Chapter 243 Return to Jiangxia
Since the enemy was ready to abandon the ship and land and escape, Ge Liang hurriedly asked the army to speed up and pursue him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Meng Da and Liu Pan, who were upstream, also saw the flames in the distance, and they all led the army to chase forward.
Since Lu Xun was about to abandon all the ships, he also directly set fire to both ends, blocking the water surface at both ends with large and small boats to stop the pursuing enemy, and then asked the sergeant to abandon the ship and go ashore, burning all the remaining ships.
For a while, the river was also in flames, stretching for several miles, where could the Jingzhou soldiers rush in, they could only stare dryly.
Lu Xun seized the opportunity and ordered the troops to evacuate to Yuzhang County in the southeast direction along the passage burned by the fire.
The sergeants rushed forward and fled urgently, and Lu Xun and the others hurriedly shouted there: "Don't panic! Don't panic! Bring your clothes, rations, and weapons! ”
Yu Pan stood there, looking at the raging fire of the boats on the river, and watching the fire of the trees on the shore behind him, which reflected each other and lit up the entire sky.
Lu Xun was also looking at the sky, and the sky was really bright.
This was just right, he knew that there was still a large swampy area ahead, and if the sergeants were allowed to flee in a panic in the dark night, he didn't know how many people would fall into it.
"Let's go." He whispered to Yu Xuan.
Yu was crying: "This fire has burned so many ships, how many years will it take to rebuild it!" ”
I can't help but escape from the boat! With so many ships that came out at the beginning, more than half of them have already been lost in Gangneung and Baqiu, do you still have to count all the ships on my head?
However, Lu Xun didn't have the heart to care about Yu's nonsense, so he still urged softly: "Let's go, human life matters." ”
Yu Pan was still unwilling: "You go first, let me see them again." ”
"Let's go. The sergeants had almost withdrawn, and the enemy was about to catch up. Lu Xun wanted to reach out and pull him.
Yu flipped his hand: "If you want to go, you go first!" I can catch up! ”
Gotta get it, know you're running fast! Lu Xun turned his head and left first, he still had to command the sergeants to evacuate in an orderly manner, and he didn't have time to be sentimental here.
Ge Liang and Meng Da led their armies and had already rushed over from both ends.
The soldiers also abandoned their ships and went ashore, scrambling to chase down the fleeing enemy.
Meng Da felt that it was a pity: "Strategist, the enemy just ran away like this?" ”
Ge Liang could only shake his head and said: "These guys, reluctant to Baqiu, came here, but suddenly became decisive." ”
"What about General Liu Pan?" Now that the enemy here has fled, Ge Liang hurried to plan his next move.
Meng Da shook his head with a smile and said, "He, he has already personally disembarked and led his men to chase and kill the enemy." ”
That's fine, Ge Liang originally wanted to arrange for Liu Pan to pursue, and immediately said to Meng Da: "Brother Zidu, don't chase it, hurry up and lead the army back to Yidu." ”
Meng Dazhi shook his head: "I'm also going to get off the boat to pursue the enemy." By the way, military advisor, you have all come from Xiakou, so have you taken Xiakou City? ”
Ge Liang smiled: "I didn't stop all the way, so I finally rushed here to besiege them with you, where is the time to attack Xiakou City." ”
Meng Da immediately suggested: "Military advisor, why don't we take the opportunity to march and besiege Xiakou?" ”
I know you're addicted to killing this time! Ge Liang said to Meng Da: "You are right, but everyone else can go, but you can't go." ”
"Why?" Meng Da was not convinced, he was happy to kill all the way.
Ge Liang whispered to Meng Da: "You are behind, and you haven't gotten the news yet." Did you see that? Even Guan Ping rushed here. ”
Only then did Meng Da see that on another big ship, Guan Ping was also busy directing the sergeants to pursue the enemy.
Ge Liang reminded: "Most of General Guan's soldiers have been urgently withdrawn from Fancheng and rushed to Jiangxia's side. Then think about it, if Cao's army pursues from the land and goes straight to Jiangling or Yidu, won't you even have to throw your own family to Cao Cao? ”
Meng Da remembered that in order to fight the Wu army, he almost emptied all the county soldiers in Yidu, and now Yidu, including several county towns under its jurisdiction, have all become empty cities.
"What the military advisor said is that I am only concerned about chasing and killing Jiangdong thieves here, and I have forgotten about it." Meng Da came back to his senses, and then pointed to the south bank and sighed, "It's really unwilling to chase this way and let the enemy flee like this." ”
Ge Liang said with a smile: "Zidu, that side is also a swampy land, although it is better than the north bank where Cao Cao evacuated, but this time the Wu army evacuated more panicked and embarrassed, I am afraid that even the camp tent rations and the like were not brought neatly, and Liu Pan, Mi Fang, and Shiren led the army to chase after them, it must be no better than Cao Cao back then, and there will be people along the way who will continue to fall behind, fall ill, and even starve to death and freeze to death." According to my estimate, when they escape, there won't be much left. ”
Meng Da nodded yes again and again, and then looked up at the sky: "It's best to give them a few more days of heavy rain!" ”
Ge Liang also looked up at the sky: "Yes, look at this weather, there should be rain." ”
After arranging Meng Da, Ge Liang asked Mi Fang and Shiren to lead the army to follow Liu Pan and continue to pursue the enemy, but they could only pursue it for one day, and then retreat to the river and garrison it for two days, waiting for follow-up instructions.
found Guan Ping again: "Major General, this matter of pursuing the enemy army will not trouble you." Let's quickly turn around and go back to Xiakou. ”
Guan Pingdu was already preparing to get off the ship in person to chase and kill the enemy army, and he was very puzzled when he heard this: "Military Division, you gave up Xiakou yesterday morning, let us rush here to block and kill these enemy troops, and what did you say that it would be difficult to attack the city for a while." Now, these enemies are fleeing in a hurry, and it is a good time to hunt them down, why did they change so quickly and let us go back to Xiakou immediately? ”
"Ah, this." Ge Liang scratched his head, "What about this, I also know that the fire attack on the Jiangdong fleet can only cause the enemy to panic, and to really fight them, you have to rely on you professional sailors in Jingzhou, right?" Unexpectedly, they took the initiative to abandon ship and escape. Fleeing enemies, then there is no need to trouble you elite sailors, with Mi Fang and Liu Pan, they are enough. ”
"Then we'll just go after it." Guan Ping insisted.
Ge Liang hurriedly said: "No, no, no, young general, the enemy has fled in the wilderness and gone deep into the land of the swamp, and God will help us eliminate many of them." As for you, there are more important battles to be fought. ”
"A more important battle? Going back to attack Xiakou Castle again? Didn't you just give up yesterday morning? "Let Guan Ping put aside the enemy troops he could see in front of him not to chase, and ran back so far back to Xiakou, he was still unwilling.
You know how to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions! Alas, you guy, why did you forget it now? Ge Liang reminded: "Young General, don't forget, behind us, in addition to Xiakou City, there is a more important person waiting for our news. ”
"Father!" Guan Ping thought about it and immediately showed a trace of anxiety. (To be continued.) )
