Page "Lü Meng" Paragraph 4

In the spring of 208, Lü Meng was tasked to be the navy commandant when Sun Quan set out to battle his nemesis Huang Zu again in the Battle of Jiangxia.

During the war, Ling Tong and Dong Xi brought down Huang Zu's two super-sized capital war ships.

Then Lü Meng's regiment crushed Huang Zu's navy, and Lü personally killed the enemy admiral Chen Jiu ( 陳就 ), while Ling Tong breached the castle wall.

After the battle, Sun Quan deemed Lü Meng's contribution as the most significant, as Chen Jiu's death ensured Sun Quan's victory, Ling Tong's contribution as second, for Ling destroyed Huang's capital ships and took over the city, and Dong Xi the third, as he broke the connection between the two capital ships, and destroyed them.

From this point on, Lü Meng had been moving up the ranks.
