Chapter 204 Gift of Treasure

Ten thousand meteors descended with their black and orange tail flames, as if they were slow and fast. In just a few breaths, the meteor shower formed by the rocket had already landed on the Song army naval warship in the center of the river. In addition to the warship where Jia Sidao stood, there were more than 20 warships closest to the south bank of the Han River that were not attacked by arrow rain, and none of the remaining dozens of Xiangyang naval warships were spared.

Mars were shot everywhere, and occasionally a few screams came. There were more or less damage on each warship, and several warships also ignited open flames, but they were soon extinguished by the navy soldiers who had prepared long ago. Fortunately, most of the navy in the Song Dynasty walked on the inland rivers and did not prepare sails. If there were cloth sails, the losses of the Mongols' rocket Xiangyang Navy would definitely be several times as much as possible today.

Another neat buzzing sound, the second wave of Mongolian cavalry rockets standing on the north shore had already arrived again... After this repeated, the rocket attacks from the north shore gradually became sparse and soon completely stopped. After all, human arm strength was limited. At the beginning, these Mongolian cavalry had already shown their riding skills that far exceeded all cavalry in this era, and once again vividly demonstrated their superb archery skills.

It was all based on the strength of the arm to shoot feather arrows over a distance of more than a hundred feet. Although there were people in the Song Dynasty who could do it, it was absolutely impossible to appear on a large scale like the Mongolian cavalry on the north shore.

Because the Xiangyang Navy was worried that the Mongolian Navy might appear, she could only keep the battle formation still and stop in place without moving, and suffered these ten rounds of rockets. Jia Sidao didn't know how many casualties, but looking at the two or three burning warships, she also understood that in this round of the battle between the elite water and land elites of the two countries, the Xiangyang Navy was probably losing a lot.

The flags on the Jianghai warships were shaking, and the war drums sounded, and the Xiangyang Navy warships that had originally gathered together soon moved together. Although they didn't quite understand the meaning of the flags on the Jianghai ship, Jia Sidao saw from the direction of the movement of the ship. It was obvious that Jianghai did not intend to continue to maintain the battle formation and wait for the Mongolian navy that had not appeared yet, which might not have appeared at all. They wanted the fleet to escape the range of the Mongolian cavalry and lean towards the south bank of the Han River.

Although Jia Sidao was secretly worried, he knew that Jiang Hai was helpless after doing this.

The Mongolian cavalry is indeed an unparalleled elite in the world. Jia Sidao did not doubt this, and the elite level was far beyond his imagination, but it did not mean that they could really do anything to the Xiangyang Navy, which is more than 100 warships in Jianghai.

Everyone knows that the Mongolian cavalry who dominates by land cannot go into the water. Since it cannot go into the water, it is definitely impossible to do anything to the Xiangyang Navy. Since this is the case, no one would believe it if the Mongols had no other backup plan. At least before that, the Mongolian cavalry cruising on the north bank of the Han River had never done such a thankless thing today.

Perhaps it was because the Mongolian cavalry came too fast, or maybe it was because the Jianghai was too arrogant and underestimated the Mongolian cavalry's cavalry's cavalry ability, so he did not immediately choose to order the fleet to leave the route and move towards the south bank.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Jianghai. After all, there has never been a case where the Mongols used cavalry to deal with the navy before. Jianghai made a quick decision to set up a formation in the center of the river to prevent the attack of the Mongolian navy.

Even Jia Sidao himself did not expect that there were so many sharpshooters among the Mongolian cavalry, who could shoot feather arrows so far with just the strength of his arm.

Two warships have already caught fire. Although they are in the water, Quanmu's warships seem to be out of salvation. The Mongolian cavalry on the north bank still has not moved, either bluffing or resting and accumulating energy. However, Jianghai is obviously unwilling to bet on such unknowns, so they simply ordered the warships to move south and retreat near the south bank of the Han River to guard against the second round of rockets that the Mongolian cavalry may arrive.

The vast horn sounded again on the north bank, but it stopped after more than ten breaths.

As the horn fell, fire lights lit up again from the Mongolian cavalry formation arranged on the north bank of the Han River, and then another rain of fire broke through the air. Although it was much sparse than the first round of arrow rain before, the momentum was not weak at all.

However, this time the rockets could only chase the butt of the Xiangyang Navy warship. Except for a few rockets that could shoot onto the warships, most of the others fell into the water and extinguished. The rockets had not formed a scale, and it was impossible for a mere dozens or hundreds of rockets to pose any threat to the Xiangyang Navy, which was waiting for battle.

Mo Ye, who was standing next to Jia Sidao, exhaled a heavy breath at this time. It was obvious that he was like everyone else before, shocked by the fierceness and power of the Mongolian cavalry.

The charge that was so powerful that he swallowed the sky and the endless rain of arrows could not be calmed by anyone who really saw it. Therefore, Jia Sidao did not take the opportunity to ridicule Mo Ye. After all, even he felt a little powerless for the first time.

The fleet left the range of the Mongolian cavalry and adjusted its formation. After adjusting its formation, it directly rode the oar and began to accelerate. Obviously, Jiang Hai did not intend to waste time with the Mongolian cavalry, but had already planned to leave.

When the Mongolian cavalry is on land, as long as the fleet is careful, they will not be able to do anything with the navy fleet. What's more, when it comes to the geographical environment of the Han River, no one is more familiar with than Jianghai.

There is a relatively narrow waterway in front of Jingmen City. It is the fleet's way to Xiangyang. This is also the main reason why Jianghai chose to join the formation and wait for the Mongolian navy that may appear. If the Mongolians really had ambush, it was the best place.

The difference in strength between the Mongolian Navy and the Xiangyang Navy is just like that between the Song army infantry and the Mongolian cavalry. If you want to deal with the more than 100 warships of the Xiangyang Navy, sneak attack is the only way.

Waiting left and right, the Mongolian navy did not appear, instead causing the fleet to lose two warships, and hundreds of casualties. Jiang Hai was already a little angry.

The narrow river channel is suitable for the navy to ambush, but the environment on both sides of the river is not the same as the current river channel, but the plains of a flat mountain, but dense forests and mountains. The Mongolian cavalry cannot be deployed at all and can no longer pose any threat to the navy warships, unless the Mongolian cavalry dismounts as infantry. But can the Mongolian cavalry dismounted and become infantry?

"Sir, General Jiang ordered someone to send a message over, please be sure to enter the warship."

Zhao Yi walked behind Jia Sidao and whispered.

In fact, this was what Zhao Yi wanted to say after holding it in for a long time. If Jia Sidao made any mistakes, not only would the river and sea not fall, but the result of him and two thousand imperial soldiers escorting Jia Sidao would not be much better.

"You go and send this thing to General Jiang. I will return to the cabin and let him command with peace of mind."

"grown ups……"

The one Jia Sidao handed to Zhao Yi was the monocular telescope he had just used. Zhao Yi didn't know how many items Jia Sidao had in his hand, nor did he know that it was something on the surface of the water, but from Jia Sidao's careful appearance, he knew that he definitely didn't have much of this thing in his hand.

Such a treasure...

"Go, a good horse is paired with a saddle, and a sword is given to the hero. I have this thing in my hand. I will tell Jiang Hai that my official's fortune and life will be handed over to him. There are only four items in the world now. In addition to the one in the emperor's hand, I have three items in my hand, Meng Shuai and I have one. If he wins, the last one... will be his."
