Chapter 43: The Ship Covering the River, the Flag and the Star Candle

A clever plan?

Everyone was unable to understand what other tricks Zhang Huai could do. The troops in Yangzhou gathered here. Gu Yun spent time working day and night. He sent two hundred fighting ships and eight thousand newly trained soldiers on time. At this moment, both sides had already raised their underwear. Whoever was big or small was visible, and this was not a problem that could be solved by taking medicine. Without soldiers or ships, no matter how hard they shouted, they would not reach the other side of the peak.

However, the difference is seen at the critical moment when famous generals become famous generals. Although most people are uneasy, no one continues to question Zhang Huai's decision - this is the trust and respect he has won repeatedly defeating powerful enemies since he led his troops. If he had replaced those unreliable generals, who would have listened to you to be so arrogant, I am afraid that the leaders of the group would have collapsed and fled their lives long ago.

When the two armies face off, the time is worse than the place, and the place is not as good as the people. If the qi is in fact the fight, the qi is weak, the departure will be. Since the commander has made up his mind, he can only fight to the death!

Liangshanzhou.

The fierce battle continues!

One hour later, the Pingjiang Army reached the end of its territory, and the defense line was shaking. Zhang Huai's ship directly advanced to the second line of defense. The enemy's crossbow probed a little further and could directly shoot it.

However, with the aura of the flag facing the scorching sun, the defense line always falls but does not fall. Every time, it can pass the thrilling moment and repel the central army's desperate attack.

It was another hour. When we saw noon, all three lines of defense were broken through. Zhang Huai's trick had not yet worked. Almost everyone knew that defeat was imminent. When they were in the army and fought, life and death were destined. When they really reached this threshold, they were not sad about spring and autumn. They were just going to die generously.

Li Yuanliang was hit by three arrows, and he simply bandaged him and wanted to fight again. He was stopped by his personal guards. He pushed his personal guard away, pointed at the flagship, and roared: "General Guard is still here. Even if I die, I will die in front of the general's ship..."

"Captain, look!" the personal soldier exclaimed.

Zhang Huai's ship moved without warning, left the guard of the Qinglong Fighting Ship, and protruded a hull forward, just like the white and tender, almost perfect arc, which was as red as beans as gifted by the gods, full of seductive attraction.

It was because of this movement that the central army was like a hungry wolf who smelled the smell of blood, and rushed to turn the bow of the ship and attacked here together. Capturing the enemy chief was better than beheading a thousand levels. This was a huge temptation for anyone!

Haven't you seen the soldier Yang Xi split Xiang Yu's leg and was therefore named a marquis, creating the glory and honor of the Hongnong Yang family for thousands of years. Even if Zhang Huai could not defeat Xiang Yu, if it fell into his own hands, he would have endless glory in this life.

However, due to hastily turning, countless people collided with heads and tails. In order to compete for merit, some large ships deliberately overturned small boats and advanced forwards, and some people were shaking winds and waves. They could not control the rudder when turning, and those who capsized the boats. For a time, hundreds of flags were tilted and chaotic, blocking the vision behind them. The formation of the central navy, which was closely versatile and well-versed in military tactics, finally revealed its flaws.

Just as the remaining ships of the Pingjiang Army rushed forward to rescue Zhang Huai, Li Yuanliang keenly noticed the fighter plane. He went the other way and led fifty soldiers who were good at diving to take a series of ships, avoiding the main battlefield where thick smoke was rolling, bypassing the floating wreckage of the shipwreck. Taking advantage of the wind, he drove his oars like flying, and approached Xiao Yushu's ship from the flank.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The lookout soldiers issued an early warning, and dozens of archers climbed up the female wall and shot archers. Without Li Yuanliang's instructions, the leather shield wrapped in cowhide was raised on both sides to protect against ordinary arrows and rockets.

Du, Du, Du's voice seemed to be a deadly ghost crying. For a short dozen breaths, it was like a time from life to death. It was difficult to survive the first wave of arrow rain, and the fifty people were lucky and unscathed.

Due to the rapid raid and the wind, the enemy did not even have time to launch a second wave of arrow rain. Both sides were close to twenty feet. Li Yuanliang shouted: "Ignite! Break the rope!"

As the name suggests, the mother-child serial boat is like a ship, but it is actually connected by rope buckles in front and back. The front boat is filled with sesame oil, firewood, rosin, resin and other flammable materials. With Li Yuanliang's order, the four people held firearms and threw them to the front boat. The four knives waved their knives and cut the hemp rope. The front boat was like an arrow from a string, and they bumped into it in the blink of an eye.

The bow of the ship was equipped with multiple whisker nails, and it hit it firmly into the side of the enemy ship. No matter how you tinker, you can't separate it. The fire swept up with the help of the wind and rumbling. Xiao Yushu's ship burned with crackling sounds, and it became a spreading momentum in its breath and could no longer be extinguished.

"Quick, hurry, put out the fire!"

"Water side, there's water in the port side!"

"Don't panic, everyone will do their own job!"

"Military Commander, the military commander left the ship first..."

On the river, once the boat catches fire, no matter whether it falls into the water and is killed or buried in the fish's belly, the fate will not be too good. Therefore, people are flustered and don't care about Li Yuanliang. Seeing that the fire attack is effective, Li Yuanliang was really brave and did not retreat. Instead, he ordered his team to go around the stern of the boat, throw out the hook, carry a knife and shield, and climb up the edge.

When Li Yuanliang turned over and landed on the deck, several soldiers from the central army were stunned, and seemed to have not figured out who the guy in front of him was who had a different color from his own. But they obviously had no chance to think about it. The huge axe blade slashed across his neck, and the blood column rising into the sky poured like rain, sprinkling Li Yuanliang's whole body through.

He pulled off the Rong robe casually and bare his legs again. People in the distance seemed to recognize him. A terrified voice spread: "Evil ghost... Evil ghost is coming, Evil ghost is coming..." The two wars did not dare to step forward.

Li Yuanliang stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on his face. He was as good as an evil ghost. Fifty people behind him came to his back one after another. He sternly said: "Let the array! Brothers, follow me to kill Xiao Yushu, and be named a marquis and ministers, today!"

The chaos in the head coach's ship caused a brief stagnation of command. Dozens of central warships rushed back to rescue. Zhang Huai didn't know that Li Yuanliang's sneak attack was successful, but if he couldn't seize such a rare opportunity, it would be better to escape from the field and immediately lead the group to counterattack. All the soldiers knew that they would not survive. In this way, they all rushed bravely, burned more than 50 large ships of central army and killed more than a thousand enemies. The situation was as dangerous as eggs.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Li Yuanliang broke through forty-seven steps, and there were thirty-two people behind him. The axe stopped suddenly, and there was no enemy around him. The burning bow began to gradually tilt and sink. Xiao Yushu escaped from the boat in the escort of his personal soldiers. The rest fell into the water, struggled, whine, or were swallowed by the fire, or drowned in the river. He raised his head and laughed loudly, and said, "So what about Yushu, the Xiao family? Didn't he be driven away by his brothers like pigs and dogs? Let's go, follow me if you don't fear death, and sank it!" The axe pointed to another fighting ship.

Thirty-two people who had been fighting for the rest of their lives shouted in unison, saying, "Sink it!"

Li Yuanliang jumped into the river and disappeared like a fish. Not long after, water flowed into the bottom warehouse of the Dou Ship and more than a hundred people jumped out like dumplings, but they all became Li Yuanliang's ghosts under the axe. The dense corpses sank into the bottom of the river with the Dou Ship.

Xiao Yushu, who was fleeing in a panic, boarded a large ship again, raised a general's flag, and directed the central army to readjust the deployment. It was not long before Zhang Huai's Pingjiang Army could be surrounded in Jiangbei again, and then the troops could be concentrated to annihilate it.

There were too many people in the central army, with a total of 80,000 soldiers. They fought with Zhang Huai's 30,000 men for one night and half a day, killing and injured more than 30,000 people, but there were still 40,000 people and 300 ships. This time, Xiao Yushu's new ship was protected by five fighting ships and dozens of small boats, and there was no chance to capture the thief and the king. No matter how you look at it, the only chance to turn defeat into victory was missed.

At this moment, pointed masts emerged from the river surface of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and then gradually revealed their huge body from small to large, with fifty sea dragon boats.

Further down, there were more than 500 ships of all kinds. One was first hung with the Kuilong pattern flag, next to it was the big "mountain", the ship covered the river, the flag armor and star candle, and it roared with the wind and water.

Zhang Huai was overjoyed, drew his sword to the sky, and his voice was hoarse, resounding for ten miles, saying, "Reinforcements are coming!"
