Outside Guangxin City, Le Jin and Chen Dao led their troops in pursuit for several miles and killed countless enemies. They stopped when they saw that they were far away from the city.
Le Jin looked at the retreating Jiangdong Army with burning eyes. This time Lu Meng came with 30,000 people, and at least there were more than 10,000 people here. This Guangxin offensive and defensive battle was like a meat grinder. It only took an hour or two. So many people died.
As for the Guangxin garrison, although the number of dead was far less than that of Jiangdong's army, there were also many injured.
However, Le Jin was extremely excited to win this battle at such a small cost.
All of this comes from the support of Beifu.
Although Cao Wu was not here, one Cao Asi was able to defeat tens of thousands of soldiers. I couldn't help but be happy and sigh.
Le Jin said with a smile: "Three thousand defenders killed Jiang Xin and wiped out ten thousand enemies. This battle can really be recorded in the history books. In the future, my uncle will obey orders under the tent of Beifu. When he becomes prosperous, don't forget me."
Le Jin was good at winning over people. He knew that Chen Daoshi would get an official position after the founding of the Beifu and was considered a retainer of the Beifu, so he spoke in a flattering tone.
Chen Dao smiled bitterly and said: "A surrendered general cannot be put to great use. The general of Beifu is so talented that it is not easy for him to support me."
He's not that good at talking.
The two exchanged a few words and were both very happy, but they were still very worried when talking about the battle of the main force of Cao's army.
"Speaking of which, whether Guangxin City can be defended depends on the situation of the main battle."
The two arrived at the city gate and discussed for a while, but they couldn't help but look worried as they couldn't reach a conclusion.
But I heard a crisp voice say: "My general, if you defeat Zhou Yu once, you can win a second time. The only difference is how many Zhou Yu's troops can be left behind. It is best to keep them all!"
The two of them turned around, only to see Cao Asi, the great hero today, speaking. They both felt that the little girl didn't understand military matters, and that only the one they could trust would be able to do well in a battle, so they couldn't help but smile at each other.
But once she said it, they began to trust Cao Wu.
This young man who is newly promoted to open the mansion is really convincing.
…
The fleeing Jiangdong Army was not so lucky. Lü Meng and Han Dang led the army to flee all the way. They met Ling Tong on the way and heard him talk about what happened in the prefect's mansion.
Several people couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the passing of time was unlucky. Who would have thought that one of Liu Bei's guards could be so powerful and ruin a major event in Jiangdong.
"After all, Liu Xuande is not a person inferior to others. I don't know where he went."
Lu Meng shook his head, dismissed the idea, and began to consider the impact of his defeat on the overall situation of the Jiaozhou battle. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a clue.
Cangwu Guangxin and Jiaozhilongbian were the two fulcrums of this battle. Now that one of the fulcrums was lost, he could only return to Longbian, or think otherwise.
Lu Meng knew more than Han Dang. When he led his army, he heard something from Zhou Yu.
Above the sea, there are their reinforcements.
A young man named Wei Wen was leading three ships from Jiangdong to cruise on the sea.
Therefore, Lu Meng decided to contact Wei Wen first, and then consider whether to use Wei Wen's power to continue attacking Guangxin or go back to Longbian.
…
On the Bai Dang River, the fighting on the east and west banks continued, with people constantly falling and weapons constantly having their blades broken.
The water of Baiteng River was dyed red by corpses one after another. Even though the river flow was fast, the places near the shore still turned into blood.
On both sides of the bank, Cao's army had the upper hand, and all it needed was time to end the battle.
But it has to be said that on the east coast, the cavalry led by Cheng Pu had extremely strong willpower. Even when their leader died in battle, they still resisted and no one surrendered.
In this regard, Cao Wu couldn't help feeling that Cheng Pu had underestimated himself after all, and he himself had underestimated Jiang Dongjun.
If Cheng Pu could be more stable, it is still unclear who will win, at least it will not lead to such a disastrous defeat.
But for Zhou Yu in Jiang Center, what he saw was not like this.
He looked at the overall situation and had no objection to Cheng Pu because of Cheng Pu's defeat. On the contrary, he admired Cheng Pu. At least in that situation, he might not be able to attack so decisively.
Unfortunately, Cheng Pu lost to the infantry team blocking Cao Wu, and died because of Cao Wu's tactics of using iron pipe guns to scare away the horses.
"There are already such infantry in the world, and there are such weapons."
Zhou Yu let out a long sigh and stood up. He saw that Cao Wu opposite him had also stood up.
Cao Wu stretched out his hand with his thumb pointing down, making a provocative gesture.
However, Zhou Yu could only see Cao Wu stretching out his hand, but could not clearly see Cao Wu's gesture. He looked up to the sky and whistled an arrow into the sky.
It's time for the big ship to arrive.
This place is close to the mouth of Baiteng River. Three huge ships appeared on the river in the distance.
These ships may not be as strong as the Five-Toothed Ship, but in terms of size, they are even slightly smaller than Cao Jun's Five-Toothed Ship. As soon as they appeared, they headed towards the Baitengjiang battlefield at full speed.
Look at the time, it may take two-quarters of an hour to get here.
On the ship, there is also Zhou Yu's last trump card, an ambush force that can influence the situation of the battle.
Although countless Jiangdong soldiers would be strangled in these two quarters of an hour, Zhou Yu had no idea of releasing this ambush in advance.
Zhou Yu closed his eyes.
To be a commander, you need to know how to choose. The final sharp knife must be used when the opponent is most tired.
Now, Cao Jun did have the upper hand, but as soon as his ambush arrived, the situation completely changed.
On both sides of the river bank, all the generals saw those big ships.
The generals of Cao's army, Zhang Liao, Li Dian and others, suddenly frowned and quickly ordered their subordinates to speed up the attack. They instinctively realized that the Jiangdong ships joining the battlefield at this time would definitely be difficult to deal with.
Those who were being surrounded and killed, such as Zhu Ling, Pan Zhang, and Lu Fan, became excited. They began to restrain their men and try to delay as much time as possible.
As the three ships sailed retrograde on the river, more and more soldiers saw its traces. The mentality of the soldiers on both sides changed significantly. Cao Jun was anxious and Jiangdong was delayed, which became the current situation.
The blood was still flowing into the Baiteng River, but at a slower pace. An experienced person like Zhu Ling even started to defend on the spot instead of breaking through, and Zhang Liao had nothing to do with his move.
Lu Xun stood on the slope of the west bank, also very anxious, but for a moment he didn't know what to do.
In this war, when Cheng Pu rushed out, the west bank was no longer important. He thought he could take advantage of the situation and wipe out the Jiangdong Army, but unexpectedly Zhou Yu had a back-up plan.
"Gong Jin, you really have to count all the people in your life."
Lu Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head leisurely.
The only thing he could do was to urge Xu Huang and Huang Zhong to try to attack Zhou Tai and Huang Gai through bamboo rafts and other objects, and then try to kill Zhou Yu.
But he knew that this was difficult to achieve. Xu and Huang were indeed very capable, but Zhou Tai and Huang Gai were also not ordinary people.
Lu Xun's eyes fell on Cao Wu on the other side of the river. He was further away than Zhou Yu and could not see Cao Wu's expression clearly.
But he thought, even if Cao Wu had eyes and hands all over the sky, he might not be able to do anything, right?
As expected, Zhou Yu was still the same Zhou Yu. The ambush that he had not put in until now actually hit Cao Jun's seven inches.
What to do?
How to break the situation?
