Wuliang Toduo, who returned to the camp, looked calm, and Tang Zhan had a meeting on the river tonight, and it seemed that he had a premeditated plan, and urgently ordered the deployment of all armies, ready to move......

"Someone—" Uliang Tuo said as he sat down in front of the meeting and returned to his old cold face.

"Yes, General—" The soldier below replied, turning.

"How is the battle for the defense of the South Gate?" Ura Todo finally cared about the situation on the land route.

"Back to the general, the south gate is defended, the enemy's attack is rapid, and our army has suffered a lot of losses...... But fortunately, General Usulji calmly commanded on the spot, held the city wall, and although he suffered heavy casualties, he did not allow the enemy to occupy a corner of the city.

"And now?" continued Uliang Todo, "it seems that the direction of the south gate is much quieter at night, has the enemy stopped attacking the city?"

"It's stopped for the time being, General......," the soldier continued, "Just now there was news from General Usulji, the enemy army has stopped the siege and camped in front of the city, but the elevated chariots of the siege have not retreated, and it seems that the enemy army is preparing to recuperate for the night, and will continue the siege tomorrow morning-"

Urliang Toduo roughly understood the situation, nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "The siege has been temporarily stopped, and General Usu Erji should be recuperating at this time...... Go, General Mursulgi came to see me—"

"Yes—" After the soldier received the order, he turned and left the general's mansion......

"The last general Usu Erji sees the general!" "Usu Erji acted very quickly, and after getting the order, he rushed to the general's mansion as soon as possible, and he hadn't even changed the armor on his body, and there were blood stains soaked in the daytime.

Uliang Todo didn't beat around the bush, and asked straight to the point: "General Usu Erji, I heard that the battle to defend the city at the south gate during the day was very tragic, and tell me about the battle losses in front of the army——"

"Okay, General-" Wu Suerji reported carefully, "General Hui, tonight our army counted the battle losses, nearly half of the 5,000 soldiers defending the city were killed and wounded, counting the wounded soldiers who can continue to fight, the guards at each pass of the city wall can be divided into two hundred soldiers; twenty arrows and crossbows and catapults were destroyed, seven of which were destroyed, of which two arrows were scarce; on the city wall, the enemy used artillery fire and heavy stones to exert pressure, and about 30% of the damage was damaged, if the enemy army stormed the city gate tomorrow, I am afraid that it would be difficult to defend it...... Based on the current military situation, our army's battle losses are greater than the enemy's, and if the enemy attacks like this continuously the day after tomorrow, our army can hold out for two days at most-"

"It doesn't matter, even if you can only hold on for one day, it doesn't matter......" Who knows, the seemingly tense battle situation, Wuliang Tuoduo seems extremely relaxed, "Xiangyang City is short of troops, and now it is surrounded by enemy troops by land and water, and it is only a matter of time before it falls...... If you want to blame, you can only blame Timur for being too picky and not giving Xiangyang sufficient armaments......"

Usulji didn't understand what Uliang Todo meant, not only did he ignore the loss of the city, but he even accused Timur of expanding his head in front of him. "General, you ...... What does that mean?" asked about Uliang Todo's intentions.

Wuliang Tuoduo smiled coldly, and then said: "Xiangyang, it would have been lost, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation if a city is abandoned...... However, what General Ben can't tolerate is that he didn't achieve the real goal he wanted before the city was broken...... I already know Zhao Zichuan's whereabouts, and if he is not in the enemy army, then this battle will not mean anything to me from the beginning. But...... Tang Zhan, you insulted General Ben so much tonight, and no one killed my generals and guards, before leaving, I have to make you suffer a little......"

It seems that Wuliang Tuoduo already had a plan to retaliate against Tang Zhan in his heart, but when he heard the word "leaving", he knew that Wuliang Tuoduo was leaving Xiangyang City, and Wusu Erji couldn't help asking: "General, you said you were leaving here, did you...... However, now that the enemy army is besieging the city by land and water, what are you going to do...... How do you break through here......"

"General Ben has his own way, that's why I specially summoned General Wusu Erji to come over tonight......" Wuliang Tuoduo smiled coldly, as if he had a bad plan, and then said, "Since it is a breakthrough, it is naturally reasonable to go north by water, but now Tang Zhan led the naval army to choke the Yangtze River Pass on two roads, and he can't do it if he doesn't want to do something...... If you choose the waterway, you have to give up defending the city at the south gate...... General Usulji, if General Ben asks you to be the commander-in-chief of the navy, will you appoint it?"

"The general has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and the last general will not give up!" Seeing that Uliang Tuoduo handed over such an important military position to himself as the commander-in-chief of the naval army, it can be seen that he values himself, and Usu Erji can't afford it, but things are so sudden, Usu Erji is also puzzled, so he can't help but ask excitedly, "But general, what do you do to break through...... Relevance?"

"Of course there is, otherwise I wouldn't trust you so much--don't worry, and listen to General Ben slowly......" Uliang Todo smiled slyly, and then secretly arranged a plan to break out......

Dawn the next day......

After a night of calm, Xiao Tian's navy was temporarily separated from Tang Zhan, and continued to return to the side pass to form a semi-encirclement and stand by at any time, while Tang Zhan's main naval army continued to hold the main road of the Yangtze River pass......

After sleeping quietly for a night, Xiao Tian was finally awake, he drank too much wine last night, and he couldn't remember many things clearly; he only remembered that he chatted with Su Jia on the deck for a few words, and the atmosphere was quite good, but who knew that he went back and drank a few pots with Hu Yidi, and after getting drunk, he lay on the bed in a daze, and then was woken up by Su Jia inexplicably, and Su Jia left angrily......

Early in the morning, there was no movement on the part of the enemy, so the atmosphere in the whole army was not tense. Taking advantage of his free time, Xiao Tian felt that he had made Su Jia unhappy again yesterday, so he wanted to find Su Jia to comfort him.

Su Jia stood on the board, looking at the river thoughtfully as before. However, this morning did not seem to be as calm as last night, for some reason, an extremely strong southwesterly wind blew on the river, and if it were not for the fleet to control the sails, the huge ships would have gone with the river breeze......

Xiao Tian woke up, came out of the cabin, and slowly walked to Su Jia's side again. Su Jia knew that Xiao Tian was coming, but she deliberately pretended not to care, as if she was still angry about what happened last night.

"Jia'er ......" Looking at Su Jia's unhappy face, Xiao Tian asked with some guilt, "What's the matter, this expression early in the morning, did it make you unhappy again last night?"

Su Jia glanced to the side, deliberately not looking at Xiao Tian, and complained: "Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, how happy are you to be happy......

"Hey, where did I provoke you again?It took a lot of thought to make you happy last night, and I don't have the ability to do it again......" Xiao Tian first complained to himself, and then said, "Where did I do wrong, you can tell me, otherwise how do I know why you are unhappy?"

"You ......" Su Jia didn't know how to speak, she couldn't say anything like "I kissed you on the forehead last night, but you scolded you for being a puppy", when she thought of this, Su Jia couldn't help blushing, and didn't want Xiao Tian to see it, so she deliberately turned her head and said, "Forget it, I'm in a bad mood, I don't want to pay attention to you......"

"Hey, you girl......" Xiao Tian didn't know how to answer, once a woman has a small temperament, she can't resist it, not to mention that Su Jia is not this character on weekdays, but Xiao Tian also cares about Su Jia all the time, so he simply put down the shelf and asked, "Okay, what do you say can make you happy, I will do it......"

Su Jia gritted her teeth with a red face, as if she wanted to vent for a while, and simply said, "I won't be happy about what you do, unless you ...... Unless I slap you a few times, maybe I feel better......"

When Xiao Tian heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "That's not good, it's been seen this morning, where is my face still going?" Besides, why should I slap you for no reason?"

"If it doesn't work, forget it, if I don't slap you twice, I can't be happy, how much do you like to worry about it......" Su Jia is also a rare pretty, deliberately causing a little temper.

Xiao Tian was also speechless for Su Jia like this, and muttered: "Jia'er, when did you become so willful, not like ......you at all" But looking at Su Jia's occasional petty nature, it is much stronger than putting on a cold face every day before, Xiao Tian doesn't know if this change is good or bad.

"It's not like forget it, people will always change......" Su Jia didn't want to continue to pay attention to Xiao Tian, turned around and prepared to leave, "Brother Tang Zhan's side may have a military order at any time, I will go to a place on the riverbank to observe the situation, you can continue to stay here and standby......" After speaking, Su Jia jumped lightly, flew away along the river flow, and quickly disappeared from Xiao Tian's field of vision.

"This girl is really getting more and more wild, and she can't beat her, the key is that she can't beat her......" Xiao Tian looked at Su Jia's hot and cold performance, and he also muttered to himself......

Gangdo Junction......

The southwest wind is getting stronger and stronger, and if the Mengyuan Naval Army breaks through head-on at this time, it is a tailwind trend. Tang Zhan walked out of the cabin to observe for a while, and was about to find that at the enemy's water camp, several light boats and ships were making a leading charge, as if they were going to take action against the naval positions at the Jiangdao Pass......

"General, the enemy's light boats appeared inexplicably at the mouth of the river early this morning......" The soldier reported on the side, "According to the enemy's naval formation yesterday, this move is a bit abnormal, but I don't know why-"

Tang Zhan held a pear flower spear, looked at the enemy ship on the opposite side, saw the situation of charging and breaking through, and immediately ordered nervously: "Now that the southwest wind is rising, the enemy ships seem to be about to break through - the whole army has an order, the Jiangdao pass is lined up in an iron cable formation, and the 'Miyagi phalanx' at the bow of the ship is in place, and the enemy must not be allowed to cross the bow of the ship by half a step!"

"Yes-" All the officers and men in the ship ordered in unison, the ship raised its sails, and the naval warships immediately lined up in an iron cable formation, forming a chain barrier on both sides of the high mountains on both sides of the river pass, completely blocking the road for the Mengyuan naval army to break through. Just wait for the Mengyuan army warship to approach, board the board of the ship and fight hand-to-hand with bayonets.

However, it is a little puzzling, if you board the ship and get close to break through with bayonets, the Mengyuan naval army should send a large number of warships to resist, and there is no reason to only send light boats and small boats to break through......

Tang Zhan guessed correctly, the Mengyuan Navy really started to act, the southwest wind was the strongest, and more than a dozen light boats galloped down the wind and river at the Xiangyang Water Village, and were roaring towards the vanguard naval army position.

"Just let the horses come, Wuliang Todo, I will definitely let you die on the river......" Tang Zhan looked at the galloping Mengyuan warship, his eyes were determined......

And at this moment, in Xiao Tian's waiting naval camp, Xiao Tian's troops also got the news for the first time......

"The enemy army has begun to move-" Su Jia returned from the river with light skills, and said solemnly, "Xiangyang Water Battalion, Mengyuan light boats fifteen, are attacking our army's Jiangkou position along the southwest wind!"

Xiao Tian and Hu Yidi were discussing the military on the deck, and when they heard about the enemy, Xiao Tian's first reaction was suspicious: "Jia'er, what are you talking about, light ship?"

"Yes, the light boat is fast with the wind, of course it is good at breaking through, what's wrong?" Su Jia saw that Xiao Tian was slightly puzzled, and couldn't help asking.

"Something is wrong...... Xiao Tian, who is now experienced in the military, can always unconsciously find out the suspicious points in the military, and when he heard the information sent back by Su Jia, he couldn't help but think, "Yesterday, the main force of the Mengyuan Water Army failed to attack our army's position, and today it is only a dozen light boats, just like a successful breakthrough?" I think there is something strange about this, not to mention that Wuliang Tuoduo is acting strangely and is quite scheming, and things will never be so simple......

"I agree with Ah Tian's opinion...... At this time, Su Jia also confirmed his suspicion of Uliang Todo last night, and echoed, "Today, the southwest wind that is conducive to the enemy's breakthrough is so coincidental during the day, Uliang Todo must have been prepared, we must not ......be careless."

"What's the big deal, yesterday the main force couldn't break through, and today it is just a fool's dream to break through our army's blockade with only a dozen light boats!" Hu Yidi, who was simple-minded on the side, listened to it, but he didn't care at all, "No matter what conspiracy he has with Wuliang Tuoduo, if he dares to come, we will dare to do it, and it's a big deal to kill him again!" Hu Yidi has always been belligerent, and he is also rough and outspoken when he speaks.

However, Xiao Tian, as the main general at this time, was extremely calm, thinking for a moment, and continued to ask: "Brother Tang Zhan has an order for us to support?"

"Not yet-" Su Jia replied decisively, "Maybe Brother Tang Zhan thinks that more than a dozen light boats risking death to break through are simply moths to the fire, and we don't need to do it......"

"If we don't have an order, we won't move for the time being-" Xiao Tian said categorically, "Don't act rashly, I always feel that Uliang Todo is playing some tricks......

Su Jia nodded and agreed with Xiao Tian's plan to stay still......

Gangdo Junction......

The enemy's ships were too fast, because they were light boats, and there was a strong south-west division, so they went down the wind and water, and their speed was high. Not only that, but on the light boat, there are several rocket attack frames, and it seems that when the breakthrough is made, it seems that it is necessary to attack the vanguard naval army first.

And because yesterday's battle ran out of gunpowder, if you want to prevent the Mengyuan naval army from breaking through today, you can only use the soldiers boarding the ship to fight each other with bayonets -- Tang Zhan set up a "Great Wall of Iron Buckets" on the deck of the warship, and no matter how the Mengyuan army fights, it can't attack half a step......

"Whoosh whoosh-" Sure enough, the Mengyuan Navy took the lead in a rocket raid and was heading towards the position of the vanguard navy warships. With the southwesterly wind howling, the fire was extremely rapid, and the ships of the vanguard navy soon suffered from the spread of flames, and some of the warships began to burn in flames, and the light of the fire obscured the waterway area of the Jiangdao Pass.

However, Tang Zhan was calm and calm, still kept the ship formation unchanged, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, order the rear army to quickly extinguish the fire, continue to maintain the front ship formation, and never let the enemy board the ship and leap!"

It seems that Tang Zhan is determined to fight to the death, and he wants to stop the enemy from boarding the ship and charging before the plank. And the enemy's ships are getting faster and faster downwind, and it seems that they are determined to die together, and they do not want to directly board the ship to fight, but more like they want to crash into the warship......

However, Meng Yuan's light boat did not collide with the ship, and was close to the ship formation, and the direction was slightly deviated, just into the gap between the vanguard naval warships......

Tang Zhan seemed to understand something, and at the moment when the firelight covered the mouth of the river, he saw the movement of the enemy ships, but it was too late......

He understood why the enemy would choose to break through by light boat......

He understood why the enemy army had only sent a dozen warships to break through......

He seemed to see the familiar figure on one of the speeding enemy ships, the Uliang Todo......

But it's already too late......

Yes, unexpectedly, Tang Zhan set up an iron bucket defense formation on top of the warship, but the Meng Yuan troops did not board the ship to fight. On the contrary, relying on the small size of the light boat, the Mengyuan Navy took advantage of the moment of chaos to speed away from the gap between the warships of the vanguard navy, and almost instantly, the light boat crossed the blockade line of the vanguard navy......

That's right, this is the real purpose of Uliang Toduo, the real way to break through, but Tang Zhan is the way of Uliang Todo...... (To be continued.) )
