Because Liyang County is rich in iron ore, a large number of ore ships come here to carry ore or pig iron every year. The busy shipping traffic makes the Liyang County wharf large, about three miles long. At this time, hundreds of warships of the Sui army were moored on the long wharf.

The Sui army warships were generally tall and strong, mostly two thousand stone warships. Their mooring was very well organized. Huge warships were parked on the periphery, while the inner circle was filled with food, grass and other supplies. In addition, more than twenty small patrol boats patrolled near the large ships to prevent sneak attacks.

The moonlight was clear and the water waves were slightly moved and sparkling. On the surface of the river about two miles away from the Sui army warships, there were dense small boats, mostly small boats of 100 stone. The boat itself looked no different from the common fishing boats on the river, but the boat was filled with young soldiers, which exposed their true identities.

These small boats are Du Fuwei's sentry ships on the Yangtze River, with more than 100 ships, commanded by Du Fuwei's confidant general Qi Liang. They are usually anchored in Chaohu, Lujiang County. Usually, there are more than a dozen ships patrol the Yangtze River. This is the first time that all of them are dispatched like this.

Two years ago, Du Fuwei also had a fleet on the Yangtze River, consisting of more than 80 thousand-stone warships, but was defeated by the Poyang Lake pirate Lin Shihong while fighting for control of the Yangtze River. All 80 warships were destroyed. Du Fuwei had to withdraw from the Yangtze River, leaving only some small patrol boats.

Lin Shihong also acquiesced to the existence of these whistleboats. Both sides have not violated each other for two years and have remained peaceful.

After failing to control the Yangtze River, Du Fuwei turned to the Huai River. He subdued the Huai River pirate Miao Haichao, making the Huai River completely his sphere of influence. Until this time Zhang Xuan led the Sui army to kill and completely wiped out his Huai River naval forces.

Among the dense urging ships, there is a large urging ship of 500 stone. There is a general standing on the ship. It is Du Fuwei's water general Qi Liang, who is from Lujiang County. His ancestors have been fishermen in Chaohu Lake for several generations. He grew up in Chaohu Lake since he was a child and has excellent water quality. At the age of sixteen, he joined Chaohu Lake and crisscrossed the Yangtze River. It has been more than ten years since then.

Qi Liang was burly and powerful, and he made a pair of 60 kilograms of double halberds fight in the Yangtze River for twelve years, winning the nickname of "Little Gan Ning".

He had already received Du Fuwei's order to seize the Sui army's warships at the third update. He had two thousand men under him, and he could completely seize the Sui army's warships.

In the night, Qi Liang stared at the huge warships on the dock in the distance with eager eyes. After they were defeated by Lin Shihong, they were not allowed to own ships of more than a hundred stones, which made him feel extremely frustrated. If they could seize these hundred large ships, they would form a powerful navy.

"General, it's time for the third day!" A subordinate beside him whispered to him.

A flame burned in Qi Liang's heart, and these warships seemed to belong to him. He waved his hand and "Strike!"

More than a hundred sentry ships were loaded with two thousand sentries and rushed towards the Sui army warship from three directions.

The two thousand Sui troops led by Yuchi Gong did not live in large ships, but were stationed on the wharf. There were more than 200 large tents neatly placed on the wharf, and there were camp bars around the big tents. This was also a camp for miners. However, there were no big tents, only one circle of camp bars, and the tents in the camp were brought by the Sui army themselves.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the night was deep. The Sui soldiers were all asleep, only two lanterns were hung in front of the camp gate. Several Sui soldiers stood on the stairs on both sides, and only a few of them were seen.

In the wilderness one mile away from the Sui Army camp, Du Fuwei led an army of 10,000, and Du Fuwei was ready to look at the Sui Army camp in the distance with cold eyes. His eyes immediately moved to the river, and he paid more attention to the hundreds of warships there.

Du Fuwei originally wanted to burn the Sui army's warships with fire, but later he changed his mind. It would be a pity to burn these warships. It would be better to capture them all and take them back to Chaohu and form his own new naval army.

"Master, the time is here!"

Du Fuwei stared at Liyang City in the distance again. There were no rockets on the top of the city, which means that the Sui army had not gathered. He pulled out his battle knife and shouted sternly: "Get into the camp!"

"Kill!"

Ten thousand thieves and soldiers jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the Sui army camp on the pier like a tide.

At the same time, the bandits' warden ships in the Yangtze River were severely damaged. Countless archers suddenly appeared on the warships outside the Sui army, and dense arrows shot towards the bandits' warden ships. The bandits' ward were caught off guard and were killed and injured.

The general of the bandit army Qi Liang waved his halberds and shot the arrows at him, and was shocked. They were ambushed. The Sui army was obviously prepared, but he was anxious and shouted: "Go back! Go back immediately!"

Without his order, the bandits were so scared that they sailed backwards. Attacking the ships and siege were completely different. There were ladders in the siege, so you could climb with your feet. You could also use shields and spears with your hands. The ladders were not so easy to overturn.

The attacking ship climbs with a rope, and must be used with both hands and feet. More importantly, the rope can be easily cut off with a knife, so the attacking ship can only be sneak attacked and sneaked onto the large ship while the enemy is unprepared. Once the opponent is prepared or discovered, the attacking ship's soldiers will be destroyed. This is beyond doubt.

So when Qi Liang discovered that the Sui army was ambushing, his intention to attack immediately faded, and it was a blessing to be able to escape the ambush.

The Sui army's arrows were like rain, and thieves were constantly shot and fell into the river. At this time, Qi Liang could not dodge as much as a shot in the thigh. He screamed muffled, unstable foothold and fell into the river.

The soldiers were first aided, but they could not find his person in Yejiang. The Sui army flew rapidly, and several more people on the main ship were shot down. Helplessly, the bandit soldiers had to be forced to retreat.

Not long after, nearly seventy thieves of the bandit soldiers escaped the ambush and disappeared into the river. More than thirty empty ships were left under the ship. All the soldiers on the ship were destroyed by the Sui army's arrows. At this time, Yuchi Gong waved his hand and "Stop shooting arrows!"

The Sui soldiers on the big ship stopped shooting, and small sampans rushed out from the gap between the big ships. These were the sentinels of the Sui army. They were responsible for cleaning the battlefield, dragging the ship back, and fishing out injured and undead thieves. Dozens of small sampans were in and out, and they were particularly busy.

"Catched!"

A small boat caught the thief generals onto the boat and tied them up.

Yuchi Gong was supported by the side of the ship and stared at the situation in the river with all his attention.

.........

Du Fuwei's army encountered no obstacles and directly rushed into the Sui army camp. Du Fuwei was riding on the war horse and looked at the soldiers on the sentry tower above his head in surprise. The soldiers did not move at all, and they were clearly a few straw men.

"The king, it's an empty camp!"

There was no Sui army soldier in the big tent, and Du Fuwei's subordinates shouted one after another. Du Fuwei suddenly realized that he was trapped.

"Retreat!" Du Fuwei hissed: "The whole army retreats immediately!"

But it was too late, and a scream suddenly sounded behind them. Zhang Xuan led the Sui army to launch a raid from behind to the bandit army outside the camp.

At the same time, a fire broke out in the camp. The fire ignited the sulphur of hay placed in the tent in advance. The tent was coated with grease. The fire burned rapidly from all directions and spread rapidly. Suddenly, thick smoke rolled and smoked, and thousands of thieves in the camp were in chaos.

Du Fuwei was panicked and turned his horse's head to run towards the southwest corner. There were not many camp tents there and the fire was slightly smaller. Hundreds of his personal soldiers broke a big gap in the camp and protected the lord to break out to the death.

The Sui army besieged the southwest corner by about 2,000 people, led by the general Su Dingfang. At this time, the Sui army soldiers had already fought in a group with hundreds of brave Du Fuwei's personal soldiers.

During the melee, Su Dingfang suddenly found that one of the generals was wearing golden helmets and golden armor. He was immediately overjoyed and pointed the sword at the golden armored general: "Then is the thief, surround him!"

Hundreds of Sui soldiers surrounded Du Fuwei one after another. Su Dingfang rushed to the horse and slashed horizontally. With a loud bang, the big knife in the other party was slashed out. The two horses intertwined. Su Dingfang captured Du Fuwei in golden armor alive and thrust hard on the ground, "Tie it for me!"

More than a dozen soldiers rushed forward and scrambled to tie him up. Some soldiers even wanted to cut off his head. Seeing that their lives were hard to save, the 'Du Fuwei' shouted in fear, "God's life, General, I'm not Du Fuwei!"

Su Dingfang was stunned. He saw Du Fuwei with a scathing look and his behavior was despicable. He didn't look like a powerful man. Su Dingfang knew that he had been trapped in the golden cicada. He looked around and saw hundreds of steps away, more than a dozen bandits and cavalry were running fast.

Su Dingfang was angry and hated, so he turned his horse's head and chased him, but he could no longer catch up. After chasing hundreds of steps, he had to watch their backs disappear into the night. (To be continued.)
