Chapter 169
: Landing on the beach
On February 18, the 14th year of Qianyuan, Deng's Navy and the Yangtze River, 20,000 to 50,000, defeated the Wu Navy and gained control of the Yangtze River.
On February 20, 14th year of Qianyuan, Deng Jun, under the command of Zhou Yu, the navy commander, held a landing battle on the Chaisang Yangtze River section.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!" On the Yangtze River, the war drums shook the sky. Zhou Yu held a sword in his hand and looked at the defense of the Wu army on the shore. Three generals of the Deng army, Zhang Fei, Gao Siji, and Gan Ning, stood beside him.
"Who of you takes the lead first?" Zhou Yu said to the three generals beside him.
"Governor Zhou, let me, Lao Zhang, come first." Zhang Fei stood up first and said with a full sense of fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Okay, then General Zhang will take the lead and General Gao Siji will take the lead."
"Here!" Zhang Fei and Gao Siji took the order.
This section of the river defense was guarded by the Wu army general Ling Rong. When Deng's warship was discovered, Ling Rong notified the nearest Marley and Han Cong to come for reinforcements.
"General Ling, look at Deng Jun is still integrating the formation. Do you think we will lead the troops to charge?" Marley said to Ling Rong.
Ling Rong carefully observed Deng Jun and found that they were still integrating their formation on the shore. He killed one by himself and might have unexpected gains.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, General Ma and I will lead our troops to fight, and General Han will stay here to respond."
"Okay, General Ling, General Ma, please be careful. If you can't do anything, you should retreat immediately." Han Cong nodded and said, having no objection to rush to him, but he told Ling Rong and the others to be careful.
Ling Rong and Marley nodded, then lit up ten thousand soldiers and rushed out.
On the shore, Zhang Fei and Gao Siji were integrating the formation. This time, Zhou Yu brought 40,000 troops, and Zhang Fei's vanguard had 20,000 troops, but these 20,000 people had not yet fully arrived. At this time, Ling Rong and Mali led 10,000 Wu troops to kill.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei said to Gao Siji: "Old Gao, you are waiting for other brothers here to come up, and I will lead the troops to block the Wu army."
Gao Siji nodded and said, "Okay, then you should be careful."
"Kill!" Zhang Fei rushed over with a spear in his hand, and the two sides fought in a mess.
"Dang!" Zhang Fei was the first to come to Ling Rong. Zhang Fei was very strong. With one move, Ling Rong's tiger's mouth was shocked and hurt.
Ling Rong looked at Zhang Fei with a serious face. He knew that this person was much stronger than him.
Compared with Ling Rong's serious thoughts, Zhang Fei was much more relaxed. He looked at Ling Rong and said disdainfully: "You are just like this. Come and see if you can take me, Lao Zhang, a few moves." After that, he killed him with a spear. Ling Rong, who was not strong enough, could only deal with it in a mess.
When Mali, who was standing by, saw Ling Rong struggling to support Zhang Fei, he would die if he was not careful. He was shocked and quickly cut down several Deng army soldiers around him and killed Ling Rong and Zhang Fei in the direction where Ling Rong and Zhang Fei were.
With Marley's support, Ling Rong seemed much more relaxed, but even though the two joined forces, they were still beaten by Zhang Fei, and were full of dangers.
On the other side, all the Deng army finally came ashore. Han Cong, who was in the Wu army's position, saw that the Deng army's formation had been organized, quickly shouted: "General Ling, General Ma, Deng army reinforcements have arrived, retreat quickly."
In the fierce battle, Ling Rong heard Han Cong's shout and looked at each other. The two of them worked together to force Zhang Fei to retreat, then turned around and ran towards the position.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei refused to let go and directly led people to chase after him. Han Cong, who was in the Wu army, saw Zhang Fei chasing him, quickly ordered the arrow to be fired. Zhang Fei, who was suppressed by the arrow, had to stop, and Ling Rong and Marley also successfully retreated back to the position.
Zhang Fei was so anxious that he was led by the Wu army's bow and arrow that he took several steps in a row. At this time, Gao Siji came up with the sword and shield soldiers. With the blocking of the shield, he finally was not so embarrassed.
After Zhang Fei and Gao Siji joined forces, they rushed to the forefront with swords and shields, and advanced towards the Wu army's position step by step. Frightened by the strength of the general Deng army, Ling Rong and others did not dare to rush out rashly and could only order archers to shoot arrows to block the Deng army's progress. At the same time, they sent people to quickly invite Huan Heng and Zhu Jun to come for rescue.
When Deng's army forced into the position one hundred steps, the effect of bows and arrows became smaller and smaller, and Huan Heng and Zhu Jun were unable to reach it for a few hours, so Ling Rong made up his mind and led his troops to kill him. Seeing this, Mali smiled bitterly, so he discussed with Han Cong and left Han Cong to stay in the position, and he also led his troops to kill him.
The two armies fought hand-to-hand combat, and they were evenly matched at the beginning, but over time, the Wu army gradually became dissatisfied. Although the Wu army claimed to be invincible in the world, the Wu army's army was simply a mess, otherwise they would not have fought Jiujiang for so many years. Deng's army participated in the Central Plains War and fought with the powerful troops of Zhao, Wei, Han and other countries. In terms of combat power, they were far above the Wu army. In addition, Zhang Fei and Gao Siji were brave and brave. The fierce generals overpowered the Deng army's combat power instantly increased to a higher level.
Less than two hours after the war started, the Wu army could not support it. Under the strong attack of the Deng army, they retreated step by step. Han Cong in the position was anxious and Deng army was about to come. Huan Heng and Zhu Jun's reinforcements were probably still halfway, so they must not have time, so they gritted their teeth and took the last new force to kill. But don't misunderstand that he was not going out to fight, but planning to rescue Ling Rong and Mali and retreat.
Han Cong rushed for life, and finally rescued Ling Rong and Marley in the hands of Zhang Fei and Gao Siji, and then fought out a bloody path and retreated towards Chaisang.
But Zhang Fei and Gao Siji would not let them go so easily, and hurriedly led their troops to chase them.
Zhou Yu on the river witnessed the entire battle situation. Seeing that the Wu army was defeated, Zhang Fei and Gao Siji chased after him, worried that the Wu army would be ambushed, so he hurriedly said to Gan Ning: "General Gan, you should immediately lead troops to chase General Zhang and General Gao, remind them to be careful of ambushing."
"Here!" Gan Ning responded, then jumped out of the boat and led a team of troops to the shore.
After Gan Ning left, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "The overall situation is settled. Send the Clippers to notify General Yang and ask him to advance east quickly and will attack Chaisang."
"Here!"
Zhang Fei and Gao Siji chased and killed the Wu army for more than ten miles, and finally led their troops back under Gan Ning's persuasion.
When Zhang Fei and others came back, Zhou Yu had already brought all the troops to the shore. Seeing Zhang Fei back, he quickly ordered a large camp to be established based on the Wu army's position and wait for Yang Yanzhao's subsequent troops to arrive.
On the Wu army, Ling Rong and others ran all the way, but forgot to send someone to inform Huan Heng and Zhu Jun. The two of them didn't know that Ling Rong and others were defeated, so they foolishly brought people to support them. Then they met Zhou Yu and others directly and were defeated. Zhu Jun was directly killed by Zhang Fei, and Huan Heng fled in a panic with the remaining soldiers.
Yang Yanzhao, who was far away, also received the news that Zhou Yu had successfully landed on the beach. He was overjoyed and hurriedly brought the remaining troops down the river.
After Ling Rong and others fled back to Chaisang, they learned that the front line was defeated and Jiang Fang lost, Zhou Kai vomited a mouthful of blood again, but this time he did not faint and could reasonably send someone to inform Huan Heng and Zhu Jun to retreat. The general of the Wu army, Han Cong, was injured in many parts of his body because he fought to save Ling Rong and Mali. In addition, he ran all the way and lost serious blood. When he returned to Chaisang, he could no longer save him.
But it was already too late. Just as the messenger was about to leave the city, he encountered Huan Heng's defeated army.
When Zhou Kai learned that Huan Heng, Zhu Jun was defeated and Zhu Jun died in battle, he vomited another mouthful of blood. This time he really fainted and was unconscious. Even the military doctor could not wake up.
