Chapter 107: Undercurrent
"What?" Liu Miao frowned. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He worked hard to defeat the Danyang army, but someone wanted to benefit from the fisherman? He didn't care about Zhou Xin's life or death, but Danyang County was what he was determined to get. It is said that there are no strong forces in Jiangdong at this time, how can this happen?
It may be that Liu Miao's reaction was a little bigger, which frightened the soldier who came to deliver the message, and the soldier forgot to continue reporting for a while.
Liu Miao reacted immediately, shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart that his city government was still a little worse, what kind of big deal was this? It's great, just fight back, anyway, it was ready to attack.
Thinking of this, Liu Miao took the initiative to ask the soldier who sent the message about what happened.
It turned out that Li Jing, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin led two thousand Iron Eagle Warriors to cross the river by boat, and traveled all the way, one to intercept the fleeing Zhou Xin, and the other to quickly take over Danyang, so as not to be taken advantage of by the rest of the forces when the news of the battle situation came out. When he was about to approach the quarry on the other side of the river, he was about to chase the remnants of the soldiers led by Zhou Xin, but at this time, ten thousand arrows suddenly shot at the shore and wiped out Zhou Xin's troops who were landing on the shore, and even Zhou Xin could not escape.
"Do you know where the soldiers and horses are on the other side?" Liu Miao asked.
"It is not known that General Li has tried to get closer, but there is no other response from the shore except archery. But then I vaguely saw the banner of the head of the quarrying city, and the word 'Sun' was written on it. ”
"Sun? Could it be Sun Ce? Liu Miao speculated.
He found Liu Ji, who had just returned from Jiangdong a few days ago, and asked, "Berwyn, how many soldiers and horses did Sun Ce bring back to Jiangdong?" ”
Liu Ji replied: "There are less than 3,000 soldiers and horses left in Sun Jian's old department, and Sun Ce escorted Sun Jian's body back to Qu'a for burial. But I once heard Sun Ce say that he would stick to filial piety for his father and grandson, and it stands to reason that he would not raise troops at this time. What's more, he just accepted the favor of the lord to borrow troops, if he knew that the lord wanted to take Danyang, he would not be against the lord clearly. ”
Liu Miao agreed with Liu Ji's idea, but the soldiers and horses on the other side were under the banner of the word "Sun", in Jiangdong, the surname Sun was also the Sun family where Sun Ce was, could it be that there was something wrong with the Sun family?
Liu Miao couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to say to Liu Ji: "The plan to take Danyang County must not be changed, I still go to see the situation in person." You stay in Liyang, take a look at the overall situation, and wait for Xu Da to lead the follow-up soldiers and horses to come, and first settle outside the city, waiting for my orders. ”
At the beginning, because he was in a hurry, Liu Miao only brought cavalry, but in order to cross the river to fight, Xu Da was ordered to follow behind with most of the foot soldiers, and he was still on the way to Liyang at this time.

On the same day, Liu Miao took his guards to set off from Hengjiangpu on a warship and sailed to the other side of the Yangtze River.
The warship rode the wind and waves, and Liu Miao stood at the bow of the ship, overlooking the Yangtze River.
At this time, the river surface was far wider than Liu Miao's original later generations, and the river water was clearer, but it was not like the later generations, with a wide Yangtze River bridge connecting the north and south, and now to cross the river, you can only rely on the only means of transportation - boats.
Looking at the white waves stirred up in the march of the warship, Liu Miao couldn't help but think of the famous poem "Rolling the Yangtze River East Passing Water, the Waves Sweep Away the Heroic ......", and he was full of emotion for a while.
This great river has flowed for tens of millions of years, witnessing the rise and fall of many eras, witnessing the existence of many heroes, and experiencing the rise and fall of the Chinese nation! With the change of times and the change of dynasties, the river is still flowing so freely, it has taken away too many successes and failures, but it has left a shining name, just like this clear water droplet, embedded in the long history of the Chinese nation.
Now, Liu Miao is here, he has spanned 2,000 years, and has come to this great era of heroes and turbulence, and has the opportunity to personally devote himself to the tide of the times, to witness, to rewrite, and to create. What can he leave behind for this great river and this nation?
Liu Miao looked at Mu Guiying and Hua Mulan, who were standing on the left and right, their beautiful and heroic posture seemed so harmonious against the backdrop of the vast river.
The second daughter felt Liu Miao's gaze and looked at it together. Mu Guiying asked, "Childe, what's wrong?" ”
Liu Miao turned his head to look ahead, facing the river breeze, and said heroically: "I want to be the trendsetter of this era, I want people to remember my name after 2,000 years, and I want to make the long river of Chinese history a broader and more glorious world!" Gui Ying, Mulan, will you always accompany me to achieve all this? ”
Mu Guiying and Hua Mulan glanced at each other, although they didn't understand the meaning of Liu Miao's words, they still nodded firmly: "No matter where the son goes, we are willing to swear to the death!" ”
"Good!" Liu Miao said excitedly, "Then let's start with the battle across the river!" ”
In the evening, Liu Miao met Li Jing.
Li Jing and his troops anchored on the river about a mile from the shore.
"Pharmacist, what's going on now?"
Li Jing Shili said: "The opponent's soldiers and horses are guarding the quarry rock, as long as we get close to the river bank, we will be blocked by bows and crossbows. I once asked the other party to report the origin, but the other party refused to reply. ”
Liu Miao looked at the flag of the "Sun" character floating at the head of the city and asked, "Has the other party's general ever appeared?" ”
"Nope!"
"Can our bows and arrows reach the city?"
"Then you need to be within the opponent's range!"
Liu Miao pondered for a moment and said, "Drive all the warships closer, shoot at the city, and try to attract the opponent's soldiers to show up, I have to see where the other party comes from." ”
Li Jing didn't know what means Liu Miao used to judge the origin of the other party, but he didn't hesitate to start giving orders.
The ships were moving quickly towards the shore, and the soldiers on board were ready to shoot.
When the ship entered a hundred paces away from the head of the city, the head of the city really began to block the bow and crossbow, and the arrows flew like locusts, and the preliminary estimate was that there were no less than 2,000 at a time, which showed that the opponent's strength was more than 2,000. But the opponent's soldiers all used the height difference to cover the projectile, and they did not show their heads for a long time. The hull and shield were in the way, and the arrows fired from the city did not cause any casualties.
The ship continued to advance under the rain of arrows, and the head of the city finally came into range of the Iron Eagle Sharps, and the ship began to return fire.
The two sides fired at each other for a while, and the head of the city probably thought that Liu Miao's army was going to force his way ashore, and finally strengthened the attack, and many soldiers began to show their heads and aim and shoot.
Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Miao used the system detection function to scan the soldiers at the head of the city one by one.
The result made Liu Miao a little surprised.
The soldiers belong to a very miscellaneous family, there are Wu Jing, Sun Ben, and Yuan Shu, among which Sun Ben has the most soldiers and Yuan Shu the least.
After thinking about it, Liu Miao had a score in his heart. If as expected, this must be Sun Jian's old department, probably on the order of Yuan Shu to occupy Danyang County, Wu Jing and Sun Ben are just Yuan Shu's thugs, but I don't know if Sun Ce is involved.
"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are really brothers, and they have sent people to Yangzhou to take advantage, but you have to ask me Liu Miao!"
Liu Miao glanced at the city head with contempt, and asked Li Jing instead: "If you attack strongly, how sure are you to take Quarry Rock?" ”
Li Jing thought for a while and said, "If you can suppress the arrows at the head of the city, with the combat strength of our army, it will not be difficult to land and take the head of the city." But our current forces are too small, and a strong attack can be taken, but the losses will be very large. ”
Liu Miao thought about it, and asked Mu Guiying and Hua Mulan to shoot a few arrow letters to the top of the city, but he didn't want to receive a reply from the other party after a while, and the content of the reply made Liu Miao suspicious.
