"Report! Unfortunately, the Han army from the lower reaches suddenly attacked. At this time, it is less than a hundred miles away from the mouth of the lake."

Jiangdong spies rushed to Chaisang in panic and reported the news to Gu Yong, who had just returned.

"What! Why did the Han army come so fast? That is most of Jingxiang's territory. Even if there are no guards, it will take at least several months for them to completely occupy it.

Unless those people not only showed no resistance, but directly defected to the Han army. "

Gu Yong's face turned pale, this was terrible.

If the small families below defected one after another, they alone would not have the strength to fight the Han army.

At this time, we can only hope that Cai Mao and others can quickly capture Xiangyang and open up the road to the west.

If that doesn't work, he can still flee to Yizhou and join Liu Zhang.

The idea is always beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.

Not to mention taking Xiangyang, Cai Mao and others discovered that something was wrong when they reached Maicheng.

The Han navy's navy crossed the river with iron cables and used hundreds of warships to block the Xiangjiang River with water.

Rows of hideous crossbows lined up across the warship, each crossbow arrow is as good as a spear.

Not to mention people, not even warships can stop the crossbow's attack.

As long as a few volleys are fired, Jiang Dongjun will definitely be given an unforgettable memory.

This is the best way Guan Yu can think of to deal with Jiang Dongjun.

Since the number of soldiers in your hand cannot match many, then use money to kill them.

Bed crossbows are expensive to build, and generally speaking, they are only built when some important cities are defending.

Hundreds of crossbows were lined up one after another, and the huge psychological pressure created was enough to stop Jiangdong's army from moving forward.

"Ah this~"

Cai Mao stood on the main ship, looking at the blocked river in the distance and hundreds of crossbows that had been cocked and waiting, with an ugly expression on his face.

If we charge forward forcefully, there will definitely be a lot of casualties.

Moreover, after the iron cable crosses the river, those warships are equivalent to land, and the Han army will definitely be able to exert greater strength on them.

It is also very simple to crack it. Just like last time, just send warships to rush forward regardless of casualties, and then set it on fire.

But Cai Mao couldn't do that this time.

Because he had to capture Xiangyang within a limited time, otherwise the rear would be lost, and they, like the remnants of Sun Jian, would become lonely ghosts floating on the river.

"What's the difficulty?"

Lu Jun took a quick look and didn't see anything interesting.

Although the Bed Crossbow has high attack power, it refills too slowly. As long as casualties are not considered, it is still very easy to attack.

He didn't know why Cai Mao looked so ugly.

"The Han army is forcing us to land and fight with him!"

Cai Mao said with a bitter look on his face.

The Han army had already used this trick last time, but he didn't take any more precautions.

I originally thought of catching them off guard, but at this moment it seemed that the other party was well prepared.

This is obviously the burial place prepared for myself.

If I had known better, I shouldn't have waded into this muddy water.

It's too late to regret!

On the other side, on the Han navy warship.

Huang Zu, Huo Jun, and Wenpin looked at the approaching Jiangdong Army from a distance.

"Do you think if Cai Mao saw us, he would be so frightened that he would pee his pants?"

Wenpin asked with a smile.

"With his courage, he might be scared to death on the spot. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Jingzhou is his brother-in-law, a coward like him would be worthy of becoming the commander of the Jingxiang Navy."

Huang Zu agreed.He had long been unhappy with Cai Mao.

If it weren't for this flattering villain who relied on nepotism to get to the top, he should have become a reputable existence in Jing Xiang.

Why did he serve as the governor of Jiangxia for so many years?

"It wouldn't be fun if he was scared to death. I hope he can hold on a little longer and not die so quickly."

Huo Jun said with a serious expression.

He used to be one of Liu Biao's more trusted generals until Cai Mao appeared.

Huo Jun was not only marginalized, he was kicked out of Xiangyang and rushed to a remote place to garrison the city.

This is why Huo Jun surrendered without hesitation after Liu Xie regained Jingzhou.

He wanted to kill Cai Mao more than anyone else, but he had no chance of revenge before.

Now that he finds this opportunity, Cai Mao must also feel the suffering he has experienced over the years.

"It's possible. General Guan has spent a lot of money this time. As long as they dare to take a step forward, they will die without a burial place. We, the people, can just watch from a distance.

If a war really breaks out, it will have nothing to do with us. "

Wenpin stroked his beard and sighed.

……

"Boom~"

Without the navy as an obstacle, Yuzhang, Jianchang, Hukou, Poyang... in just seven days...

Except for Chaisang and Jiujiang, all nearby cities were captured by the Han army.

These two places did not hold out for a few days. When the defenders saw the densely packed Han troops outside, they opened the city gates at night and forced the Han troops to enter.

And Gu Yong had already fled to Jiangxia before the battle started.

After all, he was just a scholar and was not good at water fighting. In order to save his life, he ran away early.

"It doesn't matter, as long as Wuchang and Huangzhou are defended, Jiangxia will not be breached."

Although Zhu Zhi was panicking inside, he still pretended to be calm and calm on the surface.

"Having said that, have you ever thought about one thing, what if you can't keep it?"

Gu Yong is now completely disappointed with Jiangdong's military power.

If these people could hold on, the Han army would not attack.

It’s unreliable to rely on them, so it’s better to think of a way out as soon as possible.

"What can we do? Go to Nanjun. Otherwise, where else can we go?"

Zhu Zhi said angrily.

In less than a month, the territory in his hands has shrunk by seven or eight times. How can he accept this?

"Nanjun! What is the use of Nanjun without the Young Emperor? Moreover, this time the Han army came from the east, not from the north. Do you think Nanjun can stop it?"

Gu Yong now felt that there was no safe place in Jiangdong. No matter where it was, it would be easily captured by the Han army.

"Then where do you want to go? Or is there any way?"

Zhu Zhi was also in a state of confusion at this moment. From the moment the Han army unlocked Baiyue's strange poison, he knew that this battle was hopeless.

I don’t want to struggle anymore at this moment.

As long as you can survive, you can do anything.

"Yizhou, at this moment, only Yizhou can accommodate us. Take away all the gold and silver that we can. If Yizhou is not reliable, you can go to Liangzhou. Otherwise, leave Dahan and go all the way west. Western Region.

There is always a place for us in the vastness of the world. "

Gu Yong didn't want to stay here any longer.

I always feel that the next second the Han army will fall from the sky and take off my head.

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
