Arresting people would inevitably cause some chaos. Fortunately, Wang Xuan tried his best to stabilize local order while conducting large-scale publicity in the past few days, so it did not cause any panic...
Bar.
Facing the Han soldiers with their fighting strength on the street and the Huanshou sword hanging on their waists, there was no 'panic'!
I’m so happy,┭┮﹏┭┮
Jia Xu wore an official uniform that was more formal than ever before. He sat on the high platform with a serious look on his face.
He stretched out his big hand like a dry and wrinkled branch, picked up an arrow and threw it forward, shouting: "Kill!"
With an order, a row of heads fell to the ground.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
…
In this wave, not only the heads of the Jiangling aristocratic family were beheaded, but also the last remaining courage in the hearts of Jingzhou's small aristocratic families, tycoons, and wealthy businessmen to fight.
Especially after the "kill list" accidentally spread from Jia Xu.
Although it is gossip, this gossip is credible enough. After all, such earth-shaking events are always done after rigorous and detailed discussions before making a decision. Therefore, the information obtained at a large price is, of course,
Believable enough.
As for the speed of transmission, it far exceeds that of a galloping horse!
Hundreds of people were sacrificed to heaven at once, and the army's morale was so high that it began to move north along the way. The half-hearted navy led by Gan Ning took the Yangtze River and turned to the Han River and then went upstream. Most of the remaining people were led by Guan Yu and went straight to Xiangyang by land.
Speaking of which, on the night of the fall of Jiangling, Yiling received the news. Wenpin was furious on the spot and swore righteously on the spot that he would rush to support Xiangyang at the cost of his life and sacrifice. He could not let this last fortress be destroyed again.
Captured by Guan Yu!
The general at Yiling looked confused and turned around to leave. Without saying a word, he ordered troops to march northward overnight to 'rush to the rescue' of Xiangyang.
In just a moment, the Yiling guard reacted, looking as if he was inspired by Wenpin, and said that he would lead the Yiling remnants to the north immediately. Even if they were homeless as a result, they would still keep the last piece of habitat in Jingzhou!
The army rushed all night, passing through Dangyang without entering, as if they were afraid of being chased behind them...ah, they rushed like crazy for fear of losing Xiangyang. With the burst of potential, it only took more than three days to reach Xiangyang City.
In this regard, Huang Zu didn't say anything. Now that the matter has come to this, it would be good for Xiangyang to have more strength. He has already received the message from Cao Cao. Since it will contain Nanyang Wancheng's troops, he only needs to
Just face Guan Yu, and as long as you persist for a while, reinforcements will naturally arrive. Cao Cao will not just watch Wang Xuan completely capture Jingzhou.
As time went by, good news came one after another for Huang Zu and others, which made them more confident day by day. Especially last night, Xiahou Dun, Li Tong, and Xu Chu brought more than a hundred people with them.
When the number one arrived in Xiangyang.
Although Huang Zu and others handed over their military power, their confidence suddenly grew.
In other words, the way Xiahou Dun and others were dressed at that time was a little, well, hard to describe... and the guards thought they were mentally ill and were trying to cause trouble. If Xiahou Dun and others didn't want to make the matter bigger and let the news spread, he almost would have done it.
Directly kill the governor's house.
Of course, don't worry about these details.
Huang Zu and others were very wise and got rid of all the people who knew and should not know.
…
The land route is a straight line, but the water route has to go around the intersection of the two rivers. In fact, the speed to reach outside Xiangyang City is about the same, of course, provided that no random or unexpected situations occur.
Cao Cao was not stupid. How could he watch Guan Yu attack Jiangxia and remain indifferent? When he sent someone to notify Huang Zu to wait for help, he also notified Jiangxia that Cao Hong would lead his troops to rescue.
Guan Yu knew that to defeat Xiangyang, he had to break Fancheng first and use naval forces to cut off the river. How could Cao Hong not know that most of the entire Jingzhou navy was concentrated in Jiangxia and was taken over by Cao Hong to defend against Sun Ce. This time he brought Xiangyang with him.
Most likely, after all, Chen Qun had already gone to find Sun Ce. Under Sun Ce's big policy of resisting Liu, he could relax his guard against Sun Ce to a certain extent.
Outside Jingling City, on the Han River, Gan Ning stood on the bow of the ship with a livid face, with ice-blue aura rising more than half a meter high all over his body, his eyes fixed on the Cao Jun warship chasing behind him.
Seeing the enemy warships getting closer and closer, Gan Ning shouted loudly and swung out Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, causing the turbulent river water to violently sweep towards the rear. The enemy warships were able to defeat Gan Ning, but Gan Ning gave up after chasing him.
Of course, he was not a mediocre person when he ran away. He saw the clouds tumbling above and suddenly gathering towards the front, "Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and a big wave hit the enemy warship hard. However, the warship was shaken violently and its speed was greatly reduced, but that was all. Obviously, although Gan Ning could perform 150% of his combat power on the water,
strength, but after all, it cannot fight against a fully organized corps on its own.
There is an essential difference between the navy and the army. The key lies in the battleships. In the battle between the navy and the army, the role of the battleships is much higher than that of the soldiers. Of course, the premise is that the soldiers can exert the combat effectiveness of the battleships. Gan Ning will suffer the consequences if he suffers.
, these soldiers are all temporarily transferred from the army, and they can barely control the ship. As for the water battle... I can only describe it as hehe.
I didn't plan to count on them at first. In Guan Yu's plan, these fleets would be directly linked to each other after arriving in Xiangyang. They were just tools to block the traffic between the two cities. Who would have thought that they would be intercepted before they even reached Xiangyang?
Called back...
But the enemy army has a complete naval structure, battleships that are tempered to the limit, a capable commander, and elite navy soldiers, forming a whole fleet, and blessed by thick clouds.
The result of this is that, normally, when a battleship faces Gan Ning's attack, it will be knocked over by huge waves. But with the help of battle formations and clouds, although it is not unscathed, it is indeed not a big problem.
It's not like Gan Ning has never tried to jump on top of enemy warships to kill them, but one person can't defeat thousands of troops. Under the suppression of Yun Qi, Gan Ning's Gang Qi will be exhausted if he doesn't kill three to five hundred people.
Most of the time, if Gan Ning hadn't just tread water and run away, he would have been completely surrounded by the local commander's fleet and unable to get out.
As a result, Gan Ning could only rely on his own force to fight for the opportunity to retreat.
"Damn it, I didn't steal your wife, why are you biting me and not letting me go!" While cursing, Gan Ning took a moment to catch his breath, and his mind was racing about what to do.
Downstream is a wide stretch of water, where the water flow is gentle. The enemy's speed will definitely increase when the time comes, and he himself can't stop it. He can even knock them into pieces if he collides with them.
"General, it's bad, a battleship ahead has run aground!"
"Fuck you!" Hearing the soldier's report, Gan Ning stomped his feet angrily, causing the hull to shake. Then his eyes lit up and he thought of something, "Fuck you?"
