West of Chaisang.
In order to block the enemy from the west along the river, Wu set up three water villages in the upper reaches of Chaisang, which have been prepared for emergencies, and the water camp here is the first water camp in the westernmost part of Chaisang.
At night, more than 6,000 Wu naval troops, less than 300 warships, retreated into the first water camp.
In this battle, Cheng Pu came with the idea of victory, and led the naval army that thought he was invincible, but he paid a thousand casualties and nearly 50 warships, and ended in a win Cheng Pu did not participate in the Battle of Chibi, did not experience a major defeat, the previous battle of Hanjin, although the camp fell, but his naval army retreated.
It can be said that Cheng Pu has not experienced so many losses of soldiers since he unified the naval army, and this is the first time.
What made him feel even more humiliated was that he had been killed and wounded more than 1,000 soldiers, and he had not been able to defeat Ma Yuan, a hateful old enemy, and the two sides fought fiercely for more than two hours, and finally could only retreat separately when each was damaged.
For an arrogant veteran like Cheng Pu, fighting against a character like Ma Yuan and not winning is equivalent to failure.
I remembered that when I left Chaisang, I proudly declared to Lu Su that he could easily annihilate the incoming enemy in just one battle, and wash away the shame of Hanjin's defeat.
Right now, this battle that is bound to win has ended in such a form, and Cheng Pu simply feels that he is disgraced.
"Ma Yuan, you thief pretending to be an ancient, if you fight again tomorrow, the old man will definitely kill you" As soon as he entered the big tent, Cheng Pu scolded angrily.
The curtain was lifted, and the general Dong Xi stepped into the tent, looking at Cheng Pu, who was angry, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid, and he didn't dare to speak until his mouth came out.
"What's the situation with the thief army" Cheng Pu temporarily suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.
Dong Xi coughed lightly a few times, and said cautiously: "Old general, the enemy army has retreated to fifteen miles away, camped on the north bank, and joined the more than 5,000 cavalry led by Tao Shangqin. ” Hearing the existence of the "potter", the Wu generals in the tent all changed color slightly, almost instinctively revealing a look of jealousy.
After all, in the battle of Chibi, they lost too badly, and the potters caused them a great psychological shadow, so that they couldn't help but tremble when they heard the name of the potters.
Seeing that the generals on the left and right were so jealous of the pottery merchants, Cheng Pu became angry, glared at them and reprimanded: "The pottery thief is just a landlubber, even if he has cavalry, how can he dare to go into the water, you are all my famous generals of Dawu, how can you be so afraid of pottery thieves, where is the military prestige of my Dawu?"
gave Cheng Pu such a scolding left and right, but they all bowed their heads and didn't dare to squeak.
Dong Xi saw that Cheng Pu's anger had subsided slightly, so he whispered: "General Cheng, I didn't expect that Ma Yuan did have some ability in this battle, and he could even fight with us to a draw.
"Whoever dares to retreat and disturb the morale of the army, the old man will be dealt with by military law" Cheng Pu shouted loudly, interrupting Dong Raid's persuasion, making Dong Raid tremble in fright, and he didn't dare to speak out again.
Cheng Pu glanced around at the generals and said sharply: "My Great Wu Naval Division, originally invincible in the Yangtze River, right now the horse aid dog thief, the naval army is less than our army, the warship is inferior to us, but the battle with us is tied, don't you feel ashamed If you don't destroy this thief, where is the prestige of my Great Wu Naval Army, and where should our glory be?"
Cheng Pu is not just angry, but uses honor to stimulate the fighting spirit of the generals.
In the big tent, there were some depressed generals, and the sense of honor in their hearts was suddenly stimulated by Cheng Pu's anger, and the fighting spirit was like a raging fire.
"Damn, what the old general said is right, if we don't slaughter that horse aid, where will we put our faces" Dong Xi also ignited his blood and scolded.
The rest of the generals gritted their teeth, and the scolding suddenly rose, all clamoring for a decisive battle with the Wei army.
Seeing that the generals were motivated, Cheng Pu nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and said proudly: "This is like my Dawu man, this time, we must annihilate his naval army before the invasion of the main force of the pottery thief, and wait for the old man to fight tomorrow morning, so that the pottery thief knows the true strength of our Dawu naval army."
"I am willing to fight to the death with the old general" "Kill the horse aid dog thief and raise the prestige of our army" "The blood feud of revenge for the defeat of Chibi" The generals in the tent were angry for a while, and the arrogant shouts of war rose and fell.
Cheng Pu stroked his white beard, his old face was full of a hint of pride, and he said coldly: "Tao thief, if you want to invade my Chaisang, the old man will let you know what it is like to return home."
Southwest of Chaisang, between the rugged and narrow mountain road that could only accommodate two carriages in parallel, a light horse was hurrying forward.
The soldiers and horses of the 5,000 men marched silently, except for the hooves of the horses and the sound of panting, they could not hear the slightest noise, and they were quiet as if they were ghost soldiers from hell.
The banner with the word "item" was blown by the mountain wind and danced wildly.
On the war horse, Xiang Yu of the golden armor was moving forward silently, but in his mind, he was thinking about a big battle that he was about to face.
In his thoughts, a scout in front of him came to Xiang Yu directly.
"General Yu, there is no Wu army ambush in the front area, there are only more than 1,000 defenders in Chaisang City, and the rest were taken away by Cheng Pu and transferred upstream to fight with our army."
Scout Yu reported.
"Okay" Hearing this information, Xiang Yu's tired face quietly swept a trace of excitement, and he couldn't help but scream.
The situation on Chaisang's side, as the potters had speculated in advance, the arrogant Cheng Pu had already transferred all the main forces of the defenders to the upper reaches to meet the horse reinforcements, and he was completely unprepared that he Xiang Yu would take the remote road of Lukou and go around to the south of Chaisang.
All the development of the situation is in the hands of the potter.
"The king is really like a god."
Xiang Yu secretly admired in his heart, his confidence doubled, and he raised his gun and shouted: "Pass my general order, order the soldiers to speed up the march, before dark, you must kill Chaisang for me."
The order was conveyed layer by layer from the head of the team to the end of the team, and the five thousand Wei knights who had been on the road for two days and two nights immediately cheered up and beat their war horses to speed up.
When the last trace of the sun is about to sink in front of the mountains, the road ahead is getting wider and wider, and the peaks on the left and right sides are gradually turning from towering into the clouds and turning into inconspicuous hills.
Even, the ears have gradually sounded, when the sound of the waves and rivers is strong, Xiang Yu and his soldiers are more and more excited, they know that the target city is about to arrive.
Xiang Yu and his soldiers desperately whipped the war horse under their crotch and galloped like the wind.
With a neighing of the war horse under his crotch, when he jumped up the hill, Xiang Yu's eyes suddenly opened up, and the rolling Yangtze River meandered in front of him like a jade belt.
On the south bank of the Yangtze River, the majestic city came into view.
That is Chaisan City Behind Xiang Yu, five thousand light horsemen successively went up the hill, and the black pressure painted the hill, building an iron and black wall.

Those tired soldiers, gasping for breath, swept away the outline of the city, and in an instant, all the fatigue and hard work were wiped out at this moment, and all that was left was the raging battle intent like a raging flame.
"Chaisang City, it's finally here" Xiang Yu wiped the hot sweat on his forehead, laughed domineeringly, and the murderous spirit overflowed.
Looking back at the soldiers, Xiang Yu pointed the overlord gun in his hand at Chaisang and shouted: "The king has a word first, the first one to enter Chaisang City will be rewarded with five hundred gold, and the soldiers of Dawei will follow the general to fight and level Chaisang City."
In the thunderous shouting, Xiang Yu shot his horse, like a golden lightning, broke through the sky and went straight to Chaisang.
The heavy reward of 500 gold instantly burned all the fatigue of the soldiers, and the fighting spirit of the 5,000 iron cavalry soldiers was burning to the extreme, like a tiger out of the mountain, following Xiang Yu and surging away.
The iron hooves rolled, like a torrent to Chaisang City, carrying the momentum of the sky and the earth cracking, in a blink of an eye, it rushed to the south gate of Chaisang.
At the head of the city, the Wu army had no defense at all, and it was not until the Wei army rushed to the front of the city that they were shocked to realize that along the line of the city, it became a pot of porridge in a blink of an eye.
"The Wei army is the cavalry of the Wei army" "Isn't the Wei army on the river in the west, how can it be killed from the south of the city?"
"Oh no, the enemy is about to storm the city."
"Close the gates, close the gates immediately" At the head of the city, the sound of gongs and the sound of alarms, and the screams of soldiers, in the blink of an eye, became chaotic.
The Great Wei Iron Cavalry descended like a heavenly soldier, this formation, in a blink of an eye, made the defenders of Wu State collapse, in a panic, the soldiers guarding the gate were in a hurry to close the city gate, but they did not have time to pull up the drawbridge.
Taking advantage of the panic of the enemy, the iron cavalry led by Xiang Yu rushed to the edge of the city in the blink of an eye with a supreme momentum like a tide.
Xiang Yu rushed across the suspension bridge, and with a sweep of the golden gun, he cut off the suspension lock, and the iron riders behind him rushed over and easily crossed the moat.
Straight to the front of the city, Xiang Yu shouted: "The archers let go of the arrows, trap the city and die, and rush to the city for the general." ” When the order was passed, 5,000 light cavalrymen immediately turned over and dismounted, and more than 1,000 crossbowmen aimed at the city head and fired arrows, suppressing the counterattack of hundreds of enemy soldiers at the city head in a blink of an eye.
After the arrow advantage was captured, the remaining 4,000 warriors untied the flying hooks on their horses, and the sound of the wind whistled up, and thousands of iron hooks soared into the air and hung up on the city wall.
With the earth-shattering sound of killing, on the south line of Chaisang City, nearly 5,000 Wei soldiers, all like monkeys, braved the flying stones and sassal trees flying down from the city, and fearlessly crawled towards the city.
Chaisang City is an important town in Eastern Wu, the city wall is several zhang high, such a fortified city, if it is properly guarded, even if the Wei army has sophisticated siege equipment, it cannot be shaken, let alone such a simple flying hook.
It's a pity that Cheng Pu fell into the trick of luring the enemy, and all the 7,000 main forces were led out, leaving only 2,000 defenders, of which nearly half were still in the water camp outside the northern city, and the soldiers and horses left in the city were only more than 1,000 people.
At this moment, the number of Wu troops stationed on the front line of the south gate is no more than 200 people.
How could only two hundred panicked soldiers resist the five thousand Wei army, which suddenly climbed the city at the same time, and could not defend it at all.
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 50 Wei soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and the weapons in their hands ruthlessly slashed at the frightened enemy.
The first dead soldier ascended, and the resistance of the rest of the siege soldiers decreased sharply, and more and more soldiers climbed up to the top of the city, and soon, the more than 200 frightened Wu soldiers were drowned in the thousands of soldiers of the Wei army.
Kill the Wei soldiers at the head of the city, drive the enemy all the way down the city, and scatter the defenders of the inner city gate.
The sound of "squeaking" sounded, and the heavy and tightly closed gate of Chaisang City was finally slowly opened from the inside.
Xiang Yu was overjoyed, turned over on his horse, raised his gun and shouted: "Great Wei Iron Cavalry, follow the general to kill Chaisang, and kill all Wu dogs" In the midst of the loud shouts, Xiang Yu waved the golden gun, like golden lightning, and rushed into the city unstoppably.
Behind him, thousands of knights, with fanatical fighting spirit, rushed into Chaisang City from the open city gate like a tide.
At the head of the South Gate, the battle flag of the Wu army was cut down with a knife, and the blood-stained battle flag of the Great Wei was proudly raised under the residual blood. isjgy:
