Standing on the bow of the ship with 50,000 navy troops, Zuo Shiren just wanted to curse.
We have just passed the Chuzhou River section, less than a hundred miles away from the river surface. Then he saw an old general, who also had tens of thousands of Cangzhou navy troops, blocking him tightly.
Logically speaking, such a large Cangzhou Navy should go to Muyun State to provide reinforcements. Moreover, he was already very careful. He heard that the war was raging in Muyun State, so he went out to fight.
But unexpectedly, he was blocked by someone. It can even be said that he fell into an ambush by the Cangzhou Army.
On the boat on the opposite side of the building, Zhang Qi also looked bad. He was previously asked to bring 30,000 people to the aid of Muyun State. It's a good thing now. Orders are changed day and night, and we have to rush back all of a sudden, sailing down the river to intercept the Lingzhou Navy.
"Stop the boat!" Zhang Qi gritted his teeth. He was angry not only with the enemy troops in front of him. It was even more because of his own stupidity that after being concealed by the traitorous concubine, he took advantage of it again.
"Jiang Gong!"
Without any greetings or questions, Zhang Qi coldly ordered, and 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 calm face, and there was no trace of panic on his face.
"Putting fighting ships first, let these Cangzhou people take a look at the plows of our Lingzhou Navy!"
Not a tailwind. Following the order flag, many boatmen on the Lingzhou battleship exerted their strength, turned red in the face, and rowed the oars frantically. For a time, hundreds of fighting ships in Lingzhou charged 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 misfortune, something else might happen. It's a pity that those royalist gangs have lost so many years of profiteering skills 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."
"Bolie, 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. . And Zhang Qi 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 is really an ordinary hypocrite, why would he come to this land of three states?
"Over at Muyun Prefecture, the sentinels sent out have also collected the news. Zhang Shunjie River has laid a rope across the river. I estimate that there will be many 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, "No."
"By the way, Bo Lie, how's it going with 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 who was ready. There are nearly a thousand warships, which is not a lot. The only two large ships were captured by Chen Changqing.
Fortunately, the Wei family is a very good shipbuilder. During this period, 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 racket pole, the plow, and the water, food, and quivers on the warship! The boat master must also wear armor. If something goes wrong, please hold a sword to kill the enemy."
"The shield ship goes first, and the grain ship and baggage ship 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 majestically.
Xu Mu walked onto the main boat and tied on a cloak. I was afraid that Dongfang next to me would catch a cold, so I helped him put on one too.
"My king has an order. We, Shuzhou's 40,000 navy troops, will send troops to Muyunzhou, flank the Qing emperor, kill the adulterous concubine, and do justice for heaven!"
"kill!"
…
Zhang Shun rode his horse and looked coldly at the river bank ahead. The navy of Muyun State is also ready. More than a dozen buildings and boats were like giant beasts in the river, swaying in the river wind and showing their teeth and claws from time to time.
"Brother Zhang, you want me to personally lead 30,000 navy troops?" Tong Du frowned and didn't think about it for a while. Logically speaking, Zhang Shun is the general of Muyun State.
"I'm worried that the civilian thieves will lead a large army and come over the mountains."
"This makes no sense. The Anling Mountains are extremely 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 come rushing in."
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, don't forget that I, Tong Du, loved fighting river bandits in the past! If the common thieves dare to rush over, they will ambush the fire boat and burn him until he kneels down and begs for mercy!"
"If you defeat 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 common thief and the lame military advisor! Sacrifice the heroic spirits of our two sworn brothers!"
"The commoner thief is treasonous, I, Tong Du, will be a loyal and good man who kills and rapes!"
After just saying that, Tong Du put on a tiger-shaped 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.
