    When the first ship appeared on the more than ten-mile-long river that was densely packed with troops, the war broke out immediately!  The first Jurchen army and horses were part of the tribal army. The chiefs, who were wearing thick, damp leather armor that gave off an unpleasant smell, roared loudly.  In the novel, his subordinate, despite his cold hands while waiting, opened the bow string, attached the arrows, and raised the bow at a certain angle according to the distance that had been calibrated in advance, and suddenly a round of arrows rained out.  After waiting in formation for so long in the rain, the bow body absorbed water, the bow string became loose, and the arrow feathers became heavier than usual due to moisture.  This round of arrows rained out, but it did not hit the Song Army boats that were breaking the waves in the middle of the river. They fell into the water one after another, and heard a thin sound of water breaking, and dense ripples rippled in circles.  "The oarsmen in Li Jun's boat struggled to pull the oar, and the white waves separated from the bow of the boat surged.  The speed immediately increased!  Li Jun turned around and roared at the archers on both sides: "Fire arrows! Shoot the damn ones!" The lead boat Li Jun was riding on was the most common towing boat on the Yellow River. It had a low draft and a sharp bow.  , the stern is wide.  Four small bed crossbows can be arranged on each ship's side. Upon hearing Li Jun's order, the archers standing beside these small bed crossbows who had already twisted the iron strings and mounted short spears that looked like tailless iron arrows,  Immediately he smashed his teeth with a mallet!  On both sides of the towing boat, a violent sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and eight iron arrows shot out towards the two sides!  The tribal troops stood so densely packed that they wanted to cover the river bank, and screams suddenly arose in the array.  When these long iron arrows are fired into such a dense infantry array, the damage caused is extremely tragic!  An iron arrow shattered the Tartar's head and exploded like a rotten watermelon.  Red, white, and gray things flew everywhere.  An iron arrow pierced a Tartar prisoner and his castration was still there.  Then shoot through the rear row of Tartars.  The most powerful iron arrow pierced three Tatars in one go!  At first, a Tatar had a transparent hole shot out of his body, while the two behind him were nailed together, with large mouthfuls of blood spurting from their mouths. They stretched out their hands to pull out the iron arrows that were still stained with rust.  , as a result, he lost his strength in an instant, and the two of them were nailed together and fell down.  After the eight iron arrows caused blood rain and screams in the Tartar infantry array, Li Jun was seen sitting on the boat.  From the gaps between the hung cowhide, hand-held crossbows were stretched out. Amidst the soft sound of teeth being pulled, the sound of strings was as dense as rain, and tailless wooden arrows flew like locusts. I saw the array in front of me.  Rows of Tartars fell at the front!  The Song troops on board all used crossbows. Although the rainy weather also affected the strength of the crossbows, the crossbows, which require much more effort to string than bows and arrows, even though their strength was weakened, could still shoot at the Tartar infantry on the river bank only thirty or forty steps away.  It's still enough to cause them heavy casualties!  The archers standing on both sides of the ship firing crossbows were all Kansai men who were not familiar with water, even though they fought on the water by boat.  For them, they feel unsure.  But who from the Western Army is not an expert in playing crossbow?  There were more than ten archers on each side, each equipped with three strung crossbows. Almost in the blink of an eye, the tailless wooden arrows on the three crossbows were fired!  Finished sending three arrows.  These archers all ducked behind the hanging cowhide, sat down and bent on cocking their crossbows.  And the Tartar infantry in formation on the shore were already dead and wounded. Most of the Tartars in the first row were lying down in the Yishui. The waves were rolling, and these corpses were floating and sinking.  The wounded were wailing and struggling in the mud, and the Tatar infantry stepped on mud stained red with blood!  The chiefs of these tribal armies also had their eyes reddened as they were beaten into such a birdlike shape as soon as they met each other. They roared loudly and waved their long knives and swords to drive their subordinates forward.  I wish I could drive them all into the water, just to get closer to this damn Southern boat!  Amid their shouts, the Tartar sergeants surged forward, so densely packed that the queue almost disappeared.  Then each bow was fully opened, and another rain of arrows came out!  This time the arrows were accurate, but after shooting, the Niaonan people hid behind the cooked cow hides hung high on both sides of the ship.  The cowhide is soaked in water, which makes it strong and tough, not to mention that it is hung in three layers, with a layer of fine mesh behind it!  After the rain of arrows passed by, the sides of the southern boat suddenly turned into hedgehogs.  But not a single scream of pain from the southerners was heard, and the ship's speed did not slow down at all.  Still plowing through the waves on the river, there is an angry dragon!  As long as the sergeant is a little able to fight, the commander is a little firm.  But in the battle for supremacy on the water, how could the Hu people in the north be the rival of the Han army?  In the time and space without Xiao Yan, a few years back, Huang Tiandang and Han Shizhong defeated Wanyan Zongbi.  A few decades later, King Hailing raised millions of troops and wanted to conquer the highest peak in the south of the Yangtze River. However, he was defeated by Yu Yunwen's lonely army across the river. In the end, King Hailing died and his army collapsed.  Even when Mongolia was rising and sweeping the entire civilized world, the Southern Song Dynasty still relied on Xiangyang and used the river as its logistics route to resist the Mongolian army for decades! ???????????????????When these chiefs felt helpless in their hearts, the second boat came around the bend of the river and appeared in front of them. Oncoming, first they were fired with iron arrows from crossbows, and then they were hit with tailless wooden arrows.  snapshot!  After the second ship passed by, the third ship appeared in the sight of the Tartars again, and the same process was repeated.  No need to wait for the subsequent boat to arrive.  The Tartar tribe troops along the coast made a loud noise and backed away desperately, just wanting to stay away from these southern boats!  ¡°I don¡¯t know how many Tartar tribesmen and horses pushed each other, trampled on each other, and dropped their bows and arrows. Some people were constantly pushed into the water, and the injured and dead were all trampled into the mud.  Even the chief who commanded them lost his weapon and turned around and ran away.  Both sides of the river bank were full of Tartar troops and horses shouting and running!  Li Jun stood proudly on the bow of the ship, not even looking at the Tatar troops and horses that were shot dead. He just focused his gaze in the distance, in the direction of Yi County City behind the rain curtain!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stretching along the shore  Behind the stockade, on a watchtower, Wanyan Zongbi's general Puluhun was wearing heavy armor and trying his best to look in the direction of the southerners' fleet.  When the first boat appears.  Puluhun clenched his fists.  Just wait and see under the rain of arrows from both sides of the strait.  The Southerners screamed and screamed on the boat, and blood flowed like a river.  But almost in an instant, the southern boats rushed over one by one, but the tribal troops and horses in Jiahe were defeated by the rain of arrows sprayed from the boats!  When the southerners' boats arrived, the originally tight array on both sides of the river began to stir. After receiving rounds of blows, the tribes' troops and horses were seen retreating from the river bank one after another.  They swarmed to the rear, and some retreated under the fence along the river, and the hedgehogs gathered in a mess.  Flag after flag fell down in the formation, which meant that groups of troops and horses had lost command and control.  Puluhun couldn't help but look back in the direction of Zongbi's headquarters. Zongbi's seat was closer to Yi County.  Zong Bi's arrangement was mainly to prevent the defenders of Yi County from protruding and responding.  As for the reinforcements coming from the southerners floating on the river, according to the military information sent back by the outpost, they were only forty or fifty boats and a thousand men.  With such a narrow bird and easy access to water, arrows from both sides can reach each other.  There were seven or eight thousand archers piled up, plus river barrage rafts.  Bohai's powerful crossbowmen and horses are preparing to rush up with boats and rafts to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Are they afraid that they won't be able to contain them?  Zong Bi thought so, and Puluhun, who had no idea about water warfare, naturally thought so too.  When the troops guarding the river came out and lined up, Puluhun was even more confident after seeing the magnificent military presence on both sides of the river for more than ten miles.  But who would have thought that as soon as they fought, this seemingly formidable military formation would collapse layer by layer!  "Puluhun's fists were so tight that his joints seemed to be broken, but he was at a loss and didn't know what to do for a while.  "If we were to fight in the field on land, no matter how strong the opponent was, Puluhun would always find a way to deal with it when approaching the battle. Even if he personally led his bodyguard to attack the battle, he would not blink an eye.  But at this moment, facing the Southern boats breaking through the waves on the churning Yi River, Pulhun's heart went blank!  In the direction of Zongbi Dachu, a rapid sound of horns suddenly sounded, and the drums of the army were beaten heavily. In the rain, the drums seemed a bit dull, but Puluhun could clearly understand the sound of the drums and horns.  The anger contained in Zongbi¡¯s voice!  Not to mention Zong Wang and others who were watching behind Zong Bi!  Puluhun gritted his teeth and shouted an order: "Let the Yang family rush forward immediately and shoot at the southern boats!" The Jurchen guards around him immediately took the order and waved their flags to pass on the order.  Not far from Puluhun, an army of about a thousand people was gathered behind the stockade.  They all wore pointed leather hats with pheasant feathers stuck on their hats.  Everyone was wearing sleeveless leather armor.  What they held was not the horned bows and arrows commonly used by the Jurchen army and the tribal army, but crossbows of the same shape as those used by the Song army.  In the queue, there are more than ten bed crossbows, all of which are carried on the ox cart.  This army horse is the Bohai Crossbowman.  Since the rise of the Jurchens, the survivors of the Bohai Sea who were destroyed by the Liao Dynasty have been the fastest to seek refuge, especially the Yang family, a wealthy family in the Bohai Sea.  The Yang family was also the first to advise Wanyan Aguda to establish grammar and establish the name of the Jurchen country.  The place where this army and horse stands is closest to the water city that blocks the river.  It was to prepare for the southerners' fleet to be blocked by the water city, so that they could get close and shoot fiercely to cover the small boats and wooden rafts that came forward to fight hand-to-hand to seize the ships.  But now, Puluhun was in panic and had to mobilize this team to stabilize the collapsed front line!  The horn sounded and the flag was waved over and over again.  However, the sound of drums and horns indicating the order was not sounded, just when Puluhun was so angry that he was about to give the order himself, and whipped the generals severely.  Just heard itThere was a sound of footsteps, and a general wearing iron scale armor made of Liao people hurried up.  This general is Yang Zhong, the commander of the Bohai Crossbowmen. He is in his thirties, with small eyes, a flat nose, and a sparse beard.  As soon as he reached the watchtower, he loudly said: "Noble man, this can't be done! All we need to do is hold on to the water city. The Southerners will eventually hit us! We will fight with the Southerners in boats here. I will definitely defeat them here."  The Southern Navy!" Puluhun stared at Yang Zhong with his cold eyes and pointed at the ranks falling down in the distance: "How many more people will die? Zong Bi will give these troops to me. This battle is over.  , how many more men can I give to Zongbi? Rushing towards the river bank, it is only three miles away from Yi County. If the Southern troops in the city come out to respond, the battle will be even more difficult! Hurry up and stop these Southern boats!  ! Don¡¯t think that Zongfu¡¯s wife is your sister-in-law, so I won¡¯t dare to kill you!¡± Although the Bohai people are higher than other ethnic groups under the Jurchen rule system, they are still like dogs and horses in front of the Jurchen relatives.  Seeing that Pu Luhun was really anxious, Yang Zhong had nothing to say, so he turned around and went back to lead his troops to meet him.  Seeing the Bohai crossbowmen finally moving, Puluhun roared at the guards around him: "Bring us Jurchens forward, whoever dares to retreat again, chop them down layer by layer! Even if it costs people's lives, we will still kill them."  These Southern boats are stopped! I don¡¯t believe that these Southern boats are made of iron!¡± (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! u?¡­
