After Buqi received the urgent report, he gathered dozens of people who were good at water in Yuzhang County and rushed to the riverside.
"Lord Taishou, the place where the shipwreck is in front of the water a mile ahead."
The sergeant under Xu Huang's command pointed to the turbulent river and raised his hand towards Buqi.
"General Xu Huang has sent people to capture the ferry along the river, and sent a group of soldiers and horses to guard it, but at night, Huang Zu will definitely send troops to sneak attack, and the ferry is not dangerous to defend, so you can only explore in the daytime, bring reeds, and go into the water."
"Whoa."
The sturdy ones who followed behind Bu Qi walked upstream.
The county official standing behind Bu Qi looked worried, "Lord Taishou, this river is turbulent, and each of them has a rope tied to it, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to stay in the river for a long time." ” "It's not yet spring, the river is cold and biting, if it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't let my Jiangdong Erlang go to die" Bu Qi glanced at the boats docked by the river, "It's just that my sailor Erlang, most of them have to participate in the battle of Jingxiang, don't lose too much, the river here is spacious, when marching, our army can go together from several places, but now the usual waterway is blocked, if you don't have the land of Jiangxia, you can't pick up the sunken ship, and you can only find another waterway." ” Bu Qi turned his head and glanced at the sergeant boarding the boat by the river, "And write down the location of the wreck and the iron cone, and after destroying the iron cable, you can tow it to both sides of the river." ” "Whoa."
On the city gate facing the river, Huang Zu pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist with one hand and stared at the ships slowly approaching on the river.
Chen Sheng knew that he was worried at the moment, and immediately raised his hand, "Last night, before the ferry was lost, the three clippers of our army had already gone to Jiangling, Lord Taishou don't have to worry, the governor will definitely get a return in a few days and send troops to help." ” "To save or not to save, what can I do" Huang Zu sneered, "My Jingxiang Huang clan, the foundation is in Jiangxia, if Jiangxia is lost, we can only be reduced to a partial division in the army." ” He stretched out his hand and pointed at the river, "Yuzhang is too guarded, he is the uncle of Wuhou Liu Qi, this person really has some talent." ” "General, will we let them salvage the sunken ship?"
Huang Zu smiled coldly, "He didn't dare to salvage the sunken ship, and the salvage of the sunken ship had to be transferred to the ship, and now the Jiangdong military buildings and ships are all in Yunmengze, if you dare to dispatch, my Jingxiang Sailor will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack it." ” "What is this doing?"
Huang Zu pointed to the river, "The river is a hundred zhang wide, not a waterway, Buqi only needs to find a waterway for the round-trip transport ships." ” "Then he will order someone to destroy the iron cable."
Huang Zu bowed slightly, his eyes showed a bit of coldness, "At this moment, if I still have a division of 10,000 people, I should take advantage of the situation to kill, and I can force the Jiangdong boats in the river to leave, and let its water ghosts suffer the cold and piercing pain at the bottom of the river, and freeze to death." ” Chen Sheng stroked his beard with one hand, "General, we can kill at night, the river is turbulent, and the Jiangdong water ghosts can't be explored in the water for a long time, and they will definitely not be able to do their best in one day." ” Huang Zu turned around, "We only need to defend the city, and it is a fluke to be able to hold back the transportation of heavy grain and grass by the Jiangdong Army by waterway for a few days." ” Chen Sheng looked at Huang Zu's distant back, and sighed faintly in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that Huang Zu and Jiangdong had a grudge against killing their sons, and Liu Qi would have killed Sun Ce for Huang Zu, I am afraid that at this moment, the situation would not have become so difficult.
Everyone in the world knows that it will be difficult for Jingxiang to defeat the Jiangdong Army, and Huang Zu is a good general of Jingxiang, so how can he not see through it In the blink of an eye, noon had passed, and Bu Qi was holding the bowl and listening to the report of the people below.
"What's the situation?"
"The sergeant who went into the water was swept away by the river, and five of the water ghosts froze, and now they are being treated in the tent."
Bu Qi put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Order, step up the deployment of additional manpower, before sunset tomorrow, we must find a new channel." ” "Lord Taishou, even if we find a new channel before sunset tomorrow, and our military transport ships cross the border at night, and there is no one to guide us, I am afraid."
Bu Qiu glanced up at him, "Order the canopy boat to lower the iron anchor and wait in the river to guide the fleet." ” "As for the affairs on the shore, you don't need to pay attention to it, you have your own General Komeito guard the ferry."
"Whoa."
Bu Qi returned to the tent, picked up an urgent secret letter on the case, and unfolded it to look at it.
The envelope reads: "Yuzhang Taishou Buzi Mountain personally opened", and the signature is the new Yangzhou assassin Sun Shao.
"Today, the Jiangdong Chuanfang Naval Division warship has been launched, commanded by the partial general Ling Cao, and it has gone up the river in the starry night, and tomorrow night, it will cross the Jiangxia ferry."
Bu Qi's face was full of anxiety, he knew that if it weren't for the urgency of the front-line war, he would definitely not let the warships that had just been built from the shipyard rush into the water to help, but now that the Jiangxia waterway was blocked, it would take time to dredge.
If it can't be dredged in time, I'm afraid it will delay the battle ahead.
At the same time, after receiving the military order, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai joined forces and ordered the clipper to take the vanguard, sail out of Yunmengze, and inspect the Yangtze River.
Half an hour later, he got the Jiangdong Sailor to explore the ship and set out in a big way, Cai Mao immediately ordered, ordered Wang Wei, Cai Zhong, Cai He and other generals to board the ship immediately, and entangled more than 2,000 sailor warships, across the Jiangling Water Village, ready to advance downstream.
The momentum of the decisive battle has risen, on land, Zhang Yun and Du Bo are guarded by the troops of Linyuan, and the soldiers of Wenping and Jiangling are waiting for them, and the pontoon bridges in the upper reaches have been added to 20, only after the victory of the water division, they can lead the army to cross the river, drive straight in, and capture the four counties of Jingnan.
Liu Qi ordered Pang Tong to be the military division, gathered Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Lü Meng and other generals, 40,000 soldiers and horses, and confronted Zhang Yun and Du Bozhi in Linyuan.
On land, Zhang Liao's troops have arrived in Xunyang, and they can join forces with Xu Huang's troops within two days, Liu Qi ordered Liu Ye to command the front army, and Xu Shu sat in Huainan, waiting for the opportunity to capture the whole county of Jiangxia.
In addition, more than 100,000 people in Huainan concentrated all the catapults in Huainan and transported them outside Jiangxia City.
Liu Qi's military order to Xu Huang was that if Huang Zu refused to surrender, he would have destroyed the city wall with a catapult, and destroyed the city gate with a rushing cart, and the whole army would enter the city and kill the Jingxiang Huang clan and the whole gate.
Huang Zu is already Jiangdong's sworn enemy.
After receiving the urgent report of the military order and the dispatch of the sailors, Bu Qiu dispatched all the officials in the palace to the riverside, gathered hundreds of strong people, and successively slept to investigate.
In this era, there were no underwater searchlights, so they could only rely on their perennial experience of swimming in rivers to find reefs at the bottom of the river.
At night, a wire cable at the bottom of the river was broken, and it was extremely difficult to destroy the iron cable in the turbulent river, so the sergeants who entered the water had more than ten people who had died.
"The herald, the sergeants and people who died this time will be given silver medals for loyal martyrs, and their children can enter the county school."
Buqi commanded after listening to the battle report ahead.
"Whoa."
The sergeant was ordered to leave, and Bu Qi glanced at Cao Peng in the tent, "The land grain route from Yuzhang to Changsha cannot be cut off, and in addition, I have ordered the officials of the counties in Jiangdong and the counties of Jingnan to be sent to take up their posts earlier." ” The outside must first be inside, this sentence is suitable for this scene in Jiangdong
