But this time General Xia was so decisive, which was not a wrong decision.

Because the reinforcements on the troop ship at this time were the Guan Ning cavalry that Xia Jun was frightened upon hearing!

If the Xia army had not evacuated immediately, and when the five thousand Guan Ning cavalry who came to the rescue had disembarked and formed a formation, and the heavy armored cavalry rushed straight into the Xia army's formation, I am afraid that this army would have been completely destroyed.

!

On the top of Ruichang City, Huang Gai, covered in blood, looked at the soldiers and horses rushing to help, with a happy face.

But when he saw the Xia army retreating decisively outside the city, he couldn't help but look annoyed and said:

"Damn it, how can this Xia army commander be so cowardly!"

Obviously as long as we delay a little longer, all the 80,000 elite Xia troops will have to stay here...

But what Huang Gai didn't know was that since the Xia army failed to recapture Ruichang City, they had become a lone army and no longer had the ability to affect the overall situation!

——

Chaisang City, the county seat of Xunyang County of the Xia Kingdom, is where nearly one-third of the warships of the Jinling Navy of the Xia Kingdom are stationed!

The duty of this navy is to control the waterway near Chaisang and assist the Chaisang garrison to prevent Yunnan's river navy from flowing down the river and taking Jinling directly.

But why is it stationed in Chaisang instead of Panlong Shuizhai on the front line?

Not only because Chaisang is the throat of the Yangtze River, it is an important city related to the gains and losses of Xunyang and Yuzhang counties.

What's more, after Yun Guo forced An Guo to surrender and obtained all An Guo's accumulation on naval warships, Yun Guo's naval force expanded rapidly. It was still difficult for a squadron of Jinling Navy to fight against

There are a large number of ships, and the tall and sturdy Yun Neihe River Navy contends!

To the south of Chaisang, there is the vast Poyang Lake, which connects the states and counties of Yuzhang County. It can also be used as a strategic space for the rear of the Xia Kingdom Navy to maneuver!

As long as Chaisang City is defended and the important area at the mouth of the lake that flows into Poyang Lake is defended, the Jinling Navy can advance and retreat freely. No matter how strong the Yun Army's river navy is, it cannot cross here and continue to move down the river to capture the city.

Previously at Ruichang City, the Xia Army Commander had angrily scolded the Jinling Navy, saying that they were incompetent. As a result, the Yun Kingdom Navy easily transported troops and horses to Ruichang City as if they were in an uninhabited land. This led to the main force.

Unable to call back.

But these words are a bit unfair to this Jinling Navy Squadron!

Because at this time, the Xia Kingdom Navy was fighting desperately with the Yun Kingdom Navy who was rushing down the river and making a surprise attack.

On the broad surface of the Yangtze River, there are tall ships, sterns, fighting ships, and warships of all kinds, mixed together, and fighting endlessly.

On the ship, bowstrings vibrated, trebuchets roared, rocks fell, and arrows rained down.

The racket pole on the bow of the ship fell hard, smashing into pieces a warship that wanted to get close to engage in a boarding battle. The soldiers on board immediately screamed and fell into the water. They were wrapped in the waves and disappeared into the water.

Out of sight, a faint blood color floated on the surface of the river, then dissipated in an instant.

Compared with fighting on the battlefield, the naval battlefield may not look so bloody, but it is even more dangerous!

But even though the soldiers of the Xia Navy fought hard, this battle still turned out to be one-sided. Yun Neihe Navy destroyed the Xia Navy warships one by one like a broken bamboo.

Because at this time, Chaisang City was extremely empty of troops, with only 5,000 elite Xia troops and more than 10,000 county soldiers defending it.

Such a weak force is not enough to defend Chaisang City, so how can it support the Jinling Navy?

In this way, with the Yun Kingdom Navy having an absolute advantage and no support from the city's defenders, in just half a day, the remnants of the Jinling Navy retreated in embarrassment and hurriedly retreated into Poyang Lake.

Since then, Chaisang Waterway has been controlled by the Yun army.

The important area of ​​​​Hukou, which was used as a barrier by the Xia Navy, was also captured by the Yun Army at this time, trapping the remnants of the Xia Navy that fled in a hurry in Poyang Lake!

From then on, relying on the transportation convenience of the Yangtze River, the Yun army did not need to capture the Qichang Mansion, but could also continuously send Jiangzhou County soldiers and horses to Chaisang City...

I left for Nanjing yesterday and forgot to ask for leave. Sorry.

The four thousand words I owe will be made up slowly in the future.

Don’t forget that I only post one chapter every day, but in fact the word count is not necessarily certain, I’m just too lazy to think of chapter names. I will make up for the word count I owe during my leave time little by little, and the updated word count displayed in the background every month is enough.

Enough!
Chapter completed!
