Boom——
Another Dongling Navy warship was crashed behind.
"What's going on!" Kang Zhu was shocked.
"General, Lieutenant Shen of Fenglingwu... rush in from behind and kill our troops!"
"Isn't he from Lingren?"
Kang Zhu gritted his teeth, everything was not going well. If the people from Fenglingwu could besiege the Xishu Navy together, the Xishu Navy would not be able to hold on for long.
Moreover, because of the desperate battle, he did not retain the remaining troops. It was too late to turn the ship around at this point. Furthermore, these people from Fenglingwu came with the wind.
The only good thing is that there is no fire boat in Fenglingwu.
"Quick, move the boat over first——"
"General Kang, the Shu people are approaching! They are throwing fire arrows! We are... being attacked from both sides."
Kang Zhu's face became even more shocked.
The Fenglingwu Navy was behind and could not be left alone. But at this time, the Xishu Navy, although lacking in numbers, had taken advantage of the opportunity and launched a counterattack.
There were only more than two hundred Dongling warships left, and they suddenly became a little panicked.
"Kill!"
The reckless general Fan Lu was not as steady as Dou Tong. According to his temper, as long as he sees a flaw, he will immediately counterattack.
Boom, boom.
Several more Dongling warships were hit and sunk by plows.
If we put it before, the more than a thousand naval forces in Fenglingwu would not pose any threat at all. But after fighting hard, in order to set foot in Cangzhou, Kang Zhu only had six or seven thousand naval troops.
These more than a thousand people are enough for a flanking attack.
Furthermore, there are also two to three thousand Shu people in the front and back positions.
"Don't be chaotic. Immediately raise the flag and disperse the warships. The rear army will turn around and stop the rebels in Fenglingwu!" Kang Zhu gritted his teeth.
It's a pity that the people in Fenglingwu clung to the water formation and didn't give them any chance to turn around.
More and more Dongling warships were constantly being sunk under the attack. When they got closer, Fan Lu, who was in the front line of Western Shu, began to draw his sword and shout angrily, asking the Shu soldiers to keep shooting from a long distance.
It was too late to turn the ship around, but instead the entire water formation became more and more congested. And this kind of congestion is likely to cause catastrophe.
The warship was unable to charge and became a target.
"Flag order! Form a formation of ships and use long-range shots to contain the enemy!"
The more than 200 warships in the congestion quickly organized their bows and began to fire back and forth according to Kang Zhu's order.
Both sides suffered casualties. But at this time, four or five fire boats were already burning in the direction of the Xishu Navy.
However, the people from Fenglingwu hadn't retreated yet and were blocking them behind.
Kang Zhu raised his head, closed his eyes in pain, and let out a long sigh.
The Shu people's fire boats rushed into the water formation of the headquarters. Under such congestion, they were already defeated.
"Burn these Dongling people to death!" Fan Lu shouted with hatred. Four or five fireboats, with the boatmen rowing angrily, were already under the cover of the shield boat, braving the flying arrows, getting closer and closer to the Dongling people's crowded water formation.
Two ships were shot and sunk, but three more ships crashed into the water formation. Huge fire dragons began to climb crazily along the entire congested Dongling Water Formation.
Kang Zhu, whose face was burned by the fire, was helpless and sat on the bow of the boat with a knife in his hand, looking around absently.
"General, hurry up. We've prepared a canoe to send the general away." More than a dozen personal guards came over in a hurry, their faces full of anxiety.
"Where can I go?" Kang Zhu's voice trembled, "My defeat has ruined Dongling's more than 40,000 elite navy. From now on, there will no longer be the power of Dongling's navy on this Xiangjiang River."
Even though there were new troops, under the circumstances, there was no time to practice entering the water. Furthermore, there are also burned warships, which will also take a long time to slowly build.
"Jiangzhou cannot be entered by water. On the other side of Liancheng, it is even more difficult for Xishu's crippled military counselors to conquer. Lidu City... the 50,000-strong Shanyue Camp will probably be surrounded."
"The general is General Dongling. Even if he goes back, my lord will definitely not blame him too much."
"I will blame myself. I can't save Dongling. I, Kangzhu, am no different from a pig or dog."
All around, the congested water array was already on fire.
Kang Zhu stood up weakly, brushed the messy hair from his forehead, and silently clenched the sword with one hand.
…
"what's your name."
"My name is Kang Zhu. I am from the Xishui Tribe. Zuo Shuidong is a good man. I want to follow Zuo Shuidong."
"Okay, I, Zuo Shiren, will accept you as my general. But in the future, you must not fight with people from other tribes."
"Why?"
"I have an idea to gather the people from the twenty-seven tribes of Shanyue together to form an army. How about you help me? In the future, I will send you more rice seeds and linen cloth to teach you. You farm and weave clothes.”
…
"My lord, Kang Zhu has fulfilled his mission and unified the twenty-seven tribes of Shanyue."
"Kang Zhu, you are my Zuo Shiren's general! We can't just stay in Lingzhou, you pass the order for me, and we will attack Wuzhou immediately in half a month! In this time of great chaos, only my Zuo Shiren's benevolence and righteousness can Save the world!"
"Kang Zhu, when I conquer the country, I will make you the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses."
"I just want to follow my lord, nothing else."
…
In the river breeze, Kang Zhu turned around and looked in the direction of Dongling, throwing his head back and laughing.
"I'm sorry, my lord, I'm going to go first——"
After laughing, he calmly raised his hand, raised the sword horizontally, and without any hesitation, cut it on the neck.
On the main ship, the cries of the guards who were too late to stop him were suddenly dispersed in the sea of fire and strong wind.
…
In front of Liancheng, Zuo Shiren stopped.
Under the sunlight, his body felt a little chilly for no reason.
"Lord, what's wrong?" Ling Su next to him asked strangely.
"I don't know why, but my body suddenly became cold."
"My lord, are you worried about General Kang?"
Zuo Shiren was silent for a while, "Qi De, you don't know what Kang Zhu means to me. I was still the dispatching officer of Lingzhou County, and it was Kang Zhu who helped me. The first army then rose up and occupied the three states of Dongling."
"Except for my legitimate son, he is the person I love the most."
Ling Su rolled his eyes and laughed lightly.
"I really hope that General Kang can make a great contribution on the waterway. However, General Kang's behavior is indeed a bit pedantic-"
"Qi De, don't say anything more!" Zuo Shiren was a little angry, snorted coldly, and walked forward.
"At least half of the credit for the three states of Dongling is attributed to Kang Zhu. If I, Zuo Shiren, take over the country, it would not be an exaggeration to make him King of Side by Side!"
Ling Su felt bored and hesitated to answer.
In a hurry, Zuo Shiren turned his head again and looked in the direction of Cangzhou. Inexplicably, the uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger.
In this world, he could suspect that his legitimate son would rebel, but he would not doubt Kang Zhu. He only hoped that his general could penetrate the Cangzhou waterway and set foot in Cangzhou. As long as both sides work together to save Li Ducheng, there is still a great chance to save the situation in Dongling.
Kang Zhu, my Zuo Shiren's general.
