Half an hour later, King Ping, dressed in armor, arrived at the head of Xiangyang City and immediately stood up with a row of strong shields in front of him.

Fortunately, it was across the Han River, otherwise, King Ping would probably have been frightened by the formation on the opposite side.

On the other side, I saw an overwhelming army of imperial troops. Sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, cavalry, and archers were all lined up. Looking at it from a distance, I couldn't see the end. At this time, dozens of warships were lined up in a row, and there were many more.

The boats are being put into the river one by one.

Needless to say, overnight, all the territory outside Xiangyang City had been taken over, and it was really a bit of a mystery.

King Ping was so angry that he drew out his sword and pointed towards the other side.

"Men of Xiangyang, listen to the order. If the enemy dares to attack, they must have a taste of our power!"

In his words, he had regarded the imperial army as the enemy. At this point, he also understood. The aforementioned mobilization of the imperial army to the south of the Yangtze River was actually King Jing's plan to seize the opportunity to attack the east and attack the west.

"promise!"

When the soldiers of the Xiangyang garrison saw how excited King Ping was, they naturally gave a loud shout.

Commander-in-Chief Zhang Da had a serious look on his face. It was expected that the navy troops from the North would be newly built soon, so he was confident that they would not be able to get away with it.

Speaking of this naval force, Prince Jing actually secretly conducted training after he intended to use troops in the south of the Yangtze River. Very few people knew about it. This time they were used in Xiangyang, which was considered a surprise force to test the results of the training.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, with the natural danger of the Han River here and the heroic troops of our Xiangyang Navy here, how can we let them get away with it!"

After saying that, Zhang Dayi raised his spear and pointed towards the other side.

"Commanders, have your swords and guns been sharpened?"

"profit!"

The soldiers spoke in unison, and for a moment, their morale boiled.

"General Wu, listen to your orders!"

Zhang Da turned around and Wu Yingxiong quickly knelt down on one knee.

"Go down to the city quickly and order the navy to get into position and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"promise!"

Wu Yingxiong replied loudly, stood up immediately, and hurried down to the city with two guards.

Prince Ping looked on, feeling very at ease.

Humph! Your brother Prince Jing wanted to operate on me, but I didn’t do what you wanted. This Xiangyang of mine is not made of paper. I hope you won’t regret it!

"General Zhang, I leave Xiangyang to you!"

Prince Ping turned around and held Zhang Da's hand, his eyes filled with eager sincerity and enough trust. This was his confidant who had been with him for many years, and he was indeed relieved.

Taoist Master Xingyue has been silent. He is a layman regarding this battle formation. However, he can still see the general trend clearly. Prince Jing obviously made a strange move and a dangerous move. If not for Prince Ping, he would have already

Be prepared, maybe the troops will arrive at the city this night. But with such a move, Xiangyang will be difficult to defeat for a while, but the world will definitely be in chaos. How could the blessed king of Jiangnan miss such a good opportunity?

Of course, if King Jing succeeds and Xiangyang City is destroyed, then going down the river and south of the Yangtze River will be really dangerous!

He admired Prince Jing's courage a little, but he also lacked confidence in Prince Jing. All strategies will ultimately depend on whether they can be truly realized. This may not be the winner, but it will definitely have a great influence on the direction of the future war.

Impact.

Woo——

As the long horn blew and the war drums beat, the imperial army began to move. The small boat full of soldiers, under the cover of the war ship, rushed towards Xiangyang City menacingly.

Wu Yingxiong is sitting on a large ship of the Navy, with his sword in his hand and a solemn expression.

In this first battle, the enemy must be demoralized. Having served in the army for many years, he fully understands this.

After holding about half a stick of incense, when the imperial navy crossed the center line of the Han River, he shouted: "Meet the enemy!"
