The hull is slender, and the outside of the hull is covered with iron sheets, which can withstand fire and arrows. There are rows of iron knives inlaid on both sides. It looks very much like a centipede, so the centipede boat is also called a water pulley. The centipede boat is very fast.
, the iron knives on both sides are located relatively high. The enemy has never seen this weird centipede boat. If one is not careful, either the hull will be split, or the soldiers on the boat will be directly cut by the steel knives on both sides, and the killing sound will be loud for a while.
, but only the enemy soldiers were injured.
Tuze broke out in a cold sweat, and kept asking in his mind, what kind of weird thing is this? He couldn't damage it even if he chopped it, but he didn't dare to block it. Some people who were not afraid of death turned their boats sideways and tried to block the centipede boat, but they were sharply hit by the centipede boat.
The head was smashed directly into a hole, but the ship was broken into two halves, and numerous soldiers on board were killed and injured.
As soon as the centipede boat came out, it showed its power. Many enemy troops were knocked into the water. Tuze had no way to do it. He was rushed around by the centipede boat and soon the entire formation fell apart. These are still secondary.
The main reason is that being beaten passively all the time has a great impact on morale. Now many enemy soldiers have begun to doubt whether to continue fighting.
The moon was high, the wind was just right, and lives were being consumed. Tuze was not afraid of death, but he did not want to die like this. It would be too useless to be defeated like this. He personally led the warship towards Li Wanqing, but Jin Peng had already set his sights on Tuze.
The enemy was extremely jealous when they met. At this time, Jin Peng no longer cared about it. He only had one thought in his heart, that is, to leave Tuze behind. Even if he died, he would die with Tuze. Once the killing started, he would not stop.
The enemy army that should have an absolute advantage became a mess under the attack of the centipede boat, and the so-called advantage was gone. Naturally, the Northern Shanxi Army would not let go of this good opportunity, and cooperated with the centipede boat to cover up and kill from behind.
The warship rushed over and tore apart all the enemies in its way.
Tuze was trembling all over. At this moment, he had completely understood why the Northern Shanxi Army came out of the city for a decisive battle. He thought that Sanchakou was his blessed place, but unexpectedly it became his death place. In the end, he still didn’t understand the Northern Shanxi Army too well.
, the Northern Shanxi Army's land and infantry troops cooperated with each other. There was the Tiefu Tu in front and the cavalry in the back. However, this was the first time for the naval forces to come into contact.
Who can bear to suddenly encounter this kind of weird tactics? If the Northern Shan army had pushed out the centipede boats at the beginning, it would have been a small defeat. As long as they retreated for a while, they could think of a way to deal with it. But Li Wanqing
He was so tolerant that when the east sluice was breached, he didn't even take out the sharp weapon in his hand. He waited until the opponent gathered at Sanchakou before using it. The water surface was a mess, with no formation at all, rockets, bows and arrows, and centipede boats shuttled back and forth.
, the defeat is determined.
Sanchakou, Sanchakou, if we can win, we can trap all the Northern Shanxi Army in this section of the river, because Sanchakou can only pass from north to south, and there are no tributaries from east to west. Of course, if we lose, there will be no way out.
The Sanchakou is a dead end for both sides. Whoever wins will decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
Tuze thought hard for a long time, but still couldn't think of any other way he could save the current situation. He frowned and immediately ordered, "Everyone retreats to Weijia Village and abandons the ship. Mao Peidong, you take people from the east."
Go up there and be sure to stop the thieves."
Mao Peidong has been with Tuze for many years. When Tuze served in Mohe, Mao Peidong served under him. Therefore, the two are not only superiors and subordinates, but also good friends. The current situation is dangerous, and he wants to do everything he can.
The only way to preserve the vitality possible is to send reliable people to the rear to buy time for the army to withdraw to Weijiacun and land ashore.
Mao Peidong knew that the queen had a narrow escape, but he did not hesitate at all. He led the people in the boat and rushed north. Now the two sides were in a stalemate. Although the Northern Shanxi Army was attacking like a tide, there were many ships on the water, which still affected the situation.
At the speed of march, especially the big treasure ship Xu Wenhai was riding, it was impossible to pass. Mao Peidong was tough by nature, and there was an indescribable ruthlessness in his bones. He led his men to cross over, keep an eye on the rampaging centipede ships, and shouted loudly
He said, "Jump down and stop these strange boats, leaving them lying in the middle of the river."
Mao Peidong's troops are very mixed. These people are very brave and fierce. They don't even know how to write the word "fear". Maybe their military discipline is lax, but now their fierceness has become the most powerful weapon. After hearing Mao Peidong's order, many people
The soldiers were shirtless and jumped into the water. Some of them were holding short knives for fighting in the water, and some were holding ropes. When they approached the centipede boat, a group of people went to stop the water ghosts of the Northern Shanxi Army, and some of them threw up the ropes.
, trapping the centipede boat. This kind of centipede boat has a long and narrow hull. When it sways left and right in the water, the warships holding the centipede boat in the water will be shaken back and forth.
Fortunately, Xu Wenhai reacted quickly enough and immediately ordered the ropes connected to the centipede boat to be cut off, so that the formation was not completely disrupted. Mao Peidong tried his best to block it. He almost went crazy and asked people to place the captured centipede boat across the center.
Blocked the advance route of the Northern Shanxi Army.
Xu Wenhai has commanded the navy for many years, and naval battles are naturally sharp. However, in the Yalu River, he seems to be unable to use his hands and feet. Mao Peidong's unnatural desperate behavior forced him to deal with it carefully. He took a telescope and carefully observed the enemy.
They quickly discovered something was wrong. A large number of enemy troops retreated to the southwest. Someone called Jin Peng, and Xu Wenhai asked aloud, "General Jin, where is the southwest? Is there any place to go?"
A place conducive to the march of the army?"
Jin Peng frowned. After a while, his expression changed drastically. He cupped his hands in a panic and said, "General Xu, I'm afraid it's not good. There is Weijia Village in the southwest. The terrain to the east of the village is flat, which is convenient for climbing.
Along the bank, to the west are the Zhenjiang hills."
What? Xu Wenhai secretly slapped his forehead in annoyance. He still didn’t know much about the terrain around Zhenjiang. He didn’t expect that the place with the deepest water level of the Yalu River here would actually have a section that is conducive to landing. If Tuze was allowed to lead people from
Weijiacun escaped, the consequences would be disastrous. Holding the hilt of the sword, Xu Wenhai looked at Jin Peng with a deep look, "General Jin, can Mr. Xu trust you?"
Jin Peng was stunned when he heard this. He felt that Li Wanqing's eyes were sharp, even with a hint of warning. He could imagine what would happen next if he answered that he didn't trust him. The incident at Zhenjiang Camp was still fresh in his mind.
, Li Wanqing is fierce and decisive. This Xu Wenhai is a more ruthless person than Li Wanqing. He is in the Zhenjiang camp, and he has the intention to kill all the Zhenjiang generals. Will he be polite to Jin Peng now? Of course, Jin Peng seems to be both emotional and reasonable.
There was no reason to seek death. He took two steps back, stood up straight, and said solemnly, "I am willing to listen to the general's orders. No matter the swords, mountains, or seas of fire, I will move forward! If anything happens, just ask the general."
Xu Wenhai nodded secretly in his heart. He was indeed a smart man. Tuze led the troops to withdraw to Weijiawan. In order to eliminate the enemy as much as possible, it was necessary to send people to lead heavy troops to Weijiawan. Originally, Wang Li was the most suitable person.
, but now Wang Li is seriously injured, so after thinking about it, the only one who can be used is Jin Peng, a local snake. Fortunately, Jin Peng understood the meaning of the words, reached out and patted Jin Peng on the shoulder, and said in a serious tone, "General Jin Peng,
I will hand over most of the troops and horses to you. You must go to Weijiawan as soon as possible. You must attack Tuze's troops head-on and eliminate the enemy as much as possible."
"Here" Jin Peng was also overjoyed. He and Tuze had a deep hatred. Isn't it just what he wanted in life to fight against Tuze? Of course, if it weren't for this hatred, maybe Xu Wenhai wouldn't use Jinpeng.
No matter how powerful Mao Peidong was, he couldn't stop Jin Peng from leading the troops ashore. He could only attack Li Wanqing's warship as much as possible in the hope of attracting the Northern Shanxi Army to come back for rescue. Unfortunately, Li Wanqing was determined to defeat Tuze.
Even if the flagship was besieged and was in danger, Mao Peidong was so anxious that he asked people to remove the centipede boat and led people to climb onto the warship where Li Wanqing was.
Li Wanqing waited for a long time and finally seized the opportunity. He immediately took the longbow. The moonlight was beautiful, illuminating the fighting battlefield. Mao Peidong, who was commanding the enemy to board the ship, had no idea that a longbow was already pointed at him.
The arrow was like a shooting star, piercing the flesh with a sound. Although Li Wanqing was not a superb archer, he still had no problem firing arrows within a short distance. The wolf-fang arrow pierced Mao Peidong's throat accurately. The brave enemy general just coughed dryly.
He fell into the river.
"Mao Peidong is dead, brothers, follow me and kill." This was the case on the battlefield. Morale was waxing and waning. Li Wanqing drew his sword and fought with the enemy. The morale of the Northern Shanxi Army was high, and the Centipede Boat began to show off its power again. Nothing.
Under the overall command of Mao Peidong, the enemy troops were defeated one after another, and they could no longer organize effective resistance. They were killed and retreated step by step. Their corpses floated in the Sanchakou, like a patch of water lilies blooming under the moonlight. The battle at the Sanchakou was nearing its end, and the sleeping
Weijiawan has just woken up.
Tuze led the army to land hard from Weijiawan. Everything went smoothly. He thought he had a plan and fled westward in a hurry. But when he came to Panlong Ridge, a group of men and horses came out from the side.
The first person was an old acquaintance of his. Jin Peng was carrying a steel knife, and kept beating the blood-stained armor with his left hand. Facing Tuze, he sneered, "Leader Tutong, what are you doing here? You are in a hurry to enter Yama."
The palace? Unfortunately, Wu Chang is too busy today, so I’ll let someone Jin give you a ride."
Hiss, Jin Peng's troops appeared here, but where is Mao Peidong? I'm afraid he's probably already in danger. Tuze looked extremely ugly. He really should have killed Jin Peng with a knife, so that there wouldn't be today's disaster. "Jin Laosan, back then
If you can escape by chance, today will definitely be your death day. If you want to save my life, it depends on whether you have the ability."
Jinpeng's troops rushed to Weijiawan, and Tuze also led his troops to flee in a hurry, so both sides were exhausted physically and mentally. However, Jinpeng had an advantage, that is, his morale was high. In the quiet Weijiawan, people used to pick up things on the road, but now they suddenly appeared
There are countless murderers. The ancient city of Zhenjiang has been prosperous for hundreds of years. Swords have long since disappeared. On this beautiful night, killing has once again enveloped the place. Looking to the southeast, Sirius is on the side. Among the stars, who can shoot through this murderous Sirius?
After a day of bloody fighting, Zhenjiang was finally saved. Xu Wenhai and Li Wanqing gathered the remaining troops, and at the same time a military report was urgently sent to Guangning.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, the battle report from Zhenjiang was finally sent. Li Wanqing lived up to expectations and defeated the enemy army led by Tuze. Jin Peng beheaded Tuze. Now all the enemy troops have withdrawn from the vicinity of Zhenjiang. Li Wanqing won, and the Northern Shanxi Army completely captured Zhenjiang.
, Sun Chengzong also breathed a long sigh of relief. Huang Taiji should be anxious at this time, and then he should focus on solving the enemy forces in Haizhou City. Just as Sun Chengzong expected, when Zhenjiang was in chaos, the Northern Shanxi Army strangled them with all their strength
At that time, Han Shilong and Ajit who stayed in Haizhou finally couldn't sit still.
It's not that Han Shilong and Ajit are stupid. They really can't figure out what else they can do if they stay in Haizhou. The Northern Shanxi Army doesn't attack the city at all. You guard Zhoukou and enjoy the scenery? This is a dead end, even if you know that Jin
The Northern Army may be on guard outside the city. Both Han Shilong and Ajit have to lead their people to Zhenjiang. If they cannot get Zhenjiang back, the Khan's long-planned southward plan will inevitably go bankrupt, because the Kingdom of Jin cannot be unstable in the rear.
Under such circumstances, use all your strength to deal with the Ming army's Liaodong troops.
It can only be said that God is not on the side of the Kingdom of Jin. Although Mao Wenlong has been killed, another Li Wanqing appears. That Xu Wenhai is even more hateful. I have never heard of this person before, but under this person, he
With a frightening fleet, Xu Wenhai had a flagship. Such a big ship, the warriors of the Jin Kingdom had never heard of it before.
"Report, Supervisor, there is a letter from the front, saying that there is something going on in Haizhou. Before midnight today, Han Shilong led his troops out of the east gate."
Finally coming out, Sun Chengzong had a sneer on his lips, but soon he couldn't be happy again. He could only suppress his smile and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Ajit? Didn't he follow Han Shilong out of the city?"
"Not at all, Ajit seems to be still in the city." After the scout said that, Sun Chengzong became suspicious. Why didn't Ajit leave the city? No, I'm afraid there is a problem here. After thinking about it, Sun Chengzong slapped the table and went to the hall.
Chinese martial arts, "General Zhao, lead your troops to Jinzhou quickly. In addition, inform Zu Dashou and ask him to organize troops and horses to attack Daling River. I would like to see what tricks these Tatars are going to play."
What are you most afraid of when leading troops in a war? The fear of falling into a trap and being led by the opponent. Since you can't see through the opponent's thoughts for a while, you should do the opposite. Don't fight Han Shilong first, but give him a fight.
For other places, let’s see what the other party’s reaction is.
Han Shilong was leading eight thousand soldiers and horses on the way to Zhenjiang, but the marching speed was not as fast as expected. He was also wondering why it took him so long to leave the city, and why the soldiers and horses from Zhenjiang hadn't rushed to stop him.
Han Shilong's troops, a mixture of infantry and cavalry, marched towards Zhenjiang in a mighty manner. Due to the lack of troops of the Northern Shanxi Army, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and it was unusually smooth.
But what was even more surprising was that after Han Shilong arrived near Zhenjiang, he did not launch an attack immediately, but ordered all his troops to rest ten miles south of the city.
