After Shang Yu's words fell, the thunder of the heavenly space rang out, and the hundred volunteers quickly put down the wooden bowl in their hands to stop eating, reached out and took out a small hammer and a fine chisel from their backpacks, and the three of them rushed to the shore in a team and jumped into the water, swimming towards the enemy ships.

And Shang Yu rushed into the Jiangfang camp not far away, naturally calling out to the soldiers on the shore to prepare for battle.

After Zhao Qing heard Shang Yudi's words, he also immediately got on his horse in the barracks and headed towards Lei Guanzhen, Tang He has two thousand cavalry, and he can come in half an hour, but unfortunately Tang He's men have no secret soldiers, otherwise they can directly send a signal for help through Tongzhen Zhong.

When Shang Yu and fifty soldiers of the river defense were waiting on the shore, the raindrops of beans began to fall from the sky, the sky was extremely dark, and the lightning flashed several times, illuminating the boats in the river very clearly.

"Brothers of the Jiangfang Battalion, the other side only has more than a dozen ships, and if you see the enemy swimming ashore after the ships sink later, you will kill them all for me! The other party is the Yuan Army, did everyone hear it clearly? Shang Yu shouted with a calm face.

The opponent's ship can only pass through the Tianchang County River defense, which shows that the righteous army in the upper reaches of the Chujiang River must have been defeated, if the Chujiang River is controlled by the Yuan army, then the new city should be separated from Chizhou, if the Yuan army marches to Chuzhou at this time, then Zhu Yuanzhang's army will inevitably be in chaos, Chuzhou has many relatives of the righteous soldiers, but unfortunately Hu Dahai is not in Lai'an at this time, Shang Yu can only spare his blood to be proficient in the water-based secret soldiers into the water but chisel through the opponent's ship, at this moment the wind and waves are strong, and the sky is dark, can not see the situation in the river clearly.

"Yes, Lord County, please go to the account to rest, these things are led by the small one." The leader of the team was a centurion, Chujiang was originally inside the rebel army at this time, so only fifty people were left to guard the ferry, but he didn't expect that the enemy navy could drive straight into the door and hit the door, this centurion immediately wanted to persuade Shang Yu to enter the account to rest.

"No need, as long as you lead the team, you will be executed immediately as long as you see the enemy troops coming ashore, this is a military order! In addition to being a county order, I still have the position of a thousand households! Shang Yu immediately ordered loudly.

"Yes, Senho-sama!" After hearing this, the hundred households replied with a solemn face, and turned around and said: "Brothers, although we only have fifty people, behind us is Chuzhou, and we must not let the Yuan dogs land and invade our Chuzhou step, because there are our fathers and fellow villagers there." ”

"Yes, Lord Hyakho!" Fifty well-trained Red Turban soldiers replied in unison, the refined simple knives in their hands shining with a piercing cold light.

Shang Yu nodded, with this hundred households on the shore to kill the Yuan army that had slipped through the net, he could rest assured.

"My lord, what are you going to do?" The performance of his subordinates was very satisfied, and the hundred households turned around and saw Shang Yu jumping into the river, and couldn't help but shout in shock.

"This official wants to find their handsome boat, rest assured that this official's swimming kung fu is quite passable." Shang Yu also learned the skill of swimming in the secret barracks in his spare time in Lai'an County, and he also ranked among the secret soldiers, otherwise he would not be so confident.

"My lord, if the Yuan army releases arrows, you will be in danger!" The hundred-hundred-household shouted.

"It's okay, it's important to meet the enemy, don't be distracted, and the shore will be handed over to your Jiangfang battalion." Shang Yu shook his head, knowing in his heart that this hundred households had good intentions, but the young men under his secret soldiers were close to his age, and if he, the main general, did not come to the river in person, he would always feel a little uncomfortable.

The second ship in the Yuan army was the flagship, and a Yuan army sailor Qianhu respectfully saluted Xianglan'er and said: "County lord, you are worthy of being a pedantic celestial, you can actually break through the Red Turban Thief Land fleet with the ironclad ship, and kill the Red Turban Navy, so that our Jiangnan Navy is expected to be able to cut off the connection between Jiqing Mansion and Chuzhou, and find time for our land army to recover Jiqing Mansion." ”

"General Luo Moke, long live me to come to Jiangnan, just to investigate the military situation, but I don't want to meddle in the affairs of the army, Lord Qianhu doesn't have to take credit for this palace, Qianhu, the most elite naval army in Jiangnan, is really brave and commendable." Xiang Lan'er is thinking about how to get ashore and escape from this fleet, if this time this water army can be destroyed, then the Jiangnan Righteous Army can really take the initiative on the water, this Qianhu Luo Mo Keer is the only one in the Yuan army who is proficient in water warfare generals.

Less than half of the fifty warships are now left, and this is the price paid after destroying the forty Chuzhou naval ships in the Tianchang area.

But on the Chujiang River, this Yuan army is already invincible, and there are more than 2,000 soldiers on more than a dozen warships.

"Report to the county lord and Lord Qianhu, I found a ferry port guarded by the Red Turban Army not far ahead, please give me instructions on whether to attack?" A soldier in charge of the herald hurriedly barged in, half-kneeling and said.

"Then why don't you attack quickly? Destroy the ferry for me, burn the ferry, dock me, and send someone to kill all the red turban thieves on the rockside. After hearing this, Luo Mo Ke'er immediately gave an order before Xianglan'er spoke.

He hated the Red Turban Army to the core, he had two brothers who were in the Jiqingfu army, and at this moment he heard that the head was still hanging on the head of the city renamed Yingtianfu, so he did not hesitate to order to burn the boat, destroy the ferry and slaughter everyone on the shore.

"Yes! Obey the order, and the subordinates immediately go to give orders. The soldier had an excited look on his face and immediately ran out.

"General Luo Mo Keer, if you can capture the enemy's town, and when you return to Zhenjiang Mansion, the palace will immediately promote you to the general of Wanhu and take up the command of the Jiangnan Water Army!" Xiang Lan'er intended to lure the other party ashore to attack the Red Turban Army, so that she would have a chance to leave the Yuan Army and fulfill Master's order that she would disappear from the sight of the Yuan Court forever.

"Lord Xie is good, but our navy is not suitable for land warfare, so this matter will be discussed later, you can sit in the boat, and I will ask you for credit after the young general slaughters the red scarf dog thieves at the ferry." Luo Mo Keer said with a laugh.

Although he intended to attack the towns in Lai'an County, Luo Mo Keer was not extremely stupid, so he naturally would not go ashore alone with two thousand sailors, and knew in his heart that there should not be many defenders in Lai'an, but he still didn't want to take risks for the time being.

Xiang Lan'er was greatly disappointed in her heart, stood up and said, "This palace went to the bow of the ship with the general to watch, hoping to see our army bravely killing the enemy!" ”

"County Lord, please, I'm just afraid that the red scarf dog thief will stain your eyes, as long as you are not afraid that the young general is willing to take you to watch!" Luo Mo Ke'er said very respectfully to the popular county lord beside the emperor, he still didn't know why Xianglan'er wanted to step into the water army, but all the way down, the water army killed the Chuzhou rebels and had no power to resist, which is true.

At this time, Xiang Lan'er wanted to see him fall to the ground and slaughter him, so she naturally readily agreed.

At that moment, he opened the curtain of the cabin in front of him, and respectfully motioned for Xianglan'er to leave the cabin.

The warships were more than ten zhang long, and each ship had 200 to 300 soldiers, and under the heavy rain, all the Yuan army sailors were operating the ships to the shore in an awe-inspiring and orderly manner.

When the two soldiers saw the county lord and the lord Luo Mokel stepping out of the cabin, they immediately held the tarpaulin canopy above their heads.

After a dozen breaths, the two of them came to the bow of the ship.

"Lord Qianhu, you see that there are a small number of soldiers guarding the ferry, and there are some merchants' tents, and when we get closer, we will be silent after a round of arrow rain passes!" One of the crossbowmen in charge of commanding the crossbowmen excitedly reported to Luo Moke'er at the bow of the ship.

"It's so close to the shore, how can you find a way to get to the shore?" Xiang Lan'er looked at the shore ferry more than ten feet away and thought with some worry.

"Oh no, Senho-sama, our boat is leaking, and there are several leaks!" In the bilge, a soldier in charge of the quartermaster distribution was in charge, and he ran up from behind in panic and shouted.

"Nonsense, our ship is new, how can it leak?" When Luo Moke'er heard this, he roared angrily and turned his head to look at the soldier.

"It's a big deal, our boat is leaking!"

"Senhe-sama, our ship is not only leaking at the bottom, but also on fire!"

"Nonsense, it's okay to say that a boat is leaking, why is this happening?" Luo Mo Ke'er pulled out the scimitar at his waist with a roar, and looked behind him with a suspicious expression flashing in his eyes.

At this glance, he gasped in shock, only to see that more than a dozen ships behind him were already in a semi-sunken state, and several others were still shaking and catching fire, although not very big, but no one put out the fire, because those soldiers had already begun to throw the boat into the water at the first time, preparing to escape from the sinking ship.

"Senno-sama, it seems that our ship was attacked by the other side's water spirits at the same time!" Xiang Lan'er said with a sigh at the bow of the ship. In my heart, I was glad that I finally had the opportunity to go ashore.

Shang Yu and the three young secret soldiers swam under the flagship together, and happened to be divided into several places to gouge through the ship, Shang Yu secretly laughed in his heart after hearing the words of the ship: "It seems that the opponent's main general is at the bow of the ship, if he can be caught this time, he can make all the Yuan troops obey the order." ”

At the moment, he signaled to the three secret soldiers in the water, the strength of these two brothers is amazing, if they sneak under the opponent's boat after entering the water, and find the right time to catch the opponent's master in one fell swoop, then they can get twice the result with half the effort.

But Shang Yu only saw the slightly familiar voice on the boat, and thought: "Listening to the voice, it seems to be Xianglan'er, if you can catch her, you may be able to know the movements of Zhenjiang Yuanjun, and you can make the eldest brother lie sure to take that city." ”
