The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 615 Fierce battle against the reeds (1)

Yang Yong came to Taihu Lake for the first time, and he had never seen Taihu Lake before crossing. Unexpectedly, today he would lead the troops to start a battle on the lake.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Yang Yong saw that the Taihu Lake was really big, with blue waves and endless expanse, with thousands of trees competing for glory on the shore, the reflection of the lake, sparkling light, and a panoramic view of the lake as far as the eye could see. The distant mountains and near water are picturesque .

But no matter how beautiful the scenery of Taihu Lake is, Yang Yong has no intention of admiring it at this time, and because there are thousands of troops, murderous intentions are everywhere here, and it will soon become a battlefield for killing people.The boat that Yang Yong was on was a big boat, and it was also a command boat. The soldiers behind him surrounded him on the left and right. Someone got his horse Qianli Rouge Beast and Eight Treasures Carrying Dragon Spear onto the boat.

Yang Yong is in the middle, Yang Yuling is on the left, and Nangong Saihua is on the right. The three of them lead a [-] navy and attack Luweidang in three directions: left, middle and right.

All of a sudden, large and small warships lined up the lake, the big one was in the middle, and the sails were raised, and the small warships formed a charge around the left and right. Enter.The water hits the boat, and the boat presses the water waves, making a loud noise.Fifty thousand sailors, the momentum is overwhelming.

The distance is getting closer and closer. Yang Yong saw that the reeds are quite vast. It is now the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The reeds are already as tall as a person, but they have not bloomed yet. Looking from a distance, they are crisp and dripping. Like a green barrier.

Not long after dawn, Yang Yong's fleet rushed into the reed marsh shouting from the front, left and side.

In a trance, Yang Yong saw the panicked figures of the generals on Shen Faxing's warship. Seeing that Yang Yong's men and horses were approaching fiercely, they didn't dare to fight, so they turned around and ran away.Yang Yong ordered his men to chase after them, and soon Yang Yong's big ship also drove into the reed marsh along the waterway.

However, Yang Yong didn't know he was fooled until he actually entered the reed marsh. The place is too big, and this reed marsh doesn't look like wild and disorganized. In addition, there is a vast green world in front of you, and you can't tell the east, west, north and south.

And Shen Faxing's ships are all small warships, which can run unimpeded inside, while Yang Yong's warships include large ships, medium-sized ships, and small boats. The small boats have small hulls, shallow draft, and agile bodies. But big ships and medium-sized ships have no way to go inside.Moreover, this is a shallow water area, and large ships and medium-sized warships run aground when they enter.Although the small warships can sail freely, but they are not familiar with the waterways, and after chasing and chasing the enemy, they lost it. It was like entering a maze, and their own people collided with their own. At this time, there was chaos in the reed marshes.

Yang Yong wanted to feel bad, thinking that Shen Faxing's men had repeatedly escaped and abandoned their territory before. It turned out that this was their tactic to lure the enemy. They are waiting for us here, there must be an ambush here!Thinking of this, Yang Yong quickly sent an order to retreat.

But it was too late. At this time, the large and small warships of the rebel army were crowded together, blocking each other's way, and most of the soldiers were on the large and medium-sized ships. These ships included Yang Yong's command ship, and many ships could not move forward. It is even more difficult to turn around and go back.

Yang Yong quickly ordered the sailors to go into the water. Those on the boat pushed with poles, and those in the water pushed hard.While the rebel ships were tossing, Shen Faxing's small warships came out from all directions.Shouts were heard everywhere, and thousands of arrows were fired. At that time, Yang Yong's rebel army had countless arrows, and the waters were stained red with blood.

At this time, Shen Faxing's archers also prepared several rockets. These boats were all made of wood. When the rockets hit the boats, some caught fire and some smoked. Originally, the reeds blocked people's sight, but now the flames were filled with thick smoke. , soon became even more unclear, and now Yang Yong's men were in chaos.

It turned out that Shen Faxing had ambushed [-] generals and hundreds of small warships here. Because they had prepared in advance, they had already discussed with the owner of Taihu Mountain Villa. Finding a favorable terrain to shoot at Yang Yong's warship, the rain of arrows lasted for half a stick of incense.

After the rain of arrows, the reeds turned into a world of smoke and fire. Some reeds were also burning, and the wind took advantage of the fire to make them crackle.In the thick smoke and flames, the screams, the neighing of war horses, the sound of people and heavy objects falling into the water, and shouts were mixed together so that they could not be counted.

When the fire was almost over, Shen Faxing's soldiers all went into the water with sharp knives. These were navy troops, shouting and rushing towards the struggling rebels in the water and on the boat.

Yang Yong's troops suffered heavy losses.Thanks to Yang Yong's quick response, he quickly ordered the soldiers to abandon the big boat, and those who could get on the small boat got on the small boat, and those who couldn't get on the small boat waded or drifted, and quickly retreated.Holding a big gun, he was protected by soldiers and boarded a small boat. Someone got his horse onto the boat, and finally escaped from this terrible reed marsh.

After exiting the reed marshes, Yang Yong got on a big boat again when he reached the deep water area, but looking around his big boat, there were less than a hundred boats, big or small.I brought 450 sailors, more than [-] warships in total, and entered the reed marsh.But after such a short period of time, more than half of it was lost, and the battle was too miserable.

While Yang Yong was heartbroken, he saw Ling'er, but after searching all the soldiers on these ships, there was no sign of Nangong Saihua.

Yang Yong was shocked, "Saihua? Where is Saihua? Saihua—" Yang Yong shouted anxiously, and the generals hurriedly searched for it, but there was no news of Nangong Saihua for a long time.

Yang Yong became anxious, "Ling'er, take your brothers and retreat quickly!"

"My lord, what about you?"

"I want to save Saihua!"

"No, my lord, you don't know how to swim. This is not on the shore. You can't go there, but you can send soldiers who know how to swim."

"I don't worry about other people going, why are you shivering!"

"The concubine will go with you."

"No, Shen Faxing may have another conspiracy. If we delay any longer, our entire army may be annihilated. You and your brothers should quickly retreat to the shore. There will be Jing'er's troops there to meet you. When you arrive on the shore, you will be safe. I just need to 100 people is enough, this is an order, let's go!" Yang Yong said, leading a hundred sailors, divided into five small boats and rushed to the reed marshes billowing with fireworks.

"My lord, take care, you must come back alive..." Yang Yuling did not dare to resist, and shouted at Yang Yong's back twice, with tears in her eyes, she retreated with the rest of the boats.

Yang Yuling's warship retreated, but his eyes kept staring at the direction Yang Yong was going away until the five small boats disappeared in the thick smoke, but Yang Yuling kept staring at that direction without moving, praying for Yang Yong silently in his heart, hoping to be able to move forward. I saw Yang Yong's familiar figure again, but when Yang Yuling's fleet withdrew from Erlidi, what Yang Yuling saw was still disappointment.

Tears wet Yang Yuling's cheeks unknowingly, and rolled down in the lake... "To live together is to live together, and to die together is to die together", this is what Yang Yong said most often in front of his beauties. Yang Yong's words rang in Yang Yuling's ears again.

"No, Ling'er can't be an only child, the concubine has to live and die with the prince!" Yang Yuling made up his mind, and handed over the people in front of him to a trustworthy leader, and she would rush back with a few small boats.

At this moment, someone shouted: "Madam Wangfei, it's bad, look!"

Yang Yuling turned around and looked, dumbfounded.
