Zhang Shuo waved the banner of the Huangzu Water Village Army in Qichun County, drove a light ship and other large and small river boats in front, and Pang Yan took other soldiers and horses of the Xionglu battalion to follow behind as merchant ships, and then according to Wang Yuyan's plan, he sailed directly to the Turtle and Snake Gorge.

However, although Zhu Wei trusted Zhang Shuo, Pang Yan and Ling Cao still secretly took precautions against Zhang Shuo and them, and on the warship in front, through the door of the cabin, Ling Cao arranged a few crossbow machines to aim at Zhang Shuo and a military marquis on the deck, so as not to suddenly change their fortunes and report to the defenders on Huang Zu's side.

As for the two military marquis on Pang Yan's ship, Pang Yan was standing in person, if they dared to mess around, Pang Yan could solve them in one fell swoop.

In this way, everything went according to Wang Yuyan's arrangement.

The march on the water can be done day and night, only need to rotate the boatmen, and all the soldiers can also cultivate in the cabin, without the fatigue of the march, so Zhu Wei's army set off from Poyang Lake, that is, one day's effort to Qichun County.

Then it took only a day to set off from Qichun County, and it was about the morning of the next day, and the warships and other large and small river ships in front of them had already arrived in front of the Turtle and Snake Gorge.

Soon, the Huangzu sentinels on the cliffs on both sides of the Turtle and Snake Gorge spotted the boats sailing on the river, and when they saw that it was their own warships, waving their own flags, these sentries relaxed a lot.

After a while, the warship led by Zhang Shuo entered the Turtle and Snake Gorge with five large river boats and dozens of small boats behind, and the gorge walls on both sides were steep, and there seemed to be apes jumping on the cliffs, occasionally falling some gravel, and smashing on the boat was also clanging.

The Turtle Snake Gorge is wide and narrow, the river is only fifty steps wide, the general boat can only enter the Turtle Snake Gorge, but they dare not walk side by side, look into the air from the boat, and you can clearly see the figure of Huang Zu's soldiers walking around on the cliffs on both sides.

Zhang Shuo and his fleet had passed through most of the canyon waterway of the Turtle Snake Gorge not long after, but there were two small boats in front of him, which should have been sent from the Turtle Snake Gorge Water Village to inquire about the situation.

On top of the boat, there were two commanders of the Turtle Snake Gorge Water Battalion Army, with twenty or thirty soldiers, and saw Zhang Shuo standing on the deck of the warship, and they could be regarded as acquaintances.

A tun chief couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, "How did Zhang Zuo drive the boat back, but what happened to Qi Chun?" ”

At this moment, Zhu Wei raided Jiangxia, and the news had not yet reached here, so it can be said that the speed of Zhu Wei's march was faster than the speed that Huang Zu could convey by the scouts and spies left on Chaisang's side.

Or even if Huang Zu's scouts and spies were sent to Xiling County, Jiangxia with flying pigeons, it would take time to send news from Xiling County to the Turtle Snake Gorge Water Camp.

Therefore, the defenders of Huang Zu on the side of the water camp in Turtle Snake Gorge also had no defense, which was also the premise of Wang Yuyan's strategy to attack Turtle Snake Gorge quickly.

Of course, now everything depends on how Zhang Shuo acts.

Zhang Shuo looked at the two captains on the small boat in front of him, and said with a smile, "There is a big caravan from Xuzhou, there are dozens of big ships and hundreds of small boats, hehe, a certain family has collected the escort funds in Qichun County, so they have escorted them all the way here, but in order to avoid misunderstandings on the side of Turtle and Snake Gorge, let's talk first, by the way, Gongzi can be in the camp!" ”

"Haha, it turns out that General Zhang Zuo has made a small fortune, the son is not here, and now there are only General Chen Zuo and General Deng Zuo in the camp, why do you need to inform the two of you about him?"

The chief who spoke before also joked with Zhang Shuo with a smile, and then asked Zhang Shuo again.

"Haha, what's the report, can a certain family still lie, the money collected for the guards this time will also be handed over to the son, and a certain family will take a lucky money, okay, quickly lead the way, by the way, let the brothers on the cliff not come nonsense, this is a big financier, if it is offended, the son will ask in the future, but he will be blamed! The master behind the trading company on the ship also has some status! ”

Zhang Shuo said casually, and at the same time, he couldn't help but deliberately warn, in order to let the fleet led by Pang Yan behind him easily enter the Turtle and Snake Gorge.

Now Zhang Shuo's side can only be regarded as the forward Xiong Lu Battalion's trap and path-finding front team, and the main force of the Xiong Lu Camp is in Pang Yan's fleet behind, as long as Pang Yan's fleet can pass this Turtle and Snake Gorge, it will naturally be regarded as completely passing the danger on the river.

"Okay, okay, let's give the order immediately!"

The commanders on these two small boats didn't have any suspicions, after all, they would never have thought that Zhang Shuo had already surrendered to the enemy, and they were talking nonsense at the moment.

Soon a soldier on the boat blew a bamboo whistle and sent a signal to the cliffs on both sides of the Turtle and Snake Gorge, and soon a signal was also heard on the cliff, indicating that the people on the cliff already knew.

Although there are only 3,000 soldiers in the water camp of this Turtle and Snake Gorge now, it is even more dangerous than the hot spring pass guarded by 300 Spartan warriors.

As long as the boats in the water camp in Turtle and Snake Gorge blocked the waterway, Zhu Wei's follow-up ships could not quickly break through, so they could only be attacked by Huang Zu's soldiers on the two cliffs of Snake Mountain and Turtle Mountain with falling rocks, fireballs, and rockets in vain.

Therefore, 3,000 soldiers are actually enough to guard this side, because the Zhu Wei ships in the canyon are almost impossible to threaten the cliffs.

But now the Huang Zu soldiers on the cliffs on both sides of the Turtle and Snake Gorge have completely lost their vigilance, and there are orders from below, telling them not to come to the ships coming in below, so what else do they need to care about.

Not long after, Zhang Shuo was already about to sail out of the Turtle and Snake Gorge with a few big boats, and at the same time, Ling Cao also secretly told the small boat that he would follow to go back to inform Pang Yan, so that Pang Yan could come to the Turtle and Snake Gorge with peace of mind.

Of course, the two military marquis on the Pang Yan boat at that time could once again make the Huang Zu soldiers on the cliffs on both sides of the Turtle and Snake Gorge lose their defense.

As long as Zhang Shuo passed through the Turtle and Snake Gorge here, Ling Cao would naturally be able to trap the nearly 3,000 forwards hidden on the boat here, and kill the two cliffs of the Turtle and Snake Gorge from the slopes on both sides of the Turtle and Snake Gorge, and take these two cliffs, and the Turtle and Snake Gorge would be no longer a threat.

In this way, with Zhang Shuo's warship and the five big ships behind him, he drove out of the Turtle and Snake Gorge, and not far in front of him was a water military camp of Huang Zu.

This water military camp is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, directly connected to the cliff of Snake Mountain on the north bank, of course, there are also rattan trestle bridges connected to the cliff of Snake Mountain and the cliff of Turtle Mountain on the other side of the Yangtze River, so that the soldiers on duty on the two cliffs can also return to the water army camp at any time to take turns.

At this moment, Zhang Shuo led the fleet and drove directly into the water army camp, and the Huang Zushui military camp located in the Turtle Snake Gorge also did not have any suspicion and defense......
