Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Zhou Yu led an army to the Yangtze River near Liyang, just in time to encounter the defeated Wu Guoshui army.

"Zhou Tiao, Shi Gan, you two lead ten boats and block Gan Ning's big boat for me."

"promise!"

Then Zhou Yu asked his lieutenant to clean up the remnants, and now he had to plan carefully.

Sun Ben said dejectedly; "The enemy's ships are far more numerous than ours, and my warships can't stop them at all."

Zhou Yu waved his hand to signal Sun Ben not to speak any more.

His own warships did not have an advantage, and his ability to resist them depended entirely on the number of small boats. Once Gan Ning's big boats rushed in, he would send people to attack them with fireboats.

Although Gan Ning's large ships, throwing stones and bed crossbows are domineering, the interval between attacks is relatively long. As long as his own large ships are not within his range, Gan Ning can only attack small ships.

"Sun Ben, you lead ten large ships and a hundred warships to Wuhu immediately. After our army has retreated to Spring Valley, you lead the fleet to fight out from behind Gan Ning."

"promise!"

After Sun Ben left, Zhou Yu asked Zhou Tiao and Shi Gan to resist for a while, and then led the army to retreat.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Gan Ning couldn't help frowning as he looked at the back of Zhou Yu's big boat.

He looked at Lu Jun and asked, "Lu Jun, is Zhou Yu running too fast?"

Lu Jun thought for a while and said, "Since the Hengjiang iron chain on the Yangtze River was destroyed, Zhou Yu's navy has been retreating. We fought and stopped, and fought from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Liyang. His navy suffered heavy losses. It is necessary to retreat. Unavoidable."

Gan Ning asked, "Then shall we pursue Zhou Yu now, or go ashore to assist Tai Shici in attacking Shicheng and Danyang?"

After Gan Ning's reminder, Lu Jun suddenly realized a problem. Sun Ce led the army to fight His Majesty in Liyang. If Zhou Yu retreated to the south of Zhongjiang, wouldn't Sun Ce be alone?

Zhou Yu would be so stupid as to ignore Sun Ce's safety?
Lu Jun looked worried and said: "Zhou Yu's retreat is too strange, our army is not easy to catch up, how about this, Li Yang's guard general Li Zheng has [-] troops, why don't we take Zhou Yu's retreat and take them to the Yangtze River South Shore."

Gan Ning thought for a while, and felt that what Lu Jun said made sense, their navy only had more than 5 people, and it was not appropriate to divide their troops to assist in the war in Danyang County, but they could help the army in Jiangbei transport soldiers.

"Ling Cao, Jiang Qin, you two lead five empty boats to take over Li Zheng's army."

"promise!"

After Li Zheng's army crossed the Yangtze River, according to Lu Jun's request, he was asked to move with the fleet. Li Zheng was responsible for attacking cities and land on the shore, and they followed behind slowly.

When Li Zheng came to the city of Wuhu, he saw that the flag on the top of the city belonged to his own side, so he quickly sent someone to ask which general went to Wuhu.

Zhang Liao heard that Li Zheng led an army across the Yangtze River, and quickly led a thousand cavalry out of the city.

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "It's really unexpected that General Li came here."

He thought that after Li Zheng crossed the river, he would go to help Tai Shici attack Moling, but he did not take the usual route, detoured behind Moling, attacked Shicheng and Danyang counties, and then went all the way south.

Li Zheng asked, "Where is Your Majesty?"

"His Majesty's army is stationed on the bank of Lengshui to the east of Wanling, across the river from Sun Ce's Wanling."

"Shall we cross the river now to support the Lord?"

Zhang Liao said: "General Li, my lord asks you to send five thousand troops to take over Liyang's defense."

Receive Liyang's defense?
He left 3 troops in Shicheng and Danyang each, and now he only has more than [-] troops. If he divides his troops, what attack power does his army have?

Li Zheng said angrily: "General Zhang is not lying to me, is it because you are afraid that I will take the credit and you deliberately dismiss my army?"

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "5000 troops, is not a drop in the bucket for you? If you care, I can make you a lieutenant general."

Zhang Liao also knew that Cao Cao's generals had relatively low meritorious service, and he had no intention of competing with Li Zheng for credit.

Then he walked to Li Zheng's side and said in a low voice: "Tai Shici's army will soon break through Moling City. At that time, he will definitely go south. The general can inform his subordinates that when Tai Shici's army arrives, he will directly abandon it." Go out of the city and round up with the general."

"This south is Tai Shici's battlefield. We are just assisting and defending the city. I am sure he is the most suitable."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Li Zheng said, "I didn't expect General Zhang to be as resourceful as Jia Wenhe!"

Zhang Liao rolled his eyes, why does this sound like a curse?

Immediately, Li Zheng sent [-] soldiers to Liyang, and then left [-] soldiers to guard Wuhu, intending to lead the army to go south with Zhang Liao.

"Report, in Zhongjiang, [-] miles west of Wuhu, Wu army warships were found, and there were hundreds of them."

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where is Gan Ning's army?"

Li Zheng replied: "Gan Ning has been following us. He should have passed Dangtu by now and is heading towards the intersection of the Yangtze River and Zhongjiang River."

"not good!"

Zhang Liao said in horror: "The other party wants to ambush our navy."

Li Zheng also understood, and hurriedly dispatched several soldiers to inform Gan Ning, and then suggested: "We need to cross the river as soon as possible, and then capture Spring Valley as quickly as possible, forcing Zhou Yu's navy to go ashore."

Chungu is an important town to the west of Wanling. If Chungu falls, Wanling's route to the west will be cut off. For Sun Ce's safety, Zhou Yu will definitely go ashore to entangle them, and then send someone to inform Sun Ce.

However, Li Zheng was still one step too late. Gan Ning's army had already entered the fork in the fork. He received Li Zheng's warning and was about to retreat when Zhou Yu and Sun Ben led the navy to kill him.

Lu Jun looked at Gan Ning and asked, "Xingba, shall we break through the encirclement, or fight head-on with each other?"

If you break through now, you can easily rush out, and you may only need to lose some small boats.

Gan Ning said coldly: "What's the point of breaking through? Such a good opportunity. Wu's navy is not much left. We can defeat them in one battle."

Seeing Gan Ning's strong will to fight, Lu Jun gave up his plan to retreat. He looked at Ling Cao, and Jiang Qin said, "The two generals lead the rear army to meet the ambush soldiers coming from the east."

"promise!"

Gan Ning, Lu Jun, and Dong Xi led the front army towards Zhou Yu's navy.

Gan Ning said: "Longjun, you command the big ship. Dong Xi and I will lead the big ship to fight Zhou Yu!"

Lu Jun ordered: "The trebuchets and bed crossbows are designed to attack the opponent's big ships, and the small boats will not be hit at all."

"Fire arrows!"

Gan Ning gave an order, and the soldiers on the building boat shot towards Zhou Yu's warship.

The naval forces of both sides fought a decisive battle on the great river. The strength of the two sides was almost the same. Whoever wins this battle will be the overlord of the Yangtze River.
