The mouth of Hukou is the mouth of Pengli, the key to the rivers and lakes, and the thoroughfare of the three rivers.
Whoever occupies this place is equivalent to controlling Peng Lize's throat. The Gan River flowing into Penglize extends to all seven counties in Jiangzhou. It can be said that whoever has Hukou gets Jiangzhou.
On July 17, at dawn, a fleet of boats set off from Pengli Zeli to Hukou.
This fleet has five large ships and more than 20 small ships, all of which are decorated with flags with the word "Chu". The leading general is named Lintai, who claims to be the cousin of Chu Emperor Lin Shihong. Yesterday, he sent a message in advance to Liang Jun stationed in Hukou, requesting surrender.
The commander of Liang Jun¡¯s navy was Yan Wang Xu Xuanche, an old man from the Baling faction.
It is known to everyone that Xiao Mian used Zhang Xiu to suppress Dong Jingzhen. Dong Jingzhen was not a harmless novice. Although she was unable to resist Zhang Xiu's consecutive victories, she continued to add sand to the army. After Xu Xuanche surrendered to Xiao Mian, he was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, specializing in the navy. Even though Zhang Xiu was now the leader of the three armies, the navy was still completely under Xu Xuanche's hands and he had no way to intervene.
During this eastward march, Dong Jingzhen deliberately recommended Xu Xuanche as deputy commander. Xiao Mian and Zhang Xiu knew that without the navy, they would not be able to complete the important task of blocking the lake entrance, so they had no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it.
Since Xu Xuanche occupied Hukou, he led 20,000 naval troops to establish a water camp alone. He did not care about Zhang Xiu's affairs. They were like an army, independent and uncomfortable.
This time 75 zw.com Zhang Si. Zhang Xiuqian watched, but was helpless.
Yesterday, people from Lin Chu came to ask for surrender, saying that they were "Chu's navy. After Peng Lize was defeated in the battle with Sui's army, the remnants fled into the lake to take shelter. Now that the water and food are exhausted, they are willing to surrender to Daliang and follow the example of dogs and horses." labor."
To show his sincerity, this person also gave him his seal and ribbon to prove his identity.
Xu Xuanche was overjoyed when he heard this.
Liang Jun¡¯s navy is the most powerful on the Yangtze River. Because there are no strong naval enemies in the surrounding area, it has been suppressed by Xiao Xian. It has no resources and space for development, and even insufficient ship supplies.
Today, dozens of warships and more than a thousand people of the Chu Navy have surrendered, which will definitely greatly enhance the strength of the Chu Navy.
As for the sincerity of the other party, Xu Xuanche has no doubts.
The other side has come up with so many tokens, which one must be carried personally by the commander of the navy and dare not lose them. If it were not the commander of the Chu army, who could have such a complete set of tokens.
"Besides, Lin Chu has reached the end of his rope, and surrender has become inevitable.
It¡¯s just that Xu Xuanche didn¡¯t know that the Sui army defeated the Chu army several times and surrendered tens of thousands of the Chu army¡¯s main force, including Wang Rong. Not to mention the seals and ribbons of the navy chief, several of Lin Shihong¡¯s talisman seals were also captured.
This Lintai is Lintai, and he is indeed the naval general of the Chu army. He surrendered to the Sui Dynasty as early as the Battle of Jiangbei.
This time Chen Kedi led the navy to go north. Since the Liang army controlled the outlet of the river and occupied a favorable location, the Sui army's navy was unable to fight head-on, so they thought of Huang Gai's fake surrender during the Three Kingdoms period.
The navy heading north docked at Wangjiazui. Chen Kedi ordered Cheng Mingzhen to lead his troops to land from here and head north, surrounded Hukou from the side, and sent Lin Tai to pretend to surrender to Liang Jun.
The plan went surprisingly smoothly.
Just as northerners feel that southerners are not good at horses, southerners also feel that northerners are not good at boats. Therefore, from the beginning, Xu Xuanche did not take the Sui army's navy seriously.
"When the Northerners get into the water, I'm afraid they will sink directly to the bottom!"
Lin Taixuan led his troops to surrender early in the morning. At this time, Liang Jun's ships were all moored quietly in Shuiying.
The narrowest part of the lake mouth is only two miles, and Liang Jun's water camp is located here, so the naval vessels do not need to be stationed on the water day and night.
Many generals simply abandoned their warships and spent the night ashore for the sake of comfort.
Lintai's ship headed north, deceiving several Chu army patrol ships along the way, and soon arrived outside the water camp.
No one expected to be attacked at their doorstep, so everyone slept peacefully.
Seeing Liang Jun's water camp in sight, it was less than two miles away.
Lintai no longer hid at this time, and directly asked people to pull up the tarpaulins covering each ship, revealing a large amount of saltpeter, sulfur, firewood, and kerosene underneath. Lintai ordered people to set fire to the boat, leaving only a few helmsmen, while the rest jumped into the boat and fled for their lives.
When an open flame encounters something igniting a fire on the ship, it ignites immediately.
Soon the fire burst into the sky, burning the sky red.
At this time, the south wind picked up again, and the ignited ship was like a fire dragon, heading straight for Liang Jun's water camp. At this time, only the fire took advantage of the wind, the wind assisted the fire, the ship was like an arrow, and the smoke and flames rose into the sky.
The entire Liang Jun fire camp was immediately set alight by fire ships.
The mouth of the lake is narrow, and ships that discover the situation cannot escape even if they want to.?We can only huddle in the camp and wait for the fire to burn. In the water camp, hundreds of warships were all set on fire. I saw fire flying in the wind on the river, the wind roaring and the fire roaring, and the sky was red, filling the sky and the earth.
At that time, Xu Xuanche was not in the water camp, but stayed on the shore where it was more comfortable.
At this time, seeing the fire in the water camp, he hurried to the shore and saw that the sky-high fire was about to sweep everything away.
Xu Xuanche felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
At this time, he didn¡¯t know where the enemy was. Although Xu Xuanche felt distressed, he had no choice but to order the three armies to retreat and evacuate all the troops to the shore. As for the ships, he couldn¡¯t care about them.
At this moment, the thunderous and thumping sound of drums was heard.
Xu Xuanche was wondering where the drum sound came from when he suddenly heard shouts of killing behind him. He was so frightened that he turned around quickly and saw the "magenta"-colored flag.
It turned out that it was Cheng Mingzhen who led his army to kill.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of Lin Shihong in the Lotus Pond, and killed the famous Lin Chu general Li Qiang, which made Cheng Minzhen famous, and also allowed him to gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan Xingtai.
¡°But all this is not enough in Cheng Mingzhen¡¯s opinion.
This time Cheng Mingzhen was ordered to take Hukou and lead the army alone. He took it as a good opportunity to surpass Su Lie.
Since landing at Wangjiazui, Cheng Mingzhen led his troops to rush all the way to a distance of seventy miles. Fortunately, Jiangxi was sparsely populated at this time, so there were no pedestrians along the way, and everyone was moving forward unobstructed without being noticed.
At night, Cheng Mingzhen finally rushed to the south of Hukou.
At this time, Hukou had not yet built a city. Although it was an important location, it was only a military dock and water camp.
Cheng Mingzhen led his troops to lie dormant in the middle of the night. When he saw the fire, he knew that the navy had succeeded in the sneak attack, and immediately led his troops to attack.
The Liang navy was already in chaos and was unable to stop the Sui army, which was like a tiger descending from the mountain.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 强牺 bxwx.co 读牺。 Cheng Mingzhen was also lucky, everyone fought all the way and rushed to the vicinity of Xu Xuanche's command center.
Although Cheng Mingzhen didn¡¯t know Xu Xuanche, he also recognized the other party¡¯s shining Mingguang armor and that arrogant crown. It is also a strange thing for a general to wear a crown without wearing a crown.
Control the big one and control the owl. When Cheng Minzhen saw this, he held a sharp knife and shouted loudly: "Xu Xuanche, where can you escape?"
Xu Xuanche was shocked when he heard this. Before he could react, he suddenly saw a flash of white light, and then his head and shoulders were split into two pieces.
Cheng Mingzhen stepped forward and chopped off Xu Xuanche's head, shouting: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Liang Jun was in chaos and completely collapsed.
In this battle, Liang Jun¡¯s main naval force was completely wiped out in Hukou
