Chapter 370: The Battle for the Lujiang River (1)

"What?"

"What did you say?"

After hearing this news, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were all shocked and looked incredulous. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If Lujiang is captured, it means that many counties in Jiangdong are directly exposed to the attack of the other party, which is a nightmare for them, so it is a place that has to be saved.

"I really didn't expect this Liu He to be so cunning, as soon as he came up, he aimed at our Lujiang County, and launched a fierce offensive, if we don't care, even if we get Jiangxia, it will be worth the loss, not to mention Jingling, so the lord, although I know that this is very passive, but we also have to lead the army to help."

Although Zhou Yu was very angry after hearing the news, he still had to analyze the pros and cons, and then put forward a proposal to help Lujiang.

"But Gong Jin, didn't you just say that Liu He's main force is in Jiangxia? Why is it in Lujiang again? Do you think there is fraud in this? Sun Quan's blue eyes flickered, and his heart was full of doubts.

However, Zhou Yu sighed softly: "It's really hard to say about this matter, but the last general still thinks that this is Liu He's ultimate goal, in fact, the lord thinks about it, what is the use of Liu He to protect Jiangxia?" There is no benefit to him at all, try his best, and finally suffer in vain, and once he occupies Jiangxia, the benefits to him are too much, he has one more county out of thin air, although this county does not seem to border his territory, but once he captures Yuan Shu's Huainan, it will be connected with Nanyang, and at the same time it will also form a three-sided encirclement of Cao Cao's forces, in addition, getting Lujiang can also make him a threat to us at any time. With so many benefits, Liu He will definitely not let go. ”

Sun Quan thought silently for a moment, then nodded and said: "Gongjin said very reasonably, it seems that most of the things are like this, since this is the case, then we will withdraw our troops and gallop to help Lujiang, but when we retreat, Huang Zu is afraid that he will lead his troops to chase after him, which has to be guarded against." ”

Zhou Yu nodded when he heard the words and said: "The lord expected it very much, but we can't afford to guard against this matter, since this is the case, then the last general will lead the soldiers after the break to ambush, Huang Zu will not chase it, as long as he dares to chase, he will definitely suffer a big loss." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then everything will be entrusted to you." Sun Quan nodded, immediately ordered the troops to retreat, and then led the army to Lujiang.

Zhou Yu led the army to break off, and waited for it, laying a big pocket array, as long as Huang Zu dared to catch up, he would definitely let him walk around without eating.

However, to Zhou Yu's surprise, this time Huang Zu didn't catch up.

"It must be that Huang Zu's old thief listened to Liu He's persuasion, so he didn't catch up, hmph, count you as interesting, otherwise Shandong will definitely give you a big gift this time." Zhou Yu looked in the direction of Jiang Xia and said hatefully, only then did he lead the army to advance at full speed, wanting to catch up with Sun Quan.

However, unexpectedly, half a day later, I suddenly heard the sound of war drums behind me, followed by the sound of shouting and killing.

Zhou Yu's face changed, and when he turned around, he found that it was the fleet led by Huang Zu's son Huang Chuan who rushed to Zhou Yu and fired a round of crossbow arrows at Zhou Yu's fleet, causing more than 1,000 casualties to Zhou Yu and then not loving to fight, so he led the army back like this.

"This damn ......" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and scolded, but at this time, the overall situation was important, and there was no need to compete with Huang Jie, so Zhou Yu had no choice but to suffer this secret loss and lead the army to continue to advance.

However, he didn't expect that half a day later, Huang Jie actually led the army to catch up again, and also fired a round of crossbow arrows, causing hundreds of casualties to Zhou Yu and then calmly leaving.

Zhou Yu scolded angrily again, but he could only forcibly hold back, and at the same time personally cut off the rear and laid an ambush, as long as Huang Jie dared to catch up again, he would definitely get back all the humiliation he had received before.

However, along the way, Huang Jie didn't catch up again, which made Zhou Yu feel both relieved and aggrieved, relieved that he finally didn't suffer any more losses, and what was aggrieved was that he suffered losses twice before, but he didn't get it back.

And what happened next made Zhou Yu even more annoyed, because Sun Quan's army had just landed and was attacked by Liu He's ambush. After an ambush, Sun Quan lost nearly 3,000 people, and the helpless Sun Quan had to flee in embarrassment, and when he boarded the ship, the soldiers under Sun Quan killed each other in order to seize the opportunity to get on the ship, and this time nearly 5,000 people were lost, and the Jiangdong Sun clan has never had such a big defeat since its rise. This made Sun Quan's face full of shame, and all the soldiers were silent.

"I thought that I had a book of heaven in my hands, and the ability of the generals under my command has been greatly improved, and it should be invincible and invincible, but I didn't expect to fall into Liu Hexiao'er's plan as soon as I came up, alas, now our army not only failed to save Lujiang, but lost the generals, which is really ashamed."

After seeing Zhou Yu, Sun Quan looked ashamed and said softly to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu gently comforted: "The lord doesn't have to be like this, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Liu He has been honed for so many years, and the army under his command is strong, which is already a fact that does not tolerate justice, although our army's combat power is not weak, but the advantage is mainly in the navy, plus this Liu He has always been cunning, this is this defeat, but eat a trench and grow a wisdom, I believe that after this time, Liu He will play any conspiracy and tricks, it will be very difficult to succeed, now our army is newly defeated, and Liu He is besieging Lujiang with heavy troops, We must find a way to break the situation, otherwise I am afraid that Lujiang will fall into the hands of Liu He, and it will be difficult to do at that time. ”

"I don't know if Gong Jin has a clever plan?" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu and asked.

Zhou Yu frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "Liu He is cunning and cunning, and there are strong generals under his command, but the transportation of grain and grass is more difficult, and he is eager for a decisive battle, so we will have a dignified decisive battle with Liu He's army under the city of Shuxian, and then defeat by fraud, with pride, and then use ambushes, fire tactics, and other tactics to deal with Liu He, and then ask General Zhongyi to send troops from the city, and attack inside and outside, I believe that Liu He will be defeated this time." ”

"Oh? Haha, I almost forgot, Gongjin, you still have the skill of fire strategy, I believe that as long as Liu He's army is trapped in the valley, your fire plan will definitely be powerful, let them taste the taste, and avenge our soldiers who died in battle, I want to take a look, at that time, how rich is Liu He's expression on this little thief? Sun Quan's face was full of smiles, and he gently patted Zhou Yu's shoulder and said.
