Fu Song

Chapter 731 The time left for them is running out

The attack was carefully planned, taking advantage of the only time window when the river swelled due to the continuous rain in July. Of course, the diving boat, a new type of boat that had never appeared before, was concealed from the enemy's eyes and ears along the way. Going straight into the temporary water village of the Liao Army Navy also played a great role.

Liu Zheng is an expert in the navy, and his defense against the enemy is still limited to some known means.

This kind of ship that is almost completely hidden and sails underwater is really beyond his imagination.

All the attacks were with obvious purpose, and they were not randomly found on a ship.

Almost all the rudders of the ships under attack were destroyed, and these ships were almost all on the periphery.

These ships that have lost their direction or even the ability to move lie across the channel, blocking the intact ships inside.

Liu Zheng rushed out of the cabin in disheveled clothes. Looking at the fire rising into the sky around the water village, the thick smoke billowing upwards, and the sound of violent explosions coming from his ears, he couldn't help tearing his eyes.

"Hold the anchor and rush out!"

"Commander, there are ships blocking the channel!" The panicked officer said, looking at the densely packed ships of all sizes around him.

"Crash over!" Liu Zheng roared angrily, "Don't you think that's all there is to the attack? The main force of the enemy's navy must be on the way to us at this moment. Every time you delay here, the danger will disappear." One more point. As long as the main battleship is still there, it is easy to replenish other ships. Send the main battleship to break out, break out!"

Liu Zheng became a loner.

More and more boats sailed towards the shore, and when the boats were destroyed, everyone chose to abandon the boat.

It went smoothly at first, but when they were about to protrude, these main battleships abandoned their comrades, disregarded their life and death, and even took their comrades as their backs, which finally aroused everyone's anger.

The Liao troops stationed on both sides of the strait gathered on the bank, but they could only silently watch the fleets chasing each other on the wide river. They were powerless to fight on the water, especially when one of the Song Army navy warships was in the middle of the river. At a turn, the main gun on the bow gave them a shot, and the Liao troops on both sides of the strait retreated even further.

He didn't want to be like Cui Ang, who ended up turning into a pile of shredded meat and died terribly.

On the Bi Fang, Jiang Xiong laughed loudly: "Old thief Liu Zheng, let me show you today, who is the real Neihe No. 1!"

It was noon time, and in Xuzhou City, there was a burst of smoke from cooking, going straight to Jiuxiao, and after flying to a certain height, the smoke finally gathered together, like a cloud, and slowly flew to the distance.

The Bifang was moving forward, and the faint fire of the enemy ship ahead was their guiding light.

The boat was lowered, Liu Gang was lying in the cabin, and the two veterans paddled vigorously towards a small river branch not far away.And Liu Zheng, commanding his flagship, turned a big bend above the river, no longer escaping, but headed towards the Bi Fang at full speed.

With a click and a sharp horn, it easily cut into the middle of the horse boat. Accompanied by bursts of breaking sounds, the horse boat was pushed forward and moved forward, breaking while moving, and finally , it turned out to be cut into two by Lou Chuan abruptly.

The boat moved on.

The Battle of the Han River allowed Liu Zheng to escape from his life. After a few years, this guy has created a fleet of this size. He has competed with himself in the waters of the Jianghuai River for more than half a year. If so, God knows what kind of mess he will make in the future.

The building boat didn't show any intention of slowing down, and rammed straight into the horse boat.

Yeluzhen was riding on the horse, looking at the towering Xuzhou City in the distance.

It's just that no matter how loyal they are, they can't make up for the difference in strength.

The sailors on this ship are all his confidantes, veterans who have been with him for many years, and most of them are surnamed Liu.

The Bi Fang went straight away, but the Lovebirds stayed behind.

Liu Zheng called his son Liu Gang, pointed to a small boat hanging beside the boat, and said, "Put down that boat and run away!"

Two barefoot veterans ran over, and one of them picked up Liu Gang.

For this battle, Jiang Xiong brought the four big ships Bifang, Chongmingniao, Sanzuwu and Lovebird, and only in this flood season can these four large warships sail into such a battle. He must withdraw these four large ships before the end of the flood season, otherwise, as soon as the water recedes, the river will become shallower and narrower. Not only will large warships such as the Bifang and Chongmingniao have no advantage at all, but they will also lose their advantage. It would be a target for small warships.

When the Bi Fang arrived here, the raging flames reflected the chaos here, Jiang Xiong didn't even take a second look at this place, and immediately led his First Fleet to continue forward, he was going to chase Liu Zheng who was fleeing.

Only one of his warships is still desperately fleeing.

After realizing that his speed could not be compared with the Song Army's navy at all, and it was only a matter of time before he was caught up, one of the warships immediately turned its rudder and sailed to the shore.

As the building boat rushed past the broken place, the broken horse boat capsized directly and sank rapidly.

"No need!" Liu Zheng shook his head and said, "But after escaping, don't go back to the Liao camp, and don't go home. Find a place where no one knows you, and hide your name."

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Yeluzhen received the news that the entire navy was destroyed and Liu Zheng was killed in battle.

Horse boats are no better than saury boats, with hundreds of soldiers on board.

There are Liao troops on the shore, and they don't want to believe that the Song Army's navy can chase them to the shore.

Another horse boat blocked Liu Zheng's front.

Different from ordinary warships, Liu Zheng's building ship is equipped with sharp iron rams in the front, and some iron plates are installed on the sides, which makes the building ship's defense It has an extremely powerful advantage in melee combat, but this advantage has not been brought into play when facing the enemy, but this time it is showing the advantage to the fullest when dealing with his own family.

Although the battleship Bi Fang was bigger than him, it had half more blades and half more sailors.In the current situation of going downstream and with a tailwind, even if they have three heads and six arms, they cannot escape.

It's just that they overlooked one point, that is, the water on the shore seems to be surging, but in fact the water is not deep. After their warship traveled for a while, with the sound of the bottom of the ship touching the ground, no matter how hard the sailors tried, The boat could no longer move an inch.

"I don't!" Liu Gang shook his head.

Liu Zheng didn't want to escape like this, but it didn't mean that other ships thought the same way. They didn't want to die here, let alone be food for fish and shrimp.

"Father, live together if you want to live, die together if you want to die!" Liu Gang shouted with red eyes.

While the people on the horse boat were thrown away by the huge impact force, some sailors on the deck of the tall ship also fell down with screams.

This time, in order to hide from the enemy's spies, the two fleets of Chongmingniao and Sanzuwu wandered in other places, and only Bifang and Lovebird participated in this battle.

Looking at the chaos in front of him, Ye Tao, the captain of the Battleship Lovebird, gave an order, and half of the artillery fired a volley, and a struggling horse boat that had just sailed out slowly sank amidst the flames soaring into the sky.

At the same time as the tall boat collided with the horse boat, the hand cannon exploded in the air above the deck.

Several cannons on the flanks fired a volley and smashed the stranded Liao army warships to pieces.They didn't care about the sailors who jumped into the water and escaped.

If that was the case, even if he escaped from Jiang Xiong's grasp, Yeluzhen would probably cut him inch by inch.

If Liu Zheng docked recklessly, he could of course escape and save his life, but he was unwilling to abandon the battleship. Without the battleship, he was nothing to the Liao people.

As the sky was getting brighter, Liu Zheng discovered in despair that the enemy's battleship was getting closer and closer to them.

When these main warships rushed over, the soldiers on board threw hand cannons and shot crossbow bolts at them one after another. Some horse boats even set up oak wood cannons and fired at these buildings.

The main warships parked in the inner circle followed suit, turned around, and rushed towards the outer circle with the greatest strength and fastest speed, while the small and medium warships blocking their channel suffered disaster all at once. .Except for a very few who are quick to see the opportunity, have good boat handling skills, and the boat is small enough to be able to shuttle and avoid the gaps in the warship with extreme danger, the rest are basically difficult to escape bad luck.

The people on the upper boat tightly grasped the things at hand that could stabilize their bodies, and they could even clearly see the desperate and angry gazes of the sailors on the opposite side in the blazing fire.

As long as the main battleship is still there, it will be able to make a comeback in time.

Docking his tail to survive was his only choice.

"Go, go!" With the sound of drums, dozens of main warships rushed out and fled in embarrassment, led by Liu Zheng's flagship, and in the temporary camp, some small boats or ships that escaped by chance followed them desperately Behind him, he rowed the boat with all his strength in the night.

When Liu Zheng finally rushed out, the entire battleship was also covered with scars, the sailors on the deck were even more dead and wounded, and many of the other main battleships that rushed out behind him were even more unbearable. Some were even crooked, and some even ignited a fire. If the mainsail was burned, Liu Zheng didn't think they would be able to escape the pursuit of the Song Army's navy.

The Song Army Navy who came behind did not let go of these empty boats.

The boat rushed forward.

"Take him away!" Liu Zheng waved his hand.

On the horse boat, a sailor suddenly yelled, stretched out his hand, took out a hand cannon from the sash around his waist and abdomen, lit it on the fire beside him, and threw it at Liu Zheng building boat.

It's just that although the water surface is wide, not all the places below are suitable for boating. In the night, there are occasional clanging sounds, which means that a boat has run aground.

The navy's complete failure kicked him hard on his ass, which had already had one foot on the edge of the cliff.

If you leave aside the two warships Bifang and Lovebird, other warships do not have much advantage over the Liao Navy Navy.However, the train runs fast, thanks to the headband, the Bi Fang and the Lovebird are equipped with heavy guns at the bow and stern, and on the third deck, the two battleships have a total of sixteen guns.

Compared with the various auxiliary warships on the periphery, the main battleship is taller and taller, with thicker skin and thicker skin. With the speed, it is no problem to knock over and push those small boats away.

On the side of the Liao Army Navy, even Liu Zheng's flagship is only equipped with oak wood cannons, and the two are not at the same level at all.

"Fuck them!" In the chaos, someone roared.

Liu Zheng realized that at such a critical point, he had no time to organize everyone to retreat in a safe and orderly manner. In such chaos, everyone would naturally have the desire to survive, and the result of everyone wanting to escape was that everyone None can escape.

"Leave a root for the Liu family. I failed. No matter whether it is from the Liao Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, we will not let our Liu family go. The old Liu family must leave someone who burns paper! Dafu, Ergui, bring Young Master, go!" Liu Zheng slashed Liu Gang's neck with his palm, Liu Gang's eyes darkened, and he fell slowly to the ground.

Liu Zheng's flagship lifted anchor amidst his angry roar, and the four impellers spun slowly to rapidly. Its huge hull, just by turning around, directly knocked over a knifefish boat beside it, and the knifefish boat was on board. More than a dozen sailors screamed and fell into the water. Before these people could escape, the hull of the building was already crushed, and the huge suction force easily sucked the fallen sailors into the belly of the ship. Under the circumstances, no matter how good their water skills are, this time, they are still alive and dead.

"Son of a bitch, let's all die together!"

People on the deck of the tall ship panicked and avoided.

The sailors on the ship only hesitated for a moment, then immediately jumped off the warship and swam desperately towards the shore.

A horse boat in front is desperately turning its course. The captain of the horse boat seems to be an extremely experienced expert. As soon as the attack started, he was ready to run out, but the horse boat is used as a transport vessel, and the hull is not Small.Just when the hull of the ship was swayed, the three-storey building had already crashed into it like a mountain top.

The entire temporary camp has become a mess.

What would these sailors do without a ship?

And if he loses this fleet, so that the Song Army's navy will no longer have any restraint, then the Liao Army's army that is besieging Xuzhou will be in danger.

It's just that the speed is getting slower and slower.

There is not much time left for myself.

Presumably at this time, the reserve team of the Song people is already ready to go. They gathered at the pier, waiting for their fleet to load them, and then through these criss-crossing waterways, they arrived at the rear of the Liao army and cut off the Liao army. The return route cut off the Liao army's food road.

Maybe it will be seven or eight days, maybe three or five days. If I still can't take Xuzhou City, then I can only issue an order to retreat across the board.

The Southern Expedition failed.

At the same time, it is almost declaring the failure of Daliao.
