Chaohu Lake is a large lake in the Jiujiang area, about 70 miles from north to south, more than 60 miles from east to west at its widest point, and 15 miles at its narrowest point.
After the Jiangdong Navy completely retreated into the lake, Lu Lingqi really had nothing to do with them. However, there was still more than a hundred miles of waterway from the edge of Chao Lake to the river. After Lu Lingqi was sure that they could not pursue the enemy, she prepared to intercept them in the river.
The Jiangdong naval forces inflicted another heavy blow on the enemy before they entered the river.
Cheng Pu obviously understood this truth, so after retreating into the lake, he immediately ordered the navy to advance at full speed, trying to enter the river first before the enemy intercepted him.
"There are three waterways for the army to retreat from Chaohu to Dajiang. One is located in the southwest and is closest to our army. However, after entering the river, it winds and twists and turns, passing through Linhu, Xiang'an and other places. It takes at least 150 days to walk.
It takes ten miles to enter the river; the other two entrances are at one place, both in the southeast direction, the farthest from our army, but the enemy has to take a longer detour. From there, one goes straight to the river, but it is relatively narrow.
The journey is about one hundred and twenty miles, and the other one turns around. After entering the river, the other side is Niuzhu. The distance is slightly longer, about one hundred and forty miles." Zhu Zhi brought the map and showed it to everyone. At the same time, he probably
Talk about the distance.
Sun Quan looked at the map silently. This time he did not offer any advice. Instead, he looked at Cheng Pu and said, "What do you think, General Demou?"
Cheng Pu looked at the map, thought for a moment and then saluted Sun Quan and said: "My lord, I think this waterway in the southwest is impassable. Although it is fast, it is winding along the way and the waterway leads to the village. The enemy can just go overland to catch up."
Overtaking our army, Lu Lingqi's cavalry is very fast and can easily catch up with our army. The southeast waterway seems to be further away, but if the enemy army wants to catch up with our army, they will have to go around half of Chaohu Lake. It is more difficult to pursue, and
The water channel here is wide, so even if we are overtaken, our army will have room to fight back."
Cheng Pu's suggestion was undoubtedly excellent. Sun Quan made a rough calculation and chose the second route. Although it would take them nearly a hundred miles to enter the river, the enemy would have to go around two hundred miles to catch up with them. During this period, there were still
Some mountains, hills, and some not-so-wide rivers need to be crossed, which can further hinder the enemy's progress.
As a result, unless the enemy's speed is twice their sailing speed, it is impossible to catch up with them.
"Okay, just follow the general's instructions and send an order to the three armies to speed up the ship." Sun Quan nodded.
In fact, the ship was already traveling at their fastest speed. No matter how Sun Quan urged, he could not speed up any more.
On the other side, Lu Lingqi was running around the river bank, but she saw the enemy warships running further and further away. She frowned. At this speed, not only would they be thrown away by the enemy forces, but the Qiao sisters would also not be able to arrive to intercept them before the enemy forces retreated.
.
"Where are the Qiao sisters now?" Lu Lingqi stopped her horse and asked.
The soldiers shook their heads when they heard this. The Qiao sisters had left first, but they didn't know where they went.
"Hurry up and join Mr. Ziyang!" Lu Lingqi made a decisive decision and returned to the army to join Liu Ye.
Naturally, Liu Ye's army was not moving as fast as Lu Lingqi. After meeting up with Lu Lingqi, Liu Ye looked at Lu Lingqi with a wry smile and said, "General, Jiangdong is good at water warfare. If we use the power of water to move away now, it will be difficult for our army to catch up."
He took the map and gave it to Lu Lingqi after a rough sketch and said: "If the speed of the boat is supported by the military formation, it will not be slower than the speed of the infantry. However, our army has to cover twice the distance. Except for the cavalry, the other soldiers are afraid
It is difficult to intercept the enemy troops before they enter the river."
Qiao Shu looked at Lu Lingqi. Her two sisters had not made any achievements since they joined Lu Lingqi's command. At this time, they were somewhat eager to try, especially after Lu Lingqi defeated the enemy's formation eight hundred times. When she heard Liu Ye say this, she couldn't help but feel in her heart.
Somewhat frustrated.
Lu Lingqi glanced at the map for a while and then nodded and said: "The sisters from the Qiao family called Ghost Back Spider are coming with me. Sir, he will lead his troops to assemble here..."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a cry from above. When he looked up, he saw the plump figure of the pigeon demon flapping its wings and falling from the sky.
"Gugu~"
The pigeon demon landed and handed Chu Nan's letters to Lu Lingqi and Liu Ye respectively.
"You came just in time, Pigeon Demon, I need your help at this time!" Lu Lingqi did not read the letter, put it in her arms, and looked at the Pigeon Demon with burning eyes.
"Gu~?" The pigeon demon has a bad feeling. Isn't it coming here to join the war again? It's just a homing pigeon.
"When you take the white dragon into the water, don't get close to the enemy. Just use means to slow down the enemy's advance." Lu Lingqi asked the little white dragon to go with him to help. They also have a navy, and now they have an air force.
, not to mention defeating the enemy, but intercepting and delaying the enemy to buy them more time can always be done.
"Gu~gu!" The pigeon demon didn't want to agree. The pain on the battlefield in Xuchang has not yet fully healed!
But as soon as the emotion was expressed, the mistress' eyes became sharp, her shaking head immediately stopped, and she nodded solemnly towards Lu Lingqi.
Then he grabbed the little white dragon and spread his wings and flew towards Chao Lake.
"Sir, Lingqi is not capable enough to command the army, so the army will be entrusted to sir!" After arranging the pigeon demon and the little white dragon, Lu Lingqi turned her head and looked at Liu Ye and said, "A Zhu and the others, Lingqi, took them away."
"General, I will leave this place to you!" Liu Ye nodded. He was originally planning to stick to Xiaoyaojin and wait for reinforcements, but after this battle, it seems that he no longer has to wait for the reinforcements sent by Chu Nan.
It is best to inform Chu Nan of this matter in writing as soon as possible.
The Central Plains should be very short of troops now.
"Let's go!" After a brief explanation, Lu Lingqi waved to Ah Zhu and the Qiao sisters, signaling the Qiao sisters to quickly get on the Spider and follow her to intercept Jiang Dongjun.
Qiao Ying and Qiao Shu are very resistant to riding on spiders, but they have no choice. If they ride horses, they are likely to fall behind. Lu Lingqi's first principle in training is to overcome all difficulties that are not life-threatening, including some likes and dislikes. Naturally, they are even more reluctant at this moment.
Maybe it makes them act coquettishly.
However, although the appearance of this ghost-backed spider makes girls resist, when it comes to running, its eight legs are far more stable than the four legs of a horse. Sitting on it, you can't feel too much bumps, and it even makes the two sisters develop my riding skills.
It's actually a good illusion.
On the road again, eight hundred cavalry came running, and Lu Lingqi had the opportunity to read the letter sent by Chu Nan. However, the letter was basically official, including that Cao Cao died in battle, and they were about to capture Xuchang, so they could not send reinforcements for the time being to allow them to overcome
A bit difficult.
Although Lu Lingqi also knew that this was not the time to talk about the love between children, she still felt a little disappointed when she saw that her husband did not have any personal words in the letter, until she read the end:
I know that your husband's ability will definitely turn things around. Nanding will send generals to support him as soon as possible. However, before that, I hope that you will take more care of your wife and help her to defend Hefei. I think you also know that if Hefei is there, Jianghuai will be there, and Hefei will be there.
If it fails, Jianghuai will not be protected. I hope you will take the trouble!
Obviously, this is a letter to Liu Ye, and the letter in Liu Ye's hand is for her. The fat pigeon was given to the wrong person!
Lu Lingqi silently put away the letter, feeling a low pressure emanating from her body.
"Sister Lu, but the war in the Central Plains is not going well?" Qiao Ying was keenly aware of the change in Lu Lingqi's mood and asked a little worriedly.
"No, it went very well. Cao Cao was killed by his father in the battle, and Xuchang will not be able to leave soon." Lu Lingqi said expressionlessly.
"Then why does my sister look like this?" Qiao Shu asked directly, somewhat outspoken.
"I just want to eat roasted squab! My husband's cooking skills are very good. I will take my two sisters to taste it in the future!" There was a hint of chill in Lu Lingqi's calm voice, which made the Qiao sisters instantly silenced.
The pigeon demon who had already flown over Chao Lake suddenly shuddered and threw the little white dragon in his claws into the lake. He flapped his wings leisurely and chased after the Jiangdong fleet. He flapped his wings and sent two whirlwinds flying.
Suddenly, the calm lake surface began to ripple!
On the other side, Liu Ye also ordered the army to move forward again, preparing to rush to the river as soon as possible to meet Lu Lingqi. Naturally, the speed on his side could not be faster. After Liu Ye used the military formation on the carriage, the march was taken by the generals accompanying him. He
Then he opened Chu Nan's letter in the carriage.
His face gradually became stiff, and after a while, he silently rolled up the bamboo slips, and could only re-seal them with fire paint in words.
"Sir, what did you say in your letter?" A general who was following him in the carriage asked curiously when he saw him closing the letter.
"I haven't seen it, and there is no need to see it. Now that the war is going smoothly, there is no need for reinforcements over there." Liu Ye shook his head lightly.
"Sir, it was clear just now..." The general looked at Liu Ye in astonishment.
"I said, I have never read the letter." Liu Ye turned around, stared at the general and said seriously.
There was a moment of confusion in the general's eyes, and then he looked at Liu Ye blankly, opened his mouth, but couldn't remember what he wanted to say. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Sir, don't you take a look at your envoy's letter?"
"The war is over now. It won't be too late until Jiangdong's army is completely defeated!" Liu Ye said calmly.
"Yes, General Lu is worthy of being the daughter of the lord. After this battle, who among the heroes in the world dares to underestimate the general's daughter!" the general laughed.
yes.
Liu Ye nodded. Although he had seen Lu Lingqi's bravery, before today, he never believed that Lu Lingqi could turn the tide of this battle on her own. Being able to defend Hefei was a success.
Lu Lingqi's performance really shocked him, not only the bravery shown in this battle, but also the commanding ability shown by Lu Lingqi in this battle, as well as her keen insight into the battle situation and the thousands of troops.
With his calm and composed spirit, if he were born a man, he would probably be as good as any top warrior in the world in the future, right?
It's a pity that as a woman, I don't know whether she is lucky or unfortunate. Chu Nan dotes on her so much and allows her to go into battle to kill the enemy. For her, she is probably lucky...
