Chapter 56: The Vanguard

A few days later, the Jingzhou sailors went down the river and went straight to Chaisang. The Jingzhou Navy crisscrosses the Yangtze River, known as the world's first water army, the warship covers the river, the black pressure is pressed, and the 200,000 army marches by land and water, which looks magnificent, and makes people shake and dare not be the enemy.

"General Wu'an, you come to defend the city, you just need to hold on! The others follow me to the water village. Gao Cheng sensed the hidden aura in the Jingzhou army on the head of the city, frowned slightly, and immediately ordered to take Zhou Yu with him. Chen Wu boarded the warship. The key to this battle with the Jingzhou army lies in the naval army, as long as the Jingzhou naval division is defeated, the foot soldiers on the shore will be defeated without a fight.

After coming to the water village, Gao Cheng and Zhou Tai, the chief general of the water army, took the others to the command platform, and looked forward from the command platform, and could see that the Jingzhou water army was well-trained and the sailors were elite. Several generals in armor on the opposite side were also observing from the command platform of the main ship in the direction of the water wall.

"The short-bearded general standing in the middle should be Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, and the two people standing beside him, one is Liu Pan, and the other is Huang Zhong!"

Liu Pan had met once when he was in Xia Cai, this Jingzhou general has no special ability in addition to his outstanding strength, well, it can't be said that he has no characteristics, his characteristic is his identity, as Liu Biao's nephew, he has a very high status in the army. is still above Huang Zhong.

Gao Cheng didn't care much about Huang Zu and Liu Pan, most of his attention was attracted by Huang Zhong, at this time Huang Zhong was in the prime of life, burly, holding a straight-backed long knife, the momentum seemed to be rolling the Yangtze River, his eyes were sharp, and he looked like he was not smiling.

Well?

As if sensing Gao Cheng's gaze, Huang Zhong's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, his eyes and Gao Cheng's eyes were connected, and the sharp light in his eyes was like a sharp arrow piercing through the void, mixed with the surging indestructible battle intent impact.

Bang! Gao Cheng quickly used his spiritual power, and also used his spiritual power as an arrow, containing the indestructible arrow intent of the Piercing Star Arrow, and the originally illusory thoughts collided in the air and let out a roar.

"General Huang, what's wrong?" Although Liu Pan's status was above Huang Zhong, he respected him very much, and found that Huang Zhong's eyes were sharp and looking ahead, and he looked like he was on guard, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "There is a soul refining master on the opposite side who is about to step into the realm of gods and men, it seems that attacking Chaisang this time is a bit troublesome!"

Liu Pan frowned, immediately thought of the situation in Xia Cai, and said: "Lujiang has such strength as the only one who is too shou Gao Cheng, could it be that he personally brought the troops?"

"It's not good, I heard from the two mountain chiefs of Lumen Academy that Gao Cheng is proficient in the thunder method, he once used a spell in Luoyang to repel Lu Bu, and he also killed the four elders of the Yuan clan in Runan in Xia Cai!

Speaking of this, Liu Pan's face already showed a trace of panic, when he was in Xia Cai, he and the two mountain chiefs of Lumen Academy were forced to flee by the four elders of the Yuan family, and the last news that these four powerful family elders came out was that they died at the hands of Gao Cheng. Doesn't this mean that Gao Cheng's strength is still above the Yuan family's elders?

When the news of Gao Cheng's occupation of Shouchun spread all over the world, Liu Biao and Pang Degong of Lumen Academy began to collect all the information of each other, and knew about Gao Cheng's childhood to adulthood, and even found out that Gao Cheng had been coerced by the Yellow Turban soldiers during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The more he knew about Gao Cheng's deeds, the more jealous Liu Biao was of him, worried that his strength would be out of control and threaten the safety of Jingzhou, so he took advantage of the battle for the jade seal to send Huang Zu to lead the army eastward, and also brought Huang Zhong, a top general.

Huang Zu, who was not far away, couldn't help but laugh when he heard what the two said, and said, "General Liu, don't worry, if a large-scale spell can kill and injure the army, that big man has already become the world of soul refining cultivators, as long as we take precautions in advance, Gao Cheng's spell will not threaten us!"

Since Emperor Shizu Guangwu urged the Heavenly Fire Meteor to defeat Wang Mang's army of millions, the future army battles, the more cautious generals, as long as they have the ability and conditions, will make targeted arrangements for large-scale spells.

Yuan Shao once cast a forbidden air magic array in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, imprisoning the flow of heaven and earth vitality within a radius of 100 miles, and it was aimed at large-scale spells! The Huang clan in Jingzhou also had such a method.

Huang Zu can become Jiangxia Taishou, and he also has some abilities, not a straw bag. After comforting Liu Pan, he turned his head and ordered: "Zhang Shuo, I will give you ten ships to test the strength of the Lujiang Water Division!"

Before the large-scale decisive battle, it is necessary to test the strength of the other side, and each side will send small warships to fight, just like the general fighting array, the winning side will be greatly boosted in morale and add three points of strength.

Huang Zu has full confidence in his own water army, if the strength of the Lujiang water army is not very good, and he will collapse at the touch of a button in the process of fighting, he will immediately launch a warship attack and directly enter the opponent's water village. Flattening the enemy army with one drum.

On the command platform, Gao Cheng saw that among the warships on the opposite side, ten warships sailed out and swam around the water village, and he immediately knew in his heart, "Huang Zu is trying to test the strength of our army! Zi Lie! I will give you ten warships, can you dare to fight against the enemy?"

Gao Cheng set his eyes on the young man not far away, and a smile appeared on his face, he was Chen Wu who had just defected, he was not yet twenty years old, and he had already broken through the extraordinary bottleneck and become a martial arts general.

Chen Wu's face turned red when he heard this, his heart was excited, and he hurriedly walked out to receive the order, "Lord, the last general is willing to make a military order, if you can't break the enemy ship, come and see you!"

Then Chen Wu jumped and came to the water village below, with a strong bow on his back and a spear in his hand, and led ten warships to burst out of the water village and meet the Jingzhou warship on the opposite side.

Chen Wu stood at the bow of the boat, showing a hideous face, drew his strong bow and shot three arrows in a row. Showed good archery skills. However, the Jingzhou naval army was well-trained and did not panic, and under the command of Zhang Shuo, the general of Huang Zu's department, interspersed back and forth, surrounded Chen Wu's ten warships and began to shoot arrows continuously.

"Jingzhou sailors are well-trained, and they are really fierce opponents!" Gao Cheng sighed slightly when he saw this. Zhou Yu, who was beside him, had never experienced a big battle, and at this time, his eyes looked at the water in front of him, especially the command of the Jingzhou warship interspersed back and forth, revealing a look of understanding, as if he was comprehending the tactics of the opponent's naval army.

Zhou Tai is the general of the Lujiang Naval Army, proficient in water warfare, he smiled when he heard this, and said: "The Jingzhou Naval Army is indeed well-trained, but it is a pity that they have not experienced a major war for a long time. ”

"Moreover, Chen Zilie's strength is not weak, but he is a martial general, with him as the vanguard, how can these ten ships of the Jingzhou Navy withstand the impact of extraordinary generals?"
