Ding Feng looked up into the air and saw black smoke appearing above the woods in the distance. Fires flashed from time to time in the thick smoke, and fireworks rushed towards the bright and clear night sky. Ding Feng was stunned. He had guessed that this should be the Jiangxia defenders of Xiazhi County who discovered them and set fire to the city.

If Xiazhi County is burned out by fire, all the secrets will be burned. What is the point of rushing to occupy the county town? Ding Feng suddenly became anxious and shouted: "So quickly."

The ship suddenly accelerated, and sixteen long wooden oars rowed, causing the clutch to move forward like flying on the water. The soldiers on both sides of the strait also ran faster. Dante Feng was not careless about this. He kept calling on the soldiers on both sides to pay attention to investigating the enemy situation.

After walking about ten miles, there was a scream from the boat ahead. Ding Feng stood up and shouted, "What happened?"

A soldier shouted in horror: "General, there is something abnormal in the water."

Ding Feng also smelled the pungent smell. He was surprised and looked carefully at the water surface. He saw a thick layer of shiny oil floating on the water surface. He reached out and took a hand, and his hands were covered with sticky oil. A thought suddenly arose in his heart, is this fire oil

Ding Feng had never seen the turtle oil of Jiangxia Army, but someone under his command had seen it. Someone immediately shouted: "This is turtle oil, Jiangxia Army wants to burn us."

Ding Feng was shocked, and he immediately made an order: "Retreat to the Yangtze River immediately."

The fleet on the river surface was a little confused. The ships in front began to turn around, but many ships behind were still moving forward. At this moment, a raging fire suddenly appeared on the river surface ahead, just like a fast-moving fire dragon spreading rapidly towards the Jiangdong Army's ships.

The Jiangdong Army fleet suddenly became in chaos, and screams were heard. All the ships turned around and rowed northward. The dozen ships in the front even fell over one after another. The soldiers jumped down the river and swam desperately towards the shore.

With a loud bang, the fire engulfed more than 20 ships in front. Dozens of soldiers were unable to escape and were instantly engulfed by the fire. Screams resounded across the river. Fortunately, Jiangdong found the turmeric oil in time and did not penetrate deep into the turmeric oil. Except for the more than 20 ships in front, the other ships fled from the sea of ​​fire and rowed desperately towards the Yangtze River.

The soldiers on the shore also turned around and ran.

At this time, there were shouts of killing not far behind, and the drums were like thunder. Two thousand Jiangxia soldiers, led by general Wei Yan, chased the Jiangdong soldiers with their heads. The anger in their hearts burst out at this moment. Everyone forgot the fatigue of the march and chased them hard.

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were constantly being chased, and many soldiers were so scared that they kneeled down to surrender, but Wei Yan did not accept the surrender. He shouted: "Kill me, no one left."

The spear stabbed, the sword slashed, and the arrows were like rain, shooting towards the ships in the river, killing the soldiers in Jiangdong crying and crying. Many people had just climbed up from the water, but were chopped over by the soldiers of Jiangxia and kicked them into the river. The Jiangxia army chased for more than twenty miles in one breath, killing more than a thousand enemies, and then stopped chasing.

But the fire in the river had a greater impact on the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army. They were already scared and frightened. They continued to speed up their boats and fled like flying. They rowed into the Yangtze River in one breath. Ding Fengcai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He counted the warships and the number of people, and lost nearly 40% of the ships, and only more than 2,000 soldiers were left.

Ding Feng sighed deeply, and Xu Sheng asked him to rush to Xiazhi County before the defeated troops in Chaisang and occupy Xiazhi County with his military strength. But now he is obviously one step late, and the defeated troops in Chaisang have already arrived at Xiazhi County first.

Ding Feng knew that the army could not conquer Xiazhi County with this amount, and his morale was sluggish. The soldiers were all scared by a fire and they were not interested in fighting again. More importantly, the Jiangxia army had set fire to the city, and they probably had nothing to want.

After thinking about it, Ding Feng had no intention of fighting again. He immediately ordered: "Set off for Chaisang"

The remaining more ships quickly descended the river and headed towards Chaisang.

At noon the next day, Li Jun led reinforcements to Xiazhi County. He brought Liu Jing's order and ordered Wei Yan to be responsible for defending Xiazhi County and Yangxin County. Wuchang would soon add 10,000 troops to Xiazhi County.

Liu Jing also ordered Wei Yan to send troops to escort the people of Yangxin County to retreat to Changsha, while 150 soldiers who mastered oil refining technology were transferred back to Wuchang County.

...........

At the same time when Ding Feng failed to attack Xiazhi County, a fleet of fifty heavy warships took advantage of the night to sail past Chaisang and headed towards Pengze.

This fleet was led by Yama Shen Mi. It had 5,000 Jiangxia Navy and 50 warships. All of them were large warships of the Jiangxia Army, all of which were more than 2,000 stones. It was equipped with large stone cannons and catapults, and its attack power was very powerful.

This is Jia Xu's strategy. Although Xu Sheng sneaked and occupied Chaisang, he also made an empty mistake in the rear. He led most of the troops to Chaisang, so Pengze must have only a small number of soldiers to guard it. The Jiangxia army seized this loophole and counterattacked Pengze. This actually happened once in the Battle of Chaisang that year, and history is often so similar.

It is about to be far away from Chaisang to Pengze. If you walk along the water, you can reach it overnight. When dawn is approaching, the Jiangxia fleet sailed into Pengze Lake and drove quickly towards Jiangdong Water Village twenty miles away.

For the warship, it was the number one warship of the Jiangxia Army. It had a size of 4,000 stones and was huge. Chen Mi stood on the bow of the ship with a burly body like cedar. He held a single halberd and a shield in his hand. He was a sworn brother of Gan Ning, and his martial arts skills were also from Gan Ning.

Although his martial arts skills can only be considered medium on land, he is known as the number one water champion in Jiangxia on water. Even the Jinfan thief Gan Ning admitted that he is not his opponent in water.

Chen Mi won the trust and respect of Liu Jing. When Liu Jing went to Qichun to form an alliance with Sun Quan, he was Liu Jing's personal bodyguard. Liu Jing's respect for him was not just to let him be a personal bodyguard, but to try his best to cultivate him so that he could stand alone and become a handsome man.

However, Chen Mi was still slightly lacking in strategy, and Liu Jing was worried that he would make mistakes in the battle, so he asked his adviser Liao Li to assist him. Liao Li was about ten years old, with a long figure and fair skin. He was from Wuling County, with outstanding talents and good strategies, and had a good relationship with Jiang Wan.

After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Jing became famous all over the world. Liao Li politely declined Liu Bei's win over and came to join Liu Jing. Jiang Wan recommended him to Liu Jing and became a counselor to participate in military affairs and participate in military planning. This time, Chen Mi went to Pengze alone. Liu Jing was worried that his strategy was insufficient, so he asked Liao Li to assist him.

At this time, Liao Li slowly walked forward, shook his feather fan and smiled, "There are water warships and tents on the shore in Pengze Water Village. How do the general plan to break it?"

Although Chen Mi was born, he respected the questionable counselor very much. He also respected Liao Li very much. He clasped his fists and said, "The governor of the state told me to act according to the opportunity. I am also worried about this matter. Please teach me."

Liao Li smiled slightly, "The so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy, and to defeat the water camp, you must first understand the enemy's situation. If what I expected is not bad, there must be a patrol ship on the surface of Pengze Lake. Why don't the general change the Jiangdong Army battle flag and lure him to come and ask, and take the opportunity to catch it to understand the situation of the enemy."

A word reminded Chen Mi, and he slapped his forehead and said, "It's still awesome sir."

He immediately ordered all warships to be replaced with the Eastern Wu battle flag of the Jiangdong Army. A huge Jiangdong battle flag was hung on his mast, which was fluttering in the river breeze, and the big Wu word was particularly conspicuous.

Not long after, a stone patrol ship appeared in front of him, slowly approaching the fleet. It was the Pengze naval army's sentry ship. Chen Mi was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the drop of a small boat and led several naval troops to rush towards the naval ship from the incline.

There were only five Jiangdong troops on the whistle ship. They were lured by the Jiangdong Battle Banner and came forward to inquire, but were surrounded by Jiangxia's boat.

At this time, the ship of the sentry also realized something was wrong and turned around and was about to run away. Chen Mi jumped onto the ship of the sentry, swung the short halberd, slashed left and right, and killed people in an instant. The other two soldiers were so scared by his fierceness that they quickly knelt down and surrendered.

Chen Mi short halberd pointed to two people and ordered: "Take these two people onto the big ship."

...........

The scout patrol is like a double-edged sword. It can detect the enemy's information and become a sharp blade to kill the enemy, but if used carelessly, it will also cut its own hand.

Peng Ze's patrol was such a double-edged sword. From the two patrols, Jiang Xia's army got almost all the information they wanted.

Ten thousand troops were stationed in Chaisang for 8,000, and there were only two thousand troops stationed in Pengze Water Village. Nearly five warships were parked in the Water Village. The military camp on the shore was almost empty.

But what interested Chen Mi was that there were a large amount of supplies stored in the warehouse, including food, weapons and tents, etc. Most of these supplies were the benefits distributed by the Jiangxia army to the Jiangdong army during the Battle of Chibi.

The Jiangxia army naturally delivered the goods in Pengze, and Jiangdong did not transport them back to Jingkou, and they were directly stored in Pengze Cangying.

"I only understand the vision of the governor in the state now."

Chen Mi sighed and said, "The state governor must have obtained the right to distribute profits. At first, I didn't understand. Now I understand. If the Jiangdong Army was allowed to obtain the turtle oil from Cao's army, then how passive our actions will be today."

Liao Li nodded, "The governor of the state should have seen through Sun Quan's ambitions long ago and knew that this battle was inevitable, so he planned ahead and would never allow the Jiangdong army to obtain important materials such as tinder oil."

Speaking of this, Liao Li smiled and said, "Tell me about Pengze, General Chen has obtained detailed situations and is preparing to fight this battle."

Chen Mi bowed modestly and said, "I know very well how to hit me. The key is that the provincial governor asked me to consider more strategies. I am really lacking in this regard. I hope the teacher can teach me."

After saying that, he looked at Liao Li with anticipation

Liao Li likes this humble and honest young general very much, and likes his respect for himself. Liao Li stroked his beard and smiled: "In fact, the so-called strategy is to consider the overall situation. Don't focus on a battle, don't just consider Pengze, but should consider the overall situation, consider the impact of this battle on the entire Jiangdong Army, and at the same time, we must obtain the greatest benefits. From this point of view, General Chen thinks about what to do.

Chen Mi thought for a moment and said, "I guess the main force of the Jiangdong Army will be at least two days away, but I still have a quick battle. There are only two thousand people on the other side. One battle can be broken. The key is supplies. It's a pity to burn so many warships and supplies. It's better to pull them out and transport them all back to Wuchang. As for the water camp that cannot be taken away, I want to burn them completely."

Liao Li nodded, "General Chen is completely correct, I don't need to add anything."

Chen Mi received encouragement and was so excited that she was ready to go, "Let the Jiangdong Army taste the power of my heavy boat."

Liao Li smiled, "I am looking forward to the general's methods."

Chen Mi turned around and walked out of the cabin, strode to the bow, and heard his call from afar, "Run directly into the water village"
