Chapter 497: Li Dian Zhongfu
The setting sun adds a bit of blood to the already bloody battlefield.
Yu Ban came from a distance, and only after he arrived in front of Sima Yi did he restrain the war horse.
He jumped off his horse and saluted Sima Yi,
"I've seen the general of Zhengnan!"
"How's the battle going ahead?"
Sima Yi asked.
"Returning to General Nanda, the enemy army is not the opponent of our army at all, and it was killed to the ground!"
Yu couldn't help but smile smugly and quipped,
"After this battle, I think General Zhengnan can completely relax and let us attack Fankou, right?"
Previously, Sima Yi was worried that there was an ambush in the Sun-Liu coalition army, so he kept pressing the speed of the march.
But now that Zhou Yu has been killed, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
Sima Yi pondered for a moment, nodded and said,
"Okay, when the battlefield is cleaned up, General Wen Ze, you will be the vanguard and attack Fankou first!"
"The last general commands!"
Yu Ban is overjoyed.
……
The other side.
After escaping from Cao's pursuit, Huang Gai gathered the remnants of his army and counted the number of people, while encamping in the same place.
After the settlement was completed, he came to Zhou Yu's camp and reported the situation.
“…… After counting, the losses of our army were more than 10,000 people. ”
Huang Gai sighed and said a little depressedly,
"Governor, even if you want Sima Yi to be fooled, you don't need to spend such a big amount of money, right?"
After Liu Bei and Sun Quan agreed to Zhuge Liang's plan, after some discussion, Zhou Yu decided to personally lead the army to lure the enemy deeper.
Today's defeat was actually specially arranged by Zhou Yu.
Although the army that was defeated by Cao's army was recruited by Jiangdong.
But let the children of Jiangdong sacrifice in vain, Huang Gai is still quite distressed.
"He who wants to achieve great things cannot have the kindness of a woman."
Seeing Huang Gai's painful appearance, Zhou Yu comforted him with kind words,
"According to the news we inquired about, as well as Sima Yi's marching style, it can be seen that this person is cunning and extremely forbearing."
"If there is no defeat today, how can Sima Lao Thief be fooled?"
Hearing him say this, Huang Gai barely cheered up and nodded,
"I hope I can deceive the old thief Sima!"
At this moment, a figure suddenly broke in from outside the tent, and said excitedly,
"Governor, General Gongfu, Cao Jun has moved!"
The two of them looked at each other, only to realize that it was Ling Tong who came in.
"Please tell General Gongji in detail!"
"Just now, the spies came to report, after the Cao army cleaned up the battlefield, a group of soldiers and horses took the lead and headed in the direction of Fankou!"
"The rest of the main forces of the Cao army are also close behind!"
When Ling Tong said this, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Rao is Sima Yi's treacherous, or has he fallen for our scheme!"
Zhou Yu clenched his fists, and his spirit was lifted.
has paid such a big price, if Sima Yi is not fooled again, it will be more than worth the loss!
"Governor, what are we going to do next?"
Huang Gai looked at Zhou Yu.
"Go to Shaxian immediately, send someone to tell Zhuge Liang, and let him prepare to deal with Cao Jun!"
Zhou Yu commanded.
Shaxian is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, and Jiangdong has long arranged warships there.
As long as Sima takes the bait, Zhou Yu will take a warship and go upstream!
……
Rear of Cao's army.
The military general Li Dian led a team of soldiers and was urging thousands of people to escort grain and grass for Sima Yi's main army.
Although the heavy rain has stopped for a few days, the roads are still muddy.
Every now and then a carriage would get bogged down in the swamp and could not move.
As a general, Li Dian didn't have a little shelf, jumped off the horse, and carried the carriage out with the soldiers!
"Father, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet with General Zhengnan in accordance with the charter."
Li Zhen, the son of Li Dian, was a little worried.
"The road is rugged and difficult, I think General Zhengnan will be considerate of us."
Li Dian glanced at the sky and said in a deep voice,
"If the general of Zhengnan is punished, I will bear it alone!"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers were moved.
"The general's words are serious, how can the general be punished alone?"
"That's right, we are willing to be punished with the general!"
Li Dian treats people generously and sincerely, with the style of an elder, and the soldiers are willing to work for him, which can be seen!
The group rested for a moment and set out on the road again.
However, as they passed through a dense forest, a mutation suddenly occurred!
"Whoosh ......"
Countless arrows shot out of the woods!
The sergeants and minfu under Li Dian didn't have time to react at all, and they fell into a large area in an instant!
"Enemy attack, alert!"
Li Dian's face was solemn, and he clenched the weapon in his hand!
With a burst of shouts of killing, countless enemy soldiers rushed out of the woods and surrounded Li Dian and his party!
Seeing this, Li Dian's pupils shrank suddenly!
This place was located in the rear of Cao's army, and he originally thought that the ambush would be a small group of enemies at most.
However, looking at the scale of the other party, there are at least 10,000 people!
How did such a huge army spare Sima Yi's main force and appear here?
But now I don't think that at this time, the enemy army has already rushed to the front!
Li Dian struggled to pull his spear, and several enemy soldiers flew away in a row, and said in a loud voice,
"Li Zhen!"
"The child is here!"
Li Zhen killed several enemy soldiers and turned his horse to Li Dian's side.
"Organize the retreat of the soldiers immediately!"
Li Dian commanded in a hurried tone.
This time he escorted grain and grass, he only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the enemy army had 10,000 people!
Even if the troops are at a disadvantage, they are ambushed by the other party, how can this battle be fought?
The wisest thing is to slip away!
"The child obeys!"
Li Zhen did not hesitate, and immediately began to organize manpower, preparing to break out of the encirclement of the enemy army.
But since the other party surrounded them, how could they let them go?
"The enemy will leave!"
The words landed, but he saw Ling Tong rushing forward with a knife, aiming directly at Li Dian!
Li Dian didn't panic, he rode on horseback and started a maneuver with Ling Tong!
The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, but they still didn't win!
However, on the other side, no matter how Li Zhen led people to attack, he could not break through the blockade of the enemy army.
Seeing that his soldiers were suffering heavy casualties under the siege of the enemy, Li Dian couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
He swung his spear, swung away Ling Tong's weapon, and then flicked the reins and went towards Li Zhen's side to support!
With Li Dian joining the battlefield, the pressure on Cao's grain transportation team was greatly reduced.
With his brave fighting, the encirclement of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses has also loosened a little!
Seeing this, Zhou Yu, who was watching the battle from the rear, frowned.
"General Gongfu, General Yigong, let's not show mercy to our subordinates!"
Huang Gai and Han Dang glanced at each other, hugged their fists at Zhou Yu, immediately picked up their weapons, and rushed towards Li Dian!
"The thief will be rampant!"
With Huang Gai and Han Dang joining the battlefield, Li Dian instantly felt a lot of pressure.
Although his martial arts skills are good, he is also quite difficult against Huang Hanling and the others!
