Wuhu County is a small county, belonging to Xuanzhou, located in the northeast corner of Xuanzhou, about 200 miles away from Jiangning County, its opposite bank is the mouth of the Xushui River, straight to Chaohu Lake, and from the Lishui next to Wuhu Lake all the way south, you can reach Taihu Lake, become a shortcut into the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, the importance of Wuhu's status is shown.

However, there was almost no garrison in Wuhu at ordinary times, and Zhu Jun also discovered this loophole, and he finally decided to land from Wuhu, so he successively hid the big ships in the mouth of the Misushui River and did not stop mooring on the surface of the Yangtze River.

In fact, Han Rong also thought of the possibility of the enemy landing from Wuhu, but Zhu Jun was very cunning, he anchored thousands of trough ships on the river in Jiangyang County, if the Runzhou Navy was transferred to Wuhu for defense, then Zhu Jun's army might land in Dantu County instead.

Han Yun also had a countermeasure, he ordered Luo Ziyu to lead a small naval army of more than 1,000 people and ten warships to go to Wuhu under the cover of night, and also hid in Lishui.

On the eighth day after Han Feng killed Chen Feng, the army of 100,000 Zhu Zhu had gathered at the mouth of the Misu River, and that night the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and a full moon hung in the sky, sprinkling ten thousand beams of silver light on the surface of the river.

The first big ship was dispatched, it was a cargo ship of 3,000 stones, huge in size, full of five hundred soldiers, surrounded by several small sentinel ships to escort it, the large cargo ship was powered by oars, with three large oars on each side, rowing on the water, each large oar was controlled by three people, and the speed was not very fast.

Hundreds of steps away from the first cargo ship, a second large cargo ship also appeared, also loaded with 500 soldiers, Zhu Jun got a total of 15 large cargo ships, which could throw nearly 8,000 soldiers to the opposite shore at one time.

The first big ship had already reached the middle of the river, and at this time, several warships suddenly appeared on the river on the opposite bank, the warships were not big, they were only about a thousand stones, and there were dozens of soldiers on them.

The soldiers on the cargo ship were so shocked that they fired more than a dozen rockets into the sky to warn the police, and Zhu Jun, who was commanding on the north shore, was also taken aback when he learned that there were enemy warships on the other side, and urgently ordered all the warships to attack and ensure that the troop carriers arrived on the opposite shore smoothly.

Zhu Jun also has hundreds of warships in his hands, but they are all small warships, the size is about 100 stones, a ship has only a dozen soldiers at most, in fact, it is a patrol ship, while all are on the shore to carry out guard, at this time the situation in the river is critical, Zhu Jun did not consider the safety of the riverside, and sent out more than 100 patrol boats, forming a wolf pack tactic to deal with the enemy's warships.

As all the patrol boats sailed towards the middle of the river, the north shore became deserted, and at this moment a small sampan approached the mouth of the river silently, lurking like a lone wolf on the river. About 300 paces from the shore, there were no patrol boats along the coast, and the soldiers on the shore could not find the small sampan.

The eighth troop carrier came out of the mouth of the Misu River, and became a lone troop carrier with no small boat around it.

There were two people on the small sampan who went into the water silently, both of them wearing silver water backs, the same color as the river, and they were not visible at all.

These two people were Ying Caihe and a firearms battalion soldier who was proficient in water, any assassin who came out of the Hidden Sword Building was very water-based, and Ying Caihe was no exception, and they pushed a waterproof wooden box towards the big ship.

In a moment, the troop transport ship passed by them, cleaving the waves, the current pushing them outward, Ying Caihe flicked a flying claw, grabbed the side of the ship, and she jumped to her feet, and stabbed the hull with a cold dagger.

'Click! The dagger pierced precisely into the gap between the planks of the ship, with great force, and pierced three inches into it, and the dagger was nailed deep into the deck.

Ying Caihe grabbed the hook rope with one hand, stepped on the dagger with one foot, and her body was tightly attached to the hull of the boat, she beckoned to the soldier, and the firearms battalion soldier threw a roll of rope to her, Ying Caihe grabbed it and slowly pulled the soldier over.

The soldier opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing the copper handle of the Iron Fire Thunder, much like the handle on a teapot, and the dagger had a specially designed barb on it, just enough to hook the thin copper handle on the Iron Fire Mine, so that the Iron Fire Mine was tightly attached to the wall of the ship.

The soldier took out the barrel of the fire fold from the box, which contained three fire folds, and threw the box into the river.

The soldier drew a fire breaker and shook it in the wind, and the fire ignited, but the waves on the river extinguished the fire.

"Your position is too low, let me come!"

Ying Caihe bit the flying claw rope with his teeth, reached out and took the fire fold tube and clamped it under his armpit, and asked vaguely, "Tell me what to do?" ”

The soldier broke off the wooden shell on it, revealing the fire rope, and he pointed to the end of the rope and whispered, "Click here, and run for your life as soon as you light it, the farther away the better." ”

"You go first!"

The soldier jumped into the river and immediately disappeared into the foam.

Ying Caihe threw away the rope that was pulling the soldier, and with her free hand, she took out a fire breaker, shook it off, and lit the fire rope, and the fire rope immediately 'snorted' and burned.

Ying Caihe didn't care about the flying claws, a carp flipped back, jumped into the river, and desperately swam to the periphery.

After swimming about 100 steps, a red light burst out on the surface of the river, followed by 'Boom! There was a loud bang, like lightning and thunder, and then the flames rose into the air, turning into a thick black cloud, which could be heard and seen ten miles away, and the huge force of the explosion blew a hole in the hull of the ship seven feet wide, and the river poured into it, and a cry of surprise rang out from inside the ship.

Ying Caihe didn't look back, and desperately swam to the small sampan.

"This way! This way! ”

The soldier just now had already boarded the boat, stretched out his hand to her, Ying Caihe waved his hand, held the side of the boat, jumped on the boat lightly, and the boat quickly sailed towards the Yangtze River.

Zhu Jun, who was sitting on the shore, saw the fire burst with his own eyes, and then like thunder, flames and smoke rose into the air, he stood up in shock, pointed to the explosion and stammered: "That's.... What is that? ”

At this time, two successive explosions were heard on the river again, which was the soldier on the warship throwing two iron fire mines into the opponent's ship, and the iron fire mines detonated in the cabin, but they were too far away, and only the explosion sound was heard from a distance, and the effect was not as strong as under Zhu Jun's eyelids.

Liu Sigu gasped and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is the iron fire thunder that we can't make." ”

"Han Rong also has iron fire thunder?" Zhu Jun said in horror.

"No, it should be Guo Song supporting Han Rong."

Zhu Jun saw that the big boat on the river had sunk and disappeared, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "That.... So what now? ”

Liu Sigu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the situation of the enemy army is unknown, it is better to withdraw the army and come back first, if you can't come like this, the whole army will be annihilated." ”

"Order to withdraw! Withdrawal! ”

Hundreds of rockets shot into the sky, which was the signal for the withdrawal, and the six large troop carriers on the river began to slowly turn around and sail towards the north bank.

Two of the eight troop carriers were blown up and sunk, and 1,000 soldiers died at the bottom of the river, and more importantly, Zhu Zhu was shocked by the opponent's iron fire and thunder, and he was very uneasy in his heart, and he began to hesitate whether to attack Jiangnan.

...........

On the north bank of the Yellow River, twelve 3,000-stone boats transferred from Hedong were ready, and more than 100 experienced boatmen had been recruited.

But the main general Li Bing is still waiting, waiting for the best time to come.

Pei Xin is young and promising, courageous and hardworking, but Guo Song still did not appoint him as the main general, not because he lacked qualifications, but because he still lacked a little bit of heat, which is patience.

On the last day of June, before dawn, the 3,000 Jin army had quietly assembled, and Pei Xin would be the vanguard commander.

Li Bing got the news a few days ago that this year is the 50th birthday of the main general Wang Ling, Wang Ling sent out hundreds of invitations, preparing to hold a birthday banquet in Qinghe County, at the same time, the soldiers have a day off, and the day before yesterday is the soldiers' day, there is money in their hands, and it is a day off, and a large number of soldiers will inevitably go out of the camp today to drink and have fun.

Li Bing looked at the looming city on the opposite bank and said: "It is not difficult for us to capture Mengjin Pass, but the difficult thing is to seize the beachhead and hold it, you lead three thousand brothers to guard until noon, and we will have victory in sight." ”

Pei Xin admired the coach's precision in choosing the timing, which made him feel ashamed, he nodded and said: "For me, as long as I can set foot on the other side of the land, I will not take a step back, and we will fight against the water!" ”

"What a fight!"

Li Bing praised and ordered: "Let's go!" ”

'Woo-'

A low horn sounded on the shore, and 3,000 soldiers began to board the ships in formation, each carrying 250 men, and the large ships began to start slowly and sail towards the other side of the Yellow River.........
