Chapter 494: The navy heads north and counterattacks Xiangyang

"It's so damn!" The bald He Gui smashed the table hard, and the solid wooden table with a thick fist couldn't help but tremble.

"I said, you can't be calm when you big hippos. If you smash the table, we have to spend money to buy one!" Mu Muqing, who was wearing a green feathered water willow dress and showed a delicate figure, held a cup of ice-clad tea, spitting on her mouth while saying.

"Hmph!" He Gui ignored Mu Muqing, but turned his head and looked at Yue Fei in the upper position, and said, "Commander, let it go. The commander gave in again and again for the sake of war, but these guys were arrogant. If we weren't charging forward, even those mobs could defeat the Xiangyang navy!"

"Sit down first!" Yue Fei pressed his hand and said with a solemn expression: "What the other party said is not unreasonable. There are not many soldiers on our ship. Should we rely on ourselves to rush to Xiangyang and send orders to the fleet turn around. We first go to Linhai Town, pick up the soldiers, and then catch up!"

"But the commander!"

"He Gui, since the commander has given the order, I will do as hell. Where does nonsense come from? Besides, the Xiangyang navy has not yet collapsed. Maybe it will help us teach this group of mobs a lesson. At that time, they will not be allowed to come over and beg us!" Ouyang Lang said as he stood up, hugged Yue Fei and said, "Master Commander, if nothing is wrong, I will go back and command first!"

"Yeah!" Yue Fei waved his hand and said, "Go all!"

In a moment, the people in the cabin were exposed one after another. Zui Xin then came behind Yue Fei. A pair of jade hands gently pressed on Yue Fei's temple, pressed it up gently, and followed the fingertips, a trace of coolness brushed across the brain, making people feel comfortable all over their body and mind.

"Master, don't care too much. He Gui has a straight temper, but he has no bad intentions. However, these Chuzhou people are really hateful. I know that the commander is concerned about us being a guest army, so he is tolerant and cooperate with the Chuzhou navy. But to be honest, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, those guys think that the adults can be bullied! If we still do this, the people below will not say it, but they will inevitably...!"

Yue Fei frowned slightly and said, "Did you hear something?"

He shook his head intoxicatedly and said, "That's not the case, but the adults should also know that most of the guys below are drinking, eating meat, and greedy for revenge. They are riding on their necks to act like a blessing. If the other party is really capable, that's nothing, but the current situation is indeed a bit too much! It's not wrong for the adults to take into account the overall situation, but they also have to take into account the feelings of their subordinates!"

When Yue Fei heard the words, he said, "War is not a joke, and we are in Chuzhou after all, and it is not good to have a quarrel. In short, I know this. After taking Xiangyang this time, we will part ways and never have to look at the faces of the Chuzhou navy again!"

"Sir, the Yangzhou navy turned the bow and headed southeast!"

"Haha, it seems that the Yangzhou water general is still cognizant of the current affairs. OK, this time, the Yangzhou water army was transferred. Whether the next big function of the guide to Xiangyang is achieved depends on your sincere cooperation. We will fight to the city of Xiangyang in one go, making our water army famous this time!"

"All follow the general's orders!"

"Since that's the case, I will give an order. The entire army will immediately go north. Tomorrow morning, we will block the remaining naval forces in Xiangyang Xishui Bay, destroy them, and then threaten Xiangyang City from the flanks, so that the anti-Wang army can know the power of our Poyang naval forces!"

"yes!"

Outside Xiangyang City, Xishuihu Bay, Xiangyang Navy anchorage. Since the formerly powerful Xiangyang Navy has drawn the main elites out of the lake entrance and entered Tianhenoi two months ago, the Xiangyang Navy left behind is just some old ships. Although there are shipyards that are constantly building ships day and night, in less than two months, they have only built some small and medium-sized warships such as boats and fast ships.

The quiet night is like a chessboard, the stars are like chess, and the moonlight shines on the lake, shining with sparkling waves.

A flying fish boat is like an extremely lively flying fish. With the moonlight, it is swiftly passing through the lake. It is not until the moon turns to the side that the watermen on the flying fish boat see a few lights.

"I'm finally back. Brothers, I'm working harder. When I get back to the camp, I can have a good rest!"

The rushing footsteps sounded outside the tent, and the low voices of conversation made the water that had not had a stable sleep in the tent wake up from the confusion: "Who is outside!"

"Sir, it's me. There was an emergency military newspaper sent back by the Clippers just now!"

"Then you won't come in!"

The candlelight was lit, and the entire tent finally had a bright light. A general wearing an underwear had bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well for several days: "Tell me, what's the matter!"

"The news brought back by our post-snooping subordinates of Poyang Sea is that the Poyang naval army has set sail north and is expected to arrive outside Xishui Lake Bay before noon tomorrow! It seems that they are planning to pursue the victory."

The water general heard the words, not only did not look anxious, but smiled and said, "Come on, let them all come, let the sentries outside keep a close eye on them, and the others will continue to sleep, and the victory or defeat will be decided tomorrow!"

Thousands of warships were covered with overwhelming and densely packed on the lake. On the mast, sails of all sizes covered the sky and the sun were covered with flags on the bow, and flags flew with the wind.

Although the rebellion of the Xiangyang Navy caused great damage to the power of the Poyang Navy, it was one of the imperial shipbuilding centers along the coast of Poyang Lake. The large wood cut from the wild jungle could enter the sea through the Xiang River. When the shipbuilding workshop on the river bank was fully driven, in just one week, small and medium-sized warships such as boats, flying fish, and even ferry would be continuously built.

Like a small building ship, it only takes more than a month, while large building ships can be built in just three months at the earliest. Since the Xiangyang rebellion, more than April has passed, and the newly established Poyang Navy has reached its previous scale in terms of ship count.

If the Yangzhou navy is added, the number alone is twice and a half times the number of Xiangyang navy. If the main force of the Xiangyang navy is still there, the outcome of the previous water battle is still unknown.

At Xishui Lake Bay, the remaining three hundred large and small warships of Xiangyang Navy did not leave the bay without fear. Facing the Chuzhou Poyang Navy, which was three times more powerful, broke into a formation on the lake.

"This group of anti-Wang Shuijun is really tenacious. He only relies on those two or three hundred small broken ships. He thought he could stop us. He sent orders and relayed the war. I want to kill him, and he would flow into a river of blood, and he would not leave any armor!"

"Yes!" The messenger quickly came to one side, chanting flags. Although there were not many large ships on the Xiangyang Navy, there were not many large ships in the Poyang Navy, and most of them were newly built, and there were no catapults installed at all. At most, some bed crossbows were equipped, and even if they were calculated and installed, it was still unknown whether they could exert their power.

However, the Xiangyang Navy launched sporadic stones, but the castle cart was entirely due to the number of stone bombs covering the cover of stone bombs, which made it a certain hit. The landing point of the sporadic stone bombs was far from the Chuzhou Navy.

They were completely useless, but as if they could pluck their courage, they still fired one after another. The fleet was approaching quickly, and both sides began to use medium-range attack weapons one after another. The crossbow began to shoot at each other, and casualties began to appear.

"Appoint, retreat back to the water bay!" There were several rounds of confrontation, and the Xiangyang navy, who had just experienced a great defeat, was completely suppressed, but the water generals issued orders calmly. After receiving the order, the ships turned around and retreated into the water bay.

It was chaotic, just like the market, and it was completely squeezed into a group. Fortunately, the ships of the Xiangyang Navy were all written with flexible small boats. If you look closely, you can see that the only remaining large ships of the Xiangyang Navy were always shrank behind the team, so they were not completely blocked when retreating.

Although he lost thirty or forty warships, he fled into the Xishui Lake Bay.

"Haha, pass the order, take advantage of the victory and fight directly to Xiangyang City!"

Warships rushed into Xishui Lake Bay. As the name suggests, Xishui Lake Bay is first of all, and it is next to Xiangyang City. This lake is also connected to some rivers of the Poyang Sea. Later, these rivers were widened and the two lakes were connected, just as if this Xishui Lake was part of the Poyang Sea.

Ships rushed into the bay of Xishui Lake, and from the ships, the blood dripped in the lake spread in the water from time to time. Although they would be swallowed up by the water waves in a short while, it seemed that there would be no trace of blood red again, but the smell of blood drifted away with the water flow.

At the bottom of Xishui Lake Bay, the bottom of the lake where light could not be shined, a silver-white swordfish, more than two feet long, drilled out of the aquatic plants. The noses on both sides of the sword head seemed to smell something, and they swung their tails around to find the source of the smell.

There is the first one, and there is the second one. More than a dozen silver-white swordfishes swam on the lake like a javelin in the water, swimming left and right with the warship dripping with blood.

"Good, come out, come out!" Looking at the silver-white flying fish exposed to the water in the lake, the water showed a wicked smile on his face, stood up, and ordered: "Go to the cabin, open some bloody mouths on the cattle and sheep, and then chisel through the bottom of the ship, prepare for the clutch, let's leave here!"

"Yes, sir!"

The order was executed in an orderly manner, and all the old ships were sunk. Even on the water, some large cargo ships were parked on the lake. The soldiers who received the order drew their swords and chopped them at the cattle and sheep in the cabin. Then someone smashed the bottom of the ship, and a large amount of lake water poured into the cabin and flooded the cabin.

"What is the Xiangyang Navy doing? Is it because it knows the fate of the next time, so it plans to indulge itself in the entire festival!"

"I think this is the case. These thieves who are about to die will still fight against the empire until they die. When they enter Xiangyang City, they will definitely destroy the nine tribes of these thieves!"

Gudu, Gudu, a series of bubbles emerged from under the lake. As the dozen or so ships slowly sank, the bloody smell in the boat became stronger and stronger. Smelling the bloody smell, the silver-white bloody sword beasts that were constantly evolving at the bottom of the lake opened their eyes, shook their fish tails, and rushed towards the ship that sunk into the lake.
