Li Jingsui, the king of Qi who was overly angry, no longer rubbed his tongue with these ministers, and directly put forward five military suggestions to Emperor Li Jing:

The first is to urgently raise food and quickly mobilize it to the front lines in Shouzhou, Changzhou, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou, especially Shouzhou, the sooner the better!

The second is to appoint Li Jingda as the envoy to the east, commanding the four armies of Jiangyin, Jinghai, Zhenhai, and Ningguo, to deal with the attack on the northern front of Wu and Yue.

The third is to appoint Chen Zhi as the envoy to the south, temporarily lead the nearby Baisheng and Zhaowu armies, and make every effort to deal with the attack on the Wu-Vietnam front and the attack from the Southern Han.

Fourth, he urgently ordered Ma Jiwei to launch an attack on the Jingjiang Xingjie in Chudi, forcing the Southern Han Dynasty from the western front and relieving the pressure on the eastern front.

Fifth, it was necessary to urgently mobilize the elite of the Anhua and Zhennan armies in the hinterland of the Southern Tang Dynasty to the vicinity of Jinling, establish a defense line south of the Yangtze River, and be ready to cross the river at any time to support.

Li Jing was also tired of the endless controversy of these ministers, and in addition to urgently appointing the veteran generals Zhu Ye and Sun Hanwei to Changzhou and Fuzhou to serve as the military supervisors of the two places, he agreed to all the above five suggestions and quickly issued an edict.

On the evening of September 26, more than a dozen envoy teams escorted by the forbidden army rode out of Jinling and began to deliver the holy decree to the Southern Tang army, which also added a trace of tension to the already frightened Jinling City.

On September 27, the second attack of the Later Zhou army across the river entered the implementation stage. Commander Li Gu seemed to be really ruthless, he combined the size of the existing ships and divided them into six attack fleets; Each flotilla was led by a general and commanded 20,000 infantry, ready to cross the river along the pontoon bridge to attack.

Lin Feng, who was responsible for commanding the defense of Zhengyang Ferry, also distributed troops across the river, with the Shouzhou Army and the Tanzhou Army serving as the main force of defense, and the regimental training township soldiers were evenly distributed into each team for actual combat exercises, and the masters and special soldiers who rushed to help from all over the country were mixed in formation as the soldiers of the escort.

Previously, according to repeated observations, the strength of the Zhou army at Shouzhou Wharf was far less than that of Zhengyangdu, and Lin Fengte assigned Ge Chang to lead the defense of the two pontoon bridges at Shouzhou Wharf.

At the end of the day, the Houzhou soldiers who had finished their meal began to assemble on the north side of the Huai River embankment and the river embankment, with four attack fleets with large ships in front and small boats behind, all of which slowly started and began to adjust their formations.

Lin Feng, who was standing directly above the water village, saw the enemy's movements from the telescope, and immediately ordered the banner to be raised, and commanded the personnel of the four armies and the defenders of the water village to get ready.

Before crossing the middle line of the river, the two westernmost and easternmost fleets suddenly turned outward and drew an arc, while the two fleets in the middle did not change, and sailed straight at the left and right ends of the water village.

Lin Feng especially looked closely at the rear of the enemy ships, and found that they were all using a huge two-car warship as a towing boat, slowly driving the long pontoon boats on the shore, those boats were connected by iron chains and ropes, and they were covered with wooden planks, which looked like an avenue on the hull of the ship.

Lin Feng snorted coldly and handed the telescope to Suo Chao and Chen Lifei next to him.

Amid the nervous heartbeats of the soldiers on both sides, the lead of the two fleets in the middle of the latter week rushed across the center line, adjusted the sails, and began to speed forward, and the rapid drums also thundered. As soon as the drums stopped, all the Houzhou soldiers shouted "kill" in unison, and the sound of Lang was like an invisible giant Lang, surging towards the south bank.

Lin Feng, who had a sneer on his face, looked at the floating objects on the river surface that the enemy's head boat had already crossed the range of the trebuchet, and immediately ordered, and a special soldier raised the red dragon flag that signaled the trebuchet to exert its strength, and shook it three times in a row.

The creaking sound began to rise again, and clumps of stones and mud began to rise, heading straight for the river. However, the Zhou army learned from the failed experience of the last river crossing attack, carefully observed the landing point and range of the trebuchet, and the direction of attack chosen this time was also the edge of the trebuchet's range, and the fleet was not substantially damaged or blocked.

As soon as they rushed into range, the big ships in front of them slowed down, distanced themselves from each other, and the big shields began to rise in the bow of the ship.

Another rapid drum sounded, and small warships with dense shields at the front of the front rushed over from the middle of the big ship, and the slurry on both sides rowed rapidly, rushing towards the direction of the water village.

"All of them, five shots in a row!" Suo Chao's loud voice sounded again, and all the defending soldiers on the three-story water village and the two Shouzhou troops on the river embankment on both sides all began to shoot arrows, trying their best to block the attack of the boat.

In a few moments, the hulls of the boats were all filled with arrows, like a hedgehog that could only swim in the water, but those arrows could not penetrate the thick shield at the bow of the boat, and they could only watch as the boats slowly slid to the position of the pointed iron stakes of the barrage, some of which were blocked by iron rods, and some of which were caught in the gap between the two iron rods.

At this time, Zhou Jun shouted loudly and commanded on the small boat in the rear, and the soldiers hidden in the cabin accelerated their oars, rushed forward, and hit the stopped boats forward.

One, two, three...... More and more boats were carried over the iron rod piles and drifted forward, and the nearest was only a dozen meters away from the water village!

Seeing this, Lin Feng roared: "Heaven-shattering thunder!" Two in one boat! ”

A row of special forces fighters behind him shouted in unison, ignited the earth-shattering thunder in his hand, and threw it at the boat.

The earth-shattering thunder that braved the sparks crossed a short distance and landed accurately on the boat, connecting to the explosion. Five or six small boats in a row were blown apart, and the Zhou soldiers behind the shield array were blown over on the boat, but the boats were still held by the boats behind and continued to rush towards the barrage stakes in front of the water village.

The power of the earth-shattering thunder is still not enough! Lin Feng sighed secretly and waved his hand to stop the sky-shaking thunder throw.

At this time, the large warships of the two rear Zhou attack fleets in the middle all rushed to the Tie Stick River Pile, slowly adjusting their positions, and the ships were connected to the bow and tail of the ships, forming four north-south waterway channels, which were tightly encircled on both sides of the attacking boats.

"All for rockets!" Lin Feng ordered urgently.

Rocket after rocket flew towards the big ship, but the sails that had been on track at the last time were not very good today. Seeing this scene, Lin Feng shook his head slightly, thinking that the other party must have poured water on the sails last night.

By this time, a number of small boats had already arrived in front of the barrage stakes and began to crowd together.

Under the cover of a big shield, Lin Feng leaned on the front of the water village and looked carefully at the bottom of the river, and found that a Houzhou soldier was quietly sliding into the water from the back end of the boat, his heart tightened, and he shouted loudly: "Pay attention to the barrage stakes, the enemy has a water ghost into the water!" ”

Suo Chao immediately roared, and the Shouzhou soldiers on the first floor of the water village immediately leaned out and shot arrows at the river at the wooden stake, and soon a little blood stains could be seen on the water.

Lin Feng, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and found that the small boats that were already densely crowded in front of the barrage stakes had begun to stitch together the shield array and extend it to the rear. And behind the shield arrays on the big ships on both sides, there were already pieces of ship planks laid down one after another, and they were placed on top of the small boats below.

"The enemy is going to attack along the surface of the boat! Focus on attacking the enemy soldiers who disembark from the big ship! Lin Feng couldn't help but roar, and almost at the same time, the wind and clouds on his side also reminded loudly: "Lord Lin, the attack fleets on both sides have also rushed to the barrage iron bar!" ”

As soon as the prepared Zhou army's attack began, it immediately forced the Shouzhou defenders into a situation of hand-to-hand combat!
