Even if there is no one to direct it, failure is impossible.
What's more, the commander in chief is a navy general like Gan Ning?
Without any hesitation, Gan Ning issued the order for the entire army to attack.
The Gaihai took the lead, and the surrounding ships rushed forward crazily.
In just a moment, an encirclement was formed.
Being caught off guard, Cheng Pu's army was instantly in chaos!
Who would have thought that the Qin army would suddenly emerge?
Or an elite naval force with giant ships and countless stern warships?
Even Cheng Pu himself was panicked and stayed there for a long time at a loss.
By the time he reacted and ordered the entire army to retreat, it was already too late!
The Gaihai was riding on his face, and arrows were pouring down from the sky.
Cheng Pujun is either on a bamboo raft or a fishing boat. How to resist?
In an instant, there were heavy casualties and the army was in chaos!
Taking advantage of this gap, the Qin army's sterns crossed in and knocked over more than a hundred ships of Cheng Pu's army just by collision!
As soon as the battle began, more than half of Cheng Pu's soldiers were lost!
This battle is impossible to fight!
It can be said that you can’t even resist!
Cheng Pu had no choice but to retreat first by relying on the speed of walking.
In the end, all five thousand soldiers died on the Yangtze River!
Cheng Pu and Han Dang only escaped with their lives.
Due to the special geographical location of Guangling County and the support of the entire Jiangdong, there are actually not many soldiers and horses that can be dispatched.
Only Cheng Pu and Han Dang had a total of 10,000 soldiers under their command.
Apart from this, Sun Quan did not support any soldiers.
Huainan Zhou Yu was not at odds with the elders, let alone able to support his troops.
Ten thousand men were therefore required almost entirely for defence.
Even so, it still seems stretched.
These five thousand troops can be said to have been gathered together by Cheng Pu and Han Dang with great effort by cutting out their hearts and flesh.
It's a pity that they were all destroyed at once.
Cheng Pu was extremely regretful, and Han Dang was so angry that he stamped his feet.
After this battle, not to mention supporting Jiangdong, even Guangling's surname was a big question mark.
Even if Cheng Pu and Han Dang were to cut off their wrists, it would be useless if Guangling's entire army did not turn back to Jiangdong.
Yu Fushui's army crossed the river to block the road, and there was no way for the two of them to cross the river.
From the moment Gan Ning appeared, Guangling County's contact with the Jiangdong hinterland was completely severed.
The two of them can only hope that Sun Quan is safe and sound in Guangling County.
On the other hand, under the protection of Lu Meng, Zhou Yu successfully escaped back to Shouchun.
Fortunately, no one knew anything else, and all the cities in Jiujiang County were still in Zhou Yu's hands.
So this journey has been extremely smooth.
After Zhou Yu confirmed the safety, on the one hand he ordered all the cities to be on guard and on the defensive, on the other hand he immediately sent people to Liyang to recall the Chai Sang navy.
Now that the break with Sun Quan is confirmed, there is no need to defend the Yangtze River waterline for Sun Quan.
As for what to do when the Qin army crosses the river, can Sun Quan resist the Qin army on the bank?
None of this has anything to do with Zhou Yu.
At present, Zhou Yu has only one purpose, which is to strengthen the defense of the main cities in Jiujiang and rely on the navy to defend Huaihe River.
Use powerful means to assume a posture of resisting Cao Cao in the north and resisting Liu Zhang in the south!
It was precisely because Zhou Yu suddenly withdrew Chaisang's navy that Gan Ning easily broke through to the waters below Guangling County.
It can be said that Zhou Yu is fully responsible for the defeat of Cheng Pu and Han Dang!
Finally, after the Wei army was defeated, Cao Cao fled in panic.
They simply did not dare to go north to Xuzhou through the areas controlled by Zhou Yu.
Cao Cao took the few remaining defeated soldiers and took a small road into Yuzhou, preparing to head to Xuchang first before making further calculations.
This battle almost destroyed Cao Cao's confidence.
Since the rise of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been countless wars and defeats, but never once have they been so desperate.
Liu Zhang is like a big mountain, towering and motionless. No matter how hard Cao Cao tries, he can't hurt him at all.
Defeat Liu Zhang, destroy Qin, and unify the world?
In Cao Cao's mind, this matter has changed from a question of whether it can be completed to a certainty that it cannot be completed!
Fortunately, Cao Cao did not ignore it just because he was frustrated.
On the way to the retreat, soldiers were also sent to order the army stationed on the banks of the Huai River to retreat.
This 100,000-strong army is really Cao Cao's last asset, and it is also Cao Cao's last strength in the Central Plains.
In the future, it will also be the front line against Liu Zhang!
One hundred thousand troops retreated to Xuzhou, and Cao Cao fled back to Yuzhou, which was considered a blessing in misfortune.
Zhang He, who had the best luck, was picked up by soldiers on the way to escape and was brought back to Yuzhou.
I have to lament Zhang He's tenacious desire to survive. He resisted Dian Wei's halberd and still managed to hold his breath.
Under the care of doctors, a life was finally saved.
However, it may be difficult to return to its heyday in the future.
Cao Cao was already disheartened by the defeat. Coupled with Cao Ren's missing, it was even more mixed.
There were fewer and fewer capable people around him, and the situation was getting worse and worse. Cao Cao did not punish Zhang He too much.
Xu Chu, the general of Tianbang, died in battle, and the Dibang became the ceiling for the Wei army.
How could Cao Cao be willing to kill Zhang He again?
Not only that, but he was also able to comfort him and let him rest in peace.
In this way, Cao Cao fled back to Xuchang in embarrassment with his remaining defeated soldiers.
Looking at the capital he built, and then at his messy robe and disheveled hair, Cao Cao felt desperate.
Think about how glorious it was when Yuan Shao was eliminated?
But now, how embarrassed is it?
In the past, the army numbered hundreds of thousands, but it easily gathered over half a million!
Money, food, baggage, logistics, and supplies are countless!
Inexhaustible and inexhaustible!
All the families in the world are trembling with fear and dare not disobey him in the slightest!
What kind of scenery is it to be called a duke, a king, and establish a country?
But now, everything has changed.
But taking a closer look, it seems that nothing has changed.
Cao Cao sighed and couldn't help but burst into tears.
This has not changed, and that is the biggest change.
Cao Cao, the mighty king of Wei and the hero of the troubled times, has become a joke!
Cao Cao covered his forehead, full of unwillingness, and he felt very dazed.
When did everything change?
Where did it start that I was on my way to the abyss and never returned?
Suddenly, Cao Cao shook violently.
He remembered!
