In the face of urgent letters floating like snowflakes from all over the place, Sun Quan's intestines were full of regret, Jinfan's movements were so fast and strong, it was obviously premeditated.

"Damn, this time I was miserable by that Liu Jingsheng!" Of course, Sun Quan would not admit his mistakes, so he could only desperately shift the responsibility to others, "And what happened to those spies sent out?" With such a large-scale mobilization of troops and horses in Jinfan, why didn't we get a little wind in advance? ”

Seeing Sun Quan just sitting there complaining about this and that, Zhang Zhao, who was at the bottom, couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and was extremely disappointed in his heart, after all, everyone here did not agree to send troops to Jinfan, obviously you want to go your own way, and now that the disaster is coming, don't you think about the strategy of resisting the enemy, can you just shirk your responsibility be a fart?

"Gong Zhang, now that Jinfan has broken through Qu'a, and the troops will be under the city of Wu County in a few days, what should we do?" In the panic, Sun Quan's head was blank, and he could only ask Zhang Zhao for advice.

Zhang Zhao said with a gloomy expression: "Lord, for today's plan, I can only transfer the army on the front line back to defend against the enemy!" ”

"Yes, yes, what Zhang Gong said is very true!" Sun Quan reacted and hurriedly ordered, "Come on, quickly send an order to Gongjin, and let him quickly lead the army back to rescue!" ”

There is no doubt that at this moment in Sun Quan's heart, the 30,000 army under Zhou Yu is already the last straw in his hands.

The sixth year of Jian'an, April 22.

After receiving Sun Quan's military order, Zhou Yu, who was only one step away from breaking through Moling, had to pull out the camp overnight and withdraw his troops and retreat to Wu County.

Zhu Chun, who had already been holding back his anger in the passive defense, proposed to take advantage of the situation to follow the attack, but was stopped by Lu Su: "Zhou Gongjin is resourceful. An ambush will be set up on the road to withdraw, and if we rush into pursuit, we will most likely be defeated! ”

Zhu Chun listened to his advice. Then he did not act rashly.

The sixth year of Jian'an, April 23.

It was not until the Jiangdong Army withdrew for a whole day that Zhu Chunfang sent troops from Moling to begin to regain the lost territory, and in just one day, the three counties of Hushu, Jurong and Jiangcheng had returned to Jinfan's rule one after another.

In other words, Zhou Yu worked hard for a long time, but not only did he not achieve any substantive results. also lost Dantu and Qu A.

In the final analysis, Jiangdong's troops are still too small, except for the 30,000 troops in Zhou Yu's hands. There were only 20,000 defenders left in the entire Jiangdong, including 15,000 in Wu County and only 5,000 in Huiji.

Of the 15,000 soldiers and horses located in Wu County, Yuhang and Wucheng each accounted for 3,000. Five thousand in Wu County. The rest of the other counties, adding up to only 4,000, how can they stop the advance of the Jinfan army?

In the sixth year of Jian'an, April 24.

Wang Chong took the initiative to lead the army out of the city to intercept and kill Zhou Yu, who had retreated, but Zhou Yu obviously didn't want to fight Wang Chong, after all, so far, he only had 23,000 troops left, and then a field battle would come down. Regardless of who wins or loses, the casualties on both sides will never be small. This kind of head-to-head confrontation of simple competition and troop consumption, Wang Chong can afford it, but they Jiangdong can't afford it.

In desperation, Zhou Yu, who could not pass Qu'a and rushed directly to Biling, had to lead his troops south, trying to cross the lakes to Yangxian, first to relieve the siege of Wucheng, and then bypass Zhenze and return to Wu County.

It's a pity that although Zhou Yu's idea is good, it is not so easy to realize.

Wang Chong found out the whereabouts of the Jiangdong army, and immediately led the cavalry battalion to pursue, while the rest of the army was handed over to Jia Xu to command, and then rushed over.

Zhou Yu, who learned of this, looked solemn, he believed that with the mobility of the cavalry, he might have been caught up by the other party in advance before they could board the ship.

The subordinate general Ling Cao proposed: "Governor, if you set up an ambush in the middle of the road, first destroy the opponent's cavalry, and then go south to board the ship, if you are lucky, maybe you can kill that Wang Chong Xiao'er in one fell swoop!" ”

"That's not the right plan!" Lu Meng frowned and objected, "The Jinfan army is not far behind, if we delay here for too long, we will most likely be forced into a desperate situation by the other party, and with the wisdom of that Wang Shaolin, we may not be ambushed!" ”

Ling Cao said irritably: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then what do you say!?" ”

Lu Meng took a deep breath and said solemnly: "The matter has come to this point, we can only leave an army here to intercept, drag Jinfan as much as possible, and buy enough time for the army to board the ship!" ”

"Dead tail to survive?" When the generals heard this, they all changed color, because everyone knew that this army that left behind the broken back would inevitably die for life.

"Governor ......"

"Who wants to stay behind?" Zhou Yu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, looking around with a faint gaze, "This battle is related to the survival of my Jiangdong, if you don't have the determination to die, it's best not to take this errand!" ”

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, the generals couldn't help but look at each other, but in the end, it was Ling Cao who stepped forward and took the initiative to clench his fists and ask for orders: "Dudu, the last general is willing to stay!" ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Ling Cao deeply: "General Ling, have you really thought it through?" ”

Ling Cao smiled freely: "It's just a death, what's the big deal?" It's just that the only son in the family is still young, and he will need to be taken care of by the governor in the future! ”

Zhou Yu nodded heavily and promised: "General Ling, rest assured, Yu will live up to the general's trust and treat him like a parent!" ”

Ling Cao said with a smile: "The governor is a person, the last general can still be trusted, so, please don't delay the governor any longer, the last general should lead the headquarters of three thousand soldiers and horses to set up an ambush here!" ”

About a quarter of an hour later, Wang Chong arrived with five thousand cavalry.

Holding the reins, Wang Chong waved his hand to signal the whole army to stop advancing, pointed to the dense forest on the left side of the front, and asked Tai Shici with a smile: "Ziyi, do you think Jiangdong may be ambushed here?" ”

Tai Shi Ci thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "In order to buy time for the army to evacuate, I want to ...... Probably so, right? ”

Wang Chong said: "In this case, I should personally lead a thousand soldiers to explore the way and lead it out of the forest, and then Ziyi will lead the remaining cavalry to kill, and I will be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" ”

Tai Shi Ci was anxious when he heard this, and persuaded: "The lord can't, this move is too dangerous, why don't you let the end of the future act as this bait?" ”

Wang Chong smiled and shook his head: "This place is secluded, just now we came here with a lot of movement, and now we suddenly stopped, the other party must know that we have some suspicions here, so if we don't see enough people appear, they may not dare to attack rashly!" ”

"Still not right!" Tai Shi Ci paused again after speaking, and proposed, "The lord and the last general are similar in stature, if the last general pretends to be the lord to go, the other party will definitely not be able to tell the real from the fake from a distance!" ”

Seeing Tai Shi Ci's insistence, Wang Chong was reluctant to do so, so he had to agree to exchange clothes with Tai Shi Ci and let him pretend to be himself and step forward as a bait. (To be continued.) )
