Ruxukou was built in the 17th year of Jian'an and was located on the water mouth between two mountains, also known as Ruxuwu. From the 18th year of Jian'an to the present time of the Wei army heading south, Ruxukou, as a military important place that the two countries must fight for, has been subject to countless wars.

Not to mention Liu Chan, even the monarch and ministers of Wu State could not have imagined that the pride of Ruxukou would fall. In the minds of everyone, even if Wei State was so popular, it would be impossible to capture Ruxukou. [..com]

There are countless tall and thick shooting holes in Ruxuwu. How could it fall with enough troops to guard it? Besides, there is also the world-famous Jiangdong Navy to escort, which is simply impossible.

Wang Ji was invincible in the two Huai Rivers. From Zhuge Dan to Lu Kai, Ding Feng, and Zhu Yi, it was difficult to get the sweetness under the famous generals of the Wei State. However, it does not mean that Wang Ji's water battle and the Wei State's naval forces were enough to deal with the Jiangdong Navy and conquer a fortress like Ruxuwu.

Even when Wang Ji's army was approaching, he sent a partial army to attack Chaisang. After the Wu people had enough troops to ensure Ruxukou, they focused their attention on Chaisang. Lu Xi even led more than 40,000 Wu troops to rush to help day and night.

Compared with the 60,000 to 70,000 Wu troops in Ruxukou, even if there are more than 100,000 Wu troops in Chaisang, it is not as safe as Ruxukou.

It is precisely this mentality that caused the mistake and made the Wei army take advantage of the loopholes.

The warships of the Wei army had been transformed long ago, and Wang Jianren had long been thinking of annexing the Eastern Wu, so he had long been confident in the geographical and hydrology and response tactics of the Eastern Wu defense line.

After more than a month of confrontation, Wang Ji found out the arrangements and routines of the Jiangdong defenders, and at the same time confirmed what he was thinking, so he launched a general attack!

Even though the Jiangdong Navy was elite, the Wei State won more than one. Both the large ships and small ships were several times more than the Jiangdong Navy. The shipbuilding has never stopped since the Cao Cao period to Cao Huan today. The training of the navy has been passed down from generation to generation.

In addition, the rapid development of technology after Wei State's enlightenment, the offensive and defensive capabilities of large ships are no less than those of the Jiangdong Navy in terms of quality, and even more abundant and diversified attack methods. The Wei people have long understood the methods of the Jiangdong Navy. Except for the continuous increase in ships, the other methods and techniques have long remained unchanged at a certain stage in history.

On the contrary, the Wei people took out the methods for the first time, which was something that the Wu people had never seen. Wang Ji made a scheming calculation that this new type of warship was not activated in the previous battle, and it was not until the general attack that all armies were allowed to use it.

The Wu army and the Wei army fought fiercely on the water. Seeing that the Wei army was getting deeper and deeper, they were just excited. When the Wei army began to flee in all directions, the Wu army was even more happy, so they were relieved to pursue the Wei ship on the water. Who wouldn't want to do this business of knocking down the water dog? It's safe to make a profit or lose money.

Whether it is Pan Hu or Lou Xuan, they can be regarded as a temporary handsome man, but their quality and experience are far less than that of Wang Ji. Seeing that the Wei army had fought with the Wu army for a long time and was truly defeated, they felt relieved to let the navy chase him. However, they did not expect that Wang Ji had a few defeats in the Huai River for more than ten years. How could he be such a decisive battle?

The Jiangdong Navy also broke into pieces and chased them as the Wei people fled in scattered ways. What they didn't want to welcome were the Wei ships several times their own. Not only were the huge differences in quantity, the Wei ship had already used the catapults on the ship long distance.

Stones and fire bombs roared, and Wu Guoqi could not prevent death and injuries. Faced with stones and fire bombs falling from the sky, there was no good way to deal with them except for the subsequent remedy. It was also difficult to avoid the water surface. Then throwing stones was originally a range attack, so you could only observe the approximate range with your naked eyes and then adjust the position of your ship.

Helplessly, facing the Wei ship that was several times more powerful than himself, the Wu warship was thrown at most of the space within the range of the activity of the Wu Kingdom warship, and the dodging effect was very slim.

The Jiangdong navy, with weak troops, has to pay a price to charge forward. When the warships in front are damaged, they will always buy time and space for the warships in the back, but this is only suitable for the combat of a large number of ships.

The Jiangdong naval army, which was scattered because of the pursuit of Wei ships, faced attacks from all directions, whether they advanced or retreated. The large Wei ships threw them, while the small boats were cruising around and pouring oil to set fire, and they shot bows and arrows. The Wu people had no capital to rush hard, and they were sunk. The Wei naval army patted their butts and attacked the nearby Wu ships. It was almost impossible to kill and damage the Wei naval army.

The famous Jiangdong Navy was destroyed by the Wei army so easily, and Pan Hu, Lou Xuan and the Jiangdong soldiers were stunned.

Less than 20% of the Wu army were able to escape from the siege of the Wei navy, and most of them lost their combat capabilities with injuries. Some ships even had to escape from the Wei army's siege, but they sank the ship at the bottom of the water halfway. All of this was seen in the eyes of the generals of the Eastern Wu army, and after a deep shock, they were fear!

Without the protection of the navy, Ruxukou is like a baby leaving the cradle. The Wei army's throwing stone attack far exceeds the shooting range of Ruxukou, and can attack Ruxukou leisurely and uninterruptedly. Under this situation, Ruxukou is not captured by the Wei army, which is really amazing!

The loss of Ruxukou is of great significance, and the almost entire naval army arranged by the Wu Kingdom in front is even worse. Without water to check and balance the power of the Wei army, the large and small warships of the Wei army can rush into Wu without any scruples, capture various ports, and land in various places, which is simply unpredictable.

The capital of Wu State Jianye is even more in danger and is directly facing the impact of the main force of Wei State!

The news reached Xiangyang, and it had been five or six days since the incident happened. Liu Chan didn't know what was going on in Jiangdong at this moment, but he could imagine it.

"I didn't expect that the Wei people took the lead and I miscalculated it." Liu Chan was a little unhappy, but he was willing to admit that this step was indeed Sima Zhaoqi's first move.

Wen Li said: "The Wei army invaded the Three Wus in large numbers, and many of the backup plans may not be used. How should our army respond at this time? Please let Your Majesty make clear."

"Has anyone seen the new warships of Wei State?" Liu Chan asked with his head raised.

"According to the spies, the size of the warship is not out of order. It is just that the ship is equipped with a small catapult cart and throwing stones and fire bombs. The distance and power are amazing. The Jiangdong Navy was wiped out because of this." Wen Li, one of the leaders of Huleique, had a grasp of all the information on the battlefield and kept it in his mind.

Liu Chan pointed a little with some praise, thought for a while and asked, "If our warships fight against it, what is the chance of victory?"

Shu Han made great progress in all fields, and naturally he would not be willing to be the last in the shipbuilding industry. Liu Chan came from the world nearly two thousand years later. Although he could not help much in technology, his vision and insight were definitely unique. According to Liu Chan, after the understanding and design of Ma Jun and skilled craftsmen, Shu Han's new warships were amazingly powerful.

If there weren't a few tricks, Liu Chan would not dare to challenge Jiangdong. After all, once there was a deviation in this matter, it would be the end of the joint fight against Shu Kingdom between Wei and Wu Kingdom. Liu Chan was at least 70% sure, so he made this crucial decision.

"Compared with the ships designed by Your Majesty, although the Wei warships are innovative, they are useless. However, they are numerous and far above us. The outcome is still unknown when the battle begins." Wen Li said slowly after thinking.

Liu Chan thought about it and felt that Wen Li's analysis was reasonable. After all, there were a lot of warships in Wei State, and after entering the inland Jiangdong, he would get more warships from the Wu people's ship depot. In the future, the naval forces of the two countries fought, and no matter how powerful the ships on their side were, they could not resist the rush.

"Soldiers are important, not many! I will pass on my will to make Huang Chong and Luo Xian quickly capture Chaisang. I must rush to the Wei army before I personally recommend a army as its support!" Liu Chan said with a thought.

"Yes!" Wen Li bowed and turned away. Liu Chan looked at his increasingly old hands and sighed in his heart.

Wu Minister Lu Xi brought more than 40,000 Wu troops to travel day and night. As soon as he arrived in Chaisang, he heard the news that Ruxukou was captured by the Wei army and Jianye was in a hurry. The tea in his mouth almost choked the minister of the Wu State's regent to death. Before he could sit down, he took more than 40,000 Wu troops back to Jianye to help.

After some of the plans, Lu Chang, the guards of Chaisang, Tao Rui, Zhou Bing and Lu Chang were left behind to lead 30,000 naval troops to guard Chaisang. Another deputy naval commander, Wu Yan, led 15,000 infantry troops to station in Chaisang City and echoed each other.

Tao Rui led 45,000 infantrymen, and was responsible for escorting money, grain and supplies to Jianye after Lu Xi's Wu army. On the water and land, Zhou Bing led 50,000 naval troops to Jianye to guard the capital at full speed.

The original defenders of more than 100,000 were transferred at once, leaving more than 40,000 Wu troops, which were all uneven. For Chaisang's military important military location, if Jianye was lost, it would lose the meaning of existence here.

Wu was also nervous, and Sun Liang was helpless about the situation in front of him. Pan Hu and Lou Xuan returned in defeat and brought back more than 20,000 Wu soldiers, and only six or seven thousand left in the navy. In addition, Jianye's defenders had 20,000 troops, and the total strength was less than 50,000.

The troops were not as many as the opponent, and the generals were far behind. The Wei army was so anxious that the king and ministers of the Wu Kingdom were in chaos, without any calm demeanor, and even lost a determined heart.

"Pan Wenlong! You are the chief commander in front of you. You have lost all your troops for decades. How can you return with your face?" Minister Quan Shang was furious and pointed at Pan Hui and questioned.

Pan Hu knelt on the hall and said nothing. The responsibility for defeat was firmly placed on his head, which was a fact and a pity. You should know that Pan Hu had his own private soldiers, but he had no experience in combat. In this battlefield, Chu Ge was completely the result of the gathering of opinions from all forces within the Wu Dynasty court, and was not the best candidate to lead troops to fight.
