Suddenly, it was still when the Wu army had time to evacuate in the future.

At this moment, the Jingzhou soldiers upstream controlled the warships one after another, turned sharply, killed them, and shouted angrily.

The roar was like a tidal wave, and it was extremely loud.

The so-called: blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

Just when Guan Yu led the main force to kill, the raging east wind couldn't help but become more violent.

Gradually, the fire in the harbor became more and more intense, and the speed of its spread became faster and faster!

"Ahh

At this moment, Wu Shu, who was trapped internally and externally, saw that there was a Jingzhou army in front of him and a fire raging in the back, and the defense line in his heart finally collapsed instantly, and then he roared in horror and scurried around the ship.

The morale of the army collapsed in an instant.

"Ugh."

"Xingba, Wen Xiang, evacuate the whole army."

"If we delay any longer, our entire army will be wiped out here!"

With a deep sigh, Lu Xun couldn't help but soften his eyes and muttered an order.

In this battle, God really helped the enemy.

In the past few days, Lu Xun has also sent a wide range of spies, and also found out that the supply in the Jingzhou army has been unsustainable, as early as three days ago, Guan Yu sent foot soldiers who did not participate in the war to start fishing along the coast to make a living.

However, fresh fish is not a long-term food, and it is good to maintain it for a short time, but after a long time, the food is exhausted, can the Jingzhou army eat fish to satisfy hunger without needing to supplement food?

In this way, Guan Yu was forced to give up continuing to fight for Hanjin and return by land instead.

In this way, the Wu army was able to use Hanjin as a hub for controlling the Yangtze River.

Even if they can't fully control Jingzhou this time, they can completely control the waters of the Yangtze River and cut off the waterway between Xiangyang and Nanjun.

However, Lu Xun's strategy was shattered by this sudden east wind today.

After all, if it weren't for the east wind raging, even if the Jingzhou army was lurking downstream, how could it stir up the fire strategy, burn Hanjin, and threaten their own army?

"Ugh."

With a few sighs, thousands of Wu troops, led by Lu Meng, Xu Sheng and others, gathered troops to protect the main ship, and slowly fled to the side!

At this time, the soldiers of Wu had already been hit by this succession, and the army's morale was lost, and when they heard of the retreat, they increased their efforts to control the warships.

In the blink of an eye, Wu's army quickly fled and headed downstream in the east.

As for Wu's pawn, who had no time to escape, he was also killed with full authority after the arrival of the Jingzhou army.

"The armies obeyed the order, and killed the remnants of the army they encountered, leaving no one alive."

At this moment, rushing to a Wu Dou ship, Governor Zhao Lei swung his knife and killed several Wu pawns, and gave the order sharply.

Because of the fierce battle with the Wu army in the past few days, the generals of Jingzhou and even the soldiers under their command have already held back their anger.

At this time, with Zhao Lei's military order, the soldiers under his command were still in charge of the prisoners of war, and they waved the butcher knives in their palms one after another, slashing at the already panicked Wu pawn.

In a moment's effort, except for the main force of the fleeing Wu army, the rest of the remnants were killed.

"The whole army avoids."

"Avoid fire."

At this moment, the east wind became more and more violent, and the speed of the spread of the fire slowly doubled, and Guan Yu, who was standing on the building ship behind him, saw this, his face was slightly gloomy, and he couldn't help but shout.

When the order was passed, the Jingzhou soldiers also dispersed from the flanks when they heard the news.

In an instant, the fire spread, and the tributaries around Hanjin and the boundless night sky were all soaked red.

A moment of effort.

In the distance, Zhao Zhongzheng slowly led more than 1,000 people to control the ship and converged with the main army.

on the main ship.

"Zhao Zhong, this battle can break the Wu army, you can be said to have contributed a lot!"

Seeing each other, Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes condensed slightly, facing Zhao Zhong, a resolute and burly general in military uniform, and said loudly.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhong hurriedly showed a humble face, and arched his hand and said, "Junhou, you are too modest." ”

"This strategy was planned by the young general at the beginning, and loyalty is just implemented according to it, how can it be meritorious?"

"Haha."

A seat fell.

Guan Yu laughed first to show his inner joy.

"Guan Ping's work, Ben Shuai has his own plans."

"You can lead the army to hide downstream for a few days, without being detected by the Wu army, and finally help my main army defeat the Wu thieves and defeat Lu Xun tonight, such a feat, this commander will not hope!"

When the words fell, he couldn't help but think for a while, and stroked his beard and said: "I heard that you followed Guan Ping's lone army to make war exploits and was named the temporary governor of a thousand people?" ”

"Gentleman, that's true."

"Okay, that marshal will officially crown you as a partial general today, commanding more than 2,000 troops."

The voice fell.

Zhao Zhong's face suddenly appeared with great joy, and his eyes couldn't help but look at his brother Zhao Lei from the side to show his joy.

"In the end, the general will live up to the grace of the promotion of the prince and the marquis, and he will do his best in the future to make new contributions."

In an instant, Zhao Zhong's words were firm, and he arched his hand and said loudly.

As a general, he can be regarded as officially entering the ranks of senior generals, and he will also be able to have the honor of serving the military in the future.

Done!

At this moment, Ma Liang also quickly rushed to the boat.

"Ji Chang, you don't stick to the camp, lead the foot soldiers, and come here, do you have something important?"

With Ma Liang arriving, Guan Yu looked serious and said in a deep voice.

"Junhou, Liang came quickly when he learned that Junhou had attacked Wu with fire."

"Our army must not delay here, and should follow the fleeing Wu army to pursue and capture Xiakou."

As soon as he said a word, Ma Liang's face remained unchanged, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he said his intention to come.

"Capture Xiakou?"

"According to the news reported by Zhao Zhong, now Lu Meng, the governor of the Wu army, has led more than tens of thousands of troops to the city of Jiangling, set up camp to besiege the city, and is fiercely attacking."

"Then, Lu Meng also ordered Ling Tong and Sun Huan to send 10,000 troops to the west to take the dangerous points in Yidu, wanting to cut off the connection between our army and Shuzhong and completely isolate our army."

"The current situation is not good for our army!"

"Now that our army has broken the Wu army, it should move forward quickly, cross the river and return to defend Jiangling, and fight a decisive battle with Lü Meng, how can we continue to advance eastward and go to attack Xiakou?"

"Xiakou is the hinterland of Jiangdong, about two days away from Hanjin."

At this time, hearing the news of this policy, Governor Zhao Lei took the lead in expressing his views and said loudly.

Although he did not explicitly refuse to take Xia Kou, his attitude was clearly expressed between his words.

Similarly, Guan Yu's face remained unchanged at this time, and he said calmly: "Ji Chang, take Xiakou, is it good for our army at this moment?" ”

"After all, Nanjun is the foundation of our army, and there is no room for failure!"

"But on the other hand, Xiakou is located in the upper reaches of Chibi, which is the hinterland of Jiangdong, what is the benefit?"

A seat fell.

Obviously, Guan Yu also did not agree with Xiakou's strategy.

After all, Nanjun is weak, and now it is the right way to quickly return to the defense and reinforcements.

At this time, Ma Liang looked around, seeing that all the generals were staring at him with strange eyes, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, then faced Guan Yu, and said loudly: "Junhou, generals, Xiakou must be taken!" ”

"Because, Xiakou is related to whether our army can continue to sit in Jingzhou in the future."

"In this battle, the Wu army is newly defeated, and its remnants must have no heart to fight, with Lu Xun's approach, he will definitely retreat to the public security to tell Lu Meng the truth about the battle."

"In this way, this is also a plan for the present, when the Xiakou garrison is the weakest, it is also the only opportunity for our army to seize the opportunity."

When the words fell, the former governor Zhao Lei looked suspicious, and said: "Ji Chang, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Why does our army have to take Xiakou?"

After a pause, his brows furrowed, and he muttered: "If our army takes Xiakou, it will inevitably border Wenpin in Jiangbei." ”

"However, our army has newly captured Jingzhou, and once Xiakou is taken, the garrison pressure will definitely double."

"Therefore, what's the point of taking the summer mouth?"

When the words fell, all the generals around them nodded frequently, expressing their support for Zhao Lei's opinion, and then they all wondered, why did Ma Liang come up with this strategy?
