Chapter 94 Reflections
The night was dark, and Pengze City, which was lying quietly in the wilderness, had no sound of joy except for a little fire swaying on the city wall. Sun Quan stood on the deck of the flagship, looking at the vague city, and his heart was cold.
Broke two formations in a row, killed three generals in a row, killed and wounded several people, and the general Huang Gai died, Zhao Yun's kind of heavenly and human might made the Jiangdong generals very frightened, and even the voice of the words was a little smaller. Later, Zhao Yun and Huo Du led the army to retreat into the city, and the Jiangdong generals symbolically waved their troops to pursue, and dealt with the matter, how dare they confront the evil star again.
Reining in the defeated army that had fled, the generals abandoned the fortifications they had set up yesterday and moved to camp on the riverbank. Sun Quan, who was frightened by Yun's anger, also complied with everyone's wishes and moved the base camp to the flagship to prevent the group of fanatics in the city from carrying out any night attacks.
If you don't take precautions, Sun Quan and Zhang Hong also came to their senses. Where Zhao Yun was transferred, he led his cavalry to stay on the top of the mighty mountain; Huo Jun had no intention of surrendering, and ordered eight hundred elites to ambush behind the door wall. Obviously, Huo Jun set up a game for them this morning, and it is estimated that even Qin Song was used to fake the battle report.
Everyone had a venting point, and asked Qin Song to be dealt with strictly on the spot. The angry generals in front of Sun Quan also pushed the boat down the river to ask Qin Song for his guilt. No matter how Qin Song shouted grievances, it was useless, and he became a scapegoat like this.
Is Qin Song the first person responsible? Of course not, he was just dismounted from the donkey by Huo Jun, taking the opportunity to fool him and pass on false information. And who is really responsible, there is no doubt that it must be Sun Quan.
Does Sun Quan understand?
Of course I do.
Sun Quanchang, who was standing on the deck, sighed, he missed his brother Sun Ce. If his brother Sun Ce was in charge of the army, why would it be like this. It is estimated that when Zhao Yun rushed to kill the enemy's formation, he led his cavalry to repel Zhao Yun, how could such a tragic situation occur.
Ling Tong and his more than 300 troops, as the first batch of troops to withstand the cavalry front, the loss ratio reached 3/4, and only fifty or sixty people remained. Ling Tong had a deep scar on his face, and if he hadn't dodged it with his agile skills, he might not even have his life.
Song Qian and Zhang Yi were killed and wounded, and Song Qian's troops suffered many impacts from Zhao Yun's cavalry, and nearly half of the defeated soldiers were lost. The flank of Zhang Yi's department was broken, and he was driven into battle by the cavalry, and the losses were the most heavi, and there were only two or three hundred people left in the thousands.
The loss of Huang Gai's department was not large, but Huang Gai's death was bad news for Sun Quan. Huang Gai Lishi Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan were three terms. He is a serious man, good at training soldiers, and his troops are brave and good at fighting every time, and they are all pioneers.
The death of this kind of core general is undoubtedly a painful blow to Sun Quan. If the soldiers are gone, they can be recruited, but if the loyal generals are gone, who can the soldiers and horses be handed over!
Just when Sun Quan sighed worriedly, Zhang Hong came looking for an opportunity and comforted him: "Victory or defeat under his command is a common thing for soldiers. Today, the main force of 10,000 soldiers and horses still exists, and if the morale of the army is revived, it may not be impossible to fight. ”
Zhang Hong also understands Sun Quan as a person, Sun Quan has great ambitions, and often tries to emulate his brother Sun Ce, but he can't get the essence. Sun Ce's own military strength is superior and his military ability is outstanding. And Sun Quan is often virtuous and harmonious. If it is forcibly imitated, I am afraid that it will backfire.
Sun Quan pounded the railing of the ship quite angrily and said: "The enemy is cunning today, and the enemy was defeated by him for a while. In the east, what if you want to lead an army to attack the city tomorrow? ”
Zhang Hong stopped Sun Quan and said, "Your subordinates will be angry for the time being." It is a taboo for the Lord to raise troops out of anger. Huo Jun and Zhao Yun are not unscrupulous, and the current war shows the ability of the two of them. Huo Jun is known for his strategy, and Zhao Yun is brave and invincible, which cannot be taken lightly. ”
Zhang Hong held Sun Quan's arm and said patiently: "Your command, don't forget Sun's dying words." ”
Hearing this, Sun Quan is also a young man, and his anger comes and goes quickly, so he exhaled a long breath, adjusted his mentality, and asked: "What the east said is reasonable, but looking at the current situation, how does the east think it should be done?" ”
Zhang Hong stroked his beard and said: "Under the command of Qi Yu, the enemy is fierce, the army is dead, and the army is unstable. If it is really the next policy to storm the city today, it is better to build fortifications and build siege equipment in the opinion of Hong, and wait for Gongjin to lead the troops to arrive, and Sun Lujiang will give the troops to. ”
Sun Lujiang, Sun He is also. After Sun Quan broke the Lujiang River, he appointed his clansman Sun He to worship the general of Weikou Zhonglang and lead the Lujiang River to guard. Sun He garrisoned Jiangbei to defend against Cao Cao in the Central Plains, and rarely mobilized his troops and horses. However, today's defeat had to be mobilized.
As for Zhou Yu, he gathered soldiers and horses in Wu County, and Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Sun Jiao, Quan Cong and others will rush to Wu County, and they will arrive in a few days.
"Wait for Gong Jin?" Sun Quan pondered for a while and asked, "Does the east think that Gongjin can take on a big responsibility?" ”
Zhang Hong smiled softly and said: "When it was difficult for his subordinates to succeed to the throne, Gong Jin led his troops and horses to Wu County to support his subordinates; When Cao Cao borrowed the official to cross the army, Gong Jin declared his righteousness and persuaded his subordinates not to send protons. So how can Gongjin not take on a big responsibility! ”
After a pause, Zhang Hong said: "Gong Jin is a talented man, a civil and military strategy, and he has a general angle with Sun to fight against him, and he is divided into flesh and blood. If you want to break Peng Ze today, it is better to listen to Gongjin's opinion! ”
Sun Quan bowed slightly, and said: "In this case, I ordered the whole army to build a barracks, build siege equipment, and wait for Gongjin's soldiers and horses to arrive." ”
Saying that, Sun Quan sneered and said, "At that time, the army will gather, and under the siege, let's see how long Huo Jun and Zhao Yun can hold on?" ”
"Hmm!"
……
In the city, Huo Jun, who had finished celebrating with the soldiers, lay on the desk to record the gains and losses of this battle for reference.
Today's battle was quite beautiful, but in Huo Jun's eyes, there was something to regret. He was still conservative in this battle, and before preparing for this battle, Huo Jun only arranged two troops and horses, Huo Du and Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun led two hundred cavalry, and his performance exceeded his imagination. He cooperated with Huo Du's foot soldiers, rushed into the battle, and shot Huang Gai. If Huo Jun still had a soldier and horse to dispatch at that time, he could completely help them stop Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's two divisions, and wait for Zhao Yun and Huo Du to defeat Huang Gai's army formation.
If Huang Gai's army is broken, Huo Du and Zhao Yun can rush into the Chinese army and pose a threat to Sun Quan of the Chinese army again. Sun Quan lacked soldiers and horses, and his troops must go. Once he moves the Great Silk, the entire army will be defeated.
And this is also what Huo Jun regrets, if he is bold before the battle, maybe this battle may become a rout. If I missed this opportunity, I am afraid that I will not have a chance in the future.
Zhou Yu?
Huo Jun put his pen on the desk and spat out a turbid breath. If Zhou Yu comes, what strategy will he use to defeat him!
