Chapter 340: The Decisive Battle of Yanzhou (9)

It's getting dark.

The people in Puyang City were already sleeping soundly, and they were awakened by the vibration of Tai Shici's iron horse, so they all got up and wanted to go out to check, but soon the people found that martial law was being implemented on the street, prohibiting people from going to the street at will, and no one was allowed to approach the city gate for any reason.

However, the people have no complaints, Zhuang Shaoyou has taken over Puyang for a year, and the political achievements of the people in the city are obvious to all, although the wealth is not enough, but at least they can eat and drink enough, and they have clothes to wear when they are cold.

Although Puyang has been besieged for nearly a month, there is no sign of chaos in the city, everything is still orderly, just a little nervous, today I learned that there is a big war outside the city, the people have gone home and began to offer incense, praying for Zhuang Shaoyou, expecting General Zhuang to defeat the chaotic soldiers outside the city, and then continue to bring a stable and peaceful life to Puyang.

In the waterway of the Yellow River in the north of the city, Mo Yu spent two quarters of an hour mobilizing the water division, and then took the initiative to meet the water division towards the Wei family.

Mo Yu stood on the deck of the flagship, his eyes blazing at the Yellow River Gang in front of him.

After receiving the order of the head of the Yellow River Gang, Wei Xian, he led his army to the pier in the north of the city, preparing to confront Zhuang Shao's water division.

But it backfired, the poor Yellow River Gang met Mo Yu, who was eager to fight, because he had received an order to go all out, so the big boss did not dare to retreat, so he could only bite the bullet and connect with Mo Yu's first brigade.

The big boss has been on the Yellow River for more than 20 years, and he can be regarded as an old man, and he has not done much to make a living by robbing houses and houses, so he knows everything about the water master, but since last year, the rampant Yellow River Gang has encountered opponents.

There was a Zhuang Shaoyou in southern Liaoning, the people were very violent, killed He Jin, beat Yuan Shao away, and then led the army away, the people were also violent, the soldiers were also violent, and even the sailors were also violent.

The first brigade always had seven five-masted warships, plus fourteen four-masted warships, two of which were still cooperating with the cavalry to break through in the east, so there were only 19 warships on the river today, while the Yellow River Gang had more than 700 small warships and more than 14,000 sailors, which had an absolute advantage in numbers.

But this can't bring the slightest sense of security to the big boss, if the three-masted warship is comparable to the flagship of the big boss, then the four-masted warship is a behemoth to the Yellow River Gang, and the five-masted warship is a complete nightmare! The height of the deck of the five-masted warship is nearly twice as high as that of the main warship of the Yellow River Gang! Not to mention the gap in weapons! What to fight for such a big ship? There is absolutely no way to do it except fire attack!

Therefore, when he saw Mo Yu leading the sailors to rush over directly, the big boss reluctantly collected his mind, forced himself to calm down, and then ordered the hundreds of small boats that had been prepared long ago to be set on fire, and then put them down the river, intending to use this only fire attack to deal with Mo Yu.

After the big boss gave the order, he sat back in his seat, poured a pot of herbal tea, suppressed the shock, and then scolded with a long sigh of relief: "What a fucking madman! Fortunately, Lao Tzu kept a hand, otherwise he would have died today! ”

Mo Yu saw that the hundreds of small boats in front of him densely occupied the entire river, and he snorted coldly disdainfully, and gave an order: "Pass my military order!" Bed crossbows are aimed at places where fireships are densely populated, and a salvo is fired! After the first round of shooting, it was changed to a long snake formation, with the five-masted warships in front and the four-masted warships all behind! ”

The herald began to wave the flag, and the rest of the ships soon received the order to aim at the fireboats, and after a volley, half of the fireboats of the Yellow River Gang were smashed.

Seeing this, Mo Yu smiled slightly: "Very good!" The whole army accelerates the formation! The five-masted warship activates the human oars! Rush over! The rest of the ships followed up the assault! ”

Mo Yu's flagship took the lead and rammed towards the remaining fireships, followed by the remaining six five-masted warships.

When the big boss heard the news, he ran to the deck to check, he didn't know if he didn't see it, he was startled when he saw it, and the big boss's eyes were about to fall out, and the hundred fireships that had been carefully prepared were already silent for most of the time, and a small part of them went down the road.

The wreckage of two small ships hung on Mo Yu's flagship, still burning violently, and several small boats hanging on the five-masted warships behind were also burning. The big boss breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he added batting nails to the fireship.

"Humph! As long as you can sink a few of these big ships, it will definitely be a great achievement! Those hundred ships, it's worth it! ”

Mo Yu still stood on the foredeck with his head held high, looking at the burning boat below, and said disdainfully: "The boat built by our Mo family, how can you and a group of miscellaneous fish imagine it?" Want to burn by fire? Don't count on a whole day! ”

It is no wonder that Mo Yu is so confident, and with the in-depth exploration of Changbai Mountain in eastern Liaodong, he found a pomelo in the mountain. Soak it in tung oil for a month, open it in the sun, soak it again, and then open it in the sun, and so on three times, the teak will become light and strong, and it is also fireproof, and the general flame can't burn through it at all!

The soldiers on the warship quickly carried buckets of water from the ship, and the fire of the fireship hanging on the warship quickly became much smaller, and there was no need to worry, at least after this battle, there was no need to worry about the hull being burned!

Mo Yu immediately ordered: "The whole army accelerates the assault!" Bed crossbows, crossbow machines shoot freely! ”

The big boss of the Yellow River Gang was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat, preparing to run away, as for the order of the head of the Wei family, he had already forgotten about it, so let's talk about it if he can survive first!

A strange scene was staged on the waterway of the Yellow River, with less than 20 large ships and more than 600 small boats running wildly.

While looking back to check on the enemy, the boss kept urging his men to row hard.

When the naval divisions of the two armies in the north of the city first began to engage in battle, it was east of Puyang City.

Tai Shi Ci led his troops to bypass Guan Hai's phalanx and advance at full speed to the northeast, while Chun Yuqiong led 10,000 elite Jizhou troops to quickly chase after him.

Tai Shi Ci carefully observed Chun Yuqiong's movements, and couldn't help frowning, this guy is really well prepared! After pondering for a moment, he immediately ordered: "The whole army turns to the north!" Go to the Yellow River waterway! ”

Tai Shi Ci's turn, Chun Yuqiong was taken aback, but quickly figured out Tai Shi Ci's plan, the north is the Yellow River, and the river beach is full of soft mud and sand, although it is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry, but it is also unfavorable to the infantry! What's even worse is that it is close to the river, which is within the range that Zhuang Shao Swimmer can control, and the defense that was previously laid there is very weak!

Chun Yuqiong also made a decision immediately: "The whole army is heading north, and the target is the Yellow River waterway advancing at full speed!" Someone came, pass my order, inform the original defense line to extend to the north, and be sure to seal the river beach to the north! Those who violate the order will be killed! ”

Tai Shici's cavalry ran wildly, Chun Yuqiong also advanced at full speed, and the defense line of the Eastern Route Coalition Army also began to extend to the north.

A race against time has begun!
