After listening to the soldiers' words, Ma Tan muttered: "Our army controls the Han River, and the Wei army has no boats, and there are thousands of boats, which must have been given by Jiangdong." Last night, Lu Xun led his troops to attack, which must have been to send ships to the Wei army.

Wen Ping led his troops into Hanshui, he must have wanted to go against the current and kill to Fancheng, this guy is not going to die in order to understand the danger of Nanyang? ”

A general arched his hand and said: "General, there are no soldiers in Fancheng, and the prince is in Fancheng, if the Wei army kills Fancheng, the consequences must be unimaginable. ”

Hearing this, Ma Tan asked, "How many soldiers and horses do you think you can lead and how many warships can defeat the Wei army?" ”

The general of the Han army said in a deep voice: "The Wei army has several thousand marches, and its soldiers and horses should be about 10,000 to 15,000. Our army has only 30,000 troops in Xiakou, and we have to guard against Jiangdong, so we can only draw 5,000 people at most.

However, the Wei army's soldiers and horses were mostly landlubbers, and although they were not seasick, they could not fight on the river. Therefore, only 3,000 soldiers and horses will be needed for the final general.

As for the warship, although the fighting ship is powerful, its speed cannot catch up with the boat, and only the boat can catch up with the hazy rush. It's just that the number of our army is not much, and if we use them, I am afraid that it will be difficult to annihilate the Wei army, so the last general can carry a hazy warship. ”

The Han army is still far inferior to Jiangdong in the shipbuilding industry, and Jingzhou's current strategy is to garrison, and it does not want to expose the strength of the naval army too early, so that Jiangdong will be more vigilant and increase the difficulty of attacking Jiangdong in the future, so Jiangxia's side has always shown the enemy to be weak, and the naval army's warship reserves are very small.

The draft of the boat was basically the same, and the soldiers of the Han army were better at controlling the balance of the ships than the Wei army, so as long as they shook the pulp, they were sure to catch up with the Wei army.

It's just that the Han army is in Xiakou, and the reserves of the boat are only 500 ships, which is too small, even if all of them are used, they can only bring 2,500 mothers-in-law. This point of strength, even if the Han army has the advantage of water, it is very likely that it will not take much advantage in the face of the Wei army, and it is not necessarily that it will be annexed by the Wei army.

Therefore, if you want to pursue the Wei army, you can only use the hazy chong, the hazy rush warship is also known for its speed, it is not difficult to catch up with the Wei army, and it is a large warship, the two ships collide, it is easy to sink the boat, so as long as the command is right, it is not a problem to defeat the Wei army.

"Hmm!" After listening to the general's analysis, Ma Tan nodded and said, "You are right, Li Fang, the general will give you thirty hazy warships, and immediately sail to the Han River to pursue the Wei army." ”

"No!" When Li Fang, the general of the navy, heard this, he immediately went down to order troops to prepare for the expedition.

In the evening, the soldiers and horses were ready, and Li set out from Shuizhai and led his troops towards the Han River.

At this moment, Wen Ping had already walked for almost half a night and a day, and if he wanted to catch up with Wen Ping, even if the speed of the hazy warship was fast, it was not easy, so Li Fang could only let the soldiers desperately rock the oars and speed up as much as possible.

On the other hand, Lu Xun also learned that Ma Jian sent troops to pursue Wenpin.

Knowing that Ma Tan had sent thirty hazy warships, Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief: "Thirty hazy warships were sent, that's good." The hazy draft is not small, it will definitely be blocked by the shipwreck, if Ma Tan changes to pursue, this will delay a day or two, if you want to catch up with Wen Ping, this is impossible. There are not many soldiers and horses in Fancheng, and 10,000 soldiers and horses are enough to take Fancheng in one day. ”

However, it was said that Li Fang, led 30 Hazy Rush warships, pursued the Wei army overnight, and traveled until midnight, and had entered the Han River for more than 50 miles.

The soldiers rowed desperately, and the warship was moving rapidly on the river, when suddenly a loud click was heard, and the warship shook for a while, and then stopped.

The ships did not go hand in hand, with five ships in front and the rest in the rear, and the five ships at the front came to a halt at about the same moment.

"What's going on!" Li Fang walked out of the cabin and came to the splint.

The soldiers lit torches and lit the river red.

The soldier ran out and said to Li Fang, "General, the ship seems to be running aground." ”

Li Fang shouted angrily when he heard this: "Stranded, the Han River is wide and bottomless, and we are in the heart of the river, which door is shallow?" Send a few soldiers out into the water to see what the hell is going on! ”

When several soldiers heard this, they immediately took off their armor and jumped into the river, and the soldiers went into the water, but after a while they stood up, and they were on the water from the chest up.

One of the soldiers said, "General, there are sunken boats down here, and our way is blocked." ”

Li Fang slapped the female wall on the wall when he heard this, and said angrily: "Damn, Jiangdong gave more warships to Wen, and let Wenren hire in Shenjiang to block the way of our army." First return the warship and clear the sunken ship underneath. ”

Subsequently, the Han ships slowly retreated, but four of the five warships retreated, and one warship was stuck because it wanted to continue moving forward when it ran aground, and it was stuck in a dilemma.

After retreating, Li ordered the soldiers to go into the water and find a way to clean up the wreck.

Hundreds of soldiers went into the water, and after a long time, they swam back one after another, and said to Li Fang: "No, general, this warship is too heavy, we can't move it at all, and the Wei army also connected the warship with a wooden shovel, and now the warships are stuck together, and they can't be shaken at all." If you want to get over, you can only send more people and use the cauldron chisel to smash the warship little by little. ”

A single soldier could not move the warship at all, not to mention that some of the warships were still connected by wooden shovels, so if they wanted to pass, they had to go into the water and smash the warship with an axe.

It's just that the amount of work is too large, and people who are good at water can hold their breath in the water for a maximum of three or five minutes, slowly smash the warship with an axe, and come out for ventilation after a few splits, how much time does it take to clear a way? It will take at least two or three days.

If you wait for two or three days, I'm afraid that the daylily will be cold.

Li Fang was helpless, so he had to order: "Return to Xiakou quickly, and take a boat to pursue." ”

The warship turned around and headed in the direction of Xiakou again.

Walk until dawn, and then return to Xiakou.

Ma Tan got the news and came to the water village in Hanshui to greet Li Fang: "Li Fang, why are you back!" ”

Li Fang replied: "General, the Wei army has been prepared for a long time, they have sunk a large number of warships into the water, I have a large draft, and I can't get through the sunken ships, and it will take two or three days to clear the sunken ships." Therefore, the last general came back and wanted to take a boat to pursue the Wei army. ”

Listening to Li Fang's words, Ma Yan's face turned pale: "Wen Ping has been gone for a day and a night, and if he wants to chase him, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up!" But no matter what, we can't sit idly by, you quickly use all the boats, and immediately pursue the Wei army. ”

"No!"

Li Fang didn't have time to rest, so he immediately gathered all the troops in the army and pursued the Wei army instead.
