The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 428 The Secret of the Cavalry's Invincibility
At this time, some personal soldiers came in.

"Military Advisor, General Cai is here."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked at each other. Cai Zhong’s warships were stationed in the Han River, so how could they appear here?

Sima Yi thought about it for a moment, immediately understood the reason, and sighed in his heart.

"Xingba, it seems that even if we hadn't come, Military Advisor Jia would have sent people to support you."

The only one who could mobilize the Han River navy to advance eastward was Jia Xu. The two sides were less than half an hour apart. This shows how powerful Jia Xu was.

It was obvious that Jia Xu, who was in control of Qin Feng, discovered the abnormality of Liu Bei and others, and was able to predict the current situation, so he sent Cai Zhong to support them.

Just as Sima Yi said, even without his support, Cai Zhong would be able to attack and Gan Ning would still be safe.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Sima Yi couldn't help but admire how powerful this old man Jia Xu was. Only when he was in Nanjun could he clearly perceive Liu Bei's actions, and Jia Xu, who was far away in Xiangyang, could also perceive the conspiracies and intrigues of Cao and Liu, which showed how powerful the other party's wisdom was.

I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a sorrow to have such a person as a colleague.

Gan Ning waved his hand, looked at the distance coldly and said: "As for Advisor Jia, I'll thank him later. How about it, Zhongda, we still have brothers trapped in the water fort!"

Not only other people, but also his cousin Gan Ying fell behind and his life or death was unknown. He believed that it would not be an easy task for Lu Xun to eliminate tens of thousands of cavalry in a short period of time. There must be many soldiers in Cao Cao's navy camp who were resisting.

"Fight back! My cavalry doesn't have the habit of abandoning their comrades." Sima Yi looked coldly at the navy camp in the distance. Until now, there was still thick smoke billowing over the Chaisang navy camp, and it seemed that there were shouts of killing coming from it.

Since the establishment of the Cavalry Corps, it has never suffered such heavy casualties. Tens of thousands of troops were almost wiped out, and many soldiers were fighting hard at close range.

In this situation, if he turned around and ran away, he would probably not be able to escape military punishment. Now that the naval reinforcements around him had arrived, he might as well kill them and teach these guys a lesson. If things went well, he could not only rescue his comrades, but also severely damage the enemy and seize the Chaisang naval camp.

"Xingba, you command the navy and order Cai Zhong to lead the overall situation to meet me and fight again in Chaisang." Sima Yi finally made a decision.

General Gan Ning, who is the commander-in-chief of the navy, is qualified to be the commander of the navy under the Cavalry Army. This is a power granted by Qin Shou.

With Sima Yi's approval, Gan Ning immediately raised the flag of the Grand Commander on the flagship and ordered Cai Zhong to lead the navy to gather immediately through flag signals.

Cai Zhong did not dare to delay after receiving Gan Ning's order, and quickly ordered the Hanjiang Navy to attack the central army. For a moment, the Lujiang Navy, which had just suffered heavy losses, instantly recovered its original strength, and even its number was greater than the original Lujiang Navy.

Following Gan Ning's order, tens of thousands of troops marched towards the Chaisang camp in a mighty force.

At this moment, the Chaisang camp was still in the midst of fighting. Cao Cao's navy and Sun's warships were the main forces, while the task of monitoring Gan Ning's defeated troops was carried out by Zhao Yun and Liu Feng.

"What a pity, Gan Ning still escaped."

Liu Feng felt very sorry that such a good opportunity slipped away from him.

"The cavalry soldiers fought hard, and it is very difficult to defeat them. It is a great achievement for the young general to force Gan Ning to retreat this time." Zhao Yun did not mean to flatter.

Since Qin Shou rose to power, it was very difficult to defeat the Cavalry Army. The reason why they were able to defeat Gan Ning and cause the Lujiang Navy to suffer heavy losses was because they caught the enemy off guard. It was quite difficult to attack the Cavalry Army from the front and win the battle. Zhao Yun thought he did not have the ability to do so.

"If we can win once, we can win a second time." Liu Feng seemed very confident.

Zhao Yun just nodded after hearing this. In fact, he was not very confident in his heart. It was so difficult to defeat the Cavalry Army. Even Zhuge Liang did not dare to say that he could do it.

"Report, a large group of troops are coming from upstream, they are the navy of Jingzhou."

However, at this moment, a scout reported loudly.

Zhao Yun and Liu Feng looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

"Gan Ning is so arrogant? He just suffered a defeat and now he wants to fight back? The Jingzhou navy doesn't have much reinforcements! Where does he get the courage?" Liu Feng exclaimed.

He didn't believe that Gan Ning had such ability, nor did he believe that the Cavalry Army had such courage.

Zhao Yun ignored him, on the one hand he sent someone to inform Lu Xun and others, on the other hand he prepared his army for battle. He also didn't believe that Gan Ning could recover so quickly, even with reinforcements.

He had just seen clearly that there were not many navy troops in Jingzhou and they could not give him a numerical advantage. He could still hold out for a while and wait for Lu Xun's arrival.

However, when he saw the invading enemy, he immediately realized that something was wrong. The number of enemy warships was large and mighty, as if the Jingzhou navy had come out in full force.

"Send someone to tell Lu Xun and Zhou Tai that the Jingzhou navy has come out in full force. We should retreat for the time being."

Zhao Yun quickly regained his composure. With his limited number of troops, he was no match for the enemy. If he fought head-on, he would only suffer heavy casualties in the end. The navy that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had trained with great difficulty could not be destroyed in his hands.

Retreat is an inevitable choice.

In the Chaisang Navy Camp, Lu Xun is working with Zhou Tai and others to encircle and suppress the remaining troops of the Cavalry Army. The two sides have already engaged in hand-to-hand combat and are fighting repeatedly on the Cavalry Army's warships.

The coalition forces paid a heavy price for every warship they captured. The blood had dyed the surface of the river red, and a large number of corpses were floating on the river, which looked very tragic.

Lu Xun frowned as he looked at the cavalry who were fighting desperately in the distance. This kind of close combat was very cruel to both sides, especially Cao's army.

After all, the opponent is elite.

"These guys are already surrounded and doomed to die. Why don't they surrender?" Cao Ang asked curiously.

"When your family is under the rule of the Cavalry, owning land and houses, receiving money every month, and your children can go to school and receive free medical treatment, and when your soldiers value honor more than their lives, then your soldiers will become like the Cavalry."

Lu Xun said faintly.

He is a man with good intentions. If the Lu family had not been under the rule of Cao Cao, he would have joined Qin Shou. This is a truly wise leader.

Cao Ang was speechless after hearing what Lu Xun said.
