Chapter 163
On the Caohe River, dozens of large ships followed closely. The water gate in front was closed. The arrows on the city were raining like rain, mixed with rockets, causing several ships close to the city wall to catch fire. The ships behind were also ambushed and caught fire. The fire soared into the sky, causing the fleet to be in a dilemma.
The soldiers began to panic and squeezed on the side of the ship and shouted. Su Fei, who was in the middle of the fleet, was also confused. Huang Sho fell into the trap and fell into the city. How did he explain this to Huang Zu?
A general came over in a small boat and asked loudly: "Prince, the morale of the army is in chaos. What should I do now?"
Su Fei forced himself to calm down. He knew that he had fallen into a deep trap and had been a trap from the beginning. Even the Zhou family was under the control of others. Now he could not get ashore no matter what. He didn't know what ambush was on the shore. It was very likely that Liu Jing was waiting on the shore.
Su Fei looked at both sides of Caohe. In fact, Caohe is quite wide and can turn around. Only when the fleet returns to the Yangtze River can it be safe.
"Order the small boat to clear the road, the fleet turns around and return to the Yangtze River!"
‘Dongdongdongdongdong!’ The fleet turned the drums and the big ships began to slowly turn around. Although the scene was still chaotic, the Jiangxia army had already found hope for survival.
More than a dozen small boats took the lead, trying to clear out several large fired ships blocking the waterway. They used long ropes to hang the ships across the river and pulled them hard to the riverside. Several large ships began to move slowly, and everything was developing in a direction that was beneficial to the Jiangxia army.
The accident happened again at this moment. The soldiers moved away from the big ship and saw not the wide and flat waterway, but hundreds of dense small boats. They rushed into the Caohe River like fish, arrows roared and shot, and the soldiers on the Jiangxia army's boats were all caught in arrows and fell into the water, screaming in a whole lot.
In the head of a small boat, a general was standing on the bow. He was eight feet tall, with a big waist and a round waist, a majestic appearance, holding a pair of double halberds in his hand. This person was Gan Ning.
Gan Ning led his subordinates to successfully escape the encirclement and suppression of Huang Zu's fleet on the Yangtze River. Taking advantage of the flexible and extremely fast ships, he left Huang Zu's fleet far behind and rushed to Chaisang first to intercept the Jiangxia army that was attacking Chaisang.
"Kill up and destroy the first three enemy ships!"
Gan Ning shouted loudly, and more than a hundred small boats rushed into the Caohe River flexibly, shuttled between the large Jiangxia army ships. The three large ships led were soon surrounded and submerged by soldiers who flocked to the boat.
The three large ships quickly sank into the bottom of the river and blocked the channel again. The remaining twenty large ships of the Jiangxia army were blocked again in Caohe. Seeing that the ships in front were ignited by the fire, the soldiers became in chaos again and jumped into the water and swam up the shore.
Su Fei stood at the bow of the boat. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he had to shout: "Abandon the boat and go ashore! Abandon the boat and go ashore!"
At this moment, a black shadow jumped into the boat in front of him, standing straight in front of him, staring at him with a smile, "Su Fei, do you still know me?"
"It's you!"
Su Fei took two steps back and showed a look of horror in his eyes. It turned out to be the Jinfan thief Gan Ning. He and Gan Ning knew each other very early and had been dealing with each other for many years. He knew that Gan Ning was powerful. If Gan Ning was still a water thief, he would not be afraid, but Gan Ning is now a member of Liu Jing and his enemy. Could they have anything else to say?
"Su Fei, surrender! I'll spare your life."
Su Fei bit his lip tightly and took a few steps back. Suddenly, he roared and slashed at Gan Ning. Gan Ning sneered, his figure dodged the long sword like a ghost, and the two halberds in his hand were like lightning, stabbing Su Fei's chest and throat. It was instantly in front of him. Su Fei was so scared that he lost his soul. He turned his body backwards, rolled sideways out, and avoided Gan Ning's fatal blow.
But as soon as he was about to get up, a cold halberd tip had already pressed against the back of his neck. Gan Ning said coldly behind him: "If you dare to move again, you will definitely die!"

More than 2,000 Jiangxia soldiers threw away their armor and dived and swam. There was a human instinct here. For example, after the Jiangdong soldiers dived, most of them swam to the east coast. The east coast was the direction of their hometown, while most of the Jiangxia soldiers swam to the west coast. This was because Wuchang and Xiakou were in the west of Chaisang.
Groups of soldiers climbed ashore and ran to the darkness of the west with no life. Hundreds of steps away were a dense forest, stretching for more than ten miles. Escape into the woods seemed to mean safety. At this moment, a shout of killing erupted in the woods.
Liu Jing, who had already ambushed here, led a thousand soldiers to kill them. Although the marching was exhausted, their morale was high at this time. They intercepted the Jiangxia army's escape route, waved their swords and spears, and each fought bravely to kill the enemy. Most of the Jiangxia army took off their armor and discarded their weapons when they dived. They were unarmed and killed so hard that they had no way to go, and they knelt down and begged for surrender.
At the fourth update, the battle outside the city finally ended. More than 500 Jiangxia troops who participated in the sneak attack were killed and more than 2,200 surrendered. Only a few hundred people escaped at night. Even the main general Huang She and the deputy general Su Fei were both captured.
The water and land city gates opened, and teams of dejected prisoners of war were taken into the city, and eighteen unburned warships were transported into the city as spoils.
In a room near the city gate, Huang Sho was naked, his arms were tied up by cow tendons, and he knelt on the ground dejectedly. At this time, he was scared and full of hatred. He was afraid that Liu Jing would kill him, and hatred was just the opposite. He was extremely eager to kill Liu Jing.
Huang She also knew in her heart that Liu Jing was unlikely to kill him because he had greater value in use. At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded, and he felt that someone was walking towards him. When Huang She stopped in front of him, she saw a pair of military boots covered with mud.
Huang She slowly raised her head and saw a cold face, which was Liu Jing who had been trying to kill him day and night.
"Young Master Huang, we meet again!"
Liu Jing smiled faintly and said, "I just didn't expect that we met in this way. Maybe an hour ago, you still imagined that I was tied up and kneeling in front of you, right!"
A huge sense of shame rushed to Huang's forehead, and he suddenly roared hysterically, "Dog bastard, if you have the ability, you can kill me!"
He tried hard to stand up, but was pressed tightly by several soldiers. Liu Jing was not annoyed and said in a cold tone: "Of course I won't kill you. I want to exchange you for what I want from Huang Zu, but it's okay to have some tricks on you, for example, just like your brother dealing with Liu Cong."
Liu Jing laughed in his ear and said, "It's very simple to make your thing stand up forever."
Huang She was extremely frightened. He was not afraid of Liu Jing killing him, but he was afraid that Liu Jing would impolite him. He knelt on the ground and retreated repeatedly, "No! You can't."
Liu Jing stared at him for a while, and suddenly slapped him twice. He slapped Huang Xiao and turned black in front of him. He almost fainted. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Liu Jing grabbed his hair, lifted his face, and stared at him viciously and said, "You shameless bastard, how dare you fight for a woman with me? Are you impatient to live?"
At this moment, Huang She's heart was filled with fear and despair. Even if Tao Zhan stood in front of him, he didn't dare to have any thoughts. He shouted in horror, "I dare not, I swear, I will no longer have any ideas about her."
"Your swear is like shit, it's stinky!"
Liu Jing scolded him in extreme disgust and said to the left and right orders: "Take him down and take him under strict supervision!"
Several soldiers dragged Huang's ejaculation and left. Huang's ejaculation was so scared that she shouted, "Young Master Jing, spare me! Don't castrate me, I dare not think about it anymore, and I will never dare to do it again!"
Liu Jing's face was as deep as water, and he didn't say a word, and after a while, he ordered: "Bring Su Fei up."
At this time, Gan Ning stepped forward and whispered: "Young Master, Su Fei has an old age with me. Can you... give me some face?"
Liu Jing nodded, "I have my own sense of responsibility."
After a moment, Su Fei was pushed up. He knelt on one knee on the ground, lowered his head and said nothing. Liu Jing had met Su Fei when he attacked Jiangxia and Zhang Wu and Chen Sun. It was only more than half a year ago. The situation at that time was still fresh in memory.
Liu Jing walked up and smiled and said, "General Su, we are meeting again."
Su Fei sighed and said, "If you want to kill, kill, I will not surrender to you."
'surrender?'
Liu Jing looked at him strangely and asked in confusion: "Why did General Su say the word "surrender"? I am the nephew of the provincial governor, and I am the governor of the provincial governor, and you are also the commander of the Jiangxia lieutenant appointed by the provincial governor. We are all subordinates of the provincial governor, so how can we talk about the word "surrender"?"
Su Fei was speechless when Liu Jing asked, and after a while, he said, "I am only loyal to Prefect Huang. As for who he is loyal to, it has nothing to do with me!"
Liu Jing nodded and pondered for a moment, saying, "Frankly speaking, I won't force you to surrender. I'm not interested in you. I'm just interested in your soldiers. The reason I asked you for a question is to know who are you loyal to? Are you loyal to Huang Zu or the provincial governor? Now I understand that you are loyal to Huang Zu, so I have nothing to say. I will convey your original words to the provincial governor."
Su Fei lowered his head deeper, his lips moved, but he could not say anything, and his face showed a look of shame. He was originally promoted by Liu Biao and appointed him as the commander of Jiangxia. According to the Han system, the prefect was in charge of politics and the commander of the army. Both were directly complicated to the court, and the court sent the prefect to supervise.
But the system is determined by people and will change with people's will. First of all, the state governor is no longer the so-called supervisory agency, but becomes a real local regime, and gradually forms a separatist trend. At the same time, the prefect no longer only manages politics. When its hands reach into the army, the commander is marginalized and gradually becomes a vassal of the prefect.
This is very obvious in Jiangxia. Su Fei was originally appointed by Liu Biao and was in charge of Jiangxia's army, but now he has become Huang Zu's accomplice.
Su Fei was extremely ashamed. After a while, he whispered: "I can't help but have many things, and the governor of the state himself understands them."
Liu Jing looked at him deeply for a while, then said calmly: "You don't need to explain this to me. I don't care. I have a letter with several conditions on it. You give it to Huang Zu for me. If he agrees, I will let his son go. If he doesn't agree, I will hang Huang's head on the city wall for a month."
As he said that, Liu Jing ordered his left and right to loosen Su Fei's ties and handed him another letter, "You go!"
Su Fei was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Liu Jing let him go so easily. He suddenly glanced at Gan Ning. Seeing Gan Ning smiling on his face, he suddenly understood in his heart. He bowed to Gan Ning, turned around and strode away. Liu Jing looked at him and walked away, and then ordered: "Let him out of the city!"
