On the surface of the big river leading to Wuhu, big boats are connected to the sky, small boats are interspersed among them, drums are beating, and the sound of shouting and killing resounds on both sides.

The ships of the two armies or opened their bows and crossbows to shoot each other, and the feathers and arrows flew one after another.

Or operate the boat to collide at an angle, waiting for the opportunity to connect the strings and jump to the gang.

Wu Jun has even more watery "water ghosts", a fierce man plunged into the river and disappeared, but he secretly used a chisel to dig the bottom of the Cao army's ship, causing it to sink and capsize.

From time to time, those who were hit by arrows sank to the bottom of the water, or dead bodies surfaced, and the offensive of the Cao army in this battle was much more fierce than the confrontation and temptation of the previous days.

The battle was raging on the river in the west, but on the river that went east, the light boats carrying 10,000 Qingxu soldiers and Zang Ba and Yin Lu were smooth all the way, and they had not yet received the enemy when they reached Jingkou.

It is not so much the negligence of the Wu army as the helplessness caused by the overstretched troops.

is as strong as Cao Wei, and on the long border line, he can only rely on the key locations of the city to focus on defense, not to mention the Eastern Wu who has just been greatly injured.

Zang Ba, who is nearly sixty years old and a few years younger than Liu Bei, is standing on the bow of the ship with a helmet and armor, a burqa belt, and a skirt tied at this time.

In the face of the impending death-defying raid, Zang Ba did not have much fear in his heart, only a trace of discouragement and exhaustion.

Although he has a single name for the word "hegemon", he has no ambition to dominate the world.

has been wandering between multiple forces from beginning to end, and he just wants to be a soil overlord in the land of Qingxu.

But the reality has made him see clearly the naivety of his original thinking, and in the world of great contention, he will either step on the bones and climb to the top of the top.

Either surrender or die.

There is no other way to go.

After going around and around for most of his life, now that the soil has been buried to his neck, he still has to face a choice.

And this time there is one less choice, only surrender, or death......

In the distance, I have seen several Jiangdong boats cruising outside the Jingkou.

"Hiss-huh" Zang Ba closed his eyes and exhaled a deep breath ......of turbidity, but he couldn't spit out the feeling of being dominated by fate.

Choke!

His eyes widened suddenly, and he drew his sword forward: "Attack——! ”

Tom, tom, tom......, tom

The drums of war suddenly sounded, and they became more and more excited, and five hundred light boats carried these Qingxu soldiers who were forced to become death squads, and pounced on them without hesitation.

caught up with and engulfed those Jiangdong boats, and killed Jingkou.

There were only a small number of Jiangdong defenders in Jingkou, and although this place was a hub for transporting grain to Jianye, it was not a city with stable city defense, but a town developed along the river wharf.

The Jingkou garrison, who was suddenly attacked, did not receive any warning before, and the Cao army had never fought here in previous wars, so they immediately panicked.

Zang Ba led the army to land in Jiangbei before and stormed the Jiangbei city defense, unlike the panicked defenders of Eastern Wu, the Qingxu soldiers came with a decisive heart under the mobilization of Zang Ba and others this time.

Qingzhou soldiers and Xuzhou soldiers, although military discipline is worrying, they are undoubtedly one of Cao Wei's sharpest minions.

These Cao troops, who were inspired to be ferocious, launched a fierce attack on the city defense of Jiangbei, but in a moment or three, the defenders of Dongwu in Jiangbei were frightened and the city gate was broken!

Cao's army, which invaded the city, was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, killing and plundering thousands of people in a short time, and the corpses were strewn across the streets, and the rain washed away the blood on the ground.

Seeing the defeat of the Jiangbei defenders, Zang Ba and others did not delay for a long time, let alone stop.

He knew in his heart that this level of victory was not enough, and now was not the time to accept it.

They must move forward, and go forward, until they come up with a reason why Cao Pi can't blame him, and they can't kill anymore!

As for whether they can return alive after that, it depends on creation......

Zang Ba gathered his army and boarded the ship again, decisively crossed the river and ran to the south bank!

Within a day, Jingkou was broken.

The news of Cao's army's breakthrough of Jingkou was quickly delivered to Sun Quan and Lü Fan by water.

Even Sun Quan, who was closer, received the news a little earlier than Lu Fan.

The war was stalemate, and Sun Quan didn't know how Lao Liu's side was fighting for a while, and whether he could give Cao Pi enough pressure to force him to withdraw from the army.

Suddenly heard that Jingkou was attacked and defeated, he was shocked at first, and thought that Cao Wei had found a breakthrough, and after defeating the defenders, he was going south.

After asking and understanding that it was only about 10,000 death squads, I was a little relieved, but then a wave of anger surged into my heart.

Rubbish! Eater! What are they for?

Guarding the Yangtze River moat, he can still be attacked by the waterway, cutting off a grain road on the eastern front!

However, after all, Sun Quan had seen a big scene, and although he was angry in his heart, he knew that now was not the time to hold him accountable.

"Dispatch Xu Sheng and He Qi to support quickly, encircle the north and south, and the few people want to annihilate this enemy army! Ordered Lu Fan and the others to continue to drag Cao Xiu's main force at the entrance of the cave, and must not let it reinforce it!

"Order the Wujun Zhenze (Taihu) Navy to be ready to support at any time, and the reserve soldiers of Danyang and Huiji are ready to be deployed to support the front line!"

"Yes, my lord."

As long as Cao Xiu's main force can't cross south in a big way, then this death squad will only end up being a dish to be sent to the mouth.

That being said...... Sun Quan, who was taken first in the city, still felt that his face was gloomy, and if he couldn't make a beautiful counterattack, it would inevitably hit the morale of the army.

"You're working harder! What was your son's strength when he beat me in Jingzhou?! Take it out!" Sun Quan couldn't help but roar in his heart.

Since Chibi, there has never been a moment when he hopes that Liu Bei's side can fight a good battle like now......

……

He Qibu set off late, had been stationed in Xinshi before, and immediately led his troops to intercept after receiving the battle report.

The defense system of the Wet Whisker Dock was perfect, and Cao Zhen had no good way for a while, so Xu Sheng led his headquarters to the east to support according to the order.

Lu Fan and the others felt deeply guilty for their strategic miscalculation, and desperately dragged Cao Xiu so that he could not reinforce Zang Ba.

For Soochow's counterattack, Cao Xiu had already prepared for it, and he did not seem impatient to deal with it calmly.

As for Zang Ba, who is alone...... He had already arranged for the soldiers and horses to respond.

But whether they can come back alive depends on the will of heaven, and he Cao Xiuren is righteous, even if the whole army is annihilated...... He is no wonder.

Jiangdong has an abundant water system, and the deployment of troops and support is much faster than taking the land route.

Zang Ba and others attacked and plundered all the way, although the momentum was amazing, but after all, the scale of the army was too small, and they did not dare to gnaw any hard bones, in fact, they did not cause any injuries that hurt the muscles and bones.

Just before the Taihu Lake naval army was ready to go north to support, He Qi finally led the army to block in front of Zang Ba.

In the past, there was Gan Ning, a thief of Jinfan, Pan Zhang, who liked wine and beauty the most, and Lu Fan, who had a luxurious style, and now He Qi is not far behind.

Not only the carved and colorful decorations of the warship, but also the blue canopy, the crimson drapery, the mast, the oars and the weapons are depicted with the patterns of flowers and fruits, and even the armor and equipment of him and his own soldiers are very gorgeous and exquisite.

In the land of Jiangdong, there seems to be no shortage of such "local tyrants" as characters, and their extravagance can be seen.

Zang Ba didn't want to die in Jiangdong seriously, and seeing that he had successfully mobilized the reinforcements of the Wu army and the goal had been achieved, he immediately turned around and slipped away without hesitation.

The momentum of the previous fierce battle to the death is completely gone.

The decisiveness of the fleeing back made He Qi, who rushed over, jump to his feet and scold, and led his troops to chase after him......

Seeing that Zang Ba was about to escape back to Jiangbei with a near-perfect record, he was still a step too slow, and was finally blocked by Xu Sheng, who crossed to the east, again.

"Alas...... I'm going to die this day! ”

Zang Ba looked at the boat master who was intercepting in front of him, sighed secretly, and had no choice but to lead the army to fight to the death.

Under the attack, not only did more than half of the Qingxu soldiers be killed and wounded, but Yin Lu, who followed all the way, finally hated.

"Humph! Those who invade my territory of Great Wu will be attacked and ......"

"Report ——! General, there is another boat division in Jiangbei, it seems that it is Cao's army reinforcements! ”

"Sheng will break it...... What? Before Xu Sheng finished his words to relieve his hatred, he was interrupted by an unexpected situation.

Looking at the north of the river, on the approaching warship, a big flag with the word "Zhang" can be faintly seen......
