Chapter 291: The war has just begun
Wang Chong led the army to withdraw for several miles, and after some counting, when he found that the entire cavalry battalion was dead and only more than 2,300 soldiers were left, and almost all of them were injured, his whole face suddenly darkened, and the little joy that he had brought to him after the catastrophe also dissipated without a trace in an instant.
In two consecutive battles, although the number of kills of Jinfan far exceeded the casualties of his own side, this was cavalry, and its preciousness could not be compared with ordinary troops?
"Zhou Gongjin......" Wang Chong muttered three words in a low voice, as if he had fallen under a spell.
In this confrontation with Zhou Yu, Wang Chong can be said to be a complete defeat, if he didn't have the thirty-six plan system, maybe even his life would have to be lost there.
Wang Chong let out a long sigh in his heart: "It seems that in the future, you can't take the enemy lightly at will, the wisdom of the ancients can't be underestimated after all......"
Like Wang Chong, Tai Shici's mood was also very low.
Previously, he finally waited for the two transactions between Jinfan and Han Sui, and expanded his cavalry battalion to 5,000 people, but who would have thought that this cavalry battalion had just been formed not long ago, and it had lost more than half of its troops in one day, he was very worried that when the battle against Jiangdong was over, he would be beaten back to before liberation with a stick and become a bare-bones commander without military command.
Wang Chong sat on a rock, looking up at the clear sky, and Tai Shici stood quietly behind him like an iron tower.
At this time, most of the soldiers under his command were bandaging each other's wounds, and from time to time they would let out a muffled snort or gasp.
The effect of 'fanaticism' has faded. The morale of the whole army has fallen again, and this fiasco is enough to leave them with a pain that they will never forget for a lifetime.
Of course. These pains are not completely unhelpful to a newly established new army, at least after a series of bloody battles, they are gradually fading away from immaturity and transforming into a truly mature elite division.
"Ziyi, how is Yuan Fu's injury?"
"It's nothing, it's just an arrow in the arm. Wen Fang (Zhang Quanzi) is bandaging his wounds, it should be no big deal! β
Previously, Wang Chong, who activated the skill of capturing the thief and capturing the king, entered the enemy formation alone. The pressure on Tai Shixiang, who needed to face the enemy head-on, doubled, and a rain of arrows fell, and many Wang Chong's personal guards were killed by arrows, and Tai Shixiang was also injured.
"It's okay!" Wang Chong breathed a sigh of relief. Heavy road. "This battle is indeed dangerous, if Zhou Yu's army comes half a minute earlier, maybe there are not a few people left who have died here!"
Tai Shi Ci asked, "Lord, what should we do next?" Will we wait for the army to come and then set off together? β
Wang Chong sneered: "In order to kill me, Zhou Yu did not hesitate to burn the warship and sink the ship, but it's a pity. Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, and in the end, I escaped smoothly. Now, he has no way to retreat, and when my army arrives, there is only one way to meet him! β
Tai Shici reminded: "The lord can't be careless, I think, Zhou Gongjin shouldn't be easily caught!" β
"Let's wait for the return of the spies ahead, maybe Zhou Yu is actively preparing for the battle right now!" Wang Chong nodded, his eyes lightly glanced at the wounded soldiers all over the ground, and sighed slightly, "With the current state of the cavalry battalion, it is no longer suitable to continue fighting!" β
"Newspaperβ"
With a long shout, there were iron hooves in front of him, and Wang Chong followed the prestige, and saw a small group of cavalry sent by him to reconnoiter the movement of the Jiangdong Army, and they were returning quickly.
When there were still more than ten steps left from Wang Chong, this team of cavalry pulled the reins and stopped the momentum, and the captain of the squad jumped off his horse, walked quickly to Wang Chong, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Lord Qiqi, now the Jiangdong Army is boarding the boat by the lake, and it seems that they want to flee south!" β
"Board the ship!?" Wang Chong's pupils shrank when he heard this, Huo Ran stood up from the rock, and asked with an ugly face, "Are you sure you're right?" Didn't the ships of the Jiangdong Army have already been burned by themselves, and where did they become so many ships out of thin air!? β
The team leader scratched his scalp in confusion and replied: "The subordinates are not very clear, but the other party is indeed on board!" β
The corners of Wang Chong's mouth twitched twice, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn! Could it be that the so-called destruction of the cauldron is just a trick set up by Zhou Yu? β
Recalling the scene he saw on the shore of the lake, Wang Chong immediately reacted, because at that time, his vision was blocked by thick black smoke, and he couldn't see clearly whether the boat was on fire or not, maybe ...... What was ignited was just a pile of firewood, if it was true, then this time, he was simply played with by Zhou Yu between applause.
"No, we have to go back and see!" Wang Chong couldn't swallow this breath, jumped on his war horse with a rush, and prepared to go south.
"My lord!" Tai Shici's face changed, and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the reins of Baiyun Horse, and persuaded, "In case Zhou Yu ...... again."
"Did you explore the jungle when you went?" Before Tai Shici could finish speaking, Wang Chong turned his head and asked the team leader.
The team leader nodded: "I've investigated, and there are no Jiangdong ambushes in it!" β
Wang Chong smiled slightly, and said to Tai Shici: "This is going south, except for the dense forest, there is no other place to set up ambushes, and the Wenhe army is not far from the rear, Ziyi can rest assured!" β
After saying that, he snatched the reins from Tai Shici's hand and galloped on his horse.
"This ......" Looking at Wang Chong's distant back, Tai Shi Ci stomped his feet anxiously, glared fiercely at the stunned soldiers around him, and scolded, "What do you see, why don't you catch up with me!?" β
A quarter of an hour later, when Tai Shici led his army to the shore of the lake, he found Wang Chong standing by the lake in a daze, his back looking extremely gloomy.
"Lord!" Tai Shi Ci jumped off his horse and came to Wang Chong's side, and then followed the latter's gaze and looked forward, and saw a huge fleet of ships on the lake in the distance.
After a long time, Wang Chong retracted his gaze, squatted down, grabbed a handful of still warm black ashes from the ground, rubbed them in his palm, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Zhou Gongjin is full of wisdom, I might as well be more!" β
Originally, Wang Chong thought that with the thirty-six strategy system, he could lead the troops to gallop on the battlefield and be invincible, but today, he realized that he was too naΓ―ve to think before.
On the battlefield, the situation is changing, and the most important thing is to be able to adapt to the situation and adapt to the situation, how can the skills of a wise man be able to match the flexible mind of a wise man?
After a while, Wang Chong stood up, took a hard breath of the fresh air unique to the lake, patted Tai Shici on the shoulder, and said with a light smile: "Let's go, let's go back, the real war has just begun!" (To be continued.) )
