CHAOS(7)

CHAPTER 201 - CHAOTIC CITY(1)

Not long after Kuai Yue left, the four gates of the Fan City were suddenly set on fire, and four soldiers from who knows where were running around the four main streets. This caused the originally bustling crowd of people to immediately fall into chaos, and as the people on the streets fell to the ground, they began to scatter in all directions. The children could not find their mothers, and the husbands could not find their wives, so the chaos began to spread!

At this moment, Cai Zongming was seated in the main hall of Zhao Qiang's mansion, beside him were Zhao Qiang, Sun Yu and Lu Zhi, the other three, and the other six were already dispatched by Cai Zhaoqiang to set fire to the city, causing chaos. At this moment, the noise coming from outside the door made Cai Zongming's mouth curl into a smile, and yesterday, Liu Tong had given him a satisfactory answer, but the letter also reminded him that as long as he left the Fan City, it was the best time to send people there to watch his movements, thus he immediately sent his grandson to watch his movements this morning. On one hand, it was to create chaos. On the other hand, it was to report this to the Liu Alliance, using the flames as the signal, as long as they saw something strange in the Fan City, they would definitely lead their troops here. This way, if the two of them went inside and out, they would definitely be able to seize the Fan City in an instant!

Zhao Qiang looked at the sky. It had been almost an hour since the group set fire to the base, and logically speaking, they had already succeeded, and the chaos outside the door seemed to indicate this point. He couldn't help but look at Cai Mao.

Cai Mao nodded his head, looked at Sun Miao in the blink of an eye, and said with a deep voice, Sun Miao, listen up!

Sun Miao stood up and cupped his hands: I am here!

Cai Mao muttered to himself slightly: In order to prevent Xiangyang from assisting Fan City, I will give you a thousand people. You must sever the floating bridge and cut off the flow of Xiangyang to and fro, do you understand!?

Sun Miao nodded. This general understands! Saying that, he turned around and left!

Seeing that Sun Miao had accepted the order, Lu Zhi stepped forward: commander, what is my job?

Cai Mao squinted his eyes and smiled: You are reckless, I won't stop worrying about anything! After he finished speaking, he deliberately thought for a moment and did not continue!

Hearing that, Lu Zhi Zun anxiously said: commander, we are loyal to you. Look at Sun Miao, he went to the battlefield, you can't just abandon me, right?

Ha ha! Cai Mao laughed, I am worried about you. So, you will follow me. We will lead our troops to seize the city gate and let Liu Xiejun enter!

Hearing that, Lu Zhi immediately beamed with joy: This relationship is good, this lowly general lives!

Seeing that, Zhao Qiang hurriedly asked: commander, what is my mission?

Cai Mao said in a deep voice, You are injured. You can't go on the battlefield and kill the enemy. Stay here! Then, without waiting for Zhao Qiang to open his mouth, he continued, The six of them will be setting fire and should be back soon. When the time comes, you give the order for them to immediately gather all our men and stand guard by the side of the Xiangjiang River to prevent the Xiangyang from crossing the river using a battleship!

Zhao Qiang gave a command and saw that Cai Mao and Lu Zhi had already disappeared outside the gate. He looked up and saw the originally blue sky had suddenly darkened. He knew that a big battle was about to begin!

Outside Fan City City, Liu Xie was sitting in the tent of middle troops, leisurely looking at the Divine Martial Manual. Although Liu Xie's martial arts technique had reached a certain level, there were still many things he did not understand from the Divine Martial Manual, perhaps it was really just as Zhuge Liang said, as long as one could understand one of these techniques, one would be able to fly and become an immortal. Thinking about it, Liu Xie smiled. He put down the book in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest!

emepror, this subject has an urgent report! Outside the tent, Jia Xu stood with his hands cupped in front of his chest. His voice was loud!

Come in! Liu Xie sat back down. He saw Jia Xu push open the curtain and enter the room. Liu Xie smiled: What's the matter?

Jia Xu said: Just now, scouts reported that it was a mess within Fan City City. There was even thick smoke coming out from it, it seems like there was a fire!

What? When Liu Xie heard this, a glimmer suddenly exploded in his eyes. Follow me out to take a look!

Liu Xie and Jia Xu came out of the big tent and went on their way up the hill, but not far away from Fan City City, they saw thick smoke billowing and red flames mixed in, and the soldiers at the top of the city wall were choked by the black smoke, Ju Du bent down to cough, and many people had already turned around to look at the city from the top of the city wall, calling it a group. Seeing this, Liu Xie quickly asked Liu Tie: Did the scouts say how long this situation had lasted?

About an hour! Jia Xu said.

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows, That means Kuai Yue is definitely not in the city. Otherwise, how could the fire not be under control for such a long time? After he finished speaking, he came to a realization, It's Cai Mao!

Jia Xu nodded, I thought so too!

Liu Xie suddenly laughed out loud: The heavens are really helping me! After he had finished speaking, he said to Wu Tie, Send orders to the three armies immediately, we can set off. Our target, the Fan City, will take over this city today!

The twenty thousand strong army, Haoxiang Tang, and directly pressed on the Fan City s. The most important point was that the chaos had persisted until now, and their commanders had not appeared, making it difficult for them to react, as the twenty thousand strong soldiers who did not have the ability to supervise did not dare to rush forward, because there were a lot of stupid soldiers who did not know what was going on inside the city, causing them to not have the mood to stand guard. Most importantly, the chaos had persisted until now, and even their chief had not appeared yet. What should he do with these soldiers? Seeing that the enemy troops had arrived at the city, many soldiers had the thought of escaping!

Ah! A heart-wrenching scream came from within the city; then came the second and third sounds. The soldiers at the top of the city wall were startled and turned their heads to look, only to see an army rushing out from nowhere, rushing towards the city gate.

Liu Xie's twenty thousand strong army arrived in the blink of an eye, while the city was in chaos. The enemy army numbered around three thousand, and although the city was guarded by five thousand men, the guards guarding the city gate were only eight hundred men, eight hundred against three thousand, which was no doubt a shot in the arm, and now they were facing a dilemma about whether to go down the city to rescue the soldiers defending city, or stand in front of the city and fight off the enemy. Without the commander making a decision, they had no way to defend themselves, and at this moment, the soldiers under the city could no longer hold back.

Brothers, let's go down to the city to help! At this moment, an impassioned voice suddenly sounded out. In this kind of situation, there would often be people willing to be the leader, because this was indeed an opportunity for advancement! But the condition was that he had to have sufficient ability. Before the soldier finished his words, a Wolfteeth Arrow suddenly flew over and struck him right in the chest. With a thump sound, the soldier fell into the city! The soldiers on top of the city wall, upon seeing this, immediately dodged aside like frightened birds, hiding their bodies behind the city walls!

Just then, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly shouted, It's the Great commander! When he said this, a group of soldiers stuck their heads out and saw a man with a golden helmet and armor, holding a blade, committing suicide. This man was none other than the Great commander of the Jingzhou and Water Army, Cai Mao!

The soldiers all looked at Cai Mao and shouted, at this time, Cai Mao also heard the shouts at the top of the city, he saw the soldiers sticking their heads out, looking at him, their eyes were filled with surprise, shock, and immediately tore off their helmets, then shouted loudly: Everyone stop, the Jingzhou and water army commander Cai Mao are here!

When the soldiers saw him reveal his looks, they all stopped. Cai Mao suddenly pointed at the soldiers at the top of the city wall and shouted loudly: Brothers listen up, that Liu Biao was unkind and harmed me in the Jiangxia, so I, Cai Mao, have come back this time to seek revenge. If everyone is willing to follow me, I will definitely reward you heavily!

Hearing this, the city guard was slightly startled, they were also from the Jingzhou Water Army, and Cai Mao was naturally their former officer, but they never thought, Cai Mao and Liu Biao actually went against each other, leading an army to seize the city, now that Kuai Yue was not here, and there was Liu Xie's twenty thousand strong army outside the city, if they were to fight with Cai Mao now, then they would have to die, it could be said that right now is the time for them to choose death, if they did not submit to Cai Mao, then it would definitely be a road of death, but if they submitted, then this life and death situation was at stake, so after hearing Cai Mao's summons, they all became silent, because no one dared to open their mouth!

Seeing that, Cai Mao smiled, he could summon the Jingzhou and water army's Thirteen Wu Steel, so it would not be difficult for him to insert a few spies into the city, he looked over, and suddenly a soldier kneeled down: I am willing to submit to the Great commander!

As long as someone was willing to take the lead, the newcomers would naturally be many. All of the soldiers at the head of the Fan City had knelt down one after the other, and shouted loudly, We are willing to submit to the Great commander!

Cai Mao burst into laughter when he saw this. Then, he pointed at the soldiers and said, Come on, open the gate for me!

CHAPTER 202 - CHAOTIC CITY(2)

Outside of Fan City City, Liu Xie's twenty thousand strong army had already rushed to the city gates, but at this moment, not a single soldier was seen. Liu Xie was slightly surprised, he immediately reined in his horse and stopped to look, but at this time, the city gates of Fan City suddenly let out a creaking sound, and it suddenly opened! Liu Xie looked up and saw thousands of soldiers carrying a golden-armored general. The general slowly took two steps forward and knelt on one knee, General Cai Mao pays his respect to Your Majesty! As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of soldiers knelt down as well.

Liu Xie looked Cai Mao up and down. He was in his early forties and his eyes were sharp like a torch. At the corner of his mouth was a small moustache, revealing a trace of shrewdness! Liu Xie smiled, Please get up, General Cai! He then shouted, All soldiers, get up!

Cai Mao stood up and cupped his hands towards Liu Xie: Your Majesty, this lowly general has fulfilled his promise and taken down the gates of Fan City. I hope that Your Majesty will remember what you promised me!

Of course! Liu Xie's expression changed, How can I forget General Cai's great achievement! With that, he turned and looked towards Fan City City, only to see that the city was still in chaos. The guards did not know what had happened, and all of them were scurrying around on the streets!

Seeing this, Cai Mao hurriedly took a step forward and cupped his hands, In that case, please enter the city, Your Majesty!

Liu Xie nodded his head, turned around and said to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu: Zhou Tie, Yunchang, you two will lead 5000 troops, first enter Fan City to stabilize the situation, do not recklessly kill and downgrade the troops!

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu immediately accepted the order, but Liu Tie suddenly said, Your Majesty, I will have my men accompany the two generals into the city. Perhaps there is something I can use!

Liu Xie nodded his head, as the commander of the Jingzhou Water Army, he was the one who brought out all these soldiers, with him here, it would be much more convenient for him to do things, he only saw Cai Mao turning to a general beside him and said: Lu Zhi, immediately follow the two generals into the city, remember, release my name, and take down my rank!

The reason he wanted Lu Zhi to follow them into the city was to reduce the slaughter between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and to recruit more troops. One must know, these people were mostly the water army of the Jingzhou, so long as they revealed their names, with the current situation, most people would definitely choose to surrender, and with these troops, he would definitely accept them as his own, although Liu Xie agreed to let him be the Feudal Provincial, but Cai Mao was still worried, since he had never interacted with Liu Xie, and did not understand the temperament of this young man. If Liu Xie were to overturn the bridge over the river, and turn the face of the youth, then he could still rely on his own military strength. After seeing Guan Yu and Liu Tie leading the troops into the Fan City and starting to rectify the situation, Cai Mao turned around and said to Wu Tie: Then this general will clear the way for His Majesty. We will enter the Fan City right now!

Liu Xie nodded slightly. Cai Mao immediately led his men to change their formation and take the lead to drive into the city! Beside Liu Xie, Gan Ning's eyes were flickering with killing intent. The weapon in his hand had already changed to the Growing Bow. He urged his horse to Liu Xie's side and asked in a low voice: Your Majesty, are you going to make a move now?

Liu Xie shook his head and said softly, No rush, this Cai Mao is very beneficial for us! Saying that, he shook the reins slightly, causing the Jade Lion to increase its pace and follow closely behind! It turned out that ever since Liu Xie had received Cai Mao's letter, he had planned to use Cai Mao to seize the Fan City, and at the same time leak out Cai Mao's whereabouts, so that Liu Biao could suppress Cai Mao. This way, if they restrained each other, they would be able to give him the greatest benefit, and then, in order to prevent any changes to Cai Mao, he had secretly instructed Gan Ning to kill Cai Mao! Although he had also expected that Kuai Yue would leave the Fan City at the behest of Wu Tie, he did not expect that the day would come so quickly. Moreover, Cai Mao had seized this opportunity even faster than he had expected, and because of this, Zhou Tie was not restricted by Liu Biao, so Liu Xie had temporarily changed his mind and if he moved now, then Cai Mao's soldiers would definitely fall into chaos. At that time, he would have to give the order to suppress them, but this was not what Liu Xie had hoped for, so he stopped. If they had to rely solely on the floating bridge to pass the attack, it would be impossible. Furthermore, Liu Biao himself had the ability to break the floating bridge, so in order to seize the Xiangyang, they could only go through the Xiangjiang water route, but Liu Xie only had Gan Ning under his command, and most of these soldiers were not trained by the troll army. Thus, in order to seize the Xiangyang, Liu Xie still wanted to rely on Cai Mao and his subordinates! Thinking of this, Liu Xie smiled faintly. Since he wanted to use Cai Mao, then he naturally had to squeeze out all of his value!

That meant that he now had twenty thousand soldiers of his own, which meant that he had the strength to compare with Liu Xie. If he took down the Xiangyang, Liu Xie would not fulfill his promise, and at any cost, he would definitely fight Liu Xie to the death. But, this Liu Xiewen was weak, so he probably did not dare to do anything to him. Thinking of this, he proudly looked behind him. What he did not know was that a moment ago, he had already circled around the gates of hell!

After a quarter of an hour, the army entered the city, one of the main streets had been cleared out by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and on the side of the street, the shouting and killing still continued, the lion-like roars of Liu Tie were still faintly heard. Liu Xie stood on the stirrups of the horses and looked into the distance, only to see that countless of the enemy troops had dropped their weapons and were retreating to the side in a row, Liu Xie's leader, the leader of the group, was precisely Lu Zhi, who was sent by Sun Tie just now! His brows slightly creased. Cai Mao did not give his troops to him, and instead secretly moved out. Heh! He was probably feeling uneasy but since he had already declared his allegiance, then as long as the Lord General died in an accident, these soldiers would all be his. Thinking of this, he readjusted his body and sat on the horse's back!

He turned around and climbed onto the city wall at the side. In the distance, he saw that the floating bridge leading to the north and south had already disappeared in a vast area of smoke, so he guessed that Sun Miao had already succeeded, but it was impossible for Kuai Yue to return back to Fan City. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered a soldier: "You immediately go to the Sun family's Steel Manor to send me a message, instructing him to gather all of our troops.

Cai Mao was truly afraid that Liu Xie would harm him, so he summoned his army to prevent any mishaps. He had always been careful when doing things, not saying that he would do anything, but as long as he could think of something, he would never be negligent! Just as he was descending from the city, a cavalryman reported: Reporting to commander, General Sun had me report that the pontoon was already destroyed. However, at Xiangyang Pier, hundreds of battleships were already lined up, seemingly heading towards Fan City!

What? Cai Mao was slightly surprised. Liu Biao's speed was so fast! Not to mention that his Fan City was in a mess right now, it was extremely easy for him to find a way out. Even if he and Liu Xie didn't have a united front, if they were to fight, it was very possible that they would attack each other from their families, so when he heard the news, he immediately said to the soldier, Immediately inform Sun Miao to gather all the warships, I will be there shortly! Just as the soldier was about to leave with his orders, he heard Cai Mao suddenly shout, Wait! The soldier was surprised for a moment. Cai Mao then said, Wait a moment! Saying that, he turned around and ran towards Liu Xie who was behind him. Now that Liu Xie had entered the city, why would he need him to deal with Liu Biao? Besides, wasn't watching a battle between the tigers exactly what he wanted?

On the horse, Liu Xie saw Cai Mao rushing over with a panicked expression and hurriedly asked, General Cai, what's the matter?

Cai Mao hurriedly said: Reporting to emepror, Liu Biao has already sent out more than a hundred ships and is preparing to cross Xiangjiang and attack my Fan City!

Liu Xie replied with an Oh. It was not strange for Liu Biao to have such a reaction. He had already made up his mind and said hurriedly: If so, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble General Cai. I will immediately lead your troops to issue Xiangjiang and stop Liu Biao's advance!

Hearing that, Cai Mao sneered in his heart, he had already guessed that Liu Xie would plan like this, but just as he was about to give up, he heard Liu Xie suddenly snatch it away: General Cai, don't decline, our soldiers have just moved in, firstly, we do not know much about Fan City, and secondly, our soldiers are not used to water battles, it is difficult for them to win, and General Cai, as the Great commander of the Jingzhou Army, not only is good at water battles, but he also knows how to arrange the troops for the Jingzhou, so, in this battle, we can only entrust General Cai!

If Liu Xie was really not good at water battles, then facing the Jingzhou Army which was used to water battles, he would only lose once. However, this battle really could not be lost, if he lost, Wu Junyi's troops could take advantage of the situation to come to shore, which would be a huge loss, so Liu Xie nodded his head, but if he was going to engage in a blood fight with Liu Biao, then it would be a waste of Liu Xie's effort. He wanted to end this, but he was suddenly stunned, so why should he fight with Liu Biao? Since Liu Xie gave the order, he would fight, since he cannot be too presumptuous right now, but as long as he sends out troops, he will only defend and not attack. After facing against Liu Biao for a long time, Liu Xie might not have the patience to wait in Fan City, so at that time, in order to obtain Xiangyang, he will definitely lead his troops to attack. Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled: General's life!

CHAPTER 203 - CHAOTIC CITY(3)

He wanted to pass through the floating bridge and rush back to the Fan City, but just as he was about to cross the floating bridge, the floating bridge that was over the top of the Fan City City drooped down, and like a belt that had been hung from the top of the city wall, it swung straight down towards the Xiangyang. And halfway through, with a bang, it fell into the river, causing a large amount of splashes!

Kuai Yue was secretly shocked. If he was not a step too slow, he would have already fallen into the river and become the food of the fish! He immediately realized, Cai Mao had made his move. Just as he was about to return to the Xiangyang, Sun Tie had made his move, so Cai Mao was afraid that the Fan City was in danger, not to mention that Liu Xie's twenty thousand strong army was by the side outside the Fan City, if they saw this situation, how could they possibly let go of this opportunity? Kuai Yue cursed in his heart. If this Cai Mao were to make a move now, wouldn't he be allowing Liu Xie to reap the rewards while sitting on the ground? But when he thought about it again, he suddenly realized that with Cai Mao's shrewdness, he was afraid that he and Liu Xie might already have an affair. Thinking of this, his heart shivered, and he ordered one of his personal guards: Quickly, go and report to Lord Feudal Provincial, tell him Fan City is critical!

After a while, Liu Biao personally led a group of civilian minister s to the city gate tower. Looking into the distance, he saw that the fire within the Fan City was becoming more and more arrogant, and only reflected red light on the surface of the river. If the Fan City was lost, then the Xiangyang would no longer have anything to rely on. If he had known earlier, he would not have recalled Kuai Yue at this time. His Fan City had lost its backbone, which was why the current situation was like this, and he was extremely anxious. He quickly turned to the officials and asked: Everyone, what should we do with the current situation?

Now that the floating bridge had been broken, it meant that there was a complete separation between the Fan City and the Fan City. However, it was impossible to know the specific situation of the Fan City, there was a cloud over the military strategy, knowing one's own strength and the enemy's strength, it was impossible to avoid hundreds of battles, but the current Fan City was a blur to them. Whether it was Cai Mao against the Fan City, or Liu Xie or Liu Xie and Cai Mao working together, all of this was unknown, so no one dared to presumptuously come to a conclusion!

Seeing that, Liu Biao's gaze turned and finally stopped on Kuai Yue's face. Right now, he could only count on Kuai Yue, so he hurriedly asked, Unconventional, do you have any way to save him?

Kuai Yue gazed at the Fan City for a long time, then suddenly turned towards Liu Biao and said, Right now, our Fan City is still in a state of chaos, which means to say that our troops and horses are not completely controlled by the enemy, then we can immediately send out our troops from the Xiangyang, cross the Xiangjiang and fight our way across the river. If we are accurate in terms of time, after we reach shore, we can interact with the existing troops and horses, and attack from the inside out, maybe we can even reverse the situation!

Liu Biao was currently in a daze. Upon hearing Kuai Yue's words, he hurriedly nodded: Strange, then I'll leave everything to you. I will immediately send out 10,000 troops to cross Xiangjiang!

Fan City Pier, since there were reports from soldiers, that over a hundred ships were moving towards Fan City, under Liu Xie's orders, they immediately gathered over eight thousand people under his command, and at the same time, dragged all the ships with Fan City to the pier. Cai Mao personally picked over seventy of the battleships, and put them into the water, and at this moment, Liu Biao's men had already reached the heart of the river, and the corners of Cai Mao's mouth curled into a smile, this was his old trade, who could match up to him on the ground? He was secretly pleased with himself as he jumped onto the largest battleship. Waving the command flag in his hand, he shouted loudly, Sail up!

If Cai Mao lost, then he would have to set up an emergency defensive line at the pier to prevent Liu Biao from crossing the river. But if Liu Biao lost, Cai Mao would be able to close in on him, and perhaps today, he would be able to seize both the city and the city of Fan City, so he was in a hurry to reach this height. If he wanted to witness the battle on the river, would the result be as he had expected? However, none of this was known!

On the river surface, the distance between the two armies was less than 200 steps. In another 100 steps, it would be within the range of the bow and arrow. Cai Mao stood on the deck while the nine great Liu steels were in the command position on each battleship. He was going against the wind, but Liu Biao was going with the flow, so if he were to enter the city with his bow and arrow, no matter if it was in range or level of strength, he would not be able to match him. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: Prepare the Stone-throwing Machine!

Although the Stone-throwing Machine was small, it had a range of 120 steps, which meant that as long as he entered another 80 steps, they would be able to attack his opponent first. And this kind of small Stone-throwing Machine, was designed by Cai Mao when he was the commander of the Jingzhou and the Water Army, but because the Jingzhou had always been safe, this kind of Stone-throwing Machine had never been onto the battlefield, and because of this, other than the Thirteen Wu Steel under Cai Mao, no one else knew about it, so most people did not know his true usage, because if he was used to attack the city, the strength of this Stone-throwing Machine was simply too small!

Cai Mao turned around and looked around, he had two Stone-throwing Machine s on each ship, now there were more than 70 ships lined up in a straight line, there were two Stone-throwing Machine s in the bow of each ship, and all the soldiers were moving head-like stones out from the cabin, piling them all on the side of the Stone-throwing Machine!

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two groups of people was less than 150 steps. Cai Mao raised the flag and said: Get ready! He gave the order, and all the soldiers moved at the same time, they were the first to place the stone on top of the Stone-throwing Machine. After a short while, Cai Mao suddenly shouted: Fire!

Whoosh! Whiz! In a short moment, the wind was blowing on the surface of the river, hundreds of stones of different sizes streaked across the sky, flying straight towards Liu Biao Jun's fleet. Although the rock was not big, but because the Stone-throwing Machine s were elastic, compared to the huge Stone-throwing Machine s that attacked the city, these small sized Stone-throwing Machine s were able to increase the speed of the stones, and it was also because of this that their speed increased, the strength of the stones also increased when they landed on the ground!

As soon as the two groups of horses and soldiers entered the 120th step, he immediately ordered all the archers to be ready. One had to know that when it came to the West Wind, his archers could probably launch an attack at the 105th step, so as long as he managed to seize the opportunity, he could be the first to attack the enemy army and gain the upper hand. However, just as he was deep in his thoughts, countless head-sized stones suddenly fell from the opposite side, and with a strong whistling sound, Kuai Yue was slightly shocked.

Originally, the archers were all gathered at the bow of the ship, and when they heard Kuai Yue's command, they all scattered. But even with their fast reaction speed, they were still unable to dodge the stones' attack, and more or less, a few miserable cries came from the bow of each ship. Kuai Yue was secretly shocked, he never thought that the other party's battleship was actually equipped with Stone-throwing Machine, and he originally wanted to seize the initiative, but now, this opportunity was given to the opponent for nothing!

Just as they were about to take a breath, another round of rain of stones arrived, but fortunately, they had the experience and immediately scattered in all directions without waiting for Kuai Yue's command. To their surprise, this time, not only the stone, it was also surrounded by a halo of red light, and when the stone landed on the bow of the ship, Kuai Yue found that these stones were coated with a layer of fire oil. The other party must have ignited the fire oil before shooting the stone over.

Kuai Yue was shocked, he raised his head and saw that the sails of dozens of ships were ablaze, the flames were using the wind to ignite the sails, the more the fire burned, the more anxious the flames became, it turned out that the flaming stone was not aimed at the bow archers, but at their sails. Seeing this, Kuai Yue immediately shouted, Remove the sails, remove all the sails that are burned! Most sailboats did not only have a single sail, so as long as the burning sail was removed, the ship would still be under control!

Because they were worried that the other sails would be burned, their speed could be imagined. When Kuai Yue had settled everything, the distance between the two armies was already less than 90 steps, and at this moment, Cai Mao had already removed his Stone-throwing Machine, and the soldiers had already changed into their bows and set them on the side of the ship. Kuai Yue had already regrouped his troops, and almost at the same time, he heard Cai Mao and Kuai Yue shouting: Shoot!

CHAPTER 204 - CHAOTIC CITY(4)

On the surface of the river, a strong wind was blowing and a rain of clouds was forming. The two armies clashed, their arrows shooting forth like locusts, their shouts loud enough to shake the heavens! As Kuai Yue's army closed in, the arrows that filled the sky rained down on them like raindrops in a gale. It was as if they wanted to kill Cai Mao's fleet on the surface of the river in an instant!

Seeing this, Cai Mao immediately ordered the soldiers to place the huge shield on the side of the ship to form a tight defensive wall. At the same time, he ordered the archers to hide behind the shield to wait for the enemy to finish firing. However, because of their powerful shields, the killing effect of both sides was not very obvious. Therefore, Kuai Yue immediately ordered the ship's helmsmen to speed up their advance, but once the two armies clashed, the advantage in numbers would be especially evident.

Once the fleet of two armies came into contact with each other, a long-range weapon like a bow and arrow would be useless. When the time came, he would have to rush to the other side of the ship and engage in close combat to win the war, but since the enemy side had over ten thousand men and horses, he himself only had less than seven thousand men, but the gap between them was more than three thousand more. It was impossible for Cai Mao to fight against Kuai Yue head on, so after seeing Kuai Yue increase his speed, he immediately ordered all the helmsmen to stop advancing!

Seeing this, Kuai Yue sneered in his heart. The other party must have realized that their forces could not compete with his. Thinking of this, he spoke to his personal guards: Quick, make all the helmsmen move faster! The personal guard accepted the order and immediately passed down the order!

The distance between the two was less than 50 steps. Cai Mao was standing at the bow of the ship with a smile flashing across his eyes. He suddenly raised the flag in his hand and said, Assemble the formation!

When Sun Miao and Lu Zhi heard Cai Mao's order, they responded to the other six Sun Steelers. Each of them suddenly carried a yellow flag in their hands, fluttering in the wind, as if they were following Liu Tie's call. The fleet suddenly moved left and right, gradually forming a V-shaped formation.

Kuai Yue was anxious inside, if he could not quickly capture the fleet in front of him, once the Fan City stabilized, then he would be at a disadvantage. Thinking of this, without hesitation, the battleship flew down with the wind, just like an arrow leaving the bow, suddenly, the distance between the two sides was only around 20 steps!

Upon seeing this, Cai Mao suddenly turned around and shouted, Change the formation! Just as Kuai Yue was about to give the order to charge forward, the Cai Mao fleet suddenly transformed, first turning into a bald duck, then into a wagging carp, sometimes forming a square, sometimes forming a circle. The changes between attack and retreat made Kuai Yue unclear, Kuai Yue was surprised, originally Cai Mao's team had been in a hurry since the Fan City, and they also did not hang any flags, thus, Kuai Yue had not been able to understand where they came from, but now, he could see the change in their thoughts, and immediately went up to the guard deck from the guards to the guards in a loud voice: But, commander?

Seeing Kuai Yue come out and ask questions, Cai Mao strode forward and sneered: "Hehe, so it turns out to be commander, and that's Cai Mao!

Therefore, he wanted to take a gamble and put all the blame on Huang Zu. Whether or not he could persuade Cai Mao to return, if he could let Cai Mao find his way back at this time, it would be equivalent to reinforcements from the great army of tens of thousands. Thinking of this, he immediately said, commander Cai, Lord Feudal Provincial has always been kind to you, how could you do such a disloyal thing?

Cai Mao knew Kuai Yue wanted to win him over, but he was not an idiot. What Liu Biao did to him was already a fact, if he were to return to Xiangyang now, wouldn't he be like a lamb entering a tiger's den? Besides, he had already betrayed Liu Biao once, so why would he treat him sincerely? Thinking of this, he shouted in anger, Kuai Yue, don't talk so much nonsense. Liu Biao is heartless to me, so of course I am unrighteous!

Seeing that, Kuai Yue advised: "I think there is a misunderstanding between commander and Lord Feudal Provincial. The matter of placing the commander under house arrest was entirely Huang Zu's decision.

Hahaha! When Cai Mao heard this, he suddenly laughed towards the sky: How much benefit did Liu Biao give you for CaiYi? It actually made you so lowly! As soon as his words fell, he immediately said coldly: There's nothing between you and me to say. If you want to take back your Fan City, then come at me with all you got!

Kuai Yue saw Cai Mao blocking his words, and knew that this battle was unavoidable, but he also understood, that Cai Mao had been in the Jingzhou surface for ten years, and he himself was just a mere scholar, so he could be said to be a temporary commander. If one were to talk about the fighting skills of this army, he might not even be Cai Mao's opponent, but right now, if they could not defeat Wu Tie's army, then the Fan City would completely fall, and this would be a catastrophic crisis for the entire Xiangyang! As such, he had no other way out. He immediately ordered the drum to assist them, and over a hundred warships immediately flocked over!

When Cai Mao saw this situation, he immediately shouted, Change! At this moment, Cai Mao's battleship suddenly retreated, allowing Kuai Yue to charge in. However, just at this moment, the two wings of the Wu Steel Army suddenly closed, wrapping the more than ten battleships into the formation, and the battleships that followed were blocked on the outside. The Wu Steel Army immediately released dozens of light boats from the formation, drew their bows, slaughtered the battleships in the formation, and destroyed the battleships in the fray, and then the Wu Iron Army's battleship once again sucked in Kuai Yue's battleship.

Kuai Yue saw that the situation was not good and immediately ordered the entire army to stop their advance. As long as he did not launch an attack, Cai Mao's formation would not be able to make things difficult for him.

Seeing that Kuai Yue had stopped moving, Cai Mao waved the flag again, and all the battleships started to move forward, charging straight into Kuai Yue's formation. Kuai Yue was slightly surprised, but at this moment, the formation changed again, the two wings of the army of Wu Steel, several battleships suddenly charged into Kuai Yue's formation, and then suddenly encircled him. At the same time, all the battleships also charged into the formation, piercing through Kuai Yue's fleet, and it was unknown how Cai Mao did it do it, but these incoming battleships miraculously separated all of Kuai Yue's ships from the formation. That was why Cai Mao had used the same method to pick up a bargain!

This is a formation? Liu Xie, who was standing on the tallest watchtower in the city, was momentarily stunned upon seeing this scene. As someone who had come from a new world, honestly speaking, he was not interested in these so-called formations and thought that they were all exaggerated, but now that he saw Cai Mao's formation on the water, he felt that it was very impressive. If he could also set up this formation, would he be able to pass through Liu Biao's barrier on Xiangjiang?

Beside him, Jia Xu looked at Liu Xie asking about it and quickly put away his surprised face. He said: If I am not wrong, this should be the Water Bird Fish Dragon Array!

Water Bird Fish Dragon Array? Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu doubtfully! Jia Xu hurriedly explained, I've only read about this formation in books! Then he paused and continued, This formation holds the five elements in harmony. The formation pattern is based on the water bird, snake, fish, water bird, beak and beak, and it gradually devours the enemy's horses and horses. I've only read about it in the books and have never seen anyone use it before. However, according to the records in the books, the formation's changes will be extended and will not be beneficial to the war on land. It's suitable for fighting against the water!"

The changes will be extended, which will not be conducive to the war on the land. It's a good idea to go against the current! Liu Xie nodded. Wasn't this Cai Mao's current situation? He looked over and saw that, as Jia Xu said, Cai Mao's formation was like a snake's water, or like a fish dragon, changing into a completely different one.

At this moment, the battle on the surface of the river intensified, and Kuai Yue didn't have time to think too much. Suddenly, the front of the army caved in, and the formation of the navy changed into a single word, like a water snake swimming in water, the snake opening and closing its mouth, as if it could swallow everything in front of it in one gulp. Seeing this, Kuai Yue's face turned pale, thinking back to Cao Cao Cao Cao's attack on Jiangdong, before the battle of Chibi, even the famous general Zhou Yu was amazed at the Water Stronghold and formation Liu Tie had set, and thought that it was invulnerable, so he used Jiang Qian to get rid of Cai Mao first, from this alone, it could be seen that Liu Tie was not a match for the water army in these three countries, not to mention Kuai Yue, even Zhou Yu who was an expert in water battles, was not confident of winning against Liu Tie, so at this moment, Kuai Yue retreated, since it was impossible to break through Cai Mao, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, he retreated. The moment he finished speaking, the dozens of warships immediately turned around and flew back, pushing up layers of waves as they headed towards Xiangyang!

He was only trying to help Liu Xie now, he still needed Liu Xie to attack Xiangyang. Cai Mao definitely would not waste his forces at this time, with his strength now, he could not compete with Liu Xie, and he was not a match for Liu Biao, so he had to be on guard. Thinking of this, Cai Mao looked at the distant Kuai Yue, turned around and shouted: We also need to retreat!

CHAPTER 205 - ZHAN XIANGYANG(1)

Within the Fan City, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had already reported that the war on the river surface had come to an end, and in the Fan City, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had already arrived. Because of Cai Zai's banner, most of the ten thousand soldiers in the city had already surrendered, but Guan Yu was confused because the information they received before they attacked the Fan City was that the Fan City was more than thirty thousand. Now, after taking care of Cai Zai's eight thousand soldiers and lowering the number of his soldiers, there were still ten thousand soldiers who did not know about their whereabouts. It was also good for him to arrange a few more troops. Thinking about the superb Water Bird Fish Dragon Array on the surface of the river, Liu Gan's heart skipped a beat. He turned to Jia Hua and said: Wen He, do you know that Water Bird Fish Dragon Array?

Jia Xu was slightly stunned, then immediately shook his head: That Water Bird Fish Dragon Array, although on the surface, it's not difficult to understand, but it's endless and complex. If not for the experience of commanding the water army and the long time spent practicing, it would be extremely difficult for it to display the true effects of the Water Bird Fish Dragon Array, and on the contrary, it would be trapped by one's own forces, making it difficult to take even one step at a time, throwing the opportunity to the enemy for nothing!

It looks like I am truly lacking too much in the water army. Not to mention that I have to make a move on the Jiangdong, how can I fight against it in the future without the water army, and how can I fight against it, so the moment I obtain the Xiangyang, I must immediately begin the training of the water army. Originally, the number of the commander in the water army was limited, but now, this Cai Zai has actually hidden ten thousand troops and horses. In the entire Three Kingdoms era, only Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Huang Gai were skilled in the water army. In the entire Three Kingdoms era, only Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Huang Gai were proficient in the water army. Guan Yu? Liu Tong secretly shook his head. Although Guan Yu was skilled in water battles, compared to those guys from Jiangdong, he was nothing. Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, if he died, wouldn't there be Zhang Yun? He secretly made up his mind that he was going to discuss the strategy of seizing Xiangyang with Jia Hua. But at that moment, Sun Qian, the Cai Zun Army's helper, hurriedly came over and reported: Reporting to Your Majesty, Xiangjiang battle, our army has successfully stopped Kui Yue's army, and we have withdrawn from the enemy!

He could clearly see from the watchtower that the victory was indeed beautiful, but Cai Mao did not take advantage of the victory to attack and instead withdrew his troops. Obviously, he did not plan to give his all for his own sake. I have a war to discuss with him. "

Seeing Liu Xie ask, Sun Miao hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, In reply to Wu Tie's question, commander was shot by a stray arrow in the battle just now. Her injuries are very serious, I have already arranged for people to send him back to the Sun Steel Manor to recuperate!

Injured? Liu Xie and Jia Xu looked at each other. Ju Du's eyes flashed with surprise! He heard Sun Miao say: Yes, he is injured, because in the battle with Kuai Yue, the enemy forces held the absolute advantage, our army fought with all our might, and suffered heavy casualties, but unfortunately, commander was also shot by a bow and arrow. The doctor said, the wound is only an inch away from the heart, so our lives are not in danger!

Heavy casualties? Liu Xie locked gazes with Jia Xu once again. In the battle just now, the two of them witnessed it with their own eyes. If there were heavy casualties, then it would be appropriate to use this to describe Kuai Yue. Liu Xie slightly smiled. Others might have exaggerated their victory in order to win a prize, but this Cai Mao was the opposite of what he was thinking. The reason for this was quite intriguing! When he thought of this, he hurriedly said seriously, commander Cai has helped me block Liu Biao, which is why I suffered such a heavy injury. Lead the way, I want to visit you myself!

In the manor, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted in the air as soon as they entered. The servants of Lili's manor ran back and forth, but no one knew what they were busy with, but Liu Xie and Jia Xu were led into the manor by Sun Miao.

In Zhao Qiang's bedroom, the one that was lying down was not Zhao Qiang who was suffering from the torture of using a military rod. Zhao Qiang was standing at the side, on the bed, while Cai Mao was lying down with his upper body bare. His face was pale golden, his chest was tightly wrapped in white gauze, and a mass of blood was faintly discernible.

Just as Liu Xie stepped into the room, Sun Tie and the rest of the nine Deputy General immediately knelt down to pay their respects, but at this time, the doctor wiped off his sweat, as if he had expended a lot of energy and effort. His face turned slightly pale, Liu Xie stepped forward, and seeing Wu Tie staring at him with half closed eyes, he hurriedly asked the doctor beside him: Doctor, how is commander Cai's injury?

The doctor quickly replied with a cautious expression: To reply emepror, commander Cai was shot in the chest by an arrow, but luckily the wound deviated away from the heart, this little one already took out the arrow, and did not die, but if I wanted to recover, I would need time to recuperate!

Liu Xie nodded. As long as there's no threat to our lives! He quickly walked forward and sat down beside Cai Mao's bed. When Cai Mao saw Liu Xie was here, he stood up to pay his respects, but Liu Xie stopped him: You are injured, so there is no need to be polite!

Cai Mao lay down again quietly, and said in a weak voice, "This general has not failed in his mission, and finally has stopped
