Chapter 592 (1/2)
The cavalry was divided into two groups, one facing south and the other straight into Wancheng.
Before long, an army of 13000 people in the city rushed out of Wancheng, under the banner of ”Zhang”, also carrying dozens of boats that could not be used. They always kept a certain distance from Jingzhou Navy, so as not to be found.
With the advent of the day, the moon hanging above the sky was soon replaced by the bright sun, and scattered thousands of golden lights underground.
The slight River breeze blows, and the sailors of Jingzhou army on the deck can't help feeling a little comfortable. They don't have to fight. Who is not happy?
Cai Mao on the battleship asked Cai Xun, ”how long is it from Yuyang city?”
”Governor CAI can rest assured that he will arrive in half a day.”
Cai Mao nodded, his face expressionless.
Cai Xun said cautiously: ”when we reach Yuyang city to get food and grass, will the governor again command his troops and go north to Wancheng?” Cai Xun knew that his elder brother was very happy. Before he left, he issued a military order to Liu Biao of zhoumu, saying that he would take Nanyang County, but now he can't even take down Wancheng. Naturally, he can't do business with Liu Biao after he goes back.
”Of course not.” Cai Mao shook his head and said, ”our army has not been able to attack Wancheng for a long time. Now the retreat has dampened morale. How can our army possibly win Wancheng?”
”So we have to retreat? When the time comes, the state shepherd will blame... Alas. ” Cai sighed, some for it.
Cai Mao said in a low voice: ”it doesn't matter. If you have a little sister, Zhou Mu won't blame us too much.”
At first, Liu Biao was appointed Jingzhou animal husbandry, and no one disagreed with him when he rode alone into Xiangyang. However, Liu Biao had no foundation in Xiangyang. Cai Mao exchanged marriage for Liu Biao's support. Therefore, Cai Mao's sister married Liu Biao and became a concubine. The relationship between them was not only a monarch and a minister, but also a brother-in-law and a brother-in-law.
While Cai Mao and Cai Xun were talking, the Jingzhou navy fleet stopped suddenly.
Cai Mao frowned: ”what's going on? It's very important to be quick. How can we stop? ”
”Report to governor Cai!” ”The messenger called out,” someone has set up a cross river iron rope in front of us, so our ship team stopped. ”
”Hengjiang iron rope?” Cai Mao frowned: ”it seems that it was set up by the bandit Gan Ning in order to hinder the advance of our army.”
Cai Xun said directly: ”since someone has set up the Hengjiang iron rope and ordered people to dismantle it, what else should they do on the newspaper? The governor should teach you such a small matter?”
”Yes, I'm going to announce it.”
In front of the Jingzhou navy fleet, more than a dozen iron ropes across the river blocked the Han River. Jingzhou sailors on top of the boats jumped into the water and swam toward the shore.
However, at this time, a fleet of large scale, which was opposite the iron rope of Hengjiang River, rushed up, among which there were three boats and more than ten boats. A brocade sail was hung above the flagpole, which was majestic.
Ganning stood on the bow of a boat with two short halberds on its back and a bell pinned to her waist.
”Brothers ”Jingzhou fish rush up and greet them with our bows and arrows,” he said
”No!” The Jin Fan soldiers on the ship had already prepared their bows and crossbows and aimed at Jingzhou soldiers who were going to release the iron cables of Hengjiang river.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless arrows flew out, and the Jingzhou soldiers who climbed to the shore from the water were shocked. They wanted to escape, but there was no space at all. Dozens of Jingzhou soldiers should be killed even if they were shot by random arrows.
