The naval battle that Jia and Yu had expected did not materialize.

After arriving at the sea east of Butterfly Island, the Mingzhou Navy Division rested for another night, and then advanced to Butterfly Island in the early morning of the next day, arriving at the sea area of Butterfly Island in the early morning. At this time, the ships of Taihu Kou on Butterfly Island had just gone to sea.

Seeing dozens of warships approaching, the ships rushed to flee, some of them fled far away, but many more fled to Butterfly Island. Jia Heyu also saw some boats that cast nets to fish, so they didn't even want the fishing nets, but just fled desperately.

After approaching Butterfly Island for more than ten miles, I saw that the fishing boat port on Butterfly Island was in a mess. This port is just a little tidy up according to the island's situation, and it can be used for ships to berth. At this time, the boats poured in, and there was no suitable place for the fishermen to disembark. Many boats ran aground, and fishermen jumped off their boats and fled to the island.

Jia Heyu noticed that several big ships from Taihu Kou were not here. There were two thousand-stone warships, and an eight-hundred-stone warship, and it is said that when they went down the Wusong River, they also grabbed several five- or six-hundred-stone ships. None of these big ships are there.

Jia Heyu felt a little uneasy in his heart. But there is no wolf smoke on the island.

Could it be that the main force of Taihu Kou is going out? Jia Heco's heart was beating wildly, and attacking Butterfly Island like this was a gesture.

Taihu Kou, Taihu Kou, you deserve to be unlucky. Jia Heco's heart blossomed, so he ordered the boats to assault Butterfly Island, carry the soldiers ashore, and be sure to break the island pirates' lair before noon. He also ordered the main fleet to patrol outside, and even sent a number of small boats to go in all directions, in case the main warships of the Taihu Kou suddenly returned to the division to kill the horse pistol.

Thousands of sailors in Mingzhou flocked ashore.

When the first team went ashore, Jia Heyu also raised a heart. Unexpectedly, the Taihu Kou did not deploy defenses on the beachhead at all, nor did they counterattack, and they actually rushed to the beach, the most difficult and dangerous link, and just passed.

Taihu Kou, what a group of fishermen! Jia Heyi couldn't help but feel contemptuous, and couldn't help but slander those Taihu Lake sailors, how rotten must they be to let these fishermen be wiped out?

When the three battalions came ashore one after another, Jia Heyu felt that the big thing had been decided, so he no longer cared about the specific battle, and drank tea with Cao Peng, the capital supervisor.

The one who went ashore to command was the commander of Wang Chi. When Wang Chi came ashore, he found that something was tricky. Taihu Kou completely abandoned the beachhead, and there was also a basis. Butterfly Island is not large, and many cliffs divide the island's terrain. When Taihu Kou defended it, he only needed to be responsible for this defense line that was hundreds of steps wide. The commander of the battalion that was the first to go ashore attacked several times, but all of them retreated, breaking dozens of people.

The leeward side of the island is quite gentle, but Taihu Kou dug a ditch early here. And this ditch is also particular, digging soil on the inside and filling in the outside. Wu Yuejun finally rushed to the ditch, but found that there was another ditch behind, and the Taihu Kou kept shooting arrows behind the ditch, and the Taihu Kou on the first ditch counterattacked from the left and right. The battalion rushed forward with two teams, barely making a gap, but failed to follow up and retreated.

"To stand on the ditch, you need a big shield to weigh Party A." The battalion commander made a request, believing that a rash reattack would be a death.

What the sailor lacks is heavy armor. On the one hand, heavy armor is too expensive, and the army is insufficient; On the other hand, the sailor usually does not focus on the armor, otherwise he will fall into the water and be dragged down by the heavy armor, which is a dead word. However, the large shield in the sailor is enough.

Wang Chi ordered the soldiers to wear three layers of paper armor, hold a large shield, and gather two teams to attack again. This time, it took a full two quarters of an hour to stand on the first ditch before retreating. The reason is that the terrain is limited, and the attacker cannot use it. Taihu Kou can be condescending and besiege on three sides, while the Wu Yue army on the beachhead is blocked by earthen ramparts, and they can't see what is happening on the battlefield.

"This rampart is too much of a hindrance! It's better to dig up a little harder. The battalion commander shouted again.

"All the adults are deployed to ask for the enemy to be destroyed before noon, don't mention this kind of thing again." Wang Chi said with a hesitant face. If he could, he would like to divide a battalion and sail around to another beach to create another battlefield.

The left and right are to fight with Taihu Kou to consume.

At this time, Han Shi looked at the injured soldiers of the Taihu Zhuzhai who had retreated, and his heart was also painful. Wu Yue's water division lacked armor, and the Taihu Lake villages were even more lacking, so they relied on snatching dozens of pairs of armor and paper armor from the officers and soldiers. The Taihu Zhuzhai is not accustomed to foot warfare, and it is also thanks to the soldiers of Ningguo who sent some archers to participate in the battle, so as to suppress the archers of the Wuyue army's water division, otherwise the casualties of the Zhuzhai will be greater.

However, Han Shi did not ask Wu Feixing for help, and Wu Feixing and the battalion commander Zhao Kai did not speak. It's only been half an hour, if the Ning Guojun is forced to invest, it can certainly collapse the Wu Yue army that came ashore, but what if the Mingzhou Navy Division is scared away? Li Congyi's request is that if the expected third party does not come, then the Taihu Zhuzhai will hold on for at least one day, and wait until tomorrow morning, Li Congyi will not wait any longer, but lead the army to attack.

Han Shi saw that Wu Yuejun was deploying troops on the beachhead, and immediately said, "If you don't beat Wu Yuejun once, you will fight with us again and again at the level of the capital, so we can't fight." This time, I personally led the team. ”

Shi Deping on the side also said, "Big boss, then you are left and I are right, flanked from both sides, and squeezed some of the Wu Yue soldiers down the earth fortress to annihilate them." ”

The masters of the Taihu Lake villages are accustomed to fighting water wars, so Han Shi also brought the second master Yu Fengping to the island. The original three masters died in battle, and the new three masters did not have so much appeal, Han Shi also brought Yu Fengping to the island, and actually handed over the entire Taihu Zhuzhai naval army to Jiang Guogong. However, Shi Deping said that he wanted to accompany the head of Wu Feixing, so he also followed him to the island.

When Wu Feixing heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "If the two leaders drive part of Wu Yue's army to the base and isolate the earth base, I will organize two platoons to assist you in annihilating the enemy army under the base." ”

Not long after, Wang Chi organized another attack, this time Wang Chi planned to form a wheel tactic, that is, the two teams retreated, and the other two teams went up again, as long as the first ditch stood firm, the second ditch defense line was longer, Taihu Kou was more difficult to defend, and Wu Yue's army could also press more soldiers and horses.

Wang Chi looked at the sky and secretly thought that it might be possible to achieve a breakthrough before noon. However, the reality is like a basin of cold water, which pours Wang Chi to the heart.

Wu Yuejun two teams, attacking upwards, naturally could not gather hedgehogs in one place, but formed three small groups with large shields, one large and two small, and marched together to attack. When they arrived at the earthen fortress, there were archers who scattered slightly, relying on the earthen fortress to shoot at the Taihu Kou. The sword and shield soldiers and spearmen climbed into the earthen fortress and tore apart the Taihu Kou. The two sides are in close arms, and as soon as they engage, flesh and blood fly.

The soldiers of Taihu Lake Zhuzhai can be regarded as having seen blood, and there is no way to retreat at this time, and they know that Party B has strong reinforcements and then side, so they will not retreat an inch, and Wu Yuejun will rely on the big shield spear to defend as an attack, and one step will be one step if they advance. Seeing that there was a team squeezing into the earthen fortress nearby, Wang Chi was thinking that Taihu Kou would not be able to support it. Suddenly, I heard a shout from the island, and then the sound of killing shook the sky, and the two teams of Taihu Kou came out from behind the earthen fortress, and the archers and a small number of sword and shield hands outside the earthen fortress were caught off guard, and they were killed in all directions.

These two teams of Taihu Kou are really elite, and the top ten people in each team have armor, forming two sharp teams, and they cut into the weak point of Wu Yuejun's flank. The two captains on the slope did not panic, one took advantage of the situation to squeeze into the base, and the other retreated a little, avoiding the edge, and then rolled back again, actually trying to stick to the Taihu Kou who counterattacked.

The battlefield is too small, and Wang Chi is not in a hurry to invest in the new force. Just ordered another team of archers to come forward to help, and the team under the base better stood firm.

At this time, the captain of the capital in the earthen fortress realized that the situation was not good. First, the archers on the second ditch were replaced by crossbowmen, and the crossbows were dense, and the crossbows were so powerful that the arrows could pierce the big shields, and the soldiers who could not be covered by the big shields fell one after another. And there were a few unicycles on the left and right, the captain had never seen this kind of car, but the blade of the gun on the car was shining, Taihu Kou pushed the car and collided, the big shields on both sides could not be supported, the big shield fell, followed by three rounds of crossbow arrows, Wu Yuejun fell down like cutting wheat, and then the sword and shield soldiers bullied forward, and everyone was wearing iron armor, just like a hot knife cutting butter, and smashed the turtle array of this team on the spot.

Wu Yue behind the fortress was surrounded on all sides, and there was really no way to escape, except for a few who saw the opportunity quickly, and quickly abandoned their weapons and surrendered, that is, the commander of the capital was also cut off in the head. The Xuanzhou soldiers cleaned up the battlefield tightly, removed the weapons and carried the wounded soldiers away, and mended the knives one by one for the Wu Yue army, and tried to clean up the traces of the crossbow arrows as much as possible, so they beckoned Han Shi and Shi Deping to withdraw to the earthen fortress.

And the captain of the base waited for a while, and then organized a big shield to rush up to the earthen fortress, and seeing the corpses everywhere, Wu Yuejun finally collapsed and quickly retreated.

Wu Yuejun's losses this time were really heavy, especially when the sergeants and soldiers who entered the earthen fortress were completely annihilated, which dealt a very big blow to morale. After that, Wang Chi organized two more teams to rush, but they quickly retreated.

Wu Yuejun originally thought that there would be a fierce battle at sea, but it didn't; I thought there would be a fierce battle on the beachhead, but it still didn't, including the initial attack on the earth base, and I didn't feel a lot of pressure. Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, fifty or sixty people were gone, and the impact was too great, and it suddenly achieved the unfavorable effect of one blow at a time, then declining, and three times exhausted.

Wang Chi had no choice but to go to Jia Heyu. Jia Hefu and Cao Peng have drunk tea for three rounds, Wang Chi is still on the beachhead and there is no movement, Jia Hefu patiently listens to his explanation, but Cao Peng is yin and yang, and satirizes Wang Chi and others for being incompetent.

This earthen rampart is a bit strange, it is not possible to do it in three or two days, this is a pit dug waiting for us to come. Jia Heshu chuckled in his heart. At this time, it was almost noon, and there was still no news of the invincible ship around, so he decided to go ashore to supervise the battle in person. He also ordered another battalion to be drawn from the ships and go around to another beach to create another battle.
