Chapter 142: Breaking the Jiangxia and Taking Jingnan

Sun Jian is not a fool, where can he not hear the off-string sound between Zhang Zhao's words. Hurriedly stood up from his seat and said, "According to Zibu's meaning, the purpose of Sun Ling's trip is not my Wu County?" ”

When Sun Jian returned to Wu County, because he had no advisers to use, he found Zhang Zhao, who was known as a talent in Wu County. And Zhang Zhao did not disappoint Sun Jian, and repeatedly used clever tricks to allow Sun Jian to develop from Yuan Shu's influence to the point where he can compete with Yuan Shu today.

It can be said that Sun Jian can have his current strength, and Zhang Zhao's contribution is indispensable. So for Zhang Zhao, Sun Jian still trusts him very much.

"My lord! According to Zhao's opinion, the purpose of Sun Ling's trip is probably not to move troops against Yangzhou, but to see if we dare to use swords, if we act recklessly, the consequences will be unimaginable! Zhang Zhao said in a positive voice.

Zhang Zhao said these words to Sun Jian not because he guessed randomly, but because he really saw the cattiness of Sun Ling's trip.

In Zhang Zhao's opinion, with Sun Ling's troops, there is also that huge water division. If you really want to invade Wu County this time, you can attack Wu County before Sun Jian reacts, and you won't wait until now to make a move.

Moreover, the route of the Lang Evil Water Master is going up the Yangtze River, which is even more revealing. No one would think that Sun Ling, who was powerful and sat in the land of three states, was a fool. Since he is not a fool, and the purpose of his trip is not Yangzhou, there is only one purpose.

"Isn't it against Yangzhou? So is his real purpose Jingzhou? How could it be, didn't Liu Biao negotiate peace with 10,000 taels of gold and 10,000 stones of grain and grass? After hearing Zhang Zhao's words, Sun Jian suddenly figured out the joints and asked with a shocked expression.

"Thinking about it, the lord quickly passed the order, and let the people along the river move the sword and soldiers, otherwise it would be an excuse for Sun Ling to attack Wu Jun!" Thinking of the sailors arranged in Danyang County, Zhang Zhao hurriedly reminded Sun Jian.

After Zhang Zhao's reminder, Sun Jian also woke up suddenly, and said to Sun Ce: "Ce'er, you hurry to Danyang, let Gong Fu take all the warships back to the ferry, and when Sun Ling's army passes by, don't act rashly!" ”

The northern part of Yangzhou was occupied by Sun Jian, while Yuan Shu occupied the southern part of Yangzhou. At this moment, Yuan Shu was even more unbearable than Sun Jian, and when he heard that Sun Ling led his army to Yangzhou. He fled to Yuzhang County in a hurry and brought back most of his troops.

As it turned out, Zhang Zhao's guess was correct. Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, the two princes of Yangzhou, nested in their own nests, spent three days of suffering, and finally got the news that Sun Ling's army left Yangzhou and entered Jingzhou.

At Jiangxia Ferry, Cai Mao looked at the more than 20,000 soldiers below who were practicing and nodded with satisfaction. Today's Jingzhou, because of the loss of the 80,000 army, can be said to be stormy, and a little carelessness may be a catastrophe. In order to let his cheap brother-in-law Liu Biao continue to be his Jingzhou pastor. Cai Mao worked hard to train the soldiers, guarding the Jiangxia ferry to guard against Sun Jian in Yangzhou.

"General! Oh no, there is ...... There are boats! When Cai Mao was looking at these naval soldiers, fantasizing that he would one day lead them to break through Yangzhou, a lieutenant came to him, pointed in the direction of the ferry, and shouted with a panicked expression.

"What a panic! Haven't seen a ship yet? Cai Mao, who was fantasizing, was suddenly awakened by the captain's shout. frowned, and scolded with a displeased expression.

Seeing that Cai Mao didn't understand what he meant, this captain was also so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Hurriedly calmed down, swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and then continued to speak: "General, that's not an ordinary ship. There are a lot of building ships and fighting ships, and there is one ...... Yes! ”

Feeling the wetness on his cheeks, he reached out and wiped it on his cheeks stiffly, looking at the blood on his fingers, and the captain on the ground who was still talking to him just now, and was instantly pressed by a boulder falling from the sky, Cai Mao came to his senses, and shouted sadly to the sailor soldiers below who didn't know what was happening: "Enemy attack!" ”

With Cai Mao's terrible shout, the soldiers of the entire Jiangxia ferry immediately moved, and 20,000 sailor soldiers, under the leadership of their respective generals, rushed towards the warships on the edge of the ferry.

After getting on the boat upstairs, Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief. walked onto the deck and looked towards the front of the ferry, wanting to know how many warships Sun Jian had sent this time.

However, when Cai Mao saw the giant battleship, as well as the building ships and fighting ships that covered almost the entire Jiangxia ferry. Cai Mao's body was constantly falling backwards, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

A giant ship that has never been seen before, hundreds of building ships, and thousands of fighting ships. When did Sun Jian have a water army of this size? Can you hold on to your own 20 building ships and less than 500 fighting ships?

Not only did Cai Mao have this kind of doubt in his heart, but the Jiangxia sailors who got on the warship at this time were also frightened by the formation in front of them. Isn't that bullying? Let's not talk about how many enemy troops there are, just that huge ship, and those ships that are several times their size, do you still have to fight this battle?

"Give the order to go down, put all the boats on the ferry, and then move all the catapults on the ship back to the ferry, and everyone get off the boat to block the incoming enemy!" Seeing that the building boat on the opposite side had already begun to cross the hull, seeing that the posture was to bombard the Jiangxia ferry with a catapult, Cai Mao hurriedly ordered to the deputy beside him.

For a fleet of this size, Cai Mao really had no confidence, and could only come up with this compromise method with the poor twenty building ships against the enemy, hoping to rely on the convenience of the terrain to block this fleet outside the ferry.

After receiving Cai Mao's order, the soldiers of the Jiangxia Navy carried the catapults off the building ship with the boulders flying all over their heads.

On the Lang Evil, Wen Ping stood on the female wall that stood on the deck, looking at the building ships that stood across the Jiangxia ferry, forming a barrier, and the soldiers who were carrying catapults from the boats and returning to the ferry, and couldn't help but admire Cai Mao's move.

"Lord, it seems that the commander of the naval army at the Jiangxia ferry is also the essence of water warfare. Knowing that a head-on battle is not the opponent of our army, they will use those building boats to form a barrier, and then they will use those catapults to block our army in the ferry. After looking at the layout on the opposite side, Wen Ping introduced to Sun Ling beside him.

"Do you know who the commander of the navy on the other side is?" Hearing Wen Ping say this, Sun Ling didn't seem to be worried that he would be hindered by this, but asked like this.

"It should be that Cai Mao, I have long heard that he is training sailors at Jiangxia Ferry, and now that I see it, I do have some ability." Wen Ping replied.

After getting Wen Ping's reply, Sun Ling's eyes suddenly lit up. Good guys, what is really missing! It just so happens that the Lang Evil Water Master is now short of this kind of talent.

Thinking of this, Sun Ling looked down at Dian Wei under the female wall and said, "Pass the order, that Cai Mao I want to live!" ”

After Dian Wei left, Sun Ling looked at the buildings and boats standing sideways, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a wicked smile: "Zhongye, let's start!" ”

Hearing Sun Ling's words, Wen Ping jumped off the women's wall without saying a word, and shouted at the upper wheelhouse: "Lang Evil, the target enemy building ship, full speed and full speed!" ”

After Wen Ping's order was issued, the Lang Xie immediately turned its bow from the horizontal river to the Jiangxia ferry, and then began to speed up. And behind the Lang Evil, those building ships and fighting ships also followed.

Looking at the Lang Evil that was getting faster and faster, rushing towards the ferry, Cai Mao couldn't help but be a little puzzled. What does this giant ship want to do? Didn't they see themselves standing on the side of the ferry?

"General, the bow of that giant ship is equipped with iron spikes, and there seems to be iron sheets around the hull!" Cai Mao's deputy pointed to the Lang Evil Horn coming at high speed, and shouted with a frightened expression.

Iron thorns? Tin? Hearing the deputy's words, Cai Mao raised his head and looked in the direction of his finger, and when he saw the hideous iron thorns shining with black light in front of the Lang Evil, as well as the black iron sheets on the hull that were shining in the sun, he roared in horror: "Everyone retreat!" ”

On the Lang Evil, Sun Ling heard Cai Mao's roar. Clenched the fine iron spear in his hand, felt the speed of the Lang Evil because of the activation of the two huge water wheels, and increased again, looking at the buildings and ships in front of the Lang Evil, Sun Ling secretly said in his heart: I only realized now that it was too late!

In the eyes of those Jiangxia sailors who didn't have time to dodge, the bow of the Lang Evil first penetrated a building ship that was lying in front of them, and then ...... There was no then, because these sailors who didn't have time to dodge were either knocked into the air by the Lang Evil that rushed straight out, or they were crushed into meat foam by the iron sheet at the bottom of the Lang Evil......

First, the Badao battalion boarded the Jiangxia ferry and broke the Jiangxia naval army led by Cai Mao, and Cai Mao was captured. Then Sun Ling led the 20,000 Badao battalion to break through Wuling County, and Wuling Taishou Kuai Yue was captured. After that, all the counties south of Jingzhou were directly surrendered to the counties south of Jingzhou.

"Less than ten days, less than ten days! That's what you said about agreeing to the strike?! Pinching the battle report in his hand and throwing it on Kuai Liang's face, Liu Biao trembled with anger, sat down on the seat, and said with a pale face.

Regarding Liu Biao's question, Kuai Liang didn't know how to answer at this time. People have already laid down most of Jingzhou, so what's the use of talking about this now? Anyway, according to the form of Jingzhou, as long as Sun Ling goes north with the sword battalion, he can't stop it at all! And his younger brother Kuai Yue is now also in the hands of Sun Ling. What can he say?

"How can you be presumptuous in front of the Great Elder, get out of here!" Just when Liu Biao and Kuai Liang were silent in the house, a scolding suddenly came from outside the door.

Hearing this scolding outside the door, Liu Biao, whose face was pale, suddenly woke up, ran to the door from the seat, and opened the door. Then, in the stunned eyes of the guards at the door, he fell in front of the purple-clothed woman in front of him, and wailed, "Great Elder save me!" ”

Under the veil, Yue glanced at Liu Biao, who was wailing on the ground with those indifferent eyes, and said in a crisp voice with a coldness like winter: "Since he is here, it proves that it was a mistake for us to choose you in the first place!" I'll go see him, but afterwards you have nothing to do with my yin and yang faction! ”
