The five hundred and sixtieth eight chapters Chibi decisive battle (5)
After Gan Ning left, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he suddenly asked Xu Sheng: "Are you General Xu Sheng?"
Xu Sheng was stunned by Xiao Qiao's shouting. He asked himself how Xiao Qiao, who had never met him, knew his name.
So, Xu Sheng asked in surprise: "How did Madam know my name?"
"My husband once mentioned it to me... He also said that he was sorry for you..."
Xu Sheng was silent. He didn't know whether what this woman said was true or false. Moreover, all the past merits and demerits had become a thing of the past, and it was meaningless to say so much more.
"Sorry ma'am, please come back to the ship with me."
Xiao Qiao stared deeply at Xu Sheng, knowing that she could not escape this disaster no matter what, she could only stand up and said to Xu Sheng: "Thank you, General, for taking care of me."
Xu Sheng nodded and stopped talking, assigning two personal guards to take Xiao Qiao to his warship.
When Xiao Qiao was heading to the warship, he was spotted by the personal guards sent by Zhou Yu to inquire about the situation.
But he didn't know how to talk to Zhou Yu. In his opinion, Zhou Yu was already furious and suffered serious internal injuries. If he was stimulated again, he wouldn't directly ascend to heaven, right?
...
Sun Quan led the army in a hurry towards the north bank of Red Cliff.
At this time, Cao Jun's navy, which had passed from Xiakou, was already fighting with Jiangdong navy.
Although the artillery and clipper tactics did take a lot of advantage in the beginning, the Jiangdong Navy still had two to three thousand warships, and it would take a lot of time to deal with each other.
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the navy led by Su Fei had the upper hand, but he remained calm and calm. He would not show a smile of victory until the enemy completely collapsed.
And it was his mentality that allowed him to avoid being attacked from both sides by the Jiangdong Navy!
A soldier on sentry duty spread the news to the ship from afar, and then the liaison soldier on the ship came to Su Fei and reported: "Commander, there is a Jiangdong warship coming behind us, and it is very fast!"
Su Fei did not panic and ordered decisively: "Send the order and the army will retreat to Xiahou!"
The messenger was a little surprised by Su Fei's decision, and asked subconsciously: "If we go back to Xiahou, wouldn't that release the enemy?"
"If we are attacked from both sides by the enemy, do you think we can stop it?" At this point, Su Fei also patiently explained: "Zhou Yu's army has all been dispatched, and there are reinforcements at this moment, which must be Sun Quan from Fankou.
Now. Sun Quan still has 100,000 naval troops, do you think we can stop their joint breakthrough?"
The messenger was suddenly enlightened and praised: "As expected of the commander, he considers the problem much more thoughtfully than me!"
Su Fei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, lightly kicked the messenger on the butt, and said: "Stop flattering and hurry up and deliver the order. If you are late, it will be too late!"
The battle had lasted a whole night so far, and with dawn approaching, the Jiangdong Army on the shore was almost desperate.
Although the officers and soldiers of Cao's army also experienced a night of hard fighting, they became more and more courageous as they fought and did not show any signs of fatigue.
Who doesn’t like the moment of harvesting military achievements? Whoever takes a step slower is a fool...
In fact, the Jiangdong Army's defeat was already doomed as early as the southeast wind blew.
All Zhou Yu's schemes were seen through, and what finally greeted them was a well-arranged pocket array.
Han Dang, covered with wounds, gasped and came to Cheng Pu and said, "Cao's army wants to kill us all, Demo, if we don't make changes, our army will die!"
Huang Gai also came to Cheng Pu, but he felt guilty about the failure of his surrender plan, so he said nothing and just looked at Cheng Pu and waited for him to make up his mind.
After resisting for a whole night, Jiangdong's soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The 150,000-strong army that landed ashore now had nearly 30,000 killed. If this continues, collapse may come at any time.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the Yangtze River behind them,
"Don't worry, Commander! The Lord has come to support us!"
"Don't worry, Commander! The Lord has come to support us!"
"What? The lord is here?!
"Huang Gai shouted in surprise, immediately walked a few steps to the river, and then looked around.
Sure enough, one after another Jiangdong warships began to approach the river bank, and the soldiers on the warships put down countless small boats and began to approach the river bank!
"The Lord is here! We are saved!"
"We can be saved! We can be saved!"
"Hahaha! I survived! I survived!"
However, Lu Meng felt that Sun Quan came in too easily...
With questioning eyes, Lu Meng re-examined the river surface, but he did not find anything unusual.
Sun Quan stood at the bow of the ship and saw his own army still resisting on the river bank from a distance.
Seeing that most of his army was still alive, Sun Quan felt happy and worried, but overall, he was quite satisfied.
A flash of fierceness flashed across Sun Quan's face and he ordered: "Send the order and launch the trebuchet towards the gathering place of Cao Cao's soldiers!"
"My lord has an order, send out the trebuchet!"
"put!"
Countless boulders fell from the sky from the river, and people in Cao's army's position suddenly fell on their backs.
Cao Cao, who was watching the battle from the sentry tower, saw this and immediately ordered his army to use artillery and trebuchets to fight back on the river.
The two sides began to exchange bombardments. Due to the lack of artillery in Cao's army, absolute suppression could not be achieved.
As the two sides interact with each other, the result is that both sides suffer considerable losses.
Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Lu Yan and asked: "Mr. Lu, why do I feel that your navy is missing?"
Lu Yan saw that Cao Cao had asked about the key point, so he smiled and replied: "Because I told Su Fei that if Sun Quan's reinforcements arrive, we will retreat immediately."
"?" Cao Cao was puzzled and continued to ask: "Then doesn't this give Sun Quan a chance to rescue the besieged army?"
"Mr. Cao, you killed a thousand enemies and wounded eight hundred. Although our army is elite, how much price will we have to pay in the end if we want to devour these troops in one go?" Lu Yan asked rhetorically.
So far in the war, Jiangdong Army has killed at least 20,000 people and seriously injured 10,000 people. However, Jiangdong Army's tenacious resistance has also cost Cao Jun nearly 15,000 casualties. The price is actually not small.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and then replied: "As long as Sun Quan's vitality is eliminated, I can bear the price no matter how high it is!"
Lu Yan shook his head and said: "There is a better way to capture Jiangdong, so why pay such a heavy price?"
"Huh?" Cao Cao finally woke up and asked with a hint of surprise in his tone: "Did you make arrangements in advance?"
"That's right..." Lu Yan nodded and began to explain to Cao Cao: "Gan Ning is very courageous, but he also has a keen sense of smell and can accurately seize opportunities. I sent him to raid Zhou Yu, but I did not assign him any assignments.
The mission after a successful sneak attack...
With a character that drives others crazy, he will definitely attack Zhou Yu's Chibi Camp after success.
Zhou Yu's entire army marched out, and the camp must not have many defenders. The 6,000 men led by Gan Ning and Xu Sheng are enough to capture the Red Cliff Camp!"
"This is one of them!" After finishing speaking, Lu Yan raised a finger.
Cao Cao was very excited after hearing this, so he asked: "Is there another one?"
"nature!"
Lu Yan raised his second finger and said: "Secondly, if Sun Quan's army comes to rescue, the whole army will definitely be dispatched. Su Fei retreats now and turns to attack Fankou, and he can take the Fankou camp in one fell swoop.
!
Both camps of the Jiangdong Army were lost. Without supplies and logistics, even if these defeated soldiers were rescued, they could only flee in disgrace.
After controlling these two water strongholds, our army can cross the river calmly.
Let me ask, who else can stop our army from attacking the city and taking the territory at that time?"
After listening to Lu Yan's analysis, Cao Cao's vision suddenly broadened, "Yes! Why should I always insist on completely wiping out the navy in Jiangdong? As long as we capture the two important places of Chibi and Fankou, our army will be able to break through.
Difficulties crossing the river!"
"Hahaha!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he suddenly laughed, then took Lu Yan's hand and said, "Mr. Lu..."
Before Cao Cao could say anything, Lu Yan shook off his hand and made a silent gesture: "Stop talking, it's disgusting."
