Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 592: Chase along the way

The cavalry was divided into two teams, facing south all the way, and rushing straight into Wancheng all the way.

Not long after, a 13,000-strong troop in the city rushed out of Wancheng, under the banner of "Zhang", and also carrying dozens of useless walking boats along the Han River southward, always Pay attention to keeping a certain distance from the Jingzhou navy, so as not to be discovered.

With the advent of daylight, the moon hanging above the sky was quickly replaced by the bright sun, and it spread thousands of golden light to the ground.

The slight river breeze came, and the sailors of the Jingzhou Army on the deck couldn't help feeling a bit of comfort. Who would be unhappy without having to fight?

Cai Hao on the battleship asked Cai Xun next to him: "How long will it take to arrive at Yuyang City?"

"Duke Cai, don't worry, you can arrive in half a day."

Cai Hao nodded, expressionless.

Cai Xun cautiously said: "When I arrive at Yuyang City to get the grain and grass, does the governor want to command again and go north to Wancheng?" Cai Xun knew that his brother was very happy. Before leaving, he issued a military order to Liu Biao of the prefecture and said he would take it. Under Nanyang County, but now even Wancheng has not been able to take it down, naturally it is impossible to cross Liu Biao after returning.

"Of course it's impossible." Cai Hao shook his head and said: "Our army has been unable to successfully attack Wancheng for a long time. Now that the retreat has hurt morale, how can our army win Wancheng?"

"So, does our army have to retreat? The State Mu must be blamed by that time... Hey." Cai Xun sighed, a little embarrassed.

Cai Hao said in a low voice: "It's okay, there's a little girl here, Zhou Mu won't blame me too much."

At the beginning, Liu Biao was appointed as Jingzhou Mu, and no one refused to ride alone into Xiangyang. However, Liu Biao had no foundation in Xiangyang. Cai Hao used the marriage as a condition in exchange for support for Liu Biao, so Cai Hao’s sister married Liu Biao and became a concubine. The relationship is not only the monarch and ministers, but also the brother-in-law and the brother-in-law.

While Cai Hao and Cai Xun were talking, the advancing fleet of Jingzhou Navy suddenly stopped.

Cai Hao frowned: "What's the matter? Binggui is so fast, why did he stop."

"Report to Governor Cai!" The Chuanbingbing shouted: "Someone set up a Hengjiang iron cable in front, so our fleet stopped."

"Hengjiang Iron Cable?" Cai Hao frowned: "It seems that it was set up by Gan Ning, a dog thief, to hinder the advancement of our army."

Cai Xun said directly: "Since someone has set up the Hengjiang iron cable, they are ordered to remove it. Why do they report it to you? The governor should teach you such a small matter?"

"Yes, the subordinates will go and inform."

In front of the Jingzhou Navy fleet, dozens of Hengjiang iron cables blocked the Han River, and the Jingzhou sailors who walked on the boat jumped into the water and swam toward the shore.

However, at this moment, a large fleet on the opposite side of the Hengjiang Railway rushed up. Among them, there were three sterns and more than ten walkers. All of them were hung on the flagpoles with a brocade sail, majestic and majestic.

Gan Ning stood on the bow of a stern, with two short halberds inserted behind his back, and a bell on his waist, smug.

"Brothers!" Gan Ning shouted, "Jingzhou Shuiyu rushed up and greeted them with our bows and arrows."

"No!" The Jinfan soldiers on board had already prepared their bows and crossbows, and aimed at the Jingzhou soldiers who were going to untie the Hengjiang iron cable.

Whoosh whoosh!

Countless arrows flew out, and the Jingzhou soldiers who climbed from the water to the shore were taken aback. They wanted to escape but there was no room at all. Dozens of Jingzhou soldiers were shot dead by random arrows.

The Jingzhou Soldier who fell into the water hurriedly took a deep breath, and he lurked into the water for fear of being covered by Jinfan Soldier's arrows.

"Damn it, this is troublesome."

The veteran Wang Wei couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene: "If the Hengjiang iron lock cannot be unlocked, our army will not be able to pass through the Han River. Wouldn't it be necessary to be trapped here alive?"

"What are you afraid of!"

Wenpin suddenly walked up from behind and said coldly: "It's just Hengjiang iron ropes. I waited for the mobilization stern to directly rush over and pull up these crude Hengjiang iron ropes in one fell swoop."

"Huh?" Wang Wei nodded his head approvingly, but said anxiously: "Should we ask Governor Cai for advice?"

"Forget it, make a decision on the occasion, if you have to ask Governor Cai for everything, what else do you use us for?" Wen Pin said coldly.

"Zhongye, you have to think about it." Wang Wei frowned, and the kid had to make a good decision again.

"Tell me the order!" Wen Pin shouted loudly: "Order the army to assemble forward, hurry!"

Wang Wei first tried to persuade him not to move, and secondly he also felt that the stern strike was a good way, so he didn’t stop it, so the Jingzhou army’s stern warships began to slowly build up toward the front.

"Hey, what is the Jingzhou Army doing?"

Gan Ning looked at the Jingzhou Army taking action with great interest. He couldn't help but frown. He saw that the Jingzhou Army's stern warships were slowly gathering forward, and suddenly they gathered into six stern warships. The situation.

"Could it be possible that the Jingzhou Army wanted to force a breakthrough?" Gan Ning suddenly frowned, "I underestimated Cai Tao's courage. It seems that I have to implement other tactics."

And at this moment, the Jingzhou Army's stern warships finally gathered to the forefront, and a full six stern warships with iron-clad bows were ready to go and set sail.

Wen Pin's arm was raised, and then it fell heavily: "Shock!"

Six warships obeyed the order, like six beasts slamming forward.

boom!

The sturdy and sharp bow of the battleship slammed into the Hengjiang cable. The huge impact force caused the chain in the hit to expand forward suddenly, showing an obtuse angle, and then the angle was gradually reduced and tied to the shore. The stakes were directly withdrawn from the soil and flew up to the sky, while the iron chain fell into the water.

The six sterns headed forward, rushing forward in an unstoppable manner, one iron chain, two iron chains, and seven or eight iron chains were directly broken and fell into the water.

However, after hitting eight iron chains in a row, the powerful counter-shock force forced the Battleship Stern to stop.

"Back, charge up and charge again!"

The two sterns with severely damaged bows retreated, and the remaining four sterns slowly withdrew to a certain distance, and then the oarsmen swept forward and rushed forward again.

boom!

The remaining four sterns were like a broken bamboo, and soon all the remaining iron chains were broken, and they rushed forward in a rush.

However, Gan Ning had issued a military order to order the entire army to retreat before the enemy began to attack the Hengjiang Railway. Therefore, the Jingzhou Army could only see the stern of the Jinfan Navy, but could not catch up for a while.
