The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 360 Since ancient times, Fu Jian is the most powerful, making false statements and making strategies to die

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were millions of warriors, and there were all kinds of people.

Some are finally court, and some are ambitious.Some are upright and some are sinister and cunning.

Among them, there are naturally some strong men who are really good at fighting and capable.

Huainan Jiedushi Yang Xingmi is one of them.

This military and political strongman who carried Zhu Wen to the south and created the state of Wu in history, received the support of many forces, and tried his best to resist Li Yunze's southward movement in the Jianghuai area where the water network is everywhere.

Like many heroes in the late Tang Dynasty, Yang Xingmi was born as a rebel.

After being recruited by the imperial court, he performed well, and transformed himself into a big man guarding one side.

Huang Chao failed to break through the city of Chang'an, but was wiped out ahead of time. This incident led to a deflection in history.

Here in Lianghuai, it is manifested that Gao Pian, who had a secret agreement with Huang Chao, lost power.

Gao Pian, whose subordinates betrayed one after another, soon lost his power and life.

Afterwards, all the heroes in the two Huaihe Rivers rose together, and it wasn't until Li Yunze began to control the Xuanwu Army that Yang Xingmi rose from the crowd and became the new boss.

Yang Xingmi is very capable, not only quickly integrating many forces, but also able to effectively use the geographical advantages of mountains, rivers and rivers to fight against Li Yunze's powerful army.

Whether it is armored cavalry or countless armored soldiers, it is difficult to perform in this geographical environment.

The geographical environment of more than 1000 years ago was different from that of the modern world, especially the south was not as developed as the north, and it could be said to be full of thorns and swamps.

Yang Xingmi set up defenses in key areas, and cooperated with the navy boats to cut off all kinds of harassment vertically and horizontally, which indeed brought troubles to Li Yunze.

On the bank of the Huai River, Li Yunze looked at the retreating fleet on the water, with a gleam of fire in his eyes.

'Dog thief!Bully me too much! '

Li Yunze was very angry that Yang Xingmi kept using water to harass him.

Don't dare to face yourself head-on, only dare to play these conspiracies and tricks, it's really embarrassing!

Taking a deep breath, Li Yunze asked the generals behind him, "What did Shi Pu say?"

"Wu Ning's army didn't respond, but they gathered their troops in the Suzhou area."

Hearing this, Li Yunze laughed, "Looking for death."

Shi Pu, the Jiedu envoy of the Wuning Army, had previously colluded with Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin brothers to attack Li Yunze. After he escaped by chance, he was afraid of being attacked and offered to surrender.

Now, it is obvious that he has once again joined the anti-Li Yunze siege network.

Some generals came forward and suggested, "Huaishui is not easy, why not go and destroy the Wuning Army first?"

After Huaixi Town was wiped out, the Huaihe and Huaihe areas fell into the hands of Yang Xingmi.He has a powerful navy that can be quickly transferred from Yangzhou to Huaishui through the Grand Canal to prevent Li Yunze from crossing the river.

The Xuanwu Army, lacking a navy, was abruptly blocked on the north bank of the Huai River.

Li Yunze, who was looking at the mountains on the other side, suddenly asked, "Is Bagong Mountain on the opposite side?"

The generals were puzzled, but they hurriedly responded, "It is indeed Bagong Mountain."

"Yang Xingmi wants to be a child, but I'm not Fu Jian!"

"Throwing the whip to cut off the flow is nothing, look at me throwing the iron Hengjiang to be unparalleled in the world."

Li Yunze waved his hand, turned around and issued a military order, "Everyone get ready, we will cross the river in a few days."

All the generals looked at each other, first accepted the order, and then raised doubts, "Jiedu, our navy can't beat Yang Xingmi."

"We'll be able to beat it soon." Li Yunze laughed. "This section will open your eyes and see what an iron-clad ship is!"

Early the next morning, a strange boat suddenly appeared in a lake near the camp of the Chinese Army connected to the Huai River.

The strange thing about this boat is that it has no sails or oars.

How does a boat move without sails or oars?If it can't move, why is it called a ship?
When I got closer to observe, something even more astonishing happened, this ship was actually an iron ship!
It is so strange that such a heavy iron did not sink in the water.

Li Yunze didn't care about those curious guys, he took a group of specially trained people on board, and spent a few days getting familiar with the operating procedures of their respective positions.

Needless to say, this is a large fishing boat purchased by Li Yunze from the modern world.

In order to operate the ship, Li Yunze broke down the tasks that one person could be responsible for several jobs into one job that several people can do.

Although the manpower has been increased, the operation steps have been simplified, and it is most suitable for the people of Tang Dynasty who have never been exposed to these things.

Moreover, this fishing boat was sent to the shipyard and spent money to refit it in the dock.

Not only has the strength of the hull been specially strengthened, but also a ram angle has been added to the bow, and moon blades made of alloy steel have been installed below the waterline on both sides of the ship.

The moon blade, which is close to the length of the hull, extends outward for more than one foot.

When passing by the enemy ship when it meets, it can directly disembowel it.

In order to deal with the fire attack of Yang Xingmi's troops, jumping gang battles, shooting sticks and other attack methods, the deck was directly welded with iron sheets, and the inside was garrisoned by soldiers.

After the recruited temporary crew barely adapted to his job, Li Yunze immediately steered the big iron boat towards Shouzhou City on the other side under the escort of a group of sailors' wooden boats.

Not surprisingly, nearly [-] ships, large and small, quickly drove out of the water village on the other side, heading straight towards the Xuanwu Army Navy in a menacing manner.

The Xuanwu Army also had more than a hundred wooden boats, but they lacked qualified sailors, so the previous confrontations always ended in defeat.

But now it's different. When the fleet on the opposite side came out, the Xuanwu Army navy quickly stepped aside, revealing an ironclad ship without sails or oars!

In terms of the level of ships in this era, this fishing boat is enough to sweep.

Li Yunze, who was at the helm himself, continued to accelerate towards the opposite side.

Powerful power, solid hull, sharp ram and moon blade.

Ironclad warships are like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and they sink one by one and break into pieces.It doesn't matter whether you are a big boat or a small boat, as long as you encounter it, it will be a result.

The powerful naval divisions of the Huai and Huai armies were directly stunned at this moment.

They had never seen such a thing before, and it looked like a monster.

The monsters are not scary, what is really scary is that the Lianghuai navy has used all the tricks, all kinds of tricks are used, but they can't beat them at all.

Don't talk about fighting, you can't even catch up.

Mobility, firepower, and protection are all Zenith star-level fishing battleships in this era. After several rounds of charging, they quickly defeated the Lianghuai Navy.

Immediately, a large number of Xuanwu troops crossed the river in boats and arrived at the city of Shouzhou.

Li Yunze planned to surround the city after the follow-up soldiers and horses crossed the river, so that he could use mining medicine to destroy the city and wipe out all the defenders in the city.

But what surprised him was that the defenders didn't defend the city at all, and directly sent out the whole army to attack the Xuanwu army who came ashore.

A fierce battle broke out on the river beach between the two sides.

Xuanwu's army fought well in the water, if not for Li Yunze's fishing boats and battleships, they would not even be able to cross the Huai River.

But the Xuanwu Army soldiers who went ashore were alive and well.

The Xuanwu army formed a formation with their backs against the water, desperately resisting the onslaught of the defenders.

When the Navy arrived from the opposite bank to transport the second batch of reinforcements crossing the river, the Huaihe Army and the Huaihe Army withdrew their troops.

What's even more exaggerated is that the Lianghuai Army never returned to Shouzhou City at all, and simply retreated along Bagong Mountain.

Li Yunze's armored cavalry were on the other side and did not come over. They couldn't catch up and could only watch the two Huai troops run away.

Interrogation of the prisoners after the war revealed that Yang Xingmi had commanded operations in Shouzhou City before.

As for why they did not defend the city, the captives said that the Xuanwu army would summon thunder from the sky, and the city could not be defended at all, so Yang Jiedu said that he would not defend the city.

I have to say that Yang Xingmi is indeed quite difficult.If you don't defend the city and fight guerrilla warfare with him, there will be some fighting in this geographical environment.

"There is no simple one who can leave a name in history books."

Facing Yang Xingmi's guerrilla tactics, Li Yunze could only choose to fight.

The countermeasure he chose was to first occupy the cities of various prefectures and counties.Distribute the defenders and supplies, and wait for Yang Xingmi to take the initiative to contribute.

Guerrilla warfare in this era is not as easy as imagined, and the regular army can easily become stragglers if they lose their cities.

Among other things, various necessities of life cannot be provided by the countryside.

Li Yunze sealed off the main roads between the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, and after occupying the salt field, Yang Xingmi couldn't even get enough salt.

But the surprise is that it has been almost two months since the blockade of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, Yang Xingmi is still able to hold his breath, only attacking the logistics and transportation troops, but not attacking the city.

Li Yunze, who was stationed in Yangzhou with armored cavalry, once again used his power to buy a group of talents and learned that it was Zhou Bao from the Jiangnan Township Navy, and then secretly provided material support to Yang Xingmi.

There is nothing much to say, the fishing boats and battleships reappeared, leading the navy ships to block the river.They also sent envoys to threaten Zhou Bao, "If you are disobedient, you will beat him next." '

Zhou Bao said that he was not intimidated, and he was still providing support for Yang Xingmi.

It's just that the fleet was hit and sunk one after another, and even Li Yunze personally drove a fishing boat and battleship into the naval camp in Zhenhai Town to wreak havoc, burning down his water camp, and only then did he curb his madness.

The armored cavalry took the initiative to attack, constantly sorting out and driving away, reducing the scope of activities of Yang Xingmi's department.

Yang Xingmi, who was short of supplies, lost his mind and had no choice but to besiege the county town forcibly, trying to break through the city and loot supplies.

It turned out that a small county town was besieged for several days and could not be defeated. When Li Yunze came to reinforce with armored cavalry, he defeated it in a single battle.

Yang Xingmi fled in embarrassment and crossed the river to join the Zhenhai Navy.

Li Yunze, who took over the land of Huaihe River, began to appease the place.

However, Wei Bo Town in the north sent envoys at this time to ask Li Yunze for more money, food and supplies.

Li Yunze was also unambiguous, giving as much as he wanted.

Things that can be solved with money are nothing.

Li Yunze couldn't help laughing that he could buy [-] troops in Weibo town to serve him with money and food.

Zhaoyi, Heyang, Pinglu, Lulong, Yichang, Hedong and other towns in the north were all restrained by Weibo Town, and they couldn't go south to attack Li Yunze.

They also sent envoys to try to persuade Wei Bozhen to let them understand what it means to have cold lips and teeth.

But Wei Bozhen's response was very simple. If he wanted us to fight the Xuanwu Army, it would be fine, as long as we paid more money and food than the Xuanwu Army gave.

Not to mention that they couldn't get it out, even if they could get out so much money and food, they had to satisfy the appetites of their warriors first.

Not satisfying the appetite of the warriors under his command, take it out to Wei Bozhen?
I really thought that only the dental soldiers from Weibo Town would kill my own Jiedu envoy in this world!
