Chapter 183: Taking Baqiu while the chaos is taking place
"Collapse!"
It was like a blow that shattered the heavens and the earth, and it came out again.
One blow!
Guan Ping suddenly spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and there were faint traces of blood leaking out of the original injury.
Obviously, his injuries couldn't help but get a few points worse.
Merely.
Zhu Huan on the other side was involuntarily injured in his internal organs, and his arms with guns seemed to be filled with lead, and he was powerless to fight again!
At this time, with a blow, he looked extremely embarrassed, and he had long lost his previous spirit.
In the next second, Zhu Huan didn't dare to fight again, so he fled first!
For a while, as Guan Ping repelled General Wu with injuries, the morale of the surrounding Jingzhou soldiers couldn't help but rise more and more, and they formed formations to slash and kill Wu soldiers, as if no one was in a realm at this moment!
On the other hand, the Wu army, due to Zhu Huan's defeat, the army's morale plummeted instantly.
The defense line of the Wu army was slowly crumbling at this time.
On the other hand, it was only said that the Wu army, which was encircling and annihilating Liaohua's headquarters in the direction of Hukou, suddenly fled at this moment and galloped away from the battlefield.
"Lord Liao, the Wu army has retreated with full authority, and is now slowly taking a boat on the coast, rushing to the public security on the south bank!"
Half-hearted, the Jingzhou army scouts also quickly reported the latest news.
"Wu Jun retreated?"
"Now is the most critical moment for the Wu army to encircle and annihilate our army, and our army can't hold on for long, why did Lu Meng withdraw at this time?"
Hearing the news, at this time, the school general from the side couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face, and muttered.
Immediately, Liao Hua's face remained unchanged and asked, "But what happened to the rear of the Wu army?" β
Hearing this, the scout suddenly showed great joy and said with a smile: "Lord Liao, what you said is good!" β
"The whole Wu army retreated, but the major general led thousands of elites to kill first, attacking the Wu army that was sticking to the warships and armaments along the coast, because the major general's combat strength was strong, the Wu thief defense line couldn't resist it at all!"
"LΓΌ Meng was worried about the loss of the warship's armament, so he withdrew his troops."
Immediately afterwards, the scout went deep into the process of how Guan Ping and the others broke through the defense line of the Wu army.
After hearing this, the generals instantly showed admiration on their faces, and said in unison: "Young general, the strength of bravery is no less than that of the former prince!" β
"It seems that it is really a tiger father without a dog."
At this time, the generals can also not help but show admiration, and the words of praise can be described as overflowing!
Under Gangneung Castle, along the coast.
"Major General."
"More than 10,000 elites returned to the defense, but they did not break through the defense line of Wu thieves, but even the major general and other soldiers sacrificed their lives to rescue."
"I am ashamed of the prince's entrustment, and I ask the major general to punish him!"
Just led the crowd to converge, Liao Hua knelt on the ground first, hugged his fists and sincerely asked for guilt.
This time, Liao Hua was really guilty.
It must be known that the more than 10,000 foot soldiers he led were all elites in the army, and they did not fall behind in the front line against the elite of the Cao army, but in this battle, he led the crowd not only failed to break through the defense line of the Wu army, but was almost annihilated by the whole army.
It's hard to imagine, it's not a matter of ability.
Otherwise, why did Guan Ping lead the crowd to raid the Wu army twice, and he was able to win a big victory?
Merely.
At this time, Guan Ping, whose injuries had just been bandaged simply, immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Liao Hua, and said slowly: "Yuan Jian doesn't have to be like this!" β
"Although you are the commander of our army's elite against Wu thieves, after all, after this has been fighting fiercely with the elite Cao army on the front line for several months, the soldiers are naturally tired, and their combat power has decreased slightly."
"On the other hand, the Wu army is ahead of the construction of the defense line, and it is difficult to break through, which is understandable!"
A seat fell.
Liao Hua got up slowly, couldn't help but thank him, and his eyes showed gratitude to Guan Ping.
He is not a fool, so he naturally knows that Guan Ping's words just now are just to add a touch of face to him!
Of course, Guan Ping's doing this is also a means of appeasement.
When Liao Huachu was hit and his self-confidence was the most fragile, if Guan Ping was severely rectified, it would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, which would make him lose face even more and lose his prestige in the army.
Like today's pacification means, it can not only soothe Liao Hua's heart, but also make him grateful and work hard.
Immediately, Guan Ping's eyes were firmly fixed on the surging river, and after half a sound, he suddenly came back to his senses and said sharply: "Everyone, now that the Wu army has just retreated, Lu Meng must rectify the affairs of the army, and he will have no time to take care of the rest of the place. β
"I think again, now is probably the best time for our army to attack Baqiu."
As soon as the words fell, the generals suddenly looked embarrassed, and then they looked at him one after another, with doubts in their eyes.
Half-loud kung fu.
Deng Ai on the side saw the doubts on the faces of the generals, so he couldn't help but stand up first, faced the generals, and said with a smile: "Everyone, in fact, the young general's policy, according to Ai's opinion, can be implemented." β
"At this stage, the Wu army is initially defeated, and LΓΌ Meng must first rectify the morale of the army, and he will not pay too much attention to the rest of the places, plus Baqiu itself is an important town connecting the Xiangjiang River and the Yangtze River."
"He would definitely not have thought that his side had just withdrawn from the siege, and our army would dare to lead the laborers to attack Baqiu.
After a pause, Deng Ai looked around, and saw Guan Ping's eyes signaling him to continue, so he couldn't help but clear his throat and continued to explain: "Secondly, according to intelligence, Huang Gai, who was originally stationed in Changsha, had already been ordered by General Lu Meng to lead the people westward to take the two counties of Wuling and Lingling. β
"So, this is by far the emptiest time for Bachu."
"Taking a step back, if Huang Gai takes the second county smoothly, then our army will completely fall in the Jingnan area, and this situation will be a clamp on our army in the future, when the Wu army occupies most of Jingzhou."
"In any case, for both public and private purposes, our side must fight and take the important town of Baqiu in order to occupy a favorable situation in the next confrontation."
As Deng Ai's voice settled, the generals couldn't help nodding frequently when they heard the news.
This is indeed a very reasonable analysis!
Of course, they also knew Guan Ping's temperament, once the decision on this matter was made, it would never be changed again, and the generals did not persuade him again.
The plan has been decided.
Guan Ping then ordered Liao Hua to lead the main force of the headquarters back to defend Jiangling City, and together with the defenders in the city, garrison the city to prevent the Wu army from besieging the city again, and he decided to personally lead thousands of elite soldiers and horses under his command to attack the important town of Baqiu.
Not only that, Guan Ping also quickly sent troops into the city, escorted hundreds of Wu prisoners of war, and Wu general Jiang Qin, and rushed to Wulin Port together, preparing to take a boat from the port from the Yangtze River into the waters of the Xiangjiang River, and seize Baqiu Port by surprise.
At the same time, night is falling.
After crossing the river for more than half a day, the main force of Wu's army gradually sailed into the Gong'an Port and began to slowly assemble.
At this moment, Sergeant Wu slowly disembarked from the warship, but he had no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit.
Lu Meng also saw all this in his eyes at this time.
