Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

Fan Shui, Chen Guo's water army blocked in the waterway finally realized that something was wrong, there seemed to be smoke rising from Fankou in front, it was probably the Zhou army attacking, and if they didn't go over, I was afraid that it would be a little troublesome.

Yes, it's just trouble, Fankou doesn't mean that it can be captured by capturing, and the reinforcements from Yongxing will soon arrive, and the Zhou army who harassed the water village will not be able to resist and can only board the boat and return to the river.

But something went wrong on the side of the navy: someone deliberately sunk a ship to block the shipping lane.

While the fleet was moving, several warships suddenly sank rapidly, and these sunken ships were at the front of the fleet, just blocking the Fanshui channel so that the ships behind could not advance, so that the naval warships could not go down the river from Fankou to intercept the Zhou navy.

The shipwrecks are very large, so it is impossible to remove them in a hurry, and after tossing for a while, the general of the navy army ordered to retreat so as not to cause trouble, after all, it is easy to have accidents with so many boats crowded together on the Fanshui River.

However, the order was passed backwards for a long time, and the rear was not loosened, and the ships in front of them shouted backwards by the flags, and the relay order tossed for a while, only to know that the warships behind the palace sank a few more, blocking the channel, and the news came that the sailors and soldiers secretly said that it was not good.

The sailors on the shipwreck had gone ashore and disappeared in the chaos, and according to the news coming from behind, the sailors on the shipwreck at the end of the team also slipped away, so it was obviously premeditated.

They are the internal response of the Zhou army, the reason why this is to make the naval warships unable to enter the river, Fankou Water Village has a small number of warships, but it is not necessarily the opponent of the Zhou naval army, the other party resorted to this hand, at least to make the Wuchang naval army unable to enter the river, and the follow-up is very likely to set fire to the ship.

As the so-called fear of something, the rear end of the fleet suddenly lit up with fire and smoke, and at this time the southeast wind was blowing, so the fire at the stern (southern) end of the fleet ignited the warships huddled together one after another, and the fire gradually spread to the north.

Lu Xiulin's warship was located in the middle of the fleet, and he saw that the fire at the end of the team was a little bad, and he became anxious, and hurriedly organized the sailors to prepare long bamboo poles and other fire-extinguishing tools. The boat's buckets were full to prevent fire.

It was not good to leave the school, and before entering the Yangtze River, he was blocked in Fanshui and set on fire, and the situation did not look good.

"So that's what it does!" He scolded hatefully, originally Wuchang's naval warships were anchored in the Fankou Inner River, which was not far from the Yangtze River, but Taishou let most of the warships enter Fanhu Lake in order to prevent the Zhou army from crossing the river and setting fire to the ships.

The waterway between Fanhu Lake and Fankou into the river is not short, and in order to prevent people from setting up obstacles on the waterway, watchtowers are specially set up along the way for the villagers to assist in guarding. I didn't want to prevent it, but it was the water army that came out of the ghost.

Even if the Wuchang Navy couldn't get out, the main force of the Navy on the Xiakou side could control the river as well as downstream, and Lu Xiulin just regretted that he didn't have the opportunity to drive a boat to kill the enemy to avenge it.

The situation on the Fankou side was getting more and more wrong, the warships were waiting to die here, and the morale of the soldiers began to become low from the initial high, and they began to panic when they saw the fire at the southern end of the fleet getting bigger and bigger.

Lu Xiulin was distracted when he heard the noise of the fleet, and looked up to see that a group of people had appeared on the shore, and before the sailors could figure out what was going on, they saw those people set fire to the arrows, although the soldiers on the ship were also shooting arrows and firing back, but the warship was blocked on the waterway and could not advance or retreat, and the other party still ignited the warship sporadically after firing a few rounds of rockets......

In Wuchang City, Fan Liang, who was too guarded, looked at the empty east gate and frowned. The Zhou army, which had previously defended the east gate, retreated after tearing down the gate, and the other party did not attack the city but sent people to keep an eye on the city gate.

A camp has been erected on the side of the official road outside the east gate, and the scale is still expanding, and a trestle bridge has been erected on the river to the north, and large ships have begun to approach and unload things.

"Ming Mansion, what are they trying to do? Isn't there a hurry to attack the city? One of the generals asked, "If it's not a siege, what are they going to do across the river?" ”

Fan Liang has more information than his subordinates, so now he always feels that something is wrong, the other party seems to have seen through his deliberate weakness at the east gate, so he did not take the bait, and the camp outside the east gate seems to be preparing for a long-term siege.

Many of the warships that had docked before were carrying soldiers from the shore and heading upstream, apparently heading to Fankou, and then the news came from the defenders of Fankou that they were besieged by the enemy, and the naval warships were blocked from getting out of the Fanshui River.

And then there was no more news.

The direction of Fankou is blocked by Fan Mountain and cannot be seen. Outside the city was the cavalry of the Zhou army, so their own sentry could not get too far from the city, and the sentry tower on the outskirts of the west of the city had been pulled out and could not deliver the news.

Fan Shanshu, the only one who can effectively communicate with the west, has not moved. It is said that this should be good news, but Fan Liang is always a little uneasy in his heart, Wuchang City Defense is now impregnable, and it is no problem if it is held up until reinforcements come, so it depends on when the reinforcements arrive.

Yongxing is not far from here, and the three thousand garrisons there will rush to reinforcements as soon as they receive the beacon fire from Fan Shanshu, and later there will be reinforcements from Xiakou and Yangxin in the east, this process Fan Liang knows very well in his heart, so he is quite calm at present.

It's okay if the navy can't enter the river, and it's really not okay for the navy from Xiakou to come over. As long as Wuchang is held, then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will definitely see reinforcements rushing to the city.

"Ming Mansion, is the east gate going to be blocked?"

Fan Liang pondered for a moment when he heard this, and ordered to send troops to block the east gate, since he failed to attract the other party in, then simply block the empty city gate so as not to make people uneasy, so that the Wuchang city gate is blocked, and the other party can only climb the city to attack, he is confident that it will be held for several days.

"Herald. Recruit young men to open their arsenals and distribute weapons, and the soldiers defending the city and the young men will be replaced in three shifts! ”

"The patrol patrols all over the city, and it is strictly forbidden for more than three people to travel together on the streets, and a curfew will be enforced tonight!"

After giving orders one after another, Fan Liang was a little relieved in his heart, it was useless to think too much about it now, after all, the key to retreating from the enemy was whether he could hold Wuchang City, and it didn't matter how many days the reinforcements came, if he couldn't hold it for a few days, it would be in vain for his careful arrangement.

With 3,000 defenders in the city plus the young and strong, this official wants you to break your teeth! ……

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, in the southern suburbs of Xiyang City, many warships braved the rapids and struggled to dock, and they had just returned from the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Except for the sailors, the ships were all freshly baked cargo - prisoners, these were the Yongxing garrison of Chen State, who were defeated and captured in an ambush on the way to Wuchang for reinforcements. I thought I would be thrown in that place, waiting for the war to know the end, but now the end is coming.

On the battlefield, they were tied up by the Zhou army and escorted to the river, they were surprised to see that many warships were parked there, no wonder these Zhou troops were able to set up an ambush in the middle of the road so unexpectedly, they were carried by the warships and rowed straight to Xiyang City in the north of the river.

Now that they have arrived in Xiyang City, no matter what the war is, their fate has been decided, and when they can return to Jiangnan, God knows, the soldiers of the Chen Army, who were originally frightened by the bloody battle, have 'returned to their senses' after a period of time, and now some people have the idea of running away again.

However, when they saw the situation on the shore, all their thoughts were put away: the archers of the Zhou army, who were waiting for battle, were looking at them with bad intentions, and there were several warships downstream waiting for any of them to jump into the water and escape.

Seeing that the other party was heavily guarded, the prisoners of Chen Jun had no intention of resisting, they honestly got off the boat and lined up to walk ashore under the scolding of Zhou Jun, but they were a little surprised by the scene they saw:

On the left side are a number of large wooden barrels, which appear to be cooking cakes. On the right, there were many wooden planks, and the wolf-like Zhou army waited for them to come on both sides, and a Chen soldier was brought to the pile of planks under the order of the escort soldiers.

"Don't panic, don't be afraid!!" A man with a big paper bullhorn shouted, "Take this flail first, and then fill your stomach with a hot cookcake!" ”

"Don't squeeze, everyone has a share, enough wooden flails, enough cooking cakes!!"

How did the Chen soldier know what was going on. First, he was flailed to the wooden shackle in a daze, and then came to the left to get a cooking cake, and hesitantly took a bite and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he devoured it.

No matter so much, you have to be a full ghost when you die!

He was eating a pancake when he was brought to a group of three people divided into ten groups, two of whom had knives and one of whom had pen and paper in front of them. In front of him, everyone smiled and played with a knife in front of him, asking who his name was, where he lived, what his position was in the army, etc., and the pen next to him listened to what he said on the paper.

"Na, everyone doesn't want to do this, little brother, you have two choices"

The man said with a smile on his skin, and said that the first thing was to hang it on the city tower to make air-dried bacon. When the soldiers of the Chen army heard this, they were so frightened that they almost couldn't hold the unfinished cooking cake in their hands, and when they saw the bright knife, he was so anxious that he shook his head vigorously and said that he would not choose this.

"That's coolies."

The soldier nodded vigorously, he felt that being a coolie would be a coolie, and he didn't think about where to go when he became a prisoner anyway. The other party said three choices: the first is to dig sand by the river, the second is to move bricks, and the third is to dig a ditch.

He thought about it, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled aside and pressed on his shoulder, and then he saw a bright big scissors leaning up, and with a click, he cut off the bun on his head, and before he could cry, he was brought to the foot of the east wall.

When he looked back, he saw that his comrades were all like himself, first put on a wooden flail, and then received a cooking cake, nibbled on it, and was asked questions, and after making a record, he was brought to the group of people for questioning, which was about the same as the question he was asked.

One after another, some people were brought to him, thinking that they also chose to dig sand, and some were divided into two other places, and it is estimated that they chose to move bricks and dig trenches. Zhou Jun seemed to be very well prepared for the handling of the captives, and a question came to his mind when he looked at the wooden flail, buckets of cooking cakes, the well-prepared interrogators, and the ten large scissors:

Could it be that they have been prepared for a long time and are waiting for us to be arrested and dealt with immediately?

They knew that we were going to rush from Yongxing to Wuchang, so they ambushed and captured the prisoners halfway, and then immediately took them to the north shore by the boat waiting by the river, where a group of people were already preparing cooking cakes and wooden flails, just to deal with us immediately?

How so!

On the city tower, Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwen Wenwen was quite satisfied with the work of settling the prisoners that was being carried out in an orderly manner below, but Changshi Ren Chong looked at this scene but was a little crying and laughing.

"Envoy. Why bother so much, just go straight to prison and pull it out to do things afterwards. ”

"Strike while the iron is hot, these people are now in shock, if they come back to their senses and are locked up together, maybe they will be in tandem and then they will be in trouble." After Yu Wenwen finished speaking, he looked at Xu Shao on the side and added with a smile: "How to use these laborers depends on Xu Beijia." ”

Xu Shao looked at the looming Wuchang City on the other side of the river and asked with some concern: "Envoy, the war in Jiangnan is tight, is the matter of digging a ditch to be released?" ”

"The battle is fought, the ditch is dug, the command of the battle is the responsibility of the officer, and Xu Bei will take care of these prisoners, and if you don't obey it, you will kill it, don't talk nonsense."

"As for the winner, it's up to the other side."
