Before the sun was exposed, the river bank was covered with a layer of mist, and the sky was already dawn. Chen Fenglin held a telescope and looked at the river bank through the morning light. The Mengyuan camp was located not far from the north of the ferry entrance, and the outermost area was a rammed earth wall of half a foot high. The gate of the village was facing the river. There was a corner tower on the village wall, and a high platform was built behind the village wall, and a catapult was installed on it. Although the whole picture could not be seen clearly, you could see the raised pole head.

"Target, enemy camp, flower bullets are ready!" Chen Fenglin observed for a long time, and at this time he could hear the people in the enemy camp shouting horses neighing, as if they were preparing to gather for fun. He decisively ordered to start the attack.

"Prepare is completed!" This time, the battle was participated in the rocket company under the army's direct rocket battalion and the first division. The two units and four of them were equipped with a total of 24 six-connected rocket launchers. A volley was nearly 150 rockets, which could cover targets of several miles.

"Start!" Hearing the reply, Chen Fenglin waved down the command flag heavily, and followed the rockets to the air with sharp roars, dragging their tail flames to fly to the enemy camp.

"Set out!" The explosion of the rocket was the order to set off. Liu Quan ordered the ship carrying landing soldiers to sail immediately.

In order to avoid the impact of Chushui, the landing fleet sailed out from the west side of Qingzhou Island. Six medium-sized gunships were in front. They would take the lead in approaching the river bank, suppress the enemy's troops with artillery, destroy the enemy's walls, and open the attack gap for the landing troops. The following are the first wave of landing troops towed by small vehicles and ships. They will undertake the task of capturing the ferry, establishing a bridgehead, and opening the offensive path. Later, a subsequent fleet consisting of baggage ships and several thousand-stone merchant ships, carrying two units of the First Regiment, the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion. After they get ashore, they will spread to the two wings, establish a safety corridor to cover the troops' retreat.

While the battle started, the three battalions of the 1st Division and the 2nd Regiment also set out from Yanziji Water Village. They will serve as reserves and stand by in the waters of Qingzhou Island. Once the battle is in a stalemate or the enemy brigade comes to reinforce, they will also join the battle. They will also take on the task of picking up front and sending back and serving as guards. The navy is all involved in the battle. In addition to the task of fire support and transporting landed soldiers, they also have to monitor the surrounding waters to prevent enemy warships from entering the river to attack their rear.

"Cut off the cables, go down the river and grab the beach on the east side of the ferry!" Tan Fei led the first squadron of the Guard Battalion as the first wave of landing troops. After entering the Chushui River mouth, he was hit by an undercurrent, and the speed of the towed ship dropped sharply. The landing ship they were on also lost the momentum to move forward, and the rear ship was towed downstream by the river. This situation is very dangerous. If measures are not taken decisively, not only will their ship lose balance and roll over, but the vehicles and ships towed them will also be dragged down. The bow of the ship is raised, but the stern of the ship sinks into the water. So he ordered to leave immediately and change the landing location.

"Turn right and paddle with all your strength!" Tan Fei on the boat headed roughly judged the downward direction and ordered the paddle to take the boat. At the same time, he took the steer himself and adjusted the course. He had to break through this undercurrent to avoid being taken to a further place by the river.

"Come on, plan to form a formation, and work harder!" Tan Fei shouted to the rear ship while trying his best to control the direction of the ship, asking them to quickly lean up and suppress the tail of his ship.

Because the Song army first used the Qiongzhou Strait as a dangerous place and then used the Yangtze River as a barrier, if they wanted to fight, they could not avoid landing operations. The imperial guards also regarded landing operations as an important part of training. However, when it comes to landing operations, the Marines can be said to be a professional team, while the imperial guards can only be considered an amateur team. Tan Fei worked in the First Land Warfare Brigade for many years and was in charge of training, so he has rich experience in landing operations.

After the ships separated from the towing ship, the cables they contacted were also cut off. Once they were dispersed under the action of the river, they would not be concentrated after landing. If they were attacked by large enemy forces at this time, they would be broken one by one, making it difficult for them to gain a foothold on the beach and would still be driven into the river. Therefore, as the commander, Tan Fei not only had to ensure that his warships successfully seized the beach, but also ensured that the entire team formed combat effectiveness.

"Closing the oars and preparing to grab the beach. Don't stay after getting ashore, gather quickly and prepare for battle!" Under the command of Tan Fei, the guards rushed out of the undercurrent and rushed to the river bank under the action of the water. He selected a beach, and then took a long row to enter the final sprint. At this time, everyone grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, leaned back and tightened to offset the powerful impact force generated by the boat rushing to the beach, so as not to be thrown out of the boat when he got ashore.

‘Squeak…’ With the sour squeaking sounds caused by the fierce friction between the bottom of the boat and the beach, the four boats boarded by the guard camp rushed to the shore one after another.

"Quick, seize the river embankment!" Tan Fei jumped onto the river bank without waiting for the boat to stop. He glanced at the river beach. Four boats in his headquarters were scattered on a shore of less than fifty steps. They had abandoned the boats and went ashore, while other troops were still fighting against the river. Because this was a dry season, the water surface retreated and a large area of ​​river beach was exposed. The embankment was still a hundred steps away from their landing position. As long as they occupied the river embankment and gained a foothold, they could cover the subsequent troops to get ashore, further consolidate the beachhead position, and block the enemy's counterattack.

At the moment, the sight was blocked by the river embankment, and only the smoke rising from the rockets exploded, which made Tan Fei unable to judge the situation in the enemy camp. However, he knew that the enemy troops who were suddenly hit must still be in chaos, and the island must have found that they had successfully landed. The rockets flying overhead were already sparse. He realized that in order to avoid accidental injury, the rockets would stop suppressing and shooting at the enemy, so he must seize this short opportunity and quickly gain a foothold.

The guard battalion is worthy of being composed of experienced veterans. Without waiting for further instructions, they had gathered in the movement and used the tactics of multiple groups of teams to strike the river embankment. However, the fierce battle they prepared for did not occur on the way. When they arrived at the top of the embankment, they only found that a watchtower had been destroyed, with several enemy bodies scattered on the side.

‘Boom, boom, boom…’ While the rockets stopped firing, the navy gunships began to shoot, trying to destroy the enemy camp walls and open up a path for the landing troops to develop in depth. Although the artillery shooting is not as earth-shaking as rockets, it is full of siege. They bombard the village walls with solid bombs, and hit them one after another like siege cones. Every time the village walls made of rammed earth suffer, large pieces of rammed earth will collapse.

"Continue attack!" Tan Fei climbed to the top of the embankment and observed it for a brief moment. He found that the enemy camp had almost become ruins under the violent bombardment of rockets, and there was no other intact house. Under the bombardment of ship cannons, the enemy camp gate was no longer where to go, and a gap of seven or eight feet wide collapsed in the village wall. He decided not to wait anymore and continued to attack forward in one go. After sending a signal to stop shooting at the warship, he issued an order to continue attacking.

Riding in the smoke and dust, Tan Fei led a squadron of 100 people in the Guards camp to rush into the enemy camp. The rubble everywhere was everywhere, and the stone thrower, which was regarded as the greatest threat, fell to the ground. The bodies of people and horses were borrowed, and the granaries were burning with fire. Wherever they passed, they seemed to be struck by thunder. They did not stop at all, and they were searching and advancing quickly. They found that the seriously injured and undead enemy would also make up for it without any appreciation. Some tried to escape and quickly shot and killed them, without leaving any troubles.

"Commander, discover the enemy brigade!" As he was about to pass through the camp, the vanguard suddenly turned around and reported.

"Stop moving forward and be alert on the spot!" Tan Fei frowned and ordered, then quickly walked forward to check the enemy situation. He crawled on a collapsed village wall and looked out, and saw a team of about three or four hundred enemy troops scattered in an open space outside the camp. They were dressed in disheveled and looked at the camp from a distance with fear, but did not dare to move forward. It was obviously the survivors who escaped after being attacked by rockets.

"A group of frightened birds are not worth fearing, destroy them!" Tan Fei said with a sneer after seeing it.

"Chief, should you be more cautious and wait until the subsequent troops come up before launching an attack?" said a commander.

"We are the guards of the imperial guards. His Majesty's guards are the elite among the elites. Can't we destroy these few remaining soldiers?" Tan Fei said disdainfully.

"Everything is based on the leader!" The officers and soldiers of the guard camp were arrogant and arrogant when they were placed in any unit. How could this "newcomer" look down on him? They immediately saluted.

"The Song Dynasty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty. Kill, kill, kill!" Tan Fei raised his gun and shouted.

"Kill, kill, kill!" the soldiers responded in a loud voice and shouted to kill.

"Kill them first to establish their authority, so that the Tartars know that I, the Song Dynasty, are definitely not without people!" Tan Fei rolled up his sleeves and opened the bayonet to rush out from the gap in the village wall first.

"Kill!" The soldiers all pushed the bayonet, shouted in unison and rushed out of the enemy camp, lined up in two rows of horizontal guns to advance.

The two armies were only a hundred steps apart, and the enemy who had not yet woken up from the bombardment just now was panicked. However, when they found that the number of enemy troops was far inferior to theirs, they quickly changed from panic to anger. A few days ago, the Song army continued to cross the river to harass them, which made Jiangbei uneasy. After finally surrounding a group, they broke out of the siege and fled to the mountain. However, they went up the mountain for several days to encircle and suppress them, not only failed to capture and kill them, but dozens of people were killed.

This incident angered the Meng Yuan soldiers, but today the Song army actually attacked the camp again, causing them to lose hundreds of brothers. But now they are too bullying, and more than a hundred people dare to challenge them. So, under the organization of the escaped officers, they quickly gathered in line, and dozens of horse-dressed soldiers turned over and took the lead in attacking these ignorant Song soldiers, hoping that even if they were sick, they would not tolerate being bullied again and again.

"Rise the gun and let it go!" The two sides were very close. Tan Fei would not wait for the enemy cavalry to rush in front of him, and he believed in his own strength. Although they were riding guns with a shorter barrel in their hands, they were still confident that they could hit the target of moving quickly at a distance of 60 steps.

‘Bang, bang, bang…’ With the sound of command, the first row of soldiers began to shoot. They were all veterans with practical experience. They were not nervous or greedy for me to try to kill the enemy in one go. Instead, they shot at larger targets. The enemy riders who were dropped were not as good as dogs in their eyes. Moreover, they had their own tacit understanding, and they all shot at the target closest to them. This would prevent the guns from being fired at the same time, and they all hit a horse.

The distance was too close, and the Mongol cavalry desperately urged the horse to increase the speed and increase the impact in the shortest distance. While picking a bow and arrow, they were preparing to disrupt the enemy formation after entering the range, and then they could chase after the horse. However, the Song army opened fire at a longer distance. Some of the war horses that were shot fell to the ground immediately, some ran forward for a few more steps before falling head-on. Some of the injured and undead war horses were frightened and frightened, losing control.

"put!"

‘Bang, bang, bang…’ After the front team finished shooting, the back team immediately took two steps, crossed the first team and opened fire on the remaining enemy cavalry. After a series of explosions, the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground suddenly disappeared, replaced by the screams of the injured riders. The guard camp still did not stop and loaded ammunition while moving. Their loading speed was very fast, just like the trick used by the little emperor.

After the ammunition is in the chamber, no one uses the pistol to push it into the bottom of the gun chamber. If someone in the guard camp uses the pistol when loading the ammunition, then you can know that it is a "new recruit" boy. The veterans all use the pistol on the hard ground or stone to complete this step by relying on inertia. If there is no suitable padding, it will not be difficult for them. They can be done as long as they are on the tip of the boot of the "iron-block head". It is precisely because this step is omitted that the reloading speed is much faster.

‘Crack, Crack, Crack…’ The military boots with iron palms hit the tidy sound on the gravel ground, but in the ears of the remaining Meng Yuan soldiers, they were like death drums. They stepped over the dead horses that fell to the ground and poked the injured enemy soldiers with bayonets, leaving no living things wherever they passed. This was not the tyrannical and easy-to-kill officers and soldiers of the guard camp, but the professional needs. Their task was to protect the emperor, and an undead assassin might launch a dying blow. Therefore, without clear orders, the enemy must die and must not leave any future troubles.

"Kill..." Maybe it was because I felt that I could not escape these demonic killers, or maybe it stimulated the ferociousness of the blood. After the cavalry was completely lost, the remaining enemy troops also launched an attack.
