Chapter 118: The Great War Is About to Begin

Who will be the opponent? Liu Yuan was puzzled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

While thinking, his gaze inadvertently swept to Ling Cao.

By the way, Ling Cao's son Ling Tong had already been summoned and had never been found.

Liu Yuan had already turned Wu County upside down, and he once thought that Ling Tong was not in Wu County.

Now, Liu Yuan finally understood that Ling Tong was likely to join other forces. The forces of Shu and Wei have already appeared, and only Wu is left.

This time, the opponent is Soochow! Liu Yuan was not calm in an instant.

The late forces of Shu led by Jiang Wei and the late forces of Wei led by Deng Ai, Liu Yuan were not easy to win. Relying on stronger generals and more troops than his opponents, Liu Yuan only expelled them from Wu County, and did not succeed at all.

Now, facing the forces of the late Eastern Wu period with 5,000 troops, I know that there is no hope of victory when I think about it with my toes, and even escape has become a dream.

Sun Li and Ling Cao also had solemn expressions on their faces.

"My lord, is there anyone who wants to rebel?" Li Xiuning, who was recruited by Liu Yuangang, asked.

"Yes. You have also heard that the opponent has 5,000 men, but we have only 500 men. Moreover, if I am not mistaken, the commanders and generals of the other side will not be weak. My guess is that they may want to kidnap me in order to take control of Kure. Liu Yuandao.

"Sun Li is willing to protect the lord and fight his way out of the siege." After listening to Liu Yuan's words, Sun Limao recommended himself.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan nodded. The force of the sick lieutenant Chi Sun Li 92 is not a decoration.

Liu Yuan was about to order Sun Li to rush forward, and Ling Cao followed him and killed him together. But I heard Li Xiuning say: "Lord, I feel that something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" Liu Yuan hurriedly asked.

Li Xiuning's strategy of 84 is slightly higher than himself. Of course, Liu Yuan should pay attention to her words.

"I think the opponent dares to block the retreat of the lord, and has already made a desperate plan. Even if we break through the first layer of enemy resistance, there may be an ambush behind. At that time, we have experienced a battle, and we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and we will be sleepy and lacking, and it will be difficult to break through. Li Xiuning said.

"But there are only 5,000 soldiers reported by Qu'a County...... Liu Yuan said, realizing the problem.

What he is facing is the elite of Wu State. The other party has been planning for a long time, and it is impossible to expose all the hole cards as soon as they come up.

They are perfectly free to conscript private soldiers and not report them. Deliberately sending only 5,000 men, the same number of soldiers as reported, should be confusing themselves.

How treacherous!

Fortunately, Li Xiuning spoke, otherwise it would have been planted this time!

His strategy was not much worse than Li Xiuning's, but he was deceived by this plan. It seems that his own experience is still not enough. Liu Yuan recognized the shortcomings.

Although the opponent's plan has been seen, the gap in strength is too great, and the situation is still grim.

"What do we think, Miss Lee?" Liu Yuan asked.

Li Xiuning pondered for a moment and said, "Forgive your subordinates for their blunt words, you can't break through with conventional means. It has to be fought to the death, or there is a little bit of life. ”

"Where's the action?" Liu Yuan asked.

"The enemy has completely blocked our retreat in the northwest, and the sea is in the east and south. We can only avoid the real and retreat to the north or west along the coastline, lengthen the battle line, disperse the enemy's forces, or have the hope of breaking through the encirclement. Li Xiuning said.

Liu Yuan thought about it for a while, thought that Li Xiuning's analysis was very reasonable, and decided to adopt her opinion.

So go west or north? Liu Yuan pondered.

To the west can reach Qiantang, Yuhang, Fuchun, and to the north can reach Lou County. The distance is not short.

Considering that Lou County is closer to his home base of Wu County, while Qiantang, Yuhang, and Fuchun are close to the border of Wu County. Liu Yuan finally decided to go north along the coastline.

Of course, it is not possible to escape by light, and you must send someone to delay the enemy army in order to increase the chances of breaking through.

Sun Li and Ling Cao both volunteered to stop the enemy army. Liu Yuan finally decided to send Ling Cao to lead 300 people to resist the enemy army. He took Sun Li, Li Xiuning and 200 soldiers to retreat north along the coastline.

Not long after Liu Yuan divided his troops, among the 5,000 troops in Qu'a County, Lu Kang got the news: Liu Yuan divided his troops into two routes, one along the coastline to the north, but the other road came up.

Lu Kang immediately gave two orders.

First: Speed up the pursuit of the troops and horses of the headquarters.

Second: Ling Quan Cong and the other 5,000 soldiers in ambush in the rear immediately set off and pursued Liu Yuan at full speed.

After giving the order, Lu Kang exclaimed: "Liu Yuan is really extraordinary, and he has a complete insight into our army's combat intentions. He gave up a hard encounter with our army, and in such a desperate situation, he found a chance to live. Now, the battle line has been stretched, and the battle has evolved into a chase station. The ambush I left behind is completely nullified. ”

Zhuge Ke also looked solemn and said, "What you said is true, but we can't give up easily. If Liu Yuan can't be caught this time, let him return to Wu County. Our army can only abandon Qu'a County and withdraw from Wu County. ”

"Not only that, Qin Liangyu, Yanghu, and Chen Gong are all extraordinary, and they will definitely be able to detect the abnormalities in Qu'a County. If you give up now, it's okay to get out of the way. If they continue to pursue Liu Yuan and fail to catch up, the three of them will definitely send troops. Once they intercept it, the consequences are unimaginable. Lu Kang added.

"What are the plans of the young section, do you want to retreat now?" Ling Tong said.

"There is no turning back from the bow. How can you let go of such a great opportunity? This time, I have to break my wrist with Liu Yuan! Lu Kang did not hesitate.

"Haha, that's exactly what I want! It's too much to retreat like that. Ling Tong said.

Not long after, the Lu Kangjun and Ling Caojun met.

At the moment of racing against time, of course Lu Kang will not play heads-up tricks. He swung straight up.

The difference in strength was more than ten times, which did not make Ling Cao afraid. Since he stayed, he made up his mind. Even if you fight to the point of a single soldier, you have to fight.

Ling Cao's loyalty is high, but it doesn't reach 100. However, Ling Cao's choice is not just a reason for loyalty. Not being afraid of life and death is the quality that a military general should have.

For many generals, he can surrender, but he is not afraid of death. Moreover, after fighting with all his might, he was captured, and then he considered whether to surrender. And not to be afraid before fighting.

For example, Cao Cao captured LΓΌ Bu and his subordinate Zhang Liao at the White Gate Tower. Seeing Lu Bu begging Cao Cao for mercy, Zhang Liao scolded Lu Bu for being greedy for life and afraid of death.

After meeting Cao Cao, Zhang Liao did not bow his head, not afraid of life and death. But when Cao Cao put down his body and recruited him, Zhang Liao surrendered.

Zhang Liao's loyalty to Lu Bu was not very high, and surrender was normal. But surrender does not mean fear of death. The lack of loyalty does not mean that you don't do your best when fighting.
