Back to the Three Kingdoms - Chapter 556

Guan Yu was about to go back to the big tent to rest when he suddenly saw the fire on the south bank shining to the sky. Zhou Cang, who was next to him, pointed to the south bank and exclaimed: “That direction seems to be our camp!” Guan Yu frowned and cursed: “Damn it!” Then he shouted at Zhou Cang: “Assemble the army and come back to help!” Zhou Cang frowned. The promise ran down. However, although the Qin Army was elite and sturdy, it had just gone through a great battle, and there were still many soldiers and horses chasing the enemy but not returning. In this case, it was almost impossible to gather the soldiers and horses quickly.

After half an hour, a part of the Qin army gathered. Guan Yu saw that the flames on the other side had spread rapidly in the camp, and he couldn’t care about gathering the whole army.

However, at this moment, the scout came a message: “Tell General, the camp has been broken by the enemy, and General Yang Feng is killed!” Guan Yu was furious, and immediately led the assembled troops to board the ship and cross the river to retake the camp.

Unexpectedly, they had just landed on the South Bank when they were suddenly besieged by Jiangdong Army on three sides. One by one Jiangdong Army rushed out of the darkness like wolves, tigers and leopards. The armies of the two sides fought fiercely on the shore. Although the generals of the Qin Army were brave and sturdy, and Guan Yu was unstoppable, he was attacked on three sides by the Wu Army when his troops could not be deployed, but they gradually couldn’t resist it. Eventually the army had to be forced to retreat to Jiangbei. Fortunately, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun’s navy firmly controlled the waterway, and Guan Yu’s army did not fall into a desperate situation.

Guan Yu retreated back to the north bank, very angry, and yelled and ordered the generals to regroup all the troops to prepare for another counterattack.

At the same time, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were preparing another plan. Zhou Yu estimated that after Guan Yu was defeated, he would have to wait until dawn to regroup his troops to attack, and the reinforcements from Jiang Xia should be coming soon. Therefore, under Zhou Yu’s suggestion, Sun Ce left only one soldier as a suspect and also wanted to block Guan Yu’s subordinates, while Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led the main forces to quietly set up a huge pocket formation among the dense mountain forests on the east. When Zhang Lang leads Jiang Xia’s army, he will be wiped out in one fell swoop. Zhou Yu’s calculations are very delicate. If this plan is successful, Wu Jun will naturally recover Jiangxia and other places, but the main force of Qin’s army will be hit hard, even if Jingzhou is also in danger.

The army of Soochow lay in ambush among the mountains and forests, and more than 100,000 horses lurked in the vast night and saw nothing but loneliness. In the mountains and forests, the jackdaw’s call occasionally came from the mountains, which seemed to be deserted and empty.

Time passed slowly, and the bright moon hung above the sky in a thin veil, and the earth seemed to be covered with a light veil. Sun Ce couldn’t help getting anxious, and said, “Why haven’t the enemy army appeared yet?” Zhou Yu frowned and said, “Bo Fu, don’t be impatient, I think Qin Jun is coming soon!”

At this moment, a scout rushed to the two of them. Sun Ce hurriedly asked, “Is the Qin army here?”

The scout reported: “Returning to the young master, no trace of the enemy army was found. The distant place is also very quiet.”

Sun Ce couldn’t help but frowned, looked at Zhou Yu, and asked, “Gong Jin, what’s the matter?” Zhou Yu frowned, looking uncertain.

At this time, a messenger from the rear hurriedly reported to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu: “Major General, General Governor, Guan Yu has launched an offensive again! The offensive was very fierce, and we resisted it very hard. General Zhou ordered the subordinates to report to the younger. The general governor, the major general governor, please send troops to rescue quickly.”

Sun Ce couldn’t help but look at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, and said with a fist towards Sun Ce: “Bo Fu, our army should retreat to Baling County immediately!” (Baling is now Yueyang. Currently, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and the others are probably not far east of Chibi. Not far to the east is Jiangxia, and to the west are Baling, Changsha and other places in Hunan that are almost nowadays. In other words, because the Qin army occupied Jiangxia in one fell swoop, it is equivalent to a wedge in the hinterland of Jiangdong to communicate between the east and the west. The connection creates a big obstacle.)

When Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu’s words, he was a little unhappy and frowned, “How can I just give up if the outcome is not divided? In this way, wouldn’t it be that Jiang Xia was handed over to others?”

Zhou Yu sighed and said, “Bo Fu, the outcome is now clear. Zhang Lang’s army has clearly seen through our army’s strategy in the future. However, Guan Yu has exceeded our expectations and counterattacked again in advance. If he succeeds in taking it back. Daying is equivalent to cutting off our retreat, and the consequences will be unimaginable at that time.” Seeing Sun Ce’s still unwilling appearance, he couldn’t help but warn in a deep voice: “Bo Fu, our fighter opportunity has been lost. If we love to fight again, our army will be in a difficult position. Very dangerous! Although I am not afraid of death, if this army is destroyed, the whole Jiangdong will be in danger! At this time, Bo Fu can’t be arrogant!”

Sun Ce couldn’t help but startled, frowned and nodded, and couldn’t help cursing: “Damn Chen Thief, let him go this time!” Then the opponent sent the commander and shouted: “Immediately pass the order, and the army will retreat immediately!” The messenger hurriedly promised. He ran down.

However, as soon as the order was given, another scout who was monitoring Jiang Xia’s direction rushed back and hurriedly reported: “Young Master, Chief Governor, Qin Jun has appeared!”

The two were shocked, and Sun Ce immediately yelled at the messenger who had just gone down and hadn’t gone far: “Wait a minute!” The messenger stopped quickly.

Sun Ce asked the scout excitedly: “You mean the main force of the Qin army has appeared?” The scout nodded.

Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, “How many soldiers and horses did the enemy come, and did Chen Lang lead the army himself?” The scout replied, “If you go back to the governor, the villain can only see the enemy army in the mountains and wilds, and you can’t see the end in the night. The main force. But whether Chen Lang personally leads the army is not known.”

auzw.com Sun Ce clashed with Zhou Yu and laughed: “Gong Jin, we are worrying too much! Chen Lang did not see through your strategy!” Zhou Yu smiled and nodded. Sun Celing passed the order on, and all armies were on standby and should not move rashly. The Jiangdong Army, which had been a little restless, was ordered to suppress them, and only waited for the Qin Army to appear. The Jiangdong Army at this moment is like the wolves lurking in the dense forest under the killing intent and mania. Although the entire mountain forest is silent, there are endless killing intent.

Time passed slowly, unconsciously the moon was swaying west. In Sun Ce Zhou Yu’s expectation, the main force of the Qin army, which would appear within an hour, had not appeared yet after two hours had passed. Sun Ce became anxious, while Zhou Yu frowned, as if worried.

The scout hurried to the two of them. Sun Ce couldn’t hold back, and hurriedly scolded: “The main force of your enemy has already arrived, but why hasn’t it appeared by this time? Are you lying about the military situation!” The scout officer was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: “Little man Even if you have the courage to lie to the military! What the villain says is what the villain has seen with his own eyes! It’s just that the main force of the Qin army stopped twenty miles away at this moment for some reason!”

Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, “You said Qin Jun stopped twenty miles away?”

The scout nodded, “Exactly! The villain came here to report the matter!”

Sun Ce cursed angrily: “Damn Chen Lang! What does it mean to come and not come?”

Zhou Yu frowned and cursed: “What a cunning Chen thief! We have been fooled!” Sun Ce asked puzzledly: “Why did Gong Jin say this?”

Zhou Yu held his fist towards Sun Ce and said, “Bo Fu, we must immediately retreat to Baling according to the previous plan! Time is extremely urgent!” At this moment, a hereditary officer hurried up to report: “Enlighten the young master. The governor, Guan Yu, Cai Tao and Zhang Yun attacked by land and water. General Zhou Tai had lost the riverside line of defense and retreated into the camp. The situation is extremely critical! General Zhou Tai ordered the villain to request support!”

Sun Ce was very shocked. To know that Zhou Taibiao was fierce and good at fighting, but now he has sent people to ask for help in just a few hours. It can be seen that the fighting situation over there is indeed very critical. Zhou Yu hurriedly clasped his fists and said: “Bo Fu, we have fallen into the middle of the scorpion. At this moment, it is the best policy to escape the danger quickly!”

Sun Ce frowned and nodded, then said to Zhou Yu: “Gong Jin led the infantry to retreat immediately, and I led the cavalry to break the queen!” Zhou Yu nodded.

The order was passed on quickly. The soldiers of the Soochow Army heard that they were about to retreat suddenly, and they couldn’t help but feel an uproar. Everyone was very reluctant. However, the military order was embarrassing, but they had to gather up immediately according to the orders of generals at all levels and then retreat to the west.

Chen Lang is garrisoning troops on the wilderness, discussing the current war with Zhuge Liang. At this moment, the scouts who were looking ahead to inquire about the situation hurriedly returned, reporting: “Leader, the Soochow Army that had stopped has suddenly begun to retreat again!”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, “Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu. It seems that he has seen through our strategy.”

Chen Lang smiled and nodded, and asked the scout: “What’s the situation with General Guan?”

“If you return to the lord, General Guan is working with Cai Hao and Zhang Yun to attack Zhou Tai. The battle is fierce, but if nothing happens, General Guan will be able to defeat Zhou Tai in a short time!”

Chen Lang smiled and said: “Although Zhou Gongjin has seen through our strategy, it is too late. Our army will win this battle!” Then he said to the herald next to him: “Send the army to the army, and the whole army to march!”

The 100,000 or so Qin Army that had been stopped restarted and swept toward the west in mighty force, but bypassed the mountain forest where Sun Ce led the army to break. Seeing this scene, Sun Ce had no choice but to cancel the plan to rely on the mountains and forests to block the Qin army, and led his more than 20,000 war horses to go out to block the Qin army!

Chen Lang had long been waiting for him to come, and seeing Soochow Wu riding all over the mountains, he immediately ordered the army to fight. Lü Bu led his war cavalry to meet and resisted Sun Ce’s front. At the same time, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, etc. divided their troops into two wings to outflank the two wings of Sun Ce, trying to swallow Sun Ce in one bite. However, Sun Ce took it seriously. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly led his warriors to rush out from the gap in the opponent’s unformed encirclement circle.

Seeing this scene, Chen Lang, who was watching the game from a distance, couldn’t help frowning, and then smiled: “Although Sun Ce is rude, he is still a famous general!” Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded.

Lu Bu led his army to fight with Sun Ce again, Zhang Fei Dianwei waited to take advantage of Lu Bu’s opportunity to entangle Sun Ce to stir up here. However, Sun Ce was like a loach. Before Zhang Fei Dianwei could finish the outflank, he rushed out, screaming Zhang Fei with anger.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said to Chen Lang: “Master, don’t entangle with Sun Ce here. It’s better to leave Lu Bu’s war cavalry to contain the opponent, and the main force will continue to pursue the main force of Wu Jun!”
