Chapter 69 Huang Zhong's Harvest

After Huang Zhong beat Cao Hong, he hid in Xiangyang under the arrangement of Cai Mao.His family is all here, and it is also a good thing to be able to reunite with them.

After he arrived in Xiangyang, Zhao Yan immediately visited him personally.

The prefect of Zhangling and the governor of Zhangling, the best at mediating the relationship between the generals among the Cao army, had nothing to say to praise Huang Zhong as a hero, claiming that he had heard of Huang Zhong's famous name back then.

He flattered Huang Zhongzhi, and he admired Zhao Yan quite a lot, so Zhao Yan took the opportunity to ask Huang Zhong to lead the army and wipe out the Wu army sailors who had been active on the Han River.

When Huang Zhong was under Liu Pan's command, he fought many times with the Taishi Ci Department of the Wu Army.

Huang Zhong had a good impression of Guan Ping, and he knew that the Sun and Liu families were now in an alliance, but he didn't want to let go of the opportunity to beat Wu Jun violently.

Anyway, the old man can't get any large-scale battles, just fight casually.

So Zhao Yan assigned Huang Zhong a water army composed entirely of Jingzhou people, and Huang Zhong was the commander to attack southward.

This move was firmly opposed by Xu Huang and Le Jin. They believed that Huang Zhong was a general who had fallen under Liu Biao's command.

But Zhao Yan was not afraid, he sent people to monitor all Huang Zhong's family members, and if Huang Zhong had the intention of rebellion, he would immediately kill all his family members, not afraid that Huang Zhong would not want to fight.

Huang Zhong's performance was also very good. He went south by boat and soon started fighting with Lu Yi's water army. Under Huang Zhong's command, the Jingzhou army broke out a long-suffering combat power. Lu Yi also knew the enemy this time Extremely strong, you can only fight and retreat to preserve your strength.

On the day Guan Ping returned to Xiangyang, Yue Jin and Xu Huang discussed the matter of dispatching troops with Zhao Yan in Jiangbei. They agreed that the defense of the Sun-Liu Allied Forces in Hanshui was insufficient. If they could continue their offensive on Hanshui, they would be able to contain Sun Liu's troops.Therefore, Zhao Yan once again ordered Huang Zhong to send troops, and this time there must be a large number of gains, posing a threat to Xiakou.

Huang Zhong was speechless, he wanted to sneak away on the spot, but he found out that his family had been controlled by Zhao Yan, and only then did he know that he had been tricked.

He really wanted to chop Zhao Yan on the spot, but after weighing it all, he could only be forced to agree to lead the army to fight again.

Huang Zhong's morale was not high when he dispatched troops this time. He originally wanted to take a trip and slipped back with an excuse, but he never expected that there was no Wu army blocking the way, and he drove to the vicinity of Jingcheng so smoothly.

Here, Huang Zhong finally found a huge enemy ship parked by the river.

It was a huge building ship with three floors, each floor had parapets, three huge masts towering, flags and swords and guns were planted all around, and the hull was covered with a thick layer of leather, like It is a huge island, the shipbuilding technology is strong, and the materials are fine, which is enough to show that the people on this ship are extravagant.

Huang Zhong was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to retreat—according to common sense, such an important Wu Jun nobleman must be surrounded by precautions. Remembering that Zhao Yan had said that Zhou Yu might be nearby, Huang Zhong felt more and more dangerous here.

But after a little observation, he discovered that there were only a few ordinary boats around this huge building ship, and even lacked other escorting warships.

Is it a trap?
Huang Zhong fell into deep thought for a moment, but he didn't dare to attack.

Even when he was beaten to death, he did not expect that Sun Quan was looking for immortals.

This is the place where Guan Ping discovered that the divine soldiers had killed Cao Chun. Sun Quan firmly believed that this river contained secrets that would lead to thousands of years later.

Although Lu Yi had told Sun Quan that Cao Jun's general offensive was about to start, Sun Quan thought that it would not be a big problem to delay it for another three or four days, so he took the initiative to say that he would lead his troops to the rear and let others go back to Xiakou to wait for orders-just like him in history. The same goes for Battle of Fame.

Lu Yi had received a large number of arrow shafts from Guan Ping before, and he had to transport them to Xiakou as soon as possible. Seeing that Sun Quan had his own ideas, he didn't dare to force them, so he had to lead the army to go first.And in this short gap, Huang Zhong arrived!
Chen Wu, who was in charge of protecting Sun Quan, was not surprised when he found Cao Jun's warship appeared.

He could see that the enemy's fleet was small, but spread out evenly on the river, showing no sharp offensive posture. Obviously, the enemy was either the Northern Army of Cao Army who was not good at water warfare, or the Jingzhou Army who was unwilling to fight hard.

Chen Wu calmly reported the enemy's arrival to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan could only reluctantly leave his holy land of seeking immortals, preparing to sail back to Xiakou.

Cao Jun's sailors never dared to pursue after fighting Lu Yi before. The sailors were only a few thousand men, so they dared to chase him to Xiakou to die?

If Sun Quan didn't leave, Huang Zhong didn't dare to launch an attack for a while, but he set sail to escape, Huang Zhong immediately judged that the enemy was unprepared, and he was still hesitating whether to pursue or not, when he suddenly saw an extremely shocking scene.

I saw that the huge building boat suddenly shook violently before taking a few steps, and I saw that Sun Quan's building ship ran aground!
That's right, Sun Quan had been searching the riverside for a gate that would allow him to enter the millennium. The building boat had been parked by the riverside for several days, completely oblivious to the fact that the Han River was getting shallower and shallower in midwinter.Now that a strong enemy came, Chen Wu urged the boat to sail, they forced it to start, and unexpectedly a fierce one fell to the ground.

Huang Zhong was dumbfounded.

He stood on the spot and thought for a long time. Seeing that everyone on the boat was busy and screaming, he judged that the enemy was not pretending.

"Okay, God help me, since you're here, don't leave!"

Huang Zhong yelled, and immediately waved the command flag. The Jingzhou army under him also knew that they had encountered a big fish this time, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Sun Quan on the boat.

Sun Quan was really stunned on the spot this time.

He never thought that the enemy would come so quickly, let alone that his experienced navy would make such a mistake at this critical moment.

Seeing the enemy rushing from all directions, Sun Quan showed the courage to fight to the death.

Standing on the bow of the boat, he personally drew his bow and shot arrows, and actually forced back several Cao soldiers who were trying to board the ship quickly, but he did not expect that the opposite general of Cao Jun's navy was a great expert in archery.

Seeing Sun Quan standing at the bow of the boat, Huang Zhong sneered and took a big bow from the guard beside him.

Taking advantage of the turbulent current, his boat approached quickly. Huang Zhong pulled his big bow like a full moon, and quickly released his feathered arrow, howling through the cold wind, and flew straight towards Sun Quan.

"Beware!"

Chen Wu was protecting Sun Quan all the time, when he saw Huang Zhong bowing his bow, he rushed forward with all his might, Sun Quan was thrown down with all his strength, the feathered arrow just happened to pass by and hit the boat heavily, shaking non-stop.

Sun Quan broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to get up anymore, so he could only shrink behind the parapet and command the soldiers to fight.

Although this large ship can carry a lot, but this time Sun Quan's actions are quite secretive, only Chen Wu's headquarters has less than 700 people accompanying the guards.

Under the onslaught of Huang Zhong's men, Wu Jun immediately fell into chaos and almost fell into a desperate situation.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Lu Yi's soldiers finally finished their supplies and appeared on the battlefield again.

Seeing Sun Quan being besieged, Lu Yi was shocked and immediately stepped forward to rescue without hesitation. When Huang Zhong saw the arrival of reinforcements from the Wu army, he wanted to forget about it. I immediately guessed the identity of the nobleman on the boat.

Could it be that Sun Quan is here?
The highest honor for a military commander is to behead the enemy general. Sun Quan is the leader of Jiangdong, and Huang Zhong may have the opportunity to face him face to face.

But now the opportunity is in front of him.

How about... give it a try?
