The Fu Xuan army chased Qingfa and discovered that Yuanzhu was arranging a warship to cross the river. The soldiers of the Wu army all wanted to take advantage of the situation to cover up the past, but the husband did not obey and wanted to outwit him.

The husband ordered the 10,000 forward troops led by him to retreat 20 miles back to the village.

The generals were very puzzled, and said with a smile: "Our army retreats, and if we shoot from a distance, we will not worry about the enemy behind us, so we will calmly cross the river." When the Chu army was halfway crossed, our army launched a surprise attack from behind. The soldiers who have already crossed the river will naturally be happy to avoid death, and the soldiers who have not yet crossed the river will naturally compete to cross the river, who is willing to fight to the death? ”

When the generals saw that what their husbands said was reasonable, they led their troops to retreat 20 miles. The husband ordered him to investigate the news of the Chu army's crossing of the river at any time, and to report to himself if there was any trouble.

In less than an hour, Sun Wu and He Lu led the Chinese army to arrive, and they were 2 miles away from the camp of the husband and went down to the village. He Lu was very happy to hear the husband's plan, and said to Sun Wu and the soldiers: "The widow has always thought that my brother is just a martial artist, and he doesn't want to know the soldiers, so if he can come up with such a plan, why worry about Ying's failure?" ”

All the generals congratulated him, and the lone soldier was silent, and asked strangely.

Wu Yuan said: "The husband is brave and strategic, and he can naturally congratulate him, but the minister has a word, but he doesn't know whether to say it?" ”

He Lu was even more strange, and when he saw that the soldiers were unwilling to say anything, he ordered the generals to retreat.

The soldier stood under the tent, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "The minister risked death to speak." Since the king talked about the general of the husband, the minister heard that he was separated from the husband before, and said to the minister in private: The husband has no hair and steel teeth, and there will be a betrayal of the country. Although he is heroic, he must not be entrusted with a full-time position. The minister thought that the general was the king's brother, and he had never dared to talk about it to the king. ”

He Lu frowned and said, "Although the Taishi has the name of a god. But human life is in heaven, how can it be compared? The widow and the husband are both brothers and mothers, how can he have different aspirations? Today's words, only you know and I know, and you can't talk to outsiders! ”

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the soldiers had to retreat, not daring to talk about it again.

Besides, the long-range shot led the army to Qingfa, and heard that the Wu army was chasing after him, and prepared to line up to meet the enemy. And there was a whistle from the horse, saying that it was somehow. The army retreated 20 miles.

He was overjoyed to shoot from a distance, and said to the generals: "This commander expects that the Wu army will not dare to chase after him, and they all say that the trapped beast is still fighting, and the poor Kou is not chasing." Our army took advantage of this to cross the river by boat, and as long as it reached the south of the river, it gathered defenders from all over the south. If you fight with Wu Jun again, you will definitely be defeated. ”

So Yuanshi set up camp along the river. Order the army to five drums in the morning. After a full meal, cross the river.

On the second day, the Wu army reported to Yu Fu that the Chu army had begun to prepare to cross the river. Sergeants, horses, grain, grass, and equipment are being loaded onto the ship. The husband ordered the sentry horse to probe again.

When the Chu army had just crossed the river less than thirty percent, the husband ordered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to immediately march lightly. Less than half of the Chu soldiers crossed the river, the Fu Xuan army arrived. I saw that Wu Jun was gathering at the ferry, with noisy carriages and horses, and people shouting. Plus the military is in a hurry. The ferry port was very congested and chaotic.

Some of the warships of the Wu army's sailors had already been loaded and sailed across the river, and some were loading in a very chaotic manner, when they saw the Wu army suddenly surging like a tide. Everyone is frightened.

Because of the long shot, the father and son themselves have not crossed the river. At this time, seeing the Wu army coming, those Chu soldiers rushed to get on the boat and rush to the crossing. Those who had already boarded the ship wanted to flee first, and those who did not get on the boat jumped into the river and climbed along the boat gang, but there were too many climbs around, and as a result, several warships were overloaded and sank.

The Chu army scrambled to flee for their lives, and there was a great chaos. I couldn't stop the long-range shooting, so I had to take a car and walk away. Those Chu troops who had not crossed the river all fled with the long-range shots. The Wu army then pursued and killed, and captured countless Chu army's baggage and Gejia.

The husband took the lead, leaving everyone behind, and only cared about chasing the long-range shot.

At this time, Sun Wu led a large army to arrive, and ordered the Marquis of Cai and the Marquis of Tang to lead their troops and horses to attack and kill the remnants of the Chu State who were crossing the river, seize the warships crossing the river, and occupy the ferry along the river. Sun Wu was worried that his husband would have few soldiers, so he led a large army to meet him.

The long-range shot led the defeated army to flee all the way to the southwest, like a lost dog, to Yongdi. The soldiers were exhausted, hungry, and had a thousand gold under their feet. Seeing that the pursuers have not arrived, they can stay for the time being, and then order the soldiers to bury themselves in the pot and make rice.

The army rested temporarily, and when the corn rice was about to be cooked, it was not time to swallow, and the pursuers arrived. The Chu soldiers did not dare to fight, so they could only abandon their food and leave, leaving the ready-to-eat rice for the Wu soldiers to eat, and the Wu army tried their best to catch up.

The Chu army fled all the way, trampling on each other, and countless dead and wounded.

It is said that the husband probability that the former army has been in hot pursuit, and when the remnants of the long-range army arrived in Xunyang, they were caught up by the husband's army. Seeing that they couldn't get out, the father and son had to step forward to fight.

The husband drove forward to entangle and shoot long-range to fight, and Yuanyan was also surrounded by the Wu Corps, and the two armies were in a scuffle, shouting and killing straight to Xiao Han. The husband and the long-range shot are not many together, and the husband is more and more courageous the more he fights. The war horse, which didn't want to shoot from a distance, had been exhausted for a long time, and he stumbled and knelt down with a pair of front feet.

So the long-range chariot flipped on its side and threw the long-range shot under the cart. Seeing this, the husband rushed forward and stabbed a long-range shot with a halberd under the car.

That Yuanyan was surrounded by the Wu army, although it was desperate to rush to kill, and the Wu army was wrapped in layers, and it seemed that it was difficult to fly.

At this time, I saw a loud shout in the northwest corner, a banner covering the sun, and an army rushed over from the side. Yuan Yan had to look up to the sky and roar: "Wu Bing is here again, my life is over!"

It turned out that this branch of troops was the Chu army led by Shen Yinshu, and the original Jihua detoured to Fangcheng and then made a surprise attack on the Wu army. After the march was over, he heard the news of the defeat of Nangwa, so he had to withdraw the same way, and on this day he arrived at Xunyang, where he encountered the siege of the Wu army.

Shen Yinshu divided the 15,000 soldiers and horses into three teams, cut the front team of the Wu army led by the husband into three sections, and divided the troops to attack them.

Seeing the support of the Chu army, he didn't care much about his repeated victories. However, the Chu army attacked in three directions, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses. Seeing that Chu's troops were strong, the husband had to break the siege and retreat.

Shen Yinshu rescued Yuanyan, and led the army to kill for a while, and the Wu army was killed and wounded more than 1,000 people, so they had to leave and flee backwards.

Shen Yinshu was about to continue to pursue and kill the Wu army, when Sun Wu led the army to arrive. The two resisted, each set up camp, and agreed to fight again in the coming day.

Shen Yinshu saw that the situation was critical, if he could entangle the Wu army here, give Yingdu more time to deploy troops and build a defensive line, even if he died on the battlefield, it would be worth it.

After thinking about it again and again, Shen Yinshu returned to the camp and instructed his retainer Wu Jubei: "Xiangguo failed to follow my flanking tactics for the sake of greed, resulting in today's fiasco. According to the current situation, Wu's invasion of China's hinterland has become a great disaster, and it cannot be eliminated in one day. Tomorrow I will fight to the death with the Wu army! ”

After hearing this, the retainer Wu Jubei knew that the master was determined to die, and wept: "The master is loyal to the country, but why risk the death to fight? Wu's army is strong, so it is better to withdraw to Hanyang, and it can be defended with the help of the danger of the river. ”

"If our army retreats, the Wu soldiers must chase closely, how can they have the opportunity and time to cross the river? In addition, all the warships along the river have been burned, half of the warships that were fired this time have already crossed the river, and half have been captured and burned by the Wu army, so our army has no ships to cross. ”

Shen Yinshu sighed: "Originally, our army had the advantage of strength, with more than 100,000 people. However, Xiangguo was defeated like this, the situation took a sharp turn, and the victory and defeat were divided. In tomorrow's decisive battle, if you can win by luck and not die, then you can strangle the Wu army's troops and solve the danger of Yingdu. On the contrary, our army is defeated, you must save your life, bring my head back to Yingdu, and don't be asked by the Wu people. ”

Shen Yinshu turned to Yuan Yan and said, "Your father has died in battle, and he is loyal to the country, you can't die anymore." You return to Yingdu and tell Zuo Yin (Gongzizixi) that he can plan to garrison Yingdu as soon as possible and prepare to defend the city for a long time. The Wu army came to attack this time, and the troops were in full swing, so they should focus on defense and not easily send troops to fight. As long as Zuo Yin can hold the Yingdu, the Wu army will not last and will inevitably retreat. ”

Then Shen Yinshu wrote a letter and asked Yuan Yan to bring it back and present it to King Zhao.

Yuanyan got the book, and bowed to thanks: "May Sima sweep away the enemy as soon as possible, and build miracles as soon as possible in the world of Anchu!"

Shen Yinshu sent Yuanyan out of the camp, and the two said goodbye in tears. (To be continued......)
