Chapter 455: Broadside Battle
"Liu Bei may not be able to do it, but someone will always help him."
Yang Ling laughed and looked at the flaming river in the distance.
While the soldiers and horses on both sides were on the Chibi River, killing each other inseparably, the lights in the Fankou military camp were bright.
Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others gathered in the camp, waiting for news from Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.
"Calculate the time, Governor Zuo and General Gongfu should have already met with Wei Yan, right?"
Sun Quan looked at Liu Bei.
"Yes, it won't be long before news comes in."
Liu Bei nodded.
The two were talking, but they saw Chen Zhi walking in quickly from outside the tent.
"I've seen the lord, Wu Hou, and the state pastor!"
He saluted the people one by one, and said solemnly,
"There's a military report ahead!"
"Oh? But did the Governor of Zuo have news from General Gongfu? ”
Sun Quan's spirits were lifted and he hurriedly asked.
"Back to Wu Hou, it's not the news that Zuo Du sent back."
Chen Zhi explained to Sun Quan,
"It's that we sent to supervise Xiakou's warship, and found that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's sailors left Xiakou at night and went straight to Jiangling!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts sank.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's sailors have never been opponents of the coalition.
On weekdays, he only dared to shrink in the Han River, and never entered the Yangtze River.
However, at the juncture when Wei Yan wanted to take refuge, he suddenly left Xiakou and headed towards Jiangling, which was obviously a change!
"You don't have to panic, it must be Yang Ling's side who discovered Wei Yan's defection, so he dispatched the sailors of the two to pursue him."
Huang Quan smiled disappreciatively and comforted,
"Governor Zuo and General Gongfu led tens of thousands of sailors, and Wei Yan's surrendered army, is it still possible to fight against Cai Mao and Zhang Yun?"
After thinking about it carefully, everyone felt that it was not unreasonable.
If Yang Ling found out that Wei Yan had defected, how could he be indifferent?
However, Zhuge Liang shook his head, and said with a solemn face,
"Impossible! Jiangling and Xiakou are hundreds of miles apart, and Yang Ling didn't have time to inform Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in Xiakou! ”
"Unless he knew in advance, Wei Yan would rebel!"
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned!
"What Mr. Kong Ming means...... Wei Yan's refuge tonight was deliberately designed by Yang Ling? ”
Zhou Yu was the first to react and asked.
"Yang Ling has always been cunning, if he instructed Wei Yan to pretend to take refuge, but in fact secretly set up an ambush, then Zuo Du Governor and General Gongfu would be in danger!"
The more Zhuge Liang thought about it, the more likely it became, and said to Liu Bei and Sun Quan with an anxious face,
"I also hope that the lord and Wu Hou will immediately send troops to meet the Zuodu Governor and them!"
Regardless of whether Wei Yan's surrender was a trap set by Yang Ling or not, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had already sent troops, so in order to avoid accidents, they should also send troops to respond!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei said to Sun Quan in a deep voice,
"Marquis Wu, why don't we send someone to pick up Governor Zuo and General Gongfu?"
"Good!"
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were both from Jiangdong, so Sun Quan naturally did not hesitate at all, and immediately nodded in agreement.
So Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Liu Qi, and Huang Quan sat in Fankou, and Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang led Zhang Fei, Jiang Qin, Han Dang, Ling Tong and other generals, as well as tens of thousands of sailors, hurriedly left Fankou and went straight to Chibi.
They didn't dare to delay all the way, and ordered the oarsmen to rock the oars desperately, and finally arrived at Chibi before dawn.
However, as far as the eye could see, it made Zhou Yu and others stunned.
I saw that above the Yangtze River, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the wreckage of the ignited ship was floating on the water.
The fleets of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were attacked by Cao Jun on both sides, and the situation was quite unfavorable!
"Governor Zhou, let's hurry up and support them!"
Zhuge Liang proposed.
Zhou Yu came back to his senses and immediately ordered his soldiers to attack Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's subordinates.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's sailors, their combat effectiveness naturally cannot compete with the coalition forces.
Just a little resistance, it was scattered by the ships led by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai!
Jiang Qin took the opportunity to order the soldiers to shake the oars and rush to the vicinity of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's ships!
"Hugh is going to shoot the arrows! I am Jiang Gongyi! ”
Hearing Jiang Qin's self-registration, the soldiers on the ship hurriedly stopped and called Cheng Pu and Huang Gai over!
Seeing Jiang Qin's arrival, Cheng Huang and the others were surprised and delighted!
"Gongyi, why are you here!"
"The lord and Uncle Liu Huang know that you are in the scheme, and specially ordered the right governor to lead us to come to help!"
Jiang Qin said in a loud voice,
"The encirclement of the Cao army has been broken, you leave with me!"
"Okay!"
Cheng Pu didn't hesitate at all, and immediately asked the soldiers to shake the oars and follow Jiang Qin's boat to flee out!
This scene was naturally taken into the eyes of Gan Ning, who had been staring at the main general's ship!
"The enemy is fleeing! Meng Qi, Zhongye, kill the enemy with me! ”
Gan Ning gave an order, drove the ship he was riding, and quickly chased after Huang Gai and Cheng Pu who had escaped!
I saw the warship nimbly shuttling among the warships, and soon came to the vicinity of the ship!
"Shoot the arrows!"
Huang Gai pointed to Gan Ning's liner and roared loudly.
"Whoosh!"
Countless arrows rained down from the ship!
Gan Ning, Ma Chao, and Wen Ping hurriedly raised their shields and blocked the arrows!
"General Xingba, this ship is too high to board!"
Wen Ping shouted!
Huang Gai and Cheng Pu's ship, although far less than Sun Quan's Feiyun, is also an extremely majestic ship in the world.
With Gan Ning's ship, it was too reluctant to board the ship and start a broadside battle!
Gan Ning's eyes rolled, but he saw the warship where Jiang Qin was in front of him, and immediately had an idea!
"Go ram the ship ahead!"
"Whoa!"
The soldiers shook the oars desperately and hit Jiang Qin hard!
Jiang Qin's warship is not as good as Cheng Huang's, it is just an ordinary ship!
"Bang!"
The warships of the two sides collided together, and before Jiang Qin could react to what had happened, he heard an angry roar,
"I'm Gan Xingba, if you don't want to die, get out!"
He turned his head to look, only to see Gan Ning jumping on the ship, and the thick iron chain in his hand waved away!
An unknown Jiangdong soldier still wanted to go up and resist.
But I saw the iron chain whistling and flying and slamming on the top of his head, even if his brain burst!
Gan Ning didn't hesitate at all, like killing a god, and rushed to the other soldiers!
Ma Chao and Wen Ping led the Cao soldiers, followed closely behind him, and wantonly rushed to kill on the ship!
Seeing that his soldiers were killed and the army was defeated, Jiang Qin couldn't sit still.
He picked up a steel knife and blocked Gan Ning's way.
"The thief is rampant, let me Jiang Gongyi come to meet you!"
"You are Jiang Gongyi?"
Gan Ning squinted at him and smiled disdainfully,
"That's all."
"Hugh has the advantage of his tongue!"
Jiang Qin didn't talk nonsense with Gan Ning, and attacked with a knife!
The terrain is narrow, and there is no room to dodge.
However, Gan Ning didn't seem to have the idea of dodging, and the chain in his hand was violently pulled apart and raised, and he grabbed Jiang Qin's long knife.
