Another two days had passed, and Lu Meng still hadn't come up with a better way, and at this moment, in front of Haixi Port, he had already delayed for ten days.

After such a long time, Lu Meng still didn't come up with a better way, but Huang Gai finally couldn't help but say: "General Lu, no matter what, we can't wait any longer, according to the plan, after Xu Sheng and Ding Feng occupy Xiapi, they will send people to Guangling, our two sides are going to converge, if this continues, who will they go to converge?" In my opinion, if it doesn't work, it's good to land strongly. ”

"General Huang, what if the other party has an ambush if it lands strongly?" Lu Meng told what he had been worried about.

"What about the ambush, we have more soldiers than the other side, even if we encounter an ambush, it is not certain who wins and who loses, it is better than staying here." Huang Gai did have some anger at this meeting. Lü Meng was right to be cautious in sending troops, but if he was too cautious, he would only lose his fighters.

As if he was afraid that Lu Meng would not agree, Huang Gai then patted his chest and said: "General Lu rest assured, I will personally lead 100,000 soldiers to get off the ship and land, even if I encounter an ambush from the enemy, I am not afraid." ”

Huang Gai wants to attack in person, Lu Meng is not sure what to say, after all, in terms of seniority, others are too much stronger than himself. "Okay, even if General Huang wants to do this, then pull out your 100,000 sailors, but I also ask General Huang to be cautious, once you find that the situation is wrong, you will retreat, so that there will be no loss."

"Okay, please rest assured General Lu." Huang Gai nodded heavily, and then strode out and began to move.

Ten days after coming to Haixi Port, the Dongwu Navy finally made a move, and began to have some sea ships approaching the shore, and then successively came down with 100,000 troops, these people led by General Huang Gai, as soon as they appeared on land, they began to assemble quickly, and then divided into echelons to go towards Haixi City.

The 100,000 army went ashore and marched forward in an orderly manner, and after walking for two hours, there was still no shadow of an enemy soldier, which made Huang Gai, who was originally cautious, finally put his mind at ease, "Hmph! It's just a suspicious tactic, see if I break you. Someone came, ordered the army, accelerated its advance, and quickly occupied the city of Hercyni. ”

The outline of Haixi City could already be seen from afar, and at this moment, Huang Gai was also determined, and began to accelerate the speed of the army's march.

When the 100,000 sailors got the order, they strode forward one by one, and they had been suffocating in the ship for a long time these days, and now they have the opportunity to attack the city and pull out the ground, and everyone wants to make meritorious contributions.

Seeing that Haixi City was getting closer and closer, but there was still no sign of the other party, the main general Huang Gai couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that the Celestial Empire Navy has already fled, hahaha, it's no wonder that we have been careful." ”

At this moment, Huang Gai had already decided that the Celestial Empire Navy had already fled, because he could clearly see Haixi City, and even this city was still with its gates wide open, obviously there was no defense force at all.

Huang Gai was laughing to himself, and his soldiers were also rushing forward, and even the front army was only two miles away from the open gate of Haixi City, and suddenly there were bursts of shouts and killings, and then a large number of black-armored soldiers appeared on the front, left, and right.

As soon as these black-armored soldiers with the banner of the Celestial Empire appeared, bursts of bows and arrows were shot first, and without defense, the 100,000 naval troops of Eastern Wu were taken by surprise, with countless casualties.

"Not good, there is an ambush, withdraw, withdraw!" In his eyes, there were all soldiers of the Celestial Empire, and his number was afraid that there were 200,000 people, thinking that no matter what strength he talked about, he was inferior to the other party, and what Huang Gai could do at this moment was to lead people to retreat.

Huang Gai's reaction was still very fast, and he didn't even make contact with the Celestial Empire army, so he began to order a retreat, which made some losses less, just because the distance between the other party was still too close, and there were still soldiers being killed.

Just when a big battle broke out in front of Haixi City, the Lü Meng naval army, which was docked six or seven miles outside Haixi Port, was also suddenly attacked. Countless warships were coming towards them in all directions, and on the bow of one ship, standing was Gan Ning, the commander of the navy.

Gan Ning will appear here, and it is Jia Xu who arranged for someone to invite him. It is said that after learning that the Dongwu Navy was coming to invade Haixi Port, Jia Xu ordered someone to sail the warship away ninety percent and go to the chest county of the East China Sea to pick up the commander of the Ganning Army and the 300,000 sailors under him.

At the same time, Jia Xu also asked General Jia Ni to guard the shore with elite soldiers, and set up a suspicious plan, in order to force the Eastern Wu Navy to not dare to force the landing, just like the disappearance of the thirty scouts was done by General Jia.

It's just that what Jia Xu didn't expect was that Lu Meng waited at sea for nearly ten days because of caution, so all his plans came true, and after learning that Huang Gai led 100,000 troops to land forcibly, he decisively ordered to retreat with mud, until the other party came to Haixi City, then he suddenly started to crush with more than 200,000 troops more than twice as many as the other party.

At the same time, the warship that went out also received the commander of the Ganning Army, and then 300,000 sailors boarded the warship and moved towards the Lü Meng army parked outside Haixi Port.

When the two sides moved together, the Soochow naval army was naturally unable to resist, showing the meaning of chaos.

Gan Ning stood on the bow of the boat, staring at a pair of tiger eyes, looking at the Dongwu Navy that was getting closer and closer, and he was furious at the moment.

Because Sun Shangxiang is the wife of Emperor Zhang Chao, the Celestial Empire and Dongwu have always been good friends, and even the Celestial Empire has never thought of embarrassing Dongwu, but who knows, this time they actually want to carry out a sneak attack on their own waterway army, if it weren't for the military advisor Jia Xu's strategy, this time I am afraid that the loss will be determined.

Gan Ning is the commander of the Waterway Legion, and he knows that Zhang Chao attaches great importance to them, and often has to prepare them first if they have any good things, that is, they are like treasures. And this time it was almost attacked, it is conceivable that once attacked, the losses will be huge, not to mention that these thousand warships are likely to be taken away because of this, even the well-trained 200,000 sailors are afraid that they will also face the danger of destruction.

This is clearly Dongwu asking for his old life, thinking of this, where will Gan Ning have a good face to see, staring at the Dongwu Navy that is getting closer and closer, and now he can't wait to swallow it in one bite.

Gan Ning is murderous.

Of course, if it is usual, Gan Ning just wants to deal with the Dongwu Navy, and he also has to ask the emperor Zhang Chao, after all, this is the family of the sixth lady Hua Guifei, what is the matter, he is not easy to explain. It's just that now he really doesn't have to worry so much, even if the other party makes the first move, of course he doesn't need to be polite.

"Come on, order the warship to speed up, and the archers are ready, the clipper outflanks the opponent's back, this time let them have no return." The angry Gan Ning was holding the Xingyue Knife, with a murderous face.

The commander of the corps ordered, 300,000 sailors, nearly 1,000 warships moved, and the naked eye could see that many clippers were put down on the large warships, about five or six hundred, and after they were launched, they carried the soldiers towards the back road of the Dongwu navy.

The sudden appearance of the Celestial Empire's waterway army made Lu Meng immediately feel a sense of crisis, if it weren't for the fact that General Huang Gai hadn't rushed back yet, he was afraid that he would have to turn the bow of the ship at this moment.

"Order the ship, adjust the direction, and prepare for close combat with the opposing ship at will." Lu Bu couldn't retreat, in desperation, he had to prepare for a hard fight first, in his opinion, as long as he could hold up for a few hours, he believed that the matter here would reach General Huang Gai on land, and then it would be possible to wait for them to get back on the boat and leave at speed.

Lü Meng had his own thoughts, saying that he was also confident in the Eastern Wu Naval Army, and had refused to defend the Yangtze River Valley for many years, making the Naval Army the most important combat component of the Eastern Wu forces, and he did not believe that the well-trained Eastern Wu Naval Army would not be the opponent of the Celestial Empire army.

Your Celestial Empire is powerful, and it is just a tiger on land, but when it comes to naval power, it is not as good as their naval strength. Just like at the beginning, in the face of the attack of the Wei State, didn't they rely on the powerful sea power to defend it? Facts have also proved that the other party did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and had no choice but to withdraw. I believe that this will be the case this time.

Lu Meng had his own self-confidence, but he really didn't know Zhang Chao's requirements for the Celestial Empire's army. For the Army, they do demand that they be fierce and powerful like tigers; For the navy, his requirements are also not low, and they need to be like dragons, able to make waves in the sea and mountains, and invincible.

In order to meet this requirement, the entire Celestial Empire has spent a lot of energy on the waterway legion, not only their warships have been updated several times, but also the quality of the personnel is also a top one, and the food, clothing, and housing are fully supplied.

With the confidence of both sides, the warships of the two armies were getting closer and closer, until the faces of the two sides could be faintly seen, and the bows and arrows came in unison, and the whole sea was only seen with the sound of bows and arrows firing.

Under the sudden attack of bows and arrows, people on both sides died under the long-range arrows, it seemed that there was no one who took much advantage.

But only Lu Meng himself knows that he has actually suffered a loss in this first contact, and the reason for this is entirely because the people he sent to fight the first battle were the most elite naval forces in Eastern Wu, and even many of them were good in the water and veterans of the battlefield.
