    From each ship, arrows were fired at random, overwhelmingly.  The Wei army could not resist, and the soldiers were shot so hard that they ran away with their heads covered, causing many casualties.  I also saw large iron tiger ships riding the wind and waves, and suddenly collided with the Wei army ships, making loud noises like thundering. The sharp iron blades on the sides of the ships smashed and destroyed the Wei army ships one after another. All the soldiers who collided were killed on the spot.  Absolutely, bloody and screaming.

    Pan Zhang's face was cold. Seeing that his own fleet was being continuously broken through by Wu's fleet, he quickly ordered the two fleets to go to help in the battle.  Pan Zhang led the Chinese military ships and watched the river sail away quickly. "Please search Piaotian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster!"

    On the other side, Cao Cao, who was in the rear army, saw the Wu soldiers using their ships and weapons to gain momentum, and his expression changed continuously.  Cao Ren watched with keen eyes and eagerly tried to persuade Cao Cao.

    "Your Majesty, the warships are so sharp that our army cannot withstand them, and the Wu soldiers are good at water warfare. If the battle continues for a long time, our army will only suffer more casualties. It is better to withdraw our troops temporarily and make plans later!!"

    Just as Cao Ren finished speaking, there was a sudden loud beating of drums by the front army, and all three fleets suddenly rushed up to watch the Wu fleet encircle and kill them.  When Cao Ren saw this, his expression suddenly changed, and he was about to persuade Shi again.  When Cao Cao saw that his fleet was very large, he waved his hand and shouted sternly.

    "The ships from the front army have all arrived, and the soldiers are all hoping to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. How can I order the withdrawal just because of a temporary defeat? Doesn't this make the Wu people laugh at my cowardice!?"

    Cao Cao was not familiar with water warfare and thought it was like fighting on land, where he could be surrounded by a large number of people.  Cao Ren couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had no choice but to watch from the sidelines as the former fleet was repeatedly destroyed by Wu Bing's Iron Tiger fleet.  At this moment, Lu Su saw that his fleet had the upper hand and quickly ordered a massive attack.  I saw Ding Feng on the right and Ling Tong on the left driving their fleets straight into the Wei fleet.  Although the Wei army practiced water warfare, they were no match for the Soochow soldiers who were skilled in water warfare.  On the river, the warships were unable to stand for a long time. The iron tiger ships of the Wu army were extremely sharp. Only the three warships of Gan Ning, Ding Feng and Ling Tong were seen crossing the water. Thousands of arrows were fired, killing the Wei soldiers.  Screaming and falling everywhere.  Gan Ning led his troops to board the ship. The Wu soldiers were like fierce tigers and wolves. The Wei soldiers could not resist and suffered numerous casualties.

    ??On the river, the shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth, the river rolled, and countless Wei soldiers were killed and fell into the river.  Even so, the fleets of Wei soldiers continued to arrive, like moths flying into a flame, falling into a trap, causing more and more casualties.  The morale of the Wu soldiers was greatly shaken, and they fought wildly. The Wei soldiers were frightened by the killings, and most of the Jingzhou surrendered generals were killed by Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Ding Feng and other generals.  The two armies fought on the river from dawn to dusk, with an unknown number of casualties. All they could see was the blood-red color of the river, which was thrilling to watch.  Lu Su saw that although his army had gained a profit, it was afraid of being outnumbered.  At this time, Lu Xun, who was beside Lu Su, said quickly.

    "Grand Governor, although our officers and men are brave, they are all exhausted after fighting so far. The Wei soldiers are numerous and powerful, but fortunately they are not familiar with water warfare. We must withdraw our troops immediately and fight another day!!"

    Lu Su had already had this intention. After hearing what Lu Xun said, he quickly ordered the money to be paid and the ships to be stopped.  The golden horn sounded together.  Gan Ning killed the Wei soldiers scattered on the ship, immediately led the troops to retreat, boarded his own ship, and ordered the troops to retreat.  Wei Bing had been killed long ago and was so heartbroken that he dared to pursue him.  On the other side, Generals Ling Tong and Ding Feng also withdrew, and the three fleets all turned back and left.  When Cao Cao saw the rear army, he was furious and urged his army forward.  Pan Zhang hurriedly ordered his soldiers to beat the drums, but most of the soldiers in the front army were killed or injured. The soldiers were all disheartened and had no intention of fighting. No one dared to drive a boat to pursue him.  After a while, Wu Bing's fleet retreated one after another.  When Cao Cao saw this, he roared angrily, shouted to withdraw his troops, threw up his sleeves and left angrily.  Pan Zhang then led the defeated army back.

    Cao Cao gathered his troops at the mouth of the Sanjiang River and taught Cao Ren how to reorganize the soldiers. Then he called Pan Zhang to his tent and shouted harshly at him.

    "There are few soldiers in Soochow, but we have many soldiers, but we are defeated. It must be because you, Pan Wengui, are incompetent in fighting and don't care about your ears!"

    When Pan Zhang heard this, his face was shocked and he kowtowed in defeat.

    "Your Majesty, calm down!! It's not that the general is ineffective in fighting, it's actually that the Iron Tiger fleet of that army is extremely sharp. In addition, although our navy is well-trained, it is not as elite as the Soochow soldiers, so the defeat!! If your Majesty doesn't believe it,  As the last general said, the last general is willing to die to prove his ambition!"

    Pan Zhang¡¯s eyes twinkled, with a look of admiration on his face.  Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked at Pan Zhang coldly.  But soon Cao Cao started laughing again, and the change between joy and anger was very rapid.

    "Haha. How could I not know that Wen Gui was so loyal. But today, the formation suffered a lot of losses. Tens of thousands of soldiers died in the river, and there was no progress in the war. I am really unwilling to accept it, and I hope that Wen Gui will not care about it.  !¡±

    Pan Zhang¡¯s expression condensed and he bowed quickly.

    "The general is deeply favored by His Majesty, so how dare he be so presumptuous. But the warships and weapons are sharp. If our army wants to fight against them, we need to find another good strategy."

    Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded slightly, his eyes as fine as if they could swallow the sky, bursting with light, and asked in a concentrated voice.

    "I wonder if Wen Gui has a plan?"

    Pan Zhang's face darkened and he shook his head."The general is incompetent. The Iron Tiger fleet is an elite fleet built by Soochow with a lot of money. Ordinary ships are by no means its opponents. But if you want to build big ships to fight, it will be extremely time-consuming."

    After hearing this, Cao Cao's face turned cold, he waved his hand and said coldly.

    "That's how it is. Just withdraw first."

    Pan Zhang accepted the order and resigned.  After a while, Cao Ren came to see him.  Cao Cao's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he seemed to be filled with anger.  Cao Ren's expression condensed and he cupped his hands.

    ¡°Your Majesty, I don¡¯t think Pan Wengui can be trusted, and we need to be more careful.¡±

    "Oh? What do you think Zixiao said!?"

    Hearing this, Cao Cao seemed to be thoughtful, his eyes shot out two cold lights, and he asked in a deep voice.

    "Pan Wengui was an old general of Soochow. Didn't he know that the Iron Tiger fleet was powerful? But today, he was the former commander of the army, but he did not know how to avoid his edge. He marched in large numbers and urged the army to attack, resulting in a lot of soldiers and countless losses.  More than 10,000 people show their bad intentions!¡±

    Cao Ren¡¯s face was cold and he said coldly.  Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, almost into a thin line. He didn't know whether he was happy or angry, he just nodded slightly and said calmly.

    "I know this matter well. Now our army still needs Pan Wengui to train the navy, and I will deal with this person in the future. However, Soochow has the Iron Tiger Fleet, and the soldiers are all good at water warfare. Although I have a few  We have an army of 100,000, but it is difficult to make progress. We still need to take a long-term approach and discuss good strategies."

    After hearing this, Cao Ren felt certain in his heart and nodded in agreement.

    "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. There are not many troops in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. When it comes to this land battle, no one in the world except the soldiers and horses of the Western Tang Dynasty can be our army's opponent. Now our army only needs to cross the Yangtze River, and it will be overwhelming.  Defeat Huanglong and conquer Soochow. But the war is difficult at the moment. I wonder if there is any news about Zhenhou? "

    "Fengxiao had an old illness again and was resting in Jingzhou. A few months ago, Fengxiao sent a letter saying that he had found a rare treasure in Jingzhou that could be used for making things, so he accepted him as his disciple and devoted all his life to it.  Study, spend money on teaching, so there is a delay.

    Presumably Fengxiao was ready to leave at this time.  I am also very curious. I heard what Fengxiao said. The young man is only in his twenties, but he has great strategies and is familiar with the art of war, which is even more valuable. This young man is not a stickler for rules. He is good at change and has many knowledge of the art of war.  This view coincides with the way of serving filial piety and Qi Bing.  Therefore, it is extremely joyful to show filial piety.  When the two masters and disciples arrive, I will take a good look at how talented this young man is, and how he can be so appreciated by Guo Langzi, who has always had a high regard!  !  "

    When Cao Ren heard what Cao Cao said, he also showed a bit of surprise and said in shock.

    "That young man is so appreciated by Lord Zhen!? He is probably not just a thing in the pond, but also a genius from heaven. I wonder if Lord Zhen mentioned this boy's name?"

    When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled brightly and said slowly.

    "This son's surname is Jiang Wei, and his given name is Boyue. He is originally from Tianshui. When he was young, he coincided with Wen Bufan's expedition to Liangzhou and fought with Ma Mengqi's Xiliang army. In order to avoid the disaster of the war, his father moved his family to Jingzhou."

    While Cao Cao and Cao Ren were discussing the master-disciple relationship between Guo Jia and Jiang Wei.  On the other hand, it was said that Lu Su returned to the stronghold after victory, rewarded the three armies, and sent people to Wu King Sun Quan to report the victory.  In today's battle, the Soochow Army achieved a complete victory, killing tens of thousands of Wei soldiers. This battle greatly boosted the morale of the Wu soldiers. Everyone in the army, from the generals to the soldiers, were overjoyed and high-spirited to fight. And those few  One hundred thousand Wei soldiers seemed nothing to be afraid of.  In the big tent, after three rounds of drinking, Lu Su and the generals spoke to each other.

    "The great victory our army won today was not only due to the superiority of our ships and equipment and the elite soldiers, but also thanks to the loyal soldiers in the other army who responded internally. It is indeed a great blessing for our country, Soochow!"

    As soon as Lu Su said this, all the generals at the banquet smiled.  Although Lu Su did not name him, the generals knew who he was talking about.  Although the number of soldiers in Soochow at present is far less than the hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers, they still have the upper hand, and there are people who are internally responding to the Wei army.  Therefore, all the generals in Soochow were eager to fight and were eager to try.

    A few days later, the Wei soldiers stood still.  Gan Ning, Ding Feng, Ling Tong and other generals from Soochow came to ask for battle.  However, Lu Su was suspicious of Wei Jun's secret plan and did not dare to act rashly, so he wanted to go to find out.

    So, at the first watch of the night, Lu Su ordered him to pack up a large boat, take Gudong with him, and accompany him with several capable generals, each with strong bows and crossbows. They all boarded the boat and meandered forward to watch the Wei army attack the stronghold.  The building boat took advantage of the cover of night and rushed to the edge of Wei Jun's stronghold.  Lu Su ordered his men to get off the stone and look around. He saw that the Wei army's stronghold was loosely guarded, and there was a faint sound of drums and music.  Lu Su watched for a while, but still saw no boats patrolling the Wei army stronghold.  Lu Su was secretly surprised, so he asked the soldiers to put away the rocks, and they turned their oars on both sides and looked at the river as if they were flying away.  Every time he went there, there was still no movement in Wei Jun's stronghold. Lu Su could walk without hindrance as if he were in his own backyard.

    That night,When Lu Su returned to his army's stronghold, Gan Ning and other generals hurried over to greet him and inquire.  Lu Su walked away and returned to the tent, where all the generals sat down one after another.  Ding Feng, who went with Lu Su, raised his voice and spoke urgently.

    "I see that Cao Cao is unprepared, and there is no one patrolling the river. So why don't we send a group of troops to attack the stronghold and kill them all, which will weaken the spirit of his army!!"

    When Lu Su heard this, his face darkened and he held his beard and said.

    "No! If this is the case, you will definitely fall into the trap of the other army!"

    "Then Cao Mengde was so disheartened by our army that he did not dare to advance rashly. He saw that the battle was difficult, so he relaxed. The governor is the leader of the three armies, how can he be so weak?"

    Ding Feng glared and shouted angrily.  When Lu Meng, who had just gone with him, heard this, he got angry and shouted with his finger.

    "Ding Chengyuan, don't be so presumptuous!! Cao Mengde is a great hero of the time and is well versed in the art of war. How can he not know how to set up defenses!? Because that army saw a water battle in the river and was no match for our army, he pretended to be relaxed, lured our army forward, and planned an ambush.  .You don¡¯t know the art of war, how dare you speak nonsense and despise the power of the governor!¡±

    As soon as Lu Meng said this, Ding Feng's expression changed rapidly. Only then did he realize the pros and cons, and he quickly knelt down on the ground, bowed his head and confessed.

    "Someone is reckless and rude, and has mistakenly violated the authority of the governor. He is willing to be punished!!"

    "Chengyuan, get up quickly. You are concerned about the war, so how can you blame me for doing this. But in the future, whenever you encounter this matter, you need to think more about it. The war is changing rapidly, and the tactics of war are unpredictable. Chengyuan, you are the pillar of our Soochow Kingdom.  , You still need to learn more about the art of war and use more tactics before you can stand alone."

    Lu Su rushed to Ding Feng, helped him up, and spoke to Ding Feng meaningfully.  Ding Feng was very grateful after hearing this. He gritted his teeth and lowered his head in response.

    "You must remember the teachings of the Metropolitan Governor!!"

    "Haha. Good! Good! Good! As the saying goes, knowing your mistakes and being able to correct them is the greatest good."

    Lu Su smiled brightly, and after finishing speaking, he suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Xun, his eyes hooked, looking at Lu Xun as if he was smiling.  Lu Xun understood, stood up and handed over his hands.
