Chapter 288: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
After resting in place for a quarter of an hour, Wang Chong again led the cavalry in pursuit of the Jiangdong army.
Jia Xu has already sent someone to send news that the distance between the two sides is only more than 20 miles, and it will take about half an hour to catch up.
Soon, Wang Chong led the army back to the dense forest where he had fought fiercely with the Jiangdong Army before, looking at the thousands of corpses lying there in front of him, Wang Chong couldn't help frowning slightly: "It seems that Zhou Yu is in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to restrain the corpses!" ”
Tai Shici asked, "My lord, should we collect the bodies of the fallen soldiers first?" ”
Wang Chong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The top priority is to prevent the Jiangdong Army from boarding the ship first, as for them......"
Wang Chong looked around, a trace of unbearability appeared between his eyebrows, and he sighed: "When we defeat the Jiangdong army, come back and bury them well!" ”
After that, he led his cavalry around the battlefield and chased straight south.
However, at this time, Wang Chong didn't notice that in the depths of the dense forest on the left, there were thousands of pairs of eyes closely watching their every move.
After about ten minutes, Wang Chong was infinitely close to the lakes, which made his breathing slightly short, not because of nervousness, but because of excitement.
If Zhou Yu happened to be directing the army to board the ship when he arrived with his army, perhaps the cavalry battalion would only need one charge to kill the other party directly.
"Lord, look!" Tai Shici's shout pulled Wang Chong back from his thoughts.
"That's ......" Following Tai Shici's hope, Wang Chong's face immediately changed. Exclaimed, "Smoke!? ”
Yes, smoke. The entire clear sky in front of him was almost shrouded in thick black smoke, and faintly, Wang Chong could even see the dazzling fire flickering at the junction of heaven and earth: "This Zhou Yu ...... It can't be a ship-burning, right? ”
"Burning the ship? Why? Tai Shi Ci asked puzzled.
"What else can I do? I know I can't run away, so I'm going to break the boat with us! Wang Chong sneered, "Let's go, I want to see what tricks Zhou Yu can play this time!" ”
After another two minutes of walking, Wang Chong finally arrived at the shore of the lake. The first thing that caught my eye was the sea of fire that burned in the thick smoke, and secondly. It is the Jiangdong army that has been waiting for a long time and seems to be only waiting for its arrival.
After searching the enemy formation for a moment, Wang Chong soon spotted a familiar figure riding a white horse under the word 'Zhou'.
When Wang Chong saw Zhou Yu, the latter's gaze happened to be staring at him motionlessly. The two made eye contact. Bursts of brilliant sparks were fired.
Then, Wang Chong saw Zhou Yu draw his sword, and roared with a hideous expression: "Brothers, now that the ship has been burned, we have no way to retreat, if we want to survive, we can only repel the enemy army in front of us, you say." What are we going to do!? ”
"Kill !!"
"Kill !!"
"Kill !!"
The vast sound full of murderous intent converged into a fierce wind howling, and the top and bottom of the brocade changed slightly under this powerful invisible pressure. Even the war horses under their crotches became restless.
"The whole army obeys the !!" Zhou Yu pointed his sword forward as he spoke, shouting, "Give it to me...... Kill!!! ”
"Kill, !!"
With Zhou Yu's order, the Jiangdong army all over the mountains and fields brazenly launched a charge against Jinfan, and in the face of such an imposing army, it was obviously unwise to fight hard.
Wang Chong turned his horse's head with a cold expression and ordered: "Retreat!" ”
There were no cavalry under Zhou Yu's command, so if they wanted to leave, who would be able to keep them?
The strategy of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, in the final analysis, is like a double-edged sword, if you can't hurt the other party, you may hurt yourself.
In history, there have been many successful cases of Jedi Counterattack, but in fact, there are many more cases of failure, because it is only a blow, but once they can't hold it back, they let go of this breath, and when there is no way back, despair will slowly erode their hearts, causing them to collapse.
Wang Chong is withdrawing his troops now, just to avoid the edge of the Jiangdong army first, and when they realize that no matter how hard they try, they can't catch up with the other party, this momentum is very likely to plummet, and at that time, no matter how fiercely they lead the troops back, they will be able to win a big victory in one fell swoop.
It is undeniable that Wang Chong's thinking is indeed right, but unfortunately, Zhou Yu is undoubtedly more thoughtful than him.
A full 3,000 sword and shield soldiers gathered into a huge military array, from beginning to end, layer by layer, there were dozens of columns, just like a large fortress to intercept Wang Chong's way.
"Damn! How is this possible!? At this moment, Wang Chong couldn't help but change color, and gasped, he never dreamed that behind him, there was another Jiangdong army in ambush.
You must know that on the way to Wang Chong, except for the dense forest, there is no other place to hide: "Could it be ......?"
It wasn't until the moment that Wang Chong suddenly woke up to the fact that he had committed such a big negligence before.
This time, Zhou Yu obviously took advantage of Wang Chong's blind spot in thinking.
Just like when Wang Chong was fighting with Cao Cao last year, he took advantage of the fact that the northerners were not good at water, so he would subconsciously ignore the blind spot of the waterway, Wang Chong's mistake this time was also very similar, that is, he subconsciously thought that the Jiangdong army could not ambush twice in the same place, so he didn't even send anyone in to check, so he directly led the troops over, and the result was ......
"Okay, you Zhou Gongjin, this is going to kill my rhythm!"
Wang Chong's face turned pale, and he immediately used the only skill that did not have a cooldown time among all the thirty-six strategies.
"Activate the skill, go ahead!"
"Ding, the battle match is successful, the success rate of this lv3 move is 50%, and the casualties of soldiers can be reduced by 30%, do you confirm the use?"
50%?
This is the lowest success rate since Wang Chong used this skill, but think about it, the opponent's military formation is so rigorous, even if he and Tai Shici are brave, after breaking through several layers of defense lines, the momentum will inevitably weaken, and when the time comes, when the Jiangdong army in the rear arrives, they will face the annihilation of the entire army.
"Damn, I'm fighting with you!" Wang Chong gritted his teeth and used a killer weapon, "Use skills, fanatical!" ”
Originally, Wang Chong planned to use this skill in a head-on decisive battle with the Jiangdong Army, but now, he had to use it to save his life.
Airplanes......
An invisible circle of red light flashed, and the Jinfan Cavalry, who had been almost desperate before, suddenly felt an inexplicable warm current appear in their bodies, making their whole bodies full of strength.
Wang Chong, armed with a spear in his hand, took the lead in the enemy's formation, and shouted: "Brothers, at this time of life and death, if you want to live, follow the general to cut through this paper-paste formation and kill !! ”
In an instant, the morale of Jinfan rose sharply. (To be continued.) )
