Chapter 490: The Water Will Return to the Heart
Tai Shici, who was covered in blood, didn't even have weapons, galloped to the horse, and shouted ashamedly: "King, the pottery thief's attack is too fierce, the last general is incompetent, and he can't hold it, and now our army is completely collapsed, Chibi can't hold it, quickly withdraw the troops and retreat to Chaisang." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Now that the red cliff has been broken and the navy has been annihilated, Sun Ce can no longer retreat to Xiakou by water, so he can only retreat to Chaisang by land.
"Just like this, he was defeated by the pottery thief, where is the face of this king, where is the face!" Sun Ce knew that the general trend was gone, but because he was concerned about his face, he just couldn't swallow this breath.
"Although Chibi is lost, if we can keep these 20,000 soldiers and horses, our vitality will still be there, as for the lost warships, we Dawu have warships, and we can afford to make up for them, if the whole army is wiped out here, then it will be a real vitality injury!" Even Zhou Yu, who wanted to save face, couldn't help but persuade.
Only this hesitant effort, the Wei army that attacked the shore has broken into the dry camp from three sides, and the banner of the Great Wei King, which symbolizes the pottery merchant, has also appeared in the field of vision.
The moment he saw that Wang Qi, Sun Ce's face changed in shock, and the remaining trace of hesitation was instantly shattered.
He could no longer care about any face or dignity, and shouted: "You are right, withdraw the troops, the whole army should quickly withdraw, and withdraw from the land and water to the Chaisan base camp." β
After that, Sun Ce himself had already turned his horse and went first, running in the direction of the landing port.
Sun Ce was scared away, Zhou Yu followed, and all the Wu generals were frightened and fled in the direction of the landing entrance.
As soon as the main general fled, the entire Wu army's flood and drought camp in Chibi completely collapsed and collapsed.
Chibi, conquer!
β¦β¦
The sun is approaching dusk, the remnant sun is like blood, and the sound of killing is gradually fading away.
The river along the shore was already red, and the muddy water was full of corpses, and as the river waves were constantly slapped onto the shore, from the riverside water camp to the dry camp on the shore, a wide blood-colored carpet stretched away, and the severed limbs and stumps were all over it.
In the sky overhead, a flock of crows were circling and singing, ready to enjoy the long-awaited feast of human flesh, and the ground was full of Wu Zu's corpses.
The potter rode his horse slowly into the dry camp, and when he passed a large banner with the word "Wu" slanted, he kicked the remaining flag to the ground and trampled it over.
Outside the king's tent, the banner of the word "Wu" has been cut off, and it has been replaced by the banner of the king of the word "Wei" flying in the wind.
"King, the second battalion of the Wu army has been taken by us, but unfortunately Sun Ce is so fast, he led 20,000 Wu troops to flee to Lukou first, he should want to escape back to Chaisang by land." Wu Zixu, who came from Pegasus, shouted excitedly.
The potter had no regrets.
In the first battle of Chibi, he captured Gan Ning alive, killed Liu Biao, destroyed 40,000 Wu-Chu coalition troops, nearly 800 ships, and killed Sun Ce in embarrassment, which can be said to be an unprecedented victory.
Such a rich victory, even the potter himself, was a little surprised.
If the battle of Chibi is won, his army can directly take Xiakou, as long as Xiakou is taken, it is equivalent to knocking on the door to Wu.
Sweeping the south of the Yangtze River is already in front of us.
Such a victory is unprecedented.
"Let him jump for a while first, sooner or later this king will take his head!" The potter sneered and snorted disapprehantly.
Wu Zixu was so excited that he said proudly: "When the king raises his troops to attack Wu and break through Jianye, the last general will capture Sun Ce and dedicate it to the king." β
The potter laughed, laughed happily, laughed arrogantly.
"This battle was won, the officers and soldiers of the three armies have worked hard, and the order was sent down, called the soldiers of the three armies, and rested on the spot in the enemy camp in Chibi, first drank him for three days and three nights, and nourished his spirit, and it was not too late for him to attack Xiakou again in the future."
The bloodied soldiers on the left and right were all rejoicing, brandishing their weapons and shouting "Long live my king" in unison to the potters.
"Long live my kingβ"
"Long live my kingβ"
The exuberant cry overshadowed the sound of the waves and rivers, causing the crows hovering overhead to fly in shock, and the heavens and the earth changed color.
With an exhilarating voice, the potter raised his eyes to the east and sneered: "Huang Zu, do you think that if you escape to Xiakou, you will be fine, hmph, what you think is too beautiful, wash your neck, and wait for that knife." β
β¦β¦
At night, the entire Chibi camp was already full of wine, thunderous laughter, and the officers and men of the three armies were drinking wine and eating meat to celebrate this great achievement.
In the king's tent of the Chinese army, the potter sat on top of it and ordered the captive Gan Ning to be escorted up.
A moment later, Gan Ning, who was gray-faced and gloomy, was escorted up by several sergeants.
Gan Ning, who was escorted into the king's tent, did not kneel and stood there like an iron tower, without the slightest sense of humiliation.
"Gan Xingba, your deception plan has been discovered by this king, and now the Wu-Chu coalition army has been wiped out, and now you have nothing to say." The potter looked down at Gan Ning and asked coldly.
Now the potters, with just a wave of their fingers, the soldiers on the left and right can rush forward and chop Gan Ning into meat puree.
"Pottery merchant, you are a martial artist, you are extremely resourceful, I Gan Ning lost to you, I lost convincingly, if I want to kill or chop casually, if I Gan Ning frowns, I will not be a hero!" Gan Ning closed his eyes, looking fearless and calmly going to death.
Jing Ke and other guards on the left and right, their hands were already pressed on the knife, and when the potter waved his hand, they would rush up, and the knives and axes were together, chopping Gan Ning into meat sauce.
The potter didn't make any move for a long time, just stared at Gan Ning, smiled faintly, and looked at the proud and fearless brocade thief with an appreciative gaze.
Gan Ning put on a gesture of generosity and righteousness, waited for a long time, and did not wait for the moment when the pottery merchant gave the killing order angrily, he was suspicious, and couldn't help but open his eyes.
At this time, the potter looked at him with a smile and said: "Gan Ning, this king knows that you are proficient in water warfare, and your strength is superb, and you can come up with a plan to deceive and surrender, which proves that you are resourceful. β
Speaking of this, Gan Ning's figure shook slightly, and a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes, as if the words of the potter were talking about his sadness.
Seeing that he had been moved, the pottery merchant took advantage of the situation and said: "Liu Biao is mediocre, only the family and not the virtuous, now he has been punished by the king, you have to be martyred for him, how to submit to the king, help the king to achieve greatness, this king will call you to show your strengths, and leave a name in history!" β
Show your strengths and leave a name in history......
These eight words of the potter, in Gan Ning's mind, flashed and echoed like thunder, shaking Gan Ning's heart and disintegrating his so-called self-esteem defense line.
At this time, Wei Yan in the tent also stood up and persuaded: "Gan Xingba, the King of Wei is the reincarnation of a saint, the true dragon of Tiance, the decisive battle of Chibi, at the critical moment, the southeast wind suddenly turned into the northwest wind, which is the best witness of God blessing the King of Wei." You and I are not reused by Liu Biao, now there is the King of Wei in front, why not be like me, return to the Ming Lord, open up territory for the King of Wei, unify the world and make contributions, and live up to the ambition of a man! β
Gan Ning saw Wei Yan, an old bureaucrat, and heard Wei Yan's words, and the little remaining concern in his heart was gone.
At this moment, Gan Ning's heart was completely shaken after the persuasion of his former colleague in front of him.
The potter knew that as long as he added the last fire, this Jingxiang fierce general must be in his heart.
At that moment, the potter stood up, and under Gan Ning's surprised gaze, he personally untied Gan Ning's ropes.
Then, he gently patted Gan Ning's shoulder and sighed: "Gan Xingba, you are a genius in the world, this king has the heart to appreciate you, if you really don't want to, this king is not strong, you go and stay for yourself." β
After that, the potter didn't say much, just sat back on the throne, and only looked at Gan Ning quietly, waiting for him to make a decision.
At this moment, in Gan Ning's heart, the hostility towards the potter was gone, and a flattered move quietly grew.
Gan Ningwan didn't expect that he would go against the potter, and now he still resists and refuses to surrender, but the potter not only kills him, but even lets him go.
This bearing, this appreciation, and this courtesy are very different from the treatment he received from Liu Biao and Huang Zu at the beginning.
The potter's bearing of such a master deeply shocked Gan Ning.
After pondering for a long time, Gan Ning let out a long breath, as if he had made an extremely important decision in his life.
Subsequently, there was no hesitation in his eyes, only resoluteness, and immediately pulled down deeply towards the pottery merchant, and said angrily: "Ning is only a brocade thief, but he is so valued by the king, Ning is really grateful, and would rather be obedient to the king, for the great cause of the king to dominate the world, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not hesitate!" β
Gan Ning, finally surrendered.
The potter was overjoyed, and immediately went down the steps again, helped Gan Ning up, and said with a smile: "This king has to Xingba, a water general, why can't he sweep away the pseudo-Wu and unify the south of the Yangtze River in the future." β
Under the excitement, the potter laughed and was extremely pleased.
Gan Ning returned to the Ming Lord, and he was extremely relieved in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
In the king's tent, their kings and ministers laughed heartily.
β¦β¦
Jiangxia County, Xiakou City.
At the head of the city, Huang Zu was carrying his hands behind his back, his brows condensed into a rope, and his solemn eyes were staring at the west.
That is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the direction of Chibi.
In the south of the city, the Yangtze River rolls, and the smoke waves are vast, flowing in front of the city like a jade belt.
On the river, more than 200 warships of various types are arranging in a neat formation, practicing attack and defense on the river.
The big banner with "yellow" trees on each side is flying in the river wind, wave after wave, like an angry wave.
Looking at the orderly fleet in front of him, Huang Zu's slightly solemn face showed a little relief.
Just a few days ago, in the battle of Wulin, he left behind his king Liu Biao, led thousands of remnants, and fled back to Xiakou City in a hurry.
Rendezvous with the original naval army in Xiakou, Huang Zu cobbled together a naval army of nearly 10,000 people.
At this moment, news has been sent back from the upper reaches that Wu has been defeated by Chibi and fled to Chaisang by land.
The loss of Chibi means that the door to Xiakou is open, and he is likely to face the attack of the Wei army.
Huang Zu did not lose his fighting spirit.
What he relied on, in addition to the 10,000 naval army, was the towering Xiakou City at his feet.
"Pottery thief, this Xiakou City is a fortified city that my Huang Zu has painstakingly operated for nearly ten years, it is stronger than Xiangyang and Jiangling, if you have the guts, come and attack me to try......" Huang Zu's proud face gradually revealed a little determination.
He had to be resolute, because there was no way back for him.
Jiangxia is the base camp he has been operating for more than ten years, all his capital is here, if Jiangxia is lost, it is impossible for him to go to Sun Ce.
After all, Sun Jian was killed by him, and the two countries joined forces before, because Sun Ce saw that their Chu State still had a certain amount of strength and something to use, so he would temporarily let go of the revenge of killing his father.
If he loses Jiangxia and goes to Wu to defect as the commander of the light pole, Sun Ce will not kill him.
Therefore, he had no choice but to defend Xiakou.
Therefore, after escaping back to Xiakou, Huang Zucai reorganized the defeated army, and conducted large-scale drills on the river for several days, not so much in training, but in showing his muscles to the pottery merchants, in order to show that his strength still exists, and he wanted the pottery merchants to be a little jealous of the large-scale attack on Jiangxia.
