"Liyang?"

Hearing Zhang Liao say this, Xu Huang was puzzled: "Why?" ”

"Liyang is on the north bank of the river, and the south bank of the river is Niuzhuji, which is an important camp of the Jiangdong Navy, as long as they can carry a small boat, cross the river from Liyang to Niuzhuji, and a large number of boats can be dispatched to pick up people, they can successfully cross the river and return to Jiangdong!"

As soon as Zhang Liao thought of this, he no longer had any doubts, and immediately reorganized the soldiers and horses, and together with Xu Huang's soldiers and horses, he sorted out three thousand cavalry, and quickly chased in the direction of Liyang.

Zhang Liao's guess was right, more than 10,000 Wu troops who withdrew from Hefei abandoned ships on the east bank of Chaohu Lake and fled to Liyang for their lives.

Liyang had no garrisons and inhabitants before the war, and all resources were withdrawn by Zhang Liao, who had no intention of fighting the Wu army here, so this was already an empty city.

The defeated Wu army soon arrived in Liyang, occupied Liyang effortlessly, and then immediately sent people across the river to Niuzhuji, so that Niuzhuji's sailors sent ships to the north bank of the river to pick up people.

The person who made this decision was naturally Zhou Yu, and the person who assisted him was the veteran Huang Gai.

When the trebuchet was in power, the building boat that Zhou Yu and Sun Quan were riding was the key target, and the building ship was hit by three stone bullets and basically disintegrated.

Zhou Yu pulled Sun Quan and jumped into the water together in a desperate situation, and then swam into the water and boarded a small Meng, several of Zhou Yu's personal soldiers rowed back desperately, and there were seven or eight Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's personal soldiers in the water pushing behind.

After a desperate speed of life and death, the little Mong was lucky enough to avoid the rain of arrows, did not deepen the color of Shi Shui, which had already been dyed blood-red, and swam to the end of the fleet in one breath, and arrived at the rear army of the sailors under the command of Huang Gai.

When a large number of naval warships in front of him were damaged and sunk, the baggage fleet led by Huang Gai was generally intact, and Zhou Yu immediately asked Huang Gai to turn the bow of the ship and retreat.

"I can't stop it, it's too late if I don't leave, General Huang, withdraw immediately!" Give me a few more boats, and I'll save Bo Fu! ”

Huang Gai had no master of the six gods for a while, so he did what Zhou Yu said, protected Sun Quan, and gave Zhou Yu a few small boats.

Let Zhou Yu take a small boat and bring a group of elite soldiers ashore, and then Zhou Yu immediately rushed to the battlefield where the Wei army and the Wu army were fighting in front.

After rushing for a while, he met Han Dang and Dong Raid escorting Sun Ce and a large number of soldiers and horses rushing over, Zhou Yu was overjoyed, and immediately beckoned Sun Ce to rush to the boat, got on the boat and rowed to the large fleet, and asked Huang Gai to continue to send boats to pick up other Jiangdong soldiers.

If you can save one and count one, the more you have to do it, the better, and if you continue to stay on the shore, sooner or later you will be chased and killed by the Wei cavalry.

The main thing is to save Sun Ce, this is the most important thing, although Sun Ce looked at the miserable scene on the shore with a blue face, but he is at least alive.

"Gong Jin, did we lose?"

"Lost, lost completely."

Zhou Yu pursed his lips: "But we still have hope, you are still alive, there are still many people alive, as long as they are all alive, there is still hope!" ”

"But a lot of people died, too."

The green tendons on the back of Sun Ce's hand burst out, and he pinched the edge of the boat stiffly: "Is this the will of heaven?" The heavens are helping Wei Gong, has Gong Jin, the instrument that can throw stones, seen it? Thrown so far, so huge a stone, I've never seen it, what is it? Wouldn't that be providential? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, that's called a trebuchet, it once appeared in the troubled times of the pre-Qin period, and it was recorded in the ancient books of the pre-Qin period, and it was once lost, I don't know where Duke Wei got the trebuchet."

Zhou Yu took a deep breath: "We were defeated by being unprepared, Bo Fu, it's not your fault. ”

"But I killed so many people......"

Sun Ce couldn't hold back crying anymore, bent down in tears, buried his head in his arms, and cried bitterly.

Zhou Yu looked at the battlefield that was gradually moving away, and Sun Wu's soldiers who were running on the land full of desire to survive, he could only hope that the pace of the Wei army would not be so fast, and he hoped that God would give him a little more time, so that he could save a few more Jiangdong soldiers back.

This battle was lost, it was lost very completely, and it was very unwilling.

But despite all the unwillingness, he still lost.

The essence of the Jiangdong Naval Division is finished, and the main army is also destroyed......

That's right, the main force no longer exists.

"Since Zhang Wenyuan used a trebuchet in Jiujiang, then it must have also been used in Lujiang, General Cheng, there is more than ...... good luck and less "

When Han Dang suggested that they immediately enter the water to meet Cheng Pu and retreat, Zhou Yu said this to Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Dong Xi.

Zhou Yu's reaction was still fast, and he had already speculated that Cheng Pu's partial division had also encountered an accident, and the possibility of a fiasco was very high.

Several surviving generals looked at each other, and Sun Quan, who was still young, turned pale with fright, and his body trembled.

Sun Ce lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly, leaning less, but weakly letting go.

"Gong Jin, is there any other way?"

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu gloomily.

Zhou Yu nodded.

"There is only one way, land on the east bank of Chaohu Lake, go to Liyang, send people from the Liyang River to Niuzhuji to find a boat, and cross the river back to Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu proposed the only strategy that seemed feasible at the moment.

"Niu Zhuji has a boat, food, and an army, as long as there is enough time, we can let everyone in this fleet cross the river together, the only thing to consider now is when the Wei army will chase after us."

Zhou Yu looked to the north with an uneasy face: "If Zhang Wenyuan reacts slowly, everyone on our boat can cross the river safely and save the remaining soldiers and horses, if Zhang Wenyuan reacts quickly, I am afraid that there will be a bloody battle by the Liyang River." ”

The surviving people looked at each other, and finally put their eyes on Sun Ce's body.

Sun Ce pursed his lips, his lips trembled slightly, leaning less, Sun Ce nodded.

"Do it like this, no matter what, we must do our best to let the living people return to Jiangdong, and if you can go back, one by one!"

Sun Ce said, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and the generals and officers around him were also red-eyed.

There are so many people who have died, they don't even have time to cry, they don't even have time to sigh.

Just running for your life requires all your might.

Those who did not escape to board the flotilla were either dead or captured, living a life worse than death.

And will they really be able to escape?

This is still an unknown.

Under the leadership of Zhou Yu, more than 10,000 people of Sun Wu's defeated army fled to Liyang, and contacted the sailors of Niuzhuji on the other side of the Liyang River, so that the navy immediately sent ships to pick up people.

When he arrived at the Liyang River, Lü Meng arranged to cross the river to pick up people, and at the same time went to meet Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

His brother-in-law Deng Dang followed Sun Ce to Jiangbei, and he didn't see Deng Dang by Sun Ce's side, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
