Li Qiu finally handed over the matter of the withdrawal of the army on the water to Zhong Limu to be responsible.

On the one hand, Zhong Limu is the general of the navy, and he is responsible for coordinating the withdrawal of the army by water, which can be regarded as a human thing.

On the other hand, there must always be someone left to block the attack of the Eastern Wu army.

It is impossible for Dongwu to watch these soldiers withdraw to Jiangbei, what their purpose is, Li Qiu is very clear.

Therefore, Li Qiu must stay until the last moment, so that all the soldiers can believe that he will not leave them alone.

As for the way out, Li Qiu is actually not unprepared. In the public security ferry, a lot of grain, grass and ordnance from the public security city are hoarded.

Originally, Li Qiu hoped to have enough time to transport people with grain, grass and ordnance to Jiangbei, leaving nothing for the Eastern Wu Army.

But now, it seems, there is no chance to do so.

Li Qiu's plan was to wait until the last batch of sailors and soldiers were evacuated and boarded the ship, quickly gather the remnants of the soldiers, set fire to the entire public security ferry, and then lead the troops to retreat to the west of the ferry.

If the Eastern Wu army did not pursue, then Li Qiu would rush to the temporary ferry on the other side of the Yidu County River as soon as possible and withdraw his troops from there. If the Eastern Wu Army sent troops to pursue, then Li Qiu would probably only be able to act at the opportunity, and he would not be able to easily expose the temporary withdrawal site.

In any case, in short, it is not lifeless.

And the person who has the same experience as Li Qiu actually has a stone bud.

Zhou Yu led 20,000 Eastern Wu troops to quickly go north to attack Gong'an, but still left Lu Dai and 10,000 Eastern Wu soldiers and soldiers to besiege Lingyang.

At this time, Shi Bao's defenders in Lingyang City were less than 3,000 people.

Defend it, it will definitely not be able to hold it, so Shi Bao can only find a way to organize a breakthrough.

But the current situation is different from before, before the Eastern Wu army chose to surround the three queyi, in order to let the stone bud go, attract the public security defenders to respond, and eliminate it in one fell swoop. Now, the strategy has been launched in advance, and Zhou Yu has led his troops to attack the public security in advance, so it is impossible for the Eastern Wu Army to encircle Lingyang, and it will inevitably be a siege from all sides.

Therefore, the breakthrough direction of Shibud is the key factor related to the success rate of one's breakthrough.

To the north of Lingyang City, Lu Dai is of course the focus of defense, after all, if he breaks through from that direction, Shi Bao may still take advantage of the chaos to escape into the public security ferry and join the public security defenders.

In the east of Lingyang City, Lu Dai also sent additional manpower, for fear that Shi Bao would break through from the east and drill into the hinterland of the four counties of Jingnan, and now it is basically an undefended place, if Shi Bao really lets Shi Bao drill in and wreak havoc, Lu Dai's guilt will not be small.

And to the south of Lingyang City, Lu Dai personally guarded it to prevent Shi Bao, this kid, from being taken by surprise, and the military rations of the main force of the Eastern Wu Army in Jingnan, Wuling County, were hoarded there, and if something went wrong, it would be a big trouble.

As for the west side of Lingyang City, Lu Dai really didn't care much.

Because the west of Lingyang City is a mountain, an endless mountain, even if there are people, it is mostly the territory of Wulingman, even if it breaks through from that direction, even if it can stand out, it is just to burrow into the mountain, or to deal with Wulingman.

Those barbarians are just some people who bully the soft and fear the hard, if Shi Bao drills into the mountains and forests, there is still a glimmer of life, if he breaks into the territory of Wuling Man, and it is probably a defeated army, it will not be long before Lu Dai can get Shi Bao's head from Wuling Man.

Therefore, in fact, Lu Dai is already dead to the stone buds in Lingyang City, and if he wants to break through, there is only one road to the west, but whether he can come out alive or not depends on the destiny of heaven.

Shi Bao also knew that he had no choice in this matter, and the success rate of breaking through from the other three directions would not be very large. The west side, although dangerous, is not without opportunities.

Therefore, Shi Bao decided to lead his 2,800 soldiers to break through from the west of Lingyang City, enter Wuling Mountain, and then find an opportunity to make a detour to the north, also from the temporary ferry in Yidu County, and retreat under the response of Zongpre.

It's just that along the way, whether he can go back alive, Shibao doesn't know.

However, it is better than waiting for death in Zero Yang.

It's not that he Shibao didn't think about surrendering, it's mainly that a bunch of wives are in Jiangling, so many beautiful women like flowers and jade, Shibao is really reluctant.

Shi Bao is a person, although he is lustful, he still has a lot of affection for his wife and concubines, and he is not the kind of person who thinks his wife can be thrown away casually.

Another one, even if he went to Soochow, now he is defeated and surrendered, and the treatment is definitely different from when he was recruited to surrender.

With his reputation, he surrendered to Soochow, and probably had no future.

Of course, it's also the last thought. Shi Bao really didn't feel that it was a matter of life and death to break through to the west and enter the Wuling Mountains.

Since he has taken the initiative to be stationed in Lingyang, it is impossible for Shibao not to understand the situation around Lingyang. Wu Lingman, who is west of Lingyang, actually has a good attitude towards the Han Dynasty.

Of course, that was usual, and now that the situation is poor, how will this Wuling man treat Shi Bao This requires Shi Bao to improvise.

After all, there is one thing, Lu Dai is right - not only Wulingman these days, but any foreign race is bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.

But Shi Bao is still quite confident in his ability to adapt to changes.

In this way, under the condition that Lu Dai was not surprised, Shi Bao abandoned the city and left, went out from the west gate of Lingyang County, broke the intercepted Eastern Wu soldiers, and went to the Wuling Mountain in the west.

Lu Dai did not give the order to chase, and he did not have the time.

After occupying Lingyang, Lü Dai left his son Lü Kai. It is not Ji Han's Jianning Taishou Lu Kai, but Lu Dai's eldest son, I have to say that during the Three Kingdoms period, there were actually many people with the same name and surname.

In short, Lü Dai left his son Lü Kai and 3,000 troops and horses to guard Lingyang to ensure the smooth flow of logistics and grain routes, and after that, Lü Dai led nearly 6,000 soldiers to the public security and joined the general Zhou Yu.

After joining forces with Zhou Yu, Lu Dai told Shi Bao about it, but Zhou Yu didn't care.

Whether Shi Bao died in battle or broke through was not important to Zhou Yu, anyway, he would not be able to return to Jiangling in a short period of time.

And now Zhou Yu is also facing a mess.

The day before Lu Dai led the army to join him, a fire suddenly broke out at the public security ferry.

In this fire, Li Qiu, the public security guard, led 5,000 soldiers to break through from the west of Gong'andu and abandoned Gong'andu.

Zhou Yu was depressed.

It's not that the depressed Li Qiu broke through, but the depressed Li Qiu was so ruthless that he directly burned the good ferry. Don't cross the river, I still want it!!

Zhou Yu's goal is always to lead the army to attack Jiangling, and the public security ferry is also very important to him.

Therefore, Li Qiu's original intention was just to burn the grain and grass and the ferry to create chaos and create conditions for himself to break through, but he mistakenly did something that Zhou Yu must save - fighting the fire and protecting the public security.

Therefore, although Zhou Yu also sent Cheng Zhi to lead his troops to pursue Li Qiu, he told Cheng Zhi not to chase too far, and if the pursuit could not entangle the enemy for twenty miles, he would withdraw his troops and return.

The remaining soldiers will do their best to put out the fire, and they will not let the public security ferry be completely destroyed.

And with the fire at the public security ferry, the two naval armies that were still fighting each other not far from the public security ferry slowly began to divide the winners and losers.

Yang Wei has been dragging out time, desperately trying to block the attack of the Dongwu Naval Army, just to buy time for Li Qiu at the public security ferry to withdraw the army.

But now there is a fire in the direction of the public security ferry, whether it is broken by the Eastern Wu Army, or Li Qiu burned it himself after completing the withdrawal, which means that Yang Qi has completed his task.

At this time, you can withdraw to Jiangling Water Village.

As for the next, whether to defend itself according to Shuizhai or to preserve the strength and withdraw the army from Ba County, this needs to be decided according to the actual situation.

But in any case, the first thing to do is to get out of contact with the Eastern Wu Naval Army, and we can't continue to fight.

Yang Wei wanted to do this, but Zhu Ran definitely didn't agree.

Now that the turtle formation has been broken, it looks like it is about to completely defeat the Gangneung Water Army. If this naval army is allowed to withdraw, it will inevitably be a big trouble in the future.

Therefore, Zhu Ran chased after him, resolutely biting the remaining Jiangling naval army and continuing to fight.

In this way, the sheep is really uncomfortable.

The combat strength of the navy army is not as good as that of the Eastern Wu army, and the strength of the naval army is not as good as that of the Eastern Wu army.

At this point, it's time for the sheep to make a decision.

Yang Wei didn't hesitate too much, and directly ordered the division of troops.

Wen Dai led the remaining 7,000 Jiangling naval troops to withdraw to Shuizhai as soon as possible to deploy defenses.

And Yang Wei himself, led a Mengchong battleship, more than 40 warships, with a total of less than 5,000 troops, left behind to break the rear.

Wen Dai was shocked. No matter how you look at it, it should be that he, a military general and general, should stay behind and leave, and the commander of the sheep will lead the troops to withdraw first, right?!

But Yang Wei just smiled slightly, and then told Wen Dai.

He wants to set a rule for the Jiangling Navy today--for the army's courage, before the battle, after returning to the army, this army will not move.

This is the first iron law of the Gangneung Navy Well, there was no such iron law before, but from today, there is!!
