"Okay, let the old general go down and rest."

After Chunyu Liang found out the situation of Jiankang and the general situation of Huang Faqi's troops' attack on Jingkou, Bu Sengnian lost interest in him and waved his hand and asked someone to take him down.

He still has a lot of things to do now, and he has no time to spend on this old man, so he can only provide food and drinks for him first, and then order someone to send him back to Kuaiji later.

As for how to deal with it in the future, it is not something he needs to consider.

However, the old man is over 60 years old. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't have much time to live. Moreover, he is useless to the Han family army, so it would be better to let him return to Jiankang.

Bu Sengnian thought for a while, sat down and picked up a pen to write a letter to Han Duan, reporting on the battle situation last night one by one, and attached his own opinions behind it, and then ordered people to send the letter to Jiande in a Clipper.

Although the Chen army was defeated last night, the war was not completely over. In the dark, a large number of defeated soldiers still escaped. It would be fine if they fled back to Jiankang, but if they fled to the four townships, it would be a disaster for the people.

The defeated soldiers who have lost the constraints of military discipline have a destructive power far exceeding those of the bandits and rivers. Even if they cannot be arrested in all cases, they must be driven away in the shortest time.

The captured surrendered soldiers must also be placed as soon as possible. He cannot make the decision on how to resettle him, but before the above orders come down, he must send these prisoners back to Qu Ayanjia for custody, and no mistake can be made.

After everything was arranged, Bu Sengnian immediately led his army to Jingkou.

The great defeat of Chunyuliang and the removal of the threat of breaking the direction of the Gangdu are just the beginning. Whether you can defeat Huangfabang and keep the canal waterway unobstructed is the top priority!

However, it is easy to defend Jingkou, and it is not ordinary difficult to defeat the Chen State naval army and keep the waterways open.

The Chen State has repeatedly used troops over the years, and many soldiers were injured, but most of the casualties were infantry, while in terms of the navy, whether it was people or ships, the losses were minimal.

Today, the Chen State navy still has hundreds of golden-winged ships, Peaceful ships, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers who were on the ship as if they were on the flat ground.

In comparison, the navy of the Han family army is not only not as good as the number of warships and sergeants, but also has a much worse combat effectiveness.

After all, the Han family's naval army has been established for less than two years, and it has never experienced a real water battle. However, the Chen State naval army has been through a long battle formation and is the foundation of the establishment of the Chen State.

Han Duan had already known this. After learning that Chen and Zhou were discussing peace, and the Chen navy retreated to Jiankang, he ordered Bu Sengnian to step up the construction of fortresses in Jingkou, building poles, catapults, crossbows and other weapons, and to do his best to block the enemy from the river.

In the afternoon of that day, Bu Sengnian arrived at Jingkou.

As soon as I got off the boat, I saw Jiang Fa who had been waiting for a long time.

"Congratulations to the general manager for getting another new contribution!"

Jiang Fa, He Chen and other generals came forward with a smile and bowed, Bu Sengnian also had a smile on his face: "This time, Chen's army was invading three times, and now there are two routes of Jingkou and Jiande left. The lord must have nothing to do with him, and he is afraid of Jingkou."

"Huanji (Jiang Fa's name), will Huang Fa have any attacks in the past two days?"

As soon as Huang Faxian was talking about, Jiang Fa and others immediately stopped their smiles.

A few days ago, Huang Faqi led 50,000 boat troops to raid Jingkou, but was discovered early by the Han family's mail ship. Huang Faqi failed to attack and changed to a strong attack. The Han family's army relied on the newly built fortress, slapped poles, catapults, and crossbows to fight hard for half a day before they repelled it.

However, Chen's army did not retreat to Jiankang, but built a water camp in Jiangxinzhou west of Jingkou, trying to wait for an opportunity to attack Jingkou.

Relying on powerful water forces, Chen Jun completely blocked the river surface near Jingkou, and from time to time sent small boats to the river bank to harass the river. Jingkou defenders passively defended and could not go out of the river to pursue. After a few days, the generals felt deeply aggrieved.

"It's true as the lord expected!"

When Bu Sengnian heard this, he was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "My lord some time ago, you ordered you to go east to Beigu and west to Jiangcheng to build ten cities and more than 30 beacon towers, just for today."

"The enemy's boat troops are powerful, and we are not the ones who can defeat our navy. Now we have no other choice but to rely on fortress equipment to defend on the river bank."

"Main-General, the enemy will come whenever you want, and fight whenever you want. If this continues, the soldiers will be exhausted and the people will not be at ease. The subordinates feel that the method of sticking to it is not a good idea." After hearing Bu Sengnian's words, He Chen immediately expressed his concerns.

Those who can stand out from the thousands of Han family members and become the leader of each army are definitely not foolish people. All the generals can see that passive sticking is definitely not a long-term solution. Bu Sengnian also nodded in agreeing with his statement.

"This is only temporary. As long as the lord solves the problem, Zhang Zhaoda will come here, he will have a good plan to deal with Huang Faxian."

Water battles are not as good as infantry battles, and they cannot win by relying on martial arts. However, the generals followed Han Duan for a long time and had an inexplicable confidence in him. At this moment, they all felt relieved after hearing Bu Seng Nian this.

"It's too slow to build warships in the boat yard. If our army had a hundred and ten large ships, how could they be so arrogant?" Jiang Fa said "hey" with a complaint.

"Even if there are enough large ships, no experienced old soldiers who are familiar with water battles may not be able to defeat Chen Junzhou."

As soon as Bu Seng said this, Jiang Fa suddenly lost his words. No matter how slowly the Golden-winged ship was built, it could build three or four ships a month. But where did the old soldiers who were skilled in the water fight come from in a short time?

………………………………………

The design eliminated the powerful families of Kuaiji and eliminated their confidants. Han Duan had no worries anymore. After two days in Shanyin, he rushed back to Jiande without stopping.

According to the reconnaissance, Zhang Zhaoda still did not move, but only accelerated the speed of building rafts and playing poles. Now, hundreds of large rafts have been moored on both sides of the Qushui River, more than 20 miles away.

This raft, which is six or seven feet long, is enough to install two poles on it. If it is brought close to the Han family army warship, it can also cause great threats and injuries.

But what Cai Shugu couldn't understand was how these rafts could break through the wooden fence blockade on the river.

If you cannot break through the wooden fence, you will not be able to fight the Korean army in close combat. Is Zhang Zhaoda already able to build so many rafts?

"It's just a re-using trick."

Han Duan patted his shoulder and felt relieved by his doubts:

"A few years ago, Chen Baoying launched a rebellion in Jian'an, and also built fences on land and land to resist the imperial government's army. Zhang Zhaoda asked the wood to be cut into rafts and mounted a cart. He took advantage of the heavy rain and the river was rising, and he launched a diversion to attack Chen Baoying's water fence and made a contribution in one fell swoop."

Cai Shugu suddenly realized: "So that's it. I said I haven't seen him for so long. It turns out that he is waiting for heavy rain to fall."

"It doesn't have to be a heavy rain. If rain like this, the river water will rise for a few days." Han Duan raised his hand and pointed outside, "When the water is strong, it's time for him to set up a raft upstream and hit him."

"Since the Lord of the Lang knows that Zhang Zhaoda wants to use this method, why do you still have to lay a fence in the water?"

Han Duan thought about it and asked back, "Do you still remember the battle between the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Wu that I told you before?"

Cai Shugu was stunned when he heard this, and then he immediately reacted: "Does Langzhu want to follow Wu Yan's iron-locked Hengjiang? But in the end he was broken through by Wang Jun?"

In the first year of Taikang in the Jin Dynasty (280), Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Yan, launched the battle to destroy Wu. Wang Jun, the governor of Yizhou, led 70,000 navy troops to take a boat out of Wuxia, passed by his sister and approached Xiling.

The General of the Eastern Wu, Wu Yan, set up an iron cable across the river in Xiling, and buried a large iron cone in the river to stop the Western Jin navy.

Wang Jun quickly came up with a solution. He ordered people to build dozens of large bamboo rafts, which were connected side by side, and released them along the river. The bamboo raft was blocked when it encountered an iron cone, but Wang Jun continued to release the bamboo raft. The impact of the iron cone became increasingly greater and eventually it became loose and was taken away by the bamboo raft in the torrent.

As for the iron chains across the river, Wang Jun also had a way to deal with them. He ordered people to set up huge torches at the bow of the ship, poured sesame oil into it, and ignite the iron chains when they encountered them, and soon melted the iron chains and unobstructed from now on.

"The iron chain crosses the river" has been proven to be a failure, and Cai Shugu couldn't understand why the Langzhu still asked about this.

Han Duan laughed and said, "Wu Yan has no naval army, but Wang Jun has dozens of tower ships that completely control the river surface, so he has time to slowly start a fire and burn the iron chain. But now Zhang Zhaoda doesn't even have a warship, so how could I give Zhang Zhaoda so much time?"

"You're waiting to see it, and you'll definitely surprise Zhang Zhaoda at that time."

The autumn rain is heavy and small, and it is always continuous. Although it is not as good as the heavy rain in summer, after several days of continuous decline, the river water still begins to rise and the water flow becomes turbulent.

"It's time!"

After seeing the surging river water by the river, Zhang Zhaoda slammed his high fives, his one-eyed shiny, and he made a decision in an instant.

"Go to fight tomorrow!"

The next morning, when the soldiers arrived, they were awakened by the dull drum sound. By dawn, they had already eaten and had been resting for half an hour.

This is the first full meal in ten days, but it is also the last meal in many people in their lives. If possible, they would rather continue to be hungry.

The generals began to drive the soldiers out of the camp and gathered in order on the open space in front of the camp.

The camp site chosen by Zhang Zhaoda was extremely wide and flat on both sides. The soldiers lined up according to the designated area. Once they crossed, they would be beaten and scolded by the generals at the least, and at the worst, they would be beaten with a stick for the crime of overtaking the chaos of the army.

Most of the tens of thousands of troops were new soldiers. In order to ensure that the order was enforced, Zhang Zhaoda had to implement severe punishments and would not mind killing several new soldiers.

The hour of Mao was right, accompanied by the sound of drums and whistles, the soldiers of the front army, who were "first to climb" began to climb the raft.

In the rain, crossbows cannot be used, and there is no chance to fight with the enemy on the raft, so their only task is to use the stick to hit the enemy ship after the raft breaks through the blockade and gets close to the enemy ship.

The first batch of "first-mounted dead soldiers" who rushed to the wooden fence were almost dead and dead. Under the scolding of the generals and the supervisors, they quietly lined up onto the raft.

Zhang Zhaoda also began to get anxious. Although he had used the same method once and proved it was completely feasible, any plan could have an accident and no one dared to guarantee that it would be foolproof. Until the moment of victory, his heart would not be able to calm down.

Zhang Zhaoda walked out of the tent, and the subordinate behind him quickly took out an oil-paper umbrella to protect him from the wind and rain, but he waved his hand to refuse. He just tightened his cloak and looked at the river beach.

Seeing the coach standing there, his face turned as dark as the bottom of the pot, the mood of the various groups became nervous.

But the actions of the soldiers were not affected. Soon, the first thousand first-row dead soldiers boarded the raft, cut off the ropes and cables amid the rapid drum beats. The raft followed the waves and gradually disappeared from sight.

Soon, more than a hundred rafts were put out, and then it was the main force of this battle, the three thousand brave men led by the super military general Cheng Wenji.

They will take the collected light boats, carry tinder oil, and wait for an opportunity to burn enemy ships.

Before leaving, Cheng Wenji came to Zhang Zhaoda again and bowed to him. Zhang Zhaoda also put away his black face, encouraged him repeatedly, and promised that after the victory of this battle, he recommended him to the court to be promoted to General Anyuan.

"Prince of the County, please relax." Cheng Wenji bowed heavily. When he was young, he followed his father to fight and often took the lead in charge. Even if the situation is not good now, he was not panicked:

"The storm is not bad now, so the county magistrate will go back to the tent and take a break for a while. At most half a day, Wen Ji will definitely have good news back!"

"I heard about Han Bozheng's reputation as brave and brave. If I could meet him today, I would be in a good match!"

Zhang Zhaoda was aroused by the heroic spirit in his heart, and he laughed loudly: "The Cheng Huzi is indeed well-known! Shaoqing, today's battle is the time when the Cheng family in Xin'an becomes famous."

"I'll prepare food and drinks in the tent, and wait for you to return victoriously and have a drink all night!"

It has been raining for several days, and although the water level of Qushui is more turbulent than in the previous few days, it still takes half an hour to drift on the nearly thirty miles of water.

What Chen Jun didn't notice was that when the first group of dead men boarded the raft and set off, a thick stream of smoke came from a mountain on the right.

Han Duan stood on the left bank of Qushui. Not far away from him, a huge iron pillar stood, and a large iron chain as thick as an arm was connected to the iron pillar.

There are six such iron pillars on both sides of the Qushui River. All of these six iron pillars are inserted into the caves chiseled from the rocks, which are enough to withstand the force of ten thousand pounds.

Han Duan chose to lay down the wooden fence and set up iron cables. It was the narrowest section within a few miles of the Qushui River. The river surface was less than 30 feet wide, and the arrows fired by crossbowmen on both sides could completely cover the entire river surface.

The crossbow cannot be used on rainy days, which is only for Chen Jun.

The bow used by the Han family army was originally a single longbow, and the impact was not very big. In addition, the thatched hut was built to shelter from the rain in advance, so we could shoot and kill the enemy on the river with leisure.

This is a blatant "ambush". If Chen Jun wants to rush over, he can only fill in his life.

In addition, there was only one way to attack on land, but after comparing the two, Zhang Zhaoda chose to attack from the water.

After all, there is still a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough in waterways, and he has never even thought about landways.

He knew exactly what his "100,000 army" was.
