Although Hu Le robbed a warship of the Qi army's sailors, it was still difficult to locate the huge number of enemy warships in the rear. After all, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, especially since there is an enemy building ship in the rear, and in addition, the catapult, the attack weapon on his own warship, has also been damaged. As long as the rear catches up, a group of warships will besiege their own ships, and it may only take a few moments for the dozen or so enemy ships to send their own ships to the bottom of the lake.

"General, the situation is not good!" Xu Wenle, who had already taken off his shirt, said with a heavy face.

"Hmmm! It's not seconds! But they want to sink us, and it's not so easy. Hold on, our army won't be long in coming! Hu Le said lightly.

At this moment, the earth-shattering drums came from the northwest of the battlefield, and the lookout post at the top of the mast of the building ship shouted excitedly, but the boulders that kept falling beside the building boat drowned out his voice. As a last resort, the watchman began to wave the small flag in his hand.

Seeing this situation, Hu Le ran to the bottom of the mast and hurriedly said, "What do you mean? "Under normal circumstances, only when the enemy situation is changed, the sailor who looks out will wave the small flag in his hand. However, now it seems that the sailor did not look nervous, which made Hu Le have a trace of understanding in his heart.

The sailors shouted loudly: "General, our army is coming, in the north-western direction!" ”

"Sure enough! Thinking about it, otherwise, there would not have been a drum sound in the northwest direction of the battlefield, that is, in the flank and rear of the Qi army's naval division.

At the same time that Hu Le discovered the situation, Fang Dahai also discovered that the situation had changed. Not only him, but even Yan Mingfeng in the rear also secretly screamed, and also found an abnormality.

Yan Mingfeng saw the situation more clearly than Hu Le, and he saw the situation more clearly. On the northwest side of the lake, black shadows suddenly appeared, they were white dots, and finally turned into pieces of sails. All the sails were red, with the flag of the sailors of the Righteous Army. The Jieyi Army came from the support of the Zhao Army, so their banners, whether they were army or navy, were all flame unicorn flags that secretly matched the Zhao Army, and they were honored by red. Of course, it's just that there is no fire unicorn. However, the red flag is also the symbol of the Zhao State. Subsequently, a large number of ships appeared on the lake, such as building boats, fighting ships, ships, boats, and yachts...... Dense, covering the sky and the sun.

"The main force of the Sailors of the Jieyi Army? How so? How did they end up here? How long does it take to arrive? Then why didn't the ships that pursued north return the favor? How did they appear in the north-west, where they were retreating after defeat? Yan Mingfeng's mind was in confusion at the moment. He could never have imagined that he could recruit the main force of the Jieyi Army's naval division in a decisive battle organized by a partial division organized by the generals sent by the Jieyi Army to persuade him to surrender.

Although Yan Mingfeng claimed to be the water master of the Qi army, he did not dare to be one of the water bandits sent by Shen Tuxiong to be responsible for recruiting water bandits. Speaking of the sky, he didn't dare to be equal to Hu Le's righteous army. Even if the Qi army gathered all the water bandits in Zhao'an, it was just on a par with the sailors of the Jieyi Army. Now that the entire strength of the other party appeared beside him all at once, how could this not surprise him, no, it should be frightened.

The main force of the Black Righteous Army's Water Division completely appeared on the lake, making the already crowded battlefield area even more crowded. The surging waves, pushing the corpses of personnel and the wreckage of warships, into the surrounding waters. And the warships of the two sides, which were originally fighting together, regardless of you and me, gradually stopped fighting and began to retreat slowly, forming a situation where the warships of the Qi army and the bandit warships of the Qi army were in the north, and the warships of the Hu Le division of the Jieyi army were in the south.

However, no matter how the situation on the battlefield changes, Yan Mingfeng, who is in the rear and has always been responsible for leading the overall situation, does not have the slightest sense of ease, and it can even be said that at this moment, there is only a helpless, powerless and sad expression on his face. Helplessness and powerlessness naturally mean that the current strength in his hands is not enough to deal with the main force of the Jieyi Army. As for grief and indignation, at this moment, Yan Mingfeng already understood that the so-called invitation to fight by the Jieyi Army this time was simply a ruse, and they simply wanted to wipe themselves out, so that they didn't even have a chance to retreat and escape. It can be said that he was once again tricked by the general of the Jieyi Army on the other side. Every move he made did not dare to act in the direction set by the other party.

Yan Mingfeng understood very well that judging from the fact that the main force of the Righteous Army's sailors appeared and spread in front of him, they had been surrounded by the other party here. To the west was the route of their escape to the west, which had now been blocked by the sailors of the Jieyi Army and completely blocked. The same is true for the north side. In other words, they don't even have a way back to their lair now. The east is fine, but the east is within the range of the Jieyi army, where can they go? The sailors of the Jieyi Army could have completely killed them from west to east, like fish and shrimp in a fishing net.

As for the south side, the south side is now a section of the Sailing Army Sailor Division that has not yet decided the winner in the decisive battle with them. Now if you want to go south, will the enemy on the opposite side let them pass? Besides, the strength of the main force of the Sailing Army's naval divisions that gradually dispersed to the west and north was enough to dispel the idea and ability of these water bandits to continue fighting. The sailors of the Jieyi Army have seven large building ships, more than 30 large fighting ships, more than 70 ships, at least 100 auxiliary ships such as boats and clippers, and nearly 10,000 sailors.

And now, the three-way bandits have been fighting for a lot of time with the sailors of the Jieyi Army on the opposite side, and they have lost a lot of warships. In addition, the soldiers were exhausted. The materials hoarded on the ships, such as the boulders used in catapults and the crossbows used in bed crossbows, were all depleted. Even if they want to fight each other to the death, they have to have something to fight.

In addition, after the main force of the Jieyi Army's sailors appeared, one-third of the warships had been damaged, and the rest of the warships were also scarred Jieyi Army's sailors, and at this moment, the morale was greatly boosted, and the cheers had resounded throughout the waters around the battlefield.

"Your Excellency...... How is this good? Could this be the strength of the Jie Yi Army's water division? Even if our strength is doubled now, we are not their opponents. Du Zirong and the other three bandit leaders appeared in Yan Mingfeng's car with a bitter face as if they had died at this moment.

They were not only frightened by the appearance of the main ships of the Naval Division of the Jieyi Army, but also because of their losses in this battle. Although the first division of the Jieyi Army on the opposite side lost one-third, they were not much better. That's right, after they took out all the strength of the old nest, it was indeed stronger than the strength of the water division of the Jieyi Army under Hu Lesuo.

However, they are a three-way convergence, without systematic training, without perfect coordination, and even the three-way warships, not only can not cooperate well, but the information and instructions on each other's warships cannot be accepted by other warships. In addition, the sailors and soldiers on their ships were far less brave and well-trained than the sailors of the Jieyi Army. Therefore, their losses were greater than those of the Jieyi Army sailors on the opposite side.

"We ...... We have been tricked, and the sailors of the Jieyi Army on the opposite side want to fight a decisive battle with us, which is simply their trick, and the purpose of their decisive battle is for this moment. Seeing that the main force of the Jieyi Army's naval division had begun to prepare for battle, and that there was a building ship that was escorted by several fighting ships, moving south from the west and entering the southern Jieyi Army's naval division, Yan Mingfeng said angrily, "We have gathered all our troops and warships here at this moment, and the main force of the Jieyi Army's naval division has blocked our way to flee and retreat westward. We have no way back, and now, we can only ......"

Although Yan Mingfeng didn't say what could only happen, the three of them had gloomy faces, and they all understood what the other party said, they could only fight to the death now. There is no way out, there is no way back, this is their current portrayal.

"My lord, then according to this, hasn't the people and horses we went north all the way have been wiped out by the Zhao army now?" Du Zirong suddenly remembered that there were still half of the men and horses in each of their families still chasing the fleet of the Righteous Army Sailors who had been marching north in the west of Jiaxing County in the past.

Yan Mingfeng nodded and said: "That's right, since the main force of the Jieyi Army's sailors has appeared here, the people and horses who went north will naturally no longer exist." You must know that the people along the way are just our partial divisions, far less than the army that has hidden strength in our lair now. What is the strength of the Sailors of the Jieyi Army, you have also seen it now, do you think they are still alive? Don't forget, the eastern waters have always been the place where the sailors of the Jieyi Army crisscross and crisscross. ”

Du Zirong and the other three felt even more pain in their hearts, and their faces were even more ugly. Although they still hoped that the people could escape along the way, but when Yan Mingfeng said this, there was basically no hope.

"My lord, although they are not as strong as the Sailing Army's sailors, they won't be wiped out by the Jieyi Army's sailors. After all, they didn't fight with the enemy on the opposite side like we did, and when they found out about the enemy, retreat should be the first choice, and even if they couldn't flee all of them, it was still possible to escape some of them......"

Yan Mingfeng interrupted Yu Wen's words and said in a deep voice: "Still hope with them? Don't forget, the people who went north were mixed with our four bandits. But right now, we only have three ways here. The water bandits on Shujia Island have already surrendered to the Qi army. Do you think they will assist the Qi army in its operations? Can our people still escape? If they had escaped, they would not have failed to come back to report the situation. Yan Mingfeng understood that these people were still ready to take advantage of the chaos to escape, and wanted to use some of the water bandits who went north to change places and make a comeback in the future.

"Speaking of which, it is impossible for the main force of the Jieyi Army to dispatch without the slightest movement, and they can arrive today, which means that they have already arrived nearby and are waiting for the action at this moment. But why didn't your patrol sentries find out in advance? ”

Du Zirong said in a sullen voice: "In Taihu Lake, every water bandit has its own range of activities. Our patrol clippers, naturally, do not move within the range of others. In addition, my lord, you asked us not to provoke these bandits, and not to add new enemies, so ......"

Yan Mingfeng was speechless for a moment, at this moment he could completely understand how powerful this water bandit was, and he still couldn't compare with a regular water master. Even if they can outperform each other on the battlefield, but, on the whole, they are too far behind the regular sailors.

"Let the soldiers below prepare, since the main force of the Jieyi Army sailors is dispatched and wants to wipe us out, then we will die, and we must make them look good." After a while, Yan Mingfeng said lightly. At this moment, he had no other way. The main force of the Sailor Division of the Jieyi Army has now begun to form a semi-circle, trapping them. Coupled with the Jieyi Army Sailor Division in the south, they now have no other way out.

When Yan Mingfeng said this, Du Zirong and the others regretted dying in their hearts. They thought that they could take advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger and take advantage of the Qi army, but the current situation is that since they have opposed the Jieyi army, they have suffered losses everywhere and have not received the slightest benefit. At this moment, he is in a desperate situation.

The three of them left Yan Mingfeng's warship and did not leave separately, but gathered on Du Zirong's warship to discuss the situation in front of them. Obviously, they are not willing to fight to the death with the Jieyi army.

"My lord, the three of them, I'm just afraid that they don't want to fight to the death with the sailors of the Jieyi Army, right?" Seeing that after Du Zirong and the three left, they began to converge together, Yan Mingfeng's lieutenant and adjutant from the Qi army said in a deep voice.

Yan Mingfeng said bitterly: "How can I not know this? But what else can be done to resolve the current situation? The Jieyi army has besieged this place to death, so naturally it is necessary to completely annihilate us, or to collect these bandits. I understand what you mean, it is to get rid of these three bandit leaders, and take the other bandit warships to fight to the death or flee from the Jieyi army. But can we get our hands dirty? Do we have what it takes to get rid of them? All around this warship are their people, if it was in the past, we would naturally be superior by virtue of our identity as the envoy of the Qi army. But now, such an identity has no effect and no effect. ”

"Putting these aside, even if we can get rid of them, I'm afraid that when these three people come, there will be a secret order. I'm afraid that if we do it, we will be killed by these bandits first. Even if we ignore all this, we can get rid of them, and we can command the whole army, but I am afraid that before we can give any military orders, after they learn of the death of these bandits, they will also fall apart, and the rout will be faster. ”

"So, we have failed in this operation, and it is up to them to decide how they choose. Even if they surrendered, they were no longer the leaders of the bandits they used to be. Knowing this, we should have put them in order, or we should have taken them out of here and gone to the western waters, where they would have joined up with other roads and reorganized in a unified manner. At the end, Yan Mingfeng couldn't help but sigh.

Yan Mingfeng had already reported the situation here and his own opinion to his main general Shen Tuxiong, if Shen Tuxiong could change the measures, then it was possible for the Qi Army Sailor to fight with the Jieyi Army Sailor in Taihu Lake, if it remained the same, the result would ......

"Now the situation is clear, what do you two think?" After Du Zirong and the three of them gathered together, Du Zirong took the lead in asking.

"What do you think? What else can we see now? It depends on how the Jieyi army on the opposite side chooses? If they attack directly, then I can buy it......" Yu Wen said in a sullen voice, "The main force of the Sailing Army has already sent a building ship to the south to meet the main general of the Jieyi Army in the south, and they are discussing how to solve us at the moment." ”

"It's a good thing that Shulin is lucky, although the Jieyi Army was the first to break the nest, but they were merged into the Jieyi Army's water division. Although they have lost their original status and power, they will definitely get more among the righteous army. It is said that Schulin and several of his sons and nephews, who had previously appeared on various ships, seemed to be called Captain He. Suddenly, Fang Dahai sighed.

Du Zirong said in a deep voice: "So, what does Brother Fang mean is that he is ready to surrender to the Righteous Army?" ”

Fang Dahai smiled bitterly: "If they surrender, I am willing to surrender." My Swallow Island was broken once by the Jieyi Army, and the property on it has fallen into the hands of the Jieyi Army. Suffice it to say, we already deserve to keep it for ourselves. In addition, the thousands of family members, the elderly, the weak, women and children on Swallow Island all need to be settled. But without money, how can they solve it, and it still makes my head heavy. And what about the Surrender Day rebels? And what about the bandit leader? When the main force of the Jieyi Army's sailors appeared here, in the middle waters of Taihu Lake, I was afraid that there would be no room for water bandits to survive. ”

"However, what I'm worried about is that I chased the commander of the Southern Jieyi Army before, who knows how they saw me? What if they don't want to surrender? What if they want to stand with us? To be honest, I don't care about the rest now, I hope that after this battle, the Jieyi Army will not attack the old and weak women and children on Swallow Island. However, judging from the last time they attacked Swallow Island, they would not kill innocents indiscriminately. ”

"The Qi army is the overlord of Yangzhou, but their actions in the waters of Taihu Lake are full of Jieyi Army, and now this way of recruiting an army but not managing it makes the Qi army sailor far inferior to the Jieyi army's sailor. Two brothers, we've been fighting in this body of water for years, and we don't know how many people we've gotten rid of trying to hit our attention. But this time, we made the wrong decision. Fang Dahai sighed bitterly.

Hearing Fang Dahai's sigh, Du Zirong and Yu Wen also looked at each other, they didn't know what to say, they didn't expect that Fang Dahai, who was still angry and wanted to find the righteous army to avenge the destruction of the island and seize the wealth, would now directly hold the idea of surrendering, which simply made them unable to react for a while.

Although the two of them had their own ideas in their hearts, Du Zirong and Yu Wen also felt that what Fang Dahai said. However, as for how to deal with the next actions of the Jieyi Army, they also have their own thoughts.
