Fang Shoujie looked at Wang Hui's angry look and exclaimed: "Of course, we cannot allow Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers to easily attack Shuicheng. The total number of our guards and naval officers and soldiers is nearly 5,000. The water city has sufficient food and grass reserves. We focus on defending Zhenyang Gate and hold on until the reinforcements of the court arrive."

Wang Hui's face improved slightly, but he still asked in a hurry: "If the city wall on the south side of the Shuicheng is collapsed by chaos and the officers and soldiers on the top of the city cannot defend it, what should we do?"

Seeing this Haifangdao Master showing a swaying and restless attitude, the people in the room were naturally even more nervous and worried.

Fang Shoujie was obviously very familiar with the terrain inside the Water City. When he heard Wang Hui ask such a question, he paused for a moment and said, "As long as the water city works together, the defense in the Water City can be defended. If the rioters attacked the Water City, there will be a second barrier in the Water City!"

Wang Hui asked, "The second barrier, are you talking about the overpass that separates the water city?"

Fang Shoujie nodded and said, "Sir, if the city wall is captured, he ordered all officers and soldiers to retreat to the navy's garrison in the north, use the water city overpass as a defense line, and send troops to urgently block the overpass. The red cannons on the navy's warship can aim here and shoot the chasing soldiers. If Kong Youde's rioters want to pass, it will be difficult to reach the sky."

The overpass is a tall and wide stone arch bridge spanning the water city river channel, which just divides the water city into two halves. The tall bridge holes under the stone arch bridge can pass through ordinary small and medium-sized warships, and is another important road for water city water and land defense.

After hearing the words of Fang Fang, Wang Hui felt a little relieved. He felt that the water city had at least two layers of guarantee, as long as the navy officers and soldiers stuck in the stone arch bridge, the riots were indeed difficult to move.

The navy Tang Shoubei sighed: "Sir, if you really retreat here to defend, it will still be difficult to defend. Now the water city river channel is frozen. The riots can attack the north city of Shuicheng through bridge holes from the ice surface, so that the navy officers and soldiers will have no meaning to get stuck in the stone arch bridge."

Upon hearing Tang Shoudi's analysis, Wang Hui's face immediately became ugly again, and then asked Tang Shoudi: "Is there any way to solve this problem?"

Fang Shoujie was also conscientious, but he was an amateur in water affairs. When he heard what the navy Tang Shoujie said, he frowned and said, "What Tang Shoujie said is true, and he has considered the upcoming battle."

As he spoke, he said to Wang Hui, "I really have to come to this point. I can only send more power to defend the bridge holes tightly. Apart from that, there is no good way for the humble official to do it for the time being!"

Tang Shou coughed lightly and said to Wang Hui: "Sir, the artillery on the warship of the Beiyi Naval Division can solve this problem. Our naval division warships have red barbarian cannons, and you can use artillery to bombard the water surface..."

Shoujie Tang was about to continue his explanation when suddenly everyone in the room felt a tremor under his feet, and at the same time, a violent explosion of gunpowder came from the north of the water city.

Wang Hui was anxiously listening to Tang Shoujie's explanation of the solution. He was shocked and staggered. He quickly held the table. Then, explosions sounded one after another in the water city, and the huge vibration even affected both sides fighting fiercely in Dengzhou City.

After a brief panic, everyone rushed out of the house and stood on the city wall and looked north. They saw the place where the navy warships were mooring. Thick smoke rose into the sky, and the subsequent explosion of gunpowder continued to shake.

Wang Hui's face turned pale. He turned to the navy, and asked Tang Shoujie, "Tang Shoujie, the navy is under your jurisdiction. What's going on?"

Tang Shoujie was also confused. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Mr. I don't know whether to atone for my sins! I'll go check it out now."

Tang Shoudi was worried. He took Niu Liang, Zhan Yuan, Lan Zhengji and the other two of them each for fifty taels of silver, and promised them to temporarily postpone the city wall. Now there was such a big disturbance in the direction of the navy, and he might be implicated.

Thinking of this, Tang Shoujie kowtowed to Wang Hui again and said, "Sir, I have reported to you that the Xun Camp in Pingduzhou was stranded in the Navy Camp, and refused to obey the orders of the adults and refused to come to the city wall to assist in the defense. Are they doing something?"

Wang Hui said angrily: "Hmph, how could his little guard make such a big noise? Does he also want to rebel and rebel?"

Even if he said this, he felt it was ridiculous. The navy Tang Shishi shook his head and said, "Sir, it is impossible for them to rebel and rebel with just 500 people. That is simply a search for death. I heard that the garrison of the Xun Camp in Pingduzhou is willing to stock up on ammunition and weapons, perhaps the gunpowder of the warship exploded!"

Wang Hui was a little surprised and said, "If the gunpowder warehouse exploded, it was his own fault. But how could the gunpowder warehouse explosion be similar to the sound of the red cannon firing, and it was endless?"

Fang Shoujie said on the side: "I guessed that I didn't go to the scene directly for a long time to see it."

Wang Hui ordered: "Yes, the city defense is temporarily handed over to Fang Shou. You can go back to the Navy camp immediately to learn more!"

The continuous loud noises in the north of the water city had already shocked the navy officers and soldiers guarding the city walls. They didn't know why the navy warships made a loud noise like artillery firing.

Several naval commanders comforted the officers and soldiers guarding the city and hurried to find out the situation. When they saw Lord Daowang of the Haidang, Tang Shoujie and other water cities from afar, they were also confused and stared at the direction of the naval headquarters. Obviously, they didn't know what happened in the naval camp?

Suddenly, a few naval officers and soldiers with panic expressions came from under the city wall. The naval officers recognized the officers as officers and soldiers who were staying on duty on the warships at a glance.

These officers and soldiers ran to the generals and shouted: "Sir, I'm not doing well. The Xun Camp in Pingduzhou has forced our navy warships to control, and are now blowing up the ice with gunpowder."

Several soldiers who came from the desert had already alarmed Wang Hui and others not far away. When they heard their reports, Wang Hui was furious and scolded: "What a courageous! Is the garrison of the Xun Camp in Pingduzhou not afraid of the sanctions of the court? The garrison of the Tang Dynasty quickly ordered a thousand naval officers and soldiers and followed the officer to the naval camp to capture this bold and magnificent disciple. I want to see if this person has three heads and six arms."

Fang Shoujie was a little anxious when he heard this, "Sir, withdraw a thousand guards at once, and there are only more than two thousand guards left on the city wall. If the straitors attack, the city gate defense will be tense."

Seeing this, Tang Shou Ge hurriedly explained to Wang Hui a few words. Wang Hui glared at Tang Shou Ge hard, turned to the other party and said, "Catch the Xun Camp in Pingdu Prefecture and other people who took the opportunity to cause trouble. These thousand navy officers and soldiers will return soon. Fang Shou Ge will be more responsible for the time being."

Feng Jian was on the head of the Fu Ship, with only Huang Jinjiang following him. Looking at the dense warships around the navy, he saw sails rising from the three tall masts on the No. 1 Fu Ship. The helmsman of the navy was ready on the triple helm. The gunner on the ship had taken off the cover of the Red Cannon on the ship, revealing the yellow orange cannon body (the whole body of the Red Cannon was made of brass and weighed about 4,000 kilograms).

Zhuang Yingchang, Zhang Wentai, Niu Liang, Zhan Yuan, Lan Zhengji and other navy leaders stood in the head of their warships, waiting nervously for the evacuation operation that was about to begin.

The bird gun soldiers were divided into two teams, stationed on two big blessed ships near the south of the Shuicheng. Wan Youfa and 200 bird gun soldiers stood neatly on the side of the blessed ship, closely watching the situation on the shore. The team was divided into four rows, and fifty people could fire bird guns each time. Of course, the bird gun soldiers on the other blessed ship were also arranged in this way.

It seems that everything goes well, and I waited for the water surface of the Navy Camp to break the ice and then pull the anchor! Feng Jian was holding a long telescope in his hand. This was built by foreign craftsmen in Dengzhou City. Each Dafu ship was equipped with one.

Use this thing to narrow the target distance and see the other party's dynamics clearly. The number of foreign craftsmen in Dengzhou City is not large, and Governor Sun also attaches great importance to it. It is stipulated that the navy guards equipped with telescopes should not be lost, otherwise they will be punished according to the law.

Feng Jian put down the telescope in his hand, and the progress of his personnel arrangements could be clearly understood through the telescope.

I secretly thanked that I took these foreign craftsmen in Dengzhou from Sun Yuanhua's nose in advance, and I was not afraid that these foreign craftsmen would not cooperate. As long as there was enough temptation, these foreign craftsmen would be willing to serve themselves!

Deafening explosions were heard continuously on the ice surface of the Shuicheng. Feng Jian watched as the thick smoke floated up on the water surface and the large pieces of floating ice cracked and began to slowly float and move on the water surface. In this way, if the large pieces of floating ice were not careful, it would cause damage to the ship. As the explosion of the gunpowder bag continued, some large pieces of floating ice were blown up by the gunpowder bag and began to float up and down with the fluctuations of the water flow on the water surface.

The gunpowder bags on the ice had long been placed in a fixed position. Twenty bird gun soldiers were riding in small boats. Each time, twenty gunpowder bags were ignited on the ice. After the gunpowder bags exploded, they ignited the next group of gunpowder bags through the ice, gradually moving towards the Shuicheng Water Gate.

Kong Youde's rebellious army could not pose a threat to the Water Gate, so there was only one naval officer and soldier of the navy coming to assist in defense in the city wall.

Cheng Yousheng led his personal guards to sneak up to the city wall, and suddenly stopped the guards who were caught off guard and successfully controlled the water gate. The officers and soldiers who went to the South Gate to report the news escaped from here.

The matter is urgent, Cheng Yousheng cannot pursue these fish that have missed the net, and it is most important to open the water gate first.

The gunpowder pack cannot blow up the ice layer. The ice at the iron gate of the water gate must be broken and removed by people, before the iron gate can be raised through the winch.

Several personal guards worked together to turn the water gate winch. As the water gate iron gate slowly rose out of the water surface, the large amount of squeezed ice in the water city began to flow towards the gradually open water surface outside the water city.

There was still a water area outside the water city full of ice. Cheng Yousheng led a group of personal guards to quickly walk onto the ice, put the gunpowder bags one by one, and waited for the bird gun soldiers to come and ignite.

The ice layer here is already very thin. In fact, when the navy warship arrives here, it can use the powerful red cannon to bomb the floating ice on the water surface without fear of hurting other warships.

However, Cheng Yousheng was careful and afraid that the floes would cause too much damage to the warship, so he continued to use gunpowder to blast.

Cheng Yousheng had just returned to the location of the Water Gate City Wall and saw a large number of officers and soldiers coming from the east and west walls from afar, and rushed towards the Navy camp with great momentum.
