The five warships were the attacking party, yet they were beaten back? One hundred thousand against two thousand! They were actually defeated?
Sun Ce frowned. This was the first battle. As the vanguard, they would only fight to the death and never retreat. "Whose troops are these?" Sun Ce said in a low voice as he looked at the row of officers on the ships.
Everyone lowered their heads. They knew that Sun Ce was angry. Sun Ce was able to conquer Jiangdong so quickly because of his bravery. A brave lord would never allow cowards to be his subordinates.
"Why is no one responding? Don't you know how to snatch credit? Now that you have been defeated, do you have no face to speak? " One hundred thousand against two thousand. Even a fool would know that this was a one-sided battle. Merits were easily obtained. Those who went early would naturally get a slice of the cake. Those who went late would not even get the soup.
Being the vanguard was an opportunity to eat meat. Everyone wanted to be the vanguard. Who would not want the credit? But now, not only did the vanguard not get the credit, but they were also defeated by two thousand soldiers.
"Lu Zijing, do you need me to tell you what kind of supervisor you are?" Sun Ce vented his anger on Lu Su.
"Milord! This, this! " Lu Su stood up and whispered a few words in Sun Ce's ear. The more Lu Su spoke, the gloomier Sun Ce's face became. It turned out that the vanguard troops were not part of any of his troops. They were part of the nobles.
Sun Ce did not need to do anything. Lu Su would have already taken the vanguard away. But now, this vanguard made things difficult for Lu Su. This was the Wu family's warship.
The Wu family! They were one of the biggest families in Jiangdong. If it was just one of the biggest families in Jiangdong, Lu Su would not put them in his eyes. His Lu family was also a noble family in Jiangdong. But this Wu family was the master of Jiangdong. Lu Su did not dare to make a move.
"The Wu Family!" Sun Ce frowned. If it was the Wu Family, it wouldn't be good for him to make a move.
This was because the Wu Family was where his mother, Wu Guotai, was from. When Sun Ce was young, his father, Sun Ce, had gone to war, so it was his mother who raised him single-handedly. Later on, when Sun Jian died, it was his mother who made Sun Ce stronger. His uncle, Wu Jing, was the one who helped Sun Ce when he was in his most desolate state. Now, he held an important position in Jiangdong.
Therefore, after Sun Ce obtained Jiangdong, the Wu family became more prominent than the Sun family.
The Wu Family had relied on their connections to persuade the other battle generals to give them face. Who would have thought that the first battle would turn out like this?
"Hmph! Let's not talk about this for now! " Sun Ce suppressed his killing intent. If it was the fault of these generals, Sun Ce would not kill them. However, he would definitely punish them or even remove them from their military positions.
"Jiang Qin, you will lead your troops to attack! I will give you half an hour. In half an hour, I want the army to set foot on Lujiang's land! "Sun Ce ordered one of the generals.
"Yes, Milord!" On the ship, if there was one person who had the biggest hatred for the Lvbu's Army, it would be Jiang Qin. Zhou Tai's death made Jiang Qin very angry. The meat patties that Liu Mang gave to Sun Ce were also kept by Jiang Qin. He wanted to take Zhou Tai's head and bury it together with the meat patties.
"Lvbu's Army?!" Jiang Qin's eyes were full of killing intent. He wanted the Lvbu's Army to be buried with Zhou Tai!
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Jiang Qin left the flagship and went back to his troops.
The Wu Clan's ships were filled with mourning. Some of these private soldiers were indeed the elites of landowning households that had been nurtured since they were young, but some were truly useless. They had been forcibly gathered from peasants and servants, and some were even here to gain military merit.
The empty space left by the Wu Clan's ship was suddenly filled by another group of soldiers. One after another, the ships were flying the flag of Jiang Qin. These were Jiang Qin's troops.
Jiang Qin did not have five ships side by side like the Wu Clan. The entire waterway could only allow five ships to pass through. If they really entered together, there would be no room for them to escape. They would only be shot down by the enemy's dense arrow rain.
Two turreted ships and twenty tu-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-away.
"Jiang Qin?!" Su Fei looked at the flag of the attacking troops and guessed that this was an old enemy. Every time the Jiangdong Navy attacked Jiangxia, Jiang Qin's figure would appear.
Su Fei had a general understanding of the Jiangdong Navy over the years. Zhou Yu, Zhou Gong Jin, could be said to be a genius. At a young age, he was able to strategize and win a battle from a thousand miles away. He could be said to be the strategist of the Jiangdong Army. He had a very accurate grasp of the overall situation.
Huang Gai was an old general of Jiangdong. He was Sun Jian, the general of the Sun family. Huang Gai was very experienced in leading his troops. He was very steady and did not have any major weaknesses that could be broken through. In addition, he had experienced hundreds of battles under his command. Fighting against Huang Gai was the most difficult thing to do.
Han Dang was also a veteran of Jiangdong. Just like Huang Gai, he was also a veteran of Jiangdong.
Taishi Ci was a wise general and also a valiant general. In the entire Jiangxia, only Gan Ning was able to fight against Taishi Ci. The other soldiers were simply not a match for Taishi Ci. When the generals saw Taishi Ci, they would immediately avoid him. Those two halberds were deadly weapons. Even if there were not ten of them, there were at least five of them that had died because of them. He was also Sun Ce's favorite general and had the style of a general.
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were killed by General Huang Zhong in Wancheng city. Only Jiang Qin was left. Originally, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were a fierce duo. They did not care about their own lives. They can tear a hole in your navy. Later on, the hole will get bigger and bigger until you are defeated. Even Gan Ning had a headache when facing them. How can you play with two people who do not care about their own lives? Play with your own life?
Zhou Tai was gone. The only flag left on the flagship was Jiang Qin. However, Su Fei did not dare to take it lightly.
Those who slack off will die. This was a principle that Su Fei had always followed.
"Whoosh!" The Bi 'an's speed was extremely fast. Dozens of Bi' an ships accelerated and directly arrived at the water camp.
Using Bi 'an? Su Fei was puzzled. Although Bi 'an's speed was fast, the water camp was very high. Because it was built in the water, it was higher than the average city wall. Using Bi' an to climb up?
"General, look at what they are carrying and tying!" The Vice General said while pointing at the Bi 'an that was close to the camp's gate.
"Tying?!" Su Fei looked at the direction the Vice General was pointing at. Indeed, they were tying things up. It turned out that the Bi 'an were not full, there were only three or four of them. They did not even bring weapons. The rest of the place was filled with straw. There were also some things that Su Fei could not see clearly, but he was sure that it was flammable like sulfur and saltpeter.
"He wants to burn down the camp?!" Su Fei knew what Jiang Qin wanted to do.
"Shoot, shoot those Jiangdong Army for me!" The Vice General roared.
"It's too late!" Su Fei said in a low voice. The soldiers on the wall heard the order and shot down arrows, but the effect was very low. They were too late. If Bi 'an was not close to the camp, he could still drive them out. But now, they were under the camp. From this angle, they could find some blind spots. After the rain of arrows, they could come out and continue to tie them up.
After a while, the camp was on fire.
"Jiang Qin, when did you learn how to scheme?!" Su Fei found that he had underestimated Jiang Qin.
As if in response to Su Fei's words, Jiang Qin's troops also started to move. The three ships were in front of them. They did not shoot like Wu Jia's private soldiers from a distance of a hundred Zhang. Instead, like Su Fei, they closed in to a distance of forty Zhang before raining arrows down. Su Fei's troops also madly shot arrows. The three ships simultaneously rushed into the water of the stronghold.
"Boom!" The collision began. The three ships began to crash into the outer gate of the navy camp. Su Fei did not pay attention and was shaken by the impact.
"The outer gate can no longer be defended!" The number of people on a ship was limited. However, if the ship was used as a transportation hub, it could be used as a transportation hub. The three ships in front slammed into the main camp. The ships spread out planks and prepared to land on the navy camp. The soldiers on the first ship quickly boarded the camp. The empty ships did not leave as it would be a waste of time. The ships behind also spread out planks, but they did not land on the main camp. Instead, they landed on the ships in front of them. One by one, Sun Ce's soldiers used the ships in front of them as transportation hubs to enter the navy camp.
Su Fei only had less than two thousand soldiers in his hand, so he could not defend the camp.
Su Fei did not expect that Jiang Qin would use such a trick. The gate of the camp was burned red, and the pillars were broken. The camp was hit by the ships, and a steady stream of Sun Cejun's soldiers rushed into the camp.
"Set the fire!" Su Fei closed his eyes and waved his hand to the Vice General.
"General!" The Vice General looked at Su Fei's state and nodded. Outside, Su Fei's army was already fighting with Sun Cejun's army. With only 1,800 soldiers, Su Fei's army would not be able to hold on for long. Now, they could only set the camp on fire.
They had already fought, but the difference between them and the enemy was too big. Even if the grandson of the God of War came back to life, it would be impossible to win such a battle.
The one thousand eight hundred people fought as they retreated. Su Feijun took out the flammable items that he had prepared beforehand, and the entire stronghold was immediately set ablaze.
"Let's go back to Wan Cheng!" Su Fei knew that it was impossible. Now it was time to leave. He must quickly tell Liu Mang about the destruction of the camp. Once the 100,000 soldiers landed, Wan Cheng would be in danger.
"Want to leave? Su Fei, where do you think you are going when you see your old friend? " A cold snort was heard from the flames. A burly general of Sun Ce's army rushed over with a group of people.
The general's sword was completely red. Many of Su Fei's soldiers died in his hands.
"Jiang Qin!" Su Fei looked at the man and said. Yes, this was Jiang Qin who wanted to avenge his brother Zhou Tai.
