Heze Lake, another splendid pearl on the Tianhe waterway, in the Tianhe Lake group, pick up the water area, ranking second, the location is between Zhongzhou and Qingzhou.

When the imperial army of eight states encircled and suppressed the Tang army in Zhongzhou, the Qingyang coalition army commanded by Prince Qing fought with the Tang army all the way near the Heze Great Lake, and the Xiangyang naval army that defected to the Tang army at that time also went down the river from Xiangyang and entered the Heze Great Lake.

Here, the Yangzhou naval army was defeated one after another, and the Heze naval army camp was established, and with the change of the situation, the naval army stationed here was divided into two, and the main force went upstream again, stationed in the water camp of Zhongzhou Nankou, obliquely facing the Poyang Haikou, and the water battalion left in Heze Lake was in the imperial princes to support the army and respect themselves, and did not listen to the greetings, the pressure of the Tang army was greatly reduced, and the spare strength began to build warships and expand the naval division.

It can be said that at present, the two most powerful water divisions of the Tang Army are on the Tianhe River, both of which were developed from the original Xiangyang Water Army, one is the Nankou Water Division, and the other is the Heze Water Division.

Heze Lake Estuary, a gourd mouth road as long as more than ten miles, a huge sailor fish out of the whole fleet, with more than 1,700 large and small warships, divided into three main water camps, and in each water camp, there are three large building warships, more than 30 small building warships, five or six hundred ships, shark ships, flying fish, boats, grasshoppers, and grasshopper flying boats.

The three major water battalions draw out of the mouth of the lake in order, and then form three weaving shuttle shapes, the large building warship is in the center, the small building warship surrounds the book, the flying fish is in front, the two wings of grasshoppers, the front and rear are respectively shark boats, ships and other medium-sized warships, forming a zigzag shape against the current.

"What a fleet!" beneath the surface of the water a few miles behind this huge fleet. The Ghost Success dived into the water, diving under the surface at an ordinary speed, even if you looked down from the sky, at most you could only see a dark shadow under the surface, thinking it was just a big fish.

The captain of the Chenggong is Zheng Chenggong, who is also the owner of this ship, Zheng Chenggong and his ghost Chenggong were hiding in Suzhou Mirror Lake, and then they finally entered the sea along the river.

The Ghost Success entered the sea, which can be described as the return of the dragon to the sea. In addition, Leng Zhuo had the intention to hide the Chenggong and use it as a hole card, so the operation of the Chenggong was very independent, and after Zheng Chenggong commanded the Chenggong to enter the sea, he launched an attack on the lone ships of the Japanese who were rampant in the coastal area.

Due to the fact that the powerful fleet of the Japanese completely defeated the imperial Yangzhou naval army in the Penglai Islands, there were no imperial warships off the coast of Yangzhou, and the Japanese ships were very rampant, although they later withdrew from Suzhou. However, the Japanese who saw through the reality of the empire did not return all, but left a part of the empire to start an unlimited raid on the borders of the empire.

The plundered gold and silver, the cargo loaded with ships will be sent back to the Penglai Islands, it can be said that every day on the sea can meet such large and small ships full of booty, and these also became the hunting target of the Chenggong, for the next year, the ghost is like a ghost on the sea. Attacking the Japanese ships in all directions. There are more than 200 pieces of size, gold and silver seized, and countless materials, which have become the capital of Zhou Yu's formation of the Suzhou Water Army, and the Suzhou Water Army led by Su Dingfang and the veteran Liu Renliang has gradually gained scale and has become a force that cannot be ignored in Suzhou.

After a year of cruising at sea, the cherry blossom department that was plundered in Suzhou finally digested a large amount of wealth. Subsequently, a war was waged against other daimyo on the island, and this war was also known as the Sakura Unification War, and with the start of the internal war, there were suddenly many fewer Japanese people on the sea of Yangzhou.

Zheng Chenggong only has a giant whale warship, so it is naturally impossible to attack the Penglai Islands, and if he continues to stay at sea, there is no target worth attacking. Coupled with the information received intermittently, Zheng Chenggong commanded the giant whale Chenggong from the mouth of the Tianhe River into the Tianhe waterway and lurked.

Although the Tianhe waterway is not wider than the sea, it is large enough, and there are large lakes around it. It is also a good place, and the most important thing is that there are a lot of enemy ships here. There are targets to attack everywhere, and two months ago, Zheng Chenggong's warships entered the Heze Lake and frequently attacked the ships on the lake, of course, every time they were clean and neat, without the slightest trace.

Heze sailors lost a lot of ships inexplicably, although there were also speculations, but there was no clue, and there were also some underwater monsters in the Heze Lake, and it was not a rare event to have an accident in this water, and then it was over.

And the Heze sailor killed them didn't expect that their every move was monitored by a ghost of his subordinates, and not far behind them, that ghost was far away.

"My lord, this Heze sailor seems to have exhausted the warships this time, could it be that he is going to launch a new round of offensive against Chuzhou?"

Zheng Chenggong nodded: "It is very likely, the news we got recently was more than a month ago, the young master has formed the Nanwu Legion and marched towards Vermilion Bird City, I can't say that Vermilion Bird City has now been mixed up, and the Tang Army gathered a fleet at this time, and it is very likely that it intends to send a large army to cross the Tianhe River again and completely occupy the three mansions of northern Chu!"

"Then do we want to pass on this information, we are on this Tianhe, it seems that only Xiangyang still has a sailor, I don't know if we can beat the Tang Army's sailor!"

"When the news is ventilated at night, it will be passed on by the Flying Eagle, as for us, continue to follow the Tang Army Sailor, if the other party really has any big moves, we must also be ready for battle!" Zheng Chenggong said.

Just when the Heze Naval Division was going against the water, the Tang Army's Nankou Naval Division had already poured out its nest and took the lead in launching an offensive against the Xiangyang Naval Division on the surface of the Tianhe River, this time it was not a temptation, but a complete water battle.

At this moment, the Xiangyang Sailor on the water is the first sailor, and the commander is Jin Yanzi, and the manpower of this sailor is all the old foundation of the Yangzhou Water Battalion, and it is also the old subordinate of Jin Yanzi.

Water warfare is different from land warfare, on the water, the combat units are based on ships, and hundreds of ships float on the surface of the water, and the number is only a few hundred or thousand, but in fact, it looks like the sails cover the sky and are scattered over a vast body of water.

The advance and retreat of the warship is far less than that on land, you can choose the direction at will, the war drum sounds, you charge, the gong sounds, you retreat, it can be said that the water war, once the two sides start the broadside battle, unless one side wins, it is difficult to exit.

As the arrows rang out, the first water division of the Golden Swallow Du Sanniang and the second water division of Ouyang Lang, who were cruising on the surface of the Tianhe River, immediately began to gather and converge together.

"Send the order flag to the second water division, set up a double dragon formation, occupy the wind direction towards the north, we will catch up, and send another flying fish boat to explore the upstream and downstream of the waterway!" Du Sanniang stood on the largest Lou warship, issuing orders one by one, and the small fleet of Lou warships scattered on the Tianhe waterway as the core approached one after another, forming a long dragon.

Leng Zhuo rode the blue falcon and flew down from the clouds, a wide river surface below appeared in front of him, descending to the clouds, Leng Zhuo clearly saw that the two large fleets of one south and one north were constantly approaching, the south fleet was a long dragon, like a big net, and the north fleet was like a big goose egg, gathering into a group and swarming south.

Before Leng Zhuo could get closer, the first wave of fighting between the two sides had already begun, and the super-large building warships in the Xiangyang Navy Army took the lead in attacking.

The number of super-large building warships is very small, and it is built as the handsome ship among the sailors, and there are only four such super-large building warships in the two major sailors, and on this building warship, there are two giant boom throwing stones, which can be said to be the most high-end equipment on the warship.

And this kind of giant throwing arm stone throwing machine picks up a head, even larger than the largest stone throwing car on land, just throwing the arm has twelve or thirteen zhang, the range is terrifying up to seven or eight miles, and it can throw ten thousand catties of boulders at one time.

Four super building warships, eight giant stone throwers, and twenty-four boulders weighing more than 3,000 catties flew into the air, crossed a graceful parabola, and fell into the dense Tang Army sailor warships with the sound of howling wind.

Bang, a huge column of water rose into the sky, and the huge waves rolled up by the boulder slapped directly on the two boats not far away, and this small and medium-sized warship that was extremely flexible on the water surface was directly overturned by the stirring waves, and dozens of sailors fell to the water.

And this is just luck, a two-masted shark ship is not so lucky, a boulder fell straight from the sky, and then tore the sail fiercely, and then smashed into the cabin between the first and second masts, the deck shattered in an instant, burst up, the boulder castrated, after breaking a deck, smashed again on the cabin partition, and then smashed on the bottom of the ship.

The boiling river water is constantly pouring in from the gap, and the shark ship is the main charging force in a fleet, and the flexible hull and larger hull make them the bodyguard to protect the large building warship, and the killer of the small and medium-sized warship.

Shark ships are generally eleven or twelve feet long, no trebuchet equipment, upper and lower decks, placed with ten large bed crossbows, and can also carry nearly sixty people's water pawns, such a boat, as long as it is not unlucky to be hit by a large stone throw, it is usually difficult to sink, but there is no doubt that this shark ship is an unlucky egg.

Twenty-four boulders are quite accomplished, sinking one shark ship, smashing three ships, overturning eleven, and injuring two medium-sized building warships, leaving an ugly hole in the building warship, but the building warship is not the kind of two-deck warship, even the smallest building warship, there are more than three decks, so the boulder did not penetrate the bottom of the ship, but only stuck on the third deck, but this still caused dozens of casualties.

In addition to being a giant, the Lou Warship is also a large troop carrier, the smallest Lou Warship has three upper and lower cabins, including the upper deck, which can accommodate four hundred sailors, they are the mobile arrow towers on the water, large fortresses.

The large catapult is domineering, but it is also very time-consuming to reload once, and the three heavy stones weighing 10,000 catties alone are not so easy to move, so the two sides are two or three miles closer, and the trebuchet only throws the second round, but as the distance between the two sides is shortened, the large building ship, the trebuchet that is a little worse has also entered the range.

And Tang Jun's building ship was also noisy and busy, and all the huge throwing arms had been pulled down and put into place, ready to deliver a fatal blow. (To be continued)
