At this time suddenly they heard a bell being sounded at the port of Jiangxia, where it can only be sounded when there is an emergency and there is an emergency as they could see from the wall even though it was far away, Ships who were very big and not on the same size as Huang Zu and Cai Mao ships which meant that it can only be Lie Fan and the Lu Clan’s navy, which makes Huang Zu realize that he may need to make his decision sooner than expected.

This is the advantage of having a hidden technological breakthrough, especially in this era where hiding information was very easy. Hwacha and Lie Fan’s ships alone could become an advantageous presence in his battle at least until everyone was familiar with it.

Even if Lie Fan’s enemies were familiar with Hwacha and his ships, Lie Fan still had many arsenal of weapons that were unknown but had been used several times by Lie Fan’s navy in their battles which were the fire lance and Nest of Bees.

Li Yan who was standing beside Huang Zu also saw the size of Lie Fan’s ships and expected that there were such big ships, especially after knowing that Cai Mao and Huang Zu’s ships were the biggest he ever saw with the Sun Clan coming in second place.

Not making up his mind yet, Huang Zu ordered some of his men to the port and create a perimeter to guard against a possible landing from Lie Fan’s Navy, because the situation would become even more critical if that happened.

Li Yan on the other hand orders his men to reinforce Huang Zu’s men on the port of Jiangxia, while also stationing them in some part of the walls that he thought was a strategic place, and could help them in defending Jiangxia against Lie Fan’s Army.

On the side of Lie Fan and the Lu Clan’s Navy, after finally defeating the combined navy force of Cai Mao and Huang Zu, they captured some ships for the Lu Clan and burned the rest down while taking captive the surrendered marines and killing the rest.

After doing so, Huang Zhong and Liu Ba led the navy to head toward Jiangxia without any resistance whatsoever, and when they reached Jiangxia they saw that Jiangxia had entered an alert state and on their eastern wall the Baihu and Xuanwu Army was sieging Jiangxia.

Liu Ba feels that they should support the Baihu and Xuanwu Army, seeing as they surely used Hwacha to suppress Huang Zu’s army to build their battering rams, they should also do the same as them and shoot Jiangxia’s port with their own Hwacha.

Hang Zhong and Lu Jun agreed with Liu Ba’s plan, but because the Lu Clan’s ships didn’t have Hwacha installed on them, Lu Jun ordered his marines to shoot arrows supporting Lie Fan’s ships in firing their Hwacha after gaining Liu Ba’s agreement.

Huang Zu and Li Yan’s men who were stationed at Jiangxia Port didn’t know that they would receive the same treatment as their comrades on the wall, thinking that they were freed from that hellish situation.

While they were waiting for the arrival of Lie Fan’s ships to dock at their port, they saw that Lie Fan’s ships were turning sideways and then they saw the same siege weapons on the ship, like the ones shooting toward their comrades on the wall.

They began to panic after realizing that there was no protection for them to use, and before they could even prepare themselves or use anything at their disposal as a cover, Huang Zu ordered the Hwacha across Lie Fan’s navy to fire, which then followed by Lu Jun’s command for his men.

The combined arrows from Hwacha and Lu Jun’s Archers caused a large impact on Huang Zu and Li Yan’s men, unprotected and without cover many of their men were shot down and killed instantly.

The lucky ones survived the attack but I don’t if that can be called lucky, as after surviving the first attack they were killed on the second attack because they were incapacitated or suffered a serious injury which then caused a slow painful death.

Jiangxia’s Port was in chaos with Lie Fan and the Lu Clan’s Navy bombardment, Huang Zu and Li Ya received the news concerning Jiangxia’s Port when they were preparing their men for the melee battle, as they saw Hwacha’s being pulled back.

Huang Zu: ”Damn it! How many of these strange weapons does Lie Fan have?! Even his big ships were installed with these weapons! Now I knew why my navy was losing against his navy!”

Li Yan: ”He was a genius because he could apply the use of these weapons to maximal, but it was a head for us because we had never seen this kind of weapon before, Admiral Huang does Jiangxia not have any catapults that could be used?”

Huang Zu: ”There used to be some in the past, installed near the port to guard against possible baby attack, but after previous battles with the bastard Sun Jian it was destroyed and the expenses needed to repair them were massive, while I need to reinforce my army and navy at the same time.”

Li Yan: ”Hah this is a bad situation for us, I don’t know if we could stand long waiting for another possible reinforcement from My Lord if we ca- what the hell is that thing?!”

The surprised Li Yan cut off his words after seeing a big catapult he had never seen before raised, yes it was the Trebuchet no Trebuchtes as there were two of them which were built alongside the battering ram by the engineer corps.

Before Huang Zu could react to what Li Yan had just witnessed alongside him, the two saw big stones shot toward their location which caused Huang Zu and Li Yan to retreat, while their men were squeezed to death after being hit by the large boulders.

Both Huang Zu and Li Yan were shocked by the scene they had just witnessed, they never thought that such large stones could be shot using a normal catapult, this must be another new type of catapult invented by Lie Fan’s crafters or advisors or even himself.

The presence of the trebuchets completely suppressed Huang Zu and Li Yan’s men especially their archers, as they could shit toward the battering ram that was approaching the gate alongside Lie Fan’s soldier that began to raise the ladders and began to climb the ladder.

The trebuchets continue firing toward Huang Zu and Li Yan’s men before stopping when their comrades have reached the top of the wall. Song Xian, Wei Xu, Fang Yue, and Lu Qian were the vanguard generals, joining their men in climbing the ladder.

Lie Fan’s soldiers managed to gain a foothold on the wall after the four of them joined in, and slowly they expanded their vicinity allowing more of Lie Fan’s soldiers to join them.

At his time, Huang Chao and Wen Ping who could be considered to be the strongest generals under Huang Zu and even Li Yan’s disposal, entered the fray after receiving an order from Huang Zu.

The arrival of the two of them caused Huang Zu and Li Yan’s soldiers to finally gain the upper hand against Lie Fan’s soldiers and the four generals that become the vanguard, seeing Huang Chao and Wen Ping wreaking havoc cause Fang Yue as the most senior between the four, make the decision for them to split into two groups.

He and Lu Qian will take on Huang Chao while Song Xian and Wei Xu will take on Wen Ping, which receives agreement from the other three. Fang Yue then tells a soldier to inform Dian Wei to join them, as he doesn’t know if the four of the court take on both Huang Chao and Wen Ping.

Below the Wall, Dian Wei and Zhang Chao were overseeing the ongoing siege alongside Chen Deng and Zang Hong. Dian Wei actually wanted to join the siege personally, but was stopped by Zhang Chao to allow the other generals to gain merit.

Dian Wei: ”Humph! I tell you, Zhang Chao, if you weren’t my friend I would have whacked you from blocking me from participating in the battle, causing me to be bored now.”

Zhang Chao: ”Hah Dian Wei, I already told you that you can’t just keep participating in the battles, allow your generals to have a chance to shine and gain some merits, and this is what my Lord personally tells me to do!”

Chen Deng: ”Okay you two stop arguing, I don’t know if I should take this matter to My Lord, how could two of his Head Generals argue in ongoing battles like kids.”

Dian Wei: ”I’m not arguing with him! I just told him my dissatisfaction with his actions! How could I which was specialized in combat be held back?!”

Zang Hong: ”It’s not Zhang Chao doing this intentionally, you have read My Lord’s letter for Zhang Chao personally, it was My Lord’s order and we as his subordinate how could we reject his direct-”

Zang Homg who was trying to calm Dian Wei down was interrupted by a soldier who came to the four of them and informed them that Fang Yue had relayed a request for reinforcement, asking Dian Wei to join him and the others because there was Huang Chao and another general which shows great prowess.

Hearing this news Disn Wei let out a loud laugh and told the soldiers that he would join Fang Yue and the others, so they should be on the defensive before his arrival to take either one of Huang Chao and the mysterious general.

Chen Deng, Zhang Chao, and Zang Hong were surprised that there was another general of such caliber in Liu Biao’s Army, it looked like Liu Biao’s rank was full of talents after all not just Huang Zu, Cai Mao, and Huang Chao.

Before the three of them could even react, Dian Wei already left the command area alongside his guards to support Fang Yue, causing the three of them to shake their heads while sighing at Dian Wei’s behavior.

Unbeknownst to all parties that took part in the battle, inside Jiangxia a conspiracy slowly taking place as Deng Long, who was under the control of the Oriole began to unite the dissidents in Huang Zu’s rank that supported the idea of pledging allegiance to Lie Fan, to pressure Huang Zu as he has received the order and some information that the battle will take place for several days until Huang Zu set his mind to surrender and pledge his allegiance to Lie Fan.
