Chapter 1936 Retreat
Sun Ce sighed in his heart and murmured: "Gongjin, Gongjin, I really can't deceive you!"
Thinking of this, Sun Ce had already made up his mind to sacrifice his life to fight. Since he could not deceive the other party, he could only fight for life and death!
Zhou Yu stared at Sun Ce, slowly drew out the sword, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, slowly raised the sword, and prepared to order an attack!
Dadadadadada...! The rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind at this moment.
Zhou Yu frowned, couldn't help but put down his sword and looked back. A messenger rushed over and said anxiously: "Grandmaster, the King of Wu has an order, stop the attack immediately and retreat!"
Zhou Yu immediately realized that something might have happened and asked: "Why did the King of Wu order retreat?"
The commander said: "The King of Wu had just received a letter from Fei Ge saying that Chaisang was raided by the enemy and the situation was critical!"
Zhou Yu was shocked. He turned his head and looked at Sun Ce who was immediately ahead. He immediately turned his horse's head and shouted, "The whole army retreats!"
When the coalition officers and soldiers heard Zhou Yu's order, they couldn't help but look at each other, looking at him at a loss. Xiahou Dun rode his horse to Zhou Yu and asked angrily: "Grandmaster, victory is in sight, why retreat?"
Zhou Yu frowned and said, "The situation has changed. Chaisang was attacked and the situation is critical. Once Chaisang falls, we will be able to break through Jiangxia and will be in a very dangerous situation! There is no other way at this moment, so we can retreat quickly and protect Chaisang!"
Then he shouted to the coalition forces: "Retreat immediately. Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"
The generals of the coalition forces were shocked and urged their subordinates to retreat. No matter what they felt at this moment, the officers and soldiers could only turn to the spot and retreat quickly.
When Sun Ce saw this scene, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After watching the other party gradually fade away, he ordered the troops to come out and continue to retreat.
Zhou Yu led the front army to retreat and joined the army led by Sun Quan and Cao Cao. As soon as he met, he asked with concern: "King of Wu, what is the situation in Chaisang?"
Sun Quan frowned and shook his head and said, "The specific situation is not clear. But it must be urgent for 100,000 yuan! I have sent Jiang Qin to lead an army to help Chaisang, I just hope it is still time!"
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Once Chaisang loses, the consequences will be unimaginable! Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanran and the others actually attacked Danyangbei from the beginning, because we miscalculated!"
Zhou Yu clasped his fists at Cao Cao and asked, "I don't know what happened to Cao Ren and Sima Yi on the other side?"
Cao Cao said: "They have retreated to Wuhu and Liyang. The enemy is just bluffing in that direction, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being!
At present, it seems that Zhao Yanran has transferred his main force to attack Chaisang. The enemy troops attacking Chaisang are probably only the opponent's front cavalry, and in this case Lu Xun and the others may be able to defend it.
But once Zhao Yanran's main force arrives in Chaisang, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Zhou Yu nodded and thought: "Based on the information we have obtained so far, the enemy's attack center should have been transferred to Chaisang! The situation can be said to be urgent!..."
Sun Quan said: "It is precisely because of this that I urgently ordered the Grand Commander to retreat! Grand Commander, after discussing with the King of Wei, I felt that it should be left to leave an army to block Xiazhi Pass, and the rest of the troops would return to defend Chaisang as quickly as possible!"
Zhou Yu clasped his fists and said, "Abide by the military orders of the King of Wu! But his subordinates have another suggestion.
Sun Ce and Pang Tong and the others will probably learn the reason for our army's hasty retreat soon, so how could they miss this great opportunity to counterattack? Do not hesitate to leave an ambush on the east bank of the Fushui River, and suddenly break out when the enemy crosses the river..."
Sun Quan and Cao Cao's eyes lit up and nodded. Cao Cao smiled and said, "The famous Zhou Lang in Jiangdong is well-deserved. Such arrangements will surely defeat the enemy and ensure temporary safety on the Western Front!"
Sun Quan nodded and said, "Just arrange it like this!"
Not long after, the main force of the coalition forces began to cross the Fushui River. Sun Quan, Cao Cao and others were anxious. Although the Feige letter he received not long ago showed that Chaisang was not captured by the enemy, they were vague, which made them very uneasy.
Chaisang.
The whole city was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, and the officials and civilians in the city stared at the top of the city with wide eyes and uneasy expressions. Tens of thousands of Wu soldiers on the top of the city and more than 100,000 civilian soldiers who were temporarily pieced together were staring outside the city nervously.
It turned out that a round of raid launched by the opponent not long ago actually passed through the urn and entered the city of Chaisang, killing and injuring many Wu soldiers. The Wu army's defense line almost collapsed.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the civilian army gathered by Bu Lianshi arrived at the scene and repelled the opponent's raid at a huge cost.
Although the battle stopped at this moment, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the streets near the Xichengmen were even more blood-filled, and the scene was very tragic.
Outside the city, Zhao Yun led his cavalry to retreat temporarily. Because after a night and half a day of fierce attack, his subordinates were all very tired and hungry. The attack power had obviously declined and they had to retreat for a while.
The soldiers and civilians on the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Liu Xianjun outside the city suspending the attack and retreating to camp. Many people felt like they had a life of surviving the disaster.
Mr. Bu, dressed in military uniform, looked very serious and then walked to Lu Xun.
When Lu Xun saw Master Bu Lian coming, he hurriedly said, "Empress!"
Mr. Bu looked at Liu Xianjun who was retreating and camping outside the city, and asked with a serious expression: "I think the enemy army does not seem to have a large number of people. Why did we almost lose the previous attack?"
Lu Xun glanced at Liu Xianjun outside the city and said with some emotion: "Liu Xianjun is different from ordinary troops. He is invincible in the world. He can be said to be a veritable hero in all battles today! His combat power is definitely not comparable to others!
Moreover, the situation we are seeing may not be the real situation. Zhao Yun is one of the several generals conferred by Liu Xian. He is both wise and brave. I am afraid that the scene he wants us to see at this moment is just what he wants us to see.
Perhaps there are more troops hiding in the dark, just waiting for us to relax our vigilance and launch a raid!"
Mr. Bu Lian felt that what Lu Xun said was very reasonable, and nodded solemnly, then reminded him: "General, King of Wu, and the Grand Governor are not there, and the safety of Chaisang is all on the general!"
Lu Xun immediately clasped his fists and said, "Empress Dowager, don't worry, I will do my best to die!"
Mr. Bu turned his head and looked into the distance, with a complicated expression in his beautiful eyes. I don’t know what he was thinking about at this moment.
Outside the city, Liu Xianjun camp, Zhao Yun was standing in front of the map with several generals under him to discuss the offensive strategy. At this time, a general stepped in quickly and clasped his fists at Zhao Yun and said, "General, the scout has sprinkled out according to the general's requirements!"??
