The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 426 Defeat
Cao Ang nodded. He knew that Cao Cao seldom praised others. So far, he had only mentioned Qin Shou and Guan Yu. Although he hated the one with gnashing teeth, he had to admit that the other was powerful, while the other loved his loyalty and bravery.

The last person was Zhou Yu, a young man who had blocked him for several years. If it weren't for him, Cao Cao would have unified Jiangdong long ago, and the situation would not be what it is now.

"General, the scouts reported that Gan Ning led nearly a thousand warships of the Lujiang Navy and attacked Chaisang."

A scout came running over and reported loudly.

After hearing this, Lu Xun and the other man not only did not show any panic on their faces, but instead showed a bit of joy on their faces.

"finally come."

Cao Ang laughed out loud.

He knew that from today on, the Lujiang Navy in Jiangbei would suffer heavy losses. If he could take the opportunity to kill Gan Ning, that would be the best thing.

Gan Ning naturally didn't know all this. He was standing on the deck, and within his field of vision was a huge naval camp, but at this time the naval camp seemed a little empty.

However, there were quite a few ships inside, and not far away, there was a huge dock. He guessed that was where the wood was stored and warships were built.

That is also today’s goal.

"Pass on my order, charge into the navy camp and burn everything here."

Gan Ning did not take the enemies inside seriously at all, because he had seen many enemies fleeing to the shore, and some enemies actually took the initiative to fight him, but the boat capsized in the river in the panic.

The scene was in chaos, as if it was an army without a leader, with no power to resist at all.

Upon seeing this, Gan Ning and other generals burst into laughter and ridiculed Lu Boyan's ability.

"Perhaps Lu Boyan is a talented person, but he must have never commanded a large army, which is why he is like this." Gan Ning laughed and shook his head and said, "However, even if he has extraordinary talent, it is useless in this situation."

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the warships in front broke into the Cao army's naval camp, and an attack officially began. A large number of soldiers jumped out of the warships of the Cavalry Army and seized the enemy's warships.

Obviously, when Cao's soldiers saw the arrival of the cavalry, they fled one after another. The army did not encounter much resistance at all and easily captured the enemy's warships.

"The enemy has abandoned the warships and has taken refuge in a large stronghold on land to resist."

Gan Ning soon discovered that there were many soldiers standing on the arrow tower of the enemy's navy camp. The leader was dressed in white, and he must be the commander Lu Xun, and next to him was also a young general.

"Gan Ning, Cao Ang is here, come and die."

Suddenly, a roar came from the arrow tower, which shocked Gan Ning.

"Cao Ang? Cao Cao's eldest son?" Gan Ning looked around and exclaimed, "Cao Cao's eldest son is here?"

"General, some time ago, Cao Cao personally led an expedition to Xiangyang, but was tricked by his military advisor and captured the enemy's second son. If you capture the enemy's eldest son alive now, I'm afraid Cao Cao will be so angry that he will jump into the river."

After hearing this, Gan Ning showed a trace of ecstasy on his face. He immediately drew out his sword, pointed at the front gate, and shouted loudly: "Whoever captures Cao Ang alive will be promoted three levels and rewarded with a thousand gold coins."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three armies cheered.

The Cavalry Army had clear rewards and punishments, and no one dared to embezzle military merit. Thinking of the possibility of capturing Cao Cao's eldest son alive, it would be such an honor if such a credit could be grasped in one's hands.

"Kill!"

The three armies were encouraged and, relying on their weapons, jumped off the warships and charged towards Cao Ang.

Rao Caoang had already made preparations, but looking at the densely packed enemies in front of him, he was still a little panicked. "Master, the situation is almost over, too much is as bad as too little, go down first." Lu Xun looked at the crazy cavalry below and sighed in his heart.

I am happy to hear about war. Such an enemy is really terrifying. No wonder the Cavalry Army is invincible and can occupy most of the world. Only with such soldiers can such an army be created.

Cao Ang followed suit and trotted down from the arrow tower without hesitation. Behind him, a dark mass could be vaguely seen, which was definitely more than just 1,500 elite soldiers.

Gan Ning naturally didn't know this, and was commanding his army to attack the camp on the shore. In his opinion, with tens of thousands of troops, he would be able to defeat the enemy in front of him and capture the camp soon.

What they didn’t expect was that after an hour, the enemy’s camp remained motionless. Although the enemy was at a disadvantage, they were still resisting stubbornly.

"Brother, the enemy's number is too large, definitely more than 1,500."

Gan Ying came running over and reported loudly.

Gan Ning was stunned at first, then suddenly he thought of something and shouted, "Oh no, we've been tricked. Quick, call back the troops."

As he said this, he jumped onto a warship and ordered the army to retreat.

Lu Xun, who was commanding the army in front of the big tent, had already seen the movements of the Cavalry Army. He guessed that Gan Ning might have discovered something, and immediately waved the command flag in his hand.

Suddenly, countless soldiers and horses appeared in the central army, and countless rockets fell from the sky and landed on the river. The ships that were hit to the side instantly caught fire.

The entire naval camp was suddenly engulfed in a sea of ​​fire, and the flames dyed the sky red.

Although Gan Ning returned to the warship early, it was not easy to evacuate tens of thousands of troops in an instant. For a while, screams were heard everywhere. Some soldiers were burned to death in the flames, some were trampled to death while fleeing, and some fell into the river and drowned.

The entire naval camp was in chaos.

Gan Ning didn't have time to care about much at this time. The army was in chaos and as many people as possible escaped.

Fortunately, the discipline of the Cavalry Corps was still very strict. After experiencing chaos, most of them boarded the warships. As long as they left the enemy's naval camp, they could reorganize and prepare for battle.

However, Gan Ning still underestimated the wisdom of Zhou Yu, Guo Jia, Lu Xun, Zhuge Liang and others. Gan Ning's actions were all expected by the enemy.

The remaining navy here had just left the naval camp, and Gan Ning had not yet had time to reorganize his troops for another fight when suddenly countless navy troops from upstream came down the river.

A large flag with the word "Liu" was hung on the leading battleship. The leader was holding a silver spear and had a heroic appearance.

"Gan Ning, Zhao Yun has been waiting for a long time again on the orders of the military advisor." Zhao Yun shouted loudly.

Gan Ning didn't expect Liu Bei to attack at this moment, and he was angry.

"Liu Bei, you little brat, actually have the guts to come and cause trouble for us. You're really rebelling against him."

Gan Ning was about to turn around and fight Zhao Yun.

"General, there are a large number of naval forces attacking from downstream, flying the Sun war flag."

However, at this time, the downstream scout reported loudly.

"Sun Quan."

Gan Ning thought about it for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.
