    The sound of the crossbow strings vibrating violently seemed to make the air vibrate violently.  ¡Ý¡Ý, The crossbows chosen by these Bohai crossbowmen were all refined from the former Liao Dynasty.  The Liao people built their country with a strong army, although their greatest strength was thousands of cavalry.  But the Song army¡¯s greatest skill could not be learned from the Liao people.  Although the crossbow machines prepared by the Liao people were far inferior to those of the Song Dynasty, which could produce tens of thousands of them every year due to its strong production capacity.  But over time, the number is still huge.  The Jurchen iron horses mounted to fight, but they always found these slow-winding crossbows troublesome.  And those pale-headed soldiers of the Jurchen Auxiliary Army are also accustomed to using various horn bows.  The Bohai strong crossbowmen have been fighting with crossbows for many years, and they inherited these refined ordnance after the fall of the former Liao Dynasty.  Before the East Route Army went south, these Bohai Navy horses underwent a long period of training.  Shooting in formation at this moment, the power that can be exerted at one time is comparable to the more elite infantry archers in the Song Army!  The wooden feather short arrow fired by the crossbow machine is extremely powerful because it is strung up by stirrups.  And it can reach farther than a bow and arrow.  However, due to its light weight, the arrow's ability to store speed is not strong. Although it has a longer range, its penetrating power is greatly reduced beyond a distance of seventy or eighty steps.  But now the Song Army's boat is only fifty steps away from the Bohai crossbowmen on the river bank. This is the distance where the arrows can exert their greatest destructive power. Within this range, these roaring arrows can even penetrate iron armor.  through!  Hundreds of arrows shot out with Yang Zhong¡¯s order, whizzing towards the Song Army boat rushing at the front, and then the auxiliary army behind them handed over a new crossbow with a good string, and then another round of shooting!  Li Jun stood on the boat and immediately spotted hundreds of crossbows tilted up.  Point to the center of the river.  It's not as good as Li Jun's order for everyone to be more vigilant.  The sound of dense tearing of the air roared.  Hundreds of arrows have already been fired.  Immediately, holes were opened in the three layers of cooked cowhide hung on the side of the ship.  As for the oarsmen and shooters who were sitting or standing on both sides of the ship, some suddenly screamed in pain and fell to the sky, falling heavily on the ship's plank. Blood suddenly gushes out, turning the plank of the ship red.  It¡¯s one piece!  Several arrows also passed by Li Jun's ears with the sound of wind. One of them lost its strength after penetrating the cowhide and fell softly.  Li Jun grabbed it in his hand.  Looking back, the sergeants on the ship had long been accustomed to such fighting scenes. When they were suddenly injured, someone immediately went to treat the injured, and the archers also hurriedly lowered themselves and accelerated the winding speed.  The sergeants who were in charge of the crossbows used all their strength to twist the strings, and no one was panicked.  It can be seen that more than ten sergeant oarsmen suddenly fell down on the boat, and the sound of painful groans suddenly sounded.  After all, those oarsmen were conscripted boatmen, and they had just massacred the Tartars unilaterally.  The oarsmen were so motivated that they rowed the boat almost out of the water.  At this time, when they saw their brothers falling down in front of them, with blood splattering, many people screamed in surprise, threw away the wood pulp and used their hands and feet to crawl under the cabin.  Without the control of these oarsmen, the towing boat going upstream suddenly slowed down. Under the push of the current, it slowly rolled sideways, and it was about to lose control!  Li Jun quickly looked back. On the river bank, the large group of Tartar crossbowmen wearing pointed leather hats and pheasant feathers on their heads were shooting two pre-strung crossbows. They all quickly ducked behind the side signs.  , without waiting to see the results of the battle, without cheering or shouting, without doing any unnecessary things, just winding up again quickly.  To the east, the troops of the Tartar tribe, who were still suffering blows and suffered heavy casualties, burst into loud cheers and roars when they saw a Song army boat finally being shot across the river!  These southern boats are not invulnerable monsters, they were also hit after all!  After taking one look, Li Jun knew that the crossbowman brigade deployed on the shore at this moment was a difficult opponent to deal with.  He suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist, turned around and rushed back. He raised the hilt of the sword and hit an oarsman who rushed to the cabin and tried to hide under the cabin.  When the hilt of the sword was knocked off, the oarsman immediately suffered a bloody head injury!  Li Jun grabbed him by the lapel of his clothes, his eyes were like spitting fire, almost burning the rower to death.  "Straight bitch, get back here! If you dare to leave without authorization again, I will poke a transparent hole in you! Use all your strength to rush over to your mother-in-law as soon as possible and hit that bird blocking the river!" Li Jun roared while  He pushed the oarsman back hard and fell heavily to the side of the boat.  The sergeants on the boat also took action and pushed back the escaping oarsmen.  The soldiers who were preparing for hand-to-hand combat opened their shields to protect them regardless of themselves.  "The faster you rush, the safer you are. Stand here, and before the Tatars can shoot you to death, the commander will kill you first! With us protecting you, soldiers like us will die first!"  Under the protection, they had already drawn bright weapons in their hands.  These paddlers can only think of one thing. ??????????????????????????????????????????? Out of curiosity, you have known for a long time that the reward of ten thousand dollars for each person before leaving is not enough.?Easy to get!  We are one life, these soldiers are one life, no one is more valuable than the other.  If they can fight hard, we can only fight hard!  A paddler in his forties, with a face full of traces of his life on the water and a tanned skin, sat down silently and continued to paddle, shouting loudly.  "Everyone is seated, hold on to the oars! Straighten the hull and row with all your might! If you help the military master here, you are helping us who live in Hebei!" At this time, Li Jun had already rushed to the rear.  side.  The stern of the towing boat is wide and square, higher than the bow, and the rudder is also hung with cooked cowhide to protect it.  A small number of the crossbow arrows fired by the Bohai crossbowmen were specifically directed at this place.  The cooked cowhide hanging here is full of holes, letting in the whistling river wind.  The helmsman was shot like a hedgehog and had long since expired. He was leaning on the stern rudder and bleeding all over the ground.  Li Jun's last step was like flying over. He gently put down his body, firmly held the tiller, and used his arms to turn the rudder. The towing boat, which had been mostly sideways, slowly recovered again!  As soon as the bow of the boat was upright, the oarsmen were already shouting loudly and beating the oars hard.  The Song Army boat, which had paused for a while, roared again, knocked away the waves on its bow, and continued to rush towards Yixian City!  And the crossbow on the side of the ship was also cocked, the mallet smashed down the teeth, and a huge arrow like an iron gun flew out.  Suddenly it was a double sided card hit.  The thick side card suddenly shattered.  Sawdust was flying all over the sky, and iron spears and arrows were flying in all directions, sweeping over the head of a Bohai crossbowman. Under the huge momentum, half of the Bohai crossbowman's head was suddenly shattered, and the body rolled down and fell heavily on the ground.  In the easy water!  The boat Li Jun was on resumed its speed.  It seemed to be flying by the side of the Bohai crossbowmen array.  The hand crossbow held by the Song army also sprayed a round of arrows.  The Bohai crossbowmen who were well-strung did not dare to step out from behind the side cards. The arrows on the side cards were inserted like hedgehogs, and some of the side cards were even penetrated. The voices of these Bohai crossbowmen came from behind.  Screams!  Yang Zhong stood behind the formation and ordered in a cold voice: "Hurry up the formation and fire hard! Who dares to cower? I will kill him first before the Jurchen nobles can take action!" The guards around him immediately blew their horns, all in a short and urgent tone.  With the sound of his voice, there were dozens of personal guards beside Yang Sheng.  In one fell swoop, he pulled out the long iron sword refined by the Liao people!  After the coach gave the order, the Bohai crossbowman could only dodge the side card.  Fire a crossbow bolt.  But Li Jun's boat had already rushed past, and could only greet the Song army's boat that was following behind.  Seeing the scene in front, the Song Army boats behind them had also been well prepared. They only waited for all bed crossbows and hand crossbows to be strung before they rushed past the Bohai crossbowmen array at high speed. On the shore, the boats and boats were spraying dense crossbow arrows at each other.  !  Although the open cowhide sheets on both sides of these boats were full of holes, there were even sergeant oarsmen lying in a pool of blood.  But rounds of iron spear arrows and wooden feather short arrows were splashed over. These strong crossbowmen, who had carried the expectations of the Bohai survivors, were shot down row by row, and side cards were smashed. Many people fell on the shore.  The wounds on the corpses, apart from the fact that they finally brought a certain amount of damage to the Song army, the heavy casualties were not much better than those of the tribal armies!  Later, no matter how hard Yang Zhong's personal guards sounded the horns and the generals roared orders, these Bohai crossbowmen still huddled behind the side cards and did not dare to go out to shoot at the Song army's boats!  Yang finally gave up and continued to let his sons work hard, and just let them suffer behind the side cards.  And his position was slightly moved back.  Watching the boats of the Song Army rushing past one after another, the first boat was already getting closer and closer to the water city that blocked the river.  Yang Zhong looked back to where the Puluhun flag was with a livid face.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  According to Yang Zhong's original plan, he was to wait for the water city that blocked the river to slow down the Song army's boats, and then concentrate on using the power of the Bohai crossbowmen, and cooperate with other military horses and wooden platoons to destroy all these Song troops in the Yishui River!  But because of Puluhun's random command, the Bohai Crossbowmen suffered heavy injuries before they could exert their full power!  Yang finally didn¡¯t have the guts to fight Puluhun in front of Zong Bi.  No matter how highly regarded the Bohai people are, they are still far behind these real Jurchen generals.  In the end, maybe Puluhun will put all the blame on him.  Yang Zhong glanced at the direction of Puluhun and turned to the river blocking city in the distance. He hoped that the arrangements he left behind could still block the Song army's boats. This time the battle based on the river water is far from over!  At this moment, on the watchtower of the village gate, Puluhun could also clearly see everything happening not far away.  The Bohai crossbowmen who were mobilized by his strict order to meet them also did not stop the Southerners' boats.  Instead, the river bank was stained with blood, and the amount of damage was unknown.  Even though the flag of the Bohai Navy did not retreat, it no longer dared to shoot at the Southerners' ships. They just huddled behind the side cards and suffered.  And one after another, the southern boats rolled up the waves and rushed towards Shuicheng.Under the forward momentum, the river barricade that originally seemed to be extremely strong now seemed extremely fragile to Puluhun!  If the southerners were allowed to rush over with boats and boats, how should they explain this to Zong Bi?  Puluhun suddenly strode down the watchtower and shouted: "Get on your horse! Follow me to the water city and fight to the death with these southerners!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  on top of the watchtower.  Liu Baozhong and a few selected personal guards with excellent eyesight had been standing on the windy, wet and slippery stockade fence for who knows how long.  Looking as far as the eye could see, it was just a low curtain of rain and a misty mist.  Nothing can be seen east of the water city that blocks the river.  On the bank, to the west of the water city that blocks the river, are layers of Jurchen infantry arrayed densely, as well as Jurchen cavalry with their wings spread out. Countless blades flashed with cold light in the drizzle.  There was a faint sound of shouting in the distance, faintly visible, and became fragmented when blown by the river wind.  Everyone pricked up their ears and distinguished carefully.  Finally, the shouts were getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.  Finally, one of the guards jumped up and pointed to the east: "General, boat!" Liu Baozhong immediately leaned out of the watchtower and stared at the river.  I saw a boat rushing through the rain curtain on the Yishui River to the east of the Jurchen Tatar's river city!  And this boat also raised its flag at this moment, which was the military flag of the Tianwu Army with red background and green flames!  Liu Baozhong suddenly ordered: "Send troops to receive the reinforcements! The defenders of the military camp went out first and shot at the base of the formation. Yang Zaixing's cavalry troops involved the two wings, covering the formation of the heavy armored infantry warriors, breaking through the Tatar array, and bringing in our reinforcements!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
