- Wu camp.
Cheng Pu stationed his horse with his sword across, and 20,000 Wu troops were waiting in full formation.
Outside the camp, the shouts of killing were shaking the sky and the earth. In the darkness, there seemed to be countless enemies, trying to rush into the camp like crazy beasts.
However, the killing cry had lasted for half an hour, but not a single enemy figure appeared in sight.
On the front line of the camp fence, the crossbowmen who were bending their bows and setting arrows, or holding their crossbows, were already so tired that their arms ached, while the infantrymen who were raising their swords, skills and spears were also messy in the wind for a long time.
Half an hour passed, and the enemy was just shouting outside the camp, but never launched an attack.
Wu Jun¡¯s high fighting spirit was already fading, and anxiety began to spread among the troops.
Although Cheng Pu, who was standing on his horse, still looked as calm as iron on the surface, under the calm appearance, there was also a heart that was growing suspicious.
How could he not be surprised by Yan Jun's behavior.
At the beginning, Cheng Pu thought that the enemy's only cry to kill but not attack was an attempt to create the illusion of a feint attack to paralyze his own vigilance.
However, the enemies outside the camp continued to shout for more than half an hour, but there were still no signs of attack. Such strange behavior made Cheng Pu gradually suspicious.
"Yan Liang, you thief, are you going to attack or not?"
In Cheng Pu¡¯s mind, the question mark became bigger and bigger.
Just when Cheng Pu was puzzled, suddenly, the shouts of killing outside the camp suddenly fell silent, disappearing in the blink of an eye like smoke blown by the wind.
The 20,000-strong Wu army was already tired, but their spirits gradually relaxed, but they were reinvigorated by this.
Cheng Pu was afraid that the sudden change of the enemy was a sign that he would actually launch an attack, so he rushed his horse to the front line of the camp and ordered the whole army to concentrate and prepare to fight with all their strength.
After the order was passed, the 20,000 Wu troops cheered up, clenched their swords and guns, and prepared to face the enemy's fierce attack.
However. What made them feel disappointed and confused was that after waiting for a long time, they still didn't see any attack from the enemy.
The enemy hidden in the night was like a ghost, and suddenly there was no movement.
"We can no longer wait passively."
This thought flashed through Cheng Pu's mind, so he hurriedly ordered to send a team of scouts out of the camp to scout the enemy's situation.
The enemy is out in the open. He is dark. If there really is Yan Liang's army outside the camp, if this team of scouts goes out, it will be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
Being forced to do so, Cheng Zeng planned to use the lives of his soldiers to detect the true and false status of the enemy.
The palms of my hands were sweating. Cheng Pu frowned and waited quietly.
A quarter of an hour later, the scouts left and returned. The reported information surprised Cheng Pu and the other generals.
For several miles outside the camp, not a single enemy was visible, and the approaching enemies had already withdrawn.
"The enemy has been shouting for kill for most of the day, but they retreated without attacking. Could it be that Yan Liang saw that we were on guard?" Tai Shici asked suspiciously.
Cheng Pu nodded slightly. In this situation, only Tai Shici's explanation seems to make sense.
The generals have been waiting for most of the night. They were all a little disappointed when they heard that Yan Jun retreated without attacking.
At this time, Cheng Pu said: "Why do you need to sigh? We can't attack Yan Liang's dog thief head-on here. There are also the governor's soldiers and horses. I believe that the governor has already broken through the enemy camp by this time and killed Yan Liang and fled." "
Cheng Pu's words were full of confidence, and he was deeply suspicious of Zhou Yu's strategy.
The generals felt a little regretful, but then they cheered up again.
Just at this moment, a rider came galloping from the direction of Shuiying and shouted: "The governor's fleet is back¡ª¡ª"
The spirits of the generals were revived again. Cheng Pu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I think the Commander-in-Chief is returning victorious. Let's go. You and I will go to the water village to welcome the Commander-in-Chief on his triumphant return."
Taishi Ci and other generals were all excited, and everyone followed Cheng Pu to the water village with high spirits.
When Cheng Pu and other generals arrived at the water village, what they saw surprised them.
One by one, warships entered the stronghold, and those who got off the ships were not the excited faces returning from victory as they had imagined, but instead the defeated soldiers who were frustrated and wounded.
In this situation, it seems like you are returning from a great defeat!
The expressions of the generals changed with shock, and they looked at each other in confusion. The shocked Cheng Pu even rode his horse straight towards Zhou Yu's flagship.
When he tried to find Zhou Yu's figure, he was horrified to see that Zhou Yu was covered inBleeding and groggy, he was carried off the boat by the soldiers.
"Yuan Dynasty, what is going on? Why did the governor get injured? What happened to the soldiers" Cheng Pu asked Dong Xijing next to him.
"General Cheng, we were ambushed by Yan Liang."
How Dong Xisui fell into the trap of the army that robbed the camp, and how Zhou Yu was wounded by an arrow, he silently told everyone.
Hearing that Dong was attacking, Cheng Pu and the generals of the Wu army were all shocked.
At this time, they suddenly realized that the trick designed by their Governor Zhou to lure the enemy was actually discovered by Yan Liang again.
Furthermore, Yan Liang played a trick and sent 10,000 troops to shout outside the camp, in order to make Zhou Yu mistakenly think that he had been fooled, and instead induced Zhou Yu to lead his army to rob the camp.
The generals of the Wu army who understood the truth had shock and anger on their faces.
They were frightened by Yan Liang's resourcefulness that they had once again seen through their own governor's ingenious plan, and they were angry that Zhou Yu was actually shot by Yan Liang.
"Yan Liang is such a thief, how could he"
The shocked Cheng Pu no longer knew how to describe his surprise at Yan Liang.
At this time, Zhou Yu, who was on the stretcher, woke up faintly and looked at the generals who were surrounding him. His face, as pale as paper, could not help but reveal a bit of shame.
"Captain, how are you injured?" Seeing Zhou Yu wake up, Cheng Pu rushed forward.
Zhou Yuqiang gritted his teeth and said weakly: "Yan Liang, the dog thief, saw through my plan, but he didn't know that I was wounded by an arrow. Zhongde, speed up the entire army to break camp and retreat to Ku County. By tomorrow, Yan Liang will We will definitely attack in a big way, quickly, quickly"
Zhou Yu had just said a few words when he fainted again under the severe pain.
After being stimulated by Yan Liang twice in a row, Zhou Yu really fell down.
Cheng Pu realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately ordered the entire army to allocate camps and withdraw to Ku County overnight. He also sent people to Moling to report the failure here to Sun Quan.
? ######
At dawn the next day, Yan Liang immediately ordered his 30,000 troops to rush out and rush toward the Wu camp more than ten miles away.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: After cleaning up the battlefield, a rough calculation showed that the Wu people had as many as 4,000 casualties.
This means that, together with the losses in the Battle of Wuping, Wu's 30,000-strong army has lost almost one-third of its strength.
The defeat of Wu Shui was bound to have a huge blow to the morale of the Wu people, so Yan Liangcai decided not to stand still, but to mobilize the entire army to launch a fatal attack.
When Yan Liang's army rushed towards the Wu camp in a mighty manner, Yan Liangcai was surprised to find that the Wu camp was completely empty overnight, and all the more than 20,000 Wu troops had left.
Yan Liang, who had missed the attack, sent out scouts to conduct reconnaissance, only to learn that the Wu people had abandoned their camp overnight and retreated to Ku County by water.
At this time, Yan Liang had to admire Zhou Yu's reaction ability. He had just experienced a big defeat and could figure out that he would attack with all his troops the next day, so he escaped in time.
This place is only a few dozen miles away from Ku County. When Yan Liang's scouts reported back, most of the Wu people had retreated to Ku County. With the city to rely on, it was obviously no longer appropriate to launch a large-scale attack.
Yan Liang was somewhat regretful that he failed to defeat Wu Jun in one fell swoop, but another piece of news brought back by the scouts gave Yan Liang another unexpected gain.
Zhou Yu was injured by an arrow and was so angry that he vomited blood.
After investigation by scouts and those who went deep into Ku County, Yan Liang finally confirmed that this unexpected surprise was not Zhou Yu's trick again.
Zhou Yu was seriously injured, and the command of the Wu army fell into the hands of Cheng Pu. Although this man had rich experience, was good at running the army, and was calm but lacking in resourcefulness, he was far from Yan Liang's opponent.
This also means that it is inevitable for the Wu army to retreat and return south. If the Wu people retreat, Yan Liangfang can retreat from behind and go north to deal with Liu Bei, the real enemy.
At this time, news came from the Liang State that Yuan Shang, who had attacked Suiyang with great fanfare, not only failed to defeat Liu Bei, but also lost his troops and generals, and suffered several defeats in a row.
After repeated defeats, Yuan Shang could only give up the initiative to attack, withdrew his troops from Liang State and retreated to Xiangyi and Jiwu.
Liu Bei, who had been victorious in consecutive battles, turned his back on defense and led his army to pursue the victory and launched a fierce attack on Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang's troops have been weakened, and Yan Liang's goal has been achieved. Of course, he will not sit back and watch Yuan Shang's army be destroyed, allowing Liu Bei to take the opportunity to gain power. It is now time for him to send his army north to clean up Liu Bei and reap the benefits.
However, what made Yan Liang feel unhappy was that the Wu army that retreated to Ku County did not retreat as he expected. Instead, they refused to retreat after gaining ground, showing signs of fighting a protracted war. .
According to the intelligence sent back by Xiaozuo, Cheng Pu originally planned to withdraw his troops from the Wu army and return south, but Zhou Yu insisted on refusing to withdraw his troops and insisted on continuing the confrontation with Yan Liang.
"This Mijuro, even after being injured like this, still refuses to retreat. He insists on spending time here with me. He can't get any benefits on his own, and he can't benefit from me if he insists on dragging him"
In the military tent, looking at the information about Wu Jun, Yan Liang couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Liao said: "If the Wu army does not retreat, our army will always be threatened from behind. My lord, how about using all the troops to repel the Wu people by force?"
Yan Liang shook his head, "Although the Wu army lost two battles, it still has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there are veteran generals like Cheng Pu in charge. If our army forces an attack on Ku County, it may not bring good results."
Yan Liangyi defeated Liu Bei and started the war with Zhou Yu because Zhou Yu took the initiative and had no choice but to fight. Now it is not his style to forcefully attack the city and make unnecessary sacrifices.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy if we don't want to attack by force, but we also want the Wu people to retreat" Zhang Liao sighed.
At this time, Xu Shu, who had been silent, had a sly smile on his lips, "My lord, I have a plan, which may force Zhou Yu to retreat. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
