Yang Feng's fleet crossed Arthur straight and then sailed north parallel to the coastline for another day and night, finally reaching his destination on the third day after setting sail. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gaizhou.

"Open the cannon, don't leave any of them, use the heavenly fire given to you by Haotian God, go and punish these sinners fiercely, let them tremble in front of the majesty of my Huaxia gods, you are the warriors of Haotian God, you are the servants of the gods, kill these evil Hulu, your heroic spirits will be immortal with the gods in the heavenly realm!"

Yang Feng, who was standing on the deck of the Dingyuan, raised his arms like a magic stick and shouted excitedly.

At this time, on the sea near Lianyun Island in front of him, hundreds of small warships of the Jin State Sailors, fishing boats and even merchant ships from Niuzhuang were all sailing at full speed towards the mouth of the Daqing River like antelopes encountering lions, and countless Jin Army sailors, fishermen and merchants were looking behind them in horror. On the undulating sea behind them, large warships flying the dragon and moon flags were cutting rapidly with the wind, and on the warships in front, blazing flames sprayed in the diffuse gunsmoke, and the thunderous cannonballs swept through one after another rapidly, splashing water columns on the sea, and between these water columns, the Jin Army warships were constantly smashed to pieces, like floating garbage and gradually sinking.

Yang Feng's goal in this battle was to land in Gaizhou.

It should be said that it is more reasonable to land in Lushun to capture Jinzhou, after all, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Li Xianzhong is isolated in winter and becomes a lone army, it is easier to hold on, and Gaizhou is attacked on three sides, once Liaodong Bay is frozen, it will even become an enemy on all sides, and the Jin army can easily attack from the sea from the west by stepping on the sea ice, and it will be more difficult to hold on here than to hold on to Jinzhou. But the same landing in Jinzhou poses less threat to the Jin State, after all, there are hundreds of miles of danger from the north of Jinzhou, and it is more difficult for Li Xianzhong to cause damage to the hinterland of the Jin State there, and Gaizhou is different, as long as you cross the Qingshi Pass in the north, you will directly plunge into the Liaohe Plain.

Therefore, Gaizhou has become Yang Feng's first choice.

In the sound of cannons resounding across the sea, on the warships of the Sino-Song coalition forces, those sailors roared excitedly.

The vast majority of them in the first actual battle, driving their warships like a group of raging beasts, rushed into the middle of the fleeing Jin army warships, the gunners kept repeating the process of loading and firing, respectively, stretched to the left and right sides of the cannon constantly sprayed flames, one by one ten pounds of solid projectiles to the Jin army. The planks of the latter's warships are like a layer of tissue paper in front of this kind of thing, and every shell that hits them can cause them heavy damage, and even many small boats simply sink in one shot, in the whistling sound of cannonballs, in the splashing of broken wood, the unlucky Jin army sailors kept screaming and falling, and the rest screamed in horror and fled desperately.

Having seen a cannon for the first time, they had no idea what it was.

In their opinion, these long pipes that can breathe fire are completely the demon methods of the Southern Barbarians, which is completely beyond their understanding, so what can they do if they don't run?

What's more, it is the number of fights, and the two sides are not at the same level.

But it is impossible to run, those who found themselves in the first actual battle have an advantage over the enemy, it can be said that they are like adults bullying children, they can beat the Jin army as much as they want, and the sailors of the Sino-Song Combined Fleet who almost have no ability to fight back are completely in a state of excitement at this time, scrambling for fear that they will sink fewer enemy ships, how can they allow the Jin army to escape into the Daqing River. Not to mention the Jin warships, including those merchant ships and fishing boats, as long as it was a ship floating on the sea, they couldn't wait to sink it, forty Zhong Song warships, swept across the mouth of the Daqing River like a devastating deterioration, sending all the Jin ships within their range to the bottom of the sea, and then the Zhenyuan, which belonged to the Dazhong Navy, entered the Daqing River first.

Just into the estuary, of course.

Because the draft is more than three meters, the Chinese Song Dynasty warships that cannot enter this kind of small river at all are lined up at the mouth of the Daqing River, and then put down the boats, and the soldiers who have landed are full of the sea tide and rush to the beach on the north bank of the Daqing River directly facing the west gate of Gaizhou, and the three thousand Jin Army cavalry also stationed in Gaizhou also swarmed out of the city, and one by one the brave Jurchen soldiers rode on their horses and pulled their bows to aim a sharp arrow at the small boat on the sea, and then, and then they were tragic.

It is true that those gunboats could not enter the Daqing River.

The Daqing River is not the Liao River, but a small ditch dozens of meters wide, how can it be possible to let warships with a displacement of 300 tons and a draft of more than 3 meters sail in, but these warships are still not under any pressure when they are close to the coast at a distance of two or three hundred meters.

After all, they are only at the level of some sixth-tier ships, and they are not those battleships with a draft of six or seven meters.

The Jin army that blocked the landing did not know this at all, and with the excitement of hunting, they rushed straight to the beach, and then waited with their strong bows to shoot the landing soldiers on those small boats at the nearest distance, but then the cannon on the starboard side of the Zhenyuan first spewed flames, and then the fire on the dozen or so warships behind flashed at a very fast speed, and more than a hundred cannonballs violently hit the middle of the Jin army, and countless broken corpses were instantly created in the blood and flesh splash, and the Jin army general who was the leader was even broken in half by a cannonball.

This terrifying weapon immediately caused the Jin army to collapse, and after the artillery finished reloading and the Zhenyuan was the first to open fire again, the Jin army, which had been blocking the attack, screamed in horror and turned around and ran.

"Look at it, this is the invincible Jurchen."

Riding a divine beast and rushing to the shore, King Yang said with a look of disdain.

"Before you, they are ants! Remember, you are the warriors of the God of Haotian, and you will be invincible! ”

Then he yelled.

Beside him were the cheers of countless landing soldiers.

After establishing control of the coast with naval artillery, small boats continued to go back and forth between the coast and the warships, transporting groups of soldiers and even their cannons ashore. At the same time, the messengers from Gaizhou also rushed to the nearby cities, Yaozhou, Xiongyue, and even Fuzhou in the south, and Chengzhou in the farther away, which is Haicheng, and the messengers also quickly sent the bad news to Tokyo, that is, Liaoyang, and the defenders of the fortresses rushed out and rushed to Gaizhou for reinforcements.

But Yang Feng did not attack the city.

After he led Wei Sheng and his Red Turban Army to land, he quickly built a camp outside Gaizhou City, and at the same time the navy landed on Lianyun Island and established a base, especially outside Gaizhou City, and even built a simple breast wall, a large number of antlers and primary version of barbed wire were arranged outside the breastwork, and the hydraulic metal wire drawing machine was not high-tech, Europe was already very common in the fourteenth century, Yang Feng of course would not be unable to copy, the cost of large-scale use of barbed wire was too high, but he drove the expedition between the antlers and even a few or no pressure.

He was not in a hurry to attack.

What he had to do was to attract the Jin army to attack, and then use artillery to kill the Jin army as much as possible.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to take advantage of the Jin army's inability to tolerate his foothold in Liaodong, relying on those cannons and divine arm bows to play bloodletting tactics, maximize the consumption of the Jin army's vital strength, and let the Jin army die as much as possible, as long as the Jin army died enough, then Li Xianzhong could ensure safety in winter, and the same could ensure that those Khitan and Han people dared to rise up and resist.

The blood of the Jurchens had to be drained.

And, of course, there is the training of soldiers.

Under the worried eyes of the defenders of Gaizhou, the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army took almost two days to build, and at this time, the Jin army reinforced by Xiongyue City and Yaozhou had also arrived, but they also did not attack.

After all, this is Liaodong in the rear of the Jin Army, although there are some garrisons in various places, but there is a huge gap between the number and the front line in terms of quantity and quality, even if the troops of the three places add up to only 5,000 people, they are also waiting, waiting for reinforcements from Chengzhou, Fuzhou, and especially Tokyo. Fortunately, almost all the cavalry of the Jin army was very fast, on the third day, the Tokyo left behind Xue Wang Wanyan Zongyi led 10,000 cavalry to arrive, plus the original Gaizhou and other reinforcements, at this time the total strength of the Jin army in Gaizhou has exceeded 20,000, and even a naval army stupidly rushed from Niuzhuang to reinforce, but was bombarded into the bottom by the naval fleet left behind in Lianyun Island.

However, to Yang Feng's surprise, Wanyan Zongyi did not attack.

In that case, he can only engage in some irritation.

"Quick, bring it here!"

Wei Sheng stood in front of the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army and waved his hand and shouted.

This camp is supported by an arc-shaped breastwork, surrounded by antlers and barbed wire, backed by the deep water area of the Daqing estuary, a simple wooden wharf stretches into the river, and the transport ships from the sea unload supplies at the wharf, the south is the river surface more than 150 meters wide at the mouth of the river, the north is the tidal flat between Lianyun Island and the land, and a barren and grassy saline-alkali flat reaches the west gate of Gaizhou.

It's actually a moonshot.

With Wei Sheng's shout, a large number of previously captured Jin Army sailors, as well as all the Jurchens on Lianyun Island, were all dragged over by the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and hundreds of people pressed together in front of the camp, and those Northern Expeditionary Army soldiers stood one-on-one next to these captives with pickaxes, and there were captured Jurchen women crying behind them. This scene made the Jin army on the city of Gaizhou cracked, but then a scene that made them even more angry appeared, next to the first row of a hundred Jurchen prisoners, those soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army neatly raised the pickaxes in their hands......

The correct name for this thing should be Warhammer.

Just like an ordinary tool hammer, but larger, the weight is not heavy, the hammer head is only four catties, the wrought iron repeatedly hammered out by the hydraulic forging hammer, and it has been heat-treated, the column is flat on the top but the bottom is crane-shaped, with a hardwood handle less than three feet long, and a belt on the wrist at the back.

This was the favorite can opener of the European armies of the plate era.

Yang Feng equipped a large number of soldiers with this thing, but did not equip the traditional melee weapon Yanling knife, because the Yanling knife could not cut through the heavy armor at all, at this time was the peak era of Chinese classical cold weapons, whether it was the army of the Song Jin or the Western Xia, the most significant sign was all heavy armor. Whether it is the Song Army's infantry armor or the protection of the Jin Army's Iron Floating Slaughter in the Western Xia Cold Forging Armor, it is not comparable to the protection of soldiers weakened by the appearance of firearms in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is too naïve to expect the infantry to use the Yanling knife to cut the Iron Floating Massacre, it must be a heavy weapon, otherwise the Golden Vulture will not rate the battle axe as the weapon of the Song Army second only to the Divine Arm Bow.

Since this is the case, Yang Feng simply went to the can opener.

The Can Opener and a small shield with a single spike are the melee weapons of the Red Turban Infantry Divine Arm Archer.

At this time, this thing was brought to greet the captives first.

"Wanyan Alin puppy, come and see how the grandfathers greet you pups!"

Wei Sheng held an electric horn and shouted at Gaizhou.

"Kill!"

Then he shouted as he pressed his hand down.

A hundred soldiers of the Red Turban Army did not hesitate to smash the war hammer in their hands.

The sharp crane beak was like smashing into tofu, instantly smashing into the heads of a hundred captured Jurchen soldiers, and then immediately pulled out of the skull, and then dragged a hundred dead bodies in front of Wei Sheng.

Inside the camp, Yang Feng looked confidently at the Gaizhou city wall.

However, the Jin army on the city wall was indifferent.

"King, they themselves are used to burning dead bodies"

A Khitan general beside him said cautiously.

"Uh, change the next group!"

Yang Feng said expressionlessly.

Immediately after that, another hundred Jurchen captives were dragged to the front.

Wei Sheng waved towards the sword team, and a hundred sword men immediately stepped forward, and with his gesture of pressing down, a hundred knives slashed down with cold light, instantly cutting off the legs of a hundred Jurchen captives, and in the blood splash, a hundred Jurchen captives let out a heart-rending scream, and then Wei Sheng's hand pressed again, and the knife was cut down neatly again, and the remaining legs were cut off again, and a hundred prisoners without legs were dragged in front of Wei Sheng, accompanied by those burning corpses and screaming.

A roar of rage erupted from the walls.

Obviously, this is a bit of a big irritation, and some Jin soldiers simply shoot this way with bed crossbows, of course, this move is purely to vent their anger.

"Another set of halves."

Yang Feng waved his hand and said.

Another hundred Jurchen captives were dragged out in the struggle, and then one by one were pressed to the ground in the cheers of the Red Turban Army soldiers behind, and those swordsmen roared with all their strength, and the double-edged broadswords as wide and sharp as guillotines slashed down in the air, instantly cutting off these Jurchen captives, and the screams immediately resounded in the sky.

Almost at the same time, the closed gates of Gaizhou finally opened.

"Return to the barracks!"

Looking at the Jin cavalry surging out of the city, one by one in anger, Yang Feng shouted at Wei Sheng with satisfaction.

And behind the breastwork on either side of him, including those brought from the battleship, a total of a hundred cannons protruded from the reserved firing holes, and the same three thousand Divine Arm Archers also raised their Divine Arm Bows.
