Chapter 200 Battle on the Water

The night is like ink. I don't know if the moon changed shifts with dark clouds and found a place to drink. After the sun set, it was never seen again. When looking at the sky, the black pressure makes people breathless.

Zhou Anmu's mood is like this night, without a trace of light.

He really didn't want to play against Lu Qiang. Originally, he thought it was very good. He went to Baekje to clean up Liu Yi, and by the way, he also thought he went to the sea for a distraction to understand the shadow of the last Xunyang defeat, but he never thought that the iron war could do that people and gods were angry at this time.

What's wrong with the Beifu Army now? Why do you still learn to slaughter their own people?

Zhou Anmu can understand Tie Zhan's hatred for Lu Qiang. It can be understood that he agrees with his behavior, but it is another matter.

The iron war was picked by Lu Qiang. Zhou Anmu was not surprised by this result at all. Even he, who had a good relationship with the iron war, now can't hate Lu Qiang at all.

It's really a very contradictory psychology.

According to Liu Muzhi's idea, the iron rope across the river is equipped with dark piles, which seems to be foolproof, but Zhou Anmu's heart can never let go. The main reason is that the Jingzhou army in Jiangbei has been killed. In order to preserve their strength, they have to withdraw the army to the south bank. In this way, there is no army to defend Jiangbei, although the war The boat can't cross the river, but the Jingzhou army can do what it wants to do on the north bank. In this way, what's the point of blocking the river?

In fact, Zhou Anmu also understands that although this move is helpless, it can indeed delay the Jingzhou water army, otherwise the Jingzhou water army can go down the stream and directly kill Jiankang.

After all, Zhou Anmu is not an ordinary soldier. What he sees, hears and thinks is much farther than others. Now that the road is strong, Liu Yu is at the end of the road, so what should he do?

He wanted to leave alone as an officer in the north, and Liu Yu was kind to him. How could he do that kind of treachery?

Looking at the dark river, Zhou Anmu couldn't help sighing, which was a helpless and resolute sigh.

The Jingzhou army has been very calm recently, especially after he crossed the river with an iron rope. Except for sending sentry boats to wander on the river, large warships did not seem to be able to do anything about it, but Zhou Anmu was convinced that this was just calm before the storm came.

Zhou Anmu, as the commander of the navy, has been eating and living on the front line. He visits every day before going back to rest.

Standing by the river and sighing for a while, I was about to go back. Suddenly, I felt as if there was something wrong. I stared at the river, but except for the sound of waves, it seemed to be no different.

Zhou Anmu was cautious by nature, and in this tense period, he was even more careful, and immediately ordered people to drive a sentry boat to inspect the river.

At this time, the river is not calm, the dark clouds are on the top, and the wind is gradually strengthening. It looks like a downpour. Under the action of the wind, the water surface is very strong. Fortunately, there are iron cables across the river, otherwise the small sentry boats will be easily overturned.

The sentry ship followed the iron rope. Before Jiang Xin, someone on the sentry boat shouted: "What is that? It seems to be a ship. Why is it hanging on the cable? Look, there are also..."

Although the sound was not very clear, it was still heard by Zhou Anmu, who was waiting on the shore.

Is there a boat hanging on the cable?

Zhou Anmu was shocked first, and then seemed to have some understanding in his heart and couldn't help shouting: "Come on... Get those boats away..."

As if cooperating with him, with Zhou Anmu's shout, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed on the dark river surface, and then the light became bigger and bigger, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of flames, and there was more than a pile of crazy burning flames under all the cables.

Looking at these fires, Zhou Anmu's heart couldn't help sinking. Of course, he understood what these fires were for, but he couldn't figure out how the Jingzhou navy hung these boats on the iron cable because he defended so closely.

Now that these are useless, as the iron cable is burned, the Jingzhou navy will definitely follow.

Zhou Anmu ordered to ignite the beacon and warn the defending troops everywhere and ask them to be prepared. In fact, in his heart, he did not believe that the Jingzhou navy would choose to attack in such weather, because the water surface was too stormy. No matter how sharp the Jingzhou warship was, it could be overturned even if the wind and waves were strong.

The facts quickly confirmed Zhou Anmu's idea. Except for the fire under the iron rope, the Jingzhou water army really did not move at all.

God is like a naughty child. After the dark clouds and strong wind, no rain fell, but as the sky became brighter, the river suddenly became foggy and the fog was thick, completely covering the scene on the river.

Zhou Anmu stayed by the river for a whole night. Although the Jingzhou navy did not attack as he expected, his heart became deeper and deeper as the fog rose.

The iron cable has been burned. At this time, if the Jingzhou navy goes out, I'm afraid they can find that only those underwater dark piles can play a role!

God also seemed to have the intention to comfort the Beifu army, which had been worried by the river all night, until the sun rose and the clouds dispersed, and the Jingzhou navy still did not launch an attack.

However, as their horizons became wider and wider, Zhou Anmu and Beifu Army, who had been paying attention to the movement of the river, found a frightening scene.

But seeing that on the north side of the river, countless Jingzhou soldiers are riding down the river on a raft, and I don't know when it started? The rafts are arranged on the river, and there is no end at a glance.

"I'm angry..."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Anmu almost vomited blood again.

Everyone knows that the warship is large and deep in water, so it is impossible for the warship to pass through the waters with dark piles, but the raft is different. The raft is beautiful on the surface of the water, and there is no need to worry about underwater obstacles at all. If a raft stands with ten soldiers, looking at the endless source of rafts, I don't know how many Jingzhou sailors have been It has been delivered.

In the stunned eyes of the Beifu army, the Jingzhou warship, which they had been looking forward to all night, finally appeared on the foggy river.

Morning wind hunting, war flag flying.

A Jingzhou warship with monsters on the bow appeared in the morning fog, as if it came from another world. Instead of any reaction from the Beifu Army, pieces of human head-sized stones fell from the sky.

"General, withdraw quickly."

The soldiers pulled Zhou Anmu and ran back, and other soldiers also hurried into the long-digged pits, which were prepared for catapults.

Jiang Dalong stood proudly on the handsome ship, commanded the Jingzhou warships to line up, and bombed the Beifu army positions on the shore. Fortunately, the stones projected are not shells, otherwise this blow can completely disintegrate the Beifu Army.

Today's river is completely the world of the Jingzhou navy. Because we know that the Jingzhou navy is sharp, most of the warships of the Beifu navy have been pulled into the harbor, completely trying to stop the Jingzhou navy with various fortifications.

At this time, it can be said that God is helping the Jingzhou army, otherwise Jiang Dalong's men could not be so easy to approach the iron rope and burn it. At the same time, when the navy goes down the stream on a raft, if it is blocked by the Beifu warship, it is bound to suffer heavy losses.

Looking at the Beifu Army, which was compressed in the pit and dared not look up, Jiang Dalong couldn't help smiling and suddenly shouted: "Bring the trumpet and launch a general attack"

As the iron cable was burned, 10,000 soldiers floated to the rear of the Beifu army on wooden rafts. The port garrisoned by Zhou Anmu was actually meaningless. However, the thick fog facilitated the Jingzhou army and biased Zhou Anmu's judgment.

With the sound of the horn on the Jingzhou warship, a shocking shout suddenly sounded around.

Not far behind the wharf where Zhou Anmu and others are stationed is Shicheng, which is also a point set up by Liu Yu to take Guangyang as the center defense. Not far from the city is Jingzhou Camp, and the commander of the camp here is Han Yanzhi.

30,000 troops under Han Yanzhi, plus the navy, a total of 60,000 horses.

The navy took the lead in attacking on the surface of the water. He immediately launched a containment attack on the Beifu camp in Shicheng with 20,000 horses, causing 10,000 horses to cooperate with the navy to attack the Beifu navy on the dock, plus the Jingzhou army behind the Beifu navy on a raft. A total of 50,000 horses were invested in this battle, which can be said to be the most since the beginning of the war. A big battle.

Why doesn't Liu Yu know the importance of the waterway? The total number of Anmu's sailors in a single week is also 30,000, and 30,000 are also stationed in Shicheng, which can be said to be sufficient.

However, the defense line of the Beifu Army is mainly in the direction of the Jingzhou army. There are trenches in front of this side. After the trenches are tall and strong fences. At the same time, earth is used behind the fence, so that even if the Jingzhou army attacks fire, it will not have any effect.

If you pay attention to the front, you will ignore the back. There are also places that the army of the fork is not able to take care of it, and the defense line behind can be said to be broken at a touch.

As 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers broke into the Beifu army's defense line, the entire Beifu army's defense line was shaken. And the most serious blow to morale, yes! Who would have thought that the so-called solid defense would be broken so quickly.

As the Beifu army thought, the frontal defense of the battalion did block the Jingzhou army, but as the Jingzhou army entered behind, the navy also came ashore under the cover of warships.

In this way, the Beifu army lost each other. With the landing of more and more Jingzhou troops, the Beifu army had to give up its position, fight and retreat to the city. At the same time, a letter for help was also sent to Liu Yuzhong's army camp in Guangyang.

At this level, it must be too late to ask for help.

Seeing that the defense of the front camp in Beifu was getting weaker and weaker, Han Yanzhi knew that it was time and immediately waved his army to suppress the whole line.

As the fence outside the camp was pulled down, the long-standing Jingzhou army, led by 2,000 iron horses, poured into the Beifu camp like a tide.

When Liu Yu received a call for help, the large camp outside Shicheng had been completely occupied by the Jingzhou army. The remnants returned to Shicheng and closed the gate and waited for help.

Fortunately, it was also thought that the Jingzhou army might launch an attack on the city, so the wall was also strengthened, otherwise Han Yanzhi wanted to attack it in one fell swoop.

In this battle, nearly 10,000 Beifu troops lost nearly 10,000, and many people fled, and only more than 30,000 were trapped in the city.

Although Han Yanzhi's people and Jiang Dalong's water army also suffered a lot of damage, they were much worse than the Beifu army, and their combat strength was still about 50,000.

Although 50,000 troops can besiege this small city, their forces are too scattered, so Han Yanzhi stationed his troops on the river, which can echo the water army and deter the defenders in the city at the same time.

The report of the victory was almost the same as the news of the loss of the camp to Lu Qiang and Liu Yu.
