"General Chen!" Zhou Cang bowed his hand, and after saluting, he said unceremoniously: "It's not that I want to interrupt you, now the battle of our navy army is obviously inferior to the Jiangxia army, our strongest is still the battle on land, if you want to eat the Jiangxia army, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than attacking the city!" ”

"The water battle of the Jingping Water Division is indeed inferior to the Jiangxia Water Army!"

Zhang Liao said softly.

After fighting so many games and suffering so many losses, he still has this self-understanding, and it is not a shame, after all, they were all elites in land warfare before, and it still takes a process of adaptation to suddenly switch to Jianghe.

"General Zhou Zhonglang, I know what you said, and the lord also knows it!"

Chen Gong said with a smile: "But we still have to fight!" ”

"Why?"

Zhou Cang frowned.

"Because this aspect is the weakest aspect of their defense, and it is because of their self-confidence that it is our opportunity, and this is the breakthrough!"

Chen Gong said softly: "In fact, our goal has never been to besiege the city, besieging the city will inevitably be a protracted war, we have no stalemate at all, after all, tens of thousands of soldiers, the daily consumption is a huge amount, and the Minghou Mansion can't hold on for a long time!" ”

"But the siege is also inappropriate, and we still suffer a lot from the hard-hitting combat method, so we have to make a breakthrough!"

"This breakthrough is Jiang Xiajun!"

"With the strength of the warship, the Jiangxia army crisscrosses the Han River and is not afraid of our naval ability, this is their self-confidence, it is really because of their self-confidence that they left us a chance!"

"My lord and I have already calculated, eating the Jiangxia army is a better deployment for us than attacking Xiangyang head-on!"

Chen Gong pointed to Hanshui and said: "In fact, there is no difficulty as you imagined, the siege of the city before was just a look we did, have you noticed that although our soldiers and horses seem to be besieging Xiangyang on three sides, the main force is actually concentrated in the west!" ”

"As long as we have the opportunity to bring in the Jiangxia army, we will annihilate them!"

"Brought in?"

Chen Zhi squinted, looked at Chen Gong, and said, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" ”

"It's not easy!"

Chen Gong nodded: "But there is a chance!" ”

"Where is the opportunity?"

"Here!" Chen Gong pointed to the West River and said, "This is an attack port we have left for Jiangxia, as long as Jiangxia's warships can enter the West River from the Han River, we will have a chance to annihilate them all here!" ”

This layout, starting with the siege, has already been carried out, and the goal is not Xiangyang, but ...... Jiang Xiajun.

………………………………

Han water.

Huang Zu led his troops, one by one, in a neat queue, moving slowly, from the waters of the southern suburbs of Xiangyang along the waterway of the Han River, slowly going north, into the western suburbs of Xiangyang.

"Where is Zhang Shuobu now?"

On the deck, Huang Zu asked.

"I've crossed the Quantum Mountain and are about to enter Longzhong!" Chen replied.

"Let him slow down his march!"

Huang Zu said: "Unless we are clear about the troubles on the waterway, don't let them enter the western suburbs and step into Longzhong, their strength is still somewhat inferior to the herdsman!" ”

In the war between the land foot soldiers, he knew very well that the Jiangxia army was inferior to the herding army.

Therefore, this battle can only be fought from the water.

"Lord Taishou, there's Half Moon Bay ahead!"

A scout ship returned to give a report.

"Go all out!"

Huang Zu looked ahead: "I'll fight them head-on!" ”

"No!"

The congregation will obey.

One after another, the Jiangxia warships traveled like the wind on the Han River, like a fragmented bow and arrow, sprayed out, and rushed towards the Jingping Second Army Water Village in front.

"Lord Captain, the Jingzhou Navy Division has attacked!"

Half Moon Bay, shaped like a half moon, pointed before and after, wide in the middle, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the fourth battalion of the second army of Jingping camped here, Captain Mo Bao hunted with bright eyes, staring ahead: "I saw it!" ”

"Captain, do you want to attack?"

"Hit it closer!"

Mo Bao said in a deep voice: "At least put them within fifty steps of us before we start to fight back!" ”

"It's getting closer!"

"Ready!"

All the soldiers on the water village are ready to fight.

"Stop me!"

Mo Bao ordered in an instant.

"Archer, release the arrow!"

"Ballista ready!"

"Trebuchet!"

Although the water village is simple, it is very tightly arranged, and the battlements are instantly exposed, and countless archers begin to pull their bows and arrows, facing the front.

"Woo Woo !!!"

Bows and arrows rained down suddenly.

"Keep attacking!"

Huang Zu's ship did not receive any damage, he would only fight the ship, avoid the arrows, and continue to charge.

The elite of the Jiangxia Navy is blooming at this moment.

"Kill!"

"Charge!"

"Lower the sail to evade!"

"Dodge the arrows and rush over!"

One by one, the warships charged fiercely in the direction of the water village.

Boom Boom Boom !!!!

The floodgates of the water village were violently reopened by several fighting ships, and the wood and bamboo that built the water village suddenly shook, and the warships stirred up the waves of the river, and one heavy wave after another was rushing towards this water village.

"Fierce enough!"

Mo Bao sneered: "Pass my military order, give up the water village, burn the water village, stop the enemy with fire, everyone, get on the warship and leave the water village!" ”

"Yes!"

A group of military marquis received the order.

The fourth battalion began to retreat, and one by one the warships had already been prepared in the upstream section, and the soldiers boarded the ships in an orderly manner, and then set fire to the water village, and withdrew against the river to the north.

The Jiangxia army did not take an hour to occupy this water village.

But all that was left for them was a pile of charcoal burned on this side and a pile of bamboo charcoal ruins on that side.

"I actually gave up on my own initiative!"

Huang Zu's eyes flashed with a glint of essence: "Such a good defense of the bay, if you say don't want it, don't want it, this general of the herdsman army made a decision immediately!" ”

He had thought that the shepherd would defend to the death.

After all, on this Han water, the herdsmen did not have a few water villages, and they were different from the Jiangxia army that could camp at will, after all, the herdsmen's water warfare capabilities were lacking, and they camped and chose to camp in the bays that were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There are not many such places on this Han River.

To give up one is to have one less.

As long as these water villages are pulled out, the herdsmen will have the ability to gain a foothold on the Hanshui River.

"Lord Taishou, I will immediately lead my troops and attack the next bay!" Chen watched the Mu Jun withdraw from the attack range, and said with some unwillingness.

At this time in pursuit, more or less, they can leave behind a little of the shepherd's soldiers and ships.

"No!"

Su Fei stood up and said to Huang Zu: "Lord, the main thing at this time is to be stable, it is Xiangyang's order to attack the herdsman, as long as we obey the order and attack step by step, we don't have to force them so tightly!" ”

"But now that the shepherd's army has retreated, it's a great opportunity!"

"Captain Chen, they are not defeated, but retreated, they have not suffered great damage at all, the main force is still there!" Su Fei said: "If we chase up, maybe there will be an ambush, the herdsman has always been cunning, you have to be careful!" ”

"Then let's rest first!"

Although Huang Zu didn't plan to work or contribute, he wouldn't sell his life to Liu Biao, he would fight when he should fight, but preserving his strength was always the first place, hearing that there would be an ambush, he still gave up the pursuit, and said to Chen: "Chen, let the scout ships out, I must know the news of all the rivers around me!" ”
