It turned out that at this time, the follow-up soldiers and horses of the Xiongba Battalion brought by Pang Yan also passed through Guishe Gorge by boat. Hearing the movement from the water village of Guishe Gorge, Pang Yan sent people to the water village to support Ling Cao, but at the same time took the initiative to lead people After landing on the south bank of the Yangtze River, they rushed up along the hillside on the west side of Guishan Mountain.
At this moment, Huang Zu's soldiers and horses on the cliff were all paying attention to the Snake Mountain side connected to the water village, and there was no defense on the Guishan Mountain side. As a result, Pang Yan carried a double-headed mace and led people to kill him, almost without any hindrance.
Just at this time, Pang Yan appropriately blocked the retreat of Huang Zu's remnant soldiers.
Of course, after Pang Yan led his men to rush up the cliff on the Guishan side, the Huangzu soldiers on the cliff of Snake Mountain began to despair.
Then Pang Yan also heard the words of his own people shouting "Surrender quickly, surrender quickly", so Pang Yan also asked his soldiers on the other side to shout "Surrender quickly, surrender quickly!"
Seeing that Huang Zu's soldiers on the opposite side were still hesitant, Pang Yan couldn't help but sized up the cliff on the Guishan side, and then looked at the two cliff fractures about ten steps away, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
"Hey, if you don't surrender, when will you wait, and let a certain family let you know that a certain family is amazing!"
Then Pang Yan walked to the edge of the cliff, lifted a stone the size of a table with his arms, and quickly lifted it over his head before throwing it to the cliff on the other side.
"Woo...boom..."
This stone, which weighed hundreds of catties, fell on the cliff on the other side with the sound of whistling wind, and a big hole more than two meters deep was smashed on the ground, which made the soldiers of Huangzu around look at it one by one. dumbfounded.
"General Pang is mighty, General Pang is mighty!"
"Surrender quickly! Surrender quickly!"
Among the more than 2000 soldiers brought by Pang Yan, there were also more than 1000 crossbow soldiers. They pointed their crossbows at the soldiers of Huang Zu on the cliff on the opposite bank.
Seeing Pang Yan's power, several military marquises on the cliff of Snake Mountain who commanded the soldiers were all dumbfounded. They dared not have any other thoughts. After looking at each other, they dropped their weapons one after another. He opened his mouth and said, "We are willing to surrender! We are willing to surrender!"
So the soldiers on Pang Yan's side rushed over along the trestle bridge connecting the two cliffs, and the soldiers led by Ling Cao on the other side also took the opportunity to rush up, taking the remaining 500 soldiers and the three armies of the Guishe Gorge to the ground. Hou all won.
After the Xiongba camp commanded by Pang Yan captured the Guishe Gorge, there were no dangerous barriers to go to Xiling County, the hometown of Huangzu in Jiangxia.
Therefore, Pang Yan just occupied Guishexia water village first, and waited for Zhu Wei's follow-up army to come up. However, there are official roads connecting E County to Xiling County, so even if Zhu Wei's army landed here, it would be impossible You can go to Xiling County by taking the land road official road from the north bank of the Yangtze River.
There may be a Zhu County in the middle, but this Zhu County is only a small county, and it can't hinder Zhu Wei's army.
Originally, the waterways of the Yangtze River and the official roads on land were also convenient for Jiangxia Huangzu's soldiers and horses to quickly come to the Guishexia Water Village through both water and land. Come quickly.
But now that Zhu Wei succeeded in attacking Guishe Gorge, Zhu Wei can also directly face Xiling County, Huangzu's old nest, through water and land directions.
Of course, the Guishexia Water Village is still an important place, and Zhu Wei needs to send troops to stay behind, otherwise Su Fei and Gan Ning in Shaxian County, Cai Mao in Jiangling, and Liu Biao in Xiangyang can all send troops Going down the river, they recaptured the Guishe Gorge and blocked the retreat of Zhu Wei's army on the Yangtze River waterway.
And according to Wang Yuyan's previous military strategy arrangement, Guishexia can also become Zhu Wei's water camp for this army to attack Jiangxia, so it is necessary to leave a soldier here to rebuild the defense of Guishexia Water Village Facing, turn the focus of defense to the west side, so that the retreat of Zhu Wei's army can also be protected.
At the same time, at the Guishexia water village, Zhu Wei will also divide part of his troops to go overland to Xiling County.
Of course, Zhu Wei's main force will continue to go west along the Yangtze River to Xiling County by boat, after all, this can save the soldiers' physical strength.
As for after conquering Xiling County, it depends on the situation before deciding on the next strategy, so the Guishexia water village is also of great significance in Wang Yuyan's arrangement.
Although the terrain of Guishe Gorge is not suitable as a checkpoint for defending the troops from Jingzhou, it can also be built into an important water fortress above the Yangtze River by building a new water village.
Now that Pang Yan has occupied the Guishexia water village, he will follow the strategy formulated by Wang Yuyan before and sit in the Guishexia water village first, waiting for Zhu Wei's main force to come up.
In this way, it can be ensured that the water village will not be lost again due to Huang Zu's counterattack, but Pang Yan sent Ling Cao with [-] soldiers as the vanguard to advance from land to Xiling County, and take Zhu County by the way. It can be regarded as preparation for the follow-up movement of the army.
Of course, when Pang Yan was at Guishexia Water Village, he also counted the captures of this battle, and the harvest was not small.
This Guishexia Water Village is considered to be the location of Jiangxia Huangzu's navy camp, and there are actually two medium-sized warships in the water village, which are large warships that can accommodate a thousand people.
In addition, [-] light warships of the same size as the warship light warships obtained in the Shuizhai of Qichun County were also seized, which is almost the same as the original Jiangxia city information that Zhu Wei saw.
It is estimated that there are three other light ships that are either on the side of Su Fei and Gan Ning in Shaxian County, or they were driven back to Xiling County by Huang She.
For the official navy, the river boats used by Zhu Wei are just civilian boats. When it comes to water battles, it is easy for rockets to burn the masts and ignite the hull. In order to prevent fire and arrows, even if there is no mast sail, people can directly paddle and drive quickly on the water.
Therefore, the main force of the ships in the Guishexia water village are these real warships. It has to be said that the navy forces on the Jingzhou side are still quite strong, not to mention the navy trained by Cai Mao on the Jiangling side. It is Jiangxia Huangzu's naval strength, and it is not considered weak.
It was only because of the surprise attack on the water village this time that Huang Zu's navy failed to display its due combat effectiveness at all. As a result, these medium-sized and light warships were captured without any damage. Wei's strength in the Yangtze River water battle.
In fact, in addition to these warships sailing on inland rivers and lakes, there is also a super-large warship that can sail on the sea.
However, the construction of that kind of warship is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive, and basically few people will build it. At least now, there is no need for the Jingzhou Navy to build such a sea-going ship. Their warships are mainly based on the Yangtze River. The needs of the water battle on the sea are the main ones.
Well, Zhu Wei thinks that he might build such a super warship that can sail at sea in the future, but that will be after he takes control of Jiangdong. Now he doesn't even have the idea of building an ordinary warship by himself, anyway, use these seized warships Warships are enough...
