    When Sun Yu heard that Xu Sheng had stolen a batch of warships and left, it was too late to pursue him, so he had no choice but to accept it.

    Xu Sheng ordered his people to travel all night, and finally arrived at the waters of Yamen Garrison City in the morning.

    At this moment, Lu Bu's attack had already reached a fever pitch.

    Xu Sheng immediately led his troops to land on the shore and launched an attack on Lu Bu from the side.

    Seeing this, Lu Bu quickly mobilized a thousand cavalry to deal with it.

    As soon as Xu Sheng's army landed ashore, Lu Bu led his cavalry and charged forward.

    Although Lu Bu's military strength was far inferior to that of Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng had just landed ashore and his footing was not yet stable.

    The soldiers were still organizing their troops, but they never expected that the enemy's reaction would be so fast.

    Caught off guard, they were instantly scattered by Lu Bu's cavalry. They trampled each other on the shore, making ghosts cry and wolves howl.

    Xu Sheng was anxious when he saw this, and immediately ordered the soldiers still on the boat to shoot arrows indiscriminately on the shore.

    You must know that at this moment Lu Bu's cavalry has been mixed with the soldiers who came ashore first.

    Such an attack not only killed and wounded Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, but also accidentally injured his own soldiers and horses.

    It¡¯s just that Xu Sheng doesn¡¯t care at all at this moment. He just wants to force the opponent back as soon as possible so as to open up a landing space.

    Under Xu Sheng's desperate attack, Lu Bu saw that the casualties of his cavalry were increasing, and the remaining enemy troops returned to the ship again, so he had no choice but to retreat.

    In this way, Xu Shengcai was finally able to successfully land ashore, then organized his team and marched toward the Yamen garrison city.

    Led by the reinforcements, the morale of the defenders in the city was high, and the momentum of Lu Bu's siege troops was also suppressed one after another.

    In the end, Lu Bu had no choice but to withdraw his troops and led his troops back to Kugan Ridge to defend themselves.

    After Huang Gai and Xu Sheng reunited, their troops greatly increased, and with the help of the navy, the city was impregnable, which made Lu Bu very embarrassed.

    Lu Bu's attacks for several days in a row yielded nothing, and he also lost a lot of men in vain.

    In this way, he finally had the idea of ????retreating.

    "It's just that Lu Bu has never been so cowardly while galloping on the battlefield.

    Whether he was defeated outside Jingcheng or was blocked from advancing in the Yamen garrison, this made him increasingly unsettled.

    I saw Lu Bu drinking all the wine in the cup and then he paused heavily on the table.

    He frowned and shouted: "We will fight again tomorrow. If we still can't take this city, we will retreat directly!"

    The fact that Lu Bu could say these words showed that the anger in his heart had reached its peak.

    When he left the scene, the heavy solid wood table suddenly split into two halves, which frightened all the generals on the scene.

    On the second day, Lu Bu's army was dispatched in full force and marched towards the Yamen garrison again.

    Huang Gai and Xu Sheng received the news early and immediately rushed to the city to guard it.

    After several days of attacks, there was no hesitation between the two sides, and the battle was about to break out.

    However, even though Lu Bu had made up his mind, with the joint efforts of Xu Sheng and Huang Gai, he still failed to capture the city.

    In desperation, Lu Bu had to withdraw his troops and prepare to go north to join Liu Ke.

    However, after Lu Bu had advanced just over ten miles, he suddenly heard from the soldiers that another naval force was approaching from the upper reaches of the Han River. It was so aggressive that he had to take precautions.

    Lu Bu was shocked and confused after hearing this. He didn't expect that the enemy actually had so many naval forces here.

    He originally wanted to retreat immediately, but he also wanted to explore the enemy's strength and bring back information for Liu Ke to make his next decision.

    So, Lu Bu quietly approached the Han River with only a few riders.

    With the help of the cover of trees, Lu Bu boldly observed the navy.

    "This navy is so majestic. Fortunately, I came to check it out. Otherwise, His Majesty would have been caught off guard and would have suffered considerable losses.

    No, we must return quickly and report this matter to His Majesty.  "

    Just as Lu Bu was about to leave, a guard next to him pointed at the largest ship in the fleet and said: "General, look at the general's flag on the ship."

    Lu Bu quickly followed the instructions and found that the general's flag actually had the word "gan" written on it.

    "Could it be General Gan Ning? But there are so many people with the same surname in the world. So is there a general named Gan under Sun Quan?"

    Everyone shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.

    At this moment, a figure slowly walked out from the forecastle, and it turned out to be extremely familiar.

    &nbWhen Lu Bu saw it, he was instantly surprised. It turned out that the man was Gan Ning.

    Since Gan Ning helped Lu Bu capture Qikou City in Yishui River, he returned to Han River here and went down the river, attacking the city and building strongholds along the way.

    After taking Zuxian, he continued southward without stopping, and happened to be met by Lu Bu here.

    Since it was Gan Ning, Lu Bu didn't have any scruples. He came out of the bushes and shouted at Gan Ning.

    Gan Ning heard the sound and saw that it was Lu Bu whom he hadn't seen for several days.

    Although he was curious about why he saw the other party here, he still ordered to dock and took a small boat to arrive in front of Lu Bu.

    "Fengxian, didn't you pursue Sun Quan south? Why are you here?"

    When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately said: "Oh, it's embarrassing to say that. I saw through Sun Quan's ambush in a valley and immediately pursued him.

    Unexpectedly, the enemy generals were full of tricks and fled in different directions. I followed Huang Gai closely and chased him here.

    "But Huang Gai entered Yamen and garrisoned the city and could not get out. I could have attacked it, but at the critical moment, Xu Sheng actually led the navy to attack, and the success fell short.

    After that, they attacked several times in succession. However, due to lack of troops, they were unable to attack, so they had to retreat for the time being, and then find a good strategy!  "

    Hearing this, Gan Ning immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry about this first, Your Majesty ordered me to lead the army down the river and clear out the enemy troops along the way.

    Since we are here, it¡¯s time to deal with it together. You and I join forces. What does the small Yamen garrison have to fear?  "

    Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this.

    He was already full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger. If it weren't for the lack of troops, how could he have retreated?

    Now that Gan Ning's navy was helping out, Lu Bu's competitive spirit was naturally instantly aroused.

    He immediately said: "That's great, we have Xingba to help us, so why worry about the enemy's city not being broken? Without further ado, let's set off quickly!"

    "Wait a minute!" Gan Ning suddenly waved his hand and said.

    Lu Bu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, thinking that the other party didn't want to help him anymore.

    However, Gan Ning¡¯s subsequent explanation instantly enlightened Lu Bu.

    "Fengxian, listening to what you say, although the Yamen garrison city is not too difficult to attack, there are now two armies of Huang Gai and Xu Sheng.

    "If the other party sees that our army is strong and cannot retreat, and we attack by force, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

    So according to my plan, it would be much easier to lure the snake out of the hole and lead it out from the inside!  "

    "The plan to achieve hegemony is indeed a good one, but how do we lure the snake out of its hole?"

    "This is simple, you just need to lead the troops first and then attack the city once." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
