In the middle of June of the second year of the elephant, Wang Yi, the marshal of the South Road March, led the army south to attack the rebels in Anzhou, and the two armies fought a decisive battle outside the city of Changshou in Yingzhou, and the rebel army annihilated Wang Yi only to be spared, and the rebels pursued Wang Yi for a day and night and attacked Hannan City, Wuquan County, Xiangzhou the next day.

Wang Yi passed through the city and escaped back to Xiangyang City by luck, and then requisitioned the people to defend the city, and on the second day, he sent the Xiangyang Navy to the south along the Han River to burn the pontoon bridge, and the Anzhou Army was based on the Hannan City. On the afternoon of the third day, the main force of the Anzhou Army in the north arrived on the east bank of Hannan, and the Xiangyang Navy anchored in the upper reaches of the east bank and led Daocheng to the south from time to time to prevent the Anzhou Army from building pontoon bridges to cross the river.

On the Han River, several Xiangyang naval warships are going downstream, and the Anzhou Army is building a pontoon bridge at the site of the Hannan pontoon bridge six or seven miles downstream, and several long ropes across the river have been pulled, and there are wooden boats on the banks on the east and west sides that are lined up in the opposite direction along the long ropes.

"When I wait not to exist? Hey. The rugged Zhang Yu looked at the scene of building a pontoon bridge in the distance downstream in the warship, he was picked up from the river, followed by his adoptive father's surname Zhang, his adoptive father was an old pawn of the Xiangyang Navy, so Zhang Yu grew up on the boat since he was a child, and now he is a small soldier of the Xiangyang Navy.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait a while, it's almost away, let's put down a few fireboats and burn them down!" The team squinted into the distance and sneered, saying that there were several small boats tied to the warship they were on, and there were many flammable materials on them, waiting to light a fire and burn the new pontoon bridge downstream.

This is how they burned the old pontoon bridge three days ago, and now the archers sailing on both sides of the river center can't shoot it, so they will burn the bridge built by the Anzhou army, and then wait for the next new bridge to see who can consume whom.

However, Zhang Yu was a little confused, today's sentinel ship detected that the Anzhou army began to build a pontoon bridge, and there was no warship to protect it, so they didn't take their warship seriously?

Three days ago, the Xiangyang Navy set fire to the pontoon bridge and set fire to the boats, originally planning to sink all the fishing boats on the side of the nearby Han River, but they never thought that the Anzhou army would move very fast and drag the boats ashore and wait until the bridge was built today.

The army that went south to quell the rebellion was somehow defeated and defeated, and the marshal was left to run back with a few people, but with our Xiangyang Navy Division in the main force of the Anzhou Army, don't think about crossing the Han River!

The Xiangyang Navy has gone south with the imperial army several times and the bastards of the Southern Dynasty Navy have worked hard, and now those who can survive have become fine, and it is needless to say that the water is good.

The sentries on the top of the cabin who looked around found that the Anzhou army on the east bank of the river in front of them had opened many strange giant crossbows, which seemed to be preparing to shoot at their own side, but the general next to them did not think so:

"It's too far, about 300 meters."

The others also nodded: where have you heard that a strong crossbow can shoot so far?

As soon as the words broke through the air, a loud sound of sawdust scattered, piercing Zhang Yu's face, and everyone in the cabin came back to their senses to find a spear nailed to the west bulkhead through the chest of a non-commissioned sailor.

"What is this?" Everyone looked to the shore, only to see the other party lighting something in front of the giant crossbow with a torch, and then only heard someone shouting "Release!" Then there was a whistling sound, and many fires rushed towards his warship.

The loud noise sounded continuously, and the warship shook violently, Zhang Yu only felt that the smell of blood in the cabin was still a little burning after a flower, and he barely stood firm and touched himself to find that there was nothing missing.

The others were not so lucky, some of their comrades were pierced by spears, some had half of their heads poked off, some of their legs were missing, blood splattered all over the cabin, and the spears nailed to the bulkheads were still blazing, and black smoke was increasing.

"It's on fire!" Someone shouted in a panic, "Put out the fire!" ”

Zhang Yu was about to go to fetch water but saw that the team was lying crooked, and blood was dripping under his ribs, so he hurriedly rushed over to help him up: "Brother Li, what's wrong with you!" ”

Eight years ago, the governor of Xiangzhou, Weiguo Gongyuwen directly led the waterway army to the south and the Southern Dynasty fought fiercely on the Yangtze River, and the naval armies of both sides also entered the Yangtze River in the Han River.

In the broadside battle, his adoptive father was hacked to death, and the red-eyed Zhang Yu picked up a sharp knife and jumped over the southern army to play with his life, and after stabbing three people to death, he was also seriously injured and fell into the river.

Just when he sank to the bottom of the river, Brother Li, who was in the same boat, jumped into the water and dragged him up to pick up his life, and Zhang Yu, who became an orphan again, lived with Brother Li, who has now been promoted to the team.

"It's okay, it's a scratch under the ribs." The team was squeezing out a smile and said, but Zhang Yu saw that the injury was not as easy as he said.

The giant crossbow continuously fired rockets, igniting several Xiangyang naval warships in the center of the Han River, and the soldiers who had never seen such a sharp giant crossbow were dumbfounded, and found that the fire of their warship was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhang Yu and his team were jumping down the river to flee for their lives.

The east coast is full of mountains and fields, and the Anzhou army must not go, so it is better to go ashore on the west side? Zhang Yu is swimming westward with the team, he has grown up on the water since he was a child and has been fighting with the navy all year round.

On the east side of the Han River, the Anju soldiers waited on the shore with bows, arrows, and spears; On the west side of the Hanjiang River, the Anzhou Army in the city of Hannan sent cavalry to run along the river bank, and the soldiers of the Xiangyang Navy who fell into the water on both sides waited for the rabbits to come ashore.

Those who know each other can say that those who dare to resist are either stabbed through by a gun or shot into a hedgehog, Zhang Yu saw that the situation was not good in the middle of the river, so he simply led the team down the water, and some archers saw that they kept shooting arrows at them, but the distance was too far and the strength was scattered and fell into the water.

Zhang Yu took Team Li and was half-floating and half-diving, and actually floated down the river to cross the pontoon bridge being built, dodging the spear poked by the wooden boat next to him and drifting downstream.

"Brother Li, you have to hold on!" Zhang Yu panicked, he saw that his injuries were serious, he just wanted to go ashore and bandage quickly, and when he saw that there was no one on the east bank, he hurriedly led the team and swam towards the river.

Embarrassed, stepping on the mud ground, Zhang Yu helped the team to walk ashore, this is a dirt slope, they were just about to walk up to the top of the slope, and they bumped into the two of them walking up on the other side.

It seems to be a master and a servant, both fifteen or sixteen years old, the former one is well-dressed and should be the master, he has a straw in his mouth and a fishing rod in his hand, and the sharp-beaked monkey behind him carries a wooden barrel and knows at a glance that he is not a good person.

Suddenly, both sides were stunned, and Zhang Yu saw the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks wearing a military robe and immediately showed a fierce light: The east bank is the territory of the Anzhou army, and these two are the Anzhou rebels!

said that it was too late, when Zhang Yu suddenly jumped on the cat's waist and was about to pounce forward, he decided to strike first, cut the first blind eye for the strong pounce, and then fight with the second person.

"Ahh The brightly dressed man in front of him was not slow to react, he screamed and suddenly punched Zhang Yu backwards and rolled downhill, and the team with no one to support him was slumping to the ground.

"Woo!" Zhang Yu climbed up three or two steps and ran uphill, he clenched his fists and was about to fight hard, but he saw more than ten people walking behind the two people, all of whom were wearing military robes.

Zhang Yu howled and rushed to the sharp-beaked monkey cheek closest to him, but the man kicked him but he grabbed him and pulled him downhill.

"Traitor, I'm fighting with you!"

Seeing that several people on the other side bent down and touched the team, Zhang Yu's pupils shrank, and then his eyes turned red and hit those people, but he was pressed to the ground in a few moments, and when he saw someone draw a knife out, he shouted desperately:

"Let him live, kill me, kill me!"

The person who drew the knife was the brightly dressed Lang Jun, I saw him squatting down and holding a long knife at the team, Zhang Yu struggled desperately: "Don't stab, I'm willing to be a cow and a horse!" ”

That Lang Jun used a knife to pick off the team's clothes, only to see him pull out a bloody slender piece of wood from under the team's ribs a few times, and said to the people around him: "You guys hurry up and help him bandage it." ”

Zhang Yu looked at the other party's rescue team in a daze, and the two of them held him hostage to get up, and at this moment, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks that he had just ripped down the slope rushed over covered in mud.

"Let him go!" The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks shouted viciously, and the two looked at Lang Jun and let go when they saw him nodding, and the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks untied the saber and threw it aside, "Come and have a good time!" Just with your bare hands, don't say I'm a bully! ”

"Come on, come on!" The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks danced with his fists and provoked, Zhang Yu saw this, his blood rushed forward, he didn't run two steps, he ate a punch in his left face and was knocked to the ground, he suddenly got up and hit the man head-on, the two hugged each other and rolled down the bottom of the slope, each waving his fist and smashing it.

After fighting for a while, Zhang Yu was defeated, and he was ridden by the sharp-beaked monkey's gills, so he had to wave his fist with both hands to block the raindrops, and his nose was blue and his face was swollen and he was beaten like a pig's head.

"Enough, go back!" Yuwen Wen looked at the bottom of the slope and his eyelids jumped, where Yuwen fifteen was riding in the mud and riding on a rib essence that appeared inexplicably.

"Who else is that, you buddy really wants that if you don't find a medical officer for treatment!" He motioned for his men to lift the wounded man up, and then turned away with a grim face, and the rod was thrown aside and picked up by his men.

The soul is light, Lao Tzu can encounter broken things when he comes out to catch a fish!

Yuwen walked breathlessly, it would take at least half a day for the army to cross the river on a pontoon bridge today, and he was bored so he "stole half a day of leisure" and took his subordinates out to fish to relieve boredom.

The Xiangyang Navy warship with bad scenery in the upstream did not go, and specially went to the downstream clean river section to find a place to 'relax', and never thought that he would bump into these two plague gods as soon as he went uphill!

Don't stab it, if you want to stab it, you will also go home and 'stab' your wife, what are you doing to stab!

He kicked the stone in front of him away, and walked towards the camp in front of him, most of the Xiangyang naval warships on the river had been submerged, and the pontoon bridge had been completed about forty percent.

Bastard, a rib spirit pounced in front of me, and I don't know if I will have nightmares tonight.

The group returned to the Anzhou military camp on the east bank with a strange atmosphere, Yu Wenwen called the medical officer to toss and finally let the team stop the bleeding and pick up a life, and the 'rib essence' who was beaten into a pig's head knelt down with a plop when he saw this:

"Lang Jun, thank you for saving your life, the little one is willing to be a cow"

"Go, go, go, who is rare for you to be a cow and a horse!" Yu Wenwen waved his hand impatiently to interrupt him.

The soul is faint, you think you are a beautiful little lady who sold herself to bury her father!

He couldn't help but slander when he looked at the ribs, and then remembered something, so he said: "You guys are lucky to fall into the water and don't die, the manager will let people go back to pass the word, and when the boat is clocked, they will squeeze themselves and row back to Xiangyang!" ”

"The Anzhou army will be killed under Xiangyang City in a few days, and you tell the surnamed Wang to prepare his coffin!"

"The little cheap name Zhang Yu, I don't know Langjun's name, the little one is grateful!" 'Rib Essence' Zhang Yu couldn't help kowtowing, the person in front of him saved the team's life, that is, saved his life, and was a life-saving benefactor.

"Squidward? This father is Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, Brother Octopus wants to tie a little paper figure or what? Yuwenwen glanced at Zhang Yu, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, "Don't knock it, if you knock again, it will fall apart!" ”

The soldiers escorted Zhang Yu and the team out, Yuwen Fifteen was walking in with a few steamed buns, and when he saw Zhang Yu, who had a blue nose and swollen face, he sneered and stuffed the two steamed buns over: "Eat more, bastard, you still want to learn to fight?" ”

Zhang Yu looked at the steamed bun in his arms and suddenly lowered his head, silent, and didn't know what his expression was, they were taken to a heavily guarded tent and squatted with their companions who had fallen into the water and were captured, and it didn't take long for them to be caught up in a broken boat and rowed towards Xiangyang.

Excluding the interference of the Xiangyang naval army, the Anzhou army built the pontoon bridge in a single day, and the army crossed the river and entered Hannan City, and at the same time, the Anzhou army also broke through the city of Xiangdao in the upper reaches of the east bank, and the rest of the Xiangyang naval army anchored in the city was forced to go north and return to Xiangyang City.

The Anzhou army then led the garrison and placed three-bow bed crossbows on the Linjiang side in order to prevent the Xiangyang naval army from attacking south and protect the pontoon bridge downstream.

The next day, the army went north, because the main force of the Xiangzhou army had been wiped out in the decisive battle a few days ago, and now Wang Yi, who had fled back to Xiangyang, shrunk all his forces back to the city to defend it strictly, and the sporadic harassment of the rangers was also dispersed by the Anzhou cavalry, and there was no strength to stop the main force of the Anzhou army from attacking Xiangyang.

Hannan left men and horses to guard the city and protect the pontoon bridge to prevent the foot-picking men under the command of Liang Guo in the south from coming to copy the back road.

Liang is a subject of the Great Zhou, is the last descendants of the Southern Dynasty Liang to establish a country, 26 years ago the Western Wei captured the capital Jiangling killed the Liang Emperor and set up a puppet emperor, and later the Great Zhou replaced the Western Wei, Liang continued to be a subject of the Great Zhou.

Eight years ago, Emperor Xiao Yue of Liang sent an envoy to find the boss Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong to complain, and the eldest heard that the younger brother's family was in dire straits, and with a wave of his hand, Ji, Ping, and Yan were assigned to the Liang State.

The Anzhou army first captured Yingzhou Prefecture Zhishou and Liang State across the Han River, and the south of Hannan City, which was later captured, was the border of Liang State, so when the army attacked Xiangyang, it was completely exposed in front of Liang State and had to be defended.

The Great Zhou set up a Jiangling governor in the Liang State, one was to supervise the Liang State, and the other was to protect the Liang State from the attack of the Southern Dynasty, and the longer the attack on Xiangyang, the more hidden dangers.

Three days later, the main force of the Anzhou Army, carrying a large amount of baggage, arrived at the city of Xiangyang.
