A strong battalion traverses the entire valley, sealing the waterway of the Shuiyang River to death, countless flags fluttering above the camp, the highest place in the camp, a big flag with the word "Gan" is fluttering in the wind, Xu Sheng also realized that this army must be the Chaisang Sailor of the Ganning Department who disappeared from Jing County after seeing the "Gan" word flag!

Xu Sheng looked at the enemy water village in front of him, his brows gradually wrinkled, the Chaisang Sailor did not go to the Spring Valley area but cut off the waterway of the Shuiyang River, so that if his army wants to go to the Spring Valley Camp for support, he must first break through the camp of the Chaisang Shui Division, the enemy camp occupies a dangerous terrain, and his own strength is only 5,000 more than the Chaisang Sailor Division, this battle is not easy to fight!

Although Xu Sheng was brave, he did not dare to lead the three thousand sailors to attack the camp of the Chaisang Sailor Division, which occupied a favorable position, not to mention that Gan Ning was still stationed here, and Gan Ning, who could kill Jiang Qin, was not something he could easily provoke, Xu Sheng glanced at the Chaisang Sailor Battalion again, waved his hand and ordered without any love: "Retreat five miles, and wait for General Zhu to lead the army to arrive, and then make plans!" ”

Gan Ning stood in the camp, looked at the Jiangdong Sailor who was slowly retreating, smiled disdainfully, and said: "The Jiangdong Sailor is nothing more than that, let the sons and daughters cheer up, be careful of the Jiangdong Sailor raid!" ”

"No!"

The vanguard of the Jiangdong Naval Division slowly retreated, and the Chaisang Naval Division of Ganning's subordinate was also ready to face the battle, and the atmosphere in this area also seemed a little dignified.

……

Zhu Zhi led the main army all the way forward, and fell ten miles behind Xu Sheng's vanguard to be on guard, if there was an accident in the vanguard army, Zhu Zhi could also go to support at any time.

The Jiangdong Naval Division went down the river quickly, and there were no accidents along the way, which also made Zhu Zhi's mood a little relieved!!

Just when Zhu Zhiluo was interested, a former military sentinel ship suddenly came to report: "There is a soldier and horse in front who has cut off the waterway of the Yangtze River with the help of the terrain, it is suspected that it is the Chaisang Naval Division of Gan Ning's department, Xu Sheng cannot break the enemy, please ask him to speed the army to support." ”

When Zhu Zhi heard this, he immediately felt anxious, although he despised Sun Quan a little, but this did not mean that he was unwilling to keep the land of Jiangdong.

Zhu Zhi began to follow Sun Jian's southern expedition to the north in his early years and made countless contributions, and later followed Sun Ce all the way to pacify Jiangdong and made great achievements again, Zhu Zhi's status in Jiangdong is that the veteran meritorious hero of the third general, if he leaves Jiangdong, he Zhu Zhi is nothing!

Even if he surrendered to Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao would not be able to give him his current status, Zhu Zhi, as a vested interest, naturally wanted to keep the land of Jiangdong, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have pulled out all his soldiers and horses to rescue the Spring Valley camp.

If the Spring Valley Camp is lost, then Yuan Yao's army will have no worries, and it will definitely sweep the land of Jiangdong in the shortest possible time.

Now that the Chaisang Sailor has cut off the waterway of the Shuiyang River, this is tantamount to choking the vitality of the Spring Valley Camp, how can Zhu Zhi not be in a hurry?

"Speed up the march and go to join the front army at once, I want to see if the Chaisang Sailor can stop the footsteps of my army!!"

Zhu Zhi gave an order, the Jiangdong Naval Division immediately sped up, and the mighty fleet went straight to the Ganning camp, two quarters of an hour later, the main force of the army led by Zhu Zhi finally met with Xu Sheng's army, Zhu Zhi saw Xu Sheng coming to greet him, and asked urgently: "What is the situation ahead, may break through the enemy to intercept?" ”

Xu Sheng bowed his hand slightly, frowned and replied: "General Hui, the narrow part of the waterway ahead is only more than ten zhang wide, and the enemy army blocked the waterway with several heavy iron cables, and built a strong camp on both sides of the valley. ”

Zhu Zhi replied expressionlessly: "Continue to march, first go and check the enemy camp." ”

The two armies combined their forces in one place, continued to rush towards the camp of the Chaisang Sailor, and soon came to the front of the valley, Zhu Zhi stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the camp of the Chaisang Sailor Division from afar, only to see that the Chaisang Sailor Division was stationed on the high ground of the valley on both sides of the Shuiyang River, and the wall was full of soldiers on duty of the Chaisang Sailor Division, and the guard was very strict.

This valley seems to be a gourd mouth in general, the narrowest part of the waterway is only more than ten zhang wide, only one building boat can be passed at a time, several heavy iron chains traverse the waterway, Jiangdong sailors must cut all these iron chains if they want to pass through this place, the cliffs on both sides of the valley are also full of people, I don't know how many soldiers and horses lurk, as long as the Jiangdong sailors dare to enter the valley, they will inevitably suffer from the attack of the cliffs on both sides.

And this is just an ambush on the surface, although the Shuiyang River is also named after the river, but he is not a big river like the Yangtze River, at best it is just a big river, the water depth and flow are far inferior to the Yangtze River waterway, since the Chaisang sailors have been prepared in advance, who knows if they have sunk into the boulders or big ships in the waterway, if the Chaisang sailors have blocked the waterway, then if the Jiangdong sailors dare to enter the waterway, they will suffer the blow of the name.

Although Zhu Zhi claimed to be a general, but after he saw this waterway, he was also a little melancholy in his heart, and when he went to Wanling City to pass by, he just felt that this place was a little narrow, which was not conducive to marching, but who would have thought that the Chaisang Sailor would use this waterway to intercept his army?

The Spring Valley Camp is a matter of Jiangdong's survival, and now, I can only take a risk!

After Zhu Zhi made up his mind, he looked at Xu Sheng and said, "The Spring Valley camp is related to my great cause in Jiangdong, and we must pass through here as soon as possible, but the narrow waterway ahead is not conducive to the advance of the army, so I bothered the general to lead a light army to test the situation of the waterway?" ”

Although Zhu Zhi looked like he was asking Xu Sheng, how could Xu Sheng dare to refuse Zhu Zhi's military order?

"No, the last general will take the order!"

Zhu Zhi asked Xu Sheng to explore the way, but there was no way, and he didn't have the intention of letting Xu Sheng go to death, he thought about it and then ordered: "In this way, the general will lead thirty small boats and three medium-sized warships to explore the waterway ahead, if it is too dangerous, the general can withdraw the army by himself!" ”。

After hearing this, Xu Sheng's heart eased a little, and said, "No, the last general will lead the army to investigate!" ”

After Xu Sheng bid farewell to Zhu Zhi, he ordered thirty small ships and three medium-sized warships from the front army, and after the ships lined up, more than thirty warships went straight to the valley in front.
