The elite of the Jin army were all transferred to the northern battlefield by Huan Wen, and the water village was full of the old, weak, sick and disabled.

At this time, the news of the defeat in Hefei had reached the south, and the people were panicked.

The iron cavalry rushed in, collapsed at the first touch, and quickly occupied the water village.

However, there are only dozens of small sampans in the village, and the big ships all went north to rescue Huan Wen, and it is not meaningful to take this water village.

Unless you can break through the opposite side of the city.

But this city has always been an important town in Jiangbei, and during the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Wu fought four times here, and never fell.

The Liang army was all cavalry, lacking both large boats to cross the river and siege equipment.

"Who is the defender of this city?" Li Yue asked.

If it was Xie Shang, Yin Hao and the like, Li Yue would not hesitate to cross the water and attack.

The scout arched his hand and said: "Jin Xizhonglang will be Yuan Zhen." ”

There is no doubt that Yuan Zhen is a Jiangdong general, who has followed Yu Yi and Yin Hao's Northern Expedition, conquered Hefei, and fought many tough battles.

"The army rests." Seeing that it was getting late, Li Yue could only give an order and wait for the rear foot soldiers to arrive before he had a chance to break through the city and stop Huan Wen.

The army stayed in the water village.

Twilight soon fell, Li Yue looked at the opposite side, and the city gradually disappeared into the night, without a single bit of fire, as if it was a beast hidden in the night.

"Your Majesty, Huan Wen knows that our army is in the wet beard, and it is coming at full speed, and it is expected to be here tomorrow!" The soldiers all slept in armor, and only the scouts kept coming, coming and going.

"Where are our foot soldiers?"

"It is still at the boundary of Chao County, and the second generals Gao and Lu are coming from the starry night."

Calculating the time, it will almost come tomorrow, and there is still a chance.

"Send some people to keep an eye on the city opposite, set up more secret sentries, and report as soon as there is any trouble." Li Yue looked at the city that disappeared into the night, and always felt that the silence on the other side was a little weird.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

It is said that the other side knows that Hefei is defeated, and the army is approaching the city, no matter how much it should roar twice to strengthen its courage.

Unless...... Yuan Zhen prepared to attack at night or flee.

Li Yue had a plan in his mind, and secretly ordered the soldiers to be half rested and half on guard.

Before the second half of the night, there was movement on the other side.

A naval army crossed the river at night to prepare for a night attack, only to be spotted by scouts and secret sentinels.

Li Yue was overjoyed, there was nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it didn't take much effort to get it, even if the infantry army came, it would not be easy to capture the city, but Yuan Zhen sent it to the door by himself It was another matter.

The soldiers also waited excitedly, clenching their swords and spears in the dark, staring at the river.

The moonlight cast on the surface of the river, and it was white.

But the whiteness did not dispel the darkness around it, and the "squeak" of the oars could be heard on the water, as if a large fish was slowly swimming into the net.

As long as they go ashore, they will definitely die, and the city can also take advantage of the situation to break through, if Yuan Zhen is captured, the entire Yangtze River defense line will be in danger.

Just when Li Yue wanted to get into the wrong, the war drums suddenly thundered on the river, and the fire was magnificent, reflecting dozens of warships hanging in the heart of the river.

With a bang, countless rockets slid across the sky and shot towards the water village.

Some shot at the fence and the sampan by the river, burning slowly.

"Kill all the northern captives!"

There was a lot of noise on the surface of the river, and there seemed to be countless people and horses, but they just didn't go ashore, so they shouted hysterically.

Later, he stopped shooting arrows......

After making a fuss for half an hour, he rowed back again.

"Jiangdong is full of rats!" was so angry that the black cloud generals scolded.

Li Yue was depressed for a while, and after preparing for most of the night, the fish rubbed against the mouth of the net and retreated.

Could it be that Yuan Zhen found out?

Thinking about it carefully, Yuan Zhen has fought all his life, and now he is at least fifty or sixty years old, as stable as an old dog, several Northern Expeditions, others were defeated, but he returned with all the troops.

From his standpoint, as long as he holds the city and responds to Huan Wen's southward movement, there is no need to take the risk of attacking the water village on the east coast.

Li Yue secretly said that it was a pity, it seemed that he could only wait for the foot soldiers to come tomorrow.

After inspecting the camp, just about to go to bed, there was another noise on the river, and Yuan Zhen went and returned.

Li Yue was shocked in his heart, at this time, the soldiers had already taken off their guards, if Yuan Zhen launched a fierce attack, it would be extremely dangerous, so he quickly ordered the soldiers to line up.

There was a commotion among the men and horses, and the soldiers hurriedly lined up.

Unexpectedly, the Jin army just roared for a while and retreated.

Li Yue stared at the river in a daze, although he knew that Yuan Zhen was suspicious, but he had to be vigilant, the virtual is real, the real is false, maybe Yuan Zhen will really kill.

In the second half of the night, Yuan Zhen came three more times, and when the soldiers were accustomed to it and relaxed their vigilance, they really came ashore and burned more than a dozen camp tents, and when the Black Cloud Army raised their knives to cut them, hundreds of people jumped directly into the river with their bare butts and disappeared......

It was noisy until dawn.

The soldiers were extremely tired, and even the horses were disturbed.

"Report to Your Majesty, our army's infantry was attacked by the Dongguan Deng Yao Department last night and couldn't come on time." Scouts burst out of the morning light.

Deng Yao and Yuan Zhen are both fellow villagers and cousins, with great courage and strength, and their anger covers the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and they are called Fan Hao at the time.

There is Jiao in the north of Xiangyang, often harming people, Deng Yao draws his sword into the water, Jiao wraps around his feet, swings the sword to intercept Jiao several sections and comes out, the name shocks Jiangdong, the reputation is still above Huan Shiqian, known as the first fierce general in Jiangdong.

Huan Wen's Northern Expedition was defeated, and after Deng Yao was ordered to break off, his department shot and wounded Fu Chang, and died of serious injuries.

Deng Yao's dispatch of troops must have been ordered by Yuan Zhen.

I often walk by the river, but today my shoes are wet.

Now it seems that Yuan Zhen deliberately gave up the eastern water village.

Li Yue looked at the wide river, not all of Jiangdong were wine bags and rice bags, and Yuan Zhen's hand was extremely beautiful.

saved Huan Wen's life, and also saved Jiangdong once!

How could the huge Jiangdong not have talents?

"The wet beard is no longer available, and the order is given, the whole army will go east and attack Juchao, Hengjiang, Liyang, and Tutang! The infantry army took in the people behind. Li Yue adjusted his strategy.

Huan Wen is no longer available, his naval army and Yuan Zhen converge, the momentum will inevitably rise, on the water, Li Yue admits that he is not Jiangdong's opponent.

The soldiers took out their horses and took more than an hour to get ready to go.

Disturbed by Yuan Zhen last night, the faces of the soldiers were obviously tired, and even the war horses were listless.

At this time, the sky has been bright, on the opposite bank of the city of the "Jin" word hung high, the water is in the north, Huan Wen's naval warship gradually reveals a huge body from the water waves and river fog.

Getting closer.

You can almost see the figure standing at the bow of the ship, condescending, surrounded by a group of armor soldiers behind him.

In line with the principle of killing people and punishing the heart, Li Yue ordered the soldiers to shout to the river together: "Kill the royal family, restore Shenzhou, why be a prisoner of Chu?" ”

The sound is rushing with the river, back and forth.

Kill the royal family, recover Shenzhou, how to be a prisoner of Chu!

In today's Jiangdong, how many people still have the ambition of Director Wang?

The shouts rippled out, shaking the land of Jiangbei.

The man at the bow of the ship turned around again and returned to the cabin.

Li Yue threw his horsewhip into the water, laughed and turned his horse's head, and galloped eastward with the river.
