Chapter 374: The Defeat of Lujiang
After listening to Sun Quan's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but be silent, of course he understood that Sun Quan was right, in order to let the thousand elites under Liu He's command die, for the sake of the treasure knife in their hands, it is indeed worth it no matter what the price is, but this is not to say that it is really worth "any" price, if this price includes the safety of the whole army? Even if you risk the safety of the whole army, you can't get it?
However, Zhou Yu also knew that the opportunity could not be lost and would not come again, so he did not hesitate more, and immediately used his skill "Fire Strategy". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although there was nothing on the battlefield, but for some reason it suddenly lit a fire, which shocked Liu He's Bai Yu army soldiers realm, but fortunately, at this time, most of the soldiers had quickly come to the slope outside the valley and began to catch up with Zhou Yu and Sun Quan's ambush, plus the soldiers also mastered a lot of fire prevention knowledge, so except for more than 30 people who were slightly injured, and 10 people were unfortunately killed because they were in the center of the food, there was no loss.
However, this is already the biggest loss that this elite team of 1,000 soldiers has suffered since its establishment.
Such a heavy loss made the remaining soldiers of the Bai Yu Army grief and indignant, and they silently picked up the treasure knives thrown by their comrades who were killed when they were dying, and then quickly rushed towards the top of the valley.
Long before the operation, they had already learned from Xun You that there were a large number of enemy troops ambushed here, and their task was to contain these people and then wait for reinforcements to arrive.
These generals have been trained countless times in the mountainous terrain, and they have long been trained to walk on this kind of mountainous terrain as if they were walking on the ground and walking like flying, so in just a short time, these soldiers climbed up, and some of the soldiers who arrived first had already started a fierce battle with the ambush soldiers above.
"What?"
"This, how is this possible?"
Seeing those white soldiers climb up so quickly, both Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's faces changed drastically, but they didn't expect them to underestimate these opponents again, the terrifying speed and quick adaptability of the other party really made them unbelievable.
However, the facts are in front of you, if you don't believe it, you have to believe it, although Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are helpless, they can only accept the reality.
Next, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle.
Either way, they now have a superior position, and they can deal effective damage to the enemy, whether they are firing bows and arrows or throwing rolling boulders.
However, Bai Yujun had prepared in advance, and he had experience in attacking fortifications many times, so he didn't care much, holding his shield and rushing forward.
The armor worn by this team is Mingguang armor, which was exchanged by Liu He from the system, and after repeated experiments by craftsmen, its defense is no worse than the Mingguang armor in history, so as long as the general crossbow arrows are not shot in the throat and eyes, they cannot cause any damage to them, and in the throat area, Liu He also set up a special soft armor for protection, only the eye part is now not in a condition to protect, otherwise it can definitely form a defense system without dead ends.
Even so, the casualties of the soldiers were very weak, except for a few unlucky ghosts who were crushed to death by the big stones rolling down the mountain, the rest all broke in unharmed and fought with the Jiangdong army.
When this team was fighting with the Jiangdong Army in the open field outside the valley before, most of the Jiangdong Army in the valley saw it, and they were all shocked by the strong combat effectiveness of the Bai Yu Army, and now they saw that they were directly fighting with such a powerful enemy, and they couldn't help but feel timid in their hearts, and their morale dropped.
Fortunately, there are people in Sun Quan's army who have mastered the skill of "inspiring", which allows the soldiers to inspire courage and fight with the Bai Yu army, but after all, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's army is ambushed in the narrow valley on both sides, and the soldiers cannot be concentrated in a short time, and the combat power is quite different, so it has become fish on the chopping board, and it is at the point of being slaughtered.
When they finally gathered the soldiers, they found that Liu He had already led the main army to rush over from the valley.
"Hmph, do you think that in this way, we can't do anything about you? Gong Jin, first use fire tricks on Liu and Xiao'er's main army, let them taste the taste of being burned by the flames, it is best to burn Liu He Xiao'er directly, in this case, although we are defeated today, it is worth it. ”
"No." This was originally what Zhou Yu meant, but now seeing that Sun Quan's opinion was the same as his, Zhou Yu was not surprised, nodded slightly, and then immediately launched the fire plan.
The valley was full of firewood and grass, Zhou Yu believed that as long as his fire trick was cast, the valley would immediately turn into a sea of fire, and a cruel smile had now appeared on his face, feeling that this time he would definitely be able to hit Liu He hard.
However, what he didn't expect was that his fire plan, which had always been tried and tested repeatedly, did not succeed, and no matter how he launched it, there was no trace of fire in the valley.
"W, what's going on?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but be shocked and asked with a look of disbelief.
saw Sun Quan with a gloomy face and said, "Do you still need to ask?" It must be that there are masters in Liu He's army who can crack your fire trick skills, do you remember that when you fought on the water that day, Taishi Ziyi's skills didn't work? If I'm not mistaken, I think it must have been the same person. ”
This time Sun Quan guessed correctly, the reason why Zhou Yu's "fire plan" did not work was naturally that this skill was abolished by Xu Shu's "silent words", and it could not be used again in a day. It is precisely because of this that Liu He's main army dared to pass through the valley with confidence and boldness.
Of course, this is also because of the fact that his 1,000 Bai Yu army was contained, plus Zhou Yu's skills were abolished, and he didn't think about it for a while, otherwise, even if he couldn't fight his skills, because there was a lot of firewood and grass in the valley, as long as he found a way to throw torches into the valley and set fire to it according to the traditional model, Liu He's army would also suffer heavy losses.
However, by the time Zhou Yu remembered it, he had already missed the opportunity, because the Bai Yu army on the valley was launching a fierce attack on them, and the main force of the Liuhe army under the valley gradually formed a trend of encirclement, in this case, if they did not escape, they would be surrounded by the enemy on all sides, and the final result was likely to be the annihilation of the entire army.
So at this time, Zhou Yu didn't care about asking Sun Quan, and immediately ordered the army to retreat on all fronts.
"Alas, we are completely defeated in this battle, this defeat, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to return to Jiangbei in the future, and then we should consider taking the four counties of Jingnan from Liu Bei, as long as we capture these four counties, our strength should be able to go to the next level." Looking at the defeated army like a tide, Zhou Yu's mind turned, planning his next move.
