The Chaisang city gate opened, and Liao Hua led a thousand soldiers to kill them and rushed straight to Caohekou.

At this time, the mouth of Caohe River was in chaos, and more than 20 large ships were lit. The fire spread across the Caohe River. The fire was surging and thick smoke filled the whole river surface. The entire river surface became a sea of ​​fire.

Many soldiers were unable to escape and were burned to death on the boat, filling the air with a pungent odor, but more soldiers dived and escaped and swam ashore.

The Jiangdong soldiers lying ambushed on both sides of the Caohe River obviously had no time to intercept the fleeing Jiangxia soldiers. The Chaisang city gate was opened and more than a thousand defenders came out.

After shooting out several rounds of rockets, the soldiers of Jiangdong quickly evacuated to both sides and left Chaisang City.

Seven or eight hundred Jiangxia soldiers gathered in groups of three or three by the Cao River. Everyone was throwing their armor and in an extremely embarrassing manner. They looked at the big ship burning on the water with lingering fear.

At this time, the Chaisang defenders rushed over quickly and surrounded Jiangxia's soldiers. Liao Hua shouted: "The Jiangdong Army is about to arrive, so please return to the city with us!"

Deputy General Zhong Shun looked at him with confusion. Logically, he should have seen the garrison commander under Zhou Ling, but he had never seen the person in front of him. He stepped forward and fisted and said, "I'm in Wuchang tooth general Zhong Shun, may I ask this general's surname?"

"My surname is Liao, I have just been promoted. Let's talk about anything I have to go to the city!"

Zhong Shun wanted to ask Zhou Ling about the situation again, but his soldiers were already impatient. They were afraid that the Jiangdong army would come, so they all pulled their feet to run into the city. In just a moment, the soldiers on the shore ran clean, leaving only Zhong Shun.

Helplessly, Zhong Shun had to follow him and run into the city, but just after he ran a few steps, Liao Hua suddenly came from behind and slashed Zhong Shun's neck with a knife. Zhong Shun didn't even scream, and his head was chopped more than one foot away.

Liao Hua said coldly to everyone: "This person missed the opportunity to fight and refused to obey the military order. He was executed according to the military rules!"

He waved his hand and said, "Go back to the city!"

More than a thousand defenders followed Liao Hua and escorted Jiangxia's defeated soldiers toward Chaisang City. Soon after, they entered the city and the city gate rumbled and closed again.

Huang Xi led more than 200 warships to chase east, but after only chasing for more than 20 miles, he discovered something was wrong. The Jiangdong navy, which had originally fled in panic, was lined up and quietly waiting on the river ahead.

Just like setting up a net of heaven and earth, waiting for them to take the bait, Huang She became confused in her heart, what is Jiangdong Army doing, is there any ambush nearby?

At this moment, the lookout soldier on the mast shouted: "General Huang, the enemy situation has been discovered from the north and south!"

Huang She was shocked and stood on the side of the ship. Looking at the river surface on both sides, he saw that two Jiangdong naval troops appeared on the river at the same time, hundreds of warships attacked his fleet from north to south.

Immediately afterwards, someone on the boat shouted: "General Huang, news came from behind, there was also an enemy situation in the back."

Cold sweat slowly flowed down from Huang Qiu's forehead. He finally realized that he had been trapped. It turned out that the reinforcements of the Jiangdong Army had arrived long ago and were waiting for him!

"General, what should I do?" Several generals looked at him anxiously.

Huang She looked at the warships on both sides carefully again. Based on his experience, there were at least tens of thousands of troops. If he did not leave, he would be wiped out.

He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Retreat immediately! Break back to Wuchang."

Several generals were shocked, "General, do you care about Chaisang?"

"That's all, I can't even save myself!" Huang She was angry and cursed viciously.

In history, Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang chose Liu Bei one after another because they saw the development of history.

Xu Shu felt Liu Jing distracted, and couldn't help but look back at him strangely, and asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "I was wondering, if we fight to the death with the Jiangdong Army in this way, in the future, if Cao's army moves south in a large scale, will we and the Jiangdong Army form a strategic alliance?

Xu Shu also laughed, "Kong Ming also said that from ancient times to the present, it has been difficult for the south to compete with the north. Cao Cao's strong troops and horses are not something that Jingzhou or Dongwu can resist. Only when the two families join forces and take advantage of the Yangtze River water war can they defeat Cao's army. It can be seen that Kong Ming and Gongzi have the same skills."

As the two were talking, the sound of war drums in the distance suddenly became clear, and rumbled and echoed on the river like thunder. A soldier on the looking tower next to him shouted: "The Jiangxia army is back from defeat!"

Everyone looked into the distant river and saw more than 30 warships sailing towards the northwest. The first warship was planted with red and yellow battle flags. It was the Jiangxia warship I saw more than an hour ago. There were only more than 250 warships left, and now there were only more than 30 warships left. The Jiangxia army was defeated and returned.

Dozens of burned warships at the mouth of Caohekou sank into the bottom of the river, blocking the waterway, making it impossible for the Jiangxia army's warships to withdraw back to Chaisang City. Of course, they had no intention of withdrawing Chaisang City at all. Huang Xi led the last dozen warships to sail north in panic and fled to Wuchang County.

Two or three miles east of the defeated ship, a huge Jiangdong navy appeared. Together with the Jiangxia warships they captured, they were densely packed with sails covering the sky and the sun, covering the entire river surface, forming a huge scene. Six or seven hundred warships were arranged in seven teams, stretching for dozens of miles.

"There are at least twenty thousand troops!"

Xu Shu talked to himself, and it was obvious that he was a little nervous. This was actually the first time he had encountered a big battle. He was really not sure whether he could win in the end.

Liu Jing also had a serious expression. It was obvious that the Jiangdong Army was determined to win Chaisang. He was willing to send tens of thousands of people to mobilize them. I don’t know who is the head commander of the Jiangdong Army now. Could it be that Lu Su is not successful?

Liu Jing turned around and saw that his soldiers showed fear in their faces. This is understandable. Most of these soldiers were recruits and had never seen any major war scenes. Of course, they would be afraid. Isn’t Liu Jing nervous too?

Liu Jing quickly walked to the big drum, picked up the drumsticks, and began to beat the drum hard, "dong!dong!dong!dong!dong!' The huge drum sounded across the city.

Immediately afterwards, countless big drums were beaten, and the excited drum sound echoed over Chaisang City. With the sound of the inspiring confidence, the confidence of the soldiers guarding the city began to gradually recover. Many people no longer had fear, but became eager for war.

The large ship of Jiangdong Army was mooring against the dock. Teams of soldiers walked off the ship and began to quickly gather in the wilderness in front of the dock. In one hour, 20,000 troops gathered into four square formations, with flags like clouds and swords and guns like forests. The soldiers of Jiangdong Army were neatly armored and had high morale.

The four 5,000-strong square formation was full of murderous aura. The Jiangdong Army attacked Chaisang City several times. This time it sent tens of thousands of troops. This time it was extremely important to them, and they were determined to win it.

Surrounded by more than a dozen generals including Xu Sheng, Ling Cao, Lu Su stood tall on a mound, staring at Chaisang City two miles away.

"Wen Xiang can be sure that the main general of Chaisang City has changed?" Lu Su glanced at Xu Sheng and asked.

Xu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I caught several injured prisoners of war. From them, they learned that Zhou Ling was dead. The current garrison was Liu Jing, the nephew of Liu Biao, who was quite famous in Jingzhou.

Lu Su nodded, "I have also heard of this man. The young man is promising, but he just took over the power of Chaisang and may not be able to convince the public. We can be polite first and then soldiers!"

He turned around and ordered his personal soldiers to say, "Send me a letter to Liu Jing. If he surrenders, I promise to let him go back to Xiangyang. If he dares to resist stubbornly, once the Jiangdong army enters the city, not only will his life be lost, but the Chaisang defenders will also be executed without leaving any one."
