Chapter 905: Decisive Battle 2

On the originally calm lake, a white sail shadow suddenly appeared, and the sail shadow slowly became larger, and finally turned into a huge building ship. Behind it and on both sides, large ships appeared one after another, and in an instant the entire southern lake was filled.

Seeing the appearance of the Jieyi Army's sailors, Yan Mingfeng, who had already arrived at the agreed place, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since the invitation to fight has been agreed, he naturally doesn't want any more accidents, especially because he is very worried about what tricks the sailors of the Jieyi Army will play again. But seeing that the other party had appeared, the other thoughts in his heart suddenly suppressed.

At this moment, for Yan Mingfeng, except for the battle with the Jieyi Army Sailor on the opposite side, everything else is already secondary. If you can win, everything else will be easy to say. Whether it is to properly organize and rectify these water bandits, or to establish the position of Qi army in the central waters of Taihu Lake, it is not a difficult problem. However, if it fails, the other ...... Will there be others? I'm afraid that it was not me who thought about these problems at that time, but the general of the Jieyi Army on the other side.

In fact, at this moment, Hu Le's heart is the same as Yan Mingfeng, and he is also worried that the other party will not come. After all, he wanted to catch the other party. If the other party does not come, or only part of it comes, then it will not be possible to take down all of them.

Hu Le and Yan Mingfeng did not have any communication, the two sides of the warship arrived, I don't know who took the lead in issuing the order to attack, and in an instant, the two sides were mixed together. Because it was a decisive battle, Yan Mingfeng was worried about what hole cards the Jieyi Army had, so it could be said that all the warships that could fight were called. In terms of the number of warships alone, the warships of the Sailors of the Jieyi Army are indeed not as skilled as the other party.

However, both Hu Le and Yan Mingfeng found that although there were many people in the Qi army, they could not cooperate well with each other at all, and it could be said that they were really fighting on their own. It is precisely because of this that the disadvantaged Sailing Army sailors are on par with the battle. Otherwise, the current strength and warship superiority of the naval division of the Qi army, the Jieyi army is indeed inferior to the other party.

In addition, Hu Le also found that in the eastern and southern areas of the warship, the Qi army also began to release clippers, which seemed to be inquiring for news. Hu Le understood that this was because the other party was investigating whether he was in ambush, and he was worried that he was playing tricks in the big war. However, when the army arrived, I was afraid that the two sides were already fighting together, and it was impossible to evacuate.

The flagships of Hu Le and Yan Mingfeng were divided into troops and became the targets of attack and escort by the warships of both sides, especially Hu Le's warships, which bore the brunt of the attack. Because the strength of the sailors of the Jieyi army was weaker than that of the opponent, the pressure received was greater than that of the opponent. In addition, for the three-way water bandits under the jurisdiction of the Qi Army's naval division, winning the opponent's commander and flagship is the greatest achievement. As a result, the three bandits all targeted Hu Le's flagship and neglected to cooperate with the overall situation.

As a result, Hu Le didn't expect to become the target of the opponent's sailors, so even under the escort of the warships under his command, he had to evade. The flagship moved, and the large and small warships below also moved. Coupled with the indiscriminate actions of the Qi army's sailors, the warships of the Qi army and the Jieyi army were suddenly mixed together. Even Hu Le was a little stunned by this situation. If it weren't for the fact that he still had reinforcements in hand, he was afraid that he would be sober from such a scuffle, and he would be ready to withdraw his troops. After all, in this case, Hu Le could no longer control the situation of the warship well. Of course, now that Hu Le has a backhand, he naturally doesn't worry about this. The more fierce the melee of the Qi army's sailors, the more they will be unable to get out when the army attacks.

When Hu Le, escorted by several warships, he dodged the fierce collision of more than ten water bandit warships, and reappeared in the main formation, only to see that on the sea, the warships under his command and the warships of various water bandits of the Qi army had been entangled with each other and fought together. The warships of both sides attacked each other, and the battle raged in full swing. The battle was still very fierce with crossbow arrows and boulders against each other, and the shipwreck and death were only a matter of moments. Nowadays, not only the sailors of the Jieyi Army have a boat, but also the three-way water bandits on the opposite side. These bandits have been crisscrossing this place for many years, and they are not without the ability to build warships.

In the past, Dayan was here, but there was a simple lake patrol division. There is no shortage of craftsmen or anything. Since the bandits are crisscrossing the water, how can they not know the importance of building warships.

"Let it go...... Shoot the arrows! Launch! On Hu Le's flagship, Xu Wenle yelled excitedly and ordered the soldiers to launch a counterattack. The crossbow arrows whistling by him did not give him the slightest fear at all.

Hu Le's car is a four-story building ship, which is considered an old cargo. However, in the fleet, he is still a giant. It was equipped with four crossbows and two trebuchets, covered in thick cowhides, so that they were not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows, and there were at least two hundred heavily armed soldiers armed with shields, spears, and strong bows to deal with all kinds of attacks.

Some of the Qi army's walkers and ships tried to besiege and intercept the ship, but they were all shot down by the soldiers on it with strong bows and crossbows. Even some of the boats that tried to block their path were smashed to pieces by the catapults placed on them.

Seeing the main ship of the Jieyi Army's sailor division that was cleaning up the waterway ahead and converging with the other warships as soon as possible, Yan Mingfeng immediately ordered the warships under his command to lean towards the position where the other party was. And the warships under Hu Le's command also headed towards the fleet of the Qi army's sailors. In order to force the other side's interceptor boat away, the two sides began to use various means, such as strong bows and crossbows, long-term sharpness, and boulders thrown from time to time, which made the battle situation even more chaotic. Coupled with countless fighting ships, boats, ships, and yachts, the lake was full of bullets and bullets, and even if their ships were attacked, they did not know who was attacking them, and even, they did not know whether the attack was coming from the enemy or from their own side.

However, whether it was the sailor of the Jieyi Army or the sailor warship of the Qi Army, they couldn't care about anything else at the moment. So they fought back with the nearest ship, and the more lively and fierce the fight became, and in the end no one could move forward, but the death toll was increasing rapidly. Even at this moment, Hu Le and Yan Mingfeng, as well as the leaders of the various water bandits, did not expect that as soon as the war started, the situation would become a melee.

However, Hu Le didn't care at the moment, or rather, he couldn't effectively adjust anything. Countless crossbow arrows and boulders continued to fall between the two sides, causing dense splashes on the surface of the lake, especially those boulders, each boulder fell, and a huge column of water rose on the surface of the lake, and then the water column was blown away by the wind and turned into pieces of mist, completely shrouding some of the warships in a haze.

"I wonder how long it will take for the army to arrive?" Looking at the chaotic situation, Hu Le couldn't help but worry for a while. In other words, although he has been in the Jieyi Army for a long time, he has also learned a lot of military knowledge about the regular army operations with the officers sent by the Zhao army. However, he had never participated in such a large all-out war. Even the last time the Jie Yi Army used bait to lure the two major bandits in the eastern waters. But those water bandits did not dispatch all their troops, let alone all the warships, nor were they organized like the Qi army.

......Suddenly, a boulder flew out of the ship, drawing a long arc in the sky, and then landed next to him. Next to the ship, a warship of the Sailors of the Jieyi Army could not dodge, and was smashed by a boulder, and the more than ten soldiers on the ship were naturally smashed to the bones, and the whole ship was broken from the middle on the spot, and under the surging waves, the ships and people disappeared quickly. Boulders pierce the boat and crash into the lake, rising and tumbling waves. Engulfing the broken ships all, in a moment, only a huge whirlpool remained on the surface of the lake, on which only a few scattered pieces of wood chips floated.

Seeing such a scene, the soldiers on the building boat couldn't help but secretly rejoice, glad that they were on the building boat at the moment, not that kind of small boat. Otherwise, they are likely to end up like that.

"Boom ......" God doesn't seem to give these soldiers face, just when they sighed for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, secretly rejoicing, a huge stone also fell on the ship, the stone rubbed the other half of the side of the boat and flew into the lake, the splashed water column hit the deck like a cannonball, the two sailors on the deck were caught off guard, and were washed down by the water column on the spot, one rolled on the deck, and did not catch the place where he started, so he fell directly from the side of the ship into the lake, smashing up a string of blood-red waves. The other was lucky enough to grab the cable, and luckily stood up, frightened, and did not know where a crossbow bolt flew from nowhere. It just happened to hit him in the chest, and he screamed and tumbled and fell into the lake.

"Chirp ......" Suddenly, the same building ship braved the rain of arrows, crossbow arrows and boulders to suddenly kill from the side, they didn't care about the attacks that kept falling into the ship, and the target was directly at Hu Le's car. As soon as he arrived next to Hu Lelou's boat, the four large bows and crossbows on the ship were all reoriented, and they were all facing Hu Le's ship. The rain of arrows fell overwhelmingly, but did not hit the target, it turned out that a boulder flew out of nowhere, smashed behind the Qi Junlou boat, so that the lake has begun to stir, when the crossbow arrow was aimed, it was just supported by the water waves, a little higher, when the waves came down, the crossbow arrow was just shot, so it was shot low.

Although the "Tuk Tuk Tuk ......" did not hit the soldiers on Hu Le's deck, it also hit the building ship where Hu Le was. As if it had been strafed by a machine gun, a small boat of the Qi army on the right side of Hu Le's boat was just shot by a crossbow arrow, and the water on the boat was suddenly torn apart by the crossbow arrows, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the whole boat seemed to be a sieve, and the sides were full of holes of all sizes, leaking everywhere. The waves around are constantly surging. Gradually, the boat was submerged by the lake. But the water coward above is still stubbornly scooping out the water in the boat, hoping to save it.

"Squeak and Quack" Under the continuous lapping of the lake, the boat finally shattered, snapped into two parts, and the bow and stern were raised high, and then slowly sank into the lake. In desperation, the water jacket above had no choice but to jump into the water to escape.

When the boat broke, some of them were crushed to death by the broken wood, or they were stuck, unable to move, and constantly struggling in the water. What's worse is that there is a fighting ship passing by, and no matter who the people in the water are, there is a rain of arrows whizzing, so there are no more active people in the water.

"Who is he?" Looking at the vicious and ruthless water bandit leader on the other party's boat, Hu Le felt very puzzled. It stands to reason that although these water bandits surrendered to the Qi army, they will still focus on preserving their strength. Even if they fight to the death with the Jieyi Army now, they have no choice, and they will not fight to the death regardless of casualties. The building ship on the opposite side is desperate for his own building ship, and now he doesn't care about anything. Hu Le could clearly see that the other party did not dodge several collisions that could have been avoided.

"General, that person is Fang Dahai, the leader of the water bandits on Swallow Island!" The soldier from the Li family hurriedly replied to Hu Le.

"Fuck! It turned out to be the guy who was robbed of the old nest, no wonder he looked like he was going to fight to the death with us. Hu Le was suddenly a little depressed. At this moment, of course, he understood that the other party deliberately wanted to fight to the death with himself because he copied the other party's hometown. Of course, he may still want to take down his own flagship and take down his own general of the Jieyi Army, so as to get back the property of Swallow Island that he robbed, so as not to be divided by the other two families. After all, he was now the weakest of the three bandits.

That's right, Hu Le's guess is also Fang Dahai's idea at this moment. After this battle, if the Qi army wins, the property of the Jieyi army will naturally be the spoils of war, and the property of his Swallow Island will be taken by the Jieyi army, and after the war, it will definitely become the spoils of war. Even if he had a reason, he was not the opponent of the other two water bandits, whether it was strength or words. Therefore, he needs to make meritorious contributions in this battle, make great contributions, and let himself get back what he lost, in order to be justified.

"Quick! Fast! Lean in on me and take the broadside! We will capture them alive. Seeing that he had been fighting for a long time and had not been able to make a contribution, Fang Dahai was heartbroken and issued a military order to the two fighting ships that followed him.

Taking advantage of the large number of people on his side, coupled with Fang Dahai's purposeful attack, in addition to his building ship, there were two fighting ships next to him who were also fearless and approaching Hu Le's building boat, and in the surroundings, the warships of the Jieyi Army and the water bandit warships of the Qi Army continued to fight together.

The huge bows of the two fighting ships completely smashed the floating corpses floating in the lake away, and after the rolling blood-red spray rolled over, the traces of the ship disappeared completely. The two fighting ships tried to get close to Hu Le's ship, so as to engage in broadside and hand-to-hand combat. The water bandits on the fighting ship were ready for battle, and one of them was a big man, holding a flying cymbal in his hand, throwing it hard, and successfully hooked the side of the building ship, and dozens of water bandits immediately came up, and at the same time pulled the flying cymbal, put on the winch, and began to stir the winch quickly, so the fighting ship hurriedly approached the building ship. The bandits on the fighting ship squatted down, clutching the water splitting thorns, just waiting for the two sides to touch, and they immediately jumped onto the Angry Dragon and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with each other.

However, Hu Le on the building boat did not give them this opportunity at all, and only heard the sound of whizzing arrows, and dozens of archers appeared on the side of the building boat, facing the dense water bandits with a rain of arrows. Then more than a dozen crossbow archers appeared, shooting each other fiercely with crossbow arrows. The big man who threw the cymbal was shot by the arrow and struggled to fall, and the rest of the bandits also fell a lot. But they all knew that they must not let go at this time, so they grabbed the flying cymbal, and the fighting ship was getting closer and closer to the building ship.

"Ready, up!" Looking at the approaching local ships, Xu Wenlelong, who was in charge of the combat and defense of the deck of the warship, immediately shouted and gave a military order to the soldiers on the ship. Suddenly, dozens of sailors on the ship suddenly pulled up their shooting rods, and the boulder that was firmly trapped by the rope was slowly pulled into the air.

Xu Wenle shouted again: "Release!" ”

All the sailors instantly let go of the ropes, and the heavy rock suddenly broke away and crashed into the oncoming fighting ship.

Thundered...... The heavy rock crashed into the left side of the ship, making a deafening sound, sawdust flew sideways, flesh and blood blurred, and the left side of the ship was knocked open by a third, and the deck and side sides were completely shattered.

When the boulder hit, the dozens of bandits just now had all disappeared, leaving only the broken deck with blurred flesh and blood, as well as the broken limbs clearly visible on the deck, and the blood falling into the water like a waterfall. The lake is constantly being poured in. The fighting ship began to tilt to the left, and suddenly the frightened cries of the bandits could be heard. Some of the clever bandits had already jumped into the lake.

"Turn left! Parry! Hu Le, who observed the overall situation, issued a military order in time. The building ship slowly turned to the left, avoiding the gradually capsizing ground fighting ship. With the loud sound of "bang, la, la, ......", the fighting ship leaned more and more, and the things on the deck and the corpses of the personnel fell into the water like dumplings. Smash up strings of blood-red waves. At this time, the lake was completely stained red with blood, and there were a large number of corpses and wood chips floating on it. Eventually, with a bang, the entire fighting ship capsized, and the bottom of the ship flipped up, splashing a large amount of water droplets.

"Puff ......"

This was followed by two loud noises in a row, but the two masts of the fighting ship broke off separately and whipped fiercely into the lake, splashing the waves. knocked a clipper next to him to the side on the spot and became a complete victim. Subsequently, several huge whirlpools appeared on the surface of the lake. In the end, these huge spiral nests swallowed up all the overturned fighting ships.
