Chapter 80 Soldiers besiege the mouth of the Jingjiang River
After Li Yu arrived in Xiangyang, he joined Zhao Kuangning's 20,000 naval army.
The Jingxiang army has both an army and a navy, and the navy is the mainstay.
You must know that there are many rivers in Jingxiang District, with Hanshui and Jingjiang as the backbone, and the two are combined into one. Other tributaries crisscross the river.
Danshui, Xishui, Turbulent Water, Shuishui, Blocked Water, Bishui, Lishui, Baishui, Zhushui, Xiashui, Fushui, and Zhushui all flow through or originate in Jingxiang and flow into Hanshui.
Fushui, Zhangshui, Yishui, and Youshui are injected into the Jingjiang River.
It can be said that the entire Jingxiang and Jingnan waterways are more developed than land transportation, and shipping transportation is more convenient than land transportation.
Therefore, their ability to fight water is very strong.
Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, Jingxiang and Jingnan were ancient Jingzhou.
The Jingzhou naval army during the Three Kingdoms period was very famous.
Zhao Kuangning invited Li Yu to his ship, pointed to the mighty battleships in front and behind, and asked with a little smugness: "Virtuous son-in-law, what do you think of my navy?!" ”
"My father-in-law's navy should be a hero."
Li Yu was actually very envious in his heart.
He is located in the Nanyang Basin, with flat terrain and vertical and horizontal waterways, which is very suitable for agricultural production.
In recent years, not only has food production flourished, but also handicrafts and commerce have flourished, and the population has gradually increased. But he didn't have a big wharf, he couldn't raise a naval army, and he didn't even have a decent training place, so he could only look at the river and sigh.
It's like Xiangyang!
Xiangyang City is entrenched in the south of the Han River, and Fancheng is located in the north of the Han River, which has been a large water and land wharf since ancient times.
Connecting the north and the south, and reaching the west and the east.
In the upper reaches of the Han River, it can reach Junzhou and Jinzhou, and enter Yangzhou and Liangzhou in Shannan West Road.
The downstream can be connected to Yingzhou, Fuzhou, and Chuzhou, and to Jiangxia to connect to the Yangtze River.
Jiangling City is a large wharf for naval exercises, and people live on the north bank of the Jingjiang River, near the water. The water depth is wide, which is suitable for stationing naval forces.
If you can hold the Dongting in your hands, then let alone it.
Dongting Lake is composed of Qingcao Lake, Chiting Lake and Huhu Lake, and is connected to the Jingjiang River by a number of waterways.
Yuezhou is located next to the waterway connecting the Jingjiang River in Dongting, ten miles to the north is the mouth of the Jingjiang River, where the Yangtze River is down and the Jingjiang River is up.
Jingxiang's navy went all the way down the Han River, and soon entered the Yangtze River, turned around Jiangxia, went retrograde along the Yangtze River, and rushed to Yuezhou day and night.
Although he knew that Yuezhou had been captured by Ma Yin, now Jing Xiang didn't know that Ma Yin's army had also joined the war.
In Zhao Kuangning's opinion, Ma Yin would not easily start a war with him, he was just passing by, and they should not stop him.
Besides, even if it is blocked, Jing Xiang's army will have to go like this.
On this day, the Jingxiang army still had dozens of miles to the mouth of the Jingjiang River, and there were sentinel boats returning to the river, and there was actually a Jingnan naval army arrayed at the mouth of the river to fight against the Yuezhou naval army.
Shhh
Didn't you say that Lei Yangong was beating the police? Why is the navy not guarding at home and running to Yuezhou?
Zhao Kuangning and Li Yu glanced at each other, knowing that something must happen.
"Speed up, go to the estuary to support."
In just half an hour, Jing Xiang's army joined forces with the Jingnan Water Army.
Zhao Chenggui was happy when he saw that Jingxiang's reinforcements had arrived, and took a small boat to the flagship building ship to meet his uncle Zhao Kuangning.
He happily walked into the small section hall on the boat and bowed deeply to his uncle who was sitting on the couch.
"My nephew visits my uncle, and I thank my uncle for his rescue."
"Hehe, Cheng Gui, please hurry up and come to meet His Royal Highness King De."
Zhao Kuangning smiled and helped his nephew up, and pulled him to meet Li Yu.
When Li Yu saw that it was his eldest brother, he didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly smiled and came over to say hello.
"It's Brother Chenggui, sister-in-law Yu visits his uncle."
Zhao Chenggui was stunned when he saw his sister-in-law Li Yu present, and then his face was a little unhappy.
"Uncle, I have a military aircraft to discuss."
He didn't even look at Li Yu, and directly regarded King De as a transparent person.
Li Yu was unhappy in his heart, and thought, your eldest brother is sick, right? It was your father's idea for me to marry your sister, if you have any opinions, you can mention them to him, besides, the sons have been born, and they have been crowned the king, what are you not satisfied with?
"Oh? Okay, what are the military planes, let's go to the details with our own families. ”
Zhao Kuangning is an old fox, can he not see anything unusual? Besides, it's not news that this nephew and son-in-law are not on good terms.
So he bit the words of his family very hard, the meaning is obvious, they are all their own people, don't make a dispute of will.
Zhao Chenggui is indeed capable, brave in battle, good at using strategy, and all-round in civil and military affairs.
He had just won another battle, and his spirit was high, and he looked down on his weak sister-in-law.
In fact, Zhao Kuangning also knew his heart knot.
At the beginning, the brothers were close to each other, and Zhao Chenggui and his cousin Xiuniang were also childhood sweethearts, and the two had no guesses.
Who knows, Li Yu suddenly came out, and his dream of marrying his cousin Xiuniang was shattered, so he made trouble in the name of disagreeing with his sister marrying Li Yu.
Li Yu didn't know about this, he still thought that there was something wrong with this eldest brother, what is your opinion on me marrying your sister?
How did he know that he had robbed someone else's daughter-in-law!
"Uncle, I have defeated Lei Yangong and Ma Yinshui's army, and only the main general escaped and fled back to the mouth of the river."
"What? Lei Yangong is defeated? ”
Zhao Kuangning didn't expect his nephew to be so brave.
Li Yu was also shocked in his heart.
He doesn't understand water battles, he has defeated Lei Yangong on land, and his uncle is so powerful in water battles? Lei Yangong is a water bandit.
Looking at the arrogance on Zhao Chenggui's face, Li Yu knew that this eldest brother had to find a way to appease him.
If he can be brought under his command, then the shortcomings of the navy will be made up.
"Uncle, now that we have come to Jiangkou, this is a good opportunity to conquer Yuezhou, what do you think?"
Zhao Chenggui stared at Zhao Kuangning with blazing eyes.
"Since Ma Yin has already started a war with us, then it's no wonder that we fight."
The battle clouds at the mouth of the Jingjiang River are thick.
said that Qin Yanhui and Huang Fan were panicked at this time.
They lost 10,000 sailors, which was the main force of the Hunan navy.
Now there are only 5,000 water troops in Jiangkou Water Village, 2,000 water troops in Yiyang and Xiangyin, and 5,000 water troops in Tanzhou, which is all the water troops in Hunan.
Looking at the black and oppressive fighting ships on the river, Qin Yanhui knew that he had to report the truth about Tanzhou, otherwise he would delay the military plane.
"Commander Huang, you must call for help immediately."
"Yes, send an urgent report to Tanzhou immediately."
A speedboat sailed out of the back door of the water village at great speed and headed towards Dongting Lake.
"The next battle book."
The Jingxiang army shot a war book to the Jiangkou Water Village.
"I, Jingnan and Jingxiang, have been blessed by the imperial court, recuperated for many years, and got along with the towns in harmony. However, Lei Yangong, the thief chief of Langzhou, invaded the border, poisoned the people, and did all kinds of evil. The Wu'an army was supposed to protect the territory and the people, protect the township, but it lost the popularity of the people, helped the people to do evil, and joined forces with the thief chieftain, attacked my Jingnan, killed our soldiers, and harmed my people. Heaven and earth are unkind and all things are used as dogs, and Jingxiang and Jingnan are both kings' land, how can they be slaughtered by others? ! ”
"Today, on behalf of the king, the people will be punished for their crimes!"
This is both a war book and a script.
Qin Yanhui also sent this war book to Tanzhou.
But it is said that Changsha City, Tanzhou, Wu'an Army Festival Envoy.
The two urgent reports, one before and one after, confused Ma Yin.
He originally thought that Jing Xiang and Jing Nan, who had always obeyed Zhu Wen and compromised with King Liang, would not do anything to him, after all, he also had some weight in front of King Liang.
Besides, after occupying Dongting Lake, he is about to vigorously develop the naval army, and it is imperative to conquer Jingzhou in the future.
He looked at Jing Nan with greed.
Only then did he borrow Lei Yangong's hand, and he secretly got a little cheap in the back.
But who would have thought that Jing Nan and Jing Xiang would react so much.
Not only defeated the coalition army, but also besieged the mouth of the river.
That's a good thing.
If Jiangkou Shuizhai is lost, the situation around Dongting Lake will change greatly, and his dream of conquering Jingzhou will be shattered.
In the festival hall, all the civil and military forces were silent.
Especially the deputy envoy Ma Ma.
He advised him to be cautious before sending troops, but he was denied. Now the facts show that he was right.
The more correct he is, the more he can't speak, otherwise his brother Ma Yin's face will be lost.
Ma Yin sat on the couch, panting heavily.
He has fought in Hunan all these years, winning more and losing less, and this is how he has played a situation.
Now as soon as his hand reached into the Jing River, he was cut off by Jing Nan, Qin Yanhui, aren't you a Changsheng general? How did you lose so badly!
10,000 elite sailors, if they say no, they will be gone, with hundreds of large and small warships. That's a big loss.
Xu Dexun stood at the bottom of the hall, embarrassed.
At that time, Qin Yanhui advocated picking up cheap behind Lei Yangong, and he also supported it. His support is based on the morale of the military.
Unexpectedly, this time not only failed, but also lost badly.
The entire coalition army had 25,000 naval troops and hundreds of large and small warships, and they actually beat people into bare-bones commanders.
Lei Yangong and the other barbarian chieftains also entered Dongting from the mouth of the river and returned to their lair.
Throw down Qin Yanhui and Huang Fan to block the disaster in Jiangkou Water Village.
Who would have thought that this would be the result.
Plain attracted enemies.
"Tell me, how can we rescue? Who to send?! ”
