead bullets, but his heart was still strong. beating, but the consciousness was not finally lost.
In his ears, there were screams that were heard from the ground up, and there were continuous popping sounds - these were the surviving soldiers jumping into the water to escape.
Wuyan Puluhun finally understood why so many people jumped into the water on the two warships that were the first to be shot.
It's not that I'm a coward, but the enemy is too cruel!
"Woooo..."
Just when Wuyan Puluhun was about to die, he suddenly heard the sound of marching trombones... He knew that this was the Jurchen army commanded by Wanyan Xiebao who was about to launch a general attack!
Can't attack! Run! Wuyan Puluhun really wanted to tell that "crow's mouth" to run as fast as he could. It felt like he could run to the north of Yanshan Mountain, to the east of Yuguan... and then rest and recuperate there. Rebuild a batch of firearms that can compete with the Song people's cannons!
