Jiangjindu, north of Hanshui.

The camp built around the bank of the river with large warships such as building boats, fighting ships, and Mong Mo, at this time, everyone in the military tent stood on one side, and they were silent, and their mood was low.

After being silent for a long time, Guan Ping, who was surrounded by everyone in a navy blue robe, looked uplifted and said:

"This time, the Wu people preempted our army and entered the Jiangjin ferry one step ahead, blocking the waterway for our side to return to Jiangling, the capital of Shizhou, from Xiashui."

"Although the enemy's strength is not as large as ours, the enemy's general's defense should not be underestimated!"

"After a few days of attacking, it will be difficult to break through the defense line in the short term."

After that, he swept his gaze over the people on both sides and said, "It's just that according to the current situation, I'm afraid that Gangneung is in a crisis, and there is no room for delay." ”

"Ben is going to order a group to abandon the boat and land ashore along the land route of Dangyang to return first, I don't know what Mr. Ji Chang thinks?"

When the words fell, Guan Ping's eyes moved slightly, and he looked solemnly.

When Ma Liang heard the news, he quickly replied, "What the young general said is not unreasonable, the enemy generals are obviously fortifying along the ferry to delay our return to the division, so as to buy time for the main force of the Wu army to capture the rear counties. ”

"We really can't afford to stay here forever."

The words were spit out, and they also echoed it bluntly.

After hearing that he had also approved his plan, Guan Pingben's hesitant mind quickly settled down, his face was solemn, and he said loudly:

"Governor Zhao, this general ordered you to take an elite army to set off on the same day, land ashore, and return to Jiangling by land to help defend the city and stabilize the situation."

The military order was handed down, and Zhao Lei, the front governor on one side, quickly surrendered his hand to receive the order, "Oh~"

When he left as promised, Guan Ping's complexion appeared worried, "Father ordered me to return to the division with the main force, but now the boat is blocked and it is difficult to break through the enemy's defense line, what should I do?" ”

When the words fell, his words seemed to reveal a few points of self-blame, and he had a feeling of failing his father Guan Yu.

Ma Liang's eyes on the side were so keen, he naturally noticed this subtle scene, and arched his hand to reassure: "The young general doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"Although Wu soldiers intercepted our reinforcements, the defense of Jiangling City was strong, and the prince presided over the expansion of the new city in the south of the city.

There is a tendency that the two cities in the south and north are horns of each other, even if there are not many defenders in the city, as long as they hold on, it will be difficult to overcome it for a while and a half with the ability of the Wu army. ”

"As long as you can hold on to the defense of Zhao Dudu's department, it is expected to be safe!"

"I hope so."

After hearing this, Guan Ping's expression was solemn, his mood did not improve, and then he stared at the picture hanging between the screens, his eyebrows furrowed.

Next, Jiangjindu was still in flames of war, and the sound of fighting was everywhere.

In the face of Guan Ping's personal command, the various departments of the Jingzhou Army attacked like a tide.

Even at this time, Jiang Qin, the main general who was ordered to guard and arrange the defense line to intercept the main reinforcements of the enemy's main army, was quite dignified, and gradually felt the pressure of the other party.

After a fierce battle for a long time, the corpses floated on the Han River, and the blood stained the river red.

"Huh... General, we heard that there seems to be a group of troops in the Jingzhou army who have abandoned their boats and landed on the shore and are heading south along the Hanjin overland route. ”

After a while, I saw a Wu spy rushing to the scene, full of anxiety and bowing his hands.

"Huh?" Hearing this news, Jiang Qin looked at the Jingzhou soldiers who were violently attacking in the north with serious eyes, suddenly realized something, and said secretly:

"It turns out that the enemy general's sudden attack is so fierce, and he is dividing his troops to cover the troops who are returning to Jiangling along the land route?"

After reacting quickly, he asked in a loud voice, "Can you hear clearly what is real and false?" ”

"How many soldiers and horses have abandoned the boat and landed on the shore?"

"Don't hide it from the general, there are about thousands of people."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Qin's expression was fierce and silent.

There's nothing he can do about it!

He was ordered to seize the Jiangjin ferry in advance and block the enemy's waterway back to Jiangling, but there were only a few thousand troops under his command, and the defense of this place was already overstretched, and there was a faint risk of being broken through.

There is no more strength left to go ashore to block the land route.

"General Jiang, please join me in a battalion, and I will go ashore to resist the return of the Jingzhou soldiers."

Suddenly, a word came out from the left, Jiang Qinxun had a reputation, and saw that this general was Sun Huan, who had broken through the weak area along the Nanzhangshui River who had been trapped in the Zhijiang River before.

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Qin thought for a moment, then shook his head and vetoed:

"No need~"

"Huh? Why is that? ”

When Sun Huan saw his response, his face immediately became anxious, and he hurriedly said, "According to the news, General Lu is now besieging the city and exerting pressure outside the northern city of Jiangling, if we let the Jingzhou soldiers return by land, won't we completely lose our strategic plan to capture Jingzhou?" ”

As soon as these words fell, seeing that there was a strong anxiety on his face, Jiang Qin was stunned, and said secretly: "The sneak attack has not succeeded, and the opportunity to capture Jiangling has already been lost, and it is not the best strategy to insist on attacking it!" ”

Although he felt in his heart that this time was no longer suitable for continuing the fight, he still responded quite calmly:

"We only have a few thousand troops, and there are still nearly 10,000 Jingzhou sailors to face at present, and it is not easy to intercept them."

"If you send fewer troops and horses to land, it may be difficult to stop the enemy's southward movement."

"Send more troops, then there will be a gap in the defense line here, which may give the Jingzhou Navy Division a good opportunity to break through."

"Judging from the current situation, the Jingzhou soldiers who abandoned the boat and landed on the shore can only be handed over to General Lu to deal with personally."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Qin calmly analyzed the battle situation at this time and responded.

Although Sun Huan was still quite unwilling when he heard this, his hands were spread out with a look of helplessness, this statement was quite reasonable, and there was really no way to refute it.

After going ashore, Zhao Lei also knew that the situation was urgent, so he ordered all the troops to ride lightly and simply, and they hurried day and night.

Along the way, he prepared that the Wu army would set up an ambush at the Nagasaka Bridge to block it, and then fought fiercely to defeat the enemy's defense, but unexpectedly it was quite unimpeded, and it was not until the front first reached the territory of Maicheng that the rear attracted the attention of the main force of the Wu army in the outer city of Beicheng.

When they heard that thousands of Jingzhou troops were approaching Jiangling, the Wu people did not dare to slack off too much and quickly returned to the military situation.

At the same time, the scouts of the Jingzhou army also heard the situation of the main force of the Wu army in the outer city in the north of the city, and quickly reported it to the front governor.

"Governor Zhao, according to the false and true reports heard by the scouts scattered in front, the main force of the Wu army is now divided into two divisions to launch an offensive against Jiangling."

"One is that Wu will garrison Lü Meng on the periphery of the northern city to besiege the city and put pressure on the city."

"The other part is that Han Dang, a veteran of the Sun family, set up a water village by the river and eyed the southern city."

After listening to the most basic situation clearly, Zhao Lei's mind also thought about it at this time, and after a long time, he ordered:

"Order the soldiers in the front to launch a feint attack on the enemy camp outside the city, cover the scouts into the city, inform the news that reinforcements have arrived, and stabilize the hearts of the people in the city."

The order was handed down and quickly executed.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the front part of the front line up in a battle formation and rushed towards the south.

Zhao Lei led the follow-up troops to rely on the support and continued to follow up on the momentum.

Outside the northern city, Lu Meng, the main general in the military tent, had just received the military information from the scouts about the return of the enemy reinforcements, and before he could help but think, he suddenly faintly heard the sound of fighting around the camp.

"General Lu, a large number of Jingzhou troops are attacking in the north of our army camp!"

At this time, the general Sun Jiao rushed in quickly, and gave orders with a serious expression.

When these words fell, Lu Meng did not hesitate, waved his hand and ordered, "Order all departments not to panic, and beware of the enemy army attacking the camp." ”

"Yes,"

As soon as the order was given, Sun Jiao surrendered his hand and retreated.

"Kill~"

"Kill!"

In the next second, the roar outside the northern city of Gangneung intensified, gradually resounding all around.

Even the defenders on the northern city are still faintly heard!

Hawking looked out closely, muttering to himself: "This movement? Is it the return of reinforcements? ”
