In fact, when Zhuge Liang issued the order, he already did not have much hope for the navy in the north.
If the most elite navy in their army, even if they encountered the maximum resistance from the opponent, would have easily broken through the opponent's land defenses due to their absolute superiority in strength and equipment.
Now... no news has come back from Jingkou. It is probably because Wu Ban and Chen Shi failed to display the combat power that the navy should have... From the beginning to the end, Zhuge Liang never thought... that their 30,000 elite navy would be defeated by the opponent.
The possibility of withdrawing from this category——
The life and death of Pang Tong and Wei Yan are now uncertain. Although judging from the letters, Pang Tong is pretty sure that the other party will use him to threaten him, but... Zhuge Liang also needs to consider more other factors...
Therefore, in fact, in a very short period of time, Zhuge Liang made many difficult choices - including... the choice to abandon Pang Tong, Wei Yan and others and cut off their own arms.
There is no doubt that there is a back-up move in Pang Tong's letter, but even Zhuge Liang was shocked when he saw this back-up move - but in the final analysis, we are not going to follow the path Pang Tong said.
The exploratory stage.
To get out of trouble, Zhuge Liang must rely on his own ability.
All in all... amidst all the mixed emotions of grief, Zhuge Liang sorted out a clear retreat route.
So when they called for gold and retreated their troops, two letters had been sent to the directions of Jingkou and Yangxian respectively. The situation on Zhao Yun's side was unknown for the time being, but in this case, Zhuge Liang felt that as long as Zhao Yun did not make any mistakes, he could still get some help.
Some opportunities to prove yourself.
When the two armies on land join forces and then go north to provide cover with the navy, won't it be easy to withdraw from Jiangdong?
The weakness of the Jiangdong people has now fully emerged... Although... Although yesterday's explosion made Zhuge Liang still palpitated, but... after he overcame his inner fear and imagined it realistically, he realized that he had almost walked into the opponent's bomb deterrence zone.
In a trap.
Zhuge Liang, who jumped out in time, no longer showed any fear, but instead threw the problem to Yi Xiaotian.
Under the influence of various factors, this was the first time that Yi Xiaotian had a difficult feeling when facing Zhuge Liang. Either way, although he left Jiangdong safely at that time, after hearing that Pang Tong was in chaos, he followed Liu Bei to Jingdong.
In Nanshi, Yi Xiaotian immediately understood...The biggest enemy of Cao Cao and Master Mu in the future will no longer be Jiangdong.
The chemical reaction between Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang was more terrifying than any opponent Yi Xiaotian had ever encountered before.
But - this does not mean that Yi Xiaotian will retreat in distress.
Pang Tong's plan was indeed thoughtful, and a last plan seemed to have missed the mark in Yi Xiaotian's arrangement. Zhuge Liang's decision-making was also decisive, eliminating his previous hesitation when facing him.
Ke Yi Xiaotian has always been a person who can create miracles. Among them is a magical creation called a chariot, which roars and seems to want to declare their dominance over the battlefield.

"What's that sound?"
Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in the central army, saw that his large siege force was about to connect with their garrison, and he was about to issue an order to turn around and evacuate. However, at this moment, the unusual subtle vibrations in the air faintly stimulated Zhuge Liang's sensitivity.
of eardrums.
He knows the rhythm of music and is naturally very sensitive to sounds.
This rumbling vibration is not at all the rhythmic and frustrating feeling that comes when a war horse stamps on the ground.
This continuous and deepening vibration seems to feel like something heavy is being dragged on the ground——
He wasn't sure, but he blurted it out.
In his consciousness, for the first time, he hoped that his premonition would be wrong.
But unfortunately, the facts don't lie. The sound he heard came from the hillside beside Liu Beijun at this moment.
Looking at the source of the sound, Zhuge Liang was a little stunned for a moment.
Is...something moving?
This question arises from the bottom of his heart, but it is not a doubt about whether there is an object moving... What he really doubts is... what is the moving "thing"...
The yellow sand is accompanied by smoke and dust, and the rumbling sound is like thunder rolling from the sky.
Hundreds of square "objects" are "sliding" from the hillside and rushing down the mountain.
The initial shock prevented Zhuge Liang from making a judgment.
Within the visible line of sight, the strange objects were getting faster and faster, and... their target did not even need to be concealed. It was the siege army led by Chen Dao, who was now on the way back.
The strong uneasiness in his heart made Zhuge Liang panic and issue instructions to the messengers around him.
The ordering soldier was a little confused after hearing this, but as a soldier, his mission is to obey orders——
The messengers holding flags in their hands immediately rushed to high places and issued orders to Chen Daojun, who was rushing towards them in the distance.

"Um... did the general hear any strange noises?"
The deputy general next to Chen asked this question, but his tone was not so firm.
Because Chen was in a bad mood... even though he was covered in blood, the murderous look in his eyes had not dissipated, but just now, Zhuge Liang chose to withdraw his troops with gold.
Chen Dao has always been a mild-tempered and well-behaved general. He almost died in chaos before, but now he once again led his army to fight against the opponent. He was about to break through the opponent's city defense. When he wanted to avenge his shame, he was stopped by Zhuge Liang.
Anyone would be a little unhappy, right?
If... Zhang Fei had not been injured, he would have led the army to attack the city. If Zhuge Liang had given the order to retreat at that time, I am afraid that Zhang Fei would not have been able to retreat due to his temper.
Of course... the complaints were complaints. Chen Dao did not slow down the retreat of the army because of his emotions.
But when the deputy general next to him asked him, he replied angrily:
"There is no sound..."
"No...no...general...I...I heard it too, there was...it seemed like thunder?
at…"
"thunder?"
Another deputy general next to him responded and blurted out the word "thunder", which made Chen Dao, who was rushing in front, suddenly tremble.
Now he has a very bad feeling about the word thunder. After all, he was almost killed by the so-called "thunder" before...
"General..."
"Don't talk, let me listen."
The deputy general seemed to have something to say, but because Chen Dao was nervous, he told them to shut up... He closed his eyes and listened carefully...
‘Where is the thunder?
You're scaring me again...'
With this thought in his mind, Chen Dao opened his eyes and was about to reprimand the lieutenant who was talking nonsense... But in the corner of his field of vision... something strange suddenly broke in.
"Um?
what is that?"
Chen Dao murmured somewhat dullly.
A square, khaki-colored "thing" was rushing towards them at a speed that a war horse could reach at full speed.
