Hu Douzhou, later in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, was only a huge sandbank at this time, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. After Li Jing sent a fleet south to occupy this island, he changed it to Jianghai Town. At most, there were six troops and 30,000 troops stationed in Mabashui.

The island is full of Hu Doushou, so it is called Hu Douzhou. To the west of the island, there are five steep and beautiful peaks with an altitude of more than 100 meters. Langshan lives in it, and the four mountains of Ma'anshan, Huangnishan, Jianshan and Junshan are surrounded by like stars arching the moon.

Langshan is called the first mountain in the river and sea, and Hu Douzhou is also called the gateway in the river and sea.

A few years ago, Wang Ying's Rebellion swept across the southeast. Wang Ying was originally the Zhejiang-xi Town of the Tang Dynasty, which was set up by the Zhenhai Jiedushi on Hudouzhou. Due to his merits, he was not rewarded. In the end, Wang Ying led dozens of subordinates to rebellion, which swept across more than ten prefectures in eastern and western Zhejiang, but finally died at the hands of the navy fleet sent by Li Jing to the south.

This Hu Douzhou was deserted for a while. When Li Jing and Gao Pian clashed, Li Jing sent a large army south, and 30,000 horses and stairs were stationed on the island.

The island is filled with rivers and sea plains, with five peaks unique.

There were heavy troops stationed here in Dengzhou, and it also became the base of the Lingbo Army of the Fourth Navy Army. At the same time, it also became a transit station for Dengzhou to travel south to southern Liaoning, Guangzhou, Jiaozhou, Quanzhou and other places to travel north.

The sea caravans in Dengzhou went south, and most of them suspended their transit here. Some goods were transferred from then to the Yangtze River, entering the Yangtze River, and transported to Yangzhou, Runzhou, Jiangning, Yuzhang, Jiangzhou, Liyang, Dangtu, Xiangyang, Wuhan, Jiangling and other mainland China. Others continued to go south to Hangzhou Bay and even further away from Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Annan Jiaozhou and other places.

With Li Jing's navy protection, this trade transfer station on Hu Douzhou became more and more prosperous in a short period of time, and hundreds of merchant ships arrived and left every day.

There are special military and commercial docks on the island, and there are a large number of warehouses and restaurants. Even on the sand, many people began to dry salt for the military camps on the island.

To the northwest of Jianghai Town, across from the river is Hai'an County, Yangzhou.

In the mist of the morning light, along the coast of the sea, a soldier came quietly, with 20,000 troops. Behind this army, more civilians were followed.

Liang Zhang stood on the hill by the sea, frowned and watched the villagers carry fishing boats to the beach. Many of these fishing boats had only a small sail, most of which were small boats that had to be rowed by manpower. There were also some larger boats pulled over from behind with carriages. These larger boats were all Bian boats, ships pulled from the canal in Yangzhou. For the sudden and hidden surname of Hu Douzhou this time, these boats did not go down from Yangzhou to the sea, but took several times of their efforts to pull them from land.

According to reliable information, 20,000 Qin troops on Hu Douzhou have been transferred away, and now only 10,000 troops are left on the island. Among them, there are 5,000 naval troops, and the remaining army is the newly replaced township army of Laizhou. That is the navy. According to the news sent back by the spies on the island, only one of the four squadrons of the entire army was there, and the other three squadrons went to the Huaihe River. The other thousands of soldiers were actually the township army transferred from Qingzhou, and are temporarily under the command of this Lingbo army, which is considered a Marine Corps.

There were only 10,000 people, and nine thousand of them were new town soldiers. The squadron of thousands had only a hundred ships. Among them, there were only two tower ships, four fighting ships, plus eight sea falcons and eight marches, and the rest were small boats like yachts and boats.

Over the past year, Li Jing has inserted such a nail in the river and sea, which has made the Huainan army very embarrassed. Not only has it lost face, but such a force has also stationed here, making the Huainan army feel as if it is on its back and cannot sleep or eat.

Today, it's finally time for them to take action.

Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi all took the initiative to ask for the vanguard, and these three were all surrendered generals. Bi Shiduo was Wang Xianzhi's old general, and later surrendered to Huang Chao, and then surrendered to Gao Pian. Qin Yan was also Huang Chao's old general, and Li Hanzhi was Zhuge Shuang, the subordinate of Li Zhuo, the governor of Heyang. However, he later surrendered to Huang Chao, and finally defeated Zhang Lin, and surrendered to Gao Pian.

Over the past period of time, Huang Chao has been booming in Henan and even occupied Luoyang to ascend the throne and became emperor. This made the Huainan army very wary of the surrendered generals who surrendered when Huang Chao was defeated.

Bi Shiduo and the other two were sent as deputy generals of Gao Jie this time, and they all fought bravely to fight, and in fact they wanted to prove their loyalty.

Liang Zhang turned to Hu Douzhou, where the sea was very quiet, and a group of seabirds were flying on the sea. If the fleet patrol boat on the island stopped appearing before dawn, their plan would be half successful.

In Liang Zhang's opinion, no matter how strong the Lingbo army is, it has a fleet of only one thousand people. As long as he can cross the sea and land on the island, with the 20,000 combat soldiers and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers he brought, he would not believe that he would not be able to defeat the 10,000 rural soldiers on the island. He was very clear about the division of troops under Li Jing's subordinates. The strongest ones were the combat soldiers, the elite among the elite. Below the combat soldiers, there were united soldiers and rural soldiers. These rural soldiers were actually the weakest soldiers, almost similar to their auxiliary soldiers.

Li Hanzhi and Bi Shiduo, who stood behind him, had a calm face. They all made a living with their heads and voted for more than one master. However, both of them were not ordinary bandit surrenders. Bi Shiduo was one of the ten voted divisions under Wang Xianzhi. After Wang Xianzhi died, he followed Shang Junchang to fight. Later, Shang Junchang died, and he was forced to follow Huang Chao. But he had no good opinion of Huang Chao and should not pay attention to Huang Chao's army. When he was defeated by Gao Pian's troops, he surrendered immediately. Although Huang Chao was so glorious again, he became emperor and Shang Rangdu became prime minister. Even when he was the top ten voted divisions and the general of the first army, Zhu Wen, Ge Congzhou and others who had just joined the army, became Dukes and generals, but he never thought of returning to Huang Chao. He always considered himself the confidant of the Wang Dutong and was not a member of Huang Chao.

Li Hanzhi held a ring knife with his head naked, but he was a little worried. When he was still in the Heyang Army, he fought Li Keyong side by side with Li Jing. Li Jing's army may not be the strongest, but their equipment must be the best. Don't hear that the soldiers on the island are all rural soldiers and there are not many, but these soldiers are at the bottom of Li Jing's army, which does not mean that they are the auxiliary soldiers in their army.

The auxiliary soldiers in the Huainan army were a real group of civil servants, and Li Jing’s rural soldiers would never be a group of civil servants.

But at this point, he would never say these words to Gao Jie publicly to arouse his displeasure.

Li Hanzhi, who has changed to so many bosses, knows very well whether he can win a battle is second. The key is whether he can make his boss feel that you are in the same mind as him, which is the most stable way to do it.

However, this time, Gao Dacheng took action, and sent his first general Liang Zhang to steal Haozhou and Xuzhou, while sending them to seize Hu Douzhou with the same force. You can know that in Gao Dacheng's eyes, Hu Douzhou is really a thorn in his eyes.

50,000 to 10,000, even if Li Jing’s rural soldiers are really extraordinary, they will probably still win.

Liang Zhang and Zhang Lin were called the two men of Gao Pian, but now Zhang Lin died long ago. Liang Zhang originally thought that the task of attacking Haozhou would be handed over to him. Who would have thought that Gao Pian handed over the task to 45 Lang Gao Jie and sent him to attack this island. Although he also got the governor of Chuzhou, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

In his opinion, Hu Douzhou used to have 30,000 soldiers but was still an enemy, but now there are only 10,000 soldiers in the village, which really felt like he was killing a chicken with a slaughter.

"Send the order and take action!" Liang Qiang said in a deep voice with a dark face, thinking about a quick battle and decisive decision. If he had resolved this place earlier, he might have been able to send troops north to catch a piece of fat meat to eat.

On Langshan, the leader of the Lingbo Army, Wu Qian, led the first squadron to stay in Hu Douzhou. Before dawn, he was awakened by the soldiers on duty.

"General, the patrol boats in the northwest discovered the enemy situation. A large number of fleets appeared on the sea opposite Hai'an, and hundreds of ships were sailing towards the island by the wind."

When Wu Qian heard this news, he woke up all of his sleep. Now the island is empty. At this time, a large number of ships are coming, and it is almost certain that it is the Huainan Army of Yangzhou.

"Send an alarm immediately, gather the team and prepare for defense!"

After saying that, another guard was called, "Go and invite the two generals Lin Mianzhi and Deng Ziming to come here."

Lin Yizi's name is Lin Song, Deng Ziming's name is Deng Huan. He is the commander of the other two armies outside the first squadron on the island. Although these two are the commanders of the village army, they are not ordinary generals. In fact, these two are considered strange generals. Lin Song is thirty years old and has not married yet. He doesn't even look down on all kinds of women when he introduced him to him, but he is very lustful. He was originally a wing leader of the Shengjie Army, but because he was too lustful, he didn't care about the things in his crotch. As a result, he repeatedly violated military rules. When he was in the Northeast, he became several contracts.

After entering the pass, Dan woman forced the wife of General Lu Long in Hebei. As a result, the officer was not an ordinary person, and he was Lu Long who surrendered to the Qin army. As a result, the matter became a big deal. Li Jing finally drove him out of the Jinjia Shengjie Army and rushed to any commander of the Qingzhou Township Army. This was not enough, and finally arrived in Hu Douzhou. Although he became a commander of the wing master, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had rushed from an imperial guard like Shengjie Army to the village soldiers, and he was also far away to Hu Douzhou to guard. This was a very severe punishment.

Deng Ziming is not a fuel-efficient lamp. His family was originally a eldest son of a scholarly family living in Guangzhou for generations. Later, when he heard that Huang Chao's riot army was heading towards Guangzhou, he followed the whole family to escape into Dengzhou by sea and settled in Dengzhou. He was very curious about new things and liked to find the roots. Later, he joined the Ordnance Department. The latest thunder fire and thunder in the army were actually the ones he took the lead in figuring out. However, this guy was too curious about new things, and he wanted to develop a more violent firearm. As a result, he presided over the construction of an 8,000-pound brass cannon. Unexpectedly, the first time the gun was tested, it exploded and the shells were detonated, which eventually caused a very heavy accident, and more than a hundred people died on the spot.

The project was finally stopped by Li Jing. In order to temporarily calm him down, Li Jing arranged for him to go to the martial arts lecture hall to study. This time, the Qin army was in short supply, so a large number of officers were transferred from the martial arts lecture hall to the army of each township. As a result, Deng Ziming's military rank was not low, so by chance he became the deputy commander of a township army, and finally transferred to Hu Douzhou.

However, as the first veteran who had fought with Li Jing, and then was defeated and surrendered, Wu Qian had been with him until now. After contacting him during this period, he found that in addition to his superficial shortcomings or specialties, these two guys were actually not unfamiliar with war.

"It was Gao Pian's soldiers of the Huainan Army, with at least 30,000 troops." On the lighthouse on the northwest shore, Lin Song quickly saw the dense sails in his hand holding a thousand-mile mirror.

Lin Song was not afraid. Although his subordinates were no longer elite Shengjie Army, the rural soldiers were not bad either. However, he was still a little worried. Gao Pian suddenly took action, which only means that the old guy was completely planning to tear his face. Hu Douzhou's biggest weakness was that he was far away from the base camp and it was difficult to have reinforcements for a while. And here is Gao Pian's territory, and he could transfer more troops at any time.

Wu Qian looked at the second general and said, "The enemy is large and we are few. Will we retreat temporarily, retreat to the south, and retreat to the territory of Zhenhai Army? Zhou Bao and Gao Pian are in a state of disagreement, and maybe they can use his territory to avoid it."

Deng Ziming smiled, "Jianghai Town is a big island, and we have the advantage of fighting on the sea. Even if there is only one squadron, I believe the Master Wu's army will not be afraid, right?"

When Wu Qian saw that the two of them were not surprised, he looked very excitedly and couldn't help but chuckled. They were not afraid of either of them. Could it be that he, the veteran of the Qin army, be afraid? Since they didn't want to leave, then fight.

When soldiers come, generals stop them, water comes and soil floods!

"You guys are ready first. I'll get some good things to let the bastards in Huainan see!" Deng Ziming smiled, licked his lips with his tongue, turned around and ran back to the barracks.

Wu Qian and Lin Song trembled in the wind at the same time. Deng Huan's eyes when he left had already made them vaguely guess that the good things he was going to make must be those rumbling and loud things. This guy has not been much trouble on this island.

Wu Qian couldn't help but feel passionate. Even the two juniors dared to fight so much. What's wrong with him, a veteran of the water army. He clenched his fists and turned to Lin Song and said, "Brother Mianzi set up defenses on the shore and escort me. I will take the first fleet to the sea to meet the Huainan Army."

With the orders, the naval soldiers of the First Squadron had quickly boarded the warships, and Wu Qian boarded his flagship, a huge five-story tower ship, the Jianghai.
