Sun Ce ordered in a panic, and on the top floor of the flagship, the flag bearer was anxious to shake the order flag and pass down the order. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The flagship's order was conveyed, and in the forward formation, twenty ships and ships sped out quickly, and pounced on the fireship.

The Wu army is also good at fire attacks, and before departure, Sun Ce was already guarding against the Wei army from attacking them with fire, so in the fleet, the accompanying army also followed many fire-resisting ships.

Sun Ce never thought that these fire-resisting ships would come in handy, and he didn't expect that Gan Ning's strength was so strong that he would reroute his fireboat and crash into him in the opposite direction.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Wu Jun rejected the fireboats, and reluctantly stopped them before the fireboats approached the fleet.

Soon, most of the fireboats were stopped, and Wu pawns hooked the fireboats with hooks and rods, sailed the roaring fireboats to the north shore, and dragged them to the shore to safe waters.

Although the Wu people tried their best, the fireships that went down the river were too fast, and the soldiers on the fire-resisting ships only blocked most of the fireboats, and several fireships broke through their barriers and crashed straight into the Wu fleet.

Sun Ce's face had changed, and he panicked on the spot, shouting: "All the fire-resisting ships will be dispatched to block the fireships that have leaked through the net for this king, and order all ships to adjust their direction to avoid the impact of fireships!" ”

The order was laid, and the remaining twenty fire-resisting ships also went out one after another to stop the fireships that crashed into the formation.

At the same time, without Sun Ce's orders, on the river, the ships of the Wu army urgently adjusted their hulls in a panic to avoid the incoming fireboats.

In the blink of an eye, the originally neat Wu fleet became a mess, and the ships turned one after another, for fear of being burned by the fire ship, and the incident was urgent, and several ships did not have time to pay attention, and in the process of turning around, they actually collided with their own warships.

At this time, the follow-up fire-resisting ships rushed up, barely blocking a few fireboats, but there was still one fireboat, which broke through the two barriers of the Wu army's fire-resisting and collided head-on with a fighting ship of the Wu army that was not as good as dodging.

Rumble!

In the loud sound of impact, the unlucky fighting ship was directly hit on the flank, and the whole ship tilted diagonally and violently, and more than a dozen soldiers on the other side were thrown directly into the Yangtze River without grasping it for a while.

Then, the fireship filled with fire oil ignited the ship in an instant, and the fire spread rapidly, and in an instant, most of the warship was burned.

On the ship, the soldiers of Wu were completely panicked, and the frightened soldiers howled, and they fled to the other side of the boat, and many people fell directly into the river in panic before they had time to squeeze into the boat.

And those soldiers who could not jump and run were mercilessly devoured by the fire, and one by one they were burned into burning men, turning around in the sea of fire, and the terrible howl was terrifying to hear.

A Wu army fighting ship immediately burned into a moving fire, and when it lost control, it randomly drifted downstream on its own.

What was originally a small fireship has turned into a huge fireship at this moment, and the threat has doubled.

Fortunately, the remaining seven or eight fire-resisting ships arrived in time, and dozens of fire-resisting rods poked out, locking the fighting ship from different directions, and with all their might, they finally dragged it downstream, preventing the fireboat from flowing down the river and spreading the fire to other warships.

The fireboat was towed to the shore, the entire fleet finally lifted the threat, the original chaotic formation began to recover, and the panicked Wu pawn gradually calmed down.

Although the threat has been lifted, on the flagship of the building, Sun Ce's face is still gloomy, his face has palpitations, and among the eagles, there is even more hatred.

He felt as if he had been slapped by the potter again, and his face was painful and spicy, and he was extremely ashamed.

"Pottery thief, you're actually—" Sun Ce was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and his fists clenched until they clicked.

Aggressive, with the confidence of victory, but once again being played by the potter, Sun Ce felt that his dignity was once again deeply humiliated by the potter.

"Why, why does our navy obviously have an advantage, but it just can't win against the pottery thief? Why is that? ”

Sun Ce, who was sad and angry, looked up to the sky and sighed, his heart was extremely angry and confused, and his eyes showed a confused look.

Under the anger, he had the impulse to press the whole army, even if it was at all costs, to break through the Wei camp.

"King, the pottery thief is quite well prepared, it seems that he has considered all our tactics, and now the fighting spirit of the soldiers has been frustrated, and it is inappropriate to attack strongly, so we all think that we should temporarily withdraw our troops and restore morale, and it is not too late to attack again in the future." At this time, Pang Tong beside him stepped forward decisively and persuaded and reminded.

Pang Tong's words finally calmed down Sun Ce's anger slightly, and his clenched fists slowly loosened, but there was still unwillingness in his eyes.

Pang Tong was only afraid of Sun Ce's impulsiveness, so he smiled and said with relief: "Although our army has suffered a small defeat today, it has lost a few hundred people, a fighting ship, and it has not suffered much damage. ”

Pang Tong saw that Sun Ce couldn't swallow this breath, and hurriedly paved the steps for Sun Ce.

Sun Ce's expression calmed down at this time, and in his eagle eyes, he rekindled his confidence.

At the same time, he also saw clearly that the potter was indeed prepared and stubbornly withstood the attack of his army, but the loss caused to himself was only the loss of a fighting ship, and he did not suffer substantial losses, and the 55,000 elite sailors were still intact.

Sun Ce believed that, as Pang Tong said, he had seen all the means of defense of the pottery merchants, as long as he went back to rest and recuperate, adjusted his tactics, and was not afraid that he would not be able to break the enemy camp next time.

After pondering for a long time, Sun Ce gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "That's it, let the pottery thief be proud for a few more days, pass the order, the whole army will collect troops and return to the camp, and he will break the enemy camp again in the future." ”

Sun Ce secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly passed on Sun Ce's order.

The order flag began to wave, and more than 1,000 Wu warships received the order to retreat, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time they were unwilling in their hearts.

Not long ago, the generals were still in a state of madness, vowing to take the Wei army's water camp in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, they used various means, but they still failed to shake the Wei camp, but now they have retreated in vain, which really makes the Wu army generals lose face.

The military order is like a mountain, even if the generals are unwilling, they can only grit their teeth and sigh secretly, and have no choice but to lead the ships of the headquarters to retreat.

In a moment, thousands of enemy ships and more than 50,000 Wu soldiers and soldiers retreated gloomily.

In the water camp on the shore, more than 10,000 Wei soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and every young face couldn't help but show an excited smile, waving fists and weapons, cheering, screaming wildly, and bidding farewell to the enemy who retreated with wanton laughter.

"Finally survived this hurdle, Sun Ce, do you still think that you will have another chance to attack the king's water camp......" Looking at the retreating enemy, a meaningful sneer appeared on the face of the pottery merchant.

That night, the potters took all the wine and meat as usual, and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies.

Gan Ning today's battle, with a thousand soldiers and horses, blocked the enemy's ship, but also made a great achievement, naturally became the protagonist of this celebration banquet, under the guidance of the pottery merchant, the generals took turns to respect him, only to pour a Gan Ning into the drunk.

When the potters celebrated here, Sun Ce had retreated to the water camp west of Pengze, and led the disgraced soldiers to land helplessly.

Today's defeat did annoy Sun Ce, but the fighting spirit of this Jiangdong little overlord was not consumed because of this.

After setting up camp, he immediately ordered the transfer of grain and grass from the downstream direction to the front line, and at the same time boosted the morale of the generals, and prepared to launch a second wave of attacks again.

……

On the land and water trail, the mountain infantry of 3,000 people was panting and silently moving forward against the sun overhead.

The weather in late summer and early autumn was still hot, but three thousand sweaty warriors did not complain, silently speeding through the uneven river valley.

A general flag with the word "Cao" flew in the middle of the team.

The military commander with the face of the country walked in the team without saying a word, encouraging the soldiers who had fallen behind from time to time, which was very cordial, making the soldiers feel his approachability.

In the early afternoon, there was an intersection in the valley ahead.

From there, the Lushui River continues to extend in a southeasterly direction until it disappears into the mountains, and in the northeast, the valley leads directly to Mt. Sheep's Head to the north of Mt. Makufu, and through that mountain, it leads to the south of Chaisang.

I think that at the beginning, Xiang Yu just took this road and attacked Chaisang successfully.

But today, it makes no sense for them to walk this path again.

At this time, the military general with the face of the national character passed down the order and ordered the whole army to rest on the spot by the river.

The 3,000 tired soldiers were finally able to catch their breath, and many of them rushed to the river to drink water, while others did not even have the strength to drink water, so they hid directly in the shade of the trees to enjoy the coolness, and they were all relieved for a while.

The military general with a national character face called a guide and a team leader, pointed to the road to the east and asked, "Where does that road lead?" ”

The guide Huo Chang wiped the sweat on his head, glanced at it a few times, and replied: "Back to General Cao, take the road to the east, and go over a few mountain beams to be the boundary of Yuzhang County of the Wu people. ”

"Haidusk City, the king's explanation is really good, starting from Lukou, there is really a way that can be directly inserted into the hinterland of Yuzhang......" The military general with a national character face nodded slightly, and under the thick eyebrows, there was a sneer of excitement in those deep eyes.

Wiping the sweat on his head, the national-faced military general looked at the east and shouted: "When you have enough rest, get up, follow me to attack the sea dusk, and after inserting Wu Guo, I will give Sun Ce a surprise gift!" ”
