Chapter 807: Bloody battle in Huainan, unable to turn the tide!

On the Yangtze River, ship sails were like clouds, constantly sailing toward the opposite shore.

Gazing at the burning bridges and sinking boats of the Northern Ming, Xie An on the shore couldn't help but reveal astonishment in his eyes: "Not good, the Northern Ming has completely abandoned water warfare and intends to rush over in one go. The Governor is in danger!"

"General Xie, what should we do now?"

Looking at Xie An beside him, the deputy general revealed a fearful expression.

Because he knew the Northern Ming's land warfare capability too well; they pacified Liaodong in the North, pacified the thirty-six countries in the West, and had never been defeated!

"Organize the army as soon as possible to guard against the Northern Ming landing, otherwise we will be in trouble!"

Thinking of the large ships rushing toward the shore, constantly beating war drums, Xie An immediately became stern.

And on the Yangtze River, Huan Wen was directing the signal soldiers to wave flags, controlling the warships under his command.

But in terms of the number of warships, the Great Ming was no less than the Eastern Jin.

Over these two years of constant looting of Kyushu Island, Zhang Cheng was preparing for going south.

Watching the auxiliary troops tear through the defense line, Zhang Cheng looked at Huan Wen and laughed loudly: "Huan Wen, you have lost, hahaha!"

"Zhang thief, you are now alone on the ship, do you think you can still live?"

Roaring, Huan Wen couldn't help but draw his precious sword and say, "Slaughter him for this Governor!"

Watching the Eastern Jin soldiers holding long spears step forward, Zhang Cheng also couldn't help but wave his long halberd and say, "Do you not know that the Great Ming's number one fierce general is me? Just relying on you, you want to kill me!"

Speaking to this point, Zhang Cheng held his long halberd and rushed up directly.

Gazing at Zhang Cheng, who stirred up a bloody storm on the deck, Huan Wen finally realized that the other party dared to jump over alone, which proved that he was truly capable of fighting!

And watching Zhang Cheng constantly rushing up, the deputy general hurriedly shouted, "Governor, hurry and take a small boat to leave, we will cover the rear!"

"Zhang thief! I will definitely kill you next time!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in anger, Huan Wen couldn't help but roar, then turned and ran.

Because if he stayed, he would probably really be left on the ship by Zhang Cheng.

"Huan Wen, don't go!"

Watching Huan Wen's back, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but knock over the Eastern Jin soldiers before him.

And just as the battle on the river was raging, the Eastern Jin soldiers on the shore were also in a panic, carrying out interception.

Landing on the shore, Zhang Hao had just come down when he saw the sky full of arrows striking.

"Raise shields, raise shields!"

Roaring loudly, the personal guards beside him immediately rushed up.

And just after a burst of metal collision sounds, Zhang Hao excitedly lifted the shield and roared, "Soldiers, follow this General to charge, this is the first to land!"

"First to land!"

Hearing Zhang Hao's words, the Red Liang Army behind him also shouted and rushed up.

Gazing at the brave Red Liang Army, Xie An couldn't help but wave his hand and say, "Defend!"

"Defend!"

The horn sounded; on both sides of the Yangtze River, the battle was truly a mess.

For the Great Ming, placing the battlefield on the Yangtze River was absolutely not a wise choice, because Northern people were generally not good at water warfare; this was an indisputable fact.

But if the battlefield was divided into two areas, it would be different.

Zhang Cheng, as the Emperor, personally led the water auxiliary troops to intercept Huan Wen on the river, while Zhang Hao took the opportunity to land on the shore and crush the defensive troops.

What he wanted to do was not to completely crush the Eastern Jin, but to stir up the battlefield situation!

Only after the large army crossed the Yangtze River would they launch a fatal attack!

And wanting to crush the Eastern Jin on the Yangtze River, even Zhang Cheng couldn't do it; after all, they were too different in all aspects!

But losing was losing; he could stir up the situation!

Facing Zhang Hao's frontal charge, Xie An, after seeing the two armies fighting, finally understood why the Northern Ming could sweep away the Hu people!

Because the combat effectiveness of this group of people was truly terrifying!

Gazing at the Red Liang Army veterans, even if they were struck by two swords, they still beheaded the Eastern Jin soldiers; only then did he understand that Huan Wen's Northern Expedition failure was not due to a lack of strategy, but due to the Eastern Jin's own insufficiency!

"Press up, press up, don't be afraid, the Northern Ming is not a wild beast!"

Commanding loudly, Xie An couldn't help but roar.

But watching the constantly collapsing battle line, Xie An also drew the long sword at his waist and stepped forward, saying, "Follow this General to kill!"

"Kill!"

Emitting a roar, the Eastern Jin soldiers, seeing Xie An step forward, also summoned their courage.

And gazing at the Eastern Jin soldiers who were originally about to break, Zhang Hao couldn't help but be stunned and said, "These Jiangdong rats actually have such courage, truly amazing!"

"General Zhang, that person is His Majesty's uncle!" Looking at Zhang Hao, the deputy general hurriedly explained.

"What? He is His Majesty's uncle?"

Looking at the deputy general in shock, Zhang Hao was completely dumbfounded and couldn't help but freeze in place.

"Right, he is the Imperial Noble Consort's uncle, isn't that His Majesty's uncle?"

Inquiring to Zhang Hao, the deputy general asked.

"All soldiers, listen to the order, hurry and capture His Majesty's uncle for me!"

Looking at Xie An in the distance, only to see Zhang Hao roar.

Following the completion of Zhang Hao's words, the Red Liang Army, who were originally fighting in a bloody battle, froze in place, and then looked at Xie An, who was drawing his sword and stepping forward.

Looking at this scene in shock, Xie An couldn't help but freeze in place and say, "Wait, why are they staring at me like this!"

When a person is stared at by a wolf, he might feel fear, but if he is stared at by a pack of wolves, he would probably run.

And Xie An now had this feeling, because the Red Liang Army from all directions was staring at him dead.

"Go up, capture His Majesty's uncle!"

Roaring hysterically, a Red Liang soldier couldn't help but roar, "This hundred mu of fertile land belongs to me!"

"Get lost, this is my hundred mu of fertile land!"

!

Following another Red Liang soldier's roar, the soldiers around them scrambled to be first.

"Middle General Xie, why don't you run first!"

Watching the Red Liang Army rushing up, the deputy general couldn't help but panic.

"I, how can I retreat!"

Gazing at the scene before him, Xie An, even if he was very panicked in his heart, still didn't want to run, because if he withdrew, the defense on the shore would be completely destroyed!

"Hahaha, who can stop me!"

Holding a large saber and moving forward all the way, Zhang Hao, leading over a thousand personal guards, had already killed his way to the banner.

And gazing at Zhang Hao before him, Xie An also couldn't help but feel a tremor of fear.

Because this was the Northern Ming's number one fierce general!

"Xie An?"

Gazing at the elegant man before him, Zhang Hao couldn't help but reveal a ferocious smile and say, "If you weren't His Majesty's uncle, I would really like to hang your head on the banner!"

"His Majesty's uncle?"

Hearing this sentence, Xie An immediately roared, "Stop talking nonsense, when did my Xie family have a kinship with the Zhang thief!"

"His Majesty's Imperial Noble Consort is the Xie family girl; in this way, we can be considered relatives, right? Why not surrender!"

Rushing up, Zhang Hao's large saber slashed down, directly hacking Xie An away.

But just when Xie An hadn't had time to get up, Zhang Hao had already killed the surrounding personal guards.

"Boom!"

The banner broke, only to see Xie An looking at this scene in disbelief, unable to believe that they, the Eastern Jin, had invested so many troops and sent various good generals, yet in just a few days, the Yangtze River defense was broken. Could it be that the Northern Ming was truly invincible?

On the river battlefield, when Zhang Cheng saw Zhang Hao tear through the defense, he immediately raised the long halberd in his hand and roared, "Great Ming is invincible!"

"Great Ming is invincible!"

Under the deafening roar, Huan Wen also looked at the shore and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Because this time, he truly was unable to turn the tide.
