The next day, early in the morning.

On the surface of the river, layers of dense fog are filled, and for several miles, they are all white, and there is not the slightest trace of it.

The Wu soldiers and soldiers who had rested overnight on the ships on the fighting ships, warships and other warships also scooped water on the river, began to wash, and then ate the dry food they carried.

Generally, in ancient water warfare, in addition to the logistics will transport military rations as the foundation after camping and setting up a village, each soldier will also prepare dry rations for the march separately, which is easy to carry and can be eaten directly.

After all, when sailing on rivers, you generally don't arrive at your destination and don't set up camps, so if you don't carry dry food, how can you solve the problem of eating on the march, and you can't cook on the boat, right?

Now Jiang Qin led the crowd to intercept Guan Ping is just incidental, and the real purpose is to go north to the water and garrison the danger, so as not to send the main force of the Jingzhou army back to help after Jingzhou is attacked.

Therefore, this time, the soldiers and soldiers of Wu also carried dry food for about a few days.

After a while, Wu soldiers and soldiers each held swords, guns, bows and crossbows, lined up on the warship, and continued to block the upstream to prevent the Jingzhou army from returning to defense.

Jiang Qin knew very well in his heart that as long as he could delay until the moment when his side sent troops to attack Jingzhou, then it would be done, and at that time, even if the Jingzhou army was allowed to return to defense.

In terms of time, there is not enough.

Building ship, main ship.

At this moment, Jiang Qin stood in armor, holding a sharp sword in his hand, and more than a dozen guards followed behind him, always watching the situation of the Jingzhou army on the shore.

This is the advantage of the building ship, the hull of several feet high is almost the same height as some cities, and the view from top to bottom gives you a panoramic view of the situation on the shore!

After a while, the sound of footsteps gradually sounded, and a personal guard quickly rushed over, rushed to Jiang Qin, then gasped, and arched his hand: "General, there is urgent news from the scouts who are responsible for collecting military information in the rear of our army. ”

"Last night, the downstream along the coast of Chibi Ancient Village, the surrounding villages, and even several Haoqiang manors, were attacked by an unknown armed force."

"They were dressed in robber costumes, and overnight, the villages were broken, and everything they could eat was looted, and there were no casualties, but some estates, not only finances and food were looted, but even people were injured."

In an instant, the guards quickly finished reporting.

When the words fell, Jiang Qin heard this, and his face suddenly turned blue, and he said angrily: "Go south along the coast and loot villages and manors? ”

"Is it a thief?"

"What about the losses?"

When the words fell, he couldn't help but look ugly and asked with difficulty.

Hearing this, the guards immediately surrendered their hands and said: "General, according to the information of the scouts scattered behind, it is estimated that all the people along the coast have been looted, and about one or two major clans have been broken in the manor. ”

After hearing this, Jiang Qin's face became more and more ugly, his eyes were locked, he stared closely at the ancient village on the shore, and muttered: "Guan Ping, it's really difficult!" ”

To this day, Guan Ping led the people to take Xiangyang City, led the lonely army to go deeper, and went straight to the prestige of the general manager of more than hundreds of miles of Xu, so the Jiangdong generals were also afraid of their endless strategies.

Jiang Qin, naturally, is no exception!

He didn't expect that at this moment, in order to force him to go ashore to fight on land, Guan Ping actually resorted to plundering the people along the downstream coast, and even the powerful clans.

Although this strategy is ruthless enough, the sequelae are indeed very large, once the whereabouts are exposed, the name of benevolence and righteousness of the Jingzhou Army will almost be abolished.

It's just that this strategy is indeed effective, and after hearing this plan, Jiang Qin at this time has a serious face and is silent, not knowing what he is thinking.

At this time, a general Wu walked over, his eyes were delicate, and he saw through Jiang Qin's solemn face at a glance, and couldn't help but arch his hand: "General, what's wrong?" ”

"The Jingzhou army, along the coast, went south to plunder the surrounding big manors, and even the people suffered greatly."

When the words fell, he groaned for a while, Jiang Qin's face was complicated, and he muttered.

At this moment, he was also stumped for a while, thinking hard about whether to let it go and continue to block the river, or go ashore and camp to prevent the Jingzhou army from continuing to plunder as always.

Neither of these options can be easily chosen.

First of all, if the former is chosen and the Wu army continues to blockade, then the Jingzhou army will definitely not be able to break through, so let their own side sneak attack the empty Jingzhou, and capture it is certain!

It's just that Jiang Qin is not stupid, he also knows that if he really allows the Jingzhou army to continue to plunder, it will inevitably lead to great turmoil in Wu and instability in the territory.

After all, the strength of the Wudi clan is huge, and most of the places in Jiangdong have industries between major clans, and there are not many estates of the downstream clans along the Chibi coast.

If they get the news, and they are still indifferent, Jiang Qin can't imagine the scene of chaos among the major ethnic groups.

"Ashore, or is the plan still the same?"

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qin couldn't help but feel extremely headache, and he couldn't make up his mind.

In fact, in his heart, Jiang Qin is also inclined to continue to blockade the river and intercept the Jingzhou army, after all, even if Guan Ping really leads the crowd to forcibly break through, he is not afraid at all!

In the water war, Jiang Qin was confident, and in Guan Yu's absence, he would beat any Jingzhou naval army.

"It's just that once you go ashore, the outcome is uncontrollable."

Jiang Qin was full of thoughts and muttered to himself.

Just as he weighed it, another rush of footsteps sounded quickly on the boat.

"General Qiyu, the Jingzhou soldiers ask to see you."

At this moment, another guard stepped forward and reported with his hand.

Hearing this, Jiang Qin looked suspicious and said, "Sergeant Jingzhou? ”

"Bring it here."

After thinking for a moment, he still waved his hand.

"No!"

As soon as the words fell, the guard immediately surrendered his promise to leave, and then about half an hour later, the two of them came slowly.

Looking at this sturdy Jingzhou soldier, Jiang Qin's face turned cold, and he said coldly: "Thief, now that the two armies are fighting, you still dare to come to my ship, do you really think that my saber is not good?" ”

There was a loud sound, an angry face, and a faint murderous aura between the words, which shocked the sergeant.

Jiang Qin originally thought that after his own angry shouting, the Jingzhou soldiers would be heartbroken, and they would immediately be afraid.

However, the truth is unexpected!

"Hahaha."

Seeing this, the sergeant laughed incessantly, and only recovered after a while, and said lightly: "Oh, is the general trying to kill me?" ”

"Then please do it, I'm just a cheap life, it's not a pity to die!"

"It's also time for you to wait for the Jiangdong rats to see, my Jingzhou people are still bold, and it is definitely not something that you rats can be scared of."

As soon as the words came out, the surrounding Wu generals and even the guards were shocked.

Jiang Qin was even more speechless, and said secretly: "A member of the Jingzhou Army is so brave and brave, how terrifying will this soldier's combat power be?" ”

For a moment, he couldn't help but think.

Originally, Jiang Qin planned to show his momentum first, deter the Jingzhou soldiers, and see how they reacted, if they were really frightened to kneel and beg for mercy, it would mean that the Jingzhou army was not worried!

At that time, even if he goes ashore to fight, he will not be afraid.

It's just that the performance of this Jingzhou sergeant now makes his eyes look strange, and he secretly attaches importance to the combat power of the Jingzhou army.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qin suddenly said coldly: "Tell me quickly, what is the matter with Guan Ping sending you?" ”

A cold cry, extremely cold.

Seeing this, this sergeant was not afraid at all, his face was indifferent, and he said lightly: "Major General, send me to meet your army." ”

"There is only one purpose, he asked me to tell the general, if you still have a trace of backbone, don't shrink into the river like a fish's head, and if you have the courage to go ashore and fight with our army!"

"In this way, the young general still thinks highly of you, otherwise you should lead the army and flee back as soon as possible."

After a pause, the sergeant continued: "If your army is really obsessed and does not go ashore to fight our army, then I am afraid that the downstream will become a purgatory on earth. ”

"General, think clearly."

A word fell, and then it came to an abrupt end, and the sergeant said no more.
