A huge rolling stone tumbled in mid-air and slammed into the deck of the warship.

Suddenly, debris flew sideways.

The leaky warship, which had already begun to sink, immediately began to tilt and sink inexorably.

Wen Fuzhi's gloomy gaze was raised, and he saw Li Xuan on the city gate at a glance.

The two looked at each other, and the disdain in the corners of Li Xuan's eyes was clearly seen by Wen Fuzhi, and for a while, anger flared up.

Li Xuan smiled contemptuously and continued to look at Jiangzhong.

Seeing that the ships that were beginning to sink were around, the other boats that responded could not get close at all.

Rolling stones fall one by one overhead, and if you get a little closer, you will immediately be hit by the rolling stones.

Directly smash over.

The sailors on the ship jumped off the boat one after another, and then swam from the bottom to the back.

They abandoned ship.

Li Xuan stood on top of the city pass, looking at all this calmly, killing chickens and monkeys, and making them understand that they didn't want to take Sanheguan without paying a considerable price.

Battlefield fighting has always been the most cruel, and at the same time, it is also the most easy to shake people's hearts.

Li Xuan's gaze crossed Wen Fuzhi and fell on the soldiers further behind.

Some people are worried and fearful, while others are excited and bloodthirsty by nature.

Although Yuan Chao had already killed a number of them, there were still many devout disciples of the Tianyin Sect in this fleet.

If you don't kill all these people, this war will not end.

……

Above the city pass, Yao Zhi stood beside Li Xuan, looking at the battleship that had completely sunk and the floating corpse, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "It seems that that Captain Zhu has not experienced a water battle for a long time, and he has forgotten even such the most basic things. ”

Li Xuan's gaze kept looking ahead, and he shook his head slightly: "I heard that Captain Zhu once served in the Hangzhou Naval Division, and may have gone to sea with the Naval Division to strangle the Haikou, so he is more adept at naval warfare, and he is more unfamiliar with this kind of water warfare on the big river." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused slightly, looked at Yao Zhi and said, "Maybe it is precisely because of this that Zhu Zhu got acquainted with Zhoushan Haikou...... The three Bai brothers are dead, and the traces of Zhoushan Haikou may fall on him. ”

"Hmm!" Yao Zhi nodded.

The death of the three Bai brothers was something they didn't expect, but fortunately, there is still a chance to find out the whereabouts of Zhoushan Haikou.

At this moment, more small boats were laid down on the warships in the distance.

These small boats were carrying a lot of black-clothed soldiers, and these black-clothed soldiers suddenly jumped into the water before the boat reached the range of the stone.

That's a bunch of water ghosts.

As soon as the water spirits jumped into the water, the catapult was immediately unable to threaten them.

Li Xuan looked at this scene, couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "In this way, the Three Rivers Pass will not be guarded for long. ”

"The prince still wants to replicate the achievements of Meiling Pass as early as Sanheguan, which is not easy." Yao Zhi couldn't help laughing.

Water warfare is different from land warfare, and there are too many factors that are difficult to control.

Li Xuan waved his hand, put away his thoughts, and continued to look into the distance.

A water ghost jumps off the boat and dives underwater, looking for the wooden stakes that are hidden beneath the surface of the water.

The Sanhe Pass is located in the Wujiang River into the endless mountains of the population, the water surface in this area began to narrow, and after the establishment of the Sanhe Pass, the government began to deliberately control the number of boats, so the boat traffic is more restricted.

The depth of the river is lower than in other parts of the river, which is hundreds of meters, so it is easier to build wooden piles at the bottom of the river.

Sanheguan has received an order to close the customs more than ten days ago.

Whether it was Li Xuan, Wang Fanglan, or even Sima Yao Zhi of Yuezhou, they all ordered more than once to strengthen the river defense, and even inspected it in person.

In this case, who is slacking off.

Shen Lin, the general of the Sanhe Guard, knew how powerful this was, so he was very well prepared in all aspects.

The big ship of the Tianyin Sect traveled here, and as soon as it encountered a wooden stake hidden underwater, it was immediately unable to move forward again.

The draft of the warship itself is deeper than that of other ordinary ships, and they do not know the true location of the dark stake, so they can only send water spirits into the water to explore slowly.

"Your Majesty, why didn't they follow the king into the pass, and then suddenly broke out, after all, it was easier to attack the city, why did they choose to expose it early?" Yao Zhi suddenly asked a question.

When Li Xuan left before, he was carefully commanded by the defenders before leaving Sanhe Pass.

When he returned before, if he wanted to enter the customs smoothly, he not only needed the soldiers on the gate to untie all the iron cables on the water, but also needed to be led by the defenders to pass through the hidden pile formation.

As long as the underwater dark pile formation is passed safely, then it will no longer be a problem to take the entire Sanhe Pass.

Li Xuan glanced at Wen Fu in the distance, and said softly: "Before, this king gathered all the generals above the team lead, just to bring these people into the pass together, without these people, the entire water division will be no threat."

Wen Fuzhi also saw this, so he made a move in advance and let these people return to the ship separately, and the sailor immediately restarted his combat power. ”

Li Xuan said, his eyes looked directly at the water, and the rolling stones on the shore fell from time to time, but it was difficult to hurt the people underwater.

At this time, there was a sudden shout of killing on the side of the mountain in the distance, and hundreds of government soldiers wearing blue robes suddenly came out from behind the mountain.

Some even jumped directly into the river.

Wen Fuzhi also saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said: "I have long known that the king of Nanchang is very calculating, but I didn't expect it to be so comprehensive!" ”

Zhu Jun shook his head: "The navy has the tactics of the navy, although the king of Nanchang has some strategies, but he does not understand the methods of water warfare. ”

Wen Fuzhi looked at the city head again and said, "It's better to take Sanheguan first." ”

……

As the sun sets, the Wujiang River is sparkling.

A heavy wooden stake floated up from the bottom of the river and then down the river, where it was soon knocked elsewhere by the poles of the warship.

Wen Fuzhi looked at the river that was gradually being cleaned up, and there was not much excitement on his face.

On the city wall in the distance, Li Xuan and Yao Zhi were still calmly watching all this.

"He's so cautious!" Li Xuan sighed with emotion, chuckled and said, "If Fang Fengjin can also have such patience, then it will be this king who is unlucky to close Meiling." ”

A warship slowly moved forward, and many warships behind were lined up, except for the chains that had to be broken, the hidden stakes could be avoided as much as possible, and the power of the trebuchet on the shore immediately weakened a lot.

Yao Zhi said lightly: "But he also lost time, although the soldiers did not have many casualties, but their patience was consumed a lot." ”

"It's time for the rest of the catapults, half of which begin to double their shooting, and the remaining half, evacuate immediately." Li Xuan gave a decisive order.

"Obey!" Yao Zhi immediately surrendered his hand.

They had no intention of defending the Three Rivers Pass.

For Li Xuan, the terrain of Sanheguan is not suitable for much play.

Although there is a certain topographical advantage here, this advantage has been greatly offset by the warships.

Li Xuan's most effective cavalry can't be played here at all.

There is also a fire attack, which is also very unsuitable.

So there is only the withdrawal.

……

A full moon hung high in the air, the earth was transparent, and Wen Fuzhi finally set foot on the Sanhe Pass.

Zhu Zhu and his subordinates immediately greeted him, and hurriedly said: "Chief Administrator, the king of Nanchang has withdrawn everything that can be withdrawn in advance, leaving us only an empty city. ”

"It's good to have an empty city, I'm really worried that when you enter, the entire gate suddenly catches fire, and then burns all of you to death." Wen Fu subconsciously sneered, and then looked in the northwest direction: "It's just that it's summer now, and there is rarely a northwest wind, even if there is something wrong with this Sanhe Pass, it is they who burn it, so the king of Nanchang wants to withdraw." ”

"The Grand Governor is very true." Zhu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, since Wen Fuzhi was in charge of the water division, they had reconnected with Muzhou, and they knew more about the details of the battle of Meiling Pass, and they also knew more about the methods of the king of Nanchang.

"The terrain here is not suitable for the king of Nanchang to play, but on this Wujiang River, there is always a place suitable for the king of Nanchang to play, we must be careful." Wen Fuzhi walked towards the Sanhe Pass Inner Middle School.

Just a few steps in, a gray-clothed team leader came out directly, and reported to Wen Fuzhi and Zhu Jun: "The chief manager, the captain, brothers Soon after the meal, many people had diarrhea, and we ...... We found croton flour in the seized granary grain......"

"Croton powder?" Zhu Jun smashed his fist with hatred and scolded angrily: "Damn King Nanchang, don't use serious means, make full use of these crooked ways." ”

"How many people are there, can they still act overnight tonight?" Wen Fuzhi hurriedly asked, he also hoped to reach the county seat of Lanxi in the early morning of tomorrow.

"Thirty percent of the brothers......" Before the report of the team was completed, the footsteps behind him sounded again.

Wen Fuzhi hurriedly turned around, and saw a team leader holding a long knife, rushing from outside the city.

His breathing was very heavy, and there was still a large patch of blood on his left cheek, and before he could stand still, he had already handed over his hand to report: "Captain Qiyu, Chief Administrator of Qiyu, we suddenly encountered three hundred cavalry, and under a charge from the cavalry, we have been scattered, and after the cavalry has been killed, they will withdraw." ”

"Where are our people now?" Wen Fuzhi asked coldly.

"I've returned to the castle." The team leader lowered his head in shame.

"How many of our people died." Wen Fuzhi asked again.

"A hundred people were killed in battle, and more than 200 were wounded." The team leader bowed his head stiffly.

"Three hundred cavalry, it is easy for my front army to be frustrated, King of Nanchang, he doesn't want me to leave Sanhe Pass easily!" Zhu Zhu waved his hand and motioned for the team to lead down, and then Zhu Zhu drove everyone out.

At this time, he looked at Wen Fuzhi and said: "With these cavalry here, let alone today, even tomorrow, we don't want to leave the vicinity of the river easily, and we only have two days of grain and grass......

"No, it's only one day, and under the battle, the consumption of military food has accelerated." Wen Fuzhi looked at the south, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn King Nanchang, he is trying to drive us to a dead end!" ”

"Although the west bank of the Wujiang River is not easy to get on, but on the east bank of the Wujiang River, there are still some people and hunters, as long as we find the people and hunters, we can sell or borrow from them, in exchange for some grain." Zhu Jun hurriedly figured out a way.

Wen Fuzhi shook his head, laughed at himself, and said: "Believe it or not, the king of Nanchang may have already ordered people to move away temporarily, on the east bank, we can only find some footholds, if we want to really find food, the only place is Lanxi County, maybe this is the calculation of the king of Nanchang." ”

Wen Fuzhi has now seen through Li Xuan's thoughts, he just wants to force them to go to Lanxi County, and make them unable to divide their troops.

And there is no doubt that the current county seat of Lanxi has long been ready for war.

"Let's attack the city again, Lanxi County is not a city that is easy to capture like Sanheguan and Meilingguan." Zhu Jun's face was embarrassed for a while.

Whether it's Sanhe Pass or Meiling Pass, it's just a small pass after all, but Lanxi County is different.

Even if they have more than 20 ships in their hands, if they want to capture Lanxi County, it will cost a lot of money.

And, most crucially, time.

"Since this is the case, then we will do the opposite, leaving some people to attack Lanxi, and the other part will continue to go up the river until we reach the city of Muzhou, and then the opportunity will come."

Wen Fuzhi's eyes flashed with the idea of calculation, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

However, Wen Fuzhi didn't know that on the waterway from Lanxi to the Wujiang River, there was a place called Yanxi.
