The Han army's counterattack achieved its goal. The front of the Wu army was unable to withstand it. Fu Tong and the other 1,000 men were overwhelming. Although they were blocked by the Wu army, they could easily break through. At this time, the other 4,000 men under Fu Tong all rushed over.
, and Fu Tong gathered together and quickly condensed into a very powerful force.
The soldiers of the Wu army rushed forward to stop them, but Fu Tong and the other five thousand people were like a rolling hill. No matter where they rolled, no matter how many people came, there was only one final result, and that was death.
"Grand Governor, the Han army has made a surprise attack and is unstoppable at this time. What should we do?" Xu Sheng was anxious. When he saw the former army Ling Cao and Chen Wu were being chased by the Han army, they fled back like dogs. The soldiers also
Everyone discarded their armor and immediately asked.
Zhou Yu had already made up his mind that it would be a matter of time before he retreated. However, the reason why he did not retreat was because he wanted to see clearly whether Fu Tong and the other vine armor soldiers had any weaknesses. However, after observing for so long, he still could not see the weakness of the vine armor soldiers.
The weak point is that the vine armor soldiers are invulnerable. Killing Wu soldiers is like chopping melons and vegetables.
When Xu Sheng saw that Fu Tong and others were getting closer and closer, and that the front army was defeated, he became anxious and shouted: "Grand Governor, retreat your troops, stay away from the enemy for now, and fight again tomorrow!"
Zhou Yu frowned, and when he saw Fu Tong leading the way, dripping with blood and fighting with extraordinary bravery, he immediately shouted: "Retreat!"
As soon as the voice fell and Xu Sheng had no time to give the order, he suddenly heard a noise behind Wu Jun. The camp where the rear army stored grain and grass suddenly caught fire, and the camps on the left and right wings also caught fire. At the same time, among the fire, the word "Han"
The flag fluttered in the wind, and a young general with a big sword in his hand and more than a thousand cavalry came out from behind.
Zhou Yu turned his head and saw this scene, and immediately shouted: "The Han army is surrounded to death, how can the Han army come from behind to kill?"
There are enemies both front and rear, but for the Wu army, the food and grass camp is the most important. If they are all burned down, then they will lose the foundation of their foothold in Jingzhou. Zhou Yu made a decision immediately and shouted loudly: "The armored army cuts off the rear, and the rear army changes to the front."
Team, the entire army must withdraw to the camp, food and grass must not be lost, put out the fire!"
Xu Sheng received the order and led the 5,000 armored troops surrounding Zhou Yu. They immediately formed a strong wall and sent the Wu troops from the front back to block the vine armored troops of Fu Tong and others.
Ding Feng, who was in the rear, immediately changed his formation and returned to camp to put out the fire. Tens of thousands of troops retreated across the board. Before Zhou Yu left, he glanced at Jiangling City, feeling unwilling but helpless.
Fu Tong chased the Wu army all the way. Later, when he saw that Xu Sheng's armored army had been cut off, the Wu army retreated in full, and a fire broke out behind the Wu army's camp, he immediately became very excited, and was about to move forward to pursue, but a group of people rushed out of the city.
Qiu brought Zhuge Jin's order for Fu Tong to withdraw his troops and return to the city.
Fu Tong was unwilling to give in and tried to charge against the armored army led by Xu Sheng. He charged twice and failed, so he withdrew his troops back to the city. On the way back to the city, Fu Tong encountered people withdrawing from the south, north and west gates.
soldiers and horses, kill red
When they saw it, they ran into Pan Zhang's army and horse. After a bloody battle, Pan Zhang was no match at all and fled. However, Fu Tong became more and more brave. He killed Pan Zhang's general Ma Zhong and carried Ma Zhong's head.
Return to the city to claim credit.
Wu Jun retreated in response, and the small group of Han cavalry that appeared also disappeared, and the fire in the camp did not cause a catastrophe because of the timely rescue. Zhou Yu suffered this loss and was very upset, but he still could not think of it.
, where did the Han army come from? Another army came.
As soon as the war ended, the Wu army lost more than 10,000 soldiers in this battle, while the Han army only lost more than a thousand people who pretended to attack the Wu army camp outside the south, north, and west gates. The Han army achieved its first victory after being invaded.
Sima Lang didn't want to see this result the most. What he didn't expect was that the Han army still had such fighting power. But on the surface, he still congratulated Zhuge Jin.
After the victory, when the two of them had a drink again, Zhuge Jin revealed the reason. It turned out that he acted according to Zhuge Liang's strategy for today's victory. Sima Lang was also surprised after hearing this and couldn't help but admire Zhuge Liang.

……………………
In an abandoned village fifty miles north of Jiangling City, Sima Yi and Jia Kui were waiting there quietly, guarded by ten strong men.
"General, last time you asked General Wen to report a message, my subordinates were a little curious. When we were hiring people, why did the General let General Wen leave and never come back?" Jia Kui sat by the campfire and looked across the way.
Sima Yi asked.
Sima Yi was closing his eyes to rest. Although he did not open his eyes, he listened carefully with his ears. He wriggled his mouth and said: "There are Hussar General Zhang He, Right General Chen Dao, plus Tiger Guard General Gan Ning's 50,000
The naval force is enough for me to control everything. It is the time for the emperor to hire people, so it is not a waste of manpower to send Wenpin back to the emperor."
Jia Kui finally got the answer to his puzzling question and stopped talking.
Wenpin originally followed Sima Yi to Dangyang. After Sima Yi arranged everything, he sent Wenpin back, so Jia Kui asked this question.
After a long time, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard outside the village. Sima Yi suddenly opened his eyes, stood up hurriedly, and said to Jia Kui: "Go out to meet General Guan!"
The group of people came outside and saw a fair young general carrying a big sword dismounting his horse. Sima Yi smiled and clasped his fists and said: "General Guan, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. The matter should be successful, right?"
The man called General Guan was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a handsome face, eyes like shooting stars, red lips and white teeth. He was Guan Ping, the eldest son of the Han general Guan Yu. As soon as Guan Ping dismounted, he bowed to Sima Yi and said: "
big
The general is very resourceful, and Zhou Yu really fell into the trap. It's a pity that the general gave me too few soldiers and horses, so I couldn't let me kill him happily. Otherwise, I would definitely burn down Zhou Yu's food camp and let Wu Jun
All starved to death."
Sima Yi said: "General Guan doesn't have to be like this. Our country of Huaxia and Wu are also allies after all. There is a reason why we made an exception to help General Guan today. Since we succeeded today, shouldn't General Guan return to our country of China as agreed?"
"
"No! I want to find my father. I told my mother before I left that I will never go back until I find my father. General, as long as I find my father, I will surrender as we agreed.
From China." Guan Ping said stubbornly.
Sima Yi nodded and said: "Filial piety comes first among all good deeds. General Guan is also a filial man. In this case, I can't stop him. But remember, you must never act recklessly again. If I hadn't met him first,
When it comes to you, how can you possibly be the opponent of Zhou Yu's 150,000 troops with your own strength?"
Guan Ping said: "What are you afraid of? The worst case scenario is death!"
"Of course General Guan's courage Zhongda will not deny, but he must die well and be worthy of death. It means nothing if you die like this. Here are fifty gold coins, seven days of food and water, take them with you
, you won’t be hungry on the way, and this horse will be given to you as well.” Sima Yi asked the soldiers to bring them the package, food and water, and handed them to Guan Ping.
Guan Ping said: "Thank you, General. After I leave, I hope that the General will take care of my mother, brother-in-law, and my third uncle's family members."
"Don't worry. Your Majesty, the Zhang family will take good care of you. After meeting your father, remember to tell your father that the Emperor will always be waiting for him in Luoyang City. He can go see him at any time if he wants.
Your Majesty, your home will also be settled in Luoyang."
Guan Ping nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Then farewell!"
After saying that, he took the things given by his superior Sima Yi, mounted his horse, and with only a short sword, he rode away and soon disappeared into the night.
When Jia Kui saw Guan Ping leaving, he asked: "General, Guan Ping can be considered a tiger in the general's guard. Wouldn't it be a pity to let him go like this?"
"As long as Guan Yu surrenders, Guan Ping will naturally surrender, and so will Zhang Fei. The emperor found the handwriting written by Guan Yu in the dilapidated Tutu Temple by the Hanshui River, so he asked me to do this. Now, gather your troops and horses,
Withdraw the troops and return to camp. Early tomorrow morning, the army will march across the entire front, march to the gates of Jiangling City, and compete with the Wu army."
Jia Kui said: "But the emperor asked us to garrison Dangyang and cut off the connection between Xiangyang and Jiangling. The general did not obey the imperial decree and sent troops privately. Moreover, he still competed with the allies. Will it cause a dispute between the two countries?"
"The general is out, and the military orders are not obeyed. Besides, the emperor has appointed me as the general of the southern expedition, with full authority to handle the southern expedition. The southern expedition refers to the area south of Jiangling. If the emperor is blamed, I will bear all the blame.
with you
We have nothing to do with it. Also, you send someone to inform General Gan Ning of the Tiger Guard, and ask his 50,000 navy troops to turn back, enter the Jiangling area from the Yangtze River, and cross the river to cut off the connection between the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangling.
." Sima Yi said with a stern expression.
Jia Kui was shocked and thought that Sima Yi was too bold. He was just the general who conquered the south, so how dare he give orders to Gan Ning. He was stunned for a moment and asked: "General, Gan Ning is one of the five tiger generals.
It’s the General of the Tiger Guard whom the Emperor personally conferred. The general’s current official rank is only on the same level as General Gan. I’m afraid…”
"I have the emperor's personal decree and am responsible for the full power of the expedition to the south. Anyone who has to cooperate in the battle must listen to my dispatch. If the military orders cannot be unified, how will the expedition to the south be completed? You can take the emperor's letter to me and go do it in person.
Ling met Gan Ning, explained the interests, and asked Chen Dao to send troops by land and garrison Huarong Road."
As the saying goes, the first level of official rank kills people. Jia Kui was a former champion in martial arts and was named Zuo Chaqi General. However, in terms of rank, he was one level lower than Sima Yi, from the first rank. After hearing this, he could not object.
Then he cupped his fists and said, "Promise! I obey your orders!"
Sima Yi nodded, turned around and said to the thousand cavalrymen: "Thank you for your hard work. Now the whole army is returning to camp."
