The smoke that Heifu and Feng Wuxue both saw was a building ship that had been ignited after being attacked by the waterside of Jiangling......

Jiangling City has many civil wharves along the river, but only the largest wharf is exclusive to the official, located in the southeast of the city, called "Zhu Palace", which was originally the waterside palace built by King Chu Cheng, specially for the boat of King Chu to dock, and later became a military port, and Jiangling Boat Division was anchored here.

In the past, the boats of the boats often cruised between Jiangling (present-day Jingzhou City, Hubei) and Chán Ling County (present-day Gong'an County, Hubei) to prevent Jiangnan rebels. But in recent days, the morning has been foggy, and the cruise has been changed to the afternoon, and the ships stay in the harbor, and the soldiers are nervously discussing the battle outside the city—the Jiangling garrison has been transferred to defend General Feng's flank, and they will have to defend the city.

Just when the river fog was about to disappear, a fleet of ships came against the current and suddenly launched an attack on Nagisa Palace!

They did not have tall warships, but they were maneuverable, and they did not compete with the ships on the water, but rushed directly to the riverbank, and the ships were full of soldiers with swords and rushed outwards to attack the docks by land......

There were not many people left behind in the docks, and now they were raided, and after only resisting for a while, the docks had changed hands!

"Pick up Captain Han to land!"

The first to bring people up was Licang, there were many Jiangling people among the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army under his command, and when he returned here, it was like returning home to fight, and he was far more familiar with the streets and alleys of Lilu than the Qin soldiers from Guanzhong.

"When you take Jiangling City, you can go to besiege Feng Wu with the prince!"

Things have to start from half a month ago: although Heifu decided the strategy of "attacking the east and attacking the west" and wanted to take Huarong Dao to attack Jiangling, but after all, his main force was not there, it would be good if Feng did not choose to be fooled, if the plan was detected, Lao Feng rushed back to Jiangling first, but he was not far away and threw himself into the net.

Hefu has always taken one step at a time and looked at three steps, so he also developed a secondary plan to be on the safe side.

Just two days before the army set off from Wulin, Heifu happened to receive good news from Linxiang!

Han Xin and Xiao Tao were supported by Chen Ying's department, with a combined army of nearly 30,000 people, and used Xiao He's strategy to attack the heart, and the southern expeditionary army dug ditches and flooded the city. Under this threat, in order to keep their homeland, the Linxiang people jumped back, opened a city gate to welcome the southern expeditionary army to enter, the city was broken, thousands of Qin soldiers were captured in their sleep, and Li You was captured!

After the defeat of Linxiang in late February, General Li only defended for half a month before he was captured alive by Han Xin, a "nobody" in his mouth.

Heifu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he didn't plan to let Han Xin and them rest, so he immediately ordered the Lingqu Boat Master to respond, and asked Han Xin and Li Cang to bring 10,000 soldiers to collect more than 80 clippers from Changsha County, board the ship from Linxiang and take the waterway, and on the first day of April, they will be in Jiangling!

From the mouth of Dongting Lake to Gangneung, even if it is a swing against the current, the waterway takes less time than the overland trail.

In this way, if everything goes well, it will be regarded as an ordinary meeting, and if things do not go well, they can be horns for each other, and they will not be destroyed alone.

Heff also named the operation:

"Crossing the river in white!"

……

"Aren't we going to wear the first emperor of Qin? Naturally, it is white. ”

After receiving Heifu's order, Han Xin and Li Cang were not surprised, so they ordered the soldiers to play plain flags and wrap white scarves as a symbol, and Han Xin was more obedient and wore plain white.

Heifu's military action of "Four Crossing Cloud Dreams" is dazzling, but it all responds to the sentence in the Art of War, "avoid the real and make the false", and even Han Xin can't find a big fault.

"It's just too risky, it seems to be interlocking, but in fact, you lose all the games if you accidentally ......"

But Heifu has been invincible for more than a month, and has created several miracles in a row, and Han Xin can only swallow this idea back into his stomach.

Han Xin and Li Cang led Cai to win two great victories in Changsha, and the army with high morale went retrograde along the river, and yesterday went to Xiaoling and captured the mouth of the Youjiang River. He also sent people to get in touch with Heifu in Jinxiang, who was stationed in Jinxiang, and took advantage of the fog this morning to cross the river and raid Gangneung City.

Han Xin had made a name for himself in the Battle of Xingle Shui, and now no one questioned his orders, and as soon as he came ashore, he ordered:

"Abandon the long spear, use more swords and other short soldiers, and seize the granary first!"

In the battle to capture the city, the battlefield is mostly in the streets and alleys, which is very complicated, and the general phalanx is useless, but it is more advantageous to fight in close combat. Gangneung is a big city with many strategic goals, and if there is no trade-off, it will definitely fall into chaos, and which must be arranged properly.

In Han Xin's view, the army will die if there is no food, and what the Southern Expeditionary Army lacks most now is food.

Jiangnan was already very poorly developed, and when the Southern Expeditionary Army fought in Lingnan, it had to rely on the grain of Jiangling Cangyu to transport Bashu and Jianghan to replenish it. Now that the source is broken, it is quite tight, especially the tens of thousands of Anlu people rescued by Heifu, who will start drinking porridge if they don't transport food over.

Jiangling Cangtun grain is one million stones, enough for 100,000 people to eat for a year, and it must be taken completely and neatly, and no more people can be burned!

Therefore, after Han Xin gained a firm foothold at the dock, he marched to Cangyu with the main force, and the rest of the people divided the arsenal, the county government and other places.

Tens of thousands of people in the city had already heard that Marquis Wu Zhong and Marquis Wu Xin were outside the city, and for a while people were panicked and rumored, and after being attacked, they became even more chaotic.

The battle broke out between the Southern Expeditionary Army and the county soldiers who rushed to hear the news in Lilu, and the sound of weapons clashing constantly sounded in the west of the city, and the people on the street were shocked when they saw a few puffs of black smoke rising from the wharf, knowing that the city was about to become a battlefield, and they ran to their homes one after another.

All of a sudden, the dogs barked, the chickens and horses neighed, the babies cried, the women screamed, the men shouted, and the whole city was in chaos......

Seeing that the living beings were about to be destroyed, while continuing to advance towards Cangyu, Han Xin did not forget to let the local soldiers shout loudly in dialect:

"Don't panic, Brother Kun, the father and brother of Jiangling, it's the children of Jiangling who went to the south to defend are back!"

"The southern expeditionary army is coming, don't be afraid, folks!"

"Marquis Wu Zhong has an order, if there is a person who kills a person in vain and takes a thing from the people, he will be dealt with according to military law, and the people should stay at home and close the house!"

In this way, it made the people of Jiangling feel a lot more at ease, Marquis Wu Zhong had been an official in Jiangling, and he was still the son-in-law of Ye Teng, the former county guard, and he led many children to march south, and the people did not believe that this prince, who was extremely friendly with the county, would be unfavorable to Jiangling.

As a result, in addition to most of the people who closed their doors and waited for the turmoil to end, many people in the city also broke out shouting and shouting, and some Jiangling people with swords rushed out to assist the Southern Expeditionary Army to defeat the stubborn Changwu Marquis outside the Jiangling Warehouse.

After Han Xin successfully took the heavily guarded Gangneung Cang, a man with a long beard and a yellow face was led to Han Xin.

This person was a little surprised by the youth of this "Han Duwei", but he still said respectfully:

"Han Duwei, my name is Man, I am Cao Peng, a soldier in Jiangling County, and I am also a former colleague and friend of Marquis Wuzhong. I saw that the situation was not right, and hid in a friend's house, and today when I heard that the Southern Expeditionary Army had returned to the division, I raised an incident with the clan and township party to welcome the righteous army! ”

Han Xin bowed his head, but he didn't get off his horse to greet him, let alone return the salute, but said casually: "Thank you to the righteous man, the captain of Bendu will also go to the aid of the prince, and I hope that the righteous man will recruit people with lofty ideals in the city to attack the county government with Lisima." ”

At this time, the granary, the arsenal, the four gates, the water gate, and the more important places in the city have all been captured by the Southern Expeditionary Army, leaving only the Marquis of Changwu Gongzi Cheng and the Nanjun Shou with more than 1,000 people to retreat to the county capital!

After Han Xin walked away, Man was a little unhappy: "This yellow-mouthed son is not as old as my son, and he is so arrogant. I am obviously a soldier Cao Peng, but he is a righteous man, and he is rude to this point. ”

Full of small eyes, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became: "I met Marquis Wuzhong, and when he was living and dying together in Liyang, he was still playing with mud!" ”

……

Han Xin didn't know that he had inadvertently offended people.

He didn't care, handed over the remnants of the enemy in the city to Licang and Manchu, and arrived at the east gate of Gangneung with 5,000 people, climbed the city tower, put up a pergola in his hand, and squinted into the distance.

What did he see?

Jiangling, because of its close to the river, there is no high mountain next to it, all are Lingfu, so it is named, here within a radius of dozens of miles, the terrain is flat. From Jiangling to the east, in addition to the fertile fields connected by Qianmo, it is the beginning of summer, there are more fragrant grasses everywhere, flowers such as autumn orchid, chrysanthemum, Hui and Jiangli are in full bloom, and green herbs such as Quancao, shoot dry, and open the car are clustered......

But now, this flowering scene has been completely destroyed.

It was nearly noon, the sky was cloudless, the sun was getting stronger, and the two divisions were on the field: the drums in the east were loud, and the trumpets in the west were also continuous.

For a time, shouting to kill the boiling sky, as if in the ancient legend, the battle between Gonggong and Zhurong can make the heavenly pillar break and the earth will be destroyed!

Under the ruthless advance of the two armies, the green seedlings in the field were trampled and lodged by countless pairs of feet, and turned into a flat hard ground again.

The flowers all over the ground were run over by the wheels, scattered into mud, and the lush weeds were also stained with drops of blood under the brave confrontation of the soldiers, like flowers blooming again.

The magnificent Armageddon is also the battlefield of heroes and heroes!

The sound of shouting and killing came into his ears, and Han Xin's blood suddenly flowed:

"Jingzhou belongs, and the south is back, which will be decided by this battle."

"Such a big battle, Han Xin, how can you miss it?"
