Chapter 167 Killing Khan IV Asking for a Monthly Ticket
"The first general of the Left Army obeys the order and advances at full speed!"
At this time, Lu Hu issued the order of the first general at full speed. According to the organization of the Pili Navy, the commander of the Left Army and the Central Army also served as the first general and the first general - that is, the commander of the squadron, and the commander of the formation and the flagship captain.
The Left Army and the Central Army of the Pili Navy each have ten three-layer oar-mounted warships. There are two generals under the left central army, and there are five divisions below the two generals, each division is a three-layer oar-mounted warship. Therefore, the five three-layer oar-mounted warships are charged at full speed with Land Hu.
At the same time, the other fifteen three-layer oars boats dropped their anchors at the same time and stopped moving on the river.
"Five ships move forward, fifteen ships don't move... What does this mean?" Shi Tianze wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and asked in confusion.
"This..." Brother Wang Tian didn't understand after thinking about it. He was a man from the northwest and was a good at fighting on the ground. Now sitting on the boat, he felt that his internal organs were swaying in his stomach. He didn't have the heart to think about the water battle? And even if he figured out Chen Dexing's purpose, it was useless, because the advantage of today's water battle was basically Chen Dexing, and it was overwhelming! It was just a bunch of stupid Tartars, and the traitors didn't know.
It is said that the Khitan Shi Mazhao really understands water warfare. The Mongolian navy he led was on the Sichuan River and the Song navy was unable to find the north. Moreover, there was another Song general in Sichuan named Liu Zheng!
Now, in this changed history, Shi Maan was only responsible for commanding all the arson traits and was the pioneer of the Mongolian navy. He was riding on a fast-sentence ship and stretched his neck to look forward. He couldn't understand the other party's intentions for a while.
"Look at thousands of households, someone has lit the fire and discharged it!"
Just when Shi Ma could not guess the opponent's intentions, a young general next to him suddenly shouted. He looked up with his head held high and saw that a wooden raft in front had been burned at some point. Then there was the second, the third, and the fourth wooden raft caught fire. In the blink of an eye, there was a large area on the river surface!
"Damn it, the Southern Barbarians are trying to induce us to ignite the fire in advance!" Shi Mazhan stomped his feet and shouted loudly, "Send the order. Send the order quickly, don't ignite the fire without authorization! Those who violate the order will be killed!"
The order? How to spread it? This is the water surface, not the land, but there is no fast horse to run, and you can only convey orders with various flags. Moreover, the Mongolian navy soldiers responsible for rafting and ignition cannot understand the complicated flag words, so the agreement before the war is very simple, which is to ignite the red flag. There is no such thing as not being allowed to ignite or violating the order...
"Haha, it's indeed as expected!" Lu Hu, who was commanding the five oars, laughed loudly when he saw the burning scene on the river.
In fact, the Mongolian naval army's arson platoon tactics were found in Chen Dexing's "Naval Science" textbook. This tactic is common in the history of naval wars in the East and the West. However, miraculous effects are rarely seen. At most, it is a way to destroy the formation of the enemy fleet. Because after the arson ship is burned, it will disappear, and no one can row on a burning fire boat. After the fire is lit, the sailors on the arson ship will jump into the ship to escape, and the fire boat can only float by relying on the water flow.
The speed of the water flow is definitely not as fast as the warships that go downstream or downstream. Therefore, these arson ships are a big trouble before they are lit. The fleet of the Pili Navy dare not rush up at once, but once they are lit, it is not a big problem.
The Mongolian navy was originally formed in a hasty manner and it was impossible to undergo rigorous training. The arson ship tactics were too complicated for them, so it was certain that the dispatch was not effective.
"Regress. Regress, cruise speed!"
When Luhu saw that 70% or more of the arson trays on the river had already started to burn, he ordered the five warships to retreat according to the teachings. Although the stern resistance of the third-layer oar-mounted battleship was relatively large, it was much easier to retreat in the river water with a water flow rate of up to five or six kilometers per hour than to advance. Under the combined effect of 174 wooden oars and the Yangtze River flow, the five three-layer oar-mounted battleships retreated rapidly, and the wooden rafts floating downstream could not catch up at all. And of course, these ignited wooden rafts could not float forever...
"How is this possible..." Shi Ma Shou was really stunned this time. He worked hard to stab thousands of wooden rafts and cut off countless axes and big swords. He also offered a large reward to recruit dead soldiers to release rafts. This is the result? Ignite a fire on the Yangtze River to show the Nanman?
The faces of Shi Tianze and Wang Tian Ge were also ugly. The fire steak, which I thought could have miraculous effects, was completely useless, and now there are only serial ships left!
"Uncle Shi. Look... do you want to continue?" Brother Wang Tian looked at Shi Tianze with some uncertainty. To be honest, he had a great expectation for the arson ferry, but now he has started to feel irritated in his heart when the result is.
Shi Tianze looked back at the Jiuyou Baiqi that had become faintly vaguely on the mountain in the distance, shook his head and said, "The Great Sweat is right there, and we can't stop fighting hard!"
He took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Beat the drum! Blow the trumpet! Fight with the Nanman!"
...
A series of drums and roars sounded loudly on the river surface, and all the serial ships suddenly began to accelerate forward. The unlit arson trays were also pushed aside, so as not to block the channel where the serial ships were traveling. There was only one sailor on the wooden tray, and the speed should not be used as a serial ship with forty-eight wooden oars and two rowing oars.
"The central army changes its formation, a line of horizontal formations..."
"The Zuo Jun took another thousand steps..."
"Order each ship to prepare for the attack of hot bombs!"
Chen Dexing, who was standing on the Tiger battleship, also began to issue orders at this moment. The Left Army had just forced the other party to ignite the arson platoon just now, which was just an appetizer. The real contest has just begun. When the first general of the Left Army returned to his position, Lu Hu also issued the same order. He turned the ten warships of the Left Army into a horizontal line, lined up in a row before the Central Army, thus forming a large two horizontal line. At the same time, all the twenty warships were anchored and fixed themselves on the surface of the river - this was the preparation before the hot bomb attack!
"Hurry, hurry up, put the iron bullet into the stove!"
"Putting armor, all armored soldiers are wearing armor!"
"Check out the fire-fighting sand and earth!"
"The soldiers outside the cannon hand enter a hidden position!"
"Fast Shi... Zhang! Prepare for the test shot!"
On the twenty three-layer oars, the officers kept giving orders, while the sailors performed various tactical actions according to the orders. These actions were not very skillful, and even seemed a little panicked. After all, the Pili Navy was just a navy that had not been formed for a long time and was still exploring various tactical exercises. This is probably the reason why Chen Dexing did not let the Pili Navy go to sea immediately. Boating on the river and sailing on the sea are two completely different concepts!
However, their opponent seemed very quiet at this time. More than a hundred chain of large ships were moving in formation. Except for the oarsmen, everyone was motionless, and everyone had a tense face and didn't say a word easily. You could tell at a glance that they were elite soldiers who had fought for a long time.
On the first boat, a short, strong, bearded and bearded young man, who looked a little similar to Shi Tianze, was standing on the deck of Shi Tianze's eight son Shi Bin. He was appointed by his father as a navy thousand-household, and he was in charge of the ten chain of ships leading the way with the new affiliated army Yao De.
He is a typical northern man. Although he is a little water-like, he has no experience in water-fighting. Most of his soldiers were the new subordinate army who surrendered to Mongolia with Yao De, the commander of Chengdu Prefecture, and the original Song army. However, they were also ordinary infantrymen, and they also had no experience in water-fighting. Only a very few were from the Song army naval army and were responsible for rowing and steering.
Such a navy army has been barely able to sail on the river, and it is really difficult for Shi Tianze and Wang Tian to fight on the water.
"Test shot, launch!"
"The tent..."
With the order of the generals of the various artillery teams of the Thunderbolt Navy, twenty red iron bombs tested were shot out one after another, drawing curved trajectories in the air, and then smashed heavily into the river.
No hit!
Shi Bin breathed a sigh of relief. The story of the thunder and the blown-up of Tianlei and Yeya Liugan had been blown into pieces long ago in the upper level of the Mongolian army. Of course, he knew it was amazing.
“Woo woo…”
The sound of the trumpet passed through the wet air on the river and sounded again. This was Shi Tianze ordering the front army to charge! Shi Bin also glared and shouted: "Come on! Fight up and fight with the Southern Barbarians!"
The centipede ship that fought desperately against the Song army was Shi Tianze's earlier arrangement. He used ten chain boats to wrap around ten centipede ships, even if they couldn't beat them! As long as the chain boats behind rushed up, they would pile up these damn centipede ships to death with the pile of numbers!
"Push..."
This was the first hot bomb volley of the Pili Navy! When the fleet commanded by Shi Bin rushed to the 200 steps of the Pili Navy fleet, forty hot iron balls came in the air! Two of them hit the target! The ones hit the chain ship numbered A 2, which was right next to the A 1 where Shi Bin was riding. However, A 1 was safe and sound.
"ah……"
"It's burned to death..."
"Fire, it's on fire!"
The so-called hot bomb is a red-burning iron ball, which was long used as a weapon for arson bombs in the era of sail battleships. The temperature of this iron ball is extremely high, enough to ignite the wooden board! As for the human body, even if it is smashed, it can even wipe it off! And these serial ships are now filled with armored soldiers, and a hot bomb almost fell into the crowd. First, it killed, scratched and burned many people, and then ignited something, causing chaos.
Another hot bullet smashed a hole in the temporary deck and fell into the inside of the serial ship. Under the deck of the serial ship, there was another pile of debris, arrow clusters and iron cannons! These things were almost flammable and were soon ignited by hot iron balls... (To be continued)
