On the water, there are now only large and small warships of the Song army left, and the Tang army on the opposite side has all broken and fled.

Although there were some rockets in the Tang army, the Song army used weapons that were ahead of the Tang army, and the Tang army never thought that it was like a child fighting with an adult, and the victory and defeat could be seen at a glance.

At this moment, the Song army took advantage of the victory to pursue, the lake was full of broken ships, broken wooden planks and most of the dead bodies of the Tang army floating, the dead bodies of the Song soldiers, the pungent gunpowder smoke in the air, the smell of blood has not yet drifted away, under the sky in the distance, the fiery red and gold fire clouds of the same color of water and sky and the afterglow of the setting sun shine on the unfinished Shijiu Lake, so everything, it was a war in the past, but now it is a tranquility, it is difficult for people to believe what is happening on the lake today.

On the keel ship of the Song army, Yang Xin, who was dressed in battle armor, stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the surrounding scenery of the water and sky, such a fierce battle made him have some heart palpitations, although he was a military general, but the power of this firearm has been improved by the weapons supervisor, and it has exerted its maximum effectiveness, and now it is as expected by the imperial court, and it has severely defeated the Tang army sailors.

Yang Xin thought of the explosion smoke that had passed, he felt incredible, today he witnessed these firearms, but he also hoped that the enemy could recognize the situation and take advantage of the situation, although the Tang army also had firearms, but they were not as advanced as the Song army, a country with backward weapons and armaments, how could it be against the Song country with advanced weapons and armaments.

Under the twilight of dusk, under the order of Yang Xin, the Song naval army landed from the east of Shijiu Lake, quickly occupied the military camp of the Tang army on the shore of Shijiu Lake, and then began to let the generals reorganize the captured Tang soldiers.

Today, the strength of the Tang naval army in Shijiu Lake, where the important town of Lishui is located, has been reduced by nearly half, and the rest have also surrendered to the Song naval army at dusk. Yang Xin got off the ship, and immediately asked the Song army soldiers to regulate these Tang army generals, and then set up camp to repair the damaged military camp station, the sky has gradually darkened tonight, if you want to attack Lishui, it will be tomorrow, and Yang Xin is also waiting for the battle situation on the eastern front.

At this moment, the scout had already returned to the camp tent and saw Yang Xin standing under the campfire, his armor looking very bright in the firelight.

The scout immediately said: "Yang deployment, this is the battle situation received by the scouts of our army, our army has been found in the lower reaches of the Qinhuai River, and it is estimated that it is ten miles away from Lishui at this moment." ”

Yang Xin heard the scout's recital, and he immediately gestured in sign language to Tian Yunu on the side and the rest of the Great Song Martial Arts students who knew sign language.

Yang Xin gestured, and then Tian Yunu beside him said: "Yang deployment, this is for our army to attack Lishui Town early tomorrow morning." Then he went to summon the other generals to the large tent of the Chinese army stationed to discuss military affairs

In the middle of the night, on the bank of the Qinhuai River, which is eight miles away from Lishui, more than 300 warships of all sizes are docked, and under the night sky, it is pitch black all around, with a trace of warmth in the air, and there is a sound of insects and frogs chirping around, and the warships are anchored and docked on the bank of the river, and there are soldiers patrolling here on the bank.

Not far from the riverbank, large and small temporary camps have been erected, from a distance, sporadic fires around the camp tents lit, a flame of breath, enough to show that this place is the military camp station, and everything that happened here tonight is particularly calm, but in the calm with a little excitement and restlessness.

Especially the tent in the center, so dazzling, this place is the big tent of the Chinese army, at this moment, Li Hanqiong's water army generals, Ding Deyu Ma Bu army generals and Wu Yueguo generals are staying in the military tent, half an hour ago, the scouts have already explored the situation around Lishui clearly, to everyone's pleasure is that today in the southwest side of Lishui Shijiu Lake, there was a fierce battle, and finally Yang Xin led the Song State water division defeated a Tang State of Shenwei water army.

The candle flame in the military tent was beating, and Li Hanqiong, Ding Deyu, Qian Yu, Wu Yongzi and others were excitedly discussing the next battle at this moment.

"Now that Yang has deployed the Tang Army's naval army in Shijiu Lake, so that our army can easily carry out the battle of Lishui in the future." After listening to Wu Yongzi's words, everyone couldn't wait to fight in Lishui tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the morning light was slightly bright, and under the arrangement of last night, the Song army began to bury the pot and cook in the morning, and then prepared everything, Ding Deyu, Qian Yu's Ma Bujun and Li Hanqiong's army were already approaching Lishui step by step.

At this moment, the Lishui Tang State guards located in the upper reaches of the Qinhuai River have discovered everything in the river, although these boats are left by the Tang State Navy, but the flag fluttering on the bow shows that it is the Song Army, most of the Song Army's flags are bright red as the material, and a Song character flag is fluttering in the wind.

Yesterday's defeat at Shijiuhu was like a haze and mist shrouded in the hearts of every soldier of the Tang army defenders, and today it was learned that there was another Song army on the Qinhuai River to besiege Lishui.

"Li Dutong, what should I do, now that the south gate is under the onslaught of the Song army's Yang Xin Division, and now I have another Song army?"

Li Xiong said to the soldier: "For today's plan, defending the city is the most important thing, how many sailors are left in our army?" How many warships? ”

"Back to Dutong, now there are 8,000 sailors and 100 warships, I don't know what to do?"

When Li Xiong heard this, his brows furrowed, but then he said to the general, "First go to the Qinhuai River to block Li Hanqiong's army, and as for the south of the city, mobilize the guards and people in the city to defend the city, I don't believe that they can capture this strong city in a moment and a half." "For defending the city, Li Xiong is the most powerful, and the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty value Li Xiong the most, if it weren't for this, they would not have sent him to defend the city. Since Ma Chengjun was captured by Lin Renzhao,

The soldiers had already taken Li Xiong's order down.

At this moment, on the water surface of the Qinhuai River, in the Tang Army's water village, the Tang Army had already led the army to open the boat, and the Tang Army Naval Army under Li Xiong's command was Du Hua, so he began to order the bow and arrows and crossbowmen on the bow of the ship to start shooting rockets at the Song Army's sailors in the distance, and then let the catapult throw stones, and rushed towards the opponent's fleet in a series of dense ways.

In an instant, the water surface of the Qinhuai River suddenly screamed earth-shattering, the arrows rained, and the stone projectiles thrown by the stone thrower flew from one side to the other, and at first smashed into several small boats of the Song army, and the masts of the Song army's small boats in front of them were all broken, because the ships could not retreat, and the soldiers on the boat were immediately shot down into the river by the huge waves.

Fortunately, the Song soldiers also had some water before training, so as not to be ridiculed as landlubbers, and the temperature of the river in May was not cold, so Li Hanqiong ordered people to throw ropes from the boat and throw them into the river.

Li Hanqiong didn't expect the Tang Army's will to fight so strong, he knew that it was Li Xiong who was defending the city, but Li Xiong was like this, which also made Li Hanqiong look at him a few times.

Li Hanqiong did not panic, as the general of the naval army transferred from Cao Bin on the Western Front to aid the Eastern Front, Li Hanqiong knew that this battle was not easy to fight, Li Xiong was good at defending the city, but he was confident that Lishui would become a trophy of the Song army.

In Li Hanqiong's ears, the Qinhuai River was roaring, and the waves were constantly lapping the hulls and bows of the two armies.

Li An asked, "Commander Li, the enemy is so crazy, should we use the sharp weapons on the ship?" ”

Li Hanqiong knew that the equipment in the hull and cabin of the ship was a weapon developed by the Great Song Dynasty Weapons Supervisor, also called a firearm, but now there are only ten vehicles, Li Hanqiong is not worried that these sharp weapons are only ten vehicles, his purpose is to wait for the other party's rockets to run out, and then order to approach the Tang Army's ships.

Li Hanqiong said to the cronies and generals beside him: "Retreat back according to the original plan, and after retreating for four or five miles, they will start to turn the bow of the ship. ”

Li Hanqiong let the flag commander at the bow of the ship wave the flag in the next moment, and under Li Hanqiong's order, the general of the Song army commanded the warship, and was retreating in an orderly manner, while retreating, let the crossbowmen shoot the arrows that ignited the fire, and let the soldiers start to act according to the original plan.

When the Tang army on the other side saw the Song army retreating, they thought that the Song army was invincible to their own army, and retreated cowardly. Everyone was overjoyed, so they began to drive the battleship, chasing the enemy, and immediately ordered his large and small warships to take advantage of the situation of the river to go towards the Song naval army opposite.

Li Hanqiong saw that the other party was chasing, and the generals in the Song army also saw this, so they continued to retreat according to the original plan.

The water was not too calm, but the mountains on both sides of the river were undulating and steep, and they almost quickly skimmed away in the sight of the Song army.

In Li Hanqiong's eyes, the front was already at the designated place, and when he retreated to the designated position, the flag commander on the battleship had already raised the flag in his hand and waved it. The order had changed, and in an instant, the ships of the Song army began to turn sideways and turn around.

The splash on the surface of the water shook rapidly, and the waves crashed against the hull of the ship, making everyone on board feel dizzy. The Song army had stopped swinging in front of it, and turned around the direction, and the sudden change made the Tang army a little unexpected, this time, because his own navy was chasing fast, and it was smooth water, he felt that he was about to hit the opponent's hull a little faster.

Tang Jun was unexpected, and began to ask his subordinates to start rowing.

Seeing this, Li Hanqiong immediately asked the soldiers on the ship to take out the shooting rod, and then Li Hanqiong picked up the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, estimated the distance, and immediately ordered the hull equipped with artillery to form a barrier on the water, and then began to fire artillery fire.

"One, two, three, put-" In the cabin, the soldiers of the Song Army operated the artillery, just like yesterday, the rumbling sound came and went, the water shook violently, the waves covered the hull of the ship, splashing everywhere, and the Tang Army ships that were hit by the artillery also collapsed into a hole in an instant.

It was the first time that the Tang army and navy had seen such a powerful weapon, and they were frightened by the deafening sound of artillery fire far beyond the rockets, and some soldiers could no longer hear the sounds around them as soon as they regained their composure.

Li Hanqiong also controlled the artillery on the ships of the navy, and he was afraid that he would use them all at once, so he did not use them all at once, and then he ordered the soldiers on the other Song ships to start using trebuchets, bows, crossbows, rockets, etc.

The densely intersecting firepower stretched like a locust, devouring the lives of the soldiers of the opposing Tang Army.

Those who tried to get close to the Song army's ships and tried in vain to solve everything with fierce fire oil were also blocked by the Song army with a slap rod for a distance.

The nature of the war was also revealed in an instant, and in order to survive, the Tang army could do anything, and in the end they surrendered.

The sound of the waves of the Qinhuai River in the vicinity is still the same, but the rest are stumps and broken bodies, and the body is incomplete. The Song army also lost a total of thirty or forty large and small warships this time, and in the end, Li Hanqiong defeated this naval army.

Li Hanqiong then ordered the Song army to go upstream, cooperating with the other two Song troops at the East City Gate and the South City Gate.

At the same time, Ding Deyu, Qian Yujun and Yang Xinjun of the East City Gate and South City Gate were also storming the two roads.

Two hours after noon, Li Xiong at the North City Gate suddenly saw the other party's mountain-sized warships going up against the water, showing off their might in the sun, and when the distance was closer, he realized that it was not his own navy, but the Song army.

The red and fiery red Songzi naval army banner came into Li Xiong's eyes, and Li Xiong's chest was full of anger at the moment, and he was angry, and a mouthful of red blood spurted out when he couldn't get up in one breath.

"Dutong-" The soldiers beside him rushed up and gathered around Li Xiong.

"Don't take care of me, stick to the city for now, remember not to go out of the city gate at will, otherwise you will fall into the conspiracy of the Song army." Li Xiong already understood why the Song army was retreating, it turned out that all this was a conspiracy, and it was ridiculous that he had actually fallen for it.

The generals understood Li Xiong's concerns, and a few people just summoned the military doctor to the city to help diagnose his body routinely.

At this moment, the generals at the head of the city suddenly felt the sound of soldiers in the distance, and when they raised there, they found that the direction was the east city gate, could it be that the Song army was going to attack the city?

Li Xiong asked the generals on the side to help him get up, and then he called a soldier to check the situation at the East City Gate, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be something going on.

The military service has been ordered, turn around and leave the north gate.

Soon after, the military service told Li Xiong about the situation.

Li Xiong didn't see anything boring, because at this moment, not far from the North City Gate, Li Hanqiong's army had begun to clear the obstacles of the rest of the Tang Army's water divisions, broke through the Tang Army's water village on the Qinhuai River, and landed on the bank of the Qinhuai River at this moment.

Li Hanqiong did not land immediately, the vast majority of their army were naval troops, and the number was only 13,000 left, and the rest were captured by the Tang army.

"Is that a coffin?" Li Xiong asked the scout to probe again, it was still a coffin, he didn't know what conspiracy the Song army was engaged in, he thought that it might be used to boost the morale of the army like the overlord of Chu breaking the kettle.

Li Xiong pondered and meditated, and finally thought that his nerves were tense, he stroked his beard and smiled: "This Li Hanqiong is a little interesting, but I'm not Zhang Han?" ”

A general said: "Dutong is naturally not Zhang Han, and Li Hanqiong is not the overlord of Chu." ”

"That's a good thing you said." Li Xiongshi felt a little relieved in his heart, "But it will be dark in a while, so you must stick to this city tonight no matter what, and remember to take it lightly." ”

"Yes, remember all the commands."
