At dawn, thick fog gradually emerged between the sky and the earth, and a vast white fog covered the Thousand Miles of Taihu Lake.

The wind and waves were calm on Taihu Lake. After destroying the giant whale gang water ghosts, the coalition fleet continued to quickly cross Taihu Lake, and hundreds of ships of all sizes were moving forward through the fog.

Suddenly, in front of the coalition fleet, there were ghosts of three large warships. The huge warships broke out like beasts down the mountain and burst out with murderous intent.

"There are several large warships in front of me that seem to be the imperial court. Could it be that the imperial court sent another naval army to come? Why don't we know?"

When the leaders of the gang saw three naval warships, they were immediately confused.

The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and when they were about a hundred feet tall, they could already see the figures on the opposite side clearly.

I saw that on the masts of the three large warships opposite, there were black battle flags of giant whale gangs hanging high.

Behind them, there are three or four hundred of the most common Clippers of the Giant Whale Gang. These Clippers are narrow and long, with a flat bottom, and can only accommodate more than ten people, but they are light in the water and fast in the water, which is the most conducive to water war.

Like wolves, this kind of fast ship often elusively on the canals of Taihu Lake and Wujun. When he encounters a cargo ship, he quickly besieged and bites his prey. When he encounters a large warship of naval officers and soldiers, he quickly retreats, causing the officers and soldiers to chase him out of reach and do nothing.

I saw a large warship in front, a common scholar with a white and handsome appearance, standing at the bow of the ship with a proud and sneer, looking at the leaders of the coalition warship opposite the other side.

On the left is a pretty tough deputy gang leader, on the right are several fierce branch leaders, and behind them are numerous water bandit leaders.

On these three large warships, there are thousands of water bandits, archers and spearmen.

"No, it's not the warship of the court, but the ship of the Giant Whale Gang. The common-clad scholar holding an iron folding fan was Liu Hong, a white-faced scholar in the leader of the Giant Whale Gang!"

"The tough guy behind him is Li Biao, deputy leader of the Giant Whale Gang!"

Someone among the leaders of the gang had seen this common scholar, and someone immediately recognized it.

"But where did the Giant Whale Gang get three large warships? Are these not the ships of navy officers and soldiers!"

"It must be that the officers and soldiers failed to suppress the bandits in the previous few times, abandoned their armor, and the water bandits snatched away several large warships and swords, guns and armor, and made these water bandits free of charge."

Many gang leaders said angrily.

Hanshan Zhenren stood with his hands behind his back on the coalition warship and sang: "Liu Hong, our Wujun coalition forces are coming in large numbers, but you still don't surrender quickly!"

"I didn't expect that Hanshan Zhenren personally led the officers and soldiers and the army of Jianghu to visit the territory of our Giant Whale Gang. He was negligent and neglected! However, if you want to surrender, you can't just rely on your mouth to say that it is not possible. At least you have to capture the head of my Piaomiao Peak."

The common scholar swayed an iron folding fan in his hand, and looked at the country with a gesture of pointing out the country. He smiled and said: "I, a white-faced scholar, Liu Hong, has made a mistake in the strategy of Xiangziju. I didn't expect that the first battle of the Water Ghost Hall was destroyed and you took it to the first place. I was considered a mistake. The leader of this gang is at the head of Piaomiao Peak, waiting for the three masters, the real person, the Medicine King, Li Shuo, Brother Han, and all the gang leaders to come!"

Speaking, he retreated into the water bandits, and with deputy gang leader Li Biao and others, he left in a fast boat and disappeared.

The three warships of the Giant Whale Gang continued to move forward, covering many fast ships and attacking the huge fleet of the coalition forces from the flanks.

Of course, Hanshan Zhenren didn't expect that a sentence or two could make the white-faced scholar surrender. This water battle would still continue.

The 3,000 elite officers and soldiers of the imperial navy on the seven warships and the warships of the Giant Whale Gang suddenly broke out on the water battle.

Hanshan Zhenren and the leaders of all large and small gangs were sitting on the bow of the warship and commanded the battle.

This kind of water battle cannot be used to make a flaw. The officers and soldiers and the water bandits fought each other in a row, attacking each other with swords and guns.

The officers and soldiers occupied the number and strength of seven large warships, overwhelming the bandits. But the Giant Whale Gang water bandits had the advantage on the Clippers.

However, the bandits of the Giant Whale Gang did not dare to send people to the water to drill ships anymore, so they could not create chaos and could not do anything to this coalition fleet.

The soldiers and horses of both sides fought hard on the lake for half an hour, but found that they could not take advantage.

The bandits stopped fighting and quickly retreated.

"Don't chase the enemy, and avoid ambushing!"

The Hanshan Zhenren ordered the warships not to chase the fast ships, and the army continued to attack the head of the Giant Whale Gang, Xidongting Mountain.

...

The huge coalition fleet arrived at the western Dongting Mountain Island and landed on a mudflat called "Bei Ludang".

As its name suggests, this "Bei Ludang" is a vast grassland covered with dense reeds.

When the water of Taihu Lake is heavy rain in spring, it will flood this low-lying land and become a lake. After the lake recedes, it will be exposed, and in autumn and winter, it will become dry land.

So there are large patches of dense reeds growing here, like a green gauze tent and a land maze.

There are some water bandits who often pass by in the reeds, and the trampled paths can be passed through.

This is one of the necessary roads to the main peak of the West Dongting Mountain Island.

Of course, there are other places that can also land on islands, but the terrain is equally dangerous, with mud and swamps and valleys and dense forests, which are not easier to pass through than this Beiludang.

Three thousand officers and soldiers of the coalition forces and tens of thousands of disciples from the world came to the shore from Beiludang, and all the ships remained on the shore.

True Man Hanshan glanced back at these large and small ships and asked the leaders of the gang: "What do you think of these ships?"

The leaders of the gang quickly had different opinions.

Some gang leaders asked to leave thousands of troops to guard these ships so that they would not be destroyed by the Giant Whale Gang and cut off their retreat.

Some gang leaders felt that this would disperse their troops and give the Giant Whale Gang a chance to break through separately. They advocated giving up and concentrating their forces to capture the head of the Giant Whale Gang, destroying the food and grass of the Giant Whale Gang.

This is a very important issue, which is related to the victory or defeat of this battle, life and death and retreat. Both sides argued that they had their own reasons and started arguing.

After Hanshan Zhenren asked, he stopped talking, just waiting for the leaders of the gang to discuss and come up with a result.

Seeing the gang leaders' arguments, Sun Baihong couldn't help but persuade, "Don't argue, you'd better take three thousand disciples from the rivers and lakes to guard the ships! Although I am a master, my martial arts are just average. Attacking Piaomiao Peak, there are real people. Brother Han and Brother Li took action together, which is enough to destroy the white-faced scholar. The mountain in Piaomiao Peak ahead is too dangerous. If you can't attack, if these ships are there, we have a way out!"

In fact, in addition to their masters, the leader of the Tianying Sect, Jackdaw, will definitely participate in the battle. However, Jackdaw is the number one assassin in the Grandmaster realm. Every time he goes to battle, he must be alone and never walk with others.

So, they didn't know where the Jackdaw was now.

"The King of Medicine is not allowed!"

Li Shuo disagreed with a decisive and said in a deep voice: "Our army came to Taihu Lake and fought with its back water. The morale was like a rainbow. Our army united and killed Piaomiao Peak. The Giant Whale Gang could not resist at all. How could we divide the troops at this time and give the Giant Whale Gang a chance to defeat each one?!"

A gang leader asked, "Gang Li, Piaomiao Peak is extremely steep. If the attack fails and the ship is sunk by the water bandits of the Giant Whale Gang, we have not much food and grass, and we are trapped on this island. Do you bear the responsibility for the annihilation of the entire army?"

Li Shuo snorted coldly: "If our army divides its troops, the left-behind people will be destroyed by the Giant Whale Gang, and our army will be defeated one by one. Do you take this responsibility?"

The leader was speechless and didn't dare to say anything more.

The Medicine King stayed behind. If a master is attacked by the Giant Whale Gang and a master is killed in battle, he cannot bear this responsibility. In fact, no matter which plan it is, he faces risks. If he is defeated, he will bear a great responsibility.

Han Pingshan pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Li said this. Our army rushed to Piaomiao Peak and destroyed the Giant Whale Gang's nest. We won this battle.

The West Dongting Mountain is full of trees. Even if these ships are destroyed by the bandits, it doesn’t matter. Our coalition forces can also cut wood into rafts. This island is just a few dozen miles away from Xukou Town. Ordinary rafts can pass by, without worrying about the breaking of the rear road!”

"Should you like, the ships don't care about them! The Giant Whale Gang is already alert and has prepared for it. I'm afraid there will be a tough battle ahead."
