Zhou Yu screamed, covered his shoulders and fell down.
Lu Su was shocked when he saw this, and rushed forward to support Zhou Yu.
By the light of the fire, he saw that a sharp arrow had penetrated Zhou Yu's shoulder, and blood surged from the wound. Fortunately, the arrow did not hit the vital point.
Now that even Zhou Yu has been hit by an arrow, how can this battle continue? Lu Su frowned and advised: "Gong Jin, at this point, we can no longer hold on to death. We must withdraw our troops and return to camp, and treat your injuries quickly. "
Zhou Yu, who was hit by an arrow, had his anger shattered. The pain was unbearable and he was so weak that he could only nod helplessly and said "withdraw troops" tremblingly.
Lu Su was overjoyed and shouted in a hurry: "The Governor of Zhou has given an order to withdraw all the troops and return to camp."
Ming Jin¡¯s call to withdraw his troops immediately sounded. Tens of thousands of Wu soldiers, who were unable to lift their heads under the weight of arrows, quickly turned around and retreated to the south bank as if they had been granted amnesty.
On the north bank, Yan Liang had finished drinking wine and stood with his hands behind his back, admiring the shooting performance with great interest.
The screams gradually faded away, and the Wu fleet finally began to retreat.
Gan Ning, who was commanding from the side of the trestle, saw this and galloped over on horseback. He shouted excitedly: "My lord, Wu Gou has withdrawn. Please take the opportunity to chase Wu Gou out and kill Wu Gou." Do not stay."
Gan Ning was not satisfied with the small fight on the water just now, and wanted to go out for another big killing.
Yan Liang waved his hand and said: "The Wu people had to retreat only because they were suppressed by our arrows. We may not be able to win in a head-on water battle. Today, the Wu people's warriors have been defeated. Your fighting spirit will remain. Let¡¯s fight again tomorrow.¡±
Gan Ning was just on a whim. After being reminded by Yan Liang, he quickly calmed down and restrained his murderous intent, no longer eager to fight.
After a short time, the Wu people were all out of the range of the crossbows, and Yan Liang ordered to stop shooting.
At this time, the east has turned white. It will be dawn in a few hours.
Yan Liang was worried that the Wu people would leave and come back, so he did not dare to ask the soldiers to rest, and still ordered all the soldiers to stay at their posts. Stand ready.
When the first ray of morning light penetrated the thin clouds in the sky and sprinkled on the Han River. Only then did Yan Liang see clearly that the Wu people had indeed retreated.
The Wu people retreated, but they left floating corpses all over the river. The river surface near the south bank was also stained with blood.
Seeing this scene, Yan Liang could vaguely imagine the cruel torture that the Wu people endured last night.
After a night of chaotic fighting, Yan Liang's carefully laid out strategy finally came to a happy ending, although it failed to severely damage the Wu people. It's enough to dampen their spirits.
"My lord's plan is enough to scare the people of Wu for a while. According to the common man's plan, the battle between Jiangxia and Xia is probably coming to an end."
A satisfied smile appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's mouth and he nodded slightly. Then the soldiers were told to return to the camp to rest, and patrol boats were sent to closely monitor the movements of the Wu camp to prevent the Wu army's counterattack.
A few days later, news came back from Nan'an Xizuo that Zhou Yu had been wounded by an arrow and was bedridden. Wu Jun's military affairs have been temporarily delegated to Deputy Governor Cheng Pu.
Zhou Yu¡¯s slander really made Yan Liang excited, thinking that if Zhou Yu died from the arrow wound, then God would really help him.
Now among the four future commanders of Soochow, Lu Meng was captured by himself, Lu Xun had not yet served Sun Quan, and Lu Su had just defected to Sun Quan, and his prestige was not yet established.
Although there are many good generals in the Wu army, if Zhou Yu dies, there will no longer be a capable commander. This will be a big blow to Sun Quan's plan to advance westward.
At that time, Yan Liang could temporarily not worry about the threat from Soochow and concentrate on dealing with Liu Qi in Jiangling.
However, this was only Yan Liang's best plan. He recalled that during the Battle of Jiangling in history, Zhou Yu had been injured and pretended to be dead, luring Cao Ren to rob the camp, but he almost died.
With this "lesson", Yan Liang had to guard against Zhou Yu's deception, so he did not dare to relax his vigilance. Instead, he sent more scouts to monitor the Wu army's movements more closely.
The two armies faced each other across the river, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a piece of news that Yan Liang had been waiting for for a long time finally came back from Jiangdong.
The people of Shanyue raised troops.
With Ma Liang¡¯s generous gifts and lobbying, tens of thousands of Shanyue people took advantage of Sun Quan¡¯s main force in Jingzhou to come out of the mountains and forests to attack Wujun, Kuaiji, Danyang and other counties.For a time, the east of the Yangtze River was full of war smoke.
Zhou Yu was injured, Shanyue raised troops, and faced with internal and external troubles, Yan Liang knew that Sun Quan would have to retreat.
Sure enough, a few days later, the Wu army began to withdraw eastward one after another. The nearly 50,000 Wu army, which had lost all its energy, not only withdrew from Xiakou, but also withdrew from the counties in Jiangxia that it had previously conquered, and withdrew back to Chaisang in one fell swoop.
The Battle of Jiangxia, which lasted for three months, finally came to an end.
Yan Liang, who had forced the Wu army back, could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He left Gan Ning and Man Chong behind and led 10,000 land and water troops to continue Jiangxia. He led the rest of the troops and returned to Xiangyang.
A few days later, Yan Liang's victorious army returned to Xiangyang in a mighty manner.
Yan Liang first defeated Yuan Tan, then defeated Liu Qi, and now defeated the Sun family of Soochow, which was deeply feared by the people of Jingzhou. Yan Liang's incredible achievements have made the entire Xiangyang City scholars regard him as a god.
When they heard that their lord had returned, all the people in the city walked out of their homes and lined the streets to welcome Yan Liang and his soldiers back home.
Thinking back to when Yan Liang first conquered Xiangyang, the scene when he entered the city was deserted, but now it is so lively. Yan Liang knew that at this time, he had truly secured his position in the most important town in Jingjing.
After returning to Xiangyang, the first thing Yan Liang did was to reward him for his merits.
Tens of thousands of soldiers fought bloody battles with him for three months, and Yan Liang was not stingy. He gave money to those who deserved it, promoted those who deserved promotions, and showed both kindness and power, with clear rewards and punishments.
The next step is to appease the people and restore the economy. Of course, expanding the army is indispensable.
After these three battles were won, Yan Liang captured a total of more than 10,000 surrendered soldiers from Yuan Tan and Liu Qi.
Although the combat effectiveness of these 10,000 surrendered soldiers was not as good as that of his Yan family's army, they were all young and strong. Yan Liang then calmed these 10,000 surrendered soldiers and incorporated them into his own army. He also ordered all generals to undergo rigorous training.
"In this way, these more than 10,000 new troops, plus Yan Liang's original 40,000 troops, excluding the casualties and attrition, his troops can reach an army of 50,000.
An army of 50,000 is quite a powerful force in the world, enough to make Yan Liang not afraid of any threat from powerful enemies.
Yan Liang expanded his army and trained troops. The next goal is naturally to wipe out Liu Qi who is entrenched in Jiangling and swallow up the entire Jingzhou.
After just a few battles, the soldiers were extremely exhausted. And he himself is also mentally exhausted and needs a period of rest before he can talk about fighting again.
¡¡
It¡¯s dusk this day. Yan Liang inspected the city defenses and was about to return home when a servant from another courtyard came to meet him and said that it was the two Madame Cai who invited him to come over and talk to him.
Yan Liang was very interested and rode his horse to the other courtyard.
Just when he entered the hall, Yan Liang smelled the strong aroma of wine, but saw that wine and food had been prepared on the table. Cai Yu and Cai Shu, two aunts and nephews, came up to welcome him.
"I have met the general."
The two women greeted each other Yingying.
"The two ladies are exempt from the courtesy."
Yan Liang reached out his hand and gently helped them up. Now he is in a good mood and his attitude has softened a lot.
?Looking at the two of them, they both wore a little makeup today, and the faint fragrance filled their noses, making them feel relaxed and happy.
Although the two of them are aunt and niece. But Cai Yunian was only thirty, and she always took good care of herself and her skin was very fair. When the two of them stood side by side, they looked more like a pair of sisters.
Yan Liang was so happy that he admired the beauty in front of him wantonly.
Cai Shu looked shy. He felt dizzy on his face and lowered his brows, not daring to look into Yan Liang's eyes.
But Cai Yu was calm and relaxed, and said with a smile: "The general defeated the enemy and ensured the safety of Jingzhou, as well as the safety of my aunt and nephew. I and my nephew had no repayment, so they put down the thin wine and chatted. Express my gratitude to the general."
Her aunt and nephew were suddenly so attentive to her. How could Yan Liang not know what they were thinking?
Now Yan Liang has defeated Yuan Tan, Liu Qi and Zhou Yu in a row, and is famous all over the world. With this prestige, he has completely established a foothold in Jingzhou.
Under such circumstances, the Cai family has little hope of relying on the Liu family to maintain the Zhongluo family. The two women of the Cai family naturally want to seek some protection from Yan Liang to protect the remaining bits of the Cai family's family business.
Yan Liang didn't criticize her, he just laughed and said, "It is the general's duty to protect the country and the people. Why should Madam Cai be so polite? Come on, let's talk inside."
When Yan Liang walked in, he hugged Cai Yu's waist. Cai Yu's delicate body trembled, and she felt a little shy, but she twisted her waist and supported Yan Liang into the hall.Cai Shu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her aunt being treated so "frivolously" by Yan Liang.
It was just that since she moved into this other courtyard, her aunt had told her those things in a tactful but helpless way. Cai Shu had no choice but to tactfully reveal the truth to her aunt. Although the aunt and nephew did not say it explicitly, they felt it in their hearts. Everyone knows that each other has committed himself to Yan Liang, a warrior.
Although she knew this, Cai Shu still couldn't restrain her embarrassment when she saw her aunt greeting Yan Liang so charmingly.
After sighing helplessly, Cai Shu had no choice but to pretend to turn a blind eye and followed in.
After sitting down, the aunt and nephew took turns drinking wine and praising Yan Liang's kindness with sweet words.
After a few glasses of wine, Cai Yu had already let go of her reserve, smiling like a prostitute to greet Yan Liang.
And Cai Shu is obviously not as open-minded as her aunt, and there are inevitably traces of reluctance and reluctance in her words and deeds.
It was already night before he knew it, and Yan Liang was full of wine and food. Under the influence of the alcohol, the raging desire quietly emerged.
"The general must be tired too. Let me rest here tonight." Cai Yu said with a blushing face.
Yan Liang laughed loudly and stood up unsteadily.
Cai Yu is infinitely charming, with a low eyebrow and a smile, she supports Yan Liang and goes to the inner room.
Cai Shu could only watch her aunt and Yan Liang leave. How could she not know what they were going to do, but she could only sigh secretly.
Just when he was about to enter the door, Yan Liang suddenly thought of something and waved his hand: "Cai Shu, you can come in too."
Hearing this, Cai Shu was stunned for a moment, then understood Yan Liang's intention and couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.
