The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 394

The 2 troops led by Han Xuan were drawn from Xiangyang and Gong'an counties, among which [-] were the elite guarding Xiangyang, and the other [-] were ordinary troops stationed in the west of Jingzhou. It took Han Xuan a lot of time to cross the Yangtze River to the east.

It has been more than a month since Yue Fei entered Huainan County, and Han Xuan just arrived at Xiakou, ready to cross the river.

[-] troops, although the Jiangxia water army now has a lot of warships, it will take a long time to transport all the troops, food and grass across the Yangtze River. For a whole day, Han Xuan led the army to complete the crossing of the river and came to the the other side.

The [-] troops have already crossed the ferry and reached the other side, but it is even more difficult to transport the [-] shi of grain and grass to the other side. Nearly [-] tons of grain and grass, plus the ox carts and horse carts used for transportation, are now Hundreds of warships need to be transported back and forth several times. In less than three days, it is impossible to transport these grains and grass.

But without these grains and grasses, Han Xuan could not move a single step in Huainan County. Not only Han Xuan, but even Huang Zhong’s supply depended on Jiangxia County. Before the hundred thousand stones of grains and grasses were safely transported across the Yangtze River, Han Xuan would never dare Those who left here, Xiakou generation, there are as many water thieves, and this was once Liu Xiao's territory, who knows if Liu Xiao has the power to stay?When Liu Xiao asked Zhuge Liang to come out, he was facing tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers and broke through the siege. This was not only due to the fact that Liu Xiao and Zhao Yunyong won the three armies, but more importantly, there were a large number of hidden Liu Xiao forces everywhere. Responding, just along the way, turned the danger into a breeze.

God only knows if there are Liu Xiao's hidden troops in the surrounding area, so it's better to be careful.

What Han Xuan was afraid of was that Liu Xiao sent people to attack his grain transportation team on land, but he didn't expect that something happened to the grain and grass on the Yangtze River.

Hundreds of warships gathered at the ferry of the Yangtze River to transport grain and grass day and night. There was no problem during the day. Han Xuan was eager to transport grain and grass, and he did not stop at night and continued to transport to the opposite bank.

As a result, under the darkness of night, a small fleet sneaked in from afar.

The fleet of small boats went straight down the current, and there were more than a dozen or twenty dead men on each boat. Twenty or thirty small boats lined up on the Yangtze River. fleet!

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the Jingzhou navy fleet. When the Jingzhou navy found out, the small fleet was less than [-] steps away from the navy!
"Look, general, there are dozens of ships on the river to the south!"

A pawn cried out in surprise.

The navy general Lu Zhi was startled, and looked in the direction of the pawn's finger. Sure enough, more than 20 small boats were rushing towards his fleet at a fast speed!

"Send the order, immediately mobilize the archers, open the bow and release the arrows, and prevent the fleet from approaching!"

Lu Zhi shouted loudly.

Following Lu Zhi's order, teams of archers were mobilized, but before the archers were in place, more than 20 small boats had already arrived, less than a hundred steps away!

"Chucky!"

On the small boat, the elite soldiers stood up one by one, and began to shoot arrows at the warships of the Jingzhou Navy.

It's all rockets!

More than 20 ships gathered more than [-] archers. Except for rockets and brimstone gunpowder, there was nothing else on board. Obviously, they came prepared!

In an instant, rockets roared and landed on the warship.

Nowadays, there are piles and piles on the warships, either grain or horse fodder. Now it is the cold winter of March and September, and the sky is dry. These horse fodder will catch fire when they see the fire. The warship was on fire!

Lu Zhi was terrified, and shouted anxiously: "Command, hurry up, release the arrows, release the arrows, gather all the archers, release the arrows for me, and shoot all the enemy troops on the opposite side to death!"

Lu Zhi is not a fool, if he is just a water thief, he would never dare to hijack the Jingzhou navy so blatantly. You must know that he is leading hundreds of warships, and the navy has two to 3000 people. How can ordinary water thieves do anything? What's the deal?Look at the people on these ships, they are definitely elite soldiers, each of them is holding rockets and shooting arrows with all their strength, and only the army has such powerful equipment. Ordinary water thieves may have a strong bow and so many rockets?

However, these 500 people were all dead men who were secretly deployed in Jiangxia County by Zhou Yu at the beginning. After Liu Xiao went to Jingzhou, these people gradually withdrew from Jiangxia County, and all of them lurked along the Yangtze River. The vast Yangtze River became their hiding place. Today, all the lands have emerged, just to avenge the one-shot revenge of the year, and they all went all out.

In less than half an hour, more than [-] people fired more than [-] rockets at the Jingzhou navy, and at least [-] or [-] warships were on fire.

Lu Zhi was overwhelmed with shock. The enemy troops in front of him were really desperate. Under the attack of his archers, at least hundreds of people had been shot into the water by him, but these people were still not behind. Withdraw, shoot arrows desperately, if they let them rush into the fleet like this, hundreds of warships of their own will be destroyed here!

"Order, all the dozen or so warships on the southernmost side will hit me, hit them, and sink these small boats!"

Lu Zhi yelled sharply, "The rest of the ships, move forward at full speed and go to the ferry!"

As long as they get to the ferry, there will be an army of [-] on the shore. When the time comes, all arrows will be fired. Even if these ships are not sunk here, they will be shot down at the ferry!
More than a dozen large ships are now on fire, each of which has hundreds of stones of grain and grass. Once the fire starts, unless there is heavy rain, otherwise, it is impossible to put out the fire only by manpower. Now I can only give up the car to protect the handsome, more than a dozen large ships are rushing towards the southern fleet, even if they die, they have to pull a few backs!

It's just that Han Dang on the opposite side is not so stupid. Han Dang is in Jiangdong and is familiar with water warfare. If Lu Zhi wanted to sink all Han Dang's fleet, Han Dang had to agree. As the last resort, now that the fire has just begun, how can Han Dang go all out?

With Han Dang's order, dozens of large and small boats were all scattered. The so-called small boats are easy to turn around. On the Yangtze River, it is easy for a small boat to collide with a big boat, but it is difficult for a big boat to collide with a small boat.

The boat moved away from the Jingzhou warship in front, and continued to shoot arrows at the warship that was not on fire.

In a quarter of an hour, more than 100 warships were already in flames.

Feeling something bad, Lu Zhi commanded the warships that were not on fire to march towards the ferry desperately, avoiding the rocket shooting, and when they rushed to the ferry in Huainan County, Lu Zhi's Jingzhou navy only had [-] or [-] warships left. Ship, nearly half lost.

Han Xuan on the shore had been rewarded a long time ago, and had already arranged for archers to meet him on the shore. When he boarded the pier, Lu Zhi turned around and saw that the river was already covered in flames...
