On the evening of July 28, the sixth year of Jian'an, the sun hanging in the west was wandering on the horizon, and the remaining sunset turned the blood-red and blood-red clouds reflected in the extreme west. Under the setting sun and the red sunset, the rushing river also became like a fire.

Qu'a, on the shore of the Yangtze River, is located at the mouth of the intersection of the Yangtze River and Changdang River. Qu'a was originally just a port where passing ships stopped and rested, but with the continuous migration of northerners, Jiangdong was gradually developed, and various ships came and went more frequently. Qu'a also benefited from this and gradually developed into a city. After Sun Ce unified Jiangdong, given the important geographical location of Qu'a, the city was reinforced and expanded several times, with the purpose of making it a frontier for the Guangling Chen Deng army to raid Jiangdong (Note: During the reign of Sun Ce, his relationship with Cao Cao was quite bad. During Yuan and Cao confrontation, Sun Ce intended to send troops across the river to the north and cooperate with Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao, but he gave up because Sun Ce died suddenly later. During this period, Sun Ce had fought several times with Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling appointed by Cao Cao, but failed to gain any advantage).

On the Yangtze River about three miles west of Qu'a City, a naval warship fleet containing at least 20 Mengchong and 30 boats was sailing downstream towards Qu'a Port. At the bow of each warship in the fleet, the dark red water Qilin battle flag unique to the Jiangdong Navy is clearly flying.

On the Mengchong warship, the first Mengchong warship, Ding Feng was wearing the standard armor of the Jiangdong Navy, stood at the bow of the boat in the wind, and looked up at the river in front of him.

"Chengyuan, come to Qu'a!" Liao Hua stepped to the bow of the boat, stood beside Ding Feng, and asked in a harmonious voice.

"Yes, Brother Yuan Jian!" Ding Feng turned his head and smiled at Liao Hua and said, "There is still three miles of waterway, and we will be able to arrive at the port in another moment!"

After saying that, Ding Feng looked at Liao Hua's armor, looked at himself again, twisted his body a little uncomfortable, and said complaining: "I feel unhappy when wearing this 'skin', but our own armor looks more comfortable!"

"Haha..." Liao Hua patted Ding Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There is nothing we can do about it! We can't wear our own clothes and armor to deceive others' cities!"

"That's true! However, this slap city is really boring, just like last time you accompanied General Wei and Brother Yuan Jian to slap Moling City, and it ended without a single or three moments of fighting! It's not at all!" After all, it's the heart of a young man, and it's still Ding Feng's preference to fight happily and kill happily.

"Haha... you kid knows fighting and killing!" Liao Hua cursed with a smile, "The general uses the most convenient and labor-saving method in war. He will never let his brothers die in vain! If you kid is asked to attack the city, you will most likely choose a strong attack. Do you know how many people will die that way?"

"Hey! With those bear soldiers in Moling City, even if they attacked forcibly, they would not die!" Ding Feng replied with some disrespect.

"Chengyuan, you have to know that siege wars are completely different from field battles!" Liao Hua's expression suddenly became serious and said to Ding Feng in a deep voice: "The new recruits of the Jiangdong Army in Moling City are indeed not good at combat. You may be able to defeat 2,000 or even 4,000 enemy troops in field battles. But in siege wars, it is completely different. Only they can be determined to resist to the end. With a strong city, it is no problem to fight against you with 1,000 people. Even if you can forcibly capture the city, the price you pay is probably greater than you imagined! You have not really experienced it, and you don't know the cruelty of siege wars!" At the end, Liao Hua seemed to remember some of his past experiences, and his face showed an extremely complicated look.

"Brother Yuan Jian, have you ever fought a siege?" Seeing Liao Hua's expression like this, Ding Feng did not dare to show his indifferent attitude anymore and asked Liao Hua seriously.

"Hit, and more than once..."

"When? How did the fight end?" Ding Feng asked anxiously with interest.

"In the past, General of the Heavenly King... was Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army (see Ding Feng showing a puzzled expression, Liao Hua explained to him). When he was still under his command, I had participated in many siege battles, some of which were successful and some failed... But the casualties of each siege were terrifying. Usually, after a siege battle, the casualties ratio between our army and the enemy was more than the number of May 1st (5:1), or even eleventh (10:1), and even twenty-one (20:1)... In the end, the bodies of the brothers who fell into the battle can fill the moat!" At the end, a sincere sorrow was quite obvious from Liao Hua's words, "Chengyuan, don't think that forcibly siege is something interesting, that is to exchange human lives for the city! After you experience it in the future, you will truly understand!"

Ding Feng knew that Liao Hua was very real and would never deliberately make up lies to deceive himself. He nodded silently to accept Liao Hua's criticism.

"It's a pity that General Wei is not here. He is the number one master in our army's fraud. If he had him, it would be no problem to cheat a small Qu Acheng!" Seeing that the atmosphere became a little solemn, Liao Hua spoke out and said, "Little joke."

"Hehe... without General Wei, we can still defraud Qu Acheng!" Ding Feng regained his relaxed expression and said with a smile.

"Zihuang, why are you always having a bitter face?" Ding Feng suddenly frowned slightly, and said in surprise to the person who had been following Liao Hua.

"Uh~! Nothing." The person asked by Ding Feng was ordered to assist Liao Hua and Ding Feng to take Qu'a Quan Cong. Since boarding Ding Feng's ship, Quan Cong has been feeling a little uneasy - once he fights with the Jiangdong Army, it means that he will completely embark on the road of being an enemy with the Jiangdong Army, and it also means the breaking of the "Quan" clan and the Sun family. From then on, the entire clan can only be tied to the Liu Bei army's warship. When he was persuaded to surrender that day, Quan Cong was only thinking about how to rescue his father. In addition, he was captured by Zhang Fei's power, and he had no chance to think of these contents. But afterwards, after calming down and thinking carefully, Quan Cong realized what his surrender meant... However, regret was useless at this time!

"Zihuang, don't be drooping! If you are seen like this, you will immediately become suspicious!" Ding Feng learned to Liao Hua to pat himself, stepped forward and patted Quan Cong on the shoulder, "Don't think so much! You leave the Jiangdong Army and return to our army, it is definitely the right choice! Those Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Taishi Ci and others will not be our general's opponents..."

"Yeah~~! Thank you, Commander Ding, for your advice!" Quan Congqiang smiled and nodded slightly.

"That's right~!" Ding Feng said with a smile. After receiving the order to arrive in Nanxu last night, Ding Feng felt quite in love when he saw Quan Cong, who was about the same age as him. Ding Feng, who was quite straightforward, became "very familiar" and called Quan Cong brothers.

"Head, it's coming soon!" A Jinfan soldier in charge of looking up shouted loudly to Ding Feng.

"Well~!" Ding Feng's eyes flashed, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and a solemn aura quickly overflowed from his body. "Send the order, all ships are ready! Be calmer and don't show any flaws!"

"Yes, head!" The soldier responsible for the order at the top of the cabin took out two small flags, one red and one white, and waved them, quickly passing Ding Feng's order to other warships.

Quan Cong looked at Ding Feng, who seemed to be replaced by another person, and couldn't help but feel shocked. Although Ding Feng was quite heroic, he had no airs and his laughter and joking personality easily made people regard him as an ordinary little pawn. There was a hint of contempt for Ding Feng in his heart, but everything he suddenly showed just now made Quan Cong confused. This calm demeanor alone was enough to make Quan Cong feel a little inferior!

Turning his head to look at Liao Hua, he saw that Liao Hua was also full of calmness and confidence, and seemed not worried about the battle to happen at all. Quan Cong couldn't help but sigh in secret - were they so confident in seizing Qu A, or should they be so confident in Zhang Fei?

"Zi Huang, don't be nervous!" Liao Hua turned his head gently and said in a harmonious voice. Obviously, Liao Hua heard Quan Cong's sigh just now, and mistakenly thought that Quan Cong was sighing because of his nervousness.

"Yeah~!" Feeling the concern and care in Liao Hua's words, Quan Cong's heart warmed slightly and nodded quickly.

"Brother Yuan Jian, Zi Huang, you are ready!" Ding Feng reminded Liao Hua and Quan Cong in a deep voice.

Qua Port, about 100 steps outside the west gate of Qua City, the bows and arrows of the guards of the city tower can cover the entire port. In order to better guard this natural port, Sun Ce specially ordered people to build two arrow towers on the west and south sides of the port. Each arrow tower is about eight zhang long, with an eaves of about five zhang wide, and is more than four zhang high from the ground. It has a wood and stone structure. The exterior wall of the front of the arrow tower is half a cherry-shaped, with four layers of arrow windows, each floor twelve holes, and four layers of wooden floor panels inside. The walls on both sides are about two feet thick, with three layers of arrow windows, and ten holes on each floor. The two arrow towers form a half ring with Quaxi City, firmly controlling Qua Port.

"Yes...a boat is coming to the port!" A soldier in charge of looking at Jiangdong Army suddenly shouted in panic on the arrow tower on the west side of Qua Port.

"If you have a boat, you have a boat. Are there so many boats coming in and out every day?" A Shi Chang scolded dissatisfied, "Mom's new recruit, likes to make a fuss!"

"But...but, there are more than one ship, there are many! And it seems they are all warships!" The new recruit who was looking up still shouted in panic.

"What? Is it a warship?" He heard that it was a warship, and immediately became nervous. He quickly ran to the lookout where the recruit was, leaned over and looked out. Through the lookout that was facing the Yangtze River, he really clearly saw a fleet of dozens of warships of all sizes heading towards Qua Port. But soon, the tension on the face disappeared. He stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted at the recruit: "That's our navy. Didn't you see the Water Qilin Battle Flag? I'll report it next time I see it clearly, don't be fucked by surprise!"

"Yes!" The recruit was scolded by Shi Chang for a while and did not dare to refute, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he knew that the warship was not an enemy.

"Well! Keep watching here, I'll signal the city that a navy fleet is coming!" Shi Chang nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the other side of the arrow tower.

Soon, the news that the navy fleet was about to arrive in Qua was conveyed into the city. A military Sima who was patrolling the city hurriedly led dozens of soldiers to the port to wait for the fleet to arrive.

Soon, dozens of Mengchong ships sailed into Qu'a Port in a row.

The army Sima hurriedly walked to the Mengchong warship with the flag hanging on the commander's flag, bowed and bowed, and shouted loudly: "Last year, the army Sima Yang Fan (please ask the book friend to "Shang Sailing and Far" to play a passerby), please see the master! I wonder which adult was the navy led by whom?"

"Wuhu River Patrol Navy, the boat commander Quan Cong!" The three leaders jumped off the warship first and walked towards Yang Fan, and took the lead, a young general with a heroic appearance responded in a deep voice.

Although Yang Fan was a little surprised that the leader was so young, after hearing that this person’s surname was Quan, he suddenly realized that this person must be a child of the entire Jiangdong clan, so it is not surprising that he can serve as the chief lieutenant at such an age!

"See Quan Duwei!" Yang Fan saluted Quan Cong again.

"Sima Yang doesn't have to be too polite!" Quan Cong nodded slightly, then pointed to the other two behind him and said, "These two are the army Sima Hualiao and army Sima Fengding!"

"I've met Sima Yang!" Hua, Feng and the two bowed to Yang Fan together.

"I have met Sima Hua! I have met Sima!" Yang Fan hurriedly bowed to Hua and bowed back to the two of them.

"Yang Sima, I am on the order of Commander Lu (Lu Fan, Commander of the Jiangdong Passing River Naval Division) to patrol the river areas of Qua and the Biling area. Today I happened to be here. It was too late to see that it was too late and I wanted to rest in Qua for one night! Please come to the city to inform me!" Quan Cong said in a deep voice.

"Quanduwei, have you not received the order from Prefect Sun (Prince Sun Jing, the Prefect of Wujun), to come to reinforce Qu A and Biling?" After hearing Quan Cong's words, Yang Fan seemed very surprised and asked anxiously.

"Reinforcement?" Quan Cong was asked inexplicably and said in confusion: "I was just ordered to patrol routinely, not to come here to reinforce! Why did Qu A and Virgin need reinforcements? What happened?"

"Oh~~!" After hearing Quan Cong's answer, Yang Fan seemed a little disappointed, but he replied quickly: "Quanduwei, this is the case! Three days ago, the powerful thief Lu He and Qin Lang gathered more than 10,000 ants to rebel. Now he has captured Yangxian and Xicheng counties. Prefect Sun has sent troops from Wucheng to quell the rebellion, and at the same time ordered the urgent transfer of Qu'a and Biling's defenders to help quell the rebellion!"
