Wu Liuqi saw the centipede and warships behind him fired repeatedly, causing broken wooden boards to fly across the pontoon bridge. The officers and soldiers of the left army standing on the pontoon bridge screamed and fell into the water one after another. He seized the opportunity, drove the rudder, and rushed to the position where the left army had the weakest firepower.

"Brothers, hurry up! Let's get on, we will win!" Wu Liuqi handed the rudder to a sailor, took the bow and arrow from his back, and shouted.

The small sampan was only a hundred steps away from the floating bridge. A roaring sound of guns sounded on the floating bridge, and white smoke rose up. Fire tongues spewed out from behind the wooden female wall marquee. It was the bird gunman of the Zuo Family Army who fired his gun. However, the bird gun had no accurate point at all, and he didn't know where the bullets fired. This was a common problem of the Ming army back then. Whether it was a bird gunman or a three-eyed gunman, he didn't know how to put his opponent closer and then fired. In fact, it was not that he didn't understand, but that it was a psychological effect. They saw the enemy rushing over from a distance and fired the gun to give themselves courage. Because of this reason, the Ming army outside the pass faced the Later Jin army and repeatedly defeated the battle. After a round of firearms, they became fire sticks. Before they had time to load, the Later Jin army rushed to the front.

Now that the water battle is concerned, the same is true for the Zuo Family Army's musketeers. Before the opponent has entered the range, they fired the guns randomly. As a result, they fought for a long time, but did not injure a single Huai Army sailor.

Wu Liuqi drew his bow and arrows, shot ten arrows in a row, one after another, and the arrows were shot without any slightest. Each arrow would take the life of a soldier in the Zuo family army.

The small sampan was about to hit the floating bridge, and Wu Liuqi threw the bow and arrow into the cabin, picked up an iron rod from the cabin, and waited for the moment when the small sampan hit the floating bridge.

"Boom" The small sampan hit the floating bridge heavily, and the boat shook violently. The sailors in the cabin jumped up, lifted up various weapons, and jumped onto the floating bridge.

"Kill!" Wu Liuqi was the first to jump onto the floating bridge, and swept across the army with a thick iron rod in his hand. A stream of blood and bone fragments were raised where the iron rod passed. The soldiers of the Zuo family army died when they touched it. Someone used the weapons in his hand to resist it, but the sword and gun hit the iron rod and broke immediately. The shield was hit by the iron rod and shattered immediately.

"So amazing!" Shi Lang saw this scene from the telescope and praised him endlessly.

Li Guodong also picked up the telescope and saw a fierce general on the floating bridge like a tiger entering the flock of sheep, killing the soldiers of the Zuo family army into the water.

"Yes, it's indeed a powerful general, but if such a powerful general is just a navy general, wouldn't it be a pity? Now, who else is the navy in Taixi Hongmaoyi's navy? Only pirates will seize ships with their personal courage. The battles between navies are all against cannons. So, such a powerful general should have other uses." Li Guodong put down his telescope and said.

Shi Lang's heart twitched. He wanted to stay in the navy with such a powerful general. Now he is highly appreciated by Li Guodong. If Li Guodong becomes bigger in the future, he will be the navy admiral under Li Guodong's command, so of course he hopes to keep that powerful general in the navy.

Seeing Shi Lang's expression of reluctance, Li Guodong laughed: "General Xiao Shi, since he is from the Navy, and you brought him from Fujian, of course Li will not steal it from you. But I now have an idea: we can form a Fubowei, which belongs to the Navy. The role of Fubowei is actually equivalent to the night of our Land Division, but it is more elite than night of not being able to collect, and it does more things, such as attacking the enemy fleet at night, landing at night assassinating the enemy commander, sneak attacking the enemy's fortress, etc."

The Fubowei, which Li Guodong planned to establish, belonged to the Navy, is actually the special forces of the Marine Corps. People with high martial arts skills like Wu Liuqi are most suitable for this profession.

After hearing what Li Guodong said, Shi Lang felt relieved.

Wu Liuqi killed all directions on the pontoon bridge. More and more small Huai army boats leaned on the pontoon bridge. A large number of soldiers jumped onto the pontoon bridge, killing the Zuo family sailors either crossed the pontoon bridge or dived to escape.

After the Huai Army occupied the floating bridge, it set off a fire, burned the floating bridge, and opened a road for the navy fleet that was flowing downstream.

The last river-blocking rope of the Left Army was unable to intercept the Huai Army Navy. The Zuo Family Navy ships on the river between the floating bridge and the river-blocking rope were all sunk in an instant. The Huai Army Navy easily killed the Jiujiang River and continued to go downstream.

"Master, they rushed over, our navy suffered heavy losses, and the pontoon bridge, rafts and warships were all finished." Several naval officers from the Zuo Family Army came to report.

"Go down, I already know." Zuo Liangyu waved his hand and asked them to retreat.

Lu Guangzu stepped forward and bowed: "Master, the navy was defeated in a crushing situation. Why didn't the commander punish them?"

"The navy was defeated in the battle, which is not a crime of war. I don't believe that Li Ergou will not come back after going to Jiangnan!" Zuo Liangyu said furiously, "When he comes back, he will have to pass through the Jiujiang River. At that time, they will go upstream and we will go down smoothly, and we will definitely burn him to the river!"

Li Guodong's navy won a complete victory, and Wu Liuqi was summoned to Li Guodong's flagship.

"This little brother, you are the first to win today! What's your name?" Li Guodong asked.

"Ye Bo Ye, the surname is Wu, and his name is Liuqi."

"Wu Liuqi?" Li Guodong recited this name.

"It's a humble position." Wu Liuqi replied loudly.

Li Guodong nodded slightly. This guy is actually like Shi Lang, and he is a big traitor in real history. But in this time and space, Shi Lang is no longer able to be a traitor. Similarly, Wu Liuqi cannot be a traitor. Since they are no longer able to be a traitor, then use them well. So Li Guodong said: "Liuqi, I plan to establish the Fubowei, which has always been affiliated with the navy, so that you can be the commander of this Fubowei!"

Wu Liuqi quickly knelt down and thanked: "Thank you, Bo Ye, I am loyal to you to your dearest duties, even if you are heartbroken!"

"Okay! OK!" Li Guodong helped Wu Liuqi up and said in his heart: Another powerful general is obtained.

The Huai Army Navy fleet went downstream and never encountered any trouble all the way. The fleet arrived at the Guazhou River.

In February, the locks of the Yangtze River entering the Jiangbei Canal are closed, and no ships are allowed to pass through. This is actually to ensure the water level of the canal. Because the water level of the Yangtze River is lower than that of the canal, the Yangtze River water cannot flow into the canal. Once the lock is opened, the water of the canal will flow into the Yangtze River. In the dry season, the water of the canal is replenished by the rivers on both sides of the canal. A large amount of precious river water flows into the canal, which causes a shortage of water on both sides of the canal. Therefore, in order not to let the precious water flow out in vain, the Guazhou ship lock will be closed as long as it is not the season for grain transportation, and Yangtze River ships are prohibited from entering the canal.

During the non-grain transportation season, merchants hired merchants to disembark in Guazhou, unload their goods, and then transfer to canal boats to head north. The same is true for ships that come down from the north, changing to the Yangtze River boats in Guazhou.
