"Liu Bei may not take action, but there will always be someone who will help him."
Yang Ling laughed and looked at the flaming river in the distance.
While the soldiers and horses of both sides were fighting fiercely on the Chibi River, the lights in the Fankou military camp were brightly lit.
Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others gathered in the camp, waiting for news about Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.
"Calculating the time, Governor Zuo and General Gongfu should have already met with Wei Yan, right?"
Sun Quan looked towards Liu Bei.
"Yes, I think it won't be long before news comes."
Liu Bei nodded.
The two were talking when they saw Chen Dao walking in quickly from outside the tent.
"I have met my lord, the Marquis of Wu, and the State Shepherd!"
He saluted everyone one by one and said solemnly,
"There is a military report coming from the front!"
"Oh? But there is news about Governor Zuo and General Gongfu?"
Sun Quan was refreshed and asked quickly.
"The report back to Marquis Wu is not the news sent back by Zuo Dudu and others."
Chen Dao explained to Sun Quan,
"But we sent to supervise the warships in Xiakou and found that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's navy left Xiakou at night and headed straight for Jiangling!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts sank.
The navy of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun has never been an opponent of the coalition forces.
On weekdays, they only dare to huddle in the Han River and never enter the Yangtze River.
However, at the critical moment when Wei Yan was about to take refuge, he suddenly left Xiakou and headed towards Jiangling. This clearly meant that something had changed!
"Don't panic, everyone. Yang Ling must have discovered Wei Yan's defection, so he dispatched two naval forces to pursue him."
Huang Quan smiled nonchalantly and comforted,
"With the tens of thousands of naval forces led by Commander Zuo and General Gongfu, as well as Wei Yan's surrendered troops, can't they easily defeat Cai Hao and Zhang Yun?"
After everyone thought about it carefully, they felt that it made sense.
If Yang Ling found out that Wei Yan had defected, how could he remain indifferent?
However, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said solemnly,
"Impossible! Jiangling and Xiakou are hundreds of miles apart, and Yang Ling has no time to notify Cai Hao and Zhang Yun in Xiakou!"
"Unless he knew in advance, Wei Yan would rebel!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this!
"Mr. Kong Ming means...that Wei Yan took refuge tonight was deliberately designed by Yang Ling?"
Zhou Yu was the first to react and asked.
"Yang Ling has always been cunning. If he instructs Wei Yan to pretend to surrender, but actually sets up an ambush secretly, then Governor Zuo and General Gongfu will be in danger!"
The more Zhuge Liang thought about it, the more likely it was. He looked anxiously and said to Liu Bei and Sun Quan,
"I also hope that my lord and Wu Hou will send troops immediately to support Governor Zuo and the others!"
Regardless of whether Wei Yan surrendered or it was a trap set by Yang Ling, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had already sent troops, so in order to avoid accidents, they should also send troops to respond!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei said to Sun Quan in a deep voice,
"Marquis Wu, why don't we send someone to meet Governor Zuo and General Gongfu?"
"good!"
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were both from Jiangdong, so Sun Quan naturally nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
So Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Liu Qi, and Huang Quan were stationed at Fankou, while Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang led Zhang Fei, Jiang Qin, Han Dang, Ling Tong and other generals, as well as tens of thousands of naval troops, and hurriedly left Fankou and headed straight for Red Cliff.
They did not dare to delay along the way and ordered the oarsmen to row as hard as they could, and finally arrived at Red Cliff before dawn.
However, what they saw made Zhou Yu and others stunned.
I saw flames rising into the sky above the Yangtze River, and the remains of ignited ships floating on the water.
The fleet of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai was attacked from two sides by Cao's army, and the situation was quite unfavorable!
"Captain Zhou, let's go quickly to support them!"
Zhuge Liang suggested.
Zhou Yu came to his senses and immediately ordered his soldiers to attack Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's troops.
The combat effectiveness of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's navy was naturally unable to compete with the coalition forces.
After just a moment of resistance, the ships led by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were scattered!
Jiang Qin took the opportunity and ordered his soldiers to shake the oars and rush to the vicinity of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's ship!
"Don't shoot arrows! I am Jiang Gongyi!"
Upon hearing that Jiang Qin signed up for his number, the soldiers on the ship quickly stopped and called Cheng Pu and Huang Gai over!
Seeing Jiang Qin's arrival, Cheng and Huang were both surprised and happy!
"Gongyi, why are you here!"
"My lord and Uncle Liu knew that you had fallen into a trap, so they specially ordered the right commander to lead us to come to your rescue!"
Jiang Qin said loudly,
"Cao Jun's siege has been broken, please leave with me!"
"OK!"
Cheng Pu didn't hesitate at all, and immediately asked his soldiers to shake the oars, and followed Jiang Qin's boat to escape!
This scene was naturally caught in the eyes of Gan Ning, who had been staring at the commander's ship!
"The enemy wants to flee! Meng Qi, Zhongye, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Gan Ning gave an order and drove the stern he was riding on to quickly chase Huang Gai and Cheng Pu who were escaping!
I saw the cockroach nimbly shuttle among the warships, and soon came to the vicinity of the ship!
"Fire the arrow!"
Huang Gai pointed at Gan Ning's cockroach and shouted loudly.
"Swish swish!"
Countless arrows fell from the ship like raindrops!
Gan Ning, Ma Chao, and Wenpin quickly raised their shields and blocked numerous arrows!
"General Xingba, this ship is too high to get on board!"
Wenpin shouted!
Although the ships of Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were far inferior to Sun Quan's Feiyun, they were still the most majestic ships in the world.
With Gan Ning's stern, it was too difficult to board the ship and start a boarding battle!
Gan Ning rolled his eyes, but when he saw Jiang Qin's warship in front of him, he immediately had an idea!
"Go hit the ship in front!"
"Here!"
The soldiers shook the oars desperately and hit Jiang Qin hard!
Jiang Qin's warship is not comparable to Cheng Huang's ship, it is just an ordinary stern!
"boom!"
The warships of both sides collided. Before Jiang Qin could react to what happened, he heard a roar.
"I am willing to be a hegemon. If you don't want to die, get out!"
He turned around and saw Gan Ning jumping on the stern, swinging the thick iron chain in his hand!
An ignorant Jiangdong soldier wanted to resist.
But he saw the iron chain whizzing towards him and hitting him hard on the top of his head, as if his brain was bursting!
Gan Ning did not hesitate at all, and rushed towards the other soldiers like a murderer!
Ma Chao and Wenpin led Cao's soldiers, followed closely behind him, and charged and killed him wantonly on the stern!
Seeing his soldiers being killed and completely defeated, Jiang Qin couldn't sit still.
He picked up a steel knife and blocked Gan Ning's path.
"Thieves, stop being so arrogant and let me, Jiang Gongyi, come and meet you!"
"Are you Jiang Gongyi?"
Gan Ning squinted his eyes and looked at him, then laughed disdainfully.
"It's nothing more than that."
"Don't let your words prevail!"
Jiang Qin didn't waste any time talking to Gan Ning and attacked with his sword!
The terrain on the mountain is narrow and there is no room to dodge.
However, Gan Ning didn't seem to have any intention of dodge. He suddenly opened the chain in his hand and raised it, holding Jiang Qin's long sword.
