Chapter 519: Breaking Soochow
"The main camp was burned?"
"What's going on? Gone out of the water? ”
"Retreat! We've been cut off! ”
The camp on the east bank suddenly caught fire, which made the Wu army, who was still fighting bloody at the head of the public security city, panic. Most of the soldiers' first reaction after seeing the fire was to retreat, and they instantly lost the courage to continue fighting.
After all, the confidence that they can continue to fight here is that they are the dominant side. Even if it is defeated, it can quickly withdraw to the east bank and continue to hold on.
But now, their confidence, the main camp on the east coast suddenly caught fire. Whether it is a water or a Shu army touching it, this is enough to make the entire Wu army lose the idea of fighting.
At the same time, Sun Quan also noticed that something was wrong. He suddenly turned to look at the east bank, and then he was frightened by the sky-high fire.
What is the situation? Why did all the tents on the East Coast catch fire so quickly? Didn't I leave Zhou Yin in charge?
"Supreme! The main camp is on fire! Looking at this fire, it is definitely not a water, there is a high probability that the Shu army touched it and deliberately set it on fire! At this time, Lu Dai rushed over in a panic and hurriedly reported to Sun Quanyu.
"The morale of the officers and soldiers of the various departments has now been frustrated, and many soldiers have begun to retreat without authorization! The Supreme should withdraw first, and if you don't leave, I'm afraid that we will encounter a counterattack from the Shu army! ”
"What are you afraid of! Hold on to Lonely! Sun Quan may not have a good brain at the moment, so he waved his hand directly.
"Ordered the front line to resist and dispatch 20,000 reserves to cross the Xiangjiang River to rescue! There are few soldiers in Shu, and there are many of us, so there is no need to be nervous! ”
Sun Quan's completely layman's speech almost made Lu Dai speechless. He really wanted to pry open his supreme's head at this moment and see how many catties of water was inside.
The main camp is set on fire, their own retreat is cut off, and morale will drop sharply. At that time, it will be good that the soldiers do not break up when they retreat, and you still want to fight back?
"Supreme! Now we can't retreat back to the East Coast! The navy has been arranged by you to the Yangtze River. Lu Dai had no choice but to try to pick good words to persuade Sun Quan.
"And our soldiers are tired, and it is difficult to continue the decisive battle with the Shu army. It's better to retreat to Jiangbei as soon as possible, maybe there is still a glimmer of life! ”
Lu Dai's exhortation made Sun Quan sober up, and he looked at the east bank again, and his blood suddenly became cold.
Dongwu had been camping there for more than ten miles, and at this moment they were all engulfed by the flames. And the navy that they relied on to become big was also transferred to the Yangtze River because of Sun Quan's sake.
In other words, so far, most of the water control rights of the Xiangjiang River are basically controlled by the Han army. This series of various things cannot be said to be similar to the situation faced by Liu Bei in Yiling, but can only be said to be completely consistent.
At the same time, in the public security city, Liu Yin also saw the skyrocketing fire on the east bank. And when he saw this scene, he did not hesitate to order to open the city gate and launch a counterattack.
"I knew that the general would not let go of this good opportunity, Sun Quan simply took the initiative to send warmth to my Han army!"
Under Liu Yin's decisive counterattack, the army's heart was floating outside the public security city, and the hesitant Wu army was in chaos. The Han army took advantage of the situation to cover up from the city and launched a comprehensive counterattack taking advantage of the chaos.
The most tragic thing is that because Sun Quan is a stud, tens of thousands of Wu troops have all landed on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River. With such a large army, many soldiers basically can't see Sun Quan's handsome banner.
When the main camp was burned and the commander could not be seen, all the guarantees of the Wu army for morale were completely ineffective. Under the sudden counterattack of the Han army, some soldiers quickly became accustomed to deserters.
And if one person flares, it will have a knock-on effect. Not to mention that the Wu army was mixed with a large number of private soldiers of the family, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they directly ran away from the formation.
In just a few incense sticks, the Wu army immediately changed from an advantage in me to a rout of the whole army!
Seeing this, Sun Quan's face turned pale all of a sudden. Now this situation doesn't seem to be how to fight back, but how he, Sun Quan himself, escaped!
"It looks a little late, but the Supreme still asks to get on the horse, and a certain escort will escort you out!" Lu Dai was also shocked by Wu Jun's vulnerability, but he quickly reacted. Then he immediately ordered someone to bring Sun Quan's horse over, helped him up and mounted the horse, and then escorted Sun Quan to flee north from the chaos.
At this moment, the Xiangjiang River could not be crossed, and the naval division of the Han army quickly took over the water surface after the withdrawal of the Eastern Wu naval army. If the war goes well, the Dongwu Navy will be able to take it back by turning around, but now that there is a big chaos, it is a fool's dream to regain the right to control the water of the Xiangjiang River in time.
However, on the river to the north, the Soochow naval army was still in control. So as long as Sun Quan escapes to the bank of the Yangtze River, then he will be safe.
However, at this time, tens of thousands of Wu troops had basically lost their centripetal force. All the subordinates are on the run, and many of the family's private soldiers are directly using their connections to force the navy to come to the rescue. As a result, the sailor army, which was originally quite neat, was implicated and fell into chaos.
In particular, Liu Yin inherited Ma Yan, and he also stared at the opposing coach in terms of assault.
As a result, before Sun Quan reached the Yangtze River, his sassy appearance and handsome banner were discovered by the Han army. Liu Yin personally led a thousand elite soldiers of the Han army to break through the obstacles of the chaotic army and pursued all the way.
"Sun Hefei! Dismount and surrender! Our Majesty has already prepared a seat for you in Chang'an, aren't you going to go and see it? Liu Yin personally rode a war horse to chase Sun Quan, and shouted from afar.
Seeing Liu Yin getting closer and closer, Lu Dai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Supreme, you go first, I'll be in charge of the queen of the palace!"
After speaking, Lu Dai led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to turn around and rush towards Liu Yin, trying to intercept them and buy Sun Quan time to evacuate.
But apparently, he won't be able to fight for long. As soon as the soldiers and horses of the two sides came into contact, the Han army broke through Lu Dai's troops as if they were devastated. Lu Dai himself encountered Liu Yin in the chaos of the army, and after less than a few rounds of fighting, Liu Yin was captured.
However, after defeating Lu Dai, Liu Yin was not in a hurry to pursue Sun Quan. On the one hand, he ordered the generals to slow down the pursuit, and on the other hand, he looked at the east bank of the Xiangjiang River.
"The rest is the general's alive......"

At the same time, Ma Tan also basically ended the fighting on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River.
Because of Zhou Yin's heartfelt actions, Ma Yan's action of burning the company camp all the way became extremely smooth. In half an hour, Ma Tan burned more than 30 Wu Jun Yingtun in one go, and successfully turned the entire east coast into a sea of fire.
But if that's all, it's a bit too simple, Ma Tan didn't come back from a hurried march all the way back just to light a fire!
"Go and send a signal to Guan Xing, order the navy to land, I will personally pursue Sun Quan!"
