Chapter 877 The Troops Approach the Yangtze River

Since Liu Ba raised troops in Lingling County, Jiangdong Army's attention has naturally been attracted to the Jingnan area.

"The whole army obeys the order and crosses the river!"

On the endless river, hundreds of warships of different sizes were slowly sailing across the river. On each warship hung a yellow unicorn battle flag, symbolizing the military strength of the Han Dynasty. army.

Gan Ning stood on the bow of the battleship and felt very high-spirited. At that time, he was just a water thief. Even though the name of Jinfan was resounding throughout the river, in the end he was just a water thief. How could he dare to roam the river with such arrogance? Above?

At that time, there were only two entities that could run rampant on the river, and that was the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy. These two naval forces were huge, with hundreds or even thousands of warships, which were enough to be called behemoths.

However, today, Gan Ning is also a member of the Xiliang Navy, while the huge Jingzhou Navy and Jiangdong Navy were destroyed one after another, which makes people feel the passage of time.

"General Ganlang, the public security port is in front of us." his soldiers reported.

Gan Ning nodded, waved his hand vigorously and said: "Order the entire army to dock, put down the infantry first, and then occupy the Public Security Port and Dongting Port respectively!"

As a pioneer force, Gan Ning led nearly a hundred warships southward. In addition to his own navy soldiers, he also brought more than 10,000 Changsha soldiers led by Liu Pan and Huang Zhong in order to recapture Wuling in one fell swoop and then completely recapture Jingnan. .

More than a hundred warships were seen, one after another, slowly approaching the public security port.

"Come ashore!"

The cabin opened, and thousands of Changsha soldiers walked out of the cabin, and veteran Huang Zhong also walked down with them. Although he had gone through bumps, he was still in good spirits and his eyes were shining.

"Gongquan, I will lead the troops to recover Wuling County first. Just take your time."

After Huang Zhong informed Liu Pan, he waved his hand, and under his command, nearly 10,000 Changsha soldiers marched towards Wuling City.

"Old General Huang is really as brave as he is in his prime. Even if someone fights against Old General Huang, he may not be his opponent." Gan Ning said with emotion.

Liu Pan smiled and said: "Han Sheng's bravery is no less than Zhao Guo's incorruptibility. Anyway, I can't go through twenty rounds under him."

Liu Pan was appointed by Liu Biao to handle Jingnan affairs, and met the veteran Huang Zhong in Changsha. At that time, the young and energetic Liu Pan did not take the old man Huang Zhong seriously, and he could not help but speak arrogantly.

Huang Zhong immediately requested to discuss with Liu Pan, and Liu Pan naturally had no reason not to agree. However, Huang Zhong also knew his identity, so he asked for a test of archery skills. As a result, Huang Zhong's archery skills could be said to be as good as Yang Youji's in the Warring States Period, and Liu Pan was defeated three times in three battles.

Liu Pan was unconvinced and tried to fight in close combat. As a result, Huang Zhong struggled for more than ten rounds and was defeated again. From then on, Liu Pan was convinced of Huang Zhong.

At this time, Huang Zhong had already led his troops to the gates of Wuling City.

More than 10,000 Changsha soldiers set up a battle formation at the foot of Wuling City. Huang Zhong rode a bay-red horse to the city, carrying a long-handled sword and carrying a three-stone strong bow. It's really majestic.

"Huang Zhong of Wancheng is here, and the royal master of the imperial court has already recovered Jingbei. Why didn't you surrender early?"

When the rebels on top of the city saw Huang Zhong, they suddenly looked horrified and started talking a lot.

"Huang Zhong is here?"

"This old general is said to be the number one general in Jingnan and even Jingzhou. He can shoot through a tree with a hundred steps!"

"It's over, it's over. If you continue like this, won't you be waiting for death?"

Seeing that the city gate was still not open, Huang Zhong couldn't help but snorted coldly, inserted his long knife on the ground, and took out the bow and arrow from his back.

Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes, picked up his bow and arrow, and pointed it at the top of the city. The bowstring vibrated slightly.

Whoosh!

Boom!

"ah!"

The gatekeeper on the top of the city suddenly screamed, and he saw this arrow flying towards him. It shot through his wrist without losing its power, and then shot into the wall bricks, nailing his arm hard. on the wall.

The faces of the defenders on the top of the city all changed drastically, and their gazes towards Huang Zhong became frightened.

The soldiers in Changsha were all cheering like thunder, raising their arms and shouting.

"The old general's amazing shot is invincible in the world!"

"Hahaha, what are the bastards in the city waiting for? Surrender quickly."

"That's right. If you don't surrender, break the city and leave no chickens or dogs behind."

The morale of the two armies rose and fell. If the Changsha army launched a fierce attack at this time, it would probably not take half a day to capture the city.

However, Huang Zhong was not in a hurry to attack the city, but said loudly: "Listen up, defenders in the city, I will only give you half an hour to think about it. If you don't surrender after half an hour, don't blame me for being ruthless! "

After that, Huang Zhong ordered his troops and horses to rest where they were, and fierce discussions arose in the city.

"Surrender. The enemy's army outnumbers ours several times, and is led by a fierce general like Huang Hansheng. How can we hold on?"

"No, we are all Jiangdong sergeants, how can we just surrender?"

"What Jiangdong sergeant? We have even lost the six counties of Jiangdong, and now we occupy Jingnan, can we still be called Jiangdong Army? We have occupied Jingnan for less than half a year. The nobles here are rebelling everywhere and do not agree with us at all. How can we continue to fight?”

"But."

After a heated discussion, the two thousand Jiangdong troops in the city finally made a decision and opened the city gate.

Lieutenant Jiangdong Military Academy in the city came out helplessly, knelt down and said: "Old General Huang, we are willing to surrender, but please treat our soldiers well."

Huang Zhong nodded proudly: "Don't worry, since you have surrendered, you are a member of our army, and I will naturally treat our soldiers equally."

Hearing what Huang Zhong said, the Jiangdong Army captain felt a lot more relieved, and then ordered the Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers in the city to come out and surrender. As a result, Huang Zhong easily pacified Wuling County without any effort.

Soon after, Liu Pan led the follow-up soldiers to arrive and prepared to reinforce Huang Zhong, but found that Huang Zhong had already captured Wuling County.

"Hahaha, Han Sheng is really brave and can defeat others without fighting." Liu Pan laughed.

Huang Zhong shook his head: "If the Xiliang army hadn't pressed down on the border in this battle, the enemy army would not have surrendered so quickly."

Speaking of this, Liu Pan couldn't help but look dim. When his uncle Liu Biao passed away, he had no choice but to join the Xiliang army.

"The general is powerful in the world. He swept the Central Plains and conquered Bashu. He will definitely be able to unify the world in the future. It's okay for us to follow the general." Huang Zhong comforted Liu Pan with kind words.

"Yes, after all, they are all descendants of the clan." Liu Pan said excitedly.
