Sun Quan turned pale with fright, and hastily dispatched generals such as Xu Sheng, Zhu Ran, He Qi, and Lu Fan to meet the enemy.
However, it was Liu Ke's soldiers and horses who deliberately preserved their strength and tricked him into going deeper. Now that the trick has succeeded, there is no need to continue to hide.
Therefore, under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, the army killed the opponent and fled.
Sun Quan also wanted to rush to Xiangyang City, preparing to take back Xiangyang while the enemy's foothold was not stable.
However, Liu Ke planned for a long time, how could he make such a mistake?
After Ling Tong rushed into the city and seized control of Ximen, he immediately sent out the signal.
Gan Ning, who was lying in ambush to the west of Mount Xian, got the signal and immediately rushed to the city.
At this moment, Gan Ning led the army to guard the west gate, while Ling Tong mopped up the remaining forces in other directions. Before Sun Quan arrived, he took the city completely.
When Sun Quan tried his best and finally returned to the city of Xiangyang, the head of the city had already changed the banner of the king, and it no longer belonged to Sun Quan.
His face was very ugly, and he roared unwillingly: "The whole army will attack and take back Xiangyang!"
However, before he finished speaking, Zhou Yu directly stopped him.
"My lord, it's no longer the time to attack Xiangyang, let's retreat quickly!"
"No! Father and brother's foundation, how can I give up easily? Even if I exhaust all my strength, I must take back Xiangyang!"
"Zhongmou, don't be arrogant!" At the critical moment, Zhou Yu called him by his first name.
He continued to explain: "At this moment, Xiangyang City has been taken by the enemy, even if the city is not well-defended, such a wide moat is enough for us to work hard.
Coupled with the fact that Liu Ke's army is watching behind him, it may cut off the way back at any time.
If the siege fails and Liu Ke cuts off the rear, our army will be completely wiped out!
As the saying goes, the green hills left behind are not afraid of running out of firewood, so leave quickly, and save your strength for future battles! "
Several other veterans also saw that the situation at this moment had already lost the meaning of continuing to fight.
They all went forward to persuade them together, it can be said that they understood with emotion and moved with reason, and finally persuaded Sun Quan.
"Hey! Just rely on the families of the gentlemen! But now that the waterway is blocked, where can our army escape?"
Zhou Yu frowned and thought about it urgently for a moment, and finally came up with an idea.
"Yes, at this moment, General Cheng Pu just drove away the Dianwei army on the south road, and we retreated directly south along the foot of Xianshan Mountain.
Pass through Zhonglu, Qikou, cross Changbanpo, and go straight to Jiangling. There is a river and a natural moat blocking it. No matter how strong the enemy army is, it is impossible to break through easily!
When the enemy's vigor is gone, food and grass are scarce, and the army's mind is returning, our army will rush out again, and we will be able to recover the cities of Xiangfan in one fell swoop! "
At this moment, the young Sun Quan had long lost his mind, and he heard Zhou Yu's analysis clearly and logically.
Immediately said: "Okay, okay, okay! Just follow Gongjin's words!"
As a result, the army finally gave up the idea of taking back Xiangyang and retreated directly to the south.
But how could Liu Ke let the other party go so easily?The army rushed up immediately, biting Sun Quan's rear army tightly.
Seeing this, Sun Quan's face was full of worry.
Because one's own rear army has been bitten by the enemy all the time and has been unable to get away from the distance, it will be a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.
"Hey! The enemy army is fierce, so what can I do? Who can fight against the enemy with me?"
However, Sun Quan talked for a long time, but no one took the initiative to speak out.
All the generals bowed their heads in silence, and Sun Quan's face became more and more ugly.
At this moment, a tall figure came out more and more: "Lord Inspector, although I am not talented, I am willing to break the heir for my lord, stop Liu Ke, and help my lord go south!"
Sun Quan heard the sound and saw that it was General Zu Mao.
Speaking of which, after Zu Mao was captured alive that day, although Liu Ke released him soon.
However, because of the opponent's plan to alienate him, his status dropped sharply after returning, and he completely lost Sun Quan's trust.
Naturally, he could also understand his situation, but he took the initiative to invite Ying to fight against the enemy many times to wash away his doubts.
But Sun Quan never gave him a chance to prove it. Until now, Zu Mao finally waited for the chance.
Now that the army is retreating, Liu Ke's momentum is like a rainbow. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the price of his life may be the price of his life.
Although everyone is not afraid of death, but no one wants to sacrifice in vain, so no one has volunteered to take on this task.
Therefore, although Sun Quan was slightly surprised when he saw Zu Mao, he did not refuse this time.
Because of the current situation, it is not easy for someone to take the initiative to stand up, and it is Sun Quan's turn to pick and choose.
He glanced at the other party, and said hastily: "General Zu Mao, then I will thank you to lead the troops and horses of our army to end!
After you return safely, I will personally clean up the general! "
After Sun Quan finished speaking hastily, he left Zu Mao behind and led the others to move forward.
After a while of commotion, only Zu Mao and the troops of the headquarters were left here.
Zu Mao looked at the figures in the distance, and then turned around to see the approaching Liu Ke's army.
Can't help but whisper to himself: "Old General, Zu Mao will come to reunite with you today!"
