On the river west of Chaisang, a fleet of eighty fast ships was sailing eastward, with colorful brocade sails hanging on the ship. Although this colorful brocade sail had disappeared on the Yangtze River after Ganning surrendered to Jingzhou.

But today, it appeared on the river again, and all the ships in front of it were shocked to avoid it, and Gan Ning stared at the front with a sharp look.

His head was scattered, and his thick black floated in the wind, his collars spread out, revealing the bronze muscles on his chest. He stood at the bow of the boat holding a double halberd in his hand, rough and mighty.

Next to him was a young man as thin as a monkey. He was Hou Wu who was sent by Liu Jing to deliver a letter to Gan Ning. Hou Wu was smart and capable, familiar with Cheng, and did not disappoint Liu Jing's trust. He quickly found Gan Ning.

Hou Wu sat aside, looking at Gan Ning with awe. He was so tall, mighty, fierce and elegant. This was his most admired hero. He was far away from the Left King of Jiangxia. Now he was on the same boat with him, so close to him.

Hou Wu's heart was in chaos, and he seemed to have turned into a stone monkey, not moving for two whole hours.

"Brother, we will reach Chaisang City in twenty miles." On the mast, a brother from Gan Ning shouted loudly.

Gan Ning nodded and turned around and said, "Rise the blood flag and order the brothers to prepare for battle."

A bright red corner flag appeared on the top of the mast, which was a flag-word order to prepare for combat. Then more than eighty fast ships also raised blood flags.

The fleet sailed through the wind and waves and flew towards Chaisang City.

............

Although the catapult and stone cannons brought heavy blows to the Jiangdong army, the Jiangdong army had strong troops and successively invested 15,000 people to attack the city, causing the catapult and stone cannons to gradually lose their sharp defensive effects, and more and more Jiangdong troops attacked the city.

The pressure on the West City was even more than that of the East City. A city that was about twenty feet long was full of dangers. The Jiangdong Army, which had two siege ladders, broke through the defense and killed the city. It was like opening a gap. In an instant, more than two people rushed to the city, controlling this section of the city wall, making Chaisang's defense dangerous.

At this critical moment, Liu Jing led the rest of his men to support him and fought fiercely with more than five Jiangdong troops who were killing the city. The two sides were crowded in a fan shape, crowded and crowded, and they could no longer use long weapons. They could only use knives, stabbed with daggers, poked with arrows, even smashed with fists, and bite with teeth.

Some people kept wailing and falling to the ground. Perhaps they were slightly injured, but they were soon trampled and suffocated to death. Screams came one after another, corpses were everywhere, and blood polluted the city red.

Liu Jing's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. He kept shouting hard: "Don't take back, and you don't take back a single step."

On several siege ladders outside the city, there were densely packed Jiangdong soldiers. They just had nowhere to climb the city. As long as the defenders on the city retreated a little, several people would immediately kill the city, and the general trend of Chaisang City would go.

Both sides have no retreat, and they can only see who can last until the end. In fact, the situation of the defenders of Chaisang City is extremely critical. If they cannot retreat, they will collapse soon.

At this time, a soldier rushed over and shouted in a crying voice: "Mr. Dongcheng can't hold on anymore, General Liao requests support."

Liu Jing's forehead was sweating profusely and hissed and yelled: "Let Wang Tai come to see me"

Wang Tai was responsible for commanding the civil servants. At this time, the civil servants were in chaos. At least half of them could no longer face bloody killings, secretly fled down the city and hid back to their homes. This is a necessity of human nature. Only after long-term training can they become steel and become truly qualified warriors.

They temporarily recruited and trained for only two days, so that they might be able to deal with Xu Sheng’s thousands of men, but in the face of the attack of 20,000 Jiangdong Army, they still wanted them to die and fight to the end. This was obviously unrealistic.

Wang Tai commanded more than six people to defend the middle section. The pressure here was much smaller than that of the east and west ends. It was not the focus of the Jiangdong army's attack, nor did the Jiangdong army kill the city. However, the fierce battle still existed. More than a dozen siege ladders attacked in the middle section. Arrows on both sides were like rain, and rolling wood and stones were smashed like hail. Soldiers were constantly injured and injured on both sides, and screams resounded under the city.

"General Wang"

A soldier rushed over and shouted to Wang Tai: "The public order is ordered to go there immediately."

Wang Tai told a treasury to say a few words, and ran towards the city with sweat.

"Please give me instructions," Wang Tai ran to Liu Jing and said breathlessly.

"How many civil servants are left?" Liu Jing asked anxiously.

Wang Tai looked back at the civilians beside the stone cannon and the trencher, and thought for a moment in his mind, saying, "There are about six more people."

Liu Jing ordered without hesitation: "All the civilians and men are put into battle, but they can be divided into two. You lead people to reinforce Xicheng and push Jiangdong army down the city. Leave the rest to me, and I will support Dongcheng."

"Abide by the order"

Wang Tai ran away, and the six civil servants were quickly divided into two. Wang Tai led people to increase the defense of the west city, while Liu Jing led the rest to kill to the east city.

At this time, Liao Hua's troops in Dongcheng were gradually unable to support him. He had only more than 60 people left, and the Jiangdong Army had increased to more than 10 people. Seeing that the defense on the Eastern Front was about to collapse, at this extremely critical moment, Liu Jing led a new force to kill him in time.

"Brothers, let me kill you in."

Liu Jing shouted loudly, his long spear danced in his hand and rushed into the enemy group. The big spear flew and was elusive. He picked out famous enemy generals in a row and killed a bloody battle, so that reinforcements and Liao Hua's remnants were integrated into one.

The leader of the commander led the morale of the Jingzhou defenders, and the offensive was like a tide, killing the Jiangdong Army to retreat step by step, and people kept rolling down the city. Even Pan Zhang could not support it, and retreated to the city with a sharp axe.

Just one cup of tea, all the Jiangdong troops who were attacking Dongcheng were driven down from the city, and the crisis was finally resolved. At this time, Liu Jing shouted to Liao Hua: "I will defend Dongcheng, and you go and support Wang Tai."

Liao Hua admired Liu Jing so much that he was convinced. He bowed his fists and "Zhou Order" and led more than 20 people to help Wang Tai in Xicheng.

At this time, Liu Jing swung the drumstick and beat the urging drum that Zhao Yun taught him again. The drum sound was earth-shaking: Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong became more and more urgent, and the drum sound echoed over the city of Chaisang. Every sound of war drum hit the hearts of the soldiers in Jingzhou, which made them motivated and had high fighting spirit.

On the top of the city, the battle situation began to reverse, and groups of civilians who fled down the city returned to the top of the city. They mustered up the courage to join the defensive battle to defend the city.

.........

On the hill, Lu Su looked at the fierce battle on the city, frowned in an hour and a half, and Chaisang City had not yet been able to take it down. Seeing that the casualties were getting worse and worse, he silently estimated in his heart that the casualties had reached nearly 4,000.

If Xu Sheng had more than a thousand casualties a few days ago, he would have lost five thousand people. Lu Su did not expect such heavy casualties. How could he explain to Wu Hou?

At this time, Xu Sheng stepped forward and whispered: "Governor, our army's morale has declined, and the enemy's morale is rising. I guess this wave of offensive will not be successful. It is better to withdraw first and then fight after resting, otherwise the casualties will be greater."

"no"

Ling Cao said decisively: "Five thousand people attacked the city, only thousands of enemy troops, and they were killed and retreated. It will be spread out, so that the Jiangdong Army will be in a good state. Please give me five thousand reinforcements. I will seize Chaisang within half an hour. If I fail, I will be dealt with by military law."

As soon as Ling Cao finished speaking, there was a shout behind him. Everyone turned around and saw that the river behind him was already burning with fire and thick smoke.

The place where the fire light was ignited was the mooring place where they stored food and grass ships. Lu Su was shocked and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

A soldier rushed over and reported urgently: "Reported to the Governor, the Jinfan bandit Gan Ning led more than 1,000 people to kill him. The water camp defender was defeated and was rushed into the water camp to set fire. The grain storage ships have been burned down, and the situation is urgent."

Everyone looked at each other and Xu Sheng said anxiously: "Governor, Gan Ning is brave and good at fighting, and has long been famous. It is difficult for ordinary people to resist the enemy. If they do not return to defend, the ships will probably be burned."

Lu Su's face was pale. He knew that Gan Ning had surrendered to Liu Biao and was the garrison of Yangxin County, so he must have come to help Liu Jing.

Lu Su was in a dilemma. After a while, he sighed and issued an order to withdraw his troops: "Get out the troops and return to the water camp."

Dangdangdang

The rapid sound of the golden bell rang out. This was the order of the Jiangdong Army to withdraw the troops. Ganning's accidental sneak attack caused heavy losses to the Jiangdong Army, and Lu Su was forced to order the withdrawal.

The Jiangdong army retreated like a tide. Looking at the retreating Jiangdong soldiers and the flames in the enemy's water camp, the city wall suddenly became jubilant.

On the top of the city, Liu Jing stood with a gun, and he also saw the thick smoke and flames on the river. This must have been Gan Ning who came to kill him. He was extremely excited and could no longer control his inner feelings. Hot tears poured out from his eyes.

Only in the almost desperate war can we deeply realize the preciousness of reinforcements. At the moment when he needed support the most, Gan Ning finally arrived.

At this moment, Liu Jing felt a sense of rebirth like a phoenix.

...........

When the Jiangdong army withdrew from the ship, Gan Ning's fleet disappeared on the river, but he did not leave, but hid somewhere, waiting patiently for the opportunity.

If the river surface is also a hunting ground, then Gan Ning is undoubtedly the best hunter in this hunting ground. He led his men like a group of the most cunning wolves. He would not conflict head-on with his opponents, but instead look for opportunities to kill the enemy with one blow.

In the cabin, Lu Su was upset and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. In just one and a half hours, his army had suffered 4,000 casualties. This number shocked him deeply, with more than half of the casualties on the opponent's catapults and stone cannons.

In addition to the more than a thousand people lost by Xu Sheng, there were 5,000 casualties. This was the worst casualties of the Jiangdong Army in recent years. More importantly, Chaisang City has not been taken down yet.

Lu Su didn't know how to explain the casualties to his lord, nor did he know how Zhang Zhao and others would scold him.
