Changing the flag on the city head means that the city has been lost. [High-quality update.]
Lu Su felt a sharp pain in his heart, and for a moment he had the illusion that he was about to suffocate.
He took a few deep breaths, tried his best to calm down his frightened mood, and still led more than 500 soldiers and horses on the river bank to Chaisang, trying to save the defeat.
When Lu Su rode his horse to the north gate of Chaisang, he was disappointed to find that the city was covered with enemy flags. This seemingly indestructible town was easily occupied by the enemy.
At this moment, the north gate opened wide, and countless enemy cavalry rushed out, heading towards the water village.
The enemy not only wants to seize Chaisang, but also captures the water stronghold. They want to kill them all.
How could a mere five hundred panic-stricken troops withstand the impact of such fierce cavalry? Lu Su immediately realized that if he hesitated any longer, his life would be at stake along with Chaisang City.
Where there is life, there is hope.
Such a thought suddenly flashed through Lu Su's mind. Facing the approaching enemy, he could only sigh in pain and turn back helplessly.
After rushing all the way back to the water village, Lu Su and his five hundred soldiers boarded the warship in a panic and hurriedly sailed away from the shore.
As soon as more than a dozen warships left, Yan Jun's cavalry rushed in wildly, their iron hooves reaching the waterfront, unstoppable, and killing the soldiers who had no time to board the ships like ants.
In an instant, this carefully built water stronghold, together with Chaisang City, was captured by the enemy.
The knights of the Yan army who reached the shore brandished their swords and guns and laughed and cursed at the Wu army who fled into the river, showing off their force.
The soldiers of Wu who had escaped were all frightened and dejected. Facing the enemy's display of power, they could only bear it silently.
"I didn't expect that Yan Liang's plan was so cunning, and even I was deceived. This important town of Chaisang has been lost like this, but how should I treat the master..."
Lu Su looked at the enemy and sighed. He felt a thousand kinds of shame and pain in his heart.
The situation is over, there is no use in blaming yourself anymore.
In desperation, Lu Su could only order the remaining people to flee downstream, and at the same time sent people upstream to notify Han Dang, telling him to lead his army to withdraw eastward immediately.
######
The sky was getting brighter. The morning glow pierced the river fog, and on the rolling river, two giant white dragons appeared again.
The Soochow Navy, commanded by Han Dang, approached from the lower reaches of the river in a show of force.
Upstream, Yan Liang did not show any weakness and ordered Gan Ning to lead his army to leave the camp to attack.
One day later, the two naval armies are about to fight again.
On the shore, Yan Liang rode on horseback on the rugged shore, followed by Ma Yunlu and more than a hundred soldiers.
The terrain on both sides of the Yangtze River in this section is difficult, not to mention the cavalry. Even the infantry is not conducive to deployment. Therefore, Yan Liang cannot use infantry to capture the enemy's water camp like he did in the previous battle to capture Hanjin.
The army could not move forward, so Yan Liang could only lead more than a hundred cavalry to walk along the coast to watch the upcoming naval battle.
In the previous battle, Gan Ning lost about one-third of his battleships, but the Wu army's lost battleships were quickly replenished. In this battle, the Wu army's huge advantage in battleships will be further expanded.
Yan Liang frowned and thought to himself: "This is another difficult battle, Xingba, you must be able to handle it for me."
While I was thinking, in the east, the ships of the Wu people had set up their sails, which was a prelude to the upcoming attack.
On the huge ship, Han Dang was standing with his sword in hand, a look of pride on his face.
Looking around at the huge warships on the left and right, it seemed as if they were almost unscathed. Although Chai Sang only had a naval force of 10,000, he had more than a hundred warships in reserve, which was enough to make up for the battle losses.
"Hmph, little Gan Ning, if you destroy one of my battleships, I will replace it with a tower ship. No matter how many battleships we have, I will destroy them all for you."
Han Dang looked at the "down-and-out" Yan Jun fleet from afar with pride and disdain in his heart.
The enemy fleet within sight had only a handful of battleships, and the rest were all small ships. With such a "poor" appearance, how could Han Dang not despise it.
The two armies were several miles apart and were already within combat range.
Han Dang slowly pulled out his sword and said with a sneer: "Send the order, the whole army is ready to attack, we must destroy the enemy in one battle today."
The long horn sounded, and the ships were ready to go. As soon as the flagship gave the order, they rushed forward at full speed and tore the enemy fleet into pieces.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Zhang Cheng suddenly exclaimed: "Old General, look, there's a fire in the direction of Chaisang."
Han Dang was startled, and looked back anxiously. Sure enough, he saw beacon smoke rising into the sky in the direction of Chai Sang, and the sound was extremely terrifying.
"Why did beacon smoke suddenly go off in Chaisang City?" Han Dang looked suspicious, but still remained calm.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a speeding boat approaching quickly and hurriedly approached the flagship of the tower ship.
Not long after, a panic-looking soldier climbed onto the deck and shouted in a trembling voice: "Old General, the Yan Army cavalry attacked Chaisang from the Lukou Trail. Now that the city has been lost, General Lu asked the old general to speed up the retreat of the entire army."
Downstream, don’t hesitate.”
Chaisang has been lost!
This news was like a thunderbolt, and everyone present was instantly dizzy.
When they set out this morning, they were still full of confidence and wanted to catch all Yan Liang's navy. However, when the battle was about to begin, they suddenly heard that their lair had been captured.
The Wu people's high fighting spirit collapsed in an instant.
Han Dang felt that he couldn't lift it up in one breath, his body swayed, and he almost lost his balance.
"Old General——"
Zhang Cheng was shocked and rushed forward to support Han Dang.
Han Dang, who was dizzy, took a few breaths and finally calmed down the surging blood.
Han Dang was holding himself up, but the arrogance on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by unprecedented anger.
"Yan Liang, thief, you actually, actually -"
Han Dang gritted his teeth with hatred, his chest filled with anger, but he couldn't curse.
Zhang Cheng said anxiously: "Old general, Chai Sang has been lost. This battle cannot be fought anymore. We must withdraw our troops to the east quickly and save this naval force."
Zhang Cheng's words were like a heavy punch, hitting Han Dang's chest again.
Although the Soochow veteran was filled with anger, he still maintained a trace of reason. Even though he wanted to fight Yan Liang to the death, he endured it in the end.
"That's all, Yan Liang, the thief. Let's put this account down for now. Sooner or later, I will make you pay with blood."
After Han Dang said something hateful, he had no choice but to order the entire army to retreat.
…
On the river bank, Yan Liang was observing the enemy's situation. A strange color suddenly flashed through his sharp-edged eyes.
Wu Jun's fleet suddenly moved.
Instead of sailing westward and approaching our fleet, the ship turned around and seemed to be showing signs of retreating before the battle.
Seeing this sign, Yan Liang jumped onto a high slope and looked towards Chaisang.
To the east, on the thin line of water and sky, against the backdrop of falling blue, three thick black beacon smokes soared into the sky, reaching into the sky.
Yan Liang's eyes were instantly filled with ecstasy, and he couldn't help but laugh loudly in his excitement.
Those three beacon smoke are exactly the secret codes agreed upon by Yan Liang and Zhang He in advance. The beacon smoke together means that Chai Sang has been broken.
The plan is done. How can Yan Liang not be ecstatic?
When the generals on the left and right saw their lord suddenly burst into laughter, they were all astonished.
"General, why are you laughing?"
Ma Yunlu looked curious. Now that she was in the army, it was inconvenient to address her as "husband", so she called Yan Liang "general" instead.
Yan Liang pointed his long sword at the river and sneered: "The Wu people are retreating right in front of us, how can I not laugh?"
Ma Yunlu and others raised their eyes and looked up the river. As they spoke, the Wu people turned the bow of the boat and retreated downstream inexplicably.
When Ma Yunlu and others saw this scene, everyone was shocked from ear to ear.
"The Wu people are in great momentum, and they suddenly withdraw their troops before the battle. Isn't this a taboo for military strategists? General, are the Wu people crazy?" Ma Yunlu exclaimed in surprise.
She didn't know the code of the beacon smoke, so she didn't know that the firewood had been broken, so she was so surprised.
However, Yan Liang didn't explain much. He just raised his head and said, "It's not that easy for this old guy Han Dang to run away. Quickly pass the order to Xing Ba and ask him to pursue him downstream. Don't let Wu Gou go easily."
When the order was passed, the herald waved his flag on the river and gave orders to his own fleet in the river.
Gan Ning on the battleship was still determined to die and planned to fight the Wu people to the death. However, he did not expect that at the critical moment before the battle, the Wu people actually retreated.
Surprised and suspicious, Gan Ning soon discovered the three beacon smoke rising into the sky downstream. Knowing the inside story, he immediately fell into ecstasy.
At this moment, another pursuit signal was sent from the river bank.
"Chaisang has been destroyed. No wonder Wu Dog ran away like a bereaved dog. Very good, I will give the drowned dog a good beating."
In excitement, Gan Ning's hunting intention burned in his chest, and he immediately waved his iron halberd and shouted loudly: "Pursue the whole army, kill all the Wu dogs, and avenge the brothers who died in the battle-"
"revenge--"
"revenge--"
The soldiers on the flagship roared in unison, and the roar spread quickly, and finally gathered into a sky-shattering anger, drowning out the sound of the roaring river, and sending birds flying on both sides of the river.
Amidst the roar, thousands of sails were raised, and the angry navy rushed forward like a dragon.
Watching his own fleet flying by, Yan Liang turned his horse's head and headed towards the camp. He wanted to mobilize all his troops and go straight to Chaisang.
The panicked Wu people desperately fled eastward along the current, and hundreds of warships had completely disrupted their formation.
Behind him, Gan Ning's navy was pursuing him. The sound of war drums and shouts of death only made the Wu people tremble with fear.
At this time, Han Dang had calmed down from the initial panic, and his old brows regained their stern look.
Although Chai Sang was lost, fortunately he got the news in time. As long as he retreated at full speed, Gan Ning behind him would not be able to catch up with him.
It was Yan Liang's cavalry who attacked Chaisang. Although these sneak attackers could control Chaisang City, they could not stop his navy from retreating on the river.
As long as we can successfully retreat downstream and wait until the lord's army arrives, Chaisang City can still be recovered.
Han Dang was thinking, and before he knew it, Chaisang City had come into view.
He couldn't bear to take another look at the fallen city, so he could only focus his gaze on the river, sighing secretly in his heart.
Looking far into the distance, Han Dang's eyes suddenly widened, a look of horror appeared on his old face, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead in the blink of an eye.
