The first step in the battle plan of the Ming Dynasty Navy was to demolish the buildings on the water, and the second step was to demolish the rammed earth castle.

Zhong Yi lay down behind the parapet of the castle, feeling the vibration of the artillery bombardment of the wall. He knew that a small number of troops should be left to defend the castle, while the main force went north to fight Wang Yuan. If he insisted on defending here, he would be defeated sooner or later. It would be better for the whole army to retreat to Xiangyin.

Woolen cloth.

But Zhong Yi had no confidence in his commanding ability and was afraid that the entire army would be annihilated in the decisive battle.

Moreover, the strategic location of Lujiao Village is too important. Once Dachu loses this place, he will never want to step into Dongting Lake again. Zhong Yi cannot bear the consequences of losing Lujiao Village.

Zhong Yi only has one idea left now, which is to continue stalling for time until Prime Minister Zhong comes here in person to direct the battle.

"Prime Minister, Mr. Lei Hou is out!"

The shouts of the soldiers shocked Zhong Yi and stood up quickly, risking being bombarded and looking outside.

However, Yang Yao failed to lure the enemy, and Lei Jin did not want to sit idly by. The two of them actually led the Chu Navy out of the Xiangjiang River Estuary, hoping to engage in a decisive battle with the Ming Navy, which was twice their size and had artillery.

There were more than a thousand sailors and fishermen, rowing small boats filled with firewood, and followed the warships out of the Xiangjiang River.

"Quickly ring the gold and wave the flag to make them withdraw to the Xiangjiang River!" Zhong Yi shouted in shock.
Chapter completed!
