On the Shengsi Islands, on the mountain on the northern boundary of the main island, Yu An held Qian Hongyu's secret order in his hand, and his mood was heavy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

He waved his army north, intending to defeat the Tang army's naval division in one fell swoop, so that Zhoushan's troops were relatively empty, and Zhoushan was stolen by the Tang army who didn't know where it came from, which made him very depressed. Due to its special geographical environment, Zhoushan has many sheltered ports, which are suitable for sailors to be stationed.

Now that Zhoushan has been seized, Mingzhou's outlet to the sea has been ceded to the Tang army, and overseas trade will be greatly affected, so Zhoushan is the most important essence area for Wu Yueguo, and it makes sense that King Qian Hongyu is so anxious.

Yu An also wanted to recapture Zhoushan, but in the absence of accurate information from the Tang Army, he would definitely not venture forward. When he left, there were more than a dozen ships and ships left in Zhoushan, which should have had the strength to fight, but Zhoushan was broken in one day, and the detailed battle situation was far from clear, so in the north of the Shengsi Islands, there were still Tang troops eyeing the situation, Yu An could not retreat rashly.

Although the North Boundary Mountain is not big, there are many peaks on it, and more than 1,000 foot soldiers are stationed, and his plan is to defend the North Boundary Mountain, as long as the North Boundary Mountain is under the control of Wu Yueguo, he can threaten the Tang army going south. Of course, a certain number of sailors must also be left behind to defend the northern boundary mountain. In the big battle a few days ago, Yu An had a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of this Tang Army's naval division.

Yu An planned to leave Shao Keqian to stay in the Northern Boundary Mountain, and he personally led the main force of the Zhoushan Water Division to the south, and he must recapture Zhoushan in one fell swoop. As soon as the news of Zhoushan arrived, he could immediately wave his army south.

In Zhoushan County, Yang Lian sent people to post notices to appease the people of Zhoushan, and at the same time, he sent people to buy a large number of black beans, in addition, there were a lot of lime, and many generals didn't know why Yang Lian did this, he just laughed and didn't explain.

Yang Lian knew that Mingzhou must have spread the news to Hangzhou, Qian Hongyu would definitely not be willing to lose Zhoushan, the army was about to be killed, and the main force was Zhoushan Water Division, Yang Lian's purpose was to exterminate the living force of Wu Yueguo's naval division, once Wu Yueguo lost the ability to fight water, Yang Lian could block the route, cut off Wu Yueguo's business road, and greatly reduce Wu Yueguo's financial revenue.

How to defeat the Zhoushan water master, Yang Lian already had an idea, after occupying Zhoushan, Yang Lian sent people to buy black beans and lime at the same time, often ran to the water village, observing the surrounding terrain, he also got on the boat, observed the wind direction, after two days of observation, Yang Lian finally made a decision, he only left five building ships in the dock, and the other building ships and ships sailed eastward, hidden in the depths of the ocean.

In the water village, Yang Lian also made preparations, and the people nailed down hundreds of wooden piles, about 20 inches from the sea, and both ends of the wooden piles were sharpened, and Wu Yuejun wanted to rush in, and he must pay a price. The foot soldiers stayed in Zhoushan County, preparing to fight a defensive battle.

The Tang army was nervously preparing, and the ships sent by Wu Yuejun to reconnoiter quickly brought the news back. Yu An received the news and was a little unsure that the Tang army only had five warships on Zhoushan Island, and even if Taohua Island, Putuo and other islands were added, the Tang army would not have more than ten warships.

Yu An didn't believe that the Tang army only had such a few warships, so he was very cautious to send fighting ships to patrol the sea, making sure to find the Tang army's hidden warships. However, without waiting for him to find it, Qian Hongyu sent someone to ask him to march quickly and recover Zhoushan.

At this time, Qian Hongli felt a huge pressure, Cha Wenhui went north, stormed Fu'an County, the Tang army fought bravely, although Fu'an County was not lost, but it was in danger, Qian Hongli planned to recover Zhoushan, with the water division to defend it, and then transfer the army of Mingzhou, rush to Fu'an, block Cha Wenhui's offensive.

Yu An sighed, and after explaining to Shao Keqian, he left enough warships for him to defend the Northern Boundary Mountain, and he led the main force of the Zhoushan Water Division to the south, along the way, Yu An was cautious, and the battleship set off in a fan shape, the speed was very slow, and when it arrived near Daqu Mountain, Yu An sent troops to land on the island. The Wu Yue soldiers on the island had been killed, but surprisingly, the Tang army did not send troops to stay, apparently because of insufficient troops.

Yu An left a hundred soldiers stationed on the already damaged dock and continued to lead his troops south. At this time, it was not far from Zhoushan, and the ships of the Tang army could be seen galloping from a distance.

Wu Yuejun continued to go south, passing by islands of different sizes, stopping at Lanxiu Mountain, which is a relatively large island between Daishan and Zhoushan, with dense forests and relatively flat terrain, Lanxiu Mountain is about four and a half miles away from Zhoushan, and the distance is very short.

Yu An stopped and sent fast boats to patrol around, and the main warships such as Lou Ship and Stern set sail south, but at this time it was a southeast wind, and the speed was a little slow, but it was no big problem.

On the main island of Zhoushan, Yang Lian stood on the dock, staring at the scenery outside the island, Yu An led the main force of the Zhoushan Water Division to the south, he had already got the news, the Zhoushan Water Division did not count the warships such as the building ship and the stern, there were hundreds of small boats, and the ants bit the elephant to death, and the strength was different.

A small boat rushed quickly, and due to the shallow draft, it was easy to enter the dock, and the soldiers reported the situation to Yang Lian. According to observations, Wu Yue's naval division had at least thirty or more large battle ships heading south. This amount made Yang Lian shake his head, he knew that this meant that Qian Hongyu did not increase his troops to Yu An, and it was impossible to severely damage the main force of Wu Yueguo's naval division in one fell swoop, Yang Lian could only eat them one bite at a time.

Since Yu An is here, Yang Lian can only defeat him first, and then see what Qian Hongyu plans. The five ships of the Tang army were moored in the wharf, lined up, and Yang Lian had people lock them with iron chains, and then moved the catapults up, waiting for the attack of Wu Yuejun.

At the same time, north of the Shengsi Islands, Fang Jinzhao held Yang Lian's handwritten letter in his hand, and the frowning brows that had been frowning gradually relaxed. In the battle of the Shengsi Islands, he suffered huge losses, if he couldn't save the war, he would not only fail to be the secretary of the military department, but also his life, who made him swear that he could contain the sailors of Wu Yue's army?

The letter written by Yang Lian is stamped with the seal of Zhoushan County, which proves that Yang Lian has captured Zhoushan. Yang Lian told him that Wu Yueguo would definitely recapture Zhoushan at all costs, and he needed Fang Jinzhao's cooperation, and the Zhoushan Landscape Master would definitely go south, so Fang Jinzhao's task was to try to capture Shengsi, and then cut off the connection between Hangzhou and Zhoushan on the sea route.

When Fang Jinzhao was groaning, a soldier came to report that he had received the news that the Wu Yue Army's Zhoushan Water Division had gone south, and now there were only fifteen building ships in the Beijie Mountain. Although the Tang army suffered setbacks in the previous war, it was still relatively strong compared to the strength of the Northern Boundary Mountain.

Although the sailors of Runzhou and Guangling were frustrated, the Jing Navy and Haizhou Army had almost no losses, and the Jing Navy fought many times with the Wu Yue people, and their strength was relatively strong, so Fang Jinzhao had the idea of being ashamed, and he immediately gathered the generals of each army and told the intention of going south to attack the North Boundary Mountain.

Runzhou and Guangling naval divisions were frustrated, holding their breath in their hearts, the strength of the Jing Navy did not suffer much loss, and they were also eager to try, wanting to seize the merits, and this small meeting quickly reached a consensus: send troops!

Zhoushan, Yu An's sailors cautiously moved forward, fearing that they would fall into the tricks of the Tang army, and the distance of several miles took an hour, and then they arrived in Zhoushan, standing on the boat, at a glance, there were not many warships of the Tang army, and they hid in the water village and did not come out.

Yu An was puzzled, did the Tang army that captured Zhoushan really have just a few warships? What's going on? Could it be that the Tang army hid the battleship, but in the past few days of inspection, no trace of the Tang army's battleship has been found. Or, was it the Tang warship that went south to Wenzhou, preparing the sailors to take Wenzhou by surprise, and then fight Cha Wenhui?

When Yu An was thinking about all kinds of possibilities, he was getting closer and closer to Zhoushan, and he could already see clearly the situation in the water village that originally belonged to Wu Yueguo, which was built under the supervision of the original person, so Yu An knew very well that if he wanted to break through the water village, he would have to pay a price.

However, there are not many battleships of the Tang Army's naval division, maybe they can take the water village in one go, Yu An decided to attack tentatively, he first sent a small boat, cautiously approaching the water village, maybe it was the big battle a few days ago, the gate of the water village was not repaired in time, Wu Yuejun approached the water village relatively smoothly, and the sharp-eyed soldiers had seen the Tang army's battleships tied together by iron cables.

"Could it be that they are not familiar with water warfare, so they follow Cao Cao's example?" There are soldiers who are familiar with history, thinking so in their hearts.

Since the Tang army did not move, Wu Yuejun began to attack, and the boat rushed in, the draft of the boat was relatively shallow, and the sea was rising at this time, so the Wu Yuejun boat was not affected too much.

When the Tang army saw Wu Yuejun killing, the arrow feather was shot, and the Wu Yue army on the small boat wanted to counterattack, but he couldn't shoot the arrow feather, and after seven or eight people died, Wu Yuejun retreated.

"General, the boat is not good, the building ship of the Tang Army is too high." The returning soldier bowed his head and prayed.

Yu An looked light-hearted, he naturally knew that the small boat could not take the big boat, just now it was just a temptation, he waved his hand, signaled the five building boats to attack the water village, and in the same way, he asked the soldiers to be more careful.

The building boat rushed towards the water village, and when he entered the gate, the Wu Yue soldiers began to shoot arrows to attack, and the Tang soldiers were stunned, at this time, the distance was still far away, and the range of the arrow feathers could not be reached. In order to boost morale, Wu Yuejun's big drum sounded, the drums were bursting, and the morale of the soldiers was very high.

As the building gradually advanced in distance, the Tang army also began to fight back, and for a while, arrow feathers flew in the air, and from time to time soldiers fell down with arrows. Wu Yuejun sped up, they lost just now because the small boat was defeated by the big ship, and before they could get close, they were killed by the arrow feathers shot by the Tang army. Now that they have a big ship, they are naturally not afraid.

The ship sped up, and when it was only more than fifty steps away from the Tang Army, several Wu Yue soldiers had already taken out their iron claws and danced in mid-air, ready to hook the Tang Army's battleship, but suddenly, the hull of the ship shook, and the soldiers were caught off guard, fell off the battleship, fell into the water, and were stabbed to death by a wooden stake, and the sea water was suddenly red.

The soldiers of Wu Yueguo, who were lucky not to fall into the sea, were frightened, and at this time, someone shouted loudly: "The ship is broken, it is going to sink, flee quickly!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the Tang army's catapults began to attack, and large cobblestones fell, which caused great damage to the battleship and accelerated the sinking of the battleship

The sea water is like a ferocious beast, quickly pouring in through the gap, and some of them are slow to react, they are swept into the water, fluttering and drinking several sips of seawater. Seeing that the situation was not good, more Wu Yueguo soldiers immediately jumped into the sea, and some people swam towards the shore, and he was greeted by the dense arrow feathers of the Tang army, which soon turned into a hornet's nest one by one.

Some swam towards the water village, but the small boat hidden behind the building boat by the Tang army quickly pounced, sharp arrows were shot, spears were pierced, Wu Yuejun suffered many casualties, and those who were lucky not to die almost fed the big fish.

Yang Lian stood on the deck, observing the situation, it was necessary to resist, but how long could the five warships last?

In the distance, Yu An pursed his lips, without a trace of expression on his face, he was a veteran of the battlefield, and he died in battle, for him, there was no fluctuation. The small boat failed, and the big ship also lost, and the soldiers who fled back told him that the Tang army had buried wooden stakes in the water, and the big ship could not go over, and it was impossible to capture the water village at all.

Moreover, the battleships of the Tang Army were tied with iron cables, which hardly shook much, and the catapults placed on the ships were so powerful that they could not stop them at all.

Yu An frowned, although there were not many warships in the Tang Army, they looked very powerful. If you want to attack the water village, you must pull out the wooden stakes under the water, and this is undoubtedly extremely time-consuming, Yu An decided not to attack the water village.

Zhoushan is an island, although there is a suitable place to do a wharf, but more places are tidal flats, not suitable for landing, but this is difficult for Yu An, when he rescued Fuzhou, he thought of a way to land, so now what is needed is time, as long as you prepare something, you can board Zhoushan, and the defense facilities arranged by the Tang army in the water village are useless.

With a wave of his hand, Yu An announced the withdrawal of his troops, and they returned to Daqu Mountain, actively cutting down trees, and preparing to attack Zhoushan again.

Seeing Wu Yuejun retreating, Yang Lian smiled, this is not a smile of victory, but Yang Lian knows that he is one step closer to success, Yu An temporarily retreated, and he will definitely come again, he has been in Zhoushan for a long time, and he is familiar with water warfare, so he naturally knows how to land.

Since Yu An thought of a way, then the defense facilities of the water village are not very useful, Yang Lian ordered the water village to be burned, and the few warships were also burned, anyway, these warships are the original Zhoushan water division, not his own baby, Yang Lian is not distressed.

The water village burned, the fire soared to the sky, and Daqu Mountain, which was a few miles away, was also seen, and the Wuyue soldiers who cut down trees saw it, so they went to tell Yu An. When Yu An heard this, he was very surprised, what was going on? But it was already dark, and he didn't want the soldiers to be in danger, so he didn't let anyone go to hear the news, it was dark, who knew if there was an ambush by the Tang army? He felt that nine times out of ten it was Tang Jun's deliberate act to lure him into being deceived.

He ordered the soldiers not to act without his orders. The three armies accelerated the pace of cutting down trees, especially keeping branches and leaves, and then tying the branches and leaves together, in addition, he also cut down a lot of reeds, which were also tied together. Yu An had to prepare enough things before dawn for the next day's landing.

At this time, Yang Lian had already given up the water village and concentrated his troops in Zhoushan County, preparing to rely on the strong city to attract the attention of Wu Yue's army and consume the strength of Wu Yue's army. (To be continued.) )
