Chapter 267 The Battle of Huainan (2)

When we came to Yuan Town, the Tang army drove hundreds of warships, marching towards Zhengyang in a mighty manner.

In the Zhou army's Huaihe camp, Guo Hao looked at the map, and Zhao Kuangyin sat opposite. Although the two of them determined the strategy, they lacked warships, so it was not easy to fight this battle.

"How about it, how many fishing boats have been collected?" Guo Hao asked.

"I have transferred all the fishing boats in nearby villages, and there are only a hundred or so at most. The Tang army is all warships, so we can't fight at all!"

"Hundreds of fishing boats should be enough..."

Guo Hao looked down at the map, trying to find a suitable battle location. Not far from the camp, there was a lake that was not big or small, with a plump water and grass around it, which was suitable for ambushing.

"Immediately send someone to set up a pontoon bridge in front of us to confuse the enemy's sight, and then some soldiers with good water nature in the distance drove fishing boats to seduce the Tang army.

The rest of the people were ambushed in this position. As long as the Tang army dared to chase them, we would block the place. As long as there was a fire, no one would escape!"

Hearing Guo Hao's plan, Zhao Kuangyin nodded excitedly. With a move, he attracted you into the trap. He just didn't know if the Tang army would be fooled!

Since the Zhou army was all northerners, there were not many people who could find water, but hundreds of people could still be selected. The Zhou army quickly pulled out the camp and moved to the ambush site, leaving only a few hundred people guarding the floating bridge. When the enemy came, they cut off the rope and fled.

The script has been written, but it depends on whether Liu Yanzhen is following the script or not. The Zhou army is not good at fighting water, and the army cannot fight the navy at all, so Guo Hao can only use tricks to force the navy to the land and destroy them one by one.

Three days later, the mist on the river dissipated, and the Tang army's warships were leaked, with forty warships, each with five hundred people on the ship. The flagship headed was erected with a flag with the big Liu word written on it.

Guo Hao hid in the distance, squinted his eyes and watched the scene. The hundreds of Zhou troops guarding the floating bridge saw that the Tang army had no resistance at all, and immediately cut off the rope and fled.

"Where are they, catch up with them!"

Liu Yanzhen was on the boat and was very excited to see the enemy. There were only a few hundred people on the other side, and they were all fishing boats. They had dozens of warships and twenty thousand people, so they were not afraid.

The Zhou army ran in front and the Tang army chased behind. The Zhou army seemed to be in a panic and actually entered a tributary, with the small lake in front.

Liu Yanzhen was very familiar with the terrain of this area and knew that there was a dead end in front of him. Now he was even happier and ordered an army to encircle the surrounding army.

In the small lake, hundreds of fishing boats were surrounded by the water army of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Liu Yanzhen was very proud and wanted to destroy these people. The Zhou army had no floating bridge, and it was their pocket!

Guo Hao stood in the distance and saw the scene in front of him. At this moment, the Zhou army on the boat jumped into the river one after another, making Liu Yanzhen stunned.

These Zhou people don’t want to live anymore?

Seeing an abnormal scene, Liu Yanzhen also noticed something was wrong and looked around quickly, but found no movement.

"There is no ambush, these people just died like this?"

However, before he could understand, small boats suddenly drove out of the reeds at the entrance, quickly blocking the not-so-wide entrance.

Immediately afterwards, rockets appeared one by one, but the target was not them, but the fishing boat among them!

The fishing boat was covered with straw, which was basically covered with fire. As the combustion heated the air, the hot and cold air convection, the boat began to disperse aimlessly.

Tang Jun was shocked and immediately ordered to disperse, but the lake was not big, and it spread slightly to the edge of the reeds.

Liu Yanzhen could not realize something was wrong at this time and immediately ordered to open the gap and rush out!

However, after the boats stopped, they stopped as well. Countless rockets fell, the boats were ignited, and the surrounding reeds were surrounded by flames.

It was winter, and the air humidity was relatively low. Although the reeds grew in the river, they also quickly dried and burned under the baking of a large fire.

Thick smoke filled the entire lake, and some warships were ignited, and the Tang army jumped into the water one after another, trying to swim on the shore to survive.

However, when they swam to the shore, despair spread instantly. It turned out that the lake shore was full of Zhou troops, and they had been waiting for a long time!

"kill!"

Guo Hao decisively ordered that he had no time to use these people, and Wang Yanchao was still attacking Shouzhou City. No news has been heard, indicating that there is no progress.

All the Tang army fled to the shore were killed by the Zhou army, some of which were fainted and fell into the river and drowned.

The lake was in chaos. Liu Yanzhen was in a hurry and knew that the exit was the only way to survive, so he ordered to rush out.

Several warships began to turn around and rushed out towards the exit. At this time, the stone throwers on both sides came on the field. One of the two explosive packs fell on the warship. The huge power directly blows a hole in the Tang army's warship.

Then two more fell, and the warship was too big, and although it was easy to aim, it was not easy to sink.

After finally sinking two ships, he just blocked the gap. Liu Yanzhen rushed out in the chaos and ran away regardless of the soldiers' lives!

The fire burned for a long time and finally began to go out. It was Guo Hao's order to cut out a fire belt, otherwise the entire Huai River bank would have to burn.

Looking at the Zhou army on the shore, the surviving Tang army sat on the boat weakly, with more than ten left forty warships. In fact, the Zhou army did not do anything, but this desperate environment was the most deadly.

The shore was full of Tang Jun's corpses, some of which were burned into human form. Guo Hao came to the front with a bad smell, thinking about how to deal with these people.

"General, there are still some Tang troops left on the ship. What should we do?"

Guo Hao pondered for a long time and said, "Stay the boat and let them go. If they dare to go against us, they will not be so lucky next time!"

When the soldiers around him heard that Guo Hao was about to release him, they couldn't believe it. Even if Guo Hao didn't want to kill him, he could have let them attack the city!

"Have you heard it? The Supervisor said that you will never die. If you dare to fight against us next time, you will not be so lucky!"

Zhao Kuangyin did not hesitate and shouted directly to the middle of the lake. Tang Jun on the boat looked disbelief, but Guo Hao continued to shout: "Everyone is on the shore. I will do what I say. As long as you all go home, I will not make things difficult for you!"

Guo Hao said, asking the Zhou army to retreat a hundred steps and give up a way. At first, the Tang army didn't believe it, but they didn't want to die on the boat, so a ship leaned against the shore.

"Put down your weapons and you can leave. If you dare to resist, you will kill me!"

At this time, the Tang army actually had no fighting spirit, but most of them were waiting and watching. One of the timid ones put down the ice blade first and then ran away quickly.

Zhou Jun looked at the escaped Tang Jun and really wanted to give him a knife, but no one dared to take action without Guo Hao's order.

With the first one, there is a second one. Thousands of Tang army bee pupas came ashore, threw down the ice blade in their hands and ran away. There were no one in the crowd who put down the ice blade. Zhao Kuangyin wanted to take action, but was stopped by Guo Hao.

"This ambush caused not much loss to our army, and the Tang army not only suffered thousands of casualties, but also lost dozens of warships!

Next, we will use these warships to speed up the training of naval forces. We will fight in the south. It is impossible not to have water wars."

"yes!"

Everything was under Guo Hao's calculations. After successfully intercepting Liu Yanzhen's support, Guo Hao should return to Shouzhou Camp.

This battle has to be said to be Guo Hao's luck, because Liu Yanzhen actually does not have much ability and does not have the ability to lead troops.

When he was stationed in the feudal towns, he was only greedy and cruel, and he accumulated a large amount of money to bribe high-ranking officials.

These bribed officials went to Li Jing to brag about Liu Yanzhen as a good at governing the people and a master on the battlefield. So Li Jing, who likes to listen to good words, directly put Liu Yanzhen on the front line.

Liu Yanzhen's general Xian Shilang and others were all brave but unscrupulous people. His strategy was originally correct, but he was thought of it and guessed it by Guo Hao.

When he found that there were only a few hundred people on the Zhou army's floating bridge, he chased after him regardless of whether it was a trap.

Even Guo Hao was very surprised that this battle was so smooth. Before this, he didn't ask about Guo Hao and Liu Yanzhen, but what he didn't expect was that there was such a stupid person.

After returning to the camp in Shouzhou, Guo Hao brought back his 10,000 people. More than ten warships could not accommodate 20,000 people. He asked Zhao Kuangyin to find a way for the rest.
