The singing sounds are shaking, the drum sounds are shaking the sky. The pen and the fun are Ww W.
『BiQuGe.
CN Zhang Hongfan looked ahead. His warships could not stand against the tide. Although he tried hard to move forward, he took a step further. The vanguard army had been crippled and still could not advance near the Song army's warship. The emperor flag on the ship of the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty was still waving in the wind. He really couldn't figure out why the sheep-like southerners reunited after the defeat and became so strong and unbreakable. Victory always seemed to be close at hand but as if they were far away.
However, Zhang Hongfan knew that they had no chance at this moment. The right time, place, and people all turned to the Song army. They had the upper hand and took advantage of the retreating tide. In addition, they successfully resisted their own attacks and would inevitably have a great morale. He lost Li Heng's army first, and failed two attacks. The troops had lost nearly half of them. The fierce battle for one day was even more scarce and the morale was low. Looking at the Song army had turned the bow of the ship. From his own perspective, they were definitely not taking the opportunity to break through, but they were preparing to take advantage of the situation to counterattack and fight against him.
"You are handsome, please retreat, you can't do anything!" an aide walked over and said.
"There is no way out!" Zhang Hongfan said with a wry smile and shook his head.
"Shishou has tried his best, and Khan will not blame him. We can mobilize elite troops to make a comeback!" the aide advised again.
"I have no face to see the Khan again when the army is defeated here, and the enemy wants to take the head of this commander and then hurry up!" Zhang Hongfan smiled, his face without any sign of sadness and joy.
"We are handsome, although we are at a disadvantage, as long as we go, we will be able to reach the estuary. When we get to the sea, the sky is high and the sea is wide. As long as we go to Guangzhou, they will not be able to do anything!" the staff advised him.
"Many of my Zhang family members join the army, some die in the battlefield, but no one retreats in the face of battle!" Zhang Hongfan rebuked sternly, "Tell me the order of commander to attack the enemy emperor's boat with all my strength and kill this son!"
“Everything is handsome…”
"No need to say much. Regardless of whether this battle is planned or not, just relying on his dad to take the boat first to rush forward, it will definitely be the enemy of our dynasty in the future. Today, let me clear the troubles for the Khan!" Zhang Hongfan looked at the Emperor's boat that was like a wild horse that broke away from the reins, tightly tied his belt in his waist, and said with a helmet in front of him.
“Everything is handsome…”
"You can change the boat and report the situation of this battle to the Khan. He said that Hongfan has done his best and hopes to be kind to his family!" Zhang Hongfan looked at the aide who had followed his father to fight south and north since childhood and assisted him for many years, and sighed. After saying that, his two personal guards took him away regardless of his struggle, got off the boat and left the boat south and left.
"Once the enemy ship approaches, you can board the ship. You must kill this boy!" At this moment, the Song army had already gone downstream. The emperor boat relied on its tall hull to rush left and right. The ones that hit were broken, and the ones that were next to each other were rotten. He bumped into a way in his own ship formation and headed straight to the central army. Zhang Hongfan pulled out his battle knife and said to his left and right guards, and his words were full of determination...

The Sheji took the lead in rushing out of the array and rushed towards the enemy formation with an unyielding momentum. Although the crossbows on the ship were still firing continuously, sweeping every enemy ship passing by. But the most powerful weapon at this moment was its strong hull, and the large warships could not withstand its collision, while the medium-sized warships simply crushed directly. Seeing the giant rushing around, the enemy ships avoided it, and no one dared to test their attacks. The warships following behind had also taken action, but at this time the role had changed, and the attacking Song army was attacking. They threw ropes to pull the enemy ship closer and jumped to seize the ship.
"The sound of killing is bloody, the battlefield is tragic, the enemy of a foreign race, when will it be killed..." Ni Liang stood on the second deck with a shield, the knife in his hand had already been unsheathed, and sang loudly with the sound of drums. His face was neither surprised nor happy, and his eyes were sharp, but he was not as stupid as ever.
"Calling artillery at the bottom of the two sides, holding a blade to guard!" As the ship of the Sheji gradually slowed down, the impact force was slowly weakened, and an enemy ship approached. At this time, the crossbows could not exert any more power. Ni Liang ordered the artillery soldiers to turn to guard the warships and prevent the enemy from boarding the boat.
"Cut the ropes and shoot arrows!" Ni Liang looked at the battlefield and issued orders to those enemy ships that threw their hook ropes and tried to close the two ships to gang. He just ordered them to shoot arrows and drive them away, cutting them off, and did not want to entangle them. His goal was very clear, the enemy ship that raised the high flag of the commander.
"The teams gathered on the starboard side and were ready to put down the suspension bridge!" The distance to the enemy's commander ship was getting closer and closer, and the other party seemed to have targeted them and rushed towards them against the current. Ni Liang judged the situation and ordered the soldiers to be concentrated on the starboard side.
"Rise the shield and shoot the arrow!" The two ships quickly approached, and after entering the shooting distance, the enemy's arrows were scattered. Ni Liang bent over and raised his shield to cover them, and at the same time ordered a counterattack. The archers on the Sheji and the crossbows arranged on the side of the second and third floors were immediately in harmony. Thinking about the tallness of the Sheji, the enemy's ship's roof deck was only as high as the second floor deck, and they had only 2,000 combat soldiers, and they also had crossbows to help with the battle. They shot at the enemy from a high point. For a moment, the arrows in the air were like locusts, and they quickly suppressed the enemy's archers, but some were injured by the stray arrows under the raid.
"Release the suspension bridge!" Of course, the Sheji wanted to use its advantage to sank the opponent, but the other party dexterously avoided several times of turning. When the two ships intersected, Ni Liang ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered.
The top of this suspension bridge is inlaid with a hook knife, about three feet wide. Once it is placed on the enemy ship, it can be firmly grasped, making the enemy ship unable to escape, and can also be used as a bridge to cross the ship. With his order, three suspension bridges on the starboard side were placed at the same time and mounted on the enemy's commander's ship, connecting the two ships together. The enemy seemed to be more anxious than the Song army. The moment the suspension bridge fell, they had already grown up and stepped onto the suspension bridge, but were swept down by a rain of arrows, and a few of them escaped were killed by the Song army lying on the side. Seeing that the suspension bridge was not easy, the Yuan army threw out hook ropes, carried long swords on their backs, or simply held a knife with their mouths, climbed towards the Song ship from all over the place to break through.
"Grenadier, drop bombs!" Ni Liang roared. As soon as he finished speaking, a group of high-armed soldiers lying behind the side suddenly stood up and threw the iron bombs with blue smoke in their hands towards the gathering of enemy ships. Then he leaned over immediately, and someone immediately stood up and dropped the iron bombs on the enemy ships. When the Yuan army was still unable to figure out what secret weapons the Song army used, the iron bombs exploded with a roar. When the pungent smoke dissipated, it left a blood-stained and wailed wounded soldiers who were missing their arms and legs. Those who didn't scream were either dead or dizzy.
