Chapter 257: On the Yangtze River

Xiangyang City.

Fifty miles to the north, the army of Meng Yuan moved.

Kublai Khan personally commanded the army and personally set out on the expedition.

A total of 700,000 troops, known as a million troops, approached the southern border.

On the land route, the army of Meng Yuan marched towards Xiangyang City, looking like they were going to storm Xiangyang by land and lay the foundation of the battle.

But in the dark, the 80,000 sailors of Mengyuan had already set off from a certain port on the Yangtze River and attacked Jiangling City.

Jiangling City, as a city south of Xiangyang, is only more than 20 miles apart, Meng Yuan is to capture this city with a naval army, and then attack the north and south with the land army in the north, so that Xiangyang becomes a lonely city.

I have to say.

This strategy is indeed very good, if the Song State is still sitting in Xiangyang, I am afraid that Meng Yuan will succeed in the end, but Meng Yuan does not know, Kublai Khan does not know, the lord of the Han Dynasty has already seen through their calculations.

Gangneung Fortress Port.

"Your Majesty, the warships are ready, there are nearly fifty warships in the city, but are you sure that the king will only use one?

In front of Dian Wei.

Liu Xie stood on the port, with his hands behind his back, looking at the endless Yangtze River.

"It's okay, loneliness is deliberate. Liu Xie waved his hand.

"Dare to ask the king, do you want to board the ship?" Dian Wei asked respectfully.

"Take a hundred forbidden troops and board the ship with Gu. Liu Xie gave the order, swept his eyes, and landed on the warship in front of the port, and then stepped on it, swept out of the air, and landed firmly on the top of the warship.

"Yes. Dian Wei was a simple brain, so he naturally didn't understand Liu Xie's calculations, and immediately ordered the soldiers of the forbidden army under his command to board the ship.

Liu Xie's warship.

"King Qi, the soldiers have boarded the ship, what happens next?" Dian Wei asked respectfully.

"Ordered other soldiers to also board the ship in the port to wait, waiting for the call of Lone, this ship headed for the Yangtze River, waiting for the Mengyuan army. Liu Xiedao.

"Yes. Dian Wei immediately received the order.

Then set sail, the oars rowed, and Liu Xie's warship quickly sailed in and headed towards the center of the Yangtze River.

In this wide Yangtze River, although Liu Xie's warship is large, it is like a flat boat on the turbulent river.

"Calculate the time, the Meng Yuan Navy should be coming too, right?" Liu Xie stood at the bow of the boat, staring ahead, with a cold and murderous intent on his face.

Eyes rolled.

On the northern side of the distance.

There were nearly 200 Mengyuan warships galloping on the Yangtze River, and the target was Jiangling City.

Ali Hague, the first general of the Mengyuan Dynasty, personally commanded the Mengyuan naval army.

After Meng Yuan destroyed the Jin State and won the northern part of the Central Plains, he knew that the Song State was defending according to the Yangtze River, and if he only relied on the ground army, he would not be able to destroy the Song State, so he secretly cultivated a naval army, and secretly sent martial arts masters to plunder shipbuilders and build warships in the Song State, the purpose was to destroy the Song State Navy and destroy the Song State one day.

But what Meng Yuan didn't expect was that the Song Kingdom had been destroyed, and their enemies had become the Great Han.

"The Great Khan has given me all hopes, Jiangling City is broken, and my Mengyuan army can attack from the north and south, break the important town of Xiangyang, destroy the Han Dynasty, and take charge of the Central Plains, and the Great Khan will dominate the world, and I will also become the first general of my Mengyuan and control the soldiers and horses of the world. Ali Hague stared at the raging river and thought excitedly.

With more than 200 warships and 80,000 well-trained Meng Yuan elites, if it was only the original Song State, it would not be able to resist at all.

"Command the whole army, speed up, and go straight to Gangneung. Ali Hague shouted.

"Yes. ”

The herald-bearer on the ship immediately gave the order.

The Mongol warship, which was not slow, accelerated and quickly advanced towards Gangneung.

Not for a while.

"General, there is a situation. ”

On the Mengyuan warship, a Mengyuan soldier said with some horror.

"What?" Ali Hague looked a little surprised.

"General, look ahead, there is a warship. Ali Hague's soldier pointed ahead.

"En?" Ali Hague's eyes widened slightly, looking ahead, and came into view, a warship was floating lonely on the river, like a flat boat, which was particularly conspicuous, and on the warship, a fluttering flag was even more conspicuous.

It is a banner with the word "Han".

"This is the warship of the Han Kingdom, could it be that they have discovered the traces of our army? But no, if the Han Kingdom has discovered the purpose of our attack on Jiangling City, why is there only one warship and no other warships?" Ali Hague's eyes were slightly condensed, and his expression was confused.

This sudden Han warship made him a little complicated.

Look at it.

In the waters around the Han warship that he was afraid of, there were no ambush warships at all, after all, on the Yangtze River, where there was no shelter, there was no ambush.

"General, it is possible that this is a patrol warship of the Han Kingdom, so there is nothing to worry about. A young general Meng Yuan said arrogantly.

"It should be a coincidence, otherwise it wouldn't be just a Han warship. Ali Hague thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason, and in the end it could only be determined as a coincidence.

"Since you're here, don't go back. ”

"Tell the whole army, make a detour to the left and right, and sink this enemy ship. Ali Hague came back to his senses and immediately ordered.

"Yes. ”

The Mengyuan warship, which had been slowing down somewhat, accelerated suddenly.

More than 200 warships scattered around the warship where Ali Hague was located, and surrounded the lonely Han warship from the left and right.

"Huh?"

"Why didn't they run away?"

As the Mengyuan warship gradually approached, to Ali Hague's surprise, the warship that disturbed him did not have the slightest intention of escaping, and still stood quietly in the middle of the river.

Seeing this scene, Ali Hague, who had been a little relieved, tensed up again.

"There shouldn't be any accidents, I have more than 200 warships and nearly 100,000 soldiers, even if the Han Kingdom has an ambush, it can't be the opponent of my army. Ali Hague couldn't see through the purpose of the big man at all, so he could only comfort himself.

Look back. 、

"Your Majesty, the enemy warships are coming, intending to surround us, do you want to retreat to the port?" Dian Wei looked at the Mengyuan warships surrounded on three sides, and said solemnly.

"No, Lone just has to wait for them to come. Liu Xie smiled, not worried.

The reason why there is only one warship here, Liu Xie's purpose is to attract all the Mengyuan warships, and then use this to summon the Han naval army in the main realm, cut off their back roads, and make it impossible for them to escape.

And more importantly, Liu Xie was eager to test what level of strength he had reached after achieving the Grandmaster Realm, and these Mengyuan warships were Liu Xie's sword testing stones.

"Ballista ready. ”

Then.

On the two flanks of Liu Xie's warship, the Mengyuan army had already surrounded it, and hundreds of ballistae had been aimed at the warship.

This also made the hundred forbidden soldiers on the warship a little panicked, after all, they were surrounded by hundreds of Mengyuan warships.
