"Squeak--!" The tight support rod was pressed tightly again. As the soldiers who were operating the chariot retreated, a stone cannon soared into the sky and smashed down towards the enemy formation with the sharp sound of the wind.

"Bump!" This shell hit a strong cowhide outside a Mengchong battleship. This layer of ship armor covered with cooked old cowhide was originally used to defend against enemy bows and arrows. Even ordinary swords and guns were difficult to pierce it for a while, but they did not want to be smashed by the sudden fall of the huge rock. The soldiers hiding in the cabin were not as good as defense and were smashed several times, and blood was flowing out.

"The gods are furious, brothers, please run away!" The panicked soldiers from Jingzhou cried one by one, flocking to the still-intact warship.

"Good guy, it's so satisfying. What are you waiting for? Launch the cannon!" Ding Feng, who had just climbed up from the river, was covered in water and kept urging. Seeing that the manipulated soldiers did not move, Ding Feng grabbed the collar of a soldier and shouted.

"General Ding, all the stones brought in the cabin have been beaten!" the soldier said with a bitter face.

"I won the first battle, so I'd better teach Huang Zu a lesson first. This time, I rely on the treasures brought by Brother Ziyang, and the first contribution of Brother Danggui, Brother Yang." Zhou Yu smiled.

Zhou Yu, who was still a little nervous before the war, finally calmed down at this time. He had proved his ability and certainly would not compete with Liu Ye for such a big contribution.

Liu Ye said respectfully: "Your Excellent Award. I just developed the Thunderbolt Car. As for applying it to the ship and converting it into a tail cannon, it's all your ideas."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "If you want to say this, then you, me, and the three of you have all made a contribution. I suggest putting the Pili car at the rear of the ship, and the Pili cart first took the Pili cart on the ship."

"You two are bragging and flattering each other, it's nothing to do with me! The person who comes, he will order the troops to withdraw his troops." Gao Chong said with a sneer.

At Chaisangkou, when they heard the news of victory, almost a river filled the ships that had arrived. Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, Chen Lan and other generals who had not had the opportunity to take the opportunity, led their troops to wait at the dock entrance, waiting for the news.

"Pampered handsome, I can't get enough of this battle. No matter what, I must not forget me next time." Gan Ning took off his silver helmet and showed off his long hair in a flowing shawl, looking extremely chic.

"No matter what, if I don't have my share next time, don't blame me for complaining to the princess!" Xu Sheng had a dark face and looked very unhappy. Although Gan Ning didn't go, Ding Feng was also from Jinfan's army, but he was empty-handed. Since fighting side by side with Musha on Shangliao, Xu Sheng respected Musha very much. Similarly, Xu Sheng's words seemed more substantial to Musha.

"A little trial! You guys are afraid that this battle will not be enough?" Gao Chong laughed. He naturally would not care about these "open and secret struggles" between the generals and leaders. Appropriate competition is also a means to inspire fighting spirit.

"After noon today, the entire army will attack Guishan for the first time!" Zhou Yu said.

After morning tests, Zhou Yu had already discovered the deployment of the Jingzhou army in Xiakou and Guishan. In view of Huang Zu's shrinking most of his troops at Xiakou, Zhou Yu decided to concentrate his troops to capture Guishan first.

Guishan controls the key to the injection of Mian River into the Yangtze River. From here, you can go north along Mian River and directly to Hanjin and Dangyang counties. At the same time, since the terrain of Guishan Mountain is slightly higher than Xiakou, which is separated by a river, standing on the top of Guishan Mountain, you can clearly see the deployment of troops in Xiakou City.

"I think the battle in Guishan may be avoided." Gan Ning said.

Gan Ning said this sentence for no reason. With his old love with Su Fei, perhaps he could really tell Su Fei to give up resistance and surrender to Jiangdong. If he could obtain Guishan without bloodshed, it would be a heavy blow to Huang Zujun in Xiakou.

"How sure is Xingba convinced Su Fei?" Zhou Yu asked.

Since Gao Chong let himself command this battle, Zhou Yu must know every detail of the battle. The fighter's opportunity is fleeting. Now is a great opportunity to attack the enemy, and it will not be too long for Gan Ning to persuade him.

"Can you give me one night? I want to go to Su Fei tonight." Gan Ning's voice was full of confidence.

"It's too dangerous to do this, I can't agree." Gao Chong retorted. If Su Fei repeatedly, Gao Chong might lose a general who relies on his left and right hands. Such risks must be considered.

"Don't worry, Ning will definitely come back safely." Gan Ning smiled and said, he jumped onto the Jinfan warship with a big step, and his burly body flew away at the bow of the ship.

Su Fei patrolled the city walls built on the mountain with anxiety. After learning that Huang Shi had failed, Su Fei immediately adjusted the troops, abandoned the water camp, and stationed all 5,000 people in his troops on this Guishan Mountain.

"There is no way out in front of you, and the only thing left is a desperate battle!" Su Fei sighed and looked at the south side of the river. The light of fire reflected Xiakou like a street market in the sky, which was dazzling and fascinating.

"Du Su, Gan Ning is writing a letter and asking for a visit!" A soldier ran over with a letter and said with a trembling voice.

"What are you talking nonsense? How could Gan Ning come here at this time?" Su Fei shouted, taking out the letter and opening it to watch.

"Brother Fei is safe, I'm going to quit my head--." After looking at this line, Su Fei's hand trembled. Except for Gan Ning, no one would call him that again.

"Come in quickly! No, I'll go out to greet you in person." Su Fei lifted his battle robe and walked out of the camp in a hurry.

Outside the camp, a warship with a brocade-colored sail was parked safely at the entrance of the water camp in the twilight. There was a table table at the bow of the boat, and two wine bottles were placed on the table table. On this side facing the shore, a familiar figure was sitting opposite each other.

"Brother Fei, you are interested in getting on the boat and drinking a sip of Jiangdong's fine wine." Gan Ning smiled brightly and was open-minded.

Su Fei hesitated for a moment and finally boarded the ship. He said, "Xingba, you come alone in front of the two armies, aren't you afraid of accidents?"

Gan Ning laughed and said, "Brother Fei is not such a person, I can trust him."

"Is Xingba a lobbyist for Gao Chong?" Su Fei stopped and looked at Gan Ning and asked.

Gan Ning slowly poured the wine into the bottle and said, "So what, so what, no?"

Su Fei's face changed, he pressed his hand tightly on the scabbard and said, "If so, please Xingba go back immediately. As the governor of the first army, I am a seven-foot man. How can I do this act of greed for life and fear of death? If not, please stay for a night. Fei and Xingba will drink for the last time. The war will begin tomorrow. You and I will be their own masters, and life and death will be the fate."

Gan Ning sighed, slowly put down the wine bottle, and said, "Brother Fei still remembers what you said to me four years ago?"

"A real man has his own skills and should choose a wise ruler to assist him. Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, is the relative of others and believes in the foolish ancestor Huang. Even if you are under his command, you will be mediocre even in four years. When my brother advised me with these words, I will give you back to Brother Fei today." Gan Ning stood up sternly and said seriously.

"But--!" Su Fei was moved, but he was still struggling.

When I first saw Gan Ning, the contradictions in Su Fei's heart were always intertwined. His previous toughness was not so much for loyalty, but for the dignity of a man.

"Tomorrow, our army will attack Guishan first. Brother Fei thinks that your five thousand soldiers can defend it? With what Huang Zu did, I think he will never be able to help you." Gan Ning saw through Su Fei's hesitation, and he said in a stronger tone.

"What will happen if I surrender?" Su Fei spitted these words out of his mouth with difficulty.

A person will face many choices in his life. No matter whether his life is prominent or mediocre, when the choice is placed in front of you, you must face it seriously.

"There are many generals under the commander's tent. Not to mention the commander Zhou Yu, the commander of Jiangxia in the Western Expedition, this time, is Huang Zhong, Lu Fan, and Ling Cao who died in battle not long ago. None of them is like you. As long as you have the ability, they will have a day to make a comeback." Gan Ning said.

After hearing this, Su Fei remained silent for a long time, and his expression was also changing rapidly.

Finally, Su Fei stomped his feet hard and said, "Please also ask Xingba to tell the coach: Fei knew his talent was limited and he dared not expect his future glory. At this time, for the five thousand soldiers he followed, Fei Zizhi led his army to join him tomorrow morning."

"Okay--- I'll feel relieved with Brother Fei's words. Come on, you and my brothers will drink it first!" Gan Ning laughed.

On November 1, 2018, the flags were flying at the top of Guishan City. The battle situation was so smooth that it was a great mood to win the important land of Guishan Gao Chong without bloodshed. Su Fei's surrender to Gao Chong created conditions for Gao Chong's next siege to attack Xiakou, which also made the morale in the army even higher.

In Guishan, Gao Chongjun's temporary tent, Jiangdong generals gathered, waiting for a command.

In the seat of the commander Zhou Yu, Gao Chong sat in the upper head. Standing on both sides were Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Liu Ye, and Su Fei. This time, when Gao Chong was in charge of the army in the west, he handed over the command of the battle to Zhou Yu. This was a kind of trust and a responsibility.

"I see, where will Huang Zu run this time?" Gan Ning was full of energy and persuaded Su Fei to surrender, which won him admiringly.

"How about the defense in Xiakou City?" Zhou Yu asked.

Gan Ning said: "After abandoning the capital in Jiangbei, Huang Zu vigorously repaired and strengthened the Xiakou city wall. Now the northern city wall near the river bank of Xiakou has been raised three feet higher. It is not easy for us to attack and capture the city. However, the Xiakou area is low-lying and has no hills and dangerously narrow. As long as we can concentrate on breaking through, I believe that Huang Zu's army will be defeated."

Liu Ye continued: "Just Scout Xinbao just now, after learning that Guishan was lost, Huang Zu ordered his soldiers to sank two giant Mengchong battleships and cast a large iron chain as thick as a child's arm to seal the waterway of Xiakou North Gate. If our army wants to climb to the south bank, we should take this place first."

"This first battle to seize the city is of great importance. I don't know who is willing to take on this important task!" Zhou Yu said.

"Xu Sheng has no choice!" Xu Sheng, who had already breathed a sigh of relief, roared heavily, and then lifted his battle robe.

Zhou Yu asked: "How many people do Wen Xiang need?"

Xu Sheng replied in a deep voice: "Just need the main office."

"What if the enemy soldiers in the city are coming out when they seize the waterway?" Zhou Yu asked again.

Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Although there are many enemies, in Sheng's eyes, they are just a group of mobs, and they are not afraid of it." Although Jiangxia's soldiers are not strong in combat, but there are many people, they will take a lot of advantages. Xu Sheng is unwilling to reinforce other troops and does not want to give credit to others. However, in this way, the risks faced by Xu Sheng's troops will undoubtedly be greater.

Xu Sheng took the order and Gao Chong, who was sitting in the head, was waiting to remind him, but saw Zhou Yu say again: "Ding Feng, Chen Lan obey the order. After General Xu Sheng sets off, you two will lead the troops to follow behind. If there are enemy troops in Xiakou City, you will try to stop it."

"Yes." Ding Feng and Chen Lan both responded loudly.

"General Gan Ning, you supervise the troops of the Jinfan Army headquarters and patrol the outer river with General Su Fei, beware of the enemy coming upstream." Zhou Yu ordered.

The upper reaches of Xiakou is Jiangling, where all the elite troops of the Jingzhou Navy were stationed. The generals who led the troops were Wenpin, who was good at fighting. Zhou Yu asked Gan Ning and Su Fei to take a break first, one to prepare for the final siege, and the other to prevent Wenpin from appearing suddenly.
