Standing on the bow of the ship with 50,000 navy troops, Zuo Shiren just wanted to curse.
He had just passed the Chuzhou River section and was less than a hundred miles away from the river. He saw an old general, also with tens of thousands of Cangzhou navy troops, blocking him tightly.
Logically speaking, such a large Cangzhou Navy should go to Muyun Prefecture to provide reinforcements. Moreover, he was already very careful. He only followed the expedition when he heard about the war in Muyun Prefecture.
But who would have expected that he would still be blocked by someone? It could even be said that he fell into an ambush by the Cangzhou Army.
On the boat opposite, Zhang Qi also had a bad look on his face. Previously, he was asked to take 30,000 people to rush to the aid of Muyunzhou. But now, the order was changed day and night, and he had to rush back again, sailing down the river to intercept the Lingzhou Navy.
"Stop the ship!" Zhang Qi gritted his teeth. He was angry not only at the enemy troops in front of him, but also at his own stupidity. After being deceived by the traitorous concubine, he took advantage of it again.
"Jiang Gong!"
Without any greetings or questions, Zhang Qi coldly ordered, flying arrows from all directions were fired at the 50,000 Lingzhou Navy who had mistakenly fallen into an ambush.
In the first wave alone, hundreds of soldiers were hit by arrows and fell into the river.
Zuo Shiren had a serious face, and there was no trace of panic on his face.
"Putting fighting ships first, let these Cangzhou people see the plows of our Lingzhou Navy!"
The wind was not going smoothly. Following the order flag, many boatmen on the Lingzhou battleships exerted all their strength, turned red in the face, and rowed their oars crazily. For a time, hundreds of Lingzhou battleships rushed forward crazily.
.
"Throw the bow!"
"Speed start stick——"
…
Standing on the bank of the river, Xu Mu was a little stunned when he heard the information coming from him.
"A fight started?"
"Indeed. I heard that it was Zhang Qi, the veteran general from Cangzhou, who personally led 40,000 navy troops to intercept them halfway."
"Surname Zhang?"
"The leader of the Four Eagles, the father of Zhang Shun. He is also the first aristocratic family in Cangzhou." Dongfang Jing explained.
"It's interesting. The good tricks Su Yaonv used are able to trick these people into applause."
If this witch is allowed to continue causing mischief in a daze, something else might happen. It's a pity that those royalists have spent so many years of their businessmanship in vain and allowed a woman to act like a monkey.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at Jiang Se in front of him.
"Whether both sides suffer losses or Zuo Shiren wins, it is a good thing for me in Shuzhou."
"Bo Lie, is it possible that Zhang Qi will win?"
"It's impossible." Dongfang Jing shook his head, "Unless Cangzhou can send another 50,000 naval troops. My lord, you must understand that Zuo Shiren set up his forces in Lingzhou, destroyed Wuzhou, and attacked Chuzhou, all with the navy as the leader.
.As for Zhang Qi, he is not considered a strong general. All his methods are mainly to stop Zuo Shiren."
"In the end, you will lose."
Xu Mu had no objection to Dongfang Jing's inference. If Zuo Shiren was really an ordinary hypocrite, how could he come to this land of three states?
"Over at Muyun Prefecture, the sentinels sent out have also collected the news. Zhang Shunjie has laid a rope across the river. I estimate that there will be a lot of fireboats hidden, just waiting for my Shu Prefecture Navy to arrive.
, and immediately rushed out."
"This father and son are probably the greatest strength that Demon Empress Su can rely on."
"My lord, never underestimate your enemy."
Xu Mu shook his head, "Not really."
"By the way, Bo Lie, how about little Meng Huo?"
"We haven't crossed the mountain yet. The Anling Mountains are really not suitable for marching over the mountains. It takes too long. If you enter the mountains in advance, you will be infected with miasma if you stay in the mountains for half a month."
Xu Mu sighed.
This is also the reason why he wants to place the battlefield on Xiangjiang River.
"My Lord, it's time to go to war. Now is the best time. Zuo Shiren and the Cangzhou Navy are both involved in a fierce battle."
Xu Mu nodded.
Turning around, he looked at the Shuzhou navy, which had been prepared. There were nearly a thousand warships, which was not a lot. The only two large ships were those that had been captured by Chen Changqing.
Fortunately, the Wei family is a very good shipbuilder. During this period of time, they have built more than ten shield ships, which can be used as the first battle.
"For each ship, add three more hooks! Check the paddles, plows, and the water, food, and quivers on the warships! The captain must also wear armor. If something goes wrong, please hold a sword to kill the enemy."
"The shield ships go first, and the grain ships and baggage ships are separated for twenty miles."
"If my son, Shuzhou, falls into the river, I will respectfully send him to his death and return to the Temple of Heroes!"
"Come aboard!"
More than 40,000 Shuzhou soldiers began to bid farewell to the people on the shore and boarded the ship with great pride.
Xu Mu walked onto the main boat and put on a cloak. He was afraid that Dongfang next to him would catch the cold, so he also helped put on a cloak.
"My king has an order. We, Shuzhou's 40,000 navy troops, will send troops to Muyunzhou to flank the Qing emperor. We will kill the traitorous concubine and do justice for heaven!"
"kill!"
…
Zhang Shun rode on his horse and looked coldly at the river bank ahead. The navy of Muyunzhou was also ready. More than a dozen large ships were like giant beasts in the river, swaying in the river wind, baring their teeth and claws from time to time.
"Brother Zhang means, let me lead 30,000 navy troops myself?" Tong Du frowned and didn't think about it for a while. Logically speaking, Zhang Shun is the general of Muyun Province.
"I'm worried that the civilian thieves will come over the mountains with a large army."
"This makes no sense. The Anling Mountains are extremely dangerous and dangerous. Being able to bring thousands of people across the mountains is already the limit. What's more, many camps have been built under the mountains."
"Common thieves are always unreasonable when fighting." Zhang Shun frowned, "Brother Tong, don't worry, after my father blocked the Lingzhou Navy, it won't be long before reinforcements arrive."
Tong Du was silent for a while and did not ask again.
"I have four eagles in Cangzhou...only two eagles are left. Brother Tong, please be careful along the way."
Tong Du's face turned fierce, "Brother Zhang, please don't forget that I, Tong Du, used to love fighting river bandits the most! If the civilian thieves dare to rush over, I will ambush the fire boat and burn him until he kneels down and begs for mercy!"
"After defeating the commoner thief, my name as Tong Du will be spread throughout the world!"
"Brother Tong is domineering!" Zhang Shun was overjoyed.
"Just wait and see, I will retrieve the heads of the commoner thief and the lame military advisor! Sacrifice the heroic spirits of our two sworn brothers!"
"The commoner thief is so rebellious, I, Tong Du, will be a loyal and good man who kills and rapes!"
After just saying that, Tong Du put on a tiger cloak, put on a tiger helmet, and walked coldly towards the dock ferry.
Zhang Shun looked up.
A gust of river wind suddenly blew on him, and he felt that his body suddenly felt a little cold. This chapter has been completed!
