At the third update, more than twenty large navy ships appeared at the mouth of the Sashui River. The leading ship was a warship of 2,500 stones. The front end was equipped with the iron head hitting the head of a newly made snake, spitting out a red letter, which looked particularly ferocious in the night.

The 20 or so warships were particularly slender and called the Qilin ship, but the soldiers of the Sui army privately called it the "Snake Ship". There was a small mouth below the hull, and there were fifty long oars on both sides of the water. The appearance looked very similar to a snake. It did not require wind power and sailed by paddling and was extremely fast. It was a powerful weapon for the Sui army navy to break through the blockade.

The twenty or so 20 snail ships behind were about 1,000 stones, but the snail ship in the lead had 2,500 stones. The hull was extremely strong and huge, with hundreds of oars on both sides. Although the estuary of the Sashui River was wide, it could allow three thousand stone warships to sail, but if the oar was added, it would not work. Even a 2,500 stone ship could not work. However, the special slender body of the snail ship allowed it to sail on the Sashui River.

There were no other ships besides these twenty or so snaking ships. At this time, soldiers on the Goguryeo sentry tower about three miles from the mouth of the Sashui River found these twenty or so strange ships. However, because Sui army warships appeared on the Yalu River at any time, the Goguryeo sentry did not call the police immediately, but only paid close attention to the every move of these ships.

Suddenly, several poisonous arrows shot out from several big trees behind the sentry tower. Two sentrymen were shot into their throats, waved their hands weakly, and then fell into the sentry tower. Several black shadows immediately climbed up the sentry tower and controlled the alarm bell. The other sentrymen sleeping in the sentry tower were also killed by the Sui army scouts who rushed in.

At the same time, another sentry tower on the other side was pulled out by the Sui army scouts. After another quarter of the hour, the time gradually reached the third and second quarters. The agreed time finally came. The leading marsh ship suddenly started and turned around and drove towards the Sashui River. More than 20 marsh ships followed closely behind and sailed quickly towards the Goguryeo camp in the Sashui River.

It is about twenty miles from the mouth of the river to the Goguryeo Military Camp. In addition to the two towers at the mouth of the river, there are two towers ten miles away from the Daying. There are eight towers standing around the border of the Daying. There are dozens of patrols patrolling around the Daying. There are sixteen patrols on both sides of the Sashui River alone. The Sui army also knew that it was impossible to avoid being discovered, but they had to buy time. After killing the outermost tower, they had at least half a stick of incense.

More than twenty winding ships sailed through the waves in the Sashui River at a very fast speed. The dense long oars on both sides were neatly and uniform. The rowers were obviously undergoing strict training, but after they entered the Sashui River, the fleet was discovered by the night patrol patrol. The patrol began to shout, alarming the two central sailes. The soldiers on the sailes found a large ship coming like lightning, which scared him so much that he quickly rang the alarm bell.

‘Dang!Dang!Dang!’

The rapid alarm bell broke through the quiet night, and the patrol soldiers in the camp rushed to report to the chief general.

The Goguryeo camp was built across the river and had another practical significance. The 50,000 Goguryeo soldiers belonged to two factions. One was the 30,000 troops led by Yuanqing Palace, which belonged to the Yuan Taizuo faction, and the other was the 20,000 troops led by Gao Yanshou, which was directly affiliated with the Yingyang King Gao Yuan. These two armies were far from being harmonious. However, in the face of the great enemy, they still barely maintained communication and cooperation. However, in terms of garrison, the two armies were clearly divided. The 30,000 troops of Yuanqing Palace were stationed in the east of Sashui, and Gao Yanshou's 20,000 troops stationed in the west of Sashui, and there were floating bridges connected on the river.

Since Goguryeo's financial power was in the hands of Quan Huan, the granary was naturally located on the west bank of the Sashui River. Eighty thousand stones of grain were piled up in a hundred tents, surrounded by camp bars, and were heavily guarded. Yuanqing Palace lacked food and had to rely on Gao Yanshou's grain supply. Moreover, most of the ships controlled by Yuanqing Palace had lost, and the remaining dozen transport ships were also strongly taken away by Gao Yanshou, forcing Yuanqing Palace to swallow his anger and be in a weak position.

At this time, Gao Yanshou was awakened by the soldiers while sleeping. He put on his shoes and walked out of the tent and asked, "What happened?"

"General, there is an alarm sound. I don't know what happened?"

Gao Yanshou was also a little worried. In the past few days, he also found that the Sui army on the other side had increased significantly. He was very worried because the battle in Liaodong had ended and Zhang Xuan led the main force of the Sui army to the south. However, he did not have information from Liaodong, so although he was suspicious, he could not determine the actual situation and could only wait for news in anxiety.

When Gao Yanshou heard that an alarm had occurred, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. This was the first time the alarm bell rang. Did the Sui army start attacking? Thinking of this, he hurriedly put on his armor and ran towards the wall of the camp.

The walls of the Goguryeo Camp were about three meters high and were solid and solid. The patrol sentries were lying on the wall and looking out. At this time, Gao Yanshou walked over quickly and asked loudly: "What have you discovered?"

"General, cavalry came to report just now and found more than a dozen warships of the Sui army, with unknown intentions."

Gao Yanshou frowned. What can more than a dozen warships do? They are sailing against the current, not the north wind, so how can the ships sail? Although he is brave and good at fighting, he is young after all, he is from a royal family and has almost no practical experience. He did not expect what more than a dozen warships of the Sui army could do?

At this moment, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted: "Look at General, they are here!"

Gao Yanshou looked closely and saw that the shadow of a ship was coming quickly towards this side. The shadow of the ship was definitely not a small boat. At the same time, the alarm bell of the camp also rang, awakening the Goguryeo soldiers in their sleep. The soldiers ran out of the tent and whispered in groups, not knowing what had happened.

Yuanqing Palace was also alarmed. He walked out of the tent and asked, "What happened?"

The personal soldier shook his head and said, "A brother has already gone to inquire, but there is no news yet."

Yuanqing Palace looks very much like his brother Yuan Taizuo, but he is even taller and more majestic. He is far from the political mind of his brother, but he is brave in martial arts and good at leading troops to fight. He is the most trusted person of Yuan Taizuo and leads Yuan Taizuo's most elite army.

Yuanqing Palace felt the atmosphere tense, and the general's instinct made him immediately shout: "Let all soldiers get up, put on armor, and get the weapons!"

At this time, the Sui army's winding ship was only a hundred steps away from the military camp. Only two muffled sounds were heard underwater. The two iron fences in the water had been overturned by the ship. The powerful inertia made the ship not stagnate at all, and rushed towards the water gate of the Goguryeo camp with a destructive force.

Gao Yanshou saw the ferocious head hitting his head at the front of the ship. He immediately understood and shouted to the soldier in a hurry: "Send the arrow quickly and stop it from moving forward!"

More than a thousand soldiers immediately shot arrows like rain and shot at the headed ship, but there was no effect. Gao Yanshou shouted again, "Take the sandbag into the river!"

Throwing sandbags into the river is the most effective way to block ship navigation, but the side effects are also obvious. This method also blocks its own ship navigation, and at the same time causes the river water to rise and flood the tents on both sides of the straits. It is especially harmful to food. Therefore, the Goguryeo army would never use this method unless it is forced to do so. However, the situation is extremely critical now, Gao Yanshou finally issued an order.

Hundreds of soldiers were carrying sandbags and throwing them into the river, but they only threw them for one round. Before they could see any effect, they heard a shocking explosion. "Boom!" The water gate was knocked open by a warship of 2,500 stones. A gate was broken and hung obliquely on the wooden pillar. Broken wood splashed everywhere. The ship's remaining momentum had not yet disappeared, and it continued to rush forward for more than thirty steps before stopping.

The powerful impact also caused the paddlers in the ship to fall down one after another, and the hull made a terrifying creaking sound, as if it was about to break at any time. The Goguryeo soldiers in the military camp were stunned. Just as time was frozen, all movements stopped. Hundreds of sandbag-throwing soldiers were overturned by the waves, staring at the giant ship in front of them. Gao Yanshou, on the wall of the camp, held a wooden stake and did not fall off the wall, but his eyes were full of despair.

He suddenly realized something and shouted, "Follow me!" More than a thousand soldiers followed him down the high wall and rushed towards the grain camp in the northwest corner.

At this time, the paddlers in the big ship took their seats one after another, and the big ships started again and sailed deep into the barracks. More than 20 thousand-stone winding ships behind rushed into the camp. Thousands of Sui soldiers began to fire rockets at the camp tents on both sides, throw fireballs, throw torches, and especially concentrate on the grain camp on the west bank. Soon, the Goguryeo camp fell into a sea of ​​fire.
