The two armies fought for a long time.

The Wu army, led by Lu Meng, Zhou Tai and other Jiangdong generals, did not lose its fighting spirit and collapsed even when faced with the elite Hu Ben camp.

Instead, they fought fiercely.

A message came from the river bank on the left saying that Xu Sheng's troops had already evacuated by punting because the wind and waves were gradually subsided.

After learning about this military situation, I saw that Cao's army was powerful and the strength of the infantry battle could not be underestimated. There was no point in continuing the battle.

Lu Mengsui also waved his halberd high and gave a stern order: "Soldiers, form formations alternately on the left and right, and slowly retreat to Ruxuwu."

Give the order.

The surrounding flags fluttered rapidly.

When the surrounding generals saw this, they had no intention of fighting at all. They gathered together in formation and went to the outside to kill.

Lü Meng was in the middle and controlled him calmly.

There is also Zhou Tai, a fierce man who is willing to take his own troops to cut off the queen.

The Wu army's tribes also easily got rid of Cao's army.

Zhang Liao and Le Jin joined forces to fight against Zhou Tai, but they were unable to capture him for a long time.

Instead, Zhou Tai wielded a long sword and blocked the weapons in the hands of the two generals one after another.

The fight lasted for quite some time.

His eyes drifted to the rear, watching as his troops had basically withdrawn safely.

Zhou Tai also didn't want to continue to be entangled.

I saw him taking the initiative to attack with his long sword, and in one fell swoop he was able to defeat the two men's offensive.

Immediately, he took advantage of this gap to ride his horse and jump out of the battle group.

Take the headquarters, fight and retreat.

This battle gradually came to an end.

Only corpses were left on the ground and an endless smell of blood around them.

In this battle, Cao Jun had the upper hand.

But the combat power displayed by Wu Jun is also different!

He only saw Zhang Liao returning to the main tent to hand over the military orders, so he handed over his hands and responded: "Prime Minister, today the Wu people are basically on par with our soldiers in infantry combat!"

"Even if our side has a slight upper hand, we cannot form an overwhelming offensive."

This statement came out as soon as it came out.

Xu Chu on one side also knew his mission well, and he immediately echoed with his hands: "Prime Minister, this is a good statement. Chu was ordered to lead the Huben camp to reinforce."

"Although Wu Jun struggled to resist, he did not collapse and was still fighting to the death!"

Zhang Liao and Xu Chu spat out their words one after another, and Cao Cao, who was at the head of the group, also listened to them in his heart.

He began to secretly think about Wu Renjian's fighting power.

After saying this, after a while, he led the tiger and leopard cavalry to drive away the Wu troops and reorganized the defense. Cao Xiu did not care about being out of breath when he returned.

After a short pause, he replied in a dusty voice:

"Prime Minister, the last general has led his troops to drive away the Wu army that came from the river."

"However, the fighting power of this Wu people is extraordinary, so we must guard against it!"

As several generals poured out their analyzes on the Wu army's overall combat strength.

The civil servants in the tent were unconsciously a little suspicious.

"Do the Wu people have such strong fighting power?"

"Isn't this consistent with the battle report returned from last year's battle in Hefei?"

Especially after hearing Cao Xiu's story about the partial Wu division that was forced to the shore by the wind and waves, and the offensive he launched with his tiger and leopard cavalry and the surrounding patrol forces, the Wu army was able to hold on until the wind and waves calmed down and they safely evacuated.

Everyone felt even more incredible!

It should be noted that the knights formed by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are all capable of equaling one to a hundred, and their combat power is absolutely reliable.

Almost all of them were composed of centurions carefully selected from the army.

But last year, more than 100,000 Wu people were massacred in Hefei.

This year we took the initiative to attack, but were unable to defeat the enemy in infantry combat.

In fact, most of the people present were not expecting it.

Zhang Liao raised his head and looked around, seeming to have seen through the doubts on everyone's faces, and then continued to say:

"In my opinion, the fighting spirit of the Wu army is far from the same as when they invaded Hefei last year. It may have something to do with the commander-in-chief."

"Oh? Why did Wen Yuan say this?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask intently.

"The reason is that last year, according to the observation of the general, Sun Quan personally commanded the troops, but he seemed to be extremely bad at understanding military strategy, formation of troops, etc."

"Repeatedly let the general find favorable opportunities."

After finishing his sentence, he thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "But during these few days, I have been engaged in fierce battles with the enemy. It is obvious that I am very accomplished in formation formation."

"And the general's command is proper, so he can withstand our army's fierce offensive."

Following Zhang Liao's in-depth explanation.

While everyone was still deep in thought, Cao Cao, who was sitting at the table, was already touched and kept this matter firmly in his mind.

The battle raged and the battle ended.

Cao's side did not take any immediate action.

First, the soldiers of each department were ordered to take a short rest to restore their physical strength.

At this moment, the various units of the Wu army returned to Ruxu Wu in turn.

Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, had also been waiting in Wu Bao for a long time.

Watching Lu Meng, Zhou Tai and others return safely with their troops.

He also personally went to greet him outside Wubao to show his honor to the generals.

"The last general Lu Meng pays homage to the lord."

After Lu Meng led all the generals to the front, he jumped off his horse first and bowed his hands.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Immediately afterwards, the other generals paid homage one after another.

"Generals, there is no need to be polite."

After saying that, Sun Quan, who had a beautiful purple beard, a pair of piercing blue eyes, and was about eight feet tall, suddenly burst into laughter, and he held Lu Meng's arm and said:

"Ziming, how is the situation of this battle?"

"Speak to Gu Shu quickly?"

One word fell.

After receiving the soldiers and generals, he couldn't control his emotions and wanted to know the situation of the field battle as soon as possible.

Seeing the impatience on his owner's face.

Lu Meng showed a slight smile on his face, so he went up to Wu with his master while reporting on the military report.

When they learned that their own soldiers were actually on a par with Cao's army this time.

Even Sun Quan himself couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

what's the situation?

Cao's army is powerful, can they still fight equally?

"Then in the Battle of Hefei last year, when a single family united more than 100,000 people to attack, how could it happen...?"

He thought about this secretly, but suddenly he didn't dare to think deeply about it.

The same soldiers, but this time it was replaced by Lu Meng to coordinate.

The combat power exerted is not the same!

Isn’t this a disguised devaluation of one’s own military and strategic capabilities?

Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but have a trace of a wry smile on his face.

As Lu Meng reported more and more deeply, it was about Xu Sheng's troops being forced to blow to the river bank where Cao's army was stationed due to strong winds and waves.

However, Xu Sheng remained calm in the face of danger and organized his men to fight to the death with Cao's army on the beach.

Instead, they repelled several attacks one after another and seized the beachhead.
