In the waters of Yuecheng, drums rumbled on the river, and the sound of horns conveyed a solemn atmosphere.

The pseudo-Chen warships lined up in a mighty formation, approaching the distant Qiuba City.

On the giant ship, the young Tan Dao stood majestically, holding his sword.

He was handsome, and his eyes flashed with a determined light.

After a few days of rest, he led 30,000 naval forces and prepared to launch a large-scale attack on Zhuge Dan's troops in Yuecheng.

He had carefully planned tactics to fight against Zhuge Dan, and he must recapture the Yuecheng fortress before the Han army's reinforcements arrived.

"Send an order!"

Tan Dao's voice was firm:

"I will not retreat until I take Yuecheng today!"

He drew his sword and pointed it forward, his voice was stern.

The soldiers on the river were in high spirits. They waved their weapons and shouted at the top of their lungs:

"We will not stop fighting until Yuecheng is conquered!"

Tan Dao sheathed his sword and sneered confidently.

Lin Tong, who was standing beside him, secretly admired Chen Ba's ability to judge people. Tan Dao was indeed a genius in naval warfare.

"Today, we will definitely be able to take Yuecheng."

Lin Tong thought to himself. He tightly grasped the sword in his hand, and the flame of confidence ignited in his eyes.

Just then.

A boat came from the rear of the fleet and quickly approached the giant ship.

A scout climbed onto the top of the giant ship and knelt in front of Tan Dao.

"Report to the governor!"

The scout panted and said:

"Hancheng has fallen!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Tan Dao and Lin Tong were shocked.

The soldiers of the pseudo-Chen on the whole ship were instantly in an uproar and fell into astonishment.

Tan Dao's dream was shattered.

Just a moment ago, he was still trying to defeat Zhuge Dan and seize Yuecheng in one battle.

At that time, he fantasized that by relying on the glorious military exploits of seizing Hancheng and Yuecheng, the entire pseudo-Chen would look at him with new eyes.

This bad news ruthlessly shattered his dream.

Why is this happening?

How did Deng Mu do it?

Tan Dao's head was buzzing.

He suddenly woke up and grabbed the intelligence to take a closer look.

The shock on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by heaviness.

A bone-chilling chill passed through his back

The intelligence clearly stated that Deng Mu had frozen the Han River so that he could cross the river and kill Wen Tai by surprise.

Tan Dao exclaimed in his heart:

"I thought of all the possibilities, but I didn't expect that the thief Deng would have such a method?"

"This is a magic that only gods have. How can we mortals compete with it..."

Tan Dao's heart sank, and he suddenly felt helpless.

Lin Tong snatched the information from his hand, and after reading it for a long time, he angrily cursed:

"You are so despicable, you thief Deng, you actually use sorcery in such a despicable way."

"Father, I don't know whether you are alive or dead..."

Lin TongWithout thinking too much, he was simply angry and worried because he learned that Wen Tai was captured.

The pseudo-Chen soldiers on the ship were talking about it and were in a state of panic.

"Seoul has been lost!"

"I heard that Deng Mu used magic to freeze the Han River."

"Too scary, is that man a human or a god?"

"How can we fight against such an enemy? Isn't it doomed to fail?"

Tan Dao heard the panicked discussions of the soldiers, his heart was like a knife, and his fists were clenched.

A rage was burning in his chest.

"What are you panicking about!"

He suddenly shouted, and turned his head to look at all the soldiers:

"Even if that thief Deng knows magic, so what? Even if he is a god, so what?"

"I, Tan Dao, will kill gods when I meet them. Who can stop me!"

The boat suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Tan Dao in shock, as if they were infected by his arrogance.

Lin Tong also stared at Tan Dao in a daze. After a long while, he came back to his senses and said resolutely:

"The governor is right. How can we, the men of Da Chen, be afraid of anyone?"

"Give the order, we will fight back and recapture Seoul."

Tan Dao took a deep breath and ordered sternly: (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Order the whole army to turn the ship around and retreat to Yulin!"

Lin Tong's originally passionate expression suddenly changed.

He thought Tan Dao would lead them back to Seoul, but he didn't expect Tan Dao to order a retreat to Yulin.

"Governor, what do you mean?"

"Don't you want Seoul?"

Lin Tong asked anxiously.

Tan Dao explained in a deep voice:

"The city of Han is strong, and the thief Deng is proficient in military tactics. With our limited military strength, how can we capture it in less than a month?"

"When Zhuge Dan's navy goes all the way east, and cooperates with the thief Deng to attack from both inside and outside, we are in danger of being wiped out."

"I can't take this risk."

"But my father is still in the hands of the thief Deng!"

Lin Tong's voice was filled with tears.

Tan Dao sighed and said helplessly:

"I am also heartbroken that your father fell into the hands of the thief Deng."[]

"But for the sake of the overall situation, I can only make this decision."

"I hope you can understand my difficulties."

Lin Tong wanted to argue something.

Tan Dao interrupted sharply:

"Do you want to disregard the lives of 30,000 soldiers for your own selfish feelings?"

"Do you want to disregard the great cause of King Chen?"

Lin Tong was speechless.

Faced with the situation brought up by Tan Dao to put pressure on him, what else could he say?

Even if his father was captured and even the entire army fell into Deng Mu's hands, he could only accept the military order with pain.

"Let's go quickly."

Tan Dao patted Lin Tong's shoulder and turned away.

Lin Tong stood on the deck, her heart full of entanglement and helplessness. She could only sigh with gritted teeth.

As the order was passed down, the pseudo-Chen warships and pseudo-Chen navy quickly turned around and rushed downstream. .
