Gan Ning stood on the bow of the boat and looked coldly at the three Jiangdong warships rushing towards him. He seemed to smell the impatient breath of the enemy and wanted to destroy himself. Gan Ning sneered and immediately ordered: "Encircle these three ships!"

The flag soldiers on the mast waved the flags and issued an encirclement order. More than 20 warships surrounded Ding Feng's three warships from three directions. Ding Feng's eyes were about to spit out fire. He had a chance to rush out of a gap before the enemy's encirclement was completed.

More than a dozen large ships were like gates that were slowly closing, while Ding Feng's warship attempted to rush out before closing. Seeing Ding Feng's warship about to seize the opportunity, just at this moment, a large ship of Thousand Stone suddenly came from the slant, crossing the Ding Feng's warship. Amid the screams of exclamation, the two ships collided, wood chips splashed everywhere, water splashed, and the two ships shaking violently.

Jiangxia's warship was smashed and cracked, a large amount of river water poured into the cabin, the ship began to sink rapidly, and dozens of soldiers dived in a hurry to escape. At the same time, Ding Feng's warship was also severely damaged and forced to stop.

This accident caused all the three warships led by Ding Feng to lose the initiative. Nearly twenty Jiangxia warships surrounded three warships. The dense rockets shot out from all directions. Clay pots filled with tinder oil were thrown out by the catapult and smashed at the three Jiangdong army warships. The pots were shattered and the tinder oil burst out and were ignited by the rockets. The three warships were quickly engulfed by the fire.

"General, abandon the ship and escape!"

A soldier shouted in panic. Ding Feng looked at the fire on all sides and opened his bloody mouth to him, which also aroused Ding Feng's wildness. He shot the soldiers who persuaded him to jump ship with a backhand, and shouted at the hundreds of soldiers: "Who dares to dive into the water and abandon the ship, killing him without mercy!"

A hundred Jiangdong soldiers were stunned. Ding Feng looked around and saw a Jiangxia warship on the left. He was less than fifty steps away from them. He pointed to the Jiangxia warship and ordered the shipworker, "Turn, approach that warship!"

The Jiangdong warship, burned by the fire, slowly turned around and rowed along the water flow to the front left, slowly approaching the Jiangxia warship. Ding Feng held a gun in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, leading the soldiers to lie on the side of the ship. The dense rockets passed by their heads, and the masts were creaking, and they were about to fall.

Just as the enemy ship was about to meet, Ding Feng jumped up and jumped onto the Jiangxia warship. He swept his spear and knocked several Jiangxia soldiers to the ground. "Care with me!" Ding Feng roared, and a hundred Jiangdong soldiers followed him onto the Jiangxia warship. The two sides launched a bloody battle for life and death on the deck.

...........

The city of Chaisang was very quiet. The Jiangdong Army implemented martial law in the city and no one was allowed to go to the streets. A group of soldiers patrolled the streets. In addition to the patrol soldiers, there were also yamen runners with swords. They were all natives of Chaisang. Their duty was to monitor the possible civil unrest in Chaisang and use the advantages of the locals to control Chaisang for the Jiangdong Army.

The yamen runners were wearing black and red soap clothes, long swords on their waists, and five-color sticks in their hands. There were a total of 180 people, divided into six teams, and unified by the command of the county magistrate Zhu Xun.

At this time, the war was going on fiercely on the river, and teams of yamen runners were patrolling extra hard. A team of yamen runners were returning to the county yamen. The head of the thief Cao was thin and his back looked like a young man. This person was Liu Zheng, the leader of the Eagle Strike Army who was inserted as a yamen runner by Zhu Xun.

Not only Liu Zheng, but also a total of 30 people in this yamen runner team, all of which were Liu Zheng's subordinates. The Jiangdong Army never thought that the yamen runners patrolling the streets with them turned out to be the most elite Eagle Strike Army in Jiangxia.

Liu Zheng had already disguised himself and his face changed drastically. No one knew him as the famous "eagle monkey" in Jiangxia's army. As soon as Liu Zheng led his men to the steps of the county government, the county magistrate Zhu Xun hurriedly came out of the county government and waved to him, "Hao Cao, please come here!"

Zhu Xun led Liu Zheng to a secluded place, took out a volume of information and sent it to him, and whispered: "The pigeon letter my father just sent just now seems to be very urgent."

Liu Zheng opened the Gexin and read it, and immediately nodded, "Thank you, county magistrate, I understand!"

He returned to the team and told everyone: "Redirect to the West City!"

This yamen runner patrol team set out again and headed towards the west city...

In the southwest of Chaisang City, it is the location of Cang City, which is the place where the army stockpiled grain and military supplies. It covers an area of ​​more than 500 acres and has hundreds of warehouses. A circle of warehouse walls is built around it. The warehouse walls are slightly shorter than the city wall and are relatively thin. They cannot walk on it like the city head. However, there are five sentry towers built around, and dozens of sentries closely monitor the movements in Cang City.

In addition, there is a circle of Gucang River outside. You can only get close to the gate of Cangcheng through a suspension bridge. Gucang River is also a Caohe River. You can take a small boat to enter Cangcheng from the water gate to transport materials. This is also a feature of the south. Most freight transports are carried through waterways.

It was noon at this time, and the Jiangdong Army was focusing on the river surface. The Cangcheng was very deserted and soldiers were not inspecting around. The yamen runners walked across the river outside Cangcheng and did not stop. They continued to go south, cross a small street, and then went east, but at this moment, one person was missing in the team.

The leader Liu Zheng disappeared, and the sentry guard in Cangcheng would not notice such changes. They did not pay much attention to this side. They all looked to the north of the city and were concerned about the battle on the river surface of the north of the city.

The bank of the river was full of overgrown thorn branches. At this time, Liu Zheng secretly showed his eyes from the thorn bushes. He was about to start his action. This was also his mission to sneak into Chaisang City, burning down the warehouse city and severely damaging the supplies of Jiangdong Army.

He had been waiting for the order, and just now, he finally received the order from Liu Jing, but the order was to immediately burn down the turbid oil stored in the warehouse city. It was noon now, and it was not convenient for thirty people to move at the same time, so he could only try to start alone.

Liu Zheng has passed by Cangcheng countless times in the past ten days. He has already made a careful plan. His eyes turned to Shuimen. There will be the key to his entry into Cangcheng. Liu Zheng is not in a hurry and is waiting patiently for the opportunity.

About half an hour later, a fleet of twenty ships sailed from Caohe into the Gucang River and headed towards the Watergate. The opportunity Liu Zheng had been waiting for finally came.

This is a team of 100-stone flat-bottom cargo ships. There are Jiangdong soldiers on the ship. They approached the water gate along the narrow waterway. The head of the gate shouted to the water gate: "Come on the order of the governor of Zhou to get the turbulent oil and open the door quickly!"
