West of Chaisang.

In order to block the enemy coming from the west along the river, the State of Wu set up three water camps upstream of Chaisang, which had already been prepared for emergencies. The water camp here is the first water camp at the westernmost end of Chaisang.

At night, more than 6,000 Wu navy troops failed to capture 300 warships and retreated into the First Water Camp.

In this battle, Cheng Pu came with the idea of ​​winning and led the invincible naval army, but suffered the death and injuries of a thousand soldiers, and the damage of nearly fifty warships ended in no way.

Cheng Pu did not participate in the Battle of Chibi and did not experience major failures. Although the camp was lost in the previous battle of Hanjin, his navy retreated.

It can be said that Cheng Pu has not experienced so many losses from soldiers since he was in charge of the navy. This is the first time.

What made him even more humiliated was that more than a thousand soldiers were killed and injured, but he had not yet been able to defeat Ma Yuan, a hateful old enemy. Both sides fought fiercely for more than two hours, and in the end they could only retreat under the condition of their own injuries.

For a proud veteran like Yu Chengpu, if you can't fight with a character like Ma Yuan, it's like failure.

When he remembered that before leaving Chaisang, he proudly declared to Lu Su that he could easily annihilate the invading enemies in just one battle. He was so proud of the shame of Hanjin's defeat.

At present, this battle that was determined to win ended in this way, and Cheng Pu felt that he was disappointed.

"Ma Yuan, you pretend to be an ancient thief. If you fight again tomorrow, I will definitely kill you!" Cheng Pu cursed angrily as soon as he entered the tent.

The curtain was raised, and the general Dong Xi walked into the tent. Looking at Cheng Pu, who was full of anger, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid and didn't dare to say anything when he spoke.

"What's the situation in the thief army?" Cheng Pu temporarily suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.

Dong Xi then coughed a few times, bowed and said carefully: "Report to the old general, the enemy has retreated fifteen miles away, set up camp on the north bank, and met with more than 5,000 cavalrymen led by Tao Shang."

When they heard the existence of the "Tao Merchant", all the Wu generals in the tent changed color slightly, almost instinctively showing fear.

After all, they lost too badly in the Battle of Chibi. The pottery merchants caused a huge psychological shadow on them, and they couldn't help but tremble when they heard the name of the pottery merchants.

Seeing that the generals on both sides were so afraid of the Tao merchants, Cheng Pu became angry and stared at them and scolded: "The pottery thieves are just landscaping. So what if he has cavalry, can he dare to go into the water? You are all famous generals of my Great Wu. How could you be so afraid of the Tao thieves? Where is the military power of my Great Wu?"

When the left and right scolded Cheng Pu, they all bowed their heads and dared not speak.

Seeing that Cheng Pu's anger was a little relieved, Dong Xi said in a low voice: "General Cheng, I didn't expect that Ma Yuan was still capable in this battle and could actually draw with us. In this situation, should we withdraw our Chai for the time being..."

"Whoever dares to retreat and disrupt the morale of the army, I will deal with it with military law!" Cheng Pu shouted violently, interrupting Dong Xi's persuasion, scaring Dong Xi's whole body trembled, and he no longer dared to speak out.

Cheng Pu looked around the generals and said sternly: "My Great Wu Navy is invincible to the Yangtze River. Now the horse and dog thief has fewer naval troops than ours, and the warships are inferior to us, but they are tied with us. Don't you feel ashamed! If you don't defeat this thief, what's the reputation of our Great Wu Navy and where is our glory?"

Cheng Pu was not only angry, but also used honor to inspire the fighting spirit of the generals.

In the big tent, there were some generals who were depressed. The sense of honor in their hearts was immediately stimulated by Cheng Pu's anger, and the fighting spirit was ignited like a fire.

"Damn, the old general is right. If we don't kill Ma Yuan, where will we put our faces?" Dong Xi also ignited his blood and cursed.

The other generals gritted their teeth and cursed suddenly, and they all shouted to fight to the death with the Wei army.

Seeing that the generals were fighting spirit, Cheng Pu nodded with satisfaction, slapped the table, and said proudly: "This is like my man in Dawu. This time, we must annihilate his naval army before the main force of the pottery thieves invade. Let the pottery thieves fight with me tomorrow morning, so that the pottery thieves will know the true strength of our Dawu naval army!"

"I wish to fight to the death with the old general!"

"Kill the horse and dog thieves and show our army's power!"

"Revenge the bloody feud of the defeat of Red Cliff!"

The generals in the tent were angry for a moment, and the arrogant shouts of war rose one after another.

Cheng Pu gently stroked his white beard, and his old face was filled with slight pride, and he said coldly: "Tao Thief, if you want to invade me, Chaisang, I will let you know what it means to return home in a bad mood!"

...

In the southwest of Chaisang, a rugged and narrow mountain road with only two carriages in parallel, a light cavalry was moving forward in a hurry.

The five thousand soldiers were walking silently, and there was no noise except the horse's hooves and the sound of breathing, and it was as quiet as if the ghost soldiers from hell.

The big banner with the word "光" was blown by the mountain wind.

On the horse, Xiang Yu, in golden armor, was moving forward silently, but in his mind, he was thinking about a war that he was about to face.

In his mind, a cavalry ahead of him came to Juechen and went straight to Xiang Yu.

"Report to General, there are no Wu troops ambushing the area ahead. There are only more than a thousand defenders in Chaisang City. The rest were taken away by Cheng Pu and transferred upstream to fight with our naval forces." The scout reported.

"Okay!" Hearing this information, a hint of excitement quietly emerged from Xiang Yu's tired face, and he couldn't help but scream.

As Tao Shang explained in advance, Cheng Pu, who was arrogant and arrogant, had already transferred all the main forces of the defenders upstream to fight Ma Yuan, and was completely unprepared for him. Xiang Yu would take the remote path of Lukou and go around to the south of Chaisang.

All the development of the situation is within the control of the pottery.

"The king is really predicting things like a god..."

Xiang Yu secretly praised in his heart, his confidence increased, and he raised his gun and shouted: "Tell me the order and ordered the soldiers to speed up the marching. Before the sky is dark, you must kill me to Chaisang!"

The order was conveyed from the head of the team to the end of the team, and the Wei knights who had been rushing for two days and two nights immediately cheered up and whipped the horses and ran wildly.

When the last ray of setting sun is about to sink in front of the mountains, the road ahead becomes wider and wider, and the peaks on both sides show a downward trend, gradually turning from towering into inconspicuous hills.

Even the ears were gradually ringing, and the sound of the rivers was strong and the sound of Xiang Yu and his soldiers became more and more excited. They knew that the target city was coming soon.

Xiang Yu and his soldiers whipped the war horses under their crotch desperately, running wildly like the wind.

As the war horse under his crotch was neighing and jumping onto the hill, Xiang Yu's eyes suddenly became cheerful, and the rolling Yangtze River winded past his eyes like a jade belt.

Just on the south bank of the Yangtze River, that towering city suddenly came into view.

That is Chaisang City!

Behind Xiang Yu, five thousand light cavalry climbed the hills one after another, and covered the hills with black pressure, building an iron wall.

The tired soldiers were gasping for breath, sweeping away the outline of the city. In an instant, all the fatigue and hard work were gone in this moment, and the only thing left was the raging fighting spirit like a flaming flame.

"Chaisang City has finally arrived!" Xiang Yu wiped his forehead and sweated heavily, laughing wildly, and murderous aura rose up.

Looking back at the soldiers, Xiang Yu pointed at the King's spear in his hand and shouted: "The king has the words first. The first person to enter the Chaisang City will be rewarded with 500 gold. The soldiers of the Great Wei will follow the general's concerted efforts to flatten the Chaisang City!"

Amid the thunderous shouts, Xiang Yu rode his war horses like a golden lightning, breaking through the air and heading straight for Chaisang.

The reward of five hundred gold instantly burned out all the fatigue of the soldiers. Five thousand iron cavalry soldiers were ignited to the extreme, like a tiger coming out of the mountain, surging with Xiang Yu.

The iron hooves rolled, rolling towards Chaisang City like a mountain torrent, carrying the sky and the earth torn, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed to the south gate of Chaisang.

On the top of the city, the Wu army had no defense at all. It was not until the Wei army rushed to the front of the city that they realized that the line along the city was in a blink of an eye.

"Wei Army is the cavalry of the Wei Army!"

"Aren't the Wei army on the west river? How could it be killed from the south of the city?"

"No, the enemy is about to rush into the city."

"Close the city gate and close the city gate immediately!"

...

On the top of the city, there was a sound of gongs and the screams of soldiers, and in a blink of an eye, they were filled with noises.

The iron cavalry of the Great Wei Dynasty descended to earth like a heavenly soldier. In a blink of an eye, the morale of the Wu army collapsed. In a panic, the soldiers guarding the gate urgently closed the city gate, but they had no time to pull up the suspension bridge.

Taking advantage of the panic of the enemy, the cavalry led by Xiang Yu rushed to the edge of the city like a tide, like a tide.

Xiang Yu rushed over the suspension bridge, swept the golden spear and cut off the lock. The iron cavalry behind him rushed past and easily crossed the moat.

When he reached the city, Xiang Yu shouted: "The archer fired the arrow, and the dead soldiers in the city will rush to the top of the city."

The order was passed, and five thousand light cavalrymen immediately turned over and dismounted, and more than a thousand crossbowmen aimed at the top of the city to shoot arrows, and in a blink of an eye suppressed the counterattack of hundreds of enemy soldiers on the top of the city.

After the arrows were taken down, the remaining four thousand warriors untied the flying hooks on their horses. The sound of wind roared up, and thousands of iron hooks flew into the air and hung the city walls.

Accompanied by the sound of killing, nearly 5,000 Wei soldiers on the south side of the city of Chaisang, all of them were like monkeys, braved the flying stones and wood flying down the city, and crawled towards the city fearlessly.

Chaisang City is an important town in Eastern Wu, with a wall of several feet high. If such a strong city is properly guarded, even if the Wei army has excellent siege equipment, it will not be able to shake it, let alone such a simplest flying hook.

Unfortunately, Cheng Pu was trapped in a trap to lure the enemy, and all the main forces of the seven thousand were led out, leaving only two thousand defenders. Nearly half of them were still in the water camp outside the northern city, and there were only more than one thousand soldiers and horses left in the city.

At this moment, the number of Wu troops stationed on the Nanmen line was only more than 200.

How could only two hundred panicked soldiers resist the 5,000 Wei troops? This sudden climbing the city at the same time could not be defended at all.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than fifty Wei soldiers took the lead and ruthlessly cut at the panicked enemy.

The vanguard of dead soldiers climbed up, and the resistance of the other soldiers attacked the city was reduced sharply, and more and more soldiers climbed up to the top of the city. Soon, the more than 200 terrified Wu soldiers were submerged among thousands of soldiers of the Wei army.

The Wei soldiers who were killed on the front of the city were driven down the front of the city, and they also killed the defenders at the inner gate.

A "creaking" sound rang out, and the thick and closed gate of Chaisang City was finally slowly opened from the inside.

Xiang Yu was ecstatic, turned over and raised his gun and shouted: "The Iron Cavalry of the Great Wei Dynasty, follow the general to kill into Chaisang, kill all Wu Gou--"

With the loud shouts, Xiang Yu danced his golden spear, like golden lightning, and rushed into the city unstoppable.

Behind him, thousands of knights, with the craziness of fighting, rushed into the city of Chaisang like a tide, from the open city gate.

At the end of the South Gate, the Wu army's battle flag was chopped over with a knife, and the blood-stained battle flag of the Great Wei was raised proudly under the irradiation of residual blood. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
