In the early morning, the water surface of the Sanjiang estuary, the dense fog locks the river, and the distance beyond the three zhang is blurred, and the place where the sight can be seen is hazy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the Wuya battleship of the Flying Fish, Dong Xi's face was calm, the ships lined up were stern, and on the ships stood a group of sailors with bows and arrows. Although his vision was obstructed, Dong Xi still smelled the smell of danger, which was a sense of oppression brought about by the pressure of the army.

"Whoosh!" On the foggy river, arrows flew and the sound of the wind was dense, like locusts entering the country, bringing gusts of wind.

"Ahh ......" The sergeants on the warships in the front row were shot by the arrows falling from the sky, and the ones who were hit by the arrows all let out a miserable cry.

"Shoot indiscriminately, let's go!" Dong Xian, who was on top of the battleship, immediately gave the order to attack when he heard a sound coming from the front.

The soldiers of the 8,000 naval army bent their bows and arrows one after another, and completed a round of random shooting, and a burst of screams sounded on the river surface in the dense fog.

In the dense fog, Zhou Yu's naval army, thousands of ships, large and small, took advantage of the cover of the dense fog to first open the way with bows and arrows, and then rushed into the battle formation laid by Dong Xian.

"Soldiers, behind are your relatives, now the only chance to survive is to rush over, whether there is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire in front, I, Zhou Yu and you, together with you, will be victorious, and if you can't kill it, this place is the burial place of our relatives." Zhou Yu, who was on the boat, was holding a long sword and raised his voice to convey his order.

30,000 sailors, 60,000 dependents, thousands of ships, mighty, more than ten miles of fleet, just rushed into Dong Xi's water village, in front of a row of firewood stacked with firewood, 150 dead soldiers on the fast boat, so good not afraid of death lit the fire boat, rushed into Dong Xi's fleet.

The purpose of these dead soldiers who drove the fire ship was not to burn the Dong raid fleet that was blocking them, but to light up the world for Zhou Yu's army in the rear, so that the Dong raid fleet under the light of the fire became the target of attack.

"Shoot the arrows." With the light of the burning fire of the clipper, Cheng Pu led a fleet of warships and went straight into the forward fleet of Dong Raiders, and after the dense arrows, it was the soldiers of Cheng Pu's department who rushed to kill.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Above the river under the thick fog, there were sounds of fighting, as well as the sound of weapons colliding, and the sound of falling water.

In the face of the desperateness of Zhou Yu's troops, Dong Xi, who had been prepared for a long time, did not panic at all, but slowly gathered the formation, relying on the ten five-tooth warships, and laid out a circular formation, and just like that, he and the 10,000 sailors led by Cheng Pu launched a fierce battle on the river.

Zhou Yu did not lead the army to participate in the battle, but took advantage of the situation and led Rui Xuan to lead the troops to ignite a huge bamboo row, and pushed into the iron cable of the barrage, which is 20 zhang long and 3 zhang wide, which is naturally used to open the road, they can not only light up the river, Zhou Yu's army shines on the face, but also can drag the barrage iron cable, as well as the wooden stakes under the river, to open the way for the passage of the large number of ships.

"Governor, the chasing army behind us is only half a day's journey away, we only have two hours, if we don't pass through the Sanjiangkou in time, once the pursuers in the rear arrive, we are afraid that it will be difficult to rush out." Lu Fan couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw the slow pace of the march ahead.

"Order the family ships in the rear to forcibly open the way, and if they can break out one of them, they will count them as one, and at the same time send a fighting ship to destroy the iron stakes with weapons." Zhou Yu took this group of family members with him, and there was also a purpose, first of all, if he could pass safely, he would naturally be happy, and if he encountered a critical moment, the family members of these ships would be bargaining chips or abandoned children.

It's not that he's ruthless, it's war, and war has always had no benevolence or righteousness, only victory and defeat.

The shouting and killing sound from the river can make Xu Chu on the shore anxious, but he is not watery, nor does he have a warship, and the river is full of fog, not only can he not help, but he can't even see the battle situation clearly, so he can only be anxious.

Dong Raid relied on the defensive power of the Wuya battleship, under the onslaught of 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Cheng Pu, although he gave up the Jiangxin position step by step, but still firmly controlled the formation, gathered the sergeants on the Wuya battleship, and fired bows and arrows and falling rocks at the approaching enemy ships in an orderly manner, and once the enemy soldiers climbed onto the ship, the melee soldiers on the ship would dance with water forks and rush up to kill the enemy soldiers who rushed up.

On the entire river, there were screams, fights, and fires rushing to the sky, but they could not disperse the thick fog.

Zhou Yu castrated 60,000 family ships, at the cost of manpower, it took an hour, and finally broke through the mouth of the three rivers as long as five miles, seeing the vast river in sight, Zhou Yu did not have the slightest excitement in his eyes, but said calmly: "Chen Wu, you lead 5,000 men and horses to meet General Cheng Pu's retreat, and I will send Rui Xuan to wait for you at the mouth of the river." ”

"Whoa." Chen Wu took the order and left.

"Rush at full speed without the slightest delay." Zhou Yu didn't care about the family members who fell into the water on the river, so he led the army to break the waves and drive straight out.

When Chen Wu led the army to meet Cheng Pu and fought and retreated, Dong Raid changed the norm and commanded the warship instead, and launched a counterattack in the shape of a pin, relying on the huge and sturdy hull of the Wuya battleship, Dong Raid ordered the standard-bearer: "Rush up at full speed and knock all the enemy ships overturned." ”

Although Chen Wu Chengpu had twice as many as Dong Raid, most of their ships were small boats, which would face the collision of the Wuya warship that was several feet high, like a moving fortress, and the only thing they could do was to flee, because they had no power to fight back.

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw...... Cheng Pu's boat was violently impacted, and the hull immediately made a loud noise, and the hull tilted down.

"It's out of the water, it's out of the water,......" the hundred sergeants on the boat shouted in panic.

Cheng Pu, who is quite good in water, shouted, jumped off the ship, stepped on a ship, and fled in embarrassment.

The warships of both sides, the soldiers chased and fought on the river in this way, until the sun was three poles, and the visibility above the river began to become clear, Dong Xi found that the ships had gone out of the mouth of the three rivers, and at this moment, on the cold river surface, there were floating corpses everywhere, and the clear river water was also dyed red.

"General, the Governor's army has arrived ten miles behind, this is the Governor's warrant." Just when Dong Raid was hesitating whether to continue the pursuit, the news from a clipper ship shocked Dong Raid's spirit, because Lu Su's warrant was to order him to be sure to drag the enemy.

"Soldiers, the reinforcements are about to arrive, everyone cheer up and follow me to hunt down the enemy." Dong Xi raised his arms and shouted, and nearly a thousand sergeants on the Wuya battleship behind him shouted: "Mighty, mighty!" ”

When Zhou Yu led the army to escape from the territory of Chaisang, the ships immediately docked and anchored, waiting for Cheng Pu Chen Wu in the rear, and cutting down the number on the shore and carrying stones to block the pursuers in the rear.

"Dudu, the enemy army will chase and kill at any time, just let the last general stay, you go first." Seeing that Zhou Yu ordered the ship to stop, Rui Xuan, a partial general, couldn't help but persuade anxiously.

"It's okay, it won't take long, you immediately lead a sergeant to cut down trees, and Lu Fan leads a sergeant to carry stones, and the speed must be fast." After Zhou Yu gave a deep order, he immediately led a sergeant to set up a barrage on the river, and then ordered the sergeant to tie up the felled wood and stones, until Cheng Pu and Chen Wu led the remnants to arrive, Zhou Yu ordered the bound stones and wood to be thrown into the river.

Huge logs and stones were thrown into the vast river, and under the obstruction of the barrage cables, a floating pontoon bridge was soon formed on the river surface.

At this time, when Zhou Yu was retreating, he ordered Rui Xuan: "You lead a group of soldiers to wait here, once Han Lie's army approaches, pour black oil into the river, ignite the sea of fire, and hinder the pursuit of the enemy." ”

"Whoa!"

Due to Zhou Yu's arrangement of blocking the river and blocking the sea of fire, Dong Xi's navy had to watch Zhou Yu's army leave, and when Lu Su led the army to arrive, when the sea of fire burned out, more than an hour had passed, and at this moment, there was still the shadow of Zhou Yu's navy on the river.

Faced with this situation, Lu Su had to sigh: "Zhou Gongjin has great wisdom, and I can't do it." ”

Although Lu Su's army hurried and hurried, it was half a beat slower after all, after all, Zhou Yu led the army to leave Poyang in the middle of the night, and he only found out after dawn that there was an interval of more than half a day, and Zhou Yu seized this gap and rushed out of the interception at the mouth of the three rivers.

However, this time to break through, the price paid by Zhou Yu's troops was very serious, 60,000 family boats, rushed out less than 20,000, of which 20,000 were buried in the river, 20,000 were rescued and placed in Chaisang, 30,000 sailors and horses, 12,000 people were lost, of which 5,000 were captured, and the rest were buried in the cold river.

With the success of Zhou Yu's breakthrough, Yuzhang County undoubtedly fell completely, and more than 300,000 people in Yuzhang 21 counties fell into the hands of Han Lie.

In the lobby of the Chaisang Governor's Mansion, Han Lie first rewarded the meritorious soldiers this time, and then said: "Liu Ye listens to the order, you are the Taishou of Yuzhang County, govern Nanchang, Xu Sheng is the order of Chaisang, and General Hengjiang leads the people of the headquarters to station in Chaisang." ”

"Whoa." Liu Ye and Xu Sheng hurriedly responded.

"All ministries will take a break for the time being, wait for news from Jingzhou, and then make the next step." Han Lie then waved everyone back, leaving Guo Jia and Xun You, and said: "Zhou Yu has escaped, this is a scourge after all, this person is complementary to Sun Ce's civil and military forces, he is really a fierce enemy, I am worried that the war in Jingnan will change." ”

"Lord, since you are worried about this, why don't you send a naval army to secretly march towards Xiakou, once the situation in front changes, we will either rush to the aid of Jiangling, or take the opportunity to occupy Xiakou, and then seize Jiangxia." Guo Jia naturally knew that the ultimate goal of the alliance with Liu Biao was to annex Jingzhou, so whether it was to aid Jiangling or capture Jiangxia, the essence was actually the same.

"I think it is feasible, now that we are an ally with Liu Biao, our army uses the name of galloping to seize Xiakou as a stronghold, which is logical, Xiakou's geographical location is important, you can take Jiangxia when you enter, you can protect yourself when you retreat, and you can drive Jiangling directly to the west." Xun Yu echoed.

After Han Lie pondered for a while, he said: "I heard that Jiangxia is too protective of Huang Zu's greed for money, since we are going to occupy Xiakou, this person still needs to be appeased, should I send someone to communicate with Huang Zu first?" ”

"This matter is easy to hear, I used to stay in Xiangyang, once met with Huang Zu, although this person is vulgar and greedy for money, but he claims to be a famous man, he has come to visit me because of admiration, if I go to take a trip, I will be able to convince this person." Xun Yu asked for instructions.

"Gongda is willing to go, and it will be successful." Han Lie said overjoyed.

Jiangxia County Taishou Mansion.

Huang Zu, who learned that Xun You had come to visit, was quite happy to welcome Xun You out of the house and welcomed Xun You into the reception hall. After the two sides sat down, Xun You first complimented Huang Zu, and then presented a gift and said: "My lord general and Liu Zhijun formed an alliance to attack Sun Ce, and now they have obtained the land of Yuzhang, but Sun Ce's main force fled to Jingnan, and my lord executed the covenant and intended to crusade against Sun Ce in Jingnan, but the road is far away, and I want to use the port of Xiakou as a transit place, and I hope that the general can accept it." ”

Huang Zu silently glanced at the box of jewelry and jade presented by his subordinates, and said with a satisfied smile: "This matter is easy to hear, speaking of which, I also have a grudge against that Sun Ce for killing my father, in the past, Sun Wentai died at the hands of a sergeant in a certain army, if I can get rid of Sun Ce, I will also go to the trouble of a henchman." ”

"Ming Gong Shengming, although Sun Ce is young, but he has the courage of his father, here he often has a heart of revenge, once said that if he kills Ming Gong, he must pay tribute to his father with the head of Ming Gong, such a big enemy, it is appropriate to get rid of it as soon as possible." Xun Yu agreed, and lit another fire.

"What Mr. Gongda said is very true, this is my warrant, you can inform the general, with this warrant, Su Fei, the governor of Xiakou, will definitely arrange a camp for the general." The reason why Huang Zu has been able to control a big county like Jiangxia for many years is that he is a son of the Jingzhou Wang clan, and secondly, he has broken through the martial arts strategy and has tens of thousands of elite people under his hands.

"Ming Gong's great kindness, the general will have a retribution." Xun You received the warrant, and then raised the cup and said: "Here, a certain borrowed Ming Gong's wine, and then toast Ming Gong a glass, if it Ming Gong visits Yangzhou, I will be good Ming Gong." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say......" Huang Zu said with a hearty smile.

Soon after Xun You left, Su Fei, the governor of Xiakou, received a military order from Huang Zu, asking him to welcome the news that Yangzhou General Han Lie's soldiers and horses were stationed, Su Fei frowned, so he found his friend Gan Ning, who was stranded in Xiakou, and said: "Xingba, this is the military order that Huang Taishou just sent me, it seems that your wish can be fulfilled this time." ”

"Xiakou is the gateway to Jiangxia, Huang Taishou let the Jiangdong army station, aren't you afraid of luring wolves into the house?" Gan Ning glanced at his friend worriedly and said slowly.

"It's not up to you and me to decide this matter, haven't you been clamoring to go to Jiangdong to join General Han Lie, don't miss it, as a friend, I can only help you get here, if Huang Zu knows that you intend to take refuge in Han Lie, he will definitely not agree." Su Fei patted Gan Ning's shoulder.

"Huang Zu Xiao'er, but a reckless man, if he hadn't held my brothers and family hostage, I would have left a long time ago, how could I allow him to point fingers?" Speaking of this, Gan Ning was angry, at first he heard that Huang Zu was a celebrity, so he led hundreds of children to vote, but Huang Zu thought he was born as a bandit, and he actually despised him, and later learned that Gan Ning was strong in martial arts, so he hijacked the family of his brother, sealed Gan Ning's position as a primary school, and dragged Gan Ning in Jiangxia.
