Zhang Tang listened to it and had no choice but to respond.

Speaking of which, he himself is also a little curious, now that the Northern Expedition of the Jiangdong Army has been declared a complete failure, Ma Zhong jumped up and down some time ago, and he has been in the limelight enough, why bother to draw snakes at this time?

If you want to say that the camp has some ulterior purpose, that soup doesn't believe anything.

If there is any collusion between the camp and the imperial court, it is more convenient for people to go directly to Zhaoguan.

What's more, as soon as they came, they showed their attitude and directly launched an attack on the remaining imperial court soldiers and horses.

The camp will not be able to defeat the idea of the mouth.

There are at least 100,000 households in Liyang, and this is a barren tidal flat, which has no other role than as a bridgehead for attacking Chaohu Lake.

However, it is not easy to inquire about the reality of the relief camp.

……

Zhang Tang sighed for a long time, and the information was delivered to the door by himself.

When Cen Wolf, who was walking behind with the brigade, heard that the scout said that Zhang Tang was also nearby, he suddenly couldn't hold back his showmanship, and proudly asked Zhang Tang to call.

In Cen Wolf's own words, when he went to Luo County to command the troops, it was not much different from dividing the territory. Back then, Pan Zhang was thinking about ruling the county alone, but he didn't expect that he would have this blessing now.

Zhang Tang was envious when he heard this.

He and Cen Wolf are also old friends, and when he asked casually, Cen Wolf bragged aggressively, "It's not a big deal, now that the Lord has opened the Jiangbei Mansion, he has been appointed to relieve the troubled governor." Therefore, all military affairs can be carried out independently. It's just a Hefei, it's not a big deal. ”

Zhang Tang was shocked when he heard this.

At the beginning, Sun Quan didn't succeed in making a big move in Hefei, but Ma Zhong didn't eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to have such thoughts?

Zhang Tang asked tentatively, "Then Ma Zhongke came with you?" ”

Zhang Tang shook his head, "It's Ma Yan's commander who joined the army, and the lord went to quell the rebellion in Danyang." ”

Zhang Tang listened to it and silently remembered it in his heart.

After Cen Wolf showed up, he embarked on the journey very refreshed.

This military operation went even more smoothly than everyone imagined.

The court scouts in Misukou were caught off guard, and as a result, none of them escaped.

This gives you the opportunity to learn about the raid of the annoyance.

When Ding Feng's vanguard troops arrived at the mouth of the Chaohu River, they happened to see many county soldiers from Hefei driving the slender man, trying to drag the sunken ship at the mouth of the river.

However, the sunken ship was stuck in the riverbed, and there was nothing that could be done with these hundreds of soldiers and slender men alone.

Ding Feng neatly defeated the county soldiers guarding nearby, and then guarded the hundreds of slender men and rope tools that he had picked up for nothing.

The army led by Ma Jian arrived at the mouth of the river only half a day later than him, and he was also very happy to see Ding Feng have such an extra gain.

Along the way, he thought about how to use the buoyancy of the ship.

However, although there are many methods, there is a lot of time wasted.

It takes a lot of time to load rocks, water, or even sawed round logs into a boat.

However, half a day has passed since Ding Feng raided the defending troops at the mouth of the river.

Zhang Liao from Hefei will be able to come over early tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Even optimistically, the time will not drag on until tomorrow evening in any case.

Such a short period of time is simply not enough to complete this huge workload.

Ma Jian racked his brains and couldn't think of a way, and finally he could only open the bag helplessly.

When he saw the answer Ma Zhong gave him, Ma Tan's whole person was almost petrified, and then he could only sigh that the second brother was indeed the second brother.

Ma Zhong's method is incomparably simple.

He didn't bring anything to the ship at all, but living people!

It's hard to deliver, but people are alive! People can run on the boat and get off on their own!

And the weight of the person is also considerable!

Ma Zhong told Ma Tan in his bag that the method was to let a large number of soldiers board the big ship first, and then let the soldiers tie the big ship and the sunken ship tightly together with ropes.

When the preparations are complete, let the sailors of the big ship jump into the water in turn.

Even if a soldier is only 150 catties, then jumping a hundred soldiers into the water can make the big ship produce 15,000 catties of pulling force!

If a thousand sailors jump from a big ship into the water, the buoyancy of the big ship will cause a pull force of 150,000 catties to the sunken ship!

There was enough force to lift the wreck off the riverbed.

As long as the wreck can be pulled up from the silt at the bottom of the river, it will not be difficult to remove it.

Ma Tan told everyone about Ma Zhong's method. Everyone was amazed.

Then it was arranged in full swing.

In order to gain time, Ding Feng took his Nanban battalion soldiers and horses and continued to advance northward, striving to be able to block Zhang Liao for a while longer, and buy time for the Cen wolf behind.

Cen Wolf did not delay his efforts, and quickly made his own arrangements.

After the warships on Chaohu Lake were captured by Cao's army, they were already regarded as their own trophies. Although there was no maintenance, they all gathered and anchored near the estuary.

The sailors of Leshui and Weitong were both trained to operate simple boats, and the soldiers and horses at the heads of these two battalions were mainly responsible for snatching the warships and driving them to the mouth of the river as soon as possible.

Cen Wolf's own subordinates and the sailors recruited by Wang Li in Jianchang were responsible for finding the location of the sunken ship as soon as possible.

By the time Weitong hurriedly selected a few suitable big boats to drive over, Cen Wolf had already thoroughly understood the situation at the mouth of the river.

These people did not dare to waste time.

Hurriedly commanded the big ships under Wei Tong to come closer, and then the soldiers who knew how to water in the camp began to board the ships in turn.

As a large number of soldiers boarded the ship, the draft of the hull really got deeper and deeper.

When Ma Jian felt that it was about the same, he immediately ordered people to tie the ropes tied to the sunken ships to several large ships.

Then, according to the previous plan, the soldiers were instructed to dive in turn.

Under the combined efforts of several large ships, the wreck blocking the rear finally loosened and was slowly dragged away from the riverbed.

In the cheers of everyone, Weitong hurriedly commanded his subordinates to raise the sails, and with the help of the wind, the wreck was dragged from the water to Chaohu Lake little by little.

The first ship succeeded, and the rest was not difficult.

The morale of the officers and men of the Jiefu battalion was greatly boosted, and it happened that Leshui came to help with a large number of warships, and the clean-up of the sunken ships went extremely smoothly.

It wasn't until it was dark that the work of cleaning up the wreck of the camp was suspended.

Relying solely on the moonlight, it is already difficult to accurately find the location of the wreck.

Ma Tan saw that there were not many obstacles left, so he had the intention to let Leshui take the boat out and try his luck.

However, such a decision was organized by Cen Wolf.

If the adventure fails and new ships are clogged at the mouth of the river, I am afraid that this plan will be completely ruined.

The crowd waited anxiously all night.

At dawn, the most worrying thing happened.

The north is lit with the beacon fire of Ding Feng's urgency!
