Chapter 287 Zhou Yu arranges the formation
Liu Pan didn't expect that Sun Jian, who had always been straightforward, would play a hand for him at such a critical moment, which made him almost fall into the abyss of despair.
When Han Dang rushed directly past him with his men and horses, Liu Pan knew that the other party's purpose was Wuchang City behind him, and Liu Pan wanted to return to the army to support Wuchang immediately.
But his opponent Cheng Pu was desperately pestering him.
Although he is slightly stronger than Cheng Pu, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Cheng Pu in a short period of time!
So he could only watch Han Dang's men and horses break through his army formation and go straight to Wuchang City not far away, Liu Pan's heart was gloomy at this time!
Although he left 8,000 men and horses to guard Wuchang City, Wuchang at this time did not have the slightest preparation, and there was no trustworthy general in the city.
During this period of smooth sailing, not only did he get a little carried away, but even his subordinates became a little impetuous.
In order to facilitate their return to the city, the guards of Wuchang City have not closed the south gate of Wuchang.
Han Dang on the other side is a rare general, and no one under his command is his opponent except for Wei Yan and Wen Ping.
And Wuchang at this time is equivalent to the city gate wide open waiting for the other party to attack.
With his understanding of the Wuchang guards, that guy definitely didn't react so quickly, so Wuchang City was lost!
I actually lost it, and my uncle ordered Wuchang to be defended.
In case Sun Jian takes Wuchang and advances instead of retreating, and approaches Xiangyang directly, he will become a sinner in Jingzhou!
When the time comes, he will not need his uncle to punish him, he will end his life himself, but even so, he will not be able to wash away the shame on his body!
The more Liu Pan thought about it, the more he felt that he had nothing to love, and at this time, his opponent Cheng Pu discovered Liu Pan's abnormality.
At that time, Cheng Pu was overjoyed, and stabbed Liu Pan's heart directly with his iron spine snake spear.
Liu Pan was not focused on fighting, but when he found that Cheng Pu's Iron Spine Snake Spear was stabbing towards him, the tip of Cheng Pu's Snake Spear was about to touch his armor!
At that time, Liu Pan felt that he was certain to die, but he was unwilling to die in the hands of the other party, so he slashed towards Cheng Pu with the big knife in his hand.
Liu Pan wants to lose both ways with Cheng Pu, even if he dies in the hands of Cheng Pu, he will give Cheng Pu a hard time!
Cheng Pu didn't want to die with Liu Pan, seeing that the other party actually used such a fatal attack, Cheng Pu could only withdraw his snake spear to resist Liu Pan's attack.
In this way, Liu Pan barely escaped, but at this time he had lost all the initiative, and he was killed by Cheng Pu and retreated!
Liu Pan thought more than once that it was better to die in the hands of the other party like this, so that he could be regarded as dying on the battlefield, which was better than being embarrassed after going back.
But just as he was ready to put it into action. A general fought hard to kill him, and Liu Pan turned his head to see that this person was Wei Yan, the general under his command
When Wei Yan rushed to Liu Pan's side, he said loudly to him:
"Childe, now Wuchang can't be saved! Let's retreat quickly, and we must not let Sun Jian take Yicheng again. Then Xiangyang will be really dangerous! ”
When he heard Wei Yan's words, Liu Pan's heart immediately came alive again, he knew that what Wei Yan said was not wrong at all, Yicheng must not fall into Sun Jian's hands.
This time, in order to kill Sun Jian, his uncle sent all the heavy troops to the south of Jingzhou, and Xiangyang was extremely empty at this time.
Once Yicheng fell into Sun Jian's hands, it would not be them who would destroy Sun Jian.
It's that Sun Jian is very likely to capture Xiangyang City, in case he gets to that point, he will really die a hundred deaths!
Thinking of this, Liu Pan fought back Cheng Pu and greeted Wen Ping, who was fighting with Zu Mao, and then Liu Pan and the three of them took the remaining remnants of their command to defeat in the direction of Yicheng.
Originally, Cheng Pu and Zu Mao wanted to continue the pursuit, but they were called back by Sun Jian.
At this time, Sun Jian was extremely sober, and he knew that his current goal was not to kill Liu Pan or anyone else.
Instead, it is necessary to recapture Jiangxia again in the shortest possible time, only in this way can they have a way to live, otherwise none of them will be able to return home alive.
This opportunistically took Wuchang City, there will never be such a good thing in the future, and if they can't take the city, they will have no necessary grain and grass.
At that time, even if they were not defeated by Liu Biao's men, they would be defeated by hunger.
So he must take Jiangxia and open up a retreat before most of Liu Biao's men and horses come up!
After Sun Jian and his people quickly emptied the grain and grass in Wuchang, they hurried in the direction of Jiangxia.
At the same time, the Sun family's army, which set out from Changsha and went straight to Xiakou, was blocked from advancing.
The coach of this team is not Sun Ce as the world thinks, but Zhou Yu, who replaces Sun Ce to attract attention.
And this team is not the elite of the Sun family's army, but Zhou Yu was drawn from the city defense force in Changsha.
Although he had tried his best to draw some young people, the combat effectiveness of this team was still miserable.
However, what Zhou Yu wanted was not an invincible army, but a man who was large enough to attract the enemy's attention.
Now when he saw the person blocking his way, Zhou Yu's face showed a smile of relief.
In the end, his efforts this time were not in vain, and the enemy still fell for his plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
Now there should be no enemy troops on Bo Fu's side, and I hope he can take Jiangxia City as soon as possible to rescue the old lord.
And not only that, Sun Ce must also return to Changsha immediately after rescuing Sun Jian.
After all, the defenders of Changsha at this time were only the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the whole Changsha could be said to be an undefended empty city
Once there is a group of bold thieves, it is possible to take Changsha City!
As for himself, his task was not yet complete at this time, and he had to hold back the enemy forces in front of him, at least for more than three days.
Only in this way can Sun Ce be given enough time, but how to do this Zhou Yu has always been hesitant in his heart, after all, there are too few available people under him!
But even if he fights to the point of a soldier, he will not retreat a step within three days, all for the sake of Sun Ce, the master in his mind!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu immediately ordered someone to shake the array flag prepared in advance, and when there was no one under his command to use, the only way Zhou Yu could think of to hold back the enemy army was to lay down a large array!
Only in this way can he be somewhat sure, but how long it can drag on depends on the performance of the other party.
If the opponent understands the formation, everything he has planned will most likely come to naught!
If the other party doesn't understand the formation, then he can not only successfully complete his task, but also achieve the purpose of delaying time for Sun Ce!
