At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 146 Poyang Lake Water Battle

Although Jiangxi was not affected by the plague, Gong Xin was worried about the spread of the plague and the need to renovate the ships and equipment. Gong Xin endured it until the plague dissipated.

On the first day of February, the plague dissipated, the navy was ready, and the Song army moved to Xiazhai in Hekou Town.

At this time, there was only one Jiangxin Island where the Gan River entered the lake. The Yuan army built a water fort on it and firmly controlled Poyang Lake.

Panyang Wuhe and Xiushui Ganshui all entered the lake at Hekou Town, and Wuyang water and Yuganshui entered the lake at Wuzikou. The Yuan army mainly defended these two places.

It had been raining for days, and the water levels in Poyang Lake only rose slightly, but Poyang Lake rose a lot.

The Yuan army didn't care, because the vehicles and ships were quite heavy, and the deeper the water, the easier it was to use.

At this time, Liu Guojie stood on the Flying Tiger battleship Jiazi and looked at the Song Army warship in the distance.

After watching for a while, Liu Guojie sneered: "They are all small boats, just waiting for him to come and die!"

"Xiangri, we have suffered countless losses because of the thunder, and we must take revenge today." The deputy general continued.

They were equipped with a lot of sky thunders, and they were all eager to try, intending to show the Song army how powerful it was. However, the Song army used Luzhai to cover the waterway, so that the Yuan army did not dare to go upstream easily.

The Yuan army was looking at the Song army's arrangements, and the Song army was also looking at the Yuan army.

The three decks can accommodate [-] troops, equipped with crossbow trebuchets. In front of the Flying Tiger battleship, whether it is a stern or a fishing boat, they are like younger brothers.

At this time, the four flying tiger warships were swimming lazily in the lake like well-fed sharks, surrounded by two hundred warships.

"It's so elite, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break." Fang Xing said worriedly.

"There is no indestructible weapon in the world. The key to a battle lies in the bravery of the generals who are not afraid of death." Gong Xin put down the telescope and said: "Call Chen Baitiao, he will preside over this battle, and he will decide whether to advance or retreat."

At this time, Chen Baitiao was leading people to push piles of weeds and vines into the water. There were boats on both sides of the river to prevent the piles of grass from being washed ashore by the current.

More than a thousand haystacks were launched into the water, and the river was immediately covered with green and yellow. Chen Baitiao waved his hand and took the lead on a small boat.

More than 300 small boats, with four or five people in each boat, moved down the river in a mighty manner. When they reached the mouth of the river, it was already midnight.

The Yuan army boat on the opposite side that was supposed to be on guard was hung with red lanterns and rowed straight to the front. A person on it shouted: "Brother Chen San, I am late, please forgive me."

His name was Qiu Jie, Qiu Liang's elder brother, known as Brother Qiu in Jianghu. He was dissatisfied with what the Yuan army had done, and received a secret letter from Chen Baitiao, so he agreed to kill the supervisor and surrender.

Chen Baitiao glanced at the bloody head in his hand and said, "Brother Qiu turned from darkness to light without losing his heroic spirit."

"Don't say that, you will shame me!" Qiu Jie threw the head into the water and said, "The Tartars and the big ship are so fierce, I'm afraid that Third Brother's plan may not work."

Chen Baitiao said with a smile: "It's okay to try, even if you fail, can a mere Poyang Lake stop you and my brother?"

"That's true." Qiu Jie nodded.

During the chat, small boats came one after another, with soldiers on board covered with blood.

Although Liu Guojie was a good general, he committed a common Mongolian problem - he did not regard the southern soldiers as one of his own.

So after a little encouragement from the two big guys, Chen Baitiao and Qiu Jie, Nan Bing decided to rebel.

In a short while, the water reached the front of the Yuanjun water village, and the water surface was covered with aquatic plants and stopped flowing.

The small boats spread out and came closer under the cover of night. They suddenly lit fire and fired rockets towards the Yuan army's water stronghold.

In an instant, there was a meteor shower in the sky.

"Kill the Tartar dogs and capture Liu Tartar alive."

"Kill Yanjing and capture Kublai Khan."

The Song army kept making noises.

"Come here!" Liu Guojie hurriedly put on his clothes and shouted: "The whole army is dispatched, be sure to leave the Confederate army behind!"

Immediately, the boats set off to kill outside the water stronghold.

It was just that the Song army was firing arrows and making noise, seeming to incite the Yuan army to pursue them.

Liu Guojie believed that the ship was strong and equipped with thunder, so he was not afraid at all and led the entire army to pursue and kill him.Just walking, he suddenly noticed that the speed of the boat was getting slower and slower, and he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Come on, let's change a group of pedal slaves."

"Marshal..." As he screamed, a general rushed up from below and shouted: "The flywheel is blocked and cannot rotate."

"What?" Liu Guojie was shocked and immediately threw a torch into the water.

Under the firelight, there were dense weeds and vines, and the lake surface looked like a barren grassland, with not a trace of light visible.

"The thieves are cunning!" Liu Guojie slapped the side of the boat hatefully and shouted: "Come on, be on guard and send the water ghosts down to clean up the grass and vines."

The so-called success is also a flywheel, and failure is also a flywheel. If the flywheel of the Flying Tiger battleship is entangled, it is a tiger with broken limbs, and can only lie on the spot.

"Kill~" Song Jun turned around and came to kill.

It was the fishing boat and the fishing boat that came in front. I saw that the front of the fishing boat was equipped with a collision angle. If the boat on the opposite side was smaller, it was just a big hole. The fishing boat came and went like flying, only firing rockets randomly and throwing kerosene cans everywhere. Scattered out, while the boat was only harassed with rockets during its shuttle.

Liu Guojie didn't care. He ordered the boats to stop them and let the water ghosts go into the water.

Plop, plop, the water ghosts fell into the water like dumplings, and they were stabbed on the back before they could clear the grass and vines.

Chen Baitiao arranged for the water ghost to ambush him in the water early, waiting for the Yuan army to come and kill him.

However, the water ghosts of the Yuan army were all from the Han people in the north. They were loyal and brave, and their water skills were not bad. After suffering a wave of damage, they immediately fought with the Song army.

Liu Guojie was so anxious that he kept asking the soldiers to get off the ship, but he committed a taboo among military strategists - adding fuel to the fire.

So, only heard the splashing of the water surface, and countless screams, but no water ghost came up to report the battle situation.

Although the water ghosts of the Yuan army were powerful, they were no match for the heroes of the Song army who had grown up in Poyang Lake, and they were killed in vain.

At this time, other boats were already on fire, and with the ignited aquatic plants, the water surface was bright.

Seeing a Song ship close by, Liu Guojie ordered a bombardment.

The Yuan soldiers on the ship immediately pulled the trigger, and a spear tied with thunder shot out. However, the target drifted away and perfectly avoided the crossbow arrow.

With a pop, the sky thunder fell into the lake, causing a splash of water, but it failed to explode.

No water, no water, no water!

Think about important things three times.

Liu Guojie reacted and immediately shouted: "Send orders to all ships to gather together and be sure to protect the Flying Tiger battleship!"

If the Wuya Ship is the aircraft carrier of this era, then the Flying Tiger Battleship is a battleship. Liu Guojie is absolutely reluctant to give up. Besides, as long as the grass and vines are cleared under the cover of the small boat, the Flying Tiger Battleship can give the Song Army a taste of dominance. taste.

Seeing Yuan ships gathering, Chen Baitiao called a whistle and led many water ghosts to dive away. However, Song ships surrounded four flying tiger ships and kept throwing kerosene.

Yuan boat counterattacked with thunder, although many fell into the water, but if there were more shots, there would always be something to gain.

For a quarter of an hour, more than 30 Song boats were blown apart and overturned, and most of the rest were wounded. However, the Yuan army was surrounded by flames, and the flames had already approached.

Seeing that the fire was burning up to his eyebrows, the deputy general advised: "Wanhu, leave quickly. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave."

"How can it be like this? How can it be like this!" Liu Guojie half-pushed, half-heartedly, and jumped into the water with the help of his deputy, and dived away.

The general fled, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting and jumped into the water one after another.

It's just that not many of them were able to sneak out in one breath. Those who popped up to take a breath were burned by the fire, and they couldn't get up again if they dived back. A small number of those who sneaked out of the fire were either captured by the Song army or killed on the spot.

"How happy!" Qiu Jie laughed and said, "The third brother has a good plan, and the Tartar dog has become a drowned dog."

"It's a pity that the Flying Tiger Ship is here." Chen Baitiao shook his head.

If Liu Guojie had not underestimated the enemy, he would never have won this battle so easily. However, now that the flying tiger ship was engulfed in flames, the Song army could only watch.

"Third brother, don't worry, there are still four ships left. Let's ask my brother to get them for you." Qiu Liang suddenly appeared and spoke.

Chen Baitiao ignored him and said: "Pay attention to the search and be sure to find the whereabouts of General Liu Guojie!"
