With Wei Yan's shout, most of the Jiangdong soldiers who saw that the main generals were all dead chose to surrender, and some of the main generals who followed them committed suicide, for these soldiers who committed suicide, Wei Yan ordered them to be buried well, and for those soldiers who surrendered, Wei Yan naturally did not embarrass them, broke them out of order, incorporated them into his own army, and some of the sergeants were incorporated into Huo Jun's army.

In this ambush battle, Wei Yan naturally paid a lot of price, the whole army was more than 7,000 people, and he lost more than 1,000 people, but he gained more, plus the prisoners he got when he ambushed Wu Jing outside the dense forest before, Wei Yan's army actually expanded by more than 2,000 people, reaching a surprising 9,000, and Huo Jun's 2,000 people also expanded by more than 1,000 people, reaching more than 3,000 people.

In addition to the surrender of troops, they also received a large amount of armor, food, grass, weapons, horses and other things, and this time it can be said that they won a great victory.

At this time, Wei Yan immediately led more than 9,000 people to rush back to Wanling City, because this time Liu Qi did not dare to be careless although he formulated a strategy to encircle and send reinforcements, for fear that Zhou Yu's army would take the opportunity to go out of the city, so every time he sent troops to ambush, he did not dare to draw too many people, but even so, the army surrounding Wanling City outside the city had about 30,000 people left, and these 30,000 people needed to surround four city walls at the same time, and each city wall was only more than 7,000 people. The besieging army is likely to suffer.

Therefore, Liu Qi's order to Wei Yan was that as long as the enemy army was defeated, he would immediately lead his troops back to defense, because with Zhou Yu's shrewdness, it would not take long to discover the reality of the besieging army.

And the fact is indeed as Liu Qi imagined, this time Wei Yan led the army to ambush Wu Jing, although the besieging Liu Qi's army still played the banner of all the generals as usual, even when burying the pot to make rice, it still had the same number of pots and stoves as usual, but it was still found by Zhou Yu flawed, because Zhou Yu found that the cooking smoke from the pot stove in the east of the city that Wei Yan had guarded before was a little special, so he led the army to suddenly kill the east of the city.

Fortunately, the soldiers who stayed behind relied on the defensive measures made in advance to resolutely defend it, and immediately sent someone to inform Liu Qi in the south of the city, so they were able to survive this crisis without danger.

After this sneak attack, even Jia Xu admired Zhou Yu's judgment, of course, Jia Xu also admired Liu Qi's foresight even more, and further knew why Liu Qi recommended this Zhou Yu so much. So they were more careful to guard against Zhou Yu's sneak attack after that.

It is said that after receiving Sun Quan's order, Zhu Zhi, the Taishou of Wujun, immediately decided to lead an army of 20,000 to rush to the direction of Wanling in the starry night.

At this time, the Yamen general Dong attacked Zhu Zhi Jian, should take the opportunity to attack Liu Qi's defense force is empty of Shexian, and then force Liu Qi to lead the army back to defense, so that the siege of Wanling can be naturally solved, Zhu Zhi after consideration, decided to accept Jian, so he led the army to the direction of Shexian, but did not expect Liu Qi to be cautious, has already sent a large number of spies at the intersection from Wu County to She County, Zhu Zhi's army set off not long after, Liu Qi's spies have already gotten the news, and immediately rushed to Liu Qijun.

Liu Qi did not dare to slack off, and immediately decided to order Chen Zhen to lead an army of 2,000 soldiers, so he set up a suspicious array to scare Zhu Zhi away.

The result was naturally beyond Zhu Zhi's imagination, as soon as his army came to his hometown, he suddenly heard earth-shattering shouts and drums from both sides, and then he saw a large area of smoke and dust rising in front of him.

At this time, I heard a general shouting loudly in front of the battle: "The enemy will leave, you have fallen for the plan of my lord." ”

Zhu Zhi couldn't have imagined that this time Chen Zhen was just a bluff, he only had an army of 2,000 under his command, and the large area of dust was actually raised by horses dragging tree branches. And the number of drums in these two thousand armies was more than ten times that of the normal establishment, and all the war drums sounded at the same time, causing an earth-shattering momentum, which actually scared Zhu Zhi away.

"It's not good, the enemy general has already expected that we will sneak attack Shexian, and the ambush has been arranged in advance, and everyone will retreat quickly."

Zhu Zhi, who reacted, immediately led the army to retreat, and did not stop until he ran for nearly twenty miles, and after counting, he found that the loss this time was not large, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and said silently: "Fortunately, Ben will react quickly enough, otherwise I am afraid that a large number of people will be lost this time." ”

After a slight rest, Zhu Zhi decided to lead the army directly to Wanling, because the previous Du raid on Jianyi's sneak attack on She County failed due to the enemy ambush, so now he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to reluctantly move to the direction of Wanling with Zhu Zhi.

Whether it is Zhu Zhi or Dong Xi, they now think that since Liu Qi's main force in the rear is at least 20,000 or 30,000 people, then the troops besieging Wanling must not be much, and when the time comes, these large armies led by themselves and Zhou Yu will definitely be able to break the enemy army and relieve the siege of Wanling.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the territory of Wanling, Zhu Zhi encountered Gan Ning's ambush.

In this battle, Gan Ning led 800 Jinfan army to break into Zhu Zhi's camp at night, Zhu Zhi was defeated, and had no choice but to flee, and later after reorganizing the soldiers and horses, he found that the 20,000 army had lost four or five thousand, most of the four or five thousand soldiers were killed tragically because of their own people trampling on each other, and only less than 500 people were directly killed by Gan Ning's army.

Looking at the army with low morale because of heavy losses, Zhu Zhi couldn't help sighing, while secretly hating the other party, he also admired the boldness and courage of the enemy generals in his heart, and at the same time had to admit that he did underestimate the soldiers under Liu Qi, this time he suffered a big loss, but he also learned a lesson.

After that, Zhu Zhi cautiously led the army forward, but he did not expect that the army was only twenty miles away from Wanling City, but it encountered Liu Qi's ambush again.

In fact, strictly speaking, this time it can no longer be regarded as an ambush, because Liu Qi's army almost launched an attack within Zhu Zhi's sight, but this time Liu Qi's army had high morale and a large number of people, and in order to boost morale, Liu Qi personally beat the drum, plus the 800 Jinfan Army led by Gan Ning also caught up, and Liu Qi's army flanked back and forth, as a result, the soldiers were desperate, like a tiger descending from the mountain, fiercely killing the Jiangdong Army that gradually lost its fighting spirit.

Zhu Zhi saw that his side had suffered a lot of losses, and the imaginary Zhou Yu's army did not cooperate with the outside world, leading the army out of the city and attacking the enemy with his belly and back, so he knew that with the strength in his hands, it was difficult to lead the army to Wanling.

In fact, this time Zhu Zhi was really Wu Hui Zhou Yu, because after Zhou Yu found that Liu Qi's Chinese army was empty, he immediately sent the elite out of the city and launched a fierce attack on Liu Qi's Chinese army, but because Liu Qi left all the elite of the 8,000 personal soldiers under the command of Liu Shi in the Chinese army, although the number was small, this elite army stubbornly resisted Zhou Yu's attacks wave after wave.

At the same time, the Jingzhou army outside the remaining three city walls began to clamor to attack the city, and Zhou Yu, who was frightened, immediately led the army back into the city.

This time, Zhou Yu once again saw Liu Qi's team of pro-soldiers, known as the "Iron Army", and expressed his admiration while hating it in his heart, such an elite is really the only one he has seen in his life, and it is even stronger than the Danyang elite soldiers he is proud of, I really don't know how that Liu Qi was trained?

And after returning to Wanling, Zhou Yu's worries were even heavier, according to his judgment, Liu Qi had already led the army to ambush his own reinforcements twice, judging from the scale of those two enemy attacks, it should have ambushed the army of Danyang Taishou Wu Jing and Wu County Taishou Zhu Zhi, so that the eastern counties of Danyang and Wu County will become empty, at this time, Liu Qi only needs to send a Qiyu sneak attack, I am afraid that Wu County and the eastern counties of Danyang will no longer be owned by the lord Sun Quan.

"Alas, I hope that the losses of Wu Taishou and Zhu Taishou will not be too great, otherwise, I am afraid that Wu County and the eastern counties of Danyang will not be able to keep it." Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head lightly and said with a wry smile.

It's just a pity that this time Zhou Yu's hopes were disappointed again, because Wu Jing's 13,000 army was wiped out, the main general Wu Jing and the deputy general Sun Yu were all killed, and the 20,000 army led by Zhu Zhi suffered heavy losses after suffering successive blows.

After being attacked by Liu Qi's army, Zhu Zhi had no choice but to collect the defeated soldiers and order the army to withdraw to Wu County, but unexpectedly the Ganning army followed and pursued, and at night he led the army to rush into the camp tent and rob the camp.

After another rush and killing, Zhu Zhi's army can be said to have been hit extremely harshly, and its morale was extremely low, but fortunately, after desperately breaking through, there were still 8,000 people left in the army, which was also a blessing in misfortune.

And when Zhu Zhi led the army back to Wu County, Lu Xun's army stationed in Niuzhu also quietly, because the lord Liu Qi gave enough power, Lu Xun had already selected 10,000 elite soldiers before the forbidden army went to Spring Valley, and then asked Liu Qi for the generals who were familiar with water warfare such as the general Lu Meng and the general Chen Wu, and after a lot of preparations, he led the army and went east along the river.

Because it was downstream, Lu Xun's army came to the territory of Guangling in less than an hour.

At this time, a scout who was exploring the road in front suddenly returned, and after boarding the building ship where Lu Xun was, he said: "General, it's not good, there is a naval army in front that blocks the way of our army's advance, look at the other party's banner, it should be Guangling's naval army, how our army should act next, please ask the general to decide." ”

At this time, Chen Wu quietly walked up and said, "This must be the main force of Guangling's naval army, general, what should I do?" Do you want to go to war against them? However, once the war starts, our strength will inevitably be lost, so we will not be able to achieve the effect of a surprise attack on Wu County, and if we don't fight, we will not be able to pass at all, so it is better for us to cross the river directly and pass through the south side of the river. ”

saw Lu Xun smiled faintly and said, "No need." ”

Then he said to the scout: "You go and report the name of our lord, and let the Guangling naval army on the opposite side let go." ”

"No." Although the scout felt that this order was ridiculous, he did not dare to disobey it, so he had to do as Lu Xun instructed.
