The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

You know, Liu Zheng's most powerful men are not the cavalry, but the navy.

In addition to a part of the navy that is in charge of shipping, Liu Zheng also has two powerful sailors under his command.

One of them is Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin who are currently stationed in Kyushu Island.

They have been stationed overseas and rarely return to Dahan.

But another navy that is active in Dahan.

It is Zu Lang who is now near Jingzhou, with nearly [-] soldiers and horses under his command.

Thousands of warships, large and small.

After Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others left, Zu Lang was the real boss in the entire Great Han Waters.

In the past few years, Zu Lang has no rivals in the waters.

This is the first time that they have encountered a real naval opponent.

Although it's just a few crooked melons and dates.

However, it also aroused Zu Lang's great interest.

"There are still people who are not afraid of death and dare to come to us on the water! Let's go, take this general to see!"

Originally, Zu Lang was not interested in such a trivial matter.

Just let his deputy Pan Lin go over and solve it.

But it is precisely because I am more interested in the concept of the enemy's navy.

He decided to go and see for himself.

Following Zu Lang's order, dozens of warships were soon separated from the water army surrounding Fancheng, and headed for Xinye in a mighty manner.

Before the warship sailed far, it encountered the first wave of ships dispatched by Liu Bei.

It's just some ships that have been put together in a mess, and there is no formal concept of unity at all.

The front and back are crowded together, and there are a few sailors in official uniforms scattered on it.

Seeing such an opponent, Zu Lang immediately laughed out loud after seeing the appearance of the enemy army.

"Hahaha, does this deserve to be called a navy?"

"I really thought Liu Bei could put together such a powerful team in such a short period of time. It turned out that he was just a bunch of mobs?"

"Come on, go and wipe out this mob!"

With a casual word from Zu Lang, he attracted several warships to charge forward.

Immediately, several warships carrying hundreds of people rushed forward quickly.

It took only a few breaths to approach Liu Bei's fleet.

Before getting close to these ships, the assembled heavy crossbows on the warships began to be pulled.

As the bowstring of the heavy crossbow was slowly pulled up, there was a whoosh at the next moment.

The arrow as thick as the arm was shot out.

In the next moment, it quickly turned into an afterimage and hit the deck of the enemy ship, making a loud bang.

Immediately, several decks were shattered.

Even those with stronger lethality directly shot the small broken ship to pieces.

The sailors sent by Jian Yong were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

They didn't have any thoughts of resistance at all.

Faced with this situation, the only result is to escape.

"Run away, the enemy is coming!"

"Too strong, the opponent's ship is equipped with weapons, we are not opponents at all!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

For a while, these Liu Beijun's navy immediately fell apart and fled back.

However, the ships in their hands were all small ships, and their speed was never as fast as the big ships under Zu Lang's command.

Besides, if they want to escape, they have to turn around.

It's a lot slower to come and go.

Soon he was chased by Zu Lang's soldiers and horses.

Another round of heavy crossbow shooting.

After the second heavy crossbow shot, the original dozens of enemy ships suddenly lost more than half of them.

Liu Bei's navy, which was already demoralized, was even more demoralized at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, they scattered into a group and only cared about running away.

But Zu Lang didn't intend to let them escape so easily, he immediately dispatched several assault boats to cut off their escape route.

Several small boats rowed forward quickly, blocking their retreat.

Then Zu Lang gave the order to kill all of them.

In a short while, these dozens of miscellaneous fleets were sunk.

Soon all were killed.

Only some sailors who knew some water skills were left, and they were still on the water, yelling for help.

Seeing this, Zu Lang is not an inhuman guy.

He quickly ordered that the sailors under his command salvage the survivors onto the boat.

But even if it is salvaged, not many people can be salvaged.

Because the number of sailors under Liu Bei was small, it was improvised. He just found some soldiers who knew water skills and temporarily acted as rescuers for the sailors.

Because of this, there were not many of these people, and there were already a lot of casualties after the rounds of shooting just now.

There are only three or forty people who are still alive.

And these three 40 people were all captured alive by Zu Lang and brought aboard, and quickly escorted back to Xiangyang.

After all, these people are captives, and some enemy intelligence can be obtained from them.

Still have some use value.

So Zu Lang sent his contribution to Xiangyang along with these captives and handed it over to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng is still drinking with Ma Teng and his son.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, he hurriedly got up, said goodbye to Ma Teng and his son and left, and then approached the captives again.

Guo Jia has already interrogated these captives.

Basically all the news that can be found out has been dug out.

So he hurried over to meet Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I have already interrogated those captives. They are all ordinary soldiers who don't have much information, but I still have some useful information."

When Guo Jia saw Liu Zheng coming, he immediately spoke to Liu Zheng.

This made Liu Zheng interested.

"Feng Xiao, tell me what information these people have."

"Didn't our spies send the news that some of Liu Bei's soldiers left Fancheng and went east? Now we know that they went to Runan by surprise."

The first news that came out of Guo Jia's mouth shocked Liu Zheng's face.

The news is quite normal.

Because Liu Zheng already knew before that there were tens of thousands of cavalry under Liu Bei, and they were not stationed near Fancheng for the time being.

It's just that he didn't know the whereabouts of these cavalry.

Later, after the flooding of Fancheng, there were no traces of these cavalry.

Liu Zheng originally wanted to find out the whereabouts of Liu Bei's cavalry through Ma Teng.

But asking Ma Teng to betray Liu Bei is a bit inhumane.

Originally Liu Zheng was still puzzled, but now he actually learned the news from these prisoners.

"A surprise attack on Runan?"

"No, Runan is in danger!"

Liu Zheng realized the danger.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although there are soldiers and horses stationed in Runan County, there are not many soldiers and horses stationed here.

Liu Chong's men were only [-] to [-] soldiers at full strength, and these soldiers needed to allocate a large number of people to defend Zhang Fei.

There will never be more than 1 soldiers and horses who can stay in Runan to garrison.

With this little manpower, he wanted to block Guan Yu and led [-] cavalry to attack.

It's just a little whimsical.

A little carelessness can't even stop it for three days.

That's why Liu Zheng was so worried.

Although the battle in Jingzhou has already settled down, Liu Bei is unlikely to make any more waves, but the battle in Yuzhou on the other side may be a new point of tension.

"My lord, this is exactly what I was worried about before. We are no longer in any danger in the Jingzhou battlefield, but there is trouble in Yuzhou again."

It was precisely because Guo Jia knew about this that he ran over now and asked Liu Zheng to discuss the situation on the Yuzhou battlefield.

"Right now we don't know what's going on in Yuzhou, but if we think about the detailed work over there, it should pass on information to us soon."

Liu Zheng frowned and said slowly.

"Even if we don't know the situation over there, we still have to send people to help."

"That's right, we still need to send some soldiers and horses over for the time being."

"How about this, Tai Shici and General Gan Ning continue to guard Jingzhou, let old general Huang Zhong lead the [-] archers under his command, and Huang Gai lead the people left behind by Sun Jian to support Yuzhou."

"Tell Huang Zhong, let them not be impatient, go to Anfeng County first, wait for the information about Runan to be found, and then lead the troops northward."

"When I came to Jingzhou before, I asked Sun Ce to lead an army of [-] to station in Anfeng."

"If Huang Zhong's men can join up with Sun Ce, they will have [-] troops, so there will be no problems."

Liu Zheng quickly arranged for the next military transfer.

Guo Jia nodded after hearing Liu Zheng's arrangement.

I have no opinion on Liu Zheng's arrangement.

As long as he can protect the soldiers and horses on the Yuzhou battlefield, Guo Jia is not in a hurry.

They don't want to win this battle, but as long as they can hold on and delay the time, Liu Zheng can take the lead.

After all, the lack of food under Liu Bei's army is obvious. It only needs to be delayed for two months, and Liu Bei can't afford to withdraw his troops without them taking the initiative to attack.

Guo Jia was planning to go down to convey Liu Zheng's order, but Liu Zheng remembered something again.

"By the way, Feng Xiao, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to attack Runan, and he definitely won't let Zhang Fei in Yanzhou do nothing. I guess Zhang Fei is also ready to confront Liu Chong at the border at the moment, so Zhou Yu should not be idle. gone."

"Since it's a decisive battle between the two armies, let the new troops he just recruited also join in the fun."

"Directly let Zhou Yu go from Xuzhou to the border of Yanzhou to harass Zhang Fei. We don't expect Zhou Yu to eliminate Zhang Fei, but we must put pressure on Zhang Fei and reduce the pressure on Yuzhou."

Liu Zheng couldn't personally go to Yuzhou to help them fight Liu Bei at this moment, but in order to give them a better chance of winning, Liu Zheng had already dispatched all the troops he could mobilize here.

Don't ask them to defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop, just hope they can hold on.

In this way, I waited for a few days.

The situation on the battlefield in Yuzhou finally reached Liu Zheng.
