Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian led the sailors to attack the Song River with Tongque's subordinate general Huan Wen, and the two sides launched a water battle with Poyang Lake.

The water surface of Poyang Lake was in flames, smoke was billowing, and hundreds of small warships were burned.

Song Jiang's walking boats and fishing boats faced a regular sailor composed of building ships, fighting ships, and warships, and were quickly defeated.

Sun Jian didn't give Song Jiang and his generals any chance to fight alone, and used a big boat to ram and sink Song Jiang's fishing boat, and the fire was all over the sky and poured down.

The fishing boats were filled with fire arrows, and black smoke billowed from them.

Song Jiang, under the protection of the reckless man Li Kui, fled back to the water village.

Song Jiang's subordinates were disgraced and defeated in the face of the attack of the Jiangdong Tigers. He returned to the water village and gathered thousands of water bandits and village warriors to defend the village.

People in the water village are panicking.

In the area of Poyang Lake, they are also a large force, but compared with the real princes, regardless of the pattern and the quality of the legion, the water bandit troops of Song Jiang are at a disadvantage.

Hundreds of warships surrounded the water village, and the building ships blocked the exit of the water village.

Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Liu Gaozhi (generals of the Tongque Beifu Army) led their troops to attack by land and block all roads.

Song Jiang wanted to break through, but the opponent's bow and crossbow were suppressed and retreated.

"Big brother, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian sent someone to recruit An!"

At present, Zhang Shun, the commander of Song Jiang's sailors, came down from a ship with more than a dozen small minions, and also brought a military general.

The person sent by Sun Jian was carrying a long knife in his hand, and his attitude towards Song Jiang and the others was a little contemptuous.

In Han Dang's eyes, Song Jiang and his gang were just water bandits.

Li Kui, Liu Tang, and Dong Ping followed Song Jiang's side, and when they saw Han Dang's arrogant attitude, their faces were unhappy.

Han Dang said: "My lord wants to recruit you and serve my lord, and you are not allowed to plunder the people of Poyang Lake in the future, and my lord will give you military salaries." ”

Song Jiang's face showed a different color, or rather, he seemed to be quite tempted by Sun Jian's recruitment.

Li Kui was the first to stand up and object: "What kind of person is our eldest brother, just by you, you also want to recruit us?" Let's see if my Ghost King Axe agrees! ”

Another strong man with a cinnabar mark on his sideburns also stood up: "We have so many heroes, we may not be able to defeat any Jiangdong Tigers!" ”

Han Dang looked at the black whirlwind and the red-haired ghost, with a murderous aura in his eyes, which made Li Kui and Liu Tang couldn't help but be timid.

Han Dang followed Sun Jian at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and was one of the four generals of Jiangdong, and the enemies he killed on the battlefield were much more than those of Li Kui and Liu Tang.

In the face of the murderous aura of professional generals, Li Kui and Liu Tang will also feel afraid.

"Please go back and inform Taishou-sama, and give us a day to think about it."

Song Jiang struggled between recruiting and resisting.

"One day later, if you don't surrender and break through the water village, all those who resist will be executed!"

After Han Dang left, the Shuizhai Juyi Hall was silent.

Sun Jian not only brought Changsha soldiers, but also the Beifu army sent by Tongque, both armies are extremely capable of fighting, Song Jiang recruited most of the Liangshan army and Xiangyong who did not need to pay military salaries, and in the face of a really strong army, there was no ability to resist at all.

Song Jiang sat on the main seat and asked Wu Yong, the military advisor who had taken refuge in him, "Military advisor, what do you think we should do?" ”

Wu Yong saw that Song Jiang had the intention of accepting Sun Jian's persuasion to surrender, but he had to go down one step: "The brothers gathered in this righteous hall from all directions, just to mix a bite of food to eat. In my opinion, Changsha is too protective of Sun Jian's bravery and good at fighting, so it is better to take refuge in him for the time being. If Sun Jian treats any of his brothers badly, we will turn against him. ”

"That's exactly what happened. I, Song Gongming, will not let any of my brothers suffer, nor can I let my brothers die in this battle. ”

Song Jiang opened his mouth, and more than a dozen generals glanced at each other, and finally the minority obeyed the majority and chose to recruit An.

"I'm afraid that if we take refuge in Sun Jian, we can't drink wine and eat meat in large pieces, wantonly kill people, how can we be happy to be water bandits."

Li Kui is still dissatisfied.

However, Song Jiang did not have the idea of serving as the leader of the water bandits for a long time or being self-reliant, and in the face of the Jiangdong Tigers, accepting Zhao'an was undoubtedly a way out for Song Jiang.

The next day, Song Jiang led his military advisor Wu Yong and more than a dozen green forest heroes to surrender to Sun Jian.

On Sun Jian's boat, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, as well as Sun Jian, Sun Ce's father and son, and Tongque's subordinate generals Huan Wen and Liu Jiaozhi, had an invisible killing aura, so that Song Jiang was a little nervous.

If Sun Jian is in trouble at this time, then Song Jiang and his party will all have their heads on the ground.

If this is the rule of the world, Sun Jian is a party too guarded, and he will really kill Song Jiang and his party directly and ask the court for credit.

However, now are troubled times, and even a group of bandits and reckless men have a specific use. Like the Yellow Turban Thief General and the Taishan Thief General, Sun Jian believes that Song Jiang and his party have the value of use.

Sun Jian's eyes swept over Song Jiang and his party.

Song Jiang currently has only a dozen generals, including a female general with a double sword hanging from her waist, a military general with a double spear, and a military general with a bow on his back.

Sun Jian was not interested in female generals, he paid more attention to generals with guns and bows, and asked Song Jiang: "Who are these two generals?" ”

"Dong Ping, the two-gun general!"

"Xiao Li Guanghuarong!"

Two people reported their names.

Sun Jian admired the force of the two men, so he assigned them to be his subordinates. As for the others, they were still under Song Jiang's moderation.

This was also one of the methods used by Sun Jian to divide the forces of Song Jiang.

If they want to go to the highest-armed generals under Song Jiang's command, they will be divided into two groups and suspect each other.

Sure enough, Song Jiang's other generals were dissatisfied with Dong Ping and Hua Rong.

Wu Yong and Song Jiang seemed to be aware of Sun Jian's intentions, but since they had accepted Zhao'an, they could not resist in the face of the transfer of the lord.

"You command the soldiers and horses, and follow me to attack Hefei."

"Song Jiang has an order."

After Song Jiang surrendered, Zhang Shun was the commander of the water division, commanding thousands of soldiers and horses, and followed Sun Jian to act together.

Sun Jian did not expect the combat capability of the Liangshan Army, but attached great importance to the force of his generals, believing that it could be used.

In order to make meritorious contributions in front of Sun Jian and gain Sun Jian's trust, Song Jiang volunteered and sent scouts to Hefei to listen to information.

……

Hefei City, the defender of this city changed from Zang Ba to Zhang Liao, and the military division was Lu Su, which belonged to the establishment of the Huainan Defense Corps.

The Huainan Defensive Corps was actually divided into three troops, Hefei, Shouchun, and Guangling, with a total strength of as many as 100,000, and the defenders were Zhang Liao, Liu Fu, and Chen Deng, all of whom were natives in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

A woman came to Hefei City.

Xueyue, who is currently in charge of collecting intelligence through Inhumans, has already learned the information from Jiangdong, so she made a special trip to Hefei to inform the main general Zhang Liao to guard against the enemy army from Jiangdong.

"Changsha Taishou Sun Jian is the righteous brother of Yangzhou Shepherd Bronze Sparrow, is preparing soldiers and horses in Chaisang, going down the river, directly taking Hefei, please have to defend. If Hefei is lost, Shouchun is in danger and Huainan is in danger. ”

"Miss Lao sent her information. As long as Zhang Wenyuan is in Hefei for a day, they will not be able to cross Hefei. ”

Zhang Liao took charge for the first time, this was Chutian's test for him, and it was also out of trust in Zhang Liao, which allowed Zhang Liao to lead the troops alone.

As the front line, Hefei is facing a threat from Jiangdong, and the pressure is actually very great.

Ordinary guards, Chu Tian is not at ease, but if it is Zhang Liao, then Chu Tian is still quite relieved.

In Hefei, Zhang Liao is the master.

Xueyue also knew Zhang Liao's prestige, and reminded Zhang Liao of the matter: "Please rest assured General Zhang, the main guild will mobilize two or three generals from among the people in Hebei to Shouchun." If the situation on the front line is unfavorable, they will immediately come to their aid. ”

"If there are other reinforcements, the defense of Hefei is one percent more certain."

Lu Su, who served as a military adviser in Hefei, heard that Chutian would send two or three generals back from the generals who attacked Hebei, and he was confident.

Lu Su has been training by Chu Tian's side for two or three years, and has seen the national war of hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, and it is really nothing to be ordered to defend Hefei at this time.

Lu Su, as the governor of Eastern Wu in history, had to deal with Sun Jian and Sun Ce's father and son at this time......

After learning of Jiangdong's movements in advance, Zhang Liao, Lu Su, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan urgently strengthened the city defense of Hefei and trained soldiers and horses.

Hefei garrison 40,000 soldiers, including 2,000 and state wolf horse, for Zhang Liao's headquarters of soldiers and horses, after the battle of Yuzhou, follow Zhang Liao to use the teleportation array to arrive in Shouchun, and then moved to Hefei.

The remaining more than 30,000 soldiers are county soldiers, ranging from the first to the third order, which can be used to defend the city, and lack some combat power in the field battles out of the city.

Therefore, Lu Su believes that defense should be the mainstay.

In addition to strengthening the city defense and training soldiers and horses, Lusu moved the people outside the city into Hefei City to prevent the population from being plundered by the Jiangdong army.

Population is also an important resource.

Sun Guan limped along the city wall, and all the soldiers were in awe of him.

Although Taishan thieves Zang Ba and Sun Guan were born as thieves, their status in Chutian's power was not low, because they made a lot of contributions to the expansion of Chutian's power, and they were seriously injured because of this, leaving hidden dangers.

They can also be regarded as the elders of the Chutian forces, and the two of them are already generals at present.

Zang Ba, who had only one eye left, looked in the direction of the water, and still faithfully guarded the gate for Chutian: "When the Jiangdong army comes to attack, there is a chance that it will come from the water, and use ships to transport infantry, siege equipment, grain and grass. ”

"Big brother, our main force is in Hebei, there are only a few generals guarding Hefei, and Huainan has no generals to adjust except for Liu Fu and Chen Deng, this time, maybe it will be a hard battle."

Sun Guan walked over, his words full of worry.

It's not that Sun Guan is cowardly, he is just expounding the basic facts, Hefei's troops are indeed insufficient for defense.

"My brother doesn't know how many fierce battles he has gone through to get to his current position, and this time, he will risk his life again."

Zang Ba's eyes also gradually became serious.

Before the Chutian forces marched to Hebei, they knew that the princes of Jiangdong would not remain indifferent.

If Koto wants to defeat the Central Plains, there is no better time than this.

Huainan is an eternal pain for the Jiangdong forces.

The population outside Hefei was moved into the city by Lusu, and among them was a peasant, looking around from time to time.

His abilities worked so well that the officers defending the city did not take it seriously, treating him as an ordinary peasant.

"The garrison in this city is tight, and tens of thousands of people have been moved to the city to defend it, I am afraid that they have already known that we are going to attack Hefei. They also checked it very much, if it weren't for my ability, most likely my spy identity would have been revealed. ”

Shi Qian, a scout sent by Song Jiang, has a special ability to probe the defenders in the city.

Seeing the martial law in Hefei, Zang Ba and Sun Guan personally led the soldiers to patrol, and sometimes the main general Zhang Liao would also take a team of armor soldiers to patrol, and he was shocked.

The Chutian forces must have deployed scouts in the Lujiang and Chaisang areas, so when Lujiang and Chaisang gathered troops, Hefei immediately strengthened the city defenses.

The city wall of Hefei has been repaired to a height of ten meters, like a fortress.

Chu Tian knew that the wooden arrow tower was easy to be ignited and destroyed by the opponent's fire arrows, so he built a large number of stone arrow towers, horse faces, and stone towers, mainly with stronger stone fortifications. At the same time, a large number of consumables such as stones, rolling logs, yakshas, fire oil, arrows, etc., and dozens of double-bow bed crossbows and three-bow bed crossbows were piled up in the city.

"There may be spies in Jiangdong who may be mixed up in the city, and if you encounter suspicious people, you will check more."

Xueyue came to Hefei in person, in addition to informing Zhang Liao, there was also a purpose, which was to prevent the spies of the Jiangdong Army from entering Hefei.

The intelligence of the scouts is crucial for marching and fighting.

While the various princes were fighting, their scouts were secretly fighting.

It's just that the guild of Xueyue is hidden behind the scenes, and the brocade clothes travel at night.

At present, Xueyue is still only the city lord of a city, but in fact, she has relatively high real power, and she is one of the high-level of Chutian's forces, and she claims to be the city lord to the outside world.

The guild's Inhuman scouts began to investigate the scouts that the Jiangdong Army might send in Hefei City.

Wet Xushui, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, led his headquarters of soldiers and horses, the Liangshan army that was subdued, and a force that originally belonged to Yuan Shu - Ji Ling, Lei Bo, Lujiang Haoqiang Mei Cheng, a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, attacked Hefei from the waterway.

As for Huan Wen and Liu Gaozhi, guard Chaisang and guard against the enemy from Jingzhou.

Tongque did not fully trust Yang Shilang in Jingzhou, because Yang Shilang had ambitions to annex Jiangdong. Moreover, Tongque's scouts heard that Yang Shilang was hoarding soldiers and horses in Jiangling, and his intentions were unknown.

After Sun Jian recovered Song Jiang and his group, his power swelled, and he could obtain two generals, Dong Ping and Hua Rong, and Sun Jian was quite satisfied.

Maybe Sun Jian couldn't have imagined that Song Jiang chose to surrender soon after losing the water battle.

Sun Ce pointed to the city in front of him: "Father, the front is Hefei City, we need to get off the ship and assemble before we can attack Hefei." ”

Sun Jian looked at the city of Hefei and couldn't help but sigh: "From the great river to the north, to get Hefei, you can ask Shen and Cai in the west, and Xu and Shou in the north, and compete for victory in the Central Plains." The Central Plains has Hefei, and it will strangle the south of the Yangtze River and carry it back. It is no wonder that the righteous brother wants to take advantage of Chu Zimou to go north and compete for Hefei. Command all the armies to go ashore and set up camp. ”

Under the command of Sun Jian, a total of four legions went ashore, the Jingnan Legion, the Liangshan Legion, the remnants of Yuan Shu, and the Lujiang Haoqiang, of which the main force was Sun Jian's headquarters soldiers and horses.

100,000 people, stationed outside the city of Hefei, with ships to transport grain, grass, weapons, siege equipment, quite convenient.

"I'm going to face Chu Zimou's army again."

Song Jiang seemed to think of a few years ago.
