Chapter 486 Finally, here comes the fat meat delivered to the door!
After several rounds of shelling, even though the bombardment had stopped, the terrifying roar was still echoing throughout the world, as if the thunder and wrath of God had descended and refused to dissipate for a long time.
Countless people cast their gazes on the half-collapsed city wall, with horror and disbelief in their eyes.
After the hustle and bustle, what is left in Chaisang City is tranquility, no, to be precise, it should be said that it is dead quiet!
The afterglow of the setting sun became more gentle, as if it was soothing the severely damaged Chaisang City.
Huge panic began to spread in the hearts of the people in Chaisang City. There has been no war for more than ten years, which has made the city somewhat forget the cruelty of war.
After a brief silence, a loud shout erupted outside the city: "My sons, follow me and kill!"
This kind of cry seems to shatter all decay.
The lingering sound echoed throughout the heaven and earth, shocking everyone in the city to the point where their legs were weak.
"kill!!!"
“Dingle bells!!!”
Wherever the bells go, there is no peace!
The soldiers defending the city who had just crawled out from the rubble looked up and saw Cao Jun charging towards them. The huge black mass was really heartbreaking!
Even the guard Xu Sheng's complexion was a little pale at the moment. When the war came, no one would be spared.
In the evening breeze, Sima Yi rushed over and reported to Lu Yanhui in a rare sonorous voice: "Reporting to the teacher, the artillery battalion has completed six rounds of shelling and successfully destroyed the enemy's city wall!"
Lu Yan's face showed neither sadness nor joy, and Gu Jing had no waves. "Very good. Next, the archers will form a formation to prepare for the return of Xingba's army."
"Here!"
Sima Yi clasped his fists in a decent manner and performed a military salute, then ran away again.
Chaisang City has only one outer wall and no urn city.
After the outer city was destroyed, Gan Ning led the landing soldiers to march straight into the city.
The defenders of Chaisang City had been completely demoralized by the artillery, and they could not even think of resisting in the face of the oncoming Cao army.
Escape was their only option. The other option was to kneel down and ask for surrender.
Gan Ning ignored the Jiangdong soldiers who surrendered and escaped.
Naturally, Gan Ning would not deliberately target the people in the city.
What they want to do is to go straight to the warehouse where food is stored in Chaisang City... As long as the fire goes out, Jiangdong will lose nearly half of the food!
Xu Sheng saw Gan Ning's purpose, but he was powerless to stop it.
Originally, he wanted to fight to the death to delay Cao Jun's attack, but Xu Sheng, who was physically and mentally shocked, was captured alive by Gan Ning without even taking a single move.
Zhou Yu was alone on the bow of the boat, looking into the distance of Moling.
Suddenly, Lu Meng quickly ran to his side, pointed in the direction of Chaisang City on the other side and shouted:
"Captain, look! The sky over there is red, it seems like there is a fire!!!"
Zhou Yu quickly turned around and looked around. After a moment, he opened his eyes wide and shouted: "No! That's the direction of Chaisang City!!!"
Hearing the exclamations of Lu Meng and Zhou Yu, Sun Quan, who was sulking in the cabin, rushed out immediately!
"Gong Jin, Zi Ming, have you discovered anything?" Sun Quan came to Zhou Yu and Lu Meng and asked.
With anger on his face, Zhou Yu pointed in the direction of Chaisang City and said, "My lord, Chaisang City may have been poisoned by Cao's army!"
"What did you say!" Sun Quan's eyes were splitting, and the muscles on his face were twisted into a ball.
Chaisang City is a bridgehead they spent countless manpower and financial resources to build, and they also hoarded nearly half of the food in Jiangdong! Now they are attacked by Cao's army, and it is very likely to fall into a sea of fire... They are going crazy!
"Pass my order and move forward at full speed to rescue Chaisang City!"
Sun Quan's order was exactly what Zhou Yu and Lu Meng had in mind.
The Jiangdong Navy, which was larger than two thousand warships, immediately turned around and headed towards Chaisang City!
...
Gan Ning and Su Fei kept their mission in mind and did not waste any time on the road except for defeating the defenders who dared to block the road.
After setting fire to dozens of large and small warehouses in the city, Gan Ning carried Xu Sheng and led the navy and walked away laughing.
Jiangdong's navy ran wildly, and finally caught up with Gan Ning just as he returned to the ship and prepared to continue westward!
While Sun Quan was hesitating who should direct the upcoming water battle, the sharp-eyed Lu Meng suddenly saw a huge warship vaguely appearing on the river to the west!
"Lord, Grand Governor, look over there quickly!" Lu Meng pointed into the distance and shouted loudly.
Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others took a closer look in the direction of Lu Meng's finger, and saw that the big ship was flying the flag of Cao Jun! There were many small boats beside the big ship, which should be sentry ships sent out for sentry.
"It's Cao Jun's warship!"
"Finally caught them!"
"I must crush them to ashes!"
The Jiangdong generals couldn't help but cheer.
Sun Quan also breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart that was hanging in the air fell back.
Jiangdong Navy is invincible in the world!
Cao Jun definitely had more than one large warship, but even if there were hundreds of large warships, in the hearts of Jiangdong soldiers, they were just here to give away lives and meritorious deeds!
Sun Quan glanced at Zhou Yu beside him, and was about to say that he would give him command of the entire navy.
But before Sun Quan could say anything, Zhou Yu took the lead and said to Lu Meng beside him:
"Go and deliver the order, instruct the soldiers not to take action for the time being, and to obey the flags!"
"Here!" Lu Meng didn't care about Sun Quan's psychology and took the order and left.
Zhou Yu began to give orders to others again. Although Sun Quan did not object openly, a pair of tightly clenched fists hidden in his sleeves showed that he was not at peace in his heart.
But in the face of foreign enemies, Sun Quan chose to be patient after all. However, Zhou Yu's behavior of ignoring his master and taking the decision without permission has already buried a deep thorn in Sun Quan's heart.
As Jiangdong's army got closer and closer, they finally saw more large warships not far behind the big ship!
"hiss!"
"many!!!"
"Are there really hundreds of such huge warships???"
You know, there are only eighteen large ships in the entire Jiangdong.
But as for Cao Jun's navy, they have a hundred ships in front of them! And all of them are large warships that can rival tower ships!
"I have seen rich people, but I have never seen such rich people!"
"Grandma, if we seize all their boats, won't we become rich?"
This man's words immediately made the surrounding soldiers' eyes light up, "Yes! If we can seize all the warships of Cao's Navy, then our Jiangdong Navy will be truly invincible!"
Even Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel excited.
But fortunately, Zhou Yu finally remembered Sun Quan before launching the attack.
He cupped his fists and saluted Sun Quan and said, "Please let me know whether I will launch an attack or not!"
"When it comes to water warfare, no one is more proficient than you, Zhou Gongjin... It's up to you to take command!" Sun Quan replied in a calm tone, as if there was no hint of displeasure towards Zhou Yu.
"Here!" Zhou Yu just asked symbolically.
After getting Sun Quan's approval, he immediately turned around and said to the messenger: "Listen to my order, the sterns will come forward, and the fighting ships will follow, and launch a Jin attack! If there is a chance, use fierce fire oil to burn the ships!"
"Got the order!"
After a while, the order was conveyed to each ship through flags.
The Jiangdong warships were fully prepared, with full power, and sailed down the river, heading towards Cao Jun's navy with great momentum.
