The victory has been decided, but the fierce battle continues.
The collision of blood and iron fills every corner on both sides of the river. No one can stay out of it. Whether it is for victory or survival, everyone must use all their courage and strength to fight to the last moment.
The Jiangdong Army was no longer fighting to reverse the situation, and the troops on the north bank began to retreat. The retreat method was very inefficient and extremely dangerous. Most people just jumped into the river holding a wooden board.
Using this method to fight against the rapids of the Yellow River can be said to be a near-death move. However, with the super strong water properties, there is no hope of success, but the real danger still comes from people.
Because the first thing to determine the winner is the battle on the river.
Although the dead soldiers from Jiangdong who boarded the ship with Sun Ce were good at fighting and fearless, the naval officers brought by Gan Ning were not good at fighting. Even if they fought under equal conditions, they would have to go through a fierce battle to decide who was the winner. At this moment, there were many outnumbered soldiers.
The disparity is huge, and the result is of course needless to say.
Except for Gan Ning on the flagship who was still fighting fiercely with Sun Ce, the battles on the other ships were completely over. The Qingzhou Navy quickly turned their targets to other places. They lowered the sails, slowed down the ship, and aimed the ship at
On both sides of the river banks, a hail of "bobo" arrows were thrown, falling in the river and on the river banks, causing waves of blood.
The Jiangdong Army retreating from the north bank will first have to face such a killing. No matter how good their water skills are, they will become living targets in the water. Even if they are lucky enough to escape the crossbow fire, it will be very difficult.
It is difficult to escape from the collision of battleships.
The Qingzhou Army used more than two hundred ships, crowding the ten-mile river. The fleet did not move forward blindly, but cruised back and forth in the center of the battlefield, like moving fortresses.
Despite this, the soldiers who retreated from the north bank did not flinch. Because they knew very well how hard-won the opportunity to escape was. Those who were still fighting to the death and cutting off the rear for others were facing the real danger.
The offensive of the Qingzhou Army on the north bank is extremely fierce. It is almost doubtful whether they are the same army that was beaten and retreated not long ago. The entire front is full of shining spear points, like countless angry bees.
, and like a jungle full of thorns, densely packed and everywhere!
Each round of stabbing can cause a lot of damage to Jiangdong's army. Jiangdong's army, which is attacked from both sides and front, has lost its previous courage and is unable to launch a counterattack. It can only use flesh and blood as a wall to give the soldiers behind it a chance to escape.
As the casualties increase and the number of escapees increases, their resistance will become increasingly weak, and they are about to fall into a complete collapse. When the array collapses, no one on the north bank can escape.
Jiangdong's army on the south bank is relatively safe.
The 30,000 Jiangdong Army was cut into two sections, with 14,000 to 5,000 troops on each side of the north and south banks. Although Zhang Liao's attack was fierce and he had the upper hand, it was limited by the limited strength of the Yulin Army and was unable to do so for a while.
This method can turn the advantage into victory. If Zhu Huan wants to escape, he can still fight and retreat at the cost of sustaining a certain amount of losses to preserve the main force.
However, Zhu Huan did not want to escape and could not escape.
The lord Sun Ce is still on the enemy ship, and the people on the north bank are also trying to survive. He cannot turn a blind eye to this. Therefore, he can only endure huge casualties under the attack from both sides by the Qingzhou Army. He strives to save the Lord and the people back home.
road.
In such a general environment, the departure of Liu Bei's small group of people was even more unexpected.
Although the generals who were in the midst of a fierce battle had no time to pay attention, there were some people on the battlefield who specialized in just this.
"Someone escaped...it's strange, why are there only a hundred people? That shouldn't be like this, right?"
"Shengping, you are really slow. You are definitely not a direct descendant of the Jiangdong Army for making such a fool of yourself! Don't forget. This is what Liu Xuande is best at. Otherwise, how could he have the ability to escape every defeat with his life?
My lord once said that day, if this person is determined to fight to the death, he may not be a late bloomer. This is the truth."
"Sun Toulu is an unparalleled hero, but to associate with such people is probably the cause of his defeat..."
The speaker is on a hill far away on the north bank. Judging from the semantics alone, one might think that they are a group of learned Confucian scholars, but as long as one hears the voice, there will never be such a misunderstanding.
It's clear that they are all still childish.
"Anyway, we must have made great achievements this time, right?" The young man named Shengping's eyes were shining.
"That's right." The response was much worse than he expected, and the people who answered looked a little listless.
"Zijia, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with meritorious service? Although we didn't go to the battlefield, General Shuzhi also said that in this battle, our staff group's strategic planning should be the first meritorious service. He will report it like this
Your Majesty! Don’t you distrust General Shu Zhi? He usually doesn’t talk much, but he is a man who promises a lot of money.”
"Shengping, you are really not an ordinary dull person. Can't you see what the Zi family is worried about? After this battle, the world will soon be peaceful, but we people are not old enough and have not enough experience, except this time
It's a special situation, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go to the battlefield at all. When the world returns to peace, won't all this knowledge have to be shelved?"
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused many resonances. Except for the somewhat slow Gao Tanglong who was dumbfounded and the young and mature Lu Xun who was silent, the remaining teenagers actually sighed neatly.
"well!"
"The sun and the moon have passed away, and the years are not with me!"
"What a pity that the world is at peace now that our ambitions have not been fulfilled? I just hate the injustice!"
"I hate my parents for not giving birth to me ten years earlier, so that I can make a name for myself in history!"
Gao Tanglong was sighed by a group of classmates and felt flustered.
Wang Yu had previously sent a letter to the generals, asking them to fight on their own. He also gave a special instruction to the Gaotang garrison, namely: with Lu Xun as the leader, a group of students would be temporarily selected from the academy to form a staff group to advise on military affairs.
Chen Dao naturally follows everything. He has a calm and easy-going temperament, and he doesn't really like to hold power. Now that the lord has appointed a group of people to help him use his brains, it saves him trouble.
The order was sent to the academy, and they talked about it all day long. The students who were filled with anger suddenly jumped for joy. Finally, after selection, eighteen students were selected, including Lu Xun, Gao Tanglong, and Lu Yu.
Among them, Lu Xun was named by Wang Yu, and Lu Yu was the son of the late famous general Lu Zhi, a famous general in the dynasty. Only Gao Tanglong was not specialized in military affairs. His specialty was astronomy. The academy specially recommended him, mainly to predict the weather.
.Monitor hydrological changes.
With such a major, Gao Tanglong naturally doesn't have much idea about making contributions and making achievements, but looking at the expressions of his classmates, he can understand a little bit. It is indeed a great tragedy in life that a hero has no place to perform.
He tried to comfort him: "It's not as fast as you think, right? Let's just say Cao Cao. Everyone said that this man is a rare famous general in the world. It's still unclear whether he can be defeated this time.
.Besides, Xia Houyuan rushed to Linzi two days ago. If...I mean just in case, wouldn't the war continue?"
He thought hard, and finally came up with another reason: "And...and, yes. Even if we win, there are still many places in the world that are not peaceful. Jingzhou, Yizhou, and
Jiangdong and Huainan may become one-third of the world."
"Shengping, as the saying goes, there are specialties in martial arts. Since you are not interested in military affairs, don't force yourself to analyze the overall situation of the world."
Lu Yu sighed again, patted Gao Tanglong on the shoulder and said: "Your Majesty's Qingqi is heading south, and the troops are pointing directly at Xiuwu City. With the combat power of the Wind and Fire Cavalry, even if they cannot win quickly, they can still firmly contain Cao's army. Military Advisor
, Wen Ze is a man who knows how to fight, and he is very close to you, so he will not fail to respond..."
Young people have a strong desire to express themselves. Before Lu Yu could finish a sentence, he was interrupted by others.
"Think about it, the four armies were advancing at the same time. How could Cao Cao have time to cross the river in a hurry? He didn't need to be defeated in a single encounter. As long as his main army could not cross the river, he would have won the battle 70% to 80%..."
"Jingzhou has not been newly attached for a long time. If we use Luoyang and Yingchuan as barriers to resist the enemy, we may be able to sustain it for a while. But once Luoyang is defeated, what will Cao Cao use to support it?"
"As for Xia Houyuan, it is even less worth mentioning. Don't forget Shengping. General Zijing has already been on strict guard in Qingzhou. Since General Wenyuan only brought five thousand Yulin back this time, then Han Sheng
The general is followed by the entire Thunder Army, 15,000 elite soldiers! General Zijing blocks in front, and the Thunder Army then covers up and kills him, and Xia Houyuan... tsk, he is dead!"
"Cao Cao's main force has been destroyed, and the Jiangdong elite here may not be able to return. With only Jiangdong's mere territory, what can we do to stop our army from going south? Not to mention that there are differences within the Jiangdong Army. Some people just want to settle in a corner.
But I don’t know that the so-called natural dangers in Jiangdong have long been a thoroughfare for our Hussars. How difficult is it to destroy these rats?"
"In other words, the mountains and rivers inside and outside Yizhou are unified. It may be a bit troublesome, but at most it will only delay it for a while and not cause any trouble."
Gao Tanglong was speechless by a group of people. Thinking about it, it seemed that this was really the case. He opened his mouth and suddenly said: "Well, then you have to change subjects as soon as possible. Learn something about the peaceful age."
Applied knowledge.”
Lu Yu and the others were both angry and amused. Thinking about it carefully, they might actually agree to Gao Tanglong's joke, and they felt terribly depressed.
"That's not necessarily the case." At this moment, Lu Xun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, and everyone was refreshed.
Among this group of people, Lu Xun was not the oldest, nor was he necessarily the most knowledgeable, but his ability to see things was recognized by everyone as number one. Hearing his rebuttal, everyone's hope was rekindled.
"Everyone should know that peace in the Central Plains does not mean that there is no place for us to use it. In the future national policy, the expansion of territory may be the theme."
"But..." Lu Yu frowned and said, "According to Your Majesty's current layout, it seems that all the princes are guarding the four frontiers, right? If we want to expand our territory, where should we go?"
"It's not that simple." Lu Xun shook his head and said softly: "Everyone, please think about it. Putting the princes on the border and making them conquer the outside world, so that the Central Plains can enjoy peace... With the wisdom of the king, would you do such a foolish move?
?Although I dare not predict the future, I can be sure that your consideration will not be that simple."
One sentence made everyone think deeply, and Lu Xun raised his hand again and said shockingly: "What's more, this battle may not completely destroy the Jiangdong elite. If Sun Ce escapes from danger, he may still have to go through a war in the south in the future.
It’s been a hard fight.”
The young men raised their heads in shock and followed their expectations. They saw a group of troops coming quickly from the south. There were only two or three thousand soldiers, but the big flag with the word "zhou" in the front of the array could be seen.
The hearts of the young people were beating fast.
Zhou Yu, the most intelligent general in Jiangdong, Zhou Gongjin!
Now that this person is here, his goal of annihilating Jiangdong's army here may be in doubt.
