Hu Tuzhou, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province in later generations, was only a huge sandbar at this time, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. After Li Jing sent a fleet south to occupy the island, it was renamed Jianghai Town, and at most there were 30,000 horses from the six armies of Ma Bushui.

The island is full of bean seedlings, so it is called Hu Tuzhou. In the west of the island, there are five steep and beautiful peaks with an altitude of more than 100 meters, in which Wolf Mountain dwells, and the four mountains of Ma'an Mountain, Huangni Mountain, Jian Mountain and Junshan are surrounded by them like stars and moons.

Wolf Mountain is known as the first mountain of the river and sea, and Hu Tuozhou is also known as the gateway of the river and the sea.

A few years ago, the Wang Ying Rebellion that swept the southeast, Wang Ying was originally the town of Zhejiang West of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the Wolf Mountain Town Containment Envoy set up on Hu Tuzhou under the Zhenhai Jiedu envoy. Because of his meritorious service, he was not rewarded, and Wang Ying led dozens of his subordinates to rise up, and as a result, he swept more than ten states in eastern and western Zhejiang, but died in the hands of Li Jing's sailor fleet sent south that year.

This Hu Kuozhou was deserted for a period of time, and when Li Jing and Gao Biao clashed later, Li Jing sent a large army south, and 30,000 horses and water were stationed on the island.

The island is a plain of rivers and seas, and the five peaks are unique.

There are Dengzhou heavy troops stationed here, and it has also become the base of the Lingbo Army of the Fourth Army of the Naval Division, and at the same time, it has also become Dengzhou Liaonan to the south. Guangzhou, Jiaozhou, Quanzhou and other places to the northbound transfer station.

The sea caravan from Dengzhou headed south. Most of them pause here. From there, some goods are transferred to river ships on the Yangtze River, enter the Yangtze River, and be transported to Yangzhou, Runzhou, Jiangning, Yuzhang, Jiangzhou, Liyang, Dangtu, Xiangyang, Wuhan, Jiangling and other inland areas, while others continue south to Hangzhou Bay and even farther to Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Annan Jiaozhou and other places.

With the protection of Li Jing's sailors, this trade transit station on Hu Tuzhou became more and more prosperous in a short period of time. Hundreds of merchant ships arrive and depart every day.

There are special military wharves and commercial wharves on the island, and there are a large number of warehouses and restaurants, etc., and even on the original sandy land, many people began to dry salt in the military camps on the island.

The northwest of Jianghai Town, across the not wide river, is Hai'an County in Yangzhou.

In the morning mist, along the coast of the sea, a group of soldiers and horses arrived silently, with 20,000 horses, behind this army. And more people followed.

Liang Zhang stood on the hill by the sea, frowning as the people carried the fishing boats to the sea. Many of these boats have only a small sail. Most of them are small boats that need to be rowed by hand. There are also some larger boats, pulled in the back by horse-drawn carriages, these larger boats are Bianchuan, which are pulled up from the canal in Yangzhou. For the sake of the suddenness and concealment of this attack on Hu Tuzhou, these ships did not go down the sea from Yangzhou, but pulled them over from the land with several times more effort.

According to reliable information, 20,000 of the 30,000 Qin troops on Hu Tuzhou have been transferred, and now there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses left on the island. Among them, there were 5,000 naval troops, and the remaining army was a newly reassigned Laizhou township army. According to the news sent back by the secret agents on the island, only one of the four detachments of the whole army was there, and the other three detachments went to the Huai River. The other thousands of soldiers were actually township troops transferred from Qingzhou, and they were temporarily under the command of this Lingbo Army and this fleet, which could be regarded as marines.

There were only 10,000 men, and 9,000 of them were newcomers, and the detachment of 1,000 men consisted of only a hundred ships, of which only two building ships, four fighting ships, plus eight sea falcons and eight ships, and the rest were small boats like yachts and boats.

For more than a year, Li Jing has planted such a nail in this river and sea, which can be said to have made the Huainan army very faceless, not only losing face, but also such a force stationed here, which makes the Huainan army like a man's back, and it is difficult to sleep and eat.

Today, it's finally time for them to make a move.

The three generals Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan, and Li Hanzhi all took the initiative to request to be forwards, and all three of them were demoted generals. Bi Shiduo is Wang Xianzhi's old general, and then he descended to the Yellow Nest and then to the high nest. Qin Yan is also an old general of Huangchao, and Li Hanzhi is the old general of Zhuge Shuang, a subordinate of Li Zhuo of Heyang Jiedu, but later he demoted Huangchao, and was defeated by Zhang Lan after the most defeat, and then demoted Gao Yu.

During this period of time, Huangchao has flourished in Henan, and even occupied Luoyang to ascend the throne and become emperor, which makes the Huainan army very vigilant against the generals who surrendered when Huangchao was defeated.

The three of Bi Shiduo were sent as Gao Jie's lieutenants this time, and they all fought bravely to be the first to fight, in fact, they just wanted to prove their loyalty.

Liang turned in the direction of Hu Tuzhou, where the sea was quiet and a flock of seabirds flew over the sea, and if the patrol boats of the fleet on the island stopped showing up before dawn, their plan would be half the battle.

In Liang Zhang's opinion, no matter how strong the Ling Bo army is, there is only a detachment of 1,000 people here, as long as he can cross Haiden Island, with the 20,000 soldiers and 30,000 auxiliaries he brought, he does not believe that he will not be able to defeat the 10,000 villagers on the island. He is very clear about the division of Li Jing's subordinates, the strongest is the soldiers, the elite of the elite. Underneath the soldiers were the Solidarity and the Townsmen, who were actually the weakest soldiers, almost like their auxiliaries.

Li Hanzhi and Bi Shiduo, who were standing behind him, had a calm face, they were all eating with their heads up, and they had more than one master. However, these two are not ordinary thieves. Bi Shiduo was originally one of the ten voters under Wang Xianzhi, after Wang Xianzhi's death, he followed Shang Junchang to fight, and later Shang Junchang died, and he was forced to follow Huang Chao. But he didn't have a good opinion of Huang Chao, and he didn't pay attention to it in the Huang Chao army. At present, although Huang Chao is beautiful again, he has become the emperor, and Shang Rang has become the prime minister, even when he was one of the top ten voters and a general of the first army, Zhu Wen, Ge Congzhou and others who had just joined the army became national princes and generals, but he never thought of returning to Huang Chao's subordinates. He has always considered himself a confidant of Wang Dutong. It's not the same person as Huang Chao.

Li Hanzhi held a ring knife with his bare head. But there was some worry in my heart. When he was still in the Heyang Army. It was used to beat Li Ke side by side with Li Jing. Li Jing's army may not be the strongest, but their equipment is definitely the best, don't hear that the soldiers on the island are all village soldiers, and there are not many of them, but these soldiers are not bad in Li Jing's army, but it does not mean that they are equivalent to the auxiliary soldiers in their army.

The auxiliaries in the Huainan Army, that is a real group of people. And Li Jing's township soldiers will never be a group of people.

It's just that at this time, he will never say these words to Gao Jie in public, so as to cause him to be unhappy.

Switching to the world, Li Hanzhi, who has changed so many bosses, knows very well that whether he can win the battle is secondary, and the key lies in whether he can make the boss feel that you are of the same mind as him, which is the safest way.

However, this time, Gao Dashuai made a move, on the one hand, he sent his first general, Liang Zhang, to rob Haozhou and Xuzhou, and on the other hand, he sent them to seize Hu Douzhou with the same force. It can be seen that in the eyes of the tall and handsome, this Hu Douzhou is really a thorn in the side.

Fifty thousand against ten thousand. Even if Li Jing's township soldiers are really unusual, it is estimated that they can still win.

Liang Zhang and Zhang Lu were called Gao Piao's subordinates, but now Zhang Luan died early, Liang Zhang thought that the task of attacking Haozhou would be handed over to him, who would have thought, but Gao Piao gave this task to Gao Jie, the forty-fifth Lang, and sent him to fight this island. Although he also got a history of Chuzhou Thorn, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In his opinion, Hu Tuzhou was still an opponent with 30,000 soldiers, but now he only has 10,000 villagers, which is really a bit of a feeling of killing chickens with a knife.

"Tell the order to go down, do it!" Liang Zhang said in a deep voice with a dark face, thinking about a quick solution, if he solved this place earlier, maybe he could still send troops north and get a piece of fat to eat.

On Wolf Mountain, Wu Qian, the commander of the Lingbo Army, led the first fleet to stay in Huluzhou, but it was not yet dawn, but it had been woken up by the soldiers on duty.

"General, the patrol boats in the northwest have discovered the enemy's situation, and a large number of ships have appeared in the sea in the direction of Hai'an on the opposite side, and hundreds of boats are heading towards the island in the wind."

Wu Qian suddenly woke up from sleepiness when he heard the news, and now the island was empty, and at this time, a large number of ships came, almost certainly the Huainan army in Yangzhou.

"Immediately sound the alarm, assemble the team, and prepare for defense!"

After speaking, he called another guard, "Immediately go and invite Lin Mianzhi and Deng Ziming, two generals, to come over." ”

Lin Yizi's name is Lin Song, and Deng Ziming's name is Deng Huan, and he is the commander of the other two armies of the township soldiers outside the first detachment on the island. Although these two people are the lords of the township army, they are not ordinary township army generals. In fact, these two people are some peculiar generals, that Lin Song is Chinese New Year's Eve today, but he has not yet married, and he can't look down on all kinds of women introduced to him, but he has a special color. Originally, he was a box owner of the Shengjie Army, but because he was too sexy, he couldn't care about the thing in his crotch, and as a result, he repeatedly violated military regulations. As a result, that officer was not an ordinary person, it was Officer Lu Long who belonged to the Qin army, and as a result, this matter made a big fuss, and Li Jing drove him out of the Jinjia Shengjie army after the most recklessness, and rushed to any army master in the Qingzhou Township Army. This was not enough, and finally rushed to Hu Tuzhou. Although it is said that he has changed from the owner of the box to the military master, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Praetorian Guards like the Shengjie Army have rushed to the township soldiers, and they have also been stationed as far away as Huzhuzhou, which is a very severe punishment.

And Deng Ziming is not a fuel-efficient lamp, his family has lived in Guangzhou for generations, the son of a scholarly family, and later heard that the Huangchao Rebellion army was marching towards Guangzhou, and followed the whole family to escape into Dengzhou by sea and settled in Dengzhou. He has a great curiosity about new things and likes to get to the bottom of things. Later, he joined the Ordnance Division, and the latest thunderbolts and earth-shattering thunderbolts in the army were actually made up by him. However, this guy was too curious about new things, and as a result, he was bent on developing more violent firearms, and as a result, he presided over the construction of an 8,000-pound brass cannon, who knew that the first test cannon made a bomb, and also detonated the shell, which caused a very tragic accident and killed more than 100 people on the spot.

The project was stopped by Li Jing after the most difficult time, and in order to let him stop for a while, Li Jing arranged for him to go to the lecture hall for further study. This time, the Qin army was tight, so a large number of officers were transferred from Jiangwutang to enrich the township army, and as a result, Deng Ziming's military rank was not low, so he became the deputy commander of a township army, and he was transferred to Hu Zhuozhou at the end.

However, Wu Qian, as the first veteran who fought with Li Jing at the beginning, and then was defeated and surrendered, has been followed until today, and after contact during this time, he has found that these two guys are actually not strangers to fighting in addition to their superficial shortcomings or specialties.

"It's Gao Xiao's soldiers of the Huainan Army, at least more than 30,000 people." On the lighthouse on the northwest shore, Lin Song held a clairvoyant mirror and quickly saw the dense sails.

Lin Song was not afraid, although his subordinates were no longer the elite of the Shengjie Army, but those township soldiers were not bad. However, there was still some worry in his heart, and Gao Yu's sudden attack could only show that this old guy was completely planning to tear his face. Hu Tuzhou's biggest weakness is that he is far away from the base camp, and it is difficult to have reinforcements for a while. And here, it is Gao Yu's territory, and he can bring in more soldiers and horses at any time.

Wu Qian looked at the second general and said, "The enemy is outnumbered, should we temporarily retreat, retreat to the south, and retreat to the territory of the town navy?" Zhou Bao and Gao Biao are at odds, and they may be able to use his territory to avoid it. ”

Deng Ziming smiled, "Jianghai Town is a big island, we have an advantage in fighting at sea, even if there is only one detachment, presumably Lord Wu will not be afraid, right?" ”

Wu Qian saw that the two of them were not only not surprised, but looked at them very excitedly, and couldn't help but chuckle, neither of them was afraid, could it be that he, the elder of the Qin army, would be afraid? Since they don't want to go, let's fight it.

The soldiers are coming, and the water is flooding!

"You guys prepare first, I'll go get some good things and let the rabbit cubs in Huainan see and understand!" Deng Ziming smiled, licked his lips with his tongue, turned around and ran back to the barracks.

Wu Qian and Lin Song trembled in the wind at the same time, and the look in Deng Huan's eyes when he left had already made them vaguely guess that the good things he was going to get must be those rumbling things. This guy, on this island, didn't bother with this experiment.

Wu Qian couldn't help but be proud for a while, even the two juniors dared to fight so much, what would he not dare to be a veteran of the navy. At that moment, he clenched his fists, turned his head to Lin Song and said, "Brother Mianzi is deployed on the shore, escort me into battle, and the old man will take the first fleet to meet the Huainan Army at sea." ”

With an order, the sailors of the First Fleet had quickly boarded the battleships one by one, and Wu Qian boarded his flagship, a huge five-story ship, the Jianghai.

Wu Qian stood on the fifth-deck of the Jianghai in high spirits, surrounded by nearly 100 ships of all sizes, including another building ship, four fighting ships, eight warships, and eight ironclad sea falcons, in addition to more than 1,000 officers and men of the First Fleet, the ships also carried Deng Ziming and his military horses.
