Remember [] in one second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-ups!
With the sudden cessation of the rainstorm, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the two armies on the sea of ​​Yashan all saw the Song Dynasty emperor's dragon boat rushing towards Zhang Hongfan's flagship. Everyone knew what this meant.
From the moment the dragon boat launched a suicide charge, the balance of war has been slightly tilted, and this little tilt will evolve into a great victory against the sky. Liu Yanzhi’s idea has changed the lives and deaths of 100,000 people. It has changed the destiny of a country, changed its history, and changed the world.
The two hundred thousand survivors of the Song Dynasty have reached the final juncture of life and death. When despair, hesitation, and fear have taken over all of their hearts, their courage to continue to survive has also been lost. Why did 100,000 soldiers and civilians collectively jumped into the sea and killed themselves after the Battle of Yashan? Because they have lost hope and reason to survive.
But the Great Song banner that was fluttering in the wind gave them a reason to live. The seven-year-old emperor rushed to the death, and there was no reason for the courtier to not give up his life to kill the enemy! The first person raised his arms and shouted: "Kill Danzi!" 　Countless people followed and issued the final roar: "Kill Danzi!" This emotion is contagious, 　200,000 soldiers and civilians are at the same time as one person, regardless of whether it is a ban or a ban. The people’s army, the elderly, or women and children, may have been fighting for a mouthful of fresh water and a piece of dry food yesterday. They are intriguing. Now they are brothers fighting side by side. When a person is no longer afraid of death, even a scholar without the power to bind a chicken will change. Cheng Tiger.
In fact, the composition of the navy of the Yuan Army is dominated by Han people, and the Mongols only account for a very small part. They are all Han people, and the difference in physical fitness is not big. In the case of half a catty, what they fight is fighting spirit. 200,000 Song people change in an instant. Being a berserker, the Yuan army was a bit impatient when it was unable to attack for a long time. At this moment, morale was suppressed, and various local battlefields were reversed.
On the flagship of the Yuan Army Navy, Zhang Hongfan sneered. The Song people were crazy and actually took the initiative to send them to death. Although this approach was touching, it was not wise and could not change the fate of the entire army.
"Fire." Zhang Hongfan ordered.
The return artillery on the battleship began to bombard. The stones fell in the sea and splashed high waves, which could not stop the Song army from charging. The Yuan army was waiting. The archers lined up into the battle position, each with a pot of carved feathers on their backs. Arrow, the bow of the bed crossbow also opened the bowstring, and the huge iron feather arrow aimed at the Song boat. The sword and shield fighters waited patiently. After the arrow rain covered the blow, it was their turn to jump and help in close combat.
Suddenly there was a cry of exclamation, and the Yuanjun Sword and Shield players in the back fell all over the ground. A black dragon climbed onto the deck, with gloomy light all over his body, and his small, cruel eyes looked around. There was still a pale human hand at the corner of his mouth.
The sword and shield players quickly recovered their composure, and rushed to hack with steel knives. The dragon was covered in scales and was as hard as iron. The axe was added to its body, sparks shot everywhere, and it could not hurt it at all. Its tough and sharp tail. After shaking, the seven or eight Yuan army flew up into the sky, followed by their fangs and claws, and drove all the densely arranged archers into the sea.
It was Xiao Zhou who showed great power. This rammer has finally opened up. He can recognize the banner of the Yuan army. He swims over to kill, rushing from the left to the right, the rise of killing, and those who are not killed by it are also shocked. , In an instant, Xiao Zhou cleaned up the people on a ship, and walked to the side of the ship with small square steps. He looked up at the ship with the most people on board and the largest flag. Naturally, Zhang Hongfan’s flagship was the most suitable, so it jumped into the sea. , Twisted and swam over like a hairtail.
The archers on the flagship hurriedly fired their arrows, and the arrows fell into the sea for nothing.
Xiao Zhou was very fast, swam to the front, and climbed up. Amidst a scream, the archers fled in all directions, jumping into the sea one after another.
A group of soldiers poured into Zhang Hongfan's cockpit to protect him in a small boat and escape.
"Asshole, retreat to me!" Zhang Hongfan was furious. At this moment, the flagship can't make any changes, otherwise the whole battle will be messed up. The whole army is staring at its flagship. The head coach will run away first, soldiers. How do we keep the military spirit.
Zhang Hongfan’s soldiers desperately entangled Xiao Zhou, delaying time with their lives. Zhang Hongfan witnessed the subordinates who had followed him for many years dying one by one under the dragon’s teeth. He sighed and had to give in and let his guards stand up on him. After getting out of the boat, he evacuated hastily to another warship to continue his command.
The handsome flag on the flagship has come down. This is an extremely bad signal. The flag on the ancient battlefield is very useful. The handsome flag is there and the military will be there. If the handsome flag falls, it means that the battle has been defeated. Zhang Hongfan’s Although Shuaiqi was temporarily lowered, in the eyes of the Yuan army soldiers scattered everywhere, it was down.
As a result, the morale of the army was even more sluggish. The number of warships of the Yuan army was originally less than that of the Song army. What they occupied was only a morale advantage. With this advantage gone, the outcome of the battle can be imagined.
When Zhang Hongfan changed his flagship and raised the handsome flag again, the situation in various battlefields had already undergone an earth-shaking reversal. The Yuan army, which had been pressing the Song army in pursuit, was suppressed by the Song army and the battle entered a stalemate.
"Marshal, retreat..." Seeing that the situation is not good, the staff came forward and whispered to persuade.
"Whoever dares to retire, he will not forgive!" Zhang Hongfan shouted sharply. He knew well that if this battle was not won, it would be difficult for him to have such a chance again.
The emperor’s dragon boat of the Song Dynasty was still approaching, and there were hundreds of warships behind him. Suddenly Zhang Hongfan had an illusion that hundreds of goats charged towards the wolves, but the sheep were stubborn and tough. It has sharp horns.
The Song man standing on the bow of the dragon ship was the demon who robbed Wen Tianxiang the day before. He uttered a madman that day and wanted to defeat himself on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, it was not a madman, but an upright warfare.
"Take this handsome Ma Li." Zhang Hongfan said that in today's battle, he must go all out. Zhang family is a member of the Yanzhao family and a family of generals. Starting from his father Zhang Rou, he was favored by Emperor Dayuan. Zhang Hongfan was young. Before the southern march, the emperor named him the general of the town and the chief of the southern march. Although he is a Han, he can command the Mongols. Who dares not to follow is the right to behave first. This is trust and honor. The emperor's grace is mighty, only one death can be reported.
A one-foot-long horse was handed to Zhang Hongfan. He stood horizontally on the bow, quietly waiting for a decisive battle with the Song people.
The dragon boat is still ten feet away. The original soldiers are madly shooting arrows. The dragon boat is full of arrows. The musicians are still playing the red river under the protection of the shields. The battle is up to this point, everyone's adrenaline is After the rapid secretion, he entered the mode of fearless death.
A huge iron arrow of a bed crossbow shot over, pierced through the shield, and nailed two musicians to the deck on the spot. If the other musicians continued to play nonchalantly, Liu Yan was furious and wanted to fly over to kill the enemy, but he must stay. Taking command on the dragon boat, he is now the head coach of the Song army, so he can't just be brave.
But this anger and passionate passion in the chest were fermenting, swelling, and surging back and forth in the body, always looking for a catharsis outlet, Liu Yan pointed his sword straight, and suddenly released a huge fireball, flying towards the Yuan army warship at high speed. The bed crossbow was blown to pieces, and the eight Yuan troops who used crossbows were also broken to pieces.
Liu Yanzhi was overjoyed. He unexpectedly mastered the ability to release energy balls, and then tried to release them again. Still fireballs were sent along the tip of the sword. Volleyball-sized energy contained huge energy and carried the caster. The anger of the Yuan army smashed the warships of the Yuan army one by one, then flooded, tilted, and sank.
A group of staff and lieutenants knelt around Zhang Hongfan, begging him to retreat.
"Marshal, I'm not worried about leaving Qingshan without firewood." An staff member cried, holding his leg.
"Fine, nothing." Zhang Hongfan witnessed the demon setting fireballs to destroy his warship one after another, and his fighting spirit gradually dissipated. This is God's will, not his incompetence.
The lieutenants and lieutenants rushed to take Zhang Hongfan into the cabin to hide. The flagship retreated to the sea off Yashan, and at the same time issued a flag to retreat. The sound of beating the gong was endless, but at this time it was too late for Mingjin to retreat, and the warship led by Zhang Shijie turned around. Sealing the estuary was another fierce battle. In the end, only one ship of the Yuan army succeeded in breaking through the siege, and the rest of the army was lost in the Yashan waters.
All warships of the Yuan Army Navy were either destroyed and sunk or captured by the Song Army. Tens of thousands of Navy soldiers died and fell, and the sea was full of corpses. The casualties on both sides were extremely heavy, but the tragic victory was also a victory, and the Southern Song Dynasty went into exile. After years of tossing and displacement, countless betrayals and failures, finally ushered in a victory.
Yashan and the sea, the weather is clear after rain.
The Song Army’s chain formation was completely untied, and the sea was full of flaming warship wrecks and cruising warships, salvaged items, rescued the wounded, and the Mongolian soldiers on the shore witnessed the naval battle. They were all dumbfounded. They dreamed. Unexpectedly, Da Yuan was defeated. He obviously had an absolute advantage, and he lost all of it inexplicably.
A clipper sailed by the shore, and the Song Army fired arrows to the shore to provoke. The Mongolian cavalry were furious, but helpless. They are the kings on the land, and they are land ducks when they go to the sea.
The Song army was able to make progress and landed to challenge. If yesterday, the Mongolian soldiers must have gone to kill them immediately, but the fierce naval battles made the eagles of these grasslands also afraid of them. They moved away and did not dare to fight.
...
Calm and calm ~EbookFREE.me~In the Yashan Bay, the estuary has been occupied by the Song Dynasty navy. The emperor's dragon boat is anchored under the guard of four warships. Song Ting's civil and military officials held a court meeting on the deck and rewarded their achievements. .
Of course, Liu Yanzhi did the first work. At this moment, he stood quietly in the last position of the ministers, his heart felt like still water.
The companions were all safe and sound. At the beginning of the naval battle, Dang Aiguo took everyone to take refuge in the dragon boat. After being blocked by Yang Liangjie, he found another ship to shelter. The battle also played a very active role. Liu Handong alone cut many iron ropes. , They were the first to respond to the Dragon Boat, and they were also the ones who launched the counterattack.
The Queen Mother was fine, she was just so frightened that she didn't leave the cabin, and now she is still sitting behind the emperor and listening to politics.
The ladies of the court probed their heads, their eyes focused on Liu Yanzhi, especially Lu Zhu, and they didn't care about being supernatural, they were full of deep love and admiration for heroes.
The Queen Mother Yang had discussed with the two prime ministers, and Liu Yanzhi had to be awarded a suitable official title.
The preliminarily drafted official titles are: Crown Prince, Taishi, Kaifuyitong Sansi, Commander of the Dianqian Sidu, and Fengzhen Guogong.
