Chapter 686: Stealing the camp and robbing the village

Just when Zhou Yu was worried, news came from the direction of Tancheng, Yu Banwen heard that Che Zhou was defeated in Suiling, and immediately led a large army from Qingzhou to the south, gathered the troops of the three northern counties of Xuzhou, and pressed down with the momentum of Mount Tai.

Due to the disparity in strength, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng failed to block Yu Ban in Liangcheng Lu County, and led their troops to flee back to Xiapi, while Yu Ban's army was already approaching Xiapi and was forty miles north of the city.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng fled back to the Wu camp, and Zhou Yu said angrily: "Why was a certain order to block the enemy for ten days, why was it defeated in three days?" ”

The two generals were ashamed, Zhou Yu's anger did not subside, and he ordered the two to be beheaded, and the strategist Pang Tong persuaded: "The governor is angry, Yu Bantong has 150,000 people, and the two generals Xu Ding only have 20,000 horses, how can they be enemies?" He thought that this was not the fault of the two generals, and asked the governor's subordinates to be merciful. ”

Zhou Yu waved back Xu Sheng Ding Feng and said to Pang Tong: "Now that our army is blocked under Xiapi City, and the enemy's reinforcements are coming, what can I do?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Xiapi has repeatedly failed to conquer, the morale of our army is low, and there are many forbidden soldiers, so it is not appropriate for the governor to be the enemy, so it is better to temporarily withdraw from Huaiyin and then try a good strategy." ”

Zhou Yu frowned, the current shape is indeed critical, the Wu army is attacked on both sides, but anyone with a little military common sense will not think that this will be a good place to fight, Zhou Yu of course also understands the situation at this time, but retreating means defeat, it is undoubtedly unacceptable to Zhou Yu, the tall image that has just been erected by the victory of Suiling will collapse immediately, so Zhou Yu must stick to this place and achieve a big victory, so as to be able to prove his ability and make some people shut up. But the key question is how to achieve a shocking reversal, and it is not easy to survive PUBG.

Sneak attack! Zhou Yu had a flash of inspiration and said to Pang Tong: "Yu Ban is far away and has many soldiers, so he will inevitably be lax. Our army sneaked up on the night, what did Shi Yuan think? ”

Pang Tongyi's face was stunned, and he wondered if Zhou Yu was in a daze, shook his head and said: "Among Cao Cao's generals, he is the most resolute and good at defense. If the army is strictly organized, how can it be unprepared, and if the governor wants to sneak attack, it may be difficult to make meritorious contributions. ”

Zhou Yu said disapprerovingly: "The wise man has a thousand thoughts, there will be a mistake, and if I come here, I must not dare to steal the camp and rob the village, I will do the opposite, and I will be able to win in one fell swoop." So he didn't listen to Pang Tong's advice. Dispatch troops to prepare for a sneak attack on the forbidden camp at night.

Pang Tong shook his head and smiled bitterly, Zhou Yu is crazy, really crazy.

That night, Zhou Yu personally led the army to kill the Wei army camp, and along the way, the horse picked the bell and the title of the person, quietly. About three watches. The Eastern Wu army had approached the Wei army camp. However, seeing that the Wei military camp was brightly lit, there were only a few sets of patrols to inspect back and forth. The whole camp was silent.

Zhou Yu was overjoyed and said secretly: "God help me!" The summons ordered the Wu soldiers to light the fire together and kill into the Wei army camp.

In a hurry, those Wei army patrols were panicked and fled in all directions, shouting as they fled: "There is an enemy attack!" There is an enemy attack! ”

Wu soldiers entered the camp. But seeing that the camp was still quiet, LΓΌ Meng and Ling led their troops into the Wei army's camp tent, but found that the camp tent was empty, and reported to Zhou Yu urgently. Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this. Secretly said: "Sure enough, I was tricked!" "Ordered Wu Bing to retreat quickly.

At this moment, the sound of killing outside the camp shook the sky, and countless Wei soldiers poured over from all directions, trapping Zhou Yu's men and horses in the core, as the first general, wearing armor and holding spears, it was Yu Ban. Yu Ban shouted: "Governor Zhou, you are too underestimated by Yu Mou, so that such tricks are not afraid of tarnishing the prestige of your Jiangdong Metropolitan Governor!" ”

How dare Zhou Yu answer, lead part of the way to break through, how can the Wei army gather more and more, Zhou Yu rushed left and right, and killed until about five watches, people were sleepy, and he couldn't get out of the encirclement. Just when Zhou Yu was desperate, Xu Shengding Feng led the army to kill, broke through the layers of encirclement of the Wei army, and rescued Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was so ashamed, he was still angry with Xu Ding during the day, and wanted to behead the two of them, but he couldn't imagine that if the two of them didn't fight to save each other tonight, he was afraid that he would have died in Wei Ying.

After breaking out of the siege, Zhou Yu met with Lu Meng and Ling Tong's various departments, inspected the soldiers and horses, and suffered a lot of losses. As soon as he was halfway there, he met Pang Tong who came in a hurry, and when the Wei army camp was fighting fiercely, Yu Ban had already sent a group of men and horses to counterattack the Dongwu camp. The Eastern Wu battalion was already not much left, how did Pang Tong resist the fierce Wei soldiers, and as soon as Fang fought, he was defeated and retreated.

Zhou Yu heard that the Wu army's camp had been lost, his face turned pale, Wang had to vomit a mouthful of blood, and hurriedly supported him left and right. Zhou Yu said to Pang Tong with a sad expression: "I regret that I shouldn't listen to Shi Yuan's persuasion, so I will have today's defeat, God will not bless me Dongwu, what if I can?" ”

Pang Tong heard the sound of the Wei army killing again, obviously the chasing soldiers had arrived, and hurriedly said: "The governor doesn't have to worry, and temporarily retire from Huaiyin, and then make plans." ”

Zhou Yu had no choice but to agree, gathered the remnants of the defeated brigade, and hoped that Huaiyin would retreat.

Yu Ban anti-robbery camp succeeded, smug, completely forgot the hard training of the poor Kou Mo chasing, and led the Wei army to chase after him, but he didn't know that the praying mantis was catching cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind.

This yellow finch is none other than Zhang Liao, the governor of the three fields of the Jing Army.

After Zhang Liao gathered an army of 100,000 in Huainan, he did not rush to Runan to join Tai Shici, but sent an envoy to Zhou Yu, wanting to march with Zhou Yu and solve the enemy in Xuzhou first. According to Liu Ze's strategic requirements, Sanye's main attack direction is Huaibei, Yudong and Yanzhou, but if Xuzhou, as a flank, is not taken in time, Sanye's northward movement will definitely expose the emptiness of Huainan and give Xuzhou's enemies an opportunity.

Although the intention of this march was that the army of Eastern Wu was responsible for attacking Xuzhou, Zhang Liao was worried that the army of Eastern Wu was not the opponent of the Wei army at all, so he took the initiative to get in touch with Zhou Yu.

However, Zhou Yu was stubborn and self-serving, categorically rejected Zhang Liao's Jianyì, and led the army to attack Xuzhou alone. Zhang Liao calculated that Zhou Yu would be defeated by Yu Ban, so he led the army to ambush west of Xuzhou, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Sure enough, Zhou Yu failed to steal the camp, and Yu Ban got carried away and pursued with all his might, which undoubtedly gave Zhang Liao the best chance to break the enemy. Of course, Zhang Liao would not let go of this opportunity to be missed, and raised an army of 100,000 troops, starting from Xiaqiu, and cutting the Wei army and horses in two.

Yu Ban also tasted the bitter fruit, due to the pursuit of Zhou Yu in the south, the Wei army's battle line was stretched too long, and it was suddenly cut into two by the Jing army, and the end could not take care of each other, and if he wanted to clean up this defeat, he was already powerless.

The attack of the Jing army was quite sharp, the goal was clear, and the action was swift, and it quickly divided and outflanked the Wei army south of Suishui, and annihilated them one by one.

Yu Ban couldn't resist the fierce offensive of the Jing army, so he had to lead his troops to break through in the direction of Xiapi, and after a desperate and bloody battle, he finally fought his way out and fled back to Xiapi City.

After Zhang Liaoqing finished suppressing the Wei army south of Suishui, he immediately waved his army to the north and besieged Xiapi City.

For Yu Ban, the ups and downs of the past two days, the victory and defeat were only in a moment, and he had just broken Zhou Yu, but he killed Zhang Liao halfway, making him defeated. Yu Ban has followed Cao Cao for many years, and has also experienced several battles with Liu Ze, in his impression, the combat effectiveness of the Jing Army is very strong, today he once again appreciated, it is indeed breathtaking, and at the same time it made him deeply afraid and worried, the Jing Army is pressing, can Picheng be able to hold it?

Compared with Yu Ban's worry, Xia Pi Taishou Gao Tang Long was full of confidence, and said: "Rest assured, Xia Pi City is solid, and Zhang Liao wants to take Xia Pi, it's just a pipe dream!" So Gao Tanglong asked Yu Ban to rest in the government office, and he personally rushed to Ximen to supervise the war.

Ascending the city tower, Gao Tanglong looked down, and saw that the Jing army outside the city was like ants gathering, layer upon layer, dense, banners like clouds, shaking the mountains and mountains, and the soldiers defending the city were all fighting in two strands, their faces were dull, and their hands holding swords and guns were trembling uncontrollably. Gao Tanglong knew that if he faced the battle in this state of morale, he was afraid that if the battle was not fought, he would lose a few points in momentum, so he pulled his sword in his hand and shouted: "Swear to defend the city to the death, and those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”

Before his words fell, he heard a loud "boom" in his ears, and Gao Tanglong's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness. (To be continued......)
