Seeing the fleet passing the beach smoothly, Zheng Wenchang breathed a sigh of relief. He went to Changsha, the destination of this time. The river was wide and the water was slow all the way, and there was nothing to worry about.

But he himself was still worried.

Because this time his entire army attacked, he did not receive the order from his superiors.

Although he was permanently stationed in Dongting Lake as part of the entire Hunan War Zone, as a navy, his jurisdiction belonged to the Inland River Navy.

Now the navy of the entire Tang Dynasty is divided into two large pieces, namely the outer sea naval division and the inner river naval division, but the command power is all in the hands of the general Pan Motang, and Li Hao is Pan Motang's deputy, and now the in charge of the inland river naval division.

Zheng Wenchang can actually refuse to send troops openly.

Because he did not receive any orders from the navy.

But when faced with the suggestions of the two giants in the Hunan War Zone, Shi Zhuang, General Shi Zhuang, and Hunan Governor Qian Biao, Zheng Wenchang really didn't have the courage to refuse.

After finally discussing with the generals, everyone felt that even if there were any problems in the future, there would be two tall men, Shi Zhuang and Qian Biao, and it is likely that they would not be able to catch up with them.

After all, as the highest commander of the entire Hunan War Zone, Shi Zhuang also has the power to make decisions at the moment. As the navy stationed in Hunan, they can only obey orders.

Of course, I will send someone to report to the Navy to the top immediately, which is a must.

The entire navy had thirty oar boats, which were the main force of the Dongting Navy. There were artillery set up on it. On each main battleship, two doors were set up on each side of the side, and one door was installed on the front and rear decks.

The emergence of artillery was a revolution of changing the world for Zheng Wenchang, a former Dongting water bandit who was accustomed to fighting in water wars. After seeing the actual operation of various solid bullets and flowering bullets of this kind, he couldn't help but lament the water bandits all over the world or the navy fleets that were enemies of the Tang Dynasty.

The past combat mode will be completely subverted under the strong ships and cannons of the Tang Dynasty Navy.

In addition to the main fleet, nearly a hundred other warships of all sizes, as well as dozens of civilian ships conscripted by Governor Qian Biao, formed a huge team on the Xiangjiang River, heading upstream and heading straight to Changsha.

This is Shi Zhuang's killer weapon.

On land, the troops commanded by Liang Han, and the young and strong recruited by Qian Biao formed a strategic confusing team to attract Ding Sheng's main force in Yiyang.

The other team was led by Chen Changping, and after defeating his opponent at Shuangjiangkou, he rushed all the way to Changsha, forcing Ding Sheng or Ding Hao to mobilize troops to intercept him.

After the two forces on land attracted almost all the opponent's attention, the team Shi Zhuang really relied on.

The so-called black tiger is heart-wrenching, and one move pushes the enemy's confidant to the vital point.

This is no longer a tactical battle for a purpose, it is simply a full-scale war. This is contrary to the basic strategy set by the court at the beginning.

No wonder Zheng Wenchang is uneasy.

When I walked into the cabin, I saw Shi Zhuang sitting by the window reading a book, with a cup of hot tea beside me, and the heat was rising. It looked like a comfortable mode that was not like commanding a large army to fight, but going out to enjoy the scenery.

"General!" He bowed and bowed, Zheng Wenchang walked to the opposite side of Shi Zhuang and sat down.

Putting down the book, Shi Zhuang nodded at the other party with a smile. "General Zheng, this time, I rely on you all."

"I dare not, I'm responsible for my duty!" Zheng Wenchang said: "We have left Dongting Lake and arrived in Changsha, which only took two days."

"It's not just Changsha!" Shi Zhuang said: "There is Xiangtan. After passing Changsha, the Xiangjiang River is not so calm. Is General Zheng prepared?"

"This is something that our navy must do!" Zheng Wenchang laughed: "Did the General think that we were stationed in Dongting Lake and were idle all day long? Over the past year, our people have walked back and forth along the Xiangjiang River several times. There are dangerous shoals and reefs there, and where is suitable for large-scale landings, but we have learned in detail."

"The strength of Hunan Navy?"

Zheng Wenchang laughed and said, "The General of the Good Teachings learned that the strength of the Hunan Navy is better than when I was a bandit in Dongting Lake before, they are naturally quite powerful. But now in my eyes, they are just native chickens and tiles."

"That's great!" Shi Zhuang smiled: "This battle was too hasty. I was a little worried that the navy was not ready for complete war. Now it seems that General Zheng has been planning this matter long ago."

"Our army is stationed in Hunan. Once war starts, we will naturally control the Xiangjiang River. These are things that should be prepared in advance, but General Shi. Is there really no obstacle this time?"

"It's okay! The military situation is like fire. As a general on the front line, you must not hesitate when you need to make a judgment. If you think about it and fear this and that, then you can't do anything!" Shi Zhuang waved his hand.

"But this is equivalent to starting a full war." Zheng Wenchang sighed.

"Absolutely!" Shi Zhuang nodded: "But how could the court predict the current situation when it formulated this policy? At that time, could it be expected that Hunan, Jiangxi and Lingnan could actually be united? The opponent's actions were the first to start a full-scale war with us. We had to react."

"You have ten thousand people here. The navy abandons the sailors on the ship and can dispatch up to 1,000 soldiers. Is this little force a little too weak?" Zheng Wenchang asked worriedly.

Shi Zhuangda laughed.

"Sometimes, it doesn't require too many people. The key is to see if you can hit the weakest place of the other party at once." He stretched out his hand and Shi Zhuang knocked on Zheng Wenchang's chest with a smile: "Why should we strengthen this place comprehensively? It's because this is the most critical place. If it is exposed, people will be saved. Hunan's army is still very good, but now part of them is in Yiyang and the other part is in Xiangtan, and he is attracted by Ren Xiaonian. The heart of Changsha is like taking off the body of a heart protection mirror. We stabbed it with one knife and hit the nail on the head. Then, Hunan will become a mess. At that time, do you think Ding Sheng from Yiyang to save Changsha? Ding Hao from Xiangtan to save Changsha? Hehe, as long as they have this idea, there will be a good show."

Zheng Wenchang nodded silently.

The huge ship walking on the Xiangjiang River is naturally eye-catching, but unfortunately, those who see this situation want to report the situation, but are affected by road geography and other environments. Even if they want to rush the horse, they cannot match the speed of the ship in the Xiangjiang River.

While they were still struggling on the road, the navy of the Tang Dynasty had approached Changsha.

There are naval troops in Hunan, but their naval troops are more used to collect taxes on the Xiang River. As the main river in Hunan, the water transportation on the Xiang River is still very prosperous. It is naturally the responsibility of the naval troops to prevent taxes from being lost from the water. Of course, fighting water bandits is also their duty to do when they are idle.

However, the water bandits are not stupid. Most of them are moving among some small tributaries. It would be fine if they don’t mess with these navy masters. In addition, if they are filial to the festival, they will just make do with it.

All the life of the Hunan Navy is still very comfortable. Moreover, the general who commands the troops is also very wealthy. No matter who it is, it is difficult for him to not get rich in this seat.

Therefore, Bai Sheng has gained weight year by year over the years.

Unlike generals on land, whether walking or riding a horse, they can still play a role in losing weight. Every time this person leads troops to fight, he sits comfortably on the boat. The wine and meat are delicious. Can he not gain weight?

Orange State is the largest garrison of Hunan Navy.

Eighty-percent of the entire navy's hundreds of ships of all sizes gathered in the Orange Prefecture Water Village. The others were scattered in Liuyezhou and Fujiazhou.

Bai Sheng owns a considerable manor in Orange State, and he prefers to stay in Orange State rather than Changsha City. Because only here can he feel that he is the real master.

Recently, the entire Hunan war suddenly broke out. As a navy general, he naturally had to be vigilant, so leading a fleet to patrol along the river was something that must be done.

However, the river wind was like a knife, blowing on the body like a knife, which was really uncomfortable, so although people were on the boat, this navy general rarely appeared on the deck.

His favorite is the warm and comfortable cabin.

It was not until the shrill warning horn sounded all over the river that the navy commander, who was sleeping in a daze, stumbled onto the deck.

Wherever you see are huge paddle boats, rippling white waves, flying towards the current.

Although it is a countercurrent, it seems to be much faster than going downstream by yourself.

"Switch the rudder and return to the flight!" Although I have been enjoying it over the years, Bai Sheng still has the most basic quality. When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered to escape.

This time I patrol, I only brought more than a dozen large sailboats. In the eyes of ordinary people, I was probably a big piece of fat meat.

With loud noises coming, Bai Sheng turned around in panic.

The slowest-running large sailboat was broken into two pieces at this time and was slowly sinking. Behind him, the head of a Tang army warship was rising, smoke was rising.

A strange noise came from the sky. He looked up and saw a black thing passing by his ship, then fell heavily into the water, splashing waves of water more than a foot high.

Bai Sheng was stunned.
