715, Qi Jiguang defeated Shi Lang and Cao Zhengnan retreated to Fancheng
Shi Lang had already expected this result, so the purpose of his shouting was only to boost the morale of his own soldiers, and he decided that Qin Zhao's shouting was only to boost morale, so he didn't say a word and directly ordered an attack.
Shi Lang's sailors began to line up in an inverted V formation, his main ship was in the center, and Shi Lang had a big knife in his hand, looking at Qin Zhao's army with fierce eyes. At this time, seeing the violentness of Shi Lang's army, Qin Zhao naturally continued to maintain the momentum of showing weakness, the army was still retreating with all its might, and Shi Lang's army continued to maintain absolute suppression.
Not long after, Qi Jiguang's sailor finally appeared behind Shi Lang,
"Drop! Qi Jiguang's skill Wu Yi is detected, the command is +3, and the force of all soldiers under his command is +1, affected by Wu Yi's skill, Qi Jiguang's force is increased to 81, the command rate is increased to 99, Zhou Tai's force is increased to 98, and Jiang Qin's force is increased to 91."
Qi Jiguang's sailor finally opened his claws at this time, and suddenly struck out from the two feet and the central part of Shi Lang's inverted V formation, directly disrupting the V-shaped formation, and the light boat in the rear was instantly divided and surrounded. Without Shi Lang's command, they instantly didn't know how to face the elite sailors under Qi Jiguang's command. Under the lead of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, Shi Lang's rear team was killed and scattered not long after, and countless people fell into the water and were killed.
Shi Lang finally understood his situation at this time: according to Cao Ren's plan, he thought that as long as he caught up with Qin Zhao's army, he would be able to eat them with an absolute advantage, but who would have thought that Qi Jiguang's army would suddenly be killed halfway through.
He has fought with Qi Jiguang's soldiers and horses many times, and he has never had the strength to defend, but this time he met here in a narrow way, and Shi Lang's heart suddenly dropped to the freezing point. But even so, he knew that he couldn't give up, once his sailor was lost, then Xiangyang would really no longer be able to defend.
Shi Lang no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, and the formation of the army was in a Sichuan shape, and they broke through together.
After Qi Jiguang ate the tail team, he immediately let the army change its formation into a hollow shape, and after Shi Lang's army rushed in, it fell into a heavy encirclement again. In an instant, the armies of the two sides started hand-to-hand combat, and it was still Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who took their soldiers to board the enemy ship everywhere and killed the soldiers of the Cao army.
At this time, Jiang Qin took the lead in climbing on Shi Lang's boat, and he rushed to Shi Lang who was commanding as soon as possible. Shi Lang's henchmen immediately rushed over to block Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin's big knife in his hand swung left and right, and in less than a few rounds, he slashed those Cao soldiers over. Seeing this, Shi Lang clenched the big knife in his hand, shouted loudly, and rushed over.
Even though Shi Lang's martial arts are already good and his water kung fu is also very good, he still can't take any advantage in front of Jiang Qin. After only a few rounds, he was forced by Jiang Qin to retreat, if it weren't for Jiang Qin's bent desire to capture Shi Lang alive, and he didn't dare to be too heavy, I am afraid that he would have cut Shi Lang down with one sword.
At this moment, several more Cao Jun saw Shi Lang's danger and hurriedly rushed over, shouting in unison: "General Shi, you go first!" ”
Several people took over Jiang Qin together, Shi Lang was very helpless, but he was helpless, turned around and left, found another small boat, and jumped over. Although Jiang Qin was very unwilling, he couldn't quickly break through Cao Jun's entanglement, and it didn't take long for Shi Lang to leave his sight.
At this time, the Cao army, with Shi Lang's embarrassed escape, even more without the backbone, with the absolute strength of the Qi family army and the cooperation of the unequaled army that rushed back, the Cao army sailors in addition to the embarrassment of the dozen small boats that escaped about a thousand people, captured about 4,000 people.
After Shi Lang fled back in embarrassment, he met Cao Ren with thousands of people under his command, Shi Lang jumped onto Cao Ren's boat and immediately knelt down to plead guilty.
Cao Ren saw that Shi Lang was left with these horses, his face was already pale, he pulled out his sword and was about to kill Shi Lang, but fortunately, he was stopped by the civil and military forces around him, and under hard persuasion, he was spared.
"Shi Lang, I handed over all 10,000 sailors in Xiangyang to you, and Qin Zhao's Peerless Army is not good at water warfare at all, what the hell is going on with you? Why did it fail miserably? Why!! ”
Cao Ren roared hysterically, Shi Lang sighed, and slowly said how the wind direction changed abruptly, and then Qi Jiguang's army ambushed, and finally sighed again, "General, we have fallen for the enemy's plan!" ”
After hearing this, Cao Ren could barely stand firmly, and almost fell to the ground, he muttered to himself in disbelief: "Impossible! No way! It is impossible for the enemy to see through this plan, what the hell is going on with us acting so secretively! ”
At this time, Liang Xi, who was behind Cao Ren, walked out, looked at everyone present, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that someone is collaborating with the enemy?" Leaked secrets? ”
When Cao Ren heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, as if he suddenly thought of something, and he shouted: "It's not good! Could it be Er Zhurong's rat generation? had been captured by Chen Xu before, and then he was released back for some reason. This time, Mr. Feng Yan's strategy, as far as a few of us know, was that he refused to accompany him, and took the initiative to ask for his life to stay in Xiangyang. If he really collaborates with the enemy, then Xiangyang City will inevitably fall into the hands of the enemy, and my life will be suspended! ”
When everyone heard Cao Ren's words, they couldn't help but gasp, they were really scary to think about it! But the current situation is too late to think about it so much, after all, Qi Jiguang's army and Qin Zhao's unequaled army have not stopped, and it won't be long before they come to Fancheng again.
At this time, Jia Kui hurriedly suggested: "General, now that Mr. Feng Yan's plan is not successful, Xiangyang will definitely not be able to defend it anymore, it is better to quickly respond to General Yu Ban, withdraw to Fancheng together to defend it, and at the same time send a message to Xu Du, wait for the lord's order!" ”
Cao Ren shook his head and said, "Now that Fancheng has also been flooded, how can you defend it?" ”
"General, the flood comes and goes quickly, and Qin Zhao has not used all his forces to attack Fancheng because he is worried that after fighting to the death with our army, he will be reaped by Xiliang Ma Teng. Now if Xiangyang falls, Ma Teng will definitely not sit idly by, so his subordinates think that Qin Zhao will inevitably leave troops to guard against Ma Teng. Fancheng may not be broken by people under the insistence. Our army still has at least more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and if Qin Zhao, Qi Jiguang and others are unwilling to be taken advantage of by Ma Teng, they will definitely not attack with all their might. Otherwise, if Fancheng is abandoned, Zhang Liao will not be able to defend it. In this way, the country will no longer be in danger. ”
Jia Kui's words finally made Cao Ren make up his mind, so he immediately took Shi Lang and his army of about 5,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed to Yuyankou River in a small boat. At this time, Yu Ban was anxious in his heart, although he knew that Cao Ren's army had arrived, but after waiting for a long time, there was not much news, and he was always uneasy in his heart.
Just as he was about to send someone to inquire about the news, he saw Cao Ren's fleet approaching the Gunkou River, he was overjoyed, and said to the soldiers: "Soldiers, General Zhengnan's reinforcements have arrived!" It must be a big victory to take us back to the city! ”
