Yan Yi, under the order of Li Yang, led fifteen Molong warships and hundreds of other high- and middle-level warships to outside Liyang City.

At the dock, looking at the numerous small transport ships they transported, Li Yang nodded with satisfaction. With these small ships crossing the river, the battle should have begun.

Of course, not only these small warships came with the ships, but also many shipbuilders and workers.

Before Yan Yi came, Li Yang ordered people to start building shipyards. These shipyards built ships only one aspect, and they also asked them to repair ships.

Of course, the main body of maintenance is still high-end warships.

In the battle of crossing the river, a small boat must carry people by. When the boat is hit, it basically only has the rhythm of swallowing it up, and there is no chance to come back, so naturally there is no need to repair it.

Large ships, due to their deep draft, should not be approached to the shore, otherwise they will be attacked by the enemy as a target, but they can be used as a distance to clean up the enemies on the shore and help their soldiers land. This is also the reason why Li Yang asked Yan Yi to bring Mo Long.

Since you want to attack the enemy, you will inevitably be counterattacked by the enemy, and damage will inevitably be inevitable.

These advanced warships can be different from small boats, not only a matter of cost, but also time.

Not to mention Molong, it only takes a lot of manpower and time to build a high-end warship. If it is lost, manpower and material resources will be wasted.

Although everything was ready, Li Yang did not directly order an attack. He still had to take advantage of his advantage on the water.

At Zhang Liang's suggestion, Mo Long took the lead and lined up in a row and slowly headed towards the opposite shore.

The enemy army opposite observed the whereabouts of Li Yang's battleship, and a large number of soldiers immediately rushed over.

But to their surprise, Mo Long did not come directly to the other side, but stopped in the middle of the river.

After reaching the range of Molong, the city-guarding crossbow loaded on the Molong ship began to fire a volley towards the enemy on the other side. The enemy was obviously caught off guard. In just one round, thousands of casualties were killed.

This means that the attack range of the city-guarding crossbow is too small. If the Red Refining Chariot is replaced, the number of enemies killed will definitely increase by dozens of times.

Although the loading speed of the city guard crossbow is faster than that of the Red Refining Chariot, it still takes a little time after all. At this time, the enemy's generals have already reacted and urgently ordered all soldiers to retreat slowly.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Li Yang, who was standing on Mo Long, couldn't help but frown and sigh, "The enemy's generals are not ordinary people!"

After all, the number is so large, and they are caught off guard and have some chaos. They can lead the army so quickly and retreat.

However, this did not affect Zhang Liang's plan. Mo Long fired out again in the next round of attacks, and then continued to turn the bow of the ship, continuing to move like the other side of the river. After reaching the range again, the city guard crossbow fired again.

Because the Molong is tall and the range of the defending crossbow is far higher than that of the archers, this is almost a one-sided strike. Even if the enemy retreats one after another, it cannot completely avoid casualties.

Of course, Zhang Liang and Li Yang also knew that Mo Long could not knock the opponent down. In addition, because of Mo Long's body size, being too close to the shore may cause stranding, so they just planned to suppress it by force and retreat.

But when they stopped the ship again and planned to launch the last wave of attack, countless open fires suddenly lit up in a small jungle on the other side. Then, with a shout, these stars all rushed towards the ink dragon on the Yangtze River.

"Rocket!" Li Yang had good eyesight. When the fire point flew over, he saw clearly and quickly said to Yan Yi: "Retreat quickly!"

Yan Yi knew the matter was serious, so he quickly sent a command with a flag. All Molongs gave up this attack and hurriedly retreated.

However, Molong is large after all, and even if it is driven by the mechanism, it is not so easy to turn around. He has been experiencing three waves of arrow rain before he escapes and evacuates.

Fortunately, the outer layer of the Molong is covered with ink bamboo. This material is soft and firm and not easy to burn. Although it is still burned in some places, Zhenhaijun handled it properly and did not suffer much damage.

Just as Li Yang listened to the soldiers reporting the ship's situation and breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Liang said.

"Brother, the enemy's generals are probably very capable."

When Li Yang heard this, he frowned and nodded, "It is indeed not easy to be able to react at such a quick time, and to ambush archers in the jungle without us realizing it, but second brother, you can do it as planned, so don't get too close to the shore after that."

"promise!"

As long as it does not enter the archer's shooting range, the Molong can have an absolute advantage.

In the following days, Mo Long would "stroll" the river a few times almost every day. As long as the enemy approached the shore, he would launch a ruthless attack on the opponent. Although he did not kill many enemies, he was completely suppressed.

This lasted for 10 days. After ten days, the enemy no longer approached the water shore and stayed away from Mo Long's attack range.

Looking at the enemy's situation, Li Yang knew that the time had come, so he took advantage of the thick fog in the morning and ordered Mo Long to take the lead again and slowly sail towards the other side.

However, this time, behind Mo Long was followed by a small warship filled with soldiers.

There is heavy fog in Japan today, and the visibility on the river surface is even lower.

Fortunately, the boats are not far apart, and Mo Long has many experiences in sailing, so it should not be difficult to go to the reservation place.

After a short time of sailing, Molong safely arrived at the designated location, which was still dozens of meters away from the shore. The depth of the water ahead had not been tested. Molong could not move forward any further, so he stood across the ship, kept on guard at any time, and made a way to let the boat behind him land on the shore.

Everything was silent and there was no reaction on the other side. Just when Li Yang and the others thought the action was going smoothly, a rough voice sounded on the other side.

"Children Li Yang, I know that the thick fog will come today. I have ordered people to take a boat to wait in the river to report your whereabouts. Now it is approaching. Let's stay here, and people will sing drums and attack!"

This man's voice was strong and could be heard from such a distance. It can be seen that his strength was extraordinary. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of drums and thunder on the other side, accompanied by countless sounds of breaking through the air.

With such a distance, there is no need to say much about the rain of arrows, but there are also many thick crossbow arrows and giant stones.

Li Yang was the first to discover, his eyes widened, and he quickly ordered his soldiers to retreat.

The enemy has brought the siege equipment over, which means they are prepared for a long time. If they forcefully land on the attack, they will probably be defeated, so Li Yang did not hesitate.

The small troop transport ship was very slow due to full load. Most of the small warships that passed Mo Long before had been destroyed and killed.

Seeing these casualties, Li Yang gritted his teeth and issued an order to Yan Yi.

Mo Long blocked the attack horizontally, first covered the boat to evacuate out of the attack range, and ordered all the city-guarding crossbows on the ship to fight back. Li Yang believed that Mo Long's hardness would not be easily destroyed.

Looking at the giant crossbow arrows shooting on Molong, we can infer that the enemy's siege equipment is actually weaker than that of Li Yang's side. Molong covers his soldiers to counterattack during the evacuation, and I believe that it can also cause a considerable blow to the enemy.

After the boat had retreated, Mo Long began to turn around quickly and evacuate here.

Fortunately, Li Yang has an absolute dominance address on the water, and the enemy dare not pursue him.

In the end, everyone returned to Liyang to count the spot. The battle lost more than 20,000 troops. Because they fell into the water, they could not come back. Therefore, there were not many injured, but there were tens of thousands.

There are several other Molong and high-end warships, which are severely damaged, and the high-end ones are almost unable to come back.
