The sixth year of Jian'an, April 4.

In the silence of the night, the rolling river seems to beat the rocks on both sides of the river rhythmically, making a 'whooshing' sound.

On the vast river, a huge fleet of ships is silently marching against the tide, and thousands of small warships are guarding the perimeter of more than ten large ships, densely packed, almost filling the entire river.

Wang Chong, wearing a white tiger and bright silver armor, stood on the bow of the boat, holding the female wall with one hand and the sword at his waist with the other, his deep eyes silently staring at the vast dark night ahead, and the oncoming cold river made the red cloak behind him blow the hunting sound.

Jinfan's dispatch this time was very secretive, and even with the departure of Wang Chong and Jia Xu, only a few people knew about it in Anhui City, and the purpose was naturally to kill the Jingzhou army by surprise.

The attack on Exian was the result agreed upon by Wang Chong and Jia Xu a long time ago, and for this reason, the dark department paid a lot of price in nearly half a year before it finally broke into the interior of Exian.

In fact, in the lower reaches of Exian County, there are still three county towns in the hands of the Jingzhou army, namely Xunyang and Qichun on the north bank, and Xia Pheasant on the south bank.

Exian can be said to be the most important military fortress in the entire Jiangxia, if Wang Chong chose to attack the target of the pheasant or Xunyang, then Huang Zu, who got the news in advance, will inevitably send a large army to enter Exian, and at that time, the battle between the two sides is very likely to evolve into a long tug-of-war, and this is obviously not what Wang Chong wants to see.

On the contrary, if Jinfan captures Exian first. Then the three counties of Xiapheasant, which is already small and has fallen into the encirclement of Jinfan, will naturally become Jinfan's bag.

"Brother, what time is it?"

Gan Ning glanced at the missing carving placed not far away. Said: "It's more than half of the hour! ”

Wang Chong nodded thoughtfully: "In this way, my army is about to arrive in Exian, right?" ”

"A quarter of an hour will be almost!" Gan Ning paused as he spoke, and asked Wang Chongdao, "Shaolin, Ziyang is okay over there, right?" ”

Wang Chong said with a smile: "With Ziyang's wisdom and eight hundred iron guards and tigers, it is easy to take Exian County." In front of us, there are two choices, one is to storm the water village. Break through to the city of Exian in the shortest possible time, and then join up with Ziyangli in the city, when the battle can be ended before dawn; The two made a feint to attack the water village and lure the Yellow Shooting army out of the city. So. Ziyang can take Exian County without much effort, and when the heart of the Yellow Shooting Army is fluctuating, he will naturally not be able to stop the onslaught of tens of thousands of lions in my Jinfan. Compared with the two, the former takes less time, and the latter is relatively safe! ”

Exian County is frequently close to the riverside, the two are not more than a few miles apart, and at the junction, there is a large water village. There are still 3,000 Jingzhou sailors stationed in it, if Jinfan wants to come to the city of Exian. It is inevitable to capture this water village first.

"So is Shaolin going to choose the former or the latter?"

"The latter, of course!" Wang Chong sneered, "If the battle ends before dawn, it is very likely that the yellow shooting boy will escape by the night, so it is better to delay it for a few more hours, and then give the yellow shooting a fatal blow when the sky is bright!" ”

As soon as Wang Chong's words came out, a burst of murderous intent suddenly surged out of Gan Ning's eyes: "Shaolin, I want to avenge Zi Pre's revenge with my own hands, Huang Jie's head, don't rob me!" ”

Wang Chong smiled bitterly: "Brother, it's useless for you to tell me this, don't forget that Zigang has been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and pouted: "The military order is like a mountain, don't you just let this bastard attack when the time comes?" ”

Wang Chong spread his hands and said helplessly: "Brother, believe it or not, if I don't let him go to war, will he really dare to disobey the military order?" ”

Gan Ning's face changed slightly, and then he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Forget it, then you better let him get on, anyway, his horse is not as fast as mine, I don't believe he can compete with me!" ”

Although Ren Jiang is Wang Chong and Gan Ning's old brother in Jinfan, but as Gan Ning just said, military orders are like mountains, if Ren Jiang really disobeyed military orders in the war, then even if their personal relationship is good, Wang Chong and Gan Ning have to deal with him with military law, after all, if they are covering up for personal gain, how will they lead the army in the future? And how can you convince your corporals?

Obviously, Gan Ning was awakened by Wang Chong, and instead of letting Ren Jiang violate military law and go to war without authorization, it was better to let him go out to fight directly.

"Lord, Governor, Exian has arrived!" At this time, Sun Ben stepped forward to report.

Wang Chong glanced at Sun Ben deeply, and said lightly: "In this case, send an order to the Yuan Dynasty and let him lead his headquarters to attack Shuizhai, remember to remind him, don't attack too fiercely, our purpose is mainly to lure out the yellow shot of Exian, before that, attacking Shuizhai too early will destroy our plan!" ”

"No!" Sun Ben replied and turned away silently.

Looking at Sun Ben's distant back, Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Sun Ben is a person with good ability, if it wasn't for Le Jin to capture Nanchang first, with his small family as a threat, Gan Ning wants to take Sun Ben, I'm afraid he will have to pay a lot of price, but Sun Ben is a member of the Sun clan, and his younger brother Sun Fu also died at the hands of Jinfan, so although he was forced to surrender Jinfan, his loyalty has not been high, just floating around 70, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Chong did not dare to rashly entrust him with a heavy responsibility, and only arranged him to serve as a deputy general by Gan Ning's side.

"Kill !!"

A moment later, Dong Xi began to attack the water village, and the earth-shattering war drums and shouts of killing instantly broke the silence of the night.

"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack!! ”

The Jingzhou naval army that had already slept in the water village was like a frightened bird, one by one carrying weapons, and rushed out of the camp tent in disheveled clothes, obviously, they did not have the slightest psychological preparation for the sudden attack of Jinfan, if it were not for Wang Chong to borrow them to draw out the yellow shot, and change the open attack to a secret attack, it would be possible to easily take this water village within half an hour.

Under the command of Dong Xian, Jinfan's crossbowmen quickly suppressed the panicked enemy soldiers on the arrow tower, and the continuous screams resounded, and the Jingzhou naval army was almost in chaos in the water village.

The guards of the water village climbed the arrow tower under the escort of a team of sword and shield soldiers, and when they looked out along the firelight, their faces were suddenly frightened and extremely gloomy, because the torches that were lit at some point on the river were like stars in the sky, and there was no end in sight.

The Shuizhai guard couldn't help but gasp, this Nima has such a large fleet, I'm afraid the number of people is at least 30,000, right?

In the next second, the frightened guard with weak legs immediately shouted hoarsely: "Someone! Fast! Hurry up and go to Exian County to inform General Huang that Jinfan's army is coming, and ask him to quickly send troops to the rescue!! (To be continued.) )
