Chapter 183 The Overlord of the Water

Xiakou Shuizhai, on the wooden city wall.

Countless archers looked ahead nervously, which was the direction of Shiyang. Shiyang Water Village is like Xiakou Water Pirates, both of them are half-city and half-shui Village buildings.

It was the place where Liu Biao's naval army was stationed, with only one thousand troops resident. However, there were many warships. It was a ferry where Liu Biao's infantry rushed south.

Such water villages also include Hanyang and Wulin in the north of the Yangtze River.

These places are only across the river from Xiakou. But at this moment, a huge fire was coming from the direction of Shiyang Water Village, and screams kept coming.

Countless warships of the Jiangdong Navy rushed around.

"Damn it." In the middle of the soldiers, Gan Ning, wearing armor, held the hilt of the sword tightly with his waist, and his face burst out with blue veins, gritting his teeth and spitting out two words.

I thought Jiangdong would advance along the water and land, and attack Wuchang and Xiakou at the same time, but I didn't expect that the Jiangdong people would only attack Shiyang. I'm afraid that Hanyang and Wulin would be within their targets.

Burn the ferry, burn the warships, and cut off their ties with Liu Biao.

To be honest, Gan Ning was not a man who watched the enemy rage. When the warships in Jiangdong burned Shiyang Water Village, they had the intention of going south to Hanyang, and Gan Ning could no longer bear it.

"Prepare the warship. I want to go out to save Hanyang." Gan Ning turned around and said.

"Brother Gan's family, no. The purpose of those people in Jiangdong burning Shi Yang was to burn Liu Biao's warship, but there must be a conspiracy to lure my brother to attack, then defeat our navy army, and take advantage of the situation to attack Xiakou. If my brother can't help but attack, Xiakou will be unable to protect him." Zhang Gu persuaded him after hearing this.

Just as Zhang Gu said, the current Jiangxia naval army is definitely not an opponent of the Jiangdong naval army, and there is only a dead end to attack.

"Damn it." Gan Ning shouted in a frustration, but he also became a little rational because of Zhang Gu's words. Going out to fight will definitely lead to a defeat. It doesn't matter if he loses Xiakou. If Jiang Xia loses Xia, he will be attacked from both sides.

"Go and inform the lord quickly, and say that the Jiangdong naval army has captured Shiyang and is currently heading south to Hanyang and Wulin. The Liubiao naval army water camp from Jiangxia to Jiangling is probably in danger." While recovering his rationality, Gan Ning immediately ordered.

"No." Zhang Gu responded, immediately climbed down from the rope ladder and ordered to go.

"Liu Biao's army is really weak." After giving the order to Zhang Gu, Gan Ning looked at Shi Yang with fire and cursed in his heart. Judging from the number of warships in Jiangdong, the navy should be less than 5,000.

However, Shiyang's defenders had 1,000 people. They were actually broken in just a few moments. They were really vulnerable.

The news soon spread from Xiakou to Xiling.

In the study of the prefect's palace, Liu Feng slapped the table suddenly, with a ferocious expression, "Damn it, Liu Biao wants me to resist Zhou Yu, and also wants Zhou Yu to weaken my power."

Knowing that Zhou Yu would advance, Liu Feng immediately asked Yi Ji to go to Xiangyang with official documents, and Liu Feng personally wrote a letter to Cai Mao.

I hope Liu Biao can send troops here, not many, only three thousand people will be enough. Liu Feng is also afraid that Liu Biao will have any conspiracy.

But Liu Biao dragged it for a month. The food and grass were transported 30,000 stones, and 50,000 arrows were all stationed in Xiakou.

It was obvious that he wanted to consume his troops, but also wanted to use his abilities to resist Zhou Yu.

It was nothing at all. Liu Feng planned to send someone to threaten Liu Biao in the crisis and ask him to send troops. But now Zhou Yu's actions completely disrupted his plan.

The guy actually crossed Jiangxia directly, and the navy ran rampant into Jingzhou, trying to burn down all ferries in Jiangling and prevent Liu Biao's infantry from moving south.

It made Jiangxia truly an isolated island.

It’s not that Zhou Yu would do this, but that Liu Feng did not expect Liu Biao’s navy to be so weak.

"The Lord is angry. Now is not the time to be angry. We should send someone to suppress General Gan first, so that he should not go out to war and defend the water camp. Three thousand troops, fifty thousand arrows, and 30,000 stones of food are enough to hold on until the war is over." Pang Tong stood aside, his face was very calm, and said.

"Yes." Liu Feng calmed down after hearing this, nodded, and immediately wrote a letter, ordering the soldiers to send them to Xiakou quickly.

Only four words, stick to the water village.

"I originally thought that Zhou Yu would advance by land and water. The navy broke through Xiakou, the infantry broke through Wuchang, and finally got back in Xiling. But now it seems that Zhou Yu just wanted to use infantry to decide the outcome. The navy was just to cut off our connection with Liu Biao." Liu Feng's eyes flashed with a sneer and said.

"I'm afraid not only that, he burned the ferry and warships and cut off our connection with Liu Biao, and was afraid he would have the intention of guarding against Cao Ren in the north. If Cao Ren also had his troops and took the opportunity to attack Jiangxia, without warships, Cao Ren could only fish out a few cities in the north of the Yangtze River and was unable to move south. The goal was very clear, and he only wanted Jiangxia Ban County south of the Yangtze River." Pang Tong shook his head and said.

How confident is this? With the infantry, he is proud to fight to Jiangxia.

Zhou Yu was indeed ten times harder than Huang Zu. Both the IQ and the quality of the army were much different. The navy was able to defeat Liu Biao’s three or four water camps in one day.

Both the territory south of the Yangtze River were famous for producing naval troops, but Liu Biao was so different. Jiangdong was the real overlord of the water.

"Now the war has been on the ground of Liu Biao. The water camps in Jiangling area have been captured, which is enough for Liu Biao to eat. Shi Yuan thought that Liu Biao would be furious and sent Xiangyang naval troops to help the war?" Liu Feng asked suddenly.

Of course, Liu Biao's army would not be just a little bit. In the past, with Huang Zu there, the Jiangxia naval army was 8,000, and the attack was insufficient, but the strength to resist the Jiangdong naval army was still there. Therefore, most of the ferries in the Jiangling area were warships, and only a small number of soldiers were guarding.

Liu Biao's naval army was all in Xiangyang with tens of thousands of people. Seeing that Liu Biao's naval army is so useless now, Liu Feng didn't expect to be elite, but there were many.

If Liu Biao was angry and led tens of thousands of navy troops south, the 5,000 navy troops in Jiangdong would not be enough to see.

"Liu Biao was afraid of Cao Ren, a tiger in Wancheng. How could he let the Xiangyang navy go south at will? At present, we can only rely on ourselves." Pang Tong shook his head and said.

"My mother-in-law and mother asked him to send 3,000 troops here and refused. It was this kind of personality that made the Sun family in Jiangdong grow up. After repelling Zhou Yu, I asked Gan Ning to lead the crowd to attack Jiangling, which was the hinterland of Jingzhou. The defenders had not been through battle formations for a long time and were lazy in training. Moreover, because it was a reserve city for Jingzhou, they stocked up a large amount of food, grass and weapons. They snatched it." Liu Feng's eyes were filled with cold light.

Now is not the time when Jiang Xia had just decided, but now it is the first time. The quality of the army has improved a little, and Liu Feng is not unable to rob Jiangling.

He was willing to surrender and guarded the gate for Liu Biao, but Liu Biao still wanted to use Zhou Yu's hands to weaken him.

As the saying goes, you are the first day of the lunar calendar, and I am the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. Liu Feng is not afraid of him.

But Liu Feng knew that it was a matter of afterwards. Now his navy was being beaten and the infantry was on the defensive. Not to mention dealing with Liu Biao, dealing with Zhou Yu would be a headache.

"In fact, Zhou Yu used the navy to restrain him this time, which was also beneficial to us. He could use less than 10,000 infantrymen, and our infantrymen had 8,000, and the city was as strong as the city. And if he could lead his vanguard, he would have almost 70% chance of winning." Seeing Liu Feng gritting his teeth, Pang Tong smiled slightly and said.

"Since the navy has moved, the infantry is also fast. He ordered Huang Zhong to divide the base camp into two. He led 3,000 troops with Chen Da led the Pojun, and the second battalion of Shenbing followed me to move into Wuchang. He ordered Deng Ai to lead 1,000 troops with Huang Zhong's remaining 2,000 troops. A total of 3,000 troops entered the defense of Xiling." Since he knew that this was not the time to be angry with Liu Biao, Liu Feng quickly issued an order.

This is the plan formulated by Pang Tong and him, only protecting three cities, Xiakou, Xiling, and Wuchang. These three cities are tall and have heavy cities that can be defended. As long as you protect these three cities, the Jiangxia area will not be out of Liu Feng's control.

"I will hand over Xiling to Shiyuan." After giving the order, Liu Feng then went to Pang Tong. However, he personally went to the front line and entrusted the rear to Pang Tong.

"No." Pang Tong's expression was solemn and he said.

The three cities of Xiakou, Xiling and Wuchang are in a straight line. Xiling is in the middle. If Xiling is captured, Xiakou and Wuchang are like snakes with their abdomen cut off, and they can only wait for death.

Liu Feng was going to lead troops to fight Zhou Yu's vanguard, and the burden was heavy. Pang Tong's was not small either.

Both of them knew in their hearts that this was a crisis, a huge crisis. However, as long as they crossed over, the sky would be vast and the sky would be clear and the clouds would be clear.

As long as the tribes of the mountains and Yue in Jiangdong rebelled again, Zhou Yu had to retreat and quell the rebellion.

This rebellion took at least a few months or even a year. With this time, Liu Feng and Pang Tong fully believed that they could train an elite soldier.

Both the navy and infantry can fight against Jiangdong, and it will not be like now that the navy is suppressed and dare not emerge, and the infantry can only defend.

With a month of full preparation, Liu Feng personally led his troops to Wuchang, fought to the death with Zhou Yu, and defended Jiangxia without losing.

At the same time, in Xiangyang City.

In the study, Liu Biao and Kuai Yue sat opposite each other. At this moment, the expression on Liu Biao's face was a little strange, as if it was a little happy, but at the same time, it was a little worried.

"Lord, aren't you really going to send the Xiangyang naval army south? If Jiangxia is broken, we will face the army of Jiangdong directly. Just like these days, Jiangdong naval army can rush straight into the hinterland of Jiangling, break through the water camp, and burn my warships." The two were silent for a while, and Kuai Yue said softly.

He knew why Liu Biao was happy and why he was worried.

Liu *** Huang Zu and Liu Biao said that he had hatred for seizing the general. He threatened Liu Biao to retreat and humiliate him. Now seeing Zhou Yu advance, it is no wonder that Liu Biao was happy. In the face of Liu Feng's request for help, he only gave him supplies, food, but did not send troops to rescue him.

Before Kuai Yue, Cai Mao had persuaded Liu Biao because of Liu Feng's letters, but Liu Biao still insisted on his own opinion and insisted on not sending troops to rescue him.

Of course, Cai Mao didn't want Liu Feng to be in danger, so he sent someone to ask Kuai Yue to come out of the mountain and asked Kuai Yue to persuade Liu Biao to advance. However, Kuai Yue failed.

It can be seen how much Liu Biao hated Liu Feng.

However, when the war broke out, news that the water camps such as Shiyang, Hanyang, Wulin and others were breached. In the face of the fact that the Jingzhou infantry could not ferry to Jiangxia again, Liu Biao was worried again. Because Jiangxia was destroyed, Jingzhou would face the attack from Jiangdong.

Liu Biao is such a person, complicated and has many concerns.
