Chapter 867 Storming the Water Village

"Colonel, the enemy has already entered the city! It's better to leave quickly, otherwise, the enemy will come in." The soldier said hurriedly.

Listening to the chaotic shouts of killing outside, Cai He couldn't help but turn pale and agreed: "Okay, in that case, retreat out of the city and join my brother!"

They were eager to fall into the trap, and there were sounds of fighting all over the streets in Xiangyang City. Although there were nearly ten thousand Jingzhou soldiers in the city, without Cai He to command them, they could only fight on their own and resist hard.

The Changsha soldiers who came in from outside the city acted like an arm and a finger. Thousands of them each had their own division of labor. Under the leadership of two veterans, Huang Zhong and Liu Pan, they charged at the Jingzhou soldiers in the city and gained the upper hand. Moreover, Jingzhou soldiers continued to be unwilling to fight and knelt down to ask for surrender. The situation became more and more favorable to the Changsha soldiers.

Fortunately, the defenders in the city were fighting against the Changsha soldiers, so Cai He escaped from the west gate without any danger. He also gathered more than a thousand remaining soldiers, seized dozens of large and small warships, and rushed in In the Han River.

"Brother!"

"Um?"

Cai Hao was looking down and thinking about how to repel the Xiliang navy. When he heard this familiar voice, he couldn't help but be startled and raised his head in disbelief.

"Cai He? You are not stationed in Xiangyang City, how come you are here?" Cai Mao strode to Cai He's side, staring at him with his eyes, and suddenly he had a bad suspicion in his heart.

"Brother, I..." Cai He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. He just knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Cai Mao stiffened and said in a trembling voice, "Cai He. Did you lose Xiangyang?"

"Brother, I'm sorry for you. It's all Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang's fault!" Cai He cried loudly.

"You, you, you!" For a moment, Cai Hao felt as if all the energy and blood in his body were rushing upwards, rushing to his temples, and he really felt like he was furious.

"Oh!"

Cai Mao shouted loudly and threw the sword out without unsheathing it. The scabbard hit Cai He in the face. Cai He screamed and fell backwards.

Although the long sword was not unsheathed, Cai Hao's angry attack was certainly not trivial. Cai He screamed and covered his mouth. There was blood dripping from his mouth, but his teeth were knocked out.

Although his teeth were knocked out, Cai He didn't dare to scream and just covered his mouth.

"Do you know? Xiangyang is the last foothold of our army. If Xiangyang is lost, where do you want me to go? What will happen to my family?" Cai Mao roared.

Now Cai Mao only has Nanjun left in his hands, and Xiangyang is the largest city in Nanjun and even the entire Jingzhou. The most important thing is that Cai Mao's family members are in Xiangyang City.

Cai He cried and said: "Although Xiangyang is lost, Jiangling is still there, why not surrender to Jiangling and make plans?"

"Oh, that's all it can do!"

Cai Mao looked sad. Although he could retreat to Jiangling, what should his family do? Especially the concubine in Xinna's house, she has a delicate appearance and charming heart. Wouldn't it be great if such a beauty was captured by the enemy? well!

Just when Cai Mao was about to give the order to retreat, a speedboat hurriedly arrived outside the camp gate. The soldiers on the boat shouted loudly: "Captain, the Xiliang Navy has attacked the camp!"

Cai Mao was shocked: "Generals, quickly follow me to attack, and be sure to guard against the enemy's fierce attack!"

Just kidding, if this water stronghold is breached by the enemy, they won't even be able to retreat to Jiangling.

Cai Mao hurriedly walked out with the generals around him, while Cai He limped to his feet, picked up a piece of cloth from the shore and covered his face, and followed him out.

Shocking!

As soon as Cai Mao and others climbed onto the high platform and looked far away, they felt a shock!

Outside the water stronghold, there are large and small warships of the Xiliang Navy everywhere on the water. They are densely packed and dotted on the river surface, forming a semicircle that tightly surrounds the Jingzhou Army water stronghold, as if A huge mouth is about to swallow Shuizhai in one go.

Warships of all sizes are scattered on the water, and there is almost no end in sight at a glance. The main force of the Xiliang Army is here, a total of 20,000 naval troops, four fighting ships, a building ship, dozens of sterns and sterns. Hundreds of boats are all concentrated here.

"Damn it. Is it possible that the Xiliang Navy is going to launch a general attack?" Cai Mao said with a pale face.

In the past few days, the Xiliang Army has been launching exploratory attacks on the Jingzhou Army's water stronghold. It has never mobilized a large-scale main force, but it never thought that it would be just a favor and silence. It would make a blockbuster and send out a large army to crush the mountain!

Gao Chong stood on the deck of the ship in high spirits, holding a sword in his hand, wearing an iron helmet on his head, and his eyes were shining.

"Let all the soldiers in the vanguard shout for me. The louder the shout, the better!"

An order was issued, and the forward soldiers immediately shouted.

"Children from Jingzhou, why are you still stubbornly resisting here?"

"Are you still kept in the dark? Xiangyang City has been attacked by our army. What's the point of your fight?"

"Hahaha, can't you see it? Isn't Cai He, the guard of Xiangyang City, already back?"

The vanguard soldiers were all specially selected, and each of them had a loud voice. More than 2,000 people gathered in one place and shouted loudly. It was like countless loudspeakers being turned on at the same time. The noise filled the sky and hit the navy stronghold.

When the Jingzhou soldiers in the village heard the news, they were all shocked and couldn't believe it.

"What? Xiangyang City has been captured?"

"My wife and children are still in the city, are they okay?"

"Look, the man covering his face next to Governor Cai seems to be really Cai He!"

For a while, the Jingzhou army was already in chaos and talking a lot before they started fighting. These Jingzhou soldiers were all natives of Jingzhou, and many of them had family members near Xiangyang. When they heard that Xiangyang City had been captured, these people were naturally frightened, fearing that their parents, wives, and children would be harmed.

"Huh, what a mistake!" Cai Mao glared at Cai He, who lowered his head.

"Shoot arrows, shoot arrows for me, don't let them shout anymore!" Cai Mao shouted.

Cai Mao gave the order. Although the archers of the Jingzhou Army in the water village were a little panicked, they did not dare to disobey the military order. They opened their bows and arrows and aimed at the enemy's vanguard soldiers outside the city.

Whoosh whoosh!

But the vanguard soldiers were well prepared, and they raised their cowhide shields one after another. More than a dozen cowhide shields were combined together to resist the incoming arrows. Except for the occasional few unlucky ones who were stabbed by arrows shot into the gaps. In addition, most of the Xiliang soldiers were safe and sound. After all, they were well prepared.

"Grand Governor, the enemy is raining arrows, shall our army launch an attack?" Zhu Huan asked Gao Chong for instructions.

Gao Chong nodded and said: "Send the order to the entire army to attack!"
