Cars and boats, Yan Liang’s cars and boats!
Zhou Yu was shocked.
Yan Liang's fleet of vehicles and ships was still in Xiakou. How could it suddenly appear in Hukou from Xiakou hundreds of miles away without any detection?
Countless questions flashed through Zhou Yu's mind in an instant?
When the officers and soldiers of the Wu Army under his command saw the appearance of Yan Army's chariots and ships, they were so frightened that they almost collapsed.
Many of the soldiers here were survivors of the Battle of Fankou. They had personally experienced the terrifying attack power of vehicles and ships. The experience of that disastrous defeat left an indelible shadow in the hearts of many people.
Now, seeing such a terrifying warship again, how could they not be terrified?
A commotion broke out suddenly, and some Wu troops who were so frightened began to turn their boats around even before the battle started, trying to escape downstream at any time.
At this time, Zhou Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he finally understood the truth.
It turns out that the purpose of Yan Liang's alienation plan was not to get Sun Quan to remove his difficult opponent.
Yan Liang had long expected that in order to prove his innocence, he, Zhou Yu, would take the initiative to attack Hukou. In order to induce him to take the bait, Yan Liang deliberately created the illusion that his defenses were lax.
At the same time, Yan Liang's fleet of vehicles and ships had already secretly arrived at Chaisang, waiting for him to launch a sudden attack from the side after Zhou Yu led his army to attack Chaisang.
Yan Liang's real purpose was to completely annihilate the main force of the Wu Army's navy.
"This Yan Liang can actually come up with such a weird chain of tricks. Is he a human or a devil?"
Zhou Yu felt an unprecedented chill from head to toe. For the first time in his life, he felt deeply afraid of Yan Liang.
In a moment of surprise, Yan Jun's fleet of vehicles and ships was rapidly approaching, and the big flag with the word "Gan" was flying in a mighty manner.
Yan's army came very quickly, and Wu's army was in panic across the board.
Zhou Yu, on the other hand, recovered from his fright, and infinite anger surged out of his handsome face.
"Yan Liang is a thief. After several humiliations, I, Zhou Yu, will fight to the death with you today!"
Zhou Yu was so angry that he ignored the morale of his troops and planned to turn the ship around and force a decisive battle with the fleet of vehicles and ships commanded by Gan Ning.
At this moment, hundreds of warships in the west disobeyed Zhou Yu's orders and took the lead in leaving the battlefield and fleeing downstream.
The retreating army was the right-wing fleet commanded by Lu Su.
Zhou Yu's expression changed drastically, and he never expected that Lu Su would escape from the battle.
"Send the command flag quickly and stop Lu Su!" Zhou Yu shouted.
The flag on the flagship was waved sharply, but Lu Su did not listen at all. Instead, as the right commander, he ordered the entire army to retreat to Wankou.
Zhou Yu's prestige began to fade, and more and more warships began to join Lu Su's fleeing team. In a moment, except for some naval forces who were loyal to Zhou Yu, nearly half of the Wu army had joined the retreating team.
Inside the water camp.
Lu Meng, who had withstood the baptism of stone bullets, and his thrilling soldiers were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Lü Meng, who was good at using troops, saw Wu Jun's thunderbolt boats retreating and a large number of fighting ships and ships rushing towards the top. He keenly realized that Wu Jun was planning to take advantage of the situation and attack the water camp.
After dozens of rounds of stone bombs, almost half of the defenses along the coast were destroyed. Even the warships parked in the waterway were hit to varying degrees. In addition, the loss of soldiers reached nearly a thousand.
In this unfavorable situation, if the Wu people forcefully attack, it is still unknown whether they can withstand it.
Even so, Lu Meng had no other choice. He was determined to die and had to hold on no matter what.
Just when Lu Meng was scolding his soldiers and preparing to fight to the death, an accident suddenly happened.
He discovered that instead of approaching his water camp, the Wu army's fleet, showing off its might, actually started to retreat to the east.
Moreover, what was originally a large-scale retreat quickly turned into a large group of people fleeing. In just a moment, nearly half of Wu's ships joined the fleeing ranks.
The officers and soldiers of the Yan army on the shore who were determined to fight to the death were stunned by the Wu people's inexplicable retreat.
Lu Meng was also surprised. He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly rode up the bank. From a high position, he looked far away. Sure enough, he could vaguely see a large number of ships heading towards the west of the Yangtze River.
Infinite surprise flashed across Lu Meng's blood-stained face.
He knew that those were Yan Liang's reinforcements, and they finally arrived.
The time has come. If we don't counterattack now, we'll wait until later.
"My lord's reinforcements have arrived. The whole army obeys the order and fights out of the camp to defeat the enemy -"
Lu Meng excitedly danced with his spear and roared, and when the order was passed, the whole army was excited. These Yan Jun soldiers who had been patient for a long time quickly rushed to the warship one by one without any encouragement and set sail out of the stronghold.
From the left camp to the right camp, Lü Meng and Ling Tong led nearly 20,000 naval warriors and more than 500 large and small warships, like giant sharks out of their cages, rushing out to attack the Wu fleet that was in retreat.
Gan Ning, who was moving down the river from the west, had also led his army to approach, forming a response to Lü Meng and other troops at Hukou.
The rumbling war drums soared into the sky, and Yan Jun's flag filled the sky with great force. At this time, Zhou Yu had fallen into the bottom of anger and disappointment.
Lu Su's retreat before the battle, and Yan Jun's combined internal and external attacks had shattered his remaining hopes.
"Lu Su harmed the country, Lu Su harmed the country——"
Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and sighed. He had no choice but to order the warships following him to retreat to the east.
Thirty thousand Wu troops retreated in a panic, all the way back towards Wankou Fortress.
This time, Yan Liang would not give Wu Jun a chance to retreat safely.
Yan Liang's order to Gan Ning and Lu Meng was to pursue and fight the Wu army until they could no longer pursue them, and then they could stop.
So the two naval armies joined forces on the Yangtze River and followed the hasty Wu army in pursuit all the way.
One day later, the deserters and pursuers arrived at the waters of Wankou Fortress.
After a day and night of pursuit, the Wu army had lost nearly one-third of its troops. Now seeing the camp in front of them, neither Zhou Yu nor Lu Su dared to enter.
There is no other reason for this, but because Yan Jun's fleet was following too closely. If Wu Jun fled into the camp, Yan Jun would have taken advantage of the situation and entered Wankou Camp before he could set up defenses.
At that time, the Wu army, which has lost its military morale, will be left at the mercy of the enemy.
As a last resort, Zhou Yu and Lu Su could only abandon this indestructible fortress that they had worked so hard to build, and continued to flee downstream.
The 30,000 naval troops led by Gan Ning and Lu Meng saw that the Wu army did not flee to the Wankou camp, so they did not launch an attack. They ignored the camp and continued to pursue the main force of the Wu army.
At this time, the Anhui camp had only a thousand defenders and only one general, Jiang Qin. This force was far less than the 15,000 soldiers and horses who defended Chaisang back then, and could not threaten Yan's army's retreat at all.
Therefore, Gan Ning and others would abandon it and leave it to the subsequent troops to deal with it.
On the trestle, a shadow of snow was still messy in the wind.
The river breeze caressed her three thousand black hair, and the strands of black hair covered half of her face, giving her a thrilling beauty.
At this time, Xiao Qiao was bathing in the river breeze, waiting for his husband's triumphant return.
Just over an hour ago, the sentinel boat patrolling the river sent back an urgent report, claiming that a large number of our own warships were returning to Wankou Camp upstream.
After Xiao Qiao heard the news, he thought it was his own Mizuro who was returning victoriously.
The delighted Xiao Qiao, like many soldiers who stayed behind, ran to the shore one after another to greet the victorious soldiers.
Xiao Qiao, who had been standing in the wind for more than an hour, finally saw the shadow of her battleship. But soon, like everyone who greeted her, her originally expectant expression turned into one of extreme surprise.
The embarrassed warships came in a hurry, with no intention of returning to camp. They passed directly in front of the Wankou Fortress and continued to speed downstream.
In a situation like that, instead of returning victorious, it is simply fleeing in defeat.
Xiao Qiao even saw the shadow of Zhou Yu's flagship, but the familiar building ship also did not enter the camp, but retreated eastward with the strong current.
At this time, Xiao Qiao and the soldiers who stayed behind realized that the soldiers who went on the expedition were most likely defeated, and the subsequent arrival of a large number of enemy ships quickly confirmed their suspicions.
Seeing the endless enemy ships speeding past the river like tigers and wolves, Xiao Qiao and all the soldiers who stayed behind were stunned and stunned.
"How is it possible, how is it possible that my husband could lose to that Yan Liang, how is it possible..."
The frightened Xiao Qiao was heartbroken and unable to accept this cruel fact.
"Madam, our army has been severely defeated. Yan Jun's large group of soldiers and horses will attack soon. The Wankou Fortress cannot be defended. Please follow the general and retreat to Wan County."
Jiang Qin, who was galloping over on horseback, shouted with a solemn expression.
Seeing her husband abandoning her and running away first, Xiao Qiao was even more heartbroken.
With no choice, Xiao Qiao could only follow Jiang Qin's arrangement.
Therefore, Jiang Qin protected Xiao Qiao and led a thousand frightened defenders to abandon the Wankou Fortress and fled toward Wan County, the seat of Lujiang County on the upper reaches of the Wan River.
Not long after Jiang Qin abandoned his defense at Wankou, another Yanjun naval force arrived on the river here.
Those were the three thousand Tiger Guard troops led by Yan Liang himself.
These three thousand Tiger Guard troops were all elite land warriors, but they were not good at water warfare. Originally, Chiang Qin was able to defend the enemy with a thousand water troops.
But at this time, Jiang Qin fled in fear. Yan Liang and his three thousand landlubbers captured the Wankou empty camp without any effort.
After several months, Yan Liang finally set foot on this solid fortress that made him hate it so much. He rode his horse into the empty fortress. Yan Liang was filled with emotions.
It was this strong fortress that almost ruined his plan to defeat Sun Wu. If Pang Tong hadn't appeared in time and presented his weird serial alienation plan, how would he have been able to set foot here today.
When he learned that the guard general Jiang Qin had led his remaining troops to retreat to Wan County, Yan Liang asked: "Where are Zhang Wenyuan's infantry and cavalry?"
"Back to my lord, General Zhang's troops are already forty miles southwest of Wan County. I believe we can complete the siege of Wan County tomorrow." Zhou Cang replied.
Yan Liang nodded, turned his gaze to the north, raised his whip and said: "Send the whole army to go north, capture Wan County first, and then go east to meet Xingba and the others." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster. !)
