The soldiers were confused, and the defenders of the navy camp outside Xiangyang City were even more confused.
This guard is a native of Jingzhou. He has been the guard here for many years. He has personally felt that Jingzhou is getting stronger step by step.
I believe that no large army will attack here in our lifetime.[
Not long ago, Zhang Yun went on an expedition and recruited four tower ships and eighty warships from him. At that moment, the guard thought with joy in his heart that such a powerful combat force could deal with a small Huang Zhong.
Against a miscellaneous army, it is really easy to capture them.
Jingchu will definitely win.
But what was the result? He didn't see the mighty standard warships returning one after another. Instead, he saw the motley army coming towards Xiangyang one after another.
When he saw that scene, he was almost shocked.
Under what circumstances would a naval fleet with an army of 20,000 men, eighty warships, and four large ships be defeated by a luxury ship that was used for enjoyment and fishing?
The fleet composed of Xiao Zhou.
The guard couldn't believe it, but the reality had to be believed, because what appeared in front of him was indeed Huang Zhong's miscellaneous county.
"No." The guard shouted up to the sky, spitting blood and fell to the ground, dying suddenly.
"General, general." The soldiers around him were shocked.
At the same time, Huang Zhong also saw the navy camp next to the ferry. Different from the previous situation, it would take time and a huge manpower for him to control the warships floating on the river.
Compared with those, Xiangyang is really important. But it is much easier to control this navy camp. According to the intelligence, there should be more than 200 warships and five or six tower ships in this camp.
class.
This is the second benefit of capturing Xiangyang. They can quickly obtain a batch of warships, and do not need to slowly develop a shipyard in Xinye.
Although shipbuilding is important, the shipbuilding cycle is too long. It may take several months to complete the formation of a warship.
It takes a year to form a large-scale fleet.
But now this time has been shortened.
"Zhongye, you have an agreement with His Highness not to attack Xiangyang. I am not willing to break this agreement, so you will lead two thousand troops to attack this navy camp and protect the warship we are about to get." Huang Zhong turned his head.
, ordered to Wenpin.
"Promise." A flash of gratitude flashed in Wenpin's eyes, and he agreed. He immediately got off the flagship, boarded a small boat, and divided his troops into two thousand to attack the navy camp.
The remaining 13,000 troops followed Huang Zhong and Wang Wei off the warship, facing south, towards Xiangyang.
The administrative seat of Jingzhou was originally located in Wancheng, but Liu Biao later moved to Xiangyang. Xiangyang became valuable because of this. Although Liu Biao did not pay attention to military preparations, he repaired the city very carefully.
Minor repairs are almost done once a year and major repairs are done every three years. At the same time, the city is widened and thickened whenever there is an opportunity, making Xiangyang City extremely tall and heavy.[
But even so, Liu Biao never thought that the day would come when a large army would attack Xiangyang. Because Jingchu was so powerful, in terms of population, finances, and the number of troops, he was definitely a hero in the world.
