I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 788 Jingzhou Rebellious Boy

At the same time, Jingzhou.

The flag with the word "Liu" has been erected on the top of Xiangyang City. A little further to the north, thousands of cavalry are pouring in like a torrent. Liu Jian does not want to miss the last battle. Now he has arrived in Xiangyang to meet with Zhao Yun. It was the end of March when we arrived. At this time, there was continuous spring rain in the south and the river water level was a little high.

The masts of the furled white sails spread like a forest. Liu Jian and Zhao Yun were walking near the water village. The river in their field of vision was full of ships. Occasionally, when the two of them talked about the past, their faces inevitably showed a look of sadness, but they also It’s hard to suppress the heroic feeling in my heart to dominate the world.

Liu Jian said: "The peaceful world will be completed in our hands!"

Zhao Yun laughed. Even though he was already leading a general, his heart was still filled with excitement.

"The general never thought that it would come to this day, and the world would be at peace in our hands!"

He looked at the river on a rainy day and said in a heroic voice: "The four generations and three princes will be destroyed here."

"Hahaha……"

Amid the heroic and resounding laughter, Liu Jian also laughed and waved his hand, "I will go with Zilong to witness all this!"

Afterwards, the soldiers formed a long queue and passed around the two people walking on the bridge amid the scoldings of their commanders. The dense queue extended into the cabins leading to various ships of various sizes.

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Jian in surprise: "Why? You are so good, why did you ask me to replace Yunchang?"

Zhang Fei turned around and saw Liu Jian, so he hurriedly paid homage.

Liu Jian looked at the soldiers passing by one after another with a calm expression on his face.

Liu Jian's naval force deployed in Jingzhou set off.

Vaguely, there was the sound of war drums.

Zhang Fei nodded: "I'll leave now!"

"Won't Yide sleep a little longer?"

Zhang Fei took the letter and read it for a while, with a rare expression of excitement on his face.

Zhang Fei fastened his armor, took the iron helmet from the desk, and strode out of the handsome tent with his arms folded. He stood quietly for a while in the warm morning light. Under his closed eyes, the sun reflected the There is blood flowing in the veins of the eyelids.

Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner.

"Yuan Shaoming is a stubborn person who doesn't know how to adapt and the general trend. This time, he will die on the verge of death... It is imperative to unify Jiangnan, but we must be cautious about other things."

Amidst the shouts, Zhang Fei followed Liu Jian for a while. The sky in the east became brighter and brighter. He suddenly whispered: "Brother, are you ready to fight Yuan Shao? There was news before that the water in Jiangling The enemy has made a move, with Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Wei Yan as generals, commanding the navy, and they should be ready to fight us. "

This attack on Jiangling brought together the best generals and the most powerful troops of the Northern Army.

In the sky, a water bird flapped its wings and landed, standing on a wooden barrel on the deck, tilting its head to look at the humans coming up, and then flew out again with a cry.

Soon after hearing their voices, Zhang Liao laughed and waved to the approaching ships. The generals in the water village also came out, and more than a hundred people gathered behind Liu Jian, looking to the west. The arriving fleet was pointing and laughing.

After walking a short distance, Zhang Fei seemed to suddenly think of something.

Liu Jian took out Liu Ji's letter from his sleeve and said, "This is what Ji'er sent last night. I didn't close my eyes for half the night..."

The giant boat broke through the waves and sailed away.

"Yun Chang is sick... No, will everything be okay?"

Liu Jian smiled: "Don't worry."

In front of them, war horses were led into the cabin. Groups of soldiers from the North and the Central Plains were on the deck getting used to the undulating waves. Farther away, a huge fleet of ships came down the river from the west. Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Pang De, Yan Xing and others stood on the big boat and shouted and waved to the water village.

Liu Jian comforted him and said: "At present, it seems that it is probably dizziness. It should be a problem left by his fighting in the cold northern land. It should not be life-threatening."

And it was personally directed by Prime Minister Liu Jian.

……

"No matter how thick the wall is, it can't stop such a strong wind!" Liu Jian said lightly: "Jiangling is strong, so what?"

The bird's vision looked down, and a Taoist voice screamed, the forest-like mast raised the sails, the wind blew over, and the horn sounded on the huge gate ship painted with animal masks, Groups of ships formed a huge fleet to guard the surroundings, slowly sailing away from the water village crossing of the Han River. The turbulent river water surged and pushed away layer by layer in front of the sailing ship.

"But now we can't let him do whatever he wants. If he sends someone else, he may not release the military power. Only you can do it."

……

Birds flew across the blue sky, and the masts were like forests, undulating and swaying slightly with the water waves.

Jingzhou is already in its final hustle and bustle.

Not far away, there was the sound of gentle footsteps.

Leaving here, the civilians in the water village are also making final preparations. One by one, they are carrying crossbows and stone cannons onto the boats.

After Zhang Fei left, Liu Jian immediately ordered: "Set the sails, the navy and the army go together, go straight to Jiangling!"

Liu Jian smiled slightly and said, "Come for a walk with me."

Zhang Fei let out a long breath, then took the big snake spear from the guard and walked towards the bridge. As he walked forward, Liu Jian walked onto the bridge with him with his sword. The sound of drums became clearer one after another. The entire water village was already in action, and countless soldiers began to gather in silence.

The wind blew across the sky, the earth, the trees and the mountains, and the rivers surged.

"Brother, I'm not here, so be careful!"

"Yide, you will be on your way soon and take 10,000 horses to Wujiang to replace Yun Chang."

As for Jiangling's navy, Yuan Shao also sent elite troops to fight.

"I can't sleep. As soon as I close my eyes, I can see what we looked like when we were in Zhuo County..." Brother, our Six Tigers of Zhuo County have actually made it this far. "

On the Han River, a fleet of more than two thousand ships faced off on the river. The white sails spread and covered the flowing water. After a moment, the war drums sounded, and the warships of both sides fiercely rushed toward each other.

Arrows were like locusts, flying densely across the sky, mixed with stone cannons, and hit the opponent hard, splashing water waves ten feet high.

The clouds seemed to be burning. In the red sunset light, the stone cannon flew across a distance. Occasionally, flying arrows collided with it. It was pushed away weakly and fell down. It traced a long trajectory. Below it were dozens of people. The stern sailed quickly, and then hit a big ship in the front with a bang!
On the fighting ship with a high grating, the grating suddenly broke, and the entire hull also turned sideways and tipped over under the inertia. Dozens of Jingzhou soldiers were thrown into the water. There was another bang, and the stone cannon fell into the water. It splashed countless water and then sank into the river. There was bright red blood in the bubbles that stirred up the water.

When the field of vision was opened, there were several such stone bullets flying in the sky mixed with arrows, and then fell.

The battle on the Han River lasted from morning to dusk. Liu Jian and Zhao Yun stood on the highest point of the largest gate ship. There were several trebuchets beside them that were constantly stirring and throwing. The big yellow crossbows on the floor below were constantly stirring. He shot at the Jingzhou cockroaches that were swarming around. With luck, he directly punched a hole in the hull, but more of them still shot into the water.

"Send an order to the three pavilions on the left to send twenty ships to attack Wei Yan and prevent him from rescuing Gan Ning!"

Liu Jian issued an order and kept his eyes fixed on the large ship with the "Gan" flag in the middle of the Jingzhou water formation, as well as the battle situation on the surrounding river. In more than a year, he rushed to build more than 300 warships, and it was already overwhelming. Despite all the strength of the north, the number of ships still does not have a big advantage compared to the Jingzhou Navy on the opposite side, so we still have to start with tactics.

As the sun sets, looking from the height of the gate ship, thousands of warships cover the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Fire arrows in the sky keep coming and going on the river, and some fall into the ships and are killed by soldiers. Some of them were nailed directly to the white sails, igniting fires. The soldiers manning the sails quickly lowered the sails and put out the fire. There were also people who fell down after being hit by arrows, screaming in pain and asking their companions to rescue them. Stretching out to the left and right, the vast river surface and the long and narrow scorpions, as the main force on both sides, have been intertwined in the fierce fighting on the battlefield. When they collided, dozens of spears protruded from the hatches on both sides and stabbed at the opposite side crazily, and some also ignited rockets. The taxi soldiers rushed out of the hatch, stood on the side of the ship and fired at the opponent at close range, nailing the hull, cowhide, or human body, and igniting flames amidst the shrill screams.

Occasionally, the wind blows and the flames spread. The whole boat begins to sink, revealing half of it with countless corpses on the water. As the river rises and falls, the sailing ships push away the corpses.

"If the stalemate continues, it will be difficult to determine the winner. In the end, the general will go forward personally." Zhao Yun said, then stood up and took the spear.

Liu Jian, who had just issued an order over there, turned to look at him and then looked at the battlefield for a moment. The tacit understanding between the two people was already beyond ordinary people.

Liu Jian nodded: "I'll ask Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to help you."

Then the soldiers who delivered the order were asked to play flags.

Zhao Yun raised his hand to Liu Jian, held up the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Young men! Come with me!"

Hundreds of silent figures stood up on the deck below. These people were the navy soldiers Zhao Yun had recently recruited in Xiangyang.

Perhaps they are not as good as the soldiers of Xiliang, Bingzhou, and Youzhou in horseback combat, but they are more suitable on the water, and they have all been trained by Zhao Yun.

Hearing Zhao Yun's roar, they abandoned their spears one by one, dragged off their armor inlaid with iron plates, and jumped off the dozens of ships on both sides of the gate ship with only their clothes, pants and bare feet in hand. Ride the wind and waves.

Under the banner of 'Gan', Gan Ning only wore leather armor and a pair of steps. He stood on the deck and watched the entire battle, his body trembling slightly. This was his first time commanding hundreds of warships.

Originally, he only charged into the battle as a fierce general, but now he was finally commanding from the center like a real general. Gan Ning was very excited.

But it is a pity that Zhou Tai and Wei Yan do not belong to themselves, and the three of them can only rely on the strategies formulated in advance to cooperate with each other.

As a former Jinfan thief, he is actually very satisfied to be able to become a general under Yuan Shao. Of course, it would be best if he could make greater contributions, but Wei Yan was originally a general under him. Xiao Sima was now promoted by Yuan Shao to be his equal, which really made Gan Ning a little unhappy.

When the blood in his veins seemed to be burning, his eyes scanning the battlefield noticed dozens of scorpions suddenly appearing on the opposite side, rushing through the entangled battlefield and rushing towards them in the wind and waves.

"Is this... coming for me?"

Gan Ning touched the beard under his chin. As the other party got closer and closer, he could vaguely see a man wearing a white coverall and armor on the side of the leading ship.

The corners of his lips curled up, and he tilted his head and gave the order: "Stop the fleet, raise a flag and ask General Zhou and Wei Yan to send some people to assist and penetrate the opponent's flank."

The flags were waving, but when he turned his gaze, he let out a light sigh...

The water waves split under the fast-moving ship. On the bumpy stern, Zhao Yun stepped on the bow of the ship. His eyes were solemn and majestic. The tassel on his stern flew backwards in the wind. He held the spear and arched it slightly. When he moved his body, the whole thing seemed to be filled with an aura of danger in an instant.

There were several Jingzhou stern boats approaching to intercept them. Zhao Yun had no expression on his face. In one breath, he said: "Crash them over!"

Opposite, the soldiers in the cabin ran out, and the moment the spears were set up like a forest, the opposite side gathered enough wind, and hit the bow of their ship with a bang. Under the violent shaking, the even formation of spears shook. .

In the swaying eyes of some of them, in the light of the setting sun, a figure jumped up high, and the heavy iron spear fell hard towards them. While smashing the head of one of them, he swung the heavy spear horizontally and smashed this person. The array of spears staggered around, and people fell down the sides of the ship like raindrops. Zhao Yun stepped on the deck and rushed into the cabin. He only heard the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong. There were chaotic figures in the holes on both sides of the cabin, and some of them were hit directly through the hatch. Hanging out, or crashing through the bulkhead and falling into the water.

"Damn it, get out of the way!"

The hatch shattered, and a spear reached the stern of the ship. The last soldier turned around and jumped into the water without waiting for the opponent to come over.

On the stern of the boat, Zhao Yun leaned his spear on the stern, looking at the tall ship not far away opposite him, glaring angrily and shouting: "Gan Ning, I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, do you recognize me!!!"

Zhao Yun's white cloak tore into several tears and fluttered in the wind.

"I am going to kill you, the thief general, to avenge my lord!"

Gan Ning clenched his long sword, carried two halberds, and had an iron chain around his waist. He wanted to go down to the boat to compete with the opponent, but was dissuaded by the soldiers beside him.

And among the dozens of stern ships that rushed over there, some of them entangled each other, while the others continued to sprint forward. When Zhao Yun heard the other party's words, he snorted, drew his spear, jumped, and landed on the bow of the ship coming from the side. Seconds later, several cold arrows whizzed, nailing the wooden board he had just been standing on.

"Rat!"

Zhao Yun glanced at the slightly trembling feather arrow and asked the rowing soldiers in the cabin to speed up.

Moving back a little bit in time, Zhou Tai and Wei Yan on the left and right sent out more than ten ships to rush towards this side, while the support from Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were also sailing quickly nearby. When they were parallel to each other, the two sides started a fierce confrontation. Shoot, the cowhide covering the cabin is densely packed with arrows.

Just when Wei Yan was about to take a circuitous route to avoid it, a voice came from the other side: "I am Jiang Changshan Zhao Zilong."

When Wei Yan heard this shout, he couldn't help but feel excited.

To be honest, in young Wei Yan's heart, there are three people he admires and admires the most.

One is Lu Bu, one is Guan Yu, and the other is Zhao Yun.

Wei Yan has been hearing about the deeds of these three people since he was very young.

My ears are almost calloused.

But when had he ever thought that one day he would meet his idol on the battlefield?

Soon, he saw a hesitant expression on Wei Yan's face.

But the hesitation lasted only a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yan made a decision that he had thought about for a long time.

"Don't mess with them!"

"Speed ​​up and get towards the enemy's head over there, hurry up!"

The stern under the seat took a roundabout way to avoid the enemy ship that hit the side. Wei Yan waved his sword and deflected the arrow that flew towards Leng Buding. However, his eyes kept searching for the direction of the sound. After a moment, he saw something coming from the side. The figure jumped up from the stern of the stern boat and jumped onto another ship. The moment he saw the other side's face clearly, Wei Yan unexpectedly shouted out: "Changshan Zhao Zilong, a true hero!"

"Someone...take our ship...and change the flag!!"

.......
The sudden change caused a huge gap in the formation of the entire Jingzhou fleet. The imperial navy, which was originally fighting, found a breakthrough and penetrated in. Gan Ning, who was stationed in the front, was dumbfounded by this sudden change. Wei Yan Gan Ning often fought with him on the battlefield. Gan Ning thought that he knew Wei Yan relatively well and felt that this man was a rare young hero.

As long as he works hard, he will definitely become a great trouble in Jingzhou in the future.

However, this time, the opponent's sudden change of flag will soon capsize the entire fleet.

"Little Wei Yan, how dare you do this?!"

"Someone must kill you...ah, ah, ah!!!"

Gan Ning's eyes were bloodshot, and when he screamed, more than thirty northern ships had already entered his second formation, and flames were burning on the ships.

Liu Jian was at the top of the fighting ship. He suddenly saw that the leading ship of the fleet that was rescuing Gan Ning suddenly changed its flag, causing chaos in the fleet, and his eyes narrowed.

"Who is he? He turned traitor on the battlefield?"

Liu Jian frowned and said to himself.
