    Wasn't Huang Gai attacking Yan Liang with fire? Then why did this fire ship rush towards his own fleet?

    Sun Quan was immediately dumbfounded, and all the generals in the army were dumbfounded. The more than 30,000 Wu troops were also dumbfounded.

    There was a commotion throughout the Wu army.

    Lu Su, who was beside him, was the first to wake up and said anxiously: "My lord, it must be Yan Liang who defused General Huang's fire attack. Without further ado, my lord, please quickly order the interception of the fire ship. If it is hit by this fire ship,  It¡¯s not going to be good if you¡¯re in the middle of the battle.¡±

    Lu Su¡¯s words reminded Sun Quan like thunder.

    Sun Quan's face suddenly flashed with resentment and surprise. He could not figure out why, with Huang Gai's water warfare ability and commanding 20,000 elite naval troops, he was unable to attack the enemy camp.  He also let Yan Liang use it as a counterattack.

    Sun Quan didn't have time to be shocked and resentful. Dozens of fire ships were approaching quickly by taking advantage of the current. It wouldn't take long before they would crash into the fleet. At that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

    "Quickly pass the order, intercept the fire ships, and don't let one break into the fleet¡ª¡ª"

    Sun Quan didn't think much, he just ordered with a hoarse voice.

    On the top floor of the flagship, the flagman waved the command flag urgently. In the fleet formation at the front, dozens of walking boats and stern ships quickly flew out and rushed towards the fire ship.

    The Wu people are good at water warfare. Before the war started, they were also on guard against Yan Liang's fire attack down the river. Therefore, the fleet was also equipped with many fire-resistant ships equipped with poles and other tools to be on guard at all times.

    It¡¯s just that Wu Ren didn¡¯t expect that his fireship would suddenly change course and hit it, and it was still at such a close distance.  It was a little hasty to deal with it.

    Dozens of fire-resistant ships rushed to block the fire ship before it approached the fleet. They stretched out their poles one by one, trying to intercept the fast-moving fire ship.

    The Wu people's efforts paid off, and most of the fireships were stopped immediately. The Wu people then used hooks and poles to hang the fireships, and dragged these raging giants to both sides of the bank to drag them out.  An area that threatens one's own fleet.

    However.  The momentum of the fireships riding on the current was too strong. Even though the Wu people tried their best, several ships still slipped through the net.

    About three fireships passed through Wu Jun¡¯s interception net and crashed into the fleet with raging fire.

    When Sun Quan saw this, his expression changed immediately, and he urgently ordered the follow-up fire-resistant ships to dispatch to intercept the fire ships that crashed into the formation. At the same time, he also ordered each ship to adjust its hull.  Urgently avoid the approaching fire ship.

    There was a sudden panic among the entire Wu fleet.  Each ship turned around one after another for fear of being burned by the fire ship.

    In the process of avoiding, some ships did not pay attention and actually hit their own warships.

    The subsequent fire-resisting ships fought hard to block the two fire ships, but one of them still collided with a Wu ship that was unable to avoid it.

    Amidst the rumbling sound, the fighting ship that was traveling horizontally was hit in the middle.  Under the strong impact, several soldiers became unstable and fell into the river screaming.

    Once the fireship filled with kerosene touches the fighting ship, it will instantly ignite the ship. The fire will spread rapidly, and most of the ship will be burned in the blink of an eye.

    The terrified soldiers howled.  You and I scrambled to get to the other side of the boat, trying to escape.  The soldiers who failed to get on the boat screamed and jumped into the rolling river in order to escape.

    The most pitiful ones were the soldiers who couldn't escape and were swallowed up by the fire.  It turned into a burning man rolling around in the fire, and the screams were so piercing that it made people's hair stand on end.

    A battleship of Nuo Da turned into a sea of ??flames in the blink of an eye.

    The huge fire thing that lost control started to float downstream after spinning in place for a few times.

    At this time, several fire-resistant ships had arrived first. While rescuing the soldiers who fell into the water, they dragged the fire ship to the shore. This prevented the fire ship from spreading the fire to other warships in time.

    The fire ships were gradually brought under control, and the threat to the entire fleet was finally eliminated. The originally chaotic formation began to recover, and the panicked Wu soldiers gradually calmed down.

    Sun Quan on the flagship had a livid face.

    He frowned and watched his battleship being towed away. Hearing the lingering screams, his heart felt like a knife cutting through him.

    At this time, Sun Quan couldn't help but feel that his dignity had once again been humiliated by Yan Liang.

    Sun Quan was very angry. In his anger, he had the urge to march forward with his army and would not give up until the enemy camp was broken.

    At this time, Lu Su calmly advised: "My lord, it seems that Yan Liang is well prepared. TodayJapan's morale has been slightly depressed, and it is no longer appropriate to attack forcefully again. Why not temporarily withdraw the troops and restore morale? It will not be too late to attack again tomorrow.  "

    Lu Su's advice made Sun Quan calm down a little, and his excitement gradually subsided.

    "Our army has the advantage. Today's battle is just a tentative attack. Sooner or later, Yan Liang will be defeated, so why rush." ??Lu Su took advantage of the situation and advised.

    Sun Quan had completely calmed down by this time, and that confident look reappeared on his face.

    Lu Su's words made Sun Quan understand the current situation. Although Yan Liang, who was well prepared, tenaciously withstood the attack of his own army, the damage caused to him was only the loss of a fighting ship, and there was no substantial impact.  Loss.

    The 50,000 elite navy troops were still intact. Sun Quan was convinced that Yan Liang could withstand his attack once, but how could he withstand his attacks again and again.

    Thinking of this, Sun Quan snorted coldly, waved his hand and said: "Send an order to the entire army to withdraw troops for the time being. After a while, we can rest and recuperate before attacking with all our strength."

    Lu Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly passed on Sun Quan's order.

    The flag of the flagship began to wave, and more than a thousand Wu army warships received orders to retreat, including the vanguard army led by Huang Gai.

    At this time, Huang Gai breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the threat of the fire ship had been resolved, and was about to reorganize his formation and launch a third attack on Yan Jun's water camp.

    But Huang Gai's fighting spirit and the anger in his heart were extinguished by the waving command flag.

    "Now that we are determined to break through the enemy camp at all costs, why would my lord choose to retreat?" Huang Zhong said bitterly.

    Pan Zhang next to him sighed and persuaded: "The fire attack just now failed and our own warships were damaged. The morale of the army has been slightly dampened. It is reasonable for the lord to order the troops to withdraw. Old general, let's withdraw too."

    The two words "withdraw troops" cut through Huang Gai's angry heart like a knife.

    Just a few hours ago, Huang Gai vowed to avenge Han Dang. Unexpectedly, he tried many methods to no avail, but now he retreated without success.

    The vow of revenge could not be fulfilled. At this time, Huang Gai felt as if he had been slapped several times by Yan Liangtian's flawless defense. He was angry and annoyed.

    "It's a pity that the military orders are like a mountain. It's useless for Huang Gai to have soaring resentment. He can only grit his teeth and sigh secretly, helplessly ordering the ships to retreat.

    Hundreds of menacing Wu troops retreated sadly.

    On the shore and on the water, the tense nerves of tens of thousands of Yanjun soldiers were finally relaxed, and every young face could not help but reveal an excited smile.

    The officers and soldiers of the Yan Army who had driven back the enemy waved their weapons, cheered and cheered, and "sent off" the enemy who had to retreat despite the difficulties with wanton ridicule.

    On the river surface, which is more than ten miles around Fankou, the loud cheers of Yan Jun's soldiers echoed. Only when the retreating Wu people heard this, their already lost expressions became even more dejected.

    In the first confrontation, Yan Liang successfully repelled the Wu people, and he was naturally in a good mood.

    That night, Yan Liang killed chickens and sheep to reward the soldiers of the three armies.

    And Gan Ning, who blocked the Wu army's fireship, was the first general to succeed in today's battle. Yan Liang personally held a banquet to celebrate Gan Ning's achievements.

    While Yan Liang was celebrating with high spirits and high spirits, Sun Quan could only lick the bitter pill of defeat in the first battle.

    Sun Quan, who had retreated twenty miles, chose an open beachhead on the south bank and set up a land and water camp. He formed a diagonal north-south confrontation with Yan's army on the north bank, twenty miles upstream.

    Although Sun Quan was quite unhappy with the defeat, his self-confidence was not greatly affected.

    Sun Quan, who had completed his camp, was transporting grain and grass from downstream while seizing the time to restore morale and making intensive preparations to launch another large-scale attack.

    When Sun Quan was building up his morale and planning to attack again, he didn't know that a group of 7,000 cavalrymen was hurriedly walking on the Lukou trail.

    The weather in late summer and early autumn was still hot, and the seven thousand sweat-soaked soldiers were still rushing through the uneven river valley.

    At noon that day, seven thousand horsemen came to a "junction".

    The Lushui River continues to extend to the southeast until it disappears into the mountains and valleys. In the northeast, the valley leads directly to Yangtou Mountain in the north of Mufu Mountain. Crossing that mountain leads to  Chaisang south hinterland.

    Many of Wei Yan's soldiers had participated in two sneak attacks on Chaisang, and they were not familiar with the terrain here.

    Among these veterans?It seems that they just changed a general this time, but their goal is still to attack Chaisang and kick the Wu people's ass.

    They were mentally prepared to leave the Lushui River Valley and head north.

    Wei Yan was not in a hurry, but ordered the entire army to rest on the spot by the river.

    The seven thousand soldiers were finally able to take a breather. Some rushed to the river to drink water, while others hid in the shade of the trees on the bank to enjoy the cool weather.

    Wei Yan called a veteran from Changsha over, pointed to the north and asked, "Where does that road lead to?"

    The veteran wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Go back to the general, that road leads to the south of Chaisang."

    Wei Yan pointed his gaze to the east, "Climbing that mountain ridge, where does it lead to?"

    The veteran was stunned for a moment and replied: "Crossing that ridge is the boundary of Yuzhang County of the Wu people. A few miles down the mountain is Xiushui. Walking east along Xiushui, you will reach Ai County, the westernmost part of Yujun."

    "Aixian, well, it is indeed the same as what the lord said"

    Wei Yan nodded slightly, and a sneer gradually appeared in his eyes.

    Taking a deep breath, he looked eastward and said loudly: "Send the order. In half an hour, the entire army will set off eastward and take Ai County directly."

    Take Ai County directly!

    Hearing this order, the veteran's expression changed drastically, and he was immediately stunned.
