The fleet on the river naturally attracted the attention of the Jiangguan defenders.

Soon several fully armed ships with red flags on the Han army were blocked by the fleet's fleet's way.

As an impact, the five ships are mostly used for string battles, and are at the forefront.

Four small clutch painted red "Red Horse" guards their wings.

The two ships were loaded with crossbowmen, and there was a bed crossbow on them, with plates on defense arrows and stones on all sides. The "threshold" of heavy armed ships, which were located in the center.

The flagship of this navy is an extremely tall building ship. On both sides of the building ship, there are two slightly smaller building ships guarding the left and right, just like the guards of the main general on the battlefield.

Any enemy who wants to threaten the safety of the flagship must first pass these two frigates.

There were flags, swords and guns everywhere on the tower ship, flags were waving, and swords and guns were densely packed.

The tower ship is three floors high, and each floor is equipped with a female protective wall to defend against the enemy's bows and arrows and arrows.

There are arrow holes on the female wall to fire crossbows. In order to defend against enemy fire attacks, the ship is covered with leather to insulate heat.

Within the female wall, there were silhouettes. You could see many soldiers walking around. One after another, one bed crossbow after another was raised. Under the sunlight, countless cold spears and guns were already aimed at them.

Zhao Zhi looked up at the tower boat not far away and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

He has lived in Yizhou for a long time. Although the river networks are densely populated in Ba County, he has never seen such a tall warship.

Zhao Zhi's face was solemn. He looked coldly at Jiangcheng City guard standing beside him. The soldiers standing next to Jiangcheng City guard immediately understood.

The two soldiers closest to Najiangcheng City guards set up Najiangcheng City guards, one left and one right, and the other few people had already held their hands on the hilt of the knife around their waists. Once the city guards in Jiangcheng move any abnormal movement, they would control him without hesitation.

The city guard of Jiangcheng actually concealed such an important matter and did not tell him.

However, when he saw that the face of Jiangcheng's city guard suddenly turned pale, Zhao Zhi's anger disappeared slightly. Looking at the appearance of Jiangcheng's city guard, he was afraid that he really didn't know the situation of Jiangguan defenders.

In fact, it is really not a big deal for the city guards in Jiangcheng that they don’t know the specific situation of the Jiangguan defenders.

When Liu Yan cut off the roads between Yizhou and other states, the generals and schools he placed were all his trusted generals, basically all military soldiers from Dongzhou.

If Liu Yan wants to control Yizhou, he will inevitably infringe on the interests of the local tyrant families in Yizhou.

Therefore, Liu Yan arranged Dongzhou people on each pass and the important road, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach the pass and the important road to prevent them from being investigated.

Jiangguan is an important transportation route connecting Yizhou and Jingzhou, and is a place that military strategists must fight for.

After Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, he had been coveting the land of Yizhou for a long time and was full of reunions with the powerful families in the eastern part of Ba County.

Liu Yan also knew some of the situation. After Liu Biao unified Jingzhou, he organized the navy and prepared the troops, and became increasingly powerful, which also made Liu Yan feel a deep threat.

In order to prevent the powerful families in the eastern part of Ba County from exploring the details of the Dongzhou soldiers in Jiangguan and Baidi City

Jiangguan and Baidi City were further isolated from other places, and almost cut off most of the communication from other places.

Therefore, basically no one knows the details of Jiangguan and Baidi City.

Liu Yan continuously enhanced the defense of Jiangguan. Not only did he build several iron cables between the river, but he also secretly mobilized many craftsmen to enter Jiangguan, built ships on the site, and trained navy.

This time Ren Xian opened up the connection with the Hanting, which was to assemble a navy in Yizhou. In addition, Liu Biao also sent a navy. On the road, Ren Xian also sent a unit, and a unit of more than 2,000 people in the Jingzhou army also participated in the war.

The inside and outside are combined, and the two sides are attacked. Although the Dongzhou soldiers guarding Jiangguan took advantage of the strong city and terrain, they also had the advantage of the terrain and resisted stubbornly.

However, in the end, the Dongzhou soldiers guarding Jiangguan and Baidi City were defeated by the joint encirclement of the Yizhou army and the Jingzhou army.

After conquering Jiangguan, Liu Biao took over Jiangguan and Jiangguan naval warships, and Baidi City was under the control of Yizhou Army.

In Yizhou, only Ren Xian and the Yizhou army who participated in the war knew about these things, after all, they were far apart.

The city guard of Jiangcheng was just a lieutenant under Ren Xian. He knew very little about the situation in Jiangguan. Otherwise, he had already surrendered and his family, wife and children were all in the hands of Zhao Zhi. How could he dare to deceive?

Zhao Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly. He originally thought that there were only a few hundred defenders in Jiangguan, and that most of the places in Yizhou were lax. Because the local aristocratic families and Liu Yan were not in the way, they were mostly disobeying their government orders.

It is naturally difficult for Liu Yan to expand his power, so even if he recruits troops everywhere, it will have little effect.

I thought Jiangguan was the same as other places, but the situation was completely beyond Zhao Zhi's expectations. There were so many defenders in Jiangguan.

There are probably hundreds of people in each of the three tower ships, and there are eleven warships, although they are big and small, but they are also between dozens and hundreds of people.

Including the defenders that may be left behind by Jiangguan now, the total number of defenders in Jiangguan is about 2,000 to 3,000.

Now he has only 400 people under his command, and the total number of defenders and guards in Jiangguan and the city guards in the four cities is more than 3,000. Even if he is determined and unintentional, it is not easy to control the entire Jiangguan.

A navy intercepted the river surface, and the fleet slowly stopped and put away the sails.

The Jiangguan Navy, who was on the way to the interceptors, did not launch an attack when he saw this, but instead put down the boat and boarded their fleet.

When he learned that the situation in Yizhou had changed, Ren Xian was defeated in the Battle of Chengdu. The Yellow Turban Army not only defeated the main force of the Yizhou army, but even attacked the hinterland of Yizhou. After the capture of Jiangzhou, the soldiers who boarded the ship to question also changed their faces. They left some people to continue negotiating, and the others immediately rowed back to report.

The matter is very important. Although they are all small soldiers, the Yellow Turban Army attacked Yizhou. They all know what it means. This matter is undoubtedly extremely important.

Zhao Zhi watched the Jingzhou soldiers rowing their boats back to the place where the flagship was, and then soon saw the flags shaking on the tower ship, as if they were communicating with flags.

Zhao Zhi did not understand water wars and did not belong to the sequence of the Han army naval divisions. He naturally knew nothing about what these flag words were saying.

But soon, several warships quickly joined their fleet and sent some people to board the ship instructions.

Generally speaking, the Yizhou Army was stationed in Baidi City, and Jiangguan was the jurisdiction of the Jingzhou Army.

They belong to the Yizhou army, so they will take them to Baidi City, and some of the ships they are on are warships, and they need to temporarily requisition these warships to be used to guard against the possible attacks of the Yellow Turban Army.

It was said to be a temporary requisition, but everyone knew that the things that were in the mouth of Jingzhou soldiers would definitely not be able to spit it out.

The county magistrates of the four cities quickly surrounded them and came to visit Jiangzhou City. They did not want to stay in Baidi City. If the Yellow Turban Army wanted to control Jiangguan, then Baidi City would be a place that could never be avoided and would inevitably bear the first wave of attacks of the Yellow Turban Army. These Jingzhou soldiers clearly wanted to be used as cannon fodder.

The four of them surrounded the city guards of Jiangcheng in the center and kept talking, wanting the city guards of Jiangcheng to talk with the commander of Jingzhou Army.

However, Jiangchengcheng City Shou was already scared by Zhao Zhi's cold look. He was frightened and was afraid to say anything else.

The weather was getting hotter and the sun was already vicious. For a moment, Jiangchengcheng Shou's face was sweating like rain. He could only constantly wipe the sweat beads on his forehead with silk cloth.

"Don't worry, everyone."

Zhao Zhi pondered for a moment, regained his calmness, and spoke.

He knew that he had to stand up at this time.

"We took most of the boats along the way, and the subsequent families should also requisition most of the available boats. The Yellow Turban Army may not have many boats to use. It may take some time for them to reach here."

Zhao Zhi was right, and he also woke up the county magistrates of the four cities who had always been worried about pursuing soldiers. The situation seemed to be not as good as life and death.

"It's better to follow the arrangements of these Jingzhou soldiers for the time being. We will settle in Baidi City first, and then wait until the follow-up people arrive, and then arrange our family to go through Jiangguan to Jingzhou with them, and then send someone to explain clearly."

"The Yellow Turban Army is powerful and gathers a large army of 100,000 to attack Jiangzhou. In order to protect the people, we can only retreat all the way to Jiangguan. We cannot blame us for any reason."

The Linjiang County Magistrate's eyes rolled slightly, and he heard what Zhao Zhi meant.

Although the main force of the Yizhou army was defeated, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army had entered the two strong cities of Yizhou, Mianzhu and Chengdu, and the defenders of Jinniu Road did not block the pace of the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army descended from the sky like a magic weapon and appeared outside the city of Chengdu and Jiangzhou. The four cities must not be able to defend.

But they lost their city and land, abandoned their cities and towns. Even if they escaped at this time and saved their lives, they would inevitably be punished later.

However, when Zhao Zhi said this, he turned his main purpose into protecting the people. Although he had not changed his behavior in fact, at least he had an argument.

"What Zhao Sima said is reasonable. He went to Baidi City to settle down and made arrangements for the rest of the matter."

The Linjiang County Magistrate figured out the joints and immediately agreed.

The few people present had been officials for many years. They chose to abandon the city and flee early in the morning. Naturally, they were all humans. They also understood the meaning of Zhao Zhi's words in a flash.

"There should be warships and navy in Baidi City. At that time, those navy can be allowed to go out of the camp to pick up those who will come later."

The magistrate of Pingdu County pondered slightly and he also had some conspiracy.

"The heads of each family and the head of the clan should all take the boat first, and the rest can walk by land. Those heads and heads of the clan can be led to Baidi City and then arrange affairs to Jingzhou."

As long as the heads and chiefs of those clans are convinced, they may not only be able to save their lives, but also maintain their official positions.

The four of them had already communicated with each other on the road, and when they got the answer they wanted, they did not continue to ask questions. They chatted with Jiangzhou City Shou and Zhao Zhi for a while, and then returned to their own cabins.

"It is normal for you to not know the affairs of Jiangguan. I know you are not lying. However, although there are many defenders in Jiangguan, you must know that I have more Yellow Turban soldiers."

Zhao Zhi walked near Jiangcheng City Guard. He lowered his head, but the fierce light in his eyes still looked into Jiangzhou City Guard's eyes. Zhao Zhi whispered and threatened.

"When you enter Baidi City, you can see if you can figure out the background in Baidi City."

"The Yizhou army was defeated, and the Dongzhou army was also defeated. Now our Yellow Turban Army has attacked the hinterland of Yizhou. It is only a matter of time before we collect the entire territory of Yizhou. As for where your family is, I believe Zhao doesn't need to remind you again, right?"

Zhao Zhi slowed down a little and continued.

"But don't worry, my Taiping Dao has always been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. You have made contributions to Jiangzhou and helped our army seize Jiangguan. Zhao will definitely ask for you in front of the great wise and good teachers."

Jiangzhou Chengshou's face was slightly relaxed, and his heart was slightly relieved.

The Jingzhou Army's fleet led the four-city fleet toward Baidi City, and at this time the second navy fleet also appeared on the surface of the river.

The number of the second navy ships was much higher than that of the Jingzhou Army Navy ships, but the size of their ships was significantly smaller.

Among the second navy, there was only one tall building ship, and no one was found in the heavy-stacked ship.

There are many small boats with fast speeds such as "walk boats", "steers", and "red horses", especially those who walk on boats, which are like flying gulls, and ride beyond the reach of people. They are listed on the top of the golden drums and flags.

Countless red flags fluttered on it. Although its fleet did not look as powerful as the Jingzhou Navy, it was not inferior to the Jingzhou Navy in terms of momentum.

These Yizhou navy even gave Zhao Zhi a strange feeling that if they fought with the Jingzhou navy on the river, the final victory would probably not be the Jingzhou navy with strong ships, but the Yizhou navy equipped with small boats.

Zhao Zhi looked at the Yizhou navy in front of him, and a huge doubt arose in his heart.

Jingzhou Navy is famous all over the world, but Yizhou seems to be not strong. If it is really strong, why are there so many water thieves in Ba County?

However, the momentum of the Yizhou Navy in front of him cannot be faked, and the momentum can only be achieved by an elite army.

The Yizhou navy soon completed the handover with the Jingzhou navy.

Zhao Zhi looked at the warships that were constantly interspersing between the fleets, and saw the Yizhou soldiers on the warships, and felt a fierce aura coming towards him. Zhao Zhi had been through the battlefield for a long time, and he knew very well that these soldiers were definitely not like gold or jade, but also bad things.

However, the only thing that made Zhao Zhi arrive strangely.

The Jingzhou Navy advances and retreats in moderation. At first glance, it is well-trained and has the aura of killing. At first glance, it can be seen that it is a regular navy.

However, these naval soldiers in Yizhou don’t feel like they are military soldiers, but more like...

Water pirate...
