Chapter 569: Recapture Dongting Lake


Chen Chang, the leaders of these officers and soldiers, did not notice anything abnormal, but thought that this was the result of their own proper strategy and high morale, and rushed into the water village in a hurry.

Looking at the dilapidated wooden houses and boats inside, Chen Chang smiled proudly: "You group of water cowards, Ben Shuai still thinks that you still have some iron walls here, it turns out that it is just these dilapidated things, just with these, you dare to confront the heavenly soldiers, it is simply self-defeating, and now it's too late to regret it, hahaha." ” Zhong Xiang had already suffered several injuries at this time, and the blood stained several clothes on his body red, but he still did not have the slightest panic and fear, looked at Chen Chang and sneered: "Dog official, the old man has been crisscrossing Dongting Lake for thirty or forty years, although he is defeated today, it is just the will of God, it's not that you have anything great, you just rely on the strength of the crowd, hum, the old man doesn't take you in his eyes at all, if you have the guts, do you dare to come into the house and fight the old man, even if the old man is injured, it is more than enough to kill you." ” Chen Chang was furious, pointed at Zhong Xiang and scolded: "The old man who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he dares to speak wildly when he dies, Ben Shuai just disdains to do it with you thieves, I really think I'm afraid that you will come, bring my weapon over, and see how I torture and kill this old dog."

The officers and soldiers were in a very relaxed mood at the moment, knowing that the marshal was now coming to pick peaches, and everyone's credit after this big victory was not small, especially Chen Chang must be the first merit, and finally after fighting dozens of rounds with his own hands, he cut down the enemy's head with a knife, so what a majesty it should be to write it in the merit book Everyone is not worried about his safety, Chen Chang is already strong in martial arts, and he is full of energy, and the Zhong Xiang on the opposite side is not only a lot older, but also fought hard for a long time, and there are several injuries on his body, from any point of view, it is impossible to be the opponent of the handsome, the soldiers hurriedly carried Chen Chang's big knife, and made protective preparations on both sides, just in case, Chen Chang was complacent and jumped on the floor of the wooden house where Zhong Xiang was.

He pointed to the bell and shouted: "Old horseman, don't panic, Ben Shuai is here, see how I cut off your dog's head" A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Zhong Xiang's face: "Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so fooled, and you were fooled with a slight agitation, and the old man could barely pull you to be a cushion this time." ” Chen Chang felt that something was wrong, and after a closer look, he suddenly found that the people in the room behind Zhong Xiang had already begun to set fire, and then a pungent smell of gunpowder came, Chen Chang knew that it was not good, and the cold sweat on his head suddenly came down, he couldn't care about scolding Zhong Xiang and them anymore at this time, and roared while running backwards: "It's a plan, everyone listen to my orders, and retreat quickly." ” At this moment, those officers and soldiers also panicked, and hurriedly supported the boat backwards, diving into the water, and were busy in a mess, when they heard rumbling explosions one after another, and the entire water village was instantly on fire, and all the people were swept in.

At this time, the gunpowder was already quite powerful, but it could not be perfectly added to the long-range weapons, but the destructive power of this fixed-point blasting was still great, after an earth-shattering explosion, the entire water village regardless of the wooden houses, broken walls, fences, warehouses, large and small ships were destroyed, and the rest were also flames.

Not to mention the flesh and blood of the people who were even like this, Zhong Xiang who was in the center of the explosion and nearly a thousand of them were all killed, and the officers and soldiers were slightly better due to the distance, but they also suffered more than half of the casualties, including Chen Chang, who was hit by Zhong Xiangji's general, he ran too close, although it was too late to find the danger and want to escape, this time the opportunity to "fight for dozens of rounds with a knife" is gone, presumably the final report of the document has become "Dozens of rounds of fierce battles with the enemy, Just as he was about to capture the other party, he unexpectedly fell for a treacherous trick and perished with the enemy."

The officers and soldiers who escaped by luck and the periphery were panicked at this time like a bird with a frightened bow, like a fish that slipped through the net, desperately scattered in all directions, and after hearing the explosion, Yang Mi and those Dongting Lake heroes knew in their hearts that Zhong Xiang and those brothers who stayed behind had already calculated, but at this time it was impossible for anyone to be happy, with Du Jia's order, they immediately rushed out with red eyes, Du Jia was afraid that they would lose, so that the Ruan family brothers and the Zhang family brothers also took more than 1,000 people from Liangshan to protect on both wings, He and Hua Rong were in the middle to command and dispatch.

There were about seven or eight thousand officers and soldiers involved this time, and about seven or eight hundred casualties were killed and wounded in the siege battle during the day, and then more than three thousand casualties were killed and wounded by Zhong Xiang's sacrifice in the previous one, and the rest were not even half of them, and the morale was low, and most of the senior officers led by Chen Chang were also killed, completely like headless flies and half running around, and although there were only more than 2,000 people on Yang Qi's side, the morale was everywhere, and they were all angry, seeing that the officers and soldiers were gritting their teeth, The combat power of the two sides is clear at a glance.

Therefore, as soon as the officers and soldiers touched the team of Dongting Lake, they were rushed out of a big hole, with countless casualties, and then they were swept away by the teams on both wings of Liangshan that followed, and they were even more embarrassed, and they collapsed after holding out for less than half an hour.

Originally, many heroes of Dongting Lake did not even intend to let go of the captives, but they were stopped by Du Jia, he has always pursued the ominous policy of killing and surrendering, and since these people have laid down their arms, it is not a good man to kill these people who have no power to fight back.

Then they returned to the previous water village, cleaned up the remains of Zhong Xiang's brothers who sacrificed their lives, and then put them on a big boat after a memorial service, and let the boat drift while burning at the same time, and finally all turned into ashes and sank into the water, which is also the tradition of Dongting Lake, born on the water, Zhang on the water, and finally died on the water, and everything returned to Dongting Lake for the rest of his life.

Then Du Jia took Yang Qi and they began to attack the remnants of dozens of water villages in accordance with the formation map, these water villages were originally just to prevent a small group of water thieves from Dongting Lake quietly escaping, each of which was only three or five hundred people, and the combined forces of Liangshan and Dongting Lake, which were added up to nearly three thousand, immediately collapsed like soup and snow, and all dispersed in less than ten days, and Dongting Lake, which had been besieged for nearly a year, finally returned to the hands of the heroes of Dongting Lake.
