Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 746 In a battle between the land and the river

The Han River comes out of Hanzhong, goes southwest along Nanyang, enters Nanjun, and then goes south from Nanjun to join the Yangtze River.

This is the main river in Xiangyang.

It is also the largest battlefield of the navy.

The flow of the Han River was not very smooth, and the mouth of the bay became a pass.

Half Moon Bay is one.

Yaoshan Bay is also one.

Jingping's second army has put all the main force on Yaoshan Bay, making the mouth of the bay airtight, and building more than ten water fortresses across the river. It is impossible for a small boat to cross over.

In the Battle of Tanxi, the Jingping Second Army, that is, the Jingping Water Army, was damaged in strength, but only the warships were damaged. Now hundreds of supplementary warships sent from the back dock have all been incorporated into the battle order.

The current Jingping Second Army has completely surpassed before in terms of the capabilities and strength of the warships, and after the baptism of the Battle of Tanxi, these sailors are more imposing than before.

"Half Moon Bay was breached?"

Zhang Liao stood on the water village, his eyes flickering, looking ahead.

"Ok!"

Hou Cong nodded: "The fourth battalion has retreated and is now resting in the water village. The scout boats are guarding behind. They found that the Jiangxia navy did not continue to advance. They are resting in Half Moon Bay!"

"Let the scout ship continue to investigate!"

"promise!"

"Zhang Shi!"

"exist!"

"The Fifth Battalion takes the initiative to attack!" Zhang Liao said: "We can't let them take it easy and counterattack Half Moon Bay, but we must stop as soon as possible, and run away after a fight, absolutely don't give them a chance to bite you!"

"promise!"

Zhang Shi took the lead.

"General Zhonglang, is our provocation useful?" Hou Cong asked.

"If it was you, and a fly buzzed in your ear, would you like to slap him to death?" Zhang Liao asked with a smile.

"Of course I do!"

Hou Cong said: "But we are not flies!"

"Compared to Jiangxia's navy, we are just flies!" Zhang Liao sighed: "Our navy's combat effectiveness is far worse than theirs. If they get serious, we will be shot to death at any time. flies!"

"You're trying to force them to be serious!"

Hou Cong understood.

"Otherwise, how could we lose!" Zhang Liao's eyes flickered brightly: "This is a battle that must be lost!"

On the waterway, he never thought he could win, but losing is worth losing. He must fight this battle.

..............................

Long Zhongshan.

"Jiangxia navy captured Half Moon Bay!" The news came back.

"How does Zhang Liao respond?"

Mu Jing asked.

"It has counterattacked!"

"Well done!" Mu Jing pondered for a while, and said, "Gongtai, has Jingping's first army withdrawn yet?"

"not yet!"

Chen Gong said: "Chen Dao is already thinking of a way, but if he wants to withdraw back to Longzhong smoothly without arousing the suspicion of the Jingzhou army in the western suburbs, he needs to deploy some suspicious soldiers!"

"You go there yourself!"

Mu Jing said: "To assist Chen Dao, the first army must be withdrawn as soon as possible. In this battle, the task cannot be completed without a single horn!"

"understand!"

Chen Gong nodded.

"Zhou Cang!"

"exist!"

"Let the Flying Cavalry Battalion attack!" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "From the west to the south, and then into the eastern suburbs, we must divert the attention of the city, so that they can't understand our thoughts!"

"promise!"

Zhou Cang took the order and left.

"Can it be done?" Zhuge Xuan asked out of the blue as he was recording the civil servants beside him.

It is a different battlefield on land than on rivers.

It seemed a bit whimsical that Mu Jing actually wanted to forcibly intercept and kill Jiang Xia's navy with soldiers on land. He couldn't figure out where Mu Jing's confidence came from.

"I can't hear that!"

Mu Jing squinted at him, and his voice became cold and solemn: "This is a war, if anyone says such words to shake the morale of the army during the war, no matter who it is, they will be killed immediately!"

Zhuge Xuan's whole body was solemn, as if it was the first day he knew this young prince with a mighty soldier in his hand.

Mu Jing ignored him and continued to examine the map.

This is a unique battle, and it is also the key to whether Xiangyang can be captured. If the Jiangxia army can be eliminated, then Xiangyang will be left with an isolated city. It will be much easier to attack Xiangyang by then.

"Chen Sheng!"

"exist!"

"You continue to lead people to survey the West River, the map of the river is still a bit blurry!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice, "I want the clearest map of the river. I must know the water flow and depth of each section clearly!"

"No!" Chen Sheng nodded.

"I'll go!"

Zhuge Xuan cupped his hands and said: "Xihe, I am more familiar with it!"

"Row!"

Mu Jing glanced at him and said, "Then let Chen Sheng lead the troops to assist you!"

After the two left, Mu Jing pinched the bridge of his nose.

"It's better that Xi Zhicai is more comfortable here!"

Mu Jing let out a long sigh.

It's not that Chen Gong's ability is not good, it's just that Chen Gong doesn't have the thoughtfulness of Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhi is the person who understands his own thoughts best, so he can cooperate seamlessly with him in many things.

Chen Gong couldn't do it anymore.

I am somewhat cautious in doing things, coupled with a cautious attitude, and lack of courage to take responsibility. As long as I have no confidence in many ideas, I will hide them and pinch them, so that I will take less responsibility.

"You take a break!"

Zhang Ning came in with a bowl of millet porridge, and said softly, "This battle is not something that will happen overnight. Besides, you are the master. Since you have formulated a strategy, just leave the rest to them!"

She handed the millet porridge to Mujing, and continued: "You often say that it is best to let the right people do the right thing and perform their duties. This battle, since you have given it to They, let them fight!"

"It's easy as you say!"

Mujing smiled wryly.

Things are not so easy, a big battle, a heavy burden on his heart, if he can't watch step by step, he will always be worried.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

half moon bay.

The Jiangxia water army set up camp, and warships moored side by side in the water.

"They dare to attack?"

It was a good thing to break through Banyue Bay, but unexpectedly, the Mujun sailor killed a carbine, and everyone suddenly became angry, and Huang Zu's mood became three points manic.

Half Moon Bay was captured easily.

He regained his confidence in Jiang Xia's navy, and he said loudly: "It's just in time, who will fight?"

Chen immediately asked for a fight: "Master Taishou, give me one, and I will behead them to see you!"

"it is good!"

Huang Zu nodded: "I'll give you one, you go to fight!"

Chen led one of them to drive the warship to meet the battle.

The warships of the two armies collided on the river, and as soon as they came up, they charged.

A full four hours of fighting.

The warships of the Shepherd Army retreated.

Zhang Shi threw two fighting ships and more than a dozen warships, and fled out in a hurry with the remnants of the remaining soldiers.

Chen won a big victory, but his subordinates suffered a lot of damage.

He damaged a warship, and six or seven warships were smashed into pieces and floated on the water.

..............................

Xiangyang City.

Liu Biao went to the top of the city and looked around. It was quiet. Although the city gate was closed, there was no sign of any enemy troops.

"What is Mu Jun's intention?"

He slammed his fist on the stone brick, growling in a low voice.

Just a few hours ago, the cavalry of the Shepherd Army was found in the eastern suburbs. They came quickly and left quickly, and they disappeared, but they appeared and appeared. The eastern suburbs are now the only area where there is no fighting.

Now even the shepherd army officers and soldiers have appeared in the eastern suburbs, so Xiangyang will be completely besieged.

"My lord, maybe they are just scouts!"

Kuai Liang stood behind Liu Biao, bowed and said.

Now Xiangyang City is full of soldiers.

"Don't take it lightly!" Liu Biao shook his head and said, "Mu Jun is cunning, you all know that, if they will cross half of the city and attack us from the eastern suburbs, it is not impossible!"

"My lord, don't worry, I will defend myself carefully!"

Wenpin cupped his hands and said.

"Deng Long, how is the northern suburb?"

"The Mujun fought us a few times, and no abnormalities have been found so far, and they don't have many troops. It is very difficult to attack the city wall, but I can't beat them if we go out of the city!" Deng Long said directly: "The Mujun Both the weapons and the performance of the battlefield are far ahead of us. Yesterday afternoon, we fought with the Mujun in the northern suburbs. I sent [-] troops, and they sent about [-] troops. two!"

The Mu army started to attack from Fancheng. The Jingzhou army fought countless battles with them. Most of them were defeated, but they didn't feel much at the beginning. They always felt that the Mu army was attacking and fighting directly. They had the confidence to fight a battle.

But only from the Battle of Longzhong, they clearly felt that Mu Jun's fighting spirit, tenacity, individual strength, and battle formation were all superior to those of Jingzhou soldiers.

This is the difference in combat power.

If it weren't for the supplement of troops, the Jingzhou army might have been defeated long ago.

"One to two battle damage?"

Liu Biao took a deep breath: "There is no one worthy of fame!"

It is really extraordinary that Mu Jun can traverse the entire world.

"The most important thing now is to see if Jiang Xia's army can eat the Mujun navy!" Kuai Liang said softly, "As long as Jiang Xia's army can eat the Mujun navy, we can go out of the city to fight back in this battle. Without the river area, they are just trapped beasts!"

The area around Xiangyang is criss-crossed with waterways. As long as they lose the assistance of the navy, they will be unable to move a single step. It will not be difficult to encircle them at that time.

"My lord, Jiang Xia's navy is alone, will there be any problems?" Wen Pin asked worriedly, "Why don't I send troops out of the city to help!"

"Need not!"

Liu Biao shook his head: "Huang Zu's navy is the elite of Jingzhou. On the waterway, he is the strongest except for the governor Cai Mao. If we can't even stop the water battle, then we have no hope. The most important thing now is to defend the city, don't give the Mujun any chance, especially in the eastern suburbs, I don't think it's a coincidence that the Mujun cavalry appeared in the eastern suburbs, you have to guard carefully!"

"promise!"

The generals nodded their heads.

........................................................................

outside the city.

On the Han River, Jiang Xia's army won two battles and two victories, and their morale was high.

Had a day off.

The Jiangxia navy also regained its strength, and Huang Zu let go of the worries in his heart at this time, and he became full of fighting spirit: "Send my military order, the whole army advances, and before sunset, I will capture Yaoshan Bay!"

"kill!"

"attack!"

Jiang Xia's army attacked.

The warship moved against the wind and headed straight for the Mujun water village in Yaoshan Bay.

"Boys, defend!"

"Get on the trebuchet!"

"Dead defense camp!"

The officers and men of the herding army acted bravely and defended the water village.

However, the Jiangxia Navy, which had been suffocated for a long time, completely broke out its fighting power. In less than two hours, it had already captured three water villages, entered the inner side of the mouth of Yaoshan Bay, and forcibly tore open the line of defense.

"It turns out that the navy and warships can alternate like this!"

Zhang Liao observed the battle situation in the internal water village, and he had to say that his eyes were wide open.

The warships of the Jiangxia Navy have done a good job of cooperating with each other. One warship rushed in, and the second warship docked seamlessly. There was no gap before and after the formation. Hulls of two warships.

This is a difficult operation.

"General Zhonglang, we have lost five water villages!" Hou Cong came up to report.

"How are the casualties?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked.

"The casualties are nearly [-]!"

"It's almost over, we can't go on like this!"

Zhang Liao said, "Give up Mount Yao!"

"promise!"

The generals nodded.

All the soldiers quickly pushed out of Yaoshan Bay, abandoned all the water villages at the mouth of Yaoshan Bay, and withdrew northward against the current.

Jiang Xia's army won another battle.

"Won!"

"Beat them!"

"Hahaha, from now on, they have no place to stand on the river!"

"In the future, our warships will come and go freely!"

The officers and men of Jiang Xia's navy started to drink.

Take Yaoshan Bay, in this section of Han River waters, there is no dangerous place to defend, and the Jiangxia water army does not have to be afraid of this place, afraid of that, just like the previous one, just move freely, just the Mujun warships, Can't stop it at all.

"Three battles and three victories!"

Standing on the deck of the building, Huang Zu also laughed out loud: "Mu Jun is nothing more than that!"

The previous battle of Tanxi.

Later, the battle of Longzhong.

Their warships were all suppressed, and now they breathed out a sigh of relief, completely regaining the strength of Jiangxia's navy.

"Master Taishou, under our pursuit, the warship of the Shepherd Army has withdrawn from the twenty-mile waters!" Two hours later, Chen rushed back to report.

"very good!"

Huang Zu was writing a memorial in the cabin to report to Xiangyang. Of course, such a big happy event was to make Xiangyang happy.

"Master Taishou, I have discovered one more thing!"

"Say!"

"Entrance of the West River!"

"What?" Huang Zu raised his head suddenly, looking at Chen Jiu.

"Xihe originally entered from Xiawan, but when I was chasing the Mujun water army just now, I found that when some small scorpions of the Mujun water army evaded our pursuit, they turned into a small river from the north. At first glance, there are reeds on the left and right, and they are not big!"

Chen just said softly: "But after crossing the small river, it's actually the lower reaches of the West River!"

"you sure?"

Huang Zu's breath became a little anxious, and he asked.

"Sure!"

Chen Judao: "I have asked the scout ship to continue to inquire, and must draw a map before tonight!"

"Map!"

Huang Zu gave a loud shout.

Advisor Su Fei sent a map and spread it out in front of Huang Zu.

"We are here, Yaoshan Bay!"

Huang Zu followed the Han River on the map: "Where did you find the small river?"

"It should be here!" Chen measured along the map with his finger, and then said.

"here?"

Huang Zu's eyes suddenly brightened, and his whole body seemed to become a little excited. Pointing at the map, he drew a line along the way, and said: "If you go in here, you will be Xihe, then go up from the lower reaches of Xihe, and you will be Longzhong Mountain. The total length is only more than ten miles, and it can be rushed in less than an hour..."

"Master Taishou, you have to think twice!"

The counselor Su Fei immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva, cupped his hands and said in admonishment.

Long Zhongshan.

It is now the headquarters of the Mujun Army, and it is heavily defended.

The head of the Mu army, Minghou Mujing, is now on Longzhong Mountain.
