Even though Yang Yu stood in the distance, he was shocked by the huge momentum of the fleet's burning momentum. You should know that Zheng Yunming could not even discuss this with him before. Although he was a little unhappy, he couldn't say anything. *Shim*Song*Send Zheng Yunming's secret military style can be said to be taught by him. If you want to think of an enemy, the most effective way is to hide the people closest to the master in addition to the necessary personnel to execute tactics. This was once what he said to Zheng Yunming more than once, and now Zheng Yunming uses it on himself.

Yang Yu had nothing to say. He had to urge the ship to continue to rush upstream. At this time, the upstream was already full of ships of the Jing-E Navy. He led fifty water-sentenced horses and ten iron harriers as the vanguards led by Zhang Weixiao, and two four-car warships were guided at the forefront of the team. Zheng Yunming led three six-car warships and one hundred oars and plywood ships as the support of the central army. Peng Man brought a six-car ship and thirty-two warships as the left wing, Zhang Jian brought a four-car ship and twenty-five warships as the right wing, and the entire army was in a mighty manner, and he hung high battle flags to advance downstream.

After discovering Yang Yu's ship, two oar boats immediately left the team and entered the fleet facing Yang Yu's ship. Yang Yu climbed onto Zheng Yunming's six large ships along the rope ladder. Three wheels on the left and right were flying under the sailor's pedal, and the wheels rotated and brought a string of white waves. Yang Yu came to Zheng Yunming, and Zheng Yunming just nodded at him, turned around and shouted to the bow of the ship: "Tell brothers, save some strength, the paddle boats and plywood boats will not be able to keep up with our speed!"

Yang Xu smiled and said, "This big car is fast and fast, and even the light and fast multiple paddle boats cannot catch up. It is really the first weapon of water war."

"If it wasn't for its high cost, easy to malfunction and easy to be broken by the enemy, it would be indeed the first weapon of water war." Zheng Yunming turned around and said, "Do you remember how Yue Pengju broke the ship?"

When the Jin soldiers invaded and poisoned Changsha, the Dongting Lake area was also occupied by Zhong Xiang's peasant army. After Zhong Xiang's death, the leader Yang Yao commanded the peasant army and used the rich wood resources near Dongting to build tall vehicles and ships. The Song Dynasty was defeated by Jin soldiers, and its financial resources were tight. The navy was all small boats, so it was repeatedly broken by giant ships. Later, Yue Fei was ordered to pacify the thieves in Dongting Lake. Yue Fei only had some plywood ships and oars, all civilian ships. However, he used the strategy of the Senator Xue Shi to let the soldiers drop countless water plants and trees upstream. Then he challenged with light troops. The peasant army was trapped in a plan to lure the enemy and launched a large number of small boats to attack the official army. As a result, the water plants and trees entangled the wheels, making the vehicles and ships unable to move immediately. Yue's army rushed up in a small boat and captured all valuable vehicles and ships.

"It is Xue Yu's credit for Yue Wumu's ability to use this plan." Yang Xuan said: "Northern people do not know the nature of water. Who would have thought of such a clever plan?"

"The wise always learn about war from war." Zheng Yunming waved his hand: "How did the Mongols know how to conquer cities before leaving the grassland? However, they worked together, carefully planned, and learned how to attack cities from the Han people, and actively recruited Han soldiers. After a few years, they have become skillful siege experts who are familiar with Chinese siege skills. Only actual combat can best stimulate people's creative motivation. Even if the Mongols do not know the tactics of breaking cars and ships today, as long as they gather wisdom and humbly seek advice, the method of using aquatic plants will be leaked sooner or later. Chunfa underestimated the enemy so much, he will be too small for our opponents."

"Maybe so. But that will take a few years later," Yang Xuan waved his hand in front: "At least today, the deputy governor can already win the victory."

He was right. In the direction he pointed, the mooring of the Mongolian warships was already a sea of ​​fire. The wood mixed with the heat of reeds burning, and even a little far away, it could be clearly felt. The pioneer water whistle horses and iron harrier boats that rushed to the front did not even dare to launch water raids against the Mongolian army as planned in advance, because Mongolian ships caught fire everywhere, and a little closer would probably burn themselves. They could only spread the water whistle horses and boats in a separate way and set a safe distance to fire archers, guns and bullets at the Mongolian fishing boats. In fact, even if they fired, most of the many fishing boats that the Mongolians robbed could no longer be saved. The so-called naval battle was just to kill some of the enemy's living forces. And the Mongolian army had no time to rescue the black smoke.

The fishing boats only stood on the shore and shot at the Song army. As the Han army in the northern region, although the bow arrows were not sharper than the Jinge Navy, they stepped on the river bank and had the advantage of bow shooting. But on the other hand, the Jinge Navy also turned the bow and bombarded the enemy's archers with general bamboo. This move was powerful. The archers on the warship stood on the shaking board, and the foundation was unstable and it was not easy to exert force. The force of the bow arrows was insufficient to compete with the arrows of the enemy's archers on the shore, but the firearms were completely different. As long as they were fixed on the ship, the effect would be exactly the same as on land. In addition, the enemy had to gather together into a brigade to form a dense rain of arrows, and they did not care about evacuating the formation. Once the shells of the stone cannon hit the queue directly, they were often a mess of blood.

The black smoke flames rolled up the burned white ash and flew towards the sky, and were soon blown toward the southeast by the bitter northwest wind. In the endless flames, the artillery of the Song army's navy gradually gained the advantage in the shooting with the Mongolian archers. The crossbowmen of the Jinge Navy took advantage of the fire and occasionally popped up to shoot cold arrows. The Mongolian army was not supported and slowly began to retreat to the land. At this time, the Song army's warships worked harder to rob the fishing boats that had not been burned.

Yang Xuan bowed to Zheng Yunming, who was standing at the bow of the boat to watch the battle situation and said, "The general won the first battle. After this battle, the Mongols were told to know the reputation of the Jing-E Navy."

"It's not enough!" Zheng Yunming waved the flag in his hand: "Now I don't care about my reputation. I'll spread the warships and must destroy all the ships near Longshan!"

Jiang Hai only received the notice that the Jinge Navy had breached the contract in the afternoon. The Jinge Navy sent a flying boat to bring the victory of the Battle of Huilongshan. In fact, Zheng Yunming sent people to report it. The Jianghai General also knew clearly the fate of the Mongolian ships on the Huilongshan River. The charred wreckage of the charred ships and the drowned Mongolian army bodies that kept floating down from the upstream clearly declared the destruction of the Mongolian fleet in Huilongshan. In the Battle of Huilongshan, the Song army burned all the Mongolian warships on this section of the river, robbed the more than 300 fishing boats, and burned the rest. They annihilated more than 1,000 Mongolian troops, and captured 300 war horses that the Mongols had no time to withdraw. The most critical part was that Zheng Yunming took away the tools used by the Mongols to operate on the water in one fell swoop. It also completely wiped out Zhang Rou's troops' attempt to cross the river south to invade Jiangnan.

When Zheng Yunming's victorious army met with the navy of Jianghai in Huangzhou on the second day, Meng Gong was busy expelling Mongolian cavalry in the territory. Zhang Rou, who learned of the defeat in returning to Longshan, immediately made a judgment. His plan to cross the river to conquer the prefectures and counties on the southern line had completely become a pierce. Not only that, but even attacking Huangzhou became an unattainable thing. As long as the waterway could not be blocked, the Song people would continuously transport troops and food to Huangzhou from the Yangtze River, and Huangzhou would become a bottomless pit that constantly devoured the troops in its headquarters. It was no longer meaningless to stay in Huangzhou. Zhang Rou decisively ordered the camp to be immediately and retreat to the north.

Meng Gong led thousands of troops to track Zhang Rou and attacked his rear army several times. Zhang Rou personally led 500 iron cavalry to cut off the rear, blocking the attacks of the Song army one by one, causing a lot of casualties to the pursued Song soldiers. However, this kind of personal bravery could no longer reverse the strategic disadvantage. The Mongolian army's activities in Huangzhou came to an end.

It was not until the last Mongolian cavalry was expelled from Huangzhou that Meng Gong led his troops back to Huangzhou. At this time, Zheng Yunming and Jiang Hai had been waiting for the Meng Dutong, who was guarding the horse army for a long time.

Zheng Yunming and Jianghai, who obtained Jianghai's understanding of the breach of contract, both agreed that it was a good opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Mongolian army that went deep into Jinghu. Meng Gong's troops were the most important mobile force in Jinghu. The lifting of the encirclement of Huangzhou means that this Jinghu General Reserve Team with a total strength of 30,000 troops has freed up its hands to face the Mongolian army heading south with a strong attitude. As for Zhang Rou's army heading north, if there were no special circumstances, their food had already been

It is not enough to support them to return and harass Huangzhou again. On the Yangtze River, the victory of the Battle of Huilongshan boosted the morale of the Song Dynasty's naval army. The confluence of the two important river defense forces on the Yangtze River also gave the Yangtze River a powerful naval army with nearly a thousand elite warships. The best route to launch a counterattack against the Mongols is to use this powerful fleet to cooperate with Meng Gong's army to advance water and land, and go upstream. First consolidate the defense of Ezhou, and then remove the enemy's threat to Yingzhou.

When Meng Dutong, who was covered in iron armor, walked from outside into the main hall of Huangzhou magistrate, the other two Dutongs stood up to greet him.

Jiang Hai and Meng Gong were former veterans in the army. As soon as they met, they asked with a smile: "Puyu, if I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid your head would be taken away by Zhang Rou."

Meng Gong took off his helmet and replied loudly: "If Jiang Shuai doesn't come, I will fight Zhang Rou in Huangzhou for 800 rounds. If you don't believe it, Zhang Rou will not let him know the power of the Song Dynasty men."

Jiang Hai pushed Zheng Yunming to Meng Gong: "Even if Pu Yu doesn't take action personally, Zhang Rou will know the majesty of the Song Dynasty."

Meng Gong smiled and patted Zheng Yunming on the shoulder: "I urged officials to come out and lead troops in Yingzhou ships, but I didn't expect that in just two years, the officials grew into a person who stood alone; they even saved me in turn."
