Great Wei Nengchen

Still the same sentence, the most worrying thing about the retreat of the army is not to open up roads, but to guard against chasing troops. Although the Jiangdong Army is seriously injured, Liu Bei's 6 or [-] horses are stationed in Xiakou City. Sit on the sidelines!

Knowing that the troops of the various ministries are retreating westward, they will definitely come to chase and kill them. This requires a team of troops to take on the task of stopping the enemy again, and this glorious mission naturally falls to Xiao Yi and the Xuanjia Army!

After all the troops withdrew, Xiao Yi brought several apprentices and [-] soldiers of the Xuanjia Army to station forty miles northwest of Wulin, guarding the dangerous place - Huangfeng Valley!

Huangfeng Valley was originally the place where Cao Jun cultivated and settled people suffering from malaria. After the soldiers recovered one after another, the place was abandoned, but the barriers and camps were still well preserved, and a small amount of food and grass were hoarded, enough to consume ten days and a half months. up!

Xiao Yi led the Xuanjia iron cavalry and stationed in Huangfeng Valley, strengthening the barriers every day, actively preparing for battle, and making a long-term posture to confuse the enemy's sight and block the pursuing enemy at the same time!

Next, it is to compete with Kong Ming, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu for wisdom, with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun for courage, and with big-eared Ah Fu for determination. See who can be more skilled in this decisive battle on the battlefield?

..........................................................................................

The fire burned for two days and two nights before it was slowly extinguished. The original Cao Junshui and Lu Dazhai were completely turned into ruins, and charred bodies were scattered all over the mounds, ravines, and rivers... ...The fishy smell is so terrible that it is too horrible to look at!

After this battle, the Jiangdong navy lost more than 8000 men, four or five hundred warships were burned, and seven to eight thousand infantrymen who entered the camp were also burned to death. General Jiang Qin died in the flames. The injury rushed out, and he couldn't play for a few months!

The governor Zhou Yu was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma. Fortunately, his subordinates risked their lives and rushed out from the burning battlefield, so they did not turn into ashes. Then he ordered the doctor to treat him with needles and drugs. Yes, at least Zhou Yu's life was saved!

However, the doctors made it clear that Zhou Yu vomited blood once when he was defeated in the Huainan War a few years ago, and the root cause of the disease was left behind.

If you take the medicine on time, rest with peace of mind, and stay away from things that hurt your body and mind, you can recover slowly. If you don't listen to the advice and get angry again, you may be afraid of the third mouthful of blood, and the governor will be in danger of life!

In desperation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to return to Sanjiangkou, bowed his head to plead guilty to Sun Quan, took the responsibility for the defeat, handed over the seal of the governor, and then hid in the tent to recuperate. Veterans Cheng Pu and Han Dang are in charge!

In fact, everyone knew well that the root cause of the defeat in this battle was Sun Quan. It wasn't that he was afraid and suspicious, and forced Zhou Yu to return to the teacher for rescue. How could there be Wulin's disastrous defeat?

The result now is: the main force of Cao's army has retreated to Jiangling City, Xiao Yi also jumped out of the encirclement, Jiangdong's army ran back and forth, did not get any benefit, instead many soldiers were killed and injured, not to mention their vitality, but also their muscles and bones !

Then again, when Cao Jun marched south, Liu Biao died, Liu Cong surrendered, Liu Bei fled in embarrassment, Jingzhou lost eight of the nine counties, and the six Jiangdong counties were panicked. Almost everyone thought that Prime Minister Cao would sweep the world just around the corner!

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the 22-year-old Sun Quan stood up, suppressed the opinions of the capitulation faction, and led the whole family to the front line to stabilize the wavering hearts. Cao Cao saved the land of the six counties in Jiangdong!

For this point, Sun Quan is worthy of being the overlord of Jiangdong, at least a hundred times stronger than Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, and Gongsun Kang. It's settled down!

In the days that followed, the Jiangdong army would cultivate and rectify their troops, so as to recover their vitality as soon as possible, and the arduous task of chasing Xiao Yi fell into the hands of Liu Beijun!

Chapter 1309 Three ways to break through, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false

"Report! - The Jiangdong navy suffered heavy losses, and the rest of the troops retreated to the Sanjiangkou camp. They are powerless to fight any more in the short term!"

"Report! -Cao Jun did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but gathered on the north bank of the river, and each department retreated westward one by one!"

"Report! - Xuanjia Cavalry is stationed in Huangfeng Valley and is building barriers to prepare for battle. There is a banner with the word 'Xiao' waving in the camp!"

....................................

Xiakou City - On the city tower, Liu Bei, Kong Ming, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun... Dozens of people gathered together to watch the smoke on the Yangtze River while discussing important military affairs, and even rangers kept running to report The situation on the battlefield!

A cowhide map hangs next to it, showing the distribution of cities, mountains, and rivers in Jiangxia County, and marking the three forces of Cao, Sun, and Liu in black, red, and yellow, forming a staggered situation where it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy!

Since the "Alliance with Sun against Cao", Liu Bei's army has been stationed in Xiakou City. On the surface, they waved flags and shouted, and fought against the enemy, but they never entered the battlefield. To put it bluntly, it is to preserve their strength and recharge their batteries. !

Liu Bei, Kong Ming, and Xu Shu discussed in private, and the most favorable strategy at the moment is "the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins". River of blood, vitality is seriously injured!

If Sun Quan and Zhou Yu win, according to the agreement, the two will carve up the nine counties of Jingzhou. Liu Bei has been operating in Jingzhou for several years, has a large number of contacts, and controls the eldest son Liu Qi. When distributing the spoils, he can definitely eat more and take more !

If Cao Cao and Xiao Yi win, they will take advantage of their geographical advantages and move eastward first to snatch the territory of the six counties in Jiangdong.

There is also a third situation, that is, Cao and Sun are both injured, and they all fall on the battlefield. Liu Bei can walk over happily and declare himself the ultimate winner, but the facts are not the same as imagined...

After more than half a year of fierce fighting, Cao Jun ended in a disastrous defeat. Gao Lan, Cao Ren, Li Dian... more than a dozen civil and military officials, either died on the battlefield or died of illness in the camp. Ten thousand, countless weapons, food and grass were consumed, and the vitality of the Caoying Group was greatly injured!

As the victors, the situation of the Jiangdong Group is also not optimistic. Several generals Huang Gai and Jiang Qin were killed in battle. Zhou Yu vomited blood and suffered serious physical losses. Hundreds of warships were damaged, and fifty to sixty thousand people were lost. It's all gone too!

At this point, both Cao and Sun's armies were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting. Liu Bei's army, which was originally the weakest, became a decisive force, and their next plan was: "Pursue the retreating troops and capture Xiao Yi alive! "

"Although Xiao Yi is bloodthirsty, he is still a talented commander. He dares to take the lead when encountering the enemy, and dares to stop when he retreats. He is deeply supported by the generals of the Cao army, so I dare to say that this person must be in the Yellow Maple Valley!

Although Cao's army is tired and has a large number of troops, and our army is fine but small in number, if we launch a full-line pursuit, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve great results. It is better to concentrate all our forces and gather and wipe out the Xuanjia army that is behind them!

As for the treatment of Xiao Yi - he can only be captured alive, not beheaded, if he is captured alive to win the land of the Three States, he might be in danger of disaster, everyone must remember, remember! "

Pang Tong has been undercover in Cao Ying, and now he is back on Liu Bei's side, eager to show his talents and establish his position, so he was the first to speak, but his analysis of the battle situation is indeed unique!

Xiao Yi has [-] horses, and Liu Bei's army has only [-] to [-]. The difference in numbers is too great. If a chase is launched across the board, it will be like a small snake swallowing an elephant.

It's better to concentrate our strength and only interrupt the Xuanjia army, the strength of the army has become two to one, and the odds of winning are greater. Xiao Yi is the most important minister of Cao Ying. It can be exchanged for cities, armaments, and property. This is a living treasure!

On the contrary, if Xiao Yi is accidentally killed, the Caoying Group will definitely retaliate wildly, the frontal army will come, and the hidden killer will keep lurking. With the current strength of the Liu Bei Group, I am afraid they will not be able to stand up to it!

The strategy and tactics have been determined, and the next step is how to implement it. Liu Bei's army of 6 or [-] horses are mostly patchwork mobs. There may not be a chance of winning!

Unless in a dangerous place, cleverly set up an ambush and take advantage of the terrain to kill and injure a large number of black armored cavalry, then there is a better chance of winning. The question is, where is the ambush set?

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned and fell on the cowhide map, or watched intently, silently calculated, or whispered, discussed with each other, all wanted to know a question, would Xiao Yi break out from everywhere?

Cao's army numbered 10 horses before - exhausted and demoralized, so they were eager to retreat to Jiangling City, which was the base camp of Cao's army, and they had stockpiled countless military equipment, food and grass, which could supply the army's needs!

The [-]-mile marshland is difficult for men and horses, but it is also an invisible protection that can stop the Sun and Liu coalition forces from pursuing. Therefore, retreating to Jiangling City is the only choice for Cao Jun's brigade!

It's different now, Xiao Yi's [-] Xuanjia troops are all the most elite cavalry--flexible and maneuverable, galloping vertically and horizontally, there are not many supplies that need to be replenished, but there are many directions to break through, except for the mighty Yangtze River in the south , East, North and West are all possible!

"Huarong Road is extremely muddy, and it is difficult for infantry to walk, let alone armored cavalry, Xiao Yi is good at using troops, he will never take this dangerous road, I expect him to break through to the north in all likelihood!

People and horses went north along the Weishui River, walked to Anlu, passed Yingshan, and left Sui County... It only took four or five days to reach Nanyang County, which was controlled by Cao Jun, and there were heavy troops stationed in Wancheng! "

Xu Shu stretched out his finger, and tapped heavily at the junction of Jiangxia and Nanyang counties. There is Tongbai Mountain - which stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west, and has ravines and dangerous terrain. It is a good place to set up an ambush!

The cavalry galloped across the plains and was invincible, but once they entered the mountains, they became lambs waiting to be slaughtered. 6 horses were ambushing here, and Xiao Yi could be captured alive in a battle!

"Xiao Yi is not only as cunning as a fox, but also as brave as a tiger. A person with such a character always only takes advantage of the advantages and does not suffer the disadvantages. Even on the way to retreat, he will not be willing to be lonely!

I guess he didn't break through to the north, but marched eastward, crossed the Wei River, crossed the Dabie Mountains, entered the territory of Lujiang County, joined up with Zhang Liao's troops, and then caused some trouble for the Jiangdong Group. This is the style of Ghost Face Xiao Lang Woolen cloth! "

Pang Tong has been undercover in Cao Ying for a long time, and he also knows Xiao Yi quite well. He thinks that such a powerful character will not escape, but only attack. The target is Lujiang County in the east, which is the territory of Jiangdong Group!

The ambush site was chosen in the Dabie Mountains, which meanders for five or six hundred miles. It is the dividing line between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River. !

"Yuan Zhi and Shi Yuan are both right. If Xiao Yi leads an army alone and has no scruples in his heart, he either breaks through the encirclement to the north, or advances to the east, waiting for an opportunity to kill a carbine, this is in line with his sturdy character!

But Xiao Yi was stationed in Huangfeng Valley for the purpose of ending the army, so there is no reason for him to take a detour, so I predict that he will take Huarong Road, go to Jiangling to join the Cao bandits, and then turn into Xiangyang City! "

Zhuge Liang is cautious by nature and likes to plan before making moves, so he was the last one to speak, pointed to the position of Huarong Road, and clicked heavily a few times. It is best to set up an ambush here to the west!

An embarrassing thing happened. Regarding the direction of the enemy's breakout, Liu Beijun's three advisers made three different analysis, and they all sound reasonable. Who is right and who is wrong?

Kong Ming, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu looked at each other, their eyes were full of confidence, and there was a hint of a struggle. Among the talented people, there is no one who is willing to be inferior to others, and who doesn't want to monopolize the leader?
