my wife is mulan

Chapter 1060

Jiangxia City.

The atmosphere in the lobby of the prefect's mansion was tense, the officers and generals looked at each other's expressions, Xu Yibao stood in the middle with his head bowed, very ashamed.

Zhao Junsheng asked in a deep voice: "So the navy is blocked in the water fortress and can't get out, is it equivalent to abolishing his martial arts?"

Xu Yibao bowed down on one knee, "It's my minister's carelessness, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng's tone was not kind: "I'm asking you, the navy can only hide in the water village, can it no longer play a role?"

Xu Yibao hurriedly said: "That's not true. Since the Song Army's navy can raid and block the Hekou River, the officials and others can also take the opportunity to attack them. It's just that the Song Army has just successfully attacked and blocked us in the water village, so they will definitely be on guard against us. , will not let us regain control of the river estuary easily, so I need time to plan and deploy a counterattack, intending to regain control of the river!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "How long do you need?"

"This minister can't be sure when the opportunity will appear, so he can't give His Majesty an accurate time!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned, and looked at the generals: "The Song army blocked our navy in the water village. They must be crossing the river next. When do you think they will cross the river and attack?"

Li Bao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that the Song Army no longer has our navy to disrupt the situation, and they can cross the river freely. Maybe they are already preparing for it at this time, and they can do it at any time!"

Sima Chuzhi stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, if the old minister were Xiao Bin, he would definitely choose to attack at night. Dark night is the greatest cover. People are easy to get sleepy at night! And even though it is almost October, there is no shortage of people." Vegetables, fruits, and fish, the general night blindness that the Song army experienced in winter is also absent at this time, so the old minister thinks that they are likely to launch a night attack, and it is unknown where they will choose to land!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while after hearing this, and asked Liu Dagon: "General Liu, if the Song army raids any part of the river bank defense line, or attacks the entire line, how long can my defenders last?"

Liu Gun stood up and said, "Your Majesty, as long as the defenders are vigilant and don't give the Song army an opportunity, even if the Song army storms across the board, with the existing Jiang defense forces, if they want to occupy the Jiang defense fortifications, it will take at least three days! "

"Okay, Jiang Fang, you should do your best to check the price of each post to prevent the soldiers on duty from being lazy and dozing off. Once such things are found, they will be severely punished!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the other generals and school officials: "Everyone, especially the military commanders, restrain the soldiers so that all the soldiers are on standby and ready to fight at any time!"

All the generals stood up and saluted together: "No!"

The actions of the Song army were expected by Sima Chu. After midnight that night, a landing fleet composed of a large number of fishing boats and small sampans approached an important river defense point fifteen miles downstream of Jiangxia City from the opposite bank.

The guard posts of the Qianjun and Xiejun Army who guarded here originally did not notice that the Song Army came to attack. After all, it was at night and the light was dim, so it was not easy to see the boats on the river clearly. The guard post was alarmed, and other defenders were also alarmed.

Under the orders of the generals and officers, the dry army and the allied army quickly entered the garrison combat position to prepare for battle.

Before the sound of the war drum fell, there was a lot of shouting and killing, and waves of arrows flew from the river to the fortifications on the river bank defense line.

The rain of arrows did little damage to the dry army and the allied army hiding in the fortifications, but it also angered the defenders, and the commander of the dry army ordered to shoot back with arrows.

The Gan Army and the Xie Cong Army couldn't see the enemy clearly at all, so they could only shoot arrows at the river blindly.

But the commander of the dry army soon felt that something was wrong. He could only hear the sound of the enemy's war drums and shouts of killing.

"Order all the ministries to stop shooting arrows and shoot two rounds of rockets instead! Order the soldiers behind the fence and stone barrier to be vigilant. If the Song army lands and attacks, they must be kept out of the fence and stone barrier!"

"Yes!"

The dry army uses the combination of horns and lights to transmit military orders. If you want to convey military orders, you must first blow the horn to remind the communication soldiers in each fortification to pay attention to receiving military orders, and then use the shaking of lights to convey military orders. Just like a semaphore.

The location of the light communication is set at the highest point, so that all the communication soldiers in the fortifications can see it.

With this method, the military orders of the dry army were transmitted very quickly, and the dry army and allied troops in the fortifications quickly received the order to stop firing ordinary arrows and use rockets instead.

When the first round of rockets was fired, the commander of the dry army knew that he had been fooled. After the first wave of rockets was shot, a large number of rockets were set up on some small boats on the river. There were many haystacks on the small boats. A lot of arrows are collected from haystacks on a large number of small boats.

"These Song people are really deceiving people. I really think I have never read the book. I don't know that Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms used this trick to deceive Cao Cao with many arrows?" The commander of the Qianjun stood in the highest fortification and saw the river through the fire. After seeing the above situation, I couldn't help but yell.

At this time, a large number of small boats on the river were shot by rockets, and the haystacks on the boats began to burn. A long row of more than a dozen small boats were all caught on fire, and they burned into one piece. The smaller the fire, the bigger the fire. Song Jun hiding on the nearby boats I can't take it anymore, it's too hot, and the fire may spread at any time.

"General, the fire is about to reach the ship where the soldiers are hiding, what should we do?" a lieutenant asked loudly.

Song General Zong Yue made a decisive decision and ordered: "The collected arrows cannot be kept, pass on the order to push all these burning ships to the shore!"

"promise!"

The military order was conveyed one by one, and the generals of the Song army finally pushed the grass boat on fire to the shore when the fire spread to their own boat.

It is now the beginning of October, no matter day or night, it is mostly north wind, northwest wind or northeast wind. At this time, the northeast wind is hanging on the river. The generals on the ships of the Song Army shouted again and again in fright, and quickly controlled the ships to retreat.

The dry army and the auxiliary army in the fortifications on the shore saw the Song army panicked by the fire boat approaching, and they all laughed loudly.

The ships of the Song army finally got rid of more than a dozen fire boats, and by the time they were burnt and sank underwater, an entire hour had passed.

The first feint was easily dispelled by the Gan army. The Song army was not very reconciled. The deputy general asked Zong Yue: "General, the grass boat has been burned clean, what should we do now?"

Zong Yue said: "Our task has not been completed yet. Immediately organize ten ships to land and attack. Everyone prepares their shields and must protect themselves. Our task is to feign an attack to attract the attention and attention of the enemy. Troops, to provide cover for the real main attacking allies!"

"promise!"

The real attack of the Song Army began. Ten fishing boats were fully loaded with soldiers. The soldiers paddled with one hand and slowly approached the shore with their shields in the other.

The speed of the river surface here is relatively gentle, and the sound of running water is very small. In order to judge whether there are enemy troops coming by boat at night, the dry army also specially arranged monitors to judge whether there are ships approaching by relying on the sound of the water.

Although these attacking Song soldiers paddled lightly, they still made quite a noise. After the listener reported what he heard, several rockets were shot from a high arrow tower.

Although there was only a faint light, the soldiers and underlings in the fortifications still spotted the ten fishing boats.

"Fire arrows!"

As the rain of arrows fell, there was a thumping sound on the river. Some of the arrows were blocked by the shields of the Song army. Army soldiers screamed after being shot.

After a few rounds of arrows, ten fishing boats docked, and the sound of war drums sounded. The soldiers of the Song Army shouted to kill, holding shields in front of them, jumping off the fishing boats with weapons in one hand and rushing towards the fortifications on the river bank.

The frontmost Qianjun and Xiejunjun used stone barriers and fences to defend. Before the Song army rushed over, they shot hard with arrows, and they always killed a few. When the Song army rushed to the vicinity, they immediately stabbed them with spears and spears. Those who stabbed were stabbed to death on the spot, and some were blocked with shields, and then counterattacked with weapons. The two sides fought at the fence and stone barrier.

At this time, on the river ten miles upstream of Jiangxia City, a large number of Song Army naval warships anchored on the river, and put down a large number of small boats, which were full of Song Army generals.

No way, no matter if it is fifteen miles downstream or ten miles upstream, if you want to land, you can only use a small boat. The big boats can't get close at all. Once they get close to the river bank, there is a danger of running aground.

A large number of small boats full of Song Army soldiers made a lot of noise as they approached the river bank. The soldiers of the Congregation Army who were in charge of guarding and guarding heard it and threw a torch onto the river.

The light of the torch barely illuminated a certain range, and the Song Army boat at the front was discovered, and the guard post immediately rang the gong: "Dangdangdang!"

All the cadres and allied troops were awakened, and quickly entered the defensive positions one by one.

The Song army is here in the direction of the lord. There are more than a thousand soldiers of the Song army who landed this time. After being discovered, Song general Tan Jin yelled: "Rush over for me, row quickly!"

The soldiers of the Song Army held their shields in one hand and paddled desperately with the other, rushing to the shore at the fastest speed, "Kill, kill!" A lot of shouts of killing came from the river.

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." Arrows began to shoot out non-stop from the river bank fortifications. Many arrows were shot into the river, and some arrows were blocked by shields.

The foremost ship of the Song Army finally rushed to the shore, and the soldiers of the Song Army on board jumped off the boat and rushed towards the fortifications. Some people were shot to death during the process of disembarking and charging.
