Huangpoling is only more than ten miles away from the Wu army camp. If 30,000 soldiers marched in a hurry, they could return within half an hour. Lu Su was worried about the safety of the camp and ordered them to march at full speed and return to the camp.
Along the way, Lu Su paid close attention to the movements in the direction of the camp.
The fires in the camp were connected together, and the thick smoke covered the sky. To achieve this effect, the entire camp must be burned to achieve this scale. Lu Su estimated the results, and his mood became even lower. He could only hope that Huang Gai, Zu
Mao, Lu Fan, Zhang Hong and others are safe and can escape safely. This is Lu Su's current thinking.
If Sun Jian and Taishi Ci trusted each other, Lu Su felt that he would still have a chance to defeat Wang Can.
After Taishi Ci surrendered to the enemy, Lu Su had no idea of winning.
When it comes to strategy, Wang Can has three wise men like Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Xu Shu under his command. The three of them can make plans together and are far superior to Lu Su. When it comes to military generals, Wang Can has Dian Wei, Lu Meng, Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu under his command.
Gan Ning and other powerful generals, plus Tai Shi Ci, who had just surrendered to the enemy, were even more powerful and difficult to defeat. As the commander-in-chief, Wang Can was obedient and able to accept the suggestions of his subordinates. However, Sun Jian insisted on going his own way and was stubborn, which made Lu Su exhausted mentally and physically and could not support the overall situation.
.
The idea of defeating the Shu army has completely disappeared from Lu Su's mind. At this moment, Lu Su only thinks about withdrawing safely to save more power for the Wu Kingdom.
"Hey, why is it that there seems to be a shout of killing coming from the front?"
When Lu Su was considering the army's retreat, he heard shouts of killing coming from a distance. Lu Su's heart moved and he ordered: "Lu Yan, you can lead a hundred soldiers and go to the front immediately to inquire about the news and investigate the situation."
"promise!"
Lu Yan responded with clasped fists and flew away with a hundred soldiers.
After Lu Yan left, Lu Su ordered the army to stop and form a formation to wait for news. If there was a Shu army blocking the way ahead, Lu Su would definitely lead his army to kill it. If it was his own team, Lu Su would know it without guessing.
Whatever the situation, it must be that the soldiers who escaped from the military camp were either asking for help, or they all fled here.
Before half a stick of incense had arrived, Lu Yan rushed back with ten of his followers, clasping his fists and saying: "Sir, the army in front is the escaped army. General Huang, General Zu, General Lu, Lord Zhang and other civil servants and generals are among them.
Coming quickly."
"ah!!"
Even though Lu Su was prepared, he couldn't help but exclaim.
The camp was finally captured by the Shu army.
Lu Yan asked: "Sir, the Shu army is chasing after them with great momentum. Our army and General Huang are together, and it is difficult to defeat the Shu army. What should we do?" Lu Yan looked anxious, with a flash of fear in his eyes. Dozens of people
Thousands of Shu troops are coming to attack, but with their meager strength alone, it is impossible to defeat the Shu troops, and it is very difficult to protect themselves.
Lu Su pondered for a while and used his brain to consider countermeasures.
As time passed, the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and Lu Yan's face was already full of eagerness. At this time, it was all up to Lu Su to support the overall situation. Lu Su raised his head and ordered: "Send the order for the army to withdraw to Huangpoling."
.”
Lu Yan asked: "Sir, why is this?"
Lu Su said eagerly: "Time is urgent. I will tell you how to arrange it as we go." Lu Su led the soldiers back to Huangpoling. The soldiers began to march again and ran back quickly.
The soldiers didn't know why and could only carry out the order.
On the way, Lu Su said: "Lu Yan, Huang Gai, Zu Mao, Zhang Hong and others led the army and were chased by the Shu army. The more than 200,000 troops suffered heavy casualties and it is difficult to fight again. Even if we add 30,000 troops
, it is difficult to defeat the Shu army, and how to survive is the most important question. If you want to stabilize the situation, you can only bluff and take risks to have a chance to save all soldiers."
Lu Yan said: "Please show me, sir!"
Lu Su said quickly: "We will withdraw our soldiers to Huangpoling and stop there, waiting for the Shu army to come and kill... When the time comes, we will deceive the Shu army and scare them back. You can immediately use my plan to
Tell Huang Gai and Zu Mao to rush towards Huangpoling and organize the fleeing soldiers to stabilize the situation."
"promise!"
Lu Yan answered with clasped fists and turned his horse to walk away.
Lu Su led his army and continued on their way, and did not stop until they returned to Huangpoling. Next, Lu Su summoned all the generals in the army and gave instructions to all the soldiers to brace themselves for the coming war.
A quarter of an hour later, shouts of death approached Huangpoling.
Lu Su heard the sound and knew that Huang Gai, Zu Mao and others were leading the army and were approaching Huangpoling.
Huang Gai and Zu Mao led their troops to retreat. When they arrived at Huangpoling, they found that Lu Su had not sent reinforcements, and they were anxious. Huang Gai asked in a deep voice: "Lu Yan, Zijing said he was waiting at Huangpoling, why did he still do it?"
No one came?"
Lu Yan said: "General, don't worry, Mr. Lu is waiting here."
Huang Gai suppressed the worries in his heart and continued to retreat.
The Shu army was aggressive and followed closely behind the Wu army, killing countless Wu soldiers. There were also countless Wu soldiers who chose to surrender and became prisoners of the Shu army.
Of the 250,000-strong army, only 90,000 remaining defeated generals were left, suffering heavy losses.
Among the Shu army, the leader who led the pursuit was Gan Ning, accompanied by Pang De and Zhou Tai, and the military advisor was Xu Shu, who was responsible for formulating strategies. Seeing the Shu army chasing Huangpoling, Xu Shu said: "Huangpoling is silent, it seems.
The war is over and the lord should have withdrawn to the camp. I wonder if Sun Jian was captured by the lord?"
Gan Ning said with a smile: "Commander Xu, Sun Jian is just a reckless man. He only knows how to be brave and fight ruthlessly, so there is nothing to worry about. My lord has attracted Sun Jian by taking risks, and he will definitely capture Sun Jian."
Xu Shu said: "I hope what General Gan said is true."
While Gan Ning and Xu Shu were joking, a cry of death suddenly came from Huangpoling.
Countless Wu soldiers came out from Huangpoling, shouting. Gan Ning frowned and ordered: "Inspect the situation immediately and find out what happened."
Just when Gan Ning gave the order, Zhou Tai hurried back.
Zhou Tai looked anxious and said loudly: "Old Gan, military advisor, it's not good, something happened to my lord."
Gan Ning frowned and asked, "Zhou Tai, what's wrong, my lord?"
Xu Shu also became nervous, waiting for Zhou Tai to speak.
Zhou Tai said in a deep voice: "Just when we were chasing the remnants of the Wu army led by Huang Gai and Zu Mao, Lu Su suddenly led tens of thousands of Wu soldiers to come out and cover the retreat of Huang Gai and Zu Mao. Moreover, the Wu soldiers all shouted "Taishi"
Ci was killed and the lord was injured. Dian Wei and others protected the lord and retreated. Now Sun Jian leads his army to pursue the lord. The situation is critical and the lord must be rescued."
When Gan Ning heard this, he immediately became anxious.
He said in a deep voice: "Military advisor, our lord is in danger. We should ignore Huang Gai for now and focus on rescuing our lord."
Xu Shu nodded and said: "No matter what Wu Jun said is true or false? We must rescue the lord, but the opportunity to destroy Wu Jun cannot be missed. I think we should divide our troops to promote hegemony. You and Zhou Tai will lead some soldiers to rescue the lord, and the rest of the soldiers will stay.
At Huangpoling, follow me to destroy the fleeing Wu soldiers."
Pound rushed over and said: "Military advisor, Lu Su led 30,000 soldiers to fight out, join the Wu army, and cover the Wu army's retreat. After the Wu army merged, there were about 120,000 to 30,000 people, and there were vague soldiers in the surrounding reeds, and the rest of the hillside
There seems to be an ambush in Heshanlin. If we continue to pursue, we may be blocked and it will be difficult to destroy the Wu army."
Xu Shu frowned and said, "This Lu Su is quite capable."
Pang De said eagerly: "Commander, don't worry about so much for now, let's talk about what to do."
Gan Ning frowned and said: "Military advisor, since Lu Su has already made preparations, it is no longer possible for us to destroy the Wu army. The main thing is to lead the army to rescue the lord. Once the army catches up, they can block Sun Jian's retreat road.
At that time, not only will the lord be saved, but Sun Jian can also be killed. Besides, since Sun Jian is dead, Wu Jun will not have to worry."
Zhou Tai and Pang De nodded at the same time, agreeing with Gan Ning's words.
Xu Shu still wanted to divide his troops, but seeing that Zhou Tai and Pang De also recognized Gan Ning's method, they finally agreed to Gan Ning's strategy. The army bypassed the Wu army and headed towards the camp.
