In 598 AD, after the Battle of Destruction of Chen led by the Sui army, Emperor Wen of Sui ordered the palace, cemetery and city walls of Jiankang City of the Chen Dynasty to be wiped out. The Sui Dynasty unified the world, and the former land of Jiankang was deliberately defamed.

After Jiankang was pacified, the area near Jiankang was still the center of Jiangnan. It connects Bashu, Jingxiang, the east to the three Wus, and the north to the two Huaihe Rivers, and the world is a place with great success.

In addition, Jiankang also had a big river as a barrier, so after Du Fuwei separatist, he did not choose to connect water and land. Jiangdu, located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, established a base camp, but changed it to Danyang, which is only a few dozen miles away from Jiankang, as the base. This is also Du Fuwei's plan for the future. If one day the cavalry of Li Tang or Da Zhao went south and he was in Danyang with the natural danger of the Yangtze River, he would not be afraid of the cavalry of the two countries.

However, Du Fuwei did not expect that Zhao State attacked Danyang, but did not come from land, but from water. Moreover, it did not come from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but from the sea to the estuary of the Yangtze River, and then flowed upward from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

In order to attack Du Fuwei's lair, Du Fuwei's rebel general Zuo Xianyou also brought two thousand soldiers and thirty warships, and joined the 8,000 navy troops of Silla Baekje, forming a multinational joint fleet. More than 150 warships rose up from Jiangdu and went straight to the south bank.

Zuo Xianyou walked onto the side of the ship, but saw the joint fleet traveling on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The wind was so strong that it seemed like a layer of mist floating in the distance. The vast Yangtze River was so wide that from the north bank to the shore of the south bank, the width was difficult to measure.

If it weren't for the eastward water on the rolling river, I would almost think this was a wide lake.

Zuo Xianyou said to his left and right with a calm face: "Let the Silla Baekje fleet follow us closely. The water flow here is complicated. If it is accidentally stranded, it will be a trivial matter. I am afraid that the ship will be destroyed and the people will die. I don't know if I eat the fish and shrimps of the Yangtze River."

Speaking of this, Zuo Xianyou couldn't help laughing, and his subordinates smiled accordingly. They always looked down on Silla and Baekje Dongyi Country.

However, Zuo Xianyou thought of what Li Chongjiu told him, so he was solemn. Now he betrayed Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou. If he could not help Zhao army capture Danyang this time and let Du Fuwei escape the south bank, his future prospects would be in danger.

"Is the other side of the river Jingkou?" Zuo Xianyou asked his subordinates.

"Report to the guards. Just three miles ahead, it's Guazhou crossing."

Zuo Xianyou nodded. Huan Wen, a powerful minister of the Southern Jin Dynasty, said that the Jingkou wine can be drunk and the soldiers can be used. The soldiers pointed to the soldiers of the powerful Eastern Jin Dynasty stationed in Jingkou.

From the Eastern Wu Sun Quan, he set foot in Jiangnan to defend Jiankang, there were two ferries that needed to be guarded, one was Caishi Ferry upstream of Jiankang, and the other was Guazhou Ferry downstream of Jiankang. The two ferries were opposite Liyang and Jingkou, both of which were the key points of Jiankang. The Southern Dynasties had to be controlled by heavy troops so that Jiankang could rest assured.

In history, whenever you attack the south from the north and cross the Yangtze River, you have to go through these two ferries. When the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, Emperor Wen of Sui ordered the two most brave generals of the Sui Dynasty, He Ruobi, to cross Guazhou, and Han Catch Huzhou, to quarry, and succeed in a battle. Later, the mighty ruler of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Liang, was occupied by the Song general Yu Yunwen. He failed to cross Guazhou first, and was killed by his subordinates.

Now, Liyang Jingkou is also the place where the Jianghuai Army started. When Du Fuwei rose up, he called himself the chief general of Liyang. Later, he captured Jiangdu, and moved his base camp to Danyang, which was closer to the canal.

The general on the side said to Zuo Xianyou: "Prevent the guard. After the King of Wu left Danyang, he deployed all his heavy troops in Jingkou. Now the river changes. Jingkou will definitely get news. Our army will attack suddenly, which may be unfavorable!"

Zuo Xianyou smiled and said, "What's wrong with this? Although the Yangtze River is dangerous. But since ancient times, I have never heard of losing Huai Si and still able to defend Jiangnan. Just Jingkou, I will see that I will defeat it and take it down. It's easy to take Danyang."

Speaking of this, Zuo Xianyou waved his sleeves and ordered: "Beat the drum!"

With Zuo Xianyou's order, the war drums on the Zhao army warships were beating! Thirty Zhao army warships on the north bank turned their sails and were pressed against the wind toward the south bank.

Seeing Zuo Xianyou like this, Baekje General Yunzhong of course ordered the drum beat and led the Baekje fleet forward to support him. But Jin Chunqiu said, "General Zhao is too rash. After all, this is the capital of a country. The enemy troops on the other side do not know the reality of the enemy on the other side, so he attacked rashly. What if he gets ambushed?"

Yuan Xiao said: "But your Highness, if we don't follow up, then General Zhao will definitely blame him."

Jin Chunqiu said: "Master Yuan, you lead ten warships forward, and I lead the rest of the warships to watch the formation. What do you think?"

Yuanxiao nodded.

But above the river, the boats walk like flying, and the white sails are like snow.

When approaching the Jingkou Jianghuai Army Water Camp, I saw that there was a river-blocking iron cable outside the water camp. After the iron cable, there was a floating river wooden city two miles long. The wooden city floated on the water surface, more than two meters high, and it was repaired like a city wall, with a warhead, a water gate in the middle, and closed with a sluice gate.

The soldiers of the Jianghuai Army Water Camp also came to the city wall after hearing the drum sounds. The flags on the city walls seemed to be scattered, as if there were not many soldiers in the Jianghuai Army.

Zuo Xianyou said: "Where is the water ship of the Jianghuai Army?"

The general on the side said, "I guess it's within the Water Gate!"

Zuo Xianyou sneered: "It must be that the Jianghuai Army lost its momentum when they saw our army attacking. They ignored so much and brought the warship closer to them."

Zuo Xianyou's warship bulged forward. After approaching the Shuicheng, the warships in front passed by, and the small stone throwers and crossbows on the ship rushed towards the Fujiang Wood City. The stone throwers and crossbows all hit the Shuicheng, causing the sound of water. The Jianghuai Army also set fire at the front of the bow and arrow and shot at the Zhao army's warship with his backhand.

The two armies were fighting in water, and the crossbows and rockets were shooting from you to me.

When Zuo Xianyou saw this scene, he decisively said to his subordinates: "Send a banner to Baekje and the Silla people, and say that our army is taking a feint attack and restraining the enemy from the front. They landed in the shallow beside the water city and surrounded the water city."

After Yunzhong obtained the banner of Zuo Xianyou, he immediately led a fleet to the shallows on the right side of the Shuicheng. Thousands of Baccarat naval forces jumped onto the firewood ship behind the warship, rowed successfully on the beach on the south bank, and detoured behind the Shuicheng.

Zuo Xianyou, who was on the boat, excitedly hit the brim and said happily: "It's done!"

As soon as Zuo Xianyou finished speaking, a gong suddenly sounded on the hill beside the shallows.

On the hill, hundreds of soldiers of the Jianghuai army showed their heads and shot arrows into the shallows. However, when the arrows were raining, the Baekje soldiers on the shallows were immediately pressed down and could not raise their heads and could only hide behind the reefs. The Baekje warship was shallow and could not get close to reinforcements. He immediately asked Zuo Xianyou for help.

When Zuo Xianyou saw the trap, he was shocked and angry, and wanted to urge the warship to go up the riverside to support him. At this time, several hidden stone throwers appeared on the hillside of the river and smashed towards the Zhao army warship at the foot of the mountain.

But when the huge rocks came down from the mountain, they immediately smashed a battleship of Zhao army, Hengjiang, and broke into two pieces. Another huge rock hit the side of Zuo Xianyou's flagship several feet. It caused water to sprinkle the deck. Zuo Xianyou was shocked and sweated coldly, and quickly ordered the fleet to go backwards, otherwise it would be damaged in this shallow.

But it was raining all night long. Zuo Xianyou's fleet had just retreated. At this time, the sound of a buzz rang out. But after the sandbank in the river, dozens of small Jianghuai military boats rowed out and attacked from behind the Baekje fleet. It turned out that the boats in the water camp had been ambushed here for a long time, not within the water gate.

Although such a small boat is not big, it is as fast as a galloping horse on the surface of the river.

Each ship carried more than 20 soldiers from the Jianghuai Army. After their small boat approached the Baekje warship, they picked up hooks and put them on the ship, and then caught them. These soldiers from the Jianghuai Army climbed up the ship along the hook rope.

The soldiers of the Jianghuai army were very good at water battles, just like the Hu people riding horses. The Jiangdong naval army was the best in the world. Today, they vividly taught the Gentile Baekje Army a lesson. They flexibly avoided the Baekje people's arrows and climbed up the bow of the boat like monkeys. Some soldiers didn't even need hooks and ropes, and jumped onto the side of the boat to engage in a squat.

The main forces of the Baekje Army were all on the shore and could not retreat. Now these ships were all short of troops. Under the fight between the Jianghuai Army, who was good at water warfare, the Baekje warships lost several ships, all of which were full of soldiers and sailors, and their bodies were thrown directly into the Yangtze River, and the river water was dyed red.

Zuo Xianyou, who was still in a state of fear, was frightened when he looked at this scene again. These soldiers of the Jianghuai Army were simply more like barbarians by barbarians.

When the Baekje Army suffered heavy casualties, Jin Chunqiu laughed and said to Yuan Xiao: "I just said that this is the capital of the Jianghuai Army and the country, and it is not that easy to attack. General Zhao actually rebelled from the Jianghuai Army. He didn't even know the arrangement of this place. He was as stupid as a pig."

Yuan Xiao said: "Your Highness, do we still have to watch the wall again?"

"Of course not," said Jin Chunqiu, "Now that Zhao Jun and the people of Baekje have suffered, it's time for us, Silla Lang to show off."

While speaking, dozens of Silla warships moved together. They approached the Shuicheng from the other side. On the shore, the Jianghuai Army saw Silla soldiers jumping into the water from the side of the ship, and they actually swam.

The Jianghuai Army thought that these Silla people would rescue the Baekje fleet that was in a tough battle, but they didn't know that for the Silla people who hated Baekje, they would not rescue the Baekje fleet, but chose to attack Shuimen.

But the Silla soldiers who were swimming across the river broke the iron rope in front of the Shuimen. The Silla warships went straight to the underwater city from the gap.

"not good!"

"don't want!"

The soldiers of the Jianghuai army on the wooden city screamed in shock, but saw two Shira warships wrapped in the corners of the bows, spreading their sails, and heading straight towards the water gate at an extremely fast speed along the rapids.

The soldiers of the Jianghuai Army on the city wall, seeing the Silla warships were so powerful, all jumped into the water.

At that moment, two Silla warships crashed into Fujiang Wooden City one by one and the other. At this time, there was a loud noise, and wood chips flew across the sky. A gap was knocked out on Fujiang Wooden City and broke through the city wall. Another Silla warship was wedged directly into the city wall.
