Han army water stronghold.
“Dong dong dong!!!”
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The drums beat loudly and the trumpets sounded long and loud. Countless officers first dressed themselves neatly, and then urged the navy soldiers to get out of the camp and board the warship.
Groups of soldiers, either wearing heavy armor or wearing battle jackets, armed with spears, swords, bows, crossbows, etc., boarded the warship.
After the whole army boarded the ship, Li Qiang boarded the flagship, turned to the flag bearer and said: "Open the gate of the water village."
The flag bearer waved the flag. The soldiers guarding the gate opened the gate of the water village.
The warships of the Han army sailed out from the gate one by one, first formed a formation, and then headed towards the Chu army's water stronghold on the west bank.
Wu Nian, surrounded by the imperial guards and ministers, climbed onto the wall of the village to watch the battle, with anticipation in his eyes.
Li Shangdao, don't be a coward.
Li Qiang led the Han navy to the front of the Chu army's water stronghold, ordered the army to stop advancing, and ordered the flagship to sail out alone and reach the bottom of the water stronghold.
The shield bearer stood in front, and Li Qiang stood behind the shield bearer, shouting towards the Chu army's water stronghold: "Li Gaofeng, listen. I am General Li Qiang. We have been facing each other for many days. I can't wait to chop off his head. I I believe he also wants to chop off my head.”
"Today is a good day. I am recruiting troops to challenge him. Does he dare to fight?"
Li Qiang's voice was extremely strong, and even if the river wind interfered, it was clearly conveyed to Chu Jun's ears. The Chu army officer didn't say anything and simply sent someone to tell Li Gao Gao.
Li Gao Gao got the news and led some generals to the wall of the stronghold. He spoke condescendingly to Li Qiang: "General Li, you don't need to provoke me. Although I have many sailors, the Han army has tens of thousands of infantry and horsemen. How can I Maybe I can come out of the water village and have a fight with you?"
"If you really want a big battle, let the Han army and horse infantry return to Taiyuan. Then we will each drive a warship and use the navy to decide the winner."
Of course, Li Qiang couldn't agree. He put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "Li Gaofeng. If you want to fight, fight. If you find excuses, you are not a hero. People will look down on you for nothing."
Immediately afterwards, he insulted again: "Li Gaofeng. Aren't you known as the General of the Knights? When you reach the Yellow River, will you become a tortoise?"
"I think you might as well change your name and call him General Turtle."
"Hahaha!!!!"
The soldiers under Li Qiang's command laughed out loud in cooperation.
On the wall of the village. The generals and soldiers beside Li Gao Gao were furious.
"General. The Han army's water force came out in full force, only five thousand households. We have the advantage in numbers. What's more, we are not bad at water warfare. Please give the order, general, let us attack and defeat Li Qiang. Behead him and come back. , dedicated to the general."
"Yes, General. This guy is so arrogant, I really can't bear it in one breath."
"General."
The generals clasped their fists and asked for battle.
Li Gaofeng was calm, waved his hands to the generals, and then said loudly to Li Qiang: "General Li, why don't you try another method to provoke the generals?"
"What's wrong with Turtle? Have you forgotten that our Chang'an General, General Lu, is also called Turtle? I just made a turtle with a shrunken head to show you. How do you feel about it?"
After that, Li Gao Gao ordered the crossbowman: "Shoot him."
“Whoosh whoosh!!!!”
The crossbowman either pulled the trigger or released the bowstring, and the black arrows roared towards Li Qiang.
"Ding ding ding!!!" The powerful and heavy arrow was blocked by the shield soldier. But the situation is still quite dangerous.
"Coward." Li Qiang raised his hand and cursed. An arrow grazed his face.
"General, withdraw your troops. It's too dangerous here." A soldier came forward to advise.
"Withdraw troops." Li Qiang had no choice but to stamp his right foot and order the withdrawal. There is no need for the warship to turn around, it can just go back as it came.
"Hahaha!!!!" Li Gao Gao pinched his beard on the wall of Chu Junzhai and laughed.
"If you want to seize my dragon gate, you can do it in the next life." After that, Li Gaofeng waved his hand and ordered: "Let's go back. Let's go back and continue to eat mutton soup."
"It's too cold here."
"Yes." The generals were very reluctant, but they had no choice but to respond and follow closely.
Han army water stronghold.
On the wall of the village. Wu Nian saw everything in his eyes and turned to Hojo Masaru: "The worst situation has occurred. Li Gao Gao is determined to be a turtle."
"It's difficult." Hojo Umasa nodded and looked up to the other side.
The Longmen Ferry was very large, but the Chu army's water fortress was also very large, almost occupying the foothold on the other side. There is only a little fragment of land left, which is impossible to stand on.
The Han army bypassed the Chu army's water stronghold and sent some soldiers and baggage there. It is impossible to attack the Chu army's water stronghold from land.
Lu Jing, Li Gaofeng and others were indeed difficult to deal with.
"Now we can only watch General Zhang encircle the point and call for reinforcements. It's just that General Zhang has a little less troops and horses crossing the river. I don't know if it can play a big role."
Hojo Ushimasa withdrew his gaze and said to Wu Nian.
"If he can't play a big role, then I will be in big trouble." Wu Nian shook his head and said.
By building a plank road to cross Chencang secretly, you can deceive the Chu court for a while. It will be difficult for the Chu court to react and gather reinforcements, baggage and new troops in Guanzhong.
Wu Nian watched for a while, then turned around and led everyone back to the shore.
Soon after, Li Qiang led the naval warships back. As soon as the warship docked, he led five thousand households to Wu Nian, knelt down on one knee, and apologized: "I failed to make meritorious deeds, please punish me."
Wu Nian smiled and helped him up, saying, "General Li is not only innocent, but also meritorious."
"Then Li Gaofeng has become a coward. Hahaha."
Wu Nian laughed loudly, then pulled Li Qiang and headed towards the Chinese army's tent. A banquet was held to celebrate Li Qiang and others.
Putting aside the credit, there is still hard work.
It is not easy to lead the naval warships out into battle and back and forth.
Longmen Ferry. Wu Nian had no plan for a while, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
.........
Chang'an City.
Chang'an General Military Office, in the study room of the Houyamen. Lu Jing sat behind the desk, crossed his legs, and read a strange novel with gusto.
Suddenly. An officer under his command broke in from the outside and said in panic: "General. General Li from Longmen Ferry came with news. The Han army suddenly appeared in Shanxi, and the horse infantry was in large numbers."
Lu Jing looked calm, slowly closed the novel, and said, "Why are you panicking? Didn't I tell you earlier?"
"Opportunities are for those who are prepared."
"I never let up."
"Instruct the garrison at Puzhou Ferry to stay put. Order 10,000 elite soldiers from Chang'an to follow me to support Longmen Ferry."
After saying that, Lu Jing slowly stood up.
"Yes." Seeing Lu Jing's calmness, the subordinate officer immediately boosted his morale, responded loudly, turned around and walked out.
