Chapter 739: Battle of Yangzhou (Continued 2)

A trace of fish belly white gradually appeared in the sky, Gong Bin stretched his waist and stood up, and the nail leaves of his whole body followed with a rattling sound. He walked out of the cabin, stood on the bow of the boat, took a deep breath, waited all night, and finally waited for nothing.

The bow of the boat sank slightly, Xu Yang jumped on the bow of the boat, saluted Gong Bin, and said, "Young marshal, we have done useless work, and in Yangzhou City, there is no plan to attack us at all." ”

"I thought they would take a risk, tonight, but I gave them one last chance." Gong Bin said: "It's a pity that I threw a flattering eye to the blind man." ”

"They're either having some confidence, or they're breaking the jar. But the young marshal, no matter what, the person who is now leading the troops in Yangzhou City must be a knowing soldier. Knowing very well that we had set this trap here, he wouldn't want to touch it, even if it was their only chance. Xu Yang said: "I just can't figure it out, their main forces are now in Baoying and Yizheng, in Yangzhou, what are they going to do with us?" Just those young and strong? ”

"Yangzhou City is a big city, the city is strong, the terrain is special, even if there are only young and strong, but only need to command properly, if you fight hard, it is really not easy to fight, but the biggest lifeline is the water village." Gong Bin said: "However, the Yangzhou military village was built by me single-handedly, and it is difficult for them to make any major changes in a short period of time. ”

"The other party must know this, too." Xu Yang said.

"Of course, but the other party can only defend according to the water village, what can they do with their few boats?" Gong Bin said coldly. "So in this battle, the key lies in whether our sailors can quickly open up the situation. We have to take Yangzhou as quickly as possible, and after we finish this matter, our sailors will go to the direction of Yueyang! If you want Huainan to still be firmly in the hands of our Gong family, this time you have to make some great efforts to fight Eyue! ”

"Yes!"

"Is there any news from Baoying and Yizheng?"

"There was news sent over last night, it didn't matter, so I didn't rush to Yu Ming Young Marshal, Jiang Qiao'an fought fiercely with the opponent in Yizheng, the two sides attacked and defended, and no one could help anyone for a while. On Baoying's side, General Zheng suffered a loss. The soldiers on the other side were extremely fierce, and when our army was attacking the city, they went out of the city many times to counterattack, and the messenger was vague, but it should be a lot of losses. ”

"Xu Yang, give the order, the whole army will be mobilized!" Gong Bin waved his hand: "Whether it's Baoying or Yizheng, as long as you contain these two enemies, the focus is still ours." Today, we are going to attack Yangzhou on both land and water at the same time. ”

When the alarm bell rang in Yangzhou City, Mei Jiu had just fallen asleep on top of the big case in a daze.

Hearing the alarm bell from far to near, there was a distance and gradually clear, and gradually arrived in the center of Yangzhou City, ringing like a bell Dalu, he jumped up all of a sudden.

"Go to the water village!" He strode out.

"Zhizhou, armor, armor!" He was already waiting in the courtyard of the government office, and dozens of family members were chasing him.

When Mei Jiu was untidy and ran to the water village with a knife, as far as the eye could see, there were enemy warships coming from a distance. And the gate of the water village was also opening wide at this time, and Li Hao stood on top of the battleship and sailed out in high spirits. Seeing him standing on the city tower, Li Hao brandished his horizontal knife and shouted: "Zhizhou, let's see me break the enemy." ”

"General Li, I'll cheer you on!" Mei Jiu also shouted, somehow, he had been anxious, but at this moment, when the enemy was really coming to the city, he didn't feel nervous at all.

"There is labor!" Li Hao laughed.

Six warships sailed out of the gate of the water village in turn, and lined up in a line above the river.

Beside him, there was the sound of Fu Xiao, an officer stationed in Shuizhai, shouting and closing the door.

The gates of the three-story water village were closed in turn. In the rear, the trebuchet had finished firing, and on the city wall, the crossbow arrows as thick as children's arms on the strong crossbows flashed a faint cold light under the sunlight.

"Six!" Looking at the enemy warships lined up above the wide river, Gong Bin laughed out loud: "It's still a formation, can this person fight a water battle?" Even if the ship is big, what is the use? Xu Yang, you lead half of the warships to attack Shuizhai, and I will deal with these warships, people can't do it, the boats are good, if you can report these ships, our Huainan Naval Division, the strength can be increased again. ”

"Yes!" Xu Yang bowed down to receive the order, turned around and jumped on a small boat, and sailed to another large warship, and then the Huainan Navy Division flag was unfurled, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the fleet was divided into two, half of which came towards Li Hao's battleship, and the other half came straight to the water village.

At this time, the Huainan sailors came with the wind, the sails were full of wind power, and more than a dozen small boats took the lead. These boats were manned with a dozen or so soldiers, all loaded with flammable grease and firewood, and with sharp spearheads on their bows, designed to ram the enemy's ships and then set them on fire in order to burn them. Throw the opposing ship into chaos, wait until the big ship is close to the port, and then jump to the gang to fight.

But today for Gong Bin, this battle is a very simple matter, as long as he approaches the opponent and jumps on the opponent's warship, everything is over. The opponent's six warships, even if they are all crammed with people, how many can they carry?

The only thing that is a little difficult is that the other party's boat is much taller than the largest ship on his side, and it takes a lot of effort to climb up.

Li Hao didn't look at those small boats at all, and like him, the captains of the other five battleships didn't look at these small boats either, their eyes were just staring at the oncoming battle.

"Foredeck, trebuchet, ready! Launch! With Li Hao's order, there was a loud bang on the bow of the ship, and a stone projectile weighing dozens of catties flew into the sky and smashed into the opposite warship.

"Aft deck trebuchet, throw chain bombs!"

On the back deck, another trebuchet also roared, unlike the stone bullets thrown on the front deck, the rear deck flew up with two iron hammers connected by a chain, and after being thrown, it suddenly stretched out in the air, and the iron chain was pulled straight, and it rotated in the air and flew to the opposite side.

A boulder landed near Gong Bin's warship, stirring up a huge wave that rushed into the sky, and the warship immediately slid to one side, narrowly brushing past another warship on this side, and almost collided with each other.

A staggering Gong Bin stood firm, and saw the chain bullet whistling in the air hit the warship that had just overtaken his sitting, the iron chain was wrapped around the mainmast, and the two iron balls rotated and wrapped around the mainmast with a huge whistling sound, accompanied by a palpitating kaka sound, the mainsail was torn, and the mainmast fell down with a bang. The warship, which was advancing with enough wind, suddenly turned sideways, and the hull of the ship was rampant in front of Gong Bin's warship, and there was a bang, and the warship was hit in the most vulnerable middle, and it turned over on its side at once.

Gong Bin was furious, grabbed the side of the ship, and shouted: "Fight back, fight back." ”

One by one, the flaming crossbows shot from the Huainan warship towards the opposite side. At this moment, the battleship on the opposite side made a noise, and the sails all fell.

The crossbow bolts shot at the hull of the ship with the sound of snatching, and they burned fiercely, but Li Hao and the others dropped the sails as soon as possible, and these most flammable objects were not damaged much.

More than a dozen small boats finally collided with the Tang warship, and at the moment of impact, the Huainan soldiers on board jumped into the water one after another. These people are all wearing tight-fitting water backs, holding chisels and small hammers in their hands, and they are all some water ghosts with extremely good water nature.

The boat was nailed to the ship, and the fire was blazing.

"Sink them!" The officers on board swept the boats and calmly gave orders.

The sailors who had been prepared for a long time jerked out the ropes in their hands, and as the ropes were untied, the levers that were originally integrated with the hull of the ship fell down suddenly, and at the end of the rods were hammers weighing dozens of catties.

The hammer fell, smashing into the boats, sending sparks and firewood flying.

"Hammer!"

"Fall!"

With the roar of the sailors, after several blows, the boats broke in two and sank into the water.

Xu Yang rushed to the water village with dozens of warships.

Huge roaring sound, in the water village, dozens of stone bullets rose into the air, flying towards these warships, the warships dodged left and right, dodging the stone bullets falling from the sky, from time to time there will be ships will be hit by stone bullets, the big ships are better, hit a few, but will not lose their combat effectiveness, but if the small boat is hit by a shot, it will be a big luck, basically one stone is broken.

"Rocket!" Standing at the bow of the boat, Xu Yang roared.

Countless rockets flew to the water gate like meteors, nailed to the water wall, most of the water village was made of wood, and in an instant it was blazing, and more small boats rushed to the water gate, and the iron chains in the water were against the big ships, but this kind of small boats could easily sail over it.

The boat was stuck on the water gate, and the sailors on board climbed up the wooden fence. Behind the fence, several small boats lined the bar, and the soldiers, armed with spears, stabbed at the soldiers, stabbing them down one by one. The feathered arrows pierced through the wooden fence, and the soldiers on top of the boat screamed and fell.

More Huainan sailors jumped into the water, dived through the wooden fence gate from the water, and floated up in front of the second gate.

Of course, in the inner waters, there are also small boats cruising on it, and when they see bubbles everywhere, they immediately shoot them down. Streams of blood came out of the water, and sailors jumped out of the water, clinging to the boats with one hand and fighting with the soldiers with the other.
