Although Du Ping suffered heavy losses in the first day's battle, he almost destroyed the invincible number of the Zhou army's sailors, which made him full of confidence in victory.

In the early morning of the second day, he confidently led his army into battle again, preparing to sink Zhou Tao's flagship Invincible in one go, and then completely defeat Zhou's naval division.

But what he didn't expect was that when he arrived on the battlefield, the officers and men of the Jianghuai Army Naval Division found that the giant battleship "Invincible", which was as big as a hill, was no longer on the battlefield.

The original planned main attack targets have lost their destinations, so how can the battle plan formulated by the Jianghuai Army Naval Division be implemented?

Du Pin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, whirling around on the deck of his own battleship.

In desperation, he had to order his warships to attack freely, and at the same time order the soldiers sitting in the mast gondola and serving as lookouts to carefully find which ship Zhou Tao was on.

However, in the vast sea, there are warships that fire bombs and attack each other everywhere, and the main warships of the Zhou army are all the same, how easy is it to find a flagship from it?

As a result, this naval battle became a big melee. On the vast Poyang Lake, a total of more than six warships of the Jianghuai Army and the Zhou Army Naval Division launched a decisive battle here.

On such a wide lake, the Zhou warship could be deployed calmly, giving full play to its advantages of fierce firepower, fast sailing, high shooting, and strong quality soldiers.

Although the number of warships and personnel of the Jianghuai army was higher than that of the Zhou army's naval division, it was unable to close the distance between it and the Zhou army's warships, and it was unable to use its strength advantage to jump onto the enemy's warships for white-knuckle combat.

In this case, the outcome of this water war can be imagined.

One after another, the warships of the Jianghuai Army were sent to the bottom of the lake. Even if some warships wanted to escape, how could they escape when they were not fast and there were no complicated waterways around them to hide?

Seeing that the Zhou army's naval division had divided and surrounded the Jianghuai army fleet and achieved a decisive advantage, Zhou Tao thought that the time had come to launch a general attack. He immediately ordered the whole army to attack, and each detachment of the fleet was subcontracted, vowing to send all the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish.

Seeing that all the battleships of the Zhou army rushed up in a swarm, the officers and men of the Jianghuai Army's naval division were terrified.

Before Du Ping could understand what was going on. Zhou Tao came from the left, and Xu Fang covered up from the right. All of a sudden, the lake was full of flying fire bombs, dense with rockets like raindrops. It is really a rain of arrows like locusts, and the fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps the fire.

Under the bombardment of thousands of catapults of the Zhou army, bursts of sparks suddenly rose from the warships of the Jianghuai Army, and cries and screams came and went. The deafening shouts of the Zhou officers and soldiers also made the Jianghuai soldiers tremble, where did they still have the confidence to resist the wolf-like attack of the Zhou army's sailors?

Half an hour later, the Jianghuai Army's naval division was already defeated. The war has reached this point, and they have been completely defeated and have lost the fighting spirit to continue fighting!

However, the Zhou army's sailors became more and more courageous, and continued to chase and fight without stopping.

In this battle, only the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, the devil was crying and frightened, Du Ping was defeated and sunk, the fragments of the Jianghuai army battleships, and the dead bodies of the sailor soldiers covered the surface of Poyang Lake.

After nightfall, Zhou Taofang ordered the attack to be halted to repair the damaged ships and to allow the soldiers who had been tired from the day to rest.

At this time, Du Ping, who had fled to a large island in the lake, had time to count his warships. At this time, he was dismayed to find that the ships of the Sailor Division had lost more than eighty percent, and there were less than forty warships that followed him, and most of them were wounded. The officers and men of the naval division on the ship also looked depressed and had no fighting spirit.

At this time, the reconnaissance ship sent out to probe came with news that made Du Pin even more frightened.

It turned out that at the same time as he fought with the Zhou army's naval division during the day, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin took the opportunity to lead the Zhou army's infantry, took a transport ship, and successfully crossed Poyang Lake without being stopped, landed in his rear, broke Yuzhang, and directly threatened his old nest Jiujiang.

"It's a me!" Du Ping couldn't help but spurt blood from his mouth and fainted.

When he woke up, it was already late at night, and the sky was full of stars, and it looked like a beautiful night.

However, Du Ping was obviously not in the mood to appreciate the night of the lake, because when Wu Bo saw him wake up, Fang hurriedly reported that Xu Fang, the deputy commander of the Zhou army's naval division, had cut off his retreat, so that he could not escape in the direction of Jiujiang. And directly ahead, the main force of Zhou Tao's sailors was attacking in a half-moon formation.

Due to being surrounded on all sides, Wu Bo had led the remnants of the fleet to rush out twice before, but he could not rush through, but suffered heavy losses. So let him decide, how to break through?

After Du Ping got up, he went to a commanding height to observe, and found that the island had been surrounded by the Zhou army's naval divisions, and his own warships had become turtles in the urn.

Du Ping, who had no choice, after lining up for the option of surrender, was left with the only way to forcibly break through, and at this time, the military rations on his fleet were almost exhausted. If we don't hurry up and break through, I'm afraid that the remaining thousands of people will also starve to death.

So, in the middle of the night that day, the last 20 or so incomplete and scarred battleships of the Jianghuai Army's naval division, under the command of Du Ping and Wu Bo, began to break through separately and forcefully.

After discovering that the enemy was about to flee at night, Zhou Tao immediately ordered all the warships to intercept it, and the Jianghuai army and naval division were defeated and fled in the direction of Jiujiang. It's just that they didn't run far before they were intercepted by Xu Fang, the deputy general of the Zhou Army's naval division.

The warships of the Zhou army, which were waiting for work, were killed from all directions. All of a sudden, the sound of killing rumbled and the flames erupted. Under the attack of the Zhou army's naval division, fires rose on the warships of the Jianghuai army, and a crying father and mother sounded.

When Du Ping saw that the big thing was not good, he hurriedly ordered the fleet to flee northward, trying to escape from the mouth of the lake into the Yangtze River.

At this time, Zhou Tao's fleet had already caught up. They aimed at the panicked Jianghuai warships and launched the most violent and intensive attack.

As a result, the surface of the lake suddenly burst into flames, and the soldiers on the Jianghuai warships were burned to death and burned by a large number of ejected shells, and the deck was full of large holes with flames and thick smoke.

The already damaged hull of the Jianghuai warship could not support it under this wave of attacks, and it burned and disintegrated in the water.

Du Ping raised his eyes and saw only the warships of the Jianghuai Army and the Navy Division sinking one by one, and in the end, only he and Wu Bo's warships escaped, and finally broke away from the encirclement of the Zhou Army and arrived at the mouth of the lake.

But Du Ping was glad that before he had time to take a breath, he saw a large number of warships of the Zhou Army's naval division appearing in front of him, and among them was the invincible that he wanted to sink but had never been able to find, the size of a hill.

And on the bow of the Invincible, there was a handsome young general dressed in white clothes and white armor. On the banner hanging above his head, the word "Yu" was suddenly written.

"Ahh It's Yuming! He's even coming to war! ”

Du Ping was suddenly frightened and frightened, he knew that Yu Ming could come here, which meant that the Zhou army must be exhausted, and he could be said to be dead.

And beside him, including Wu Bo's ship, there were only two battleships left, and they were all small battleships that had been changed twice, and the two battleships together were not as big as the Invincible.

At this time, Yu Ming saw the two frightened Jianghuai warships in front of him, and there was a cold light in his eyes, and he hated Du Ping to the core. If it weren't for this guy fighting to the death, how could he be here in Poyang Lake for so long?

He then shouted to the herald, "Tell me the order!" Shoot a firebomb now! Sink both enemy ships! ”

The herald immediately waved his flag on the bow of the Invincible and signaled the ships to fire bombardment of the enemy ships.

Du Ping could read the flag of the Zhou army, and after seeing the wave of the herald, he was so frightened that he couldn't help shouting: "Don't launch, I surrender to ......."

"It's too late to think of surrendering now!" Yu Ming glared angrily. If Du Pin had surrendered after the Battle of the Yangtze River Estuary, he might have accepted it. But when the war is fought to this extent, it doesn't make much sense for Du Pingtou to surrender or not. And he was also trying to kill the chicken to show the monkey, so that the other Jianghuai generals knew that if he resisted stubbornly to the end, he could only die.

He had learned that to be merciful to his enemies was to be cruel to his own people.

So, dozens of warships around the Invincible surrounded Du Ping and Wu Bo's two tattered warships, and then several catapults loaded with fire bombs and aimed at them.

"Launch!"

With Yu Ming's order, several catapults of the Zhou Army's naval division fired fire bombs at the same time.

"Peng, Peng, Peng!" One by one, these crockpot bombs filled with crude oil leaped up from the deck, cut an arc across the sea, and landed on the battleships of Du Ping and Wu Bo. Then dozens of blazing flames immediately rose, and the nearby Zhou warships shook incessantly......

The location of Du Ping and Wu Bo's battleships, with the impact of the fire bombs, suddenly turned into a sea of fire, thick smoke billowed out, the flames soared into the sky, and the smoke was misty.

They and the remaining Jianghuai soldiers did not even let out a scream, and they were buried in the flames.

When the smoke dissipated, the officers and men of the Zhou Army's naval division saw that there was no one alive on the surface of the sea, except for some ship fragments and some charred black corpses that had floated up.

"Dupin is finally dead! Wu Bo is also dead! The Jianghuai Army Naval Division is now completely annihilated! We've finally won! ”

The roars of the stormy waves soared into the sky, and the sound echoed on the ships of the Zhou Army's naval division, floating above the surface of Poyang Lake, and it did not disperse for a long time!
