An hour.

It's been more than an hour since the bloody battle.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.

In this respect, there are no losers on both sides, both are strong armies.

Prior to this, the Guan family's army rarely fought head-on. Cao Cao went south, and even made a turtle with a shrunken head, closed without fighting.

But just because you can't fight doesn't mean you can't fight.

If you go to war, you will die, and if you force a fight, you are stupid.

If the two sides have the same strength and the same elite, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. The generals under the command of the Guan family are not afraid of a decisive battle.

The Jiangdong naval army is strong, and Wang Wei and other naval forces are slightly weaker, but they have an advantage in numbers and fierce generals. So this big war has become a war of attrition.

Frontal hard fighting.

Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liao Hua are all generals who dare to fight, so this battle started, and the fight was so fierce and tragic.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the river was red, and tens of thousands of people died. The river was full of corpses, some lying on their stomachs and some lying down.

Some of the corpses lying in the water were still holding the knives and guns in their hands tightly, and their eyes were wide open, as if they were still fighting, but the blood had already flowed clean, and their heartbeats had long since stopped.

Although there is no corpse blocking the river, it is so exaggerated to block the Yangtze River. But such a scene feels that it can also make ordinary people's scalps troublesome and keep them awake at night.

But the generals on both sides of the war are accustomed to it. is Ding Feng, although Liao Hua is young, he is not very human.

No woman's kindness.

At this moment, Liao Hua, Ding Feng, and Huang Zhong have also returned to the ship, and they are not on the front line. They have already killed and injured many Jiangdong soldiers, and they are all tired.

Liao Hua also received an arrow, was shot in the forearm by the arrow, and is currently cleaning the wound.

"I've always had bad luck, I was almost surrounded, and I was hit by a stray arrow." Liao Hua sat in the cabin, shouting and killing outside, but he sighed.

on the battlefield.

Whether it is Wang Wei or Zhu Zhi, their faces are cold and quiet, but there is a fire burning in their hearts.

At this moment, the soldiers on both sides have already killed the red eye, and among the warships on both sides, you have me, and I have you. And at this moment, it is not clear who has the upper hand and who has the lower hand, and it is very confusing.

But on the whole, there are still thousands of people in Wang Wei's army. It's a pity that Zhu Zhi didn't defeat Wang Wei at the first time.

But even if Wang Wei can win, it doesn't make much sense. Both sides are fighting to the death, with tens of thousands of dead and countless wounded.

Even if you win, you will lose both.

If you don't repair the whole month of January and February, it will be difficult to have the strength to fight again.

Losing both sides is the best outcome.

Sometimes, though, wars tend to be dramatic. At this moment, a tornado suddenly rolled up on the river.

The tornado was not large enough to sweep people up, but it set off a monstrous wind and waves, and many warships of both sides capsized for a while.

The soldiers were knocked out of the water. There was a rough wave, and the soldiers and warships on both sides were blown to pieces. The soldiers on both sides were not bad at swimming, but no one drowned.

But when I was hit by this wind and waves, I was stunned.

The two sides who killed the red eye also drank the stick and calmed down. And Wang Wei and Zhu Zhi's whirlwind were also blown away far away.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, it was to hold you in one breath, and whoever was discouraged first would be defeated. And if it continues to fight like this, it will be a lose-lose situation, and there is not much point.

"Mingjin Collects !!!"

Wang Wei and Zhu Zhi took advantage of this kung fu to exhale, and then invariably ordered their own soldiers to withdraw their troops.

With the sound of a rapid sound of gold and iron, the two sides each stopped fighting, and then gathered their soldiers. Because of the scattered blows by this gust of wind and waves, the soldiers on both sides have you and me, and I have you, while collecting their own soldiers, they can also catch many prisoners of the other side.

After a burst of ink, the two sides quit the battle and returned to the water village.

It seems that there is no winner or loser, but in fact, the clues have been revealed.

Jiangdong soldiers have dominated the Yangtze River for many years and have never met an opponent. Zhu Zhi wanted to swallow Wang Wei's army in one fell swoop this time, but it turned into a lose-lose situation.

Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liao Hua's courage to fight made Zhu Zhi understand.

And how many years has the Guan family's water army been established?

"If you give them a few more years, rely on the population advantage of the Jianghan Plain. The tide may be turned! ”

"From this point of view, Zhou Yu is not wrong to attack Nanjun with all his might. My Jiangdongcheng is also a mountain and river, and defeat is also a mountain and a river. The population is sparse, the terrain is down, and the mountains are more and more chaotic. Ay. ”

Zhu Zhiming withdrew his troops, and after returning to Shuizhai, he was worried.

The battle lasted for an hour, and it was already an hour and a half by the time Mingjin withdrew his troops and Zhu Zhi returned to the water village. While Zhu Zhi was worried, he also summoned his subordinates Sima and the military waiter, and these top officers also lost a lot of people.

Zhu Zhi gathered the rest of the people, counted the dead and wounded, and took prisoners. When the army was dispatched, there were more than 20,000, and when they returned, only more than 10,000 remained, and some of them were prisoners.

Almost all of the Jiangdong soldiers were wounded.

Zhu Zhi was silent for a long time when he heard the situation, and then sighed: "If you fight for another half an hour, the two sides will really fight to the point of one soldier." ”

On the other side, Wang Wei and others returned to Shuizhai by boat, and they were also like Zhu Zhi, counting battle losses and taking prisoners. Wang Wei's side sent 27,800 troops.

When they came back, there were 14,500 people, and all of them were injured.

Wang Wei didn't know how much Zhu Zhi had lost in battle, but he also guessed that his own casualties might be larger.

But contrary to Zhu Zhi's worries, Wang Wei and the others were not discouraged, but their morale was high. Liao Hua went down to recuperate because of his injury.

Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, and Ding were ordered to lead their own deputies to repair, and the three of them entered Wang Wei's tent together, drinking and eating together.

Although the water war did not gain the upper hand, it also hurt Zhu Zhi. There are no more Jiangdong sailors in this area, so we took the opportunity to transport a little grain to the south bank to Jiang Changshi. By the way, have they crossed the river now Jiang Changshi? ”

While eating and drinking, Wang Wei remembered this matter, so he called a left-behind soldier and asked.

"General Hui, when the generals were fighting with Zhu Zhishui. According to the plan, Deng Sima led 5,000 elite soldiers to land first, and Zhu Ran in Xiling City did not choose to attack half-crossing, but held on. So Deng Sima first established a camp, and then Jiang Changshi led Chen Lan, Lei Xu and other armies, and they also landed. ”

The left-behind soldier replied.

"Select the unwounded soldiers and carry the food. Take the opportunity to transport some food over. If Zhu Zhi recovers and wants to transport grain to the south bank, it will be difficult. Wang Wei nodded and commanded.

"No." So the soldier who stayed behind went down to find someone.

And Wang Wei was quite excited, raised his glass and said, "Happy." I have been guarding Jingzhou for many years, and I have long wanted to fight with the Jiangdong people. This time, although both sides lost and did not take advantage, it was really happy, come and come, and have a drink. ”

"Hahahaha." Huang Zhong laughed, quite sympathetic, he has been guarding Jingzhou for many years, but he has never been so happy.

The three of them drank the wine.

The outcome of the water war was a lose-lose situation, but the impact was also far-reaching.

Zhu Zhi led his troops back to Shuizhai to repair, and all the soldiers were injured, and they didn't slow down for a month. And when the infantry crossed the river, what they were most afraid of was that the food would not be able to keep up.

If the Jiangdong naval army was enough, Jiang Wan would not dare to cross the river. If a person passes, food will not come. Jiangdong people crisscross the Yangtze River and cut off the grain road, haven't they become turtles in the urn?

Therefore, Jiang Wan's strategy was to occupy Shunshan City first and collect a little grain.

Now Zhu Zhi's army is crippled, and Wang Wei's army is also crippled. Wang Wei can take the opportunity to transport some grain over. And at this moment, his own infantry army has come ashore.

More than 22,000 people.

You can storm Zhu Ran, if you capture Xiling City, then it will be a lot of fun. If it can't be attacked, then it can only wait for Shanyue to rebel, which turns the situation upside down.

With the strength of the Guan family, it is already very good to fight with Sun Quan like this. Sun Quan had as many as 140,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom were elite soldiers except for the Changsha soldiers recruited by He Qi in Changsha.

Only when Yamakoshi enters can the winner be decided.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, the north ferry port of Xiling City. As Wang Wei knew, Jiang Wan, Chen Lan, Lei Xu, and Deng Fang had already landed on the shore.

Deng Fang is still reinforcing and strengthening the camp. When the camp is built, this place is only a few miles away from Xiling City. You can also directly rely on the big camp and storm Xiling City.

And Jiang Wan is not among them.

His troops are all recruits, and they can't beat Xiling City. According to the plan, Jiang Wan led his troops to take Shunshan City, a small county town, and then used it as a stronghold to raise food by the way.

And at this moment, the results of the battle on Wang Wei's side also reached the ears of Jiang Wan and others.

In the big tent, Jiang Wan sat on the northern throne, Chen Lan, Deng Fang, and Lei Xu sat below, and the three generals sat on small stools because they were wearing armor.

Jiang Wan heard the news and said with a smile: "In the face of Zhu Zhijiang's eastern naval army, General Wang can match the victory or defeat, and he is a real general." Then Jiang Wan got up and said, "I'm going to Shunshan City here." The three generals rested for a while, and after lunch, they led their troops to attack Xiling City. If Xiling City can be breached, the situation will be great. ”

"No."

The three generals agreed with a bang.

Then Jiang Wan turned over and led more than 5,000 people from his headquarters to take Shunshan City, a small city west of Xiling City. And Chen Lan, Lei Xu, and Deng Fang, the three generals, also followed the order, and after lunch, they led their troops to attack Xiling City.

This time, it is no longer about cowering, but about attacking and fighting a tough battle.

But it is not easy to conquer Xiling City.

The city of Xiling is the old nest of Huang Zu, who has been operating here for many years. The walls were tall and strong. Zhou Yu invaded Xiling City back then, but it also took a lot of effort.

After Xiling City fell into the hands of the Jiangdong people, many defenses were strengthened.

And the general who defended the city was called Zhu Ran, with more than 5,000 elite soldiers.

Zhu Zhi dispatched troops, Xiling City was the front line, and Echeng was the rear. Why did Zhu Zhi send Zhu Ran over? It is to believe in the power of the son.
