Chapter 669 : Chapter 329 Huang Zhong seems a little weak (2)
"Ahead is the Xiangjiang River, let me beat the drum to boost my momentum." Suddenly, a three-way intersection appeared in front, and the Feishui River was about to merge into the Xiangjiang River, which is the barrier to the north of Xiangyang. As long as you break through this barrier, Xiangyang is in sight, and Huang
Zhong's heart was filled with pride and he shouted.
"Promise." A soldier promised and immediately passed on the order.
"Dong dong dong."
Suddenly, the boundless sound of drums shook the world. The three generals Huang Zhong, Wenpin, and Wang Wei beat the drums and went down the river to attack Xiangyang with a momentum like a rainbow.[
However, even so, judging from Jingchu's spies, this is indeed a group of rabble.
In a sentry tower by the river, several spies were pointing at Huang Zhong's fleet and making comments.
"I heard that when Old General Huang was in Xiangyang, he was unparalleled in power. He was the general of Jingchu. Only after being kicked in the brain by a donkey would he defect to a small prince like Lu Su."
One of the spies said with a smile.
"Yeah, think about how wealthy we are in Jingchu, with countless warships and hundreds of thousands of armor. Even if we go out with a partial army, the warships are densely packed and majestic. Look at Lu Su again, what kind of fleet is this? It's really
It’s so easy to laugh at.”
There was a spy pointing at Huang Zhong's fleet, with a sense of wealth and superiority.
"Hahahahaha." The others laughed.
Amidst the laughter of this group of spies, the news was spread to Xiangyang.
Because Liu Qi succeeded to the throne, his prestige was insufficient. His father Liu Biao's positions as Jingzhou Mu and Zhennan General were lowered one level each, and he was known as Jingzhou Governor and Zhennan General.
As a result, the former Zhennan General's Mansion in Xiangyang City was changed into today's Zhennan General's Mansion.
At this moment, in the hall of the general's residence, Liu Qi was sitting at the top, followed by Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Zhang Yun and other important officials of Jingchu.
"The spies are here to report that Huang Zhong has arrived."
Zhang Yun said seriously.
Suddenly, Liu Qi, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others looked solemn. Huang Zhong was a famous general in Jingchu. Although his time in Xiangyang was only short, he made them feel his talent.
It has to be taken seriously.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yun said more solemnly: "The warships are densely packed, no less than hundreds."
"What? Hundreds of ships?" someone exclaimed.
Liu Qi, Kuai Yue, Cai Hao and others suddenly turned pale. How many troops could these hundreds of warships carry? Compared with the army owned by Lu Su, the number of these warships was too many, too many, and it was too much for people to touch.
Mindless.
Could it be that the intelligence was wrong? Lu Su neither sent troops to Yangzhou nor left a garrison in Xinye, but instead let Huang Zhong lead a total of 27,000 troops south? [
Xiangyang only has 30,000 soldiers. What if we face Huang Zhong's 27,000 elite soldiers?
Liu Qi, Kuai Yue, Cai Hao and others suddenly felt a sense of suspense.
"Yes, there are hundreds of warships, but they are all large luxury ships or personal boats. They are good for enjoyment and fishing, but they are not suitable for conquest." Finally, Zhang Yun laughed.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall lost its solemnity and became cheerful.
"Luxury ship? Small boat? Did Huang Zhong recruit private ships and form a fleet of hundreds? Taking a ship like that, he wants to go south to Xiangjiang and attack Xiangyang? Is he crazy?"
Someone laughed.
"Oh, I don't want to do that. It's just that I'm really not on a stable footing and I'm in an extraordinary embarrassment. There are no warships available, so it's understandable to recruit private ships." Zhang Yun said, pretending to be polite.
Immediately, everyone laughed again, and the tense atmosphere before the war was immediately swept away.
Although Kuai Yue and Cai Mao felt that Zhang Yun's attitude was a bit inappropriate, the solemn atmosphere before the war was wiped away, and they forgave Zhang Yun's debauchery.
However, is the warship Huang Zhong was riding really like that?
The two of them immediately began to look forward to it. No matter how strong the general was, he still needed the cooperation of warships. If the warships looked like a ragtag group of people, how could they defeat Jingchu's mighty navy on the water even with strong soldiers?
Thinking about it, the two looked at each other and made a decision immediately.
