After all, even if there are gains, it is only a few enemy generals, and the opponent's main force is still there.

But now he is not in a hurry at all. Instead, he is watching the battle with great interest, and even has a leisurely way of pointing out the situation in the formation with the advisers.

This is not because Liu Ke has a big heart, but because he has other plans.

According to his previous plan, the battle in front of him was just to hold back Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

The real killer move was Ling Tong's attack on the defense line of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, at this moment, when everyone's attention is attracted by the three pairs of fierce generals fighting each other.

Ling Tong led the water army under his command and had already quietly bypassed Zhijiang City and headed towards the Yangtze River behind it.

But none of Sun Quan and Liu Bei noticed all this.

Therefore, when Ling Tong was marching, Liu Ke was naturally eager to continue the battle and completely attract the opponent's attention here.

As for Liu Bei and Sun Quan, it was indeed as Liu Ke expected, their eyes were fixed on the battle in the battle all the time, and they did not pay attention to other directions at all.

Fazheng and Zhou Yu, counselors of both sides, looked at the situation in front of them and felt puzzled in their hearts, but they still couldn't find any clues.

Then he thought that such a battle would be more beneficial to himself as the defender, and finally let go of his guard completely.

In this way, the battle continued until the evening.

The first thousand and 760 chapters of Ling Tong's disguise

The first day's battle ended like this. The three armies gathered outside Zhijiang City, and all the famous generals from all sides came out. In the end, it was hard to tell the winner.

All three parties are quite satisfied with this result.

For Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's outstanding performance blocked Liu Ke's army, which naturally made him look good.

On Sun Quan's side, although Ding Feng appeared a bit late, he was indistinguishable from Xu Huang, and his morale was also boosted.

Looking at it this way, Liu Ke seems to be the one who has lost the most, but what the other two don't know is.

It turned out that the battle outside Zhijiang City was not Liu Ke's goal at all, and his thoughts were all on Ling Tong's navy.

During the battle, Ling Tong's navy had quietly bypassed the opponent's line of defense while Sun Quan and Liu Bei were not paying attention.

Then he led his troops south without hesitation, and now he has reached the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Ling Tong's fleet entered the Yangtze River from Tuoshui. As soon as they arrived, they were shocked by the majestic and magnificent river surface in front of them.

Although during the battle in Yangzhou, Ling Tong galloped the Yangtze River and defeated countless enemy troops.

But there is already the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and although the river is wide, the water has already calmed down.

Naturally, there is no such mid-stream area, and the turbulent gallop is even more shocking.

Especially here, the Yangtze River gathers water from all directions from the mountains of Yizhou and Jingxi, entering the Jianghan Plain for the first time.

Not only did the water surface widen suddenly, but the rushing momentum of the water was still there, giving people the shock of thousands of galloping horses.

Under such a scene, after Ling Tong was shocked at the beginning, he was worried about the next battle.

Because the water flow on the river was fast, and there were various eddies and countercurrents under the water, Ling Tong had no choice but to drive the boat back to the Tuoshuikou and stand still for the time being.

It's not that he doesn't want to attack now, but it's the first time he entered the Yangtze River, whether it's himself or the soldiers under him.

I don't know much about the water potential of the Yangtze River, and a rash attack will cause greater losses.

Therefore, after Ling Tong was stationed, he immediately began to arrange.

"When our army first entered the Yangtze River, we were completely unaware of the environment and situation here. In order to avoid being at a loss after the war, we must be familiar with it in advance.

Sheng Xian, Luo Tong, you have been familiar with leading the navy on the river in the past few days.

But remember to do it in batches, so as not to be noticed by the defenders on the south bank.

This general will lead a dozen of his followers, pretend to be merchants from Yangzhou, and investigate the enemy's surroundings!

Remember, all actions must follow the instructions of the general. Before the general returns, anyone who dares to provoke trouble will be beheaded! "

With the final beheading, Ling Tong almost said it through gritted teeth, and the austere meaning made all the generals present shiver.

Although Ling Tong was young, he was dignified in running the army, rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for demerits, and his subordinates had long been familiar with his style.

So Ling Tong's order was immediately imprinted in everyone's hearts.

After everything was arranged properly, Ling Tong led his entourage and set off upstream in three cargo ships.

The people who put on all changed into civilian clothes, hid their weapons, and pretended to be ordinary merchants.

The boat traveled against the current on the river, but because of the turbulent current, it did not travel more than [-] miles until evening.

Ling Tong saw that it was getting late, and the surface of the river was completely dark, and there was still a layer of mist shrouded in it.

In addition, I was not familiar with the environment of the Yangtze River, so I had to go to the shore to find a gentle place to rest for the night, and prepare to continue walking the next day.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the next day dawned, Ling Tong heard a noise coming from the water outside the cabin.

He hurried out to check, only to see a warship approaching upstream.

Out of conditioned reflex, Ling Tong immediately grabbed at his waist, ready to draw his sword to fight the opponent.

But when his hands were empty, he looked down and finally realized that he was already a merchant in disguise at the moment, so it was impossible for him to carry a sword around his waist.
