Fu Youde went down the river and drifted to the territory of Fancheng, where he was rescued by Liu Yu, who had entered a few days ago. The two of www.biquge.info agreed to wait for Fu Youde's physical recovery, and Liu Yu went to defect to the Han army when his filial piety expired.

In Xiangyang, opposite Fancheng, Liu Biao also decided to send troops to Nanyang after the persuasion of Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang.

How can it be easy to become a prince? Although Liu Biao was old later, he was willing to surrender. But now he is only fifty, which is the age of prime of life, and he has ambitions, but he does not dare to express them.

It's just that Nanyang is very important, it is the gateway to Jingzhou, once it is obtained by Liu Biao, he Liu Biao will have no chance to chase the deer. And this attack on Nanyang is of great significance to Liu Bian, as long as Liu Biao is defeated, from now on, there is no need to be afraid of pressing a son of heaven on his head.

In the past, Liu Yan sent troops to raid Chang'an, and now Liu Biao's ambitions have also grown sharply, even if he is defeated this time, the reason for his troops is only to attack Yuan Shu and recover Nanyang. In this way, there is no need to worry too much about offending Liu Wei.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao ordered: "Cai Mao Zhang Yun listens to the order!"

"The last general!"

"The two of you immediately prepare boats for 30,000 people to cross the river, and prepare enough food and grass!" Liu Biao ordered.

"No!"

"Huang Zu, Wen Ping listens to the order!"

"The last general!" The two of them came out of the ranks.

"The two of you will lead 30,000 troops, go down to Deng County first, garrison Fancheng, first watch the movements of the Han army and the Yuan army, send troops if necessary, and don't let the Son of Heaven take Nanyang!" Liu Biao said in a deep voice.

The two of them looked at each other, the difficulty of this battle is not insignificant, and the Han army must be defeated. This opportunity is very difficult to grasp, if the Jingzhou soldiers and horses lose, it will inevitably cause a commotion and offend the Son of Heaven, although Liu Biao has a reason to send troops to recover Nanyang, but it will definitely make Liu Wei hold a grudge.

When the time comes, after Liu Wei dominates the world, even if Liu Biao surrenders, Liu Wei will not let him go.

Although it was in the mouth of the Son of Heaven Liu Bian, the Jingzhou generals went there without hesitation. Because they are a family, even if they surrender and Liu Wei will rectify the world in the future, their family will not be able to please them if they have done disgraceful things over the years.

Huang Zu, Wen Ping, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others all went to prepare for the Northern Expedition. At this moment, in Nanxiang County, which is a hundred miles away, Chang Yuchun and the Han army also led an army of 30,000 and marched out of the county seat, ready to discuss Yuan's affairs.

The 30,000-strong army came to the edge of the Xiangjiang River, and on this day the river was covered with fog, and the visibility was not high.

"This fog has lasted for several days, and there have been a lot of spies in the Yuan army recently, this time the Yuan army will definitely attack from the waterway, and you must be vigilant!" Before the army crossed the river, Chang Yuchun told Gan Ning.

"According to the scout report, Yuan Jun also brought a lot of sailors this time, I'm afraid it's aimed at us. That Lan Yu, a despicable villain, has this scheme? Gan Ning said indignantly.

"Villains also have the ability of villains, not to be taken lightly, let's be cautious!" Chang Yuchun shook his head and said.

"General, don't worry, Yuan Jun thinks that our navy is weak, but he ignores that I, Gan Ning, am a master of the water! With me escorting the Jinfan Battalion, if the Yuan army dares to attack this time, I will definitely want them to come and go! Gan Ning said confidently.

Chang Yuchun nodded and ordered: "The army crosses the river and goes out!"

Countless ships had docked on the shore, and Gan Ning led the 800 Jinfan battalion under his command and 2,000 soldiers from the Han army to board the ship first.

After these nearly 3,000 soldiers boarded the ship, they first set up positions on both sides of the fleet and defended on both sides of the fleet.

Then the 30,000 troops also boarded the ships one after another, Chang Yuchun looked at Gan Ning from afar, nodded, Gan Ning understood, and merged into the main army with 3,000 soldiers under his command, but the 3,000 formation maintained a long line. As long as the Yuan army attacks, Gan Ning can also lead these 3,000 soldiers and horses to kill.

As for the cavalry, with their grain and grass, they were temporarily on standby on the shore, and waited for the main force to cross the river after crossing the river.

30,000 soldiers and horses marched across the river, the soldiers and horses gradually came to the center of the river, the fog filled the center of the river, looking at it from afar, you can only see the soldiers and horses on the river, as for the farther place, it is a blur.

"Kill!"

The soldiers and horses gradually came to the center of the river, and suddenly, only a shout of killing was heard on the left.

Chang Yuchun raised his eyebrows, and immediately stood up and ordered: "Raise your shield to meet the enemy!"

Suddenly, the Han soldiers on the left side of the ship raised their shields from the ship. While the Han army raised their shields, they saw a burst of arrows on the left side of the river.

The arrows were full of rockets, and although they were on the river at this time, most of the boats were small boats, so it was not difficult to extinguish the fire. But if the Han army is not much prepared, a few rounds of rockets will come, and the Han army will definitely be in chaos. And the Yuan army only needs to send a light boat elite to kill. Disrupting the camp of Han ships, the Han army is bound to be defeated.

It's just that the enemy Lan Yu faced at this time was Chang Yuchun, and although Chang Yuchun took the lead in the battle, he was also cautious in his use of troops in his life. And among the Han army, there are also Jinyi guards to help deliver the news, although there is no clear battle plan for the Yuan army, but Chang Yuchun also vaguely guessed that the Yuan army will attack when the Han army crosses the river.

Among the Han army, there happened to be Gan Ning, a fierce general on the water, and he also had 800 Jinfan under his command, and he was also a warrior on the water. And these 30,000 soldiers and horses, of which 20,000, were selected from the people who fled from Nanyang to form an army, and many of them were good at water, so Chang Yuchun used these people to deal with Yuan's army.

Chang Yuchun was prepared, and Lan Yu's surprise attack naturally could not succeed. A burst of rockets struck, most of them were blocked by shields, and the rest of the sparse Lala shot at the Han warship, Chang Yuchun was in the center of the fleet, and hurriedly commanded the Han army to fetch water to extinguish the fire.

Among these Han troops, 10,000 are elites, and the other 20,000 are recruits who have been in the army for a year. Although it was the first time to experience the war, under the orderly command of Chang Yuchun, there was not much panic.

On the left side of the Han warship, in the fog, Lan Yu stood on the bow of the ship, looking from a distance, but he couldn't see the situation of the Han army clearly, but when he heard the endless shouts among the Han army, Lan Yu mistakenly thought that the Han army was in chaos.

"I led 3,000 sailors to attack and kill, and then I will shoot arrows in response, and then chase and kill them!" Lan Yu ordered in a deep voice.

"No!" A number of generals and colonels on the warships on both sides of the blue jade were all excited to give up their orders.

"Kill me!" Lan Yu stood on the bow of the ship, holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, and led a brisk boat to rush towards the Han army.

In the fleet of the Han army, Chang Yuchun saw that the Yuan army's arrow rain offensive weakened a lot, and the arrows were also replaced by ordinary arrows from rockets, so he knew that the Yuan army was rushing towards his side. Chang Yuchun looked at Gan Ning and shouted from afar: "Xingba, you lead the navy to meet the enemy, and the archers protect the strategy!"

"No!" Gan Ning had already prepared, and when Chang Yuchun ordered, Gan Ning immediately led his three thousand good fighting sailors to meet the enemy. In the Han army's array, the archers were also under the protection of the shield soldiers, shooting towards the Yuan army on the opposite side of the fog.

On the other side of the fog, a flurry of arrows was shot from the Han army, and Lan Yu hurriedly dodged, but many of the Yuan army behind him were shot down the Xiangjiang River.

"Get down!" Lan Yu hurriedly ordered, and the raiding fleet of 3,000 Yuan troops hurriedly lay on the warship to avoid arrows, but the 10,000 Yuan troops on both sides of Lan Yu were not so lucky, they did not carry shields to protect, and many of them were shot down into the river under the dense arrows.

"What's going on? How did the Han army carry bows and arrows, were they prepared? Lan Yu's side was shocked.

"It's not surprising that the shoelace bow and arrow, give him a charge!" Lan Yu snorted coldly.

"The density of this arrow, I'm afraid it wasn't carried with the army, I'm afraid that the Han army has already prepared!"

"What if you have been prepared, the Han army has no water army, we will rush in, defeat the Han army as well, kill me!" Lan Yu ignored the adjutant general's obstruction and ordered the soldiers and horses to charge.

Yuan's army traveled for a while, and gradually approached the Han army, and saw from a distance that among the Han ships, Gan Ning also led 3,000 sailors to kill.

On the surface of the river, the two sailors were like arrows off the string, and in an instant, the two sailors collided on the river.

Those who are good at water are not afraid of the rocking of the boat, and the boat is like walking on the ground, and the two fleets are connected, like a great road, and the two forces of soldiers and horses fight. The two soldiers and horses behind the flotilla also rowed quickly, trying to surround the opposite ships. As a result, the two fleets besieged a battlefield on the river, and hundreds of boats were mixed.

The Yuan army and the Han army were mixed together, and they fought each other. And Gan Ning also picked his old opponent Lan Yu, holding a long knife and slashing at Lan Yu.

"The defeated generals also dare to raid grandpa's sailors, when grandpa is crisscrossing the river, you don't know where it is!" Gan Ning slashed at Lan Yu and scolded.

Lan Yu is not good at water fighting after all, and the ship is shaking, and it is difficult for him to stand firmly, but Gan Ning is as flat as he is on the ground. In this way, there is not much difference in the strength of the two, but Gan Ning took advantage of this advantage to suppress Lan Yu.

And the 10,000 Yuan army gradually came within the sight of the Han army, and when they saw the good looks and the defenses, they all panicked. The Yuan army had no shield to defend and suffered far more casualties than the Han army, and under the attack of arrows, the Yuan army collapsed without a fight.

Without a shield, when charging, you will only be shot under the arrows of the Han army. And the discipline of Yuan's army was loose, and when they encountered this formation, even if they were in chaos, they rowed their warships one by one and wanted to return, and some even fell into the water in order to avoid arrows.

"Wait for you to continue to move forward and release arrows, the main force of the Yuan army with bows and arrows!" Chang Yuchun saw that the overall situation had been decided, and gave an order to the soldiers, but he himself jumped off a small boat and headed towards the naval battlefield in Jiangxin with a tiger head and a golden gun.

But after a while, Chang Yuchun arrived at the battlefield of the navy by boat, the two armies fought together in chaos, Chang Yuchun jumped on the warship, waved the tiger head Zhan golden gun in his hand, but harvested the lives of Yuan's soldiers.
