Volume 1 Mu Xuanzhou Chapter 49 Night Battle
Wu Yue was stationed outside the mouth of Taihu Lake, with a battalion of more than 1,500 sailors and more than 30 large and small warships, which was really a force to be reckoned with in the waters of Taihu Lake. There is also a brigade of elite more than 3,000 people stationed in Wu County, who often practice with the Taihu Lake water battalion, and if something happens to Taihu Lake, the water and land armies will merge nearly 5,000 people, and the troops will directly threaten Yixing and Wuxi and other important towns along the Taihu Lake in Changzhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The Taihu Lake sailor is not a fish belly, on the contrary, the fishermen who have just started an incident are the fish belly.
Therefore, the fishermen of Taihu Lake naturally have to fight at night. After dark, the Taihu Lake sailors returned to the shore, and when they boarded the boat in the hurry, the fishermen had already entered the water camp. In close combat, many fishermen are already half-fishermen and half-fishermen, and they hate these Taihu Lake sailors to the core, so they are naturally not afraid.
But when the situation changes, it is never perfect.
I saw that on the edge of the water camp, wolf smoke rose and went straight into the air. Han Shi, the leader of the Thirteen Villages and the big boss, made a decision immediately and ordered to attack. Countless boats of all sizes suddenly rowed out from the reeds by the river, and went straight to the military camp at the mouth of Taihu Lake.
At this time, Xie Tonghe, the commander of the Wuyue Taihu Lake Water Division and the commander of the Xiangdu, who heard the warning of the wolf smoke, had just run up to an arrow tower when he saw countless fishing boats flying towards the camp like arrows. At the moment, my back was cold, and I knew that tonight was really dangerous.
The situation in Taihu Lake is strange, the fishermen are ready to move, and the Taihu Lake sailors are also vigilant. The commander of the capital envoy Xie Tonghe has been staying in the military camp for the past few days, unlike usual, he has lived in the Wu County house. I also think that if something happens, I will respond in time. It's just that I didn't expect that this time the fishermen of Taihu Lake made such a big formation, I'm afraid that half of Taihu Lake will be reversed!
Xie Tonghe's hands and feet were cold, and he had the idea of abandoning the camp and fleeing for a while. But in the end, reason prevailed, and the military order was quickly issued immediately. The alarm bell sounded in the barracks, and most of the soldiers had just finished dinner at this time, and were gambling and laughing in the camp, grabbing knives and guns and boarding the ship.
There is a small island at the mouth of the bay, so a small dam was built to connect the land, so as to cut off the lake and bay, and then build a water gate to form a water camp. Usually, there is a team of ten people stationed on the island, and at this time, a team of soldiers rushed to the island.
However, the fishermen of Taihu Lake came prepared, and more than a dozen small fishing boats lurked in the nearest place, which were only a thousand steps away from the water camp. Just over half of the soldiers were still on the dam, and several fishing boats approached the dam, and there was a rain of arrows at the head, and several soldiers fell into the water screaming. The draft of these small boats was very shallow, and they rushed straight to the side of the dam, and the people on board took spears and stabbed them, and then blocked the way, and the soldiers on the dam could not advance or retreat, and were soon killed, and only a few soldiers closest to the land escaped.
The soldiers who went to the island were also desperate, and some fishermen had already waded into the water and rushed to the island, and more than ten people were wearing iron armor. The soldiers of the water camp generally only have armor or paper armor, and they usually do not wear armor, which will happen suddenly, and naturally they will not wear armor. When the dozen fishermen came ashore, they took the lead and rushed straight to the soldiers of the water camp who were hastily arrayed.
This small island is only dozens of paces in a circle, and there is no flat place, and the captain of Nadu should have attacked with the soldiers condescendingly, but he wasted time there and hastily lined up. was rushed by the warrior with the armor, and the gap was knocked out when he boarded, and then several follow-up armor soldiers cut in, and the formation collapsed on the spot, and the captain of the capital was able to block a knife, and he was pierced in the chest by a shot, and the spear shook, and he was provoked. The rest of the soldiers fought separately, and they were killed with a pillar of incense.
The rise of fishermen's killing was to deliberately surrender, and they did not accept it, but just cut it with a knife.
Once the island was broken, the water gate was opened. Dozens of large and small ships had already gathered outside the water gate, and they immediately swarmed in.
The first to rush into the camp were all small boats. These small boats did not take the ship, but kept interspersing into the water village, while constantly throwing fire starters at the warships of the Taihu Water Division. Oil was poured on the ignition and burned wherever it was splashed. In addition to more than 30 warships, there are more than a dozen other auxiliary ships in the water village, and the ships are scrambling to anchor and want to leave, and they are in a mess in the water village.
At this time, the fishing boats of Taihu Lake are rushing in, and the chaos is even more out of control. Xie Tonghe didn't dare to board the boat on the shore, but just signaled and ordered the three thousand-stone ships to set sail as soon as possible, fight a bloody way, and rush to the lake.
These three thousand-stone ships are the main force of the Taihu Lake water camp. However, Zhang Qiao, the battalion commander on the ship, also had a hard time. At this time, the sergeants on board were complete, but some sailors, especially some of them, took advantage of the chaos and did not get on board. At this time, the wind direction is unfavorable, and some small boats start quickly, run to the front of the big boat, and are washed away by the Taihu Lake fishing boat, and some small boats hide to the side of the Qianshi boat, which makes the Taihu fishing boat not able to attack the Qianshi boat, but it also makes the start of the big boat more difficult.
Seeing Xie Tonghe's order to break through, Zhang Qiao ordered some soldiers to go down to the bilge to be a paddleman, and regardless of the small boats in front of him and around him, he wanted to force his way out. In the night, a small boat could not dodge, so it was directly hit by the waist and immediately broke in two. The Qianshi big boat was also shocked, making a sore sound, and even Zhang Qiao stumbled and almost fell. At this time, he didn't care about the damage, but he ignored the order, and rushed out of the village with three thousand-stone ships.
Those fishermen's small boats are not entangled with the big boats of the sailors, but only with the small and medium-sized boats of the sailors, which makes the water village even more chaotic.
There were three large ships of 1,000 stones at the head, and several large and medium-sized warships of 800 stone and 600 stone followed. With these six or seven main ships rushing out of the water village, on the Taihu Lake, there may not be no strength to fight! Zhang Qiao contacted the boats behind him by the light, and learned that another battalion commander was also on one of the ships, and immediately regained his confidence, so he ordered all the men to rush out of the village at full speed.
Just rushed out of the mouth of the water village, but Zhang Qiao's heart sank. I saw a dozen or so six-masted or seven-masted boats cruising outside the water village, and when the three thousand-stone ships rushed out of the village, they rushed up like hungry tigers. On both sides of the Shuizhai mouth, there were more than a dozen fireboats with strikers inserted in the bow and fire-starters piled up on board, and they went straight to the several big boats that followed behind.
These damn fishermen! It's a thousand-stone warship that wants to take the water division! Zhang Qiao instantly understood the intentions of the fishermen in Taihu Lake.
————
In the water village, the fire is soaring into the sky, and it is getting more and more intense.
Looking at this situation, the water village of Wuyue Taihu Lake Sailor is irretrievable, and it depends on how many boats Taihu Lake Sailor can escape. However, looking at the arrangement of the fishermen in Taihu Lake, Li Congyi doesn't think that Wu Yue's sailor can have much success.
However, Li Congyi is not having a good time now.
The first group of boats from the Taihu fishermen was too close to the water village of the water division, so they couldn't take care of Li Congyi's boat. But in the second layer of defense is the main ship of the Taihu Lake fishing boats. At that time, two six-masted ships and several small boats were divided to besiege the Huzhou ship.
Li Congyi came to Huzhou this time, who would have thought that there would be a war. Therefore, don't think about spears, crossbows and arrows, that is, swords, shields and bows and arrows. Fortunately, Li Congyi's guards all brought armor, and there were only ten sets of iron armor, which was not enough for the rest of the people to have armor or paper armor.
At the beginning, the two sides shot each other with bows and arrows, and the fishermen were both soft bows, so they were not opponents. However, several small boats rushed to the nearest place, but they loaded stones with nets, and when they grabbed the round, they threw themselves into the big boats, and broke their tendons and fractures when they hit it. The boat is like a flat ground on the Taihu Lake, the speed of the boat is very fast, it rushes through both sides of the Huzhou boat, and throws it with a long and concentrated throw, dozens of steps away, and the long one comes through the air, even the iron armor can not stand it.
Li Congyi's guards plus the Wen family's guards totaled about forty people. The bow and stern sides of the ship were arranged with some people, and Li Congyi didn't even have reserve troops. Before the broadside was received, eight people had been lost, Li Congyi did not dare to be in the big support, so he let go of the two sides immediately, and only arranged more than ten people in the bow and stern, and then used ten people as a reserve force.
On a six-masted boat opposite, Shi Deping, the thirteenth master, sneered repeatedly, and ordered people to prepare to jump to seize the ship. The order given to him by the big boss Han Shi was to take it if it could be taken and withdraw if it was not easy to take it, and to make every effort to eliminate the Taihu Lake Water Division. But this Huzhou boat called the police to the sailors, how many more people died in the water villages of Taihu Lake, how could it be spared? As soon as Shi Deping fought just now, he knew that the guards on this ship were not weak, but the ants bit the elephant to death, and even if he put himself on it today, he would cut off the head of the leading official!
At this time, Li Congyi also had to be armored with the help of Gu Dazhuang. Li Congyi didn't expect these Taihu Lake fishermen to be so difficult and unforgiving themselves, which was really much beyond his expectations. It was really a last resort, and Li Congyi could only fight with a knife. However, although Li Congyi insists on exercising and often bragging, Li Congyi doesn't know how many seconds he can hold on to when he really slashes face-to-face like this. But there is no way, these fishermen are red-eyed, and surrender is definitely impossible. Think of this as a filter for the protagonist of the traversal system. Li Congyi comforted himself like this.
Two six-masted boats came up from the left and right, one against the stern and the other on the bow, and then nailed the Huzhou boat with a long boat, and then fishermen jumped out of the boat with knives. Li Congyi held the archers in the cabin on the first floor, and then shot arrows from the window, and several fishermen were hit by arrows and fell into the water in mid-air. But more fishermen jumped over the boats, and there were also archers shooting in this direction, but the two boats were staggered, and the angle of fire was not good, so there was not much threat. Li Congyi ordered the archers to shoot freely to cover the sword and shield soldiers, and then sat in the cabin with a big sword and golden sword, waiting for the result.
The bow and stern of the boat are not large, and more than ten fishermen jump over, which is crowded. Gu Dazhuang at the bow and the platoon commander at the stern were not afraid, but they formed three or three formations, one person attacked and two people covered, or blocked the knife or mended the knife; Then the guards of the Wen family were used to make up for the leaks, and the fishermen who were fighting for each other were killed, and a few people saw that they could not stand, so they jumped into the lake without hesitation. These fishermen have excellent water conditions, and the water temperature is not cool at this time, so they are not worried about drowning.
Shi Deping looked at the opponent's battle formation, and he also gasped in his heart, and he was ruthless in his heart, and ordered the bow and arrow to cover, and actually led the team to jump the gang in person. On the boat on the other side, everyone saw that the Huzhou soldiers were well-trained and there were not many casualties in close combat, and they were afraid in their hearts, but they did not follow for a while.
Shi Deping made a ring knife, the momentum was heavy, and a small shield in front of him was split with a knife, revealing the man's shocked face, the knife was not exhausted, and it was cut on the chest, and the paper armor was really separated like paper, and the person was seriously injured and fell to the ground. But the other two slashed obliquely and stabbed directly, which was a tacit understanding. However, Shi Deping was short, and the ring knife in his hand changed from a flat slash to a flat slash, swinging away the straight stab, and flashing the oblique slash.
Shi Deping immediately changed his defense to attack, and the ring knife was raised again, directly taking the soldier without a shield in front of him, and the soldier could not return the knife, but fortunately, the side partner waved the shield in time to block. The two knew that they were invincible, and hurriedly retreated. As soon as the two retreated, Shi Deping took a step forward on the side, but with a knife, he slashed at the Huzhou soldiers on the side. The man hurriedly returned the knife, only one blow The knife in his hand flew out of his hand, and the second knife was carried with a small shield, and the shield was broken and killed.
Seeing that the second three-person team is also going to be repulsed, but how much space can there be on the bow deck? Gu Dazhuang hurriedly stepped forward, and a squad leader followed. Shi Deping saw someone rushing up, but he just slashed at it. The shield broke but was not dead, Gu Dazhuang took a step back, and relied on half a small shield to unload his remaining strength. Then a person on the side slashed at him, and Shi Deping could block it with a knife. Gu Dazhuang was idle, and immediately stabbed one after another, just attacking with all his might; The captain of the side shift held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, but he just tried his best to cover Gu Dazhuang, and he also stabbed him coldly. The rest of the fishermen couldn't be rescued, so they watched Shi Deping block left and right, falling behind.
Shi Deping kept retreating, and after a while, he leaned on the boat gang, and there was no way out. Seeing that the other party was slashed again, and the other knife was stabbed straight over, there was no choice but to be stabbed and block the slash, so he turned over and jumped off the boat. The stab cut a big hole in Shi Deping's thigh.
Shi Deping jumped into the lake, and the few remaining Taihu fishermen on the deck also jumped out of boat. The guards rushed forward, cut off the spears nailed to the side of the ship, and freed themselves from the entanglement of the two ships. In the lower cabin, the paddleman also ignored the threat of the archers and slingers in the surrounding boats, opened the plank, and rowed desperately.
The two boats no longer pursued, but stopped to salvage the fishermen who had fallen overboard. Shi Deping was also hard, he was stabbed in the thigh, and he was fished up, but he was hastily bandaged, looking at the Huzhou boat in the distance, his face was still full of fierceness, and he couldn't wait to choose someone to eat. Shuizhaikou was still in the melee, and the big boss Han Shi kept calling signals, urging the two boats here to join the battle, Shi Deping had to give up the idea of chasing the Huzhou boat with hatred, and turned around and went to the center of the battlefield.
