In this battle of Bai Tengjiang, both sides had four general commanders. Cao Jun was Cao Wu and Lu Xun, and Jiangdong was Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu.
Zhou Yu could understand Cheng Pu and if he killed Cao Wu, Cao's army on the east bank would be defeated.
Although I don’t know the information yet, this kind of thing has happened too many times in this era of cold weapons. This principle is similar to the defeat of the siege army outside Guangxin City after Jiang Xin's death.
Zhou Yu could also understand Lu Xun. Lu Xun designed many countermeasures. He relied on Tian Ji's horse racing strategy and took advantage of Cao's generals to firmly hold the west bank in his hands.
But Zhou Yu found that he could not understand Cao Wu at all.
Zhou Yu calculated step by step, calculating too many gains and losses, and calculating too many wins and losses, but Cao Wu was not like this. Cao didn't lose his son, he lost his son.
Whether you believe in Lu Xun or Zhang Liao, what he wants is for people to make the best use of them.
But Zhou Yu is different. Zhou Yu believes that every soldier on the battlefield must be as accurate as an instrument. They are all nails and screws, and they all exist to execute his tactics.
In order to ensure that the Yangtze River could be dug, he did not hesitate to use Dong Cheng as bait and Lu Xun as supervisor.
But now, he couldn't understand the situation at all.
It was impossible for Wei Wen to surrender. The Wei family was also an aristocratic family, and Sun Quan was very kind to Wei Wen.
Then, there is only one reason why the three sea ships belong to Cao Jun.
This was captured by Cao Jun.
But, why, Cao Jun didn’t even have a boat, and he only had a bamboo raft to cross the river! Bamboo rafts may have a chance of breaking through Huang Gai's ordinary ships, but it is impossible to break through sea-going ships. The water lines are different, and they can't even climb up the side of the ship.
Why?
He couldn't figure it out. The only thing he knew was that he had lost this round.
Compared with the time in Red Cliff, the defeat was more complete.
"Captain, Governor!"
Zhou Tai shook Zhou Yu's body, and Zhou Yu woke up from his trance. He looked towards the hillside on the other side.
This time, he finally saw Cao Wu's gesture clearly, a downward thumb.
He had never seen this gesture before, but he could roughly guess what it meant if he took a guess.
Zhou Yu staggered back a few steps as if struck by lightning.
There is nothing more devastating than being reversed after winning.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw!"
"good!"
Zhou Tai quickly agreed, but he looked at the Jiangdong Army who were still fighting on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and gritted his teeth and said: "Then they..."
After hearing these words, Zhou Yu's hands dropped weakly for the first time. Before that, these hands had clearly meant all the people in his life.
"Let everyone evacuate, as many as you can escape."
At the end, he added: "Meet in Yuzhang."
"What?"
Zhou Tai couldn't believe it. Yuzhang was far north of Jiaozhou, more than a thousand miles away from here. They retreated and met up with Yuzhang, which meant that it was very likely that most people would be chased to death within a thousand miles.
I'm afraid the only ones who escaped were their troops in the boat.
Even for a tough guy like Zhou Tai, his hands began to tremble, but he couldn't give such a cold-blooded order.
Huang Gai came over, grabbed the command arrow in Zhou Tai's hand, took a few steps to the side of the ship, and gave orders to the messengers.
The veteran Huang Gai played the role of a general when Zhou Yu was discouraged.
Jiangdong's horn sounded for a long time.
It's the clarion call to retreat.
As if hearing the sound of nature, Zhu Ling finally put down the knife in his hand.
"withdraw!"
Zhu Ling led the Northern Front Jiangdong Army north along the Baitang River.
Lu Fan on the southern front doesn't have to be so troublesome. His troops have been dispersed. It's easier for him to retreat by himself.
However, although Lu Fan was young, he was brave. While fighting his way out of the crowd, he turned around and shot an arrow towards Li Dian, who was unprepared when he gave the order.
Li Dian was noticed and shot in the shoulder blade. He frowned and continued to pursue, but failed to catch up with Lu Fan, so he changed his goal and changed it to annihilating the remaining Jiangdong Army to the maximum extent. This move was very effective. Pan Zhang and Lu Fan's army was almost completely wiped out here.
Xu Sheng, who was being chased by the tiger and leopard knights, suddenly reined in his horse and looked at Shuai Qi on the Baiteng River with red eyes.
"Grand Governor, Xu, from now on I can only live in hell and fight with you!"
After saying this, he raised his sword and rushed towards the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Xiu with a shout.
He chanted his name loudly.
"A certain person is Langya Xu Wenxiang. He conquered Jingzhou and Yangzhou from General Sun, and conquered Jiaozhou from Zhou Dudu. He traveled across the country..."
He didn't finish what he said. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were unethical and were completely besieging them.
Just like when he killed Xing Daorong, he was ruthless.
Cause and effect reincarnate, retribution is unpleasant.
Cao Xiu pulled out the knife inserted in Xu Sheng's abdomen, and blood covered his face.
He wiped the blood on his face, and the passionate teenager's whole body was boiling.
He cut off Xu Sheng's head and shouted loudly: "Xu Sheng is dead, Xu Sheng is dead!"
Right here, Jiang Biao's twelve tiger ministers died in battle.
At the same time, Huang Gaibu temporarily avoided the entanglement of Huang Zhong's bamboo rafts and began to flee downstream along the Bai Dang River.
Zhou Tai put Zhou Yu in the cabin. At this point, there is no need for the Grand Governor to give any more orders.
Zhou Tai was shocked when he came out of the cabin.
A woman in white walked back and forth on the bow of his boat.
The sword energy was flying from the bow of the ship. Huang Gai fought with her with his sword, but he couldn't touch the corner of her clothes.
The woman seemed to know that she would not be able to defeat Huang Gai in a head-on fight, so she only killed the soldiers and did not fight with Huang Gai.
In just a few breaths, several soldiers died.
With a "boom", the ship hit Zhou Tai's ship, and then a completely incomprehensible voice sounded in Zhou Tai's ears.
He looked up and saw a group of savages who looked like they were still drinking blood. Their clothes were not neatly dressed. Everyone was black and short. There were a lot of them. They shouted something loudly and jumped off the ship.
"Who is this?"
Zhou Tai was stunned for a moment. He was unparalleled in bravery, but he had never seen such a person. When did Cao Jun recruit a group of savages to fight?
No one answered him, only the dead soldiers and the besieged Huang Gai.
Zhou Tai quickly jumped into the battle with a knife.
Enough generals had died today, he could not let Huang Gai die again.
…
In Longbian City and the Governor's Mansion, Shi Xie finally read out the sentences against all the traitors. Almost all of them were killed. The only difference was whether they were Yi tribesmen or not, and whether their homes were confiscated.
This kind of decisive killing made Man Chong, a cruel official, have his eyebrows twitching, but he could understand that Shi Xie had no choice but to take this strategy in order to suppress one party's forces.
However, Man Chong was also worried. If all those who opposed Shi Xie died, then he, the Jiaozhou Mu, would become a real stand-up, and no one could even be found who could stand up to Shi Xie.
In this case, Jiaozhou can still only have the surname Shi, not Cao.
This was not the purpose of Man Chong coming here. Man Chong couldn't sit still. He looked to the side and saw that the young man named Jiang Wan under Cao Wu had returned.
But he found that when Jiang Wan came back this time, he looked stupid, as if he had been shocked by something.
As Shi Xie finished reading, Man Chong knew that he could not wait any longer. He patted Jiang Wan quietly and wanted to say something.
Just at this moment, a loud laugh sounded outside the door.
"I don't know, Commander-in-Chief, are you finished?"
"who?"
Shi Xie's eyes suddenly darkened. The person who came out at this time must be someone who challenged Shi Xie's majesty.
That night, he obviously killed countless people, even three of his brothers, and even sentenced the Yi tribe several times. Why would anyone dare to take the lead?
Man Chong was overjoyed. No matter who came, as long as he was against Shi Xie, it proved that he could win over him.
Both of them listened with their ears pricked up, only listening to the man outside the door.
"Shi Zhuge Liang, the commander-in-chief of Beifu, is here for a visit and would like to ask some questions from the prefect."
