Chapter 128
Among the Koto barracks.
The atmosphere seemed a little depressing, because the spies had just come to report that Wen Ping's army had arrived and had landed at the ferry north of Chaisang.
After Zhou Yu received the news, his heart suddenly sank, since Wenpin really came, it means that Lu Xun really failed.
It really failed!
Zhou Yu clenched his fists tightly, and he didn't want to believe it until now, but the facts were here.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Lu Xun's side has failed, and the Wenpin army has also come to Chaisang, I don't know if you have any plans in mind about how to decide next?" Zhou Yu's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and asked in a deep voice.
Everyone was silent for a while, now the situation couldn't be more obvious, the 30,000 army attacking Chaisang was already a little difficult, their original plan was that Lu Xun could solve Liu Jue as soon as possible, and then go north to attack them inside and outside.
But Lu Xun is defeated now, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and with their current strength of less than 30,000, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to capture Chaisang.
Zhu Zhi was the first to speak: "Dudu, now that Lu Xun has been defeated, and Wen Ping has led a large army to arrive, the situation is very unfavorable to us, according to my opinion, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible." "
"Junli has a point, the situation is not favorable to us now, if we don't withdraw our troops as soon as possible, we will spend time with them here, in case they come to attack the hinterland of Jiangdong again, I am afraid that we will not be able to bear it. Dong Xi had an unwilling look on his face.
"Governor, it's time to retreat!" Tai Shi Ci also said in a deep voice.
It's not that Tai Shi Ci is afraid, but Jiangdong has completely lost his advantage, and Liu Jue's soldiers are not soft persimmons, and the weapons in their hands are very sharp.
If you return to Nanchang as soon as possible, you will be able to preserve your strength, and it will not be too late to raise troops again when you have the next opportunity.
"You're right, it's time to retire. Zhou Yu sighed, his face was full of unwillingness, and the good situation was buried like this.
This time the army to attack Chaisang was completely anticlimactic, and it also made Moling lost, not only did not reap the benefits, but also lost a lot on the Jiangdong side.
"Send the order down, the camp is ten miles back, and the troops will retreat tonight!" Now that the decision has been made, Zhou Yu has become very decisive.
"Tonight, Dudu, is this a bit hasty?" Zhu Zhi couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Zhou Yu's words.
"Wen Ping has landed in the north of Chaisang, if we don't retreat tonight, and wait until tomorrow when their army comes to attack, it will be very difficult for us to leave, not to mention that the weapons in their hands are very sophisticated, only by taking advantage of today's time for them to react, is the best chance for us to retreat. "
Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh, in the past, when Sun Ce was alive, Jiangdong was so invincible, but now he was deflated by Liu Jue's hands three times and twice.
"Wow!" Zhu Zhi and the three of them all responded silently when they heard this.
The order was conveyed, and the Jiangdong army immediately retreated ten miles, and this news was soon known to Zhuge Liang.
"Yang Jiye, you lead 3,000 people, according to what I said, to ambush in this place. "
Zhuge Liang first arranged a task for Yang Jiye, then looked at Huang Zhong and Wen Ping, and said with a smile: "Two generals, which of you is responsible for supporting Yang Jiye?"
Wen Ping said with a smile: "Wen is a guest, so it is naturally arranged by the host's family. "
"General Wenpin said he was joking!"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "In this case, General Wenpin will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and when the horn sounded on Yang Jiye's side, he will immediately go to support Yang Jiye, and be sure to inflict heavy losses on the Jiangdong army." "
Huang Zhong shook his head and smiled: "It seems that there is no matter for me." "
Zhuge Liang immediately said: "Old General Huang laughed, I still have an important task here, which I want to hand over to General Huang." "
Huang Zhong restrained his smile and said, "Strategist, please speak." "
Zhuge Liang said: "I have already notified Gan Ning and asked him to come over to pick up General Huang, and take advantage of the opportunity tonight to lead the army to attack Nanchang along the waterway." "
Huang Zhong frowned and said: "If you go by land and water at night, will it be too dangerous? The darkness can't be seen at all, unless they all light torches, then it will be easy to be discovered by Dong Xi's navy." "
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The general forgot that today is fifteen? During this time, the weather is clear, and there must be a full moon at night, and then the moonlight will follow." "
Huang Zhong slapped his thigh and said, "I almost forgot about this stubble! In that case, I will do what the military advisor said." "
......
Before I knew it, it was already late at night, and it was about an hour before dawn.
In the Jiangdong barracks, the army has been silently assembled, and all kinds of baggage, grain and grass are also loaded on the carriage.
It didn't take long for the army to assemble in the school grounds.
Zhou Yu was wearing a light armor and was already riding on horseback, and after a period of recuperation, riding a horse was no longer a problem for him.
In front of him were more than 20,000 troops, as well as generals such as Zhu Zhi and Tai Shici, while Dong Xi led the naval army and retreated along the waterway to Nanchang.
It's just that they didn't expect that just an hour ago, Gan Ning and Huang Zhong had already led an army of 7,000 and went to Nanchang first under the cover of night.
"Let's go!" Zhou Yu glanced at the empty camp, snorted lightly, and led the army towards the vast night.
Retreating without a fight, although there is a bit of a blow to morale, but these Jiangdong soldiers, everyone seems very relaxed, after all, who will be unhappy if they don't fight?
Zhu Zhi opened the way in front, Zhou Yu walked in the middle, Tai Shici was in charge of the back of the hall, and after about an hour, the sky was already slightly bright.
Zhou Yu rode on the horse, looking at the white sky with the fish belly, and breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was more unwilling.
Lost twice in a row at the hands of Liu Jue, Zhou Yu hated Liu Jue, but was more afraid in his heart, if this person continued to grow, I was afraid that it would be more difficult to deal with in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu's heart was a little heavy.
At the same time, on a densely wooded hill ahead, Yang Jiye had already led 3,000 elite soldiers and had been ambushed here for several hours.
In order to prevent missing the time, Zhuge Liang asked Yang Jiye to lead the army to set off not long after dark, and it took more than an hour to come here along a difficult path, bypassing the camp of the Jiangdong army.
Since the ambush came down, Yang Jiye arranged ambushes around him according to Zhuge Liang's instructions, and then ordered the soldiers not to make a sound, for fear that there would be a noise that would expose him.
At this time, Yang Jiye was wearing armor, and the water vapor condensed into droplets on the iron pieces of the armor, dripping into his neck from time to time, making him feel uncomfortable.
It's nothing, I'm afraid of poisonous insects and snakes nearby.
However, the soldiers were all well ambushed, no matter what the situation was, they were silent, and the three thousand volts were quietly waiting for Zhou Yu to take the bait.
