Chapter 169: Escape

Now that the urn has been built, the rest is simple.

The houses in the small fishing village are all thatched huts made of reeds, and there is almost no wood to be found, but there are still some trees growing under the cliffs on both sides of the Soul Broken Valley.

And the Jiangdong army will not suspect it, and also said that the Yuan army cut wood only to strengthen the fortress.

If there is no large urn, because of the specific gravity problem, the raft made of these logs will definitely sink into the water.

However, it is different if a large urn is tied around the raft, and the hollow urn can create a huge buoyancy and lift the entire raft on the water, along with the people and horses on the raft.

Liu Ye fired a total of more than 400 large urns, and more than 300 were intact.

With these more than 300 large urns, Liu Ye has built more than 30 large rafts.

Each raft can take forty people or ten war horses and ten people, and nearly half of the people or three hundred people and three hundred war horses can be ferried over in one trip, but the three hundred parts under Gan Ning are the best boatmen, and it took less than half a night to send more than 3,000 people of Yuan's army and most of the more than 700 war horses through Broken Soul Ze.

Yuan Fu and Liu Ye were the second group to leave, Yuan Wei came to the raft, and called Xu Sheng, who was the last to stay, to him, and told him again and again, Xu Sheng nodded again and again.

After Yuan Wei left, only Xu Sheng and his three hundred horsemen were left in the simple fortress of Yuan Jun.

Of course, these three hundred horsemen have all become infantry at this moment, but all the war horses have already crossed the lake first.

Xu Sheng's task is to stay and deceive Zhou Yu. Make the illusion that Yuan Jun is still trapped in a small fishing village. In order to buy as much time as possible for the army to escape. The conscience of heaven and earth, at this moment, what Yuan Wei was thinking about was escaping, he just wanted to escape from this ghost place as soon as possible, and stay away from Zhou Yu, a demon.

The battle of Dabie Mountain has almost left a shadow in Yuan Fu's heart.

Xu Sheng faithfully carried out Yuan No's order.

It was another peaceful day, but the uneasiness in Zhou Yu's heart became even stronger.

Seeing that the sun had passed the middle of the sky, the Yuan army never launched a breakthrough battle. Zhou Yu couldn't hold his breath anymore and climbed the watchtower of the fortress again.

Standing on the watchtower that has been increased to more than three zhang and looking condescendingly, but only to see a hundred and ten steps away, the simple fortress built by Yuan Jun is still the same, hundreds of armored soldiers are still holding spears, meticulously sticking to the wall, on the watchtowers on both sides of the fortress, the sentry guards are also constantly looking this way, and the vigilance is extremely high.

However, behind the fortress. The small fishing village where Yuan Fu was stationed was quiet!

Zhou Yu's brows furrowed again, too quiet. No, it's abnormal!

This is not a confrontation between the two armies under normal circumstances, if it is a normal confrontation between the two armies, Yuan Jun's performance can be said to be very ordinary, but Yuan Jun is now trapped in a desperate situation by the Jiangdong Army, and there is not much military food left, seeing that the whole army is about to be wiped out, they can still be so calm?

Could it be that this is still Yuan Wei's strategy to deceive and confuse the enemy?

Lu Meng also climbed up the watchtower and asked Zhou Yu: "Governor, Yuan Jun's performance is very abnormal, this is the third day, why haven't they broken through yet?" Could it be that Yuan would have to wait until the army ran out of food, and then let his soldiers go hungry and fight with us? Yuan shouldn't be so stupid, right? ”

Zhou Yu subconsciously shook his head, of course Yuan Wei is not stupid, and he is very smart!

So, did Yuan delay his troops, and what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd?

At this moment, Zhou Yu also felt a little dazed, and for the first time in his life, he was born with the distress of not being able to guess other people's thoughts.

Previously, even when the battle of Juchao was the most difficult, Zhou Yu was not at a loss, Yuan Wei relied on that mysterious weapon, although he forced the Jiangdong Army to sign the alliance under the city, but Zhou Yu knew that if the battle continued to be fought, the final defeat would be the Yuan army, not the Jiangdong army, so at that time, Zhou Yu was not at a loss.

However, now, Zhou Yu really felt dazed, completely dazed.

It's like an angler, facing a pool of turbid water, but can't see the prey under the surface, he will inevitably panic, is it a big fish that has been hooked? Or is it a monster?

Beneath the surface of the water, will there be a monster that eats people?

Lu Meng said: "Governor, why don't you lead the army to launch a feint attack?" ”

Zhou Yu was silent, his fingers tapped lightly on the guardrail of the watchtower, but his mind was sharply calculating, investing a small number of troops to launch a feint, I am afraid that it will be difficult to play the true intention of the Yuan army, but if too many troops are invested, once the attack fails, the Yuan army will take the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, and it is possible to take the opportunity to break into the Jiangdong Army Dazhai!

Could this be Yuan No's true intention?

Could it be that Yuan is just waiting, waiting for him Zhou Yu to be unable to hold his breath first?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu raised his head again and looked at the cliffs on both sides of the Broken Soul Valley, the cliffs stood upright like a knife sharpening an axe and chisel, even the most experienced medicine farmers would never be able to climb up, let alone thousands of troops?

"No, don't act rashly." Zhou Yu finally made a decision, wait!

(Dividing Line)

After Yuan Wei led the army to cross the Broken Soul Ze, it was just after the hour.

Some soldiers were about to light torches, but Yuan Nuo shouted to stop, Yuan Nuo was afraid.

Yuan Wei was really shadowed by the ubiquitous beacon fire and wolf smoke in the Dabie Mountains, Yuan Wei was worried that there was a beacon tower of the Jiangdong Army on a high mountain near here, in case the torch was lit, so that the beacon tower of the Jiangdong Army found its whereabouts, and then lit the beacon fire, it would be a big deal, and Zhou Yu would immediately catch up with the army again.

You know, you haven't completely walked out of Dabie Mountain yet, so do you know that the previous tragedy will not be repeated?

Yuan Wei never dared to take it lightly, and immediately ordered the soldiers of the whole army to march in the dark, rather than having a blue nose and swollen face, it was better than recruiting the Jiangdong Army and falling into a desperate situation again!

However, during the day, Yuan Jun's whereabouts were no longer hidden.

Therefore, after dawn, Yuan Nuo began to constantly patrol the mountains along the way.

Fortunately, where Yuan Jun passed all the way, there was no wolf smoke rising on the high mountains on both sides of the mountain road, Yuan did not know that Broken Soul Ze was already the burial place selected by Zhou Yu for him, so the beacon tower of the Jiangdong Army only reached Broken Soul Ze, and after Broken Soul Ze, no more beacon towers were set up, in the final analysis, setting up beacon towers is also extremely labor-intensive.

After rushing south along the mountain road for more than fifty miles, two forks in the col ahead.

Yuan turned around and asked Ding Feng, who was accompanying him, "Ah Feng, where do these two roads lead?" ”

Ding Feng pointed to the two forks in the road and said, "Childe, the one on the left leads to Wancheng, and the one on the right leads to Xunyang." ”

Yuan Wei didn't hesitate for a moment when he heard this, and immediately said, "Let's go to the left and go back to Xunyang!" Let's go back to the sun first! ”

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Fu had already urged his mount and stepped on the path leading to Xunyang first, and Liu Ye, Yang Hong, Ji Ling and others behind Yuan Fu also urged their horses to follow.

However, less than half a mile forward, Yuan Fu suddenly reined in his horse and did not move forward.

Seeing that Yuan Wei reined in the horse and stopped moving forward, Liu Ye and others also followed the horse, Yang Hong even reined in the horse and turned around, and asked Yuan No: "Son, why didn't you leave all of a sudden?" ”

Yuan Fu ignored Yang Hong, only a pair of eyes were rolling rapidly.

As soon as Yang Hong saw Yuan Nuo like this, he immediately knew that Yuan Nuo was using his brain again, so he quickly shut his mouth.

Yuan No's pair of big eyes rolled around for a while, and suddenly turned around and asked Liu Ye: "Ziyang, I remember that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu should be good friends who grew up together, uh no, they should be best friends, right?" ”

Liu Ye nodded and said: "That's right, after Sun Jian was shot by Huang Zu, Sun Ce's family once lived in the Zhou family, and Zhou Yu was called Mo Yi because he was similar in age and like-minded to Sun Ce." ”

Yuan Wei said again: "In the last nest war, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have always been inseparable, right? ”

Liu Ye thought for a while and said: "It seems that in the battle of Juchao, although Sun Ce gave Zhou Yu all the seals and letters, and also entrusted the whole army to Zhou Yu to command, but every time he goes out in battle, Sun Ce will inevitably board the nest car with Zhou Yu and watch the battle. ”

Yuan Yu said again: "But three days ago, when Zhou Yu and I met in front of the two armies, Sun Ce was not there. ”

Liu Ye replied: "Sun Ce was seriously injured in Longkang, and the arrow sores have not healed, so naturally he didn't dare to walk the mountain road, so he couldn't appear in the Valley of Broken Souls, which is not surprising." ”

Yuan Wei said hesitantly: "So, Ziyang, you also think that Sun Ce didn't come to the Broken Soul Valley?" ”

"Definitely not." Liu Ye said, "Otherwise, with Sun Ce's friendship with Zhou Yu, when Zhou Yu meets with Gongzi before the battle, Sun Ce will definitely come to join in the fun." ”

"This is it!" Yuan Wei's eyes had already released a fierce cold flame, and he said to Liu Ye, "Then Ziyang, you say, where is Sun Ce now?" ”

"Where is Sun Ceren? How do you know this below......" Liu Ye didn't say the last word, he suddenly reacted, his face changed at the moment, and he said quickly, "Sun Ce has been interested in Miss Da Qiao for a long time, if nothing else, Sun Ce will definitely be in Qiaojiawu at this time, yes, he will definitely be in Qiaojiawu!" ”

"That's what I'm talking about!" Yuan Nuo slammed the knot, the cold flame in his eyes became more and more fierce, and said, "So, Ziyang, tell me, how many soldiers and horses are left around Yuan Nuo now?" ”

Liu Ye frowned and said in a deep voice: "When the Jiangdong Army went out to Lujiang, a total of more than 30,000 troops were dispatched, and there was a fierce battle in the nest, and the Jiangdong Army suffered many casualties.

Previously, in the Dabie Mountain, our army was surrounded and intercepted by the Jiangdong Army on the road, and the Jiangdong Army found no less than eight roads, about 500 people on each road, that is, 4,000 people, and 1,000 elite soldiers of Lu Meng chased after him, which was already 5,000 people.

Three days ago, Zhou Yu brought at least 8,000 troops over, about this, can be roughly judged by counting the number of camps of the Jiangdong Army, even if there is a discrepancy, the difference will never be too big, from this calculation, at this time, the remaining people around Sun Ce will never exceed 3,000!
