Chapter 243: Red Cliff! Chibi!


"Where is this?"

said Ding Zheng groaned, slowly opening his tired eyes.

As far as the eye can see, there are aquatic plants all around, and the ground under your feet is dry, but the surroundings are full of moisture.

"The military marquis is silent."

The sergeant next to him put a hand to his mouth.

Ding Zheng's expression was awe-inspiring, and he saw a sergeant slowly lift a corner of the aquatic weed, and looked out along the gap, Ding Zheng saw the spacious river, and at this moment, on the river, densely packed with large and small boats were moving.

Near the river bank, is a row of yachts, on the yachts, the sergeant with a gun and a bow looks around the shore, each warship has a battle flag on the stern, on which are written "Jingzhou Sailor" four big characters.

Ding Zheng's eyes signaled, and the aquatic plants returned to their original state, and he didn't need to look at the situation outside.

"How many people are there in our army," he silently pointed to the four sergeants present, and although he did not say anything, his gestures could also indicate his meaning.

Qu Chang smiled bitterly and took out a large pile of wood-carved nameplates from the baggage he was carrying.

Ding Zheng sighed, his eyes full of guilt.

A strong wind blew through the water's edge, and the group had to lie on the ground, motionless, and they could already vaguely see the yacht patrolling close to the shore from the gap in the aquatic weeds.

When the yacht by the river sailed a hundred steps away, Ding Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and asked, "When we wait for thirty-eight people to come out, there are only five left."

"If Ah Niu is still alive, no one will treat the military marquis, I'm afraid" Ding Zheng struggled to sit up, "Whoever you are waiting for is sharp, immediately go to the nearby post station to report that the Jingxiang Water Master is going south." ” The four sergeants glanced at each other, and Ah Niu, who was holding a handful of herbs in his hand, sighed, "Marquis, we are on the north bank." ” "North Shore" Ding Ding's color changed slightly, he looked back at the vicinity, through the gap, he saw a different landform from the south bank, he sighed heavily, "We are still in the territory of Jiangxia or Nanjun" "Fifteen miles north here, it should be Huarong Road."

Ding Zheng looked at the fleet of ships down the river, "It seems that we can't report in time." ” "Don't be anxious, we can take care of our injuries and go to Jiangxia along the mountain road, we have been reported when we come, and An Lu has been conquered by General Zilong."

"How many miles is there to Anlu," Ding Zheng asked.

"About one or two hundred miles."

Ding Zheng sighed, "The wounds we have suffered from swords and arrows can be seen carefully by those who have been in the army for a long time, and we can't enter the city, so let's take a detour through the mountain road and rush to Anlu as soon as possible." ” "Whoa."

When the fleet passed, a group of five people supported each other and rushed towards Huarong Road.

"Marquis, in your opinion, Jingxiang Water Division is going to Chibi" "Naturally, the order of the lord is to order my Poyang Water Division and Chaohu Water Division to join forces and fight a decisive battle with Jingxiang Water Division in Chibi."

"Marquis, can our army win?"

"Naturally, the lord has ordered Butai to guard the Chibi Jieshui Village, and as early as a few months ago, he was ready for today's battle."

"The river is wide, and whoever can win this battle will be able to dominate the waterway of the Yangtze River."

As the sun set, just as a group of people staggered into the narrow and steep mountain road, Jiang Qin, who had arrived in the waters of Wulin, glanced at the direction of the stern of the boat, "Haven't you returned yet?"

"The Jingxiang Naval Division is mostly composed of small warships and building ships, and once the sentinel ship is entangled, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape."

Jiang Qin sighed, "Order the rear team to send a sentry ship, and if there is a battle report, it will be submitted immediately." ” "Whoa."

Towards dawn, the fleet had arrived at Chibi, Jiang Qin ordered that the fleet not enter the water village, anchor along the river, and send sentinel ships twenty miles away, scattered on both sides of the river, responsible for detecting the movements of the Jingxiang Naval Division.

At this time, the battle report from the front was also presented.

"Report to the governor, our army sentry boat rescued a sailor robe, heard him say, our army with a "scout" one, four yachts and Jingxiang sailors "scout" two, yachts six for the battle, he fell into the water with an arrow, luckily caught the driftwood and was saved, before he fell into the water, our army sailors have taken the lead. ” The adjutant general happily informed Jiang Qin of the reports he had heard from below.

"The enemy is outnumbered, but we can win, who is the surname of the marquis who led the team," Jiang Qin asked excitedly.

"Ding Zheng, a native of Anfeng, Lujiang, was originally a hundred-person Dubo in Shu County, and then entered Shu County for several months to study, and was able to be promoted to the 500-person military marquis of our water division.

Jiang Qin pondered for a moment, "If you don't return tomorrow, you will report the list of missing sergeants, Ding Zheng is at home, but there are still wives and children."

"There is still a son, but he is eleven or twelve years old, and he is left to his wife at home."

"Ding Zheng led the sentinel ship to meet the Jingxiang sentinel ship, reported the battle to Hanshou, listed Wu Hou, awarded him the silver medal of loyalty, and promoted Ding Zheng to be the general of the patrol river, and entered the duke."

"Whoa."

The adjutant general looked slightly surprised, cut the general before the battle, and strengthened the military prestige of the whole army, Ding Zheng was promoted three levels from the post of military marquis, past the captain, the general, and the Yamen general, and became a partial general, but now, Jiang Qin has added one level and awarded him the post of miscellaneous general, which has been treated as a death.

"In addition, it is rumored that the whole army has won the first battle of our army's naval division."

"Whoa."

The deputy general suddenly realized that Jiang Qin wanted Ding Zheng's sentry to be an example for the Jiangdong Naval Division.

The war is about to start, if you don't hurry up to improve morale, when the time comes, in the face of Jingxiang Water Division, the soldiers below will inevitably be a little anxious.

At dawn, Yuzhang 300 miles urgently, between Fankou and Xiakou blocked the river, did not dredge, but has relied on the exploration of more than 20 water ghosts, groped out a waterway at the bottom of the river that is ten zhang wide.

It was almost noon, Gan Ning led the army to arrive, he had more than 200 brocade sails, and took over the 3,000 people of the sailors, with his bravery, he could be the vanguard.

While the army was having a meal, a sentinel ship twenty miles away lit wolf smoke from the river, and the warship docked outside the Chibi waters immediately reported with a flag that the Jingxiang Sailor was coming.

They went down the river at a very fast speed, and they could reach Chibi in about half an hour.

The decisive battle is imminent.

Jiang Qin gathered the generals in front of the tent, "Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is related to the survival of the Jiangdong Water Division, the belonging of the Yangtze River Waterway, and the Jiangdong Army will win." ” "Victory."

Gan Ning raised his arms and shouted.

"Victory."

Zhou Tai pressed the long sword on his waist with one hand, and raised his arms and shouted with the other.

"Victory."

Zhuge Jin, who arrived by escorting grain and grass, also raised his right arm.

The sound of the waves spread from inside the tent to outside the tent, from the flat water village along the river to the thousands of warships moored on the river.

The sound shook the heavens and the earth, and with the turbulent river at the moment, the war spirit in everyone's hearts was ignited.

"The whole army boarded the ship and prepared for battle."

"General Gan's vanguard is in front of the boat, General Zhou Tai leads the ship in front of the Chinese army, and the governor of Bendu sits in the Chinese army's vehicles and ships."

"Whoa."

Thousands of warships moved in unison, like a long dragon winding on the shore, the sudden and the ship in front of the dragon's whiskers, the building boats, the car ships are the dragon body, and the yachts and scouts hidden near the shore are the dragon's claws and dragon tails, which have not yet arrived:
