That night, warships collided and lit each other on the Huaishui River, and hundreds of warships were burning.

With the help of the west wind and the water flow, the fired ships upstream were almost approaching the ships of the Jianghuai Navy. The latter's warship fleet, due to temporary blockage, did not escape in time, and fell into this fire attack.

"It's over, it's over, my Jianghuai Navy was almost destroyed." Some Jianghuai generals exclaimed and even wailed, causing heavy losses.

When the ship caught fire, most of the soldiers jumped into the Huai River, drowned and shot by arrows, countless of them.

Before Wu Pei's ship caught fire, he had already fled on a raft first, so he had not been surrounded, but after the army was destroyed, they were no longer able to return to help.

I quickly returned to the riverbank camp and mobilized the army's defense. However, when the remaining boats approached the riverbank camp, they were now in a fight and were attacked.

The ship was also ignited, and the elite Dahua soldiers rushed into the water camp, extremely fierce.

At this moment, Wu Pei knew that the situation was hopeless, so he did not escape, but instead led his men to the camp, trying to survive and die with the position.

In the end, the result was destined, and Wu Pei died in a melee, which was considered relief.

The next morning, it was dawn, and the river surface was covered with broken hulls and black wooden boards, as well as countless corpses, floating on the water surface, and the river water was dyed red.

The Dahua army destroyed the Jianghuai Navy overnight, and only injured three or four thousand people, which was a great victory.

After learning about the big camp on the north bank, many new troops were completely impressed by His Majesty's use of troops.

In the past, I only heard that Your Majesty fought south and north, and was invincible, and he decided to the world on his back. Most of the rumors were that he followed Your Majesty to march south in person. In the first battle, he successfully attacked Shanyangcang and cut off the food and supplies of the Jianghuai Army in Jiangdu County. In the second battle, he destroyed the Jianghuai Navy so beautifully. He admired him very much.

The navy brought by Zhou Faming was responsible for starting to clear the river and salvage the dead bodies.

The regular 6th Army of the North began to cross the river through the floating bridge in order, saving time more than ferries.

Originally, Zhou Faming and other southern generals were still absent, and the ships were burned down. How to cross the river, whether it is necessary to rebuild ships, or go to nearby prefectures and counties to buy fishing boats. However, Luo Zhaoyun has ordered to start making pontoon bridges, iron cable suspension bridges, and the army crosses the river through pontoon bridges, iron cable bridges, and no ships are needed at all.

The army entered Jiangdu County from Pengcheng, with a total of 80,000 troops, leaving 30,000 troops on the river bank to guard the food and grass in case the food and grass in the rear were transported smoothly.

"Your Majesty, remember, will we go to attack Qingliu City?"

Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a moment and said, "The city is besieged and attacked. Qingliu City is a heavy city north of Jiangdu County. The city is high and thick, and it is not easy to conquer. Instead of being there, scattering troops, and delaying opportunities for combat, such as catching the rear route of the Jiangdong League Army. Zhang Zhenzhou's veteran general, you will take 20,000 troops to confront Qingliu City, neither attacking the city nor fighting, and surrounding but not fighting. Be prepared to ambush reinforcements, restrain the troops of Qingliu City, and cut off the grain route between Qingliu City and Dingyuan City. In this way, the Jiangdong League Army in the area of ​​Dingyuan City in Zhongli County will soon have insufficient food and grass supply, which will be conducive to our army's encirclement and suppression of the Allies."

"Your Majesty is wise, I will accept the order!" Zhang Zhenzhou held his fists and accepted the order.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and then led the troops of each 10,000 team, with different generals and followers to start crossing the river and landing on the shore.

Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin, Bing Yuanzhen and others were all generals of the Tiger Ben, each leading 10,000 troops. After crossing the river, they quickly rushed to the designated location, stationed and guarded.

After all the 80,000 troops crossed the river, they began to advance in Zhongli County and wanted to surround the retreat of the Jianghuai Allied Army.

When the garrison in Qingliu City, Ximen Junyi and his wife, learned that the Jianghuai naval army was completely destroyed, they were very shocked and planned to go north to rescue, but when they learned that a group of people attacked Qingliu City, they forced Ximen Junyi to give up the idea of ​​going north. The most urgent task was to defend this city and protect the food and grass in the city. This was a major city north of Jiangdu County. Once it was lost, it would become a springboard and stronghold for the Dahua army after crossing the river.

However, after Zhang Zhenzhou led his troops to come, he bluffed and siege the city but did not attack. He wanted to make a good fight, digging trenches and guard areas, so that people in the city would not attack easily.

Because of this practice, it is to dig high trenches and surround the city, and pour water and barbs inside, making it inconvenient for the troops in the city to travel, let alone take the initiative to attack.

"It's strange, why didn't this army attack the city and dig trenches, as if they didn't plan to let us out." Ximen Junyi stood at the top of the city wearing armor, looking at the enemy formation outside the city, surprised and puzzled.

Wang Shulan explained: "It seems that they do not intend to really attack the city and trap us to death!"

Ximen Junyi sneered: "The city has abundant food and grass, and it will not be a problem to stick to it for a year. Can the Hua** team outside the city be patient and hold on here for a year?"

Wang Shulan reminded: "Husband, don't forget that the city has abundant food and grass, and half of it is to be transported to the front line for the Allied forces, which is equivalent to cutting off the supply from the front line."

Ximen Junyi was stunned for a moment, slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot about this. I must send someone to break out and pass the news to General Manager Du, and ask him to send troops to help, cooperate inside and outside, annihilate the troops outside the city, and then transport the excess food and grass to the front line."

Wang Shulan shook her head and sighed: "I'm afraid that the enemy will be prepared to siege the city and attack reinforcements. Then, the reinforcements coming will be their prey."

"When did this northerner have so many tricks? He attacked Shanyangcang, attacked the Jianghuai Navy in a fire, surrounded Qingliu City, and made every step so ruthless, which made our Jianghuai Army tighten step by step!" Ximen Junyi made up these recent things and suddenly felt cold behind her.

Before they knew it, they had lost the initiative and advantages and were clenched by Dahua's invisible hands.

The difference between the Northern Court and the Jiangnan Allied Forces is that the former is a state institution and operates closely; the latter is a mob with a lack of strategic vision and layout.

Wang Shulan looked to the north, with a worried expression on his face, and said with emotion: "Luo Zhaoyun has personally led the army to fight. This time, he has become famous. This time, he personally fought against Jianghuai. He was linked together with one move. It's really not easy. Our Jiangdong Alliance... is afraid it's difficult to compete with him!"

"As long as General Du does not order to surrender and surrender to China, we as generals must execute military orders and fight to the death to the end. No matter who he is or what his background, I, Ximen Junyi, will never be afraid of me, and will never retreat!" Ximen Junyi's face darkened, encouraged himself, and at the same time expressed his determination to fight to the end.
