Not only Taishi Ci's face changed, but also the generals of the Wu army such as He Qi and Sun Ce, as well as 20,000 Wu soldiers, were all changed in color.

The distance was close enough that they finally saw the new look of the Wei army's iron lock formation.

Today's Wei army warships have undergone great changes. The outer layer of all ships is coated with a thick layer of wet mud. The Wei soldiers on the ship are still pouring water on the mud to ensure that the mud remains wet.

Taishici was originally planning to use fire attack to burn the Wei army's warship, but unexpectedly, the warship had already coated a layer of wet mud "armor". How could he ignite the Wei ship in this way?

"It's hateful. It turns out that the pottery thief had expected that we would use fire to attack, so he actually prepared early?" Taishi Ci was shocked and angry, gritted his teeth, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

On the iron lock formation, Ma Yuan smiled.

He was proficient in water wars. As early as the pottery merchant Zhang Liang calculated that the Wu army would use fire attacks, he had already thought of this way to restrain fire attacks.

Today, I didn’t expect that Wu Jun really came to attack with fire, which was simply a humiliation.

"Taishici, I want to see how you play with fire..." Looking at the enemy rushing towards him, Ma Yuan did not have any fear and looked at the enemy with a sneer.

At this time, the Wu army's warship could no longer hold back and soon collided with the Wei army's warship.

Under normal circumstances, Taishici should order the entire army to rush onto the Wei ship and set fire to the ship, but at this time, he lost his composure and did not issue any orders.

The Wei army was ready, but he could not let go of this fire. He boarded the ship and fought forcibly. The shock of the Pojun Crossbow Camp was not yet exhausted. Although his soldiers were equipped with large shields today, he did not have absolute confidence to be able to block the wild shooting of the Pojun Camp's heavy crossbow.

For a moment, Taishici fell into a dilemma.

Just as Taishici was hesitating, the sound of his army came from behind him. Several scout ships rushed over, shaking the letter flag, and ordered them to withdraw their troops.

"Can you say that the king's land confrontation was defeated first?" Taishi Ci's heart skipped a beat, and the shock on his face became even heavier.

Taishi Ci, who was in a state of uneasiness, had no choice but to give up the attack, obeyed Sun Ce's orders, and ordered the ships to retreat.

The Wu army, who was full of fighting spirit, could only be shocked at this moment, turn the bow of the ship quickly and flee downstream in shame.

Seeing that the Wu army retreated, Ma Yuan immediately realized that the land war of the pottery merchant on the land must have been won. He was extremely excited and shouted: "The king has been won. Brothers, please send off Wu Gou with our arrows!"

The order was passed down, and the soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty were in great spirits. The crossbowmen rushed to the head of the ship one after another. The sharp arrows were like a startled locust, and the Wu army was inclined to retreat.

Under the rain of arrows, the Wu people screamed one after another, all of them huddled under the ship wall, praying in horror that they would not be shot.

Behind him, in addition to the buzzing arrows, the sound of Wei Jun's deafening laughter echoed.

...

On that day, the confrontation between the two countries ended with a complete victory for the pottery merchant. Sun Ce lost nearly 10,000 troops and led the defeated soldiers to retreat to Pengze City downstream.

After the great victory, the pottery merchants naturally rewarded the three armies and rewarded the soldiers with all their wine and meat. The entire water and drought camps in Chaisang were immersed in the atmosphere of celebration.

For several days, the Wei army soldiers were immersed in celebration, and they kept drinking and meat every day.

However, while celebrating, Tao merchants were always paying attention to Sun Ce’s latest trends.

Soon, the Jinyi Nanwei writers scattered in the Wu Kingdom delivered the latest news of the Wu army like snowflakes to Chaisang Su Qin, and then handed it to his own hands.

The pottery originally thought that after Sun Ce had suffered this defeat, he would return it to Jianye and lick the wound.

In this way, he could retreat westward and first repel the Shu army that attacked Jiangling. Then, after the main infantry army ended, he would go east along the Yangtze River with an army of 100,000 to wipe out the Wu Kingdom.

This is the plan of the pottery, but obviously Sun Ce did not intend to cooperate with him.

The defeated Sun Ce not only did not choose to withdraw his troops, but also drew 5,000 troops from Zhou Yu from Hefei and rushed to Pengze for reinforcements.

Judging from Sun Ce's attitude, he seemed to have never given up until he took back Chaisang, and he planned to spend the rest of his life with him.

However, the Tao merchant also knew that Sun Ce had no choice but to do so.

The reason is very simple, it is that Chaisang is too important.

At present, the pottery merchant has a new role in Chaisang, and has not yet gained a firm foothold. If he wins the hearts of the pottery merchant, sits firmly, and removes the threat of Shu Kingdom in the west, he can attack his Wu Kingdom along the way.

Moreover, on the front line of Hefei, Le Yi's 20,000 Huainan Corps will also launch a double-sided attack on his Wu Kingdom.

In other words, the army used by Wei State to destroy Wu would reach as many as 150,000 to 160,000.

Even if Sun Ce pacified Shanyue and squeezed the national strength to the limit, he could only piece together seven or eight troops.

He was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. In terms of the navy, the Wei army's water combat capabilities seemed to be gradually catching up with the Wu army. Sun Ce knew very well that if he did not take back Chaisang, he would be in danger of overthrowing the country.

Therefore, he had to do his best to take back the important town of Chaisang before the Shu army retreated and the main infantry of the Tao merchants was still troubled by the epidemic and could not arrive in Chaisang.

Of course, the Tao merchant would not be afraid. He was ready to face Sun Sheng's dying blow again.

Moreover, he also has the secret weapon offered by Huang Yueying, who is being built in a hurry at night. He can only wait for the critical moment to enter the battlefield and give Sun Ce a fatal blow.

...

Pengze City, the Palace of King Wu.

The huge torch shone the entire hall as bright as daylight, and the fire shaking on everyone's face, just like their mood at this moment.

Taishici, Han Dang and other generals of the Wu Kingdom stood solemnly on both sides, with a little uneasiness on their faces.

The silence of death and a sense of defeatism were contagious among the people like a plague.

At this time, heavy footsteps sounded outside the hall. The generals looked at the sound, but saw Sun Ce with a gray face at the gate, strode into the hall with gloomy anger.

Taishici and others bowed to salute. When they bowed their heads, they didn't even dare to speak out, and they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

Chaisang's defeat deeply angered the arrogant King of Wu. Sun Ce was in anger at this moment, and everyone was afraid of provoking Sun Ce and was angry.

Now seeing Sun Ce coming with a cold look on his face, how could Taishi Ci and other generals not feel secretly afraid, just because Sun Ce is not angry and punish them.

For a moment, Sun Ce sat high and looked around everyone, looking at him with no anger and mighty look on his face, as if he was guilty.

Taishi Ci hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I failed to attack the enemy's iron lock formation. Please sue the king."

His voluntary apology made Sun Ce's anger calm down, and he took a breath, bowed and said, "Let's get up, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. You can't blame me for defeat in this battle."

Taishi Ci secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he dared to stand up straight.

Bang!

Sun Ce's palm slapped the table hard, trembling again with the generals.

Looking at the generals, Sun Ce said gloomyly: "The Taoist thief is too bullying and defeating our army with tricks one after another. I have been completely angry with him. From now on, I will start to deal with him seriously. I hope you and others will also show their energy to prevent the Taoist thief and take back Chaisang. I will never withdraw my troops!"

Sun Ce's speech was full of anger and generosity. The originally uneasy generals at the stage were soon mobilized. The pride of the fluttering was rekindled, and the anger of revenge quickly grew in the lobby.

"Destroy the pottery thief and seize Chaisang!" In anger, Taishici was the first to wave his fist and roar to respond.

This roar quickly burned into a prairie fire like a spark.

"Destroy the pottery thief and seize Chaisang!"

"Destroy the pottery thief and seize Chaisang!"

At the bottom of the steps, Chen Wu, Han Dang, Zhou Tai and other generals of the Wu Kingdom were like crazy beasts, venting their anger in anger. The roar of revenge rushed to everyone's eardrums, trembling with buzzing in everyone's ears.

Sun Ce glanced at the generals who were in high spirits of fighting and nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, Sun Ce sent an order to order the troops to take a break and prepare to go back to Jiangxi again the next day.

This time, Sun Ce used Pang Tong's plan to adopt a steady and steady tactic, no longer attacking the Iron Lock Formation, or rushing his army to take the Chaisang City directly, but first breaking the water camp east of Chaisang City, gaining a foothold on the south bank, and then advancing steadily.

After ending this mobilization and reinvigorating the morale of the generals, Sun Ce just stepped back and went to the back house to rest.

As soon as I entered, I saw more than ten female soldiers in red, practicing in the palace. When they saw Sun Ce arrive, they all paid a visit.

"This girl is just disobedient..." Sun Ce frowned immediately, and he strode into the yard. He looked up and saw his sister Sun Shangxiang.

"Brother Wang, you are back." Sun Shangxiang saw Sun Ce, threw the big gun in his hand to the female soldier, and rushed up like a bird.

Sun Ce scolded with a stern face: "Shangxiang, what's wrong with you? I'm so brave that you dare not leave Jianye for your brother. You are so brave, but you dare to sneak to the front line!"

"Brother Wang, don't be angry." Sun Shangxiang stuck out her tongue and made a playful face, but explained seriously: "Actually, I came from Jianye openly. I didn't sneak out, don't blame me."

Sun Ce smiled helplessly, and knew that his sister, the princess, had been overly favored since childhood. Although the Jianye guards had their own king orders, how could she dare to stop her from leaving the city?

With the female soldiers present, Sun Ce couldn't help but curse her directly, so he shut down the female soldiers. After a while, only his brother and sister were left in the yard.

Sun Ce then showed his elegance as a brother and said with a stern face: "Shangxiang, you shouldn't be so bad this time. Peng Ze is in the front line. I'm fighting against the pottery thieves here. How can you let you make trouble? Be obedient and go back to Jianye quickly."

"What are you doing so fiercely..." Sun Shangxiang pouted and complained with a grievance: "I have come here from all the way, but I want to make some contribution to our Sun family, help you beat the Wei people, and kill that little pottery merchant thief."

Sun Shangxiang's words were both moved by Sun Ce, but also made her laugh and cry for her arrogance and ignorance.

"You, when can you change your arrogant personality?" Sun Ce tapped her forehead and sighed: "That pottery is a hero of a generation. Even if you dare to underestimate him, you dare to boast about killing him. Are you afraid of your tongue?"

Although Sun Ce hated Tao merchants to the core, Sun Ce also had a bit of heroic spirit. In addition to hating Tao merchants, he also had a bit of heroic desire to cherish each other.

Sun Shangxiang is different. Although she likes to play with swords and guns since she was a child, she is called "Bowing Waist" by the Wu people. She looks very domineering, but in fact she has no actual combat. She just thinks she is powerful.

She was used to being spoiled, and in Wu, she could be said to be "lawless" and no one dared to provoke her. Even if Taishi Ci saw her, she had to pretend that she was not an opponent, so she didn't know that the world was so strong that even the pottery merchant dared not take it seriously.

When Sun Ce was so afraid of Tao Shang, Sun Shangxiang raised a trace of disdain on his pretty face, pouted his mouth and snorted coldly: "Brother Wang is roaming Jiangdong, no one can defeat him. How can he be so brave? Why did he hear Brother Wang say that he is so afraid of the pottery thief? Could it be that he has suffered several defeats and is afraid of being beaten by him?"
