"This is the fourth time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" On the command platform, Yu An stretched out his hand, pointed to the smoke rising in Zhoushan City, and said slowly.

Today is the fourth day of the attack on Zhoushan, these four days, Wu Yue's army stormed Zhoushan, the two sides continue to attack and defend, under the city of Zhoushan, there are countless corpses, the piled up corpses have been a little rancid, the land is wet with blood, feet on the ground, it is easy to slip.

After a few days of siege, fireworks were set off several times in Zhoushan City, which made Yu An feel that this was designed by Yang Lian in advance. But four full days have passed, not to mention the Tang Army's sailors on the sea, not even a small ship of the enemy has been seen, which makes Yu An wonder, what is the Tang Army going to do? Aren't they worried that Zhoushan is really lost, and this strange army will be wiped out? If these Tang troops were simply trying to stall for time, why did they have to occupy Zhoushan and not elsewhere?

Yu Anxin was puzzled, but he couldn't guess what the mystery was, all he could do was to conquer Zhoushan, exterminate the invading enemy, and present a gift to King Wuyue. The battle on this day was still undecided until dusk, and the casualties of the defenders of the Tang army gradually increased, and half of the soldiers were already wounded and could not go into battle.

Yang Lian patrolled the barracks, comforting the soldiers, talking with them, and enlightening them. Walking out of the barracks, Zhang Wenji was a little worried.

Although Zhoushan has never been lost and has always been under the control of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Wenji is worried that the people in the city will rebel, after all, this is the land of Wu Yueguo, Wu Yueguo has been operating here for many years, and his power is very deep.

The city sent a signal on time, Wu Yue people are not stupid, they will inevitably see the clues, the key to this battle is actually not Zhoushan, but the naval battle, whoever can control the sea power, who can seize the opportunity, and the side trapped on the island can only be tied up.

Yang Lian also felt that after these few days of fighting, he had figured out the details of Wu Yueren, so he nodded and agreed.

Ryukyu, after a period of preparation, under the supervision of the Tang soldiers, the foundation of Tucheng has been laid, and in a while, a new city will appear on this isolated island overseas, Lin Renzhao patrolled on the Ryukyus, although the Ryukyus are not large, but there is no problem with self-sufficiency. During this time, Lin Renzhao had already sent troops to inspect the entire island, drawing the shape of the main island of Ryukyu, and he decided to choose an important place to build a castle as a transportation hub on the sea.

When Lin Renzhao was building Tucheng, he also paid attention to the situation in Zhoushan, although Yang Lian had enough troops, he was a lone army and could only rely on Lin Renzhao's sailors to rescue, so Lin Renzhao's support was very important.

In the past few days, Lin Renzhao also captured several merchant ships from the Japanese state, some of which went to Wu Yue to do business, and some of which were Wu Yue merchants, all of whom were full of goods without exception, they did not know that Ryukyu had changed, and they still entered Ryukyu to buy fresh water and repair it, but they were all captured by Lin Renzhao.

Lin Renzhao didn't care so much, he rewarded his subordinates with all the money he obtained, and the three armies got the money, their morale was high, and their training was more diligent.

On the sixth day of the Zhoushan offensive and defensive battle, Lin Renzhao got the news, the news came from the side of Peach Blossom Island, Yu An thought that as long as the main island of Zhoushan was broken, the remaining islands such as Peach Blossom Island and Putuo, Yu An did not send a large army to attack, but only sent troops to strictly defend the main island of Zhoushan.

In the past few days, the smoke on the main island of Zhoushan was seen by Zhang Wenyi, who was guarding Putuo, and he counted carefully according to Yang Lian's order in advance, and found clues from the smoke, so he secretly sent a ship, first south, and then detoured eastward to arrive at Ryukyu.

When Lin Renzhao got the news, he didn't dare to slack off, he immediately set sail west, and the journey was quite smooth, and five days later, the vanguard was less than 20 miles away from Zhoushan. Lin Renzhao paused his advance, and by this time it was already dark, so he stopped on an unknown island nearby, and the three armies dropped anchor, seized the time to rest, checked the ships, and when everything was ready, Lin Renzhao sent ships to patrol.

The night passed very quickly, early the next morning, there was actually some fog, the sun was hidden, although the sky was not very good, but Lin Renzhao still seized the time, the three armies advanced all the way, towards the Zhoushan Islands.

"It's a bit foggy." On the battleship, Zhao Chengtai couldn't help muttering, such weather is not suitable for fighting, but more suitable for sleeping. However, Zhao Chengtai did not take it lightly, and he still sent fighting ships to patrol according to the usual practice, in case there was really a Tang army to kill.

After Zhao Chengtai finished his order, he returned to Shuizhai, and he was guilty of going out to patrol in such weather. There was a faint sound of fighting in Zhoushan City, and it was obvious that Yu An was attacking the city again. These hateful Tang people are really tenacious, Zhoushan has been besieged by regiments, what's the point of resisting?

Zhao Chengtai decided to squint for a while, he hadn't rested well in the past few days, he was very tired, lying on the soft couch, Zhao Chengtai quickly fell asleep.

At this time, under the leadership of Lin Renzhao, the Tang Army's naval division braved the fog and gradually approached the main island of Zhoushan.

As the sun rose, the fog gradually faded, and the sight gradually became clear, a Wu Yuejun's fighting ship found the Tang army's building ship, at this time the distance between the two sides was close, after staring at each other, the Tang soldiers were the first to react, and the arrows rained down like locusts, shooting towards Wu Yuejun.

"Ahh The soldiers of Wu Yuejun screamed a few times, and several people fell down with arrows, convulsing on the ground, and the nearby robes were stunned, and quickly reacted, shouting in a sharp voice: "Enemy attack!" ”

With this sound, more Wu Yue soldiers reacted, and they also returned fire with bows and arrows, but the first hand was lost, and the upper hand was lost, and soldiers continued to fall to the ground.

"Let's go, let's go!" A Wu Yue soldier shouted, looking at his appearance, it should be a capital head, at this time, as the dense fog disappeared, more and more Tang warships appeared in front of him, with their fighting ship alone, it was impossible to fight against the Tang army, it was better to go first, and tell General Zhao the news of the Tang army's attack.

The fighting ship struggled to twist its body, and in the process, more than a dozen robes were shot to death, and after paying a certain number of casualties, Wu Yuejun began to retreat, and the sail was angry, and took advantage of the wind to rush towards the Zhoushan Islands.

Lin Renzhao observed it from a distance, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the Tang warships to maintain their formation and head towards the Zhoushan Islands.

Zhoushan City, Yang Lian took advantage of the gap in the battle, looked at the flag planted in the city, it was the southeast wind, if Lin Renzhao came to help, with the wind, he would be able to rush to Zhoushan in five or six days, the wind direction was favorable, Yang Lian believed that Lin Renzhao would definitely be able to defeat the sailors of Wu Yue's army, and he loudly encouraged the soldiers to fight this battle.

Outside the city, Yu An pursed his lips, the battle to this day, has lasted for nearly half a month, in this half a month, the Tang army has casualties, Wu Yuejun's casualties are even more amazing, because of the siege, Wu Yuejun has paid a greater price, more than 10,000 foot soldiers have lost more than half, if you can't capture Zhoushan, how to explain to the king?

Yu An paced on the command platform, the tenacity of the Tang army was beyond his imagination, he spent too much time in Zhoushan, which made him hesitate, what was Yang Lian, the commander of the Tang army, thinking? Could it be that their plan was just to stick to the city and consume the strength of Wu Yueguo?

During this period of time, he had already received news from Wenzhou, the Tang Army Naval Division did not appear at all, and Cha Wenhui stormed Fu'an County, with the arrival of Wu Yueguo's soldiers and horses from Chuzhou and Taizhou, the two sides were in a stalemate stage, Yu An was puzzled, where was the Tang Army Naval Division hiding? It is not so easy to know that so many warships are hiding in the sea, the main thing is freshwater, so the place where the Tang army is stationed should be on the edge of the island.

However, the islands around Zhoushan have been reconnoitred, except for Taohua Island, Putuo and other relatively large islands where Tang troops are stationed, there is no excess Tang army at all, and relying only on the Tang warships on these islands, it is impossible to defeat Wu Yue's naval division.

As for the distant islands, such as Yizhou, and Fuzhou and other places, Yu An felt that although it was possible to be stationed there, this distance was too far, and the Tang army should not go to these places. Yu An shook his head, no matter where the Tang Army's naval division was, Wu Yue's army's insufficient casualties had reached this point, if he couldn't capture Zhoushan, where would his old face go? Perhaps, Yang Lian is playing tricks, he lights up smoke every day, but in fact, after a few days, there is no Tang Army sailor at all.

Yu An considered whether to pull the soldiers of the water division over to support the siege, at least to crush the Tang army in terms of momentum, at this time, the fight was momentum, and it was a matter of who could hold out longer.

Just as Yu An was thinking, the Tang Army's naval division, under the leadership of Lin Renzhao, approached Zhoushan Island. The speed of the Tang Army's naval division was relatively fast, although Lin Renzhao tried his best, he was still one step slower, and he also met Wu Yueguo's patrol warships along the way, so when Lin Renzhao was more than two miles away from the main island of Zhoushan, he met a group of Wu Yueguo's naval divisions who rushed to intercept him.

Wu Yueguo's naval division saw that there were a lot of naval divisions in the Tang Army, and most of them were large warships such as building ships and warships, so they did not attack easily, but delayed as much as possible.

In the water village, Zhao Chengtai had just fallen asleep, and when he woke up and heard the drums on the side of Zhoushan City still rumbling, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, when will this battle be fought? The loss of the foot soldiers has already exceeded half, and if the fight continues, I am afraid that more than 10,000 people will be wiped out.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps woke him up, Zhao Chengtai frowned, turned over and sat up, and a soldier broke in, hugged his fist, and said, "General, the Tang Army Navy Division has appeared!" ”

"Really?" Cho Seung-tae asked.

"Seriously, almost all of the Tang Army's naval divisions are large warships, at least forty or fifty." Soldier proclamation.

"Forty or fifty, so many?" Zhao Chengtai couldn't help but gasp, although Wu Yueguo's is right, but a considerable part of them are small warships such as walkers and speedboats, and there are also a considerable number of medium-sized fighting ships. The Tang Army suddenly had so many warships, apparently prepared.

"Let's go, let's see!" Zhao Chengtai felt that something was wrong, but he didn't back down, after all, in the battle of the Shengsi Islands, no matter how many sailors the Tang Army had, wasn't it Shao Keqian who attacked more with less and achieved good results? Although there are a lot of them, if they are rabble, they are not worth worrying about.

Zhao Chengtai boarded the main ship, which was large and tall enough to accommodate eight hundred soldiers, and was second to none in terms of attack and defense capabilities. The Wu Yue Army's water division lined up and slowly came out of the water village, showing a fan shape, intending to surround the Tang Army's water division.

Lin Renzhao stood on the main ship, observing the situation of Wu Yuejun, looking at the large number of Wu Yuejun naval divisions, Lin Renzhao guessed that this should be the main force of the Zhoushan Water Division, in addition, there should be a considerable number of naval divisions in Hangzhou, Lin Renzhao narrowed his eyes, this battle is very important, if the naval division of Wu Yueguo is defeated, the situation in the first battle with Wu Yueguo is likely to be rewritten, and the Tang army can take the initiative to attack, drive directly to Hangzhou, and coerce the national capital of Wu Yueguo.

"Are you all ready?" Lin Renzhao asked in a condensed voice.

The generals around him all nodded, and after more than ten days of preparation, the soldiers knew how to fight this battle and how to fight.

The banner of the Tang Army waved, occupying the southeast direction, lined up, slightly protruding in the middle, and the two wings were backward.

Zhao Chengtai sighed, he couldn't figure out what the Tang army was going to do, and the Tang army's actions didn't look like they were going to attack. Zhao Chengtai was a little hesitant, he was obviously unwilling to take the initiative to attack, as long as he held Zhoushan Island and relied on the terrain to deal with the Tang army, this battle would be won sooner or later.

After the Tang Army's sailors set up the formation, they slowly pressed forward, but the speed was not fast, and they moved slowly like a snail.

Zhao Chengtai narrowed his eyes, the Tang army was about to take the initiative to attack, but the main general with the troops was obviously not experienced in water warfare, Zhao Chengtai felt that this battle was nine out of ten, so he ordered to go down and order twenty warships to secretly detour from the north of Zhoushan to attack the rear flank of the Tang army's navy.

The Tang army was still walking slowly, the distance was getting closer and closer, and they were almost parallel to Wu Yuejun's warships, but judging by their speed, it would take a while to kill.

"Pass the order, the soldiers must not slack off, if this battle is fought well, all the Tang Army and Navy Divisions will be annihilated, and everyone will be rewarded!" Cho Seung-tae inspires the soldiers.

"Whoa!" The herald waved the banner and conveyed the military order.

Wu Yueguo sailors received the military order, thunderous cheers, these days, not enough in the fierce attack on Zhoushan, once the city is broken, foot soldiers can enter the city, get a lot of wealth left by the Tang army, and they, did not participate in the siege of the city, I am afraid that the slightest cheap can not get.

Now that the Tang army is attacking, and it seems that their warships are very good, if they are all captured, this is all money! The soldiers of Wu Yueshui Division were thunderous with joy, and everyone was full of spirits, and vowed in their hearts to fight this battle.

The soldiers of the Wu Yue army began to get busy, preparing bows and crossbows, preparing iron claws, and once the Tang army approached, they would give them a little power. The Wu Yue warship moved, and the side of the ship was facing the Tang army, which had a larger killing area and could inflict the greatest damage on the Tang army.

The Tang army can only avoid the fate of being a target by charging with all its strength and using the bow to hit the hull of the ship, but in Zhao Chengtai's opinion, the layout of his battleships is very good, there is a certain gap between the battleships, and there are some warships that are facing the Tang army, even if the Tang army can really rush over, the Wu Yueguo naval division facing the Tang army's battleship can also kill in time to block the Tang army.
