Fanshui, the Chen State water army blocked the waterway, finally realized that something was wrong. There seemed to be thick smoke coming from Fankou ahead, probably because the Zhou army was attacking. If they couldn't get over, it would be a little trouble.

Yes, it's just a trouble. Fankou can't be captured just by taking it. The reinforcements from Yongxing soon arrived at the Zhou army who were harassing the water camp and decided to be unable to resist it and could only board the ship and return to the river.

But there was a problem with the navy: someone deliberately wrecked the ship to block the waterway.

As the fleet was moving, several warships suddenly sank rapidly. These wrecks were located in the front of the fleet, just blocking the Fanshui Channel so that the ships behind could not move forward. In this way, the naval warships could not flow downstream from Fankou and into the river to intercept the Zhou navy.

The shipwrecks were very big, so they could not be removed in a hurry. After a while, the navy general ordered the retreat to avoid trouble. After all, it is easy to get accidents when so many ships on the Fanshui River are crowded together.

However, the order was passed back for a long time but there was no sign of loosening behind. In front of him, he leaned against the banner and shouted for a while and then he found out that several more warships behind the hall had sunk and blocked the waterway. When the news came, the naval soldiers secretly said something was wrong.

The sailors on the shipwreck had already gone ashore to disappear while the chaos was in the chaos. According to the news from behind, the sailors on the shipwreck at the end of the team were also very lucky. This was obviously premeditated.

They are the inner-comers of the Zhou army. The reason why they do this is to prevent the naval warships from entering the river. Fankou Shuizhai has a small number of warships, but they may not be the opponent of the Zhou navy opposite. The opponent uses this move at least to prevent the Wuchang naval army from entering the river, and the subsequent ships are likely to set fire.

As the saying goes, what you are afraid of is what you are. Fire and smoke suddenly lit up at the back end of the fleet. At this time, the southeast wind was blowing, and the fire at the rear end of the fleet (south end) ignited the crowded warships one by one, and the fire gradually spread northward.

Lu Xiulin's warship was located in the middle of the fleet. When he saw the fire at the tail of the team was a little bad, he began to worry and quickly organized the sailors to prepare fire-extinguishing tools such as long bamboo poles. The buckets on the ship were all filled, so he was prevented from coming.

It was not good to go out, and I was blocked in Fanshui before entering the Yangtze River≯⊥≯⊥, setting fires, and the situation looked bad.

"So this is a slight addition!" He cursed hatefully. The naval warships in Wuchang were originally moored in the river channel in Fankou, not far from the Yangtze River, but in order to prevent the Zhou army from crossing the river and setting the boats, the prefect allowed most of the warships to enter Fanhu to moor.

The waterway between Fanhu Lake and Fankou River is not short, but I am afraid of accidents halfway. In order to prevent someone from setting up obstacles on the waterway, I specially set up a watchtower along the way for the township soldiers to assist in the alert. I never thought about guarding it, but the water army had an insider.

Even if the Wuchang naval army cannot get out, the main force of the naval army in Xiakou can still control the river surface. Lu Xiulin just feels sorry for his failure to have the opportunity to drive a ship to kill the enemy and avenge him.

The situation in Fankou became more and more wrong. The warships were waiting to die here, and the morale of the soldiers began to become low from the initial rise. As the fire at the southern end of the fleet grew bigger and bigger, they began to panic.

Lu Xiulin was distracted and heard the noise of the fleet rising up. He looked up and saw a group of people appearing on the shore. Before the naval soldiers could figure out what was going on, they saw those people lit fires and shot arrows. Although the soldiers on the ship were also shooting arrows, the warship was blocked in the waterway and could not move forward and retreat. After firing several rounds of rockets, the warship still ignited sporadically.

......

In Wuchang City, the prefect Fan Liang frowned at the empty east gate. The Zhou army, who had previously guarded the east gate, removed the gate and retreated. The other party did not attack the city but sent people to stare at the city gate.

A camp has been erected on the official road outside the east gate and the scale is still expanding. A trestle was built on the riverside to the north, and a large ship was approaching to unload things.

"Mingfu, what do they want to do? Are they not in a hurry to attack the city?" asked a general, "If it weren't for siege, what would they do across the river?"

Fan Liang had more situations than his subordinates, so now he always felt something was wrong at first. The other party seemed to see through his intention to show weakness at the East Gate, so he did not take the bait. The camp outside the East Gate seemed to be preparing for a long-term siege.

Many warships that were docking before carried soldiers and advanced upstream from the shore. It seemed that they were heading towards Fankou. Then the news came from the Fankou defenders that they were besieged by the enemy and the navy warships were blocked from the Fanshui River.

Then there was no news again.

The direction of Fankou was blocked by Fanshan and could not be seen. Outside the city was the Zhou army's cavalry, so the provoy on his side could not be too far from the city. The sentry tower outside the west suburbs of the city had been pulled out and could not convey the message.

Fan Shanshu, the only one who can effectively contact the west, has not been moved. This should be good news, but Fan Liang is always a little uneasy. Wuchang City Defense is now solid and it will be fine if it lasts until reinforcements come, so it depends on when the reinforcements will arrive.

Yongxing is not far from here. When the three thousand garrisons there receive the beacon fire from Fanshan Shou, they will come to reinforce. Later, there will be reinforcements from Xiakou and reinforcements from Yangxin in the east. Fan Liang is very clear about this process, so he is still calm at the moment.

It’s okay if the navy can’t enter the river, but it really doesn’t work. The same is true for the navy in Xiakou. As long as you guard Wuchang, you will definitely see reinforcements rushing to the city tomorrow or the next day.

"Mingfu, is it necessary to block the east gate?"

After hearing this, Fan Liang pondered for a moment and ordered the troops to block the east gate. Since he failed to attract the other party, the city gate that simply blocked the empty city gates to prevent people from being uneasy. As a result, the Wuchang city gates were blocked and the other party could only climb the city to attack. He was confident that he could defend for several days.

"Send an order. Collect young and strong men to open the arsenal and distribute weapons, and the soldiers guarding the city and the young and strong men to replace each other in three shifts!"

"The patrol team inspects all parts of the city. There are strictly prohibited three or more people from traveling on the streets. A curfew will be imposed tonight!"

After giving orders one after another, Fan Liang felt a little calm. It would be useless to think too much now. After all, the key to retreating to the enemy is whether he can defend Wuchang City. It doesn't matter if the reinforcements can't even be defended for these few days, it would be useless for his careful arrangements.

With the three thousand defenders in the city and the young and strong, I will make you collapse!

......

On the north bank of the Yangtze River and the southern suburbs of Xiyang City, many warships struggled to dock without fear of the rapids. They had just returned from the south bank of the Yangtze River with a full load.

Except for the navy soldiers, there were all fresh goods - prisoners. These people were Chen's Yongxing garrison, who was defeated and surrendered while rushing to Wuchang to reinforce. He thought he would be thrown in that corner and waited for the battle to find out before he knew the ending, but now the ending is here.

On the battlefield, they were tied up by the Zhou army and escorted to the riverside. They were shocked to see many warships parked there. No wonder these Zhou soldiers were able to set up an ambush halfway. They were carried by warships straight to Xiyang City in the north of the Yangtze River.

Now that they have arrived in Xiyang City, no matter what the war is, their fate has been decided. When will they be able to return to Jiangnan? God knows that Chen Jun soldiers, who were originally scared by the bloody battle, were "returned to their senses" for a period of time, now some people are thinking of running away again.

However, after they saw the situation on the shore clearly, all their thoughts were put away: Zhou army archers were looking at them with malicious intentions, and there were also several warships downstream waiting for some blind dives to escape.

Seeing that the other party was so cautious, Chen's prisoners had no intention of resisting, they got off the ship and lined up to the shore under the scolding of Zhou's army. However, they were a little surprised when they saw the scene on the scene:

On the left are many large wooden barrels, inside which seem to be...cooking cakes. On the right are piled with many wooden boards. Zhou Jun, who is like a wolf and a tiger, is guarding both sides for them to come. Under the order of escorting the soldiers, a soldier of Chen Jun was taken to the pile of wooden boards.

"Don't panic, don't be afraid!" A man shouted loudly with a paper loudspeaker, "Bring this wooden shackle first, and then bring a hot pancake to fill his stomach!"

"Don't squeeze, everyone has a share. You can have enough wooden shackles and cook cakes!!"

The Chen army soldier didn't know what was going on. First, he was ignorantly shackled by wooden shackles and then went to the left to get a pancake. He hesitantly took a bite and found nothing unusual, so he started to eat it voraciously.

If you have so many things, you have to be a full devil even if you die!

He was eating the pancake but was taken to a group of people. The group was divided into ten groups of three, two of whom were holding knives and one of them placed paper and pen. In front of him, everyone was smiling and playing with a knife in front of him. He asked who his name was, where he lived, what position he was in the army, etc., and listened to what he said and what he said was written on the paper.

"Hey, everyone doesn't think about it. You have two choices..."

The man said with a sarcastic smile that the first thing was to hang it on the city tower to make dry bacon. When the soldier Chen Jun was frightened, he almost couldn't hold the cooked cake that had not been finished with the chewy knife. Seeing the shaking knife, he was so anxious that he shook his head hard that he would not choose this.

"That's to be a coolie."

The soldier nodded vigorously and felt that he was a coolie, but he had never thought about where he was a prisoner. However, the other party said three more choices: the first is to dig sand by the river, the second is to move bricks, and the third is to dig trenches.

He thought about it and chose to choose the sand. As soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled to the side and pressed his shoulder. Then he saw a bright big scissor leaning on him and cut off his hair bun with a click. Before he could cry, he was taken to the foot of the east wall.

Looking back, my companions were all shackled by wooden shackles like me, and then took a pancake and nibbled with them and asked questions. After making records, they were taken to the group of people to ask questions. They were probably the same as the questions he was asked.

Some people were taken to him one after another, and they thought they were also selected to dig sand, and some were divided into two other places, probably to pick bricks and dig trenches. Zhou Jun seemed to have prepared the prisoners well. Looking at the pile of wooden shackles, buckets of cooked cakes, prepared questioning, and ten pairs of big scissors, he had a question in his mind:

Could it be that they had been prepared long ago and were waiting for us to be arrested and dealt with immediately?

They knew that we were going to rush from Yongxing to Wuchang, so they attacked and captured prisoners halfway and immediately took them to the north shore with the boat waiting by the river. The group of people waiting here had prepared the cooking cakes, and the wooden shackles were just to deal with us immediately?

how so!

On the city tower, Bazhou Governor Yuwen Wen was quite satisfied with the prisoner settlement work being carried out in an orderly manner below, but the Chief Ren Chong was a little amused when he looked at the scene.

"Is there any trouble to go to prison and then pull it out to do things."

"Smash while the iron is hot. These people are still in shock now. If they come back to their senses and are locked up again, they may be connected and selected again." Yuwen Wen said that, looking at Xu Shao on the side, smiling and adding: "How to use these labor depends on Xu Biezhu."

Xu Shao looked at the looming Wuchang City opposite the river and asked with some concern: "Eunuch, the war in Jiangnan is in a tight position. Should we let go of digging ditches?"

"I am responsible for fighting, digging, and commanding operations. I hope that these prisoners will be managed properly. If you don't accept the responsibility of the prisoners, you will kill those who want to die without saying nonsense."

"As for the outcome, it depends on the one over there."
