Chapter 396
After beheading and defeating Zhang Ying, Lu Su and Tian Yubing split into two groups at dawn, and both water and land rushed towards Huaipu non-stop.

Among them, Tian Yu went overland to change into the clothes and flags of the Yangzhou Army, and then pretended to mix into Huaipu City.

At this time, the guard is Fan Neng. Fan Neng knows that Zhang Ying will return to Huaipu. At this time, he is concentrating on building wooden piles and water fortresses to reinforce the water surface interception.

So Tian Yu came to Huaipu City, successfully used Zhang Ying's token to open the city defense and sneak in.

"General! General Zhang Ying's movements have returned to the city."

Soon one of his subordinates found Fan Neng and came to inform him.

Fan Neng frowned slightly, feeling bad all of a sudden.

Zhang Ying came back, and the command of guarding here will be handed over to Zhang Ying again, so he replied in a bad mood: "I will come back when I come back, I will know, you can wait!"

The reporter wanted to say something, but was sent away by Fan Neng with a wave of his hand. In the end, he still didn't remind Fan Neng that only less than two thousand soldiers came back, and they were all a little embarrassed. Zhang Ying didn't return at all.

But who will let Fan Neng take office? This guy has a lot of authority, so it's better not to mess with him.

Soon Lu Su's navy arrived.

Seeing Donglai's naval warship approaching, Fan Neng was a little excited for some reason.

The enemy is coming, okay, finally you can fight against the Donglai army, it's time to show your skills and show everyone what you can do.

So he immediately gathered all the water boats to prepare for a battle with the Donglai water army.

With a geographical advantage, there are water fortresses and wooden piles, but it can be afraid that the Donglai army will fail.

It's just that he just took a stance when he heard the sound of killing from behind, and the flag of the Yangzhou Army hanging on the top of the city fell down.

"What's going on?" Fan Neng didn't know anything about it, and his subordinates were completely confused.

"With the death of Zhang Ying, below the city of Huaipu, Yangzhou has been captured by our Donglai army, and Liu Yao has been besieged in Guangling County. The thief general Fan Neng has not bowed his head and accepted the surrender!"

At this time, such a sentence came from the top of the city, and Fan Neng's subordinates were all shocked.

Zhang Ying is dead!

Huaipu City was also captured by the Donglai Army, even Yangzhou was breached, and the lord Liu Yao was also besieged. What's going on?

There was a lot of discussion everywhere, and people panicked all of a sudden.

Fan Neng's face was cloudy and uncertain, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

But in the end, he still gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't listen to their nonsense, this is the enemy's trick, hold it steady for me."

"attack!"

At this time, Lu Su ordered the navy warship to attack the water stronghold of Fan Neng and others. The improved bed crossbow on the ship shot long sharp arrows, and countless crossbowmen on the deck began to throw arrows.

In the cabin, the porters and boatmen pedaled hard, and the boat slammed into the wooden piles standing in the water at high speed.

Fan Neng tried to counterattack, but the bow and crossbow were not as good as the Donglai navy and could only defend passively.

"boom!"

He heard the Donglai warship covered with steel plates slam into it, smashing the wooden piles standing in the water and crushing them.

Fan Neng and others were surprised that these water piles used against ordinary wooden boats and small boats were easily breached without any effect.

What's going on, how did Donglai's warship do it.

Then the warship continued to charge fiercely, smashed into the fence of the water village, and then smashed down the fence of the water village.

How could the ship still have such a strong power.

There is no boatman on the deck of the Donglai Army's boat to pole and paddle. Could it be that this boat has ghosts and can move forward by itself.

He pretended that he didn't know that the Donglai Army's water boats were powered from below, which could provide the greatest protection for the boatmen and provide sufficient and lasting power during the battle, so that the warships could keep colliding, trampling like cavalry on land .

Therefore, the warships of the Donglai Army were covered with iron sheets, so that even if they did not need to jump to fight in close combat, they could still destroy the enemy.

"Release the crossbow!"

After breaking through the enemy's water stronghold, Lu Su ordered the soldiers with crossbows to move to the strings of the boats on both sides and start shooting at close range.

"Whoa..."

"Pfft..."

"Withdraw! Abandon the village and retreat to the shore!"

It is obvious that the battle on the surface is not the opponent of the Donglai Army at all. The opponent's weapons are too sophisticated, especially the warships that can move by themselves are simply beasts.

At this time, the gate of Huaipu City opened, and Tian Yu also led his men to fight out, killing Fan Neng and other rout soldiers who had just run ashore, and they were also routed and suffered heavy casualties.

"Jump the gang, and capture the ships and enemy soldiers." Lu Su decided the overall situation, and instead of letting the warships rush forward, he let the soldiers jump off the big boats to collect Fan Neng's boats. Now these are all trophies. Crashed waste.

The battle without any suspense ended quickly, Fan Neng was captured alive by Tian Yu, surrendered five thousand troops, and took Huaipu City.

On the other side, after Liu Yao led an army of [-] troops to the south of the city and returned, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin immediately set up a boat to attack Huaiyin after receiving the news.

At this time, there were not many soldiers guarding Huaiyin. Seeing Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others coming to attack, the Bu family in the city responded and captured the city gate. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin took it without any cost.

"Gongyi is here for you, I'll go after Liu Yao!"

Zhou Tai left Jiang Qin to chase south with the main force. After receiving the news, Lu Su and Tian Yu of Huaipu on this side, Lu Su stayed to defend the city and asked Tian Yu to pursue Liu Yao as well.

Liu Yao's [-] troops marched southward, and passed through Ping'an and Gaoyou. These two cities heard that Liu Yao had been besieged, and the [-] Yangzhou army had no way out, so they closed their cities to support Zhao Yu.

Helpless, Liu Yao had no choice but to go south around the city. The [-] army had no food and grass, and their morale was even lower.

"How many people are there in our army?" Liu Yao asked regretfully just after leaving Gaoyou.

Only now did he understand what Liu Ye said, why there was no need to continue this battle.

Because there is no confidence anymore, the soldiers have no desire to fight.

General Yu Mi reported: "My lord, there are still 4000 troops!"

All of a sudden ran six thousand!

It was like a sharp arrow piercing Liu Yao's chest.

The second floor is gone before you hit it.

"Report! My lord is in trouble, the enemy general Zhou Tai led the troops to chase after me!"

This is another arrow pierced into Liu Yao's heart.

Why did this guy Zhou Tai run so fast? He came after him.

"What should we do now?" Liu Yao was completely flustered at this time, and he didn't ask how many troops Zhou Tai had brought. He came all the way from Huaiyin, and he didn't even have a place to rest in the city. How could he have the confidence to fight.

Yu Mi said: "My lord, give 6000 people to the last general, I will block Zhou Tai."

Liu Yao wanted to say something, but in the end he could only slap Yu Mi hard: "General Yu is really loyal and courageous. If you can return to Yangzhou, you must be the commander of the three armies and the commander of my land and water."

So Yu Mi led 6000 troops to intercept Zhou Tai, and Liu Yao continued to go to Guangling City with [-] troops.

"kill!"

Soon Zhou Tai chased him, and Yu Mi led six thousand to fight with him.

"The enemy general Zhou Tai will die!" Yu Mi rode a brown horse and charged at Zhou Tai with a knife.

Zhou Tai was holding an arc saber in his hand, when he saw the enemy general rushing to kill him, his expression remained motionless, he waited for the opponent to slash him first, then he raised the saber and slashed.

The two horses missed, and Yu Mi fell off the horse. Zhou Tai ignored him, rushed straight into the enemy army, and then slashed left and right.

Yu Mi died in battle, and the [-] Yangzhou soldiers suddenly lost their intention to fight and fled. Zhou Tai hacked and killed for a while, and began to chase the captured Yangzhou soldiers.

At this time, a team passed by from the east, and this team was also flying the Donglai flag, and there was also a field flag.

Zhou Tai was very happy at first, and a friendly army came, but in the end, he just ran a few horses to report to him: "General Zhou Tai, my captain said that you can rest assured to catch prisoners here, and we will help you catch up with Liu Yao." I will never let that guy run away."

"I..." Zhou Tai wanted to slash someone with his knife.

If you want to be more important than a Yu Mi, how can Liu Yao be more important, this damn Yu Mi, you don't have any force to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf to intercept Lao Tzu, now it's all right, let the later Tian Yu rush ahead.
