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.

___________________________

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.

Deng Long who wanted to be freed of his drug addiction due to the Oriole, did his best to persuade the other generals and advisors under Huang Zu who have the mind to surrender to Lie Fan.

Even the neutral faction was approached by him, as the more people united under his leadership the higher the chance Huang Zu would pledge his allegiance to Lie Fan, which was something he wanted to happen as quickly as possible.

Huang Zhu and Li Yan don't know that there's a mole inside Jiangxia, and this mole has a high status inside Huang Zu's military rank.

The two of them are coordinating Jiangxia's defenses as they are receiving heavy attacks from both water and land, Jiangxia Port was in chaos due to Hwacha and archers shooting their men at the port while the eastern wall have been breached by Lie Fan's army.

Fortunately, there's Huang Chao and Wen Ping that shared their burden in on the Eastern Wall. The two managed to block four of Lie Fan's generals who led the attack on the wall, but unbeknownst to them Dian Wei was on the way to support those four generals.

At Jiangxia's port, Huang Zu and Li Yan's men are trying their best to hide under cover against the arrows being shot at them, not realizing at this time the ships are approaching the port.

Liu Ba ordered the Troop transport ships to dock at the port and the Qinglong Army could disembark at the port and begin the battle to take control of Jiangxia Port, fortunately, there was a Hwacha installed on the ship so it had means to defend itself.

Under the coordinated leadership of Huang Zhong and Lu Jun, the other ships also approached the port but great some distance to allow the transport ships to dock and then undock taking turns with the other transport ships.

They provided cover fire for the troop transport ships, and when Huang Zu and Li Yan's men realized that the ships had docked at Jiangxia's port it was already too late, as the Qinglong Army began to disembark.

When the Qinglong Army disembarked from the Troop Transport ships, the other ships held fire as they didn't want to accidentally shoot their comrade, and this allowed Huang Zu and Li Yan's men to finally leave their cover.

The river breeze carried the scent of dampness and anticipation as the Qinglong Army stepped onto the solid ground of Jiangxia's port. He Qi, Lu Fan, Lei Bo, Hao Meng, and Hou Cheng lead the Qinglong Army in the ground battle.

Huang Zhong and Lu Jun stayed on board the ships to oversee Lie Fan and the Lu Clan's navy, to be ready in case Liu Biao's navy under Cai Mao suddenly came to reinforce Huang Zu.

Under the lead of these 5 generals, The Qinglong Army began their assault on Huang Zu and Li Yan's men to take control of Jiangxia Port, where Huang Zu and Li Yan's men could only respond to the attack by defending themselves as they were scattered and unprepared thanks to the heavy suppressing fire of arrows before.

When both Huang Zhu and Li Yan received the news of another army landing in Jiangxia Port, they knew that this battle could just end today in their defeat, and feared that their rear would be in an uncontrollable situation, Li Yan decided to lead the rear personally.

Huang Zu could only agree to Li Yan's insistence because he knew that the situation was becoming more and more not in their favor, especially with the arrival of a new army in the port which was their rear front now due to the attack.

Receiving Huang Zu's agreement, Li Yan left the command area alongside his personal unit heading toward the port, and at this time Deng Long approached Huang Zu.

Deng Long: "Admiral Huang, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for us. I think you should reconsider pledging your allegiance to Lie Fan, don't worry about the others I could help you to garner support."

Huang Zu: "Deng Long! Don't you see how heavy the situation is right now?! If you want to pledge your allegiance to Lie Fan then you can leave and go toward his army to surrender! If you utter those words to me again I will have you executed!"

Deng Long: "Admiral Huang I think both of us agree that you wouldn't do that, and don't need to hide under this righteous facade trying to fight the inevitable, I can see that you have the same mind as me since our last conversation and during our emergency meeting."

Huang Zu: "You?! Get out of here, don't show your face until you have come to your senses! I have a town and tens of thousands life in my hands it was my responsibility to protect!"

Deng Long leaves the command area with a smirk, he knows that while Huang Zu shows such rage and anger he fell into the notion of surrendering to Lie Fan because he hasn't had him arrested or executed but allowed him to roam freely.

While in Jiangxia the battle was raging on and a conspiracy slowly taking place, in You Province at the capital of Gongsun Du something big happened, after Gongsun Du's fainting and Gongsun Gong's rise to power to replace his father momentarily, he ousted both the loyalist faction and neutral faction out from power.

Both factions tried to fight back against Gongsun Gong's suppression, even uniting together to fight back but unfortunately for them, Gongsun Gong already controlled the narrative, and the people of Liaodong have fully supported Gongsun Gong.

Their members either had the power, influence, or money and began to change sides and slowly joined under Gongsun Du's banner, causing them to reach a dead end and finally be ousted from power by Gongsun Gong.

The internal cleaning by Gongsun Gong shows that he has prepared for this for a long time, as he moves very swiftly and decisive leaving no room for his opposition to move or even protect themselves.

Even the people who joined under his banner were surprised by his decisiveness, his maneuver after maneuver was coordinated and without any flaw, like he was afraid that his father would wake up.

Unknown to them all they guessed right, Gongsun Gong was doing everything in a fast and decisive manner because he wanted to cut off the power that Gongsun held, not because he hated his father but to preserve the Gongsun Clan line.

He could see that his father wouldn't surrender and continue fighting against Lie Fan, even if his older brother had been captured, and even though Gongsun Du fainted when he heard the news, Gongsun Gong was 100% sure that his father would continue fighting.

If it's just between them and Lie Fan, Gongsun Gong will not take action into his own hands but Goguryeos in the Southeast began their counterattack, and there are rumors of the Xiongnus movement to the north.

He doesn't want his clan to become like the Gongsun Zan clan, where all of them were eliminated by Yuan Shao except for the women young and old, who either become slaves or sold off to brothels.

Gongsun Gong doesn't want something like this to happen to their clan, even though he knows that Lie Fan is much kinder than Yuan Shao but he doesn't want to take any chances, lest he regret when it is different than his expectations.

Now while his father was unconscious, Gongsun Gong did anything he could to change the power structure and people to his favor, so that when his father became conscious there was nothing he could do except live in retirement.

At this time Gongsun Gong was holding a meeting with his subjects, he was discussing with them the conditions or treaty they would offer to Lie Fan in exchange for their surrender and if the Gongsun Clan could retain some of their power or influence.

Gongsun Gong: "What do you think everyone? We haven't had much time left. The Goguryeos are moving and the Xiongnus would definitely join in the fun, and our army is shrinking at a fast rate while fighting against Lie Fan and his army."

Advisor A: "My Lord, why don't we offer them the most valuable resource we have? which is our horses and the endless supply we have in the form of the Xiongnus."

Gongsun Gong: "It could work in the past but I have received information that Lie Fan has his own Horse farm in Xiapi, it was well protected, and the breed of their horse is exquisite and I'm not sure if our horses are captivating enough."

Advisor B: "Then in addition to our horses, maybe some of the riches we take from the Xiongnus and Goguryeos! We have gained much from our expeditionary against them, In sure that these golds and jades will surely be fascinating enough."

Advisor C: "Lie Fans are very rich, the land under him is very fertile, and his crops now dominate the market, especially with the support of the Mi Clan and the Yu Merchant Group. I think in addition to both our riches and horses, we should declare our allegiance and join under Lie Fan like Lu Kang and the Lu Clan."

Gongsun Gong exclaimed in agreement after hearing the words he wanted to hear, he knew that while the submission faction and the rest of the people he 'invited' to join his side, not all of them wanted to submit to Lie Fan.

So he doesn't say that he decided to pledge allegiance to Lie Fan and submit all of Gongsun Clan's authority toward Lie Fan, because if he is the one who said it then he is 100% sure some of them will do their best to undermine his power.

The other was shocked by the advisor's words and chaos broke out after Gongsun Gong showed his agreement, the people that don't want to truly submit to Lie Fan began to show their presence.

Gongsun Gong seeing that they have jumped out, instructs his guard to escort them out and imprison them while he slowly strips them of their power because he wants a stable handover of power from him to Lie Fan.

Hearing Gongsun Gong's words, before his opposition could even say another word, they were escorted out of the hall to the prison, where they would wait for their judgment from Gongsun Gong.

After seeing that their opposition was expelled, people who shared the same idea as the advisor and Gongsun Gong supported the motion of surrendering and pledging their allegiance to Lie Fan, and receiving his council support Gongsun Gong took out the letter he had drafted beforehand and gave it to a courier to be sent to Lie Fan, which contains intention for parley and discussing the terms of surrender.
