Tong Guan has been leading the frontier for many years, and has an almost instinctive reaction to danger. This time I am restless, there must be something big about to happen!

"Don't mind, my lord, although the rebellion in the south is huge, but after all, it is only an army composed of a few leaders with 10,000 peasants who put down their hoes, and our army is a soldier of a hundred battles. Han Shizhong comforted.

Tong Guan felt a little relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "When did Liangchen learn to say such things?" Han Shizhong laughed honestly twice, and Tong Guan continued: "Is there any news about the boat that went forward?" Can the Vanguard Army go well? ”

"Back to my lord, the boat ahead has just sent a message, saying that everything is normal ahead and there is no obstacle. And the vanguard army ... The latest news was delivered last night, and the pioneer department successfully entered the city, and the people of Yangzhou rejoiced. ”

"Huh?" Tong Guan frowned when he heard that the vanguard army did not report three times a day in accordance with the regulations, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "My righteous son is afraid that he will be blinded by the prosperity when he enters Yangzhou City, and it has been this hour, and there is no news back!" ”

Because he supervised the Western Army all the year round and the children of officers at all levels who died in the battle with the Western Xia were vigorously cultivated by Tong Guan as righteous sons, Tong Guan had a very high prestige in the Western Army.

I could hear the dissatisfaction in Tong Guan's tone, but Han Shizhong didn't say a word, because this was not a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also Tong Guan's righteous son! Naturally, he doesn't talk nonsense.

The two discussed strategy and tactics again, and after a while the sun rose and the fog on the river quickly dissipated.

Tong Guan left an evaluation in history as 'an insider in the civil war and an outsider in the foreign war', which is actually not entirely to blame on his head, mainly because the Great Song Dynasty's own army was weak during this period, and it lost more than it won when fighting with foreign tribes! It was easy to crush the rebellion in the country, which was low in combat effectiveness.

"This battle is not easy to fight!" Tong Guan muttered to himself.

He knew very well that the righteous army was protected by the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, coupled with the good water of the southerners, if they could not seize a bridgehead in the south of the Yangtze River, then the army confined to the north of the Yangtze River would have no room to play no matter how large the number was.

According to the information obtained so far, the rebels have occupied the area on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and it is obvious that they intend to use this as a basis to block the imperial army from moving south!

"It seems that there are also masters among the rebels..."

Unlike Tong Guan's worries, the more than 1,000 soldiers under the dynasty all lay on the back of the canal embankment and fell asleep! Last night, they first attacked Yangzhou, and then rushed to Tai'an Town, and everyone was tired. Except for a few who were in charge of the lookout guard, everyone else rested.

"Discover the fleet!" The lookout ripped off the 'walkie-talkie' pinned to his waist and yelled.

The sleeping rebels were suddenly awakened, and one by one they clenched the steel knives in their hands, and tried to curl up in the grass at the back of the river embankment.

The first to enter the canal are some rocking and red horse boats, which are responsible for measuring the depth of the water and detecting the vigilance! There are so many of these boats that they stick to the surface of the water like water spiders.

Behind these small boats were equally large ships of 'Ship', a ship of moderate size, both speed and defense. There are crossbow windows and spear holes on the left and right sides of the hull, so you can attack from a distance and fight in close combat! It is the main battleship of the Great Song Naval Division.

And among the guards of the 'Rush' battleship, there is a huge building ship! The hull of the ship must be 60 meters long and 10 meters high!

This huge building ship is the flagship of the entire fleet, and it is also Tong Guan's ship!

Behind the ships were a huge number of transports, which were responsible for transporting troops, horses, ordnance, and baggage!

Looking at this fleet that covered the sky, the legs and stomachs of several lookouts trembled! They who don't have much knowledge have seen such a magnificent and domineering fleet there!

Even when I watched the 'live broadcast' in Shuyang and saw this fleet stretching for more than ten kilometers, I couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom and strength of the ancients.

"Everyone, hold your breath and wait for my orders!"

"Yes, Lord."

After the boats and red horse boats in front of them all entered the ambush circle, several soldiers around the dynasty suddenly became excited.

The dynasty's face was as usual, and these small boats were responsible for the investigation and thunderstorming of Tong Guan's army, and they could be abandoned at any time. Naturally, the dynasty did not take them to heart.

Under the gaze of more than a thousand pairs of eyes, Tong Guan's ship finally slowly entered the ambush circle!

"Divine Master!"

A few soldiers suddenly jumped up and down excitedly like monkeys in estrus, and it was no wonder that they were excited, it was Tong Guan! One of the most important figures in the Great Song Dynasty, killing him would definitely greatly deter the Great Song Dynasty.

"It's not time yet." The dynasty ignored the few guys who jumped up and down excitedly, and still watched the fleet advancing on the river.

"Zhao Hu, you are ready!"

"Roger."

In the reeds by the canal, Zhao Hu quietly dived into the river and moved quickly towards the building ship with huge displacement in the fleet!

After most of the transport ships also entered the ambush circle, the dynasty immediately shouted:

"Detonate!"

A few soldiers who couldn't wait next to him raised their big hands and pressed the detonator fiercely!

The electric current detonated the 'divine thunder' in the water in a billionth of a second.

Boom - boom - boom -

The dull sound of explosions was undulating, and dozens of rushing and transport ships were blown to pieces! And as a huge building ship for Tong Guan, Zhao Hu was taken care of underwater!

Two bombs exploded near the keel of the ship! The huge bubble from the explosion lifted the entire ship out of the water, and then tore it off again!

This one and the same, easily broke its keel...

If it weren't for its huge size, the building would have been blown to pieces.

After the explosion, there were screams and wails, and the wounded, overboard, missing arms and legs were all screaming hoarsely. A handful of officers and men who escaped the catastrophe swam hard to the shore in the cold river with their broken planks in their arms.

"Everyone rushed along the river, and then evacuated in the direction of Yangzhou City!"

"Yes, Lord!"

A group of rebels rode all kinds of horses scavenged from Yangzhou City, screaming and rushing over!

After the boat was bombed, Zhao Hu in the water entered the cabin along the big hole in the bottom of the boat. At this time, there were few living people inside the building ship!

Because of the weight of the boat itself, the water enters extremely quickly. In addition, the explosion came suddenly, and there was almost no damage management ability!

In just ten seconds, this huge building ship was already level with the water, and no one could escape!

Zhao Hu, who was wandering in the cabin, soon found Tong Guan... The corpse, looking at the blur of flesh and blood on his head, should have been thrown up during the explosion, and then crashed into the wall of the ship and died!

Although Tong Guan had already died, Zhao Hu still meticulously carried out Zhang Yang's order in order to eliminate the traces, and 'turned' Tong Guan into a pile of minced meat!
