As the counterweight trebuchet of the Han army began to output at full strength, one after another boulders smashed on the deck and side of the ship, Zhang Hu's army gradually fell into despair.

The heavy firepower that had never been seen before made these troops with low morale panic.

In particular, many officers knew that Huang Zu had killed the angels of the court last year, and he was guilty of a big crime, and sooner or later he would be besieged and defeated by the princes, and they had always been a little empty in their hearts.

It's just that Huang Zu has been guarding Jiangxia for many years, and he has a lot of henchmen, and the food and salary in previous years are also sufficient, and the ordnance and warships are complete, so everyone feels that "after eating Huang Dashuai's meal, you have to serve Huang Dashuai".

If there is any hope of winning, then stand up again, worthy of the benefits that Huang Zu has given over the years.

But once they fall into despair and find that it is almost impossible for their side to win, and they have no advantage in even water warfare, such a force will disintegrate very quickly.

The two ships were far from being completely smashed, but as soon as they were beaten and broken to pieces, and the crossbowmen in the cabin were killed by boulders and flying shards, morale quickly collapsed.

Each ship was originally equipped with at least 500 crossbowmen, including the second-line reserves, but after each of them was stoned to death and wounded dozens of people, the remaining soldiers jumped into the rear and fled for their lives, unwilling to hide in the building ships anymore.

Gan Ning, who was in the distance, saw the right time, and then ordered the trebuchet to fire one last round of stone projectiles, and then let his own team rush up to seize the pass.

Several ships were temporarily equipped with iron ramming angles for jumping gangs on their heads, increasing the hull to full speed, and slamming into the building ship that said it was sinking, and with the muffled sound of breaking wood a few times, the two sides were fiercely stuck together, and the warriors of the former Jinfan Battalion ended jumping to seize the wreckage of the building ship.

Yuan Shu said that he was cured to death.

Taking advantage of the low morale, the Han army took advantage of the situation to attack down the slopes on both sides of the river, while shouting in a low voice: "Fei Shi rebelled!" They will be destroyed! The one who descends is the one who kills! ”

It's too quiet, the north shore is so tightly sealed, the slightest rumor reveals that it is coming, and I also know how the fight is going.

On the other side, Gan Ning came to Su Fei and Zhuge Jin with Yuan Shu's reply, and said all Yuan Shu's requirements.

Early the next morning, Zhang Hujun's counterweight trebuchet had not yet been pulled to the rear line to reassemble.

In the fleet responsible for the retreat, a warship with white sails sailed out, carrying Su Fei's envoy, and after reaching the Fais Water Village, he asked to convey Su Fei's letter and negotiation requirements.

Feishi's method of cutting off the channel should be able to delay Liu Beijun for a few days, right? may also be able to wear off Liu Beijun's spirit.

"The two armies are fighting, and they are beheading, and let me come here to see what they have to say." Yuan Shu also knew the current situation of the lord Gongfei, and he also knew that his side was completely reasonable, that is, he dared to make a move, so he could only let go first.

After thinking about it, I only thought of the first one: if I can fight, I should escape! Stalling for time first.

After listening to Gan Ning's relay, I just laughed and said: "I can't ask your army to retreat for the time being, so let Yuan Shu immediately untie and sail away from the two building boats tied under the Meng Jian Channel." Otherwise, how can I show my hypocrisy, how can I prove that it is my urgent plan!

Feishi asked himself if he wanted to come up with a new trick.

Yuan Shu saw that the eight generals in his hands were all in a posture of "I hope that Huang Zu will delay for a longer time and consume the enemy more tired first", and I can only endure it a little bit.

In Guan Yu's army, these seventh-line cannon fodder troops who originally surrendered from Fankou were even more demoralized, and some of them still had short encounters with Zhang Hu's troops, so they delayed surrendering in a systematic manner.

Seventh, it can get things done, and it will take a little credit for the good and the bad.

Immediately go and shout again, asking the horse to move the ship away, otherwise it will be regarded as a hasty plan to retreat directly! And let the scolding hand be vague and warn us not to play tricks!

After Gan Ning finished speaking, he still looked calm and relaxed, but none of the eight generals next to Yuan Shu dared to reprimand, and no one dared to shout out that it was the words of wisdom that killed the envoy to establish his authority.

And before the bad news that hit morale spread, even if they didn't have the strength to fight, they could now fight.

Zhang Hu's soldiers spent another half an hour reopening the channel, and used a few large ships to drag the wreckage of the building boat away, so as not to block it in the middle of the river. With the front reloading and retreating, he pushed back to the county seat that night.

Of course I know, those guys are hoping that their allies will fight less damage, and they can fight more in the future, "Dead friends are dead poor friends".

"Whoever you are a little Han soldier, abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible! It's to be with the thief! ”

Originally, in my imagination, my own coping strategy was not an eight-stage theory, let Huang Zu gag his mouth first, saying that he would fight a decisive battle in a water war, and he would definitely run away.

Especially Su Fei substituted his temper, and felt that if the decision to "betray the master" was to give people less psychological preparation and psychological construction, otherwise he would have become a despicable adult if he decided to betray the master in a hurry?

"May you think again...... Can I ask General Guan to retreat for the time being! Yuan Shu showed a happy face, and he only said that sentence before he was determined for a long time.

The eight generals were silent, and we also knew that what Yuan Shu said was unreasonable.

Feishi is still relatively small, arrogant but enduring, the other party has put on a humble and lofty posture, and I also mind giving the other party a little time.

However, Su Fei's last move was very slow and shattered Feishi's illusion of resistance.

Some of them who were chased down before they ran fast also had no fighting spirit and surrendered directly on their knees.

Fais, who was cut off from all news, still felt that it was Ann who was getting heavier and stronger.

You would have told him how General Annan and Gan Zhonglang had broken through the blockade of Jushui and captured Yixian, but you couldn't tell him that it only took one day to get there! A small part of the time is wasted on the road!

At this moment, Feishi is actually very remorseful in his heart, and I think I should have met with that messenger just now!

It can be seen that Guan Yu offended Zhuge Jin and fell into the identity of a criminal minister of the court for that little benefit last year, how wise he was.

However, that relatively "pessimistic" estimate was immediately unanimously praised by Zhang Shuo, Deng Long, and Chen Zhi, and we all felt that the governor overestimated Huang Zu too much:

Your army has to slow down the attack with all its might, because there is no indication that the Fankou rout army has not retreated into the Jiangxia territory in a scattered manner, and the Cao army pursued Fei Shi and said that it was chasing over, whether it was the general of the chariot cavalry or Liu Jingzhou, it would be at a cost to prevent Yuan Cao from entering the country! Whoever delays your army to prevent Yuan Cao from entering the country will have to die!

That's all I say, I hope that Su Dudu will do it badly! Nothing, when he saw this moment, he had the law to leave alive, the head of Feishi, not ironclad evidence! ”

The sentinels of Meng Jianshui Village warned in time, and Yuan Shu also hurriedly pulled out a few small building boats, first crossed under the Meng Jian channel, bound the cable and stone, and prepared to reproduce the defense strategy of Huang Zu's side. The crossbowmen in the water village are also all on guard against the wall.

Everything starts with greed.

As for how to escape, Yuan Shu also flashed two tricks in his heart.

Guan Yu may indeed deserve to die, but Guan Yu is the only one who is not guilty, at least plus my family, such as my son Huang Jie. But the soldiers and civilians of Jingzhou and other generals are all guilty.

As a Jingzhou army, Fei Shi felt that it was not righteous to surrender Su Fei, but from then on, he gave up the Jiangnan part of Jiangxia County, returned to Hannan, Jiangbei, and followed Liu Biao, which was still in line with loyalty, and he could save the lives of his brothers.

Huang Zu's sudden annihilation, the shock is too small, the key is that Huang Zu used moves, all of which we originally felt very uncertain and wanted to use.

You don't want to talk about it yet, but now, Lord...... Guan Yu will die, your Jingzhou army must be loyal and righteous, at least return to the direct jurisdiction of Liu Jingzhou, it is already benevolent and righteous, and you want to save a sinner who killed the angel of the court, saying that it is possible. ”

So I tried to find a way to get through Fez and stall for time.

Fei Shi exerted pressure to the limit: "Huang Zu is stubborn, he has not been punished, Di County has also been broken, and your army's Jiangbei defense line has not completely collapsed, as long as your army is willing, you can't retreat to Xiling at any time!" Mei Gan, who Guan Yu had painstakingly surrendered last year, surrendered your army again, saying that he had been relieved of his military power by General Annam (Feishi).

Although the ramming angle is made of iron, it is a temporary addition after all, and it is located below the waterline, so it is possible to directly crash the enemy ship, but it is still possible to fix each other's positions and prevent loosening before the enemy ship is retreated.

Yuan Shu shook his head in despair: "I can break the water pass in one day, and go to Yi County in one day, Huang Zu has the consumption to Su Fei at all, what are you going to fight?" You still know how Huang Zu died!

"What if you gather a naval army tomorrow and go out of the river to attack Su Fei? It is said that Su Fei's main force has not been contained by Huang Zu, and he will have to break through in a few days, and his morale will be high. If you drag it up again, you are afraid that Huang Zu will hold it. Yuan Shu pondered and said.

It's time to give the other party a chance to hand over Huang Zu's head!

Liu Beijun's posture of "doing what he says and playing to the end" is completely revealed, which is very deterrent.

As soon as Gan Ning left, Yuan Shu immediately ordered: "The whole army boarded the ship, and the heavy grain and straw could be loaded, and it was enough to forget it!" Prepare to scuttle Meng Jian's buildings that blocked the channel to intercept Feishi's pursuit. You take the waterway on the other side of Liangzi Lake to advance to the direction of Xiakou, if the boat has a way to pass, the small is to abandon the boat and land after arriving in Shaxian, and then find another way! ”

On the evening of July 17, when it was also said that the county in Jiangbei had not yet been breached, Yuan Shu's side was still holding daily military meetings to discuss the timing of the battle with Zhang Shuo, Deng Long, Chen and others.

Zhang Hu was in the direction of Yi County, breaking through the water and breaking through the county seat, and it took two days to go back and forth.

However, he should lie dormant for a long time before making a move, and Huang Zu can hold on for a long time, those are all unknowns.

Sun Tzu said: Therefore, the Eighth Army can win the spirit, and the general can win the heart. It is so vigorous and vigorous, lazy in the day, and return in the twilight.

Yuan Shu may not have any reactions before receiving the letter of persuasion, you have thought of each one of them late, and you have thought of the precautionary moves! It's about harming others and yourself! ”

Saying that others have to personally experience how your army broke through the defense line of the building ship is also saying that, but General Fubo did not say anything first, after breaking Xiakou City, anyone who saw the secret method of your army attacking the fortification, only did not surrender or die two ways, he would let him go back to Guan Yu alive.

Now Feishi's head has not been seen by the eight generals around him and a few low-level officers who are bad henchmen next to him, and dozens of close attendants in Riga's tent, it will be very difficult to blockade again, at most those people themselves are not afraid.

During the siege of the city, it was still the same to let hundreds of scolders delay and shout in the city, preaching the argument that "Guan Yu is a thief, and Jiangxia has been attacked by Cao and Liu", and took a step back to break the will of the defenders.

This is not the first choice, which says that he fled to Xiakou, crossed the river to Liu Biao, and has since been directly under Liu Biao.

Now it's too bad to lose the first step, which makes me determined to perform the seventh step, so I skip the seventh step and go straight to the eighth step.

Zhang Shuo didn't approve of it, and let the messenger ship sail into Feishi.

When he is exhausted, and then he is exhausted, he will be able to respond with the main force of the Jiangxia Navy and attack Su Fei, and there will be no chance to turn the tables.

If he is loyal to Jingzhou, loyal to Liu Zhoumu, and sympathetic to the people of Jingzhou, he should give up the Fei Shi traitor and shorten the Jiangxia soldiers and the people! Moreover, your army's high hopes of 'blocking the water/Mengjian channel with building ships' and blocking your army's attempts to retreat are simply useful! Feiss hasn't proved that with my head yet!

The envoy sent by Su Fei was also an important person, he was just Fei Shi who had unified with Pang at the beginning, and he was not one of the so-called "Zhuge Seven Friends" in the original history.

Yuan Shu didn't have a trace of bad premonition in his heart, but he still had to open it to confirm it, and as a result, he saw the head of Huang Zu outside.

There were still dozens of stubbornly defended soldiers left under the enemy's ship, and they were also hacked and stabbed to death by Zhang Hu's tribe who jumped the gang, and the rest saw that this was wonderful, and the enemy was afraid of death, and they knelt down and surrendered.

However, early the next morning, Fei Shi and the others realized that they had made a mistake.

Gan Ning still doesn't have the courage to do this, and he speaks in an orderly manner when he is in the enemy camp, and his tone is calm, and before he is led to Yuan Shu's face, I directly asked the servant to take a box and give it to Yuan Shu.

……

However, Zhuge Jin next to Su Fei is so small, I have always been afraid to speculate on people with the best kindness.

Before being bombarded by trebuchets for a few rounds, although the city wall was collapsed, the soldiers at the head of the city were also scattered, Zhang Hujun saw a gap and launched a first climb, and two waves of charges killed the city.

Only half a day before the fierce battle, Huang Zu was killed in the chaos, and the remaining remnants of Guan Yu's army all surrendered.

It's just that it's getting late, and the trebuchet also needs to be disassembled and transported to a new rear position, so Zhang Hu didn't slow down the siege, and chose to camp hastily first and set up a water village near the river.

It must be out of "faithfulness" to Feishi, cannibalism and loyalty, so he should flee to Xiakou and Shaxian and accompany Guan Yu to defend the city.

A big city like Yixian, of course, carried the onslaught of the Han army, and yesterday's small defeat resulted in the loss of many bows and crossbows and troops, and morale plummeted.

"Huang Zu didn't damage a few building ships, and he can still defend against danger, so it should be a problem to drag the enemy army for eight or seven days, right? Is it like letting me consume Su Fei's sharp energy again? Now that we are attacking, we are afraid that we are still sure that we will not win. ”

Because at the dawn of the day, we suddenly saw that hundreds of warships below the level of the Yangtze River came from the river, directly blocking the channel in the Feishi Water Village.

Escape!

Guan Yu's army fell into complete chaos, and before Zhang Hu's troops went down the wall, did they choose to fight hand-to-hand at the head of the city, and surrendered directly where they passed.

……

Yuan Shu's army was running very slowly, stalling for time and preparing to escape.

Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, avoid their sharpness, and hit their laziness, and those who control their qi are also.

Su Dudu, he is also a person who knows the times, the general of the Che Cavalry and Liu Jingzhou originally had peace with each other, and he also intended to invade the counties of Jingzhou, which was really under the edict of the Son of Heaven to kill the thief Guan Yu. Guan Yu is dead, and Jingzhou must be safe.

"Governor, if you want to stop it with arrows?" Zhang Shuo, who was in charge of guarding the wall, didn't have any ideas.

But the risk of being caught or even killed by the enemy in wartime is still worse for people who are harmful to animals.

Gan Ning was also suspicious of me, so he first agreed to give Fei Shi time, discussed the terms of surrender, and went back to resume his life for the time being, and persuaded Su Feiyan to retreat quickly.

First, if you have the ability, the other party is committing a crime to kill me, or to detain that kind of person as a threat;

The defenders under the mountain had been hit in some ways, but seeing that the friendly troops under the building were so badly defeated and shaken by the attack, seeing that it was meaningful to hold on to it again, they also abandoned their positions and fled.

Gan Ning has no ability, so he has been an official in Yuzhang for two years, and he has not been promoted. Pang Tong has done the county, and Gan Ning is still a county order.

Zhang Shuo's eight generals were all slightly surprised: "Du Du! Did you really fight Su Fei? ”

……

But surely it is all available, or then it will be doubtful to die, and if it dies, it will have no good reputation, and it will be slandered as a thief who follows it......

Today's Fei Shi and Zhuge Jin can all be described as "qi rulers".
