Li Hao took the lead and rushed out of the enemy's vanguard fleet, and along with him, there were eight other battleships. Li Hao glanced back at the battlefield behind him, the one that did not rush out, it seemed that there was a problem with the wheelhouse, and it was spinning in place, several scarred enemy ships approached, a pair of anchor claws were thrown on top of the warship, and the enemy was jumping onto the warship with a knife. Fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out on the ship.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze and looked at the second wave of enemy ships in front.

"Hurry up, rush over!" He snapped.

He wasn't too worried about what was behind him, because the small ships under his command had already rushed over and joined the warband, and the last madness of the enemy, who had been beaten to pieces, would soon be extinguished by them.

The only thing that worries him a little is whether the ship, which has lost its direction, can repair the wheelhouse as quickly as possible and join the final battle.

After all, he only has ten large warships, and if he loses one, his combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced.

With the experience of the forward fleet, the second wave of enemy ships obviously became wiser, and at the forefront, they sent extremely fast small boats to meet them, these small boats were maneuverable, twisting and turning like loaches on the river, and soon approached the Tang warships, which suddenly burst into flames, and the soldiers on board turned over and jumped off the boat.

The hull of the ship shook slightly, and these small boats leaned on the anchor nails in the bow and nailed to the body of the Tang warship, and the blazing flames licked and ate the ship's gang.

The Tang soldiers on the deck lifted the heavy iron anchor, smashed it down with a bang, and the boat was punctured, and the river churned and poured into the boat, and the fire quickly subsided.

The winch in the bow of the ship rumbled, and boulders were thrown out and flew towards the large enemy ships farther away.

The enemy ships, which flew more scattered and had an extremely long battle line, effectively avoided greater losses this time, and in several rounds of attacks, only two enemy ships suffered heavy losses.

More enemy ships swarmed up.

The hull of the ship shook violently, and Li Hao's warship was hit by two flat-headed warships on the left and right sides at the same time, and the enemy generals who operated the ship were obviously veterans on the water, and they used their superb boat-driving skills to avoid Li Hao's front and collided with them from both sides at the same time.

Li Hao almost fell on the deck, and when he saw the boat gangs on both sides that were broken, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Accelerate, forward, get rid of!" He drew his sword, jumped down from the command platform on the second floor, and landed on the first deck with a thud, and at this moment, from both sides, there was already a steady stream of enemies pouring on his battleship.

As a command ship, Li Hao's warship has been targeted by opponents for a long time. At this moment, the two largest warships in Pinglu are also relying on help. Such a warship can carry more than 100 warriors on board.

"Kill!" Li Hao raised his knife and shouted.

On the Tang battleship, there didn't seem to be too many manpower before, but at this moment, one by one, the hatches suddenly opened, and from the inside, groups of Tang troops poured out and killed the deck.

The lowered sail suddenly rose, and after adjusting the angle of the sail, the battleship began to slowly accelerate, and it actually dragged the two Pinglu battleships that were docked all the way up.

In front of him, hundreds of shirtless men were holding on to the handrails in front of him, and their legs were pressed on the blades in front of them.

The drums are getting faster and faster, and the big men are stepping on the blades faster and faster, and correspondingly, the speed of the battleship is getting faster and faster.

On the bow of the ship, Li Hao slashed an enemy on the opposite side to the ground with a single sword, and beside him, two guards held a shield to protect him left and right, so that he could concentrate on moving forward.

The Tang troops on the battleship were only wearing half-body armor, which only weighed more than ten pounds and would not have much impact on the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but the protection of the soldiers was very effective.

The number of enemies who poured into Li Hao's battleship was about more than 300 people, and Li Hao's battleship was only more than 200 people when it was full, and the combatants had to subtract those wrestlers in the bottom bilge.

But above the bow, it was the Tang Army that had the upper hand.

The combat effectiveness of both sides was vividly demonstrated at this moment. Even in such a narrow space on the ship, the Tang army still formed an effective battle group combat mode, with some people attacking and some defending, just like Li Hao, when he was concentrating on cutting the enemy, there were always two guards on the left and right to prevent him from attacking left and right. There were even people standing on high places, holding crossbow arrows, shooting at the soldiers of the Pinglu Army one by one. There aren't many such crossbowmen, but they do a lot of damage.

Li Hao attaches great importance to this water division, so when he took these people to Haixing for special training, he selected the most elite soldiers, these tigers who were originally cloaked on land, after two years of training, became dragons on the water.

Above deck, there was a river of blood.

There are fewer and fewer soldiers in Pinglu, but on the deck, there are more and more Tang soldiers in iron armor.

When Li Hao kicked a Pinglu general in front of him into the water, the speed of the battleship also increased to the fastest, and directly in front, a small Pinglu warship watched in despair as the enemy's tall battleship crushed over like a mountain, and one by one turned over and jumped into the water with a shout.

With the sound of clicking, the small Pinglu warship was forced into the water by Li Hao's ship. Li Hao, who stepped on the hideous tiger head on the bow of the boat, looked at the Pinglu soldiers who were desperately swimming to both sides with a cruel smile, and were ruthlessly run under the water by the big boat.

It's hard for these people to survive.

The battleship rushed out, with an unobstructed view ahead, and the enemy warship could no longer be seen, Li Hao looked up at his own sail that was burning, waved his hand, and the sail fell with a bang, and the soldiers rushed up, slashed the sail rope, and lifted the sail into the water.

"Turn the rudder!" Li Hao casually wiped the blood from the knife on the corpse of an enemy on the ground, and said sharply.

Liu Xinda on the shore desperately watched the Pinglu Naval Division, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, being ravaged and crushed by the Tang Army's naval division, and watched his own warships lose power and drift with the tide, watching his own warships burning, watching his own warships huddle each other, but there were no longer any active soldiers on the boats, and when he saw the only remaining warships, he could no longer care about fighting the enemy.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, on the defense line of the Pinglu Army, which was more than ten miles long, tens of thousands of Pinglu soldiers witnessed the tragic defeat of the sailors.

On the other side, the sound of cheers moved above the nine heavens, and in the rumbling of war drums, the infantry army slowly moved towards the river, and the sailors won a great victory, and then, naturally, it was their turn to cross the river to fight.

"Lead, get ready to fight!" Liu Xinda gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

The sailor was defeated, but he still had the Yellow River, the tidal flats and silt of Kuandari Shuri, and other natural barriers. If Tang Jun wanted to go ashore easily, he still had to ask him first if he would agree.

Above the river, the Tang Army's naval division has begun to clean up the battlefield and reap the results.

Many Pinglu naval warships were trapped on the river, unable to advance or retreat, at this moment can only raise the white flag to surrender to the Tang army, the Tang army's small boats shuttle back and forth on the river, holding a hook in their hands, but whenever they see someone stretching out their hands to call for help, they scratch the hook past, hook the person over, drag it onto the boat, and immediately tie it up and throw it in the cabin. They are also extremely clever in tying people up, a thin rope firmly binds the opponent's two thumbs, and the opponent can no longer have the heart to resist.

These sailors, if they can catch them alive, they will catch them alive, this is Li Hao's order. After all, it is much more difficult to train a qualified sailor than a qualified army soldier.

The sailor, in the final analysis, is still a technical branch.

When there were no more floating heads on the river, the Tang Navy began to bring in the broken or intact enemy ships one by one, and then tied them together, and the superstructures of the big ships were mercilessly dismantled, and the removed wooden planks were laid on these ships. A pontoon bridge over the river stretches rapidly from the north bank to the south bank.

The scarred Tang warship slowly leaned to the south bank, the springboard was lowered, and groups of Tang soldiers stepped on the gangplank and got onto the warship, and the battle was over, and now they had to use it as a transport ship to transport the Tang army's foot soldiers to the opposite bank. A pontoon bridge alone is not enough.

"On the opposite bank there are tidal flats about a few miles long, silt ground, and it is extremely difficult to pass!" Li Hao looked at Cheng Xu, who was the pioneer, and said in a deep voice.

"Liu Xinda didn't strike at the pontoon bridge, the meaning of the warship was to kill and injure a large number of our landing soldiers in this place, on such a ground, it is difficult to move forward, and it is not easy to retreat."

"We're all ready!" Cheng Xu pointed to the soldiers who were boarding the ship, each of them carrying a piece of wood or bundles of branches and thatch. "There are always more solutions than difficulties."

"I was able to provide you with some ranged attacks, but only ten ships, and limited capabilities."

"It doesn't matter, we have our own large trebuchets and we can assemble them after crossing the river." Cheng Xu said with a smile: "General Li Zhonglang has made a great contribution and opened our eyes, and next, it's up to us." ”

"We'll see!" Li Hao laughed, and the blood and water on the armor fell to the ground with drops.
