I have Futian in my heart

Coupled with the fact that Commander Fang Shu's troops are going to wipe out the Chu people in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, it is conceivable that the entire Chu people in Jiangbei will be wiped out.

In this way, even if there are Chu people who escape to the south of the Yangtze River, it is of no importance.Because the current Jiangnan is still a barren area, without the prosperous areas in Jiangbei, Chu people really can only be Chu Man.

The plan is big and risky!Once successful, the threat from the Chu people can almost be completely resolved.

But at the same time, once they make a mistake, King Xuan's team will also be very dangerous.

After all, it is still very dangerous to cross the Qinling Mountains, walk through the mountains and valleys, and attack Chudu, especially once the battle is defeated.At that time, maybe even King Xuan himself will be folded in.

Although Zheng Xiaoming and the ministers of the Zhou family have advised King Xuan not to take risks himself, it is the same to send a general to command the troops.

But King Xuan didn't listen to the advice, insisted on going his own way, and personally led the group of people, and went down the river from Hanzhong to Danyang.

Fortunately, King Xuan didn't really lose his mind, and in the end he just sat in Baoguo instead of taking a boat himself, and went down the Han River.

After all, with the ship technology of this era, it is too dangerous to do this kind of thing, and it is simply resigned to fate.

This forced the king of Chu to send veterans and generals to deploy defenses along the upper reaches of the Han River, and use the boat divisions and Zhou people's boat divisions to fight in water.

Although King Zhou himself has no sailors under his command, countries like his Baoguo do.The two sides fought inextricably along the Han River Valley.

And at this time, Zheng Xiaoming was not idle either, his navy was fighting a battle with the boat division led by Yin Ruoao, the order of Chu State, on the Han River.

That's right, Zheng Xiaoming has not been idle in the past few years. While building the city, he is also developing the boat master.

In particular, some countries of the Zhuji of Hanyang were originally distributed along the Han River. After so many years, they have some shipbuilding skills and some soldiers who are accustomed to water.

And Zheng Xiaoming asked the craftsmen to improve the shipbuilding and make the ship stronger.

At this moment, the decisive battle between the two sailors is like a dragon boat race.

Because the sailors on both sides are the kind of ships that are rowed by many sailors, rather than relying on sails as power.

At this time, the battle between the two sides looked a bit like the naval battle of the city-states around the Mediterranean Sea at the same time.

The ships on both sides approached each other and fought each other with swords.

But from the very beginning, Chu people's boat masters fell into a disadvantage.

Because Zheng Guo's ships were all equipped with rams, during the water battle, the high-speed impact force directly hit the Chu people's ships!

In this era, the Chu people are the overlords on the water, and no one can compete with them on the water.

Although ship collision is also a common method of water warfare, after all, they have never experienced a truly large-scale water battle, and they are not equipped with weapons such as ramming horns.

In this era, the only thing that can be used to bump horns is bronze. Chu people obviously never thought about using expensive bronze for horn bumping.

After all, although the Chu people controlled the Tonglu Mountain and other mine veins, their current bronze smelting and casting technology is still a little behind the Central Plains countries.

Not to mention, the flame attack of Zheng Guo soldiers.

The flame bottle made of animal fat or tung tree fat exerts great power in water battles.

The jars made of clay were thrown on the Chu people's boat and cracked, causing the grease to spill everywhere.Then throw the torches to create huge burning fires on the water.

Although this method of warfare is very dangerous, it is easy to affect yourself.

However, relying on the tactics of ramming angles and burning fire, and possessing the strongest boat master, the Chu people on the Zongheng River suddenly suffered a disastrous defeat.

Even Ling Yin Ruo'ao was burned to death along with the ship in the fire!

It has to be said that this Ruo Ao family is extremely brave and brave. He personally led a warship to the front, which brought the greatest courage to the Chu people's boat master.

However, it is precisely because of this that the Doubi of the Ruoao clan (the Ruoao clan is divided into two branches of the Dou clan and the Cheng clan) was also the first to be hit. The boat he was on was hit by more than a dozen cupping cans, In the end, people and boats were killed in the sea of ​​fire.

The main general was killed just after the battle, and the Chu people's boat division was in chaos immediately. Then they were rammed by Zheng Guozhou's boat, and He Huo Gong was defeated. Less than half of them escaped back.

With the victory of the water battle, Zheng Guo's land troops quickly surrounded Yincheng.

This is an important military town that the Chu people had just built recently, and it was specially built for defense to restrain Zheng Xiaoming's Zheng Guolai.

The city was built majestic and solid, but with the defeat of the Chu people's navy, the entire Yin city was surrounded, and people were frightened immediately, and they surrendered not long after.

Zheng Guo's army crossed the river, captured Zhuyang on the opposite bank of the Han River, and then headed for Danyang on the upper reaches of the Han River.

Before reaching Danyang, I saw the huge fleet of Chu people.

But this is not for a decisive battle with Zheng, but the fleet of Chu's monarchs and ministers fleeing to the south of the Yangtze River.

Because the blocking of the upper reaches of the Hanshui River Valley was very successful, it was difficult for the army led by King Xuan to advance.

However, with the failure of the decisive battle between the downstream and Zheng Guozhou's division, the Chu people were terrified, and they felt that it would be safer to retreat to Jiangnan first.

In fact, in these years, as the strength of the Chu people continued to develop toward the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the strength of the Chu people was also strengthening in that direction.

Especially in less than a few decades or hundreds of years, the capital of the Chu people will move from Danyang to Yingdu.

However, at this time, the fleet of Chu State that was retreating in a panic encountered Zheng Guo's navy and fell into a huge predicament.

However, at this time, the state of Chu was still on the rise, and in the face of a dangerous environment, it was natural for someone to step forward.

A fleet took the initiative to rush towards Zheng Guozhou's division, buying time for the retreat of King Chu and others.

Although Zheng Guo's navy defeated this Chu people's navy after a hard fight, it also allowed the large troops of the king of Chu to land ashore and fled towards the generation of Pengcheng.

Of course, this Pengcheng is not the later Pengcheng, but the Peng State in the deep mountains, which is a vassal of Chu State.

In addition, there are Yong, Wei, Zhu, Xi, Jian, and even countries nearby. They are all small countries, or they are all tribes.

In the original historical time and space, the Chu Kingdom annexed these small countries decades later and established counties here.By the way, Chu State was also the first country among the countries to try to establish counties.

Finally, after annexing these small countries, they established Shangyong County.

Zheng Xiaoming did not send troops to chase King Chu and his party. Instead, after occupying Danyang, he led his soldiers and horses to attack the main force of the Chu army who was still blocking King Xuan's army in the Hanshui River Valley, and greeted King Xuan's army.

Finally, after one and a half months, King Xuan finally stepped into the palace of Danyang, the capital of Chu State, for the first time in person.

At the same time, the main army led by Uncle Fang broke through the Chu people's city in Edi all the way.
