Chapter 42: Chen Qun's helplessness
Under the city of Biyang
At this time, more than 10,000 soldiers of Cao, who were known as the elite, fled desperately like lost dogs.
There were no other factors, just because the main general Xiahou Nan was already frightened and fled frantically, naturally, the soldiers followed.
It will be the courage of the soldiers, and the soldiers will naturally be like the main generals.
After galloping wildly for a long time, Xiahou Nan saw that he had arrived at the gate of the city, and suddenly pulled the reins, forcing the war horse to stop, and then gasped for breath.
After a while, looking at the soldiers behind him who were slowly beginning to assemble, his mind gradually calmed down, and he lost the thrill just now.
After a long time, the various departments arrived at the assembly in turn, and Chen Qun galloped over, his face was already defeated, but his eyes were extremely resentful, and he glared at Xiahou Nan tightly, revealing a kind of hatred for iron and steel.
"General, why are you so frightened, take a closer look, can the thief army be pursued?"
At this time, Chen Qun was not good at speaking and questioned.
Hearing this, Xiahou Nan had already held his breath, and in a blink of an eye, he regained the arrogant aura of the family, and couldn't help but say coldly: "Chen Qun, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Our army was ambushed by water thieves, didn't we flee quickly, waiting to be surrounded and annihilated?"
Hearing this, Chen Qun was choked and couldn't speak......... The main thing is still speechless!
"General, haven't you noticed, except for the initial loss of 100 people in the forest, our army has basically not suffered many casualties along the way."
"What are you trying to express?"
After speaking, Chen Qun was really tired at the moment, and he didn't want to say any more, he had already prompted to this point, and Xiahou Nan hadn't reacted yet.
"Xiahou Nan, you really don't want to lead the troops into battle in the future, and you can rest assured that you will be a son of the family and wait for death."
Of course, this was not explicitly stated, but he was secretly thinking about it.
"General, at this point, the situation has become extremely obvious, although the water thieves have ambush troops, they are still not strong enough, at least compared to our army, there is still a gap."
"Otherwise, the water thieves should be chasing and following our army all the way at this moment, taking the opportunity to capture Biyang City, instead of chasing half of it, and just recapturing the water village on the shore."
"It can be seen from this that if the general was able to reorganize his troops and attack in formation after the water thieves entered the village, he must have wiped out this gang of thieves by this time!"
Now, Chen Qun explained with his hands, and there was a hint of pity in his words.
When he fled, Chen Qun saw that the water thieves were only pursuing to the shore, so he stopped, and at that time, he suddenly realized that the thief army was not strong enough to attack his own side rashly.
However, just as he was about to persuade Xiahou Nan to reorganize his army, break through the water village in one fell swoop, and wipe out all the water thieves, Xiahou Nan had already disappeared.
At that moment, Chen Qunxin was pulling out the cold!
"As the commander of an army, but he has not done anything, how can he be a general?"
Hearing Chen Qun's analysis, Xiahou Nan suddenly realized that he had missed a great achievement in a panic.
"Sir, quickly gather your troops and go back with Ben to fight back!"
Hearing this, Chen Qun's face stiffened, and then he said lightly: "General, now is the time to mourn, and there is no chance of winning at this time." ”
"The so-called one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, our army has been evacuated to the city, the army's heart has been discharged, and the thief army is also sticking to the water village."
"The fighter plane is gone!"
At the same time, although Xiahou Nan regretted it, he didn't have much baggage, so he ordered the whole army to return to the city.
Seeing his relaxed face, Chen Qun smiled wryly and muttered secretly: "Pi Gongzi, in the future, Qun will never follow Xiahou Nan with the army." ”
This time, Chen Qun seemed to feel that he was really tired of assisting him.
Shore, water village
"Report, Governor Deng, we have already found out that since the defeat and retreat, this water thief has been galloping south for dozens of miles, and then there is a lack of boats and cannot cross the river."
"That's why it's been lingering there!"
In the village, several scouts who were responsible for going to investigate the water thieves returned one after another at this time, telling Deng Ai about the military situation.
After hearing this, Deng Ai sometimes pondered, and sometimes muttered: "Can't cross the river, wandering on the bank?" ”
"Is it .........?"
In the next second, Deng Ai seemed to be thoughtful, and his face suddenly became happy.
As for the more than thirty miles south of the water village at this time, near a shallow beach near the water, hundreds of remnants of the water thieves are standing here with a low heart!
The leader, Liu Jia, looked at the turbulent water tightly, and couldn't help but think: "Now that we have lost the ship, how can we go south?" ”
After thinking for a while, Liu Jia muttered: "I also plan to take advantage of its unpreparedness to take Biyang City first, unite the forces of the major mountains with might, and then threaten Xu Capital together to create opportunities for the prince to be on the front line." ”
"I didn't expect that Xu Du would react so quickly and have already led the crowd south."
The development of the battle situation was somewhat unexpected, and Liu Jia was keenly aware at this time that he had lost the opportunity to capture Biyang, and if he did not evacuate, once he waited for Cao's army to stabilize here.
Then, these hundreds of remnants of their own army alone will definitely be the target of key attacks.
Just when Liu Jia was full of thoughts, a minion quickly ran to his side, panting: "Tell the big leader, the water village has been occupied by another water thief, and the scale should be more than a thousand." ”
"The strength is not much different from our army!"
Hearing this, Liu Jia was slightly surprised, and said softly: "Oh, water thief? ”
After thinking for a moment, he seemed to think of something, and wondered: "Hey, no, I've been rampant along the coast of Bishui for several years, and I haven't heard of anyone near here who can compete with our army." ”
"Where did this water thief come from?"
After thinking for a while, Liu Jia didn't know how a water thief with not weak strength suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"What should I do next?"
It's just that at this time, Liu Jia is also facing a multiple-choice question, how to choose.
"If it weren't for that water thief who set up an ambush in the dense forest in advance today, I'm afraid our army's losses would have been even heavier!"
"From this point of view, this water thief is also rebelling against the Cao army, and at present, it is not an enemy for the time being."
"It's just that they occupy the water village, and they have warships, how should our army go south and defect to Guan Junhou?"
Liu Jia thought secretly, and Ban Xiang didn't know how to choose.
He groaned for a while, and several thoughts came to his mind.
"Send people to Shuizhai to negotiate with the other party, and ask them to give up their warships for our army to go south."
"No, let's directly lead the army to attack and recapture the water village."
"It's just that it's only a big defeat, and my strength is damaged, and I'm afraid that the strength of the strong attack is insufficient, so it's better to wait until the night and take the opportunity to sneak attack."
For a while, Liu Jia thought about it, and after thinking for a while, he finally finalized it, and chose to wait for the night, quietly attack the water village, and recapture it.
Although this water thief set up an ambush today and defeated Cao's army for a while, allowing them to escape safely, Liu Jia knew at this time that if he did not have a warship, it would be impossible for him to go south to the Xiangfan front line and defect to the Jingzhou army.
"Now that the Cao army has arrived, we must evacuate quickly, otherwise there will be a danger of overturning!"
Liu Jia groaned to himself, and gradually made up his mind.
Then he faced the direction of Shuizhai and muttered to himself: "Although you waited to save me once, for the safety of my department, you can only take revenge." ”
