Zuo Menggeng was a little excited.

This was his first time in a water battle. The bombardment of cannons made his heart beat faster, and the splashes caused him to make people feel happy.

Zuo Menggeng was not worried at all about the result of this water battle. It is a fact that the Zuo Army's land battle level was slightly worse, but if we talk about the water battle, the entire Ming Dynasty probably wouldn't be able to find a naval division that could be fought with the Zuo Army.

Perhaps the Zheng family navy in Fujian can compete with the Zuo Army, but they are just domineering in the sea. When it comes to the Yangtze River, the heavy ships' steering is a problem, let alone arranging and array combat.

In Zuo Menggeng's view, in the Yangtze River, the Zuo family army is an invincible existence in the world.

Yuan Jixian was so overestimated that he wanted to fight against the Zuo Army. He was so stupid and arrogant that he didn't even know how to write the word "death".

He felt that the Zuo family army did not even need to use all their strength, and could defeat Yuan Jixian's Dongting Lake Navy in just a dozen ships.

However, due to Yuan Jixian's advance arrangement, the Dongting Lake Navy had already stuck its position, and the number of left army fleet could not be used, and there were only up to twenty ships that were put into shelling at a time.

Even so, the Dongting Lake Navy was a little unable to withstand it. Under the continuous bombardment of the left armed forces artillery, several warships had been sunk.

Zuo Menggeng was very satisfied with watching it and wished he could go on the battle and ignite the cannon himself.

After the Qin Bing's mutiny, he experienced a transformation from heaven to earth and felt desperate for a while.

But now he saw hope again. As long as they break out of Yuan Jixian's blockade, they can find an opportunity to go north to invest in Qing Dynasty.

"Father, the child thinks it will take at most two hours to sink all the broken ships of Old Thieves Yuan!"

"Um."

Zuo Liangyu nodded slightly and said, "Old thief Yuan still has some tricks. If it were someone else, the navy would have disbanded long ago."

The willpower of the Dongting Lake Navy is still very tenacious to withstand the bombardment of the Zuo Family Army's cannon bombardment and sinking several warships without any chaotic situation.

Unfortunately, willpower does not have much effect in the water battle, and what really determines the outcome is strength.

"It's just a matter of staying alive. Sooner or later, I have to feed shrimps in the river."

Zuo Menggeng is now full of confidence, so he naturally will not take Dongting Lake Navy seriously.

"I also ask my father to give an order to order the warships under my command to open up all fire!"

...

...

The crazy attack of the Left Army made the Dongting Lake Navy only have the ability to resist and have no power to fight back.

The pressure of general Han Zhaoan can be imagined.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the entire navy is wiped out.

"No, go and send a letter to General Huang immediately and ask him to encircle him in advance, and cut off the retreat of the left thief."

Han Zhaoan knew that he would not last long. At that time, the left army would find that the narrowest river surface had been blocked by several wrecks.

They will definitely turn around and turn back at that time. If Huang Degong does not make arrangements in advance, it is likely that Zuo Jun will slip away.

As for his life and death, Han Zhaoan had already put it aside.

Everything he had was given by Yuan Junmen. If it weren't for the extraordinary promotion of Yuan Junmen, he would have been just a small guerrilla. How could he be promoted to the general of the Dongting Lake Navy for several levels?

From the moment the navy was formed, Han Zhaoan tried his best to train troops, gradually polishing out a strong army with extremely strong strength.

Unfortunately, the foundation of the Dongting Lake Navy is still a little thinner, and the artillery equipment on the ship is very limited. The gap between the Zuo Army Navy, which is strong and powerful on board, is suddenly reflected.

It is not scary to have a gap, what is scary is that you have no fighting spirit.

What made Han Zhaoan feel relieved was that every soldier was fighting hard, even if he could be buried at the bottom of the river with a boat at any time, he would have no complaints.

It is worthy of being the soldiers brought out by him, Han Zhaoan, and he is very talented!

What he has to do now is to delay time as much as possible. When Huang De's powerful soldiers cut off the retreat of the Zuo Army, he will have no regrets of his death.

...

...

After receiving the news, Huang Degong immediately ordered the entire army to set off and march at full speed.

After rushing to the river area near Jiujiang, Huang Degong ordered people to gather the collected fishing boats and make a floating bridge across the Yangtze River. After making the floating bridge, he ordered people to connect the iron chains and scatter across the river.

The iron lock Hengjiang naturally wanted to intercept Zuo Liangyu's retreat.

Otherwise, if they found that the downstream was blocked by a shipwreck, they would definitely turn around and go up the river regardless of everything.

The reason why I didn’t choose to seal the river when the ship was sunk this time was because Jiujiang no longer had a large enough ship.

Even if a small fishing boat sinks dozens of ships, it will not be of much use.

After all, the Nanming Navy was short of the Navy. The only Yangtze River Navy has been transferred to Denglai, and even Huang Degong has taken the land route to reinforce Jiangxi this time.

Huang Degong admired Han Zhaoan's righteous actions very much.

He really wanted to rescue Han Zhaoan, but he only had fishing boats, and letting the soldiers fight on the fishing boats was to die.

So what he had to do was to completely seal the river surface, cut off Zuo Liangyu's retreat, and force Zuo Liangyu to abandon the ship and go ashore.

As long as Zuo Liangyu comes ashore, Huang Degong has the confidence to capture him alive.

"Add a few more chains and check carefully to make sure everything is foolproof!"

Zuo Liangyu's boats are all big river boats, and ordinary iron chains are difficult to stop. Only by adding a few more can you be safe.

In order to seek stability, Huang Degong ordered people to sink the iron vertebra into the river.

Zuo Liangyu's naval warships were all very well drafted. If they forced the iron chain to block, the bottom of the ship would be likely to be cut.

After doing all this, Huang Degong ordered the pontoon bridge built by the fishing boat to be removed.

All he can do now is wait for Zuo Liangyu to come back.

...

...

"After this general, kill the thief!"

Seeing the Dongting Lake Navy warships were sunk, Han Zhaoan's eyes turned red and he let out a hysterical roar.

These are his hard work, his hard work!

Dozens or hundreds of river ships capsized instantly, and years of hard work were gone. It was as painful as a sharp knife to cut off flesh.

All he could do now was to lead the last few ships to rush towards Zuo Liangyu Navy, and sank one.

If you continue to drag these ships, you will not be able to escape the fate of being sunk. It is better to achieve the last trace of value.

Wenshan Gong said that Confucius said that Chengren Meng said that he was righteous.

Although Han Zhaoan is a vulgar martial artist, he has always liked this sentence.

In his opinion, a person's life will be rich and glorious, but his reputation can be passed down through the ages.

Han Zhao'an ate the Ming Dynasty's salary and drank the Ming Dynasty's water, so he naturally had to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the court.

He can't let his conscience down.

Perhaps surrendering to Zuo Liangyu can save her from death, but it will damage her integrity.

Isn't it just death? What's so scary!

The only thing Han Zhaoan couldn't let go was his mother and children at home. However, he had a virtuous first wife, and believed that he could take good care of his family even if he died.

As the boat rushed towards Zuo Liangyu's navy, Han Zhaoan's mind was filled with time with his family.

The son asked him to eat rice candy, but the daughter called her dad to hug her in a slight voice.

Unfortunately, he could never see all this again. For the sake of the revival of the Ming Dynasty and for more people to live the life he hoped for, he was worth his death.

Don’t be afraid of being crushed to pieces, but keep your innocence in the world!
