Hanshuisheng, Baige hair, micro-into Tuanshan. The next day, we entered Gaotou Port and settled down. Each ship is equipped with a musket, cannon, burning charcoal, axe and crossbow. It leaks for three minutes at night, and when you get out of the river, you will know at a red light. You climb first, follow the temple, ride the wind and waves, and break through the tight encirclement. Above Mohongtan, the sailors of the northern army are all over the country, and there is no gap to enter. They saved hundreds of people with broken shovels, fought in 120, and arrived in Xiangcheng at dawn. The city has been out of aid for a long time. When it heard that it was saved, it was full of enthusiasm. And the army, lost alone. A few days later, a floating corpse went upstream, was stopped, took an arrow with a bow, and arrived at the floating beam. Seeing that it was smooth, it fired six arrows and was furious. The armies were surprised to think that they were gods, so they gathered graves to bury them and set up temples to worship them.

Zhang Gui arrived in Xiang, Xiang and Du urged him to stay in * * *. You rely on his bravery, and you have to repay him, so you can keep two people in the water for a few days without eating, and let them take wax books to ask for help. The northern soldiers stepped up their defense, and the waterway chain was dozens of miles, dotted with fish and shrimp, although it was not suitable. When the two armies met, they sawed off the stake and reached Ying, reporting that Xu had led five thousand troops to Longweizhou to meet them.

On the appointed day, it's time to bid farewell to Wen Huandong, look at all his troops, board the ship, one person died in front of the account, but others were attacked. You are surprised and say, "I let it out. I am in a hurry to do it. He may not know." I can't hide a trace, but I will build a boat with a gun. I'll break through at night and rush over, and everyone will be relaxed. When it was out of danger, it was already dark in the middle of the night. When we arrived in the small new town, the soldiers invited us to attack and refused to fight with death. There are torches along the coast, and candlelight is like day.

Zhang Shun is a militia. Xiangyang city was besieged for five years. The generals in the Song Dynasty knew that there was a river in the northwest called Niqing River, which originated in Zhou Jun and Zhoufang. Hundreds of light ships have been built here, and three ships are connected to form a ship. The middle boat is used to transport soldiers, while the left and right boats are hollowed out and covered as a cover. Song will offer a large reward for recruiting dead people and get 3 thousand. Want to recruit generals, recruit Zhang Shun, Zhang Gui. People call Zhang Shun "Shorty Zhang" and Zhang Gui "Bamboo Garden Zhang". They are both wise and brave, and they have always been impressed by the soldiers and have been named commander in chief. They ordered: "This operation is only a death. If you don't follow your heart, you'd better leave quickly and don't interfere with our major events. " Soldiers, everyone is excited.

The Hanshui River rose, sending hundreds of warships and slowly entering the foot of Tuanshan Mountain. After two days, I entered Gaotou Port, and after the fortifications were arranged, I equipped the ship with muskets, artillery, red-hot charcoal, huge tomahawks and powerful crossbows. After midnight ("Leak" is an ancient timekeeper, which refers to the water dripping from a funnel. "The next three hours" means that an ancient hour is divided into three hours (up, middle and down), sailing for the river and taking the red light as the signal. Zhang Gui is the pioneer and Zhang Shun is the rear. They braved the wind and waves and quickly broke through the encirclement. Above Mohongtan, the warships of the Yuan Army are all over the river, and there is no gap to break. All the soldiers took advantage of the momentum, cut off hundreds of chained ships, fought for 20 miles, and arrived at Xiangyang at dawn. Xiangyang city has not been rescued for a long time. When I heard that reinforcements had arrived, my morale suddenly rose a hundred times. Withdraw, only see Zhang Shun. A few days later, a floating corpse went upstream, dressed in armor and holding a bow and arrow, and floated to the bottom of the pontoon bridge. When people saw that it was Zhang Shun, he was shot four times and six arrows, and his face was full of angry expressions, as if he were still alive. All the soldiers thought he was a god, so they built a monument for him and a temple to worship him.

After Zhang Gui arrived in Xiangyang, Xiangyang Shoujiang Lu tried to stay and guard Xiangyang with them. Relying on his bravery, Zhang Gui wanted to go back to Ying, so he recruited two soldiers who could stay underwater for several days without eating, wrapped letters in wax and sent them to Ying, asking for help. Yuan soldiers increased guards more closely, blocked dozens of miles of waterways in a row, and arranged scattered star piles, even fish and shrimp could not be spent. The two men sawed off the scattered pile of stars with a saw. Finally, they arrived at Ying and provided information. The garrison commander agreed to be stationed in Kyubi no Youko to help them attack.

Shortly after pacifying Xiangyang, Zhang Gui said goodbye to Huan Wen and went down to the East. He examined his men and found that a man who had made a mistake and was whipped had escaped before boarding the ship. Zhang Gui exclaimed, "My master is going to leak. Let's move quickly. The enemy may not know it yet. " When it was impossible to hide his whereabouts, he fired a gun, drummed and set sail, went down the river in the night, cut off the iron lock, broke through the tight encirclement, boldly advanced, and the enemy retreated in panic. After rushing out of the danger, it was already late at night and came to Xiaoxin Town. The enemy's serious illness kept causing war, but they refused to fight. Bundles of grass and torches were placed along the coast, and the fire made the sky as bright as day. When we arrived at Goulin Beach and approached Longweizhou, we saw the distant warships putting away their flags. The soldiers were very happy and lit a meteor fire as a signal. Zhang Gui's warships were greeted by fire. When they approached a place, they found that all the soldiers were Yuan soldiers. It turned out that two days ago, the soldiers who should be sent swallowed up the station troops 30 miles away because of the geomantic omen. The Yuan army got the report of desertion and occupied Longweizhou earlier and earlier. Zhang Gui was already tired from playing. Unexpectedly, he was almost killed and was shot dozens of times. He was captured because of physical exhaustion, and finally he would rather die than surrender. The Yuan Army then ordered four surrendered soldiers to carry Zhang Gui's body to Xiangyang and shouted at the gate, "Do you know Xiao Zhang? This is it. " The people guarding the city cried and the morale in the city was low. Huan Wen killed four dead soldiers, buried Zhang Gui in front of Zhang Shun's grave, and built a double temple to honor them.
