In the south of Xiyang City, Bazhou Thorn Shi Yu Wenwen stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance, today the wind is light and the sun is shining, so the line of sight is very good, so the outline of Wuchang City on the other side of the Yangtze River is vaguely visible, this city makes him think day and night, tossing and turning.

At this time, Wuchang is the Ezhou of later generations, and Wuchang, one of the "three towns of Wuhan" in later generations, is now Xiakou City, Jiangxia County, Yingzhou, Chen Guo, more than 300 years ago, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wu Wang Sun Quan was at this time Yuwenwen opposite the city (then called Exian) called the emperor to build the capital, and named Wuchang after "Wuchang".

Wuchang north faces the river and the remaining three sides are surrounded by mountains and easy to defend and difficult to attack, Fankou in the west is equipped with Fan Shanshu, Yanji along the river in the east is equipped with a beacon tower, from Sun Quan to the end of Wu Emperor Sun Hao again with this, the Sun family runs Wuchang for 55 years, accounting for three-quarters of the time of the founding of Eastern Wu.

Wuchang on the south bank and Xiyang on the north bank face each other across the river, originally each other's horns, guarding the Yangtze River waterway, now the north bank has been owned by the Zhou State, and the Jiangnan Chen State across the river confront, Wuchang and Xiyang are on guard against each other, one to prevent the other from eating themselves, and the other is to ponder and eat each other.

There are only a few people following Yu Wenwen at the head of the city, and the few 'minions' that are common on weekdays are now gone, and the figures of the few people in the morning sun look particularly bleak.

The clairvoyant mirror used to improve the style on weekdays is no longer in his hand, Yuwen Wen is dressed in civilian clothes, like a literati standing at the head of the city, shaking his head to make a good sentence for the ages, but he is helpless to play the piano with the cow.

"Lord Lang, if these fish are not cooked, they will have to be turned over, and they will not be fresh by then." Zhang Yu said on the side.

Yu Wenwen has a wooden bucket next to him, which is raised with water, this fish has a peculiar appearance, and the bream produced in Fankou is also known as Wuchang fish, he looked at the fish and smiled and said, "Let it go." The official wants to eat. The opposite one. ”

As soon as the words fell. On the east side of Wuchang City, on the opposite side of the river, the beacon smoke rose, and soon after, there was also a pillar of beacon smoke rising into the sky, like a relay along the river to the east.

Yanji is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and across the river from it is the Bakou in the north of the river, and now the dense warships on the river outside Bakou rush to the south bank of the river, which is the Bazhou Navy that has been prepared for a long time, and it is loaded with the soldiers of the Hulin Army who want to cross the river to fight.

"The topography of Wuchang City has been memorized, how the city should be renovated has also been finalized, the mansions in the city have also been selected, and Wuchang fish has also come up with several practices. Whether it is success or failure depends on whether you win the lottery today! ”……

On the river, in the warships of the Bazhou Navy Army, the soldiers were wearing two armors, iron helmets, and weapons in the middle, motionless, flanked by oarsmen in civilian clothes who were paddling hard under the captain's orders, and with the sound of orders, the soldiers raised their heads and looked around excitedly.

The front and rear are their own warships, the middle of the hull is narrow and long, there are soldiers sitting in the middle of the cabin, and the oarsmen on both sides of the boat are stretched out densely rowing the water in a neat row, and the boats are like centipedes floating in the water and rushing forward, and the bow of the ship smashes the big waves and points directly to Wuchang City.

Some of the warships were full of soldiers, while others were carrying war horses. Because of the headwind, all the warships collected their sails and moved forward completely by rowing, and Bakou was downstream of Wuchang, so the warships were all going against the current.

Zhang Xutuo sat in the cabin with his whole body draped. Holding the spear tightly in his hand and looking at the south bank in front of him, the blood was boiling, this was his first time in battle, and it was a large-scale battle when he first entered the battlefield.

He participated in the Hulin Army formed by Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, which is the army that he dreamed of wanting to join, and he thought that he had no hope, but this year after he was moved to Xiyang City with his father, the opportunity came.

The Hulin Army recruits, can endure hardships, be honest and obedient, and be in good health is preferred, and he is familiar with these and is literate, so he passed the 'interview' and successfully entered the camp, and his father was arranged to work in the state government, and he originally did not support him to be a soldier, but in the end he couldn't do it.

The intensity of training for three days and one day off was indeed difficult, but fortunately, he had three meals a day, and he ate well, meat (mostly fish) and salt at every meal, and he and the other 2,000 recruits had been trained to scream in the past few months, but they all survived.

No longer afraid of cavalry impact, arms and legs are thicker than before entering the camp, although the skin is much tanned, but the strength is also much greater, wearing two armor, carrying dry food, carrying a waist knife, cross-country running is not a problem, when returning to the city to visit family during the holiday, they all say that they are stronger, and they seem to be taller.

"In a little while, we can fight!" Zhang Xutuo muttered to himself, they had practiced crossing the river many times before, and although they were in the lake, it was not much more than a bit more than a bit of wind and waves.

He couldn't swim, but he was forced to learn, and from time to time he was caught on the boat to 'shake and shake', and now he is not seasick, not only him, but all the soldiers of the Tiger Forest Army are like this, although they are not as good as the loaches of the water army, but at least they are not seasick and not afraid of water.

"Oops! I said that you two are like stupid quails shrinking their heads one by one, and you are scared?!! "Shi Chang shouted loudly, he is a veteran who has been promoted, and he has been considered an 'old qualification' after many battles in the Tiger Forest Army.

"Cowardice!! I'm afraid not to give a word!! ”

"Don't be afraid !!" The soldiers shouted in unison, they knew that Shi Chang was doing pre-war mobilization, so they replied very seriously, the first real battle was of course tense, but everyone has the first time, isn't it?

"Killing people is no different from killing pigs, and there is no difference between stabbing a person with a spear and stabbing a pig! The blood, all red, the shouts, all desolate, all indistinguishable!! ”

The training treatment of recruits is better than that of veterans, because they can see blood during training, and they really see blood, although they only stab live pigs with spears, but it also makes many people scramble, especially those who howl and rush at them.

I don't know where Shangguan got so many live pigs, fat and big, with a fire on his tail and howling and running away, Zhang Xutuo finally saw what a wolf is running and rushing, at first they were out of the gun, but they didn't expect to rush in to a group of live pigs, all of them were hit with blue noses and swollen faces, arched to the ground, and then scolded so bloody that they were scolded, and after a few practices, they were adapted.

"Just say that anyone will, look, look, the river bank is in front of you, don't get off the boat with your legs limp into the water!!"

"If the weapons are firmly grasped, you can make meritorious service by killing the enemy, and if you make meritorious service, you can divide the fields, land, and women! ! ! How the family is doing depends on today!! ”……

The east gate of Wuchang City, the blood flowed like a river, this morning just opened the city gate soon after it was attacked by a group of killing gods, the soldiers guarding the gate suffered heavy losses, Wuchang Taishou personally led the troops to save but was guarded by the group of people who could not recapture the city gate.

"Ming Mansion! Yanji released beacon smoke, it was the Zhou army on the north bank who crossed the river!! A subordinate general hurried over and shouted. Wuchang Taishou Fan Liang's face tightened when he heard this, and he immediately sent someone to release the beacon smoke.

The beacon smoke in the city will also release the beacon smoke to the west of Yongxing and Xiakou to relay it, and the Wuchang naval warships in Fankou at the western foot of Fanshan will rush into the Yangtze River to intercept the incoming enemy warships when they see the beacon smoke, and the war will begin.

This is a bloody battle that will come sooner or later, since the Chinese New Year's Eve King Shixing led his army to attack Xiyang in the north after the fiasco defeat of the other party, Fan Liang has been worried for months and finally ushered in this time.

That Zhou State's Bazhou Thorn Shi Yu Wenwen had bad intentions, he knew that the other party trained soldiers, reorganized armaments, built warships, and trained sailors, so he had already prepared under the instructions of Yingzhou Thorn Shi.

Even the delay in retaking the East Gate after the attack was also intentional on his part.

Jiangbei has ill intentions, but Chen Guo preemptively attacked Xiyang, it was impossible, first, the troops were insufficient, the chances of victory were not great, and second, the imperial court did not allow it, the first emperor died, and the new emperor ascended the throne, and no one could provoke at this time.

But the other party takes the initiative to attack, it is different, as a state assassin Shi and a county are too guarded, it is naturally the responsibility to defend the territory, if the enemy army comes, not only can not avoid the battle, but also have to come to a head-on attack, only if the other party hurts, will honestly retract back and confront the other river.

There has never been a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, since this ill-intentioned thief is coming, then it is just a hundred, the other party has 'taken' the east gate, and as long as the east gate is still under its 'control', there will naturally be follow-up soldiers desperately crossing the river in order to take the city.

Yanji only has a beacon tower, no naval warships are moored, and beacon smoke has been released, so the target of the Zhou army after landing must be Wuchang City, and when thousands of soldiers cross the river, then it is delusional to want to go back, and the sailors stationed in Fanhu Lake in the upper reaches of Fankou are not able to compete with those newly built sailors in Bazhou.

And the east gate of Wuchang can not attack the city too deep even if the other party is lost, Fan Liang's task is to lead the army to hold Wuchang City, so that most of the Zhou army can not enter the city, and the Yongxing garrison in the west and the reinforcements in Xiakou and Yangxin in the east will soon come to the left and right to encircle this group of unlucky ghosts, and then the other party will either die or surrender There is no third choice.

"Ming Mansion! News came from the watchtower that a large number of Zhou troops had landed on the shore, with more than 1,000 people!! ”

"Okay, let the naval warship dispatch immediately!!" Fan Liang began to give orders, the opponent's soldiers landed, then the next step can begin, in addition to the east gate, the south gate, the west gate, and the north gate, he has already blocked the door to prevent the other party from opening the door.

Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwen Wen set a trap in Xiyang City on Chinese New Year's Eve to let Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing of Da Chen, succeed in drilling, and Fan Liang is now also setting a trap in Wuchang under the instructions of Shangguan to return a tooth for a tooth, originally thought that the other party would not do it until after the autumn harvest, and the result is now coming.

It's the same when you come, the landing troops are sucked in Wuchang City, and the river is the world of your own sailors, and if you want to escape the river, there is no way, if the Zhou army wants to do something in Fankou, so that the Chen army's warships can't get out, it is a pipe dream.

Come on, come on, the blood flow will stop when you hit your head, Fan Liang just thought that through today's big battle, Wuchang will be safe and secure this year, and the Bazhou assassin who is not willing to be lonely will suffer heavy casualties, even if he wants to organize the army to commit south, it will have to be next year.

"Yuwen Wen, if you don't know whether you live or die and personally lead the troops to attack, then don't blame this official for also coming to a 'decisive battle at the top of Wuchang'!" (To be continued.) )
