The addition of the Giant Whale Ghost undoubtedly made this water battle full of stalemate, although both sides did not know the origin of the giant whale, but the Giant Whale Ghost specialized in fighting the Tang Army warships, and naturally it would not be an enemy.

The Heze Navy was disturbed by the previous one, rearranged the formation, and advanced, at least having to delay for a while, plus the distance between them, which made the Heze Navy at least two or three hours longer than expected to enter the battlefield, and on the chaotic surface battlefield, with the addition of the Giant Whale Ghost, the sinking speed of the Tang Army's warship was far faster than imagined.

The power of the giant whale water cannon can be called terrifying, among the Tang army, only the building boat can carry it, but this is also two miles away, if the giant whale water cannon enters the range of one mile, the huge water beam will not only sweep up a water wave, but also will penetrate all obstacles along the way.

If it was only the largest main cannon of the giant whale, it might not be so sad, but before the giant whale ghost rushed straight into the Tang army's warship, the small water cannons on the two wings also attacked, and the giant water cannon could only attack the target in front, but the small water cannon swept from both wings.

The small water cannon is not the kind of thick and long water beam, but an oval-shaped water bomb, maybe this small water cannon can't directly sink the shark ship, but against the flying fish, the small and medium-sized warships such as the boat are a cannon, a cannon can destroy the side of these small and medium-sized warships, and raise a little angle, you can sweep the sailors and soldiers on the ship.

What's more, the Giant Whale Ghost itself is a huge killing weapon, a huge whale tail is raised, it is a huge wave, and then a beat, it is another one, which is definitely the most terrifying killing weapon for the small and medium-sized warships nearby, not to mention that the head of the giant whale is harder, like a giant hammer.

Rampage in the chaotic battlefield, even a small building warship can't stand two hits, and the most frightening thing is that this giant monster in the water will not be affected by the difficulty of turning like a large warship, inflexible movements, etc., the giant whale flicks its tail, and its body can directly bypass a corner. At the same time, it can also accelerate in the shortest possible time.

All these advantages made the Giant Whale Ghost a turning point in this water war. The two sides that were originally stalemate. If you want to divide the winner or loser, you can only rely on the side battle. Ship-by-ship scramble. In order to distinguish the winner and loser, although the Xiangyang Navy Division has the upper hand, but it is not possible to break free from this stalemate battle situation in a short time, the Nankou Navy is enough to hold out until the Heze Navy arrives, and then carry out a larger battle of strangulation.

However, the appearance of the Giant Whale Ghost suddenly changed the situation of the battle, intuitive and efficient, with the continuous sinking of the Nankou Navy warships, the stalemate battlefield was almost one-sided, and the Xiangyang Navy Division completely had the upper hand. And the Heze Sailor is still more than 20 miles away.

The Nankou Navy was no longer able to effectively entangle the Xiangyang Naval Division, and more and more warships rushed out of the chaotic battlefield to a wider water surface and began to regroup, and the vacated space was more suitable for the play of the Giant Whale Ghost.

This water battle lasted from morning to dusk, and the golden afterglow shone obliquely on the surface of the Tianhe River, sparkling waves, countless wrecks of warships, and the corpses of soldiers floating in it, heading downstream.

The Second Sailor turned an arc on the surface of the water and re-incorporated into the ranks of the First Sailor, occupying the upstream water level, ready to meet the Heze Navy, and on the water surface of the previous melee, the burning fire provided light to the fading water, and in the firelight, the Whale Ghost let out a roar from the ocean.

The sound waves rippled layer by layer, rolled up a gust of wind, and instantly swept the Heze Navy that was going upstream.

Maybe it was frightened, or the plan failed, the Heze Navy was a few miles away, and began to turn to the northwest, obviously not planning to fight at night, and the Xiangyang Navy Division who had been fighting for a day was also relieved, if the Heze Navy pounced, it would definitely be a tragic ending in the end.

The battle of the Tianhe River ended like this, the Tang army's carefully planned plan failed miserably because of the sudden appearance of the giant whale ghost, and at the same time took ninety percent of the Nankou water army, only a few warships were able to escape, which made the Tang army's strength on the surface of the Tianhe River directly lost more than one-third, although the Tang army still has nearly two thousand warships, but the advantage in the face of the Xiangyang water division is no longer so obvious.

The debut of the Giant Whale Ghost can be described as gorgeous, killing more than two hundred warships, including even four Lou warships, and after returning to the Tianhe Water Camp in the north of Xiangyang City, the victorious sailors had to have a carnival, and Leng Zhuo also introduced Zheng Chenggong to other generals.

The losses were counted overnight, and the 1st and 2nd Naval Divisions had more than 600 warships and more than 30,000 sailors, and more than 170 warships were sunk or could not be repaired in this battle, (grasshoppers and boats were not counted), and the rest of the warships were more or less wounded, and more than 6,700 sailors were killed in the battle, most of them were killed in the broadside battle, and many were wounded.

As the victor, a considerable part of the Nankou naval warships were captured in the broadside battle, including 12 small building ships, a medium-sized building ship, and other large and medium-sized warships such as shark ships were also captured.

You must know that in this kind of water warfare, the larger the size of the warship, the less likely it is to sink, and most of the losses are mostly small and medium-sized warships, which are either sunk or destroyed by fire, in addition, more than 3,000 enemy sailors are captured.

If you count the number of warships, after this battle, not only made up for the losses, but also strengthened a lot, but the loss of the sailors is painful, and it is not easy for qualified sailors to train, even if the captured sailors are incorporated, there are still a lot of gaps.

The Third Naval Division dispatched from Dayue Bay in the Poyang Sea, the Fourth Naval Division can be said to have arrived belatedly, and did not arrive until the early morning of the second day, and after the four major naval divisions gathered, the number of warships of the Xiangyang Naval Division also increased to more than 1,100, the number of warships in Lou exceeded 100, and the number of large warships was as high as more than 300.

The Giant Whale Ghost was also incorporated into the Xiangyang Water Division, becoming an independent detachment of its own, with the same status as the other four major water divisions, and the Giant Whale Ghost joined, which was undoubtedly a huge encouragement to the Xiangyang Water Division, although in the face of the Tang Army's Heze Water Division, which was still twice as large as himself, no one in the water division doubted that the victory would still belong to them in another water battle.

With this force cruising the Tianhe, the Tang army's intention to go south was shattered, and this also meant that the Tang army's plan to retreat by water or even obtain supplies in the interior of Chuzhou had failed, and the escape road left for this Tang army was becoming more and more difficult.

In July, another rainstorm ushered in this summer, and the heavy rain brought about the rise of the river water level, and the water level of the Tianhe River was at least more than ten miles wider, but for the Tang army that entered the territory of Xiaoxiang Mansion, it was the worst half a month.

After Leng Zhuo stayed in Xiangyang for a few days, he returned to the Vermilion Bird City, the victory was in his hands, if there was no miracle birth, no one could save this Tang army, the Holy Sect army retreated to Chuxi, and the Xiangshui River Bank was also stationed in the army, and the possibility of the Holy Sect wanting to invade the Vermilion Bird Mansion was becoming more and more slim.

The time entered the August of Jixia, although Chuzhou was still divided into several pieces, Xiaoxiang Mansion, the Tang army had put down a stubborn posture here, the four mansions of Chuxi, the Holy Sect still occupied the richest and most fertile two prefectures, in northern Chu, Guangling Mansion only recovered most of it, and Dongchang Mansion was still in the hands of the Tang army.

But these have not affected Leng Zhuo's dominance in Chuzhou, among the thirteen mansions of Chuzhou, Suzaku Mansion, Nanxing Mansion, Nanlin Mansion, Dawan Mansion, Shanglin Mansion, Jialin Mansion, Jiuchuan Mansion, Poyang Mansion, most of the Guangling Mansion, and the eight and a half mansions have been controlled by Leng Zhuo, and he is already the uncrowned king of Chuzhou.

Under Leng Zhuo's command, the four major legions also gradually took shape, the Panlong Legion stationed in Jiuchuan and Jialin Mansion, the Nanwu Legion stationed in Suzaku Mansion, Shanglin and Dawan Prefecture, the Suzaku Legion that pursued to Xiaoxiang Mansion, and the Xiangyang Legion stationed in Poyang Mansion and Guangling Mansion.

The four major legions, the total number of troops is almost one million, and Leng Zhuo is now the commander of the soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, and controls the government affairs of the eight and a half prefectures under his jurisdiction, in addition to financial power, he also has the power of personnel, although these officials appointed by Leng Zhuo must be preceded by a temporary generation, but in Chuzhou, he has real power and passes through all Chu.

As for whether the new imperial court in Yunzhou recognizes it or not, it doesn't have much impact on Chuzhou!

In the past two years, after a short period of rebellion in Xiangyang, and the rebellion of the Holy Religion, to the final Battle of Suzaku, the inherent forces in Chuzhou have been destroyed by the war, and Leng Zhuo's clean and neat extermination of the inherent force group led by the Huang family has dealt a heavy blow to these old forces that are deeply rooted in Chuzhou.

The entire Chuzhou, after being shattered, finally achieved nirvana like a vermilion bird and was reborn!

After the devastation of the war, Chuzhou has been riddled with holes, the richest three major grain producing areas, the Poyang Lake area is still in the war, the Xiangshui Riverside area has just ended the war, and the most important western area is still in the hands of the Holy Sect, the only one that is still in control is Guangling Mansion, this area of Shanglin Mansion, but it is also traumatized, most of the local people fled to avoid the war, and most of the countryside is barren.

The summer harvest has just ended, and the summer seed is imminent, you must know that this big war has also consumed seven or eight of Leng Zhuo's previous accumulation, not only to support the expenses of the army, but also to support a large number of refugees.

And if you want to resume production, you must first restore the destroyed order, and in the area controlled by Leng Zhuo, a large number of official vacancies need people, and how to arrange these official vacancies is the top priority, after all, this will determine whether the foundation of his rule over Chu Prefecture in the future is solid!
