"Kill!!"

Shi Ji put on his armor, shouted angrily, and rushed out with the army.

Cao Jun in the distance suddenly got out of the way, and he had a tacit understanding, as if he didn't want to be their enemy at all.

Shi Ji gritted his teeth, his eyes full of grief.

But he did not hesitate, led the army to continue to charge, quickly broke through the siege, and rushed out of the encirclement of Wang Ji's army.

On the high platform in the distance, Wang Ji stared at the Shi Ji army in the distance, watching them break through their own defense line, but there was no ripple on his face.

Shi Ji took the initiative to give up Gangneung.

There were their warships on the water to meet them, and they were ready to retreat to Lexiang.

Lexiang is just across from Gangneung, with a river in between.

Wang Ji's style of play is so disgusting, he knows that he is jumping into his trap, but he still has to jump.

Gangneung is almost unable to hold on.

If Shi Ji dies in Jiangling, then the entire Jingzhou will lose its commander, and even the entire Wu State will lose its commander!

There is no commander in the current Wu Kingdom!

Lu Kang is still very young now, even if the emperor of Wu has the insight to promote him, the generals everywhere may not obey him.

Barely qualified is the veteran Ding Feng, but Ding Feng has always led an army alone and has no experience in commanding multiple armies.

Shi Ji knew that he couldn't afford to go on, and he was forced to have no choice but to abandon Jiangling and retreat to Lexiang, giving full play to his naval advantages, re-establishing contact with various places, and repelling the enemy's offensive.

And this is what Wang Ji wants, Wang Ji stormed Jiangling, paid a lot of price, his army is limited, and it is still on the offensive side, he does not want to consume his soldiers in the offensive and defensive battles, his strategy was originally to recapture Jiangling, Xiling, Xiakou and other Jiangbei areas.

Shi Ji took the initiative to retreat, then he could get Jiangling without paying too much price, which would be beneficial for him to take down Xiling and Xiakou in the future.

As Shi Ji retreated with his army through warships, Jiangling suddenly fell into the hands of Wang Ji.

Wang Ji was indescribably excited in his heart.

Although it is only a city, this city is related to the Jiangbei defense line of Wu State, and it is the absolute core of Wu State's Jiangbei defense line.

After taking here, Wu's Jiangbei defense line was directly torn up by Wang Ji, and no matter how powerful Wu's naval army was, it could no longer recapture Jiangling from him.

When the head of Jiangling was replaced with Cao Wei's banner, the soldiers of the whole army couldn't help but shout.

With a smile on his face, Wang Ji decided to reward his army slightly.

And Shi Ji was sitting on the warship at the moment, listening to the shouts from afar, and his soul was lost.

Jiangling was just lost, so what should Xiling do?

With his current strength, there is no way to continue to fight with Wang Ji, and even Wang Ji is still receiving all kinds of supplies and reinforcements.

Their strength is still growing.

Shi Ji frowned and began to ponder.

He must hold the rest of the area, and he cannot lose all the Jiangbei defense lines.

The first is Xiling, after the loss of Jiangling, the situation here will become extremely dangerous, and if you want to hold there, you must get the help of Shu, if the army of Shu can be stationed not far from Xiling, and Xiling is a horn for each other, so that Cao Wei's army can not attack the city with peace of mind, then there is still hope of defending.

Moreover, when he is in Lexiang, he can also gather the army of Nanjun to rescue Xiling by water.

As for the direction of Xiakou, with Ding Feng here, Shi Ji is not worried, it is best to get Jianye's help, and let Jianye send a large army to attack Xiakou and subdue Xiakou.

If this strategy can be achieved, it is to encircle Gangneung with a large army on three sides, and Wang Ji is afraid that he will withdraw his troops.

It's just that it's not easy to accomplish this strategy.

That Wang Ji probably knew what he wanted to do

At this moment, in Jiangling City, Wang Ji was sitting in the county guard's mansion and seriously explained to the generals under his command.

"Shi Ji's retreat this time is to retain his strength and attack us on three sides."

"Therefore, we have to fight quickly, now that Jiangling has been taken, Shi Ji will not be able to send troops to counterattack in a short period of time, so we must take Xiling non-stop."

"There are not many defenders in Xiling, but they are too close to Shu."

Wang Ji analyzed: "Yan Yu of Shu State, I heard that he sent troops to help Wu State, but his army is very small, and he has been rushing at the slowest speed these days, which is to wait and see the situation. ”

"If we want to attack Xiling, then Yan Yu will definitely come to harass us."

"Therefore, I decided to bypass Xiling first, storm Yan Yu with an elite army, and make a posture of continuing to attack Yong'an, which will definitely make Shu not dare to meddle in Jingzhou's affairs again."

"When you defeat Yan Yu, you can turn around and take Xiling."

"If these two cities fall into our hands, we can gather a large army, take Ding Feng directly, defeat Ding Feng, and the entire Jiangbei will fall into our hands."

"The reinforcements from the temple are constantly coming, General Zhendong and General Che Cai have already sent more troops, and even the Chinese army has a few battalions to come, when the time comes, we will hold these three cities, so that the enemy cannot take them"

Listening to Wang Ji's strategy, Jiang Ban couldn't help it.

"General, now that the advantage is in our hands, why don't we just take the entire Jingnan region? Jingnan cannot withstand the chaos of war, as long as our army arrives, they will definitely surrender. ”

"If we can take Jingnan, then Jiaozhou will be even more undefended, and it will be easy to take down there, and in the end, we can directly destroy Wu with a water army."

The more Jiang Ban spoke, the more excited he became.

Wang Ji was very calm.

"In today's world, it is my Great Wei who has the advantage, if it lasts for a long time, it is the Great Wei that is getting stronger and stronger, and Shu Wu is getting weaker and weaker."

"In this case, it is Shu and Wu that should be anxious, not us."

"We only need to follow the steps step by step, we can destroy the Shu Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom, and complete the feat of unifying the world, why are we so anxious? If you are in a hurry to attack them and want to destroy the state of Wu because of this, then you may not even be able to hold on to the current results. ”

Jiang Ban didn't quite understand Wang Ji's words, but he didn't dare to refute them.

Wang Ji immediately issued an order, asking Wen Yang and Ma Long to lead the army to the west, bypassing Xiling, and directly attacking Yan Yu.

If it is to attack Xiling, Yan Yu will definitely make a move, but if Yan Yu is attacked, the defenders of Xiling will not dare to come out, not because of the incompetence of the generals of Wu State, but because the original commander of Xiling, Liuxian, was killed by Wen Yang.

And he himself was to gather troops to defend against Ding Feng.

When Ma Long and Wen Yang arrived in Xiling, the local defenders were in chaos and hurriedly began to prepare to meet Cao Wei, and as a result, this army passed by them.

Seeing this scene, the defenders were also dumbfounded.

What does that mean??

But they never dared to send people to investigate, there were only a few thousand people in their city, so they could only retreat in the city to defend with all their might.

This elite Chinese army soon encountered Yan Yu halfway.

At this moment, Yan Yu was stunned, he didn't understand why he could meet Cao Wei's army here, fortunately, Yan Yu was not an incompetent person, and quickly adjusted his mentality, and the two sides fought.

Ma Long commanded properly, with the help of favorable terrain, forced Yan Yu to constantly adjust the formation, and Wen Yang became a fast knife in Ma Long's hand, pointing where to fight, Yan Yu was miserable.

With the cooperation of the two, Yan Yu is not their opponent at all, although these two people have not reached their peak, but when the two of them join forces, it is not something that ordinary generals can bear.

Especially Wen Yang, after Guan Yu's death, who has ever seen such a ruthless man who can behead the opponent's general, seeing him leading a cavalry to rush to the general's banner, Yan Yu was scared out of a cold sweat.

Yan Yu immediately decided to evacuate, he kept retreating, and after leaving people behind, he began to retreat in the direction of Yong'an, and at the same time informed that there was a way for them to be ready to respond.

But these two people had no intention of going back at all, and chased and killed them all the way.

Yan Yu felt that there might be some problems with the intelligence.

These people don't want to destroy Wu, they want to destroy Shu, right?!

When his news reached Yong'an, and then to Chengdu, it made Chengdu even more jumpy, and hurriedly began to give Jiang Wei an order, so that he was ready to go to the south to resist the main force of the Cao thief.

After repelling the small army of Shu, Ma Long and Wen Yang suddenly turned back, but this time, their target was Xiling.

When Jiang Ban, Ma Longwenyang and others began to besiege Xiling from both sides, Xiling could not hold on at all, morale was low, and there was no main general, but within three days, Xiling was lost.

Both Xiling and Gangneung fell into the hands of Wang Ji, who began to gather troops from all over the country and march in the direction of Ding Feng with an absolute main force.

At this moment, Ding Feng was sweating.

He knew Wang Ji's intentions, but he could only choose to retreat to Baqiu.

With the number and morale of Ding Feng's current army, he simply couldn't fight an enemy four times his number!

They even have to fight in the wilderness, and if they don't leave, they will die here.

After Ding Feng withdrew his troops, Wang Ji smoothly joined forces with Sun En and others in Xiakou.

Wang Ji also took advantage of the situation to receive the troops of Wu under his command.

This also means that the Jiangbei defense line, which Wu has operated for many years, completely fell into the hands of Cao Wei.

When the news reached Jianye, Emperor Sun Xiu, who had just been overjoyed by pacifying the ministers, only felt that the sky was dark and fell headlong.

Before Shi Ji's strategy could be implemented, it was crushed by Wang Ji.

As Du Pre said, in this case, it is useless for the Marquis of Huaiyin to come, there is no fighting spirit from top to bottom, the generals take the lead in surrendering, how much role can Shi Ji play alone?

After getting the strategic goal, although he still had a lot of strength, Wang Ji did not choose to continue the attack, he began to build city defenses, stabilize the exchanges between various places, and stabilize his logistics supplies.

Steady as an old dog!!
