271, General Pang is mighty

It turned out that at this time, the follow-up soldiers and horses of the Xionglu battalion led by Pang Yan also passed through the Turtle Snake Gorge by boat, and when he heard the movement on the side of the Turtle Snake Gorge Water Village, Pang Yan sent people to the Water Village to support Ling Cao, but on the other hand, he took the initiative to lead people to land on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and then rushed up the hillside on the west side of the Turtle Mountain.

At this moment, the attention of the soldiers and horses of Huang Zu on the mountain cliff was on the side of the snake mountain that connected to the water village, and there was no defense on the side of the turtle mountain, but Pang Yan led people to kill them with a two-headed mace, and there was almost no hindrance.

It was at this time that Pang Yan appropriately blocked the retreat of the remnants of Huang Zu.

Of course, after Pang Yan led people to rush up the cliff on this side of Turtle Mountain, Huang Zu's soldiers on the cliff of Snake Mountain began to despair.

Then Pang Yan also heard his own people shouting "Surrender, surrender", so Pang Yan also asked his subordinates on the other side to shout to the Huang Zu soldiers on the other side, "Surrender, surrender!" ”

Seeing that the soldiers of Huang Zu on the opposite side were still hesitant and hesitant, Pang Yan couldn't help but look at the cliff on the side of Turtle Mountain, and then looked at the two cliff fractures about ten steps away, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly.

"Well, if you don't wait, wait for when, and let a certain family let you know that a certain family is powerful!"

Then Pang Yan walked to the edge of the cliff, and with the force of his arms, he lifted a stone the size of a table, and soon lifted it above his head and threw it onto the cliff on the opposite bank.

"Uh......h Boom ......"

This stone, which was hundreds of catties, smashed down on the cliff on the opposite bank with a whining sound, and smashed a large pit more than two meters deep on the ground, making the surrounding Huang Zu soldiers dumbfounded.

"General Pang is mighty, General Pang is mighty!"

"Surrender! Surrender! ”

Among the more than 2,000 soldiers brought by Pang Yan, there were also more than 1,000 crossbowmen, holding the crossbow machine to the Huang Zu soldiers on the cliff on the opposite bank, shouting for Pang Yan's divine power while shouting at those Huang Zu soldiers.

Several military marquis who commanded the soldiers on the cliff of Snake Mountain were dumbfounded when they saw Pang Yan's strength, where did they dare to have anything else in mind, and after glancing at each other, they threw down the swords and soldiers in their hands one after another, and said, "We are willing to surrender!" We are willing to surrender! ”

So the soldiers on Pang Yan's side rushed along the trestle bridge connecting the two cliffs, and the soldiers led by Ling Cao over there also took the opportunity to rush up and take down the remnants of more than 1,500 soldiers and three military marquis in the Turtle and Snake Gorge.

With Pang Yan's Xionglu battalion capturing this Turtle and Snake Gorge, there is no danger to go to Xiling County, the old nest of Huangzu in Jiangxia.

Therefore, Pang Yan only occupied the Guisnake Gorge Water Village first, waiting for Zhu Wei's follow-up army to come up, but there are also official roads connecting from Exian County to Xiling County, so even if Zhu Wei's army lands here, they can also take the land official road from the north bank of the Yangtze River to Xiling County.

There may be a county in the middle of it, but this county is only a small county, and it can't hinder Zhu Wei's army.

Originally, the Yangtze River waterway and the official road on land were also convenient for Jiangxia Huangzu's soldiers and horses to quickly come to the aid of the Turtle and Snake Gorge Water Village through land and water, and the land and water were boats, but the land route could allow Huang Zu's more than 3,000 cavalry to come quickly.

But now that Zhu Wei has succeeded in sneaking up on the Turtle and Snake Gorge, Zhu Wei can also directly face Xiling County, Huang Zu's old nest, through both water and land directions.

Of course, this turtle and snake gorge water village is still a critical place, and Zhu Wei needs to send troops to stay behind, otherwise Su Fei and Gan Ning in Shaxian County, and even Cai Mao in Jiangling, and Liu Biao in Xiangyang can send troops down the river to recapture the turtle and snake gorge and block the retreat of Zhu Wei's army on the Yangtze River waterway.

According to Wang Yuyan's previous military strategic arrangement, this side of Turtle and Snake Gorge can also become Zhu Wei's water camp for this army to attack Jiangxia, so it is necessary to leave a soldier and horse here to rebuild the defensive aspect of the Turtle Snake Gorge Water Village, and change the focus of defense to the west side, so that it can also protect the retreat of Zhu Wei's army.

At the same time, on the side of the Turtle and Snake Gorge Water Village, Zhu Wei will also divide a part of the soldiers and horses to go to Xiling County by land, which is also to prevent Huang Zu's soldiers and horses from coming to fight the Turtle and Snake Gorge Water Village by land.

Of course, the main force on Zhu Wei's side will continue to take a boat west along the Yangtze River to Xiling County, after all, this can save the physical strength of the soldiers.

As for the laying of Xiling County, it is necessary to decide the next strategy according to the situation, so this Turtle and Snake Gorge Water Village is also of great significance in Wang Yuyan's arrangement.

Although the terrain of the Turtle and Snake Gorge is not suitable as a checkpoint for defending against the troops from Jingzhou, it can also be built into an important water fortress on the Yangtze River by building a new water village.

Now that Pang Yan occupied the Turtle Snake Gorge Water Village, he followed the strategy formulated by Wang Yuyan before, and first sat on the side of the Turtle Snake Gorge Water Village, waiting for Zhu Wei's main army to come up.

In this way, it can be ensured that Shuizhai will not be re-lost by Huang Zu's counterattack, but Pang Yan sent Ling Cao with 5,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and first advanced to Xiling County by land, and by the way, he went to capture Yi County, which was considered to prepare for the movement of the follow-up army.

Of course, when Pang Yan was on the side of the Turtle Snake Gorge Water Village, he also counted the captures of this battle, and the harvest was not small.

This Turtle and Snake Gorge Water Village is where the water army camp of Jiangxia Huangzu is located, and there are actually two medium-sized warships in the water village, which is a large warship that can accommodate a thousand people.

In addition, twenty light warships of the same scale as the light warships obtained from the water village in Qichun County were also captured, which was similar to the information that Zhu Wei had seen in Jiangxia City.

It is estimated that there are still three light ships that are either on the side of Su Fei and Gan Ning in Shaxian County, or they are driven back to Xiling County by Huang Shot.

For the official navy, the river boats that Zhu Wei is using now are only civilian boats, and when it comes to water warfare, it is easy to be burned by rockets and ignite the hull.

Therefore, the main force of the ships in this turtle and snake gorge water village is these real warships, and it has to be said that the naval forces on the Jingzhou side are still quite strong, not to mention the naval forces trained by Cai Mao on the Jiangling side, and the naval strength of Jiangxia Huangzu's side is not weak.

It was only because of the sneak attack on the water village that Huang Zu's naval army failed to exert its due combat effectiveness at all, and as a result, these medium-sized and light warships were captured without damage, but Zhu Wei was cheapened in vain, and Zhu Wei's Yangtze River water battle strength was improved out of thin air.

In fact, in addition to these warships that sail on inland rivers and lakes, there is also a super-large warship that can sail on the sea.

However, the construction of that kind of warship is more time-consuming, labor-intensive, expensive and expensive, and basically few people will build it, at least now there is no need for the Jingzhou Navy to build such a sea ship, and their warships are mainly needed for water warfare on the Yangtze River.

Well, Zhu Wei felt that he might be able to build such a super battleship that could sail on the sea in the future, but that would be after he took control of Jiangdong, and now he didn't even have the idea of building an ordinary battleship by himself, anyway, it would be enough to use these captured warships......
