The two groups of men and horses will chase and catch up with the mouth of the lake, and the time is also in the evening, the Jingzhou sailors in front have arrived at Sangluozhou, and they will cross the mouth of the lake to another section of the Yangtze River. Cheng Pu sighed in his heart, after all, he still didn't catch up with these fishing boats! After crossing the mouth of the lake, Cheng Pu knew that he could not chase any further, but should first turn into Dongting Lake and join the water army at the mouth of the lake, and then go from the lake to reinforce Chaisang.

"Quack!" With a few such sounds, several large boats of the Jiangdong Navy Division suddenly stopped after walking nearly half a mile or so on the river, and only those small boats continued to chase forward.

"What's going on?" Cheng Pu was surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered someone to take a look. Several junior colonels looked at it a few times, and the trapped ship exchanged information with each other again, and then replied to Cheng Pu: "General Cheng, it seems that it has hit a rock!" ”

"What, hit the rocks?" Cheng Pu looked incredulous when he heard the news, and then said angrily: "The old man of this river has walked no less than ten times, and the river is two or three zhang deep, how can it hit the reef?" "Cheng Pu didn't know that he hadn't experienced a fierce battle here not long ago, and many warships sank at the bottom of the river.

The little school saw that Cheng Pu was furious, and he also said cautiously at the moment: "Maybe it's not yet the season of rising water, and the river has dried up?" ”

"Huh?" Cheng Pu thought about it, but quickly ruled out the possibility again. This year, there has been a big flood, how can the river dry up. Seeing that his three or two large boats had blocked the river, and it was difficult for large and medium-sized boats to move forward, while the rest of the small boats were still chasing after him, getting farther and farther away from the large army, Cheng Pu suddenly had an ominous premonition, and hurriedly said: "Quickly order the ships in front to stop, don't go deep alone." ”

But it was too late by this time, and a field of torches suddenly lit up on both sides of the canal, and then shouts of killing rang out on both sides, and countless infantry rushed to the shore, while the infantry on Sanglu Island pushed dozens of ballistas.

This ballista is also Liu Cong's idea, in fact, it is to install a rack for the ballista, and then install four small wheels underneath, so that it is more convenient to push than to carry it. Originally, these ballistas were hidden in the building ships and were used to attack the city of Chaisang.

Now that Guan Yu has successfully taken Hukou, it is possible to ambush Cheng Pu, and Liu Cong will not be stingy anymore. Dozens of Taiwan ballistas on both sides of the strait swinged, but strangely they did not launch immediately, but seemed to be waiting for something.

"Kill!" With another shout of killing, dozens of warships came out of the mouth of the lake and fought with the previous Jiangdong Army boats. The leader is none other than Jiang Qin! Immediately, Guan Yu's side also turned the bow of the boat and killed it back! This water battle is different from land warfare, land warfare can be played slowly with you in formation, and water warfare does depend more on the performance of the warship, as well as the individual abilities of the soldiers. Now that the two sides are stuck in this not very spacious river, and there are shipwrecks underneath, it is difficult to have any room to move and dodge, so Guan Yu and Jiang Qin did not bring them through, but they were all nimble.

"Close, fold quickly!" Cheng Pu shouted loudly, when he saw Jiang Qin kill from the mouth of the lake, he was really startled, and immediately understood that the mouth of the lake might have been occupied by the enemy, and Guan Yu really lured himself to pursue! And now both sides are bed crossbows! These two sides are flanked, I don't know...... Cheng Pu subconsciously looked behind him, to the north of Sangluezhou!

Sure enough, what didn't disappoint him was that with the sound of killing at the mouth of the lake, a fleet quickly rushed out of the river north of Sangluzhou, and all the big ships cut off the back road of Cheng Pu and the others! The first is the name of the ban!

"Oops!" Cheng Pu secretly complained in his heart, just these bed crossbows on both sides of the strait were enough to drink a pot for himself, but now he was actually broken on three sides and attacked on both sides! Originally, if the mouth of the lake had not been broken, Cheng Pu could have ordered to rush into Poyang Lake! These death-loving guys, they didn't even report when they lost the lake! At this time, Cheng Pu couldn't wait to make the general stationed at Hukou remote.

But resentment alone doesn't help! Cheng Pu is also a veteran of the battlefield! Cheng Pu has always been known for his courage and seriousness! In his early years, he served as an official in the state and county, and later followed Sun Jian to fight everywhere, fighting against the Yellow Turban thieves Yu Wan and Deng, and breaking Dong Zhuo Yu Yangren. In the second year of Xingping Yuan, after Sun Jian's death, Cheng Pu followed Sun Ce to Huainan and attacked the Lujiang River; After returning, Cheng Pu and Sun Ce both crossed the river to the east.

In the first year of Jian'an, Sun Ce went to Hengjiang and Dangli, broke Zhang Ying, Yu Elk, etc., and then transferred to Moling, Huyi, Jurong, and Qu'a, and Cheng Pu all had merit, so he gave 2,000 additional troops and 50 war horses. Sun Cejin broke Wucheng, Shimu, Bomen, Lingchuan, and Yu Kang, and Cheng Pu had a lot of credit. Jian'an two to four years), after Sun Ce joined the Huiji, Cheng Pu was the governor of Wu County and governed Qian Tang.

Later, he migrated to Danyang Duwei and lived in Shicheng. Cheng Pu revisited the thieves in Xuancheng, Jing, Anwu, Lingyang, and Chungu, and they all broke the thieves.

Sun Ce once attacked Zulang and was surrounded by enemy troops, Cheng Pudu and another cavalry guarded Sun Ce, drove the horse and shouted, waved a spear to break into the thief circle, the thief army was scattered, and Sun Ce could go out with him. Later, Cheng Pu was the general of Dangkou Zhonglang, led Lingling Taishou, from Liu Xun to Xunyang, attacked Huangzu Yu Shaxian, and returned to Shicheng.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce died, and Cheng Pu and Zhang Zhao assisted Sun Quan together, so they went around the three counties and refused to accept it. Among the vanguard generals in the army, Cheng Pu was the eldest, and everyone called Cheng Gong at that time. His personality is generous, and he likes to respect the doctor, but he has not been on good terms with Zhou Yu. According to "The Biography of Jiang Biao": Cheng Pupo insulted Zhou Yu several times because of his old age. Zhou Yu folded and tolerate, and never bothered with Cheng Pu. Cheng Pu later admired Zhou Yu and became more affectionate, and even said to others: "If you have sex with Zhou Gongjin, if you drink mellow mash, you won't feel drunk." ”

After Zhou Yu's death, Sun Quan took Lu Su as the governor, and everyone's respect and trust for Cheng Pu reached an unparalleled level. And now that Chaisang is in trouble, Lu Su also asked Cheng Pu to come by name. It is not only Cheng Pu's military talent that he is interested in, but also the huge energy that stabilizes the morale of the army. But who would have thought that now they are surrounded by Guan Yu, Yu Ban and others!

It's not that Cheng Pu is careless! Along the way, Cheng Pu has been arranging scouts on the shore. It wasn't until today's departure that it was only thirty miles away from the mouth of the lake before it was withdrawn. Cheng Pu's reason is very simple, Hukou is fifty or sixty miles away from the battle of Chaisang. Guan Yu and these people must have bypassed the lake mouth from the northern river of Sangluozhou to investigate. If something happens at the mouth of the lake, someone will tell you!

Seeing that the enemy was well prepared, Cheng Pu knew that there was no chance of winning a hard battle, but he was not in a hurry. Seeing that the soldiers on the small boat in front of him were quickly killed by the bed crossbow under the trap! "It's over!" This thought flashed through Cheng Pu's mind for a moment. But he was not a person who accepted his fate, so he immediately pulled out his sword and said sharply: "Soldiers, now we can't go forward, there are big ships to intercept it, and there are bows and crossbows on both sides of the strait." The only way to do this is to survive in death, turn around and kill a bloody road, and rush me! After saying that, he ordered his command ship to be the first to turn the bow and kill the opponent's warship, and the rest of the warships were inspired by his momentum, and immediately followed and fought together.

And Yu Ban and the others had already prepared, because they were in the upper hand, so they prepared a large number of rockets at the beginning, which was to cause greater chaos in Cheng Pu's troops!

"Whoosh!" At this time, the bed crossbows on both sides of the river finally began to wield, how wide can the Yangtze River be? In Sangluzhou, the widest part is less than three miles, and the narrowest point is only more than one mile, and the bed crossbows on both sides can completely cover the entire river surface, and there is an overlapping area of one hundred and ten steps in the middle, which instantly forms a blockade line on the entire river surface. The Jiangdong Navy rushed out in the rain of arrows, and hundreds of lives were wiped out with every step!

"Rush me!" Cheng Pu ignored the smoke and fire, and before his ship and an enemy ship were about to collide, he ordered someone to cut down the mast, and then dozens of sergeants worked together to carry the mast to push the enemy ship away, so as to prevent his ship from being erected.

I don't know how long it took, Cheng Pu only knew that he was going back vigorously, and the whole team almost didn't organize resistance, but chose to break through from the beginning! This choice is undoubtedly the right one. Under this kind of encirclement, the other side only needs to block the river, and then use bed crossbows and rockets to wipe out Cheng Pu's entire fleet in a few hours!

Therefore, with many years of experience, Cheng Pu led everyone to break through as soon as possible, in his opinion, even if he wants to fight, he must wait until he is too forbidden to occupy the upper hand before he can organize a counterattack! However, the rain of arrows arranged by the Jingzhou sailors was also full of weight, and in the end, only a few ships such as Cheng Pu broke through the fire blockade and killed this fatal river.

……

"Ahh Cheng Pu, who escaped, looked back and saw that there were only a dozen or so boats that followed him, and more than half of the soldiers on board were killed or wounded, so even if it was fully loaded, it would not exceed 4,000 people! Suddenly sadness came from it, and I couldn't help crying loudly. I brought a full 20,000 elite sailors! Twenty thousand, where is the hope of Koto! Chaisang's life-saving place! And so it was gone! Cheng Pu, who was standing at the bow of the boat, couldn't help but burst into tears! He knew that after this battle, Chaisang was finished! Maybe Koto is also finished!

"General, let's go, the Jingzhou army is chasing after you!" A pawn was sharp-eyed, and saw dozens of boats chasing after him, and hurriedly persuaded Cheng Pu.

"Let's go, let's go!" Cheng Pu also calmed down and hurriedly ordered, and the remaining ships hurriedly fled to the east. In this battle, there were 20,000 Jiangdong naval divisions, 80 large and small warships, and the last survivors were only thousands of soldiers with particularly good luck and 13 warships. Except for the last less than 4,000 captives, the rest of the people lost their lives in the Yangtze River where Sangluzhou and Hukou intersected!

At this moment, Yu Ban is actually very depressed, although he is responsible for cutting off Cheng Pu's back road. But the Jiangdong Sailor is extremely brave and unusually brave for his life, he is only 5,000 people, and once the two sides get close, and even the Jiangdong Sailor overtakes their ships, the rocket he prepared will not dare to use it, because it is against the wind, it is very likely to burn himself!

"Chase! Give me all the pursuit! Of course, Yu Ban didn't want to let go of the good opportunity to expand the results. The White River Jiangdong Naval Division once broke away from the crowded warships. The speed of the ship is much faster than that of these big ships! It's getting farther and farther away! Even Guan Yu and Jiang Qin behind him caught up!
