Chapter 172: Zhou Yu counterattacked, and the battle situation changed abruptly

Under the command of Liu Xuewu, the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry first stabilized its position at the wharf along the Jiangdong coast, and then the drum army slowly followed up to cross the river. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And Zhou Yu, who originally wanted to retreat to the city and hold on, saw that Liu Xuewu's army was crossing the river one after another, and a sense of powerlessness arose from his heart. At this time, Zhou Yu had to doubt whether he could defeat it, and even how to survive such an offensive.

Once this person falls into the magic barrier he has built, he may fall into extreme madness. Just like Zhou Yu now, he has gathered all the men and horses at hand, plus the reserves prepared in front of him, there are more than 60,000 people in total. He made a very astonishing move and ordered the whole army to counterattack. This is the craziest thing Zhou Yu has done at this moment, there is no one. You must know that these 60,000 horses are now close to half of Jiangdong's troops, and he knows deep down that if he loses the defense of the Yangtze River, then once Liu Xuewu's cavalry breaks into Jiangdong. Then the fall of Jiangdong is a matter of time, and now there are two ways in front of him, one is to retreat to the city, but this is at most only delaying time, and it cannot save Jiangdong. The second is to take advantage of the fact that Liu Xuewu's army is not stable and the army has not yet crossed the river, counterattack back, and take it by surprise.

In other words, Zhou Yu is not only crazy, but also has his own considerations. In the face of the Jiangdong soldiers who went and returned, the cavalry on Liu Xuewu's side was also a little careless and suffered a little loss. But now that Liu Xuewu's soldiers have crossed the river, there is no choice but to have the Yangtze River behind them, and there is a steady stream of reinforcements on the bridge, so there is no need to be afraid at all. had to sacrifice his life to fight, this is a kind of courage to break the cauldron and turn it into immortal combat power.

The two sides launched a desperate decisive battle along the coast of Jiangdong, and the children of Jiangdong deserve to be heroes, one foot soldier may not be able to beat a cavalry, but what about two foot soldiers? What about the three foot soldiers? On this narrow wharf, the nimble Jiangdong infantry exerted 200 percent of their combat effectiveness one by one, exchanging a fearless spirit of sacrifice for the death of the enemy cavalry. And because of the battle of 60,000 soldiers in Jiangdong who were not afraid of sacrifice, the cavalry on Liu Xuewu's side did not pass through the Yangtze River as smoothly as imagined. On this Jiangdong wharf, there is an intensive battle in the open space of hundreds of meters. As the battle between the two sides became more intense, the time went from afternoon to night. But there were still groups of cavalry on the bridge that could not pass through the blockage, and on this cold winter night, the temperature on the riverside was close to minus six or seven degrees. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who could not cross the bridge shivered in the cold wind, and even the existing cavalry soldiers were frozen and fell off their horses. Seeing this, Liu Xuewu decided to tear off the cavalry on the pontoon bridge first. Wait until the battle on the other side of the strait is divided before making plans, and Liu Xuewu originally did not expect that this Zhou Yu would go and return, which made the original plan unable to go smoothly. Fortunately, now that the pontoon bridge has been completed, as long as the cavalry officers who have landed on the other side can hold the other end of the pontoon bridge, Liu Xuewu can arrange for the soldiers to continue to land. The only fly in the ointment is that the temperature on the Yangtze River is too low at night, and the wind and waves are too strong, so Liu Xuewu has to give up his plan to cross the river overnight.

At this time, the suspension of crossing the river unexpectedly frightened another group of people, that is, Lu Xun, an important general in Jiangdong and also in control of part of the army in Jiangdong.

This is the commander of Sun Quan, one of the four pillars of Jiangdong, who is responsible for the deployment of Changsha direction. The battle on the river and along the coastline is very lively, but the Changsha area is very calm. And Lu Xun, who has 30,000 Jiangdong elites in his hands, has been lurking here and standing still, originally seeing Liu Xuewu showing his might on the Yangtze River. was trying to let Liu Xuewu and Zhou Yu have a good fight, and when Liu Xuewu's cavalry crossed the river, he would raid Jingzhou with his army. Cut off Liu Xuewu's back road in one fell swoop, and when the cavalry does not have the support of a large number of materials behind, in a strange place in Jiangdong, even if the combat effectiveness is strong, it will be consumed alive. This is his Lu Xun's ultimate plan, and there is no shortage of intrigue among the forces of all parties in Jiangdong. But it was a clever plan, but it was a pity that Zhou Yu's desperate counterattack, although it stabilized the form of Jiangdong, disrupted Lu Xun's layout. This also shows that the news between the two sides is not exchanged, and there is still an element of mutual vigilance between each other, which is in response to that sentence, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. At this time, Jiangdong and the two heroes stood side by side, as the so-called mountain could not accommodate two tigers, although the two brothers Sun Quan and Sun Ce usually seemed to live in peace, but the friction between their respective subordinates was continuous.

Liu Xuewu's temporary withdrawal made Lu Xun in Changsha dare not act rashly, after all, the power of the cavalry on the plain is extremely terrifying, and he is implorably called the nemesis of the foot soldiers.

At this time, Liu Xuewu didn't know that because of his unintentional actions, he had escaped a catastrophe, and the most troublesome problem now was to give supplies to White Tiger City and the cavalry who landed on the other side. As early as in the war with foreign tribes in the north, Liu Xuewu borrowed the method of fast food in his previous life, replacing lunch boxes with bamboo tubes and sending them to the battlefield. Most of the bamboos in Jingzhou are bamboos, which are relatively small, and are not suitable for bamboo lunch boxes at all. Fortunately, there is a lot of wood in the south, so Liu Xuewu made the wood cut down and made rough wooden boxes, and sent them to the battlefield.

At this time, the White Tiger City was not optimistic, and the second batch of death squads, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, recaptured the White Tiger City again. However, it will take time to overcome this difficulty, and the first few days were fine, with food and fresh water brought from the ship. However, with the passage of time, a lot of materials have been consumed, especially fresh water, which has almost been used up. After eating the local fresh water, most of the soldiers began to have the status quo of adapting to the soil and water. Although there are herbs and doctors prepared in advance, there is still a period of weakness during the period of overcoming. And Sun Quan outside the city didn't care about this, he attacked the city again and again, and the walls of White Tiger City also partially cracked and collapsed under this fierce attack.

Moreover, the current White Tiger City no longer has the help of the Yan clan, and if it is simply guarded and defended, it is estimated that it will be difficult to last. Therefore, Zhao Yun immediately chose to take the initiative, and after the situation gradually stabilized, Zhao Yun convened the generals under his command to discuss the next move. And continue to send people to secretly contact with the major families in Jiangdong, because now the news of Liu Xuewu's cavalry crossing the river has spread, and the forces of all parties in Eastern Wu can be said to be all soldiers. For Zhao Yun's move, some began to quietly show goodwill. The current Jiangdong is like a mountain rain about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, will the days of unifying Jiangdong be far away in the future? (To be continued.) )
