What is really going with the flow, I'm afraid Cheng Feng can answer this question now.

It was almost winter, and the water was not only turbulent, but also very cold, and after half an hour of water, Cheng Feng felt that his limbs had lost sensation.

The hundreds of soldiers behind him should feel the same way he did.

They had been floating along the water for half an hour from upstream, and finally saw the shore with the help of the faint lights of Xiangyang City in the distance, and of course the huge outline of Xiangyang City, as well as several water gates that were obviously higher on the north side of the city wall.

Xiangyang is adjacent to the water to the north, so there is no land gate on the north side of the city gate, only three water gates connected and two corner towers in the northeast and northwest facing the land. Because the enemy mainly came from the north side, the defense on the side of the Water Gate was not strict, after all, if you want to attack the Water Gate, you need the support of the water division, but unfortunately Li Xinchen's water division is in the upper reaches of the river, and there is no way to turn into the water - of course, if Li Xinchen is willing, he can go to Jiangling, but it seems that Xiao Maha will not be willing.

And Li Xinchen's sailors were actually drawn from the Jingzhou sailors when they first entered Shu, although Wang Chang was loyal to Li Xinchen, but it does not mean that everyone else had similar ideas, so Li Xinchen naturally could not send the sailors to the battlefield at such a critical juncture, for this weak Bashu sailors, that is, bullying and bullying the enemies of Shangjiang, asking them to break through the blockade of the Jingzhou sailors, it is tantamount to a fantasy.

It is precisely for this reason that when Cao Xiaoda found that the Jingzhou Navy Division was evacuated, he decisively transferred the army that was originally stationed in the north of the city to the east and west, and in the face of Li Xinchen's onslaught at all costs, there are not enough troops to kill themselves, especially today's battle can show that Li Xinchen really has the ability to break through Xiangyang in a short period of time, if it is not for Cao Xiaoda to lead reinforcements to arrive in time, I am afraid that the Bashu army at the head of the city can further expand its position, and finally completely drive the enemy out of the city.

For the current defenders of Xiangyang, how to use all the troops to the blade is the most important. In this way, on the north gate, which is the most unlikely to become a battlefield, there are only more than a dozen soldiers left, plus those who patrol back and forth, together there are more than 100 people.

Compared to the hustle and bustle on the east and west walls, the walls on this side can only be described as quiet or even peaceful.

The bonfires that seem to go out at any time and the lazy soldiers all indicate the safety of this side. Even the patrolling soldiers walked briskly, knowing that there would be no danger in the darkness ahead.

It's just that they thought wrong, at this time, Cheng Feng floated towards the city gate little by little along the water, because they were afraid of alarming the enemies in the city, so they didn't even dare to paddle hard, and they could only adjust their posture when the water was in the wrong direction. In the dark, Cheng Feng couldn't see how many people were following him behind him, but he knew that even if there was only one person, he would have to complete this seemingly impossible task.

Cheng Feng took refuge in Li Xinchen when Li Xinchen first entered Shu, but he really developed after Li Xinchen went to Jiankang Mansion, Cheng Feng led 800 elites to follow behind Li Xinchen, and Ye represented the interests of all the generals in the entire Li Xinchen group, which can be regarded as eye-catching.

However, after Li Xinchen returned to Bashu, Dai Cai and others, who originally defected to Li Xinchen with Cheng Feng, have begun to be reused, and have even begun to lead the army as the main general of one party, and even Zheng Kaiyuan and others, who defected to Li Xinchen after a period of time, have also begun to become important generals with thousands of people, but Cheng Feng's command has only grown from 500 people to 800 now.

Although these 800 people are known to be not idle people, it is an eye-catching existence to be put into any army, if it were not for Li Xinchen's insistence, the heads of the various departments would definitely not release them so easily - in fact, it was because Li Xinchen directly detained these people after returning from Jiankang Mansion, and did not let them go back at all.

But 800 people are 800 people after all, no matter what kind of elite these 800 people are, and what kind of training they have undergone, at least after forming an army, they have not experienced a real battle, if you really want to talk about fighting, I am afraid that it is the time when Li Xinchen left Jiankang Mansion before, but that time did not actually break out of conflict, and the two sides still maintained the maximum restraint in the end.

Therefore, it can be said that this famous army has not shown its strength, they followed Li Xinchen all the way from Baidi City to Hanzhong, then to Dingjun Mountain, and finally to the city of Xiangyang, almost all the time on the march, there is no chance to make a move. Of course, this is not entirely to blame them, Li Xinchen's speed in front is too fast, causing Cheng Feng to only have the task of cleaning up the battlefield every time he leads his troops to the battlefield.

But this time the opportunity finally fell on their heads, thinking of the doubts and distrustful eyes cast by the previous troops, thinking of Li Xinchen's trust and entrustment, Cheng Feng did not dare to slack off, this battle is to prove himself, but also to prove that Li Xinchen's previous decision to cause so much criticism is correct, to prove that this army in Cheng Feng's hands, as long as it is used properly, can top thousands of troops.

The water gate had already appeared in front of him, and Cheng Feng slowly swam over, his body attached to the fence of the water gate. In order to block the ships from attacking the city, there is a fence every inch under the water gate, and the fence at the same interval of one inch can also block the entry of water spirits, but will not block the flow of water inside and outside the city, so as to avoid water interruptions in the city, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

At this time, Cheng Feng took out the saws pinned to his waist, these saws were specially built for today's operation, it can be said that Li Xinchen spared no expense in order to build these 800 people into an elite team, and the short knives, axes and saws they carried were specially built.

Now the workshop of Bashu has adopted the method of assembly line production in accordance with Li Xinchen's previous guidance, although there are still many deficiencies compared with later generations, and even can only be said to be based on the gourd to draw a scoop, but at least the quality and output of weapons can be guaranteed, compared with the previous nature is a lot better, compared to the upper is insufficient, more than the lower, people should also be content.

The advantage of assembly line production is that it can produce large quantities of uninterrupted production, but it also means that it is difficult to produce small batches of weapons as before, which does not mean that it can't, but the development and operation of new production lines require a lot of cost, and this cost will definitely fall on Li Xinchen's head in the end.
