Chapter 372: Capturing the Dragon (Part 2)(1/2)
The war drums and thunder blew, and the killing came suddenly.
At this moment, Zhao Gou and the ministers all turned into clay sculptures and wood sculptures - where did the enemy come from? Why did there be enemies? Didn’t the Jin people have already escaped from Jiangbei and there were no soldiers left in Jiangnan?
"Zhang Baiying, Yang Zhengfu, Zhang Gongyu! What's going on?" Zhao Gou was extremely angry, his hands clenched into fists in his big sleeves, and his whole body was trembling. It can be understood as anger or fear.
Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong, Zhang Gongyu and other Song generals were sweating profusely, and rushed to board the dragon boat, and repeatedly claimed guilty, and swearing: "Your Majesty, don't disturb you, the enemy is not a Jin man, but a pirate. Although there are many pirate ships, they are not a Wu
Those who are in harmony are definitely not the enemy of our front right army. Please let Your Majesty enter the cabin to avoid it for a while, and see how our army defeats the enemy."
Not a golden man? Oh, as long as it's not a golden man! Zhao Gou's heart was so calm that he was not twitching his face, his hands were not shaking, his teeth were not trembling, and his teeth were not trembling.
It tastes good to eat... Uh, he doesn't stutter anymore: "The bold thief dares to do such a rebellious thing! Zhang Qing must capture the thief's head alive, I will abandon him in the market!"
Zhao Gou, who was in a bad mood and even lost his manners in front of his ministers, was furious and issued a killing order - the Jin people came, he was Zhao's "dog" and ran faster than anyone else; but the rioters came,
He is Zhao "Wolf", and he bites him more ruthlessly than anyone else!
Zhao Gou and his generals didn't know that this time, a tiger came!
On February 16, the fourth year of Jianyan, a duel that determines the fate of Tianshu City and Jianyan Dynasty was ushered in a confrontation on the sea of Dongji Island, 15 nautical miles away in Taizhou Bay.
The military power of both sides is as follows:
Tianbo Division, with a total army of 3,000, 2,000 soldiers and 30 warships, and took the lead in offensive.
The Song army had 2,500 soldiers, 1,500 warships, and 25 warships. They were suddenly attacked and rushed to meet the enemy.
When Zhao Gou went to sea, the total number of troops exceeded 3,000 and the number of ships was fifty. His military strength was only much greater than that of the Tianbo Division. He was only in a battle with Han Chang. Ten ships were destroyed by wind and waves, and the loss of soldiers exceeded 500. A few days ago
During the storm, the ships were also quite damaged, and dozens of soldiers were missing. At this time, only 2,500 people were left. Thirty-five ships were left. In addition to the emperor's dragon ship, the special ship for civil and military ministers, some of them were transported to the royal family's ceremonial instruments.
And the ships with treasury property, the warships that can be used for combat are only twenty-five.
The Tianbo Division has the advantage in soldiers, ships, and combat situations.
Comparison of tactical commands between the two sides:
The Tianbo Division's hand flag and flag-language command system plays an extremely important role in the primitive naval battles; the generals under them are also experienced experts in water warfare.
In contrast, the Song army used hand flags and gold to command drums, but the flag language was simple, the command was general, and the command was rigid. At the same time, neither Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong, nor Zhang Gongyu were good at water warfare.
.The reason why he was able to defeat Han Chang before was not only God's blessing, but more importantly, the water battle between the Jin army was as bad as the cavalry battle between the Song imperial guards. With the level of the two swords of the generals of the Song army,
The army was powerful and the ship was strong, and the Jin army was beaten to the ground for teething, which was also expected.
Compared with military strength, the Song army was at a disadvantage; compared with tactical command, the Song army had no advantage; both software and hardware were lost, and the balance of war was obviously biased towards the Tianbo Division. What is left depends on the real showdown between the two sides.
How did the naval battle be fought during this period? In fact, it is the routine of water battle, which is even simpler than water battle. Ninety percent are platoon battles, and the bow and crossbow are invalid. The only long-range weapon is the bed crossbow. Before going to sea, all
The rods on the warship must be removed, otherwise the weight of up to eight to ten rods on both sides will cause the ship to overturn in the wind and waves. Therefore, when fighting on the ship, you can only rely on the hand-to-hand combat of soldiers, and other things.
Can't even count on it.
What about the crossbow? The sea breeze is so strong that it is much more violent than the rivers. Even in the best weather, the sea breeze can make people unable to stand firmly. Once the bow and arrow arrive at the sea, it basically loses its power.
If you want to use it, you can do it within ten steps. The crossbow is better and within twenty steps. However, within such a short distance, if you still use a crossbow and wait for the enemy to kill you on the ship, you may even have a chance to draw your sword.
there is none left.
The Song army had defeated the Jin army before, but they also fought by hand. The Jin soldiers came from afar, bumping all the way, vomiting from the top and draining from the bottom, and half of their lives were lost. The Song soldiers were waiting for their leisure to work, and they used the advantages of the Southern people to learn water and easily knocked down these strong bodies.
The savage.
The Tianbo Division soldiers are by no means inferior to the Song army's naval soldiers in terms of hand-to-hand combat, and there are also weapons that cause major damage without having to be connected.
The musket projectiles are not too affected by the sea breeze. To be precise, the range is not too affected, but the accuracy is no longer enough... By the way, do the musket teams lined up to kill need to be accurate?
Zhang Jun, who was full of confidence, was in charge of the commander-in-chief of the Right Army in the front, and unified the generals to fight. He divided twenty-five warships into four teams, leading seven ships to protect the emperor's ministers in the rear; Yang Yizhong and Tian Shizhong
, Zhang Gongyu and the three generals led six warships to fight against the enemy ships in a half-ring shape.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Jun is hiding behind, which is both safe and loyal. If you rush to the front and kill, can the official see it? Only in the rear, under the eyes of the official, plan and command if
Only by being determined can you get an impression score. As for the military achievements after winning the battle, isn’t the biggest part of the head coach? Defeated? That is the responsibility of the generals in front of you to lead the direct leadership!
Since the Mingzhou blocking battle, Zhang Jun has been playing this trick, and he has become more and more skilled. Otherwise, how could he be awarded the title of "Qinghe County Prince" in the future?
Tian Shizhong, Zhang Jun's godson, has a much better level of playing horses than command. With the help of his godfather, he showed his face in the blocking battle in Mingzhou and pointed his fingers, and made a great contribution. At this time,
He has become a commander of the Right Army in the Front.
Since defeating the Jin army at sea, Tian Shizhong has become full of confidence: if the Jin army comes, they can easily throw them into the sea to feed the fish; if the thief army comes, it is even more difficult. In this way, the battle is firm and showing its face, Tian Shizhong
Such a clever figure naturally fought forward bravely and took the lead. Therefore, the warship he commanded first encountered the right-wing fleet commanded by Zhang Rong, the Tianbo Division.
Zhang Rong commanded ten warships. When he was thirty feet away from the enemy ship, he was shot by the enemy's double bow bed and crossbow five times. Three arrows caused damage to the hull and more than a dozen soldiers were killed and killed. The soldiers of the Tianbo Division refused to suffer losses and immediately
Retaliate with color. He also used a crossbow to counterattack six arrows, causing chaos to the enemy ship.
After all, the crossbows and arrows shoot each other is just to increase their own power and destroy the enemy's aura. The two rounds of shooting end and the ships on both sides approach. At this time, it is time to see the true seal.
The Song army is ready. The warriors of each ship are arranged on both sides of the side of the ship. The front row is a knife player. The back row is a archer and a gun player. Whether it is fighting at sea or on the river, it is not advisable to use long and heavy weapons or knife cards.
Soldiers are the most suitable group of troops. The archers and gunmen are ready to give the enemy a rapid blow when the two ships are approaching.
The ship was approaching. It was twelve or three meters apart. At this time, the auxiliary soldiers on the Song army's ships held two meters of twig hooks and rope hooks, preparing to throw the hooks to the enemy ship to facilitate the next jump to the hook.
Battle on the side. But what surprised the Song Bing was that the enemy did not do the same thing. They did not plan to fight on the side? So what were they going to do?
"Preparation-" Zhang Rong, wearing armor, faced the strong wind, personally held the flag on the roof of the boat and issued an order.
On the deck of the building ship, there are also two rows: the front row of swordsmen, the rear row of grenades and the blasters. On the second floor of the building ship, behind the fence guardrails are musketeers with live ammunition. Musketeers are musketeers with guns and ammunition.
Arranged on the second deck, one is to condescend to the top and the shooting boundary is wide; the other is to avoid being attacked by enemies during close combat on the sidelines.
"Attack!" The flag was slashed, the drums and horns roared, and the battle began.
The two ships were more than ten feet apart, and the only thing they could attack was muskets - bang bang bang! The fire was flashing, the smoke was filled with it, and it was quickly blown away by the strong sea breeze.
Unprepared Song Bing either groaned or screamed, fell on the deck, or fell down from the sea... And this was just the beginning.
Looking down from a high altitude, the ten warships on the right wing of the Tianbo Division were connected to each other at the head and tail; the six warships on the left wing of the Song army were lined up in a row; the fleets on both sides were one left and one right, one after another, passing one after another in turn,
Like in a field battle, two cavalry teams lined up in a vertical shape, one character long snake formation hedges, and one war horse passes by - the only difference is that one side swings weapons, while the other side can only use it
The side cards struggled to resist.
Everyone has weapons, why can't I hit you if you can hit me? The reason is very simple - I can hit you, but you can't hit me.
The warship at the forefront drove past, and the second warship followed one after another, and another round of guns; then the third warship followed, and another round of guns... In other words, every warship of the Song army,
It will be "wheeled" by ten warships of the Tianbo Division, a total of three hundred musketeers.
A distance of more than ten feet, the side sign was in front of the lead bullet, as crisp as paper. After three hundred bullets swept through one after another, the left wing fleet of the Song army prepared for the war on the starboard side, and there was no one who could stand. The deck was slippery.
Sticky blood, and the wounded who kept rolling and wailing.
Tian Shi Sinopec, and his command ship was at the end of the fleet, that is, the sixth warship. According to his vision, if the first five warships were fighting on the side, the enemy and our ships would definitely be entangled in a ball, and he was
"Command" outside the melee circle. Although there are many enemy ships, they are mobs. I think they will not be able to defeat the elite army of the imperial frontier who once defeated the Jin army twice on water and land. At that time, he can command the ship
The team took advantage of the victory to pursue...
The reality in front of him drew a lot of ears from Shizhong, which made him look like stars. What is even more terrifying is that the enemy ship is approaching...
"Change! The warship turns around!" Tian Shizhong almost jumped up, and even his helmet was tilted and he didn't care to straighten his mouth. He flew across his mouth, "Retreat quickly, and never let the enemy ship approach!"
In fact, there is no need for Tian Shizhong to shout, the Song soldiers and the shipworkers on the command ship were both frightened by the tragic situation of the five warships in front and the thunderous weapons of the enemy. They had already developed the intention to retreat. Faced with the enemy's long-range weapons,
What other side battles are you playing? A whole row of live targets?
As soon as Tian Shizhong ran, the left-wing fleet of the Song army lost command, and each ship fought on its own, and was quickly divided and surrounded by the Tianbo Division, and eaten one by one.
The same scene was also staged in the right-wing fleet of the Song army.
When Zhang Rong and Meng Wei led the left and right wing fleet to annihilate the warships of the Song army on both wings, the central army fleet led by Di Lie also broke into the enemy's formation and collided head-on with the center of the Song army's semi-encirclement - the Former Army fleet.
General, Yang Yizhong.
Behind the Yang Yizhong fleet are Zhang Jun's seven warships; behind the Zhang Jun's fleet is Zhao Gou's dragon ship.
Although more than fifty warships fought each other within two nautical miles, they seemed to be decent in the eyes of the spectators. But in Di Lie's eyes, this so-called naval battle is no different from the Caribbean pirates fighting.
.
Seriously speaking, Di Lie was the only person in this era who understood what a real naval battle was, but he did not personally take the stage to command, but instead handed over the command to Li Bao who was accompanying him - the reason was very simple, the naval battle at this time, and
The naval battles in later generations, even modern naval battles, are completely different, just moving the battlefield from rivers and lakes to sea.
Even if Di Lie comes on stage in person, he will not do better than Zhang Rong, Meng Wei, Li Bao and others. Since that is the case, why not hand over the command power and be freed from it and do more important things?
What Di Lie had to do was to destroy the enemy's command, break through the enemy's center, break through the enemy's defense as soon as possible, attack the central palace, and behead and capture the dragon!
Di Lie took Yue Yun to the second floor of the stairs, the gun box was opened again, and Barrett assembled again. In order to ensure accuracy and range, the original standard bullet was specially used. In addition, Di Lie rarely wore it on
Goggles, this is the original object of Kevlar helmet, but Di Lie has rarely worn them. Now that he is here on this strong sea, if there are no goggles, let alone aiming, it will be difficult for even eyes to stay for a long time.
Open.
Di Lie stood in front of the podium and set up the bipod of the big sniper onto the thick table of the fence guardrail. Through the ten times scope, he easily locked the target.
Di Lie's target was the commander of the enemy ship, the flag bearer, the drum and the flag.
The commander ordered the flag bearer to pass the order, the drum trumpeter issued the order, the warship officers received the order, and the soldiers executed it - this is the basic chain of the entire naval battle from command to execution. Any of the first three snipers will cut off the chain.
To be continued...
