After the entire army retreated to Xiaoxian, Sun Ru not only ordered the supply of meat to allow the soldiers to have a good time and have a good rest, but also summoned young and strong men in the city to transport the city guard equipment to the top of the city, strengthen the city defense, and continue to act as a stance of being strictly guarded.

On this day, Sun Ru received a report that the reinforcements had arrived at the designated location, and the reinforcements general brought more than a hundred cavalry to Xiaoxian in person.

The reinforcements that came were quite surprised by Sun Ru. It was not any of the brave generals he was familiar with, but Zhang Zhongsheng.

"Why did my junior brother come in person?"

Sun Ru couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the other party in front of the general's mansion.

"Of course I'm here to help you." Zhang Zhongsheng's face was filled with a kind smile.

Although Sun Ru was not a disciple of Wang Zaifeng, he was also a Confucian scholar. However, unlike Zhang Zhongsheng, Sun Ru was extremely fond of military books even when he was studying. As early as when Wang Zaifeng led his Confucian disciples to Huainan, he had already defected to Gao Pian.

Zhang Zhongsheng looked at Sun Ru's eyes and sighed: "The senior brother is now full of golden sword energy. At first glance, he thought it was a general family. In the past, there was not much bookish energy, so he couldn't see it at all."

Sun Ru brought the other party into the mansion, and smiled as he walked, "Young brother's words are biased. The generals in the army all call Brother Yu Brother Yu the General of Confucianism. I will talk about it later. What is the situation now when the 50,000 reinforcements that Brother Yu wants?"

Zhang Zhongsheng shook his head secretly. Although he had been familiar with his senior brother's character, he was still a little uncomfortable with the other party's direct and neat personality. Both of them were still halfway, and it would be fine if the other party didn't care about their well-being. Before they even entered the house to sit down and drink a sip of tea, they began to talk about the serious matters directly. It was really inhumane.

However, Zhang Zhongsheng was not worried about being a fellow disciple after all, and he said to the truth: "The 50,000 soldiers brought by Yu Brother are all elite navy soldiers, and I also got nearly half of the excellent battleships of the Huaibei navy. For this reason, I have been trying to force myself in front of the King of Wu. This old face is considered to be a loss."

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at Sun Ru.

Sun Ru also looked at him.

The two of them were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was strange.

Sun Ru suppressed his displeasure: "Why did you see me do anything, but you didn't say a few words of thanks?"

Sun Ru looked serious: "Whatever you thank you, you are all fellow disciples. Don't use those who are empty, you will be given half of your military merits after the war!"

Sun Ru laughed silently, and her unhappiness disappeared in an instant, and she said helplessly: "Senior brother, senior brother, you are really, people don't know what to say to you."

Having said that, he did not refuse the issue of military merit distribution, but added seriously: "The King of Wu said that if Xiao County cannot be defended, it will be useless even if you bear the blame for the thorns."

Sun Ru nodded, nodded, and said seriously: "Of course I will not apologize for my crime. If I lose the battle, I will commit suicide at the city."

Zhang Zhongsheng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. The so-called pursuing accusation was to pray for forgiveness. In the final analysis, he was afraid of death or unwilling to die, but committing suicide was much simpler and more direct.

The two came to the hall to sit separately. Zhang Zhong leaned over and asked, "What is the current situation of the battle? Can you win with your senior brother?"

Speaking of the war, Sun Ru was confident, "When I retreated from Dangshan, I left many cultivators and spies with high cultivation along the way. Now I have received returns one after another, and it is possible to confirm the situation of the thief army: Zhao Nianci failed to pursue our troops, and ordered all the troops to go straight to Xiaoxian. She brought her back camp's supplies, food and grass and then came."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongsheng had already realized something: "In other words, the thief army that has arrived one after another outside Xiao County now does not carry any food or food collected along the way, except for the food that he has collected along the way... Which road did Zhao Nianci take in the back camp?"

Sun Ru said slowly: "Zhao Nianci also knew that the front army had no food, so he had to speed up the marching. The fastest route was of course to go to the Sishui River. I found out in Dangshan that the other party's teams transporting food, grass and supplies were all in Sishui."

"The river transport of grain is not only convenient but also quick, it is natural." Zhang Zhongsheng's mind flashed, and he understood Sun Ru's plan, and immediately asked for an order: "Senior brother, I brought the reinforcements. How about letting me lead the navy be better than to fight this time?"

"You?" Sun Ru looked at him with little trust, "You are a scholar and have never been familiar with military affairs. How can you lead the army to fight? Besides, water war is not as complicated as land wars. If there is a slight change, the situation will be extremely complicated. This matter cannot be discussed."

"Senior brother, you..."

"I have decided, my junior brother doesn't have to say much. You should guard Xiaoxian for me, this is the first priority. I will lead the navy to rob and kill the rear camp of the thief army!"

......

There are thousands of sails on the Sishui River, and it stretches for more than ten miles at a glance, swimming downstream like a giant dragon.

In the middle and upper reaches of the Si Shui River in northwest of Xuzhou, the river channel is not very wide. These thousands of sails of various kinds gather together and occupy nearly half of the river channel. Fortunately, the nearby private ships no longer move, so there is no need to worry about ramming the official ship.

It was almost dusk, and on the battleship headed, Zhao Nianci stood with a knife and looked out heroically at the river ahead.

Although the fleet behind her was huge, the sails were too large and of different sizes, and there were many fishing boats mixed in, which looked a bit inconsistent. This was also impossible. Although there were some rivers in the Central Plains, there were many fishing boats, whether it was canal transportation or private merchant ships. After all, they were not serious navy, and the two were essentially very different.

"General, the probe is back."

At the last moment when the sun disappeared, a young soldier general brought two monks behind Zhao Nianci.

"What's the situation?" Zhao Nianci asked without looking back.

"Reported to the general, the army has arrived in Xiaoxian one after another. The bandit army is driving, whipping many young men to strengthen the city defenses and not leaving the city to harass them. Therefore, our army camps are very smooth. Although the army collected some food along the way, the quantity is not enough to maintain the cost of nearly 200,000 troops. I hope the general will arrive as soon as possible."

Zhao Nianci said lightly: "Tell them that before sunset tomorrow, I will definitely go to Xiao County."

"yes!"

After thinking about it, Zhao Nianci ordered the young military general, "Wu Zheng, send the order, the fleet set off torches and continue moving forward so that they can rest at midnight."

"Yes." Wu Zheng took the order and left.

After that, nothing happened. However, on the eve of midnight, when the fleet was about to stop and rest, countless torches suddenly lit up in front of the dark black. The scene looked like towering beasts, opening their glowing eyes in the darkness and revealing a hideous and terrifying face.

A water city composed of countless warships with unified standards and distinct specifications suddenly appeared in front of the fleet.

Zhao Nianci and others could only see that on the tall and sturdy battleship covered with cowhide, teams of powerful Eredivisie with bows, mysterious Wu soldiers were looking down at them with coveted eyes.

Under Huang's flagship battleship, Sun Ru, who was tall and straight, was pulling his sword out of the sheath, and pointed to Zhao Nianci with a cold look.

In an instant, the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded, slid secretly through the dark night sky, and crashed into the fleet behind Zhao Nianci!

Screams suddenly rang one after another, terrifying the cold river surface of the autumn night.

The soldiers were in chaos, and the fleet was in chaos in an instant. Ships of all sizes, large and small, collided together, and the sound of falling into the water was thrust into a thunderous sound.

For most soldiers, they didn't know what enemies they had encountered. They could only see the palace-like Wu army warships in the sky and the sharp arrows pouring down like heavy rain.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack..."

"It's Wu Army, Wu Army Navy, how could they be here..."

“What should we do…”

"Stop the boat, stop the boat quickly!"

"We are in a hurry, run..."

"General, General..."

The fleet, which had no combat power at all, was caught off guard against the attack of the elite navy of Wu's army without any warning and soon entered the self-destruction process.

At this time, relying on the strength of its own warships, the Wu Navy had already begun to charge - no, the Wu warships were charging, shooting arrows while charging. For them, the fleet in front of them was extremely weak and even more fragile than a sheep.

In fact, the baggage fleet composed of these miscellaneous ships could not withstand the collision of their hard warships.

"Don't panic, don't panic, welcome the enemy! Each unit is not allowed to retreat, welcome the enemy!"

Wu Zheng shouted, and looked at Zhao Nianci: "General, what should we do?"

Zhao Nianci stood there staring at the general who was attacking Wu Jun, motionless, her whole body was as stiff as a statue. Her fists were clenched and her face was blue and white.

Hasn't the Wu army been defeated? Didn't it be that our army was so killed that it was so shattered that it didn't even dare to defend Dangshan? Didn't it throw away all the way, with nearly 10,000 casualties, and escaped to Xiaoxian by chance? Didn't they busy strengthening the city defense in Xiaoxian and preparing to defend the death to the death, and even our army set up camp to attack?

Why can they leave Xiaoxian and come here to attack us?

How dare they?!

Before I chased after me and killed them completely, and avenged the blood feud of the three fellow disciples that day, they actually dared to take the initiative?!

Isn’t Sun Ru’s bastard only knows how to make tricks, isn’t he as timid as a mouse, isn’t he without any great will and wisdom?

Why did he dare to come to the general to seek death?!

Zhao Nianci gritted her teeth and pulled out the horizontal knife, raised her face with a distorted expression, and shouted wildly: "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill these remaining defeated soldiers! Kill..."

As she said that, she rushed out of the warship and was about to attack Sun Ru's warship head-on.

Wu Zheng was quick-eyed and quickly grabbed the other party, "General, no! No, general!"

He finally realized that in the face of such an unexpected situation, Zhao Nianci had no choice but to be unwilling to accept madness.

Zhao Nianci pushed Wu Zheng aside, raised his sword and pointed at Sun Ru on the tall warship, his eyes red: "Sun Ru! You thief! You have the courage to come out and fight for life and death with me! You sinister and cunning thief, do you dare to come?!"

Sun Ru was standing tall in the warship, still as moving as a mountain. He saw Zhao Nianci in front of the chaotic fleet and smiled contemptuously: "General Zhao, it seems that you are not suitable for battle on the battlefield. On the battlefield, how can you fight one-on-one in front of the main generals of both sides fight one after another? I think you should go home and have a baby."

"You..." Zhao Nianci didn't lift it up in one breath, and suddenly felt a salty throat, and a ball of blood spurted out when he opened his mouth.

Seeing this, Wu Zheng was very anxious and quickly called his personal soldiers to protect Zhao Nianci, "General, go quickly, I'll cut off the rear!"

As he said that, he did not give Zhao Nianci the opportunity to refuse, and called a group of personal soldiers to seize the warships of the Wu Army Navy.

"The whole army obeyed the order, the left wing surrounded him and advanced forward. Zhao Nianci could not be allowed to run away!" Sun Ru waved his hand, his smile full of confidence, "I lost Dangshan and paid nearly 10,000 soldiers' lives. The price of 20,000 sets of armor, how can this thief escape?"
