The battle between the two sides is not only a test of military and civilian strength, but also a test of strong willpower.
When Yan Yu's naval warships appeared on the Yangtze River, they had already formed a very effective encirclement of the Song army, which was Yan Yu's so-called hollow attack.
And the complete hollowness is the real vacuum state, the state of fatigue, so that the enemy has inadvertently slipped to the end of defeat.
Naval attack ships are equipped with artillery, generally speaking, this wooden Dafu ship is a product of war that only appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, but under the strong impetus of Yan Yu, the current Navy Manufacturing Bureau has the most up-to-date design, this time is a test of the water and a real test of war.
Each ship is equipped with hundreds of large and small artillery, among which the ocean-going attack gun becomes the main force, its range is generally five kilometers that is, ten miles away, such an excellent design can attack the enemy formation on any bank of the Yangtze River, in the era of cold weapons, preemptively, or rather, this kind of strong ship artillery has become a mobile battle fortress.
As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold.
Neither side of the battle last night had yet to give the order to retreat, and the ultimate goal of the exhausting battle was to see who could survive whom.
This is an outcome that no one wants to see.
But the result will always come, especially for the Song army team who want a quick victory.
After a night of fierce fighting, their fatigue became even more pronounced.
Yan Yu built a high platform within the Chinese army to observe the situation between the enemy and us, and cast a fortress on the small slope of Henghuang Mountain far away from the battlefield, which was arranged within the established plan before, but their role was really revealed to be a final decisive battle this morning.
Li Yu couldn't imagine how cruel the war really was.
But as an artistic genius, he was able to use his imagination to depict this battlefield with masculinity and blood.
"Total Attack" Under Yan Yu's order, the war drums, thunder and thunder shook the sky, the axes and hooks and forks were vertical and horizontal, and the bloodstained soldiers could no longer see whether it was the Tang Army or the Song Army.
The trumpeter blew the order to launch a general attack, which was an invention of Yanyu and was modified from a group of musical instruments called suona in the north.
Because both sides were beating drums, the sound of the earth-shattering sound made it impossible for the soldiers to tell which side was attacking.
In all directions, it was mighty, but when this loud trumpet sounded melodiously, it was like a fresh breeze, because it was a direct order from the commander of the Chinese army.
"Rush!"
"Blow the Trumpet Louder" Under Yan Yu's supervision, hundreds of trumpeters were distributed in all directions of the battlefield, making loud trumpets, and their rhythm was almost the same, so that the soldiers in every direction could hear the commander's orders.
It's loud and rhythmic.
A simple voice full of fighting spirit echoed in my ears for a long time.
Naturally, Song Jun will not show weakness.
In fact, this time the army brought by Zhao Kuangyin far exceeded Yan Yu's thoughts.
In addition, in the past five or six years, the Great Song Dynasty has never stopped preparing for the Southern and Northern Wars, the northern expedition to the Mongols and other departments, the western expansion of the Hexi Corridor, and the opening up of the official road to the Western Regions, which has been occupied by the Uighurs for decades.
Although the Great Song Dynasty's attack on the Tang Dynasty this time was expected by Yanyu, frankly speaking, it was indeed early.
It is impossible for one country to win two huge wars at the same time.
After Yan Yu got the information of the Song army collected by Red Sleeve Tian, he knew that although Zhao Kuangyin was holding high the banner of the Chinese army, he himself was not in the army, but in the battlefield in the north, and was leading the most powerful army of the Great Song Dynasty to fight against the Mongols.
This is good news, but at the same time, it also confirms the true strength of the Great Song Dynasty from the side.
Later generations often say that Tang Qiang and Song were rich, and what I want to explain from a certain level is that the strength of the soldiers and even the customs and people of the Song Dynasty are not as strong as those of the Tang Dynasty.
That's true, but it's not.
Many people say that the Song Dynasty was iron-blooded and strong Song.
Because of the Jurchens and Mongols from the north and the Dangxiang people from the west, the Southern Tang and Wu Yue in the south, and even the various regimes of the Southern Han Dynasty have surrounded it.
Under such circumstances, from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, it was able to resist the iron cavalry of the Great Liao, and the onslaught of the Great Jin lasted for more than 200 years, and it was indeed not easy.
You say that it is weak, but judging from the facts, its national strength, especially its military power, does not appear to be so in the slightest.
Maybe it's because the enemy in the north is too strong.
This is probably one of the most important reasons.
This has led to a skewed perception of its military power.
However, in addition to the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, there is no other dynasty in China that has been broken, but it has been able to continue in the southern territory for hundreds of years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which will be praised by future generations.
But perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that they have not attached great importance to the opening of the battlefield in the south, and they said that they did not attach importance to it, but they also sent first-class generals like Pan Mei and Cao Bin to lead the army.
It is said that it attaches importance to it, but the reserve food and grass of their 300,000 iron horsemen is not enough at all, and they just want to solve it quickly.
Yan Yu learned from the red sleeves that Song Jun's original plan this time was to destroy the Tang Dynasty in three months.
So arrogant?
That's right!
This is war, this is the military deployment and strategic planning made by a very efficient and powerful country, and it attaches great importance to strategy, 300,000 warriors who have just fought with the Khitan and Mongols from the northern grasslands have been transferred to the front line of the Yangtze River, and then two famous generals at that time led the army, but in terms of tactics, they are not prepared for a protracted battle at all, there is a shortage of food and grass, and the logistics support is very scarce, and it is he who has not made any preparations for this battle for more than three months.
But this time, because Yan Yu really had this very core military intelligence, the secret agents of the hidden dragon had already passed all this to Red Sleeve Tim.

This smart girl can distinguish which is more important, in the face of a strong enemy, she will not lie about some worthless information in order to save the message jade, she really wants him to stay in Jiangning, but the enemy's group of tigers and wolves did not portray them very badly at all.
She knew that Yanyu would go, and she also knew that this was a very difficult battle.
But she also understands a truth, if the capital of the country dies and Yanyu falls, no matter how wonderful the story is, there will be no such thing as a hidden dragon, and what is the use of herself.
These are the basis and origin of Yan Yu's understanding of the opponent, and they are the most important part of everything that determines the outcome of the war.
When he did not hesitate to bring Datang's navy and air force to the front line for training, he naturally knew that victory and defeat could not depend on them, and the most important thing was naturally the cavalry troops.
The two sides fought in a chaotic battle, and to be honest, it looked like there was no way to fight.
How could such a battlefield be a battle under the command of two famous generals of the time?
What they didn't know was that this was exactly what Yan Yu wanted.
I haven't read the book of soldiers, although among the deputy generals and generals, there are also many expert talents in the arrangement of troops, but Yan Yu believes that the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, although the ancients have a good way of fighting, and can concentrate their fists to hit a point, but there is also a big problem, that is, the sergeants only see each other, the formation is chaotic, and they are immediately defeated.
He emphasized individual combat, so as early as a few years ago, all kinds of troops under Bai Xiaofei and Jiang Han were strictly trained in the direction of individual combat.
In this way, looking at the very neat and uniform Song Army, the first point is naturally to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
