285, fiasco

Wang Zhaodi and Yang Wu attacked Longmen, and in just a few days, Longmen was captured, and the news spread to the rivers and lakes, shocking many people.

On the northwest desert, the main force of Longmen who helped the money fort to fight was even more anxious, their soldiers, all of whom had families, all stayed in Longmen, at this moment Longmen was lost, they were worried about the safety of their relatives, so they were very eager to fight back to Longmen and rescue their relatives.

The master of Longmen Gate is called Zhang Dingjun, he is a brave man, up and down his body, with the strength of a thousand catties, able to pull a giant bow of ten stones, use an eight-sided hammer, on the battlefield, he likes to charge into battle the most, and the team he commands is called the trap camp! The number of people is fixed at five hundred, and it is the most elite team in the Longmen Naval Army.

The two kings of Longmen, called Chen Tao, is a resourceful Confucian bachelor, and admires courageous and resourceful people in his life, such as Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty and Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, so when he fights on the battlefield, he often likes to use wits to win, he himself has no martial arts, he looks very thin, at first glance, he thought he was a weak scholar, but he is actually an iron-blooded man, the team he commands, called the Dragon Artillery Battalion, the number is also about five hundred, and it is the only long-range projectile team in Longmen.

Several other kings, from the three kings to the seven kings, all have their own teams, but they are not as elite as the door master and the two kings, and the number of people is not fixed, when there are more, there may be thousands, and when there are few, it will even be reduced to dozens!

Zhang Dingjun and Chen Tao discussed and decided how to regain the lost Dragon Gate.

"I heard that the leader of the Peach Blossom Water Dock is a woman!" Zhang Dingjun said very disdainfully, "The eighth will actually lose to a woman!"

Chen Tao shook the paper fan in his hand and said, "Big brother's words are bad, most women are not as good as men, but there are a few women, but many heroes and heroes are beyond their reach!"

Zhang Dingjun snorted and said, "I don't believe that a woman can turn the sky upside down, I only need to fight to capture her alive when I go back this time!"

Chen Tao said, "Big brother, don't be impatient, please listen to me tell you slowly, according to the soldiers who escaped from Longmen, the most important thing in the capture of Longmen by Peach Blossom Water Dock this time is the use of fireships for fire attack, this Wang Zhaodi, can unknowingly, gather so many fireboats, even I can't think of it, so I think she must be extraordinary!"

Zhang Dingjun was a little impatient, and said, "Don't always grow other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige, I have already asked the money boy to return to the Longmen and recapture the Longmen, and the prince also agreed, and the warships in the night harbor will be allocated to us for use! This time, I must completely exterminate the peach blossom dock and let them disappear from now on!"

Chen Tao said, "Big brother, don't worry, I don't want to admit it, I just said that this female leader of the Peach Blossom Water Dock is a bit special, she likes to use fireboats, if we go to fight with her, we need to find a way to break her fireboat attack!"

Zhang Dingjun said, "Your brain has always been better than mine, you can think of this method, I will take the team to the night port today, and then set off from the night port, go straight to the dragon gate, the journey on this road, about five days, these five days, you must come up with a way to solve the fire boat!"

Chen Tao nodded and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I'll leave this matter to me!"

So Zhang Dingjun started the Longmen army, a total of 15,000 people, and drove to the night port, boarding the warships in the night port, the whole fleet has about a thousand warships, and the lake is swinging out, black and pressing, and there is no end in sight.

The huge fleet, when it was halfway through, stopped to rest for five days, and during these five days, all the sailors did one thing, which was to smear a kind of silt on the hull, which was yellowish-brown and very viscous, and once it was applied to the hull, it would be firmly bonded to the hull of the ship, and even if it was dry, it would not fall, and it would be soaked in water without any problems.

But this mud can not resist bows and arrows and stones, Chen Tao asked all the sailors to paint the ships with such mud, so that many sailors were puzzled, but they must obey the order, after everyone painted the boat, the huge fleet set sail again, and rushed towards the dragon gate.

The sentry discovered this huge fleet and immediately reported it to Wang Zhaodi, who boarded the lookout of the Shenlong Temple, only to see that at the junction of water and sky, a black and oppressive dark cloud covered him, and he soon saw clearly that this was not a dark cloud, but a mighty warship!

Longmen sounded the horn of vigilance, all the sailors of the Peach Blossom Water Dock hurriedly took up their weapons and ran to their warships, and many archers who surrendered from Longmen all ran to the beach, occupied a good position, and prepared to defend with bows and arrows.

Yang Wu and Zhang Jin respectively took their own teams and rushed out of the Longmen Water Village, their warships were less than 300, and compared with the 1,000 warships on the opposite side, they were obviously very thin.

Wang Zhaodi gathered the remaining fireboats and ordered the death squad to get ready, and if the battle ahead was unfavorable, she would release these fireboats!

Wang Zhaodi was on the lookout platform of the Dragon God Temple, watching the fight on both sides, Yang Wu fought very fiercely, he was a boat, rushed in and out of the enemy group, sank nearly ten enemy ships, but was wrapped in more enemy ships, unable to run, Zhang Jin also performed well, he put his warships close together, tied each other with iron cables, and then launched a charge, with the advantage of many warships tied together, knocked and sank many enemy ships.

But the dragon gunner on the opposite side, fired fire arrows, and broke Zhang Jin's iron cable crossboat tactics, Zhang Jin's warship, one was ignited by fire arrows, and the other warships, because they were connected by iron cables, could not escape, so they were all burned, Zhang Jin was soon wiped out, and he himself fell into the lake, fortunately, Yang Wu rose up and jumped into the water to save him.

The battleships on both sides fought from morning to dusk, and the battleships in the peach blossom dock were fighting less and less, and gradually they could not support it, and they were about to be wiped out, so Wang Zhaodi ordered the fireships to attack, and hundreds of fireships swarmed out, directly rushing into the Longmen battleship with raging fire.

Wang Zhaodi saw that the fireship was smoothly approaching the battleship opposite, she laughed happily, thinking that the battleship on the opposite side would definitely catch fire and burn, and then it would sink, but she was a little happy, only to see that the fireship burned until it sank, and it was not able to set the enemy's battleship on fire.

Wang Zhaodi was not small at this time, she immediately let the trumpeter blow the horn, let the remaining warships break through and retreat, Yang Wu rushed hard, barely rushed through a bloody road, and led less than a hundred warships to flee back to the water village in embarrassment, and the battleships of Longmen chased after them and were shot by the archers on the shore.

It soon got dark, and the two sides stopped fighting for the time being, Yang Wu and Zhang Jin disembarked from the battleship, and Wang Zhaodi personally greeted them, both of them were frustrated, because this time they tried their best, but they were defeated badly.

When Wang Zhaodi saw their appearance, he comforted them, "Don't be afraid, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and today the enemy is outnumbered, and it is normal that you can't win!"

Yang Wu sighed and said, "Lady, I think we should hurry up and retreat to the Peach Blossom Water Dock, after today's battle, we have already lost two-thirds of the warships, and we will not be able to continue to fight tomorrow!"

Wang Zhaodi shook his head and said, "We can't retreat, if we retreat today, the morale of all the soldiers will be at a minimum, and we will not be able to fight at that time, if the people of Longmen pursue, we will definitely not be able to hold the Peach Blossom Water Dock, where can we flee to then?"

Yang Wu was silent, obviously Wang Zhaodi was right, they had already started the war, and they could only fight bravely at this moment, if they retreated, there was only one way to die!

Zhang Jin said, "Our big ships are basically finished, and in tomorrow's battle, we only have small boats to deal with them!"

Wang Zhaodi said, "Don't worry, you are tired today, go and have a good rest first, I will definitely think of a way tonight, you can rest assured, we will definitely win tomorrow!"
