After discussing with Lin Renzhao, both of them agreed that Zhou Zong was going to grab credit, but the city of Hangzhou was not as strong as Suzhou, and Zhou Zong couldn't take Suzhou, so how could he take Hangzhou?

Zhou Zong's attack on Hangzhou was a good thing for Yang Lian, at least he could contain Qian Hongyu's attention a lot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoLet Yang Lian concentrate on the affairs of the water master. After almost all the preparations, the weather cleared, the sky was cloudless, and the wind was very light, which was suitable for the use of soldiers.

When Yang Lian decided to enter the army, Zhou Zong had slaughtered nearly 10,000 people, and the people who were killed every day were between 500 and 1,000.

Under the orders of Qian Hongyu, the Wu Yue army strictly guarded the city and did not engage the Tang army. In this situation, Yang Lian waved his division north, except for a small number of warships left behind in Yuezhou, the other warships went north together and marched along Hangzhou Bay.

Shao Keqian got the news, and while preparing for battle, he sent someone to inform King Wu Yue. After Qian Hongyu got the news, he urgently summoned his subordinates, Wu Cheng, Yuan Dezhao, Wu Yanfu and others all paid attention to the fact that the Tang Army's naval division was attacking, intending to control the Qiantang River, if they controlled the Qiantang River, Hangzhou would really become an isolated city.

For this reason, Qian Hongyu decided to send troops to fight with Yang Lian, because at this time, Wu Yue's army had no way to retreat. Wu Cheng asked for his life and was willing to lead the troops to fight, Qian Hongyu thought about it and decided on this request. Wu Cheng has led troops for many years, and he is capable of both land and water, and with him, Qian Hongyu is a little more at ease.

Wu Cheng was ordered and immediately left the palace and rushed to the camp of the water division. At this time, Hangzhou consisted of two parts, Qianjiang County in the south and Qiantang County in the north. This sailor camp is in Qianjiang County. Wu Cheng hurriedly prepared and rushed to the camp of the sailor with more than fifty family members. At this time, Shao Keqian, the commander of the sailor division, was commanding the soldiers.

The Qiantang River in Hangzhou has been extremely wide, enough for large warships, especially now that the weather is getting warmer, the rainy season is gradually coming, and the water flow is more turbulent, so Shao Keqian decided to use large warships.

"Wu Shangshu, why are you here?" Shao Keqian saw Wu Cheng and asked.

Wu Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Now the situation is critical, if the sailor fails, Hangzhou City will be besieged, this battle, you can't be sloppy." ”

Shao Keqian's expression was solemn, and he nodded: "Wu Shangshu, the Tang Army's sailors are menacing, and they must not be underestimated. ”

"Are you sure?" Wu Cheng asked.

Shao Keqian shook his head, Tang Jun was cunning, he was not completely sure. Wu Cheng also knew that the war was ever-changing, and he couldn't speculate on it normally, so he didn't ask any more questions. It took an hour for the Wu Yue Army Naval Division to finally complete the preparations, and fifty warships blocked the mouth of the Qiantang River.

Tang Jun, Yang Lianzhuo stood on the battleship, looked into the distance, after entering Hangzhou Bay, the river became narrower and narrower, but it could still be used for the battleship.

"Report!" The heralds hurried.

Yang Lian turned sideways, looked at him, and to: "But Wu Yuejun attacked?" ”

"Qi Yang Jiedu, Wu Yuejun dispatched warships to block the river, and the number was more than forty." The herald said.

"Probe!" Yang Lian said.

"Whoa!" The soldier turned and hurried away.

The number of warships that Wu Yuejun can dispatch Yang Lian knows in his heart, fifty warships are not much, it stands to reason that Wu Yuejun should still have more than 20 warships that have not been dispatched, Yang Lian secretly has a sense of vigilance at the moment, although this is the case, but the attack is still to be attacked, he immediately ordered the sailor to drive towards the Qiantang River.

At the bend of the lower reaches of the Qiantang River, there is a village called Xiasha Village, where there is a natural port, which is conducive to the anchorage of warships, Shao Keqian sent troops to garrison here to prevent the Tang Army's naval division from continuing to go deeper, and the two sides met here. Without too many words, Yang Lian immediately ordered to storm the enemy battleship.

The Tang army's warships were sturdy and conducive to close combat, and Yang Lian took advantage of this advantage to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Lin Renzhao commanded the troops to attack, and twelve battleships rushed away. Wu Yuejun had already prepared, the slap rod was ready to go, and the crossbowmen were also ready, with transparent swim bladders wrapped around their eyes to prevent the Tang army from using lime.

"The Tang Army is coming, shoot arrows quickly!" One of the heads shouted.

Wu Yuebing shot a rain of arrows, Tang saber and shield soldiers blocked forward, the two sides first used bows and arrows to fight, as the distance continued to approach, some soldiers took out the iron claws, danced in the air, and threw towards the Tang battleship, the iron hook firmly grasped the ship, Wu Yuejun pulled hard, ready to fight hand-to-hand, and captured the Tang army's battleship.

"Quicken, rush!" Lin Renzhao stood on the bow of the boat and shouted loudly.

The helmsman got the order, accelerated forward, the sails were also opened, the speed of the battleship increased sharply, and rushed forward, some of the helmsmen desperately reversed the battleship, wanting to charge forward, Shao Keqian stood in the distance, saw the Tang army so desperate, knew that they wanted to take advantage of the southeast wind, take advantage of the wind to attack, and crash Wu Yuejun's battleship.

Shao Keqian understood that although the number of his warships was not expensive, many of them were transformed from merchant ships, and because of the lack of time, some of the warships were not qualified, and if they were hedged against the Tang army, Wu Yue's army would most likely suffer. He immediately gave the order to disperse and approach the Don army from the flank.

In order to effectively control the Tang warships, the iron claws were thrown out one after another, so that the Tang warships could not be reversed, and they could not be directly impacted. The Tang soldiers also adjusted, and the soldiers took out their long knives and struggled to cut the ropes on the iron claws to get rid of Wu Yuejun's control.

In the melee, a Tang battleship got out of control and hit the flank of Wu Yuejun's battleship with great accuracy, "Boom! With a loud bang, the sharp ramming angle of the Tang battleship was like a sharp long knife, like cutting tofu, and it suddenly knocked the Wu Yue battleship into a hole.

"Be careful!" The soldiers of Wu Yue Army shouted, the battleship was shaking violently, the soldiers were unsteady on their feet, they fell down one after another, and only a few of them held on to things, and only then did they escape. The Tang warships continued to attack, the slap rods were shot out again and again, the wood flew sideways, the Tang crossbowmen continued to shoot arrow feathers, and the losses of the Wu Yue army were not small.

Other warships rushed to help, wanting to encircle and suppress this Tang warship, as a result, the pressure on other warships was greatly reduced, and Lin Renzhao seized the opportunity and immediately ordered a charge.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!!"

The Tang warships kept crashing into the Wu Yue warships, making loud noises, Shao Keqian stood in the distance, his face changed, why did the Tang army's battleships have such a strong impact? Even if these warships were converted from merchant ships, they wouldn't be so vulnerable.

The battle was still going on, and Wu Yueshui was like a balloon, being punctured one by one. The battle lasted for an hour, and there was not much left of the naval division that Wu Yue's army was facing.

Wu Cheng, who was watching the battle, glanced at Shao Keqian with a big change in his face, and said, "Commander Shao, there are more and more Tang troops, this can't be done." ”

Shao Keqian pursed his lips and said, "The Tang army is too fierce, so it's better to retreat first." ”

Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "Commander Shao, the Tang Army's sailors are violent, if they retreat, I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to cover up." ”

"What I want is for them to take advantage of the situation and kill them." Shao Keqian snorted coldly and gave an order decisively.

Wu Cheng didn't quite understand, but seeing Shao Keqian's confident appearance, he agreed. The battleship quickly left, Wu Yuejun chose to retreat, and the remaining battleships also chose to retreat when they saw the main ship retreating. The retreat of Wu Yuejun looked a little chaotic, and Lin Renzhao chose to pursue.

Yang Lian watched from a distance and agreed with Lin Renzhao's judgment that Lin Renzhao did not have many warships, so Yang Lian immediately ordered to follow in case Lin Renzhao was counter-killed. The army fought towards the depths of the Qiantang River, and after crossing Xiasha Village, the Qiantang River gradually became narrower. The reeds around him gradually increased.

In Hangzhou Bay, there are many tidal flats, which gives the environment for the reeds to grow, Yang Lian waved his hand and called the soldiers.

"Where did Lin Renzhao chase you?" Yang Lian asked.

"It's three miles away." The soldier replied.

Yang Lian turned his head to look at the banks of the Qiantang River, and felt very bad, could it be that Wu Yuejun wanted to use fire to attack?

"Tell Lin Renzhao quickly, walk along the middle of the Qiantang River, and definitely not get close to the sides!" Yang Lian ordered.

"Whoa!" The soldiers left in a hurry, and soon came to the side of the flag bearer, and the battleship exchanged information, relying on the flag language. The standard-bearer received the order and quickly spread the word.

The standard-bearer in front saw it and gradually passed the news on.

When Lin Renzhao got the news, he didn't frown, in fact, he had already seen the reeds on the tidal flats, the weather in the south was warmer, and the reeds had already grown at this time, about one person was more than one person tall, green, and the stems and leaves were not very dense.

Lin Renzhao knew that Yang Lian's order was to prevent Wu Yue's army from attacking, but at this time, the reeds had just sprouted, and the stems and leaves contained a lot of water, which was not easy to burn, so Lin Renzhao chose to pursue. After receiving Yang Lian's reminder, Lin Renzhao was more careful, the warships were sailing in the middle of the Qiantang River, and there was a distance away from the reeds, even if Wu Yue's sailors ran towards the reeds, he didn't care about him.

Although the battleship is tall, the reed is propagated by the rhizome in the ground, and if it is entangled, it will be difficult to navigate. Besides, if Wu Yue's army entered the reeds with more warships, Lin Renzhao would not mind using fire to attack and burn them.

After chasing out two or three miles, it has reached the north of Xiaoshan, in the Qiantang River, and even the Hangzhou city wall in the distance can be seen. Wu Yue's sailors frantically rushed towards the upper reaches of the Qiantang River, and even when they passed through the naval army, they did not go in, and fled westward directly.

Lin Renzhao chose to pursue, and when Yang Lian passed by, he looked at the sailor camp in Hangzhou and stopped. There should be more than 30 warships in the Hangzhou Navy Battalion, and this number should not be underestimated. Yang Lian, with the main force, stopped outside the water village.

"If the Hangzhou Water Village is captured, Shao Keqian's sailors will have no place to anchor and lack defense." Yang Lian pointed to Hangzhou Water Village and said.

Zhu Qi, who was standing beside him, nodded thoughtfully, hugged his fists, and said, "Yang Jiedu, let Hangzhou Water Village be captured by the end of the day!" (To be continued.) )
