Cheng Pu and Lu Su, their expressions changed in shock, and they jumped up almost at the same time, as if their ears had misheard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Didn't the pottery thief go to destroy Shu, why would the water army suddenly kill me Chaisang?" Cheng Pu was shocked and dazed, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Lu Su had calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "General Dong, in the scout's report, how many Wei troops are there?" ”

Dong Xi replied: "According to the waiting, there are more than 200 warships in the Wei army, and the number of sailors should be about 7,000 people. ”

"Seven thousand water army...... Lu Su frowned, secretly calculated, and quickly judged that this should be the Wei navy led by Ma Yuan and Gan Ning, not the main force of the Wei army.

"How could the Wei Navy appear near Chaisang, and what kind of trick is the pottery thief doing?" Cheng Pu said in surprise.

Lu Su paced with his hands in his hands, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

After a moment, his body shook suddenly, as if he had suddenly realized, and a trace of horror burst out of his face, obviously, he had seen through the potter's intentions.

At that moment, Lu Su said: "In this way, the pottery merchant went to Baqiu before, and released a rumor, claiming to relieve the siege of Jiangling, and then take advantage of the situation to destroy Shu, it is just a plan to attack the east and the west, the purpose is to let the king withdraw the main force back to Jiangdong, and then take advantage of the decrease in my Chaisang troops, suddenly go down the river to the east, and seize the important town of Chaisang!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Pu and Dong Xi, the two generals, looked shocked, and suddenly realized.

Cheng Pu was shocked at first, but immediately, a deep cold crumb burned on his old face.

It is important to know that Chaisang is an important town operated by the Sun family for many years, the city is strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, and from the two banks of the river to the west of Chaisang, there are several camps, constituting a strict defense system.

Once upon a time, when Liu Biao ruled Jingzhou, he also tried to take advantage of the lack of Chaisang troops several times to lead the army to attack several times, but they all returned.

At present, the pottery merchant's plan to attack the west is indeed treacherous, but if he wants to attack Chaisang with 7,000 sailors, it is too underestimated to underestimate them.

Don't say it's 7,000, even if the potter comes with 70,000 horses, it will not be easy to break through Chaisang in a short time.

"This pottery thief, after winning a few times in the water war, he was arrogant, thinking that I only had 10,000 water troops in Chaisang, so I wanted to rely on 7,000 water troops to take advantage of the weakness to attack, it was really arrogant, the old man just destroyed his 7,000 water army this time, in order to avenge the defeat of Hanjin!"

Cheng Pu was arrogant, seeing that the Wei army had few naval troops, his heart of revenge suddenly rose, and he decided to lead the naval army to fight and annihilate the invading enemy.

Lu Su's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "General Cheng is calm, my Chaisang is well garrisoned, and I am not afraid of the enemy attacking at all, according to Su's opinion, it is better to be cautious, it is better to stick to Chaisang, and quickly report to the king, before the king makes it clear, it is better not to take the initiative to attack, so as not to follow in the footsteps of the previous Hanjin defeat." ”

Lu Su's words sounded extremely harsh to Cheng Pu, as if he was satirizing him for rushing to battle before, but was defeated by Ma Yuan.

Cheng Pu's face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly: "The reason why the pottery thief was able to win the previous time was only because of the narrowness of the Han River, so that he could use the plan of paving the river with a fire raft, and now that he is on the Yangtze River, he will not want to repeat his old tricks." ”

"Old General......

Lu Su still needed to be reminded, but Cheng Pu waved his hand resolutely: "The water army of the potter dog thief is not dominant, if our army only blindly shrinks and waits for help, won't it damage its morale and fuel the arrogance of the dog thief, this time, the old man must fight, and he must be ashamed before the snow!" ”

Lu Su had nothing to say, so he thought that Cheng Pu's words seemed to be reasonable, if the potters really came to get Chaisang with only a few thousand sailors, it was indeed not a matter of concern.

It's just that for some reason, Lu Su's heart always felt that something was wrong, and the potter of Jue attacked this time, which was not so simple.

After weighing it, Lu Su wanted to persuade him again, but Cheng Pu didn't give him a chance to speak, picked up his weapon, strode away angrily, and went straight to the water village.

Although he Lu Su was trusted by Sun Ce and was entrusted to guard the important town of Chaisang, he was only assisting Cheng Pu, as a deputy general, the main general was so resolute, he only had to obey orders.

At that moment, Lu Su had to tell Cheng Pu not to despise the enemy and to fight carefully.

As soon as noon passed, Cheng Pu led 300 warships and 8,000 sailors to sail out of the Chaisang Water Village.

……

Upstream, Ma Yuan was leading the Great Wei army eastward, and when the Wu army set out, he was close to the river forty miles west of Chaisang.

According to the plan, the task of Ma Yuan's naval army is not really to capture Chaisang, but to put on an offensive posture and lure the Wu State naval army out of Chaisang City.

Ma Yuan was rewarded by the scouts, and when he heard that Cheng Pu had indeed led a large army to meet the attack, he was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the fleet to move forward quickly.

Before dusk, the two fleets, on the river west of Chaisang, finally met together.

As far as the eye can see, there are nearly 500 warships in the east and west of the river, and the endless sail shadows cover the sky and the sun, like two angry dragons, roaring and rushing towards each other in the rumbling war drums.

Cheng Pu raised his eyes and saw that on the flagship of the Wei army, there was a handsome flag with the word "horse", and he immediately knew that the commander of this Wei army was his old enemy Ma Yuan.

"Pretending to be a thief of Fubo, the only time in my life Cheng Pu lost a water battle was to lose in your hands, this shame, the old man must wash the snow today!"

When the enemy met, Cheng Pu gritted his teeth, and immediately ordered the whole army to press and crush the Wei army in one fell swoop.

The Wu army is huge, the huge building ship sits in the center, the fighting ships full of crossbowmen protect the two wings, and countless ships rush like swordfish to gallop around, and the Wu people rely on the advantage of the tall ship, put on an iron-like formation, and push against the river.

Cheng Pu's ship formation was impeccable, and Ma Yuan could see at a glance that any tactics such as fire attacks would be ineffective, and the only thing left was to fight hard.

On the fighting ship, Ma Yuan looked at the surging enemy formation, and the pride of hunting was burning in his chest.

In the previous battle of Hanjin, he has proven his strength and won the recognition of potters, and in today's battle, he will consolidate his achievements and gain more fame.

Seeing that Cheng Pu, a defeated subordinate, was murderous again, the battle spirit in Ma Yuan's heart had unconsciously boiled to the peak.

The fighting spirit was wild, the blood was boiling, Ma Yuan pointed the big gun in his hand, and shouted: "The whole army is pressed and fights to the death with Wu Gou!" ”

Woo woo woo -

The horn of slaughter sounded, and above the flagship, the flag waved, and the rumbling war drums rose to the sky.

The officers and men of the Wei army, two hundred Wei warships, braved the wind and waves, and fearlessly swept up towards the fierce enemy.

7,000 soldiers against 8,000 enemy soldiers, 200 warships against 300 enemy ships, and there was not much difference between the two armies in terms of numbers.

However, the Wei army had fewer fighting ships than the enemy, and there was no overlord on the river such as Lou boats, and the number and quality of the warships were inferior to the enemy.

So what!

From the Battle of Chibi to the Battle of Hanjin, the newly built naval army of the Great Wei Dynasty has broken through the Wu State several times in a row, completely breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Wu army in water warfare and establishing unprecedented confidence.

When encountering the enemy again today, not only the morale of the horse aid was high, but the soldiers under his command were not afraid at all.

The two fleets collided like angry dragons, entangled and fought fiercely on the vast river.

The Wu people have a building boat, the crossbowmen have a condescending advantage, and the horse aid navy is more rushing, strong mobility, conducive to hand-to-hand combat, the two sides give full play to their advantages, more than 500 warships melee together, from dusk to evening, only kill countless floating corpses on the river, and it is not difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat from the blood stained by the river.

At the time of the bloody battle ahead, the follow-up cavalry commanded by the pottery merchant followed up to the river bank more than ten miles away.

The terrain here is that the steeper the mountains on both sides of the river, it is difficult to march again, and the Yangtze River has shrunk into a bottleneck here, and Chaisang City is located at the eastern end of the bottleneck.

The potters could no longer advance on land, so they had to station their troops and horses here and send people to inquire about the battle ahead.

The potter did not hope that Ma Yuan would be able to defeat Cheng Pu in one battle, and he knew very well that his navy would lose something after this battle.

However, in order to lure Wu Jun to come out, he had to use blood to play this big scene of luring the enemy to absolute realism, so that Cheng Puxin thought it was true and believed that he just wanted to capture Chaisang from the water.

When the remnant sun sank in the west, the news finally came back to the dry camp, and the battle on the river had ended, and the final result was that the horse aid lost 1,000 soldiers and more than 40 warships.

Although Ma Yuan took the initiative to retreat, Cheng Pu also knew that he could not defeat Ma Yuan in one fell swoop, and seeing that it was getting late and could not fight again, he had no choice but to retreat.

At the end of this battle, the Wei army not only lost a thousand sailors, but even Ma Yuan himself was hit by an arrow in his shoulder.

When the lanterns were hung high, the naval fleet was finally guided by the firelight and returned to the water camp.

As he approached the water village, the potter saw that almost every battleship was full of arrows, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and he could already imagine the fierceness of the battle at that time.

The flagship docked, and the wounded horse reinforcement jumped out of the boat.

The potter, who had been waiting on the shore for a long time, hurriedly came forward in person, sent the horse to help, and exclaimed: "Wen Yuan, this battle has worked hard for you." ”

Although Ma Yuan was injured, his face burned with excitement, and he said with a smile: "It's just a small injury, it's not enough to worry about, but fortunately, the last general has completed the task assigned by the king, and most of Chaisang's Wu army has been brought out by Cheng Pu, and the king's plan has succeeded." ”

"Very good, your credit, this king has written it down." The potter patted the horse with relief, and then asked him to be sent back to the camp and asked Bian Que to treat him urgently.

After sending off Ma Yuan, the potter's eyes looked to the east again, the eagle's eyes were full of hope, and he muttered: "The first step has been successful, and next, it depends on Xiang Yu's second step, whether Chai Sang can break through quickly depends on him." ”
