Lu Meng panicked.

He thought his plan was brilliant, even more impeccable than the Beacon Tower plan.

Liu Bei wanted to break the iron lock on the river, so he could only pull the boat up and hope that he could cut off the iron lock with a knife.

So he guarded against this move and directly pulled three iron locks to ensure that Liu Bei would not break through his iron lock formation in a short period of time.

Liu Jun's warship was blocked by the iron lock, which was equivalent to anchoring in the river and became an immovable target.

His eight thousand navy troops were able to use their mobility to kill Liu Jun with arrows.

Liu Bei must have suffered heavy losses from the crossbow attack and had to withdraw his troops in the end.

This is Lu Meng's wishful thinking.

But what he didn't expect was that Liu Bei didn't follow the routine and actually used fire attack.

These hundreds of fire rafts hit the iron locks, and when hundreds of fires burned, it would be strange if the iron locks were not burned to pieces.

Liu Bei was able to defeat his plan of blocking the river without even using a single soldier!

"Deng Mu, is this your trick again?~~"

Lu Meng clenched his fists tightly, and his shocked eyes showed anger.

Ling Tong was shocked and shouted:

"Lu Ziming, Liu Bei actually used fire to attack, what should I do? Lu

Meng was furious and turned around and shouted at him:

"Remember, I am the Navy Commander!"

Ling Tongyi was stunned, looking at the ferocious-looking Lu Meng, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

He had to swallow and said in a deep voice:

"Governor Lu, Liu Bei used fire attack, your iron lock formation has been cracked!"

"What to do now? Please come up with an idea quickly! Lu

Meng's anger subsided a little and he turned back to look at the river.

He saw hundreds of fire rafts approaching the iron lock and about to collide with him.

Lu Meng gritted his teeth and shouted sharply:

"The whole army obeyed the order, and each ship put an iron lock formation on me, and overturned the fire raft."

"The iron lock must not be burned!"

After this order, Ling Tong was immediately taken aback.

Not to mention the raging fire raft, even if the ships were attached to it, would they be able to overturn it?

Once the warships were attached, wouldn't they become living targets? Shot by Liu Jun's warship?

"Governor Lu, we only have eight thousand sailors!"

"This is the last of the lord's naval assets. It cannot withstand casualties!"

"I think this iron lock formation cannot be defended. Don't let the soldiers' lives go to waste!"

Ling Tong had no choice but to persuade him.

But Lu Meng's face was as solid as iron, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Once the iron lock formation is broken, Wankou will be lost, and Liu Bei's army will be able to move towards Jianye unimpeded!"

"By then Jiangdong will be finished, and the lord's 567 foundation will be finished!"

"We must defend the Iron Lock Formation at all costs!"

Ling Tongyi was stern and wanted to persuade him again.

But Lu Meng drew his sword in his hand and shouted angrily:

"I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. If you dare to talk too much and mislead the military situation, I will deal with you according to the law!"

Ling Tong had no choice but to grit his teeth and turn around.

The flag waved and the horn sounded.

Nearly two hundred warships, under the command of Ling Tong, rushed up the river towards the Iron Lock Formation.

"Bang bang bang!"

With bursts of crashing sounds, hundreds of boats and rafts hit the iron lock first.

The fire burned wildly, and soon dozens of iron locks were burned red and began to deform.

The warship commanded by Ling Tong finally Arriving there.

Planks of wood were laid on the three iron locks, and the Jiangdong soldiers were driven up. They risked falling into the river and tried their best to lift the fire raft. The fire raft was no better than a warship, and its weight was limited after all. , not unshakable.

Under their desperate efforts, more than ten fire rafts were overturned, and the fire was quickly extinguished by the river.

It seemed that the crisis was about to be reversed.

Liu Jun fleet, flagship

"Military Advisor Deng really knew what was going on, and Lü Meng really jumped over the wall in a hurry, pressed the navy on top, and tried to overturn the fire raft..."

Gan Ning looked at the dying Jiangdong Army and sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Then he unsheathed his sword and pointed forward. refer to:

"I ordered all the ships and all the crossbowmen to aim at the enemy soldiers on the iron chain."

"Cum into me and leave no one behind!"

On the flagship, war drums sounded.

Tens of thousands of crossbowmen, bows and arrows, aimed at the enemy.

Today's battle is probably the most prosperous water battle since Liu Bei's navy was established.

There are tens of thousands of crossbowmen, more than all the sailors of Jiangdong Army combined.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The sound of breaking through the air was like a flock of birds flapping their wings.

Tens of thousands of sharp arrows, densely packed like a heaven and earth net, rushed toward the iron lock.

The arrows fell.

Screams suddenly sounded, and countless streams of blood flew into the air.

Countless Jiangdong The soldiers were shot in pieces. They screamed and fell into the river, and were swallowed up by the rolling river in a blink of an eye.

Under the suppression of the arrow rain, Jiangdong Army suffered heavy casualties and could not even lift its head, let alone lift it. The raft overturned.

The situation that had just been reversed seemed to be heading for the worse again.

"The governor has ordered that the fire raft must be overturned!"

"Come on again!"

Ling Tong waved his long sword and roared at the soldiers on the left and right. The

Jiangdong soldiers in each ship could only be driven off the ship in batches, caught up with the iron locks, and crawled towards the fire raft under the rain of arrows.

To no avail.

Nothing. Any obstruction by them was like a living target, becoming the target for Liu Jun's crossbowmen to practice their shooting skills.

Every moment, thousands of sharp arrows fell from the sky, harvesting their lives.

People kept getting hit by arrows, and people kept getting hit. After falling into the river, in just a quarter of an hour, five hundred Jiangdong soldiers were killed or injured. The remaining Jiangdong soldiers were finally shot to the point of mental collapse, and no one dared to get off the ship again.

Ling Tong was helpless and could only order Lu Meng to send a signal. , requesting retreat.

On the flagship.

Seeing that Ling Tong had not made any progress, Lu Meng was already worried and annoyed.

When he saw the flag requesting retreat, he suddenly became furious.

"Send an order to Ling Tong and tell him that he is not allowed to retreat and must save Tie Suo for me!"

"If he dares to disobey the order, I will kill him without mercy!"

The flag signal was sent out from the flagship. Ling

Tong, who was still hoping that Lu Meng would withdraw his troops, felt a chill behind him.

"Lu Meng, in order to keep your position as governor, don't you take the lives of your soldiers seriously?"

Ling Tong gritted his teeth, with a look of sadness and anger on his face.

He knew very well how Lu Meng was feeling at this time.

Just less than two months ago, he was still a small Sima of another department, with a military rank lower than himself.

Not many people in the Jiangdong Army, including him, had even heard of the name Lu Meng. It wasn't until Chai Sang's military meeting that day that he boldly jumped over the rank and offered the beacon plan, and then he gained Sun Ce's trust.

As a result, he rose to great heights all the way, and within two months So he jumped from the command of another department to become the governor and rode on the heads of all of them.

Even the senior Cheng Pu had to stand back.

For such a little man to suddenly climb to a high position, what he is most afraid of is Naturally, he lost the power he had gained so hard.

If he failed in this battle, there was no guarantee that he would not follow Zhou Yu's footsteps and lose Sun Ce's trust in him.

So he knew he couldn't do it, but he still had to do it and hold on to it at all costs. This iron lock formation blocks the river

"Lu Meng~~"

Ling Tongyi gritted his teeth and said sternly:

"Jiangdong Erlang, follow me and overturn the fire raft!"

Then he actually climbed out of the warship with his sword in hand and climbed onto the iron lock himself. The general took the lead, and Jiangdong's soldiers were inspired and regained their courage and climbed towards the iron lock one after another.

There seemed to be hope of reversing the situation.

On the flagship of the military formation.

Gan Ning saw the enemy's situation and couldn't help but admired: (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"In such a situation, Ling Tong still refuses to retreat. It seems that Jiangdong is not just full of rats, but there are also brave generals!"

After admiring him, disdain flashed across Gan Ning's face and he snorted:

"Fortunately, Military Advisor Deng had already anticipated this and had second-hand preparations."

"Any of your desperate struggles are in vain!"

After that,

Gan Ning's eyes were filled with murderous intent, he raised his knife and shouted:

"Send the order and cast Crash!"

The order was passed.

More than twenty modified fighting ships roared out of the ship array. In front of these fighting ships, iron (bjcb) ramming horns were installed, and the cabins were filled with stones. The tonnage far exceeds that of a normal fighting ship.

This is a ramming ship that Deng Mu proposed to Liu Bei and modified overnight.

The purpose is to use the tonnage of the fighting ship to break the red-hot iron lock in one fell swoop.

The ramming ship roars away.

When Ling Tong, who was locked in an iron chain, saw this scene, his face changed with horror.

"retreat, withdraw all to the ship"[]

Ling Tong shouted with a trembling voice and crawled back in a hurry.

The Jiangdong soldiers on the iron chain were all frightened and scrambled to crawl back.

It's too late.

More than twenty ships collided with each other and crashed into it.

Under the huge impact, how could the iron lock, which had been turned red, withstand such a terrifying impact?

"Click, click, click!"

The first iron lock collapsed.

The Jiangdong soldiers who had no time to climb back into the boat were all thrown away and fell into the river in pieces.

Ling Tong, with quick eyes and quick hands, firmly grasped the second lock. The iron lock was not thrown away just now.

Without the restraint of the iron lock, the fire raft immediately moved forward and hit the second iron lock.

At the same time, countless rockets rose into the sky from Liu Jun's battleship and shot at More than twenty ramming ships.

These ramming ships were not only piled with ballast stones, but also filled with kerosene.

When the rockets landed, the ramming ships burst into flames and turned into blazing fire ships in the blink of an eye.

The fire ships With the fire raft, the second iron lock was burned red in a moment.

To the east of the iron lock formation.

Lu Meng looked at the scene in front of him, and the remaining hope on his face disappeared.

He knew that all his desperate struggles would be destroyed. The situation is over!

It is impossible to hold on to the iron lock formation!

If you continue to hold on, the third iron lock will be burned out, and not only Wankou will not be able to hold it, but he and the thousands of navy troops will also be wiped out. here

"Send the order, the whole army retreats!"

"If you send a message to your lord as soon as possible, say that Wankou has been captured, and ask him to quickly withdraw his troops to Jianye! Lu

Meng's face was full of reluctance, but he waved his hand feebly.

The deputy general Ma Zhong beside him said anxiously:

"Governor Lu, many of our troops are still trapped in the iron locks and have not had time to evacuate to the ship."

"If we withdraw now, what will happen to those people? Lu

Meng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"If we don’t withdraw now, if the iron chain is broken, all of us will die!"

"I have to save this naval force for my lord, so I can only sacrifice them."

Ma Zhong was speechless.

In desperation, he could only shake his head and sigh, and gave the order.

The golden sound sounded, and the flagship turned around and left first.

Hundreds of Jiangdong battleships, like frightened birds, turned around and fled in panic.

Ling Tong crawled on the iron Locking it, he watched helplessly as Lu Meng abandoned him and fled, leading his army to leave first.

"Lu Meng, you greedy and fearful thief!"

"You force me to fight to the death, but you are afraid of fighting and run away!"

"You bitch——"

On the river, Lu Meng's sad and angry curses rang out.

Jiangdong's army fled far away.

The second iron lock was burned, and the third iron lock was burned...

The formation of the iron locks blocking the river collapsed.

Liu Jun's navy took advantage of the situation to break through the Wankou defense line.

Ling Tong and other hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers were captured, and the Liu-character battle flag was raised in Wankou City on the north bank.

This defensive line of defense for Jianye, the last line of defense, has changed hands.

Jing County.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and arrows were like rain shuttles.

Jiangdong Army, under the supervision of Sun Ce, is launching an unprecedented fierce attack on Jingxian County.

The city is crumbling and it seems that it cannot hold on for much longer.

"Tai Shi Ci!"

"It's in vain that I admire you so much. I have surrendered to you several times, but you don't know how to praise me."

"After the city is broken, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Sun Ce stared at the"Taishi" battle flag at the top of the city, his eyes burning with murderous rage.

"Taishi Ci is at the end of his powerful crossbow. If he can hold on for at least two days, Jing County will be defeated."

"Bo Fu, I am worried about Wankou."

The veteran with white hair and beard next to him said with a bit of worry:

"That Lu Ziming, is he reliable? Can he stop the 60,000 big-eared bandit army with only 8,000 sailors?"

The veteran who made the suggestion was Cheng Pu.

As the last survivor of the three veterans of the Sun family, he was the only one in Jiangdong who dared to question Sun Ce's employment.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Sun Ce's eyes, but it was hard to get angry.

"Old General Demou, don't worry"

"Although Lu Ziming only has 8,000 naval troops, don't forget that he has already set up three iron locks"

"With the iron chain across the river, even if there are millions of big-eared thieves, how can they break through our Wankou defense line!"

Sun Ce raised the corners of his mouth with a confident sneer on his face.

Cheng Pu relaxed his brows slightly, but then said:

"Logically speaking, this plan of blocking the river with iron locks is indeed a clever plan."

"It's just that Lu Ziming is too young, I'm worried. Like Zhou Yu, he exaggerates and will never be able to hold a big position."

Based on Zhou Yu's experience, Cheng Pu was still uneasy about Lu Meng.

In his words, there was a hint of doubting Sun Ce's vision of people.

Sun Ce smiled coldly and said confidently:

"Don't worry, Old General Demou, I will never hire the wrong person this time."

"This Lu Ziming's wisdom is far superior to Zhou Yu's!"

"With him here, the Wankou defense line is absolutely foolproof.——"

The word"lost" was just spoken.

A scout came on horseback, dismounted from his saddle, and knelt at Sun Ce's feet.

"Report to the lord, urgent report from Wankou!"

"Liu Bei's fire broke through our iron lock formation, Governor Lu was defeated, and Ling Tong was captured."

"Wankou Fortress has been captured by Liu Bei!"

The confidence on Sun Ce's face collapsed in an instant.
