At the shore of Chao Lake, Cheng Pu arrived first, formed a water formation, and finally caught up with the defeated Sun Quan. Not long after, he saw a large number of defeated troops surging over the mountains and plains from the north. Even though he had been prepared, he saw these defeated troops.
During the war, both Cheng Pu and Sun Quan had only bitterness in their hearts.
This was the second time that Jiangdong's expansion to the north was frustrated. Two generations of Jiangdong's lords suffered a tragic defeat. In terms of the degree of misery, Sun Quan was not inferior to Sun Ce's time, or even worse.
There were many reasons for Sun Ce's defeat. He mobilized only a few thousand Jiangdong naval forces and could not give full play to his own advantages. However, this time he used all Jiangdong's strength in the Northern Expedition, but when he first reached Hefei, he was defeated by the enemy's larger force with fewer troops.
, he was killed and fled in embarrassment. This battle was enough to make Jiangdong and Sun Quan famous throughout the world, but it was not a good reputation.
Chaos and noise filled the sky. Cheng Pu, who had been well prepared, ordered his troops to retreat to both sides at the ferry. The ships were basically there. He led the naval force that had already formed a formation to dock here, preparing to resist Lu Lingqi's attack.
attack.
There were soldiers who were at a loss and just rushed this way. Cheng Pu was not polite and killed them directly. When life and death were at stake, there was no room for mercy. Under Cheng Pu's decisive methods, the defeated soldiers finally regained some sense.
Start to retreat to both sides.
"De Mou, do we still have a chance?" Sun Quan looked at Cheng Pu with some reluctance, his pale face filled with worries about the future.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to win Jianghuai in one fell swoop and completely consolidate his position, but who knew it would end like this? It was an ending he couldn't accept. He couldn't imagine what kind of pressure he would face after returning to Jiangdong.
Cheng Pu remained silent.
Chance?
It was good to be able to take Sun Quan back properly. He regretted not listening to Zhou Yu's advice when discussing the matter. Facts have proved that Zhou Yu's worries were right. Victory is good, but today's Jiangdong really cannot withstand such a big event.
The Jiangdong generals at that time were indeed too optimistic about the future, so that when the defeat came, everyone was at a loss.
After this defeat, Sun Quan may have to spend a lot of effort to stabilize Jiangdong.
Seeing Cheng Pu's silence, Sun Quan seemed to know the answer from the silence, and closed his eyes weakly. He knew better than Cheng Pu about the situation he was about to face, and it was precisely because of this that he felt desperate.
.
Woo~woo~woo~
The loud sound of the horn resounded throughout the countryside, but for Jiangdong Army, the sound of the horn was like a nightmare.
Sun Quan's expression changed and he subconsciously wanted to run, but was stopped by Cheng Pu.
"Don't worry, my lord, most of our troops are now in the water. No matter how ferocious the thief is, if he dares to chase her into the water, he will never come back!" Cheng Pu said in a deep voice. The water battle is probably the last battle for Jiangdong soldiers.
He is proud. If they fight in the water, he has absolute confidence to defeat Lu Lingqi.
After hearing this, Sun Quan finally calmed down a lot, but soon Sun Quan suddenly frowned and asked: "General Demou, I haven't asked yet, who is that thief general?"
It's embarrassing to say that after being chased all the way, Sun Quan didn't even know who was chasing him. Did Lu Bu have such a general under his command?
"This person is Lu Bu's daughter. Although she is a female, her martial arts skills are not inferior to those of men. She also fought in Guangling last time, and many generals died under her hands." Cheng Pu sighed. Others did not recognize him, but he recognized him.
With Lu Lingqi, Jiangdong had an all-star lineup last time, but Lu Bu also had strong players.
Even when all the powerful generals under Lu Bu's command came out, Lu Lingqi was not overshadowed. Now fighting again, this woman seems to be a little stronger. Fighting on land, I am afraid that no Jiangdong general has absolute confidence that she can defeat her.
Thinking of this woman, Cheng Pu felt depressed.
"Lü Bu's daughter!?" Sun Quan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Cheng Pu in disbelief. He was actually being chased to this point by a female general, and even caused the defeat of a hundred thousand troops?
Even if Lu Bu was chasing him, he would not feel so frustrated. But now that he knew that the person who was chasing and killing him was a woman, Sun Quan felt ashamed and had the urge to throw himself into the lake on the spot. He had already calmed down and was defensive.
Suffered heavy losses again.
This battle was so huge that it would surely spread throughout the world, and he would probably be laughed to death by the heroes of the world.
"My lord, please don't underestimate this girl. In my opinion, this girl's martial arts skills are enough to be ranked among the best in the world. Her ability to control soldiers when she commanded eight hundred cavalry is far beyond ordinary generals." Cheng Pu probably said.
He understood Sun Quan's feelings, but Lu Lingqi's power was astonishing, and the commander was not bad at all, but he was defeated by her... It was indeed unacceptable, and he could only offer words of comfort.
This is actually true. Not to mention Sun Quan, Cheng Pu was a little frightened by Lu Lingqi's ferocious energy and strength when she chased them. He didn't dare to take direct action.
Sun Quan nodded silently, but he couldn't accept the fact in his heart no matter what. He was treated like this by a woman, how could he see anyone in the future?
On the shore of the lake, the horns of the Xuzhou Army were like the horns of death, stimulating countless Jiangdong soldiers to run madly towards the lake. Some even threw themselves directly into the lake and swam frantically towards the lake.
Before the enemy troops came over, the Jiangdong soldiers who had been killed and courageously showed signs of falling into chaos again, which made many generals look a little dark and immediately began to rectify their respective troops.
Cheng Pu stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance. He raised his flag and a faint light curtain quickly enveloped the fleet. Hundreds of ships of different sizes lined up in a row, forming a strange formation.
The cavalry led by Lu Lingqi appeared in the field of vision first. When she saw the light curtain in front of her, she frowned slightly, raised her halberd to the sky, and slowed down the march.
"Let go!" Cheng Pu also waved the flag in his hand fiercely at this time, and arrows flew into the sky from each ship. They seemed a little scattered, but after reaching a certain height, they gathered together skillfully.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the somewhat thin arrow array suddenly increased in number, and the number seemed to have doubled in an instant, forming a black rain of arrows, overwhelmingly covering the direction of Lu Lingqi. Although there was still Jiangdong who could escape in the future,
The soldiers, but at this time, they didn't care about that many.
"Royal ~ Burn the Sky!" Lu Lingqi stopped the military formation, Fang Tian pointed his halberd towards the sky, the military formation changed to defensive state, a faint golden light enveloped the entire military formation, followed by a layer of fire rising from Lu Lingqi's body and spreading towards
A cloud of flames formed over the entire military formation. The overwhelming rain of arrows shot from the sky was blocked by the flaming cloud-like military formation. The moment it passed the military formation, it was burnt to ashes by the scorching flames and floated down, like the sky.
It started to fall like black snowflakes.
The moment the arrow rain disappeared, Lu Lingqi's high-raised Fang Tian painted halberd suddenly slashed down, and the flames covering the entire military formation quickly gathered here with the power of the entire military formation following Lu Lingqi's slash.
, finally gathered into a fire phoenix and blasted towards Cheng Pu's naval battle formation with a power that seemed to burn out everything.
Cheng Pu stood on the bow of the boat, his face sinking like water. He saw the fire phoenix sweeping towards this side with the momentum of destroying everything. He suddenly raised it and drew the blade. A large amount of water rose from the lake, forming a huge stream.
Then he shouted loudly and slashed out with his sword. The rising water column turned into a water dragon and roared towards the roaring fire phoenix following Cheng Pu's slashing.
"Chi~"
The fire phoenix and the water dragon collided violently, and the steaming mist instantly shrouded the surroundings in mist. Countless soldiers nearby screamed and were burned by the hot mist, rolling and wailing on the ground. However, the fire phoenix was eventually killed by the water dragon.
After it was extinguished, the remaining water dragon surged toward Lu Lingqi's position ferociously.
"Bang~"
The surging water dragon was blocked by the reassembled military formation, causing violent shocks. After a moment of stalemate, it dissipated unwillingly and turned into endless drops of water falling on the ground, instantly making the surrounding lakeshore muddy.
The fog filled the lake shore, blocking everyone's sight, but it also gave Jiangdong's army time to withdraw into the lake. Lu Lingqi frowned slightly, but this was something she had never thought of. With a sudden move in her heart, she quickly moved the cavalry to the edge.
The next moment, another huge water dragon landed where they were just now, blasting a huge hole in the ground.
Lu Lingqi frowned at this scene. The combat power of Jiangdong Army after entering the water was indeed terrifying, especially the use of water, which improved Jiangdong Army's combat power by several levels.
While Lu Lingqi was walking around the lake, she kept firing waves of rockets at the opponent. Although she couldn't see it, the lake was full of Jiangdong navy ships at the moment. There was no need to aim. As long as they shot into the lake, most of them would land.
On top of those warships.
A wooden warship can easily catch fire if rockets fall on it.
However, above the lake, as long as the fire is not too big, it can be extinguished quickly.
Lu Lingqi's attack did not bring any actual results, and at most it only caused some trouble.
"Withdraw the troops!" Seeing Jiangdong's troops boarding the ship one after another, Cheng Pu immediately ordered the withdrawal. There was no point in staying any longer. Being trapped in Chao Lake would be the biggest threat.
Under the command of a group of Jiangdong generals, a ship formed a battle formation, quickly and orderly retreated from the shore of the lake, avoiding Lu Lingqi's pursuit, and quickly sailed towards the center of the lake.
Lu Lingqi rode her horse to the shore, looked at the Jiangdong Army ships going away, and snorted coldly: "Where are the Qiao sisters?"
"General, they have followed Mr. Ziyang to the lower reaches of Chaohu Lake." The soldier in charge of delivering the message came to Lu Lingqi's side and bowed.
After this battle, Lu Lingqi's reputation was so great that no one would look down upon her because she was a female. The officers and soldiers in the army looked at Lu Lingqi with nothing but admiration.
"Continue to pursue!" After Lu Lingqi looked at the opponent for a moment, she led the soldiers to continue the pursuit. They fired at Jiangdong's army along the lakeshore to buy time for the Qiao sisters to freeze the river...
