Soldiers come to the world

Liu Hu happily left. Liu Jing was just about to go to the barracks when a loud horn sounded from a distance, 'Woo——'

The sound of the horn resounded across the river, and the soldiers stood by the wall and looked into the distance. They saw a fleet of hundreds of large ships coming towards the Cao River, with their sails soaring, overwhelming the sky.

This is the return of the fleet of food and supplies, which caused cheers from the people in the surrounding boats. Liu Jing suddenly thought of his kerosene, and walked quickly down the city.

On the last dozen or so large ships, special supplies were transported. The ships were loaded with large round jars. The edges of the jars were stained with a lot of black viscous liquid, most of which had been dried by the river wind and turned into a A layer of black dry shell, gently pinched into powder.

This is the ship dedicated to transporting fire oil for Liu Jing. Of course, it is unrefined crude oil. Even so, the oil can be burned for military use.

"Sima, I promise I didn't steal a pot!" On the big boat, Liao Hua shouted loudly to Liu Jing who was standing on the shore.

Liu Jing laughed, he found that Liao Hua also had a humorous side in his bones, and when the big boat approached the shore, Liu Jing jumped onto the big boat.

Liao Hua came up to greet him, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Meet Sima!"

Liu Jing helped Liao Hua up and praised him for his ability to suppress the bandits. In fact, the three bandits in Yangxin County surrendered when Liao Hua came out. A crisis of bandits trapping Yangxin County.

This time the Jiangdong Army's second attack on Chaisang, Liu Jing transferred Liao Hua back again. Liao Hua's ability to defend the city was really good. The last defense against the Jiangdong Army left a deep impression on Liu Jing.

However, Liao Hua also has a weakness, that is, better wine, which is a habit he developed when he was the Zuo King of Jiangxia.

Liu Jing stepped forward and lifted the fire cloth. Under the fire cloth was a jar of neatly stacked crude oil. These jars were originally jars for wine and pickles, and every household had them. Tens of thousands of such large jars were collected soon.

Liao Hua patted the jar and sighed, "It's a pity it's not wine. It would be great if a dozen ships were filled with wine!"

"Alcohol can't help us defeat the Jiangdong army. These black guys are much stronger than alcohol. You will know when the battle is fierce."

Liao Hua chuckled, "If it can help us defeat the Jiangdong Army, I won't drink alcohol in the future, I will drink it exclusively!"

"Once a man speaks a word, it's hard to chase after him!" Liu Jing smiled and looked at Liao Hua.

Liao Hua scratched his head, he was just joking, how could he drink this stuff, "Sima, it's okay not to drink, but you can avoid it if you drink this stuff."

"Brothers, please listen to me!" Liu Jing shouted loudly.

Soldiers from dozens of nearby ships came to the side of the ship and stared at Liu Jing. Liu Jing pointed at Liao Hua and said loudly: "General Liao just swore that if he defeats the Jiangdong Army this time, he will never drink again. Brother, make a proof!"

The soldiers suddenly burst into laughter, and some soldiers shouted: "Don't worry, Sima, General Liao dares to steal alcohol, we will sue immediately!"

Everyone laughed even louder. Liu Jing patted Liao Hua's shoulder, his eyes narrowed in laughter, "Brothers have high expectations for you!"

Liao Hua lowered his head. He actually knew that Liu Jing was helping him quit drinking. He bit his lip and suddenly raised his head and said, "I can promise that as long as I defeat Jiangdong Army, I, Liao Hua, will never drink a drop of alcohol again."

"very good!"

Liu Jing looked into Liao Hua's eyes and said, "Liao Yuanjian has always been a man of promise, and I look forward to your promise being fulfilled."

. . . . . . . . .

At this time, a small boat came quickly, and there was a tall and burly general standing at the bow. It was Gan Ning, who suddenly saw Liu Jing on the big boat, and hurriedly shouted: "Sima, I am looking for you! "

Gan Ning jumped onto the big boat and knelt down on one knee to salute, "See Sima!"

In fact, Gan Ning was also appointed Sima of another department by Liu Biao, but Liu Biao's official Gan Ning didn't take it seriously. He valued Liu Jing more. Like Wei Yan, Liao Hua and others, Gan Ning also bet his future on Liu Jing In the face of Jiangdong's superior force, Liu Jing's indomitable, neither humble nor overbearing, made him deeply admired and convinced him.

However, unlike Wei Yan, Liao Hua and others, Gan Ning has his own subordinates, which are about 600 subordinates who have followed him for many years. Liu Jing also tacitly agreed that Gan Ning has his own music department.

Liu Jing stepped forward to help him up and said with a smile, "It's not a time of war, it's enough to do the usual rituals, there's no need to be so cumbersome."

Gan Ning stood up and said solemnly: "Both superiors and inferiors have their own dignity, etiquette is the rule, Sima should not indulge his subordinates too much."

Gan Ning's advice made Liu Jing feel a little grateful, he smiled and said, "Go to the back and talk!"

The two came to the back cabin, where the crew rested. There was a window on the bulkhead and a small table. The two sat facing each other. A soldier served them tea. Gan Ning pondered for a while and said, "Humble job!" There is a plan, and I am here to suggest it to Sima."

"you say!"

"Yesterday, a brother came from Pengze and told me that the Jiangdong Army's Pengze Dazhai warships are less than [-]. I estimate that the number of troops is at most [-]. Sima, this is an opportunity."

Liu Jing pondered for a long time, and said for a long time: "Actually, I have also considered it, but Peng Ze's barracks is well-defended, so it may not be easy to sneak attack."

Gan Ning smiled slightly, "Lu Meng is already cautious enough, and his defenses are tight enough. He was also breached by Sima. I dare not say that on land, but in water, I don't think there is any defense that can stop me."

Liu Jing was overjoyed, "Then I will give Xingba a helping hand!"

. . . . . . . . .

Three days later, the spies sent news that the main force of the Jiangdong Army was found on the river fifty miles away. There were nearly [-] warships marching towards Chaisang. At the head, the catapults and stone cannons were full of young and strong peasants who helped in the battle.

Although there are still some people and materials that have not been transferred to Chaisang City at this time, Chaisang City has completed its battle preparations. The city is covered with catapults and stone cannons. Seven thousand elites and more than [-] civilians have invested in the city defense. .

Liu Jing stood at the top of the city, squinting at the Chaisang wharf. On the wharf, dozens of soldiers were pouring barrels of kerosene into the water, surrounded by floating ropes to ensure that the kerosene would not be diluted and spread into the river.

Although the oil they dumped has not been purified, after precipitation, many impurities have been removed, and it is no longer as viscous as it was at the beginning, and it is more flammable.

Liu Jing looked into the distance again. Although he was only [-]% sure of winning this battle, he had [-]% determination and confidence.

. . . . . . . . .

On the big river, two thousand warships flowed down the river, their sails covering the sky and the sun. This is the main force of the Jiangdong army, with a total of more than [-] people. With the power to defeat Cai Mao's reinforcements and kill Huang Zu, they are mighty. Kill Chaisang.

The situation in Jiangxia is already very clear. As long as Liu Jing's army is defeated again, Jiangxia will be officially merged into Jiangdong's territory. Not only Jiangxia, but also Changsha County in the south is also bound to win.

On a huge building boat in the middle, the Marquis Wu flag inlaid with gold was fluttering in the river wind. Sun Quan stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, gazing at the magnificent river for a long time, but his face was very serious. He no longer felt relaxed like last time, and he had a premonition that this time it would be a bloody battle.

After pondering for a long time, Sun Quan turned around and asked, "Is Ziming here?"

Lu Meng walked out from the crowd, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "The last general is here!"

After Lu Meng was released by Liu Jing, he came directly to Wuchang and healed his wounds in Wuchang. He felt guilty and dared not go to see Sun Quan. He didn't board the boat until yesterday. Sun Quan glanced at his injured arm and asked gently: "How is the injury?" how's it going?"

Lu Meng sighed, "The military doctor said that the bone is broken and it will take at least two months to heal."

Sun Quan nodded, "Then take good care of yourself and don't have any thoughts. After you recover from your injury, I will use you as before."

Lu Meng was moved in his heart, "Thank you, Marquis Wu!"

Sun Quan smiled, and then asked intently: "I want to ask you, what kind of person do you think Liu Jing is?"
