Chapter 136: Arrow
The decisive battle under Gangneung Fortress is over.
No one can tell the outcome of the superficial results.
Because Zhou Yu's handsome banner fell to the ground, Cao Ren therefore said that his cavalry killed Zhou Yu, so he won the victory, and publicized it in Jiangling City to boost morale.
However, the people of the Sun-Liu coalition said that it was Cao Ren who was killed and returned to Jiangling City, so it should be the Sun-Liu coalition army that won in the end.
In fact, in this decisive battle, Cao Ren suffered a big loss.
The reason is very simple, Cao Ren has few soldiers, he can't afford to lose, and if the losses are heavy, he can't defend the city.
And Zhou Yu had a lot of soldiers, and the casualties he paid for the siege of the city were actually about the same as the casualties paid in the field.
In the end, Cao Ren didn't want to suffer too many casualties, so he took the initiative to withdraw his troops, arranged for people to break off, and then led his troops to retreat into Jiangling City, and the Sun-Liu coalition army did not dare to chase after him.
Once Cao Ren withdrew, it meant that the battle was over, and if the Sun-Liu coalition army chased after him, the Cao army defenders at the head of Jiangling City could shoot arrows.
Again, Sun Liu Lianjun didn't have the heart to chase after it, the key was Zhou Yu's handsome flag, which fell down and stood up, what kind of thing is this? !
Is there something wrong with Zhou Dudu, I have to go back and see if there is something wrong with it.
So, the battle came to an end after both sides had paid thousands of casualties.
When the generals of the Jiangdong Army returned to the camp of the Chinese army and saw Zhou Yu, they were also shocked.
Zhou Yu was lying on the bed in the Zhongjun tent, with a large piece of linen wrapped around his chest, and blood was still oozing out of the linen.
Obviously, Zhou Yu was injured, and the injury was not light.
A group of people immediately surrounded Zhou Yu's bed, asking questions and asking questions, which was so noisy that Zhang Xi's head was big, not to mention Zhou Yu, who was now weak.
"Gentlemen, the governor is injured and needs to recuperate, look at you"
didn't say half of the words, these Dongwu generals didn't quarrel, and looked at Zhang Xi with a brush.
Zhang Xi was stunned for a moment, and was stared at by five or six big men, and he was really a little uncomfortable for a while.
But Zhang Xi still tried to stare back.
We lost to the second master in momentum, that is because the second master is his own person, in the face of these Jiangdong generals, we are afraid of a fart!!
Besides. Aren't the three generals there?
Sure enough, Zhang Xi didn't react yet, Zhang Fei was already standing in front of Zhang Xi, staring at the Jiangdong generals.
In the end, it is still the third master who is powerful, and the generals of Jiangdong are imposing.
Zhou Yu also found an opportunity to speak at this time.
"The generals are calm and don't be impatient, Yu is fine." Zhou Yu bracked himself up, wanting to sit up and speak.
Soon, he was supported by the Jiangdong generals and lay down again.
"Governor, why did you come to this?!" Lu Meng couldn't help it, and asked a question on behalf of the generals of the Jiangdong Army.
When Zhou Yu heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "This is all careless for a while, and he was accidentally lost by it. If there is no chief, this time I am afraid of failure. ”
Then, Zhou Yu told what happened to him.
Originally, Zhou Yu had already withdrawn to the chariot formation that Zhang Xi had answered, and was directing Zhang Xi's soldiers to block the approach of Cao's cavalry as much as possible, and to receive the soldiers who had withdrawn with him.
But because of Zhou Yu's handsome flag, it is too big and too conspicuous.
After retreating into the car formation, the cavalry of the Cao army could not see where Zhou Yu was for the time being, but Zhou Yu's handsome flag was erected there, and the cavalry of the Cao army was also helpless, so they could only launch a charge and cavalry shooting in the direction of the handsome banner.
Under the rain of arrows, Zhou Yu was protected by Zhang Xi quite well, but the flag soldier fell down with an arrow.
Now Zhou Yu hurriedly withdrew to Zhang Xi's car formation, and the infantry and even the bow and crossbow equipment that followed him were abandoned, who could have so much thought to take care of the flag bearers.
Zhou Yu's handsome flag was not supported by the flag bearer, and he suddenly fell to the ground.
Zhou Yu saw that this would not work, if his handsome flag fell to the ground, it would have a fatal impact on the battle ahead. Zhou Yu hurriedly gathered people, held a shield, and went to hold up the handsome flag under the rain of arrows.
It's okay to come here, Zhou Yu wants to support the handsome flag or something, just give an order and let those soldiers help.
But Zhou Yu didn't know what to think, he actually took a shield himself, beckoned two or three personal guards, and planned to personally go to support the handsome banner.
Then, an arrow that flew from nowhere hit Zhou Yu's ribs so impartially.
At this time, Zhang Xi was busy dealing with the charging of Cao's cavalry, and he didn't notice Zhou Yu's actions at all, and when he found out, Zhou Yu had already been hit by an arrow.
Fortunately, in order to deal with today's decisive battle, Zhou Yu came wearing chain mail, so although he was hit by the arrow, Zhou Yu didn't seem to be affected much, and insisted on putting up the handsome flag.
Zhang Xi saw that this was okay, so he hurriedly beckoned the soldiers around him, took the shield, and went to pick up Zhou Yu and Shuai Qi back, and then hurriedly asked Zhou Yu about his injuries.
Zhou Yu wanted to say that he was fine, but. Blood flowed down the armor.
Zhang Xi was suddenly anxious.
Zhou Yu can die at any time, but he must not die at this time, let alone die in his army. It's hard to tell.
And this Zhou Yu too, when he came out for a decisive battle, he didn't even have a military doctor with the army, and now he is injured, what should he do? !
Fortunately, Zhou Yu was also a person who was accustomed to fighting, so he swung his sword to cut off the arrow shaft, tore a strip of cloth from the flag, wrapped it around the wound a few times, and then continued to command the battle without thinking.
Zhang Xi's eyes jumped at that time.
Good guy, ruthless enough, and not dirty enough, you will definitely die of wound infection in the future.
But in the current battlefield conditions, Zhang Xi really can't think of a better way to deal with it, so he can only respond like this first, and wait until the cavalry attack is repulsed.
Fortunately, the battle in front ended in time, and the cavalry of the Cao army saw that their army had retreated into the city, and the Sun-Liu coalition army had returned to help, so they immediately withdrew and went back to the city by detouring to the south gate.
As soon as Zhang Xi saw the cavalry retreating, he didn't care whether Zhou Yu was against it or not, he directly dismantled the car formation, let Zhou Yu lie directly on the van, and personally led people to quickly transport them back to the South Gate camp to find a military doctor for treatment.
When the Jiangdong generals settled the troops and came to Zhou Yuzhong's military tent, it was the time when the military doctor helped Zhou Yu take out the arrow, apply the herbs, and tell him to recuperate in peace.
Zhou Yu's weakness was entirely due to the excessive blood loss caused by the insistence on commanding the battle after being injured, coupled with the excessive blood loss caused by the wound when the arrow was taken.
After listening to Zhou Yu's narration, several Jiangdong Army Jiangling finally understood the ins and outs, and breathed a sigh of relief at the moment.
The generals present have experienced arrow wounds to some extent, some of them will be very serious, and some of them will be a matter of recuperation for a few months.
And seeing that Zhou Yu can still speak now, this shows that the injury is not serious, and he was sent to the hospital for treatment in a very timely manner. I heard that Zhang Xi sent someone to send him back to the camp urgently, and immediately changed their faces one by one and thanked Zhang Xi.
Zhang Xi also agreed one by one, and then planned to return to the camp. As long as Zhou Yu doesn't die in my camp, we can say anything.
But Zhou Yu stopped him.
"Yuan is long and slow!" Zhou Yu stopped Zhang Xi, struggled to sit up, and said, "This time I was injured by an arrow, and if I want to come to Cao Ren sooner or later, I will lead my troops to rob the camp to find out the truth."
Well?!
Wait. Why does this sound familiar?!
Is it possible to take the romance line again?!
Zhou Yu set up an ambush to defeat Cao Ren, and then prepared to attack Jiangling City to anger Zhou Yu, right?!
That's not good, my general Zhao Yun is still in Guiyang as a guard, I can't sneak attack Jiangling, and I can't be angry with you.
"Yu asked Yuan Chang to preside over the affairs of the Chinese army on his behalf, so that Cao Ren did not dare to peep at our army, and after two or three days, Yu had his own strategy to retreat from the enemy!" Zhou Yu continued.
Well. It doesn't seem right.
This doesn't seem to mean to set up an ambush, but to retreat from the enemy?!
Also, why do you want me to act as your agent for the affairs of the Chinese army, Ling Tong and Lu Meng?!
Didn't you see what kind of eyes Ling Tong Lu Meng looked at me after you just said this?!
"There are good generals in the general's army, why do you want to act as an agent for military affairs?!" Zhang Xi hurriedly asked, and by the way, he glanced at Ling Tong and Lu Meng, and reminded Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu smiled reluctantly and said, "Ling, the two generals Lu, Yu has other arrangements, don't worry." ”
Zhang Xi looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously, and always felt that what was sold in this gourd was not a good medicine.
But Zhou Yu's prestige is extremely high at this time, as soon as he said this, even Lingtong Lu Meng didn't look at Zhang Xi, what could Zhang Xi say, he could only agree first.
Anyway, it's just two or three days of agency, and this little thing is still difficult for Zhang Xi.
The next day, Zhang Xi took office and gathered the generals, but all the generals of the Jiangdong Army were late.
Zhang Xi was immediately furious, and he wanted to enforce it according to military law, and those who failed to do so would be beheaded.
Then he was ridiculed by the Jiangdong generals with a strange yin and yang, saying what "Huangkou Xiaoer, how can he dare to act as the governor?!" ”
Zhang Xi was so angry that he directly picked up the military stick with his own hands and beat Lu Meng's chaotic staff out of the barracks to set an example.
The next day, Ling Tong contradicted Zhang Fei a few words because of Lu Meng's matter, Zhang Xi immediately reprimanded, and then appointed Zhang Fei as the former governor and confiscated Ling Tong's military power.
By the third day. Cao Ren is here.
The infighting that occurred during this period of time in the Sun-Liu coalition army had already been passed on to Cao Ren.
Cao Ren felt that this was Zhou Lang's trap.
How can there be such a fast, there will be a conflict in two or three days, and then Liu Beijun on the weak side can still seize the military power of the general of the Jiangdong Army?!
You have to find a suitable excuse and reason to deceive children.
Originally, Cao Ren really didn't want to come, but along with the news of these infighting, there was another news that reached Cao Ren's ears.
Zhou Yu was hit by an arrow and suffered a sore, and his injuries were serious, and he was no longer able to serve as a director.
Regarding this news, Cao Ren still wants to find out.
If Zhou Yu is really seriously injured, then Cao Ren must find a way to organize the soldiers to go out of the city to fight, and kill a few battles when the opponent's commander is critically ill and unable to command, and his morale is low, not to mention retreating from the enemy, at least it is good to kill and injure the besieging army.
But if Zhou Yu is pretending, then Cao Ren is still honestly squatting in Jiangling City, waiting for Cao Cao to send someone to solve Guan Yu, and then send troops to rescue.
In several battles, Cao Ren has injured nearly 10,000 people, and now there are more than 13,000 soldiers left to fight, and these people are a little overstretched to defend Jiangling City.
If it was not certain that Zhou Yu was really critically ill, Cao Ren would not dare to go out of the city to fight again.
So, Cao Ren, who was not fighting in the Sun-Liu coalition army, didn't believe it at all, but Cao Ren still planned to sneak attack the south gate camp of the Jiangdong Army at night, fight and leave, and try to see if Zhou Yu was really critically ill.
Then Cao Ren was at the gate of the camp of the Sun-Liu coalition army, and saw Zhou Yu, who was dressed all over his body, full of spirit, and did not look injured at all.
And two teams of soldiers were also killed on both sides of him, one led by Ling Tong, and the other commanded by Lu Meng.
Yes, Cao Ren knew that he had been fooled again. Fortunately, this time he was also prepared, and while retreating, he sent a signal for the defenders in Gangneung City to respond.
In the end, Cao Ren paid the price of hundreds of casualties and returned to Gangneung City safely.
