Chapter 319: A Pyrrhic Victory

readx;?“ Come back, give me back, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, what are you running!? ”

Cai Mao roared hoarsely on her horse, hoping to save the momentum, but it was useless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Maybe the one or two thousand soldiers around Cai Mao did know that he was still alive, but the general trend was already unchangeable.

The soldiers and horses on the two wings in front of them were defeated like a mountain under the strong attack of Jinfan, Zhou Tai led the troops to cover up and kill, and the rout was crushed and fled all the way back, and suddenly the rear formation was scattered.

Soon, the Iron Guard Battalion broke through the blockade of the sword and shield soldiers, and a small part of them stepped forward to rescue Zhou Hu who was under siege, and the rest of the soldiers all flew towards Cai Mao with murderous vigour.

Zhang Yun led an army to barely block the charge of the Iron Guard Battalion, turned around and hurriedly persuaded: "Governor, the general trend has gone, don't stay for a long time, retreat quickly!" ”

A touch of unwillingness flashed on Cai Mao's face, and when he thought that he would inevitably be sneered at by Huang Zu after he went back, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved and uncomfortable in his heart.

"Hugh is gone, Cai Mao's dog thief!!"

At this time, Zhou Tai also led the troops to kill, the big knife in his hand danced like the wind, and the war horse rampaged in the enemy formation, as if entering a no-man's land, and in a blink of an eye, there were only dozens of steps left from Cai Mao.

Seeing this, Cai Mao was full of heart and gall, and finally retreated, so he quickly turned the horse's head and ordered: "Withdraw!" ”

"Chasing !!"

Zhou Tai's expression was cold, and he led the army to chase all the way, and the people who killed Jingzhou lost their armor and ran away.

Outside the city of Yixian, Huang Zu led the troops to line up neatly on both sides of the city gate, covering the rout and fleeing into the city.

Zhou Tai saw that Huang Zu had already taken precautions, and knew that it was difficult to get Yi County, but he did not force it, and immediately ordered to retreat.

Huang Zu was very cautious and did not rush to attack, after all, he only had 7,000 troops left in his hands. If you accidentally fall into Jinfan's ambush, let alone Yixian, you may not even be able to keep Xiling in the rear.

This battle. Jinfan killed tens of thousands of enemies and captured nearly 3,000 enemies. However, the price paid by itself was also not small, more than 4,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, and more than half of the Iron Guard Battalion was killed or wounded.

There is no doubt that after this battle, without reinforcements, they will have to defend passively.

Fortunately, the Jingzhou army was also defeated, and for a long time after that, they should not attack rashly.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The screen cuts back to Koto.

Wei Yan who received Wang Chong's order. Only 1,000 troops were left to continue to garrison Wucheng, while he himself led the remaining 7,000 troops across Dongtiaoxi and set up camp on Sun Quan's southward journey.

With the operation of sending troops to Yuhang to an end, Wei Yan is much more cautious than before, he has already violated Wang Chong's general order once, if he does not act honestly according to Wang Chong's orders in the future, once Sun Quan successfully escapes into Huiji, then the head on his head is estimated to be not far from moving.

Meanwhile. He Qi, who was in the dive, also led 3,000 soldiers and horses to make a comeback again.

Wang Chong's task to He Qi was very simple, that is, to drag Yu Hang's Lu Fan and Lu Xun to death. Prevent them from going north to attack Wei Yan in the north and south with Sun Quan.

The battle of Yuhang ten days ago was the first battle since He Qi joined Jinfan, he originally wanted to capture Yuhang as soon as possible to prove his ability to Wang Chong, but who wanted to backfire, he attacked the opponent's fire attack plan and was forced to flee back to Yu Qian.

That battle made He Qi lose face, and now, he secretly vowed never to let himself repeat the mistakes of the past.

Yu Hang.

Lu Fan hurriedly found Lu Xun to discuss: "Bo Yan." Right now, Wei Yan led an army of 7,000 to intercept the lord's way south, I think. We have to do something, otherwise we will chase after Wang Chong's Jinfan main force. The lord must be more auspicious! ”

Lu Xun waved his hand and said: "General, don't worry, Wu County has 5,000 troops led by the governor of Zhou, Wang Chong should not be able to catch up with the lord in a short time!" ”

"But what if Jinfan goes straight around Wu County?" Lu Fan shook his head and said solemnly, "In order to buy time for the lord, the governor has no choice at all, and once he leaves the city, I am afraid that he will be ......."

"......" Lu Xun was silent for a moment when he heard this, and frowned, "This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. ”

Lu Fan sighed gloomily and said: "At present, my Jiangdong is in danger, and only by finding a way to let the lord enter the Huiji smoothly can I get that little respite!" ”

Lu Xun asked, "What does the general plan to do?" ”

Lu Fan looked at Lu Xun hopefully: "Bo Yan, are you sure to repel He Qi within one day?" ”

Lu Xun smiled bitterly: "The general is inevitably too optimistic about Xiaosheng, He Gongmiao has experienced a previous defeat, and now he must be cautious and cautious, how difficult is it to defeat him within one day?" ”

didn't get the answer he wanted from Lu Xun, and Lu Fandun fell into decay like a deflated ball: "Even Boyan has nothing to do?" How can this be? ”

Lu Xun smiled: "Actually, Xiao Sheng has always been curious, why does the general have to defeat He Qi before he dares to go north?" ”

"Of course, it's to avoid Yu Hang losing ......" Lu Fan was halfway through speaking, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly stared at Lu Xun with wide eyes, and asked in surprise, "What do you mean by giving up Yu Hang directly!?" ”

"Why not?" Lu Xun smiled and nodded, "The lord doesn't necessarily have to go to Yuhang when he goes south, he can also go to Qian Tang on the east side of Yuhang!" ”

Lu Fan said worriedly: "Having said that, what if He Qi took Yu Hang and sent troops to occupy Qian Tang together?" ”

"The general thinks too much!" Lu Xun said confidently, "He Gongmiao sent troops this time, and he would never dare to take the enemy lightly, so we left Yuhang by night, he was suspicious, and he may not be able to react at the first time, if the general is really not at ease, he can immediately send someone to ask for help from Sun Shao, the Taishou of Huiji, and let him lead the troops north to settle in Qiantang as soon as possible, so as to ensure that the road for our army's retreat is unimpeded!" ”

Hui Ji Taishou Sun Shao, although the surname Sun, but in fact is not a member of the Sun clan, in the early years, he was Beihai Taishou Kong Rong under the account of Gong Cao, was praised by Kong Rong as a talent who can serve as an important position in the imperial court, and later went south to Yangzhou with Liu Xuan, after Liu Xiang was defeated by Sun Ce, he descended to Jiangdong, in history, Sun Shao at this time has been appointed by Sun Quan as the Taishou of Lujiang, and then moved to the long history of the Che Cavalry, after Sun Quan called the queen, he was appointed as the first prime minister of Wu.

However, now that Lujiang is in the hands of Jinfan, Sun Shao's position has naturally changed.

"yes, why didn't I expect that we still have 5,000 troops in Huiji?" Being reminded by Lu Xun like this, Lu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly, "If Changxu (Sun Shaozi) can send troops to help in time, the lord will undoubtedly be much easier if he wants to withdraw into the Huiji!"
