There were hundreds of ships of various types in the Huainan Navy, including various types. There were only about fifty real large warships. Xu Yang took half of them to attack the water plug, and the remaining half were led by Gong Bin to attack Li Hao's six warships. If those small boats were not counted, on average, four large ships attacked a Tang army warship.

Each of the Tang army's warships was extremely pulled, and they had no intention of fighting together. They actually fought on their own, but this also divided the Huainan Navy into six or seven teams.

Six or seven battle groups formed on both sides, entangling and chasing each other. The Tang army warships were extremely fast, and what surprised the Huainan Navy even more was that these Tang army warships retreated on the water surface, which was no slower than when they advanced.

The Tang army warships tried to keep a certain distance from their opponents so that they could use catapults on the front and rear decks to attack the enemy ships, while the Huainan Navy used strong crossbows, rockets, etc. to respond, hoping to get closer to each other and then jump to the gang to fight to the decisive battle.

In the Yangzhou Water Village, the iron chains lying underwater were cut off by the water ghosts in Huainan, and then sank to the bottom of the water. With the impact of large warships, one water gate after another was knocked open. Amid the cheers of the Huainan army, one big ship after another drove straight into the water gate.

Above the city tower, Mei Jiu's heart was cold.

After the water village, there is still a waterway, and this waterway allows these enemy ships to be inserted directly into the core of Yangzhou City.

He turned to look at Fu Xiao, the officer from Wuyi, but he looked at one large ship after another that was entering from the water gate."

"General Fu, the organization is fighting back!" Mei Jiu shouted wildly.

Fu Xiao turned around and looked at him, giggling, "Of course, the governor!"

A red flag rose to the highest point of the city tower. As the red flag rose, countless soldiers poured out from both sides of the waterway. What they were holding was not swords and guns, but wooden barrels. When they arrived at the edge of the waterway, they cut the barrels into pieces, and then threw them into the waterway.

An unpleasant scent spreads in the air.

A rocket fell and shot into the water, but the fire did not go out, but spread rapidly to both sides at the center.

The entire waterway was burning.

More than 20 Huainan Navy warships entered the waterway through the water gate, and in an instant they fell into the sea of ​​fire.

"This is fierce tinder!" Fu Xiao glanced at Mei Jiu, who was stunned and said, "This is the first time he was used on the southern battlefield. The Huainan Army is very lucky. They were the first to taste the most sharp weapon of the Tang army."

The warship on the waterway was a bit terrible at this time. The entire ship started to burn. The sailors and wolves on the ship ran away, but in a moment they became a fire, screaming and jumping into the water, but even the water was burning. After a moment of pricking, they became a charred floating corpse in the fire.

Only those who are the best in water will rush into the sea of ​​fire, and then thrust into the bottom of the water. If they can swim to the shore in one breath and climb up, of course they can escape their lives. Naturally, such people will become prisoners of their opponents.

Xu Yang stood on the last big ship. Seeing the fire spread towards him, he couldn't help but be shocked and ordered to exit the water gate one after another. However, it was easy to come and go. Although the water gate was broken by them, the Tang army on both sides of the water gate were still there. Gasoline bombs were ignited and threw them at Xu Yang's ship. Amid the rumbling and violent sounds, the last big ship was completely stopped near the water gate, and there were no living people on the ship.

The battle inside and outside the water village has generally ended, but the battle on the river is still continuing. At this time, Gong Bin's fleet and Li Hao's fleet are fighting and walking, but it is already four or five miles away from the water village.

Standing on the high warship command platform and seeing the firelight in the water village almost red, Li Hao laughed loudly. The enemy's arrogance finally sent them to death. Originally, even if they had strong tinder oil, they could not use it on such a wide river surface, and it would not achieve the effect they wanted, but if they could trick the enemy's fleet into the narrow waterway that directly leads to the inner city of Yangzhou, the power would be doubled.

The big ship entered the waterway, and it was not easy to turn around. The only option was to drive forward, turn half a circle in Yangzhou City, and go out from the other end.

Just a small amount of hot tincture can destroy dozens of opponents' ships.

The Huainan Navy, who knew nothing about this, crashed into the trap. Now it is estimated that half of their warships are crying in the fire.

Gong Bin didn't know what was going on in the direction of the water village four or five miles away. He could only see the fire that had reddished half of the sky. In his opinion, this was probably because Xu Yang had already attacked the water village and was setting fire to the water village.

The enemy's warship speed was slowing down. After fighting on the river for a long time, even the iron man would be tired. The bigger the ship, the more physical strength it would take to control him.

Crossbow arrows with ropes shot out, and the land was nailed to the Tang army warship. Gong Bin's warship quickly approached Li Hao's warship.

At this time, on the surface of the river, the six Tang army warships seemed to be ineffective and were being caught up by Huainan warships one by one and surrounded by them.

No one noticed that at the distant sea level, the shadow of a huge fleet of sails had appeared.

More than twenty wheeled warships of the Tang army, riding on the sea tide, taking advantage of the sea breeze, almost surpassing the galloping horse, like thunder, like a divine weapon descending from the sky, killed from the sea. This was the fleet of Pan Motang, who went from Lingnan to welcome the newly enthroned Empress. For this battle, they had been suspended in the outer sea for several days.

The sound of whimpering horns and the deafening sound of war drums resounded across the river.

When Gong Bin discovered this huge fleet on the sea surface, he was really disappointed. At this time, the tide was rising, and the already wide estuary of the Yangtze River was even more boundless. He finally understood why the enemy's fleet kept luring him outside. It turned out that there was a trap waiting for him here.

At this time, his fleet was not as big as the enemy ships, nor was it as fast as the enemy ships. Not to mention fighting, he could not even escape.

When the Tang army warships completed the encirclement, a white flag was raised above Gong Bin's bow.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, Mei Jiu was as if she was in a dream, shocked, sad and happy, and his emotions were always changing rapidly.

Gong Bin was captured alive.

More than a thousand Huainan Navy surrendered from Gong Bin.

Nearly twenty large ships have become trophys, and other small ships have more auxiliary ships.

Pan Motang's fleet did not stop here. Taking advantage of the tide, they took advantage of the sea tide and walked around with great power outside the Yangzhou Water Village, and then left. I believe that their majestic figure must have left an extremely profound reflection on the Yangzhou people.

The northern city gate that Qin Xinming defended was not open at all. When the Huainan general was slowly preparing to attack the city, he saw the young Huainan commander Gong Bin tied to the top of the city. In panic, the Huainan army threw away countless supplies and fled directly to the light cavalry.

The news that the navy was defeated and Gong Bin was captured quickly spread out.

Baoying and Zheng Guoqiang were dumbfounded. Without saying a word, they immediately withdrew their troops, but were entangled by Baoying's general Ren Xiaonian, who was finally killed and injured by nearly 3,000 casualties. The hero broke the bowl and ran back.

After Yizheng and Jiang Qiaoan got the news, he retreated much more calmly, because from the beginning to the end, he did not make any effort to attack Yizheng. Once things change, he retreated, but he still had the strength to do it.

Huainan Jie Town's action to recover Yangzhou was completely failed. Perhaps Gong Yunda, who had just led his army out of Huainan territory and was preparing to assist Zhu Youzhen in attacking Eyue, stopped and hurriedly led the army back.

If the battle to recover Yangzhou failed, Gong Yunda might lose not only a navy, but thousands of troops, plus his son. He might also lose control over Huainan. Yangzhou used their strong combat power and brilliant victory to proudly declare their strength to the people of Huainan and the people around him, and also implying that the forces around him would have many choices.

Gong Yunda must return to Huainan to unite people's hearts, revitalize his troops, and strive to fight again. Only by defeating the opponent and cutting off the opponent's head can he revitalize his prestige in Huainan.

The problem is that the losses of the entire Huainan Navy are irreparable. How difficult is it to take Yangzhou without the navy alone by relying on the land division? The other party can rely on its advantage on the water to attack other boundaries of Huainan, cut off the traffic connections between various places, and cut the entire Huainan into small pieces that are difficult to connect.

Moreover, Gong Bin fell into the other party's hands.

Before Gong Yunda's butt was hot, the messenger sent by Meijiu in Yangzhou had arrived.

Mei Jiu’s meaning is very clear. As long as Gong Yunda doesn’t attack Yangzhou, we two can be at peace. If you dare to attack Yangzhou, then I will chop Gong Bin’s head first, and then fight you to death, but see who can laugh to the end?

Helplessly, Gong Yunda could only surrender to Yangzhou. Although Yangzhou was aggressive, its strength could only protect itself. If you want to attack out, it would be impossible in a short time. Now he is more worried about Wu Ning's third prince, whether he would swallow himself in one bite while he was weak.

Zhu Youzhen in Wuning was also stunned and unbelievable when facing the news from Yangzhou. Unfortunately, at this time, his armies had already launched an attack on E Yue. Before taking E Yue, he had no choice but to accept Gong Yunda's decision to withdraw his troops.
