Zuo Mengeng was faintly excited.

It was his first time experiencing a water battle, and the sound of the cannon bombardment made his heart beat faster, and the splash was even more exhilarating.

Zuo Mengeng was not worried about the outcome of this water battle at all. It is a fact that the land combat level of the Left Army is slightly worse, but when it comes to water warfare, the entire Ming Dynasty is afraid that it will not be able to find a naval division that can compete with the Left Army.

Maybe Fujian's Zhengjia sailors can wrestle with the left army, but they are also rampant and domineering in the sea, and when they really reach the Yangtze River, those bulky sea ships are even a problem to turn, let alone arrange formations to fight.

In Zuo Menggeng's view, in the Yangtze River, Zuo's army is an invincible existence in the world.

Yuan Jixian was so stupid and arrogant that he didn't know how to write dead words.

He felt that Zuo Jiajun didn't even need to use all his strength, and only a dozen ships could defeat Yuan Jixian's Dongting Lake Naval Division.

However, due to Yuan Jixian's advance arrangement, the Dongting Lake Water Division was already stuck in position, and the numerical advantage of the left army's fleet could not be brought into play, and the ships that were put into artillery bombardment at most were only about 20 at most.

Rao is like this, the Dongting Lake Naval Division is also a little unable to parry, under the repeated bombardment of the artillery of the left army, several warships have been sunk.

Zuo Mengeng watched it very much, and he couldn't wait to go into battle to ignite the cannon in person.

After the mutiny of the Qin soldiers, he experienced a transformation in heaven and earth, and once felt hopeless.

But now he saw hope again, as long as they broke out of Yuan Jixian's blockade, they could find an opportunity to go north to surrender.

"Father, the child thinks it will take two hours at most to sink all the broken ships of Old Thief Yuan!"

"Hmm."

Zuo Liangyu bowed slightly and said: "Old thief Yuan still has two sons, if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that this water master will have already dispersed." ”

Being able to withstand the repeated bombardment of the artillery of the Zuojia Army and sink a few warships without chaos, the willpower of the Dongting Lake Sailor Division is still very tenacious.

It's a pity that willpower doesn't play much of a role in water warfare, and it's strength that really determines the outcome of the battle.

"It's just a matter of lingering, sooner or later, you have to sink into the river to feed the shrimp."

Zuo Mengeng is now full of confidence, so naturally he will not take the Dongting Lake sailor in his eyes.

"Please also ask my father to give an order and order the warships under his command to open full fire!"

...

...

The frantic onslaught of the left army made the Dongting Lake Sailor only have the ability to parry, and he had no power to fight back.

The pressure on Chief Military Officer Han Zhaoan can be imagined.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the entire naval division is wiped out.

"No, immediately go and send a letter to General Huang, telling him to outflank him in advance and cut off the retreat of the left thief."

Han Zhaoan knew that he would not be able to hold on for long, and when the left army went down the river, he would find that the narrowest part of the river had been blocked by several sunken ships.

They'll definitely turn around and turn back then. If Huang Degong hadn't made arrangements earlier, he would probably have let the left army slip away.

As for his own life and death, Han Zhaoan has long been out of the way.

Everything he did was given by Yuan Junmen, if it weren't for Yuan Junmen's exceptional promotion, he would just be a small guerrilla, how could he be promoted several levels in a row to become the chief soldier of the Dongting Lake Water Division.

From the moment the Navy Division was formed, Han Zhaoan tried his best to train the troops, and gradually polished a strong army with strong tenacity.

It's a pity that the foundation of the Dongting Lake Naval Division is still a little thinner, and the artillery equipment on the ship is very limited.

It's not terrible to have a gap, it's terrible to have no fighting spirit.

To Han Zhaoan's relief, every soldier was fighting with all his might, even if he might die at the bottom of the river with the ship at any time.

It is worthy of the soldiers brought out by him Han Zhaoan, there is a kind!

What he has to do now is to delay as much time as possible, and when Huang Dewei's troops cut off the retreat of the left army, he will die without regrets.

...

...

After receiving the news, Huang Degong immediately ordered the whole army to march at full speed.

After rushing to the river area near the Jiujiang River, Huang Degong ordered the collected fishing boats to gather and make a pontoon bridge across the Yangtze River. After the pontoon bridge was built, he ordered people to connect the iron chains and lay them across the river.

The iron lock Hengjiang was naturally to intercept Zuo Liangyu's retreat.

Otherwise, if they find that the downstream is blocked by a shipwreck, they will definitely turn around and go up the river desperately.

The reason why I didn't choose to sink the ship and close the river this time is because Jiujiang no longer has a large enough ship.

Even if a few dozen small fishing boats were sunk, it would not be of much use.

In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of Nanming water masters. The only Yangtze River Naval Division has been transferred to Denglai, and even Huang Degong's reinforcement of Jiangxi this time is by land.

Huang Degong admired Han Zhaoan's righteous actions very much.

He really wanted to rescue Han Zhaoan, but he only had fishing boats at hand, and letting the soldiers take fishing boats to fight would be to death.

So what he had to do was to completely seal the river, cut off Zuo Liangyu's retreat, and force Zuo Liangyu to abandon the boat and go ashore.

As long as Zuo Liangyu goes ashore, Huang Degong has the confidence to capture him alive.

"Add a few more chains and double-check to make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Zuo Liangyu's boats are all big river boats, and it is difficult to stop ordinary iron chains, and only a few more can be safe.

In order to seek stability, Huang Degong also ordered people to sink the big iron vertebrae into the river.

Zuo Liangyu's warships had a deep draft, and if they forcibly attacked the iron chain blockade, it was likely that the bottom warehouse board of the ship would be cut.

After doing all this, Huang Degong ordered the pontoon bridge erected by the fishing boats to be removed.

What he can do now is to wait for Zuo Liangyu to come back.

...

...

"I'm going to kill the thief!"

Seeing the Dongting Lake Naval Division's warships being sunk, Han Zhaoan's eyes were red and he let out a hysterical roar.

These are his hard work, his hard work!

Dozens or hundreds of river boats capsized in an instant, and years of hard work were wasted, which was really as painful as a sharp knife cutting flesh.

All he could do now was to lead the last few ships to rush towards Zuo Liangyu's sailors, and sink one by one.

If these ships continue to be dragged down, they will inevitably be sunk, but it is better to complete the last trace of value.

Gong Wenshan said that Kong said that Chengren and Meng said that righteousness was taken.

Although Han Zhaoan is a vulgar martial artist, he has always liked this sentence.

In his opinion, people live for a lifetime, wealth and glory are like clouds of smoke, and only the famous festival can be passed down through the ages.

He Han Zhaoan eats Daming Yulu and drinks Daming water, so he naturally has to be loyal to Daming and the court.

He can't be sorry for his conscience.

Maybe surrendering Zuo Liangyu can save him from death, but he will lose his integrity.

Isn't it just death, what's so terrible!

The only thing Han Zhaoan can't let go of is his mother and a pair of children at home. However, he has a virtuous wife who believes that he can take care of his family even if he dies.

When the boat rushed towards Zuo Liangyu's sailor, Han Zhaoan's mind came to mind the time he spent with his family.

The son asked him to eat rice candy, and the daughter shouted to her father in a milky voice.

It's a pity that he can't see all this anymore, for the sake of the Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty, and for more people to be able to live the life he wants, it is worth his death.

Don't be afraid of broken bones, you want to leave your innocence in the world!
