Chapter 731: Decisive Battle in Cloud Mountain
After a busy night, all the soldiers under Zhang Liao's command finally crossed the river.
On this night, Zhang Liao was very nervous, worried that enemy soldiers would chase him.
Fortunately, Lu Xun did not chase overnight.
When the army crossed the river, the soldiers were already tired and did not dare to do so, and their stomachs were even more hungry.
Zhang Liao did not let the soldiers stop to rest, and ordered the soldiers to continue on their way.
After the Fushui River, you can return to the bank of the Yangtze River in half a day at most. Whether it is the south bank of the Yangtze River or the north bank of the Yangtze River, there are troops stationed, and as long as they go back, they will have food.
The soldiers also cheered up and hurried to the road.
Xun You's eyes were already bloodshot, he followed Zhang Liao's side and said, "General, I think things are a little strange. ”
Zhang Liao said: "What do you think?"
Zhang Liao was still a little skeptical about Lu Xun's failure to pursue.
Xun You's expression was solemn, and as he walked, he said: "At the beginning, we were attacked by water at the lower ferry, and it can be said that we were defeated. ”
At that time, Lu Xun led troops to cover up the killing. ”
"Most of our soldiers died or fled. ”
"After we escaped from the lower ferry, Lu Xun also chased and killed for a distance. ”
"But under the circumstances at that time, Lu Xun could still expand the results of the battle. If Lu Xun continues to catch up, even if we can get rid of Lu Xun, there will never be more than 6,000 soldiers left around us. ”
Xun You's eyes were solemn, and he continued: "Let's just say that here in the Fushui River, Lu Xun already knows that we will cross the river, why not set up an ambush here, but just tear down the bridge?"
"As long as we set up an ambush in the Fushui River, once we don't deal with it properly, we will definitely stay in the Fushui River completely. ”
"But there were no ambushes, and no pursuers. ”
"It's weird. ”
Xun You looked in the direction of the Yangtze River, with a deep worry on his face.
This battle can be described as passive everywhere.
It seems safe now, but Xun You thinks it's a hidden crisis.
Zhang Liao's eyes flashed with a 'fine' light, and he said, "Strategist, what do you mean?"
Xun You said in a deep voice: "If Lu Xun doesn't chase after us, he will definitely lay an ambush on the way we retreat, and then wait for work." Our soldiers were exhausted from long marches. Keep on the road, and things will get worse and worse. Once you encounter an ambush, you will definitely be defeated. Moreover, it is concluded that Lu Xun's ambush is likely to be in Yunwu Mountain. ”
Cloud Mountain!
After Zhang Liao heard this, a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
After starting from the Yangtze River, the first place where there may be ambushes is Yunwu Mountain.
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "If the enemy is in Yunwu Mountain, we are indeed in danger. It's just that in the current situation, if you want to avoid Yunwu Mountain, you don't know how long you can walk before you can return to the Yangtze River. On top of that, we have no food. ”
If there is food, Zhang Liao will choose to hide in the mountains and forests, and then send people to ask for help.
But now hiding in the mountains and forests, what will happen to these thousands of soldiers?
After hearing this, Xun You couldn't help but sigh.
The lack of food for soldiers is the biggest problem at present.
Xun You said in a deep voice: "It seems that the current situation is that you must pass through the Cloud Mountain. Even if there is an ambush, you have to rush forward. ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Liao nodded solemnly.
If there is an ambush in Yunwu Mountain, Lu Xun will definitely block the news.
And Zhang Liao's people could not deliver the news, and in the end, they could only be blocked on the line of the Fushui River.
Thousands of people are hungry, and the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it becomes.
If there are dozens or hundreds of people under Zhang Liao's command, they can go and grab some food, and they can survive for a while. But in the current situation, if you want weapons but no weapons, you want food but no food, and you want combat effectiveness but no combat effectiveness, you can only break through.
As long as you break through, you have a chance.
Xun You said: "Lu Xun didn't chase after him, in the Cloud Mountain, at most the soldiers arranged by Lu Xun before. Without Lu Xun in charge, we still have a great chance. ”
Zhang Liao nodded and said, "The military advisor is reasonable. ”
The two of them talked with each other, and continued to move forward.
It is also getting closer and closer to Yunwu Mountain.
Zhang Liao had already ordered the soldiers to be on guard, and at the same time sent a part of the soldiers to inquire about the news.
It's just that none of the soldiers sent have been able to come back to deliver the news.
Arriving at the entrance of Yunwu Mountain, the uneasy mood in Zhang Liao's heart became more and more serious.
When they all entered the Yunwu Mountain, Zhang Liao came to the front of the army and led the soldiers on the way.
Turning a corner, Zhang Liao's pupils shrank.
Ahead, there was an army array.
The sentries he sent out were all killed and placed on the ground.
And the person headed by this army is Lu Xun.
Next to Lu Xun, there was also Sun Jing.
When Zhang Liao saw Lu Xun in front of him, his heart suddenly panicked, how could Lu Xun be here?
At this time, it was difficult for the army to escape.
The soldiers under Zhang Liao's command had a lot of physical exertion after climbing mountains and wading through rivers.
At this time, it is definitely impossible to run around.
Lu Xun was dressed in green clothes, saw Zhang Liao leading the troops coming, and said with a smile: "General Zhang, Lu Xun has been waiting here for a long time. ”
The loud voice came into Zhang Liao's ears.
Zhang Liao said, "Why are you here?"
Lu Xun smiled and said: "The Fushui River runs through Danyang County, after you retreat, I will cross the Fushui River by boat, and then wait for you at Yunwu Mountain." Of course, when we passed through the Fushui River, we removed all the planks and boats, and I think you hadn't arrived yet. General Zhang, it's been a long time. ”
In the smile, it was with murderous intent.
In this battle, Lu Xun is bound to win, and he will not let Zhang Liao escape again.
The reason why he chose to be in Yunwu Mountain was because Zhang Liao traveled all the way from the lower ferry port to Yunwu Mountain, and the soldiers under his command failed to replenish food, so it was already a group of people with no combat effectiveness.
In this battle, he will definitely win.
Lu Xun said: "General Zhang, you are very vigilant, and the general is also very impressed. ”
"It's a pity that after passing through the Yunwu Mountain and the Fushui River, your vigilance has been relaxed. ”
"And when you pass through the ferry, it's hard to think of a water attack. ”
"If you cross the Yangtze River and launch a direct attack, I consider myself a failure, and I dare not ignore its edge, and I dare not 'confront' you. ”
"However, you want the whole of Danyang County. ”
"That's where you lose. ”
Lu Xun's eyes were sharp, and he said, "General Zhang, you are a smart person. At this point, there is no point in resisting any longer, surrender. ”
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "We will never surrender! Up to now, the outcome has not yet been decided." It is not yet known who killed the deer. ”
Lu Xun shook his head and said, "In that case, then please." ”
As soon as he waved his hand, the archers under his command immediately took position, all aiming at the soldiers under Zhang Liao's command.
As soon as Zhang Liao attacked, the archers would attack.
Zhang Liao pulled out the saber at his waist, he looked at the soldiers under his command, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Sons, as long as we kill out of Yunwu Mountain, we will win." Kill with me!"
"Kill!"
Six thousand soldiers shouted.
Although the soldiers' voices were hoarse, the courage of the six thousand soldiers was still there.
Although the soldiers were physically exhausted, the six thousand soldiers were still sharp.
6,000 soldiers, worthy of a battle.
Zhang Liaojian pointed in the direction of Lu Xun and ordered: "Break through!"
At the sound of an order, the soldiers under his command launched a direct charge.
Even if there were bows and arrows in front of them, they had to rush forward. They had only one thought, to rush out of the Yunwu Mountain and rush over to join the army stationed on the Yangtze River.
Lu Xun's eyes were slightly cold, and he ordered: "Release the arrow!"
In an instant, the archers under Lu Xun's command let go of their arrows, and a dense rain of arrows swept through the air, 'shooting' at the Cao soldiers who rushed towards them.
