The river water in the cold winter season is indeed very cold, even if it only soaks the feet of those Yizhou soldiers, they are a little unbearable.

Therefore, when they saw the icy water gushing out of the trench, they all panicked, who would stay in the trench and soak in the water? Also, in the middle of the night, they really didn't know what the situation was, and when they saw that the sergeants in the trench were panicking, they caused a situation similar to the bombing of the camp, and they all crawled out of the trench in a swarm and fled to the camp on the mountain.

These soldiers of the Yizhou Army, although they are also elites, have indeed played a role in blocking the attack of the New Han Army in their posts today, and they have indeed played their due role in the battle. In their words, the battle was also considered heroic.

However, each of them actually has a big stone in their hearts. Because they all know what kind of army they are facing, it is the New Han Army, which is known as the New Han Army, which has never been defeated since its formation, and the New Han Army, which is invincible and invincible in the world.

Therefore, when they saw the power of the New Han Army's military formation, they all felt very stressed, and they were always worried that the New Han Army would come over. So, in the middle of the night, as soon as they felt that something was wrong, they all panicked, and it was inevitable that they would flee back to the mountains.

And the Xinhan army has also been keeping an eye on the situation in the enemy's position, after all, there are torches on the position, which also makes people see clearly. When they saw that those Yizhou sergeants hiding in the trench finally appeared, who would be polite to them? Suddenly, the bed crossbow that had already been prepared for fire. Launched almost simultaneously.

The sound of a huge bowstring rang out in unison, and the long-lost bed crossbow finally regained its power again.

The sound of whining crossbow arrows. Like a terrible ghost's whine, it sounded even more harsh in the middle of the night. It's chilling and terrifying.

The crossbow arrows all the way, with great power, interspersed between the dense obstacles on those positions, destroying some of the obstacles, making a porphyry sound, which was the sound of long crossbow arrows hitting those wooden stakes.

There were too many stumps left on the position of the Yizhou army, and the crossbow arrows of the New Han Army actually could not penetrate the position of the Yizhou army. It is also because of this that during the day, when attacking the defensive positions of the Yizhou army. There was no order to fire the bed crossbow.

However, knowing that it is not of much use, it can also create a momentum to scare the Yizhou army who are already panicked.

Of course, it is not that all of them are useless, but there are still some crossbow arrows that broke through many obstacles and hit the sergeants of the Yizhou army who crawled out of the trench and ran up the mountain.

The terrible screams in the dark night also added fear to the hearts of the soldiers of the Yizhou Army. One by one, they crawled out of the trench and fled to the camp on the mountain.

The Yizhou sergeants in the trenches were all implicated before the cold water that was artificially poured into their trenches had not yet flowed. They all ran back to the mountains.

Zhang Fei and the generals saw that the water attack plan had worked so quickly, where would they hesitate? Hurry up and push forward, clearing the obstacles on the battlefield along the way. Temporary cut down wooden piles and other objects were used to build bridges on top of the trenches dug by the Yizhou army. Let the army quickly kill to the bottom of the hillside of the Yizhou army camp.

The officers and men of the New Han Army also quickly sorted out a space for the New Han Army to set up a formation. Strictly prevent the Yizhou border association from coming out of the camp to counterattack.

It's a pity that he couldn't follow the Yizhou army that fled back to the mountain all the way to the Yizhou army camp halfway up the mountain.

Liu Bei was on the mountain, and he had never been able to close his eyes, but he had just closed his eyes for a while, and he was awakened by the movement under the hillside. He also thought that the New Han army had attacked him at night.

He hurriedly got up, dressed well, and ran out of the camp to see that some soldiers who were shivering with cold had fled back to the camp from the bottom of the mountain.

He grabbed a few soldiers and asked them, and he understood what the New Han Army was digging trenches for during the day. However, it is useless to know it now, it has been successfully attracted by the New Han Army and put the river water into the trench he laid on the battlefield. He couldn't have ordered his sergeant to lie down in the cold water that was freezing to the bones to fight against the New Han Army. If he dared to give such an order, his sergeants were afraid that they would rebel. In addition, even if these Yizhou troops could obey his orders and stay in those trenches soaked in cold water, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

Liu Bei was so angry that he slapped himself a few times, he was so unwilling, he had painstakingly arranged the position for so long, but it was so easily broken by the New Han Army. With a method that he didn't expect, it was easy to break itself. This is all to blame for not detecting the intentions of the New Han Army in time, and when they were digging trenches during the day, they should have thought of this action of the New Han Army.

If he could detect this action of the New Han Army in advance, he only needed to order the sergeant to block the trench and prevent the cold water from pouring from the New Han Army's diversion canal from flowing into the trench. I actually ignored such a simple means of defense, and never reminded my sergeant to guard against the hand of the New Han Army.

Misstep, misstep......

Liu Bei couldn't help but fall into deep self-blame.

But what now?

The position in front of the big camp had been lost, and the soldiers of the New Han Army were directly aimed at their own big camp. He also saw clearly from the mountain that the New Han Army had quickly advanced to the bottom of the mountain and set up a large array. He also knew that there were many large battalions in the New Han Army that could attack a large camp like his now, and he did not have any confidence in whether his military horses could withstand the attack of the New Han Army.

Even if you can keep it for a while, you can't keep it for a lifetime.

Of course, Liu Bei wanted to immediately gather his military horses to kill him down the mountain, and take advantage of the unstable foothold of the New Han army to defeat the New Han army and force the New Han army to retreat.

However, Liu Bei didn't dare, didn't dare to fight. In fact, Liu Bei also knew that this was something that could not be fought.

You must know that the New Han Army is not the Yellow Turban Army that he just led the righteous army to face before, the Yellow Turban Army at that time was just a rabble, even if there were many people, they could be easily defeated, but the New Han Army was a strict discipline, and its sergeants were all strictly trained, and most of the soldiers of the New Han Army. They are all battle-hardened soldiers. What did he Liu Bei take to fight with the New Han Army? The most critical is that he is now in the Yizhou army. There is a lack of generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who are brave champions of the three armies, and there is no such general to act as the forward arrow to impact the enemy's formation. How could he rush into the enemy's large array, disrupt the formation of the New Han army, and defeat the New Han army?

Whether it is Zhang Fei or Zhao Yun, Liu Bei is very familiar with them, and they all know how powerful they are, and their previous fighting style will not work at all in front of these generals.

In desperation, Liu Bei had no choice but to order the soldiers who fled back to rest first, and then order the Yizhou army in the camp. Strictly take precautions, and once the New Han army is found to be attacking, it will give resolute resistance and blows.

On the earthen and stone wall on the slope of the mountain, the preparation for defense is still quite sufficient, even if there is no battlefield defense position on the flat ground below the mountain, Liu Bei does not think that the New Han army can easily attack and kill his big camp. With his own preparations, he believed that he could still deal with the New Han Army for a while.

It's just that at this moment, he Liu Bei really didn't dare to leave here lightly. Because after the actions of this night. The soldiers of the Yizhou army surrendered, if he, the main general, once left. Then I am afraid that the whole army may collapse without a fight. Only when he personally sits here can he stabilize the morale of the army.

Liu Bei summoned a group of Yizhou generals and appeased them well. Let them wake up and prepare for the next fierce battle with the New Han Army. He returned to his tent before dawn. Take a break.

The sky is slowly brightening.

The situation is not as Liu Bei thought, after dawn. The New Han army did not immediately attack his camp, but first cleared the camps around his camp.

This is also a strategy discussed by Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei and other generals.

Water Attack Strategy. forced the Yizhou Army to abandon its battlefield positions and retreat back to the Yizhou Army camp in the middle of the mountain. In this way, it is equivalent to the Yizhou army losing control of all parts of its camp. Some passes, some mountains that are beneficial to the state army to guard, and some passes that must be passed. And most importantly, the water village on the edge of the Yangtze River, the battalion of the Yizhou Army is also difficult to echo and support each other.

Therefore, as soon as the sky dawned, the Xinhan army left a military horse to fight in front of the camp of the Yizhou army, pinning down Liu Bei's large camp and army, and then sent other military horses to attack those passes.

In fact, the main thing was Zhao Yun's military horses as the troops to seize the passes controlled by other Yizhou troops.

Zhao Yun mainly led the army to attack the Yizhou Army Water Village along the river.

The Yizhou Army had a naval army, which was mainly formed to prevent the New Han Army from entering Sichuan. Its naval army has been established for a long time, but Yizhou has only been planning to defend itself from the beginning, and does not attach too much importance to the naval army. Therefore, they did not have real warships, and they did, but only some troop carriers. In addition, due to the limitation of water, it is impossible for them to produce a large number of sophisticated warships.

They were more trained in how to block the river and block the river channel, and guard against the naval forces of the New Han Army attacking upstream along the river.

Therefore, they often build some water villages in some places where the river is fast and narrow.

The New Han Army has also seen the means of blocking the river and blocking the river, and it has indeed caused relatively large losses and threats to the New Han Army's naval army. The naval army of the New Han Army, if they want to forcibly attack, it is unlikely.

The Xinhan army also learned this, so, after a lesson, it no longer planned to attack directly from the waterway.

Now, the camp of the Yizhou Army has been pinned down by Zhang Fei's army, and it can no longer support the water village by the river at any time. Therefore, Zhao Yun's cavalry quickly killed and isolated the water village by the river.

Although those water villages are also built by mountains and rivers, the terrain is quite dangerous, but they can't resist the attack of the New Han Army.

What's more, the Yizhou army did not go through a big battle, and its combat effectiveness was limited, and under the fierce attack of Zhao Yun's army, they directly broke through their water village. Took control of the waterways around the Patong area.

Although it is difficult to directly attack the Yangtze River waterway in this area, when you control both sides of the river, you can control the waterway. In this way, the military horses of the New Han Army could also transport troops directly from the waterway, bypassing Liu Bei's Yizhou camp, directly passing through Badong, and entering Xichuan.

Liu Bei slept groggily until dawn before waking up.

He was awakened by an urgent report.

The sergeant came to report that many of the passes he had blocked the New Han Army's attack on Yizhou in the Badong area had been broken by the New Han Army.

Especially when he heard the news that Shuizhai had also been captured by the Xinhan army, he couldn't help but lose his color and break out in a cold sweat.

He slapped himself on the forehead and scolded himself for being really confused.

If the Yangtze River is lost, what is the point of him leading his army to fight the New Han army here?

He has really gone crazy in the past two days, and his mind is not flexible enough, and he always cares about one thing and the other.

He forgot that the military horses of the New Han Army were already too many more than his Yizhou Army, and the combat effectiveness of the New Han Army was also stronger than that of his Yizhou Army. The Xinhan army left a military horse to contain his large camp of the Yizhou army, and there was still the spare strength to send military horses to attack his other camps and passes.

For a while, Liu Bei felt a feeling of powerlessness. What's more, he only seriously feels that there is no one available around him now. At critical moments, no one can give him advice, no one can share the pressure for him.

can't stop the pace of the New Han Army entering Sichuan. Liu Bei knew that he had to lead his army out of here immediately and retreat to build a new defense line, otherwise, he would really be finished.

Fortunately, even if the Badong area completely falls into the hands of the New Han Army, he still has the Wuxia area, from Wuxia to Fuling City to the Bajun area, there are still about 600 miles, this long and dangerous route, as long as he sets up a wide defense line, even if he can't completely block the attack of the New Han Army, but he can still block it for a while.

In fact, the really dangerous road into Sichuan is also this section of the road.

Liu Bei thought about it again and felt that the only way to give up Padang was now.

Fortunately, it's still too late, otherwise, I'm afraid that even his Yizhou army here will be difficult to evacuate.

The decision was made, and Liu Bei immediately summoned the generals to arrange the withdrawal of the army.

On the same day, he quietly led an army to evacuate over the mountains behind the barracks, returned to the Wuxia area, and laid out a defensive line.

Liu Bei planned that he laid down the defense line all the way, set up many checkpoints, and ordered the generals below to stay behind, and he rushed to Yangping Pass to meet with Meng Da, asking him to defend Yangping Pass for him no matter what.

Just three days after Liu Bei secretly evacuated, the New Han Army finally noticed that Liu Bei's camp was getting fewer and smaller, and couldn't help but launch an attack on his military camp and rushed down.

Zhang Fei also knew that Liu Bei had already evacuated.

On the other hand, generals such as Yangping Pass, Guan Yu and Ma Chao are also ready to attack Yangping Pass with all their might. The Great War is on the verge of breaking out. (To be continued......)
