He waved his hands desperately, fortunately grabbed a cable, but then the hull of the ship leaned more and more, Jiang Zhengyang let out a frightened scream, seeing that the deck and the lake were almost vertical, if he held on to the cable, he was likely to be detained underwater by the ship, he suddenly let go of the cable, while screaming, he fell into the icy lake water, the heavy armor took him to the water, Jiang Zhengyang tried his best to tear off the armor, but the body was still sinking, he waved his hands helplessly, and was lucky to grab a log, Panting, he climbed up and saw that the ship he had been on was slowly sinking into the lake, and he was surrounded by soldiers screaming for help.
Not far away, a small boat passed in front of him, and a person standing on the boat was holding a knife, but it was Ruan Jingwu, the second leader of Heishui Village.
Jiang Zhengyang seemed to have seen a savior, and shouted hoarsely: "Ruan Dangjia save me" Ruan Jingwu heard Jiang Zhengyang's voice, but he didn't turn around, and said to his subordinates: "The second master, it's Lord Jiang."
Ruan Jingwu gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry about him, just let that stupid pig fend for itself" If it weren't for Jiang Zhengyang's insistence that all the ships leave together, he would not have fallen to this step.
Jiang Zhengyang seems to be shrewd, but in fact he is stupid, Ruan Jingwu believes that this well-trained fleet must follow Jiang Zhengyang's team, and has been lying in ambush here waiting for the opportunity, just waiting for this opportunity to catch them all.
Ruan Jingwu looked at the burning lake, he didn't feel sorry for the 100,000 stone grain brought by Jiang Zhengyang, what made him feel sad was the five hundred ships, in order to transport food, they sent almost all the ships in Heishui Village, Ma Xingkong did not send too many sailors to accompany Jiang Zhengyang in order to reassure Jiang Zhengyang, but this decision led to the destruction of their fleet.
Jiang Zhengyang hugged the driftwood.
Looking at the small boat in the distance in almost despair, he was still excited about the grand plans for the future, and in an instant he had fallen into the abyss from which he could not recover.
The hard-earned 100,000 stone grain was gone, and the most ridiculous thing was that until now, he didn't know who launched this attack on him.
The eastern sky was tinged with a hint of fish's belly white.
An increasingly clear demarcation between water and sky appeared, dawn came in blood, and under the command of Li Yongfu, the fleet began to patrol the scene, shooting the soldiers who still survived.
Hu Xiaotian sat leisurely on the deck drinking fragrant tea, his back was facing the side of the war, his eyes were focused on the east where dawn first came, the sky was about to dawn, Long Xuanen would swallow a bitter fruit for his poor understanding.
As for Jiang Zhengyang, he is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and this person's vision and pattern are really poor.
Li Yongfu rushed to Hu Xiaotian's side to report to him the latest battle situation, and the 500 grain ships in Heishui Village were completely annihilated by them, and none of them were spared, except for a few water thieves who fled in lifeboats, and most of the enemy troops had been buried in the icy lake.
The other party's main general, Jiang Zhengyang, had a fateful life, and he had just been captured by them.
Li Yongfu said: "My lord."
What should Jiang Zhengyang do?"
Hu Xiaotian looked at the eastern sky, and a morning sun was slowly rising between the sky and water.
The sky and the lake are as red as blood.
Hu Xiaotian took a sip of tea and said softly: "Bring it back to Wuxing County, I want to ask him and Xingzhou about their plans." ” "Yes" Jiang Zhengyang still had 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Qinglong Bay, and Zuda was responsible for staying behind, and they had already noticed it when the lake was on fire, but it was too far away.
They didn't know what was going on, and vaguely guessed that there might have been a battle, but they didn't know who the two sides were, what the battle was like, and whether they had ships in their hands.
They could only stay in a daze in Qinglong Bay until dawn, and only then did the soldiers who escaped return to Qinglong Bay in a lifeboat and cry about being attacked.
Zu Da only realized that it was over, the coach Jiang Zhengyang didn't know whether he was dead or alive, Zu Da became the backbone of more than 20,000 people, but the food and grass they had left was really limited, at most it was to maintain a day's food, and if they lost their food, it was a dead end to go to Kangdu, and they went to the Blackwater Gang, but they were afraid that people would not accept it, and it would not be long before Jiang Zhengyang's self-theft would spread all over the world, and they would all be connected.
Zu Da thought about it and led his troops to White Spring City first, at least he could have a place to live. led 20,000 soldiers to Baiquan City, but found that the city gate was closed, the drawbridge was hanging high, Zuda shouted to the city wall to open the door, but he didn't expect that Zuo Xingjian had returned to Baiquan City in advance, and saw Zuda leading the crowd to come instead of opening the door, but ordered to expel the arrows.
Zu Da had no choice but to give up his plan to enter Baiquan City, and the only thing left at present was to return to Yunyang, but from Baiquan City to Yunyang, even if they kept traveling day and night, it would take three days and three nights, and they didn't have much food and grass left, so they couldn't support it there.
Besides, the soldiers under him suddenly lost 100,000 stone of grain, and slipped from the peak of excitement to the trough in an instant, and all of them became extremely depressed, they all knew that the future was bleak, even if they arrived in Yunyang, they would inevitably be chased by the imperial court, but in the current situation, they had no way back.
The water battle that happened in Yunze did not make too many waves, of course Hu Xiaotian's side would not take the initiative to publicize it, the gang of water thieves in Heishui Village suffered a big loss, and they could not determine where the seventy warships came from, Ma Xingkong went through this battle, which can be described as a great loss of vitality, not only did he get a share of the 100,000 stone grain, but lost most of the ships, Ma Xingkong could only retreat in Bixin Mountain to recuperate, and he was afraid that it would take several years to recover.
As for Zuo Xingjian, he reported to the imperial court immediately after returning to Baiquan City, in order to clear himself, of course he would not say that he and Jiang Zhengyang colluded with each other, and put all the responsibility on Jiang Zhengyang, and said that Jiang Zhengyang saw the grain uprising, the prison guarded and stole himself, and the water thieves who colluded with Yunze intended to take the grain to Bixin Mountain to join the water thieves in Heishui Village, how did he expect that the water thieves in Heishui Village wanted to swallow the grain, so he set a trap in Yunze, and wiped out all the people who boarded the ship and snatched the food.
Zuo Xingjian believes that Jiang Zhengyang will definitely die, naturally there is no proof of death, and the remaining more than 20,000 remnants of Jiang Zhengyang are like lost dogs, panicking all day long, and if they cause such a catastrophe, they will definitely fall into a situation where everyone shouts and beats.
Although Zuo Xingjian brought thousands of his subordinates to meet Jiang Zhengyang, no one knew that he had reached an agreement with Jiang Zhengyang, and it was also his duty to help escort the transportation team.
Jiang Zhengyang's grain transport team lost its trace overnight, Zu Da led 20,000 remnants along the Wangchun River to the north, although the snow stopped, but the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, these soldiers all knew what happened, the reason why they were willing to follow Jiang Zhengyang in the past was not to see that they could fill their stomachs, now the food is gone, and there is a charge of stealing the imperial grain, no one can see where the future lies, Zu Da only said that he would take them back to Yunyang first, However, there were more than 5,000 soldiers who fled within a day, and Zuda had no choice but to do about it, so he took the remaining more than 10,000 horses to Tongyuan Bridge in hunger and cold, wanting to cross the Wangchun River from here and go to Yunyang.
When I came to the front of the Tongyuan Bridge, I saw a black-helmeted and black-armored general in the center of the bridge riding on a black horse, standing proudly on the Tongyuan Bridge with a double hammer in his hand.
Xiong Tianba waited here for a long time under Yu Tianxing's order, Yu Tianxing calculated that Jiang Zhengyang's remnants would cross the river from here and flee to Yunyang, according to Yu Tianxing's pre-estimate, there might be 15,000 people left here, but in fact, the situation of the other party's soldiers fleeing was more serious than he imagined, and there were only 12,000 people left when they came to Tongyuan Bridge.
Xiong Tianba raised the sledgehammer in his right hand, and shouted majestically: "Oh, I am the pioneer of Lord Hu's subordinates, Xiong Tianba is also, you will wait for the death as soon as possible."
Xiong Tianba's prestige has already been spread through the two successive battles of Dayong, and the fact that he alone blocked Dayong's 15,000 troops in Bailakou is even more widely praised, Zuda heard that it was him, his face changed, but in front of them there was only one way to cross the river, if they could not cross the river, they would be trapped in this area, and it would not be long before all forces would come to encircle and suppress them, and they would only have a dead end.
Zuda said: "Who is willing to take the lead in the battle?"
The generals behind him looked at each other one by one, and they all said that the mourning soldiers would win, but how could the morale of these soldiers be so low that they could have a chance to win.
Zu Da turned to look, but it was the guerrilla general Zhan Hongsheng, who had always been good friends with him, and when he was in danger, he nodded and said, "Be careful." ” Zhan Hongsheng took off the big gun and said indifferently: "A stinky child, how capable can he be, the general will see me take off his head" Zhan Hongsheng took the reins of his horse and slowly walked out of the queue to the bridge deck.
The black horse under the crotch paused after stepping on the bridge, and Zhan Hongsheng said loudly: "I am Zhan Hongsheng, the guerrilla general under the tent of Lord Jiang of Yunyang, and I will quickly retreat and get out of the way, otherwise I will definitely take your life."
His words were full of momentum, and the soldiers behind him seemed to have regained some confidence when they heard his words, and they cheered him up, to say that this Zhan Hongsheng is also a fierce general in Yunyang.
Zu Da secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Zhan Hongsheng could defeat Xiong Tianba, and only in this way could these low-morale soldiers regain their confidence and force their way across the Wangchun River, and when they reached the other side, they might be able to have a way to live.
Xiong Tianba laughed: "Grandma, what do you say, come and send you to death" to be continued:
