Chapter 32: Defeat Again
As soon as the roar fell, before Lu Mengshang could react, he suddenly saw a bloody, fierce bloody man waving a blood-spattered blade attacking, and the momentum was overwhelming.
The person who came was Huo Yi, who quickly killed.
Before it could react, it was slashed with a diagonal stab.
Lu Meng secretly said that this knife was unstoppable, and without the slightest hesitation, his body instinctively quickly swung his sword to block it.
"Bang Dang~"
The knife staggered past and crashed into a ball.
Then the two fought each other.
It's just that the battle array fights, so that the long sword is naturally at a disadvantage.
The so-called one inch is long, one inch is strong.
Huo Yi kept slashing with the long knife in his palm, and the heavy force made Lu Meng's face turn red, and he gritted his teeth and held the sword to resist.
"You just have this little martial art, and you dare to offend my Jingzhou land?"
While swinging the knife and slashing down, Huo Yi looked smiling, and still had the strength to mock.
Lu Meng was fully engaged in resisting the attack at this time, his face was tense, and he couldn't think of responding at all.
As the war went on, his back became colder and his pressure increased.
Not only that, but all the units of the Wu army under his command were also shattered by the Jingzhou soldiers, and they retreated one after another.
This is the top-level infantry strength of the elite Cao soldiers who have fought on the battlefield for many years.
In the Battle of Fancheng, they were swallowed up by the flood before they could confront the Jingzhou army, and they had no choice but to become prisoners of war, and now this top army has become the most solid blade in Huo Yi's hands.
Chiseled through the military formation, and the Wu soldiers gradually showed a look of panic.
It can be said that "the house leak coincides with the rain", and in the next second, Zhu Ran rode a war horse and rushed over quickly, forcing Huo Yi's offensive back with a knife, converging with Lu Meng, and arched his hand with an eager face:
"General Lu, the western camp of our army has been broken through the defense line by the enemy, and now we are driving the rout to kill here."
"Now that the enemy army has recruited Cao soldiers and prisoners of war to help in the war, the situation is unfavorable to our army and it is not suitable to fight again, so we should withdraw our troops as soon as possible to avoid the edge~"
As soon as these words fell, Huo Yi's face on the opposite side was full of confidence, and from the expression of Zhu Ran, who had just run, he looked anxious, and after a little thought, he knew that it was the defense line on the Xiying side that had made a breakthrough.
After all, it was the Huo Jiajun, who had a strong combat strength in his private troops, and the first batch of Cao soldiers, who were the most energetic to assist in defending the city.
In addition, the main force of Wu's soldiers was contained in the Beida Battalion by himself, and the second battalion in the east and west was inevitably scattered.
"Lu Meng, can you serve the general's soldiers?"
After thinking about it for a while, Huo Yi raised the long knife and shouted with laughter, full of momentum.
"Thou ......"
Lu Meng was also furious in his heart at this time, but at this moment, there was a sound of fighting in the west direction, and the Wu soldiers in Jiangdong armor in front of them were chiseled through the formation and fled in panic.
The Jingzhou soldiers in the back pursued them relentlessly.
Lu Meng's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and when he saw that his soldiers were becoming more and more difficult to resist, and the western camp was the first to break through, his expression instantly regained his composure.
He quickly made a trade-off in his mind, knowing that as Zhu Ran said, continuing to fight this time would only make the battle more unfavorable.
"Yifeng, organize all departments to evacuate along the riverside and join General Han in Shuizhai."
"ε~"
As Lu Meng decisively ordered in a loud voice, Zhu Ran also hurriedly clenched his fists and said.
When the order was handed down, the Wu soldiers, who were already at a disadvantage in the fierce battle, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it, and all the soldiers quickly obeyed the orders of the general and retreated while fighting.
Huo Yi also seemed to notice that Lu Meng seemed to have the intention of retreating, and suddenly showed anxiety, and suddenly slapped his knife and said: "Soldiers, those who capture Lu Meng will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the marquis of ten thousand households will be sealed~"
Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men.
What's more, Huo Yi's good style of being trustworthy also makes the soldiers trustworthy.
As soon as the order fell, I saw that all the soldiers formed a formation in the chaotic army to find the figure of Lu Meng, the main general in white robes, and then rushed up to chase and kill.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Ran's expression was heavy, and he said loudly: "General Lu, your safety is at stake for the whole army!" β
"Now that the enemy offensive in Dongying is weak, it is still in the hands of our army, you go first, and you will lead the crowd to cover."
When the words fell, Lu Meng's mind was also very sober, and he knew that this was not the time to shirk, so he quickly got on his horse and went straight to the riverside water village under the protection of the personal guard battalion.
Zhu Ran led the headquarters to quickly line up the military formation, retreating while fighting, blocking the pursuing enemy soldiers.
Seeing Zhu Ran, who was dispatching and commanding in the array, Huo Yi, who saw that the overall situation had been decided, sat in the formation and overlooked the overall situation, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Zhu Yifeng is worthy of being a good general, and he can arrange the formation in a short period of time, and the talent of this military strategy should not be underestimated~"
"The combat power of the subordinate parts is also quite strong~"
Seeing that his troops were rushing up was blocked by this Wu soldier for a while, he praised again and again.
It's just that now the western camp of the Wu army and the northern camp have been defeated, even if Zhu Ran's department is quite elite, it is destined to not affect the overall situation.
As the Jingzhou soldiers gathered more and more, Zhu Ran's troops gradually became unable to resist.
Zhu Ran watched and listened to all directions, guessing that his general had probably withdrawn and no longer fell in love with war, waving his sword and shouting:
"Brothers, withdraw~"
The order was handed down, and this branch was also forbidden, and the battle was retreated.
With the withdrawal of Wu soldiers, Jingzhou soldiers also launched a pursuit one after another.
chased all the way to the riverside and killed more than thousands of Wu people.
Until LΓΌ Meng and the Han Dangbu of Shuizhai converged, they reorganized their troops and horses to contend with each other.
Huo Yi, who chased after him, observed that the enemy's Shuizhai defense was quite properly arranged, and there were countless big ships on the river, knowing that these Cao soldiers under his command were not accustomed to water warfare, and it was difficult to continue to attack the water camp to expand the results of the battle.
"The whole army retreated, cleaned up the Wu soldiers, captured the prisoners of war and returned to the city."
Huo Yi waved his hand and gave an order.
All the units of the army ordered the ban, quickly stopped the pursuit, turned around and turned back to Jiangling, and on the way back to the city, they also gave full control to the Wu soldiers who had just had time to evacuate.
When I returned to the periphery of the city, I saw that the Wu army camp had already been planted with Han army flags.
The various departments successively transported the prisoners who laid down their arms and the supplies that the Wu people had too late to take with them when they retreated.
As Huo Yi led the crowd back to the camp, there was still war burning inside and outside the camp at this time, corpses everywhere, and the strong smell of blood only felt pungent when it blew around.
"General Qiyu Huo, when we were cleaning the enemy's main camp, we found a letter of paper, and I didn't dare to deal with it easily, so I wanted to hand it over to you for disposal~"
The person who came was the military marquis who was under the clan brother Huo Jin to help take charge of the Huo family's army, and said with a serious face.
"Oh? Instrument? How is the content, and Ben will take a look~"
As soon as the words fell, Huo Yi took the document and quickly examined it, and the more he looked at it, the more dignified his expression became.
"Is that all?"
"Hmm~ that's all for now."
After roughly sweeping through the documents, Huo Yi, who had originally repelled the siege of the old city of Jiangling by the Wu army because of this victory, suddenly looked solemn and commanded sharply:
"Seal these documents and keep them, and dispose of them at my orders when you enter the city."
