There was a turmoil in the boats, which meant that the fleet had entered the Huai River from the water. The NPC sailors who followed the ship began to shout trumpets and paddled their oars through the openings on both sides of the cabin to keep the fleet swimming upstream.

"Helper, the fleet has entered the Huai River." Mosquito walked in and gave Jiang Zhuo a few pieces of information by the way.

The people under the mosquito and the [Tingfeng Hall] worked together, and finally found the [Shadow Mouse Hall] and most of the Dark War Regiment who had teleported away from the post station on the side of Runan County.

The post station is really a love-hate thing for the gang. Love is that they can use the post station to come to the battlefield they want to go to at any time, and hate this too, because the enemy can also come and go without a trace through the post station.

Fortunately, this time Jiang Zhuo and the others' fleet was going upriver on the Huai River, and the place where the enemy would appear was limited to a certain area, Jiang Zhuo felt that the enemy was most likely to set off from Runan County and meet Jiang Zhuo's fleet downstream, so he quickly found out the enemy's traces.

However, the news that came over made Jiang Zhuo frown again.

He didn't expect that [Helping the World] would have a relationship with the water bandits and bandits in Runan County, and even built a naval army base in a hidden water pool surrounded by reeds.

The inference that Jiang Zhuo had previously determined that the [Lingyun Palace's] naval army was already the strongest in the whole server had been overturned. The fleet of [Helping the World] has 12 hundred-stone warships and hundreds of warships.

Such a fleet combat power, even if it is a frontal battle, may overturn Jiang Zhuo's fleet. Because Jiang Zhuo's fleet was all merchant ships, not warships that could ram and had shields.

"It seems that you can only outwit, you can't fight hard..."Jiang Zhuo originally planned to lead the enemy into a Jedi or a place where fog barriers were rampant to strangle, but the success rate was not high, and the enemy could not all be fools.

Therefore, Jiang Zhuo's idea is that if the design can be successful, he will design it, if not, he will be responsible for cutting off the tail, Zhao Yun will be responsible for killing the head, and the enemy will be killed by attacking from both sides. As for the enemy's ships going down the river or possible fireboats, he could stop them by the cross-river iron cable.

But now the enemy's strength is somewhat beyond his expectations, such a huge fleet, one after another, even if he brings 10 iron cables, it is unlikely to resist, will be completely broken.

However, it is not so simple to outwit, and there are only a few strategies that can be used in water warfare, mainly fire attack. And this time, Jiang Zhuo's fleet did not have fireships specifically used to burn enemy ships, and all the ships were bulky and insensitive merchant ships, which was very troublesome.

After thinking about it, Jiang Zhuo issued an order, asking the fleet to stop ships in Tushan, dozens of miles away, for rectification.

The original destination of this trip was the ferry port [Maqiuju] in Dangtu County, which was less than 300 miles away from Shouchun City. After arriving at his destination, Zhao Yun will capture Maqiu Town and leave it behind. This was planned, as Jiang Zhuo was not sure if the enemy would attack on the first voyage or the next two times.

Now the flotilla suddenly stopped and reorganized, and it will definitely disrupt the enemy's position.

It is not necessary to take the waterway to transport grain, Tushan is also in Dangtu County, and there is no big problem in temporarily changing the station.

Then Jiang Zhuo went to Zhao Yun, told him about the situation, and asked him to get off the ship and reorganize the army. Stopping the ship at this position to reorganize the troops is very likely to attract Yuan Shu's attack, but Tu Mountain is not small, and when the time comes, hundreds of soldiers will go into the mountains and forests, and Yuan Shu will be useless even if the whole army attacks.

Zhao Yun agreed, anyway, the goal of this trip is to [help the world], and he doesn't really want to transport grain and grass anywhere. Of course, if you can, you can indeed help Liu Bei be a pioneer by the way.

......

Runan County has been in chaos since the Yellow Turban Uprising. There are at least hundreds of thousands of bandits and bandits in the huge territory, and it is a leveling treasure land similar to the Huaiyu Mountain Range.

Chaos has the benefits of chaos, and many forces have supported some bandits here in order to obtain a source of soldiers.

[Helping the world] is rich, and Du Hong's appetite is also greater than Jiang Zhuo. Jiang Zhuo just wanted to monopolize the Huaiyu Mountain Range, which was half the size of the county, while Du Hong wanted to monopolize the Rank-Leveling Treasure Land of Runan County, which was equivalent to five Huaiyu Mountain Ranges.

Here, he has cultivated 8 bandit forces, large and small, with more than 10,000 troops. It's just that these forces are in partnership with him, and if they want them to send troops, they have to give benefits.

One of the forces that Du Hong has fostered is the third largest water thief force in Runan County. There are twenty or thirty rivers in Runan County, large and small, and there are countless unknown streams.

In the place of [Da Lu Ting], the confluence of the Rushui River and the Water River, forming an island in the heart of the river. Because of the topography and climate, this Jiangxin Island is shrouded in fog barriers, and there are dense reeds on the periphery, which is a good natural naval base.

At this time, the little flying squirrel and He Shuyan had already entered Jiangxin Island by boat with reliable henchmen.

And their respective men and horses were driven to the place where the Rushui River flows into the Huai River downstream, and stationed there in a place called [Qisi County].

Little Squirrel and He Shuyan were already so cautious, but they still didn't expect the news to leak.

"The news has leaked, and I am afraid that there are spies in the hands of you and my henchmen." After the little flying squirrel received the news that Jiang Zhuo had stopped the ship, his face suddenly became gloomy. They were ready to leave the ship, take 20 minutes down the river to reach Qisi County, and another 30 minutes down the river to crush Jiang Zhuo's fleet.

With such a quick move, and they didn't tell their men what to do at all, the success rate was great. Unexpectedly, before he started to act, the news leaked.

"Not necessarily." He Shuyan shook his head, he still trusted his subordinates very much, "To be our henchman, we have passed at least 10 tests. And their family situation is generally not bad, and they will not sell their future for a little money.

This Jiangxin Island looks very hidden, but in fact, it has been shrouded in the fog barrier of the island, which is to tell others that there is a cat here.

When we came out of the Xincai County Post Station, if someone was targeted and saw us enter Jiangxin Island, that person would definitely know that there were secrets in Jiangxin Island. Is it difficult to sneak into Jiangxin Island to check the situation and report the information by yourself? ”

The flying squirrel thought about it and nodded. I thought of the water thieves on Jiangxin Island ten minutes ago, saying that there were underwater monsters attacking the fleet on their dock again, and they wanted to go into the water to drive away those monsters.

This matter is a bit of a coincidence, and now that I think about it, I'm afraid it was the person who sneaked into Jiangxin Island to attract it.

"In that case, let's just attack directly! With the strength of more than 10,000 people, plus such a powerful fleet, it is not easy to pack up a hundred merchant ships? "The little flying squirrel is very aggressive, "Anyway, our mission is to sabotage Hanjiang's grain transportation mission, as long as they don't succeed in transporting food, the helper can get a miscellaneous general position." ”

"Hmm..."He Shuyan thought about it, and there was no other way. If Hanjiang didn't dare to take the water transportation alone, it was likely to take the land transportation, and it was not far from the destination anyway, so they could only take the initiative.

"In that case, let's go. Be careful when you arrive, though, these ships are valuable and try not to lose them. ”
