At some point, the rain stopped.

The chaotic sky was quietly clarified.

Between the torn clouds, a few golden rays of sunset shone on the rain-baptized land.

The lake water returned to calm, but it was not clear, a layer of bright red blood, from south to north, covering the surface of the lake for more than ten miles.

At a glance, the entire Chaohu Lake hesitant blood pool was terrifying.

Floating corpses and fragments of battleships were everywhere, and in the deathly silence, a few miserable cries were occasionally heard.

The cracked "Lu" banner rolled and floated on the bloody water, and soon a huge ship passed by and crushed it to the bottom.

The banner of the word "Zhou", although it has been pierced with several arrow holes, is still fluttering in the wind at this moment.

Under the flag, Zhou Yu supported the ground with his sword, like a green pine, stubbornly rooted in the bow of the ship.

The sunshine reflected the pale face, and a smile finally appeared between the handsome faces.

Relieved, but laughed helplessly.

"Let go of me! Let me go! ”

In a roar of anger, covered in blood and with a broken arm, Lu Meng was dragged to Zhou Yu by Ling Tong.

Zhou Yu raised his hand slightly, signaling to let go of this defeated general. Ling Tong snorted before he let go of his iron pincer-like palm.

"Ziming, in this battle, can you lose convincingly?"

Although Zhou Yu regarded himself as the winner, his words were extremely bland, without the pride of the winner, as if this battle was just an innocuous chess game.

Holding his broken arm, he stood there swaying, Lu Meng, at this moment, his face was revealing a kind of pain.

That kind of pain, like an ordinary person, dreams of putting in ten times the effort to be able to surpass the so-called genius.

But in the end, he was desperate to find that a genius is a genius after all, and no matter how hard you put in ten or a hundred times the effort, you can never change the fact of failure.

That kind of pain is worse than death.

"Haha~~Haha~~"

Suddenly, Lu Meng looked up to the sky and laughed, and there was even a bit of mockery in the sad laughter.

Zhou Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "What's ridiculous?" ”

The laughter stopped suddenly, and his bloodshot eyes were full of irony, he stared at Zhou Yu and said coldly: "Look around, just because of your ambition, countless Dongwu soldiers have paid the price of their lives, and the originally powerful Dongwu has declined like this, is this the result you want?" ”

In this bloody battle on the water, the total number of casualties on both sides reached 30,000, and even Zhou Yujun, who was the victorious side, suffered heavy losses.

The elite of Soochow suffered heavy losses in this battle.

Zhou Yuhuan glanced at the corpses all over the lake, and his expression flashed a little unbearable.

Immediately, he sneered: "My ambition? Then I have to ask, what is your ambition Lu Meng? ”

This rhetorical question made Lu Meng look stunned, and he was speechless for a moment.

Facing the brilliant sunset, Zhou Yu smiled faintly: "I, Zhou Yu, would rather be like this sunset, which will pass away after the splendor, rather than live under the wings of people like Sun Quan all my life, this is my ambition, Lu Ziming, can you understand?" ”

Like a sunset, a short period of splendor...... At this moment, Lu Meng's heart suddenly had some kind of deep shock, and suddenly, he seemed to begin to understand.

And at this moment, when he looked up again to look at the handsome man, he suddenly found that he was still so far away from him.

"I see, hehe, Zhou Yu, you won."

After a long time, Lu Meng let out a long breath, and in that sigh, there seemed to be some kind of relief.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly and asked, "Ziming, since you have already surrendered, you are willing to be my right-hand man, and you and I will rebuild the glory of Soochow." ”

Lu Meng laughed and said angrily: "Zhou Lang, you are the dazzling sunset, and I, Lu Meng, am not a firefly in the night." Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, you can take my head. ”

Hearing this, Ling Tong and the others on the left and right originally had hatred for Lu Meng, and at this time, they couldn't help but be moved by his generosity to die.

Zhou Yu looked at the opponent with the broken arm in front of him again, and his eyebrows showed a bit of pity.

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Yu turned around, waved his hand slightly, and said, "Take him down and fulfill him." ”

"Thank you."

Lu Meng didn't need to be dragged by others, he covered his broken arm, staggered, and staggered off the deck.

After a few moments, there was only a crisp "click".

Zhou Yu let out a long breath.

Suddenly, he felt that the qi and blood in his chest were surging suddenly, and he couldn't hold back for a while, and when he opened his mouth, a puff of bloody arrows spurted out.

########## "How is the battle in Chaohu?" On the dock wall, Sun Quan asked expectantly.

The scout, however, looked gloomy and bowed his head silently.

Seeing the scout's expression, Sun Quan's heart chuckled, and a chill rose through his heart.

He took a step forward, grabbed the scout fiercely, and asked sharply, "Say, who wins and who loses?" ”

Left and right civil and military generals, everyone held their breath, as if time was frozen at this moment.

"We're defeated."

I don't know how long it took, but the scout silently told the result.

This bad news, like thunder, shattered everyone's hearts in an instant.

At this moment, Sun Quan only felt that the sky was spinning, and it was gray in front of him.

His heart was like being cut by a thousand sharp blades, and the pain was simply painful.

"Ah~~"

Sun Quan suddenly screamed, and then fell to the ground on his back.

#####赤壁, Yangtze River.

On the river, countless warships were burning, and from time to time, there were firefighting soldiers howling and jumping into the river.

One by one, the warships of the Jingzhou Legion ruthlessly ran over the Wu pawns who fell into the water, and the huge fleet quickly passed through this battlefield that once allowed the Wu people to create glory, and slaughtered towards the landing port.

At the critical moment, the surrender of Gan Ning changed the course of the entire Jiangxia Battle in one fell swoop.

At the beginning, Sun Yu defected in Ganning, and after the grain and grass were burned, he still forcibly fought with 10,000 sailors.

The generals of Jiangdong are all good at water warfare, although Sun Yu's water warfare ability is inferior to Gan Ning, but compared to the generals of the Jingzhou army, it is still a step higher.

It was precisely by virtue of this advantage that Sun Yu still insisted on leading 10,000 sailors to Chibi to meet the Jingzhou army.

It's just that what Sun Yu didn't expect was that Liu Feng would trust Gan Ning so much and appoint a general to be a pioneer.

When Sun Yu found out that the enemy he was facing was Gan Ning, he knew that he had lost.

As a famous general of Soochow, Gan Ning is very familiar with Soochow's style of water warfare.

Within half an hour, the battle ended with the defeat of the Wu army.

Wu's army was annihilated by as many as 3,000 enemies, and Gan Ning took the lead, rushed onto the enemy ship with his ship, and personally killed Wu's general Lu Dai.

Sun Yu was defeated, so he had to lead the remnants and flee in a hurry in the direction of the landing port.

After the victory of the first battle, the morale of the Jingzhou army was greatly boosted, and Liu Feng led the whole army to rush forward, chasing the Wu army and running to Lukou.

At dusk, generals such as Gan Ning, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Wen Ping led more than 40,000 Jingzhou troops to land on three sides of Lukou, forming a joint encirclement of the Wu army that fled to Lukou.

Lukou was originally just a town, and there were less than 1,000 Dingkou.

After the Battle of Chibi that year, Zhou Yu built a city in Lukou, and after many years of operation in Lusu, he established a fortress with Lukou City as the core and many water and land camps around it.

Sun Yu fled back to Lukou with less than 3,000 routs, but because he was outnumbered, he had to abandon the surrounding villages on land and water, and retreated his troops into Lukou City, trying to defend the city.

#####围城三曰, Lukou City is crumbling.

Because the strategic policy of the Wu people is to base the enemy in the north of the Yangtze River, in the eyes of the Wu people, the Yangtze River is the strongest copper wall.

Because of this reason, the Wu people have been frantically building a water army, and they don't pay so much attention to the construction of the city.

It is precisely because of this that the castle is not so strong.

In the past three days, Liu Feng launched a fierce attack on Lukou City with an army of 40,000 troops, ten times the enemy's strength.

In the afternoon of the fourth day, the south gate of Lukou was broken.

On the top of the city, Gan Ning took the lead and led three hundred dead soldiers to the top of the city, opening the passage for the follow-up soldiers and horses to enter the city.

More and more Jingzhou troops climbed to the top of the city with arrows desperately, and the demoralized Wu soldiers were cut down to the ground one by one.

With a loud bang, Gan Ning cut the suspension bridge with his own hands, and the bridge plate of Nuoda fell with a bang, and countless Jingzhou troops crossed the suspension bridge like a tide, and it only took a moment to break the city gate.

At this time, Sun Yu was still dying and struggling at the head of the city.

The guns in his hand were broken a few times, and countless enemies died at his feet. He had several arrows on his back, and blood was pouring like an infusion, but he didn't know it.

In the midst of the chaos, Sun Yu was like a wild dog that refused to admit defeat, rushing left and right, as if he wanted to redeem the defeat.

The loud bang of the drawbridge was like a hammer, shattering his last hope.

With the sound of howling and fighting in his ears, and his blood-soaked eyes, through the surging heads, Sun Yu found the topless rebel general.

"Ganning dog thief, take your life~~"

With a roar, Sun Yu danced like the wind, opened a bloody path, and slashed towards the enemy with gnashing teeth.

At this moment, Gan Ning also saw Sun Yu, a resentment gushed out like magma, and the big knife in his hand danced into an iron curtain, carrying the momentum of the enemy, and rolling towards the hateful old master.

Both of them were red-eyed, and there was only each other in their field of vision.

Those who stood in their way, friend or foe, were mercilessly slaughtered by them.

At the head of the city, two bloody roads were rapidly approaching, and at the moment of impact, the two of them shouted in unison with a thunderous roar.

Qiang~~ In the air, there was a violent metallic sound.

Then, as if time had stopped, the movements of the two people who had staggered by were frozen at the moment of the move.

After a few seconds, Gan Ning let out a long breath.

When he turned around, Sun Yu's head had already rolled to his feet.

That hideous face maintained a gritted hatred until death.

Gan Ning snorted coldly, and kicked the bloody head down the city like a ball.
