400 Water Battle of Qinghu Lake (2)

"Tell Lord Ye, now the ten warships of the Nanhu rebels are starting to approach Qinghu Temple!" the herald came over and reported to Ye Qianxi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I saw it. Ye Qianxi put down the telescope in his hand, he had already seen the sail on the opposite side from inside, "Go down and tell everyone that you are ready to meet the enemy on land!"

Ye Qianxi wanted to launch bows and arrows directly from the land, and use rockets to directly attack the opposite ships, two days ago, Ye Qianxi had already used all the archers that could be used in Beihu and the surrounding counties, and the warrior monks who were good at bows and arrows in Qinghu Temple and the neighboring monasteries also joined the ranks, but this time the bow used by everyone was not an ordinary bow, but a lengthened bow, the length was almost close to a person's height, and the use of this extended bow to configure a specific rocket could lengthen the distance of the bow and arrow as much as possible.

"Lord Ye, the heavy ballistas have been arranged at various high points on the lake island!" Another herald came to report, in fact, the choice of heavy ballista is not Ye Qianxi's first choice, because Zhou Yanbo likes advanced and rare things, so the Zhou family also has no shortage of heavy siege weapons that use gunpowder, Beihu actually has eight artillery, but there is no ship that can be used for transportation, if the Divine Fire Crow is transferred from Jiazhou, it will be too late, so Ye Qianxi can only settle for the second, use a relatively light heavy ballista, and then tie gunpowder and flammable substances to the crossbow arrows to play the effect of rockets.

"Very well, let the various places wait for my orders. Ye Qianxi nodded.

"Lord Ye, will the other party come?" the herald beside him asked, "Although it can be determined that the rebels are taking this waterway, they found that a garrison like Qinghu Temple, as long as they keep a certain distance, our rockets will be useless at all, and they can directly rush to Beihu." ”

"They will definitely be close to the lake island. Ye Qianxi said confidently, "Just let everyone get ready." ”

"Will definitely come over?" the herald didn't understand why Ye Qianxi had this confidence.

Nanhu's ships were slowly approaching the island, just as the order predicted, the other party had no idea of approaching the island at all, but Ye Qianxi was still calm and relaxed, watching the situation of the other party's ship with a long-range telescope.

When everyone was anxious, there was a loud noise in the distance, which was in the direction of the Nanhu ship, and then they saw a huge column of water, and then smoke rose from that place.

"What was that!" the herald was startled.

"Didn't you say that they must have come thinking of the lake island. Ye Qianxi put down the telescope and said.

"That was what Lord Ye did just now?"

"Although Mr. Wei did not strengthen the Beihu naval army, but to prevent Beihu from being attacked from the waterway is to do a lot of work, one of which is to ask the engineering department of Jiazhou House to design and manufacture floating objects that can explode on the water, that is, 'underwater thunder', Beihu's inventory is really a lot, and the effect is really good, a medium-sized ship is directly paralyzed. ”

"Mines? Are there mines in that place?"

"If the other party wants to move on, just wait to be served by a bunch of mines!"

Ye Qianxi's prediction was right, the Nanhu naval army, who was afraid of the thunder under the water, began to change direction and came towards the lake island, thinking that the periphery was already this kind of mine, so they planned to go around to the other side of the lake island and march towards the north lake.

"All ready!" Ye Qianxi took out his beloved saber and pointed at the three sealed boats of the Nanhu Navy and said, "Release the arrow!"

At the sound of an order, nearly a thousand rockets flew into the air and flew towards the opposite ship, and suddenly the sky was filled with space with bright Mars, and the Mars flew to a high place, and then fell quickly, falling like a meteor in the place around the Nanhu Water Army.

"Even if thousands of rockets attacked, the results were still very small. Seeing that the archers here were already in the fifth round of archery, the herald shook his head and said, five thousand arrows barely had much impact on the opponent, and the only useful thing was that the opponent's speed slowed down.

"Our purpose is not to eliminate the Nanhu Water Army, but to delay as much time as possible, to buy time for Leng Jiachen and them who are preparing in Beihu, if it goes well, we can wipe out the Nanhu Water Army here in Qinghu Temple in one fell swoop!"

"Do you use a naval army to fight a naval army? Beihu doesn't have a ship that can show its hands. ”

"Look, herald, maybe Leng Jiachen is ready now, and he is rushing over with his improvised sailor. After Ye Qianxi finished speaking, he ordered all the people loudly and continued to release the arrows without stopping.

Although the Nanhu Navy moved slowly, it still approached the island, and then began to shoot arrows against the army of the millennial on the island.

"My lord!" the herald looked at the rain of arrows sprinkled on the other side, "There are quite a few people on the other side, and we won't be able to hold out for long here!"

"Lord Ye!" a man ran over and gasped for breath and said, "Lord Leng and Lord Wei have already arrived with the naval army of Beihu, Lord Leng asks you to evacuate the island immediately and transfer to his main ship for new command!"

"The order ordered everyone to evacuate the lake island in batches, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to the sailor brought by Leng Jiachen. After speaking, Ye Qianxi began to rush to the dock of Qinghu Temple, and then took a boat to Leng Jiachen's main ship.

Seeing that the resistance of Hudao was gradually subsiding, the Nanhu Navy did not pursue it too much. Then he commanded the remaining nine ships to gradually bypass the lake island and go directly to the North Lake, but after they rounded the lake island, a small group of ships appeared in front, not scattered like the nine ships in the South Lake, each ship was in a fixed position, forming an effective formation: first of all, the most conspicuous was a ship located in the center, and it was also the largest of these ships, it was a two-story building ship, and the sails on the mast were embroidered with the pattern of the Zhou family's scattered flag; the building boat was surrounded by eight light ships at equal distances, with two pointed ends, which were eagle boats; the outermost ships were even smaller, and they could see the obvious shaking when they stopped there, and there were only two or three people on board, a total of twenty, stopping at the forefront like an arrow.

This is the boat that Leng Jiachen asked the people of Beihu to rush out for three days and two nights to deal with the Nanhu naval army, which was basically transformed from the original boat, a total of 29 ships.

"I seem to be able to hear the laughter of the group of people on the other side......" Ye Qianxi said as he looked at the other party trying to crush him with his size, and the sound of war drums had already sounded on the other side, and nine ships rushed towards them at the fastest speed.

"Now we are tailwind. Leng Jiachen looked up at the wind flag at the top of the mast and said, "The time and place are all here." ”

"Fire warship ready!" Ye Qianxi gave an order, the outermost twenty boats all raised their sails, the first twenty were fire ships, which were transformed from the original old military ships, and the people on them were the best people in the North Lake, they raised the sails and then rowed quickly to each other's ships with oars, and the tailwind and manpower made the brisk boats so fast that the speed was not good, the Nanhu boats wanted to use bows and arrows to consume the number of these boats, but the top plate protected everyone on the boat very well, the boats rushed to a boat in twos and twos, and the people on the boat lit the fire and fled quickly, not far away is the lake island, so there is no need to worry。

The small boat full of hay, gunpowder and other things burned in an instant, and then there was a violent chain of explosions, and after a while, there were bursts of smoke rising from the boats in the South Lake, and the large boats were okay, but the medium-sized ships had been damaged, and two or three of them were staggered and could sink at any time.

Immediately after that, the eight eagle boats surrounding the main ship set out and rushed towards the already damaged Nanhu boats.

"What is this?" Ye Qianxi asked, looking at a palm-sized clay pot in Leng Jiachen's hand.

"Baking!" Leng Jiachen showed Ye Qianxi a closer look, "This is a weapon recorded in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", after lighting the fuse, it will explode when it is thrown out, and with the help of fire energy, all the wooden things affected will be ignited, and it is the best to use it against ships." ”

"Yes, the ships are all wooden, and that's the worst of all. Ye Qianxi nodded, "I didn't expect Mr. Wei Li to make more preparations for this." ”

Seeing the small boat coming, Nanhu still wanted to use the advantage of size to crush Leng Jiachen's eight eagle boats, but the eagle boat was flexible between the big boats, and the people on it lit one by one and threw them into the boats in Nanhu, Leng Jiachen issued a clear order before the war: use the strategy of burning, not to confront the opponent head-on, but to burn the opponent's ships, so as to completely destroy the ships in Nanhu.

The results reflect that Leng Jiachen's idea is correct, under the burning strategy, the people on the Nanhu boat saw that the nine boats were burned and immediately became panicked, many people went to fight the fire with wooden barrels, and more people who were afraid of death jumped off the boat directly, no one thought about destroying the small boats that were swimming around these boats, Leng Jiachen's temporary sailors met with Nanhu for less than an hour, and completely defeated the Nanhu Navy that was several times stronger than himself with the result of zero damage.

The people on the boat either burned to death or fell into the water to die, or accepted Ye Qianxi's advice and surrendered to the Zhou family, and the battle of Qinghu took two and a half hours to end with the victory of the Zhou family, which also became the first victory of Ye Qianxi and Leng Jiachen in the Zhou family.

"Jiachen, return to Beihu immediately to prepare for the next battle!"

"Next?"

"Next, we will unite with Yejian, first recapture Nanhu, and then march west to seize Zhenglian, our ultimate goal is two, one is to reduce Zhenglian, capture Li Muyuan alive, and the other is to open up the official road between the Zhou family and Linji!"

Linji is a small town by the sea in the south, but the coast here is tortuous, and most of them are deep-water coasts, which is very suitable for use as a harbor.

A few days later, the matter of the Qinghu Water Battle was transferred to Jiazhou, which made the deserted Jiazhou House cheer suddenly, and this matter has spread throughout the entire Zhou family as quickly as possible to inspire everyone's confidence.

Zhihe Mansion in Northern Metropolis Province, now Li Qingqian is guarding here, and what he has to face is the enemy of Yun Zhen.
