Chapter 450

"Gongjin, those troops under Gu Linzhi are nothing special after all."

"I think last time you were just too careless and got bluffed by him."

"In reality, with the combat strength of my Sun Family Army, we can completely defeat an army of this level."

Having said that, Sun Ce cast a disdainful glance at the troops under the three generals Pang De, Zhang He, and Zhang Ren not far away.

Zhou Yu did not answer Sun Ce.

Vaguely, he always felt that Gu Yi had a trap.

Moreover, the army brought by the three generals Pang De, Zhang He, and Zhang Ren was clearly not Gu Yi's main force.

But at this moment.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

They were about to engage in close-quarters combat.

Suddenly.

A gust of wind and waves drifted from the southwest direction not far away.

Zhou Yu looked intently.

He saw that a fleet had also appeared on the river in the southwest!

And that fleet was clearly superior to the Sun Family Army in both equipment and appearance.

Yes.

The newcomers were the Jiangxia Naval Force belonging to Huang Zu.

"That scoundrel Huang Zu, he actually took the initiative to send troops?"

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.

According to what Zhuge Liang had said before.

Huang Zu only needed to be responsible for intercepting Gu Yi's defeated troops near Xiakou and did not need to rush to the front line himself.

But now, what was the meaning of this move by Huang Zu?

Compared to Zhou Yu, Sun Ce had far fewer doubts.

In his view, it was clearly that scoundrel Huang Zu who couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to personally come to the battlefield to besiege Gu Yi.

Therefore.

After seeing that the Jiangxia Naval Force had also arrived.

Sun Ce immediately ordered the entire army to attack.

The three generals Pang De, Zhang He, and Zhang Ren had a total of only fifteen thousand troops in their hands.

And the fifteen thousand people Gu Yi gave them were not naval troops, but land infantry.

In other words, this army was the weakest part of the ninety thousand Southern Expeditionary Force under Gu Yi.

Sparks flew, and the sound of warships colliding violently roared on the Yangtze River!

The Sun Family Army's naval combat ability was even better than their land combat ability.

At this moment.

Facing the fifteen thousand troops intercepting them, the Sun Family Army acted as if they had found a group of delicious prey.

Many soldiers in the Sun Family Army were even fantasizing about what kind of rewards they would receive from their master Sun Ce after winning.

However.

Their pipe dreams were shattered into nothing in less than a quarter of an hour!

The Jiangxia Naval Force was getting closer and closer to the battlefield.

But they did not attack the warships under Gu Yi as Sun Ce had imagined.

Instead, they kept approaching the warships of the Sun Family Army!

"Whoosh!!!"

A volley of sharp arrows was fired from the Jiangxia Naval Force's warships!

"This..."

"What is this doing!?"

"Has that scoundrel Huang Zu gone mad?"

Sun Ce roared and bellowed.

His face was full of incomprehension and confusion.

Wasn't the Jiangxia Naval Force an ally?

Why were they shooting arrows at them?

However, Sun Ce's roar did not have any effect.

On the contrary, under his gaze.

Su Fei climbed to the bow of the ship and ordered the Jiangxia Naval Force to launch a "devastating blow" against the Jiangdong Naval Force!

At the same time.

The fifteen thousand troops led by Pang De, Zhang He, and Zhang Ren also began to coordinate with the Jiangxia Naval Force to counterattack.

Although the troops under the three of them were not that skilled in naval warfare.

But Sun Ce and the Sun Family Army were already in a panic under the surprise attack of the Jiangxia Naval Force.

At this moment, they had no time to deal with the three generals Pang De, Zhang He, and Zhang Ren.

In other words, the three generals not only didn't have to suffer heavy losses, but could also pick up quite a few heads behind the Jiangxia Naval Force.

"Bofu, quickly order a retreat!"

"That scoundrel Huang Zu has likely been turned by Gu Linzhi!"

Zhou Yu came to Sun Ce's side and kept urging him.

With Zhou Yu's wisdom, the moment he confirmed the defection of the Jiangxia Naval Force, he naturally judged that Sun Ce had lost all hope of winning this battle.

But what he didn't know was.

Huang Zu had not been turned.

The people who were truly turned were the second-in-command of Jiangxia, Pan Jun, and the third-in-command, Su Fei.

As Huang Zu's deputy general, Su Fei had been stationed in Jiangxia for many years, and his ability to command troops was naturally not weak.

At this moment, he was commanding the Jiangxia Naval Force to launch a surprise attack with ease.

"Damn Huang Zu!"

"You've ruined my grand plan!"

Sun Ce's chest heaved violently.

If Huang Zu were standing in front of him right now.

He would want to grip his spear and stab Huang Zu to death immediately!

It was a pity that Sun Ce's wish could no longer be realized.

Huang Zu had already died at the hands of Pan Jun before him.

Of course, if they knew in the afterlife, perhaps the two would meet again.

……

With the Jiangxia Naval Force joining the battle, the rout of Sun Ce and the Sun Family Army was inevitable.

But what Gu Yi wanted was more than just this effect.

Seeing that the time was about right.

Gu Yi ordered Gan Ning and Gao Shun to lead the Brocade Sail Thieves and the Camp-Crushing Battalion to attack!

Their goal was to slaughter the Sun Family Army while blocking the river to prevent Sun Ce from escaping!

On the other side.

The three generals stationed in Niuzhu, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, and Ling Cao, heard the movement of the great battle outside and thought that Gu Yi was currently being "attacked from multiple sides."

The three generals, overjoyed, immediately ordered all the Niuzhu garrison to pour out, preparing to cooperate with Sun Ce to take down Gu Yi.

However.

Only after they truly boarded the warships did they realize.

Tai Shi Ci and Huang Zhong had already led fifty thousand naval troops under Gu Yi and had been waiting on the river for a long time.

Besides that.

Xu Sheng had also gripped his imitation Ancient Ingot Saber and led hundreds of "Landing Suicide Squads," eyeing the three generals Chen Wu, Dong Xi, and Ling Cao covetously.

The fifty thousand naval troops that Gan Ning had painstakingly trained for many years, although lacking in practical combat experience. ===== CHAPTER 451 =====
