Several Sui soldiers secretly pried open the wooden door with their knives, and the wooden house was filled with alcohol. An oil lamp with a glimmer of light was still on, so that people could barely see the situation in the wooden house. More than 20 sentries guarding the camp lay all over the ground, with leftover wine and food on a long table in the middle.

A cold wind blew in with the opened wooden house. Perhaps feeling the chill. Several Chen Jun sentries muttered a few words in their mouths, turned over and fell asleep again.

Several Sui soldiers looked at each other and opened their mouths in disbelief. They had made countless ideas at the foot of the mountain, and some of them had even made the worst preparations, but they never expected that this would be the case.

One Sui army made a killing gesture, the other Sui army shook his head, waved his hand back, indicating that he would go back to report, but in the end the Sui army's opinion had the upper hand. The Sui army carefully retreated out of the wooden house and retreated to the place where the Sui army lurked.

"How is it?" Han Qinhu asked a question as soon as several Sui soldiers came back.

"Report to the Chief Executive, all the enemies on duty are drunk and are sleeping."

With Han Qinhu's calmness, when he heard the reports of these Sui army who served as scouts, he couldn't help but jump up wildly. After a while, he issued an order: "Everyone moves forward and try to capture as much as possible."

Half an hour later, the three thousand defenders of Niuzhu Mountain, from generals to soldiers, became prisoners of the Sui army. The only battle between them occurred on the edge of the cottage. After a Chen army came out of the cottage, he saw countless figures walking around the military camp. He realized that something was wrong and opened his mouth and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

However, he could only shout out one sound. Just now, the word "anti-attack" was called out. He shot dozens of cold arrows from all directions and immediately shot him into a hedgehog. This man became the only Chen army who died in the battle tonight. However, the Sui army disappeared four people while crossing the river.

Despite being captured, most of the Chen army was still confused and didn't know what happened. The Sui army ignored them. After confiscating the weapons, some awake Chen army identified their officers and took them away. The remaining soldiers were divided into more than ten places to be detained.

"Wow." A basin of cold water poured on the head of the drunk Niuzhu Mountain guard Fan Xun. Fan Xun shivered, jumped up from the ground, and shouted: "It's raining, it's raining."

"Coax." The Sui army around him burst into laughter.

Fan Xun shook his head, but he had not figured out his situation yet. However, after looking at the water traces on the ground and the crowd laughing around, he finally realized that it was not raining. He shouted fiercely: "Who dares to trick me? Come and pull them down and hit thirty boards."

After saying this, the Sui army around him laughed even harder. At this time, it was about half an hour before dawn. It was the darkest time of the day. With the dim lights lit around him, Fan Xun finally saw that the clothes of the laughing people around him were wrong. He shook his head and woke up halfway through the drunkenness: "You, you..." He sat down on the ground.

After interrogating Fan Xun, Han Qinhu finally figured out why Chen Jun was drunk tonight. It turned out that Fan Xun's father, Fan Meng, the governor of Nanyuzhou, was currently attending the emperor's New Year celebration, so he ordered Fan Xun to temporarily take over the affairs of Yuzhou. Fan Xun took office. In order to establish good relations with his subordinates, he brought a large number of fine wine from Gushu (Dangtu, Anhui) to the Niuzhu Mountain Military Camp. At night, all the officers and soldiers started to eat and drink. This was not the first time tonight. This made Fan Xun, the new commander, quickly gain the favor of all the officers and soldiers, and made him become a prisoner without resisting.

Qu Tutong looked depressed. He finally asked the prince to agree to participate in tonight's raid. He thought there would be a fierce battle to capture the Niuzhu Mountain Camp. Unexpectedly, the other party became prisoners without even touching the knife. Although it was a good result for the Sui army, Qu Tutong was very dissatisfied and grabbed Fan Xun and cursed: "I know how to drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink to death. Don't you know that our army sent troops across the river to capture Jingkou three days ago, and he was still drunk."

After saying that, Qu Tutong couldn't help kicking Fan Xun several times, just like Fan Xun was his subordinate. Fan Xun dared not resist. He was awakened by water, and his upper body was mostly wet. Although he was in the room, his teeth were still trembling with coldness. He was afraid, and he was half trembling: "General... General... What did you say? Jingkou was besieged three days ago. The villain really doesn't know."

"I don't know." Qu Tutong was immediately happy: "You mean you don't know the actions of our army three days ago?"

Fan Xun felt very wronged and replied: "General, the villain is not stupid. If he knew... he knew that your army would have sent troops to capture Jingkou three days ago... how could the villain be unprepared?"

"Does the guard in Gushu City know that Jingkou was besieged by our army?"

"Return to the general, they definitely don't know, otherwise they will definitely send someone... to report to the villain." Fan Xun shivered and replied, his frozen snot flowing out, begging: "General, please give the villain a piece of clean clothes...yawn!"

Qu Tu looked at Han Qinhu, and saw Han Qinhu nodding before kicking Fan Xun again: "Get out, take him down to change his clothes."

"Yes!" Two soldiers rushed down Fan Xun like a chicken.

Fan Xun went there, and Qu Tutong's eyes suddenly became eager and bowed to Han Qinhu, "Mr. Han, you must not miss the opportunity. Taking advantage of the opportunity that Gushu's guard is still confused, the last general will ask to lead a team of troops to set off immediately and take Gushu City."

"Sir, I'm willing to go too!"

"I do, too."

Many people saw the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and asked for battle. Gushu City is only twenty miles away from Caishiji. If they take a rush to march, they can arrive within an hour. Fan Xun is now in charge of the assassination officials in Southern Yuzhou. With him in his hands, it is easy to trick the city gate. The problem is that it was already dawn at that time. Even if the Sui army deceived the city gate, they still had to face the problem of more than 2,000 defenders in the city? If 800 people were dispatched together, it would be not a big problem to solve the problem of 2,000 defenders, but what should we do if the three thousand prisoners here? Once there are fewer guards, they will be troublesome when they riot, not to mention that there is a Chen Jun Water Village upstream of Niuzhu Mountain.

Han Qinhu glanced at Qu Tutong with his eyes and looked at Qu Tutong. The rest of the personnel were his old subordinates. If there was any order to be issued directly, only Qu Tutong came from the prince. Han Qinhu should respect him a little more: "General Qu, how many troops do you need?"

"The last one will only need four hundred men."

"Four hundred people?" Han Qinhusi paid for a moment and shook his head. Four hundred people are already half the power here. Now the ferry and Niuzhu Mountain have been taken down. As long as the dawn is dawn, the Sui army can continuously cross the river. At that time, the navy upstream of the Chen army will definitely be alarmed. If the Chen army's navy finds that the mountain is occupied by the Sui army, no one will try their best to seize the mountain. Although the opportunity for Gushu City is rare, it is completely irrelevant compared to Niuzhu Mountain.

Qu Tutong was anxious. If he waited for the army to cross the river, what else would he do: "Or there were three hundred people, two hundred people, sir, two hundred people, 200 people, or even if he captured the city, he would not be able to control the city gate."

"General Qu, needless to say, it's not that I don't agree to you. It's because our army has captured Niuzhu Mountain at present. The current task is to firmly control him. Gushu is just a small city. As long as the army crosses the river, Gushu will be just a piece of powder. Moreover, the soldiers have been working all night, so it's time to take a break."

"This..." Qu Tutong had no choice but to retreat. Although the soldiers seemed extremely excited to seize Niuzhu Mountain because they almost didn't have any blood, they had no rest for a night. If he had to rely on two hundred people to seize a city of 2,000 people, although the other party was not prepared, it would be too risky.

It was a little dawn, and the entire Hengjiang Ferry was covered with dense ships. Teams of naval troops were the first to board the warship. Yang Yong, Yang Guang, Wang Shao, Xue Daoheng, Du Yan and other important officials were all sitting on another Five-Tooth Battleship. Around them, in addition to more than 300 warships, the Sui army also dispatched more than 1,000 ships of various types to transport troops, and could transport at least 30,000 people at one time.

Standing at the highest point of the Five-Tooth Battleship, it seemed as if the entire Yangtze River was in sight. When everyone saw the dense ships raising their wind and sails, they felt a sense of pride.

"Cough, cough!" Yang Guang opened his mouth and wanted to recite poems to cheer him up. However, when he saw Yang Yong on his side, he suddenly felt guilty. In the past six months, the two brothers have been together. Every time Yang Guang wrote a poem, Yang Yong often wrote a poem. Although Yang Guang's level of poetry is still good, it is just how can he compare with Yang Yong's later generations that have been famous throughout the ages. This has a great blow to Yang Guang's confidence. He no longer dares to write poems in front of Yang Yong.

In fact, Yang Yong had to scrape his stomach every time he recited a poem, which may not be better than Yang Guang. After all, it has been too long and many poems have been forgotten. If Yang Yong had not been necessary, he would never write poems. It’s a pity that Yang Guang really had no confidence. Otherwise, if he would write poems against Yang Yong every day, the poems in Yang Yong’s mind would probably be exhausted soon.

"Brother, I wonder if General Manager Han has captured Niuzhu Mountain?" Yang Guang asked the most concerned question at the moment. If Han Qinhu fails, they will not only face a forced landing battle, but also face the attack of the Southern Chen navy.

"Don't worry, General Manager Han will definitely live up to his expectations." Although Yang Yong didn't know the situation of the battle on Niuzhu Mountain, he had a strong sense of confidence. This confidence not only came from his knowledge that the Sui Dynasty would be extremely smooth to unify the south, but also because he had collected enough information from the State of Chen.

At present, the organization of the secret ward has developed to the south. Yang Yong clearly knows that Chen Shubao is busy with the New Year celebration of his first change of the era after he ascended the throne. He is under the rule of an emperor who does not attend court all day, and it is the New Year period. It is also the reason why Chen Jun's reaction will be slow. This is also the reason why Yang Yong insists on attacking at the original time even though he knows that He Ruobi's attack is first.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Jin, look, General Manager Han's warship is back." An East Palace guard shouted with sharp eyes and pointed at the front.

Everyone hurriedly looked towards the guard's finger. Sure enough, in the morning mist in front, the five-toothed ship that Han Qinhu was riding was returning through the wind and waves. According to the agreement, if Han Qinhu successfully took Niuzhu Mountain, the warship would not have to return and stayed directly at the Caishiji Ferry. Everyone's hearts suddenly became nervous. Could it be that the attack last night failed? They couldn't help but look at Yang Yong. Yang Yong forced a smile and said: "It doesn't matter. With the strength of our army, we can take Caishiji down even if we attack."

The ship was silent for a moment. Everyone was so proud that they immediately encountered a failure, which made people feel a little bit more visible. The entire fleet was not interrupted by this accident. The navy on the other warships did not know what they did last night. Seeing their five-toothed ship coming from the front, they burst into cheers instead.

"Put out a banner and ask Han Qinhu's specific battle situation."

"Yes!" Several flag-language soldiers stood on the side of the ship and waved various flags to signal. The flag-language was naturally the result of Yang Yong's training in the past six months. Unfortunately, they could not find pure glass and could not make a telescope for the time being. Otherwise, the communication distance between the navy warships would be greatly improved. However, this flag-language is many times better than before, just relying on drums to command.

After the flag-speech soldiers successively used the array flags, the surface on their faces became strange. After stopping the flag-speech, they came to Yang Yong excitedly: "Your Highness, good news, our army has occupied the entire Niuzhu Mountain and captured three thousand Chen troops."

"What?" The contrast was too big for a moment, and Yang Yong almost couldn't believe his ears. The flag-speaking soldier quickly reported it again. Yang Yong burst into laughter: "Good guy, he has captured three thousand people, why should the warship return?"

"Go back to Your Highness, Chen Jun drew wooden stakes by the river, but the ship could not pass. Last night, Lord Han landed on a small boat. Now there is no soldier except the boss and the sailor on the ship. In order to avoid the encounter between Chen Jun Navy, the warship had to return."

"Wooden stakes, doesn't that mean that many of our army's warships cannot get ashore this time?"

"I'm afraid that's exactly that." The flag-speaking soldier said helplessly.

"Okay, tell the front, draw half of the men from the twenty large golden-winged battleships immediately on board the Five-Toothed ships, let the ship return to the team and be ready to face the enemy at any time." Each of the large golden-winged battleships of the Sui army can carry fifty people, and each twenty warships can draw half of the men and horses into total 500 people. Only when the five-Toothed ships can the full power of the Five-Toothed ships be exerted.

The Five-Toothed Ship happened to meet the entire fleet in the middle of the river. Large Golden-Winged Warships approached the Five-Toothed Ship. Many navy troops even used ropes to put on the lower deck of the Five-Toothed Ship without waiting for wooden boards to connect, and slid from the Golden-Winged Warship into the Five-Toothed Ship. At this time, due to the lack of cannons, the navy often needed close combat. This ability to board the ship was exactly what the navy trained normally. Soon, the decks of the Dragon-Toothed Ship were re-mounted with sergeants.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!" The sound of war drums in front rang out. When the Sui fleet had already passed the middle of the river, the Chen army navy finally reacted and began to go out of the camp to fight. However, as soon as they left the camp, they saw the Sui army warships in front pounced over the sky and were stunned.

There are 7,000 elite soldiers and more than 200 golden-winged warships in the Chenjun Water Village upstream of Caishiji. A few days ago, because the emperor wanted to inspect the navy, he drew more than half of the ships to Jiankang. Now there are only 105 warships in Caishiji and 3,000 people. In addition to these two dragon-toothed ships, the Sui army was almost three times their warships, not to mention that the large and small ships followed behind were ten times theirs. How could they fight this battle? Many Chenjun soldiers' legs were shaking.

Jiang Yuanxun, the commander of the Chen Army Navy, shouted with courage: "When wooden stakes were fired by the river, their big ships could not pass at all. What are you afraid of? Besides, we have support from the mountain. I have the order that all ships must not approach the middle of the river."

"Yes." The calmness of the chief general infected the personal soldiers around him. The short drum sound soon passed Jiang Yuanxun's order. All the Chen army warships stopped moving towards Jiangxin, turned around lightly, and began to roam along the riverside where the wooden stakes were hit. The Sui army's large ships could naturally be blocked outside. If their small ships dared to come, then try the power of the Great Chen water army.

The southern ships and northern horses have always been stronger than the northern ones. In addition to the five-toothed ships, the Sui army's golden-winged warships were actually built in the style of the Southern Chen warships, but the warships can be imitated. So many naval forces cannot be trained in a short time. Chen Jun firmly believes that if the close forces are connected, it is still a question whether these northerners can sit firmly in the ships?

"Boom!" A loud bang came, and a huge rock fell from the sky and was hitting the middle of Chen Jun's fleet. Fortunately, the stone fell to nothing. Otherwise, it would have been enough to break a warship into two pieces. However, the splashes of water still hit the nearby warships, and some unlucky soldiers immediately became chickens.

"Bastard, we are our own people." The morale of the Chen Jun, who was wet by the splash, jumped up in anger and shouted at the mountain.
