Ling Tong's troops, who opened the way, had already fought with the South Vietnamese several times, but with the spread of firearms, the primitive South Vietnamese could no longer pose much of a threat to the Wu army, and they took the initiative to hide deeper in the mountains.

Just when Sun Quan was thinking wildly, suddenly there was a fierce gunfire in the distance from the direction behind him, which made the marching team riot.

Sun Quan didn't know what was going on, even if there was gunfire before, it was from the front of the line, it must have been the fight between the Wu army that opened the way and the South Vietnamese, but what was the gunfire behind this?

Could it be that the South Vietnamese still ran to the back to attack the team behind the palace?

He sent the guards around him to the back of the team to investigate, and soon, the guards returned, and with him, there was also Chen Wu, the general of the Wu army who was in charge of the palace.

Chen Wu's expression was very nervous, "Lord," Chen Wu approached Sun Quan's car and lowered his voice, "It is the Han army that catches up behind, and it looks like Lu Bu's Imperial Forest Army with the number and military uniform." ”

Sun Quan was also taken aback, the route of retreat was highly secret, and there was a stand-in of Sun Quan in Jianye City pretending to be himself, presiding over the defense of Jianye City as usual!

How did the Han army find their team? Lu Bu also sent his most elite Imperial Forest Army, if the three divisions of the Imperial Forest Army came, this little army around him would not be enough.

He immediately sent someone to find Ling Tong, and Ling Tong was more expert in the war, and Sun Quan was better at this, he definitely didn't pretend to understand if he didn't understand, and he definitely didn't command randomly.

Without Sun Quan looking for it, Ling Tong heard the sound of gunshots and explosions, and had already returned to the Chinese army from the front, and after listening to Chen Wu's description, he also frowned.

As a high-level general of the Wu army, Ling Tong still has a good understanding of the strength of the Han army, and it is also a headache to hear that it is Lu Bu's Imperial Forest Army.

There were only his left battalion and Sun Quan's Praetorian Guard, and neither of these two troops was full, only half of them were each.

He thought for a while, and said to Sun Quan seriously, "My lord, the fact that the Han army can accurately find us shows that we are afraid that there are undercover agents of the Han army inside, and their intelligence department is very powerful." ”

"The situation is critical, and these civil and military officials and ordinary people are afraid that they can't take care of it, but I heard that Lu Bu's reputation is not bad, and I haven't heard that he has slaughtered civilians."

"Lord, you are our backbone, a golden body, you can't afford to miss it, wait a while, I'll go to the back to block the Han army, let Chen Wu protect you and retreat first, you'd better change into the clothes of the Praetorian Guards and set off quietly."

When Sun Quan heard Ling Tong's idea, his brows furrowed, "You asked me to abandon everyone and run away alone?" No, why don't you go and block it and let the team speed up? ”

Ling Tong was also anxious, "Lord, at this time, no one is as important as you, to put it mildly, the most important civil and military ministers of Eastern Wu have already retreated in advance, and these officials and people stay here, which can cover you well." ”

"I believe that Chen Wu and your Praetorian Guards will not have undercover agents of the Han army, and even if they do, if a small army breaks through, there will be no chance to report the news!"

"There are fewer people, the target is relatively small, you go to Jiaozhou first, I think the reinforcements sent by Lu Xun should be on the way, maybe you don't have to run far to meet them, and then let the reinforcements come to save us."

Before Sun Quan could tell the difference, Ling Tong had already slapped the back of his neck with a palm, knocking him unconscious, and then took off Sun Quan's royal robe, changed into the clothes of the Praetorian Guard, and handed Sun Quan over to Chen Wu.

There is no need for Ling Tong to advise, Chen Wu said that as long as he still has a breath, he will protect the lord to break through.

Ling Tong waved his hand, drove Chen Wu away, turned around and rushed to the place where the gunfire was most intense in the rear, and at the same time sent people to draw reinforcements from the troops that opened the way in front to help him.

Chen Wu rushed forward with Sun Quan's Praetorian Guard, just in time to exchange positions with Ling Tong's left battalion, and now the team opened the way into the Praetorian Guard.

Moreover, Chen Wu rushed to the front of the southward moving team with a thousand Praetorian Guards, and continued to accelerate, with a tendency to break away from the entire team.

The Han army chasing behind was indeed Lu Bu's Imperial Forest Army, and Lu Bu himself was in the army, and he acted with the 1st Garrison Division.

The three divisions of the Imperial Forest Army marched in unison, while pursuing the Wu army, with the 1st Garrison Division in the middle, the 2nd Garrison Division to the west, and the Special Operations Division to the east.

The intelligence of the Ministry of Intelligence was very accurate, and the undercover agents in the Wu army also left markers indicating the direction along the way, and the Han army was not worried about chasing them down.

Moreover, the Wu army had already opened the mountains and forests, and the Han army chased very comfortably.

When the Han army caught up with the rear guard of the Wu army and exchanged fierce fire, Lü Bu simply ordered the two divisions on the left and right flanks to cross over and outflank the Wu army from both sides.

Therefore, Ling Tong led his subordinates to desperately block only one division of the Han army, and in the woods of five miles to the left and right, there were still two Han army divisions outflanking forward.

It's just that the equipment of the Han army is good, and the equipment of the Imperial Forest Army is the best and latest in the whole army, so the firepower density is very large, so that Ling Tong still thinks that what he is blocking is all of the Han Army's Royal Forest Army!

In order to maneuver quickly, the three divisions of the Han army did not bring field artillery battalions, but mortar battalions were still indispensable, and thirty newly improved mortars were enough to put great pressure on Ling Tong.

Fortunately, Ling Tong's subordinates were also equipped with the best equipment of the Wu army, basically front-loading rifled guns, with a range of 400 zhang, which was enough to use in this kind of jungle warfare.

Moreover, the Wu army fought against the South Vietnamese barbarians all year round, and was more familiar with the terrain and combat methods of jungle warfare, including the use of tactics.

They used grenades to set a lot of strange traps, which caused the Han army to suffer a lot of losses when they came into contact with jungle warfare for the first time.

The mortar is also very restricted in this kind of dense forest, there is no vision, and there are too many obstacles, so it is easy to accidentally injure teammates, so after fighting for a while, Lu Bu asked the mortar to stop shelling.

He ordered the Han army to take squads as units, break them into pieces, alternate cover in the form of squads, and gradually infiltrate.

Deal with jungle warfare with the tactics of street fighting, after all, the commanders of the Han army are all graduates of the Central Military Academy, and they are all trained in street fighting.

Lu Bu's change of formation was still very effective, and the street battle was still very similar to the jungle battle from the perspective of melee and melee combat, and the Han army quickly opened up the situation.

The looseness of the rear-loading rifle for the way of shooting, as well as the higher accuracy, as well as the well-protected helmet of the Han army, all brought great help.

The Han army could often lie on the ground and shoot calmly, while the Wu army's flintlock pistol had to be reloaded with ammunition from the front, and at most it could only be in a kneeling position, and the exposed area of the body was significantly larger.

Even if the two sides suddenly encountered and engaged in white-knuckle combat, the professionally trained Han army had an advantage over the Wu army.

Soon, the Han army, which was inserted from both flanks, overtook the entire southward migration of Eastern Wu and implemented a loose encirclement.

Although the ranks were large and numerous, most of them were unarmed officials and civilians, and in the face of the attack of the Han army, they had no choice but to lie on the ground and beg for a way out of surrender.
