The north of Jiangling, west of Hanjin, and the boundary of Wuning, marched southward to reinforce the Wei army in Jiangling, and was attacked here.

The Liang general who was in charge of the ambush was Wang Lin who was ordered to help the war. When he saw his subordinates successfully ambushed, he asked someone to beat the drum and the whole army attacked.

On the side, Liang Sen, who was fighting in concert, wanted to speak but stopped, but he still let the drum officer beat the drums, and all the ambushing soldiers came out, chasing the Wei soldiers who fled in panic.

Wang Lin noticed that Liang Sen was thinking, so she asked, "Liang Lang thinks it's inappropriate?"

"They were defeated so simply, and I think there must be ambushing behind them."

"Ambushes? No, right?" Wang Lin frowned and looked at Peng Jun beside him: "Peng Lang thought?"

Peng Jun did not think that the Wei army would have ambushing troops, but since Liang Sen said that, he could not question Liang Sen.

"So, I have no evidence to prove that they have ambush."

Liang Sen said slowly, "However, the Wei army guarding Xiangzhou should have the responsibility to support Jiangling, so it should not be a weak soldier who was about to collapse."

"Our army has already gone to Jiangling, and before, it surrounded Jiangling and rushed south to assist the Wei army. Even if they know that Jiangling has changed its ownership, they should not be defeated in just one touch."

"So..." Wang Lin hesitated a little. He was eager to make contributions. Now it seems that it is indeed inappropriate to pursue him with all his might.

"However, since you have ordered a pursuit, you cannot immediately order the withdrawal, otherwise the soldiers will be at a loss and become a mess, making it easier for the enemy to take advantage of it."

After Liang Sen finished speaking, he gave a suggestion: "Why not, let's make a blacksmith."

"Impulse?" Wang Lin became interested, and Liang Sen replied: "Please ask Wang Lang's troops to be anvil, and Peng Lang and I are hammers."

"We lead the cavalry to detour from the flanks. If there is a real ambush in a while, please ask Wang Lang to hold on for a while."

"Okay, one word is certain!"

After Wang Lin finished speaking, he immediately led his subordinates to attack, while Liang Sen and Peng Jun acted as planned.

Jiangling has been recovered. Now the official army is advancing on land and water, and is heading north to attack Xiangyang, with land as the main attack, and we must attack the city of Xiangyang as soon as possible.

The waterway mainly transports a large number of stones required for siege siege siege siege siege to ensure that after the siege siege siege siege siege, you can shoot stones to siege the city continuously.

Now, Wang Lin's troops are the vanguards, and Li Li sent Liang Sen and Peng Jun to help the battle and warmed up.

Fight with a small group of Wei cavalry to prepare for the tough battles that might be fought later.

Liang Sen and Peng Jun discussed the tactics and attacked immediately.

Sure enough, after Wang Lin's troops chased for several miles, the formation gradually became dispersed. Suddenly, horns rang behind the hills on both sides of the road, arrows were like rain, and a large number of Wei soldiers flocked out.

Wang Lin, who was on the battlefield, asked his subordinates to raise a big flag and ordered his subordinates to gather together. The already prepared Liang soldiers quickly used the big flag as the core to shrink into a circular formation and defend on the spot.

Wang Lin made friends with heroes on weekdays, and all the soldiers of the army were willing to go through fire and water for him. Although he was trapped in a heavy siege, he heard Wang Lin shouting "Fight to death and never retreat!" Soon his morale rose and he started a hand-to-hand fight with the Wei soldiers who rushed up.

Most of them are bandits in the Jianghuai River. They usually lick blood from the knife and are not afraid of life. They face the large number of enemy soldiers, without fear, and they do not decide the winner for a while, and the battle situation is in a stalemate.

But he was surrounded and could not break through.

Wang Lin calmly commanded the defense, and the surrounding Wei soldiers surrounded him more and more. He fought for half an hour without paying attention. However, the said detour cavalry disappeared.

He did not think that Liang Sen and Peng would throw away friendly forces. He remembered what Liang Sen said, "hold on for a while" and decided to fight to the end no matter what.

After a while, dust was flying in the north. The Liang army soldiers thought it was their reinforcements coming over, and were overjoyed, but the Wei cavalry came.

The Wei soldiers besieged the round formation retreated and took a break. The Wei cavalry heading south divided the left and right, surrounded the Liang army's round formation and cavalry shooting. The Liang army's casualties gradually increased, but they gritted their teeth and held on.

He also tried to send elite troops to attack, but the Wei cavalry immediately dispersed. The elite troops who attacked did not dare to leave too far, so he had to retreat. The Wei cavalry then gathered over and kept harassing him.

More than half an hour later, the Wei cavalry dispersed, and the infantry who had rested had rushed over again, and continued to fight with the tired and thirsty Liang army.

Seeing the situation of the war turning sharply, Wang Lin was a little anxious, but now that things have come to this, he can only hold on.

After a moment, the north was dusty again. Wang Lin looked carefully and almost shouted: It was the cavalry of his side who came over!

The Liang cavalry suddenly appeared from behind caught the Wei army off guard. Liang Sen led his subordinates to rush straight to the Wei infantry who besieged the round formation and quickly defeated him.

The Wei cavalry who were resting rushed to fight, but was defeated by Peng Jun's troops. The situation on the battlefield changed instantly. Wang Lin's subordinates, who were full of anger, immediately launched a charge.

The inside and outside attacked, and the infantry and cavalry joined forces to fight, and the Liang army quickly defeated the Wei army.

The Wei cavalry fled north one after another, but were knocked down one by one by the tripping horse ropes set up on the road. Seeing that the infantry could not escape, they could only stop their minds and kneel down to surrender.

After a big battle, Wang Lin looked at the messy battlefield, then looked at Liang Sen who was covered in blood, dismounted and walked towards him, and laughed and scolded:

"Next time to change, you will make anvil and we will make hammers!"

"Okay!" Liang Sen also smiled.

......

On the Han River, the Wei army's boat troops, who were in the upper reaches, released the fire ships, and the fire ships went downstream and rushed towards the Liang army warships downstream.

There were many fire ships, all over the river, and there was no way to hide, and Liang army warships retreated one after another.

Some ships that were unable to retreat were ignited by fire ships, and the soldiers on the ship had to jump into the water to escape.

The fire ships were chasing the Liang army and were stranded from time to time. The Wei army warships followed behind slowly and released new fire ships from time to time.

As we fled and chased, several miles had passed. The Wei army warships were planning to return, but on both sides of the river bank that had just passed, many people suddenly emerged from the reeds.

These people carried bamboo rafts one by one and ran to the river, allowing a large number of bamboo rafts to enter the water, and then shot out fire arrows and ignited the bamboo rafts.

There were many flammable objects on the bamboo rafts, and a raging fire soon ignited and drifted downstream along the river toward the Wei army fleet.

The Wei army warships that were in danger of advancing and retreating were in chaos. Many ships were burned down while hiding away. Then, the Liang army warships that were heading upstream again arrived.

The former Pengli Lake water bandits are now the sporting officers of the government. They drove warships into the chaotic Wei army fleet and began a melee.

First throw a round of harpoons, fishing nets, then quicklime paste, and then jump to the gang and fight hand-to-hand combat.

The archers who were looking at the nest at the top of the mast shot and killed the enemy soldiers from a high position. They jumped into the gang battle in a simple and rough manner. Soon the Wei army's boat division that was temporarily pieced together suffered heavy casualties, and many people surrendered.

In the rear, Li Li watched the battle on the ship throughout the whole process, and felt amused and laughed at his typical "water bandit robbery" tactic.

"The Navy of the Official Army may not be able to cooperate like this."

Wu Xiang quickly explained that he was responsible for the on-site command and was considered a navy general. "After all, you must escape as if you are decent and not in chaos."

Li Li smiled: "The friendly troops of the ambushing and setting fire boats on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are Wang Lang's subordinates. I think most of them are from heroes in the martial arts world."

"Ahem, I think this kind of playing style is everywhere." Wu Xiang felt a little embarrassed.

The former Pengli Lake water bandits have already changed their minds. When they went on the expedition, many people took the initiative to fight with the army and wanted to make a difference.

This is how their subordinates are. Wang Lin, who fought together, also has many heroes from the world.

Everyone is a water bandit, so it is easy to engage in this kind of ambush. Now they fight together and cooperate with each other to annihilate the naval army pieced together by Wei. This is the former water bandits who have made contributions and proved their great victory.

Next, above the Han River, the warships of the official army could be rampant.

By then, the Wei army on the north bank of the Han River would not be so easy to cross the river and go south, and support the Wei army on the south bank of Xiangyang in a short period of time.

Li Li looked at the battlefield where the winner had already been decided and nodded: "It's great, the waterway is smooth, and the stones can be transported directly to the city of Xiangyang."

This attack was to recover Jing and Xiang, and Wu Xiang were quite excited about this. Although the official army had defeated wars everywhere before, Li Li believed that many middle-aged and young generals would not be convinced.

There were not many generals in the Liang army who dared to fight and could fight, but their strength was lost in internal strife due to various reasons.

Now, as long as there is a chance to let these generals display their abilities, Liang Jun still has good combat effectiveness.

Before, Li Li advised him, asking the emperor to give the young and middle-aged generals the opportunity to fight as much as possible, and not to stick to the "hundred-matched generals".

Most of these "father generals" are sloppy, and many of them are more capable than their ability to fight wars. They pursue "perception and self-protection", like to preserve their strength, and often work but not work during wars.

Not only that, I also like to sell my teammates at critical moments.

On the contrary, many young and middle-aged generals with little reputation have strong ambitions and are willing to charge forward and fight tough battles, and exchange their outstanding military achievements for future prospects.

Therefore, this time, a large number of young generals led their troops to participate in the war, such as them, Wang Lin, etc.

As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. They have made complete preparations, but there is no reason to be afraid of Wei.

The young generals with strong qi and blood dare to fight, fight, and fight to the death. Everyone wants to make military achievements, promote, and win a wife and son, so they have a strong desire to fight.

The enterprising spirit is not comparable to those slick "old generals" who are so angry that they are.

"Li Lang, it is said that the defense of Xiangyang is quite strong. Can the catapult really snatch Xiangyang before the Wei army's large-scale reinforcements?"

"Of course, as long as the stones are enough, there is no need to chew the city wall anyway. Just smash the enemy building and arrow tower and smash the city head."

Li Li said and laughed: "You know, we have prepared so many stones just for Xiangyang and Fancheng!"

Seeing that the left and right were far away, Wu Xiang asked in a low voice: "Uh... we spent so much money to buy stones, aren't it a bit too stupid?"

"Silly?" Li Li narrowed his eyes, "A trencher is like a bow. It requires a projectile to cause damage. The projectile of the trencher can be stones, flammable objects and corpses..."

"Corpsy?" Wu Xiang felt strange. Li Li was shocked and said he was letting go, so he quickly returned: "I said it wrong, cough cough."

"The most direct thing to destroying city defense is to shoot large stones, but what if there is no stone around the city? Even if there is, temporary mining will take a lot of time."

"If the quarry is harvested, the transportation speed cannot keep up with the consumption of ejection, the power of the trencher will be greatly reduced, which is just like archery."

"So it's best to prepare in advance, stock up on a large number of stones and transport them by water so that you can achieve a fast attack."

"Time is worth every inch. This is called spending money to buy time. Isn't it fast to buy spot goods from the quarry? If the people are recruited to open mountains and quarry, they have to collect enough stones, and it will take a few months."

"When the rainy season comes, it will be troublesome to attack the city, and you will have to block the enemy reinforcements, so the battle will not be easy to fight."

"Besides, we are attacking Xiangyang and Fancheng. Have you forgotten the story of Guan Yun flooding the Seven Armies?"
