The war continued, although the Sui army's resistance was beyond Xiao Liang's imagination.
But because of the successive battles, Xiao Liang's army has won consecutive battles.
For a time, the two armies were also in a state of anxiety.
In Fangling County, on a remote path, a team is galloping forward.
Looking slowly, I saw that the general in front of the team was Su Lie Su Dingfang.
As Su Lie ordered the army to gallop with all his might, the speed of the Yanmen soldiers suddenly doubled and accelerated.
Within a few days, the Yanmen army arrived at a riverbank.
Su Lie's eyes were fixed on the surroundings of the river, and only after half a sound did he realize that there was a reed in the obscurity of the river.
In an instant, Su Lie thought of the words that Gao Qi had reminded him of when he was leaving.
"Everything is hidden in the reeds."
Without pondering too much, Su Lie slapped his horse and danced his sword at the reeds, and said loudly: "Quickly bounce away the reeds." ” Hearing the order, all the sergeants did not dare to slack off, and immediately obeyed the military order.
Under the command of the generals, the covered reeds swayed one after another.
For a while, the scene in front of him frightened many soldiers present.
Because hidden under the reeds was a warship.
And there are many categories, including both Mong and fighting ships.
However, the main one is still dominated by the Mong.
At this time, the biggest question was why Gao Qi led his army from the north to have so many warships In fact, all this is Jia Xu's plan and calculation.
From the very beginning, the real purpose of Jia Xu's plan was to annihilate the 100,000 rebels in Jingxiang in one fell swoop.
Jia Xu's first step plan was to use cavalry mobility to cut off the connection between Xiao Yue's vanguard army and the main army.
Thus crushing in one fell swoop and cutting off the rebels' arm After the first step of the plan is completed, the most critical second step of the plan is ushered in.
The second step of the plan is divided into three aspects, one is to relocate the people in each county and implement the strategic plan of clearing the wilderness.
So that Xiao Liangjun could not get the slightest material supplement.
The second is to let Xue Rengui lead the army to gradually withdraw and lure the enemy into depth.
And the third is also the most critical link, if this link cannot be completed perfectly, then the plan to annihilate Xiao Liang's army will also become empty talk.
And what is the plan of the third step, in fact, it is the battleship in front of Su Liejun's eyes now.
It is important to know that Fangling County is located in the western part of Xiangyang.
But the most important point is that Fangling County and Xiangyang County face each other across the Xiangjiang River.
Therefore, Jia Xu's plan was to suddenly cross the river from Fangling County with a light army.
Thus raiding Xiangyang with lightning speed.
At this time, because Xiao Liang's army had been lured deep into the enemy, the whole army went north.
As a result, the city of Xiangyang is extremely empty, and at this time, as long as the Yanmen army operates properly, it is not a problem to capture Xiangyang at all.
In the meantime, the shadow was used to walk around the rumors in Jiangling City to provoke the people of the city to rebel against Gong Yuan's position as the main general.
This is actually mainly because Xue Rengui's battle report mentions: Gong Yuan, the rebel commander, is a person who can fight well and has rich combat experience, and I am afraid that he will be aware of it at a critical moment.
It was because of this information that Jia Xu planned a poisonous plan that made Xiao Mo forced to form and had to change generals on the spot.
This plan is not poisonous, Jia Xu not only has a sharp eye, but also estimates the psychological reaction that Xiao Mo will have.
Moreover, even if Gong Yuan attacked the defense line of the Yanmen army with all his might, and suffered heavy losses, the psychology that the people of Jiangling would rise up and oppose it was extremely accurate.
I have to say that Jia Xu's ability to touch people's hearts has reached its peak As for where the Yanmen Army prepared so many warships, this is all due to the Xinye County Commander Zhang Xun.
After hearing that Jia Xu persuaded Gao Qi to go all out to build a battleship, Zhang Xun immediately handed over all the battleships that had been hidden for a long time to Gao Qi.
It turned out that since Zhang Xun took office as the commander of Xinye County, on the one hand, he has newly repaired water conservancy and developed people's livelihood.
On the other hand, Zhang Xun also gathered the manpower and material resources of the entire county to build warships in case of emergency.
Therefore, Gao Qi was able to collect a large number of warships in such a short period of time.
With the battleships fully prepared, Su Lie also ordered the whole army to start crossing the river in batches.
The whole army galloped towards Xiangyang City on the opposite bank at full speed Xiangyang City I saw a lonely green-shirted scribe on the city wall shaking his head and sighing bitterly.
"Hey, now, since the general was dismissed and escorted back to Gangneung."
"Xiao Ling, the chief general of the army, began to vigorously suppress dissidents and cultivate cronies."

"Now I am also assigned to the rear to be responsible for escorting grain and grass" This green-shirted scribe is a scribe surnamed Cui.
I saw that the scribe surnamed Cui couldn't help but sigh bitterly when he thought of what was happening in the army today.
For a long time, the scribe surnamed Cui slowly looked at the incomparably wide Xiangjiang River.
"Why is the river so calm, is there something going on?"
For a while, the scribe surnamed Cui looked at Jiang Center, and couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.
But I can't say anything is wrong, but the uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Now the situation can be described as affecting the whole body Since the main general Xiao Ling had already led the main force of the army straight north, there were only a few thousand old and weak soldiers in Xiangyang City.
If the Sui army suddenly attacked Xiangyang City at this time, the situation would be out of control It's just that the scribe surnamed Cui didn't think that the Sui army could go south from Xinye to Xiangyang, where else could they raid from.
For a while, the sound of killing under Xinye City sounded all over the world, and countless rebels rushed up and attacked Xinye City directly.
In an instant, Gao Qi stood proudly on the city wall, defending the city in an orderly manner.
And Zhang Xun, who is good at defending the city, stood beside Gao Qi and explained the way to defend the city for Gao Qi.
Although Gao Qi has experienced no less than dozens of battles over the years, it can be said that he has made great achievements and made outstanding achievements.
But Gao Qiju always led the army to take the initiative to attack, and rarely defended the city.
Therefore, for the experience of defending the city, Gao Qi is far inferior to Zhang Xun, the first god of defending the city in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Gao Qi took Zhang Xun with him and asked him for attention measures to defend the city.
After all, there is a saying in the Analects: "If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher" For a time, due to Gao Qi's orderly command, he ordered to defend the city, plus Zhang Xun assisted from the side.
Xinye City can be described as stable as Mount Tai for a while.
In the center of the Xiangjiang River, a fleet is getting closer and closer to Xiangyang City.
But at this time, the garrison in Xiangyang City did not notice anything abnormal.
"General, the rebel garrison is lax and has not found our army."
On a fighting ship, the scout who took the lead reported to General Su Lie.
"Oh" Hearing this, the main general Su Lie couldn't help but be interested, and said thoughtfully.
"Since the rebels are unaware of our army, it will be easy to do."
For a while, Su Lie suddenly had an idea, and he thought of a strategy to break through Xiangyang.
"Xu Qian, you will lead the Mong to Xiangyang" The great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty is called :
