Chapter 965

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Ding Feng was the main general of this operation. After Xu Sheng lit the fire in the Chaisang warehouse, General Ding Feng led a thousand troops to raid Chaisang in the chaos and completely destroyed the Han army's logistics base. Once the Chaisang base was destroyed, the Han army would have to end the Hefei battle ahead of schedule and evacuate Hefei.

This is Cao Cao's plan to remove the fire from the bottom of the pot. The benefits are high, and of course the risks are also high. Qianjiangdong soldiers fought alone and if they were not careful, they would wipe out the entire army.

It is precisely for this reason that Ding Feng was cautious and led his army to station in the depths of the water and did not show up easily. This time, he led his army to show up because the collection of fifteen cargo ships was completed.

Ding Feng heard that Xu Sheng had sneaked into Chaisang first, and he was stunned. In this case, who would lead fifteen cargo ships to Chaisang Xu Sheng should give him an explanation.

Ding Feng was puzzled. He quickly walked to the last big ship. At this time, a soldier with the ship had already got off the ship. Ding Feng recognized that he was Xu Sheng's personal soldier and asked, "What's going on with General Xu?"

The personal soldiers stepped forward and bowed, took out a letter and submitted it, "This is the letter from my general to General Ding."

Ding Feng took the letter and asked, "I want to know first, what happened?"

The personal soldiers looked at both sides and whispered: "We have a great opportunity. The Han army urgently needed tinder oil and ordered a fleet to go to Chaisang to collect tinder oil. This fleet has a special pass token and can directly enter the tinder oil depot of the inner port. My general replaced one of the large ships and led the brothers directly to Chaisang."

The turbulent oil depot is located in the southeast corner of the warehouse group, with 5,000 troops guarding it, and is secured. Unlike other food, grass and soldiers, turbulent oil is generally not transported to the outer port terminal, but is directly loaded at the inner port for shipment.

The turmeric oil depot is their target. They must get a lot of turmeric oil to burn the entire warehouse group.

Ding Feng nodded. This was indeed a good opportunity. No wonder Xu Sheng gave up his original plan. He opened Xu Sheng's letter, which agreed that in the first update two days later, both sides would take action at the same time. Xu Sheng burned the warehouse, while Ding Feng led his army out and entered the Chaisangku area.

Ding Feng glanced at the fifteen large ships. Although they gave up their original careful plan, these fifteen large ships could be used to transport his soldiers.

Ding Feng looked at the letter again. Two days later, there were two days left, and he needed to prepare well. Ding Feng immediately turned around and ordered: "Tell me my order and stay on the spot."

...........

Two days later, the night gradually enveloped Pengze Lake, and a bright moon rose from the lake, sparkling, and the deep blue sky and the blue lake water merged into one color.

Amid the waves and moonlight, a huge fleet was slowly sailing towards Pokou Town. At this time, half an hour was left before the first update. On the river surface of Pokou Town, fifteen large ships were accumulating momentum, and the Thousand Jiangdong Army had all boarded the ship, waiting for the orders issued.

Ding Feng stood at the bow of the first large ship and stared at the direction of Chaisang. It was not far from Chaisang, only more than fifty miles away. If a fire broke out in the Chaisang oil depot, they could clearly see it here.

Today, the wind is northeastern and has great resistance. If you sail all the way, it will take two hours to reach Chaisang. However, it will take at least two hours to get completely chaotic in the Chaisang warehouse, which means it will take at least two hours to get out again.

Ding Feng waited patiently for Chaisang's movement, but he felt a little uneasy. This uneasy came from the abandonment of the original plan and the adoption of a temporary plan. He could be said to have no idea about this temporary plan. His eyes were completely dark, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart naturally arose.

At this moment, a rocket appeared on the lake in front of him, shooting directly into the sky, which was particularly dazzling. Ding Feng was stunned. This was a warning signal. What happened ahead.

Soon, a small patrol boat rushed back. As soon as it approached the big ship, the soldiers on the boat shouted: "General, the situation is not good."

"What happened?" Ding Feng asked loudly on the side of the ship.

"There are more than one Han army warship on the lake in front of us, and they are coming to us."

Ding Feng was so shocked that his heart almost stopped beating. The Han warships actually came. He immediately realized that this was Xu Sheng's failure. Whether Xu Sheng betrayed them was. Ding Feng didn't know, but he knew that he had to retreat immediately.

"The fleet sets off to the south immediately"

Ding Feng shouted loudly, "Use the fastest evacuation"

Fifteen large ships slowly turned around and sailed south. Only by landing in Poyang County could they retreat to Jiangdong smoothly. Otherwise, they would be trapped in the swamp mud, even if they were not annihilated by the Han army, they would have cut off their food and perished.

But less than half a mile after the fifteen cargo ships sailed out, when a dense Han warship suddenly appeared in front of them, flowing down the south and rushing towards them.

The cargo ship in the front could not dodge, and the bow of the ship was dodged, but the hull was violently hit by the Han army warship. With a loud bang, the huge hull was hit into two sections.

The biggest difference between a cargo ship and a warship is that the hull is far less solid than that of a warship, and the front end of the warship is equipped with a pig iron hitting head. Under the violent impact, how can the cargo ship not fall apart?

The cargo ship broke, and all the soldiers from the two Jiangdong soldiers fell into the water. The water was in chaos. The soldiers were in horror. Fortunately, most of the soldiers in Jiangdong were good in water. After a panic, they swam to the shore one after another.

At this time, several Han warships had already entered the Poshui River from Pengze Lake and chased the Jiangdong Army from behind. There were pursuers behind and intercepted in front. More than ten large ships were left without even command. No one knew where the chief general Ding Feng was. After a stalemate for a moment, the Jiangdong soldiers on the ship raised their flags and surrendered.

As early as the first big ship was smashed and cracked, Ding Feng knew that the big thing was gone. He jumped onto a small boat and quietly left the Poshui River with more than a dozen followers. With the cover of the night, he sailed deep into the swamp.

Under the 10,000 Han troops and warships led by the chief general Gan Ning, all the soldiers of the Qianjiangdong Army became prisoners of war in the Han army. However, Gan Ning soon discovered that the enemy's chief general Ding Feng was not among the prisoners of war, and he escaped at some point.

Shortly after dawn, Gan Ning led his army to escort the Qianjiang East Army prisoners back to Chaisang. Gan Ning's warship had just approached the Chaisang Wharf, and a person was waving a letter and shouting: "General Gan, His Highness the King of Han urgently ordered it."

Gan Ning hurriedly got off the boat and took the letter and looked carefully. It was indeed an urgent letter written by King Liu Jing of Han. The letter asked him to burn several empty warehouses and create momentum, causing the illusion of a fire in the Chaisang Warehouse Area.

Gan Ning nodded. This was His Highness the King of Han who was trying to make plans. Although there were still many details to be discussed, the military order was as high as a mountain. He immediately ordered: "Let all generals and officers go to the big tent to discuss matters."

That night, dozens of warehouses in the northwest corner of the Chaisang Warehouse District suddenly ignited a fire, and the flames soared into the sky, and the thick smoke and fires soared for more than ten feet in the air, which was spectacular.

In the city of Chaisang more than ten miles away, the people in the city rushed to the top of the city and witnessed this spectacular scene with their own eyes. Many people were filled with worries. It was obviously the Han army warehouse group that caught fire. Chaisang was a major logistics site for the Han army, which would affect the war on the front line in Hefei.

But there were also people who were very excited. In the night, several carrier pigeons flew into the sky and spread their wings to the far east.

.........

Chaisang was raided by Jiangdong Army, and a major fire broke out in the warehouse. The news came out that the Han army could not hold on in Hefei. Liu Jing ordered the army to evacuate from Hefei. Chaohu Army Wharf was extremely busy. Huge warships were loaded with Han soldiers and began to evacuate south.

Liu Jing immediately stood on a high hill, staring at the Han army camp under the hill. Large tents were disappearing, and dense wooden fences were also pulled out to load on the ship. Teams of soldiers gathered on the dock and began to line up on the ship.

In a huge sand pit in the distance, deep red flames kept rising into the air, mixed with the black smoke. It was the Han army burning all the supplies that could not be taken away, the damaged ladder, the undisassembled nest truck, and the dead soldiers who lived in the camp and their supplies. Several soldiers kept throwing buckets of turbulent into the pit with thick smoke, making the flames even more fierce.

No matter who sees all this, he will be determined that the Han army is about to evacuate Hefei. The battle of Hefei that has been confronted for nearly half a year has ended. The Han army left so resolutely without a trace of nostalgia.

At this time, Fa Zheng whispered to Liu Jing: "Although Your Highness uses a plan to evacuate, Cao's army may not be deceived. Zhang Liao is quite wise and Cheng Yu has to check on it. Even if Cao Pi wants to pursue it, it will not be possible. Will it be more cost-effective if we do this?"

Liu Jing knew that Fa Zheng's tactics were good, but he lacked some power and strategy. The most powerful strategy was Jia Xu. Liu Jing had only a little bit of Jia Xu's appearance, but unfortunately Jia Xu did not come this time.

Liu Jing smiled faintly and said, "If it were just to attract Cao's army to pursue me, I wouldn't have to go through such a big deal, let alone burn the fifty empty warehouses of Chaisang. Besides, we are running water, how can Cao's army pursue me?"
