At this time, the building ship was already raging with thick smoke, most of the hull had been shrouded in fireworks, the three masts had been broken to two, and only one mast was still standing, but the fire quickly spread to the last sail, the tail cabin sank, the hull tilted to the left, the oarsman was blown up and burned to death, and the building ship basically lost power, half floating and half floating on the water. Seeing Gan Ning's battleship rushing straight over, Lu Su and Pang Tong were in a hurry, and Zhou Yu was also helpless.

At this moment of life and death, a clipper rushed through the spur, and the general on the boat shouted loudly: "Zhou Dudu, get on the boat quickly!" ”

Zhou Yu looked at it, but it was Zhou Tai, the captain of the right military academy, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned Lu Su and Pang Tong to jump on the boat, as for the hundreds of soldiers on the boat, Zhou Yu couldn't care about it anymore.

Zhou Tai knew that the situation was critical, and when Zhou Yu and the three of them sat down, he immediately ordered the oarsman to row. There were ten oarsmen on each side of the fast boat, all of them sturdy and able-bodied, and they rowed vigorously at the order, and the boat went all the way east.

Gan Ning saw that Zhou Yu was going to escape, and the clipper was extremely fast, and he couldn't catch up, so he ordered the gunner to bombard it, but the clipper was too narrow on the lake, and the main gun fired several shots in a row, but it failed to hit the boat.

Zhou Yu escaped with his life, and he also felt lucky, and asked Zhou Tai, it turned out that the right army of the navy led by Zhou Tai was also attacked by the Jing army's artillery intensively, Zhou Tai's ship was hit three times and sank in the lake, and at the critical moment, Zhou Tai could only jump on the boat to escape. As soon as he couldn't escape, Zhou Tai saw that Zhou Yu's flagship was being chased by Gan Ning, and it was about to sink, Zhou Tai rushed forward regardless of the danger, which saved Zhou Yu and them.

Zhou Yu's expression was gloomy, and he sighed: "I can't imagine that my Jiangdong Navy is crisscrossing the Yangtze River, and today it has suffered such a fiasco, what face do I have to see Wu Hou." ”

Lu Su comforted: "Don't blame yourself, this battle is not due to the improper command of the governor, but the ferocity of Liu's firearms." Our army simply cannot match it. ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The one that Jiangdong relies on." It is also a naval army, and now Liu Ze's ships are strong and sharp, the advantage of Jiangdong is gone, and the defense line of the Yangtze River is useless. Koto is in danger! ”

The clipper docked at Star Island. At this time, Jiang Qin also led the remnants of the defeated army to come by boat. Zhou Yu gathered the defeated soldiers, and six or seven of the ten stops had already been broken, and he was feeling sad. Suddenly, he reported that Zhang Fei had led his troops to attack Chaisang Pass. When Zhou Yu heard this, he was shocked, and said: "Chaisang is the Jiangxi fortress of our army, and Zhang Fei cut off my back road, what should I do?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Now that Chaisang has been lost, and most of the naval army has been lost, Peng Lize may not be able to hold it, and the governor might as well retreat to Danyang, where the mountains are high and the forests are dangerous, and the people are fierce, or they can block the attack of Liu's army by land." ”

Pang Tong only said that retreating to Danyang could block the land offensive of the Jing army, but from this east, there was still a feasible waterway to go eastward to Jianye, and Pang Tong's implication was that the waterway could no longer be guarded against. Zhou Yu thought about it, this was also a choice in desperation, so he led the remnants of the defeated army to Dongtou Danyang.

More than a month after the end of the Peng Lize Water War, that is, in February of the tenth year of Jian'an, Liu Ze personally led an army of 100,000 troops and Chen soldiers in Pukou to prepare to cross the Yangtze River.

It can be said that Liu Ze's operation was completely a blitzkrieg, from the mobilization of the army to the south to complete the entire deployment of the river crossing, it took less than ten days before and after, by Gan Ning's navy to open the way, Liu Ze gathered thousands of ferries in the north of the Jiangbei, not giving Sun Quan any respite at all, Yangwei and other five battleships were already approaching the south bank of the Yangtze River, in the roar of artillery, the river defense fortifications of Soochow were reduced to nothing in an instant. Zhao Yun led the First Army, Huang Zhong led the Eighth Army, and Zhang Fei led the Third Cavalry Division of the Third Army, which broke into the south bank like a sharp knife, and besieged Jianye City overnight.

After the Battle of Peng Lize, the news of the fiasco of Zhou Yu's army reached Jianye, and the entire Jiangdong was shaken and panicked. Jiangdong's biggest reliance is the navy, but in the first battle of Peng Lize, the Jiangdong navy was almost wiped out, that is, the water control of the entire Yangtze River, Jiangdong has been lost, and Jianye City, which is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, has also become dangerous.

After the news of Liu Ze's army pressing the border reached Jianye, Jianye City fell into a panic, and Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others immediately moved the capital to temporarily avoid the edge of the Jing army. However, Cheng Pu and others disagreed, believing that Jianye City had a strong city defense, and the entire river defense was complete, and even if the Jing army Chen soldiers were in Jiangbei, they would not be able to break through the river defense in a short time, and Jianye was the capital of Jiangdong, and once it was abandoned, it would definitely lead to instability in the army's heart.

Sun Quan also had no idea at all, so he asked Zhou Yu and others stationed in Danyang to be recalled overnight to discuss the plan. After Zhou Yu was ordered, he left Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to guard Danyang, and he rushed back to Jianye with Lu Su and Pang Tong in the starry night. When he saw Sun Quan, Sun Quan's face was full of anxiety, and he discussed the question of staying or going, while Zhou Yu leaned towards Cheng Pu's opinion, after all, Jianye still had 100,000 troops guarding the town, and if he fled in such a desperate manner, it would definitely be a heavy blow to the morale of the people in Jiangdong.

Liu Zeke did not give Sun Quan too much time to think, almost overnight, 100,000 troops completed the task of forcibly crossing the Yangtze River, compared to dawn, Zhao Yun's first army has arrived in the eastern suburbs of Jianye, Huang Zhong's eighth army has arrived at Shizigang in the west of Jianye City, and the third cavalry division led by Zhang Fei is stationed in Niutun on the bank of the Qinhuai River in the south of Jianye City, and the entire Jianye City has been completely surrounded by the Jing army.

Sun Quan, who heard the news, was completely dumbfounded, he couldn't believe that the Yangtze River defense line, which Cheng Pu described as impregnable, had been lost overnight, and the Jingjun Third Route Army had surrounded Jianye City, and Jianye was already in danger. Liu Ze came too quickly, and completely caught Sun Quan off guard.

Whether to desperately defend or risk death to break through are the two roads in front of Sun Quan, Sun Quan weighed left and right, but there was nothing to do, so he convened the ministers to discuss the countermeasures.

The civil and military ministers are talking about it, and there is no opinion, some want to stick to the city, some want to break out, each has its own reason, and the trouble is inextricable, but no one can come up with a more feasible plan, and Sun Quan's head is about to explode.

At this time, the next person in the hall said loudly: "There is a plan for the humble position, you can retire Liu Ze." (To be continued......)
