Summary

The chapter begins with Commander Xiang Fa urging an attack on the defenseless Jiang Du City to capture Li Yan Qing. Liu Yan Qing opposes this, citing the strategic advantages of their current position. Xiang Zong Liang reveals that Li Yan Qing has secretly mobilized ten thousand troops to Jiang Du, having deceived them into thinking he was vulnerable. The atmosphere shifts as the urgency for defense grows. Commander Rend, leading the navy, is instructed to heighten vigilance due to the potential for a sneak attack. As night falls, two spies observe the increased patrols around the water fortress. They report back to Li Yan Qing, who deduces that the enemy may have spies in Yangzhou, leading to their heightened defenses. The spies reveal a flaw in the enemy's defense regarding the positioning of warships, which could be exploited for an arson attack. As the night progresses, an alarm sounds in the fortress, drawing soldiers away from their posts. Seizing the opportunity, three small boats filled with oil approach the fortress, aiming to set fire to the vulnerable warships.
