"They don't have much food and grass."

On the Sanheguan City, Li Xuan looked sideways at Yao Zhi, Du Bixing, Wang Qin, Feng Hua and others behind him.

Just one sentence shocked everyone.

Li Xuan stood on the high platform, turned sideways, looked at the mast shadows that began to appear on the river at the end of his line of sight in the distance, and sneered: "This king's trip is not for nothing. ”

Everyone present immediately felt relieved when they heard Li Xuan say this.

There is not enough food and grass, and there are too many ways to target.

Even those of them who don't know the art of war can also find a lot of strategies from the history books.

Li Xuan turned his head to look at Shen Lin, the captain of Sanheguan who was wearing silver chain mail behind him, and ordered in a deep voice: "Captain Shen, immediately let people move as much as possible all the grain in the warehouse, as for those that can't be moved, don't burn them, mix some croton powder in them." ”

"Croton...... Powder? Shen Lin was slightly stunned, and immediately said suddenly: "The lower official obeys the order." ”

After speaking, Shen Lin immediately walked forward quickly to make arrangements.

Li Xuan continued: "Immediately sent a message to all roads in the rear, Yuan Chao pretended to surrender to sincerity, and was recognized by this king, and now he has attacked the mountains and rivers pass, so that everyone can prepare immediately." ”

"Whoa!" Du Bixing immediately turned around and sent a message to all the checkpoints in Lanxi County.

"Feng joins the army!"

"The lower official is here." Feng Hua immediately stepped forward and gave up his hand.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "I order you to prepare all the trebuchets in the city, and you personally control the launch, ready to meet the attack." ”

"The lower officials obey the order." Feng Hua immediately turned around and walked away.

"The king joins the army."

"The lower official is here!" Wang Qin immediately stood up.

Li Xuan took out a roster from his bosom, handed it to Wang Qin, and said: "You go now, find a team of literate Lanxi soldiers, and ask them to engrave words on the wooden chips, as small as possible, and after each of their names, engrave how much they have been given the field, and remember to use thin pieces of wood that can float on the water." ”

"The prince wants to ......" Wang Qin immediately understood Li Xuan's thoughts, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The lower officials obey the order." ”

When Li Xuan arranged things one by one, Yao Zhi on the side said softly: "It seems that the prince has gained a lot from this trip!" ”

Li Xuan shook his head lightly and said, "Originally, I was just guarding against Yuan Chao's desire to be insatiable, but I didn't come to Wen Fuzhi, what an unexpected joy!" ”

"Yes, now that he has arrived in Muzhou, the troops of Yuezhou and Hangzhou can be moved." Yao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Fuzhi is in Hangzhou, and he controls all the Tianyin cultists in Hangzhou and Vietnam and hundreds of elite Tianyin black pawns.

If it cooperates with Zhoushan Haikou, once there is a change, Yuezhou and Hangzhou are in danger of capsizing, and even affect Taizhou and Suzhou.

Before they found the Tianyin Sect Black Pawn and the Zhoushan Haikou, the soldiers of the Huiji Mansion couldn't move at all.

It is precisely because of this that Yao Zhi hurried to Wuzhou.

As long as Wuzhou is completely stable and has no worries, then they can deal with Zhoushan Haikou well.

can even take this opportunity to completely strangle the entire Zhoushan Haikou.

But now that Wen Fuzhi has appeared in Muzhou, then the opportunity for Hangzhou and Yuezhou has come.

"Don't take it too lightly." Li Xuan shook his head, looked at the gradually clear shadow of the sail in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Fuzhi chose to come to Sanheguan at this time, on the one hand, because this is indeed the easiest point to break the situation, and on the other hand, why is he not calculating Hangyue......

Once he acted rashly and the location of his troops was discovered, he would immediately throw everything away and turn around and kill back to Hangyue.

For him, Wuzhou and Hangyue are the same. ”

Yao Zhi suddenly woke up, nodded and said: "What the prince said is very true, it is the lower officials who underestimate Wen Fuzhi. ”

"In fact, just as we judged before, the battle intention of the Tianyin Water Pawn is not as strong as that of the Warrior, once the disparity between victory and defeat is obvious, they will also hesitate, Yuan Chao can persuade to surrender is the proof."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused slightly, and said softly: "In this way, next, as long as we can completely crush their will, then it will not be difficult for these people from the Tang Tianyin Sect to regain their sincerity." ”

"Does the prince not want to kill anymore?" Yao Zhi asked in a low voice.

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, then nodded, and said: "This king can't imagine that the Tianyin Sect Pawn is so crazy, once it is attacked, it will be so fatal, this King has a Meiling Pass, and buried nearly 7,000 of their soldiers before and after, this number will really be transmitted to the center, it will be very troublesome."

Sima, in this matter, I have to ask Ling and Duan Dudu to think of more ways. ”

"Xia Guan understands." Yao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief gently, it seemed that the king of Nanchang understood the meaning of his words.

How to trade depends on Yao Zhi's means.

……

Huge rolling stones smashed from the sky above the Wu River, smashed on the river surface of Sanheguan, and exploded a huge wave.

The waves splashed on the shore and wet a large area of water.

There are only water waves.

Rolling stones flew in mid-air, but Li Xuan, who was on the city wall of Sanheguan, was stunned when he saw this scene.

"Haven't they experienced a little bit of actual combat?" Li Xuan turned his head sideways to look at Yao Zhi who was standing beside him, even he didn't expect this scene.

"It should be, but it's not surprising, although the Muzhou Sailor is also called the Sailor, it has never traveled on the Great River, and has not experienced any real ship battles, let alone the current siege warfare." Yao Zhi looked at the rolling stones that occasionally smashed into the open space in front of the pass, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Li Xuan also figured this out at this time.

Since its establishment, the Muzhou Naval Division has been kept in extreme secrecy and has never fought against any enemy.

The sailors on board may have undergone rigorous training, but they are not able to withstand pressure.

This point is the same whether it is the Muzhou Navy or the Muzhou foot soldiers.

At this moment, the ship of the Muzhou Navy Division stopped at a distance of two hundred paces from Guancheng, and stopped advancing.

On the river in front of the boat, a long mast stretched out, which was when Li Xuan returned before, sinking his official ship directly into the river.

Further south, there are heavy chains of 50 meters long arranged on the river, and a total of more than 30 are arranged.

It was precisely because Li Xuan decisively sank his official ship into the river that these chains did not move at all.

……

Li Xuan stood on the city gate, and there were a series of catapults in the key open space, and these catapults had not moved at all.

The rolling stones that were thrown from the warship of the Muzhou Navy Division ended up only smashing into the river, not hitting the shore.

It is even said to have spread to the shore.

The attack range of the catapult on the warship itself is not as good as that of the catapult on the ground, and now firing it is just a useless exercise.

That's why Li Xuancai said that they had not experienced actual combat.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at a warship at the front of the river in the distance.

Wen Fuzhi, who was dressed in a blue silk coat and pressed a long sword in his hand, stood at the bow of the boat, his face gloomy as water.

On either side of him, stood Yuan Chao, who looked very embarrassed, and Zhu Jun, who had already changed and put on his battle armor.

Under Zhu Jun's command, small boats descended from more than 20 official ships and headed for the iron chains on the river and the shores on both sides.

Although the mountains on both sides of Sanhe Pass are steep, they are not high, and as long as they can land, they can attack Sanhe Pass from the ground.

It's just that the mountains are undulating and the attack is unfavorable, and once the city is prepared, they will be in trouble.

"There are 2,000 foot soldiers in the Muzhou Water Division, and it is estimated that they will be released, so they are sent out." Li Xuan explained in a low voice.

Yao Zhi bowed his head lightly and said, "It's just a little trouble, the real problem is that they have more than 20 boats, and they can't stop it with Sanhe Pass alone." ”

Water warfare and land warfare are completely different ways of fighting, and it is not possible to win with more people, nor is it inevitable to lose if there are fewer people.

Warships occupy a very important factor in this.

"That's why we want to use the entire Wujiang River as a battlefield." Li Xuan raised his head, looked at the small boats in the distance, sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Now it depends on how long they can break through Meiling Pass, if they delay too long, then they will be finished." ”

Today's autumn harvest in Wuyue states has entered the final end, once the autumn harvest is over, all prefectures and counties can spare manpower to deal with all kinds of changes.

At that time, even Chen Shuozhen, who is in Shezhou, will be in big trouble, let alone Wen Fuzhi.

The more it dragged on, the more unlucky they were.

Thinking of this, Yao Zhi looked sideways at Li Xuan and asked, "Xia Guan heard that the prince is good at calling the wind and rain, but I don't know if it's true?" ”

"It can't be true." Li Xuan waved his hand and explained: "This king has studied the Tao for more than ten years, and he can get a glimpse of the flow of water elements to heaven and earth, and the rise and fall of water vapor drives changes in the wind, so he can see the movement of feng shui, and then use it,"

Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused slightly, and then said: "This king has always liked to emulate Zhuge Kongming, if you can know one or two, unfortunately wins." ”

Zhuge Kongming borrowed the east wind, placed seven stars, spread gossip, and recorded in historical books, but it was just a borrowed word.

Li Xuanxue Zhuge Kongming borrowed the "East", and most people in the world would praise "knowing astronomy and geography", but if he really has any ability to call for wind and rain, Confucianism respects him for a high skill, which is already extremely praised, and if you are not polite, you will directly scold him for a demon.

"Look, the first rope is breaking." Li Xuan suddenly pointed to the middle of the river.

I saw three or four small boats gathered together, slashing with axes and smashing with fire and hammers, and in a moment they had broken one of the chains at the front.

The strange thing is that in this process, not a single stone was thrown at Sanhe Pass, not a single crossbow arrow was fired, as if they were just watching calmly, allowing them to break the chain.

Li Xuan and Yao Zhi above the city pass also had calm faces, and Wen Fuzhi's sharp gaze on the opposite river had already seen everything clearly.

"Order, send two big ships forward, and see what the hell they do?" Wen Fuzhi turned sideways to look at Zhu Jun, and Zhu Zhu immediately surrendered his promise.

Soon, the two large ships had passed through the broken chains and began to move on, but they had only gone ten meters before they heard a loud bang, a loud crash coming from below.

"It's leaking, it's leaking." An exclamation immediately rang out on the ship, followed by countless exclamations.

"It's a dark pile." Zhu Jun's face turned pale, he turned his head to look at Wen Fuzhi and said, "They even arranged a dark pile under the water, which is troublesome now." ”

Wen Fuzhi didn't look at Zhu Jun, but just raised his head and looked at Sanheguan in the distance.

In the open space in front of the gate in the distance, catapults have begun to prepare.
