Chapter 100 Great Victory
At this time, the front of the Jingzhou water army camp was extremely calm, and the Jingzhou water army did not care about the provocation of the iron war outside the camp.
The naval battalion stretches for more than 20 miles, and there are only five warships in the iron war, which can't effectively kill the Jingzhou naval battalion.
In order to save arrows and physical strength, the Iron War did not rush to attack, but waited for reinforcements while sending people to challenge.
It's a pity that no matter how the iron war is scolded, the Jingzhou navy should not fight, so that the iron war and air power cannot be used. However, he did not intend to give up. The Jingzhou water army could not defeat it and plotted against himself. He really couldn't swallow it.
Seeing that it was getting late, he ordered someone to sail the warship to Jiangxin, and then sent someone back to find Zhou Andao.
"Does this guy belong to the turtle? It's time to climb. These cowards in Jingzhou, when my army comes, we have to step on your water village."
Tie Zhan sat in the bow, looking at the Jingzhou sailor's camp, which had been lit and heavily guarded, and said hatefully.
"General, look, there is a fire over there"
The sentry looking up at the mast suddenly shouted.
Iron Zhan couldn't help but be stunned. He looked in the direction of the sentry's finger and was immediately shocked. He saw the fire on the river in the direction of his sailor's battalion, and he didn't know what it was. The fire in the sky could be seen clearly dozens of miles away.
Although I don't know what's going on, an ominous foreboding still comes to my mind and I'm busy sending someone to take a speedboat to see what's going on.
The people who inquired about the news were sent away, but the more Iron War thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong. They simply didn't care about the Jingzhou navy camp and ordered the fleet to set sail.
At this time, in the Jingzhou water army camp, Lu Qiang and Jiang Dalong, dressed in straight military uniform, were standing on the sentry tower and looking at the iron warships that had been anchored and set sail. Lu Qiang's eyes glanced at the firelight in the distance and couldn't help smiling at the corners of his mouth.
"Your Excellency, please fight"
Lu Qiang knew that the sailors had been waiting for this day for a long time, so he nodded and said, "Go! Let the river become our world from now on"
"I will live up to the expectations of adults"
Jiang Dalong bowed and turned away.
Just like the secret river bay, at this time, countless boats of various kinds were also gathered in the Jingzhou navy camp. After the boats, there were more than 20 thousand warships.
These 20 warships are very deep in water, and I don't know how many soldiers are loaded on them.
Jiang Xiaoyu was born as a bandit. His brother seemed to make a living by fishing. That was because he was afraid that his mother would be sad. Now he turned into an officer and soldier, and his hidden sharpness immediately appeared.
The flag was launched, the gate of the water village slowly opened, and countless boats filed out, followed by 20 warships armed to the teeth.
This is all the strength of Jingzhou sailors. If they lose this battle again, they will really shrink to the land from now on.
Lu Qiang fully supports Jiang Dalong's almost rogue way of playing. War is about winning. No matter what method you use, the result is the most important.
As soon as the iron battle fleet anchored and didn't go far, they received the news that the Jingzhou navy poured out.
At this time, it was getting dark. The boats in front of the Jingzhou navy, which could be called cannon fodder, got on first. Like Zhou Andao just now, each boat was full of flammable things, and the boats were connected by chains, which is why Zhou Andao's warships could not avoid the fire ship. In addition, the boat is also covered with nails. As long as it hits the enemy ship, it will be firmly nailed to the enemy ship by the flow of water.
The small boat is responsible for launching wolf tactics against the Beifu navy, and the 20 warships are going to attack the Beifu navy camp.
The already arrogant Beifu navy, do you think that the Jingzhou navy will do this? In a blink of an eye, he was surrounded by countless fireboats. Soon, a fire also ignited. The Beifu navy saw that it was not good, and they dived and fled for their lives one after another, but they sailed in the heart of the river, and it was not easy to swim to the shore. Therefore, many Beifu water troops swam to Jingzhou water army warships for help.
Iron War is also filled with water. Although he can order dog shavings, what's the use of this water on the river? If the soldiers hadn't rescued him ashore, I'm afraid they would have to feed the bastard.
Standing on the shore and looking at the warship that lit a raging fire, Tie Zhan couldn't help crying loudly. He knew that Zhou Andao must have suffered the same fate as him. When the Beifu sailor was finished, just like Xunyang, he also died at his hands.
Tie Zhan cried wildly at Dajiang's nose. A personal soldier quietly pulled him and whispered, "General... General, we are surrounded"
"Hmm?"
The iron war suddenly stopped crying and turned its head, but suddenly found that at some point, Jingzhou soldiers standing around them were full of torches.
The first man is tall, with a mocking smile on his face, but he is not Lu Qiang, who he hates the most?
"Ah!... I fought with you"
The iron war roared and was about to pounce on Lu Qiang, but was pulled by the soldiers.
"Brother Tie, although you have repeatedly insulted me, for the sake of an acquaintance, I will let you go this time, but I suggest that you don't go back to the water army camp, or go straight back to Jiankang! Seeing General Liu Yu, say hello to him for me."
"What, you... Won't you kill me?"
Although the iron war is reckless, it is not at all scheming. In fact, it is not just him. How many people can really face it calmly before life and death?
Lu Qiang smiled and said, "Haven't you always wanted to fight with me? If you are injured now, you are not my opponent. I can't do anything in danger, so I let you go this time, but it won't be so cheap next time."
"Okay, surnamed Lu, Tie Moujing, you are a man. I will take back what I used to scold you. Next time, we will never die and say goodbye."
Tie Zhan raised his legs and left. He really didn't want to see Lu Qiang's triumphant face again.
Lu Qiang ordered people to dodge the road and watched Tie Zhan and his party disappear in the dark. He couldn't help thinking of Sun Yao. This woman was so bold that she rushed to the enemy ship alone without asking herself. What if she was captured by mistake?
I will definitely scold her when I get back.
At this time, the Jiang brothers had led a fleet to surround the Beifu Marine Division. Of course, it was only the water surface.
Although the sky is dark, the river is brightly lit at this time, as bright as day.
Jiang Dalong was not in a hurry to attack, so the flag was fired, and 20 warships were lined up, and then the sailors moved on the deck one after another. Soon, tall wooden frames were built on the warship.
Although there was a deputy general guard on the side of Beifu Marine Division, the two generals were gone forever, and then the Jingzhou navy came, which really scared them.
In this case, it is definitely not possible to fight. You can only strengthen the defense and stick to it until dawn. Maybe there is still a chance.
In fact, the vice general still has a glimmer of fantasy in his heart, hoping that the two masters can come back to preside over the overall situation.
"Sharp"
I don't know who exclaimed, and the soldiers in Beifu looked at the huge things standing on the Jingzhou warships one by one, and their hearts slowly sank.
The water battle takes the bow and crossbow as the first. When approaching, you can also hit the enemy ship with a batting rod, and then there is a hand-to-hand battle on the side, but no one has ever put the siege equipment such as a catapult on the ship.
Imagining the horrible scene of huge stones falling from the sky, many experienced veterans of Beifu began to make the idea of escape.
Face-to-face hand-to-face combat with the enemy, these Beifu veterans can not be afraid of anyone, but how can human bodies resist stones?
It seemed to verify the idea of the Beifu navy. After a loud horn, the catapult on the Jingzhou warship began to show its power.
In the roar, pieces of 100 catties of stone flew to the fence outside the Beifu Marine Camp under the action of the catapult.
When this kind of catapult issieged, even masonry houses can collapse, not to mention wooden fences and warships.
However, the cracking sound of the "kaka, click" wooden board, mixed with the tragic sound of soldiers being hit by stones, which sounded one after another in the Beifu navy camp.
This battle can't be fought. The Jingzhou navy is too shameless to give them a chance to fight at all.
Jiang Dalong is extremely satisfied with this kind of battle result, and he also admires Lu Qiang to the extreme. The wolf tactic was invented by their brothers, but the final battle against the Beifu Marine Division Battalion was organized by Lu Qiang. It was Lu Qiang ordered them to install a catapult on the ship that opened the door of the Beifu Water Army camp without damaging a single soldier.
After three rounds of throwing, there are basically no intact warships in the Beifu Water Army camp, but this is not Lu Qiang's purpose.
With Jiang Dalong's order, the pocket of the catapult was replaced with a burning fireball, and then hit the Beifu Marine Division Camp all over the sky.
Soon, the whole Beifu Marine Division Camp fell into a sea of fire, and the Beifu sailors who could not escape were burned to death in the camp.
In fact, this is a good opportunity to annihilate the Beifu navy, but according to Lu Qiang's instructions, the Jiang brothers' navy did not launch.
Is Lu Qiang afraid of Liu Yu? Of course not. Lu Qiang just doesn't want to break up with Liu Yu so early. After this battle, Dajiang* no longer has the strength to compete with the Jingzhou water army.
Destroying all Liu Yu's warships is also a blow to Liu Yu. Next, it's time to sit down and talk.
Lu Qiang believes that Liu Huaisu must also pay close attention to the situation on the surface of the water. If he loses, this guy will certainly not mind falling into the pit, but now that he has won, it is another matter.
After receiving the war report, Lu Qiang immediately ordered Guoquan to write a harsh letter to Liu Huaisu, requiring Liu Huaisu to leave Poyang County within 12 hours, otherwise they would meet each other.
Holding this letter, Liu Huaisu couldn't help smiling bitterly. As Lu Qiang thought, how could he not care about the movement in Xunyang? At first, the Jingzhou navy was suppressed by the Beifu navy and did not dare to move. He was still happy. Thinking that it was only a few days away, things turned sharply. The Beifu navy was not only defeated, but also all the warships were lost.
Now Guoquan has given him an ultimatum, and it is no problem for him to defend the city with more than 20,000 people now, but in case the people of Jingzhou cut off his back road and Liu Yi can't send reinforcements, won't he be trapped here?
After careful measurement, Liu Huaisu ordered the army to leave Poyang and transfer to the border between Jiangzhou and Yangzhou. In this way, if Liu Yi sends troops to fight against Lu Qiang in the future, he can also enter Jiangzhou as soon as possible.
With the return of the last city of Poyang, Lu Qiang finally took control of Jing and Jiang Erzhou, but this control is still superficial. It will take time to achieve the effect of using an arm.
At this time, Xie Wangzu also boarded the warship to Jiankang.
