Yuan Shu's army was defeated, and he fled with only a few hundred personal guards.
But he still has to face Wang Ding's pursuit.
Ma Chao led a thousand cavalry and chased Yuan Shu in the direction of his escape.
Yuan Shu was riding a war horse, but most of the guards around him could only walk on two legs, but more than ten of them had war horses. How could they outrun Ma Chao's pursuit?
However, after escaping for more than ten miles, Ma Chao caught up with him.
Yuan Shu's horse was under his crotch, but he was knocked over by Ma Chao's spear. Yuan Shu rolled off the horse, and then a spear was pressed against his neck.
Yuan Shu was captured alive and escorted to Luoyang. In front of hundreds of thousands of civil and military officials and hundreds of thousands of people, he was beheaded by Wang Ding.
After Yuan Shu was pacified, Wang Ding's reputation increased day by day.
In Luoyang City, it was difficult to hear the voices of other ministers, and no one dared to oppose Wang Ding.
Even those loyal ministers who had always been loyal to the Han Dynasty have now ceased their activities.
The development of Luoyang City is getting better and better, and the permanent population in the city has exceeded 500,000.
After annihilating Yuan Shu, Wang Ding did not raise his weapons again, but settled down to develop.
Now his only enemies are Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce.
A large area of land now needs Wang Ding to consolidate.
Now with Wang Ding's strength, even if Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Ce join forces, Wang Ding will still have the advantage.
What's more, Yuan Shao was defeated previously and now his strength is seriously damaged. Now he can only rest and recuperate in Yecheng.
Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, but now he is still unable to fully control Jiangdong.
Many aristocratic families in Jiangdong still seem to be inseparable from Sun Ce.
The Han Dynasty ushered in a rare period of peace. Except for Sun Ce who often led armies to attack the people of Shanyue, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao did not launch any more wars.
This is perfect for Wang Ding.
He is not afraid of anyone more than development.
As long as you give him time, his strength will become stronger and stronger, far surpassing Yuan Shao and the others.
But now Wang Ding's main energy is not in Tianji Pavilion.
But in Tiangong Pavilion.
After Wang Ding gave specific goals, Tiangong Pavilion had already researched and developed waterwheels, curved shaft plows, and cement red bricks.
Nowadays, the streets in Luoyang City are all cement roads.
As for the four official roads in Luoyang's east, west, north and south, tens of thousands of migrant workers are paving the roads, and they all need to pave cement roads.
The fertilizers researched by Tiangong Pavilion were sent by caravan to Chengdu, Liangzhou and other places. The amount of grain in Wang Ding's hands was already a terrifying astronomical figure.
Even though the tax he levied was only 1 out of 10 taxes, now the granaries of local governments have been filled with food.
Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce all had less food and grass than Wang Ding.
…
Three years later!
Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 troops and entered Bingzhou.
Wang Dingze asked Huang Zhong to lead an army of 100,000 to attack.
In three years, Yuan Shao's strength also recovered.
However, Wang Ding's strength is completely different from what it was three years ago.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were no match for Wang Ding at the beginning, and now they are even worse.
Wang Ding was not at all anxious about Cao Cao's invasion of Bingzhou.
The same military strength, but the combat effectiveness between the two is one in the sky and one on the ground.
Cao Cao was full of confidence and thought he could win Bingzhou this time.
But he didn't know that what he was about to face was a terrifying army that would scare him.
Although Wang Ding has not yet obtained the Musket, the crossbows, gunpowder, and sophisticated equipment are not comparable to those of Cao Cao's troops.
Even if Cao Cao did not invade Bingzhou, Wang Ding planned to eliminate Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce this year.
This battle of Bingzhou did not last long.
From the time Huang Zhong Fazheng led his army there, it only took a month.
Cao Cao's 100,000-strong army was almost completely destroyed, and he fled back to Jizhou with only more than 10,000 people.
This battle completely allowed Cao Cao to see the situation clearly.
"At first, the king is invincible, so we might as well surrender." Cao Cao returned to Ye City in disgrace and his first words were to ask Yuan Shao to surrender.
He faced Wang Ding several times and suffered huge defeats. At the beginning, Cao Cao still had confidence.
But this time, the Battle of Bingzhou completely wiped out Cao Cao's ambitions.
He had no idea how to face Wang Ding's army. Not to mention that both sides had the same strength. Even if he faced Wang Ding with ten times the strength, Cao Cao still had no confidence that he could fight Wang Ding's troops.
Those terrifying crossbows made it impossible for his army to advance.
Even if they withstand huge casualties, if they get within a hundred steps of the Han army, a more terrifying explosion will immediately occur.
The Han army threw earthen jars one after another, which exploded when they hit the ground. Once they exploded, they killed and injured a large number of people.
Cao Cao didn't know how to fight this battle at all.
But Yuan Shao had never seen it with his own eyes. He didn't believe what Cao Cao said. He only thought that Cao Cao was afraid. Cao Cao deliberately pretended that Wang Ding was powerful when he was defeated in order to shirk his guilt.
"Mengde, I will never surrender to a child." Yuan Shao said.
"Just watch how I defeat Wang Ding'er and welcome back the Han Emperor."
Cao Cao is helpless. He understands Yuan Shao's character. No matter what he says now, Yuan Shao will not believe it. Only by letting Yuan Shao experience it for himself will he truly understand the strength of the Han army.
After Huang Zhongfazheng defeated Cao Cao, Wang ordered Pang De to guard Wancheng, and then he personally led an army of 200,000 to prepare to attack Yecheng.
In addition, Huang Zhongfazheng set out from Bingzhou to attack Yuan Shao together with Wang Ding.
A total of thirty troops entered Jizhou.
Yuan Shao did not panic. Even though Cao Cao was defeated and lost 90,000 troops, Yuan Shao still had 400,000 troops in his own hands.
Compared with Wang Ding, Yuan Shao conscripted troops more severely, recruiting 400,000 troops in three years.
And it is only the land of the three states of Youzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou.
Jizhou, which used to have a population of more than one million, now has only more than 600,000 people left. As for Youzhou, the population has dropped by 50%.
The Han army attacked the city and captured the territory very quickly.
With the sharp weapon of gunpowder, ordinary cities could not withstand the Han army's attack.
Just set up a row of catapults and throw clay pots filled with gunpowder over them. The defenders on the city wall will be killed and wounded in an instant, and the rest will not dare to stay on the city wall.
Wang Ding led his army all the way north, but in more than a month, they had arrived at the gate of Yecheng.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Only then did Yuan Shao understand that Cao Cao was not exaggerating.
He was shaken in his heart, but he was a member of the Yuan family, the fourth generation of the family, how could he bow his head to a child.
Fifty catapults were already set up at the gate of Yecheng.
Fifty thousand archers were on standby.
Thirty thousand cavalry on both wings,
The battle is about to break out.
Yuan Shao stood on the city wall with Cao Cao beside him.
Cao Cao said: "Be careful with those catapults."
He had seen the power of gunpowder. Standing on the wall now, Cao Cao was very careful.
"Archers prepare!"
"shooting!"
Fifty thousand archers shot at Yuan Jun on the city wall at the same time.
Densely packed arrows fell towards the wall like an overwhelming force.
Cao Cao hurriedly lowered his head and hid behind the female wall.
Yuan Shao's reaction was a bit slow, but there was a guard beside him, and he immediately stood in front of Yuan Shao. In the blink of an eye, the guard was shot into a hedgehog.
Yuan Shao's face turned pale, and he hurried away from the city wall with several guards holding shields.
After the rain of arrows, dozens of catapults began to show off their power.
Clay pots filled with gunpowder were thrown onto the city wall by catapults.
boom……
The sound of explosions resounded throughout the world, and the entire city of Ye was enveloped in the sound of artillery fire.
The people in the city hid in their homes and shivered, and the soldiers in the city were frightened.
They had never heard such powerful artillery fire.
Cracks appeared in the tall city walls of Yecheng, and pieces of the city walls collapsed.
Yuan Shao was hiding in the city. He listened to the sound of gunfire on the city wall and his face turned pale.
"Why?"
"Why did the Han army have this engineering weapon?"
But three years have passed, and it seems like thirty years have passed.
Yuan Shao couldn't understand the current war.
Facing gunpowder, it is simply not human power to resist.
Even Yuan Shao himself was unable to resist, let alone those ordinary soldiers.
There was no longer any Yuan Jun standing on the city wall.
Either they died in the previous arrow rain or in the gunpowder explosion. Those who survived had fled the city wall and hid inside the city.
boom!
The city gate was blown open directly.
Zhang Liao led the army and entered the city.
The Yuan army had already lost all morale in the explosion. Facing the Han army's attack, they had almost no sense of resistance even if they were fighting with cold weapons.
"It's over." Cao Cao threw away the weapon in his hand.
He watched the Han army enter the city. There were hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops in the city, but only a few dared to stand up and resist.
The explosion did not stop.
There was a group of throwers in the army led by Zhang Liao. Whenever they encountered Yuan's army in the city, they would first throw a round of clay pots, causing continuous explosions.
The Han army advanced all the way, and explosions were heard all the way.
There were stumps and broken arms everywhere on the ground, so that when the Yuan army saw the Han army, they immediately retreated, and some even threw away their weapons and chose to surrender.
The explosion lasted for a full hour before Yecheng returned to calm.
Yuan Shao surrendered.
No matter how hard he tried in his heart, he could not resist and was unable to resist in the face of overwhelming strength.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were all taken to Luoyang by Wang Ding, but they were not killed.
When Yuan Shao arrived in Luoyang, he was even more surprised. In the past few years, he had only heard that Luoyang was prosperous, but today he realized that today's Luoyang is already two different worlds compared to Yecheng where he lives.
What would he use to fight Wang Ding?
Not to mention Yizhou, Liangzhou, which Wang Ding occupied, Yuan Shao could compete with the strength of Luoyang City in front of him.
He didn't lose unfairly, but Yuan Shao still couldn't understand why Wang Ding had so many sharp weapons in his hands.
Yuan Shao was defeated and surrendered. Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Jiangdong were all worried, fearing that Wang Ding would send his troops south.
With Yuan Shao's strength, he was destroyed in just a few months. How could Jingzhou Jiangdong resist?
News of the gunpowder has reached Jiangdong, Jingzhou.
Although Liu Biao and Sun Ce have not seen it, they all understand that if gunpowder is really as powerful as rumored, they will be destroyed in a matter of days.
Liu Biao and Sun Ce sent countless spies to find out the secret of gunpowder, but all the spies they sent came to nothing.
Wang Ding has very strict control over gunpowder. Nowadays, the people who make gunpowder are all his confidants who have been following him for many years. The gunpowder workshop is hidden in the mountains, and there is a large army guarding it outside.
Anyone with a strange face will not be able to approach at all. Anyone who dares to approach will be thrown into prison as soon as they are discovered.
After returning from Jizhou, Wang Ding had captured at least more than a hundred people.
But even so, Liu Biao and Sun Ce did not give up.
But there is no gunpowder workshop that can be touched.
Most of them were still snooping in Luoyang City, but they were captured by the people from Tianji Pavilion.
"What happened to the navy?" Wang Ding asked.
Jia Xu said: "Gan Ning has 100,000 naval troops and thousands of warships in Hanzhong. He can march eastward along the Khan River at any time and directly take Jingzhou."
The navy had already begun preparations when Wang Ding occupied Hanzhong.
After so many years, the navy has taken shape.
Whether it is soldiers or warships, they are enough to stand out from the crowd.
Returned to Luoyang, after one month of rest.
Wang Ding began to use troops against Jingzhou.
Jingzhou!
Liu Biao is old.
Compared to other states, Wang Ding knew Jingzhou better. In addition to information about Tianji Pavilion, he also had Zhang Lu who was preaching in Jingzhou.
In the past few years, Zhang Lu has also worked conscientiously in Jingzhou and developed hundreds of thousands of followers.
Although Jingzhou is no longer in Wang Ding's hands now, Zhang Lu's followers almost all prefer Wang Ding in their hearts.
As for Liu Biao, they had long forgotten about him.
Most of these 100,000 believers are just the lowest common people in Jingzhou, but some are wealthy businessmen in Jingzhou, and there are even followers of Zhang Lu in Liu Biao's army.
Wang Ding led an army of 200,000 people to the south, and Gan Ning led a navy of 100,000 people to the east, with Zhang Lu secretly assisting him.
Liu Biao's situation was even more difficult than that of Yuan Shao before him.
The army was approaching, and Liu Biao summoned many of his men.
But no one can come up with a solution.
Whether it was Kuai Liang or Cai Mao, they were powerless in the face of the menacing Han army.
Many people had already been shaken and wanted to surrender to Wang Ding.
They were just waiting for Kuai Liang or Cai Mao to make the first suggestion. Others did not know what Liu Biao was thinking and did not dare to offend Liu Biao.
Liu Biao was also very hesitant in his heart.
He did not want to surrender and did not want Jingzhou to fall into the hands of others.
But now his body is getting worse day by day, and Liu Biao feels that his time is running out.
If he is alive, the people in Jingzhou can still listen to him, but if he dies, Liu Ming makes it clear that no matter which of his two sons takes over Jingzhou, it will be difficult to control the situation.
Even though the younger son had Cai Mao's support, if Cai Mao had not had this relationship with him, how could Liu Biao have allowed him to take charge of Jingzhou's 100,000-strong navy.
Not only the threat from Wang Ding, but also the threat from Sun Ce. Both of them were not something that his two sons could resist.
There are many people in Jingzhou who want to surrender, more than Yuan Shao's subordinates.
Those aristocratic families didn't care at all who controlled Jingzhou, whether it was Liu Biao, Wang Ding, or even Sun Ce, as long as it didn't touch the interests of their aristocratic families, they didn't care.
Liu Biao had another way, which was to form an alliance with Sun Ce to jointly resist Wang Ding.
It's just that he and Sun Ce have a grudge against the murder of their father, so it's also very difficult to form an alliance with Sun Ce.
But facing Wang Ding's pressure, Liu Biao felt that it was not completely hopeless.
If Jingzhou falls into the hands of Wang Ding, Jiangdong will definitely not be spared either.
Liu Bei is now attached to Liu Biao, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are now in prison in Luoyang. He is alone in Jingzhou, and it is difficult to stand alone.
Even in these years, he has attracted some talents in Jingzhou, but there is no one who can replace Guan and Zhang in terms of generals.
Most of the talents who had previously sought refuge had been snatched away by Wang Ding. Liu Bei had been in Jingzhou for three years and now had only 500 soldiers under his command.
This time Liu Biao wanted to form an alliance with Sun Ce. Liu Bei was also one of the envoys, but Kuai Liang was the main envoy.
In Jiangdong, Sun Ce had established a firm footing in three years.
He did not die of assassination as in history. Now his prestige in Jiangdong is unmatched, and no one dares to challenge him.
But now he has to face Wang Ding. Even though he is called the Little Overlord, Sun Ce has no confidence at all.
He could sweep Jiangdong, but Sun Ce understood that there was still a big gap between himself and Wang Ding.
Alliance with Liu Biao?
Sun Ce was very reluctant in his heart, but at the moment it seemed that this was the only way to resist Wang Ding.
Can you let go of the hatred of killing your father?
Sun Ce didn't want to.
He is the little bully of Jiangdong, how can he bow his head?
Even though Zhang Zhao and others advised him to join forces with Liu Biao, Sun Ce did not nod in the end.
Not only did he not make an alliance with Liu Biao, but he also mobilized his troops and prepared to attack Liu Biao.
He wanted to occupy Jingzhou before the Han army arrived.
Sun Ce personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Jiangxia, while Zhou Yu led a navy of 50,000 to attack Xiakou.
The two envoys, Liu Bei and Kuai Liang, were immediately placed under house arrest.
Liu Biao, who was in Xiangyang, never expected that Sun Ce not only had no intention of forming an alliance with him, but even launched an attack on him.
At this time, almost all of Liu Biao's army was gathered in Xinye. The number of troops in the south was only 20,000. Facing Sun Ce's army, they might be destroyed at any time.
Faced with Wang Ding and Sun Ce's attack from the north and south, Liu Biao felt desperate.
Jingzhou can no longer defend it.
But Liu Biao still had a little hesitation in his heart.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are now in Luoyang and have lost their freedom. If he surrenders to Wang Ding, he will definitely spend the rest of his life in Luoyang.
This is still the best outcome, and you may even die inexplicably.
Under heavy pressure, Liu Biaoyi, who was already in poor health, became ill.
I lay in bed for three consecutive days and couldn't even handle official duties.
Xiakou and Jiangxia have been defeated.
Wang Ding also led his army to Xinye.
Amidst the explosion of gunpowder, the new field was broken.
Liu Biao was lying on the bed, unable to speak.
In the end, Mrs. Cai chose to surrender to Wang Ding.
At least they don't have a mortal enemy with Wang Ding, and Wang Ding is more powerful than Sun Ce.
Mrs. Cai surrendered with her son Liu Chong, and Wang Ding was naturally delighted.
There are almost no objections from the larger aristocratic families in Jingzhou.
They were more afraid of Sun Ce than Wang Ding.
Not only did Sun Ce and Liu Biao have a grudge against their father, but the main reason was what Sun Ce did in Yangzhou.
They were worried that if Sun Ce occupied Jingzhou, he would also attack the Jingzhou family.
Those aristocratic families in Yangzhou were almost shed with blood by Sun Ce.
Sun Ce used iron and blood methods to control Yangzhou.
Even if Wang Ding suppresses the aristocratic family, he will not easily wield the butcher's knife against the aristocratic family.
If they surrender to Wang Ding, their strength will be damaged, but at least their lives will be saved.
Wang Ding led a large army and entered Jingzhou.
At this time, Sun Ce also occupied one-third of Jingzhou.
"You don't need to worry, Wang Ding's troops and horses are all on foot, and we will defeat them with water battles." Zhou Yu was full of confidence.
Even if Jingzhou surrenders to Wang Ding and all Jingzhou navy falls into Wang Ding's hands, Jingzhou's naval generals Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Zhou Yu will not take it seriously at all.
In Zhou Yu's opinion, the best outcome of this battle is to drive Wang Ding out of Jingzhou, and the worst outcome is that they will just retreat to Jiangdong.
However, when warships appeared one after another in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the confidence on Zhou Yu's face disappeared.
Gan Ning led 100,000 naval troops to Jingzhou.
These 100,000 naval forces are stronger than those in Jingzhou, with more and larger warships.
Even the Jiangdong navy trained by Zhou Yu himself was not comparable.
Zhou Yu was shocked.
When Wang Ding had such a naval force under his command, he had no idea.
"Damn it!" Sun Ce was not calm either.
Facing such a naval force, the Yangtze River can no longer become a natural chasm.
The king is determined to attack Jiangdong and can take action at any time.
The infantry cannot compare with Wang Ding, nor can the navy.
The gap between the materials owned by both sides is as big as the sky.
Without Gan Ning's navy, Sun Ce still had the confidence to fight Wang Ding, but with the presence of this navy, Jiangdong's winning rate was less than 10%.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other.
In these years, their main energy has been in Jiangdong. Even if they pay attention to Wang Ding, the main focus is the war between Wang Ding and Yuan Shao.
As for Hanzhong, they were automatically ignored.
No one expected that when Wang Ding occupied Hanzhong, he had already begun to prepare his navy.
Over the years, this navy has surpassed the navy in Jiangdong, Jingzhou, and became the largest navy in the Han Dynasty.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content that follows! Thousands of battleships and a navy of one hundred thousand are enough to roam the inland rivers, and there are even dozens of large battleships to meet the needs of going to sea.
Gan Ning could even lead his navy to go directly to sea and attack Sun Ce's rear along the coast.
Sun Ce gave up the Jiangxia and other places he had just captured and directly led his army to retreat to Jiangdong.
Everything was different from what he thought.
Now facing Wang Ding, he finally felt the pressure from Liu Biao.
Even with Zhou Yu, he has no way to do it now.
The gap between the two sides is too big.
Gan Ning led his fleet to cruise along the Yangtze River, constantly using gunpowder from the warships to bombard the military fortresses on the shore.
After a few days, Sun Ce's troops did not dare to camp along the Yangtze River, and even Zhou Yu's navy hid.
He didn't dare to confront Gan Ning head-on.
For the small sampans they have in their hands, a can of gunpowder can blow the boat into pieces.
Zhou Yu absolutely did not want to fight Gan Ning before he found a way to deal with it.
But Zhou Yu's retreat caused all the Yangtze River channels to fall under Gan Ning's control.
As a result, Sun Ce's army was completely at a disadvantage when facing the Han army.
Wang Ding can now lead his army to attack at any time, cross the Yangtze River directly, land in Jiangdong, and approach Kuaiji.
Wang Ding rested in Jingzhou for a month, and during this month, Gan Ning led his navy to harass Sun Ce along the Yangtze River many times.
The morale of Sun Ce's army was low, and the Jiangdong family was ready to take action.
"My lord, Jiangdong Huang Gai sent people to ask for surrender." Jia Xu said.
Wang Ding sneered.
Fa Zheng said: "My lord, you think Huang Gai is not sincere in his submission?"
Wang Ding nodded: "Of course, Huang Gai is an old minister from Jiangdong and a loyal man, so how could he surrender?"
Jia Xu said: "Lord, this is Huang Gai's letter of surrender."
Wang Ding glanced at the content, and it was pretty much what he thought.
He handed the letter to Fa Zheng.
"This is Zhou Yu Huang Gai's bitter plan and cannot be trusted."
A smile appeared on Jia Xu's face. He also felt that Huang Gainai was faking surrender.
However, there are some people who feel that Huang Gai has really surrendered.
"Lord, why don't you send someone to Jiangdong to investigate." Sima Lang said.
Wang Ding said: "It's not necessary."
He is not Cao Cao.
Originally, Cao Cao was conquering Jiangdong. Since he had no navy, he could only rely on the Jingzhou navy. Huang Gai's surrender naturally made Cao Cao happy.
But now Wang Ding has the winning ticket. Even without Huang Gai, he can easily win Jiangdong, so why take the risk to accept Huang Gai.
Wang Dingdao: "No matter whether he surrenders for real or fake, just let him stay in Jiangdong with peace of mind."
"My lord is wise," Jia Xu said.
Accept Huang Gai's surrender, the risks and benefits are not equal.
Even if Huang Gai sincerely surrenders, it is just the icing on the cake for Wang Ding.
But if it was a bombing, Gan Ning's 100,000 navy troops might be wiped out.
Koto!
Zhou Yu was worried.
He didn't know if the bitter plan with Huang Gaiyan would work.
The play has been played, and now he can only look at Wang Ding's choice.
Huang Gai succeeded in pretending to surrender. As long as he could ignite Gan Ning's warships, Gan Ning's 100,000 navy troops would be destroyed.
There is no need for a chain plan at all. Wang Ding's warships all store a lot of gunpowder. Once it is ignited, there will definitely be a chain explosion.
"Huang Gai, is there any news from Wang Ding?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask after waiting for three days.
Huang Gai was still lying on the bed. In order to make Wang Ding believe that Zhou Yu had people really beat Huang Gai, even a hundred military sticks were given to him despite his age.
Huang Gai shook his head. It had only been three days and his body had not recovered yet.
If it weren't for the famous doctor, Huang Gai would have been cold when the hundred army sticks came down, and he would not have the strength to speak now.
Zhou Yu frowned, Wang Ding's choice was somewhat unexpected.
"Grand Governor, it's not good, the enemy is coming."
Zhou Yu's expression changed, and he knew in his heart that this bitter plot between him and Huang Gai had completely failed.
Moreover, Huang Gai, a general, was in vain before the war.
"boom!"
The sound of artillery fire came from Zhou Yu's water village.
During this time, Gan Ning finally found the location of Zhou Yu's water village.
Boom boom boom...
All the naval forces in Zhou Yu's hands were blocked in the port and could only be beaten passively, unable to get out at all.
The explosion lasted for an hour, the water village was blown beyond recognition, and not a single intact warship could be seen in the entire port.
Zhou Yu looked extremely ugly. If he hadn't escaped to the shore first, he would have been torn apart along with the warship.
Half of the 50,000 navy troops were destroyed.
Only a little over 20,000 people escaped to the shore.
Even if they escape to the shore, they may not be safe.
Gan Ning's navy, after blowing up the opponent's warships, began to target the enemy troops on the shore.
Facing the gunpowder bombing, Zhou Yu could only flee with the defeated generals with his remaining troops.
When Sun Ce received the news, it was already the next day.
Before Wang Ding set foot in Jingzhou, he thought that because of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, he could at least hold on to his foundation in Jiangdong.
After discovering that Wang Ding also had a powerful naval force in his hands, he thought that with Zhou Yu's assistance, he had at least a three-point chance of winning. If he concentrated on defense, he had at least a 50% chance of being able to hold on.
But now in the first battle, Zhou Yu's naval army was completely wiped out.
The battleships were all lost, and Sun Ce was even more unable to face the Han army.
No one in Jiangdong can stop Wang Ding.
Zhou Yu couldn't do it, and neither could Sun Ce.
After all, Sun Ce was unable to save himself. In just two months, the entire Jiangdong fell into Wang Ding's hands.
Sun Ce surrendered.
Later, Jiaozhou was also captured by Wang Ding.
The situation of division among princes finally ended.
The war is over.
Tianji Pavilion is spread all over the Han Dynasty. They develop agricultural tools and various sharp weapons.
Wang Ding did not attack Sun Ce, Cao Cao and others.
Three years later, Sun Ce took Zhou Yu and led a navy of 30,000 people all the way south.
Cao Cao led 30,000 cavalry into the west.
The territory of the Han Dynasty is constantly expanding.
With the map given by Wang Ding, their goal is very clear.
The Great Han! The unprecedented Great Han, a powerful empire that occupied four states was born.
