Of course it was Han Shizhong who ordered the war fleet on the Wuzhang River to charge.
Just now, he was standing on a particularly tall watchtower and witnessed two offensive and defensive battles taking place at the same time... After watching these two offensive and defensive battles, Han Shizhong immediately ordered the navy to launch an attack.
In these two offensive and defensive battles, one is Wanyan Yili not fighting Huang Wuji, and the other is Wanyan Yanmu fighting Jie Yuan.
The troops dispatched by both sides were about the same (the Jin soldiers had thousands more), and they were all elites of the highest level. Huang Wuji and Xie Yuan of the Song Army formed a square array to face the enemy, with counterweighted cannons and fire oil tanks as trump cards... This is the strongest land division lineup that Han Shizhong can come up with right now!
Although Huang Wuji and Xie Yuan both won the first battle with the help of a group of "house slave soldiers" fighting fiercely with the fire from the oil tanks, the results were not satisfactory.
Han Shizhong, who was watching the whole battle, also saw that Huang Wuji and Xie Yuan were not fighting calmly at all. They used all their strength to repel the attack of the Jin soldiers and the Iron Buddha. There was only one last move left to press the bottom of the box, which was to use the divine arm archer to throw a small pot of fierce fire oil!
The Jin soldiers obviously have a lot of spare strength that they haven't used yet... I don't want to say anything else, but they have more troops, and they can be used intensively, so they can definitely use them in their first wave. Invest more troops in the offensive.
Because the Song army did not have enough cavalry to guard the two wings, it had to use a square formation to meet the enemy. Divide the limited force into five parts, one for each of the four sides, southeast, northwest, and one for the reserve force at the bottom of the box.
Therefore, as long as the Jin soldiers sent some kidnap horses to circle back and forth around the three sides of the Song army's square formation, the Song army would not be able to mobilize too many troops from these three sides.
In other words, the Song army in a square formation can only have two-fifths of its troops to fight against four-fifths of the enemy's troops... If the total strength and individual combat effectiveness are still at a disadvantage, , then it would be even more difficult for the Song army to defend.
If it weren't for the powerful fire oil tanks and counterweighted cannons, Han Shizhong was not sure whether Huang Wuji and Xie Yuan could withstand the first wave of Jin soldiers' attack.
With the blessing of "Sky Fire", although Huang Wuji and Xie Yuan both won for a while, Han Shizhong also saw through the telescope that the two of them did not achieve much results.
Because their troops did not really defeat the Iron Buddha of the Jin soldiers, there were still a large number of kidnapper horses around waiting for an opportunity. Therefore, both Huang Wuji and Jieyuan adopted the strategy of giving up when things were good. They did not pursue the retreating Jin army in a large scale, so the results achieved were naturally limited.
Since he won't be able to cut off many gold thieves' heads even if he won, Han Shizhong didn't want the gold thieves on the south bank of the Wuzhang River to attack Huang Wuji and Jieyuan's armies in waves... just in case one of them failed to hold on. , that would be embarrassing!
So Han Shizhong ordered the navy to attack, and at the same time ordered the nearly 60,000 officers and soldiers of the five armies who had already organized their troops in the camp and were ready to go out at any time to leave the camp immediately.
Han Shizhong was prepared to let these relatively weak troops seize the moment when the warship fleet broke through the pontoon bridge on the Wuzhang River, causing great psychological pressure on the Jin soldiers. Together with the elite soldiers under Xie Yuan, they launched an attack on Wanyan Mu's headquarters located on the west side of Jin Bing's Henan (Wuzhang Henan) camp.
In fact, the elite soldiers of the Army Division in the hands of Lieutenant Han were only an army from Jie Yuan, an army brought by Huang Wuji, and a small number of his own soldiers.
The rest of the troops were picked by Zhao Kai. It was okay to defend the city for a while, and they could do some bluffing work outside the city.
But bluffing can work wonders if you play it well!
As long as Wanyan Yanmu and Wanyan Youli's troops can be forced away from their camp, Han Shizhong can lead his own army of 80,000 and Huang Wuji's army of 10,000 to pursue them all the way... .Chasing can also defeat the Jin soldiers who have lost their baggage and have no logistical supplies!
...
Although the Army Division of the Song Army on the south bank of the Wuzhang River is a bit "watery", the Navy Division of the Song Army on the Wuzhang River is not "watery" at all. "Dry ship"!
The most powerful one among them was the assault-type "Yuzhou" that killed Wanyan Arubu.
After this assault-type "Royal Boat" arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture, it underwent another round of upgrades and modifications. A counterweighted cannon was installed on the stern of the ship, and a warehouse specifically used to store heavy fire oil tanks was built.
In addition, the bow of this "imperial boat" has also been reinforced. The ironwood bow ram was removed and replaced with a copper-clad ram!
And the man commanding the bow of this "royal boat" was the Black Tornado Li Kui who was loyal to the Song Dynasty. He has now entered the horizontal class, and if he goes up one promotion, he will be transferred to Yaojun... Maybe in a few years, he, a dark and handsome man, will be able to become a black captain!
When the sound of drums urging the warships to march came, the future Black Captain was standing on the bow deck of the "Royal Boat" with his mouth open and holding a long-handled battle ax. Looking at the Jinbing tip artillery position that had turned into a sea of flames, I felt very scared for a while... Fortunately, brother Gongming was smart and defended Zhao Guan's family in Yuncheng, otherwise he would have been burned to ashes by the sky fire sooner or later!
At this time, the first officer on the ship heard the sound of drums and saw the military flags waving on the shore, so he reminded Li Kui loudly: "Li Taiwei (Li Taiwei is also an honorific title for a military man), Han Taiwei is called We are marching in!"
Li Kui looked back at the waving military flag, and then shouted angrily: "Weigh the anchor, step on the waterwheel, paddle... bump into it!"
"Here!"
Amidst loud shouts, the imperial boat commanded by Li Kui was like a giant beast that suddenly rose up in the water, suddenly breaking through the water surface of the Wuzhang River. One boat took the lead, roaring towards the pontoon bridge seven or eight miles away.
When the warship passed the Jinbing artillery array that had turned into a sea of flames and appeared near the Wuzhang River embankment to the east of the artillery array, the war broke out immediately!
The first to fight the warships commanded by Li Kui were the Han'er Army under Liu Yanzong, who was forced into battle by Wanyan Puluhu to "atone for his sins." Under the loud and angry shouts of the Jurchen general who was supervising the battle, the soldiers of the Han'er Army in Nanjing, who had already lost half of their souls after being frightened by the "Sky Fire", had no choice but to brace their bows and arrows, and pointed an arrow with a fulcrum of fire. Shoot at the "Oshu" whose hull and deck are covered in mud.
Li Kui had already entered the cabin at this time. When he heard the sound of metal banging on the ship's board, he knew that the gold thief was shooting arrows at his ship. He immediately shouted angrily at the archer in the cabin: "He's shooting arrows. Cum hard!”
A row of shooting holes were opened on both sides of the cabin where Li Kui was located. The cabin was also filled with divine arm archers. Two-thirds of the archers were responsible for loading bows and arrows, and one-third of the archers were only responsible for releasing arrows.
Li Kui gave an order, and there was a sudden sound of bowstrings in the cabin, and sharp wooden feather arrows were continuously fired!
At the same time, there was a violent sound of breaking through the air on the top of the cabin, and eight large arrows shot towards the north bank of the Wuzhang River.
The Han'er army on the north bank of the Wuzhang River was forced too hastily by the angry Puluhu, and had to form a dense formation. Many Alixi, who were under the control of Puluhu, also joined them and mingled with the Han army. They were not only supervising the battle, but also brought bows and arrows to prepare to join the battle.
The eldest son Wu begged to buy was so anxious... In this battle of Wuzhanghe, more than 200,000 gold soldiers beat another 100,000 Song troops!
If he were defeated, his father Wu Qimai would be disgraced? Maybe I have to retire early and become the emperor!
What will he do then? In the past few years, he has done a lot of offending things because he had an emperor as his father!
When Pruhu thought of his fate after his father lost power, he decided to act recklessly. He forced Liu Yanzong to drive all the strong men of the Han army onto the embankment, and wanted to use their bows and arrows to shoot at the crossbows and divine arm bows on the warships!
But how can ordinary bows and arrows be a match for the bed crossbow and the divine arm bow? Moreover, the Song army was still hiding behind the thick ship planks, making it difficult to be shot.
But the traitor troops on Nanjing Road were in dire straits... Their Nuzhen master didn't care about their lives at all, and only regarded them as cheap consumables.
First, the wooden feather arrow shot by the Divine Arm Bow must have swept through the crowd of Jin soldiers and traitors!
This highly penetrating arrowhead easily broke through the leather armor worn by these traitorous soldiers, and penetrated deeply into the flesh, eliciting bursts of screams!
Then eight large arrows shot through the crowd, like skewers, killing at least ten of them - these traitorous archers were standing too densely, and they were too close to the imperial boat on the river. Therefore, the bed crossbow on the "Yuzhou" will not miss as long as it is slightly aimed.
This is a big arrow that is similar to a short gun. How can it be good if you "shoot" this thing? Two of the rounds came in twos, two traitorous soldiers, with their chests pressed against their backs, strung together. At the beginning, the two people were still crying and shouting for help, but after shouting for a few times, there was too much blood and there was no movement.
Yuzhou just fired arrows and moved forward, leaving only a wail wherever he passed!
Then other warships will come to harvest the life of the traitor again!
But the fate of a traitor...can it tell fortunes?
As Yuzhou continued to accelerate, the waterway of seven or eight miles passed by in an instant, and a wooden pontoon bridge appeared in front of Yuzhou!
"It's about to hit!"
"Hold on...it's about to hit!"
With loud shouts, everyone on the boat stopped what they were doing, and all held onto the handles or ropes tightly.
The warship continued to move forward under the influence of huge inertia, and suddenly hit something with a click. Then everyone on the ship felt the huge forward momentum, and suddenly felt that the warship they were riding on moved backwards.
Not broken! Moreover, the warship was still stuck among the rafts of the pontoon. Obviously, the golden thief learned the lessons from Hachaikou and made the floating bridge stronger and more durable!
Li Kui made the right judgment, but it's not a big deal. Because the warship stuck on the pontoon bridge can still block the pontoon bridge.
Thinking of this, Li Kui said loudly: "Phi Armor, let's go to the deck and use the cannon to fire sky fire to burn them to death!"
"Send fire from heaven... burn them to death!"
At the same time, dozens of other warships equipped with counterweighted cannons on the Wuzhang River also let out the same roar!
