Liu Xiu's edict allowed Cen Peng to firmly control the dominance of the water war.

Cen Peng gathered troops and horses at Jingmen, went upstream, and launched a large-scale water battle with the Shu army along the Yiling coast.

In this water battle, the Han army had the advantage in strength, but the ships of the Han army, both in quantity and quality, were far inferior to the Shu army.

The water battle was also unusually tragic, with ships on both sides coming and going on the river, colliding from time to time, and loud rumbling noises were heard endlessly.

When the ships collided together, the soldiers on the deck fired at each other with crossbows, and a large number of soldiers rushed to kill the opposing ships with swords in one hand and shields in the other.

During the fight, the soldiers who fell from the deck in the river were like dumplings.

On the surface of the river around the boat, a layer of bright red corpses floated.

Water battles are more dangerous than land battles, because there is a battle on the ship, and there is also a war underwater, and the water ghosts on both sides are fighting underwater.

Once the ship is scuttled or burned, there are basically not a few people alive in this entire boat.

After only a few rounds of fighting, the casualties of the soldiers on both sides were more than 10,000.

Wu Han, who was watching the battle on the shore, was also dumbfounded, and it didn't take a cup of tea for a warship to go up, and it took no time for a cup of tea to ignite a raging fire.

The sailors on board, either covered in fire or covered with arrows, jumped into the river screaming, and only a few ups and downs on the surface of the river, after which they were no longer visible.

The water war between the two sides is like a giant meat grinder, as if it wants to tear everything on the river to pieces.

Seeing that the casualties of his own soldiers were getting bigger and bigger, but he couldn't open the situation for a long time, Cen Peng was also anxious.

He looked at the generals around him and asked in a loud voice, "Who wants to lead a team and storm the enemy's ship formation?" ”

You must know that the ships of the Shu army are larger than those of the Han army, and there are many of them, and it is undoubtedly a life of nine deaths to attack the enemy's ship formation.

Just when everyone was silent, a general stepped out of the ranks and said loudly: "General, the last general is willing to lead the team to charge and kill the enemy camp!" ”

Cen Peng fixed his eyes and saw that the one who came out to invite Ying was the partial general Lu Qi.

Lu Qi is not an infantry general, but a naval general, and his ability to fight water is second to none in the Han army.

After a moment of silence, Cen Peng said: "General Lu, I just need you to lead your troops to disrupt the enemy formation and create an opportunity for the main force of our army to counterattack in an all-round way!" ”

"The last will understand! Please give the order of the General! ”

Cen Peng nodded solemnly, and then assigned Lu Qi to form a death squad, thousands of sailors, dozens of ships, and more than 200 people in the run.

Lu Qi led this Han army death squad and sailed at full speed towards the Shu army ship array.

There are two main generals of the Shu army, one is Tian Rong, and the other is the expiration of his term.

Tian Rong is the chief general of the naval army, and he is the chief general of the infantry at the end of his term.

At present, the Shu army that fought the water war with Cen Peng was led by Tian Rong.

The Shu army stationed in Yiling was led by Ren Man.

Seeing a Han army ship rushing towards his own position, Tian Rong couldn't help laughing, pointed to the dozens of small warships of the Han army, and said with a smile: "The Han thieves came to send them to death!" ”

Hearing his words, the surrounding Shu army generals also laughed on their backs.

The Han ships led by Lu Qi were extremely fast, although they were swimming against the current.

In particular, the dozen or so small boats at the front seemed to fly as they drove on the river.

On the Shu army's side, more than ten large warships were dispatched to intercept it.

When the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the arrows on the deck of the big ship rained down, and countless arrows covered the Han army's small boat, and in the blink of an eye, the hull of the Han army's small boat seemed to grow a layer of reed grass.

But this did not slow down the speed of the small boats, and more than a dozen small boats scattered and went straight to the big battle of more than ten Shu troops.

For a while, I heard the loud rumbling sound endlessly.

The bow of the small boat slammed into the hull of the big ship, and the bow was deeply inserted into the hull of the big ship, and then the small boat was in flames, and soon the fire burned from the small boat to the big ship.

What the Shu army didn't know was that these small boats were here to send them to death, and the cabin had already been filled with an altar of fire oil, and the fire was burning and could not be extinguished by watering.

The more than ten large war ships that came to intercept, without exception, all caught fire, and many Shu sailors screamed and jumped from the deck into the river.

Tian Rong and the other Shu generals standing on the deck of the main battle ship saw it clearly, and their faces no longer had the ridicule just now, but one by one was more gloomy.

The Han army's tactics of ending up together are really unexpected, and the Han army undoubtedly took advantage of more than ten small boats in exchange for more than ten ships of the Shu army.

When the ships behind the Han death squad rushed up, the warships of the Shu army were afraid and did not dare to continue to move forward, but turned around one after another, intending to retreat.

However, the large warships turned around and retreated, which took time, and the Han army death squad did not give them this time.

The Han ships approached the Shu ships, and the Han soldiers threw the hook locks onto the decks of the Shu warships, and then the people climbed along the ropes to the Shu warships.

After coming up, the soldiers of both sides immediately fought in one place.

Among the Han army's death squads, the one who took the lead in the charge was Ben Minglang.

Ben Minglang held the ring head knife and slaughtered into the Shu army, it was really like a tiger entering a flock, killing the oncoming Shu soldiers one after another.

The warships of the Shu army, under the charge of Lu Qi's death squad, the formation was in chaos, and Cen Peng, who commanded the overall situation behind, saw the opportunity and commanded all his own naval forces to charge forward.

In fact, even now, the Shu army still has the upper hand on the ships, but the Shu army sailors led by Tian Rong were completely blinded by Lu Qi, the Han army death squad.

Seeing that his ship's formation was in chaos, and Cen Peng led the main force to attack and kill, Tian Rong panicked and hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat to the west bank.

Tian Rong's order is too terrible! As soon as the Shu water army withdrew, the pontoon bridge on the river bank west of Yiling was exposed.

Yiling is located on the east bank of the Yangtze River, and the west of Yiling is the Yangtze River.

This pontoon bridge is not only convenient for the Shu army to deliver logistical supplies to Yiling, but also convenient for the Yiling Shu army to retreat in time when the war is unfavorable.

It didn't matter if Tian Rong led his troops to escape, this vital pontoon bridge was completely exposed.

Lu Qi originally planned to pursue the Shu army, but after seeing this pontoon bridge, he immediately changed his mind, led his troops to rush to the front of this pontoon bridge, sprinkled all the fire oil loaded on the pontoon bridge, and then set the pontoon bridge on fire.

This fire burned the pontoon bridge clean.

Without this pontoon bridge, Tian Rong ran away with the navy again, stationed in Yiling, and the Shu army led by Ren Wan suddenly became a lonely army.

Fighting water warfare, Wu Han is indeed a layman, but fighting land warfare and siege warfare is Wu Han's strength.

Hearing the news of the destruction of the Yiling pontoon bridge, Wu Han was overjoyed and immediately led his troops to launch an all-out onslaught on Yiling.

At the end of his term in Yiling City, the eighteenth generation of Tian Rong's ancestors did not know how many times they had been greeted.

If you want to run, but the prophet will say to me, and you will run after I lead the troops to evacuate Yiling, and now you have run, the pontoon bridge has been destroyed, and I am left alone, how to deal with it?

When Ren Man was still scolding Tian Rong in his heart, the Han army led by Wu Han arrived outside Yiling City.

Subsequently, Wu Han waved the Han army and launched an attack on Yiling.

The Shu army, led by the expiration of his term, was not a small number, with a strength of about 30,000.

The 30,000 Shu army, with the support of city defense, should not be at a disadvantage to deal with the more than 30,000 Han troops led by Wu Han.

But in fact, after the pontoon bridge was burned down, the military spirit of the Shu army has been in chaos, for the Shu army, the pontoon bridge is gone, which is equivalent to the back road is gone, and now, they seem to be trapped and killed on the east bank of the river.

In the case of the army's confusion and low morale, even though he led his troops to resist the siege of the Han army desperately, it was still useless.

The Han army under the leadership of Wu Han was attacking like a tide, one after another, and the powerful impact was transformed into a powerful pressure, which made the Shu army breathless.

30,000 Han troops attacked Yiling, where 30,000 Shu troops were stationed, and in two hours, the Han army broke through the city defense.

The speed of the Han army is so fast, and the Han army that Wu Han led is so fierce.

Tearing through the city defenses, the Han army outside the city poured into the city like a tide.

Even if the Han army breaks the city now, if the Shu army is not distracted and fights to the death with the Han army, it will still have the strength to fight.

But there was no if on the battlefield, and the battle of Yiling had completely become a one-sided situation, and the Han army that entered the city was like a tiger out of the cage, chasing the Shu army that fled in a hurry.

It took two hours for the Han army to break the city, and it took only two hours for the Han army to fully occupy the entire Yiling City.

30,000 Shu troops were completely annihilated by the Han army! Even the chief general of the Shu army, who served as the chief situ in the court of Chengjia, failed to run away and was beheaded by the Han army in the chaos.

It is true that Yiling was attacked by Wu Han, but the main reason for the complete victory in the battle of Yiling was that it was fought well in the water battle of Cen Peng.

Cen Peng first defeated Tian Rong, causing the Yiling pontoon bridge to be exposed under the noses of the Han army, and the pontoon bridge was destroyed, which directly led to the chaos of the Yiling Shu army, giving Wu Han a good opportunity to conquer Yiling in one fell swoop.

In this battle, the vitality of the Shu army was greatly damaged, not only the expiration of the term of office of the great Situ, but also the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, including nearly 100 large and small warships.

After the Battle of Yiling, the Shu army no longer had a foothold in Nanjun, and did not dare to continue to stay in Nanjun, and the Shu army was defeated on all fronts and fled in the direction of Yizhou.

Cen Peng and Wu Han's great victory in Namgun soon spread to Hanyang.

Not long ago, Geng Yi said very firmly that after Wu Han arrived in Nanjun, the Shu army would be defeated, even though the Shu army had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Nanjun, but it would be wiped out in an instant.

Although Cen Peng was the first contributor to the Battle of Yiling, the Shu army was indeed defeated very quickly, and it was a mess.

Cen Peng is currently leading the Southern Expeditionary Army and the Naval Army, pursuing the fleeing Shu Army with all his might, and it is estimated that he will soon kill out of Nanjun and advance to Yizhou.

And on Hanyang's side, there is still no progress! Geng Yi met with Lai She and Gai Yan again, and he took the initiative to propose that since Lai She and Gai Yan both advocated a steady and steady battle, and he himself advocated a surprise army, then they would act separately, and both sides would send troops at the same time.

There was a disagreement between the tactics of Lai She and Geng Yi, the two talked for a long time, and it was really awkward to fight together, and finally Lai Xi decided to adopt Geng Yi's strategy, he and Gai Yan led their troops to fight Wudu County, and Geng Yi led their troops to attack Hanzhong.

Let's say that Lai She and Gai Yan, the two led their troops from Hanyang into Wudu County.

At present, Wang Yuan, who fled to Gongsun Shu, is in Wudu, and he is ordered by Gongsun Shu to defend Wudu County with Huan'an.

Knowing that Laishe and Gaiyan had entered Wudu County, Wang Yuan and Huan'an were both shocked, and immediately sent a letter to Chengdu to ask Gongsun Shu to send troops to rescue.

The current Gongsun Shu is already in a hurry, and after his own side invaded Nanjun, he successively captured Wuxian, Yiling, Lingdao and other important places, and was in an all-round advantageous situation.

Suddenly, the peaks and loops turned, and their own side changed from a comprehensive advantage to a comprehensive rout.

What made Gongsun Shu even more sad was that Da Situ died in Yiling when his term of office expired.

The expiration of the term is the confidant minister of Gongsun Shu, who is both capable and loyal to him, and the death of the expiration of the term is like cutting off one of his arms, can Gongsun Shu not be heartbroken?

Their own rout in Nanjun on all fronts, and the rout seems to be pouring into Yizhou, which has made Gongsun Shu anxious, and now, Lai She, Gai Yan led the Han army, invaded Wudu, Wudu is in a hurry, he has no troops to send.
