With the stability of the war situation on both sides of the strait, Guan Yu Liutun 10,000 people surrounded Xiangyang and sealed Hanshui to personally preside over the overall situation in the camp, and sent his son Guan Ping, the former governor Zhao Lei, and Ma Liang, a military adviser, to lead 20,000 elite sailors to support along the waterway.

Above the river, the mist is getting thicker and the snow is fluttering.

Han and Wu sailed along the water, one south and one north.

Both sides are hurrying straight to the Jiangjin ferry.

In the rear at this time, although the two armies have basically fallen into a standoff since Lü Meng defeated the riverside water village, the battle still has not stopped.

The first is the battle around Sun Huan's department.

Lü Meng originally wanted to send an elite group of troops to rush straight to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in a large boat, and then turn to the south and go north to rescue the troops trapped in Zhijiang City.

Unexpectedly, too few sailors were dispatched, and Bo Liaohua, the lord stationed in the new city, decisively sent ships to intercept them.

Once Lü Meng sent additional troops, Huo Yi, who was stationed in the old city, quickly gathered his troops and tried to gather a large army to attack the Wu army's water village.

This move immediately caused Lu Meng to transfer most of the troops back to strengthen the defense.

In the battle on the outskirts of the old city, Cao Bing's strong infantry and offensive strength made him have to be jealous.

Not to mention that after Huo Yi settled in Jiangling, he summoned skilled craftsmen to hurry up to build siege weapons.

Lu Meng can only take care of the overall situation, and he can't put the water village in danger in order to rescue Sun Huan's department.

If we ignore the large-scale dispatch of troops and horses to bypass Jiangling and march westward, if the water camp on the riverside is broken again, the rear road of the army will be completely cut off.

Due to the close cooperation between Huo Yi and Liao Hua, Lu Meng, who has always been full of strategies, was helpless to rescue Sun Huan's department.

Bypassing Jiangling and advancing westward from the Yangtze River, if the number of troops is small, it will be pursued by Liaohua's column.

There are more soldiers and horses, and Shuizhai is threatened by Huo Yi again.

For a moment, Lu Meng was in a dilemma.

With the stalemate of the current situation, due to Huo Yi's previous clearing of the strong walls of the land west of Nanzhangshui, Sun Huan's army has gradually begun to run out of food under the internal and external difficulties.

At night, Wu people continued to take advantage of the night to escape and join the Hawking camp.

Even if Sun Huan heard the news of this situation and tried his best to suppress it, in the face of endless hunger, even if he was a soldier, he could not withstand the test of human nature.

There are countless people who fled to the Jingzhou military camp.

Just when Sun Huan's troops were about to collapse untenably, the latest military information suddenly came from the east.

Gangneung Old Town.

Huo Yi clenched his sword tightly, staring into the distance, quietly listening to the scout's return.

"General Qiyu Huo, according to the investigation, after Sun Quanqin, the lord of Jiangdong, led more than 10,000 people to rush up the river to the Lukou camp, he secretly sent his general Jiang Qin and thousands of elite sailors into the water to occupy the Jiangjin ferry and arrange the defense."

"Most of the troops and horses of the major general who returned south with the main force were intercepted here, and it was difficult to return by land on the shore, nor could it turn the tributaries of Xiashui back to Jiangling."

With the scout's solemn face arched over the truth.

Huo Yi's face also changed with his words, and it was quite dignified.

"Sure enough~ Sun Quan really sent a large army to seize Jiangjindu, the only place for the main force to return to the division, in advance."

Hearing this, his expression was quite calm, and he muttered secretly with fear.

When he had just defeated Lü Meng and ordered him to retreat to the riverside water village, he vaguely felt the seriousness of the situation, if the Wu army divided his troops to intercept the reinforcements with superior forces.

The situation in Gangneung will not improve.

"This time the reinforcements were blocked from crossing Jiangjin, and it was difficult to return in the short term, but Jingzhou was seriously infiltrated by Lu Meng, and if the main force was delayed for a longer time, the situation might be uncontrollable~"

Thinking to himself, Huo Yi also knew that because of his defeat of Lu Meng several times before, he had saved some of the dignitaries in Jiangling City, or some of the civil and military officials who wanted to join Jiangdong, temporarily suppressed their restless thoughts and wanted to support Wu Jun to enter Jingzhou.

With the victory of World War II, he stabilized the people who wanted to betray.

But now, once the reinforcements are intercepted, it is difficult to return to the reinforcements, and after a long time, I am afraid that it will change later.

"We must find a way to break the situation, if we continue to sit in the city, the initiative may be completely ceded to Jiangdong......"

Huo Yi's mind surged and he began to think of a way to break the situation.

But just as his thoughts were diverging, another hurried step rushed over at a rapid pace.

"Huh... General Yu, after the Wu army in Zhijiang City heard that the Wu general Jiang Qin had seized the Jiangjin ferry, he now led his troops to attack our army outside the city, and wanted to trap the beast to fight to the south of Zhangshui, where our defense was weak, and crossed the river to join most of the Wu army. ”

This news of the military information also made Sun Huan seem to have found a life-saving straw, and immediately organized his subordinates to break through along the relatively weak river where the Jingzhou military defense line was deployed in the north.

"The order went down and ordered the soldiers of Governor Hawking's Nanzhangshui Department to be sure to annihilate Sun Huan's troops."

As soon as Huo Yi heard this, his expression quickly became serious, and his tone was quite harsh.

"喏~"

The order was handed down, and the herald quickly surrendered.

"Capturing Jiangjindu is really a clever move, and the whole chess game has been revitalized."

Huo Yi propped his hands on the battlements, and his expression was undoubtedly a little ugly.

This move can be said to have completely disrupted Huo Yi's previous deployment.

Both battles defeated Lü Meng, crushing the Wu army's plot to quickly take Jiangling.

According to his calculations, as long as they hold each other and wait for the main force to come back, they can blow the horn of the counteroffensive and push back Jiangdong.

But now that his own reinforcements were blocked, the army could not return to Jiangling, and the situation of emptiness in the rear could not be changed.

The previous measures to infiltrate Jingzhou and lure civil and military officials came in handy.

Huo Yi's eyes scanned the outside world tightly, and his mind was constantly thinking, but he didn't think of another way to break the game for the time being, which undoubtedly made him a little restless.

However, it is not without good news.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, Hawking sent people to send good news that he had beheaded hundreds of people and captured nearly 1,000 Wu soldiers.

Then he passed by Dangyang in embarrassment and fled to Jiangjindu, almost sparing himself.

It can be described as a fiasco!

With the success of Hawking's battle, he escorted the ambush soldiers back to Gangneung City in triumph.

When Huo Yi heard the news, he quickly arranged for the soldiers to stand outside the old city to greet each other on both sides.

When the two brothers met, Hawking saw that although his brother was smiling on the surface, he was very familiar with his temperament, but he could see that he was hiding something on his mind, and he was not so excited.

"Ah Yi, this time we almost wiped out the more than 2,000 people who attacked Yiling in the west, which is considered a great victory, although it is harmless to escape the clan general Sun Huan, right?"

"Why don't you seem to be in high spirits?"

"Yes?" As soon as the words fell, Huo Yi reluctantly squeezed out a smile on his face in response.

"Haha~" As soon as the words fell, I saw Hawking laugh and said, "Ah Yi, we grew up together, it's not clear what kind of character you are a brother?" ”

"Don't hide it from me~"

Hearing this, Huo Yi also had a solemn look on his face, "Brother, don't misunderstand, Yi is not unhappy with the total annihilation of Wu Bing, but there is something else~"

"Most of the Wu army has seized Jiangjindu, and it will be difficult for our sailors to return to Jiangling in the short term."

"Yi is worried that the battle situation is stalemate, and the current situation in the city will become more and more undercurrent, which is not good for our army~"

When these words fell, who expected Hawking to be unimpressed and said, "Brother Wei, do you think there is something that stumps you?" That's it......"

"Brother believes that with the ability of the young general, he will definitely be able to quickly break through the Wu army to block and return to the division, so don't worry."

"I hope so~"

Hearing the comfort of the clan brother, Huo Yi relaxed a little, but still responded with a wry smile.

Seeing that the clan brother was not happy, Hawking laughed and said, "By the way~ Ah Yi, all the soldiers outside the city want to see you after hearing that Wu Bing was completely annihilated." ”

"See me? Why do you want to see me?"

"The people said that the Wu army was brutal, and if it weren't for Ah Yi, you moved to the east of Nanzhangshui in advance, I'm afraid the losses would have been even greater."

"Therefore, the villagers and elders all admired Ah Yi and wanted to come to see him and thank him."

As soon as these words fell, Huo Yi, who had no clue and had no way to break the enemy, suddenly heard the words of his clan brother, and his face shook, "Admiration? ”

"Yes, yes~"
