    Liu Heilong retreated to Maopu in embarrassment. There were less than 4,000 men left in the entire army. His warships were also damaged, and almost all large ships were lost.  If everyone hadn't been good at escaping, the entire army would have been left in Jiangbei.

    Looking at the miserable situation of the navy, Liu Yuanjin almost didn't mention it in one breath. Without the navy, how could he block the Yangtze River and resist the Sui army.

    Zhu Xie looked as ugly as if his parents had just died. He knew very well what this defeat meant.

    Zhu Xie immediately persuaded Liu Yuanjin to abandon Maopu, stick to Yanling, and rely on the terrain on the south bank to block the Sui army's waiting bank.  Liu Yuanjin was also full of anger, but no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do.

    But what surprised them again was that it was too late to adjust their defense.

    After Tu Wanxu defeated Liu Heilong's sneak attack, he did not give up when the situation was good, but took advantage of the situation to attack the south bank.

    The Sui army defeated the thieves and navy, and all the generals admired Tu Wanxu's clever plan.  Tu Wanxu could be said to have experienced hundreds of battles. When he saw the bandits retreating, he ordered the entire army to follow them and attack Maopu directly.

    Everyone was shocked, thinking that the Sui army was not fully prepared at this time and rashly crossed the river, fearing something unexpected.

    Tu Wanxu said disapprovingly: "We defeated the enemy today and took advantage of the situation. The thieves must not have expected that I would dare to attack their camp directly. The morale of our army is high at this time. If we work hard, we can defeat the thieves. What else do we need to prepare."

    Therefore, Tu Wanxu ordered the navy to continue to pursue the remaining enemies, while the remaining troops crossed the river by boat.

    Tu Wanxu followed the pace of the former navy and arrived outside Maopu Port first.  At this time, the bandit navy had just suffered a defeat, the remaining ships were crowded in the port, and the remaining soldiers had all landed, defenseless.

    The navy of the Sui Army appeared outside Maopu Port, blocking the bandit navy.

    The battle broke out extremely suddenly, at least for the thieves.  At this time, the few remaining ships under Liu Heilong were unable to sail out of the harbor to avoid the battle and save the ships. The two sides got mixed up, and the Sui army boarded the ships to start a boarding battle.

    Soon, the situation of the Vietnamese army in Maopu Port deteriorated.

    Everyone looked at the battle situation and panicked. Only Zhu Xie was the calmest. He knew very well that the current battle had become one-sided. It was only a matter of time before the entire navy was annihilated. In this case, the only way to do this was to abandon the navy.  It can give the entire army enough time to prepare.

    Zhu Xie immediately said to Liu Yuanjin: "Sage, please order the navy to abandon the ship and wait for the shore, and then set the ship on fire. Never let the navy ship fall into the hands of the Sui army."

    "What did you say?"

    Liu Heilong's eyes were filled with tears after hearing this, and he roared at Zhu Xie: "Zhu, this is the only naval force left in our army. What are you worried about?"

    The generals on the side quickly grabbed Liu Heilong, and Zhu Xie's subordinates immediately surrounded him.

    At this time, although Liu Yuanjin proclaimed himself emperor and set up a decent etiquette system, he was actually a grassroots team. Everyone did not get rid of bandit habits, and they completely ignored the etiquette of the court.

    Seeing that a full-scale martial arts show was about to take place in the military tent, Liu Yuanjin knew that there could be no civil strife, so he dismissed Liu Heilong.  Liu Heilong's face was full of anger, but in the end he had no intention of disobeying Liu Yuanjin.

    Liu Yuanjin looked at Zhu Xie and asked, "King Wu, must it be like this?"

    Zhu Xie said: "Sage, the Sui army came too fast. Our army was unprepared and could never be the opponent of the Sui army. At this time, the only way to stop the enemy army was to burn the ships. If the enemy army takes advantage of the situation and lands ashore, we will  Even the troops on land cannot be saved."

    Liu Yuanjin looked at Zhuge Yin again, and Zhuge Yin nodded slightly.

    Liu Yuanjin actually admired Zhu Xie and knew Zhu Xie's ability. Seeing that Zhuge Yin also agreed, he said: "Everything will be done according to the wishes of the King of Wu, burn the ships and retreat the enemy."

    Liu Heilong became anxious upon hearing this, and was grabbed by Zhuge Yin.

    Liu Yuanjin comforted Liu Heilong and said: "General Liu, don't be sad. I will destroy the thieves one day and I will rebuild the navy. When the time comes, the general will still be the commander-in-chief."

    Liu Yuanjin said that at this point, Liu Heilong was helpless.

    At this time, Zhuge Yin stepped forward again and said: "Sage, our army still needs to move to Yanling City as soon as possible to stop the enemy. As for Maopu, King Wu can be left under full command."

    "This is a great thing to say!"

    Zhu Xie was not allowed to say anything, so the final task was handed over to Zhu Xie.

    Zhu Xie also knew very well that Liu Yuanjin and Zhuge Yin were trying to trick him. The Sui army launched a large-scale attack, but the Vietnamese army had no effective arrangements at all. Is it so easy to cut off the rear?  But the situation was critical at this time, and he and Liu Yuanjin were not allowed to argue here, let alone retreat directly.  If he escapes, the trees will fall and the hozens will scatter, and the army of more than 100,000 will probably be wiped out in Maopu.

    Zhu Xie had no choice but toGeneral Zhou Ji led 20,000 troops to form an array along the river to resist the Sui army that had landed.  He also ordered the remaining ships of the navy to be set on fire in order to block the enemy.

    Soon a fire broke out in Maopu Port, with thick smoke billowing and flames shooting into the sky.

    Seeing the intensity of the fire, the Sui army, which was struggling to advance, had to retreat to avoid being implicated in the fire.

    At this time, the fighting on the shore has also begun.  Tu Wanxu personally led the main force to land at the shoal east of Maopu Port and quickly established a beachhead position without any obstruction.

    It¡¯s not that Zhu Xie is incompetent, it¡¯s that Tu Wanxu¡¯s attack was too fast.  After he set off from Yangzijin, he divided his army into three, and the navy attacked Maopu Port directly; and he personally led a main force to land east of Maopu Port to contain the main force of bandits; Yu Juluo was ordered to follow Maopu Port.  Landing west of Pugang, cutting off the rebels' return route.

    The three main forces advanced almost at the same time, blocking both Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie's return and forward paths before they could react.

    Zhou even led 20,000 soldiers to the battlefield, but it was of no use.

    Tu Wanxu was an experienced soldier. In order to prevent enemies in front, he placed the cavalry at the front, followed by the infantry.

    Zhou Ji's troops encountered the Sui army out of breath. Before they could set up their formation, the Sui army's cavalry swarmed forward and rushed towards the opponent.  There are few horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is even more difficult to train cavalry. Therefore, although Liu Yuanjin had many soldiers, he could not produce a full-scale cavalry force.

    When the two sides met, Zhou's army was immediately torn to pieces by the opponent's cavalry before it had time to form a formation.  Zhou Ji shouted at the top of his lungs from behind the formation and ordered the formation to form, but the army was in chaos and could not organize resistance at all.

    Zhou Ji had no ability to turn the tide. At this time, how could he dare to hold on? He directly ordered the entire army to retreat, and then retreated to Maopu with the remaining soldiers.

    The Sui army¡¯s cavalry followed behind and killed countless people. There were even more torn corpses along the way.

    Zhou Ji fled back to the central army in a state of embarrassment. Zhu Xie did not expect Zhou Ji to be defeated so quickly, and he almost lost his mind for a moment.

    "Your Majesty, the Sui army's cavalry is so brave and unstoppable!"

    Thinking about how he escaped from death, Zhou Ji couldn't help crying.  Although Zhou Ji was from the Yixing Zhou family, he was just a local tycoon. He had never been in a battle before the rebellion, and the maximum number of people he could command did not exceed a hundred. How could he command thousands of troops?

    Zhu Xie was also speechless. Zhou was incompetent and could not buy enough time for him, but this battle still had to be fought.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
