Yu An was anxious to recover Zhoushan, and early the next morning, he left more than 1,000 soldiers to guard Daqushan, and the main force of the Zhoushan Water Division went south to attack Zhoushan. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info still looked very cautious this time, and the faster fighting ships opened the way on the left and right to conduct reconnaissance, and the building ships and warships were behind. An hour later, Yu An arrived at the outskirts of Zhoushan, and a soldier brought the latest news.

The water village has been burned down, and under the washing of the waves, the water village has been shattered, and there are only a few remaining planks on the sea surface, which rise and fall with the waves.

Yu An bit his lip, very angry, the water village was his hard work, but he was burned by Tang Jun, which made him extremely sad. These Tang people are too hateful.

The reconnaissance soldiers also brought news that the Tang army had cowered in Zhoushan City, intending to resist stubbornly. Yu An immediately ordered the soldiers to land, his naval division had more than 5,000 people, if the Tang army really only had a dozen warships, it would not be more than 1,000 people. Yu An felt that he had been operating in Zhoushan for many years and had certain connections, and although the soldiers of the Tang Army were enough to defend the city, as long as he ascended to the heights, the people in the city would be able to respond positively.

Wu Yuejun's sailors put down the boat, crossed to the shore, and went ashore in turn, half an hour later, more than 5,000 people gathered on the shore, Yu An counted the soldiers, leaving 1,000 people to guard the boat, and the rest of the soldiers and horses rushed to attack Zhoushan.

Zhoushan County, Yang Lian stood at the head of the city, staring into the distance, faintly, he could see the military flag of Wu Yueguo by the sea, Wu Yuejun is coming, the big war is coming, Zhang Wenji and Zhang Wenchao brothers around him are very nervous.

"Although Wu Yuejun is brave, he was defeated by my men a few years ago, and Bao Xiurang was burned to charcoal, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Yang Lian said lightly, between the words, he was not nervous at all.

Zhang Wenji remembered that Yang Jiedu already had a clever plan, and gradually settled down in his heart, and after glancing at Zhang Wenchao, both of them secretly made up their minds to fight Zhoushan with Yang Jiedu. They must not fall behind Zhang Wenyi and Zhang Wenyi's brothers, you must know that they are already the commanders of Fuzhou, and the two of them are just school captains, and the difference is not a little bit.

Both of them relied on Yang Jiedu to gradually get promoted, and Zhang Wenji and Zhang Wenchao brothers felt that as long as they could make contributions, it would not be difficult to get promoted and make a fortune.

"Yang Jiedu, more than 4,000 people of Wu Yue's army have already rushed towards the county seat!" The spies came to give a report.

Yang Lian nodded, waved his hand to signal him to go down and explore again, and instructed the Zhang brothers: "Wenji, Wen Dynasty, Wu Yuejun are coming, you can act according to the plan." ”

"Whoa!" The two of them responded, went down to the city, and arranged them separately.

Yang Lian stood with his hands in his hands, standing at the head of the city, thinking that Yu An was relying on 4,000 people, and wanted to take Zhoushan County, it was too naïve, he wanted to let Yu An suffer a big loss, so that he could mobilize more Wu Yue soldiers and horses.

After a stick of incense, Wu Yuejun killed under the city, Yu An looked at the city, couldn't help pursing his lips, on the way, he met a few injured merchants, reported to him an incident, Zhoushan was captured by the Tang army, the Tang army burned and looted in the city, and seized the people's food and money.

These people desperately escaped, and only then did they pick up a life.

Yu An was puzzled at first, and then he figured out that the Tang army was alone and must be short of food, so he made this kind of behavior, which provided Yu An with a good opportunity. He hoped that the people in Zhoushan County would fight back and help him seize the county seat.

Yu An lacked siege equipment, but he knew that time was very tight, and after he went south, Shao Keqian's pressure on the Shengsi Islands must be very great, so he had to break through Zhoushan as soon as possible and go north to support Shao Keqian.

It doesn't matter if the siege equipment is insufficient, as long as the people in the city dare to cooperate, Zhoushan County is in the bag. Yu An didn't say much, and immediately asked the soldiers to set up a formation and prepare to attack. He stood on a small dirt bag on relatively high ground, commanding the soldiers.

Yesterday a lot of trees were cut down, originally intended to be used to fill the tidal flats, in order to land on the shore, now there is no need, after a simple transformation, can be used to siege the city, the soldiers were busy for a while, at noon, the three armies ate the cake, began to attack. The drums rumbled, resounding in the sky, and Yu An used this way to tell the people of Zhoushan in the city that Wu Yue's soldiers and horses had returned.

The drum sounded three ways, Yu An waved his hand, Wu Yue's saber and shield soldiers were in front, and the crossbowmen were behind, mixed with soldiers carrying simple ladders, and rushed over.

Yang Lian stood at the head of the city, his eyes were firm, and it was imperative to hold Zhoushan. He waved his hand and asked the crossbowmen to prepare, and when Wu Yuejun entered the firing range, he began to shoot. The sound of footsteps came, and the distance was so close that even Wu Yuejun's wheezing sound could be heard as he ran.

Yang Lian raised his hand and silently calculated the distance, the range of the general infantry bow was about 100 steps, when Wu Yuejun entered the range, he did not immediately order, but waited, the distance is getting closer and closer, and the lethality will be stronger, in order to kill more enemies, Yang Lian chose to wait.

Wu Yuejun also did not shoot, because they fired from the back, and the range was relatively shorter. The sword and shield soldiers in front of them ran desperately, ninety steps, eighty steps, seventy steps, sixty steps!

Yang Lian waved his hand violently and gave the order to attack, the crossbowmen shot arrow feathers one after another, and the sword and shield soldiers of Wu Yuejun hurriedly blocked the wooden shield in front of them, "seize and grab", the arrow feathers were nailed to the wooden shield, making a burst of crisp sounds, and some arrow feathers pierced the shield array, and the unlucky soldiers were shot and fell down screaming.

The casualties of the Wu and Yue troops did not stop them from continuing to advance, and in the interval between the Tang army's shooting, they continued to run wildly, the crossbowmen also began to return fire, and the arrow feathers shuttled over the county town of Zhoushan, and from time to time soldiers fell.

Yu An observed the situation, he found that although the Tang army resisted hard, but there were not many defenders on the city, so the lethality was limited, Yu An was puzzled by this phenomenon, and he guessed that the result was that the Tang army went south in large numbers to capture Wenzhou, otherwise it could not be explained that the Tang army in Zhoushan would be so scarce.

In any case, there are not many Tang troops in Zhoushan, this opportunity is not always available, God has given him the opportunity to recover Zhoushan, and he must grasp it. Just as he was thinking, Wu Yuejun had already used the advantage in numbers to suppress the bows and arrows of the Tang army, and the Tang army's crossbowmen hid behind the female wall most of the time, occasionally poking their heads out to shoot.

Yu An asked the drummer to beat the drum louder, inspiring the soldiers, and the flag bearer also danced the flag vigorously, telling Wu Yueguo's soldiers to step forward bravely.

Wu Yue's army was killed outside the moat, they quickly crossed the moat, set up the ladder on the city wall, and the soldiers struggled to climb up. Wu Yuejun's crossbowmen paused their shooting to avoid killing their own men, and the Tang army was able to emerge from behind the female wall and engage Wu Yuejun in hand-to-hand combat.

The disadvantage of Wu Yuejun is that there are not many ladders, but there are not many soldiers in the Tang army, which just forms a balance, and in the sound of fighting, soon there will be a layer of corpses under the city wall.

Yu An didn't give up and continued to attack, he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity that belonged to him. The two sides fought for another meal, and the opportunity came.

Perhaps the people in the city could not stand the exploitation of the Tang people, so they suddenly attacked and managed to open the city gates, and more than a dozen people killed the city, ready to meet Wu Yue's soldiers. At this time, the Tang army launched an extremely fierce attack, knocking Wu Yuebing's ladder to the ground.

Wu Yuejun's ladder was originally built temporarily, it was not sturdy, and when it fell to the ground, most of it fell apart and could no longer be used.

Yu An saw this scene and quickly issued an order to attack Zhoushan from the city gate, in fact, without waiting for Yu An to give an order, Wu Yuebing was not a fool, and some soldiers had already killed along the city gate. After storming the city gate, Wu Yueguo's morale was greatly boosted, and they fought along the streets, and more than 500 people entered the city and fought hand-to-hand with the Tang army.

Yu An saw that many soldiers had entered the city, and with a wave of his hand, a thousand people pounced again, and the fighting in the city became louder, and Yu An could even see someone trying to cut down the flag of the Tang army. Yu An stroked his beard, this battle looks like there should be no suspense, the Tang army is too small to hold the city at all.

Half of the 1,000 people who supported entered the city, and suddenly, at the head of the city, the Tang army suddenly fell a large amount of grease and reeds, and the torches were thrown down, and the reeds quickly burned, and the fire soared to the sky, and dozens of Wu Yueguo soldiers were engulfed in the fire, screaming.

"Damn it!" Yu An frowned, but the mood was quite relaxed, nearly a thousand people had entered Zhoushan County, judging from the strength of the Tang army in the city, the Tang army was not enough at all, there was no suspense in this battle, the only thing that could not be determined was when he would recover Zhoushan County - of course, there was no problem with recovering today, at least in Yu An's heart, he thought so.

Yu An sent 500 people to extinguish the fire and open the passage into the city as soon as possible, but he soon found that the fire was not easy to extinguish, and to his surprise, the fighting in the city gradually became quieter.

Five hundred people sped up the fire extinguishing, but the Tang army did not pay attention to them, and when the fire was completely extinguished, endless ashes were left on the ground, and the black water flowed into the moat, staining everything black.

What made Wu Yue people even more depressed was that the city gate was closed again, and the sound of fighting was almost inaudible, what was going on? Yu An wanted to stand on tiptoe to observe, but found that no matter how he looked, he couldn't observe the situation in the city.

A trace of uneasiness rose in Yu An's heart, nearly a thousand people entered Zhoushan County, and in less than an hour, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no sound at all, how could he not be surprised? Just when he was wondering, at the head of the city, the Tang army appeared again, and more people appeared, the Tang army straightened the crumbling flag, and a flag bearer of the Tang army danced the flag outside.

"What did they say?" Yu An asked in a deep voice.

The standard-bearer's face was very ugly, and he was a little hesitant, and he didn't dare to say it.

"Just say!" Yu An ordered.

The standard-bearer said in a hurry, Tang Jun was just thanking him, more than 1,000 heads, but a lot of military achievements, Tang Army Commander Yang Lian meant, I hope he will send more soldiers, so that the Tang Army soldiers will have more heads, more military exploits.

Yu An's face was pale, he clenched his fists, at this time, he knew that the commander of the Tang Army that attacked Zhoushan was Yang Lian, the general of the Tang Army who had brought shame to Wu Yueguo, Bao Xiurang was burned alive by him, and Fuzhou also fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Now, will he Yu An follow Bao Xiurang's old path?

No, never! Yu Anxin thought about it, and glanced at the head of Zhoushan City again, there were obviously more Tang troops on the city wall of Zhoushan, so there was only one answer, Yang Lian was showing weakness just now and leading him to be fooled. The city gate was opened, this must be Yang Lian's strategy, Wu Yue's army was eager to recover Zhoushan, at this time, it was impossible to think about it at all, and would only take advantage of the situation to attack the city.

As for those Wu Yue soldiers who attacked the city, why they were annihilated in just one hour, Yu An can't know.

More than 1,000 people were lost for no reason, which was also a great blow to morale, and even if Yu Anzhong was dissatisfied, he knew that he couldn't attack the city. His troops are naval divisions, and attacking fortifications is not what he is good at, and the Tang army in Zhoushan is not many in number, and he still has a chance of winning, but if it exceeds a certain number, it will be difficult to attack the city.

Yu An guessed that the reason why the Tang army was able to quickly gnaw away the Wu Yue soldiers who entered the city should be that Yang Lian had secretly hidden the soldiers and horses, even if the Tang army he saw now was probably just the tip of the iceberg. How much money does the Tang Army have? Three thousand? Five thousand? Seven thousand, or ten thousand?

Yu An guessed these numbers, no matter how many people there were, it would be difficult to capture them with his current strength, even if the Tang army really only had 3,000 people, how could Wu Yue's soldiers of about 4,000 capture Zhoushan? Moreover, the Tang army has a city to rely on and occupies a favorable location, and Yu'an has only one person at most.

Yu An frowned, he had the idea of retreating, at least he had to know how many Tang Army soldiers were guarding Zhoushan before he could make the next plan. Once Yu An decided, he didn't wait long, he quickly led his troops to retreat, leaving only hundreds of people to pack up the corpses.

However, at this time, Yang Lian did not give him a chance, and sent Zhang Wenji to attack and drive these Wu Yue soldiers away. Yang Lian took a look at the city, on the main road, several dark passages were dug, the Tang soldiers entered, did not beware, were shot indiscriminately by the Tang army guarding the roof, and after the chaos of the formation, they fell into the pit, and they could only be captured.

More than 1,000 Tang soldiers were killed in about 300 battles, and the rest were imprisoned by Yang Lian, most of these Wu Yue soldiers were people from Zhoushan, Yang Lian wanted to survive in Zhoushan for a long time, he couldn't kill indiscriminately.

While reorganizing the soldiers and horses, Yang Lian sent people to appease the people in the city, and promised that if anyone in the people's family joined the army, as long as they were persuaded to no longer be enemies of the Tang Dynasty and no longer serve Wu Yueguo, they would be spared death, and when the war was over, Yang Lian would naturally let them go.

Yang Lian's promise has been supported by some people, Wu Yueguo is important, but in the hearts of most people, the family is the biggest, and when there is a conflict of interest between the two, they will naturally choose the most advantageous one.

Yang Lian even allowed them to visit their relatives, and opened the treasury to distribute food to the poor people, and Yang Lian's practices were supported by the people to a certain extent. At this time, Yu An had already settled down at the old site of the water village, and he even lived on the battleship to prevent the Tang army from sneaking up. After all, in his opinion, Yang Lian has always been cunning, and it is too dangerous to be stationed on the shore.

Yu An wrote an excerpt about the attack on Zhoushan County, and asked people to send it to Hangzhou as soon as possible, he believed that the strength of the Tang army should be between 5,000 and 10,000 people, although the strength of the Zhoushan Water Division was strong, but the siege was not the director, and he hoped that King Wu Yue could send more soldiers to cooperate with the naval division to recover Zhoushan as soon as possible.
