The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 201 The Underwater Monster
Yuan Xu only stayed in Xiangyang for one night.

He left Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, and Mi Fang behind, and led the others to march along the Yangtze River.

When he came to the Yangtze River, Yuan Xu looked at the rushing river.

Pang Tong came behind him: "Young Master, the Yangtze River is wide, and it will take time to build a pontoon bridge."

"There is no need for a pontoon." Yuan Xu replied, "We only have such a small number of people. We just need to draw some warships from the Jingzhou Navy."

"I understand." Pang Tong agreed, turned around and came to Liu Biao.

"Mr. Jing Sheng." He said to Liu Biao, "My lord wants to transfer ships from the Jingzhou navy, please coordinate."

"Jingzhou has already belonged to your son." Liu Biao replied, "I don't dare to transfer a single soldier. You can ask General Cai to transfer the ship."

Pang Tong looked at Cai Mao: "General Cai, I'm sorry."

Cai Hao immediately agreed: "I will do what the young master told me right away."

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are the governors of the Jingzhou Navy.

Yuan Xu did not deprive them of their official positions, but the mobilization of the water army required Yuan Xu's warrant.

With Yuan Xu's warrant, he quickly sent several large ships.

When the big ship docked, Yuan Xu greeted everyone: "Get on board."

However, in two days, Yuan Xu captured Jingzhou, and when he went to the bank of the Yangtze River, Sun Quan was also at a loss.

Jiangdong and Jingzhou are not the same.

Jingzhou is located inland, and Yuan Xu entered, without the natural danger of the Yangtze River.

But between Jiangdong and Jingzhou, there is a Yangtze River.

When he boarded the ship, the other side was ready to defend against the enemy.

Guarding the river bank was Lu Meng, the Jiangdong general.

Yuan Xu summoned the warships and gathered on the bank of the river.

Lu Meng immediately became alert.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, warships lined up, and the Jiangdong Army was also ready to face the battle.

Looking at the Jiangdong warships lined up on the opposite bank, Liu Biao asked Yuan Xu, "My lord, the Jiangdong navy is strong. In the past, our Jingzhou navy tried to land and was repeatedly frustrated. There are only a few warships..."

"Jing Sheng doesn't need to worry." Yuan Xu smiled calmly: "If the Jingzhou Navy can't get through, it doesn't mean that I can't get through either."

He ordered to everyone: "Pass my order, cross the river!"

Several warships headed to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

On a warship on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Lu Meng looked at the approaching Jingzhou warship and was confused.

"General, are the people of Jingzhou stupid?" The lieutenant asked him, "Do you want to go ashore with just these few ships?"

"I haven't figured it out either." Lu Meng frowned, with a puzzled look on his face: "Why do they dare to come here when there are only so few ships?"

Lu Meng also looked confused.

He never thought that the Jingzhou navy would dare to forcefully cross the river with only such a small number of people.

"Send an order to stop them." Lu Meng ordered: "No one will be left, and all will be wiped out."

The Jiangdong navy on the south bank immediately moved, and dozens of warships came to meet the warships of Yuan Xu and others.

Seeing the approaching Jiangdong warships, Liu Biao was a little nervous: "My lord, we have too few ships. Once we start a war, we will definitely not be our opponents."

Yuan Xu ignored him, but took out the ghost piano, sat on the bow of the boat and stroked a tune.

The melodious tune fluttered on the river and reached the ears of Lu Meng on the other side.

The lieutenant beside Lu Meng murmured, "What is the Jingzhou navy doing? Playing the piano on the river for us?"

Not only the lieutenant general was dumbfounded, but Lu Meng was also confused.

He has never seen the Jingzhou navy in the mood to caress Yaoqin when they are completely at a disadvantage.

However, Lu Meng was not as relaxed as the lieutenant general thought.

He immediately ordered: "Send the order, be careful of the Jingzhou navy ambush."

On the surface of the river, with a glance of thousands of miles, let alone a warship, it is impossible to hide even a small boat.

The lieutenant general asked blankly, "What ambush could they have?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just send an order." Lu Meng ordered.

Although the order was delivered, the lieutenant was muttering in his heart: the general must be too worried, the river is so calm, what kind of ambush could there be?
The Jiangdong warship came to meet the Jingzhou warship.

While walking, the sailors on board suddenly felt the ship shake violently.

Never encountered such a situation, the Jiangdong navy was a little panicked.

Someone ran to the side of the boat and looked into the water.

Soon, someone shouted: "There is something in the water!"

The distance between the two sides is very close, and the shouts of the Jiangdong navy can be clearly heard by the Jingzhou navy.

Yuan Xu ordered to stop the ship.

Several warships stopped.

The people on board clearly saw the waves rolling under the warships of the Jiangdong Navy.

Black shadows were swimming under their boats.

With a bang, a Jiangdong warship capsized in the water.

All the Jiangdong water troops are proficient in water, and they can shuttle back and forth in the water like fish.

But the capsized boat and the sailors who fell into the water only thumped a few times on the surface of the water before sinking to the bottom of the river and disappeared without a trace.

One after another, Jiangdong warships capsized.

None of the Jiangdong navy that fell into the water could thump on the water for more than ten breaths.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Yuan Xu looked at the capsized Jiangdong warship.

"My lord, in this way, the Yangtze River will also pass." Pang Tong moved to his side and said in a low voice.

Yuan Xu nodded: "The Yangtze River has passed the natural danger, what else is there in Jiangdong?"

"Now there are only Yizhou and Hanzhong left." Pang Tong asked, "Do you want to go in person?"

"Liu Zhang from Yizhou and Zhang Lu from Hanzhong should not be as difficult to deal with as Sun Zhongmou." Yuan Xu looked at Xu Shu, "How about Yuan Zhi?"

Xu Shu stepped forward and replied, "My lord has ordered me to do my best."

"With your words, I don't need to go to Yizhou and Hanzhong." Yuan Xu said, "It's not too late. You should go there as soon as possible. I'll wait for your good news in Yecheng."

He told the guards: "Prepare a small boat for Yuan Zhi."

Xu Shu asked him: "My lord, there is something in the water now..."

"Yuan Zhi don't worry." Yuan Xu said: "They will only deal with forces that are hostile to me, and will not move your boat."

The guards put down a small boat, and Xu Shu boarded the boat with a ghost horse.

After leaving the unicorn, the ghost horse can still obey its commands within ten days.

After ten days, they will go berserk and will no longer be tamed, let alone be ridden.

When Xu Shu left, Yuan Xu told him about this characteristic of ghost horses.

On board the boat, he was still a little worried.

Worried that those things in the water would capsize the boat.

Strange to say, there were things in the water that passed under the boat, but none of them stopped.

All the dark shadows were swimming towards the Jiangdong Army warship.

What happened in the river shocked Lu Meng.

He widened his eyes and stared at what happened on the water in astonishment.

"General, look quickly, what is that!" The lieutenant beside Lu Meng pointed at the Jingzhou warship and yelled in horror.

Looking in the direction the lieutenant pointed, what Lu Meng saw was a war horse flying in the air.

The horse was suspended in the air, with a sharp horn growing on its head.

Riding on the horse was a young nobleman whom Lu Meng had never seen before.
