Yang Zhaoru sighed, "We only have more than 400 people left, our families are panicking, and their morale is low, once the enemy takes advantage of the victory, how much chance will we have?" ”

'Dangchang! The long sword fell to the ground, and Du Heixin turned around and yelled at his own soldiers: "Get out of here!" ”

Several pro-soldiers were so frightened that they crawled out with their belts, and Du Heixin let out a long sigh, "There are so many things that upset me, I don't even know what to do now." ”

Yang Zhaoru said worriedly: "It has been two days since the news of the defeat came, and the owner of the village has always been in a state of emotional anger, and he has not calmed down to summarize the reasons for the defeat, nor has he appeased the emotions of the soldiers and their families in time, let alone how to deal with the upcoming challenges, so he has lost his temper and killed people endlessly, the owner of the village, this can't solve the problem!" ”

"I see! Don't say any more. ”

Du Heixin roared a little annoyed, "What's the point of saying these complaining words, I'm asking you what to do now?" ”

"If the owner of the village is willing to listen to my advice, pack up his things and evacuate Junshan now, and temporarily avoid the enemy's edge......."

"You want me to go!"

Du Hei was stunned, and he suddenly said urgently: "This is the foundation that I have been operating for more than ten years, if I leave, the enemy will burn it down, so what else do I have?" ”

"The owner of the village, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as our ship is in the people, we can make a comeback, if the boat is gone, the people are gone, then we are really finished."

Du Heixin paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands in his hands, he was obviously not persuaded by Yang Zhaoru, and there was still a trace of luck in his heart, "We only suffered heavy losses when we were ambushed by the enemy, if we really fought the river, we might not lose." ”

Yang Zhaoru was also anxious, "I also know that they have not been established for a long time, and their combat effectiveness on the water is still relatively weak, but they have Zhang Shun's assistance, and our morale is low, if we really fight, we are afraid that we will lose more and win less!" ”

"Humph! Zhang Shun, that bastard, actually helped the officers and soldiers target me, and I will peel him sooner or later. ”

After a pause, Du Heixin asked again: "Who is Li Yanqing, the commander of Jiayu County?" Have you ever heard? ”

"I asked some people about it, as if this person was the imperial history of the imperial court before, and he was deposed to Jiayu County for committing crimes."

"What is a royal history, has he ever fought?" Du Heixin asked dissatisfiedly.

"This is not very clear, it seems that he can do some martial arts, riding and shooting, and he doesn't know much about anything else, and the owner of the village also knows that our news is relatively closed, so we can only inquire about some information from Baling County, but there is not much news in Baling County, and I can't inquire about his situation."

Du Hei thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter who he is, the key is to be prepared, once we can't beat it, we will evacuate in time!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a personal soldier ran to the hall and shouted: "Master Qiyu, there are fireworks burning on the other side of the river!" ”

Du Heixin was taken aback, he quickly ran to the top of the building, stood upstairs and looked in the direction of the Jiangkou, the so-called Jiangkou is the junction of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, about 30 miles away from their old nest, Du Heixin built a beacon tower over there, at this time, I saw the smoke billowing on the beacon tower, and the black smoke went straight to the sky.

"Owner of the village, this should be the warship of Jiayu County!"

Du Heixin shouted loudly: "Pass my order, the whole army will board the ship and prepare to face the battle!" ”

'When! While! While! The alarm bell on the island sounded, and hundreds of thieves rushed out of the barracks and ran towards the dock at the foot of the mountain.

The Blackheart Dragon King had a total of nearly 1,000 subordinates, 550 of whom had been wiped out before, and now there were more than 400 people left, and they were divided into more than 20 large and small ships, divided into two teams to prepare to meet the advance of the officers and soldiers.

Du Heixin wore a double leather armor, wore a gold crown, and boarded his thousand-stone ship with a big knife in his hand, his big ship is also a twelve-car car, it is the fastest warship in Dongting Lake, extremely strong, there are more than 50 people on board, as Du Heixin boarded the ship, a huge black dragon flag fell from the mast, this is the symbol of his black-hearted dragon king.

Du Heixin led thirteen ships, and his second son, Du Yang, led another ten ships, most of which were medium-sized ships, each equipped with twenty water thieves.

Du Heixin waved his big sword, "Fight!" ”

'Woo-' a low horn sounded, and more than twenty warships slowly left the dock and headed northeast.

.........

The thirty warships led by Li Yanqing also crossed the estuary and entered the Dongting Lake, which was sparkling and vast and had a radius of thousands of miles, but the Junshan Mountain, where the black-hearted dragon king was entrenched, was not too far away, only more than thirty miles away from the estuary.

In addition to the thirty warships of the officers and soldiers, there are also ten clippers led by Zhang Shun, and today Zhang Shun will fulfill his promise to Li Yanqing and assist him in exterminating the Black-Hearted Dragon King.

Li Yanqing put on a suit of armor, stood on the bow of the thousand-stone ship with a bow and arrows in his hand, and looked coldly at the undulating waves in the distance.

Behind Li Yanqing stood Hu Qing'er, who was wearing a shark skin tight-fitting water back, with a whip blade around her waist, two sharp water spines on her calf, and eight flying knives on her back, she would be Li Yanqing's surprise soldier today.

The way to win or lose the war is to avoid the shortcomings and promote the strengths, avoid their weaknesses and give full play to their strengths, the weaknesses of the Ezhou Navy are very obvious, lack of training, and lack of tacit understanding, after all, they have only been established for ten days, and the strength of the Ezhou Navy is the weapon, they are not only well-equipped, Li Yanqing also specially built an extremely powerful firearm - Earthquake Thunder.

At this moment, the lookout soldier from the mast pointed ahead and shouted: "The enemy warship has appeared!" ”

Li Yanqing immediately shouted: "Alert!" ”

Several rockets took off in the bow of the ship, and in the air 'snap!' Then all the warships shot an arrow into the sky, and the sky kept sending out 'Bang! Syllable! 'The sound of the explosion.

Soon, a black line appeared on the lake in the distance, and the warships of the Black-Hearted Dragon King appeared, there were not many warships, although the Black-Hearted Dragon King claimed to have five hundred warships, but Li Yanqing only saw more than twenty warships, which was also a manifestation of the Black-Hearted Dragon King's lack of strength, and their remaining soldiers could not support too many warships.

At this time, Hu Qing'er said in a deep voice: "Big brother, I'm leaving!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Be careful yourself!" ”

Hu Qing'er set off with two small boats and eight subordinates, each of whom was wearing the same tight-fitting water cushion as her, and the weapons were two water spikes, they were the elite selected from the five hundred water army, with superb water nature and strong underwater fighting ability, but their real lethal weapons were two earth-shattering thunders.

The two earth-shaking thunderbolts are wrapped in oiled paper, each fixed in a three-foot-long and wide wooden box, of course, the wooden box has a waterproof design, and there are several layers of oiled paper inside, and the plate is full of leads, once it enters the water or is destroyed by the enemy, the sky-shaking thunder loses its effect.

The two wooden boxes were placed on the small boat, and the two small boats sailed like arrows towards the enemy's main ship, the thousand-stone chariot ship of the Black-Hearted Dragon King, and at this time, Zhang Shun's fast boat also sailed out, far behind the two small boats.

"Owner of the village, there is an enemy clipper approaching!" A river thief shouted at the bow of the ship.

Du Heixin said coldly: "Order the left and right escort boats to sink them for me!" ”

The command flag waved, and two medium-sized warships of 300 stone on the left and right sailed in, and slammed straight into the two oncoming boats.

........

Yang Zhaoru did not participate in the war, he was in charge of sitting in Dazhai, and there were dozens of soldiers in Dazhai, who guarded all the key parts of Dazhai, including warehouses and military camps.

Yang Zhaoru was tidying up in his room with two personal soldiers, and he knew in his heart that this water battle was a black dragon king, and once the situation was not good, he would immediately hide in a small boat into the depths of Dongting Lake.

At this time, a personal soldier reported at the door: "Military advisor, there is an old man who asks to see, and he said that he knows the details of Jiayu County's order. ”

Yang Zhaoru nodded, "Let him in!" ”

I saw a trembling, bloated white-haired old man walking into the room with a cane, and he would not be able to stand up and fall down at any time, Yang Zhaoru hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Uncle, slow down!" ”

The white-haired old man sat down and began to cough, coughing heartbreakingly, as if he was going to die, Yang Zhaoru frowned, who is this? I've never seen such an old guy.

"Uncle, do you think you know Li Yanqing's details?"

The white-haired old man took a few breaths and said, "My eldest son is doing business in the capital, and he wrote me a letter mentioning this Li Yanqing. ”

"Who is this Li Yanqing?"

"Huh! He participated in the Western Xia War, followed the seed master road to go out, was the right-hand man of the seed master road, and later followed the seed master road to exterminate the Liangshan army, crisscrossing Hebei, defeating tens of thousands of Liangshan army, and was named the history of the emperor because of his merits. ”

Yang Zhaoru was taken aback, "It turns out that he is not a civil official?" ”

The white-haired old man trembled again and said, "There is another big secret I want to tell the military advisor, please let the left and right step back." ”

Yang Zhaoru said to the two pro-soldiers: "You guys retreat first!" ”

The two pro-soldiers got up and exited the room, and the white-haired old man beckoned to Yang Zhaoru and said a few words in a low voice.

"Uncle, you say it again."

Yang Zhaoru didn't hear clearly, and stretched his neck even more, and at this time, a sharp dagger suddenly appeared in the old man's hand, grabbed Yang Zhaoru's hair, and the sharp dagger was ruthless in his neck, and he actually cut off Yang Zhaoru's head alive.

The old man smiled coldly, "I mean, I'm not really old. ”
