Chapter 148 The soldiers are coming to Xiangyang, and Huang Zhong leads the army north!!

The fire in Xinye City burned for a day and a night before it gradually subsided, and one can imagine how huge and massive the fire oil and gunpowder prepared by Liu Bei were.

Looking at the raging volcano, the more Cao Ren thought about it, the more afraid he became, if it were not for Lejin’s advance warning, he decisively withdrew from Xinye, and at this time, he was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out.

This kind of fear for the rest of their lives made the soldiers sleep in the open, and there was no dissatisfaction or complaint, but they were a little lucky.

After Cao Ren and Le Jin pacified the soldiers, they originally wanted to pursue Liu Guanzhang, but considering the fatigue of the long journey and the fear of the rest of their lives, they were exhausted and forcibly chased, and they only tired of the battle.

At that time, it may be counterattacked by Liu Guanzhang’s army, and the gains outweigh the losses.

This also made Cao Ren and Le Jin not continue the march, but waited for the rear army to assemble near Xinye.

Zhao Yun and Xu Chu and other generals arrived the next day, don’t look at the map Bowangpo and Xinye City are not far away, but Wangshan ran dead horses, not to mention the march of a large army, and the next day arrived was considered rapid.

Looking at the burnt Xinye wall, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu listened to Le Jin and Cao Ren with their own ears, which was more thrilling than the text battle report.

They also have some emotion in their hearts.

In Bowangpo, he was influenced by Liu Bei’s attack strategy, and he never thought that Liu Bei would repeat his old skills in Xinye and also carry out such a strategy to cross the sea in secret.

If it weren’t for the powerful intelligence network built by Jinyiwei, allowing Lejin to rush to help in time, maybe Cao Ren would have been completely wiped out. As soon as they thought of this, they paid more and more attention to Liu Guanzhang.

At this moment, Zhao Yun’s heart finally understood why His Majesty valued Liu Bei so much, this was an opponent who was enough to cause them to deal with it with all their might!

Camping near Xinye for a short rest, generals such as Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Le Jin and Cao Ren marched directly to Xiangyang.

When they came to the bank of the Wrapping River, looking at Xiangyang on the opposite side, Zhao Yun and other generals also sighed a little in their hearts, this is a dangerous pass that cannot be opened by one man!

Because the moat of Xiangyang is as wide as 250 meters at its widest point and has an average width of 180 meters, which is a natural danger for the army!

Even if they barely break through the moat and come to the city of Wrapping Yang, the high wall of the strong city will discourage them. Instead, it would allow the Jingzhou army to easily counterattack them and force them back into the moat.

The original historical Xiangyang City is almost standing, and in thousands of years, it has blocked an unknown number of attacks, most of which have ended without success!

It can be said that if there is no help from the water master, Rao is Zhao Yun, a peerless general, and he does not dare to say that he can lead the army to take Xiangyang City.

Le Jin and Cao Ren, who were present, were both first-class generals, but they also looked sad.

Zhao Yun and other generals could only set up camp on the other side of Xiangyang City, waiting for the Qingzhou Navy led by Huang Zhong to rush to help!

Of course, Zhao Yun and other generals did not sit still, and after looking for a perfect place to set up camp, they sent cavalry scouts out to explore the terrain and look for a section of the river with gentle currents.

At the same time, the future of water warfare equipment will be built and prepared in advance, which will go hand in hand with Huang Zhong’s Qingzhou Navy.

Don’t look at Zhao Yun and other generals facing the more than two hundred meters of moat in Xiangyang City, they look a little helpless.

But the Jingzhou army in Xiangyang City on the opposite side also did not take it lightly, feeling that they were foolproof.

Although separated by nearly two hundred meters, the ancients had excellent eyesight and could still look at each other’s soldiers.

Looking at the busy heat of the imperial army on the other side, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao’s expression was a little heavy, and his heart was also suffering from gains and losses!

Don’t look at Xiangyang City, which has a moat more than two hundred meters wide and is blocked by high walls. But Liu Biao is very taboo about Huang Zhong’s Qingzhou Navy!

Although this was the first time that the Qingzhou Navy fought south, Huang Zhong led his army to attack the Bohai Bay and attack the main force of Yuan Shao’s Bohai Sea. Later, he fought in Xuzhou one after another, and finally even defeated the Jiangdong water division commanded by Gan Ning at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Although Liu Biao’s Jingzhou naval division did not engage Huang Zhong’s Qingzhou navy head-on, it was always at war with the Jiangdong naval division and knew each other well.

The strength between the two is between Bo Zhong, and even the Jingzhou water division is not as good as the Jiangdong water division.

Even the Jiangdong water division was defeated, and it was useless to command the fierce generals such as Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Jiang Huan.

Then the Jingzhou naval division, ask yourself that it is not an opponent of the Qingzhou Navy!

If you wait for the Qingzhou Navy to send troops to the north, Xiangyang City in Jingzhou will be in danger!

“Brother Jing Sheng, don’t worry, now that the generals are training sailors, they will definitely be able to block the advance of the imperial army.”

Liu Bei is worthy of being one of the heroes of the three kingdoms in the original history, and his ability to observe words and colors and understand people’s hearts is extremely strong.

“Even if the imperial court has the Qingzhou Navy, our Jingzhou sailors are no less good.

What’s more, Jingzhou and Jiangdong joined forces and became horns with each other, and they inevitably had no power to fight. ”

Liu Biao sighed, not relieved in the slightest because of Liu Bei’s persuasion, but said with emotion: “Who would have thought that Huang Zhong would train such a powerful sailor for His Majesty. I don’t know anyone! Alas! ~~~”

Liu Bei didn’t answer, and he didn’t know how to comfort him.

After coming to Jingzhou, I learned that Huang Zhong was not reused under Liu Biao at the beginning, and later His Majesty summoned him to the Beijing Martial Arts Examination, and Huang Zhong agreed without hesitation.

If Liu Biao had the grace of understanding, with Huang Zhong’s temperament, he might still consider one or two.

Of course, it’s too late to say anything now, regret the past, it’s better to focus on the future Liu Bei is not as crestfallen as Liu Biao, although he has lost many battles, he still maintains his ambition, and now he is letting Guan Zhang learn water warfare.

In the future, Liu Bei’s main battlefield will inevitably be in the Yangtze River area, and water warfare is an indispensable tactic.

This advance preparation and precautionary measures also showed Liu Bei’s strategic vision just when Liu Biao looked at the other side with a lot of emotion, when suddenly a herald arrived in a hurry, bringing news from Jiangdong.

“Qi Zhou Mu, Jiangdong Chuanxin, Huang Zhongtong led the Qingzhou Navy north, the two sides fought in the area of Poyang Lake in Jiujiang, and urgently need our Jingzhou assistance!”
