Lu Meng thought for a while and said, "Reporting to the Marquis of Wu, Bei Zhi also thought about this problem. Liu Jing's deepest impression on Bei Zhi was that he personally led his troops to sneak into Chaisang and took risks with him, which shows that this man is good at taking risks and doing dangerous chess. Moreover, he attacked the North City, but set up an ambush outside the South City. This man was thorough and strategic."

After pausing, he said frankly again: "But he released Huye again, and his motives made Huye confused."

Sun Quan nodded. He agreed with Lu Meng's point of view. As for Liu Jing letting Lu Meng go, he understood that Liu Jing did it for him to show it, which means that he did not close the door to reconciliation with Jiangdong.

Sun Quan admired Liu Jing's mind very much. War is war, but it will not make enemies because of war. Once the situation requires it, they still have the possibility of forming an alliance.

Since Liu Jing has such a broad mind, Sun Quan also needs to take this favor. In this battle, Liu Jing cannot be killed no matter what, he must be captured or let him go.

At this time, Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun again, and saw that he wanted to speak but stopped, he smiled and said, "What do Bo Yan have any ideas?"

Lu Meng's face immediately sank and snorted slightly. Although Lu Xun fought to break through the siege that night and was not punished by Sun Quan, Lu Meng knew in his heart that he was injured at that time and led his army to fight against Zhao Yun, winning a glimmer of hope for the brothers behind him.

But as a deputy general, Lu Xun should also fight against the enemy like himself, but Lu Xun killed a piece of blood and escaped first, so that none of the soldiers behind him could escape.

Although Lu Xun did not violate military rules and was not punished, Lu Meng was unwilling to say another word to him for those who despise him.

Lu Xun stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said, "I have something to report to the Marquis of Wu."

"Tell me"

"I discovered that Liu Jing seemed to have a special army, with a population of about about one, not afraid of arrows, and was very elite."

Sun Quan suddenly became interested and asked, "What army do you think it is?"

"After thinking carefully, this should be a heavy armored infantry. They were covered with steel heavy armor, so they were not afraid of arrows."

Sun Quan's face suddenly looked a little ugly. He was the king of a country. Of course, he knew how much it would cost to build such a heavy armored infantry. It was impossible to do it with the financial resources of Chaisang County alone. This only proves one fact that Liu Jing received the full support of the Tao family.

"Hmph" Sun Quan snorted heavily, and after taking down Chaisang, he would settle accounts with the Tao family one by one.

At this time, the fleet began to pass through the Fushui River mouth. Zhou Yu pointed to more than a dozen small boats parked at the estuary and said, "Did Wu Hou see that this is the Fushui River mouth. You can reach Xiazhi County after traveling more than twenty miles southwest along the estuary. If you continue to walk for another eighty miles, it will be Yangxin County. I have received information that Yangxin County still has a lot of material population and has not had time to withdraw from Chaisang."

This time, Zhou Yu did not persuade Sun Quan to attack the two counties, but his intention was very obvious, it depends on whether Sun Quan would let these two counties go.

Sun Quan looked at the mouth of the river with his hands behind his back. For a moment, he sneered, "Why didn't I purge these two counties?"

He resolutely turned around and ordered: "Where is General Han Yigong?"

A general over ten years old came out to pay tribute, "the last general is here"

This man has dark skin, sharp eyes, a tiger-backed and bear-bear-waisted waist, and his arms were particularly long. He was Han Dang, a famous general of Jiangdong. He followed Sun Jian to fight south and north and founded Jiangdong Jiye. He is now a general of the Central Army. This time he also followed Sun Quan to the west and made great contributions in the battle to capture Wuchang County.

Sun Guan immediately ordered: "I will give you five thousand soldiers, and march forward to Xiazhi County and Yangxin County, razed the two counties to the ground, and seized all the population and materials for me."

"The last one will obey the order"

Han stopped the big ship and ordered his troops. Sun Quan looked at the mouth of the river for a moment. His murderous aura gradually filled his chest. He turned around and shouted loudly: "The same thing, the first one to enter the city of Chaisang, reward 5,000 taels of gold. Those who captured Liu Jing alive will reward 10,000 taels of gold and promoted two levels of official position."

............

At noon, the Jiangdong army finally appeared in the sight of the defenders of Chaisang City. It was an extremely spectacular situation. The large ships covering the sky and the sun almost covered the entire river surface, and more than 2,000 warships appeared densely on the river surface.

More than 50,000 troops were just combat troops, and in fact, they also had to add 60,000 to 70,000 boatmen and civilians who mobilized before the expedition. Jiangdong almost devoted all his strength to this western expedition.

At this time, a horn came from the river surface, and the low horns resounded throughout the river. This was the order for the entire army to land. Large ships full of soldiers began to slowly approach the dock.

The Pier in Chaisang is about two miles long and can be moored by dozens of large ships at the same time. However, to the west of the pier, there is a forest that stretches for more than ten miles. The woods are only more than ten steps closest to the pier, with a muddy official road in the middle. To the north is the Yangtze River slapped the river bank.

At this time, more than a few soldiers lying in the woods had quietly appeared on the edge of the woods. They held bows and arrows in their hands and watched the large ships in Jiangdong approach the dock. Many people looked at the river. The usually light green river water turned black today. The river surface close to the dock was covered with a layer of black viscous objects. Many people were nervous. Can this kind of stone carbon oil burn?

The Jiangdong Army also discovered the black viscous liquid in the water. Large ships leaned on the dock and were immediately surrounded by this viscous black liquid. Many soldiers exclaimed, but most of this exclamation was a feeling of disgust, and no one felt that danger was coming.

Seeing more than twenty large ships approaching the dock, a low call came from the woods. Yu Ming soldiers lit the rockets in their hands and shot them at the Yangtze River. Yu rockets crossed the dock and shot into the Yangtze River. Although most of the rockets were extinguished in the water, several rockets still ignited the turbulent oil on the water.

With a bang, a flame ignited on the water surface, and the flame spread rapidly, forming a burning sea of ​​fire, accompanied by the rolling smoke. In an instant, more than 20 warships near the pier were all trapped in the sea of ​​fire.

The soldiers on the ship were immediately yelling in horror. Many ships tried to turn around and leave, but soon they started to burn, and the fire and smoke began to engulf the warships.

The sound of horns on the river stopped, and tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers from two thousand warships were watching this terrifying scene. A fire ignited on the river, gradually swallowing up more than twenty warships.

This thrilling situation shocked all the soldiers in Jiangdong held their breath and looked straight at the horrifying scene on the water. The river was actually burning.

Many soldiers knelt down, crawled on the deck and kowtowed, begging the Jiang God to calm their anger. This was beyond their perception. Except for understanding that the Jiang God was furious, they could not understand the burning of water, nor could they understand the coexistence of water and fire.

Sun Quan stood at the bow of the boat and stared at the scene in front of him, his eyes also filled with shock, and even a hint of timidity.

Of course he understood that this was not something that the Jiang God was angry. He saw the rocket shooting into the river with his own eyes. This must be the fire attack of the Jingzhou army, but what happened is that Sun Quan was extremely shocked by this. It could actually burn on the water, which was simply a weapon for water battle.

At this time, Zhou Tai stepped forward to salute, "Report to the Queen of Wu, maybe I can guess a little clue."

Sun Quan turned around and asked: "Speak what this is?"

"When I was young, I saw a black oil in Jingling County. It was very sticky and could float on the water surface and burn. The locals called it stone carbon oil. I just saw such a black thing on the water surface near the dock. I suspect it was this kind of thing. I heard that there was also Xiazhi County."

Everyone suddenly realized it, and Sun Quan asked anxiously: "There is this kind of stone-carbon oil in Jiangdong."

"I didn't pay attention to it, so I looked for it, maybe there were some."

Sun Quan was silent, his eyes turned to the dock again, and at this time his eyes showed a look of pain.

More than a dozen ships near the dock have been lit. Fortunately, almost all the big ships are burning, and most of them have sailed away from the sea of ​​fire. Several ships in the sea of ​​fire are unable to drive and begin to tilt and sink. The soldiers on the ship jumped off the big ship to survive. The fire on the water made the soldiers scream...

The defenders on the city were also silent, without cheering, and everyone was surprised in their hearts. Many people also knelt down and kowtowed heavily, full of pious gratitude to the god of Jiang for their protection.

When all the ships were forced to leave the dock, the city finally cheered. The soldiers were extremely excited. Liu Hu raised his arms and yelled, "The god of the river protects us, and we will win this battle."

"This battle will definitely win"

An excited shout erupted from the top of the city, and countless soldiers were swollen and their faces were flushed, and they raised their spears and shouted with all their strength. The morale of the Jingzhou army was burning fiercely at this moment.

...........

The war temporarily stopped, and the Jiangdong Army was no longer in a hurry to land. It was not because Sun Quan was afraid of tinder oil, but because of morale, the head-on attack encountered when landing at noon caused the morale of the Jiangdong Army to plummet, making Sun Quan worried.

"It must be made clear to all soldiers"

In the cabin, Sun Quan raised his tone and said to dozens of generals: "Let them know that this is not a Jiang Shen power, but a stone carbon oil, which is a kind of oil that can float on the water and burn at the same time, so don't be afraid."

At this time, Zhou Yu stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wu, I have an idea."

Sun Quan nodded, "Please say it, Gongjin."

"Since Jingling County and Xiazhi County have this kind of stone carbon oil, we might as well think of something. I have sent someone to Xiazhi County, and it should be possible to get it soon. I suggest..."

Before Zhou Yu finished speaking, a slight commotion came from the door. Zhou Tai walked in quickly with a pottery jar. He whispered excitedly: "Wu Hou, it's really stone carbon oil."

This is a can of crude oil obtained from Xiazhi County. Zhou Tai put it on the table. The generals immediately surrounded it and all of them stretched their necks and looked around.

Sun Quan stepped forward and sniffed it, then scooped out another spoon, allowing it to flow slowly from the air. The stone carbon oil was thin and long, sticky and thick, like honey slurry.

"Wuhou, this is the carbon oil I saw in Jingling County back then. Today, it is the black object that floats on the water surface to burn our warships."

Sun Quan nodded and asked Zhou Yu again, "Gongjin just said, what suggestions do you have?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Since the soldiers all think that the Jiang God is angry, why didn't Wu Hou summon the Jiang God once with this? I believe that the Jiang God has calmed down."
