Huang Zhong's department unexpectedly laid out Cheng Yin's ten pawns, and Zongsheng! , but it is the danger of Xi Zuofeng's key. When Huang Zhong's army escorted the soldiers to the front of Linjin Pass, Xu Huang had already sent troops to meet him.

Huang Zhong led Pang De forward. Xu Huang immediately greeted him. He arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to Hansheng for making another great contribution." After saying that, he arched his hand to Pound.

The two had met on the battlefield and had already met, Huang Zhong only briefly introduced a few words, and then said: "Zhong did not expect to meet unexpectedly this time, but it was luck." On the contrary, it was Gongming, who received an urgent report from Hedong and resolutely sent troops, relieved the danger in Hedong, and bought time for the lord, and the lord will definitely be rewarded heavily. ”

Xu Huang smiled humbly and said, "Hansheng has won the award." ”

Huang Zhong smiled and said, "Gongming." Zhong had already interrogated the captives, and was ready to withdraw his troops back to Anding, although General Hua had already invaded Anding. But he wants to take Xiaoguan first, and then counterattack to stabilize the southeast. Zhong feared that his army would meet Han Sui's army. At that time, the Lord's strategy of blockading the Northwest Pass will encounter obstacles. Therefore, Zhong was ready to lead his troops north to block Han Sui's army. Don't let him return to his teacher to settle down. ”

Xu Huang heard this, thought about it and said: "Han Sheng's intention is very good, Huang originally wanted Han Sheng to lead troops into Hedong, and now Yuan Shao is in Bingzhou Tun's army. I'm afraid that if I want to get involved in Hedong and Hanoi, both places are empty and have to be guarded against. ”

Huang Zhong heard it and said: "There are not many soldiers in the Gang Sui Division, just lead 10,000 elite cavalry to block Han Sui, and Zhongliu Lingming will lead 10,000 troops into Hedong and Hanoi with Gongming, and be stationed in various dangerous passes." In case of Yuan Shao.

Xu Huang heard it and said with a smile: "With the help of Lingming, Hedong and Hanoi are as stable as Mount Tai." ”

After hearing this, Pang De arched his hand and said humbly: "General Xu praised it falsely. ”

Huang Zhong led 10,000 cavalry to the north to chase Han Sui, while Xu Huang left thousands of soldiers to guard the palace at Linjin Pass, and then ordered 15,000 infantry to cross the Yellow River east with Pang De's 10,000 cavalry, enter Hedong, and divide them to Hedong and Hanoi passes to prevent Yuan Shao from moving.

Xu Huang led 40,000 recruits out of Chang'an, and only less than 20,000 were left in the battle, and half of the dead and disabled were killed. However, after this baptism of fire, in addition to the increase in combat power, the survival rate of these recruits on the battlefield should have increased a lot.

Linjin Pass has been fighting hard and hard, but Nanyang has turned around several times. It is said that after Gan Ning broke the Ji Ling army under Wancheng that day, he immediately followed Zhuge Jin's order and led the water army to destroy the pontoon bridge erected by Yuan Shujun on top of the water. At this time, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun had already joined forces, and the soldiers were under Wancheng, and suddenly heard that the pontoon bridge was destroyed. The two were shocked. The destruction of the floating sedan meant that the grain road was cut off, so after the two discussed, they immediately sent a message to Cai Mao, asking him to send the Jingzhou Navy to go up the water to deal with the Nanyang Navy Army.

After Cai Mao received Ji Ling's message, he naturally knew that in their plan, it was Yuan Shu's troops who really fought against Zhang Xiu, if their grain route was cut off and they couldn't capture Wancheng, Jingzhou would also suffer. And Cai Mao is even more jealous of a water army emerging in Nanyang. Zhang Xiu's command was all cavalry. The strength of the battle can be called the crown of the Han Dynasty, and the Jingzhou army is far from being Zhang Xiu's opponent, and Jingzhou's only reliance is the navy.

Now that I heard that there was a Nanyang Navy coming out, Cai Mao Zhan, the idea that he had to be eliminated when he was weak, so he didn't bargain with Ji Ling's messenger, and he responded in one bite. In terms of ability, Cai Mao still has it, and she is definitely not a straw bale. Especially commanding the naval army to fight, I only see that he has been in a high position in Jingzhou in history, and later after the surrender of Jingzhou, Cao Cao let his Mao train the naval army, and Zhou Yu was jealous of him in Eastern Wu. If you want to use counter-scheming, you will know that Cai Mao is very skilled. However, Cai Mao is capable. But the shortcomings of people are also obvious, everything is based on themselves and their families, in fact, this is also a vice of ordinary family children, not only Cai Mao.

The appearance of the Nanyang Navy this time made Cai Mao feel the crisis, if the Nanyang Navy can match the Jingzhou Navy Army, then Jingzhou will be difficult to stop Zhang Xiu's iron hooves going south, plus this time he tore his face with Zhang Xiu and attacked Nanyang, with Zhang Xiu's character, he will definitely settle accounts with Liu Biao and Jingzhou afterwards.

Cai Mao's Cai family and Jingzhou Liu Biao are already dependent on each other, Cai Mao thinks about the family, and must protect Liu Biao and Jingzhou, and do not let Zhang Xiu get involved. Thinking of this, Cai Mao immediately caught the key water army that was fighting with Zhang Xiu!

So Cai Mao immediately brought Wen Ping over and asked him to lead his troops here to continue to surround Fancheng. Although Cai Mao doesn't like Wen Ping too much, but looking at the generals of the whole army, only Wen Ping has the ability to lead the troops to fight wits and courage with Huang Xu, after the previous battle that was smashed and defeated by the thunderbolt car, Cai Mao no longer dares to underestimate Huang Xu, and Cai Mao can only use Wen Ping to lead the troops when no one is available.

After instructing Wen Hi, Cai Mao led Cai Zhong and Cai He, as well as 10,000 sailors, to prepare to annihilate Zhang Xiu's Nanyang Navy in one fell swoop, so as to eliminate future troubles.

But what Cai Mao didn't know was that he walked on the front foot. Later, Huangfu Hong had already come out of Shangyong, went down the Han River, and led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Xiangyang City. According to Zhuge Jin's calculations, it should be easy for five thousand elite soldiers to sneak attack the empty Xiangyang City, but Zhuge Rough underestimated Liu Biao too much, or Liu Biao's ability to build turtle shells.

Since the last tripartite battle with Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu, and Liu Biao, Liu Biao was forced by Zhang Xiu to almost lose the last two counties, and Liu Biao has learned from the pain. It was decided to build Xiangyang City into a first-class city in the world, after a few years, Xiangyang City is no longer the small county town it used to be, and in terms of defensive ability, it is not much better than Zhang Xiu's Wancheng.

With 5,000 soldiers sneak attack on Xiangyang Jiancheng, it naturally ended in failure, and the Huangfu Mansion saw the failure of the attack on Xiangyang, and immediately asked the soldiers to lay several cross-river iron cables at the junction of Hanshui and Xiaoshui. Blocking the entry and exit of ships. Wen Ping over there, though, knows. But because the warships were all taken away by Cai Mao, there was nothing they could do. The soldiers on Xiangyang City were enough to defend, and it was too difficult to attack out of the city, so the Han River and the water were directly locked by the Huangfu Hong's army, and no boats, including the people's fishing boats, could enter or exit.

The Hengjiang iron cable was pulled up, first of all, the grain route from Xiangyang to Wenpin's army was cut off, and the grain ships in Xiangyang City could not transport grain across the Han River to Wenpin, and secondly, the return route of Cai Mao's army was cut off.

When Cai Mao, who marched north, led the Jingzhou Navy to Xinye and Di County, there was no trace of the Nanyang Navy now, and Cai Mao immediately knew that the Nanyang Navy was avoiding the war. Yi Xunshu is concave and said that he is not the same as the body of the clam, and he just happened to receive the seal of the clerk. Cai Mao led Zixiao to Nanyang's side, and it was his Jingzhou Navy that had to be calculated.

On the warship, Cai Mao smiled coldly, tore up the letter sent by Wen Cheng in a few clicks, and ordered: "Pass the order down and return to Fancheng." ”

Cai Zhong heard it and said curiously: "Big brother, aren't we going to destroy the Nanyang Water Army?" Why do you want to go back to the teacher? ”

Cai Mao snorted lightly, obviously dissatisfied with his brother's straw bag, and finally replied with a sigh: "Even if we continue to move forward, the Nanyang Navy has the intention to avoid the battle, and we can't find them." In this case, it is better to let them come out according to their wishes, and annihilate them in a battle. ”

Cai Zhong was confused when he heard it, and he only knew that he was submissive, and Cai Mao saw and knew his brother's virtue, so he didn't explain it anymore. Only the order was given to the army to return home. When Cai Mao's army arrived at the mouth of the water and saw the big iron cable of the Hengjiang River that had been pulled up, the faces of the sailors and soldiers changed color. Cai Maowang asked the sailors to turn the bow of the ship. There was a drum sound from behind, and countless warships went down the river from behind, and surrounded the Jingzhou naval army with the horizontal general iron cable.

The Jingzhou Navy changed color in unison, but Cai Mao alone had a murderous aura in his eyes, and sneered: "Just with these books and yachts, I want to deal with the warships of our Jingzhou Army, Jiang Zhi is a joke." After a pause, he said to the flag bearer: "Pass the order." The armies are preparing for battle, and now there is no way to retreat, and the only way to survive is to crush the enemy army! The enemy army is just a new recruit, in terms of water warfare, my Jingzhou naval army is a hero! Kill! After finishing speaking, Cai Mao immediately took out the sword at his waist and pointed forward.

The battle between the Nanyang Navy and the Jingzhou Navy is about to start!

The handsome flag kept shaking, and the herald of each ship passed the flag words expressed by the handsome flag to the commanders and generals on the warships of each voyage. Then the generals will pass on the orders. As Cai Mao's order was conveyed, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Navy were no longer frightened, and their cold fighting spirit couldn't help but rise, condensing over the water.

"Knock knock

"Rush!" "Kill!"

Cai Mao walked to the battleship's drum, grabbed two huge drumsticks, and slammed them down on the drum. The Jingzhou Navy saw the commander Cai Mao personally beat the drum, and the morale soared, and the commanders of the warships gave an order, and the soldiers in the warships could not stop paddling. The Jingzhou Navy went up the river and rushed towards the Nanyang Navy Army.

On the battleship, Cai Mao rushed out first when he saw Zhang Yun's childishness, and the ships behind followed closely behind, forming a triangular formation under the leadership of Zhang Yunhang's ship and rushing towards the Nanyang Navy. Cai Mao saw it. praised: "What a Zhang Yun, he really deserves to be valued by the lord!" Then he shouted, "Let's not be left behind!" Charge! ”

Under Cai Mao's urging, the soldiers who rowed the oars in his battleship did their best to resist the oars, and soon Cai Mao's flagship rushed out, and the Xiangshi battleship behind immediately took Cai Mao's flagship as a triangular formation and rushed towards the Nanyang naval army.

After Cai Mao and Zhang Yun rushed out, Cai Zhong and Cai He's general boat battleships also rushed out. Four triangular battle formations composed of more than 20 warships rushed to the front, and there were several walkers tied behind each rudder battleship, and many Jingzhou sailors had already reached the top of the book, letting go of the tied ropes, and gradually dispersed behind the warships, although the warships were not as many as the Nanyang navy, there were more than 20 warships. The momentum is stronger.

In the entire Jingzhou Navy Army, these four are the largest warships, and Cai Mao took these four rudder warships as the core to compile the formation of the Jingzhou Navy Army, and for a while, the Yu-rented warships of the Jingzhou Navy at the mouth of the water shed formed four triangular battle formations. Towards the Nanyang Water Army, which is covered with the entire drainage. Countless warships crashed over.

On the other side, the Nanyang Navy also has Yu ships. But the number is less than half of the Jingzhou Navy, Gan Ning stood on the flagship, looked at the four triangular battle formations formed by the Jingzhou Navy, frowned and said: "What a Cai Mao, he really has some real skills." Sons. Surround them, and the iron cables are ready, and stop all the big ships that rush to the front, and leave them alone with the books behind them. ”

On a ship next to Gan Ning's flagship, Huo Jun looked at the two sides that were about to engage in battle, and muttered: "To deal with a ship like a ship, only a madman like Jinfan Gan Ning can come up with it." ”

"Jingle bell

Over there, Cai Zhong and Cai He suddenly heard such a voice on their respective ships, and Cai Zhong asked the vice general, "What is this sound?" ”

The adjutant general listened carefully and replied, "General Hui, this" It seemed to be the sound of a bell lock

Cai Zhong heard it and scolded: "Nonsense! Why is there a sudden ringing of a bell lock here? ”

At this time, a soldier replied with a frightened face: "General, this, this is indeed the sound of the bell lock that I have heard before." ”

Cai Zhong was surprised when he heard it: "What about the ringing of the bell lock." Why are you so alarmed! ”

The soldier replied, "General, as soon as the bell lock rings, it means that the Jinfan thief is coming!" ”

"Sail thief!"

The soldier's voice fell, and the faces of the soldiers on the battleship who heard this became extremely frightened. Unconsciously shouted, "How can the Jinfan thief be here?" ”

Although Cai Zhong was a straw bag, he had also heard of the reputation of the Jinfan thief, and he was terrified when he saw that his subordinates were all terrified. lost an inch, so he scolded: "What are you panicking about." The Jinfan Thief is just a little water bandit, you are a member of my Jingzhou elite naval army, and there is this warship, the Jinfan Thief is not three heads and six arms, just kill it! The archers know..."

Just as Cai Zhong was about to give the order, he suddenly heard a loud "boom", like a boat vibrating violently. The soldiers on the battleship were all unsteady on their feet and fell on the deck, even Cai Zhong himself. The battleship shook for a while before stopping, and at the same time leaning forward slightly, Cai Zhong ignored falling to the ground, and hurriedly shouted: "Go and see what's going on!" ”

At this time, the adjutant general stepped forward to help Cai Zhong up, and there were already soldiers over there to report: "Report to the general." There is a big hole in the bow of the ship, and it is constantly entering the water, but I am afraid that the battleship will sink soon! ”

Cai Zhong heard it, still unconvinced, and asked loudly, "What did you say?" ”

The soldier repeated what he had just said. At this time, another soldier came to report: "Report to the general, the bow of the battleship on General Cai's side has also pierced a big hole, and it is not entering the water, I am afraid that the battleship will sink soon." ”

Cai Zhong heard it and exclaimed: "Impossible! Immediately to the side and looked at Cai Mao's battleship.
