When the morning fog that filled the sea near Shizikou completely dissipated, the expedition fleet, composed of more than 200 large and small warships, had already passed through the entrance of the bay near Shiziwei Peninsula and rushed into Shikou with murderous intent. Interior of the bay.
Dozens of small boats tied with ropes to the buttocks of large ships quickly formed a team on the sea. These small boats were actually not too small. They were all made of more than 100 materials and were extremely strong enough to serve as light warships.
In addition to the baggage and equipment, these small warships were equipped with elite strikers drawn from the army that went to Dengzhou. Everyone had participated in large battles such as the Battle of Damingfu and the Battle of Wuzhanghe. battle. Moreover, he also received several months of "997 hard training" in Jinmingcheng, Kaifeng Prefecture. After arriving in Dengzhou, he continued the "997 hard training" under the guidance of Zhang Rong and Li Bao, who are deep water warfare generals. Now he is Everyone has mastered the art of fighting on the water.
Each small warship is carefully and fully armed. Shields are set up on the front of the bow of the ship. In the gaps between the shields, either crossbows or long oars are stretched out to stir up the sea water. Divide the waves and move forward. The oarsmen were all strong and strong sailors. They were still shirtless in the February weather, their muscles were bulging, and they were rowing hard and sweating profusely.
In addition to the sailors rowing the oars, the soldiers on the ship have all put on heavy armor - now they are not fighting gang war, but going to the beach to land. Moreover, the landing place is close to the golden thief's lair. After landing, it may be a bloody battle!
So everyone is willing to take a little risk and wear heavy armor!
However, in order to save their lives when the ship capsizes, every heavily armored warrior has an inflated sheepskin bag on his back. This kind of sheepskin bag is used to tie up sheepskin rafts. It is more common in the northwest. It is Liu Zhengyan and Miao Fu. It was proposed by these two Western Army generals. The inflated sheepskin bag was tied tightly and bulging behind its back. It looked a bit similar to those "mothers in clothes" from Japan's Warring States Period.
In addition to the sheepskin bags, these heavily armored warriors were also equipped with floating shields, throwable javelins and a broad-backed hand knife, but they did not carry bows or divine arm bows. This is because the bow arms and strings cannot be soaked in water. When we land on the beach later, we will inevitably have to wade through the water. The bow and arrow are soaked in sea water, which will make it difficult to use. It is better to rush up and shoot the javelin against the rain of arrows from the golden soldiers.
Of course, the sailors on those small warships had a divine arm bow beside them. If the landed soldiers need the support of the God's Arm Bow, then the sailors on the ship can immediately switch to being archers!
When the warship washed up on the beach was only thirty or forty steps away from the beach, a large group of infantry and cavalry in white robes emerged from a pine forest near the beach, numbering no less than 1,500!
These infantry and cavalry must have come running from the station. Everyone was panting, and many of the horses were breathing white. All of them were carrying bows and arrows, and some of them had already held infantry and cavalry bows in their hands, but they did not fire a single arrow. They just looked at the warships full of Song Army soldiers approaching at full speed on the sea from a distance.
If someone could get closer, they would probably be able to see expressions of extreme astonishment on the faces of young and old.
This is the lion's mouth in Liaodong!
Liaodong was the core territory of the Jin Kingdom. How could it be invaded by the weak Song army?
Not to mention the current strength of the Jin Dynasty, even when the Liao Kingdom was at its most vulnerable in the past, the Song Kingdom never had any idea of Liaodong!
Even though the Song people had launched the Northern Expedition to Yanyun, they never thought of sending a partial force to cross the sea and enter the Liao Dynasty... Did the Song people take the wrong medicine this time? How dare you do this?
Are they crazy?
And how should we fight the crazy Song people?
Well, that’s a problem!
Because the combat effectiveness of the Bohai Meng'an stationed in Fuzhou is far from comparable to that of the Jurchen Meng'an, and is even inferior to the Xiren Meng'an and the Khitan Meng'an... It's not that the regular soldiers in this Bohai Meng'an are weak, in fact those The combat effectiveness of regular soldiers is no less than that of elite Jurchen soldiers. The backbone of them are all Bohai warriors who followed Gao Yongchang to rebel against the Liao Dynasty and establish the Yuan Dynasty 11 years ago. Later, Gao Yongchang was destroyed by Aguda, and the Bohai warriors who followed him were absorbed by Aguda and formed eight Meng'an.
Since the Bohai and Jurchen tribes are closely related by blood, their languages are also similar. Therefore, the Bohai people did well in the early Jin Dynasty and worked very hard when helping the Jurchens fight. The eight Bohai Meng'an were also beaten into elites.
However, the Bohai people were not trusted under the rule of the Liao State, and they were not a "fighting people". They were engaged in farming and handicrafts like the Han people, and did not have much military tradition... Otherwise, Gao Yongchang's "Dayuan" "The country" will not perish without even surviving a year.
Because there is no military tradition, and the Bohai people want to be officials more than fighting (their civilization is relatively high, they are quite suitable to serve as officials for the goddess of the goddess)... so that generation of "fighting" Bohai warriors The fighting ability of the elders and nephews is not strong. Now I suddenly saw warships all over Shizikou Bay, and dozens of small boats washed up on the beach, full of Song Army soldiers carrying a big baggage. I was a little dazed for a moment.
Seeing that the gold thief on the shore didn't fire a single shot, he just made a not very strict Yanyue Formation (in fact, he didn't practice the formation very much, he just stood randomly), and the soldiers and sailors on the ship didn't take out any God's arm bow came to shoot, but everyone's face was sullen and solemn.
On the first boat, there was a tall man also wearing heavy armor, holding a long spear and standing tall. It was Yue Fei who had been promoted to deputy commander... His immediate boss was of course the general Niu Gao. Now On a large ship with thousands of materials, I held up a telescope and watched how Yue Fei was the first to rush to the beach.
At this time, Yue Fei had a panoramic view of the array of golden soldiers on the beach... They looked a bit like a ragtag group, but they still couldn't be underestimated. Thinking of this, he immediately shouted angrily: "Hold on harder... Go to the beach!"
...
There was a "boom".
Dozens of warships loaded with soldiers of the Song Army had already crossed the waves of the sea at full speed and suddenly landed on the beach of Shizikou Bay.
The warship has not yet stabilized, and the soldiers of the Song Army who are fully loaded on it are already jumping down. The first person in front was Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, who was carrying a horse pole. He first used the tail of the horse pole to thrust into the tidal flat, and then used the force to land firmly on the muddy ground of the tidal flat. The soldiers behind also rumbled down, each holding their shields high.
"Quick, quick, move forward, don't just stand there in the mud!"
Yue Fei waved his horse, pointed forward, and then took the lead and rushed forward.
The dozens of soldiers behind him followed without hesitation, forming a team as they advanced.
At this time, the Bohai people on the beach finally came to their senses. I don’t know who took the lead in shouting: "No, Captain Gao has gone to Liaodong to hunt for grass in the valley! Quickly release an arrow and shoot Captain Gao to death!"
I finally knew it was bad... But this Bohai man never thought that Lieutenant Gao could not be shot to death, and he would never die again.
However, the Song Army soldiers who followed Yue Fei onto the beach would still die. When someone shouted for archery, the Bohai people on the beach, whether on horseback or on foot, took out their bows and arrows, unstretched their bowstrings, and put on feather arrows. They did not wait for the order to fire, but just raised their hands and fired. Suddenly there were thousands of feather arrows. It was thrown towards Yue Fei and others.
As soon as the arrow was shot, the experienced Song officers and soldiers were stunned... The accuracy was too poor and the landing point was too scattered. Moreover, the arrowheads that fell into the team led by Yue Fei did not seem to have much power. They had no power at all. People were shot over.
If the opponent is a really powerful golden thief, his performance cannot be so bad!
Is the golden thief fake?
Yue Fei reacted quickly. After being stunned for a moment, he roared: "Forward! Forward! Thirty steps before throwing the javelin!"
"Here! Move forward..."
Some people move forward, while others start shooting arrows!
When shooting with a divine arm bow, it is not a volley, but a shot fired by sailors with excellent shooting skills. Although not many wooden feather arrows were shot, the arrows were all fired, and more than a dozen people were shot down in the blink of an eye!
Seeing this scene, Niu Gao, who was supervising the battle on the ship at the rear, couldn't believe it... These golden soldiers didn't have armor!
This is not a real golden soldier, but a fake golden soldier!
"Drum beat!" Niu Gao shouted, "Cheer for my brother Yue Fei!"
When the drum beat loudly, more boats rushed onto the beach. Groups of soldiers jumped down. After jumping on the beach, they all moved forward without hesitation.
The sailors on the ship were also unambiguous. They all took out their divine arm bows and shot fiercely at the golden thieves riding on the beach in front. Wherever the wooden feather arrows flew, people fell on their backs!
Yue Fei and others, who were the first to rush onto the beach, had already formed a square formation, huffing and puffing and marching on the mud on the beach... There were only a few dozen of them! There are at least a thousand "fake gold thieves" on the opposite side.
Yongcheng is like this...Is this the real Song Army? It's not someone else pretending to be someone else, right?
There were still some Bohai knights who did not believe in evil and drove their horses forward, rushing toward the phalanx formed by Yue Fei and others. But after all, these knights were racing horses on the tidal flats. The roads were muddy and the horses couldn't charge very fast.
When Yue Fei saw ten or twenty horsemen rushing towards him in front of him, of course he was not afraid anymore and just shouted: "Stand up!"
Then he saw that all the soldiers following Yue Fei stopped advancing. Yue Fei moved his long sword forward again, "The first row...throw!"
Twelve or thirteen short spears flew out with great scenery. They were all aimed and thrown, so they flew directly towards the Bohai cavalry who were approaching on horseback. In the blink of an eye, six short spears were inserted into the chests of four Bohai cavalry. And the bodies of two war horses... Less than half of the Bohai cavalry was knocked down in this way. The remaining cavalry did not expect that the Song Army's javelin was so powerful, and they were all stunned. No one dared to continue to advance, but They all turned around and ran away.
Is this a big deal? Seeing that the Jin cavalry actually beat back their own infantry with javelins, the Song troops who had rushed to the beach were all excited!
The gold thief is fake...this battle is definitely won!
