"Wow!"

Before Zhang Xian could call the general of Yandangji to his side, four warships among the enemy forces standing east of the water village on Aoshan Island had already launched an offensive, and dozens of ignited fire oil cans were launched.

Four hundred steps away, they all accurately threw towards the east wall of the water village that extended into the river.

Soon I saw clusters of fire burning on the east wall of Shuizhai.

Although the defenders also tried their best to activate the cyclone cannons on the water platform, they were just as expected by Du Chongtao. They were only forty or fifty steps away from attacking the warships of the Tangyi Navy. Stone bombs fell into the river one after another, smashing up pieces.

Inconspicuous water splash.

The crossbow on the city wall has a range of less than half.

They could only be beaten but unable to fight back. As more and more fire oil cans were thrown on the city wall, it was too late for the soldiers to put out the fire. Watching the fire on the city wall getting bigger and bigger, the soldiers could only fight to the two sides in embarrassment.

As the land receded, some generals were still on fire, so they had no choice but to flee into the river in a hurry.

After seeing this scene, Yang Zhitang jumped in shame and waved his hand feebly.

Since the Tangyi Navy had already launched an attack, it would be of no use if he sent people there. Unless he sent people to see Zhao Wuji who was stationed in Tangyi City, it would be possible to prevent the Liang Army from landing on the island.

Otherwise, it would be useless to drag Han Daoming or Han Wenhuan over.

During the Jinling Rebellion, Han Qian did not hesitate to use Han Wenhuan, Han Daochang and others as bait to lure Gu Zhilong and his elite combat troops away from Langxi. Everyone still clearly remembers it. How could Yang Zhitang forget it?

"Is Han Qian really crazy? After he conquered the residual beam, he actually expanded to this point. It was not enough to fight the Mongol people and the Dongliang Army, but he also had to fight with Chu on the southern front?" Zhang Xian?

At this moment, I couldn't help but asked in shock.

No matter how shocked and confused Zhang Xian and the people on the watchtower of Yandangji Military Fortress were, the one-sided war on the east side of Aoshan Island was still going on in an orderly manner.

The defenders were unable to gain a foothold on the east city wall, and several galleys hurriedly withdrew to the inside of the water stronghold. However, the water platform behind the city wall was quickly set on fire, and several whirlwind fires were also destroyed by the fire. The Tangyi navy was seen

The warships calmly pressed against the east city wall - this scene made Yang Zhitang even more desperate.

He knew very well that the inner lake of the water village on the west side of the city wall was only six to seven hundred steps wide and was divided into different areas by several wooden planks so that more warships could be stationed.

More than two hundred large and small warships were crowded on one side of the inner lake. The range of the Scorpion Cannon thrown by the Tangyi Navy was far beyond their imagination, which meant that the wooden plank road and the warships outside were within the attack range of the fire oil cans thrown by the Scorpion Cannon.

within.

Since there was a city wall built on the earth slope on the south side of the water village, they could not directly see the situation inside the water village, but they saw that the warships of the Tangyi navy were constantly throwing fire oil cans, and they also knew the tactics of the Youlongwu army.

What is fate?

Not only will the warships stationed in the inner lake be burned, but the fire will extend to the west, and the barracks near the dock will soon be in flames, right?

Just as Du Chongtao and Yang Chitang guessed, they soon saw that the southern wall of Shuizhai could no longer block the rising fire, and they could confirm that more than two hundred large and small warships stationed in the inner lake were inevitably caught in the sea of ​​​​fire.

.

Zhou Qinian, who accompanied him to Yanyanji to watch the battle, was so painful that he could not help but close his eyes. Nearly 40% of the naval combat strength of Youlong Wujun, which was also the most elite navy the imperial court relied on, was just gone?

Zhou Qinian had pointed out the shortcomings of the Aoshan Island water village earlier, and even had the opportunity to see Han Qian's early construction of the water camp in Chenzhong and Qianyang.

The wading city wall on the east side is too thin. The Tangyi navy's water fortress will at least build two wading walls on the outside of the water area where they are stationed, and fill the middle with earth to form a berm ranging from three to fifty paces wide;

The plank road over the mooring water area will not be a pure wooden plank road. Even if it is simple, two dense rows of wooden piles will be laid, and the middle will be filled with earth and rocks to form a plank road that is at least twenty steps wide to divide the mooring water area.

Prevent accidental fires and uncontrolled spread of fire.

Obviously Yang Zhitang was still stingy and was unwilling to spend a lot of money to build a wading wall on the outside. Even the boat mooring plank road in the inner lake was too crude.

But what is this mad dog Han Qian going to do?

"..."

In the main hall of Changxin Palace, Qingyang was sitting behind the imperial case, staring at Lei Cheng who was kneeling in front of the case. His eyelids were so angry that he couldn't control the anger in his chest. He raised his head and put another jade cup in his hand.

, smashed to pieces in front of Lei Cheng.

"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation!"

"The Ai family doesn't want to hear it," Qingyang lowered his voice angrily, stared at Lei Cheng, and asked, "The Ai family almost fell out with old men like Shen Yang and Zheng Yu, so they forced them to agree to kill Qin Wen.

When they are all returned to the north bank, is this how you come to repay the Ai family? Isn't Han Qian really afraid that the Ai family will issue an edict to remove all the bones of old Han Wenhuan to quell the anger of those old men Shen Yang?"

Feng Yi sent Wang Chan'er and other rebels to Jinling. Neither Shen Yang nor Yang Zhitang wanted to accept the favor. They all advocated the continued detention of Qin Wen and other people involved with Tangyi. It was she who persisted in every possible way, and in the end only Han Wenhuan and Han Daoming were detained. , Feng Yi and others detained Qin Wen and a large number of people involved with Tangyi, including the family, a total of more than a thousand people, and released them to the north bank.

On this point alone, some officials boldly wrote letters accusing her of being obsessed with her homeland and ignoring the fundamental interests of Chu. Some even secretly spread rumors that she was involved with Han Qian.

She originally thought that after the peace talks were concluded, all these unfavorable remarks would disappear. No matter how much Huang E's bitchy maid secretly plotted, she never thought that the matter would be delayed until now. It was Tangyi who launched the offensive first and sent troops to destroy it first. In Aoshan Island Water Village, a fire destroyed more than 200 warships saved by Youlong Wujun over the years.

Qingyang felt a twinge of pain in his chest when he thought that Huang E's humble maid, Huang Huixiang, and Zhou Qinian would make a big fuss about this matter before the court tomorrow.

"Although Luqi withdrew its troops from Heluo in mid-May, it was not because the enemy suffered heavy casualties, but because the Yuhe River flood was coming and the Yiluo River mouth was flooded, making it difficult for them to deploy their troops. Speaking of casualties, the Daliang soldiers The horses were still on top of the enemy army, so they could only barely survive the disaster. However, the Yuhe flood lasted only four short months, and if Liang and Chu did not conclude a peace treaty until September, the Mongols would definitely send troops to attack the Yuhe River again. Luo; and after October, the Ying River and the Yu River will be covered with ice, and the enemy cavalry will invade Cai Ruxu Chen in large numbers. Our generals in Daliang will be unable to defend themselves." Lei Cheng knelt in front of the imperial case, pressing down The voice said, "Not to mention the safety of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, the old slave asked boldly, if Liang does not exist, how can Shu be safe? Liang and Shu are destroyed, how can Chu survive alone? However, your Majesty, he does not use thunderous means, Yang Zhitang, Will Shen Yang and the others agree to accept the peace treaty before September?"

"Yang Zhitang, Shen Yang just refuses to accept the peace proposal, what are you going to do, capture Jinling City?" Qingyang asked with his face turning pale with anger.

"There are 60,000 elites in and around the capital. No one can conquer them if they want to. And your Majesty, he never wants to see the Jianghuai war rekindled and all lives lost. However, if the situation forces us, we will not be able to reach a peace agreement if it is delayed until July. , by then all the Tangyi naval forces will be dispatched, and they will do everything possible to destroy all the water camp facilities along the Yangtze River and Han River; and if peace cannot be negotiated until August, General Jun will send troops to capture Huang, Sui, Fu, Ying and other states. , leaving space for the soldiers and civilians from Cai, Xu, Chenru and other places to move south after mid-to-late October. At this time, Liang Chu will no longer have the possibility of negotiating peace. After your Majesty survives the autumn and winter offensives, his next step will be next year. Troops will also be sent to capture Jingzhou and Xiangzhou on the east bank of the Han River, as well as Langzhou and Chenzhou south of the Yangtze River and west of Dongting Lake, so that Xiangxi, Jingxiang, Huaixi, and Hanzhong will be connected into one, laying the foundation for the subsequent troops to Guanzhong... ..." Lei Cheng said.

"It's useless for you to threaten the Ai family with these, you go and threaten Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and those old men, go and threaten Yang Yuanyian!" Qingyang said angrily.

"I have no intention of threatening the Queen Mother. This is actually my Lord's military plan. I was just worried that if something went wrong it would harm the Queen Mother, so I didn't put it on paper and submit it to the Queen Mother for inspection." Lei Cheng said.

"The Ai family is not afraid, so what is he afraid of?" Qingyang said angrily, "The Ai family knows best how you slaves will make trouble in the middle. If anything happens in the future, you ask Han Qian to write a letter to the Ai family in his own hand! You are not

Is there any flying pigeon message? Unless the Ai family sees Han Qian's handwritten letter within three days, don't expect the Ai family to cooperate with you in negotiating a peace agreement!"

"I obey the imperial edict, but three days is too urgent, and it may take ten days to deliver the message," Lei Cheng said.

"Don't bargain with the Ai family, five days at most!" Qingyang Han scolded, "After five days, Yang Zhitang will definitely take the heads of Han Wenhuan and Han Daoming to avenge the loss of Aoshan Island. Don't blame the Ai family for not stopping them!
