Huang Zu was on a fighting ship, taking advantage of the night to highlight the encirclement of fishing nets on both sides of the strait, and headed towards the downstream port.

He had mixed feelings.

Remorseful.

Endless remorse.

Why did he let the fleet sail into the West River?

The topography of the Xihe River limited the combat effectiveness of the warships by more than 50 percent, especially the Lou Boat, which was invincible in the Han River, became a stranded target here and became the target of attack.

It's all because of greed.

He was just too greedy, and if it weren't for the greedy blinded eyes, he wouldn't have lost sight of this factor that limited the combat effectiveness of the warships in the West River.

He was too confident, too.

The self-confidence in his own fleet led to the almost total annihilation of the elite fleet he had built with all his financial resources in Jiangxia.

The riverbed of the West River is too narrow compared to the Han River, and the two banks face the river, which already has a large attack distance, which is why the soldiers on land can entangle with the warships on the river.

This is a war after self-restraint, and there is no blame for defeat.

"Lord Taishou, as long as we rush out, we still have hope!" Chen didn't know how to appease Huang Zu, but now, he could only find a way to rush out.

"Hurry up!"

Huang Zu cleaned up his mood, he could start again if he was defeated, if he died here, everything would be gone.

"It's time to enter Hanshui!"

Several warships saw hope.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

A fleet rushed down from the upper reaches of the Han River and went straight downstream.

The leader is Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao's Jingping Second Army went and returned, just to prevent leaky fish, their fleet divided into two queues, gambled from both upstream and downstream, blocked the entrance to the West River, and wiped out the Jiangxia army.

"Kill!"

Zhang Liao's fighting ships went on a rampage.

"I'm dead!"

Huang Zu cried out angrily.

"Ship array, lock the river!" With a low shout, from a reed swing at the downstream entrance, more than ten warships charged out, lined up with warships, and blocked the position of the downstream mouth to meet the Hanshui mouth.

"Is it Su Fei?"

"We're saved!"

"Evacuate!"

The remnants of the warships of the Jiangxia army came out of the downstream mouth, one after another, quickly broke away from the downstream mouth, and went downstream in the Han River.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Liao didn't expect that the Jiangxia army actually had an ambush army, although there were not many soldiers and not many warships, but the formation was peculiar, and among the stacked warships, they couldn't rush through at all.

"Rush again!" Zhang Liao shouted angrily.

"Rush!"

"Rush!"

Countless Jingping naval warships violently attacked this line of defense on this day.

"Lord Taishou, evacuate quickly!" Su Fei jumped over from a shipwreck and said in a deep voice: "Han Shui can't stay, even General Zhang Shuo on the shore is in big trouble now, he is being blocked by the herdsmen, and he can't withdraw at all, we must leave as soon as possible, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out!" ”

"Shepherd Dragon Map!"

Huang Zu gritted his teeth, he had never hated a person so much, but now he hated this young male lord to the bones, and the Jiangxia elite he built was almost lost in this battle.

"Withdraw!"

But Huang Zu is a very calm person, as long as he is alive, the Huang clan is still there, and Jiang Xia is still there, he has a chance to make a comeback: "Pass my military order, order everyone, and withdraw Yanshan!" ”

"No!"

A few heralds went to give orders.

………………

The West River, in the middle of the river.

A building boat was surrounded by many boats, shrouded in countless fishing nets, large and small, and it was moored in the middle, unable to move at all.

As soon as the Jiangxia army dispersed, the herdsmen immediately stopped attacking, and quickly extinguished the fire, captured some Jiangxia soldiers on the warships, and also took down many damaged warships.

The biggest harvest is naturally the building boat.

Jingping's Second Army, as a herding army sailor, does not have a building ship now, which has always been a pity.

"How's the situation with the ship?" Mu Jing walked on the deck of the building ship, in this era, it is absolutely ingenious to be able to build such a building ship, no wonder how Hanzhong researched, those shipwrights did not have the courage to build a building ship.

"It's a lot of damage!"

Chen Gong reported: "I have asked some sailors to inspect it, we have beaten too hard, the cabin, the bow, the sliding bar, and the defensive equipment are all seriously damaged, and they must be overhauled!" ”

"Overhaul is overhaul!"

A smile rose at the corner of Mu Jing's mouth: "Gongtai, it's not just about overhauling, you send an order back to Gongcao, and order them to gather the most elite shipbuilders to collectively study this building ship and see if it can be imitated!" ”

That's the most important thing.

A building ship is nothing, if Hanzhong can make a building ship, the navy will have an absolute guarantee.

"No!"

Chen Gong nodded.

"Lord, Zhang Liao didn't block the remnants of Jiangxia, they broke through and went downstream!" Huo Yu came up to report.

"Didn't block it?"

Mu Jing frowned.

"Although the Second Army is waiting for the rabbit, I didn't expect the Jiangxia Army to arrange a support army, and the ambush of the Inverted Second Army fell short, and most of the Jiangxia warships were raided out!"

"Chase!"

Mu Jing ordered and said, "Give me a hard chase, I must take down Huang Zu!" “

"No!"

"Zhou Cang, tell him that the Jiangxia soldiers must be surrounded to death, this time there is a great opportunity If we can't eat the Jiangxia army before Xiangyang reacts, we won't be able to attack Xiangyang City next!"

"Yes!"

A few orders went down, but Mu Jing was still not at ease.

"I personally led the army in pursuit!"

"Lord!" Huang Zhong objected.

"This battle is crucial!" Mu Jing was very resolute: "Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, Chen Gong, the three of you come to clean up the battlefield and defend Xiangyang, I will personally lead the troops to pursue, and try my best to eat the Jiangxia army with Zhang Liao as soon as possible!" ”

As he spoke, he directly got on a fighting ship, led the three hundred soldiers of the Modao Battalion, and went down the river under the escort of more than ten warships.

……

"Still chasing?" Huang Zu became more and more irritable.

There were less than 5,000 soldiers left, more than 60 large and small warships, most of which were shipwrecked, and less than 10 fighting ships remained.

This battle can be regarded as crippling the Jiangxia army.

"Our soldiers are tired, and the ships are a little damaged, big and small, and the speed is insufficient, so it is difficult to get rid of them!"

Su Fei said in a low voice.

"Get out of the Tanxi Waterway and enter Yanshan!"

Huang Zu turned his heart sideways, and there was a touch of resoluteness in his eyes: "After entering Yanshan, give up the warship, go up the mountain with the whole army, and defend with the help of Yanshan!" ”

If the pursuit continues like this, the shepherd army can hold it, but he can't hold it.

It is necessary to find a place to defend.

"Yes!"

The generals have no opinion, at this time there are warships and there are no warships, it is like this, as long as you can get rid of the pursuit of the herdsmen, everything is fine.

The next day at noon.

Mu Jing and Zhang Liao meet on the water.

"Lord, why are you here?" Zhang Liao was surprised.

"Can't I come?"

Mu Jing put his hands behind his back: "How is the situation?" ”

Since last night, they have pursued all the way from Hanshui, and then entered Tanxi, and from Tanxi into another waterway, in this intricate water, Zhang Liao bit the remnants of the Jiangxia army, which is a big progress.

"They're in the Inkstone!"

Zhang Liao pointed to the mountain in front of him and replied.

"Yanshan?"

Mu Jing's eyes flashed slightly.
