Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 554: Return aid

Just when Lu Bu was about to lead his army back, a huge shout suddenly sounded in the previously deserted thorny mountains and forests in all directions. In an instant, I saw flags rolling and crowds, and thousands of enemy troops seemed to suddenly come from Drilled out of the ground in general. Lu Bu was shocked and hurriedly swung his army to fight.

Arrows flew all over the sky, making Lu Bu's war cavalry turn on its back. The war cavalry wanted to start a charge, but was blocked by the jagged rocks and thorns and couldn't rush! The Dongwu Army besieged from all directions, Rulin's spear knocked Lv Bu Zhanqi down! Lu Bu led his army to fight for a while, not only failed to repel the opponent's onslaught, but his own situation became increasingly disadvantaged. Lu Bu was very annoyed, and urged the red rabbit to go straight to the mountain to kill! The red rabbit horse is truly extraordinary, with no hooves touching the ground, clouds under his feet, flying away among the thorns and rocks, Fang Tian's painted halberd killed the enemy army and flew around, no one can be like him!

At this moment, countless spears flew down from the mountain, Lu Bu was shocked, and quickly restrained the Chitu horse and brandished Fang Tian's painted halberd to block all the spears from flying! At this time, there were huge screams from the bottom of the mountain. Lu Bu couldn't help but look back uneasy. He suddenly saw that his officers and soldiers were falling down under the onslaught of the opponent. Even Cao Xing was knocked to the ground by countless spears. It's the soul returned to the underworld! Lu Bu's heart was shocked, and he had no intention of fighting. He quickly turned his horse back and ran back to his army, brandished Fang Tian's halberd and killed dozens of Soochow soldiers, and then led his army to the west to break through. The Eastern Wu army tried to encircle Lu Bu's army, but they couldn't stop Lu Bu. They killed him and fled to the west by a **** road.

Lü Bu led his army rushing out for more than a dozen miles, but he stopped when he saw that the enemy hadn't chased him. Lu Bu thought of Cao Xing, and asked in a loud voice; "Cao Xing! Is Cao Xing here?" An officer came forward to report: "General Qi, I did not see General Cao Xing." Lu Bu remembered seeing the scene before and felt Cao Xing. Sex is scary. I couldn't help but glanced at the officers and soldiers in front of me, feeling that they were almost half missing, and I couldn't help but feel very angry. I wanted to smash Sun Jian's corpse into thousands of pieces to relieve my hatred.

"Hou Cheng!" Lu Bu shouted.

However, no one responded. Lu Bu, who was in a bad mood, became very annoyed. He raised his voice and shouted, "Hou Cheng!"

An officer came to clasp his fist and said, "General Qi, his subordinates saw General Hou Cheng being shot down by Chaos Arrow. They should have died in the Chaos Army!" Lu Bu was shocked.

After occupying Jiangxia, Chen Lang led his army to pursue eastward. Lu Bu led the cavalry to the front as the forward, and Chen Lang led the main force to follow behind. However, after traveling for dozens of miles, Chen Lang found that the road was getting harder and harder to walk. He was obviously already very waved to catch up with the Dongwu army, who was familiar with the local terrain. So he ordered the army to stop pursuing and return to Jiangxia. At the same time, he sent Lu Bu's troops back immediately Jiang Xia.

Soon after Chen Lang led his army back to Jiangxia, he received a report that Lu Bu was ambushed by the Dongwu army at the mouth of the thorns, causing heavy losses and Cao Xing and Houcheng two generals were killed. Soon after, Lu Bu led the remnants back to Jiangxia. Lu Bu asked Chen Lang to fight with an indignant look: "Master, please let me lead an army to fight again! If you don't take off Sun Jian's head, I will not come back to see the lord!"

Chen Lang said: "Victory or defeat is a common matter for soldiers. You don't have to be overly angry. You have worked **** this journey. Go and rest first."

Lu Bu was full of indignation, but after listening to Chen Lang's words, he couldn't help feeling a breath of exhaustion rushing to his heart, clasped his fists to promise, and withdrew.

Chen Lang frowned and said, "The situation in Jiangnan is no better than that in the north. The successful tactics in the north do not seem to be suitable for the south."

Ma Liang couldn't help but nodded and said: "The lord's words are extremely true. The situation in the south is completely different from the north. The north has no official roads. It is more convenient for the army to march in the wilderness. However, the south is a different situation, not only lacks official roads, Moreover, the mountains are undulating everywhere with thorns and rocks, and there are many miasma entrenched in the wilderness. It is very difficult for the army to march. However, the southern water network is densely covered with rivers and can reach almost anywhere from the waterway. Therefore, it is necessary to calm the south of the Yangtze River. Rely on the navy."

Chen Lang couldn't help but nodded. Recalling the plot in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Chen Lang was watching TV dramas, he had a big puzzle. Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao. The entire Jingzhou, except Jiang Xia, fell into the hands of Cao Cao. Among them, Baling, Changsha, etc. The county is south of the Yangtze River. Why did Cao Cao enter Soochow from the waterway east instead of attacking Jiangdong from Baling and Changsha? Chen Lang now understands this question. Cao Cao didn't want to, but couldn't.

A messenger rushed in from the outside and reported to Chen Langdi: "Lord Qi, the subordinates have been ordered to bring an autograph letter from Army Master Zhuge." Then he took the bag containing the assembly from the north and presented it with both hands. Chen Lang took the bag, opened it, took out the bamboo slips, shaken it open, and looked at it again. Then he smiled and said: "Sun Ce Zhou Yu stopped attacking Nanjun, and the army is rushing towards the south of the Yangtze River. The Jiangdong navy has already withdrawn from Xiangjiangkou to help Sun Ce Zhou Yu seize the ferry."

Guan Yu laughed loudly and said, "Everything is as expected!"

Ma Liang clasped his fist and said, "Lord, our army can move."

Chen Lang nodded and said to Guan Yu: "Chang Yun, your handsome 60,000 elite rushed to the direction of the ferry to intercept Zhou Yu and Sun Ce." Guan Yu clasped his fists and agreed and left immediately.

Chen Lang looked at the bamboo slips in his hands, his face was thoughtful.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were shocked when he learned that Chen Lang was in Jiangnan and led his army to capture Jiang Xia in one fell swoop. Sun Ce exclaimed in disbelief: "How is this possible? How could Chen Lang appear in Jiangnan?"

Zhou Yu was depressed and indignant, frowning: "We are all fooled! It is not their suspicious strategy to go south to Jiangxia, but their main attack direction!" Then he said to Sun Ce: "We can't delay, we must return to Jiangnan immediately!" Sun Ce Nodded, then gave the order.

More than 200,000 Jiangdong army quickly assembled, abandoned the camp overnight and hurried south. At the same time, the Dongwu navy, who was originally responsible for the blockade of the Qin navy in the Xiangjiang River, also received the order and quickly rushed to the Yangtze River ferry.

The Qin army guarding the ferry had only 10,000 horses, and the Dongwu army killed them. They did not make any resistance, but quickly avoided according to the order left by Chen Lang in advance. Seeing that his side had easily occupied the ferry, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. However, rushing back to the south of the Yangtze River was the most urgent task at this moment, and Zhou Yu suppressed his doubts.

The Soochow army captured the ferry and quickly collected rafts and felled timber to build a pontoon bridge. At this moment, Guan Yu led sixty thousand elites to the opposite side of the Yangtze River Ferry. At the same time, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun's navy also came. Two Qin troops on the land and water violently attacked the Dongwu army which was building the pontoon. The Dongwu army suffered heavy casualties. Less than half of the pontoons built were destroyed, and the wreckage drifted with the flow. The Dongwu Army refused to give up, and used naval forces to resist Cai Tao and Zhang Yun, while riding across the river with boats and rafts to assault the Guan Yu army. On the water road, the killing sound shook the sky, and the flesh and blood flew in the shadow of the sword! The battle is very tragic!

The fierce battle lasted for a whole day, and the soldiers and horses of both sides suffered considerable losses, but the Soochow Army failed to break through the blockade of the Qin Army. Seeing the sunset, the Dongwu army had vented its spirit and had to stop the offensive and retreated, forming a joint camp on the north bank. At night, there was silence in the Soochow Army, and a depressed atmosphere could be clearly felt even in the south of the Yangtze River.

Guan Yu stood by the river, looked at the Dongwu army camp on the north shore, smiled proudly, and said: "It is said that Sun Ce is brave and Zhou Yu is resourceful. I think it is nothing more than that! Now it is like a turtle in the urn, and defeat is only a matter of time!" Zhou Cang said with joy: "If it weren't for the generals here, they wouldn't be able to stop them!" Guan Yu smiled and stroked the long beard under his jaw.

Despite what Guan Yu said, he did not underestimate the enemy, making all armies take turns to be on guard.

The Soochow Army and the Qin Army fought for three days, during which the Soochow Army attacked five times, but each time they suffered heavy casualties and failed to make the slightest breakthrough.

In the evening of that day, the Soochow Army, which had been attacking for most of the day, finally retreated. All the Qin army units were also very tired, one was on guard, and the rest of the soldiers and horses all went back to the camp to rest.

Guan Yu took off his shirt, walked to Shuai's case and sat down. Yang Feng walked in, clasped his fist and said, "General, the Soochow Army has completely retreated to the North Bank."

Guan Yu nodded, thinking: "I wonder if Sun Ce Zhou Yu's camp is still enough?"

Yang Feng thought for a while, clasped his fist and said, "It must be sufficient. Otherwise, they would not give up and return to Jiangnan and continue to attack Nanjun that day."

Guan Yu nodded, and then said: "Most of the past few days, Wu Jun has come to attack us. Tonight I will go the other way and beat them by surprise." Then he said to Yang Feng: "Yang Feng, you led the officers and soldiers to guard the camp. "Yang Feng clasped his fist and promised. Guan Yu said to Zhou Cang again: "Zhou Cang, immediately send someone to inform Cai Yuan and Zhang Yun, and tell them to prepare the ship, and I will raid the enemy camp tonight." Zhou Cang promised and ran down.

Unknowingly, it moved the dead of night. Guan Yu led Zhou Cang to board the ship sent by Cai Tao and Zhang Yun with thirty thousand elites, and then slowly crossed the river from the downstream. Maybe it was God who helped Guan Yu. At this time, the moon was already covered by clouds, and the surface of the river was dim. It could be said that he could barely see his fingers. The fleet had no electric lights, and experienced sailors had little visibility to steer the ship to the opposite shore.

Soon after, the fleet slowly landed on the north shore, and Qin army officers and soldiers quickly landed ashore. The Wu Jun sentry on the shore observation tower did not expect that the Qin Jun would come for a surprise attack, all of them were in their dreams. When they were shocked, they had already returned to the underworld.

Qin Jun quickly crossed Wu Jun's cordon, and the Dongwu camp appeared in front of him. Guan Yu screamed: "It's tonight to destroy Soochow! Children, kill me!" Thirty thousand elites shouted fiercely, like a landslide, and 30,000 elites poured into the camp of Soochow like wolves, tigers and leopards!
