165 Battle of Poyang Lake (2)
The fog was so thick that no one could see clearly, and no one was willing to give their lives to a compass or a map of cold water, relying on experienced fishermen, with the small boat in front and the big boat following closely behind, hoisting the sails.
"Whew!" The sound of the wind sounded, as if he had returned to the ancient Chibi battlefield, how high-spirited Cao Cao was that year, but he was defeated by Zhou Yu, a stinky child, how sad.
Zhang Fakui likes to listen to book reviews, and every time he hears that the company camp is burned, he is not worth it for Cao Cao, a generation of heroes who were killed by others and abandoned their armor, and what is even more infuriating is that they were written into commentaries by others, laughing and scolding through the ages.
I definitely don't want to be a person like Cao Cao, I want to be the hero, and the so-called Liu Yuan is just a small obstacle to his hegemony.
"We're going to speed up, the old fishermen at home just now said that when the wind is stronger, the fog will dissipate, and if we can't cross the lake, we will force ourselves to fight with them." Dongyu stood beside Zhang Fakui like an iron tower, giving Zhang Fakui an infinite sense of security.
"Okay, I'll order the fleet to speed up, and Nanchang will be in our pocket soon." Zhang Fakui was very excited and hurriedly ordered the fleet to speed up.
Hukou is the north gate of Jiangxi, known as the key to the rivers and lakes, the thoroughfare of the three provinces, along the west of the Jiangxi can go to Wuhan and Chongqing, the east can go to Nanjing, the south can go to Nanchang, the strategic location is extremely important.
Zhang Fakui's big boat is very large, I heard the fishermen say that his ancestors taught Zhu Yuanzhang to build a warship, the name of this ship is Lou Boat, it can be attacked near and defended far away, and it is said that it is more than ten zhang high, and it can hide more than 3,000 soldiers.
In order to repair the ship, Zhang Fakui mobilized thousands of people to participate in the whole process, and only then did he repair the ship roughly, and he did not install any defensive tools.
Standing on the boat, Zhang Fakui looked at the mouth of the lake where there was a faint bonfire flickering, sighed and said, "Xiaoer Liu Yuan still doesn't know how to use people, He Long is a man from a broken man, what knowledge can he have, if it were me, I would definitely set up a few iron chains at the mouth of the lake, so who can get by?" Don't say it, when I capture Liu Yuan, I must laugh at him. Dong Yu also nodded hurriedly and said, "Liu Yuan is seriously ill, where do you have so much thought about the military, I guess I will devote myself to arranging the future." "I don't care what he arranges, I only know that Nanchang is mine, Jiangxi is mine, and from now on, Zhang Fakui is the king of Jiangxi, even if Chiang Kai-shek wants to regret it, it is to help him teach his apprentices, and I take back Jiangxi." Zhang Fakui said proudly.
Xie Yingbai's face was very ugly, but he still only reminded Zhang Fakui to pay attention to the enemy's sneak attack, which made Zhang Fakui extremely dissatisfied.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Fakui's fleet passed the mouth of the lake. At this time, the wind was blowing stronger and stronger, and the sky was already white, and a few stars were twinkling in the sky, but they were not active for long.
"Ha Luha, after crossing the mouth of the lake, it won't be long before no one can stop us." Xie Yingbai saw that the sky was about to dawn, and the fog had dissipated a lot, and from a distance, there was no sign of troops stationed on the shore, and the heart hanging in his heart finally sank.
"I'll just say that you people who study abroad have learned your brains badly, and you will definitely be afraid to fight, if you listen to you, you will definitely not be able to come here today." Zhang Fakui said.
"That's what the commander-in-chief said!" At this time, Xie Yingbai would definitely not touch Zhang Fakui's brows, and at this time, the fleet suddenly stopped advancing.
"What's going on!?" Zhang Fakui looked at Dong Yu, Dong Yu frowned, and then stepped forward, and after a while, the correspondent ran over and told the matter.
"Commander-in-chief, we're in trouble, there are a few chains in front of us that lock the river, and we can't get through." Dongyu said.
"What's going on? How can there be chains here, can you go around them? Zhang Fakui said anxiously.
"This generation is narrow, there's no way around it, and I suspect there's an ambush here!" Xie Yingbai's face turned pale with fright, and he stood on a high place and looked at it with a telescope, so frightened that his legs trembled.
"What's that," Someone suddenly saw that there was a thing in the sky that seemed to be popular and landed on a nearby boat, and before everyone could react, the arrows with fire heads in the sky were shooting on the deck of the ship, and at this time Zhang Fakui found that a row of warships had appeared on the river opposite the road, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at his fleet. On the shore, countless soldiers shot arrows at their own ships with the most primitive bows and arrows, and the arrows were full of flames, and when they fell on their own ships, they were raging flames, and it was impossible to extinguish them.
Zhang Fakui's face was green, how could this be, at this time, he didn't dare to dream of the king of Jiangxi.
"Retreat!" Zhang Fakui shouted loudly, and Xie Yingbai stopped the communication soldier, "Commander-in-chief, since we have fallen for the enemy's scheme, we have categorically not retreated to the end, and we may be able to break through the defense and have a way to survive if we fight to the death." "Bastard, how can the iron chain in front rush over, and there is an ironclad battleship on the opposite side, so how can my wooden ship fight with others!" Hurry up and give me a retreat!
Zhang Fakui's retreat knocked over several boats, and I don't know how many soldiers fell into the water, howling and painful sounds.
Many soldiers were shot by the arrows, and suddenly the whole person became a fire man, fell into the water and kept fighting, and drowned in the water after the most Lu, the big boat was better, and there was not much loss, more than a hundred small boats, in the blink of an eye, the ghost knew what arrow fell on the boat, the boat immediately caught fire so quickly, and the fire could not be extinguished no matter what.
Zhang Fakui didn't have the heart to care about the soldiers who were struggling in the water, he knew better than anyone that if he took care of them, he would probably have to stay in the river to feed the fish, so he ordered the fleet to retreat desperately. "Pulling the fleet and desperately retreating, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to withdraw later. And the archers on the shore don't seem to know how to use bows and arrows very well, and the two ** shots have no accuracy. And the ironclad battleship did not pursue because of the iron chain.
Xie Yingbai scolded Zhang Fakui at the bow of the boat now, "Scolding Zhang Fakui is going to take everyone to death." Zhang Fakui locked up Xie Yingbai in a fit of rage, and if it weren't for Chiang Kai-shek's face, he would have had to cut him down.
After all, there was no pursuer, and they were about to reach the mouth of the lake, and they landed immediately after the mouth of the lake. When Hukou loomed in front of everyone, everyone was stupid.
A pontoon bridge had already spanned the mouth of the Jiujiang River, and with a cannon shot, a shell fell on Zhang Fakui's boat, which was the largest, but at this time it became a target.
Looking at the muzzle of the black hole, Zhang Fakui felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time, and fainted in front of him.
