The angry King Li Jingsui no longer quarreled with these ministers and directly made five military suggestions to Emperor Li Jing:

First, we will urgently raise grain and quickly mobilize it to the front lines of Shouzhou, Changzhou, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, especially Shouzhou, the faster the better.

The second is to appoint Li Jingda as the east recruitment envoy, commanding the four armies of Jiangyin, Jinghai, Zhenhai and Ningguo to respond to the attack on the northern front of Wu and Yue.

The third is to appoint Chen Hui as the southern recruitment envoy, temporarily leading the approaching Yusheng and Zhaowu armies to fully respond to the attack on the Wu-Jiangnan line and the attack from the Southern Han.

Fourth, he urgently ordered the Jiedushi of Jingjiangxing of Chu to launch an attack, pressing Nanhan from the western front and alleviating the pressure on the eastern front.

Fifth, urgently mobilized Anhua, the hinterland of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the elite troops of the two armies in Zhennan were near Jinling to establish a defense line in the south of the Yangtze River, ready to cross the river to support it at any time.

Li Jing was also upset with the endless disputes of these ministers. In addition to urgently appointing veteran generals Zhu Ye and Sun Hanwei to Changzhou and Fuzhou served as military supervisors in both places, the above five suggestions were agreed and a decree was issued quickly.

On the evening of September 26, more than ten teams of envoys escorted by the imperial guards rode out of Jinling and began to pass imperial edicts to the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which also added a hint of tension to the already terrified Jinling City.

At the 27th September, the second attack on the river of the Later Zhou army entered the implementation stage. Commander Li Gu seemed to be really fierce. He combined the size of the existing ships and divided them into six attack fleets; each fleet was led by a general, and at the same time commanded 20,000 infantrymen, preparing to cross the river along the floating bridge to attack.

Lin Feng, who was responsible for commanding the defense of Zhengyang Ferry, also spread troops across the river. He dispatched troops to the locations of the four floating bridges here. Shouzhou Army and Tanzhou Army served as the main defense force. The troops in the regiment trained the countryside were evenly distributed to various teams for practical practice. The masters and special soldiers who came to assist the aid were mixed with formations as soldiers to escort the formation.

Previously, based on repeated observations, the Zhou army at Shouzhou Wharf was far less than Zhengyang Ferry, and Lin Feng specially assigned General Ge Chang to lead the defense mission of the two floating bridges at Shouzhou Wharf.

At the time of Si, the soldiers of Houzhou who had finished their meals began to gather on the Huai River embankment. The north side of the embankment was gathered, with four attacking fleets in front and small boats behind. All of them slowly started and formation adjustment began.

Lin Feng, who was standing directly above the water camp, saw the enemy's movements in the telescope, and immediately ordered the four military personnel and the water camp guards to prepare.

Before crossing the river center line, the two fleets on the west and east sides suddenly turned outward and drew an arc. The two fleets in the middle did not change and headed straight towards the left and right ends of the water village.

Lin Feng observed the rear of the enemy ships carefully and found that they all used a huge double-chariot warship as a towing ship, slowly driving the long floating bridge ships on the shore. The ships were connected together with iron chains and ropes, and were covered with wooden boards, which looked like a road mounted on the hull.

Lin Feng snorted coldly and handed the telescope to Suo Chao and Chen Lifei next to him.

Amid the nervous heartbeat of the soldiers on both sides, the two fleets of Houzhou headed the ships rushed across the center line, adjusted the sails, and began to accelerate. The rapid drum sounded like thunder. As soon as the drum sound stopped, all the soldiers of Houzhou shouted "kill", and the sound waves rushed towards the south bank like invisible huge waves.

Lin Feng, who had a sneer, looked at the enemy's head ship that had crossed the floating object on the river that marked the range of the catapult, and immediately ordered a special soldier to raise the red dragon flag that signaled the catapult to exert force and shook it three times in a row.

The creaking sound came again, and the stones and mud began to rise and went straight to the river. However, the Zhou army learned from the failed experience of the last crossing the river attack and carefully observed the landing point and range of the catapult. The attack direction chosen this time was also the edge of the catapult's range, and the fleet was not subject to substantial damage or obstruction.

As soon as the rush entered the range, the big ship in front of him slowed down and distanced each other. Large shields began to rise at the bow of the ship.

Another rapid drum sounded, and small warships with dense shield arrays at the front rushed over from the middle of the big ship. The slurry on both sides quickly rowed and rushed towards the water village.

"Everyone has it, five consecutive shots." Suo Chao's loud voice sounded again. All the defensive soldiers on the third floor of the water village and the two Shouzhou troops on the river embankments on both sides all began to shoot arrows, trying their best to block the attack of the boat.

After a while, the boats were covered with arrows, like hedgehogs swimming in the water, but the arrows could not penetrate the thick shields on the bow. They could only watch the boats slowly slide to the point of the iron piles blocking the river. Some boats were blocked by iron rods, while others were sandwiched in the gap between the two iron rods.

At this time, Zhou Jun shouted loudly on the boat behind him, and the soldiers hiding in the cabin accelerated their paddles and rushed forward with force, colliding the stopped boats forward.

One, two, three... More and more small boats were pushed past the iron stick piles and drifted forward. The closest one was only more than ten meters away from the Water Village.

Seeing this, Lin Feng roared: "Thunder, one ship, two."

A row of special forces behind him shouted in unison, ignited the thunder in his hands, and threw it at the boat.

The sky-shaking thunder of Mars sailed over a short distance and landed accurately on the boat. The connection and explosion sounded, five or six small boats were blown away in a row. The Zhou army soldiers behind the shield were blown over on the boat, but the boat was still pushed by the ship behind and continued to rush towards the wooden stakes in front of the water village.

The power of the thunder in the sky was still not enough. Lin Feng sighed inwardly and waved his hand to stop the thunder in the sky.

At this time, the two large warships in the middle of the rear circumference attack fleet all rushed to the Iron Barn River piles and slowly adjusted their positions. The ship was connected to the head and tail, forming four north-south waterway channels, which tightly enclosed on both sides of the attacking boat.

"Replace all the rockets." Lin Feng ordered urgently.

Rockets flew towards the big ship, but the sails that had been on the spot at one time were not very good today. Lin Feng shook his head slightly when he saw this scene, thinking that the other party must have watered the sail last night.

At this time, many small boats had already arrived in front of the river-blocking wooden stakes and began to crowd together.

Under the cover of a large shield, Lin Feng lay down to the front of the water village and looked down carefully. He found that soldiers of Houzhou were quietly sliding into the water from the back end of the boat. He tightened his heart and shouted loudly: "Be careful of the wooden stakes blocking the river. There is a water ghost on the enemy going into the water."

Suo Chao immediately yelled, and the Shouzhou soldiers on the first floor of the water village immediately poked out and shot arrows at the wooden stake. Soon, a little blood was seen floating on the water.

Lin Feng, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and found that the boats were already crowded in front of the wooden stakes on the river. The enemy had already begun to splice the shield arrays together and extend to the rear. Behind the shield arrays on both sides, there were already boards placed one after another and placed on the small boats below.

"The enemy is going to attack along the surface of the small boat, focusing on attacking the enemy soldiers coming down from the big boat." Lin Feng couldn't help but roar. Almost at the same time, Feng Jingyun on his side also loudly reminded: "Master Lin, the attacking fleets on both sides have also rushed to the iron bars on the river."

As soon as the prepared Zhou army launched this attack, it immediately forced the Shouzhou defenders to a face-to-face battle.
