Troubled Times Begin Chapter 237 Attack in Danger
With Zhuge Liang's reminder, and Cai Mao himself also has a deep fear of Lu An, so after suffering a little loss, Cai Mao hurriedly issued an order to withdraw the army, but Rao was so, and when Cai Mao returned to the camp to count the number of people, he found that there were still more than 10,000 dead and wounded soldiers and horses, which also made all the generals of Liu Biaojun who came to help this time completely see the strength of Jiangdong.
"Starting tomorrow, set up a few more antlers at the gate of the camp to resist horses, let's find a way to sneak to Jiangxia and join Huang Zu in the next few days to defend the city!" led the generals back to his handsome tent, Cai Mao said with some trepidations. So many people have died in less than two hours of today's battle, and if the army is entangled by the other party a little later, it is estimated that his entire army will be swallowed up.
"What the general said is very true!"
"Dashan, that Gan Ning under Lu An is too powerful, we can't fight!"
"It is a good strategy to use the strength of the city to resist the enemy's edge!"
The generals in the audience can be regarded as seeing the other party's almost overwhelming advantage today, and they know that the only end of stumbling with the other party can only be a dead word, where is there any reason to disagree.
Seeing that most of the generals in the handsome tent agreed with Cai Mao's statement that he wanted to withdraw the army to Jiangxia, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, although he had the intention to let Cai Mao suffer a small loss first to pave the way for their brother's debut later, but if the 100,000 army was scared in this battle alone, it would not be what he wanted.
"The general is slow, I think that the withdrawal of troops must not be done!" Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang stood up from the following and arched his hand.
"Why? Jiangxia itself has 50,000 defenders, plus our army, taking advantage of the city's advantages can always add a few more chances of victory to Shanglu Xuantong! Seeing Sima Hui's apprentice jump out again, Cai Mao frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
Although he learned last night that the other two were able to perform special military skills and love skills, he thought a lot of highly of the two of them, but there is a saying called young and frivolous, although such a yellow-mouthed child is talented, but because of his youth, he will always know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky, and it is difficult to accept failure, Cai Mao felt that Zhuge Liang and the two belonged to the kind of young dolls who did not know the height of the sky.
"I know what the general thinks, our Jingzhou is rich, there is plenty of grain and grass, and after converging with General Huang Zu's Jiangxia defenders, it is more than enough to resist the 160,000 army of ordinary people with the solidity of the city, but the general must not forget that Lu Xuantong is not an ordinary person!" Zhuge Liang paused as he spoke, and then said: "Lu Xuantong once rushed to kill hundreds of thousands of Dong thief's elite cavalry with 5,000 soldiers, and then attacked the three counties of Jingnan, Jiangdong, and Huainan were invincible, especially when fighting Huainan, when Yuan Shu's army of tens of thousands of troops guarded Shouchun, but in less than a month, Lu Xuantong was conquered by a new type of catapult, although it was because of the first new type of trebuchet to hit a surprise effect, but if we only retreat to the city, we will lose the opportunity, It is very likely that he will follow in the footsteps of Yuan Shu! ”
"Then according to what you say, it's not okay to retreat to the city, just stay and continue to fight with Lu Xuantong?" was said by Zhuge Liang, Cai Mao was also a little loose, but when he thought of today's results, he said a little sullenly.
"It's really feasible, in today's battle, although we waited for the Jingzhou Navy Division to suffer a small loss, but that is because no one on our side can stop the majesty of Ganning, and the combat power and battle formation of the soldiers are not weaker than his Jiangdong Navy Army, it can be seen that Lu Xuantong's water battle command ability is far inferior to his land combat ability, this is Lu Xuantong's weakness, as long as our soldiers overwhelm the opponent's water division in combat power, there is a possibility of defeating Lu Xuantong!" Zhuge Liang's eyes were full of confidence and wisdom, analyzing the current situation for everyone.
"Easier said than done, this is already the elite of our Jingzhou Sailors, how can we improve the combat power of the soldiers!" Cai Mao shook her head and said. Lu Xuantong and his soldiers have worse water combat capabilities than land combat capabilities, but that is only relative, those soldiers in Jiangdong are all mixed and eaten by the river, no matter how bad they can be, they can still be regarded as elite sailors.
"If the general doesn't give up, tomorrow my senior brother is willing to fight with the general for the battle array, and I will naturally have secret skills to improve the combat power of our army!" At the critical moment, Zhuge Liang didn't hide it anymore, and picked out his words to understand.
"Please also ask the general to give my senior brother a chance to show his strengths!" Pang Tong also stood up and pleaded.
This is not that their brothers can't hold their breath, but they urgently need a big stage, no matter at any time, fame is the best decoration of talent, and it is something that can never be missing for those with great ambitions, their brothers think that Wen Taojun is not weaker than anyone else, but they are all nobodies in the eyes of the world, even if they occasionally know them, they only know that they are the disciples of Sima Hui, a famous scholar in Jingxiang, and the others are not valued by others at all, obviously this is because their talents have not been displayed and their fame is not enough.
A person's fame can be gradually improved by many times of his own ability, many of the world's famous Confucian generals are known by others step by step, but in fact this is just the most stupid practice, the real great ability can take another choice, that is, through the shoulders of giants, although the difficulty between this is slightly greater, but the return is also proportional, defeating a world-famous strong man, far more than defeating a hundred times fool to glory, and Lu An is very in line with the identity of this stepping stone, And it is also the top stepping stone in the world, no matter who he is, as long as he defeats him, he will immediately become the strong man praised in the world, so Rao is the clear height of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and they can also put down their shelves for this opportunity.
"This 、、、!" Cai Mao hesitated a little, the other party's thinking was very clear and thorough, but he was really talented, but at such a young age, did he really have to believe them once?
"It's rare that my young man in Jingzhou has such confidence, in my opinion, General Cai might as well let them try it!" Just as Cai Mao hesitated, a soft voice sounded from below.
Cai Mao looked over, and actually found that the person who spoke out was actually Kuai Yue, who was with the military division, which was really a bit unexpected to him, to a certain extent, the request of these two teenagers at this time was actually to slap Kuai Yue's face, Kuai Yue was defeated when he was a battle formation military division today, and the two wanted to defeat Lu An for the battle array military division, in the eyes of outsiders, it was undoubtedly a kind of depreciation of Kuai Yue's ability.
"The big thing now is to expel Lu Xuantong for the lord, and I don't care about the others!" Seeing Cai Mao's strange gaze, Kuai Yue seemed to know what he was thinking, and smiled very kindly.
"Mr. Xenomorph is so generous!" Cai Mao was suddenly in awe, no wonder the development of the Kuai family has been very rapid in recent years, and has become the two wealthy families with his own Cai family, this Kuai brother is good at internal affairs, one is the main military strategy, and according to the gentleman among the people, if it is not for his sister to marry Liu Biao, I am afraid that his Cai family will be suppressed by the Kuai family.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also looked at Kuai Yue with a very surprised look, and when they saw that the other party's expression was not fake at all, there was a trace of inexplicable brilliance in their eyes, no matter what, a person with elegant temperament is worthy of respect.
"Okay, since that's the case, then tomorrow Japan will face Lu Xuantong again, and it will depend on your performance when it is played!" Seeing that Kuai Yue agreed, Cai Mao finally made up her mind and nodded.
"Thank you, general, I don't know if the general can hand over the command of the battle tomorrow!" Zhuge Liang bowed his hand and said.
"You!" Cai Mao frowned, the command is no better than others, if the battle array division is not good, he can quickly retreat with the army, if the command is handed over to the other party, then the life and death of these armies will be in the hands of the other party. He couldn't help but glance at this extraordinarily bearing boy again, but he could only see in the other party's eyes the light of hope, such as self-confidence, conceit, and wisdom.
"Okay, Ben will hand over the command of the battle to you tomorrow, and now I'm very curious about how outstanding Mr. Shuijing's disciple is!" Perhaps affected by the other party's extraordinary bearing and self-confidence, Cai Mao actually had a strong desire to believe in the other party at the moment, and without too much hesitation, he nodded again and agreed to the other party's originally rude request.
"My brother will not let the general down." Zhuge Liang showed a slight humble smile on his face, but his tone was as firm as categorical, giving everyone present an extremely strong confidence.
The next day, when Lu An approached the fleet again, Cai Mao did not escape, but pulled the remaining 80,000 troops into formation, and the two sides confronted each other on the river again.
"This guy slipped away very quickly yesterday, and he dared to come out today, which was beyond my expectations!" Seeing that Cai Mao actually dared to sail the boat to the surface of the water to confront the party, Lu An said with some surprise. Looking at Cai Mao's appearance of running away early yesterday, he is obviously a cautious person, such a person is more reasonable to hide in the camp and not be able to defend it.
"Something is wrong!" Guo Jia on the side swept the other party's military appearance from afar, and his brows wrinkled slightly.
"Huh? Any questions? Listening to Guo Jia's self-talk, Lu An asked.
"The other party's military array is different from yesterday, although it seems to be not much different from yesterday from the outside, but if you look closely, the structure of its military array has changed a lot, if the main general is interested, I am afraid that a lot of changes can be born!" Guo Jia explained softly.
"Wouldn't they, they can make such a big progress in just one day? Could it be that they changed the formation at random, which makes us think more! Lu An said with some surprise.
"No matter what, the lord should be cautious!" Guo Jia didn't dwell too much on this aspect, just reminded him. The battle formation is only a part of the duel between the two armies, and even if the opposite side changes into a strong formation, as long as it is still those sergeants and captains from yesterday, I believe that it will not affect the overall situation of the entire war.
