A crisp eagle cries sounded from the air, piercing through the sky, radiating dozens of blue sky, and white clouds floated in the blue sky. Echoing the white clouds and blue sky was the same endless blue light of Taihu Lake, and the verdant green..

The eagle rode through the clouds, and the one riding on the back of the giant eagle was the Great Chu Kongqi. Because of the existence of the Baijiangtu Ranch, a large number of flying monster eggs that Leng Zhuo had scooped from the Eagle Rift that year hatched out one after another. Raptors and monsters have always had difficulty fertilizing, and the hatching period of an egg is also very long, some are as long as a hundred years, and the shortest are three to five years.

However, the long incubation period is not without its benefits, because it absorbs enough energy in the eggshell. After hatching, it will naturally have the foundation of a high-level monster, and in the following few years, it will quickly become an adult.

The number of air cavalry in Dachu is only a thousand, because most of the birds of prey and monsters do not actually have the ability to ride, and the number limits the performance of air cavalry. The variety of birds of prey makes it not qualified to form an army.

In the beginning, when Xiahou Yuan broke through the mountain pass in Ziyang, he led more than 200 cavalry to help Shi Wansui break out of the pass and seize the mountaintop camp. He only occasionally did it. In order to better utilize the power of the cavalry, these thousands of cavalry were actually dispersed into divisions under the various legions in the form of a team.

Compared with land scouts, the air cavalry has a wider monitoring range and a wider radiation range. In Chuzhou and Yangzhou, thousands of air cavalry formed a sky exploration network. Within this range, there are almost no large military mobilizations that can escape the surveillance of the Chu army.

It is precisely because of the existence of these sky scouts that the actions of the Great Chu army often have the advantage of taking the lead and predicting the enemy's initiative. Wang Xiang felt the rapid whereabouts of the giant eagle under his crotch. The suffocation of the air did not cause him panic. As the giant eagle stretched its wings, the feeling of weightlessness disappeared in that moment, and the falling speed also became stable.

At our feet is the mouth of the lake between Tianhe and Taihu Lake. On both sides of the waterway that is more than ten miles long are two peninsulas that look like Cancer clips. To the west is Hukou County, which belongs to Taihu County, and to the east is Yan County, which was the former Yangzhou County. However, Yan County has become an open space. There would have been a new city here, but because of the arrival of war, the construction here has been carried out for at least a whole year.

However, all this will soon end. Just before, when he was searching for the waters of Taihu Lake, he finally discovered the Japanese warships fleeing from the north of Yangzhou City. Nearly 300 large ships were a big target on the lake. Even at a height of thousands of meters, they could still be clearly identified.*.

At this moment, Taihu Lake is like a huge bag, and it is the entrance of the bag. As long as you tie it tightly, the Japanese army will have nowhere to go. The troops arranged on all sides of Taihu Lake reached an unprecedented 200,000. There was almost no one around along Taihu Lake. The Japanese army could not grab any supply wherever they landed, and they had to face the attacks of the surrounding troops at all times.

As mentioned above, most of the main forces of the Japanese army have been eliminated under the city of Yangzhou. At this moment, the Japanese army has no choice but to break out of Hukou and enter Tianhe to flee the east. Otherwise, just by enduring, the Japanese army, which still has more than 20,000 people, will soon be cut off from food and grass and starve to death.

The giant eagle slowly flew to the east of the Lakekou waterway. As the height continued to decrease, camps hiding among the woods had appeared in the verdant hills, landing on the camp on the highest mountain among the many hills. Wang Xiang turned over and jumped off the eagle's back and said to the messenger running towards him: "Xia Xiaoliu, go and spread Zhao Shuai immediately. The Japanese naval ship is more than 200 miles away. I guess it won't come tonight, so I will definitely be there!"

"Ha, I'm finally here, I'll convey the news!"

Wang Xiang was not worried that the Japanese army would suddenly go in other directions, because if they wanted to leave Taihu Lake, they had no chance. Even if the Japanese were using tricks, there was almost no chance. Now they were stationed on two peninsulas, but there were more than 500 warships around Tianhe and Taihu Lake. As for most of the small and medium-sized boats, most of them were excluded. If counted, there would be no less than 2,000 ships alone.

With such a strong force, the Japanese army will be a nightmare for them, whether they go ashore, detour from the shore, or forcibly break through the barriers.

As the news was conveyed, the messenger began to get busy, and Xia Xiaoliu quickly returned: "Brother Wang, I will also ask you to send Zhao Shuai's order to the other side!"

"Okay, I'll run here and I'll be able to have dinner when I'm back!" After taking the banner, Wang Xiang climbed onto the eagle's back again and flew to the opposite peninsula.

At the same time, with Zhao Yun's orders reaching various camps, one by one, the camps entered a state of combat readiness. All the camps were locked in the village walls and the patrols were doubled. The strong men in the camp also climbed the sentry walls to be responsible for vigilance and preventing the invasion of Japanese ninjas.

As the catapult position, the catapult drivers responsible for operating were also prepared to stay by the catapult car overnight. As the sun sets, the evening breeze blows by, blowing past the trees around the camp, and the leaves make a rustling sound, but a solemn aura spreads.

The night is the general, the bright moon is in the sky, and the stars are like chess pieces on the chessboard, scattered and bright in the sky. Although the visibility of such night colors is good, it will still affect the vision.

The Japanese army would probably forcefully cross the waterway in the night, or launch an attack before the most exhausting dawn, but no matter when it appears, they need to be prepared. Flying fish warships dragged grasshoppers and drove off the shore of the lake and sailed into the dark Taihu Lake.

These grasshoppers have undergone simple transformations, such as piled up a layer of sand and soil on the grasshopper ship, and a bonfire rack was built with giant trees, branches, and black turbulent oil.

"Light!" As a torch threw a grasshopper ship onto a grasshopper ship, the flame touched the tinder oil, and a fire snake suddenly rose high. The flames quickly swallowed the dry branches and made crackling sounds. After the branches burned, it burned the giant wood, causing the giant wood to be ignited. With these big woods, even if they burned for one night, the fire on a grasshopper would not be extinguished.

The firelight was like the fireflies in the darkness. Little by little firelight illuminated the surroundings, one, two, three, ten, and hundreds of grasshopper ships were soon ignited on the lake. The blazing flames drove away the surrounding darkness, allowing the sentry towers in the camp on the shore to see a longer field of view.

Hundreds of flying fish quickly focused on the Hukou waterway and fan-shapedly towards Taihu Lake. Every minute, grasshopper boats would be ignited. Soon, there were nearly a thousand flames floating on these lakes, ensuring that there must be one within a hundred meters, and there were almost no dead corners in the entire Hukou waterway.

After dinner, Wang Xiang had not rested for a long time, he was ridden on his treasure giant eagle and flew into the air again. He would be responsible for patrol in the middle of the night. This time he didn't need to run much distance. He just circled above and looked down at the ignition light below.

The giant eagle quickly flew into the sky and turned into a black dot. If you don't look carefully, it will be difficult to find his existence. This kind of waiting is even harder than searching. Wang Xiang rode on the back of the giant eagle and took a nap. If there is any abnormal movement below, the giant eagle's eyes would definitely not escape from his crotch. Moreover, he did not think that the Japanese naval ship could appear here at this time.

The waiting time is very difficult, but fortunately, time is flowing rapidly, and the night is getting deeper. The big moon hanging in the sky climbs to the center, sprinkling silvery moonlight, causing layers of waves to appear on the lake surface.

The giant eagle under his crotch shook his body to wake Wang Xiang up. Wang Xiang quickly wiped his eyes and looked down at the bottom. There was no discovery in the darkness, but soon, Wang Xiang discovered an abnormality. A burning fire point suddenly disappeared. Although no sea warships were found around, there was a kind of seahorse cavalry in the Japanese army that could dive into the lake and spray water arrows and water balls. Obviously, this time the seahorse cavalry was still the ones who took the lead.

Wang Xiang stroked the giant eagle under his crotch and quickly landed on the peninsula.

"As long as the night passes, I have to make a good plan and pass the order to the shore and let them do it!" Zhao Yun sneered and said to the commander.

On the shore of the lake, backed by hills and facing Taihu Lake, there are continuous camps. The simple dock is so empty that the ships anchored here have already driven out. After the grasshoppers were arranged before, the flying fish boats also penetrated into Taihu Lake along the lake shore. After all, next, this place will become a battlefield for the competition between the two sides, and they will not be of much use here.

The Julu Cavalry quickly jumped over the mountain road and came to the shore of the lake. He issued Zhao Yun's order. The generals guarding here immediately stepped out of the camp and called their soldiers to the lakeside.

"Open the water cage!" On the simple dock, there were large wooden boxes, all of which were ten feet square. It was said that there was a killer weapon against the Japanese seahorse cavalry. From the Chu sailors who were approaching the shore, they were all ferocious blood sword beasts.

That's right, these are all placed in a taming pool of Blood Sword Beasts. As long as there is not enough food, the evolution of Blood Sword Beasts will slow down infinitely, but the lifespan is very long, and without the stimulation of blood, the Blood Sword Beasts will not be fierce.

The Japanese army's seahorse cavalry is indeed a very difficult object. Although only three or four hundred blood sword beast cavalry has the upper hand in the battle, the number is too small after all. Compared with sea warships, the seahorse cavalry is obviously not the focus. Therefore, at this moment, the blood sword beast is placed on the Hukou waterway as a blockade line, and the Japanese sea boats are placed in the chaos to escape.

With the general's order, a soldier had already picked up a hammer and smashed it hard towards the wooden box. Suddenly, a big hole was smashed out of the box. He cut the skin of the box with a knife, and a large amount of water gushed out. The blood sword beasts that were only two or three feet long jumped into Taihu Lake along the water.

After turning around in the lake, he rushed towards the periphery. Of course, these blood sword beasts were not controlled, but in the grasshopper boats, in addition to the ignited bonfire, some raw flesh with blood was tied underneath. The faint smell of blood was the best guide.
