    Chaisang City.

    In the lobby of the military mansion, Lu Suzheng was playing chess with Han Dang.

    On the chessboard, the black stones and the white stones are entangled and fighting. The black stones are gradually gaining the upper hand. The white stones are surrounded by a big dragon and cannot escape.

    Lu Su was as calm as water, as if he was sure of victory, while Han Dang's forehead was crowded with deep lines, and his face was full of hard thinking.

    After thinking hard for a long time, Han Dang sighed and threw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, causing a "crash" sound that disrupted the chess game.

    ??This is like giving up and admitting defeat.

    Lu Su smiled faintly, and while collecting the chess pieces, he said: "The old general's chess skills are much better than before. Come, let's play another game."

    Han Dang quickly waved his hand: "That's all, losing consecutive battles is really boring."

    "Repeated battles, repeated defeats, repeated defeats, repeated battles, only then will a hero show his perseverance." Lu Su began to preach Dali.

    Han Dang grinned and said, "This game of chess is very tiring and time-consuming. It's really boring. Zijing, how about we compete in martial arts and stretch our muscles?"

    "The general's martial arts are superb. How can he be his opponent? It's okay not to compete."

    Lu Su was honest and honest, saying that his skills were not as good as others, unlike Han Dang, who knew clearly that his chess skills were not good, but still wanted to ask Lu Su, a junior, for advice.

    Being rejected by Lu Su, Han Dang had no choice but to go to the hospital and pick up a steel knife to play with.

    Lu Su watched with great interest from the side. When Han Dang finished dancing with his sword skills, Lu Su cheered continuously and praised Han Dang for his strong strength and extraordinary martial arts skills.

    Han Dang stabbed the big knife on the ground and said bitterly: "Kanderun has been gone for a few days. I don't know when the lord will send troops. I can't bear it anymore and want to cut off Yan Liang's head with my own hands in order to avenge my Zong'er.  ¡±

    Han Dang always remembers the hatred of his dead son.

    "Yan Liang's naval force is his weakness after all. As long as the lord can advance westward with an overwhelming army and use his troops properly, even if he cannot kill Yan Liang for a while, he will be able to drive him out of the Yangtze River."

    Lu Su stroked his beard and spoke eloquently, with a calm expression.  He also showed some confidence.

    Han Dang was convinced and nodded heavily: "You are right. When my lord's army arrives, I will ask you to be the vanguard. I will definitely pacify Jingzhou and promote my reputation in the east of the Yangtze River."

    The two important ministers of Soochow, an old man and a young man, were full of confidence when talking about it.  He seemed to regard the Yangtze River as his own inland river and drove Yan Liang away.  Seizing Xiakou and Jiangling is a piece of cake.

    At this time.  General Zhang Cheng hurried in with a solemn look on his face.

    "Reporting to General Han and General Lu, our patrol boat on the river sent back an urgent message. Yan Jun's navy was found a hundred miles away from Chaisang, and it was rushing towards Chaisang."

    An astonishing statement.

    The two people who were discussing the Tao suddenly changed their expressions.

    Lu Su jumped up even more and asked in surprise: "How many soldiers and horses does Yan Jun have?"

    Zhang Chengdao: "Go back to the general. According to the waiter's estimate, Yan Jun has more than 400 warships. The number of enemy troops is at least about 7,000 or 8,000."

    Seven to eight thousand sailors!

    Lu Su's thinking changed rapidly and he counted with his fingers.  He immediately realized that this number was almost all of Yan Liang's navy.

    "How could Yan Jun's navy appear near Chaisang? What does this thief want to do?" Veteran Han Dang also asked in surprise.

    Lu Su was pacing with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, and he was lost in thought.

    After a moment, his body suddenly shook, as if he suddenly realized something, and his face was filled with indescribable surprise.

    "I understand, Yan Liang's previous show of weakness was not at all to attack Jingnan, but to take advantage of my unpreparedness and attack our Chaisang."

    As soon as these words came out, Han Dang and Zhang Cheng were both shocked.

    Even though Han Dang deeply hated Yan Liang and had always had disdain in his heart, he couldn't help but be shocked by Yan Liang's courage at this time.

    You must know that Chaisang is an important town in Soochow for many years. Not only is the city tall and thick, there are also several forts along both sides of the river west of Chaisang, forming a strict defense system.

    When Huang Zu was in charge of Jiangxia, he also took advantage of Chai Sang's lack of troops and led his army to attack several times, but was defeated in each case.

    Now Yan Liang wants to defeat Chaisang with only eight thousand naval troops. How can he not be shocked by his huge appetite.

    However, after only being shocked for a moment, the look of shock on Han Dang's face turned into sarcasm.

    "Yan Liang, the dog thief, thought that Chai Sang only had 10,000 sailors, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation. He didn't even consider how many jins he had. It's a good time, I just want to teach this arrogant man a lesson."

    Han Dang¡¯s desire for revenge suddenly arises,? Even if he decides to lead the navy into battle, he will annihilate the invading enemy.

    However, Lu Su advised: "Old general, please calm down. Chaisang is well-defended and there is no need to fear the enemy's attack. In Su's opinion, it is better to be cautious. It is better to hold on to Chaisang and wait for the lord's army to come for reinforcements before going out to fight."  "

    Hearing this, Han Dang's face suddenly darkened, "Yan Liang's dog thief's naval force does not have an advantage. If our army just hides and waits for reinforcements, wouldn't it damage our own morale and encourage that dog thief's arrogance? No.  , I must fight."

    Lu Su thought about it and realized that Han Dang's words seemed to be reasonable, but for some reason, he still felt that it was better to be cautious.

    After weighing the situation, Lu Su wanted to persuade him again, but Han Dang didn't give him a chance to speak. He picked up his weapon and walked away angrily, heading straight for the water village.

    Although Lu Su and Han Dang share the same name with Chaisang and have the same power, Han Dang is a veteran general of Yuangong in Soochow and has great prestige in the army.

    Now that Han Dang insisted on going to war, Lu Su could not stop him, so he had to tell Han Dang not to underestimate the enemy and to fight with caution.

    In the afternoon, five hundred large and small warships sailed out of Chaisang Water Village one after another. The ships quickly formed a formation on the river. The huge fleet, carrying more than 9,000 elite naval forces, sailed up the river and headed upstream.  Swing away.

    ¡­¡­

    Upstream, Gan Ning's navy flowed eastward, and by the time Wu's army set off, they had already approached Chaisang for more than fifty miles.

    According to the battle plan explained by Yan Liang in advance, the mission of Gan Ning's command was to lure the Wu navy out of Chaisang with a strong offensive posture.

    Therefore, after Gan Ning heard the news that Han Dang was leading his army to kill, he ordered the fleet to kill downstream at full speed.

    In the afternoon.  The two fleets met thirty miles west of Chaisang.

    There are more than 900 warships, and the endless shadows of their sails cover the sky and the sun.

    On the river, like two angry dragons, roaring and charging towards each other amidst the rumbling drums of war.

    Han Dang, who harbored the hatred of losing his son, did not hold back at all and immediately ordered the entire army to attack in full force.

    The huge building boat sits in the center.  Fighting ships filled with crossbowmen surrounded the two wings, and countless ships were flying around like swordfish. Taking advantage of the tall ships, the Wu people formed an iron wall-like formation and pushed against the river.

    A master of water warfare is a master of water warfare. Han Dang's fleet formation was impeccable, Gan Ning could tell at a glance.  Any tactics such as fire attacks will be ineffective, and the only thing left is to fight hard.

    On top of the fighting ship.  Gan Ning looked at the approaching enemy formation from afar.  There is a passion for hunting burning in my chest.

    Since the establishment of the Navy, we have won hundreds of battles, big and small, but the opponents we have encountered are nothing but the likes of Cai Mao and Huang Zu.

    Although these guys are quite good at water warfare, in Gan Ning's view, they are all just like chickens and dogs, and it is natural for them to win.

    The world.  The only person Gan Ning could regard as his true opponent was the Soochow Navy.

    Now.  Seeing the enemy that caught his eye, he came with murderous intent.  The fighting spirit in Gan Ning's heart had reached its peak without realizing it.

    If I don¡¯t fight against the Soochow navy, how can I truly show my reputation as Gan Ning!

    With his fighting spirit burning, Gan Ning pointed his iron halberd forward and shouted sternly: "Send the order, attack with the whole army, and fight to the death with the enemy -"

    The flags were waved, the rumbling war drums soared into the sky, and four hundred Yanjun warships rode the wind and waves and charged straight towards the menacing enemy.

    Eight thousand soldiers versus nine thousand enemy soldiers, four hundred battleships versus five hundred enemy ships.

    There are fewer fighting ships than the enemy, and there are no overlords on the river such as building ships. Gan Ning's navy is obviously at a disadvantage.

    But Gan Ning and his soldiers did not have the slightest fear. Such warriors who had fought many battles shouted to kill like a tide, and with the anger of a bloodbath and humiliation, they rushed forward without hesitation.

    The two fleets, like angry dragons, collided with each other and fought fiercely on the vast river.

    The Wu people have built ships, and their crossbowmen have the advantage of being in a commanding position. Gan Ning's navy has many ships and strong maneuverability, which is conducive to catching ships and fighting hand-to-hand.

    Both sides gave full play to their respective advantages, and more than 900 warships fought together. From afternoon to dusk, they fought until there were countless corpses floating on the river. The river was stained with blood and it was not difficult to distinguish the winner.

    ¡­¡­

    During the bloody battle ahead, the follow-up army commanded by Yan Liang had already set up camp twenty miles upstream.

    The mountains on both sides of the bank are getting steeper, making it difficult to march. The Yangtze River has become a bottleneck here, and Chaisang City is located at the eastern end of the bottleneck.

    Yan Liang could only station his troops here and send people to find out about the fighting ahead.

    He knew this was going to beIn this war of attrition, his small naval force is bound to be damaged in this battle.

    But Yan Liang knew better that in order to induce the Wu army to come out in full force, he must use blood to make this drama of luring the enemy absolutely realistic.

    In the evening, the scouts finally sent back information that the battle ahead was over, and there was no winner between the two sides.

    That hand-to-hand battle on the river lasted for half a day. At the end of the battle, both sides knew that they could not defeat the other. Seeing that it was getting late and they could no longer fight, they retreated with a tacit understanding.

    After this battle, Gan Ning lost more than 2,000 sailors, more than 100 warships, and even Gan Ning himself was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.

    As the sun set, Gan Ning and his exhausted fleet returned slowly. As they approached the water village, Yan Liang could see clearly that almost every warship was covered with arrows.

    Seeing this scene, Yan Liang couldn't help but secretly take a breath of air.

    Although he had not personally experienced the water battle, Yan Liang seemed to be able to imagine the brutality of the battle in his mind.

    The flagship docked, and the injured Gan Ning got off the ship with slow steps.

    Yan Liang came forward, supported Gan Ning, stroked his shoulders and said, "Xingba, you and the soldiers have worked hard in this battle."

    Gan Ning, bathed in blood, showed a faint smile on his withered lips, cupped his hands and said: "Ning Ning is lucky to have fulfilled his mission. Chai Sang's navy has come out in full force, and I have lured them out."

    Yan Liang nodded, affirming Gan Ning's achievements, and then asked people to quickly help Gan Ning back for treatment.

    Looking around the water village, the soldiers who had fought bloody battles got off the boats one after another, supporting each other towards the camp. Everyone's face was filled with a bit of happiness for the rest of the battle.

    Yan Liang cast his gaze to the south and thought to himself: "The navy officers have tried their best, Junyi, and the rest is up to you." (To be continued)
