Chapter five hundred and seventy sixth defeat Jiangdong again
Chapter 576: Defeat Jiangdong again and want to retreat
"Retreat!" Seeing thick smoke on both sides, Sun Quan hesitated and then ordered to retreat. Compared to Wuling, the Fuguan camp is more important. After all, there are 100,000 troops there, as well as food and grass, and countless supplies! When Sun Quan heard
After receiving the order, Lu Meng no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops. However, no one expected that Wuling had indeed been captured, but the Fuguan camp was as stable as Mount Tai!
"Zijing, what do you think Zhou Yu is doing?" When he got up in the morning, he saw Zhou Yu's soldiers doing inexplicable things. Zhu Zhi really didn't understand, so he called Lu Su over!
"Zhou Yu is so wise, I can't guess what he wants to do! However, the general should be careful and be careful of his tricks!" Watching Zhou Yu command the soldiers to cut down the big trees one after another, chop them into firewood, and then carry them to Jiangdong.
The army was piled up in front of the camp, and Lu Su was also confused! However, he believed that Zhou Yu would not do useless work, so he monitored at the camp gate!
How strong is the felling ability of 50,000 soldiers? Even if two people chop down a tree and eight people carry it, they can chop down 5,000 trees at one time. Of course Zhou Yu did not need that many. He only sent 10,000 soldiers to chop down trees, and also sent
Ten thousand soldiers chopped the tree into firewood. When Lu Su knew what he wanted to do, he could no longer stop him!
A fire, a raging fire soared into the sky. There were piles of firewood, and tung oil was poured on them. After a torch passed, Lu Su and Zhu Zhi were stunned! Looking at the thick smoke billowing over the fire, and then looking at Zhou Yu behind the fire, Lu
Su was shocked and said: "General Zhu, he is deceiving the lord to return to the army. Hurry up and lead your troops to put out the fire!"
"Give me the order to go out and put out the fire!" Zhu Zhi was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Lu Su meant. He mobilized his troops and prepared to put out the fire. But since Zhou Yu decided to attract Sun Quan's attention, how could he let others interfere with his plan?
? Before Jiangdong's army left the camp, they were shot back by a hail of arrows. Liu Zhang's army's strong bows and crossbows were not for nothing!
Seeing that the village gate and wall, which he relied on for survival, had turned into obstacles, Zhu Zhi was a little at a loss. He pulled Lu Su and asked: "Zijing, our army can't rush out, what should we do?"
"This..." Lu Su was also a little numb. He really didn't expect Zhou Yu to use this method, and he also knew that Zhou Yu had two purposes in doing this. One was to attract Sun Quan to return for reinforcements, and the other was to lure Jiangdong's army out of the camp.
An obvious conspiracy is more difficult to deal with than a conspiracy! After thinking for a long time, Lu Su gritted his teeth and said: "General Zhu, if the lord sees the fireworks and comes back to help, everything will be over! Do you dare to take a gamble and tear down the wall?
, the whole army attacked Zhou Yu?"
"Tear down the wall?" Zhu Zhi hesitated and said, "Zijing, there is still a lot of supplies in the camp. If the wall is demolished and Zhou Yu takes the opportunity to plunder and burn our army's food and grass, what should we do with the supplies?"
Lu Su did not answer, but narrowed his eyes and asked: "Compared with Wuling, which one has more supplies in the camp?"
"Of course it's Wuling!" Zhu Zhi suddenly realized, he smiled slightly and said: "I was confused! Send the order, tear down the gate and wall of the village, and follow me out of the camp!"
"Boom boom..." After several loud noises, the gate and wall of Jiangdong Army collapsed, and groups of Jiangdong soldiers rushed towards Zhou Yu's army. Zhou Yu was not surprised when he saw this, but was overjoyed. He left a group of people to guard the fire.
He piled up and ordered his soldiers to form a formation to prepare to meet the enemy! Although Jiangdong's soldiers were twice as many as Zhou Yu's army, Zhu Zhi still left some people to guard the supplies in the camp, so the strength of the two armies was much closer! More
What's more, Zhou Yu's wisdom can also make up for some gaps!
The infantry of Liu Zhang's army are famously elite. Even though they are fewer than those of Jiangdong's army, they are not inferior. Although Zhu Zhi is a general of Jiangdong, his martial arts is almost the same as Zhou Yu's, and he is also a Confucian general. Since both of them are Confucian generals
, we can only compete with whose soldiers are more elite! However, when it comes to the art of command, Zhou Yu is superior, so Zhu Zhi barely relied on the number of people to tie with Zhou Yu!
"Leave the command to me!" Seeing that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and the thick smoke almost covered half of the camp, Lu Su was extremely anxious, and he had to take over Zhu Zhi's command.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you. I'll go guard the camp!" Knowing that Zhou Yu is not a strong general who charges into battle, Zhu Zhi is relieved to hand over command to Lu Su. He believes that it is best for Lu Su to deal with Zhou Yu.
s Choice!
After taking a deep look at Zhu Zhi, Lu Su did not speak. He took the order arrow and directly commanded the Jiangdong Army. Under Lu Su's command, the Jiangdong Army's attacks became sharper and the cooperation between the various arms became more tacit, allowing
Zhu Zhi, the old general, had to obey. Of course, if Lu Su had no ability, how could Sun Quan rely on him?
Zhuge Liang once said in history: "Zijing is the one who guards the road, and Zhou Lang is the one who fights on the river." Not to mention, Lu Su is really talented in army command. It didn't take him long to regain his disadvantage.
, slowly approached the fire. The blood shed by the two soldiers during the fight flowed along the ground into the fire, making a chirping sound. A thick fishy smell filled the air!
"Kill!" The two armies started a tug-of-war next to the fire. Zhou Yu relied on his elite soldiers to maintain a stalemate with Lu Su. However, it can be seen from the distance from the fire that Zhou Yu gradually fell into a disadvantage. It is not that Zhou Yu is inferior to Lu Su.
, but he has fewer soldiers under his command. However, as long as the fire still exists and the thick black smoke is still floating, nothing else matters!
The two armies were in a stalemate for three hours, from morning to evening. In the afternoon, Sun Quan was defeated by Zhang Liao and Pang Tong twice in a row. He also saw thick smoke. In order to prevent the camp from being broken, he had to avoid it.
Zhang Liao, Pang De's sharp edge, and Sun Quan rushed to the Fuguan camp with their troops.
Sun Quan wanted to run away, how could Pang De and Zhang Liao agree? The two men led a hundred thousand cavalry in a desperate pursuit! During the pursuit, countless Jiangdong soldiers died under the two men's butcher knives, and a large number of Jiangdong soldiers fell behind and escaped. But Sun Quan had already
He has no time to pay attention to these things, he is worried about the Fuguan Camp!
When they arrived at the Fuguan camp, the fire had been extinguished. Lu Su worked hard to gain control of the fire. Naturally, he wanted to put out the fire as soon as possible. But when he saw Sun Quan, he almost cried! Thinking of the useless work he had done for a long time, Lu Su
His whole body began to tremble. He glared at Zhou Yu and shouted fiercely: "Zhou Gongjin, I will fight you to the death today!"
"Who is afraid of whom?" There was a trace of contempt in Zhou Yu's eyes. It was not that he looked down on Lu Su, but that he wanted to anger Lu Su. No matter how wise and wise a commander is, his command level will definitely be abnormal when blinded by anger. But he underestimated Lu Su.
Su, even when he is furious, as a commander-in-chief, Lu Su will not lose his mind!
"Zijing, what's going on?" Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the camp was fine, but when he looked at the pile of ashes in front of the camp, he couldn't help but feel a little confused!
"Zhou Yu set fire and smoke here to attract the lord's attention. My subordinates should be damned for failing to see through his plot early and causing the lord to come back for help!" Lu Su lowered his head in shame. He didn't know that Wuling had been lost, let alone
I know that Sun Quan was forced to return to the army by Zhang Liao and Pang De!
"I don't blame you!" Sun Quan sighed and said; "I was ambushed on the way to rescue and was forced to retreat. I was also ambushed along the way to Dinggong, who was already killed! Later, I joined forces together.
They wanted to break through by force, but were blocked by General Liu Zhang. They saw thick smoke rising from Wuling, so they came back to help!"
"So, Wuling was lost?" Lu Su was shocked, with an unknown meaning in his eyes.
"It should have been lost!" Sun Quan shook his head and said: "Pang Tong's army can attack the city with cavalry. Last time they captured Wuling in only half an hour. This time it took several hours to break the city. It is already too slow!
"
"Lord, what should our army do?" Lu Su frowned; "Without Wuling's transit supplies, we can't stay under Fuguan. Unless you are willing to raise the Wuling city wall and dig the moat deeply, otherwise..."
Lu Su didn't finish speaking, but Sun Quan understood what he meant. Since Pang Tong was able to attack Wuling twice, he could attack it a third time. In the current situation, he must either build Wuling ruthlessly or abandon Wuling. After thinking for a long time, Sun Quan
He sighed: "Forget it, our army no longer has the strength to compete with Liu Zhang, so we might as well retreat!"
"This..." Lu Su said in shock: "My lord, are you willing to retreat like this?"
"So what if you don't give in?" Sun Quan smiled bitterly and said, "Do you have a way to defeat Liu Zhang? Look at the opposite side. Although our army still has nearly 300,000 troops, there are also 150,000 to 60,000 troops on the opposite side. With Zhou Yu's ability
, if he uses infantry to withstand our army, and then uses cavalry to outflank our army, does our army have any hope of victory? Instead of wasting it like this, it is better to withdraw the soldiers to the east of the Yangtze River to protect the foundation! With these soldiers, plus the natural gorge of the Yangtze River
, should be able to stop Liu Zhang!"
"Lord, you..." Seeing that Sun Quan only wanted to protect himself, Lu Su's eyes showed disappointment. With the current situation, if Cao Cao was defeated, Jiangdong would not be able to protect himself. He really didn't expect that Sun Quan would be so short-sighted.
But Sun Quan seemed to have made up his mind, and he didn't want to persuade him anymore!
"Take the troops back to the camp!" Since he wanted to protect himself, Sun Quan was not in the mood to continue fighting with Zhou Yu. He led Jiangdong's army back to the camp and prepared to withdraw. However, when Zhou Yu and others on the opposite side saw Jiangdong's army returning to the camp, they naturally withdrew.
Got it!
Originally, Zhou Yu wanted to invite Pang De and Zhang Liao to Fuguan, but they had to return to their posts, so Zhou Yu did not force them to stay. When the two saw Pang Tong, Pang Tong was already sitting in the city guard's palace! In fact, the wolf smoke that Sun Quan saw was not the same.
It was not Pang Tong who set it, but Dong Xi burned a granary to remind Sun Quan that Wuling was a trap.
Unfortunately, Dong Xi didn't know that whether he burned the granary or not, Sun Quan would not be able to come to Wuling, but he also paid the price for his ignorance. After setting the fire, he met Zhang Fei and was knocked off his horse with a spear.
!As for Wuling's other guard, Ling Tong, he was quite lucky and jumped off the city at the last moment. Of course, it is unknown whether he could escape with his life in the chaos of the war!
