After the crowd listened, all of a sudden, all kinds of details unfolded, this seemed to be the safest and most likely to succeed tactic, no wonder King Han was full of confidence.

Subsequently, Wang Lanping called in a few old local fishermen, in front of the generals, marked several landing points suitable for crossing the river, the water war is only an auxiliary war, if you want to capture Luzhou City, you have to rely on the infantry army.

In the early morning of the next day, Fa and 600 water ghosts were standing naked by the riverside waiting for the military order to march, and the warships and bamboo rafts were also docked at the riverside.

Wang Lanping asked people to fetch spirits and distribute them to the water ghosts, and the river water in mid-September was already quite cool.

"Heroes, this king only said one word, complete the task, come back alive, this king has given you a strong trip, do it!"

"!"

"!"

Three bowls in a row, with a crisp sound, the broken porcelain pieces all over the ground, the sharp edges are like the deadly and then born spirit of the water ghosts, hard and sharp.

The commander of this battle was Zhao Zhishang, the commander of the military camp, he took the initiative to invite Sakura, and since the surrender, he has not had an inch of success, and this was the first time of the Luzhou War, he naturally could not let it to others.

The majestic momentum of the river is not as good as the Han Wang's naval army that is brave at this time, 27 ships are broken, and there are so many bamboo rafts that I want to be a mahjong mat spread on the water, one after another in series behind the big boat, the full sail mast is like the belly of a pregnant woman who is nine months pregnant, and this group of heroic soldiers goes straight to the No. 3 water village on the opposite bank.

The war drums on the river bank and on the boats and on the bamboo rafts have not stopped, deafening, and the majestic and mighty war drums can stimulate their fighting spirit even more.

At the same time, the other side also reacted at the first time, on this unobstructed river, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the river surface is unobstructed, the Han Wangjun moved, and the other side also moved, Zhang Hualong has been waiting for this day for a long time, the Western Army has not relaxed the tight strings in his heart since the day Wang Lanping entered Guiyang City, as a rebel, there is only one end of defeat, a thousand cuts.

In the face of yesterday's atypical military action of the Ming army, Zhang Hualong can of course judge that it is nothing more than a test of the truth and a search for the weak point of the Luzhou defense line, and it is nothing more than that the other party has found a tactic that he thinks can be punished, whether to lead the snake out, or to encircle the point to send reinforcements, or to break them one by one, but Lao Tzu will recognize one, no matter how you move, Lao Tzu will take the initiative later, first see a clear understanding and then do it, if you want to rely on eighty or ninety thousand people to break through the Shenjian Mountain moat, it seems that the number of troops is less, and on this river, It's too difficult to play any tricks in broad daylight.

Luzhou City did not move, but erected more flags on the key points of the defense line, with a strong momentum, in all the strongholds of Luzhou City, the defense and attack power of the eastern water village was the weakest, and the Ming army's water army pinched a soft persimmon, this little careful thinking can also hide Zhang Hualong, no help, no rescue, no attack, only hold out, in order to see its changes.

On a cliff on the bank of the river, the banner of the king of Han is whistling in the wind, the wind direction is still favorable to his side, under the banner, Wang Lanping and the generals stand on horseback, all stretching their necks to see the progress on the river.

In Wang Lanping's sight, all the ships on the water gradually turned into a black spot, and the distance should be very close to the No. 3 Water Village, but the other party behaved very calmly, and there were no warships to help like yesterday.

"It seems that this Zhang Hualong is really calm and not fooled," Wang Lanping pointed to Cao Dingjiao at the No. 1 and No. 2 Water Villages of the Western Army on the other side.

"If I were Zhang Hualong, I would have robbed the camp at night last night, anyway, with the sharp weapon of the sailor, come and go freely, disrupt the opponent's position first, and not fall into passivity today" Cao Dingjiao looked down on the generals who only knew how to blindly defend, he believed that the general should show his sword when he met the enemy, and the brave won when he met on a narrow road, this is the glory of the soldiers, as if the Western Army has been on the defensive since defeating Zuo Liangbu in Huizhou, which also shows that the rebels are rebels.

Zhao Zhishang on the side muttered: "The old man doesn't think so, Zhang Huacheng changed yesterday's fanaticism and moved quietly, for now, it is also the way to deal with it, he can't figure out what we want to do, King Han, forgive the old man for being presumptuous, you must have a second hand to prepare, if the other party really watches us attack the No. 3 Water Village, what is your next step?" ”

Wang Lanping's face was pleasant, and he pointed at Cao Dingjiao and said, "You still lack strong practice" Then he turned his head to Zhao Zhishang on the other side and said: "What does the old general think this king is going to do?" ”

Zhao Zhishang laughed, "The fake show is really done, take the opportunity to take the No. 3 Water Village, like a nail nailed to the edge of Luzhou City, I'm not afraid that Zhang Hualong won't come to take it, anyway, no matter if he saves it today or not, one day he will come"

Wang Lanping smiled and didn't answer, so he turned his gaze to the other person's body and said soothingly: "Quartermaster, are you all ready?" ”

"Back to the King of Han, within ten days, he searched for a range of 100 miles upstream and downstream, and only collected more than 300 boats, and the rest of the things that should be prepared are also ready, just waiting for the order of the King of Han."

"Yes!" Wang Lanping nodded with satisfaction, as if Luzhou City was already a dead city in his eyes, "Okay, how long will it take you to build two two-mile-long pontoon bridges at the earliest?" ”

The quartermaster thought for a moment and said, "If there are enough people, two days will be enough."

"No, I'll only give you half a day"

The quartermaster didn't dare to say that it was not enough, and there was no possibility of changing the military order, so he gritted his teeth and said: "The last general will go all out"

Wang Lanping said indifferently: "All the overdue ones will be beheaded, and the order will be that when the sun sets on the river, all the sappers will immediately start laying the pontoon bridge in Yanziji, which must be completed before dawn."

"Honor!"

As soon as the quartermaster left, Zhao Zhishang hurriedly said: "King Han, is this in a hurry, the strength of the opponent's sailors has not been eliminated, and this pontoon bridge is not easy to spread."

Wang Lanping said: "There are difficulties at any time, my little trick of leading the encirclement point to send reinforcements can't hide Zhang Hualong, believe it or not, even if the No. 3 water village is broken by me, he will not dispatch the other two water divisions, only come to the shore to help, and hold the beach position."

Wang Lanping pointed to the direction of Yanziji, which is ten miles away to the east, and said: "Yanziji is the only place that is not suitable for landing, the opposite bank is not easy to defend, and it is difficult for us to attack."

Zhao Zhishang wondered: "Then you still have to build a bridge there"

Wang Lanping shook his head and smiled: "In fact, the real floating frame has already been erected, and Yanziji is still feintifying, in order to be afraid that Zhang Hualong's sailor will not come out of the water village."

The generals were surprised when they heard this, when did they pave the pontoon bridge, they hadn't heard of it, the river was different from the land, and any movement could be discovered by the other party's sentry along the river.

Cao Dingjiao grinned and said to himself: "I'm almost stunned, which one is the feint attack and which is the main attack?" It's a mess."

Wang Lanping said with a smile: "It's good to mess up, and messy punches can kill the master"

At this time, a horse came running from a distance, came to Wang Lanping's side, rode a horse and said: "Report to the King of Han, there is news from the riverside, saying that Zhang Xianzhong has sent people to pull up ten Hengjiang iron chains on the Lushui, and 50,000 Western troops are coming from Chengdu, and they will arrive in ten days at the earliest."

The generals' faces tightened, and Wang Lanping waved and said, "I know, I will investigate and report again."

After leaving in detail, Zhao Zhishang hurriedly said: "It seems that even if we take Luzhou City, we won't be able to rush through Lushui in a short time, King Han, let's fight here, but Zhang Xianzhong was in a hurry, and he actually sent reinforcements from Chengdu."

Wang Lanping didn't think much about it, it took ten days to arrive, so what was it afraid of, Luzhou City was already in my pocket at that time.

Suddenly, the cannon sounded on the river, and a burst of smoke rose from the black and white junction on the opposite bank, Cao Dingjiao pointed and said: "I am connected to the fire, I can't hide it, I hate water wars the most, I am in a hurry, and I can't help at all."

Wang Lanping didn't speak, just searched the river with a pair of sharp eyes, why didn't this damn reinforcement show up.

Watching the battle here, I can almost only hear a few sporadic cannon sounds, and the sunlight is a little dazzling, so I can't see the battle situation on the opposite side at all.

Half an hour has passed like this, and now the intermittent cannon sound can not be heard, but I can see that a raging fire has been ignited in the No. 3 water village on the other side, and I don't know how the fight is going, so there must be no improvement.

As Wang Lanping expected, as soon as the feint naval army entered the No. 3 water village, it was attacked by the artillery on the shore first, there was no fence on the river outside the water village, and the Han king's naval army braved the bombardment of several cannons, and rushed directly towards the other party's warship moored on the river bank, and the ships on both sides were not equipped with cannons, and they could only board the ship to fight in close combat, and more and more soldiers and horses on the shore came, and it seemed that even if the water village was broken, it was difficult to grab the river beach here.

When Wang Lanping was concentrating in the direction of No. 3 Water Village, Cao Dingjiao shouted, pointed to the water on the other side of Shenjian Mountain and said, "King Han, look, enemy reinforcements are coming."

Bypass the front end of Shenjian Mountain to rescue No. 3 Water Village, you must go around in a big circle, because on the river surface of the headwind, half of the manpower, half of the wind, the headwind does not mean that you must not use the wind, as long as you go around more roads, go around in circles on the river, and go forward according to the "Zhi", the role of the wind is not worse than that of less work, but the circle around is very large, time-consuming, but you can always go fast from the wind.

The warships of the enemy reinforcements in the river must have come, but there are not many, even if they are far away, Wang Lanping can see clearly, at most there are only five boats, this is not reinforcements, it is just an armed reconnaissance conducted by Zhang Hualong, and the ships are still a long distance away from the 100 empty bamboo raft arrays anchored in the center of the river.

The battle of the No. 3 water village continues, don't look at this water village without shelter, but everyone knows, the more this is the more dangerous, the real defense is under the water, just can't find the entrance, just a boat rushed in, and it was poked through the bottom of the boat by the big bamboo stick under the water, half of the water was in, and it was trapped in place and couldn't move, this kind of fortification If there is no waterway map, it is impossible to enter at all.

This is still the weakest defense of the Western Army, and the other two have more organs.

As the sun set, the river was red, and after paying a heavy price, the No. 3 water village was finally taken, but in a blink of an eye it was swept into the attack of the infantry army on the shore, and the two armies fought fiercely on the shore, and the dead were filled in the river.

After leaving in detail, Zhao Zhishang hurriedly said: "It seems that even if we take Luzhou City, we won't be able to rush through Lushui in a short time, King Han, let's fight here, but Zhang Xianzhong was in a hurry, and he actually sent reinforcements from Chengdu."
