Huang Zhong followed Zhang Yan's instructions and took action step by step, not advancing. In a blink of an eye, a few days had passed. Although he captured many county towns along the way, they were all empty cities. The Jiangdong army had long given up on defense, and the people in the city also fled to the south when they heard the news. The city was in a mess and could not even find a grain of food.

At the same time, Zhang Yan also led the army of horses and camps from Chaisang, allowing Taishici, Gan Ning and Zhang He to lead 500 cavalry to explore the way first. The remaining armies still had generals to command and advance in batches. Zhang Yan himself led the army to the middle, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Pang De, Lu Meng, Li Dian and others surrounded Zhang Yan. Jia Xu and Sima Yi always followed Zhang Yan's left and right sides, while Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong and Ma Jun led the Tiangongfang team to the end of the entire army.

More than 100,000 troops were in a vast and stormy way forward, and they all fled wherever they passed. When they passed by the county town along the way, they were basically empty cities.

The situations encountered by the water and land armies are the same, which is a bit too strange. After the news was fed back to Zhang Yan, it gave Zhang Yan an illusion that this might be the enemy's strategy to strengthen the walls and clear the fields.

Subsequently, news came from Zhao Yun's army that he had cut off the connection between Sun and Shanyue and marched towards Nanchang according to the agreed time limit. However, the situations they encountered during the march were the same as those encountered by Zhang Yan and Huang Zhong.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Yan would inevitably have some speculations, so he sent the Jinyiwei to Nanchang to inquire about the news and see what the situation looked like.

A day later, the Jinyiwei fought back and forth from Nanchang and brought back the latest news in Nanchang City. Sun Quan let go of all the people in the city, leaving only a 33,000 army, ready to defend Nanchang City and resist to the death.

It is reported that in order to defend Nanchang City, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were united and looked at death as if they were home. They also used bricks to seal all the three gates of the East Gate, the South Gate and the West Gate, leaving only the north Gate to welcome the arrival of Zhang Yan's army.

The north gate of Nanchang City is a water gate, and outside the gate is a moat. The river water of this moat is directed from the Gan River. The moat not only surrounds Nanchang City and is also connected with the Gan River. The moat outside the north gate is the drainage place of the Gan River. The river surface is extremely wide, like a small lake.

The water gate of Nanchang City is just the city's urn. If you want to enter Nanchang City from the north gate, you must go through the water gate. Then you enter the north gate through the water gate, which is what you really want to enter Nanchang City.

It seems that Sun Quan is preparing to take advantage of the unique advantages of the North Gate to stick to it.

However, in Zhang Yan's opinion, no matter how strong Nanchang City is, it will definitely not be able to withstand the secret weapons in his army. As long as this secret weapon appears, it can capture Nanchang City in an instant.

For Zhang Yan, Sun Quan's behavior this time was equivalent to putting himself in a turtle shell. He thought he was very strong, but he didn't know that it would be easy for a smart person to get the turtle out of the turtle shell.

Zhang Yan urged the army to accelerate its advance. It is necessary to arrive at the city of Nanchang within three days.

However, just afternoon that day, all the 70,000 naval troops led by Huang Zhong had arrived at the city of Nanchang.

Although Huang Zhong arrived, he was not in a hurry to attack, but directly sent someone to drive the warship into the wide moat outside the north gate.

Hundreds of warships lined up on the moat, with orange-red Han flags fluttering in the wind, and soldiers were wearing orange-red military uniforms, and even the hull of the warships were painted orange-red. Such a bright color echoed the afterglow of the evening, and an orange-red patch was reflected on the water surface. From a distance, it was a bright red landscape.

After all, the moat was not wide enough to accommodate the Han army's warships. The navy soldiers had to station on the Ganshui River. Then the soldiers all went ashore, set up camps on the shore, and built fortifications to prevent the enemy from coming out while they were not stable in establishing their camps.

All this arrangement is due to Huang Zhong's precise arrangement. Although Sun Quan had sealed all four city gates, the Han army slowly detoured, walked around the moat, and completely surrounded Nanchang City.

Sun Quan had already wandered around the city tower of Nanchang City. He was not surprised to see the Han army surrounded Nanchang City, because all this was as expected.

Zhou Yu was dead, and Lu Fan had no news yet. Sun Quan could only fight this battle with his own wisdom. He blocked the city gate and cut off the soldiers' desire to retreat, so that the soldiers could fight back and forth. This was the solution that Sun Quan thought of himself. But he also guessed the purpose of the enemy's operation. Whether the navy or the army arrived first, in his opinion, the Han army would not let him go, and would definitely use several times his troops to surround Nanchang City.

Sun Quan’s guess was indeed very accurate in this regard. But whether the Han army’s movements will be as he guessed needs further verification.

Sun Quan came to the urn city at the north gate again. He stood on the water gate that could lead directly to the city from the waterway, looking at the neatly arranged warships outside. Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "There is a good show tonight..."

Huang Zhong commanded the navy to scatter around Nanchang City, firmly encircling Nanchang City, and dug trenches one after another, and placed some horse-resisting and deer antlers on the edge of the trenches, with the purpose of stopping the enemy from attacking them.

Therefore, there are no war instructions tonight, only the order to set up camps. As long as the camp is established, you can confront people in the city for a long time.

Huang Zhong was the vanguard of this war. As the vanguard officer, he must have wanted to use the 70,000 naval troops he led to to capture the city and cut off Sun Quan's head. But he was cautious, but did not directly choose to attack. Instead, he first adopted a defensive attitude to deal with emergencies, prepared to rest for a night, and launch another attack tomorrow.

When night fell, Huang Zhong's subordinates still set up camp on the shore, while the main force of the 10,000 naval army led by Huang Zhong was always guarding the water gate on the moat outside the water gate, preventing the enemy from coming out to fight.

As soon as Huang Zhong arrived in Nanchang City, he took a boat and rode around Nanchang City. He felt that although Sun Quan regarded the Water Gate as a defensive fortification, it was easy for him who was familiar with water war to break the Water Gate. He had to send a large army to approach the Water Gate, constantly shoot arrows on the city wall, shoot the enemy's living forces, and secretly send a water ghost who is proficient in water to destroy the Water Gate. Once the Water Gate is destroyed, he would command the warships to directly kill in and use a powerful arrow formation to suppress the enemy's counterattack. When the ship approached the city wall, he would ask the navy soldiers to take out the flying hooks, hook the battlements of the city wall, and climb up the city wall. As long as someone climbed to the top of the city, they would be able to seize Nanchang City.

Of course, these are just ideas. The real situation depends on changes in actual war.

After nightfall, the deathly quiet in Nanchang City seemed to be like there was no sign of life. There were no torches hanging on the city tower, and there was no light in the city, as if it was a dead city.

The opposite is the situation outside the city. The Han army was still camping and camping, with torches everywhere, and the lights shining like daylight, just surrounding Nanchang City.

Seeing that the last step was about to be completed, groups of black shadows suddenly rushed out from behind the Han army and killed everyone when they saw it. They actually attacked the Han army. The offensive was very fierce and did not give anyone any chance to breathe. The Han army was caught off guard and screamed endlessly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

After a while, there were shouts and gongs and drums in the Han army.

When the Han army reacted, the group of black shadows immediately retreated, coming and going like the wind, and the Han army could not even catch up with them.

This sudden change made the Han army feel very depressed. Although there were not many people who died, the Han army felt very disgusted. They didn't even see what the enemy commander looked like, because the enemy's face was covered with a piece of black cloth.

These enemy troops came and went like the wind and were very skilled. At first glance, they were well-trained troops. The most annoying thing was that so many Han troops did not kill a single enemy, leaving only the Han army's corpses in the ground.

The three city gates in the east, south and west were all attacked to varying degrees, and the situations they encountered were also different. The generals reported this to Huang Zhong one after another. After Huang Zhong heard about this, he was about to go to patrol, but suddenly he found that there were raging fires in the east, south and west directions, and the unfinished camps were also engulfed in the fire. The Han soldiers rushed to flee outside the camp, and even forgot to carry their armor and weapons when they ran.

It was not a coincidence that three city gates caught fire at the same time. Someone must have made precise arrangements. Huang Zhong looked at the thick black smoke coming out of all three directions and couldn't help but frown, feeling that this matter was not simple.

Before Huang Zhong started to act, there were shouts of shouts that resounded throughout the world in three directions. Groups of people in black killed again and rushed directly to the group of Han soldiers who had just escaped from the fire camp. They raised the weapons in their hands and slashed and slashed.

The Han army had just escaped from the fire camp, and was still worried. Suddenly, they were attacked again. The Han army collapsed immediately, and the soldiers all ran to the shore, trying to board the ship to hide.

Unexpectedly, the ships docked on the shore suddenly caught fire at this time. The warships were made of wood. Once they burned, they spread quickly. Moreover, there were another one next to each other where the warships were docked. The fire spread very quickly. Before the people on the ship could react, the warships had already caught fire. The sailors who were staying on the ship had to rush into the water.

What's even more terrifying is that the water is not safe either. Groups of Jiangdong Army sailors holding sharp blades were waiting in the water. When they saw the Han army jumping down, they held the short blade and slashed hard on their necks, directly cutting off the throats of the Han army soldiers. Blood kept gushing out, and actually dyed the river water blood red...
