Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 851

The number of torches at night can clearly see the size of the team, which is also the confidence for Xu Sheng to launch an attack brazenly.

When fighting together, the sword has no eyes.

Whether Sun Lin or Zhang Cheng died because of this, Xu Sheng had enough reasons to shirk it. At that time, he became a hero after defeating the rebels, and he was the veritable general of Chai Sang.

If Zhang Cheng survived by chance, he might not have the face to stay any longer. How could the main general be captured as soon as he went out?On the other hand, how sharp-eyed are you?It is his loss that King Wu does not reuse it.

Xu Sheng thought a lot at that moment. He even dreamed of succeeding Lu Xun and becoming the governor of Soochow, thinking how majestic and heroic that would be?However, reality gave him a slap in the face.

The chaisang defenders seemed to be kicked on an iron plate, and fell in front of the enemy's formation after several charges. The trapped army was like a steel meat grinder, not only wiped out the Wu army who rushed forward, but also started to counterattack with neat steps .

In the dark night, the flag was invisible, and the sound of fighting broke the silent wilderness. The soldiers in the formation carried out their orders through special long and short whistles, and pressed back neatly like an iron pagoda. The poor vision at night did not make the fighting army chaotic at all. .

"how is this possible?"

Xu Sheng was still immersed in a sweet dream just now, but only a moment later, the front army began to retreat, and he quickly restrained the troops to resist the fallen army.

After fighting for about half an hour in front of the city, Xu Sheng's side was getting more and more defeated. Seeing that the situation was not right, he made a decisive decision and took the lead in shouting to retreat into the city. Bar?

"Major General, do you want the reconnaissance battalion to chase in? Maybe we can control the city gate." Seeing Xu Sheng retreating, Chu Qing quickly clasped his fists to Lan Yuan to relax.

Lan Yuan shook his head lightly: "Forget it, let them go, as long as you block them from rescuing the water fortress, the reconnaissance battalion is the elite of our army, don't compromise for the sake of siege, don't forget that our important task is not in the firewood camp. Sang, hurry up and take advantage of Xu Sheng's retreat, gather the army to count the battle damage, set up a camp to rest, and send a medical battalion to treat the wounded soldiers, anyway, General Gan's warship has arrived, we just wait outside the city."

"Wei." Chu Qing cupped his fists and left.

Taking advantage of the rest, Lan Yuan had someone bring Zhang Cheng and Neighbor Sun to him again, and asked meaningfully, "General Sun, did you see clearly? We didn't use any tricks just now, did we? Do you still think the Sun family can keep Jiangdong?"

"General Xu must be scruples, otherwise, how could Chaisang's elite soldiers be defeated? You will only use tricks and tricks." Neighbor Sun was still not convinced.

"Hahaha, don't you hear that soldiers are tricky?" Lan Yuan's words directly made Sun Lin speechless.

Zhang Cheng already knew the whole story at this time. He just saw Xu Sheng being killed and retreated, and his mood has dropped to freezing point. He doesn't know what will happen in Jiangdong's future, but Lu Fan's tens of thousands of troops in Pingxiang will soon starve because of lack of food. , thinking that the black owl really lived up to its reputation, using itself and the city of Guangzhou as bait to attract all Jiangdong soldiers and horses,

Everyone knew that Gan Ning had to be guarded against, but no one thought that the entrapment army would appear in Luling. Chaisang's current encounter was not due to the incompetence of Sun Lin and Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng was much calmer than the young and vigorous neighbor Sun. He knew that as a prisoner, he was not qualified to argue with the victor, so he stared at the fire in the east in a daze.

"What is General Zhang thinking?" Lan Yuan asked meaningfully.

"I don't understand why the water village is on fire. Half of Chaisang's garrison lives in the water village. It is impossible for your secret work to get in and set fire to it." Zhang Cheng frowned.

Lan Yuan smiled and said: "It's okay to tell you the truth. In the past, Lv Meng led his warships upstream from Yushui to attack Bushan County, which was then the governor of Jiaozhou Lai. In the end, they were attacked by fire boats at the upstream bend. Soochow In the end, the warship was at risk in the chaos, and it was also this season."

"Could it be a water village built with fire boats?" Zhang Cheng looked at Lan Yuan in surprise, and immediately asked incredulously, "But where did these boats come from?"

"General Zhang is really smart. There are hundreds of warships parked at the Xingan Wharf, all of which you have prepared yourself. We will be disrespectful when we pass by." Lan Yuan raised his lips slightly, thinking that all this is really a coincidence, and Jiangdong should be destroyed.

"It turned out that Zi Qiao (Sun Song), Xiu Mu (Zhu Huan) and the others brought the warships. I knew that they should leave the ships in Chaisang." Zhang Cheng was heartbroken, and then continued to ask: "The thing that ignited the fire is also."

Lan Yuan smiled slightly and did not speak. The dejected Sun Neighbor next to him said with a wry smile, "I brought them from Nanchang. I didn't know what they were going to do at the beginning."

After Zhang Cheng heard this, his face was full of bitterness. The feeling of being defeated by his own "weapon" was so uncomfortable. He suddenly thought that it was the rebel general Ding Feng who commanded the warship. Zhang's subordinates joined the army. If the strategies, soldiers, warships, and firelights all came from Jiangdong, he didn't know how Sun Quan would feel if he was trapped in a cocoon.

"This plan of attacking with fire will not be Ding Feng." Zhang Cheng hesitated to speak.

"This fire boat plan was used by my father for the first time. This time, Sima's old plan under my account is repeated. However, Peng Lize's situation is different. Because the lake is wide and the current is not too fast, the driving force of Ganshui cannot make the fire boat go accurately. Entering the water stronghold depends entirely on the sailors under General Ding's tent to steer the boat."

Although Ding Feng did not come up with the fire boat plan, the other side also helped a lot in this battle. Lan Yuan said it at this time, and it would also make Zhang Cheng and Sun Lin 'happy'.

Zhang Cheng saw that Sun Lin bowed his head and remained silent, and he himself felt his face was very hot, so he stood silently by the side and waited.

Chu Qing counted the previous battle damage, and finally counted more than [-] wounded soldiers, and none of the soldiers were killed. After hearing this, Lan Yuan nodded with satisfaction, lamenting that the newly enlisted soldiers have been trained.

During the encampment of the fallen army, the fires in Pengli Water Village gradually went out, and the scouts came back to report first, but they were wiped out because of the stubborn resistance of the Wu Army in the water village.

Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiu were all killed in battle. Coincidentally, Jiang Qin was killed by Gan Ning in Hanshui, and his two sons were also killed by Gan Ning. Like Ling Cao and Ling Tong, they were the last of the family. round circle'.

Not long after the battle in the Water Village, Gan Ning, Li Yi, and Ding Feng came to see Lan Yuan first, leaving Su Fei to deal with the aftermath in Pengli Water Village.

Before the war, Lantian was worried that Chaisang was an important town, so he transferred Li Yijiaozhou navy to reinforce, and also transferred Sufei Jiangxia garrison to Wuchang, allowing Gan Ning to command [-] troops to guard against Lu Xun.

Gan Ning and Lan Yuan hadn't seen each other for several years. When they saw this young man again, he couldn't help holding his hand and praising him: "We haven't seen each other for many years. Bo Yang has become a pillar of the sky. We are getting old slowly." .”

Lan Yuan smiled and replied: "Uncle Gan just beheaded two generals. I don't believe you when you say that you are old."

"Hahaha, Jiang Qin's two sons are not skilled in martial arts. It's hard to get back the feeling of Baiqi robbing the camp back then. But I can maintain my current posture because my husband let me learn Wuqinxi. I haven't been tortured by illness for so many years." Gan Ning stroked his beard and sighed.

"Because my nephew still has an important task, I left Chaisang City behind. There should be less than [-] defenders, so I will trouble Uncle Gan to deal with it. We will march to Yixing tomorrow morning." Lan Yuan said seriously.

Gan Ning nodded, "Mr. is under a lot of pressure in Pingxiang. It is right for Boyang to rush to support earlier. Xu Sheng's child is left to me to handle it. I just haven't had a good fight tonight. I haven't had such a rich battle in so many years."
