Sun Jian returned to the main seat and sat down, and said in a loud voice: "The current situation is very unfavorable for us, I hope you will work together and don't live up to the high hopes of Lonely!" ”

"The ministers will live up to the king's expectations!" Everyone hugged their fists together.

Sun Jian nodded.

Not long after the account was dispersed, a Wu army herald hurriedly came to Sun Jian, holding a letter in both hands to report to the report: "Wang, I have just received the flying pigeon transmission from General Huang, and the main force of Xiahou Xuan's department has been attracted to the direction of Qu'ah!" ”

Sun Jian's eyes lit up, he took the pseudo-biography in the herald's hand, and read it carefully, his hands trembled slightly because of excitement.

"Immediately send an order to General Huang, the original plan was to attack!" Sun Jian suppressed the excitement in his heart and ordered.

The herald answered and immediately withdrew.

Sun Jian looked up at the clear blue sky and muttered.

The sky is dark, the stars are inlaid in the sky like a diamond, a bright moon is in the middle of them, like standing out from the flock, the Chaohu Lake seems very quiet, only the reeds, the lake water in the breeze slightly sound, occasionally there are insects and birds chirping.

A huge fleet of clippers was slowly moving forward in the reeds.

In this silent night, hundreds of thousands of Wu troops suddenly attacked the Wei army's Chaohu Water Village, although there was no warning before this, but the layers of interdependent monitoring and police network arranged by Gan Ning played a key role.

At the first moment when the enemy launched an attack, Chaohu Dazhai made a timely response.

The battle was raging like tea, and the torches on both sides and the rockets that pierced the sky like a flood rain turned the whole world blood-red, and the sound of killing was like thunder. Occasionally, the warships of the Wu army slammed into the flail on the periphery of the Wei army's water village in flames, and soldiers from both sides continued to fall into the water. The soldiers of both sides who fell into the water still sacrificed their lives in the water.

At the same time as the Battle of Shuizhai was underway, an elite of the Huanggai Army landed on the shore and launched a strong attack on the Wei army's Luzhai. The Wu army's offensive was very resolute and brave, but it did not make the slightest progress at all, but suffered a lot of losses under the counterattack of the Luzhai Arrow Tower and other defensive facilities.

The sky gradually brightened, Huang Gai's land and water armies did not make decisive progress, the two armies fought fiercely in two places, the battle has become a stalemate, Huang Gai saw this scene, so he ordered a temporary retreat.

Gan Ning returned to the big tent with the water-dividing knife, grabbed the herald and asked, "Has the flying pigeon herald been issued?" ”

The herald hurriedly replied, "It has already been issued!" ”

Gan Ning let go of the herald. He scolded angrily: "Huang Gai, the old horseman, actually played a trick on Grandpa Gan!" It's really hateful! ”

At this time, Gan Ning's lieutenant general hurried into the big tent.

Gan Ning scolded angrily: "What are you doing in a panic? What the hell? ”

The adjutant general clasped his fists and said: "General, the losses of our army have been counted!" ”

"How?"

The adjutant general replied: "The navy and army have lost about 10,000 people, and the losses of the Wu army are slightly higher than our army!" ”

"Grandma's!"

Gan Ning couldn't help but curse and asked the deputy general: "How many troops does the Wu army have?" ”

The adjutant general replied with a guilty face: "It's not clear yet, but at least not less than 100,000!" ”

"Nonsense! Without an army of 100,000, would they dare to attack our land and water village? Gan Ning said angrily.

Gan Ning paced back and forth in the big tent, stopped, and said to Sun Jiang: "Immediately send a flying pigeon to General Xiahou." At the same time, additional scouts will be sent around, and all armies and villages will be strictly guarded, and they will never leave the village without my order, and those who violate the military law will be punished! ”

"No!" The lieutenant clenched his fists in promise. Hurried out of the tent.

Gan Ning sat down on the handsome seat, put the water-splitting knife aside, closed his eyes and said to the herald: "Don't bother me if there is nothing important!" ”

Gan Ning language. The snoring sound rang out, and the herald clenched his fist at Gan Ning. Quietly exited the big tent.

At noon, Gan Ning received a reply from Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked Gan Ning to defend the letter.

Gan Ning walked out of the big tent with the water-dividing broadsword, ready to inspect the defense of the periphery of the water village, when the scouts came to report, and Huang Gai's army gathered again.

Gan Ning hurriedly took his own soldiers to the lookout platform high on the shore, looking towards the gap in the lake, only to see thousands of Wu army warships like duckweed covering a large area of the river, at this time the warships that appeared here were not the kind of short and fast ships used by the Wu army during the sneak attack last night, but more than ten meters long building boats, Huang Gai obviously wanted to rely on the strong attack power of the building ships to break through the Wei army's water village head-on.

The Wei army water village is located in a water inlet where the building is the same, there are higher hills on both sides, there are fortresses and lookout posts on the hills to echo with the water and land villages, there is a shallow water bay below the high hill on the left, usually isolated from Chaohu Lake, but when Chaohu Lake is at high tide, the two are connected.

The point to be noted here is that the water village and the land village are actually one, the so-called water village is actually close to the lake shore where the boats are docked, and the land village is a joint venture on the shore.

"General, look over there." A lieutenant shouted as he pointed to the shore of the lake to the south.

Gan Ning looked in the direction of the captain's finger, and saw that at least 50,000 troops were gathering outside the camp, Gan Ning frowned and sneered: "Huang Gai Lao Pifu wants to attack my land and water village!" Pass my general order, the Fourth Army is all assembled to the south of the dry village! ”

"General, if the Fourth Army is all transferred to deal with the enemy army, what about the defense on the side of Shuizhai?" A lieutenant asked worriedly.

Gan Ning scolded impatiently: "Don't give me nonsense! Go to herald! ”

The lieutenant's heart sank, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and promised, and hurriedly retreated.

Gan Ning left the lookout, at this time the soldiers had already led Gan Ning's war horse over, Gan Ning stepped on the war horse and lifted the water dividing broadsword, and said to a herald beside him: "Tell Jiang Feng and the two generals that the defense of the water village will be handed over to them, if the general will come back and see the water village being breached, I will ask for the heads of the two of them!" With that, he rode his horse and ran south.

Gan Ning rode his horse to the Nanyuan Gate, at this time, nearly 40,000 elites of the Fourth Army had basically been assembled, Gan Ning stood on the war horse and looked outside, he couldn't help but be stunned, he saw a team of familiar and unfamiliar figures, wearing bright red robes, with bright tail feathers like blood coating on the helmet, wearing excellent armor, this is clearly the dress of the Han Dynasty Yulin Army, and today there is still this army, obviously only Liu Qijun inherited Liu Bei's immortal Xiaoqiang characteristics.

Gan Ning hesitated, Gan Ning knew the benefits of the cavalry deeply, although the cavalry in front of him was only three thousand people, but if they fought from the flank and rear when the two armies were deadlocked, the consequences would be unimaginable. (To be continued.) )
