Zhong Xiang, the head of the Bozhou Naval Division, was ready to sleep, although the battle during the day was not smooth, but he was not overly worried, even the top of the mountain island broke the sky and there were two or three thousand defenders, but his entire naval division had nearly 20,000 people, and there were tens of thousands of people who could be put into the landing operation, and it was not a problem to take this island, as time went by, the will of the defenders on the island to resist would also collapse under the situation of internal and external difficulties, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, this well-built base will completely belong to itself, and belong to the Bozhou Naval Division.

Unarmoured, he was ready to rest well, and he commanded the fleet in full armor for nearly a day, and he was especially tired at this time. Zhong Xiang, who had just laid down on the bed, had not had time to stretch his waist, he was startled by a strange whistling sound, which was the sound of the trebuchet firing, this kind of sound was very familiar to him, but the sound just now was very peculiar, as if the sound of several trebuchets was suddenly amplified countless times when it was launched, he threw himself on the side of the cabin, through the gangway, looking at Lianshan Island not far away, and in an instant, his heart was as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and at that moment, it seemed that he had completely stopped the long jump.

In front of his eyes, what was shown was a magnificent scene, the stone bullets that covered the sky screamed from the air and flew to the dock by the sea, the water village, Zhong Xiang has worked the battlefield all his life, but he has never seen such a dense trebuchet fired at the same time, in the blink of an eye, countless stone bullets will cut off his vision, and all that comes into view is the endless round stone cannons.

With Zhong Xiang's heavy gasping sound, the stone bullets fell heavily, among which the large stone cannon weighing more than 100 catties hit the ships parked in the dock and the water wall, and directly penetrated the entire ship, Zhong Xiang can even see the sea water splashed up from those huge holes, the brightly lit water village, the dock in the blink of an eye, it turned from the sea of joy to celebrate victory into a hell on earth, from time to time there are small auxiliary ships are directly hit in two, some even fly high, helplessly churning in the air, and then fall heavily, Splash a wave.

The screams, the roars, the helpless cries for help came from miles away, and they were still so clearly audible, and the officers and men of Zhongxiang's fleet, who had anchored a few miles offshore, were awakened, threw themselves on deck, and watched helplessly at the tragedy that was taking place.

Zhong Xiang quickly ran to the top of the boat, clenched his fists tightly, he didn't notice that he had bitten his lip without noticing, blood was flowing from his mouth, his eyes widened, looking at the other side, as if to reflect this scene deeply in his mind.

There are surviving ships panicked to anchor, trying to escape from this sea of death, but in the narrow dock and the water wall, from time to time there are close to the escape of the ship and the water village crashed together, and the island at this time extended the shooting target, part of the stone bombs changed to block the entrance to the dock and the water wall, the lucky ships arrived here, still difficult to escape the blow of the stone rain, one after another was sunk, some ships caught fire and burned, the raging fire reflected the entire dock and the water village red, above the water, the corpses densely floated on the water, Almost covered by the water, occasionally a few living people paddled hard, some trying to climb ashore, and more desperately swimming out to sea, where a large number of their ships were parked.

With a bang, Zhong Xiang punched the boat, the sharp pain in his hand made his brain clear up a little, and a feeling of pain into the bone marrow permeated his whole body, almost one-third of the strength of his fleet had just been destroyed, and in such an instant, in less than a pillar of incense, the whole army was wiped out on this small island that he didn't look at at all.

What docks, water villages, and what can't resist panic and escape, are all pretenses, all in order to lure their own fleets into these places, the island has long been preset traps, those trebuchets must have been tested countless times, in order to hit these targets so accurately, so that their fleets can not escape in time, all of this is a trap set by the other commander's commander a long time ago, just waiting for himself to get into it.

Zhong Xiang's heart was dripping blood, and after this battle, at least for two years, his fleet would not be able to recover to its heyday.

There were bursts of cheers on Lianshan Island, and the enemy's congratulations were like sprinkling a handful of salt on Zhong Xiang's wounds.

Inside the dock waterhouse, the burning ships burned all night, until the first rays of sunlight burst out of the sea and brightened the tops of the two peaks on the opposite island, and the fire gradually went out, leaving only wisps of green smoke to rise up.

At this time, the dozens of ships parked in the dock had been completely wiped out, and most of the thousands of officers and men were buried at the bottom of the sea, and only a few hundred people were left who were lucky enough to swim on the breakwater or Lianshan Island, and they were gathered together in disheveled clothes, looking at the dock and water village in ruins, and they were unarmed and gathered together in horror, their eyes wandering. Apparently frightened.

"Attack, attack, attack with all the army!" Zhong Xiang pounded the side of the boat and hissed loudly, "I'm going to kill these bunnies alive!" ”

The main force of the Bozhou Naval Division was divided into three routes, and at the same time launched a general attack on Lianshan Island.

The trebuchets on the island had no need to hide at this time, and they all began to attack the ships on the sea, and the calm sea suddenly boiled, and the waves splashed one after another when the stone bullets fell, and the sea seemed to be boiled by fire.

Zheng Zhiqiang also calmed down from the previous carnival, he knew that the most difficult time had come, and the trebuchet that had lost his hidden surname was no longer a big threat to the ships of the Bozhou Sailors, and the next would be a brutal ground battle, and he would at least hold on until the end of the day.

The hand holding the waist knife couldn't help but tighten. "Come on, old fellow, I'll wait for you!" He muttered.

Zhongli, who was hundreds of miles away, of course, could not know what happened on Lianshan Island, at this moment, he was very excited, the enemy he was chasing appeared less than ten miles away in front of him at this time, and last night, the panicked opponent actually fled overnight, and although it was the first time for him to sail before the night, he did not chase the other party away, but kept biting the other party's tail, there are many people on his boat, and he can work in shifts, and the other party is obviously not good, and he ran away all night, The enemy on the opposite side was obviously extremely tired, and the speed of the ship was slowing down, and he was getting closer and closer.

"Major General, there is an island ahead!" A school officer reported loudly to Zhongli.

Spreading out the chart and finding the location of this island, Zhongli said: "This is a volcanic rock island, the other party obviously wants to use the islands here to evade our pursuit, give orders, speed up, tell the brothers, catch up, annihilate the enemy, each of them will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" "In order to annihilate the opponent beautifully, Zhongli did not hesitate to reward him.

The sailors are boiling, their annual silver is only twenty taels, but if they win this battle, they will have a reward of ten taels of silver, how to make them not excited, and they are still in the case of a big advantage, the current situation is that as long as they catch up with the enemy, it is a matter of destroying them.

The speed of the ship increased suddenly.

Yuan Gang looked at the enemy ships that were getting closer and closer behind him, at this time, the nearest ship chased by the other party was only three or four miles away from him, and those with good eyes could even see the enemy's face.

"Why are you chasing so fast, are you in a hurry to report to the ghost gate?" Yuan Gang muttered in a low voice, and ordered loudly, "Left full rudder, go around the island in a zigzag!" ”

Seeing that Yuan Gang, who was already in the bag, instead of entering the island, discharged such a strange formation, Zhongli couldn't help but wonder, is the other party going to fight to the death, it doesn't make sense, why don't they use the complex waterways here to dodge their attacks?

Without waiting for Zhongli to react, the sudden appearance of the situation in front of him made him suddenly realize, and at the same time, he was in a state of disarray, and suddenly sailed out of the islands of volcanic rocks, and Yuan Gang's Black Hawk went left for several nautical miles, and then made a big circle, intending to go behind him.

"Ambush, it turns out that they are ambushed here!" Zhongli's face was pale, one, two, three, four, five, the other party just had five ships of five thousand materials with the kind of five thousand materials he was in now, and there were dozens of three thousand material warships, and this battle could not be fought at all.

"Turn the rudder and evacuate at full speed!" Zhongli's voice trembled, and he couldn't speak in tune, in fact, he didn't need to give an order, and when he saw a large number of ships appearing on the opposite side, the soldiers of the ship had already turned the helm and began to retreat backwards.

In the blink of an eye, the predator becomes the prey.

Zhongli wanted to escape, but he could escape there, after a day and a night of pursuing the Black Hawk, the soldiers of the fleet were already at the end of their crossbows, the courage inspired by the bounty had disappeared at this time, and the huge shadow of death enveloped them, instead of speeding up their escape, the speed of the ship became slower and slower, and Zhongli saw in despair that the opponent's huge fleet surrounded him.

The eight-bull crossbow screamed, with a long rope to nail the ship, two five thousand enemy ships targeted his ship, the other three thousand warships were targeted by this kind of large ship, there was only a part of the beating, looking at the other party's blow like a storm, Zhongli desperately pulled out his waist knife, and shouted loudly: "All ready, take the side to fight!" ”

There was no suspense in the war, and in less than an hour, the war ended, and the Bozhou detachment under the command of Zhongli was completely annihilated.

"General Zheng, we have won a great victory!" Yuan Gang boarded Zheng Zhiyuan's Izumo, and said excitedly, looking at the large and small ships floating on the sea, except for some small ships that were burned and sunk, most of the ships were intact, but their masters were either killed or captured alive at this time.

Zheng Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, but his eyes turned to the direction of Lianshan Island, if there was no deviation in the strategy, this Zhong Xiang's Bozhou Sailor Division lost one here, and one on Lianshan Island, and now the strength of the two armies has been basically leveled. The time is ripe for total annihilation of the opponent.

"Yuan Gang, you stay here and deal with these captured ships, these ships are good, you can join our army with a little repair, Cai Lao Crocodile on the volcanic island has already been ambushed."

"Yes, General, just these prisoners of war?" Yuan Gang pointed to the captured Bozhou sailors on the ship.

Zheng Zhiyuan said: "We don't have the time or energy to screen them, you know what to do!" He made a slashing action in his hand, and Yuan Gang's heart sank.
