In the strong wind, the warships of the Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue confronted each other four or five miles outside the main island of Zhoushan, and the Tang Army's naval division took the offensive, but the speed of the ship was relatively slow, which gave the Wu Yue Naval Division plenty of time to prepare.

The Tang Army's sailors walked slowly, but the soldiers were busy, and the improvised catapult was pushed up, this kind of catapult used the power generated by the twisting of the hemp rope, and the range was slightly farther than that of ordinary bows and arrows, about one hundred and twenty paces, and the soldiers put bags of items in the grooves of the catapults.

"Ready!" The captains of the teams shouted loudly, observing the distance.

The soldiers of Wu Yuejun were a little strange, what was Tang Jun going to do? Just when they didn't understand, the Tang army battleship had already approached, and under the order of Du Tou, the catapult was thrown, and the white object in the groove crossed a graceful arc and ran towards the Wu Yue army battleship.

Although some of them fell into the sea, most of the objects still fell on the ship, and as soon as the thing landed, there was a loud noise, and it exploded with a "bang", and suddenly, countless round beans spilled out and jumped happily on the ground.

Some Wu Yue soldiers saw things smashing, instinctively raised the blade in their hands and slashed forward, the same loud noise, the round beans scattered in all directions, some soldiers were caught off guard, fell to the ground, and fell to the ground, bruised and swollen. I want to get up from the deck, but there are a lot of round beans on the ground, and if I am not careful, I will fall.

The soldiers of the Tang Army threw round beans while moving forward quickly, and after entering the range of the archers, there was a burst of projectiles, most of the soldiers of the Wu Yue Army were struggling on the ground at this time, and they were caught off guard by the Tang Army, many people were hit by arrows, and the blood was dripping with blood, and the round beans rolling on the deck were soaked with blood, becoming more sleek, and it was even more difficult for the soldiers to get up.

This creates a kind of cycle, the more you try to get up, but you can't stand steadily, the easier it is to fall, the body bleeds, the round beans become red, the round beans become more lubricated, and the soldier is more likely to fall. This scene happened too fast, and Zhao Chengtai, who was in the rear army, couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene.

He remembered the past, although he was still young, and did not participate in that war, but the elders still told him about the battle, it was the Later Liang period, Wu Yue was invited by Emperor Liang, the sailor went north, and Yang Wu fought in Tongzhou, north of Changshu, when Wu Yueguo's naval commander was Qian Chuanjun, at that time Wu Yuejun used soybeans, grass ash, yellow sand and other things, grass ash was used to confuse the enemy's eyes, so that they could not see clearly, soybeans made the enemy unstable, as for the yellow sand, it was to keep themselves from harm. That battle is also called the battle of bean ash. The name of Qian Chuanqian spread all over the country.

How similar is today's battle, Zhao Chengtai pursed his lips and clenched his fists, this battle must not be lost, failure means that Zhoushan's sea control will be handed over, and it will be difficult to regain it. Zhao Chengtai quickly made adjustments, the battleships in front retreated backwards, and the battleships on both wings were sandwiched in the middle.

Wu Yueguo's battleship is several zhang tall, compared to the Tang army's battleship, it is about half a zhang taller, this is an advantage, Zhao Chengtai is ready to use the height of the battleship to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Tang army, so that the Tang army's round beans will lose its effect.

The military flag conveyed the military order, and the battleships on both sides of the Wu Yue army quickly turned their bows and drove quickly towards the Tang army's naval division, and the soldiers on the deck kept shooting arrows in an attempt to stop the Tang army from throwing round beans.

Lin Renzhao stood in the distance, seeing Wu Yuejun's plan, he waved his hand and told the standard-bearer, the vanguard of the Tang Army's naval division suddenly accelerated and chased towards the chaotic Wu Yuejun naval division, although the Tang army's battleship was not fast at first, but once it accelerated, the speed was no worse than Wu Yuejun's.

Several warships of the Tang Army caught up with Wu Yuejun and hit the horns fiercely, "Boom! After a loud bang, then a "click" sound was heard, and the battleship of the Wu Yue Army's naval division was hit by the hull, and the crumbling planks were knocked away, and there were signs of damage.

"Ah, it's leaking!" The soldiers of Wu Yuejun shouted loudly and panicked, and the soldiers on the broken ship were even more panicked, although there was already a watertight compartment at this time, but now the damage was too great, the ship as a whole was damaged, and the watertight compartment was useless.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The Tang warships continued to ram forward, and the collision horns attacked fiercely, and the Wu Yue warships continued to sink into the sea under the ferocious impact, and the Wu Yue soldiers fluttered in the sea, accidentally drank several mouthfuls of seawater, and were choked and stared at directly.

After the Wu Yue army battleship sank two, the two wings of the battleships also killed, they continued to shoot arrow feathers, and struggled to suppress the Tang army's firepower, several battleships gradually approached the Tang army, Wu Yue soldiers were overjoyed, quickly took out the iron claws, danced in the air with a loud sound, threw hard, grabbed the Tang army's battleship, they struggled to pull, intending to fight with the Tang army, so that the Tang army's advantage would be gradually neutralized.

The Tang battleship quickly turned around and rushed towards Wu Yuejun. There were also several Tang warships that were caught, and they couldn't turn around for a while, and they were getting closer and closer to the Wu Yue warships, and the soldiers could even hear the shouts of Wu Yue soldiers.

The soldiers of the two armies were firing at each other, and from time to time soldiers fell, and the sword and shield soldiers moved forward, guarding their robes, and after some effort, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and the distance changed from seventy to fifty, and then from fifty to thirty, and then to a dozen steps. Many Wu Yue soldiers were eager to try, ready to jump onto the Tang warships and seize the ships.

At this moment, the Tang soldiers suddenly threw out bags of things packed with fish bladders, which were not big, only the size of a fist, and contained white powder, and they didn't know what they were. Some of the Wu Yue soldiers were defenseless, so they stretched out their hands to block, and some were quite clever and felt that it was not good, so they dodged away. But the thing smashed on the ground, and with a soft "bang", it suddenly exploded, and the white powder inside flew everywhere.

"Ahh My eyes! A Wu Yue soldier screamed, the white powder entered his eyes, like being burned, burning his eyes painfully, he didn't dare to open his eyes, tears poured out, but as the tears poured out, his eyes were even more burning.

"Ahh Many Wu Yuejun soldiers screamed, the severe pain made them roll on the ground, the Wu Yuejun soldiers who rushed to hear the news did not know why, their eyes widened and looked at the white patch, the white powder entered their eyes, and more people began to scream, rolling on the ground.

The soldiers of the Tang Army took out the iron claws at this time, and also grabbed Wu Yuejun's battleship, although it was more rewarding to damage Wu Yuejun's battleship, but if these battleships were kept intact, it would be a lot of income. The Tang soldiers quickly pulled this together, and the two sides approached, and the sides of the ship collided violently, and the hull of the ship shook for a while.

The Tang soldiers carried their knives and jumped over, slashing indiscriminately in the white powder, and the Wu Yue soldiers of the nearby battleship saw it, and they were very frightened in their hearts, and they didn't understand what was going on. In the face of white powder, why were the Wu Yue people harmed, but the Tang soldiers were not affected in any way?

Seeing that Pao Ze became a dead soul under the Tang saber, the Wu Yue soldiers of the nearby ships were trembling, and they were afraid in their hearts, and more Tang warships rushed to and kept throwing fist-sized fish bladders, the fish bladders broke when they touched things, and even broke in mid-air, and the powder continued to fly in mid-air, and more and more Wu Yue soldiers were damaged in their eyes, and soon they felt as if they were burned, they didn't dare to open their eyes, they couldn't see anything clearly, and they could only let the Tang soldiers kill.

"Silk!" In the distance, Zhao Chengtai's face changed greatly, due to the distance, he couldn't see what happened clearly, but one thing is certain, Wu Yue Sailor, who has always been famous for water battles, actually suffered a big loss in this battle, what kind of magic power does the Tang army have? Zhao Chengtai was puzzled.

The situation of the battle developed in favor of the Tang army, Lin Renzhao waved his hand, and the Tang army's naval divisions marched hand in hand, encircling and killing Wu Yuejun, and the clap rod also played a role at this time, the iron hammer continued to hit the Wu Yue army battleship, the wood was constantly hit, the wood flew sideways, and the losses of Wu Yue army expanded rapidly, from one battleship to two, two to three, more and more Wu Yue warships were captured or sunk.

Zhao Chengtai's face was pale, this battle was beyond his imagination, originally Wu Yueguo's naval division battleships still had an advantage in numbers, but in just an hour and a half, Wu Yue's naval division was close to losing half. Taking advantage of the fact that the stones were flourishing, the Tang army sailors continued to rush and kill, and when they were far away, they used catapults, and when they were closer, they used bows and arrows, and when they were closer, they threw fish bladders wrapped in strange white powder.

"General Zhao, withdraw!" The face of a pro-soldier changed greatly, the Tang Army's naval division was like a god descending from heaven, unstoppable, if he didn't leave, I am afraid that the remaining naval division battleships would be folded here.

Zhao Chengtai bit his lip and didn't speak, blood was already oozing from his lips, but he didn't feel pain.

"General!" The soldiers approached his ear and shouted loudly.

Zhao Chengtai's body shook and came back from his contemplation, he quickly glanced around, the Tang warships had already surrounded him, and if he didn't leave, he would really be dumplings.

"Let's go!" Zhao Chengtai shouted loudly, at this time, he could no longer care about the charge of defeat, and it was not a pity for him to die, but the Tang Army Navy had such a powerful force, he had to tell the king the news, so that he could be prepared. At this time, although the Wu Yue Army Naval Division failed, there were still a certain number of warships, and if one more battleship was retained, there would be more hope for a turnaround in the future.

The soldiers heard Zhao Chengtai's order, immediately set sail and fled, in the face of death, they broke out with a particularly large force, three warships rushed left and right, and finally escaped, Zhao Chengtai did not dare to stay for a long time, ran towards the Shengsi Islands, passing through Daqu Mountain on the way, Zhao Chengtai took away the two fighting ships left in Daqu Mountain.

"Win!" Lin Renzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wu Yueguo's sailors fleeing, the strategy of this battle came from Yang Lian's instructions, who could know in advance that just simple round beans and lime could have an effect?

The Tang soldiers won a great victory, and some of the soldiers jumped onto the battleships of the Wu Yue Naval Division, controlled them, and imprisoned the Wu Yue soldiers who were lucky not to die. At this time, the soldiers of the Wu Yue army had no ability to resist, and the lime entered their eyes, and when they met the eye fluid, a large amount of heat was generated, burning their eyes, although these soldiers did not die, but they were already blind.

Lin Renzhao left a part of the soldiers to guard the prisoners and warships, and personally led thirty warships to the water village, at this time, the Wu Yue army sailors who stayed in the water village had already received the news, the rout of the main force made them panic, some soldiers sent people to inform Yu An, some soldiers immediately set sail and fled, and some soldiers were like flies without heads, not knowing what to do.

When Lin Renzhao's army arrived, there were only a few Wu Yue army sailors left behind in Shuizhai, and most of them were small warships, and in terms of naval battles, they were not the opponents of large warships at all. Lin Renzhao did not spend much effort to occupy the water village, and after Lin Renzhao went ashore, he led his troops to the camp of the Wu Yue army.

Outside Zhoushan City, Yu An is like a green pine, his waist is straight, the war in Zhoushan has reached the most critical moment, he has invested most of his troops, and it is only a matter of time before he takes Zhoushan County.

When the Tang Army's naval division attacked, Zhao Chengtai sent someone to inform him, Yu An felt that the Zhoushan Water Division plus the Hangzhou Water Division, just the building boats, the number of warships was very high, there were more than seventy, not to mention small ships such as walkers and speedboats, Wu Yueguo's water battle was sharp, and Zhao Chengtai was a battlefield general, Yu An felt that it was no problem to defeat the Tang Army's naval division.

The water battle between Wu Yueguo and the Tang Army, with more wins and fewer defeats, is a kind of psychological advantage, and Wu Yueguo will win! With the start of the war of the water division, Yu An slowed down the intensity of the siege, if the Tang army and the water division were annihilated, there would be no hope for this Tang army, as long as the head of the Tang army and the water division was thrown into Zhoushan City, would Yang Lian still insist?

No, obviously not, so Yu An's mood was quite relaxed, and he talked and laughed with Zhang Yun on the side, both of them thought that in the face of absolute superiority, Wu Yueguo would win!

The sun gradually moved westward, Yu An stood on tiptoe, turned around and looked at the direction of the sea behind him, the water battle should have a result, after all, there are more than 70 large warships in Wu Yueguo, and the battle of the Shengsi Islands has proved that the Tang Army's naval division is vulnerable.

At this time, Zhang Yun found that about four or five miles ahead, there was a figure moving rapidly, a little closer, Zhang Yun fixed his eyes and saw that it was a cavalryman, thinking that it was to deliver news.

"General Yu, there's news!" Zhang Yun pointed at the galloping cavalryman with his finger and said with a smile, his mouth almost closed.

"It must be that after General Zhao's great victory, he sent someone to bring the news." Yu An said that in his heart, there is no such word as failure.

"General Yu, you can send someone to persuade the defenders in Zhoushan City to surrender." Zhang Yun offered advice.

"Well, this is nature." Yu An nodded, called a pro-soldier, and gave a few orders, asking him to enter the city to persuade the Tang army to surrender, as long as the Tang army is willing to surrender, everything is easy to say, at least they can live, this is no problem, if they refuse to surrender, Yu An only has one word, that is, "kill"!

The pro-soldiers got the order, quickly walked off the command platform, and ran towards Zhoushan City, at this time the two sides suspended the fighting, the battlefield was densely covered with corpses, and the pro-soldiers approached Zhoushan City, and shouted loudly: "I am the envoy of Wu Yueguo, where is General Yang?"
