After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Chen Futu had people from Cao Wei and Shu Han under his command, but he was missing people from Jiangdong.

As night fell, a gust of wind blew into the tent, and a burly man appeared before them. He had a golden-feathered sword at his waist, a feather stuck in his hair, and a carefree and unrestrained smile that revealed a hint of evil.

"This humble general, Gan Ning, pays his respects to my lord."

"General Gan, please rise."

Chen Futu chuckled as he carefully examined the other person, then suddenly found it inexplicably funny.

I wonder if Guan Yu would call Gan Ning "Jerry of Jiangdong" if he saw him.

Next, Chen Futu briefly explained the current situation to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning declared boldly, “My lord, do not worry. I observe that the Feiyunpu River is thirty zhang wide. If Sun Chengzong tries to cross the river by force, he will definitely need a ferry. If he dares to come, I can lead my brothers to wipe them out in the water.”

"With Xingba, I have nothing to worry about."

Chen Futu was very satisfied with Gan Ning. Among his generals, only Guan Yu was good at naval warfare, but Guan Yu was the commander of Longcheng and was not suitable to participate in this kind of war. Gan Ning's arrival was just in time.

Afterwards, Chen Futu summoned Qin Liangyu and An Jingsi and asked them to get acquainted with Gan Xingba. Then the three of them gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

Qin Liangyu entered the tent and whispered, "Your Highness, there's movement on the other side of the river. Sun Chengzong has somehow acquired a batch of ferries, and it seems he plans to launch a strong attack when the main army arrives."

Chen Futu followed Qin Liangyu to the riverbank. He shaded his eyes with his hand and saw that it was indeed Sun Chengzong. He made almost no attempt to conceal himself and ordered his men to line up the ferries on the south bank of the river. At a glance, there were at least dozens of ferries. If they charged in like this, they could kill thousands of people at once.

"Based on the route, their main force should arrive tonight," Qin Liangyu said, estimating the time.

"In battles fought on major rivers, bows and crossbows are the first line of defense. I imagine they would form a shield formation to prevent the White-Spear Soldiers from firing in unison."

After a moment's thought, Chen Futu said to An Jingsi, "General Qin and I will hold off Sun Chengzong here. You take a thousand White Spear Soldiers to the rear to hold off Liu Wendong. Remember, you must scatter his garrison and prevent them from harassing the people."

"Don't worry, my sworn brother, with me here, they won't dare to cross the line."

An Jingsi gathered his men and went off.

Qin Liangyu asked in surprise, "The garrison has at least tens of thousands of troops. Although they are a ragtag army with low combat effectiveness, can he really manage with just a thousand men?"

"Lu Bu could easily defeat the Black Mountain Army with just a few dozen cavalrymen, and An Jingsi could easily lead a thousand White-Spear Soldiers. Besides, he also has good horses, so he will only kill even more fiercely."

Chen Futu was not worried at all that An Jingsi would be defeated. At present, the only person who could threaten him was the reclusive expert in Peach Blossom Forest.

Time passed slowly.

The messenger arranged by Sun Chengzong to deliver the message to Chuzhou successfully reached Liu Wendong.

Looking at the letter, Liu Wendong, enduring the knife wounds on his body, struggled to get up. His sinister expression finally softened into a smile. "Good, good, good! As expected of the Prince of Kaiping, this time we've launched a pincer attack, determined to wipe that Qin brat out of the woods!"

The steward said worriedly, "But Qin Liangyu has also come. Her White Spear Army is renowned throughout the land, and with that fierce general, should we really send troops?"

"The Prince of Kaiping has given the order, so we have no choice but to go. Besides, no matter how capable Qin Liangyu is, can she compare to the Prince of Kaiping?"

Liu Wendong believed that Chen Futu would never have imagined that Chuzhou City would turn from a defensive posture to an offensive one.

"Order the army to split into two groups: 10,000 men will pursue the refugees, and the remaining 30,000 will circle around and block that bastard surnamed Qin! I want to avenge my son!"

The order was given, and troops were dispatched from Chuzhou.

As the sun sets, dust fills the air on the south bank of Feiyunpu.

Chen Futu took out his monocular telescope and looked for a while. It turned out that the army of the King of Kaiping had arrived.

Upon seeing this, Qin Liangyu immediately ordered the cooking to begin, and after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they prepared for a major undertaking.

As for Gan Ning, he hasn't shown up since he left last night, and we don't know how his preparations are going.

The atmosphere tonight is unusually noisy.

Chen Futu had only five or six close followers, while Qin Liangyu led the White-Spear Soldiers to block the bridgehead of Feiyunpu. In addition, Luo Wushuang set up a defense line of a thousand men along the north bank, just waiting for Sun Chengzong to start the battle.

However, Son Seongjong did not take any action.

Looking at the deepening night, Chen Futu smiled knowingly. "The old man seemed to be planning to wait for the Chenzhou soldiers to sneak up before attacking us from both sides. Too bad he won't live to see that day."

Qin Liangyu understood perfectly well that Chen Futu intended to repeat his old trick, replicating the strategy of exhausting Zhao Tianhao's troops that he had used to deal with Pingzi County.

As night fell, there was no movement from the camp on the opposite bank.

Qin Liangyu ordered the drums to be beaten.

dong dong dong-

The drums thundered, and the killing continued unabated.

The desolate night was shattered by a heavy killing intent.

The opposite camp became noisy, and then many torches were lit. Sun Chengzong personally led his troops to the riverbank, only to find that after a drumbeat on the north bank, there was no more movement.

Sun Chengzong frowned and remained silent.

The soldiers around him cursed, "It seems that the Prince of Zhenbei is resorting to the same old tricks, intending to use the same methods he used against Zhao Tianhao against you."

"Go back to camp. No matter how much they clamor, I'll wait there."

Sun Chengzong glanced at the desolate north bank again, then led his troops back to camp.

Chen Futu ordered his men to beat the drums every half hour, but no more troops came out from the south bank camp.

Qin Liangyu said, "Your Highness, it seems that this Prince of Kaiping is more difficult to deal with than Zhao Tianhao of the East Sea."

"Let's go, let's watch a good show."

Chen Futu put on a long robe and stood quietly with Qin Liangyu on the riverbank, waiting.

The wind was unusually strong tonight, and with winter approaching, even the most skilled naval pirates, the Jinfan Pirates, couldn't stay in the water for long.

"But I wonder how General Gan's preparations are going."

Qin Liangyu muttered to herself. Suddenly, a fire broke out in the military camp on the opposite bank of the river. The fire came too abruptly, without any warning.

As the saying goes, when the weather is dry, be careful with fire.

The fire spread rapidly with the help of the wind, and the camp on the south bank in the darkness was instantly thrown into chaos, with screams and shouts filling the air.

"Fire! Help put out the fire!"

"It's not a fire, it's an enemy attack—"

Chaos and disorder are playing out on the other side of the strait.

Fueled by the strong winds, the fire ignited a large area of ​​the camp; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the entire camp was engulfed in flames.

"Your Highness, please wait here for a moment. This humble general will lead the troops to charge into battle." Qin Liangyu mounted her horse and was about to go over.

Chen Futu quickly grabbed her cold little hand and said softly, "No need to trouble yourself. The Prince of Kaiping is not Zhao Tianhao. He has already made preparations."

As expected, after the fire broke out, Sun Chengzong immediately arranged for people to put it out, and then sent people to intercept the culprit.

After issuing the order, he personally led his men to the other side of the bridge.

Chen Futu called out with a smile: "King of Kaiping, you're so old, why don't you sleep properly and instead play with fire like a child?"

"Prince Zhenbei, you've managed to weave a lie into a lie; you certainly have your father's skill!"

Sun Chengzong had not expected Chen Futu to be so clever.

First, they used a strategy of exhausting the enemy, and then suddenly launched a surprise attack amidst the feints and real attacks. Even this seasoned general was caught off guard and suffered a great loss.

The most outrageous thing was that he didn't even know when that small group of northern border soldiers had reached the south bank, which gave him an instinctive sense of unease.
