Chapter 739: Small Battle

There was a rare peace on the front line for a few days.

The previous days of fierce attacks were fruitless, and Huan Wen simply rested his soldiers.

"There is the Yangtze River moat, the armies don't have to worry too much, when Chibi was defeated, the world was divided into three, and now although the Liang country is strong, if it can be defeated, the situation of the north and the south can be equalized, I hereby swear, if I can break the Liang army, I should share the world equally with you!"

At the military meeting, Huan Wen was full of words and impassioned.

Not to mention anything else, Huan Wen is not bad to his subordinates, the Jingzhou army has done nothing in Jiangdong, and has made a windfall from top to bottom, and he is grateful to Huan Wen.

The generals of the Wei and Jin dynasties all had a personal dependency relationship, and many of the generals were actually subordinates of the Huan family.

Twenty years of prestige is still there, and there are still many people who are willing to follow him all the way to the dark.

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" The generals said with indignation.

"Hahaha, Dashan, the Liang thief army is not effective, if you can help me break the vanguard of the thief army, then the momentum of the Liang army can be half gone!" Huan Wen continued to agitate the morale of the army.

Don't look at Liang Xiao and Deng Yao's martial arts in the wet beard, in fact, the offensive is insufficient, and a wet beard city is enough to stop them.

Moreover, there is the Yangtze River after the wet beard.

One of the most elite sailors in Jiangdong has always been pinched in Huan Wen's hands.

"Fight to the death!"

The generals shouted feverishly.

If they block the Liang army, they will be the nobles of the Chu State, and this temptation is not insignificant.

"Without further ado, march quickly and defeat the traitor Xie Xuan!" Huan Wen waved his hand.

The generals raised their heads and boarded the warships, and thousands of warships, large and small, raised their sails like clouds.

"Xie Xuan's troops are all surrendered soldiers, the combat strength is weak, our army has gathered several times the strength, and it will definitely be able to break its naval army in one battle, and if the naval army does not exist, the Yangtze River is unique to our army, and Jiangdong can be suspended for a while." Xi Chao never gave up on Huan Wen.

This decisive attack is also Xi Chao's suggestion.

If you want to stop the Liang army, you must obtain the right to control water.

On land, the Chu army was naturally no match for the Liang army, but on the mighty Yangtze River, the Chu army had at least half a chance of winning.

Moreover, Xie Xuan's troops are not the Black Cloud Army.

"Xie Xuan came in a hurry, and the subordinates under his command still have my internal response, and they will definitely be able to break it, but in Jiankang City, I am only afraid of those people at both ends!" Huan Wen knows too well the virtues of the scholars, and if he has milk, he is a mother, without the slightest discipline.

"As long as Your Majesty still has a strong soldier, the scholars will not dare to betray easily, Xie An has a good reputation, if he does disloyal and unrighteous things, and bends his knees to the north, he will be laughed at by the world's celebrities, and the reputation of the Xie family for decades will also disappear!"

No matter how shameless it is in private, it is still necessary to set up a memorial arch to support the façade.

Even the Sima family held high the signboard of "filial piety".

Liang Guo took the initiative to persuade him to surrender, and the Shi clan took the initiative to surrender, and his face was completely different.

"What the guest said is exactly what he said!" Huan Wen pressed the hilt of the sword, boarded a building boat, stood on the bow of the ship and sang a long song, "Chaofa Guangmomen, stay in Danshui Mountain at dusk." The left hand is bent and weak, and the right hand is waved ......"

Liu Kun's Fufeng song has its own tragic atmosphere.

But from Huan Wen's mouth, it was more strong than sad.

After two days of marching, they met the Liang army, and the river surface was like ten thousand horses galloping, colliding with each other, and sawdust flew.

Xie Xuan's army was about 13,000 people, most of whom were ships and fighting ships.

There are more than 20,000 Huanwen water troops, but there are five building ships.

The bigger the ship, the more dominant the water battle, the five building ships each have a stern to escort, and a large number of crossbow machines are laid on the ship, like five fierce tigers rampage on the river.

The Liang army was summoned from various places in the past two months, and although the morale was high, there were still big problems in coordination.

In the face of the onslaught of the Chu army, they fought separately, and there was chaos on the river.

The Beifu army on the shore was powerless.

At a critical moment, Xie Xuanyi gritted his teeth, "Release rockets and fireboats!" ”

"As soon as the fireboat is released, there is no ...... between the enemy and the enemy," Wang Tanzhi exclaimed.

"If you don't let go of the fireboats, our army is all finished." Xie Xuan has made up his mind.

The heralds rushed away, and soon there were dots of fireboats on the river, floating down the river, and the rockets swept across the sky and flew into the river, igniting many ships that were fighting on the side, and the flames rose on the river.

More than a dozen soldiers who were covered in flames screamed and jumped from the boat into the water.

On the shore, Xie Xuan watched everything silently......

Chaisang.

Li Yue finally received the news that the navy and Haoqiang had joined forces to send troops to Jiankang, and he was relieved.

It is not easy to build this navy, the investment is huge, and the key is extremely time-consuming, if it is swallowed up by a hurricane, I don't know how much time and energy will be invested in recovery.

Without the assistance of the Navy, Li Yue's clean-up plan could not have been implemented.

Although it is possible to do it yourself, there are many troubles.

Some time ago, the scholars in Jiankang City were still waiting for the Liang to surrender them.

Some people are impatient, and they have already sent all kinds of news from Jiangdong to Chaisang in advance.

As long as the soldiers of the king of Daliang came to the city, they would ascend to the heights and shout, set things right, abandon the darkness and turn to the light......

Li Yue felt a burst of disdain in his heart.

These people defected to Daliang, but they were afraid that the atmosphere of the court would also be damaged.

The well-dressed people crossed to the south, and the scholars also lost their local support and lived in Jiangdong, which was equivalent to sending people under the fence and had no common people's base, so removing them would not cause local resentment.

The contradiction between the "Northern Ling" and the "Southern Raccoon Dog" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for so many years is far above the contradiction between Daliang and Jiangdong.

Coupled with the misdeeds of the Huanwen Jingzhou soldiers, the people of Jiangdong will only hate the well-dressed warriors even more.

"Your Majesty, the front-line battle report, Huan Wen personally led 20,000 sailors, traced the river, assaulted our army's navy, and fought in the tiger forest, although Huan Wen was repelled, the navy suffered heavy casualties, and the warships were damaged six or seven out of ten, General Xie pleaded guilty." Lu Qingyu reports.

"Xie Xuan was defeated?" Li Yue was slightly surprised.

"Our casualties are superior to those of the enemy." Lu Qing said very tactfully.

Li Yue paced two steps, the Jiangdong Navy still has some combat power, and Huan Wen can't be underestimated, after all, he defeated Cheng Han, and during the first Northern Expedition, he defeated Qin several times, attacked Guanzhong Tun Bingba, and shot and killed Fu Chang, the prince of Qin.

Although Huan Wen's combat power is confusing, it is a touchstone.

Those who can defeat him are basically the best in the world.

Although Xie Xuan is talented, after all, he is young, and it is not surprising that the troops of all roads were hastily gathered and defeated at the hands of Huan Wen's elite navy.

And now Huan Wen has been forced into a desperate situation, and there is no way to retreat, so he can only fight to the death.

When Misu launched a counterattack, in the face of the Black Cloud Elite, he could also play a record of one win, one defeat and one draw.

Not everyone can have the level of Han Xin and Huo Quzhi, and they are born to be famous generals.

"A small defeat, it doesn't hurt, or I will personally meet Huan Wen for a while, give orders, and raise troops." Li Yue got up from the soft couch.

Now that the navy has been dispatched, it is time to give Huan Wen the final blow.

Others are really not necessarily his opponents, in the last battle of Hefei, Deng Yao was able to defeat him, how much he grasped Huan Wen's psychological weakness.

On the frontal battlefield, Huan Wen still has the strength to fight.

In terms of the current situation, the navy is actually not important, the Black Cloud Xiaocai and the Xuanjia Army have already crossed the Yangtze River and can go down the river.
