The moon is bright and the night is quiet.

Yin County, county office.

On the bamboo mat, a young man sat cross-legged, looking at the news in his hand, which was sent back from Jingzhou.

"It seems that Jingzhou is determined to win the mountain capital and Zhuyang!"

He muttered to himself.

This young man is Yuan Xu, the county commander of Yin County, the word Fenghua, in his early thirties this year, a member of the Yuan family, familiar with poetry and books, and has also learned martial arts.

The Yuan family of the fourth and third princes has a great business, and there are countless clansmen, but there are few who can get ahead.

Yuan Xu is Yuan Shu's more optimistic talent, when Yuan Shu seized Nanyang, he was appointed as the chief secretary of Nanyang, in charge of Nanyang's internal affairs, no matter how big or small, he handled it very well, especially for Wuyin, Wuyin is the place where the Mu family dragon rises, and the Mu family has a deep foundation, but it was gradually disintegrated by him.

Originally, he could have risen to the rank of the governor of Nanyang Taishou Mansion, but the Nanyang Change, Nanyang County was defeated and forced to give up the land of the three counties, which also made Nanyang Taishou Mansion lose control of the southwest of Nanyang.

Therefore, he was also appointed by Yan Xiang as the county commander of Yin County, and concurrently served as the county lieutenant of Yin County, in charge of the military and political affairs of Yin County, and there were not only more than 1,000 Yin County soldiers under his command, but also 3,000 elite Yuan Army main force.

With such a force, he can have a certain amount of checks and balances in the entire southwest of Nanyang, whether it is Wudang County, a pastoral army city in the west, or Deng County, Nanjun.

He originally wanted to use the influence of Yin County to gradually expand and secretly regain control of several county towns in Zhuyang and Shandu, but Jingzhou suddenly sent troops, but it was breaking the silence in the southwest of Nanyang.

"If I send troops, can I fight for it?" Yuan Xu was thinking, but he was a little hesitant about this decision, after all, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou were menacing, and the rivers and waterways he had blocked, it was difficult for the Jingzhou army to go north, but whether he could go south was also a problem.

But Shandu and Zhuyang were originally the cities of Nanyang, and if Jingzhou was allowed to seize it, Jingzhou would be waiting to enter Nanyang with one foot.

I'm afraid this is not what the head of the family, Yuan Shu, wants to see.

"Boom!"

Just as he was thinking, a sudden roaring sound made him tremble.

He didn't care about putting on his shoes and socks, he stood up directly from the bamboo mat, pushed the door out, looked into the distance, only saw the sky in the west, and the firelight reflected half of the sky, he shouted angrily: "Come on, what's going on in Xicheng?" ”

"Lord County, there is ...... There is an enemy attacking my Yin County at night, and the west ...... The western city wall has been ...... was breached, and Li Yujunhou's three hundred soldiers were all wiped out! A county soldier rushed in, panting and reporting.

"What?"

Yuan Xu's pupils contracted suddenly, at this time, there were actually soldiers and horses attacking Yin County, where did the soldiers and horses come, one question after another turned in his mind.

But now I can't take care of it.

There were only 1,000 county soldiers in the city.

The armies were stationed on the rivers and blocked the rivers for him.

"Pass my military order, all the county soldiers immediately rush to Xicheng, and immediately take my token, go outside the city to see Captain Yu An, and order Captain Yu An to immediately lead the army back for reinforcements!" Yuan Xu returned, picked up a sword, and asked people to put on armor for him, while quickly issuing military orders.

"No!"

The county soldier took the order and turned away.

"Wait!" Yuan Xu stopped the county soldiers: "Tell Captain Yu An to return with two thousand soldiers, and the rest continue to drive the warships, block the rivers and waterways, be careful and vigilant, do not take it lightly, beware of someone rushing across the waterway to the north!" ”

"Yes!"

The county soldier received the order here and quickly left.

……

……………………

on the river.

The blue waves are surging, and the river is panting.

In autumn, the water level of the river is much lower, but this section of the water flow is always panting, but Yin County has established a water village here, and the water village is crossed, but it suppresses a lot of torrent water waves.

"Move!"

The military marquis of the fifth battalion scout song is a handsome young man, he personally drove a small ship, under the cover of the night, quietly approached this water village, found that there was movement in the water village ahead, he quickly took the small ship to return, and reported to the main general Zhang Liao: "Report to the general Lang, there is movement in the water village ahead!" ”

"It seems that the tactics of attacking the east and west have worked!"

Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief, stood on the deck, and looked ahead: "Lin Meng, you did a good job, continue to investigate their movements, see how many soldiers they have moved ashore, and find out the various water paths in the water village, I want to know best!" ”

"No!"

Junhou Lin Meng was born as a water bandit, was captured by Zhang Liao personally, and returned to the Jingping Second Army, familiar with water, unmatched in the water to hide his breath, and his martial arts were extraordinary, and he was personally appointed by Zhang Liao as the fifth battalion scout Qu Junhou.

Lin Meng investigated back and forth a few times, and after half an hour, there was news, and he handed over his hand to report: "General Zhonglang, 1,000 to 2,000 soldiers have been dispatched to the water village in front of him, and it is estimated that there are at least 1,000 soldiers in the water village, and the gate of the water village is blocked before and after, and their warships are also driven, and they have been at the exit of each water flow!" ”

"Alert?" Zhang Liao squinted slightly, but he couldn't think of it.

It seems that he underestimated the chief general of Yin County, so he was able to calm down, and when he transferred troops back to defense, he still left behind the defensive power of Shuizhai, which made him embarrassed.

Now it's ready to shoot and has to be sent.

But......

Their water army may not be able to rush over, after all, the water village in front of it is a strong water village, and there are more than 1,000 soldiers to defend it, and his fifth battalion only has experience in fighting with water bandits when it comes to water warfare, and the regular army has never fought it.

"How's it going?" Mu Jing rubbed his eyes from the cabin.

He didn't have such a good spirit as Zhang Liao, while waiting, he returned to the cabin and squinted for a while, heard the movement outside, and then woke up and hurriedly came to ask about the situation.

"My lord, we're in trouble!"

Zhang Liao explained the matter in detail, with a slightly bitter expression: "I underestimated the chief general of Yin County, although he did transfer troops back to Yin County for defense, but he also left troops on the river, so that we could not take advantage of the night and quietly pass, and I underestimated their water village, the water village in front, the preliminary investigation, as solid as a rock, if you attack, there is not much certainty, now we are in a dilemma!" ”

"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!"

Mu Jing was silent for a while, and said: "Dilemma, always take in or retreat, no choice, then make a choice, the navy army does not fight, how can it dominate in the water, since they want to stop us, then we will fight with them before dealing with the Jingzhou navy!" ”

His firm eyes burst out with a hint of fighting intent, and he shouted angrily: "Fight!" ”

"No!"

Zhang Liao's confidence suddenly soared, Mu Jing was right, before the dilemma, they will always take in or retreat, no matter what the odds are, they must rush over.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Fifth Battalion of the Second Army of Jingping gathered all the warships that went south this time, twelve fighting ships, plus a full twenty-six warships, which appeared in a zigzag shape on the west river channel of the water village, and under the rapid panting of the river, they accelerated their movements, like an arrow, and suddenly rushed to the water village in front.

"What's that?" On the observation platform of the water village, two Nanyang soldiers carefully looked at the position, one of them widened his eyes, looking at the shadow that appeared in the west river, his pupils changed color all of a sudden, and he suddenly shouted: "It's the enemy, the enemy...... Raid! ”

The last word he called out was silent, for he had been killed instantly by an arrow through his throat.

"Enemy attack!"

The comrades-in-arms next to him screamed in horror, and the sound waves were so loud that they triggered the movement of the entire water village.

"Enemy attack?"

"Assemble the ships!"

"Go to the high platform!"

"Archers, fight back!"

The water village has been alarmed, and these soldiers quickly moved.

"Sons, this is the first water battle of our Jingping Second Army, we are a water army, if we want to dominate in the water, this battle must be won, all warships, listen to my orders!"

Zhang Liao stood on the deck and shouted angrily: "Rush in!" ”

"Rush in!"

"Rush in!"

The raid has begun, there is no need to hide, one by one the sailors lit the torches, under the light of the torches, the front was reflected, one by one the warships suddenly moved, the fighting ships were in front, the ships were left and right, rushing down the water, the speed accelerated, the momentum was strong, and it imitated entering the realm of no one.
