"Grand Governor, just now the Feilong Army came towards us, but suddenly it seemed to have retreated a distance." Huang Gai suddenly raised his head and said: "So, the Feilong Army we saw after that was General Zhou."
"Are you saying that the Feilong Army took the opportunity to leave?" Zhou Yu frowned and said, "If what you said is true and it is true that we encountered the Feilong Army, then the Feilong Army must still be nearby."
"General, the whereabouts of the Feilong Army have been discovered three miles away." At this moment, a dead soldier of the Guards ran over and said.
"Just behind the woods, the Feilong Army has passed through the woods and headed west." The dead man pointed to a woods not far away.
"What?" Zhou Yu and others all exclaimed in surprise. At this time, everyone did not know that they and others were fooled by Wenpin. Wenpin led him and others here, and he did bring Feilong with him.
The army passed through the woods and got rid of the encirclement of Jiangdong soldiers and horses.
"Grand Governor, what should we do now? The Feilong Army is extremely powerful. Now that it has escaped the siege of the army, it will be difficult to catch up." Huang Gai looked worried. The Feilong Army was strong and fast. Compared with
Ordinary Jiangdong soldiers are much faster. If they encircle the Feilong Army, they can still keep the Feilong Army behind. But now that the Feilong Army has broken away from the encirclement, it will be difficult to catch up with the Feilong Army again.
"Chase, no matter what, we can't let go of the Feilong Army." Zhou Yu only hesitated for a moment and immediately ordered the pursuit.
Tens of thousands of troops, led by the dead soldiers, bypassed the woods and pursued in the direction the Feilong Army left.
Not long after, Taishi Ci and Han Dang arrived here with their troops.
"What's going on? Where are the Feilong Army? Where are the governors?" Han Dang shouted to the few people who stayed behind.
"General Qi, the Governor and General Zhou are going to pursue the Feilong Army together." A soldier bowed.
"Isn't there already a fight? How come you let the Feilong Army escape?" Taishi Ci frowned.
"That was not the Feilong Army just now. The Feilong Army brought the Governor and General Zhou together, causing the Governor and General Zhou to almost fight." The soldier said cautiously.
"This..." Taishi Ci and Han Dang looked at each other with surprise in their hearts.
"Wenpin actually had such a method and was able to escape in such a killing situation. He is truly worthy of being one of the two great generals in Jingzhou." Taishi Ci took a deep breath, feeling a little shocked in his heart.
"Hateful! Wenpin was allowed to run away. He finally found the opportunity. Could it be that Wenpin had divine help? He was able to escape under such circumstances. It is really hateful!" Han Dang had a look of resentment on his face and felt sorry for Wenpin's escape in his heart.
Worrying about it.
"That's where the Governor and the others are going." Taishi Ci was the first to react. Since he had not received Zhou Yu's order, he wanted to pursue the Feilong Army.
"General, Jiangdong's army is chasing us."
"Don't worry about them. Order the army to join the others as quickly as possible." Wenpin shook his head and didn't care. He was extremely confident in Feilongwei. Since he had broken out of the encirclement, he would not be overtaken.
Half an hour later, Wenpin led 5,000 flying dragon troops to join the others. The 15,000 flying dragon troops who had left earlier had prepared simple defense facilities on the hill.
"Grand Governor, the Feilong Army has fled to the hill."
"Catch up and surround the hill." Zhou Yu was stunned and then ordered. He thought Wenpin would leave with Feilongwei, but he didn't expect Wenpin not to escape.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Yu led an army of 30,000 people and rushed to the foot of the hill.
Looking at the Feilong Army who were waiting on the hill, Zhou Yu's face was extremely gloomy. He could see how extraordinary this place was as soon as he arrived. The Feilong Army was condescending to defend this place. No matter how many Jiangdong soldiers and horses there were, they would not be able to attack in one day.
Come down. And if you want to get around to the back of the Feilong Army, it will be impossible without a day and a half. The most important thing is that Jiangdong's army cannot stay here for a day or two. The situation in Jiangdong is already dangerous enough now, but in a moment
Don't dare to delay.
"Grand Governor, what should we do now? Although this hill is not big, if the Feilong Army is really stationed here, they will not be able to attack it in a short time." Huang Gai looked at the situation of the Feilong Army on the hill and shook his head.
of helplessness.
"Is it possible to just let the Feilong Army go? This place is not far from the main camp. All the situation of the army is under the surveillance of the Feilong Army. It is not easy for the army to get rid of the Feilong Army's surveillance." Although Zhou Tai has a bad temper.
, but he is not stupid at all.
While they were talking, Taishi Ci and Han Dang rushed over with their troops and horses.
"Grand Governor, where is the Feilong Army?" Han Dang shouted before he could reach Zhou Yu.
"Over there." Zhou Tai pointed to the hill.
"This..." Han Dang stared blankly at the Feilong Army on the hill, speechless.
Taishi Ci, who was behind Han Dang, looked at the Feilong Army on the hill, shook his head and sighed helplessly. It was really difficult for the Feilong Army to capture the high ground and defend the Feilong Army.
"Withdraw troops!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said word by word as he looked at the Feilong Army on the hill.
"This..., did the Governor just let the Feilong Army go like this?" Han Dang said in surprise.
"The Feilong Army has been prepared. It is too difficult to attack." Zhou Yu shook his head and turned to leave.
……………………………………………………………………………………
"General, Jiangdong's army has withdrawn." A young general pointed to the Jiangdong soldiers and horses that were gradually retreating down the mountain, with a look of joy on his face.
Wenpin nodded, looking a little more relaxed.
It was a risk to get rid of Jiangdong's army just now. If Zhou Yu had gathered his cavalry to hold off the Feilong Army just now, the Feilong Army would have been in danger. Even Wenpin's character was broken into a cold sweat just now. He really didn't expect Jiangdong's soldiers.
The Jockey Club made a sneak attack at this time. No matter how confident Wenpin was, he did not dare to say that his 20,000 soldiers and horses could defeat Jiangdong's 100,000 troops.
"Send the order. From now on, the situation of Jiangdong's army will be reported back every half an hour. The number of open and secret sentries will be doubled. Be careful and alert." Wenpin turned his head and looked at the several Feilong guards on the side. At this time, he could no longer
He didn't dare to be careless, and he didn't dare to neglect the methods of Jiangdong's army.
"Don't worry, General, there will definitely be no mistakes this time." A young general from the Feilong Guard said solemnly.
…………………………………………………………………………
"My lord, I have finally failed my lord's trust. Please punish me, general." At this time, in the Jiangdong camp, Zhou Yu and others knelt down in front of Sun Ce with their faces full of shame.
"My lord, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. Although Gong Jin did not severely damage the Feilong Army this time, Gongjin was able to make the Feilong Army flee in embarrassment, which has not happened in several years. Therefore, Gongjin not only has no fault but has merit."
Zhang Hong stood up and looked at Sun Ce. At this time, Jiangdong was in troubled times, and Sun Ce was leading an army outside. It was really not the time to punish the generals, and Zhang Hong didn't think Zhou Yu had done anything wrong.
"Zigang is right. Although Gong Jin did not severely damage the Feilong Army, he was able to make Wenpin escape in embarrassment, which is already a meritorious service to Jiangdong. Several other people led troops and horses to surround the Feilong Army. They also contributed a lot. This matter will wait until they return to Jiangdong.
Let’s talk.” Sun Ce stood up, his face calm, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
"For now, it's business to think about how to return to Jiangdong." Sun Ce looked at everyone with calm expressions. Since the last time he heard Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce's state of mind has changed greatly, becoming more and more mature, and no longer acts as casually as before.
"Tell me how to return to Jiangdong?" Sun Ce helped Zhou Yu and others up, returned to their seats and looked at them.
"My Lord, the current army is only half a day's journey from Chaisang. The Flying Tiger Army blocked Jiangdong's retreat, and the Flying Dragon Army pursued them. If the Lord wants to return to Jiangdong safely, he needs two generals to resist the Flying Dragon Army behind him.
and Chai Sang's Flying Tiger Army, but this will inevitably cause losses to Jiangdong's troops and horses, and the two remaining generals also need generals who are used to fighting and know how to adapt." Zhang Hong thought for a while and bowed.
Shen Dao.
Although Zhang Hong did not say it clearly, everyone knew that staying would mean suffering a violent blow. The Feilong Army and the Feihu Army were the elites of Jingzhou, and the remaining generals would lose their lives if they were not careful.
"My lord, the most important thing now is that my lord can return to Jiangdong. As long as my lord returns to Jiangdong, we can fight with Jingzhou. Even if we suffer some losses, it will be nothing." Zhou Tai took a step forward and said decisively.
In Zhou Tai's heart, Sun Ce's safety determines the safety of Jiangdong. Even if everyone dies in the battle, as long as Sun Ce can return to Jiangdong, Jiangdong will have hope. If Sun Ce dies, Jiangdong will also be defeated.
"That's right, we just need the lord to return to Jiangdong, and I will hold off the Feilong Army and the Flying Tiger Army in Jiangxia. Then the lord will send someone to come and take care of him." Han Dang also stepped forward to persuade.
"My lord, although the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army are extraordinary in strength, I, Jiangdong, cannot be manipulated by anyone. I don't know who will win when the time comes. I would like to see how powerful the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army are." Taishi Ci
He smiled and said, although he did not persuade Sun Ce out loud, the meaning behind his words was extremely obvious.
"You don't need to say any more, how can I be the one who escaped from the battle?" Seeing everyone like this, Sun Ce was moved and shook his head to refuse.
"You don't have to be like this. Our Jiangdong army of 100,000 people will be defeated at any time. It has been a long time since I personally went into battle to kill the enemy. This is an opportunity." Sun Ce stood up suddenly, and his fighting spirit burst out, letting everyone in the big tent.
Everyone's blood was boiling.
"Haha, I haven't fought side by side with my lord for a long time. How can those little bastards in Jingzhou be able to resist my lord." As if infected by Sun Ce's momentum, Taishi Ci also stepped forward and said loudly.
"Haha, I haven't charged with my lord for a long time."
Everyone in the big tent knew Sun Ce best than Zhou Yu. From the beginning, he knew that Sun Ce would never agree to let him return to Jiangdong first. Although Sun Ce had changed a lot in the past few days, the arrogance in his bones was still there.
He and Sun Ce seemed to get along with each other, and Zhou Yu could feel the pride in Sun Ce's heart.
