Chapter 69: Huang Zhong's Harvest

After Huang Zhong beat Cao Hong, he hid in Xiangyang under Cai Mao's arrangement. His family is here, and it's a good thing to be reunited with them.

After he arrived in Xiangyang, Zhao Yan immediately came to visit him in person.

Among the Cao army, Zhang Ling Taishou and Du Du Guard, who were the best at mediating the relationship between the generals, had no mouth to praise Huang Zhong as a hero, claiming that they had heard of Huang Zhong's heroic name back then.

He touted it, which made Huang Zhongzhi proud, and he also admired Zhao Yan, so Zhao Yan took the opportunity to ask Huang Zhong to lead the army and wipe out the Wu army sailors who had been active on the Han River.

When Huang Zhong was under Liu Pan's command, he clashed with Wu Juntai Shi Ci many times, and the two sides did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and there were many casualties, forming a deep enmity.

Huang Zhong had a good impression of Guan Ping, and he also knew that the Sun and Liu families were now allied, but he was not willing to let go of the opportunity to beat Wu Jun.

Anyway, the old man can't get any large-scale battles, so he just fights casually.

So Zhao Yan allocated Huang Zhong a naval army composed entirely of Jingzhou people, and Huang Zhong commanded the south to attack.

This move was resolutely opposed by Xu Huang and Le Jin, who believed that Huang Zhong was a subordinate general under Liu Biao, who was unruly and unruly, and could not let him lead the army.

But Zhao Yan was not afraid, he sent someone to monitor all Huang Zhong's family, and if Huang Zhong had the intention of rebellion, he would immediately kill all his family, not afraid that Huang Zhong would not fight.

Huang Zhong's performance was also very good, he took a boat to the south, and soon engaged Lu Yi's naval army, under the command of Huang Zhong, the Jingzhou army broke out of the long-held combat effectiveness, Lu Yi also knew that the enemy was extremely strong this time, and he could only fight and retreat to preserve his strength.

On the day Guan Ping returned to Xiangyang, Le Jin Xu Huang was in Jiangbei to discuss with Zhao Yan about sending troops, and they agreed that the defense of Sun Liu's allied army in Hanshui was insufficient, and if they could continue to maintain the offensive on Hanshui, they would definitely be able to contain Sun Liu's forces. Therefore, Zhao Yan once again ordered Huang Zhong to send troops, and this time there must be a large number of captures to pose a threat to Xiakou.

Huang Zhong was speechless, and wanted to run away on the spot, but only then did he realize that his family had been controlled by Zhao Yan, and then he knew that he had won the plan.

He wanted to split Zhao Yan on the spot, but after weighing it, he could only be forced to agree to lead the army to fight again.

Huang Zhong's morale was not high this time, and he wanted to sneak back under the pretext of taking a trip, but he never expected that there was no Wu army blocking this way, and he drove so smoothly to the vicinity of Jingcheng.

Here, Huang Zhong finally found a huge enemy ship parked by the river.

It was a huge building ship, the huge ship was three stories high, each floor had a female wall, three huge masts towering, surrounded by flags and knives and guns, and the hull was covered with a thick layer of leather, like a huge island.

Huang Zhong was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to retreat - according to common sense, such an important Wu army nobleman would definitely not be less guarded by his side, remembering that Zhao Yan had said that Zhou Yu might be nearby, Huang Zhong felt more and more that it was dangerous here.

But after a little observation, he found that there were only a few ordinary small boats around this huge building ship, and even a warship that lacked other guards.

Is it a trap?

Huang Zhong fell into deep thought for a while, and did not dare to attack.

He didn't expect that Sun Quan was looking for immortals.

This is the place where Guan Ping found out that the divine soldiers killed Cao Chun before, Sun Quan was convinced that this river water contained secrets leading to a thousand years later, and he had been lingering here for the past few days and refused to leave.

Although Lu Yi had already told Sun Quan that Cao's army's general offensive was about to begin, Sun Quan thought that it should not be a big problem to delay for another three or four days, so he took the initiative to say that he would lead his troops and let the others return to Xiakou first to stand by—just like his battle of fame in history.

Lu Yi had received a large number of arrows from Guan Ping before, and he had to transport them to Xiakou as soon as possible, and he didn't dare to force Sun Quan to have his own ideas, so he could only lead the army to go first. And it was this short gap that Huang Zhong arrived!

Chen Wu, who was in charge of guarding Sun Quan, was not surprised to find Cao Jun's warship appearing.

He saw that the enemy's fleet was not large, but it was evenly spread out on the river, and there was no sharp offensive posture, and it was obvious that the enemy was either the Cao Army's Northern Army, which was not good at water warfare, or the Jingzhou Army, which was unwilling to fight.

Chen Wu calmly reported the arrival of the enemy to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan could only reluctantly leave his immortal holy land, preparing to sail back to Xiakou.

The sailors of the Cao army never dared to chase after fighting with Lu Yi before, this naval army is only a few thousand people, do they dare to chase them to Xiakou and die?

If Sun Quan didn't leave, Huang Zhong didn't dare to attack for a while, but he set sail to escape, Huang Zhong immediately judged that the enemy was not prepared, and he was still hesitating to chase after him, and suddenly saw an extremely amazing scene.

I saw that the huge building ship had not taken a few steps and suddenly made a violent shake, only to see that Sun Quan's building ship actually ran aground!

That's right, Sun Quan had been searching the riverside for a gate that could enter a thousand years later, and the boat had been parked by the river for several days, completely unaware that the Han water was getting shallower and shallower in the middle of winter. Now that the strong enemy is coming, Chen Wu urges the boat to start, they force it to start, and a fierce man actually stuck to the ground.

Huang Zhong looked stupid directly.

He stood there and thought for a long time, and when he saw that everyone on the boat was busy and screaming, he judged that the enemy was not pretending.

"Okay, God help me, don't leave since you're here!"

Huang Zhong shouted loudly and immediately waved the command flag, and the Jingzhou army under his command also knew that they had encountered a big fish this time, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Sun Quan on the ship.

Sun Quan was really stunned on the spot this time.

He never imagined that the enemy would come so quickly, let alone that his experienced navy would make such a mistake at this critical moment.

Seeing the enemy coming from all directions, Sun Quan showed the courage to fight to the death.

He stood at the bow of the boat, personally opened his bow and shot arrows, and really forced back a few Cao soldiers who tried to board the ship quickly, but he didn't expect that the Cao army on the opposite side would be a master of archery.

Seeing Sun Quan standing at the bow of the boat, Huang Zhong sneered and took a big bow from the guard beside him.

Taking advantage of the turbulent water, his boat approached quickly, Huang Zhong pulled the big bow like a full moon, and the feather arrow quickly shot, whistling to break through the barrier of the cold wind, and flew straight towards Sun Quan.

"Beware!"

Chen Wu has been guarding Sun Quan's side, and when he saw Huang Zhong bending his bow, he rushed up, Sun Quan was knocked down by him, and the feather arrow happened to pass by by mistake, and it shot heavily on the boat, shaking non-stop.

Sun Quan broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to get up anymore, so he could only shrink behind the female wall and command the soldiers to fight.

Although this building ship can carry a lot, Sun Quan's actions this time are quite secretive, and only Chen Wu's headquarters has less than 700 people to follow the guard.

Under the onslaught of Huang Zhong's men, the Wu army was immediately in chaos and almost fell into a desperate situation.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Lu Yi's corporal finally completed the supply and reappeared on the battlefield again.

Lu Yi saw that Sun Quan was surrounded, and immediately stepped forward to rescue regardless of the fact that Huang Zhong saw the arrival of Wu army reinforcements, and he wanted to forget it, but he saw that Lu Yi's reinforcements were all ignoring the anxious look on their faces, and seemed to have guessed the identity of the nobles on this ship.

Isn't Sun Quan here?

The highest honor of a military general is to kill the enemy's main general, Sun Quan is the leader of Jiangdong, Huang Zhong has no chance to face him.

But now the opportunity was in front of him.

Or...... Try?
