Chapter 500: Pang Tong withdraws the army (thanks to [follow the soul]
Jia Xusheng's strategy of attacking from the east to the west was successful. As soon as Cao Cao's main reinforcements arrived, they could wipe out Pang Tong and tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops in one fell swoop!
It was just that Zhang He and Gao Lan had been shouting outside Pang Tong's camp for a long time. Except for the loud beating of drums by the other party every time they called for battle, no one came out to challenge them.
Zhang He felt something was wrong, so he and Gao Lan approached the camp to observe.
I didn’t know this, and I almost made my nose crooked with anger when I saw it.
I saw only a few soldiers in the camp, shirtless and beating war drums vigorously. As for Pang Tong and others, they had already evacuated the soldiers from Danshui in warships.
Facing Cao's army, the Jingzhou army could stay if they wanted and leave if they wanted. This is the advantage of having a navy.
"Run away?!"
Cao Cao and others rushed to Jia Xu's camp, but Zhang He and others brought news that Pang Tong and others had evacuated by water.
"Hey...it was a waste of time." Lu Lingqi and Zhao Xue looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.
Although most of the troops of the Wolf Cavalry Battalion were lent to Ma Chao, there were still nearly 4,000 soldiers. However, the farther south there were, the more rivers there were, and the cavalry had less and less room to use them.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
When they heard that their husband had made another almost astonishing military exploit, Lu Lingqi and others couldn't help but feel hot in their hearts.
"It's all my fault, sir..." Zhou Yan couldn't help but cooed beside him.
"How do you say this?" Hao Zhao happened to hear Zhou Yan's words and couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Yan glanced at Hao Zhao, narrowed his big eyes slightly, and said: "It would be better to enter Hanshui a little later. Look, everyone has run away now."
"That's right. It's strange that Lu Qiaoqi is so tough. He even beat Jiangdong Navy to the ground. Those Jingzhou soft-footed shrimps didn't run faster than fish even after seeing them!"
At this time, Lu Lingqi took half a step back and joined their conversation: "He can lead the infantry to defeat the powerful Xiliang army; he can lead the cavalry to defeat Yuan Shao and destroy Wuhuan; even he can lead the navy to defeat Jiangdong, which is known as the strongest in the world."
Navy Master...tsk tsk, he is indeed my man!"
"..." Mu De, what he said made sense. Zhao Xue and Zhou Yan were speechless.
Lu Lingqi's words left the other two speechless, but Hao Zhao interjected: "But General Gan is the real commander of the navy!"
Zhao Xue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she finally showed a smile.
My own man, that’s not bad either!
It's just that Zhou Yan looks a little melancholy, and her marriage to Zhao Yun has not been finalized yet.
Hao Zhao glanced at Lu Lingqi, who had a somewhat evil look in her eyes. He quickly apologized and withdrew from the group of women... "Murderous intent is everywhere! It's really scarier than a real battlefield!"
Hao Zhao shook his head and walked to the corner, not daring to join in the fun anymore.
Hearing that Pang Tong had run away, Jia Xu was upset and had to confess to Cao Cao: "My subordinates failed to see through Pang Tong's golden cicada escape plan, please punish me!"
Cao Cao's face didn't look very good either. The cooked duck flew away like this. It was really disappointing!
However, Cao Cao did not believe that the wily and cunning fox-like Jia Xu could not see that Pang Tong was about to run away.
"Wen He, I don't believe you can't see through Pang Tong's plan...Tell me, what back-up plan did you arrange?"
"Sure enough, the subordinates' little tricks can't be hidden from the master."
Jia Xu showed an expression of great admiration and complimented, and then said: "Yesterday, I ordered General Wei Wenchang to lead an army of 10,000 to attack Xinye. According to General Wenchang's ability, I guess he has captured Xinye."
"Oh? If we capture Xinye, then Jingbei will almost be under our control."
I lost Pang Tong, but being able to win Xinye is a good consolation.
...
For Pang Tong, after Jiangdong's army retreated, the situation began to deteriorate rapidly.
If you want to stop the loss in time, you must cut off your strength and give up what you should give up in order to save more things.
Pang Tong and others took a warship and went all the way south. After the Danjiang River entered the Han River, they were not far from Xiangyang.
"Sigh... If we retreat, Xinye and Fancheng may not be safe." Wenpin looked north of the Han River and said with a somewhat disappointed tone.
"Who would have thought that the Jiangdong Army was so unlucky that a hundred thousand troops could not take down Runan County for more than a month, but they actually turned around and lost to the Cao Army Navy... With such an ally, there is really nothing we can do.
Ah..." Li Yan said with a bitter smile.
Pang Tong stood on the bow of the ship, listening to the discussion of the generals behind him. He felt uneasy in his heart, "Since Cao Jun's navy has entered the Han River, it means that we may meet at any time."
"If they are really that powerful, can they escape by joining hundreds of small boats like ours?"
The more Pang Tong thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and the farther south he went, the more irritated he became.
"No...we can no longer take the waterway!"
When Pang Tong thought of this, he suddenly turned around and said decisively: "Everyone, give me the military order to march by land on the south bank of the Han River!"
"?"
After everyone heard Pang Tong's order, they were stunned.
What the hell is this?
It’s so nice to take a boat ride, why do we suddenly have to go by land?
Seeing this, Pang Tong explained: "Going further south, I'm afraid we will encounter Cao Jun's navy... We can't take risks."
Pang Tong's words undoubtedly pushed Jingzhou Navy's face to the ground and rubbed it back and forth.
Immediately, including Wenpin, several generals who were good at water warfare suddenly turned red from holding back their emotions.
"What the military advisor means is that we can't defeat Cao Jun's group of landlubbers???"
"The military advisor is too underestimated by our Jingzhou Navy!"
"Yes! Military advisor, are you a little too cautious?"
Pang Tong's face was a little cold, and his tone was even more chilly as he asked: "Ask yourselves, can you defeat the Jiangdong Navy?"
"Ah this..."
"There is still a chance that we can beat it..."
As soon as Pang Tong's question hit his mind, the red-faced generals in question turned red with embarrassment.
Can you survive a beating? You can survive a spanking!
Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others who are best at water warfare can compete with Jiangdong's navy, and they still lose more than they win. It's really hard for them to lead a fleet that doesn't even have ships to fight against Jiangdong's navy.
Fighting, isn't it like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
Although Wenpin and others felt ashamed and angry, they could not argue.
With no choice but to accept Pang Tong's military order, they approached the south bank of the Han River and switched from the waterway to the land route.
Facts have proved that Pang Tong’s sense of smell and judgment are the wisest!
They had walked less than twenty miles south along the Han River when suddenly someone in front pointed to the wide water surface of the Han River and exclaimed: "Look! There is a big ship in the Han River!"
!”
Pang Tong, Wenpin, Li Yan and others all looked toward Hanshui.
I saw huge, strange and monster-like warships slowly appearing on the wide surface of the Han River!
Looking at the huge ships sailing in the Han River, the Jingzhou soldiers all fell into silence at this moment.
Looking at the spectacular scene on the river, Fu Tong couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Damn it...Sun Quan only had a dozen large ships, but Cao Jun actually had nearly a hundred! Cao Cao is really wealthy!" Fu Tong's words pulled the others out of their thoughts.
Wenpin couldn't help but look back at Pang Tong who was riding on the horse, and praised sincerely: "It's not bad! Fortunately, the military advisor is so good at knowing things! Otherwise, if we encounter Cao Jun's navy, our hundreds of
A small boat, I’m afraid it’s not enough for people to fill their teeth…”
"The military advisor is wise!"
"This is really a lucky escape, the military advisor is wise!"
