After discussing with Xu Wenzhen, Zheng Shaoye led his 20,000 sailors from the eastern capital of Yangzhou to go upstream, and it only took half a day to see Jinling City in the distance. Because the Chu army has been ****ing the Yangtze River waterway a few days ago, Yangzhou and other places in the north of the Yangtze River do not understand the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

Fortunately, there was Li Tang's flag floating on Jinling City, and Zheng Shaoye was slightly relieved, and he had to command the ships extremely cautiously along the way, basically waving his division while reconnoitring the enemy's military situation. Along the way, the wind was calm and quiet, but Zheng Shaoye was extremely nervous in his heart, his brows were getting tighter and tighter, and the suspicion was getting bigger and bigger, and the enemy situation was unknown! Didn't Xu Wenzhen, who stayed behind in the Eastern Capital, say that the ships of the Chu army arrived at the edge of Yangzhou a few days ago? There was also a **** burning of the ships of the people of Yangzhou, and the merchant ships that came and went were even detained when they saw it. This shows that the Chu army has divided its forces extremely loosely, showing that it is extremely open. If this is the case, as soon as your army enters the Yangtze River, it will be immediately detected by the enemy.

Being detected by the Chu army about his actions has long been mentally prepared for Zheng Shaoye, he dared to enter the Yangtze River alone, and he never thought about avoiding the question of the Chu army's ears and eyes, of course, it was also because he had no way to dodge at all. How could his 20,000 people and more than 100 warships on this big river evade the reconnaissance of the other party?

What worries him is that since the other party has detected him, why has he not moved? There are two reasons, one is because the other party has a plan, guiding himself step by step to jump into this trap, and second, the other party's forces are too scattered, even if they know their actions, they don't have enough troops to deal with themselves, I'm afraid they are urgently mobilizing troops. As for the nonsensical reasons such as the scout suddenly falling into the water and dying on the way back to report the news, Zheng Shaoye was directly ruled out.

Which of these two reasons is the main one? Zheng Shaoye thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason, so at the beginning, Zheng Shaoye lined up the big ships outside the team in order to engage the other party. After walking for a while, he changed his mind and placed a circle of small boats on the most targeted side so that he could reconnoiter the situation on land on both sides of the strait with the other side. After a while, he was afraid that the Chu army would attack from two sides, one was intercepted in Jinling, and the other was copied from behind, so he adjusted the formation once.

"In front of the general, the enemy's naval army camp has appeared!" The scouts came in small boats to report the news!

Zheng Shaoye carefully inquired, the battalion of the Chu Army's sailors, stationed in Stone Town in the east of Jinling City! This stone town is in the northeast of Jinling City, in fact, it is a large ** head, where the Chu army will be stationed, where is normal, that is, it can be dangerous, Jinling can firmly control the Jinling waterway, even if Jiangbei sends reinforcements to go ashore, it is best to be in ** It is more difficult to go ashore on the head, so you can't drive the big boat to the shore, and you can't park the big boat not far from the shore (the problem of the draught of the boat), and then let the soldiers jump off the river one by one and float ashore, just use a small boat, tens of thousands of troops, I don't know how many boats to use, how much time it will take!

"General, are we rushing over or ......," the herald reminded Zheng Shaoye in front of him, the enemy is now waiting for Zheng Shaoye's orders!

Zheng Shaoye ordered someone to drive his big boat to the front, looking at the south bank, only to see that there was a water village pennant not far from the shore, and there were many small boats passing through it from time to time, as for the big boats, there were quite a lot of water village gates, and there were a few gates, which were not too small, but they were faintly poked inside, and it was not clear whether there were big boats.

"General, let's attack with fire!" The herald suggested from beside him.

"The fence of this water village is erected very high, and there are branches on it, and no one knows what it looks like inside, let's attack with fire may not be effective!"

"General, let's only send some small boats to set fire, and there should be no problem with the big boats standing on the river."

"This ......," Zheng Shaoye hesitated.

"General, you see that there are ships of the Chu army in the west!" A scout on the mast shouted.

Zheng Shaoye hurriedly said frankly, looking at the river to the west, a naval warship came down like a cloud, and the pennant fluttered down the river, not excessive, but not very fast. The Yangtze River flows from southwest to northeast near Jinling, and although the northeast wind is not strong now, the Chu army is against the wind after all. There are quite a lot of ships, and it seems that they are the main force of the Chu army's sailors.

Zheng Shaoye thought for a moment and immediately said: "The herald ordered Wang Shu to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to engage the Chu army, and ordered Zhu Youliang to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to capture the water village of the Chu army!" Zheng Shaoye looked at the powerful Chu Army Sailor from afar, and secretly thought in his heart that there were not many people in this water village! The Chu army abandoned the village and came out, if our army can take advantage of the situation to capture it, and then fight into Jinling City while defending the gate of the village, please get on the boat, with 20,000 sailors, how can you send Your Majesty to Jiangbei, after all, this is only the Yangtze River, not the sea.

The actions of the Chu army were very strange, they walked forward for a while, and suddenly dropped anchor and stopped the ship. I saw that the sailors on the ship threw the barrels into the Yangtze River; Some people still hope that something in the Yangtze River looks black

Zheng Shaoye was a little strange: What is Chu Jun doing? The barrel and black water went down the river, and soon reached Li Tangjun's eyes. Zheng Shaoye said: "Let the scout ** boat see what this black thing is?" What is Chu Jun going to do? ”

Just as Zheng Shaoye hesitated, there was a sound of war drums in the Chu army's sailors, but those boats did not move, under the blowing of the northeast wind and the efforts of the sailors, the ships of Li Tang's sailors continued to march towards the Chu army.

The two armies looked at the fact that there were still a mile or two left, and they saw that the ships on the side of the Chu army suddenly threw black ** balls, which suddenly swelled when they were halfway empty, and turned into a ball of fire, which was thrown straight towards the Tang army's warship.

Zheng Shaoye is also a veteran, he pouted, is this thing useful? Even if you throw my warship, I can send someone to build it for him and throw it into the river!

But at least half of the fireball was thrown into the water, and with a "bang" fire, the fire burned on the surface of the river! The fire was very violent, and it was a few points stronger than the charcoal and firewood that usually burned.

"There's a fire in the water~" Li Tang's sergeant exclaimed, looking at it with wide eyes and disbelief, isn't this water capable of extinguishing fire? Why is there a fire in the water, is it really the Tang Dynasty?
