Yuezhou Water Village, received the news of the Tang Army's naval division, several generals were very nervous, at this time, Shao Keqian and Zhao Chengtai were in charge of Hangzhou and Yuezhou's water division, Zhao Chengtai knew that the Tang Army was powerful, ready to stick to the water village, not to confront the Tang Army, Hangzhou, the commander Shao Keqian got the news, immediately organized warships, ready to support Yuezhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At noon, the Tang army battleship arrived outside the Yuezhou water village, Yang Lian was in the largest battleship, holding a pergola, looking into the distance, the Wu Yue army water village looked very tightly defended, and the Wu Yue army sailors could be faintly seen cruising in the water village, there were not many of them, but they were relatively large warships.

In the water village, there are dense wooden piles, and the larger warships have a deep draft, which is difficult to pass. Wu Yuejun just wanted to use sharp wooden stakes to block the Tang army's attack, although the small boat could pass, it could not be the opponent of Wu Yuejun's warship.

The Tang warship floated quietly on the sea, its wings protruding slightly, and it was also very vigilant, Yang Lian observed for a while, and Zhang Wenyi, Zhu Qi and others were by his side, also observing.

"Yang Jiedu, Wu Yuejun seems to have long been thinking of stubbornly defending." Zhu Qi said.

Yang Lian nodded and motioned for the helmsman to move forward, since Wu Yuejun didn't have the intention of taking the initiative to attack, it didn't hurt to get closer. Along with Yang Lian's main ship, there were several warships, scattered on both wings, fanning forward, protecting the main ship.

The battleship slowly stepped forward, Yang Lian squinted his eyes, and carefully looked at the water village of Wu Yuejun, as the distance got closer and closer, more information was obtained, and the water village of Wu Yue army was densely covered with guard towers, and there were crossbowmen on it, they had already taken off the bowstring and were ready to shoot, but at such a distance, Wu Yuejun's crossbowmen were not threatening.

Yang Lian was unhurried, and took the battleship around the Yuezhou Water Village, and found that the defense of the Wu Yue Army Water Village was very tight, there were guard towers everywhere, and the defense was very tight, and it was not so simple to easily capture the Yuezhou Water Village. At this time, the southeast wind had begun to blow, Yang Lian looked at the flying flag, and slowly retreated.

Zhao Chengtai in the water village breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Tang army will not attack in a short time, speaking of which, he has some lingering palpitations about the Tang army's water warfare ability, perhaps because he was afraid of being beaten in the first battle of Zhoushan. Zhao Chengtai ordered to go down, and the soldiers stepped up patrols and held on to the water village.

Yang Lian inspected and returned, at this time the soldiers had already eaten, were waiting for orders, Yang Lian and the generals discussed for a while, and soon, several buildings with relatively spacious decks slowly stepped forward, and the wings were still protected by various warships, as the Tang army approached, Wu Yuejun became nervous again.

The Tang warship stopped outside the sharp wooden stake, which was about eighty paces away from the water village, and had already entered the range of the archers, but such a distance was a bit strong, and if the enemy resisted with a shield, the lethality was not great.

Tang saber and shield soldiers were guarding outside, groups of soldiers began to be busy, they quickly assembled the catapults on the spacious deck, it seemed that they were going to prepare to bombard the water village, Zhao Chengtai thought about it slightly, and knew that the Tang army was to solve the sentry tower in the water village first, and then try to remove the sharp wooden stakes under the water, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen to shoot, and the building boat also drove to the inside of the water village, the crossbowmen ignited the rocket, and kept throwing, and the arrow feathers crossed the fence of the water village and flew towards the Tang warship.

The Tang army did not fight back, the sword and shield soldiers erected their shields, the rockets fell, and immediately some soldiers took the sacks, which were filled with soil, these extremely sticky dirt were spread on the ground, the soldiers were not easy to slip, and the rockets were not easy to burn, and the sword and shield soldiers only needed to block the arrow feathers.

Yang Lian observed the situation not far away, Zhang Wenyi was stunned, and said: "The soil that Yang Jiedu originally prepared has this effect, and I admire it humbly." ”

Yang Lian smiled, this is also what Wu Yueguo played back then, he just borrowed it, on water warfare, when Wu Yueguo was at its peak, Yang Wu was not an opponent at all, if it weren't for the big gap in strength between the two sides, I'm afraid Wu Yueguo would have gone north long ago and captured Jinling and Guangling.

After a stick of incense time to prepare, the Tang soldiers have set up the catapult, this kind of rope twisting catapult has been improved, the range can be 120 steps, farther than the ordinary bow and arrow, after the soldiers are ready, one of them stepped forward, said: "Yang Jiedu, all the catapults have been prepared." ”

"Okay, let's try the range first!" Yang Lian commanded.

All heads bowed slightly, retreated, the Tang soldiers began to put the stone as big as the head in the groove of the catapult, shouted in unison, the stone flew into the sky, and smashed towards the water village, some stones fell on the fence, the fence snapped, and some fell into the water, stirring up a wave.

After a round of projectiles, the soldiers stopped attacking, adjusted the range, and after some busyness, they fired again, and the stone fell into the water wall and smashed on the watchtower, almost smashing the wood of the watchtower.

Yang Lian nodded, he mainly looked at the range, but Zhao Chengtai was startled, Tang Jun's catapult looked very small, but the range was so far that he was surprised. However, although the Tang army had a long range, the stones they used were only the size of a human head, and their lethality was limited, so Zhao Chengtai was not very worried.

Yang Lian slowly paced forward, carefully observed, and when he reached the side of the catapult, Yang Lian waved his hand, and a head quickly approached, and said, "Yang Jiedu." ”

"Put on those things and give Wu Yuejun a little color." Yang Lian commanded.

In the box on the side, there were many things, and when they were opened, they were fish maws filled with lime, and in addition to lime, there were also a small number of sharp stone grains. The soldiers put the swim bladder in the groove, with the order of the head, the swim bladder flew into the air, first rose rapidly, when it reached the apex, it fell suddenly, at this time, due to the relationship of gravity, the sharp stone particles cut the swim bladder, the lime sprinkled out, with the southeast wind blowing, the lime all floated towards the Wu Yue army water village.

Some Wu Yuebing, who had experienced the battle of Zhoushan and water, found that the situation was not good and were about to dodge, but the lime came quickly, and the lime was not in a hurry, and the lime entered the mouth and eye, and it was as if it was burned. The soldiers screamed and chose to retreat, and the boat quickly drove away.

With the ejection of the Tang army, more and more lime entered the water village, under the action of the southeast wind, fluttering and sprinkling, as if it was snowing, so that the Wu Yue army water village was shrouded in white, Zhao Chengtai chose to retreat, the farther away from the Tang army, the safer it was.

At this time, the Tang soldiers moved again, they released the boat, went to the stake, tied the stake with ropes, the battleship retreated, and under the huge pull, the sharp stakes were pulled up. At the same time, the Tang army still maintained enough pressure on the Wu Yue army's naval division, so that the robes were able to successfully dismantle the wooden stakes.

Time passed little by little, an hour and a half later, the Tang army had removed most of the sharp wooden piles, and had a section about fifty steps wide that could be navigated, the battleship tried to move forward, Yang Lian did not do major damage to the fence, for him, Yuezhou Water Village is an excellent anchoring place, if it is taken, the Tang Army Navy Division can be stationed here.

After the gate of the water village was opened, Yang Lian first sent two warships in and continued to throw fish bladders, swaying lime.

Zhao Chengtai was a little helpless about the Tang Army's offensive, and what he couldn't understand was why the Tang Army was not affected by the lime, could it be that they would all be unable to do witchcraft? However, time did not let him wait longer, the Tang army had begun to advance gradually, due to the wind direction, it was very difficult for Wu Yuejun to attack, and the lime flying in the sky made Zhao Chengtai very depressed, helpless, and couldn't think of a way for a while.

At this time, in Hangzhou, Shao Keqian got the news and was a little hesitant, it stands to reason that he should support Yuezhou, because now the Tang army has an advantage, if the Yuezhou naval division is broken, the strength of the Wu Yuejun naval division will be further weakened, and the situation will be even more unfavorable.

Shao Keqian made two preparations, so that he could send people to Hangzhou to ask the king, and at the same time send an order for the soldiers to prepare to support Yuezhou, and once the king agreed to support, he would immediately send troops. After waiting for four hours, the sun was already setting in the west, and Shao Keqian got the king's order.

Qian Hongyu discussed with Wu Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, for a long time, and felt that the Yuezhou Naval Division was heavily guarded, and although the number of warships was not as large as that of the Tang Army, the defenders had always had some advantages, and it was no problem to hold for a period of time and consume the Tang Army. When the Tang army could not attack for a long time and the morale was low, the Hangzhou Navy Division would be able to wait for work and defeat the Tang Army Navy Division in one fell swoop.

Qian Hongyu imitated Yang Lian and deliberately guarded Zhoushan, attracting the attention of Wu Yue people, and then defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. Qian Hongyu felt that if he could defeat Yang Lian like this, he would be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Therefore, the key to this battle is whether Zhao Chengtai can hold the Yuezhou Water Village.

The Hangzhou Navy Division could not be supported, but he still ordered the Yijin army of Yuezhou to rush to the dock, once necessary, they boarded the ship to fight, the Yijin army is the most elite army in Wu Yue, although it is not good at water warfare, but it can still be used.

After receiving Qian Hongyu's order, Shao Keqian sighed, he felt that only by concentrating his forces could he repel the Tang army in one fell swoop, but the king did not agree to his attack, which meant that the Yuezhou Naval Division was inferior in terms of numbers.

However, how long will Cho Seung-tae be able to hold on? Shao Keqian knew that Zhao Chengtai was defeated by the Tang army in the first battle of Zhoushan, and he had said more than once that the warships of the Tang army's naval division were very strong and the tactics were very scoundrels, and he had not yet thought of a countermeasure. Now although Zhao Chengtai has a water village to defend, with the cunning of the Tang army, who knows what tricks will be made? Just in case, Shao Keqian was very cautious to send a relatively fast warship to observe the battle in Yuezhou, if it was really unfavorable, he might have to consider disobeying the king's order and rush to support.

Several speedboats under the control of the soldiers, all the way to the south, trying their best to rush towards Yuezhou, because the wind direction is southeast, so to a certain extent affected the speed of the speedboat, the speedboat walked for half an hour, at this time, the tall battleships of the Tang Army appeared in the distance, they lined up in a row, blocking the front.
