It was late at night, and there was a brightly lit scene in the huge Liu Xian army camp, but most of the troops fell asleep, and the entire camp was very quiet.

Liu Xian came to the hill next to the big tent alone, looking at the stars and moon in the sky, with a look of thought on his face. His thoughts couldn't help but fly to Shouchun, thousands of miles away.

Liu Xian was a little worried. For some reason, this feeling of worry has been lingering in his heart for the past few days.

Is this a bad premonition?

Liu Xian was a little puzzled. Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head and said that these thoughts were temporarily thrown behind his mind.

After calming down, I put my thoughts on the current war.

According to the latest information, the Wu army has transferred 500,000 troops to Nanjun and Jiangxia and other places.

Although there is information showing that the main force of the Wu army's naval army was located near the Yangtze River estuary to the east, Liu Xian suspected that this was just a trick of the other party. In fact, their main force of the naval army might have been secretly arranged near the Sanjiangkou!

Liu Xian was not worried about land. Liu Xian had absolute confidence in his own infantry and cavalry. Although the enemy had a slight advantage in military strength, he was also confident that he would defeat his opponent.

However, the situation on the water surface is a headache. The naval army of Ganning, our side suffered heavy losses in the previous war, and both personnel and ships suffered huge losses, and has not yet recovered.

Not to mention defeating the Jiangdong Navy on the water surface, they may even be very difficult to defend the water surface now.

Indeed, those more than a dozen iron armored warships are extremely powerful, but those iron armored gunboats are not real iron armored ships, but just iron warships are laid around the hull.

Therefore, this kind of warship is also afraid of fire attack. In the previous battles, these iron armored warships were seriously damaged under the opponent's fire attack and are still under maintenance.

In fact, even if these warships can be used, it is difficult to use them alone, because although the armored warships are powerful, their weaknesses are very obvious. Once they are approached by the opponent's clutch, or raided by the opponent's water ghost troops, they have almost no ability to fight back.

Therefore, even if the iron-armored warships near Xiangyang are intact, they should not go to war rashly, otherwise they will only lose in vain.

Therefore, although he advanced to the Nanjun city on land, he had no progress on the water. This was equivalent to exposing his wide flanks to the opponent, which made Liu Xian feel very uncomfortable.

He bent down and picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it hard into the distance.

Xue Ying rushed up and reported to Liu Xian: "Your Majesty, Concubine Huang has escorted the supplies and materials into the military camp!"

Liu Xian was overjoyed and immediately ran down the hill. It had been a few days since Liu Xian led the army to Nanjun. The reason why he had not launched an attack was actually waiting for Huang Yueying's arrival. To be precise, he was waiting for the attack sent by Huang Yueying.

City cannon.

Liu Xian came to the rear camp where the supplies were piled up, and saw Huang Yueying, dressed in military uniform, commanding the officers and soldiers to unload the car.

Liu Xian walked forward and smiled and said, "Yueying."

Huang Yueying immediately turned around and saw Liu Xian, and his eyes showed infinite joy. He quickly stepped forward and bowed to Liu Xian like a general: "I am ordered to escort food, supplies and various artillery,

Come and report the drug money!”

Liu Xian walked forward, held Huang Yueying's slender hand, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work!"

A feeling of intoxication suddenly arose in Huang Yueying's heart. She glanced at Liu Xian and felt that all her hard work was rewarded at this moment.

Suddenly thinking that this was in public, I suddenly became embarrassed.

The slender hand that Liu Xian held was thrust back in a hurry and said with a blushing face: "Well, that, I was ordered to bring 500,000 dan of food and grass, 30 latest heavy siege cannons, and 300 vehicle-mounted cannons

, and 80,000 kilograms of gunpowder and 50,000 shells!”

Liu Xian laughed and said, "With so many cannons and ammunition, I see how Sun Ce defends Nanjun!" Then he said softly to Huang Yueying: "Thank you for your hard work, let's have a good rest tonight!"

Huang Yueying suddenly turned beautiful and looked at Liu Xian with a little at a loss, and hurriedly said, "Well, I still need to count the supplies with General Wang Yi! Husband, let's rest first, no need to wait for me.

!”

Liu Xian was stunned for a moment, understanding that Huang Yueying misunderstood her meaning, and smiled without explanation. He deliberately came to Huang Yueying's ear and whispered: "Don't be too late, I'll wait for you in the tent!"

Huang Yueying suddenly turned beautiful and looked around with guilt.

Liu Xian likes Huang Yueying's shy and at a loss the most. He smiled and went back to the big tent.

At the same time, Sun Ce is also actively preparing for the means to deal with Liu Xianjun's attack.

Sun Ce is a famous general in a hundred battles, so he naturally knew that Liu Xian had not launched an attack for several days, and must have been waiting for the artillery from the rear to transport it. Therefore, Sun Ce has not been idle these days.

In order to deal with the bombardment of opponent's artillery, Sun Ce specially raised the turrets on the city wall and in various places in the city from 100 meters to several meters, and then placed his own artillery on these elevated artillery.

The purpose of doing this is very clear, which is to use the advantage of height to increase the range of the artillery.

It is necessary to mention here that the Wu army had previously captured Xiangyang and obtained more than a hundred Liu Xianjun artillery from Xiangyang, and these artillery are now arranged at the top of the city of Nanjun.

Sun Ce believed that the artillery on Nanjun City was the same as that of Liu Xianjun's artillery, and the range was naturally the same.

The range of our guns on a high platform must be much farther than that of the opponent. Therefore, we can completely use this advantage to suppress the opponent's artillery while causing great damage to the opponent's offensive troops!

In fact, the reason why the Wu army was confident in defending Nanjun was more or less because of this.

Sun Ce stood on the city gate tower, looking at the huge enemy camp outside the city, frowned tightly.

There was a fire in his heart, a fire that wanted to burn all the opponent.

Da Qiao's incident made Sun Ce hate Liu Xian and Liu Xian's army to the core. He vowed to kill his opponent in Nanjun and swear to make Liu Xian pay a heavy price.

Lu Xun quickly walked to Sun Ce, clasped his fists and said, "Major General, all the artillery batteries have been arranged. A total of 360 artillery are waiting for the battle. With such a defensive force, even Liu Xianjun will be beaten to death!

”

Sun Ce nodded and praised: "You guys have done a good job!"

He looked at Lu Xun and asked, "Is there any news coming from Gongjin?"

Lu Xun clasped his fists and said, "Not yet."

Sun Ce showed a thoughtful look on his face.

Early the next morning, the sound of Liu Xianjun's war drums broke the silence of the morning. The Wu army officers and soldiers woke up from their sleep and rushed to the top of the city. They suddenly saw the enemy gathering outside the northern city gate and were about to launch an attack.
Chapter completed!
