Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were repulsed, and Gongsun Kang ordered Tai Shici to support Guangling County and annihilate Yuan Shu's army.

This was the first real water battle of the Liaodong Naval Army. In the past, they used to travel between Liaodong and Qingzhou in the Yellow Sea as transport ships.

Some soldiers followed Tai Shici to participate in the conquest of Wajima (Shikoku Island), which was also used as an army.

Hearing that this time they could have a real water battle with Yuan Shubing in Yangzhou, the 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Navy Army were all excited and sent out to fight. shouted: Use me in the first battle, use me to win! slogan.

In the end, Tai Shi Ci could only use the fairest way: drawing lots, to decide which boat could participate in the water war.

The whole ship that was caught was smiling, and the crew members who were not caught complained that the captain's luck was too bad and that they should be arrested by another representative.

In this way, Tai Shici selected 20 thousand-stone warships, each with 500 sailors and 100 boatmen. A total of 12,000 soldiers went to support Gwangneung County.

At the mouth of the Huaishui Sea, Tai Shici informed Chen Deng of the flying pigeon letter that he had entered the Huaishui and began to blockade the river. If within 10 days, Yangzhou soldiers and horses cannot get the supply of grain and grass, it will inevitably be chaotic. Please be prepared in advance.

Tai Shi Ci and they eat and live on the water, and after exercising in the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan, living at sea for months is commonplace and habitual. What's more, the small Huaishui, the wind and waves are calm, the waves are not prosperous, it is simply a paradise.

After waiting for a few days, a lookout post reported with a flag: In the direction of Yangzhou, five thousand-stone ships came to the direction of Guangling County, and the number of people was unknown.

Tai Shici ordered: 10 ships were pulled out and detoured to the rear of the Yangzhou fleet. The other 10 ships stood still, waiting for the arrival of the Yangzhou fleet.

Half an hour later, five Yangzhou ships slowly sailed into the vicinity, and Tai Shici ordered: surround it!

Seeing the ten warships surround them violently, the Yangzhou big ship began to raise the flag and say: We are the Yangzhou official warship! What are you from? Why come close to us?

The Liaodong Navy also raised the flag: We are the Liaodong Navy Army! You are surrounded, surrender and do not kill!

The Yangzhou warship has passed the test of the Yangtze River water battle, although this time it is to transport grain, but the soldiers and weapons of the warship are all there, and they are full of staff.

Although the number of warships was twice as small, they were not afraid. I laughed in my heart: silly wave! If it's us, we won't talk to it at all, and we'll sink it when we go up!

So they put up the flag again: surrender is negotiable, but we don't know if you are telling the truth? Let your leaders come out and talk about it.

The purpose of the Yangzhou sailors was to find out the warship where the leader of the Liaodong Navy was, capture the thief and capture the king first, and sink the leader's warship, and the Liaodong Navy would be defeated.

Tai Shi Ci is not stupid, the tactics of the navy are to defeat the leader of the warship first, and let the remaining warships spin around like headless flies, and no one can command them.

This is a tactic that Gongsun Kang has repeatedly communicated with him.

So Tai Shici said: "The Yangzhou fleet is crooked, like a girl!" We ignore him! Go sink it! ”

At that moment, five Liaodong warships came out of the ranks, each aiming at a Yangzhou warship, and aimed the iron ramming angle on the bow of the Yangzhou warship at the waist of the hull of the Yangzhou warship.

The triumphant Yangzhou sailors did not wait for an answer, but found that another warship was crashing into them. Frightened into a cold sweat, he hurriedly drove the boat and escaped.

Tai Shi Ci ordered: "Catch up!" If you can't hit the ship, get closer, board the ship and fight! ”

10 Liaodong warships began to pursue from the front, and the Yangzhou fleet turned its head and fled back, the speed of the two fleets was about the same, and they ran one after the other for half an hour.

But on the waterway, another 10 fleets lined up, just blocking the Yangzhou fleet in the middle.

The Yangzhou fleet was dying and struggling, and viciously rammed into the Liaodong warship that intercepted him.

The Liaodong fleet was not afraid at all and accelerated to meet the front.

The two sides collided together, the ship was ship-to-ship, and neither sank. The Yangzhou soldiers jumped on the opposing ships one after another, brandished their swords and began to fight in close combat.

The Liaodong Navy has one more weapon than the Yangzhou soldiers: the crossbow! Before the Yangzhou Navy was close, the Liaodong Navy raised their crossbows one after another and fired at the Yangzhou soldiers who rushed to shoot.

At a distance of more than 10 meters, it is like a point shot, and the crossbow is fired with hundreds of shots! Poof, poof, poof, the so-called repeating crossbow, a box of five crossbow arrows, all five of which were shot at the same person. Even if the man was beaten with iron, he became a hedgehog rolling on the ground.

The first wave of those who boarded the warships of the Liaodong Navy were the bravest and most ferocious Yangzhou soldiers. Without exception, they were all killed and wounded by the crossbows, and even if they were lucky enough not to die on the spot, they rolled on the ground with five crossbow arrows, suffering so much that they lost the ability to continue fighting.

When the Yangzhou navy behind saw that the situation was not good, they all retracted one after another, and did not dare to board the Liaodong warship again.

If they don't come, we'll go! After firing the crossbow arrows, the soldiers did not have time to change the box, so they threw down the crossbow, pulled out the scimitar, and ran towards the Yangzhou ship.

Some of the soldiers who did not fire crossbow arrows rushed forward with their scimitars at their waists and crossbows in their hands. They were even more terrifying, and the Yangzhou soldiers saw the Liaodong army with crossbows from a distance, and quickly dodged.

The soldiers armed with scimitars and the Yangzhou soldiers began hand-to-hand combat, and both sides had a tenacious will to survive and did not compromise with each other.

But among the soldiers in Yangzhou, the bravest wave was shot. So now it is equivalent to playing with a medium horse and the superior horse of the Liaodong army, and the gap in strength cannot be made up by a tenacious will. So it didn't take long for the Yangzhou soldiers to be defeated one after another, and the result of the defeat was to be wounded or even killed.

The 10 Liaodong fleets that were chasing behind also caught up, and when they saw the ships of both sides that were parked in the Huai River and did not move, they also gradually approached, jumped onto the Yangzhou fleet, and fought and killed.

There are more and more soldiers in Liaodong, and there are fewer and fewer soldiers in Yangzhou. Some Yangzhou soldiers who were not determined threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Tai Shi Ci asked the pro-soldiers to shout together: Surrender and don't kill! Surrender or kill! Surrender or kill!

Shout out important things three times!

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the Yangzhou soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered. Including the captains of the five warships, Yuan Shu's partial generals and Yamen generals also surrendered.

These people are the spark of the water army and have rich experience in water warfare. Definitely not going to kill.

Tai Shi Ci collected them and ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and search for the enemy who was hiding.

Thousands of surrendered sailor soldiers still had to be transported to Liaodong, but they didn't need to go to mining, they just needed to participate in a three-month training course, brainwash and understand what they were going to fight for. After understanding that he had to fight for the people of the Han family and not for the personal ambitions of the princes, he could return to the navy and become a glorious Liaodong army and a member of the revolutionary ranks.

In this battle, five damaged thousand-stone ships were obtained, and they could continue to serve after repairs.

After obtaining the 20,000 stone of grain that was supposed to be transported to the bridge in Guangling County, Tai Shi Cifei sent a pigeon letter to inform Chen Deng of the results of the battle, and began to blockade Huaishui, waiting for the news of Chen Deng's great victory.
