Both sides had their own advantages. The warships of the Song army lacked long-range attack power, but they had the maneuverability to avoid attacks from the shore as much as possible; while the long-range attack equipment of the dry army on the shore had strong attack power, but they could not move.

For a while, both sides had casualties after a period of confrontation. The Gan army suffered a greater loss in equipment, while the Song army suffered a greater loss in terms of personnel.

The losses of both sides in the scuffle on the river beach were getting bigger and bigger. General Tan Jin of the Song Army had to invest in reinforcements again and again. Naturally, the dry army could not show weakness and continued to invest in troops. non-stop upgradin.

After the afternoon bid time passed, Tan Jin had to admit that he failed again this time. None of the more than [-] people who were sent to land did not return, and they could not return, so they had to fight to the end.

Before dark, the Song army fleet retreated, and the Qian army began to light bonfires on the riverside for lighting, and organized troops to clean up the battlefield.

The Song army suffered heavy losses in two consecutive beach landing battles. The total number of casualties exceeded 2000, and more than 600 people were injured. The speed and degree of casualties, the Song army really couldn't stand it. In order to fight, the necessary rest must be carried out.

The dry army is not much better. The combined losses of the Xie Congjun army reached 500 people twice, and the dry army lost more than [-] troops.

When Liu Gun replenished his troops, there were not many people left in the reserve team, and the strength began to be stretched. He had to apply to Zhao Junsheng to mobilize more troops to avoid loopholes in the defense line due to insufficient troops.

Zhao Junsheng once again allocated 3000 people from the Cong Congjun to Liu Gun.

In the next three days, the Song Army did not organize troops to cross the river to attack. They needed to rest and recover their morale, and the same was true for the Gan Army.

The Qianjun Navy has been stuck in the water village for the past few days and cannot move. No matter day or night, the Song Army Navy is closely guarded, and the Qianjun Navy has no chance to fight.

But that night, the northwest wind suddenly blew, which was an excellent opportunity for the Qianjun Navy. After receiving the report, Xu Yibao and Wu Xi immediately organized troops to board the ship and prepared to rush out of the channel to penetrate the Song Army navy. Blockade on the river.

The strategy of Xu Yibao and Wu Xi is to first select 60 death squads, use ten fishing boats full of kerosene, and six dead soldiers on each boat will quickly rush to the Song Army navy on the river under the action of the northwest wind.

After the ten fishing boats were filled with kerosene, each of the dead soldiers tied an air bag blown up with oilcloth on their bodies, and then paddled desperately, rushing out of the channel with the help of the wind and rushing towards the Song Army navy fleet on the river. .

"Beat the drum!" Under Xu Yibao's order, several drummers waved their drumsticks at the same time.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The rumble of war drums spread.

On the Song Army warship on the river, the Song Army sailors and generals ran onto the deck one after another.

"What's going on?" A Song Army navy general asked loudly.

"General, it's not good, it looks like the army and sailors are about to rush out!"

The naval general of the Song Army sneered, "They are dreaming!"

The lieutenant general said, "General, the situation is not right. Now it is blowing from the northwest, and the warships of the dry army can just borrow the wind!"

"so what?"

Soon, the Death Squad of the Gan Army rowed to the vicinity of the Song Army fleet. They ignited the kerosene on board, and the fire ignited. Jump into the river.

"Ah—the fire boat, the fire boat of the Gan army is rushing over!" The officers and soldiers of the Song Army navy shouted in horror.

The general of the Song army immediately shouted, "Stop the fire boats quickly, don't let them approach our warships, or we will be finished!"

The deputy general said anxiously, "General, no way, the speed of the fire boat is too fast, there is no way to stop it!"

The general of the Song army saw it, and immediately ordered in a hurry, "Then send an order, let the warships disperse quickly, disperse quickly, otherwise once a fire breaks out, they will be burned by the fire!"

The officers, soldiers and boatmen of the Song Army Navy reacted quickly this time. While raising the anchor, they quickly dispersed with the help of wind and oars.

Two warships of the Song Army had no time to dodge, and were hit by two fireships. The ramming angle of the high-speed fireship crashed into the hull of the Song Army warship, and the kerosene exploded. The two warships burned in a large area in an instant. , Putting on many Song soldiers was blown to death before they even had time to jump off the ship.

Inside the water fortress, on the flagship of the Qianjun navy fleet, which was already ready to go, Xu Yibao saw that the Song army fleet outside the blockade line was scared away by the fire boat. The waterway has been opened, send an order to Lao Tzu, and all the fleets will attack one by one!"

The rumble of war drums sounded again, the flames on the flagship flickered in the dark night, the order to set off had been issued, and the ships rushed into the channel one by one and rushed towards the river.

The fire boat opened the way in front, and the navy fleet of the dry army followed behind unimpeded all the way, until all the warships rushed to the river, no Song army warships came to stop them. Now Xu Yibao was relieved, and he immediately ordered all the warships to line up. Formed into a team and ready to meet the enemy, he knew that the Song Army navy would never give up easily, and they would definitely come back again, so it is necessary and unnecessary to prepare in advance.

Sure enough, when all the fireboats burned up and sank on the river, the warships of the Song Army Navy gathered again from all directions and only rushed towards the Qianjun Navy.

There are only a small number of Song Army naval warships blocking the Qianjun water village here, and most of the other Song Army naval warships are assisting the army to attack the river beach. Xu Yibao knows this well, so he is not worried. He immediately ordered all warships The boat went up to meet him.

"Brothers, it's time to avenge your shame, let me charge the boat and kill him!"

The sound of rumbling war drums came from the fleets of both sides, and the lights on each ship were lit. The wind and waves made the lights shake. Everyone was ready to fight. When the two sides entered the strike distance of the bows and crossbows, the two sides command The officials yelled, "Shoot the arrow—"

The bed crossbow was the first to show its power, and the thick crossbow arrows were shot out one by one. Not only could it shoot through the side of the ship, but it could even shoot the ship in half. It's just a big hole.

When people turned their backs on their backs, the bloody smell spread along with the screams one by one, but no one cared about this, and everyone else was shooting arrows desperately, trying to shoot more arrows in the shortest possible time. Kill more enemies, so as to ensure that there are fewer and fewer arrows shot from the opposite side, and the chances of being shot, injured or dead will become smaller and smaller.

In the chilling sound of bows and arrows, as the wooden boards on the ship were shot, sawdust flew around, some people kept screaming from injuries, some people kept falling down, and the ship slowly went down unconsciously. Shen, it was too late when the soldiers discovered that the ship was leaking.

The bows and arrows of both sides did not stop, and the warships were rushing towards each other quickly.

"Boom bang bang..." The warships of the Song Army and the Qian Army finally collided. Rui rushed towards the opponent.

"Kill ah-"

Chapter 1063 Great Victory on the Western Front

The collision between the warships was extremely violent, and the most damage was caused by the large damage to the hull, some even directly broke the keel and caused the whole to fall apart, and some small boats were directly knocked over by the big ship.

The two naval divisions quickly engaged in melee and side-to-side battles. The warships of the two sides passing by were still firing arrows at each other. For the warships that had collided, both sides rushed towards each other with their weapons. Together.

The most tragic battle in the water battle is the boarding battle, but this is different from the melee on land. The body coordination and balance in the boarding battle are very high. After all, it is not on land but on a ship. The hull often shakes. When fighting while shaking, it is necessary to be able to adjust the center of gravity in time.

There are sailors from both sides floating everywhere on the water and a large number of floating debris from the hull. If the soldiers from both sides meet in the water, if they can see each other's identity clearly, a fight will be inevitable. The victor will live, otherwise he will die.

Although most of the navy officers and soldiers of the Gan army used to be from the Song army, but now they are the Gan army, and the change of status will not make them soft when they fight each other because they used to be colleagues. As long as he can survive, he will do everything possible to kill the opponent.

The number of warships and strength of the Song Army's navy here is only a small number after all. The dry army has an absolute advantage in both the number of warships and the strength of the navy. The battle lasted for about an hour, and the number of officers and soldiers of the Song Army's navy became less and less. If he didn't stop, even if he surrendered, he wouldn't be able to survive.

It was already an hour after the Song Army sailors who were assisting the army to cross the river more than a dozen miles away disappeared, and the general of the navy immediately ordered the fleet to come to the battlefield to reinforce the Song Army sailors here.

It's a pity that the reinforcements came too late, the Qian army had already wiped out the Song Army navy here, and the Song Army navy reinforcements arrived, and the two sides fought another fierce battle.

Until dawn, both sides were exhausted from fighting, and each suffered heavy casualties. Both fleets were completely disabled, and both sides retreated with a tacit understanding.

After the Qianjun Navy retreated to the water village, they found through inventory that two-thirds of the warships had been lost, and the soldiers had suffered even greater losses; the Song Army Navy had also been beaten horribly, with more than two-thirds of the warships also lost, without any injuries. There are almost no soldiers, and it is impossible for both sides to have another water battle in a short time.

After Zhao Junsheng received the report, he brought people to the water village, and expressed his condolences to the officers and soldiers of the navy who had just returned to rest. My mood has improved a lot, and my morale has also recovered a lot.

Zhao Junsheng asked Xu Yibao and Wu Xi to recruit warriors and retrain a group of navy officers and soldiers as soon as possible, and ordered to allocate a lot of money and craftsmen to prepare to build warships and make up for the losses, but this cannot be done in a day or two. of.

After condolences to the remaining officers and soldiers of the navy, Sima Chuzhi said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, the navy in Xiakou of the Song Army and our navy are both suffering losses. Of course, our navy will not be able to fight in a short period of time. The remaining naval forces are estimated to be similar, so in a short period of time, they may not be able to cross the river to attack, but the old minister is worried that they will send the naval forces stationed in Dongting Lake or Poyang Lake. You will be absolutely passive, and you can only be beaten passively!"

If there is anything stronger than Qianguo in the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, only this navy can handle it. The navy in the Southern Dynasty is not generally powerful. There are navy villages in the Yangtze River and several large lakes. Liu Song even built buildings by the Taihu Lake for the emperor to inspect the navy.

Although Qianguo has been building a navy in recent years, and has built a few water villages in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the scale is not large. On the one hand, it is because there are no naval generals, and on the other hand, most of the soldiers in the Qianjun army are from the north. , not familiar with water, it is not easy to train a navy.

Liu Song has such a powerful navy because of his old background in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Otherwise, Liu Song would have no extra energy and financial resources because of the fact that every time Liu Song fought against the Northern Song Dynasty and Dagan in recent years, they lost more than they won. Material Development Navy.
