Chapter 20: Covering Cao Cao's Retreat

At this time, Zhuge Liang led the army to attack from the flank.

The warship rushed towards Cao Cao's warship with an unstoppable momentum.

At this time, Zhang Liao also came to Cao Cao's side in a panic.

"Lord, over there, Zhuge Liang is here!"

"What!"

Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly turned his head to look.

At this time, there were more than sixty warships beside him, and there were about a hundred warships brought by Zhuge Liang.

"My lord, what should we do?" Zhang Liao asked anxiously.

"What to do? What else can I do? Escape! ”

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said.

"Lord, let's go!"

Listening to Zhang Liao's words, Cao Cao's expression became gloomy again, and a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.

Although his subordinates are brave and good at fighting, they can't resist several times the opponent's troops, and there is no chance of winning this battle at all!

"Let's go!"

He took a deep breath, waved his hand to the generals beside him, and headed for a warship.

Looking at Cao Cao's departing back, Zhou Yu also smiled a little.

Then he shouted, "Give the order to go down and let all the defenders on the tower retreat!" ”

"No!"

The defenders on the tower agreed one after another.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Immediately afterwards, the defenders retreated to the city gate, opened the city gate, and immediately began to retreat.

"Kill!"

"Keep up!"

Seeing this, the Wu army under the city wall chased after them, wanting to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a spear flew and slammed into the ranks of the Wu army, nailing the head of a soldier to the city wall, and then the Wu army stopped and did not dare to move forward.

"Look, there's an enemy attack!"

"Quick, protect the lord and retreat!"

The defenders on the city tower also saw the picture of the sneak attack on the Wu soldiers, and their faces became ugly, and they couldn't help shouting.

"Whoosh!"

Another arrow whistled towards the Wu army.

"Whoosh!"

"Ahh

The Wu soldiers screamed miserably, were pierced by arrows, and fell to the ground on their stomachs.

Immediately afterwards, another bow and arrow flew again, and another Wu soldier was pierced through his body by the arrow, and his body fell limply.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall finally panicked, and their faces turned pale one by one.

"Governor, go!"

At this time, beside Zhou Yu, a deputy general shouted, and ran towards the city gate with Zhou Yu.

At the gate of the city, some soldiers were already waiting to block the city gate.

"Shoot me these rebels!" Zhou Yu shouted.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of dense arrows breaking through the sky suddenly sounded at the gate of the city, and they flew towards the outside of the city.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Arrows flew out of the city.

"Boom!"

Outside the city, Wu's warship was hit by a dense barrage of arrows and exploded.

"Ahh Help me! Help me! ”

Wu Jun suddenly made a mess, and some of the timid ones even fell unconscious in fright, and sat on the ground one by one, trembling.

"Governor, go!"

One of the soldiers shouted.

"Quick, retreat!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and hurriedly led his soldiers to run out of the city.

At this time, the crossbowmen in the city also began to shoot, and some soldiers hiding outside the city suddenly died tragically under the city.

Zhou Yu retreated in a hurry with a group of generals, but under the attack of arrows, there were still many casualties.

Under the cover of a rain of arrows, Cao Cao successfully retreated and retreated to the Lujiang River.

Lujiang City, the head of the city.

Looking at the scattered Wu army, Cao Cao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes showed a solemn expression, and he muttered to himself: "Fortunately, Zhou Yu is knowledgeable, otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out!" ”

Zhang Liao, who was beside Cao Cao, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Yes! It was really too dangerous just now, if it wasn't for the lord's decisive escape, I'm afraid he would have died here a long time ago! ”

"Alas! It's a pity that our people didn't even manage to kill Zhou Yu! ”

Cao Cao's face showed a look of regret.

When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Lord, the person who released the arrow this time ...... It is not clear who it is. ”

"Huh?"

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Liao suspiciously, and asked, "Do you know the soldier who attacked me just now?" ”

"My subordinates don't know." Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "However, my subordinates feel that this person is very familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere!" ”

"Oh?"

Cao Cao frowned slightly, thinking carefully, but still didn't have any clue.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he remembered something in a trance, looked at Zhang Liao in horror, and asked, "Could it be...... He! ”

"Who is it?"

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, then his face changed and he asked.

Cao Cao did not answer, but looked at the soldiers around him and shouted, "Gather everyone together, quick!" ”

"No!"

The soldiers nodded their heads and quickly left, gathering all the other soldiers in the city.

A moment later, the walls were filled with soldiers, five or six thousand men, all of them in good spirits, in strong figures, and all of them murderous.

When Cao Cao saw these soldiers, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Very good!" Very good! Unexpectedly, you found a group of elite troops! ”

Cao Cao looked at these sturdy soldiers in front of him and couldn't help but show an excited expression.

These soldiers are all elites recruited by him on his own journey, and after years of training, each of them is a division of tigers and wolves.

I think it was these people who saved them by throwing arrows, but if they wanted to order these people, only Cao Xuan should be the only one.

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh and said, "No matter what, there is always no danger!" Now, adjust and prepare for the next attack. ”

"No!"

A group of generals agreed with their fists clenched.

Immediately, Cao Cao gave the order and began the repair.

……

Soochow, Jiangxia.

Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang stood on the city wall, looking at the arrows stuck in the ground, and they both frowned.

Zhou Yu

Zhou Yu

"Zhou Yu, who do you think shot these arrows?"

"This ......"

Zhou Yu hesitated for a while, and finally sighed and said, "I don't know who it is!" If it weren't for these people, Cao Cao wouldn't have been able to escape! ”

"Hmm!" Zhuge Liang also nodded approvingly, looked at Zhou Yu, and said, "Zhou Yu, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple!" We need to be precautionary! ”

"Hmm!" Zhuge Liang nodded approvingly.

The two were silent for a while, and Zhuge Liang said: "Zhou Yu, why don't we go to Cao Cao to find out the truth!" ”

"Good! The plan can be carried out. ”

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Governor! Governor! Big things are wrong! ”

Just then, a scout hurried from a distance.

"What's the matter?"

Zhou Yu hurriedly shouted.
