Late September of the third year of Taichu.
In the Sui army's Xiaoshidao water village, Zhou Faming was inspecting the water village.
As the Sui army continued to retreat and the navy suffered serious losses, he and Zhou Fashang were sent to support.
"The water stronghold here is directly facing the Huai Army's navy. The Huai Army will definitely launch an attack here. General Gong Lang, are you sure to block the Huai Army's offensive?
When Zhou Faming was patrolling, he was followed by General Lang and other captains from the water village.
After taking a look around the water village's defense system, Zhou Faming nodded slightly in approval.
Facing the huge threat from the Huai army, Shuizhai did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Once there is a loophole in the defense, General Lang and the captain in the water village will be defeated and die.
However, upon hearing Zhou Faming's words, Gong Lang from Shuizhai's face twisted slightly.
There are less than four thousand soldiers and horses in his water stronghold, and the Xiaoshidao water stronghold is only one of the fulcrums of the naval defense line.
Listening to Zhou Faming's words, it was as if he was a general responsible for resisting the Huai army on the front line.
How to block the Huai army's offensive...
Being able to withstand the fierce attack of the Huai army navy for a day is the blessing of the Buddha.
"I have long heard that the two brothers Zhou Fashang and Zhou Faming are of extraordinary ability. General Zhou Fashang has the talent of a general, while Zhou Faming can at most be a captain in the army..."
"With such pretentiousness and gesticulation, I'm afraid the rumors are not true!"
Gong Lang will be put in a bad mood by the other party's words.
For him, it would be best if Zhou Faming could bring reinforcements. If not, it would be good to bring some arrows, bows and crossbows.
But Zhou Faming came empty-handed and looked like he was giving advice.
It really makes people feel unhappy.
However, General Gong Lang only had a wry smile on his face and said: "General, it is clear that the Huai army has a sharp offensive. They often use fierce generals as the vanguard to attack water strongholds, and the navy soldiers are also elite..."
"A few days ago, the water fortresses with tight defenses on the outside could not hold out for even a day under the attack of the Huai army vanguard..."
"To stop the Huai army's attack, only a strong man like the general can take charge personally!"
Zhou Faming frowned slightly and glanced at the general.
Before he could say anything more.
A shrill whistle came from the heights of the water stronghold. This whistle spread throughout the entire water stronghold instantly. All the Sui soldiers in the water stronghold changed their expressions wildly. They quickly came to the warship and picked up their weapons.
This is a sign of danger.
"The Huai Army Navy is here!"
"Get aboard quickly, quickly! Quickly!"
In an instant, the entire water village was like a pot of porridge exploding.
Many soldiers and generals looked at him with fear in their eyes and felt uneasy in their hearts. Among them were the defeated soldiers who had fought with the Huai Army Navy a few days ago.
According to Qian Shixiong's idea, after the front line of water stronghold defense is breached, the remaining defeated soldiers can retreat to the second island chain to strengthen the strength of the second water stronghold.
However, these remaining defeated generals were constantly defeated, and when they heard about the Huai Army Navy, their courage dropped by half.
The more times they lose, the lower their morale becomes.
Under their influence, those soldiers who had never fought with the Huai Army Navy began to panic in their hearts.
Suddenly faced with such a situation.
Zhou Faming's expression changed drastically, while General Gong Lang strode towards the height of the building ship, and the other generals quickly followed.
When everyone came to the place, they looked outside.
I saw that the light mist in the morning had begun to dissipate, and on the water in the distance, densely packed warships like giant beasts lined up one after another, overwhelming the sky.
Just one glance gives people an overwhelming and overwhelming power.
Building ships, warships, stern ships, assault ships...
Gu Tan
In September, the lake is clear and clear, and thousands of sails carry a gentle breeze.
There are thousands of warships, so vast. It seems to cover the entire lake.
"The Huai army navy is coming out in full force. They are going to fight our army for a decisive battle!"
Gong Langjiang's voice was trembling.
After seeing the scene in the distance, Zhou Faming's hands trembled a little and his face looked very ugly.
"How could the Huai army be so sudden?"
His heart was shaken and uneasy.
woo woo woo woo!
The dull sound of horns came from the Huai Army warships in the distance. The sound of the horns filled the entire water area with a solemn and evil aura.
Xiaoshidao Water Village, Bainiaoshan Water Village, Changqing Island Water Village...
These Sui navy's fulcrum on Gaoyou Lake, after the peripheral water fortresses were breached, faced the numerous water fortresses threatened by the Huai army, and at the same time saw the mighty navy of the Huai army.
The sharp alarm whistle seemed to spread throughout the nearby waters, causing many Sui soldiers in the water village to panic.
The clipper who reported the battle situation was desperately trying to spread the news to the Sanxing Island camp.
boom!
The drums on the Huai Army's naval flagship rang loudly, and various naval forces and guerrilla generals from various places began to lead a dozen warships to fly quickly according to the plan made in advance.
They were like extremely sharp blades, quickly interspersing among the various water villages before the Sui navy navy left the camp.
With three to four hundred warships, the Sui army's defense network, which was interconnected like a spider web, was cut into independent areas.
The discerning generals of the Sui army could see the consequences of the defense system being cut, and they roared and led the warships to actively kill the enemy forces who cut the waterways.
In the blink of an eye.
The Huai army and the Sui army immediately entered into a fierce fight.
On the building ship of the Huai Army Navy.
Wang Jing, surrounded by civil and military personnel, held a monocular telescope made of spiritual stone from the Construction Department and looked at the battlefield more than ten miles ahead.
"Cut off the enemy's water stronghold, then divide and destroy them... This is a good method!"
Through the telescope, Wang Jing saw that Tang Shengzong and his troops were launching a mad attack on one of the water villages. After suppressing the opponent with kerosene bombs, he led the warships in a rampage.
Braving the rain of arrows, he directly penetrated the enemy's water stronghold.
It can be seen that Tang Shengzong himself was on the same level on the warship and was not affected at all, but the soldiers under his command were somewhat uncomfortable with water warfare.
Tang Shengzong's soldiers did not receive systematic training.
It seemed a bit noisy, and there were inevitably some collisions while driving, blocking each other's path.
But this cannot affect the morale of the soldiers.
Under the leadership of Tang Shengzong, they rushed into the Sui army's water stronghold like a dragon, shouting wildly. When they approached the enemy warship, they rained arrows, knocking over many Sui soldiers.
Then there were brave people who drove the stern into the enemy warships and engaged in a broadside battle.
In the midst of a brutal fight.
The soldiers on both sides fell into the water one after another like dumplings being dropped. Some soldiers who did not die in the battle were screaming and crying in the water.
"kill!"
Tang Shengzong's face twitched and he gritted his teeth and roared. In the short period of time after rushing into the water village, the three thousand elites he had carefully selected were reduced by hundreds.
Some elite soldiers should have protected themselves based on their strength.
But on the chaotic battlefield, arrows rained down like rain, the fighting was fierce, and accidents kept happening. There were even hundreds of families in the army who were shot to death by random arrows before they even came to the side.
The lake was filled with water, and in the sight of Wang Jing and many civil servants, the blood gradually faded in the water.
It can be clearly seen from a long distance away.
