Boom boom boom!
"Kill--!"
"rush--!"
Ding-ding-ding-ding——
The silence of Yiling Beishan at night was ruthlessly broken once again by the sound of war drums and the sound of weapons clashing from the bottom of the mountain.
"I ****, he ****!" The tall and thin man cursed and turned over to sit up. "Get up, stop sleeping! It's time to gather!"
Scarface lay on the hay mat with a painful expression: "Gather them together, this time it must be the bastards from the Shu Army who are trying to bluff us."
Wang Meng didn't say anything, but silently stood up and put on his weapon.
"You're the only one who's smart? Just wait and see, and the military lord will give you a whip when he sees it." The tall and thin man said angrily, he hadn't thought about it yet.
When Scarface heard the whip, he hurriedly got up and prepared, muttering: "Damn, those wild monkeys in the mountains, uncivilized barbarians! They won't let anyone have a moment of leisure."
It was already the second day, and those bastards from the Shu army did not attack. They only sent small teams of men and horses to the foot of the mountain at random times, day and night, to beat drums and roar.
The noise was so loud that when they sent troops out of the camp, they couldn't even find the ghost...
After repeating it three times, General Lu also realized that this was a ploy by the Shu army to mistrust and tire out the troops, and also sent out small teams in turns to patrol down the mountain, trying to ensure that others were not affected.
Most of the Shu troops who can perform this task are barbarian soldiers in the mountains. Their daily living environment is not much different from this place, and they are used to walking and fighting in the mountains.
On the other hand, the Wu army, except for some conscripted Shanyue soldiers, was not adapted to the mountain environment at all.
Even the Yue soldiers in Dongwu Mountain were far less familiar with the characteristics of the mountains than the Yi soldiers, and they suffered a big loss in this small-scale confrontation.
Not only were they unable to catch the slippery Shu army, but they also took the opportunity to capture a small team!
Although the loss was only a few dozen people, the generals of Wu Army were extremely angry and cursed all day long.
No matter how harsh the scolding was, once the war drums started shouting for death, the soldiers had to prepare for war.
Violating General Lu's military orders, military law is not just for show.
This strategy waits for the enemy to be tired and give a fatal blow when they slack off in defense. How could Lu Xun and Xie Jing, who knew this well, dare to slack off?
Lu Xun, who was determined to follow the same pattern, gave up the idea after he sent out the first team that also planned to secretly cause trouble for the Shu army, but was wiped out by the Yi soldiers in the mountains...
As a result, in the past two days, the Shu army had a great time attacking Lu Xun Mountain today and Xie Jing Mountain tomorrow.
"General Lu, if this continues, the soldiers will be exhausted, the morale of the army will be greatly damaged, and disaster will inevitably occur." Lu Xun's generals asked for advice one after another.
Lu Xun also had a headache about this.
To deal with enemy soldiers who are playing this trick, either send small groups of troops to take turns patrolling, and once the enemy is discovered, they will immediately go forward to chase and drive them away.
Or use the same method to deal with the enemy.
But both methods failed.
For the current plan, either launch a general attack as soon as possible before the soldiers collapse, or wait for an opportunity to evacuate.
In fact, Lu Xun had already given up attacking Yiling when he discovered that Yizhou reinforcements had arrived.
The enemy could not be defeated before the reinforcements from Yizhou arrived, and launching a general offensive now would only be a meaningless death.
Unlike the other generals who were woken up, Lu Xun, who had not yet fallen asleep, had a calm expression and was still observing the map calmly under the firelight.
But he knew very well that his plan to capture Jingzhou had failed.
Now that the west line of the Yangtze River is controlled by the Yizhou Army, taking Wuling and Lingling has become a fantasy.
If Wuling and Lingling cannot be taken, the Public Security Bureau will lose its role as an economic hub that gathers resources in southwestern Jingxi.
It has only military significance and has become a simple Yangtze River defense fortification.
At this point, we can only settle for the next best thing, capture Nanjun, control the resources of Jingbei, and rely on the Jiangling Public Security Bureau to confront Xishu.
The Lord's army...should have captured Gangneung, right?
If he could escape unscathed, or at least not suffer too much loss, and guard Jiangling and Gong'an respectively with his lord, he could use this as a basis to continue fighting for Nanjun with Xishu.
So the next step is where to retreat.
There are two optional routes. One is to go east, take Maicheng, and then follow the Zhangshui River into the Yangtze River and reach Jiangling by water.
Or southeast, go to Yidu, and go directly eastward from the Yangtze River.
Going north along the mountain road to Linju, taking a detour, although there is no Shu army guarding it, it is Cao Cao's territory.
If there were only a few dozen cavalry, it would be okay. If he leads such a large army across the border, if Cao Wei misjudges his strategy and joins the Shu army in attacking Wu, the cost will be devastating and it is definitely not feasible.
Needless to say, going west.
The road to the east has been firmly blocked by Liu Chan and Guan Yu. The best route can only be to take the southeast, taking Yidu which has not yet been captured by the Shu army.
This naturally requires the support of Li Yishui's army.
"Someone is coming."
"exist."
"Send an order to Li Yishui's army and order them to stick to Yidu and wait for our army to arrive. No mistakes should be made!"
"yes!"
The messengers hurried away and left the camp at night to deliver the orders. Lu Xun had already made the decision to retreat to the southeast.
But withdrawal could not be withdrawn directly. Lu Xun wrote down a letter and put it in the brocade bag.
"Send this letter to Xie Jing."
"yes!"
Tomorrow, he and Xie Jing will divide a small number of troops to feign an attack to the south. Seeing this, the Jingzhou Army will definitely go down the mountain to attack. Once the main force of the Jingzhou Army has passed, it will be the best time for them to break through to the southeast.
Maybe we can take the opportunity to flank the Jingzhou army and bite them hard.
However, Lu Xun, who was planning to retreat and inflict maximum losses on the enemy before leaving, did not know that at this time, more than 500 people had already climbed up his mountain in the dark...
After observing the Yiling defenders resorting to tactics of doubting and exhausting their troops, Liu Chan concluded that Uncle Zhuge was here.
This is not only harassing Lu Xun's army, but also sending a signal to himself!
The meaning of Uncle Zhuge's move must be that he understood his strategic intentions and made corresponding arrangements to cooperate with him.
To say that his trust in the ability of this famous hexagonal prime minister in history is probably not lower than that of Lao Liu, or even higher.
Liu Chan, who was confident in his heart, immediately let go of his plans. He immediately asked Guan Yu and Guan Ping to lead ten thousand people to sneak down the mountain in batches from the rear. The camp on the mountain did not reduce the cooking stoves and maintained the scale of the cooking smoke to paralyze the Wu army.
Liu Feng and Liao Hua led the rest of the troops to continue garrisoning and did not move.
He himself took five hundred regular troops to touch it tonight.
He wanted to attack Lu Xun's camp at night and send a beautiful signal to Uncle Zhuge.
In the past few years, there is an additional benefit of giving the pro-army balanced nutrition every day, that is, their night vision ability has been significantly improved.
At least on a moonlit night like tonight, the winter mountain trees are not blocked by their many lush leaves, so it is not difficult to see.
Many of his close soldiers were former bandits, and even those who were not followed him into the mountains to suppress bandits all year round. Going up the mountain was no different from returning home.
They didn't light torches and walked up the mountain vigorously in the darkness of night.
The sentry posted by Wu Jun along the mountain road was more conspicuous than the lice on the bald man's head because of the burning torches.
After easily touching the sentry post, Liu Chan and others sneaked all the way to Lu Xun Camp without being discovered.
No, it was still discovered by someone.
The camp where Wang Meng was located happened to be where Liu Chan and others came from.
Unlike Wu Jun, Wang Meng's night vision ability is also not bad. In addition, he is as careful as a hair, so he is a little concerned about the anomalies in the mountains and forests.
After the brief shock, he immediately rolled his eyes, raised his hands and said: "Marquis, my subordinates are in urgent need!"
The military lord who was quarreled at night was also very angry, and immediately yelled and cursed: "Damn it, I can't kill the enemy, but I'll piss a lot! If the Shu army really attacks, will they give you time to shit and pee?"
Wang Meng looked helpless, but still nodded in agreement.
When the military prince saw this man who worked hard and never complained, he was less angry and said, "Go and come back quickly!"
Wang Meng's face was overjoyed and he said with a naive smile: "Yes!"
Anyway, it was just the Shu army bluffing, and the military lord didn't think they could really fight.
Wang Meng immediately ran towards the back of the tent.
He was not sure if the Shu army was attacking the camp, but just now he felt that the mountain forest was a bit unruly.
But if the prince is on the other side, he can do this kind of thing.
Even if he was accidentally killed by his own people, at this critical moment, he still thought it was necessary to take the risk.
When Liu Chan saw a Wu soldier running towards him, he thought something was wrong and had already taken off his bow.
Several pro-soldiers nearby also set up crossbows and aimed with the "Wangshan" on the crossbows.
However, at this time, they discovered that Wu Jun was trotting over, his hands still busy as he ran.
He was making strange and exaggerated movements, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't see him.
Others may have thought that he was stretching his muscles in the cold weather, but Liu Chan and others were very familiar with this action.
This is the spear killing method Liu Chan taught them!
He was holding the air spear empty-handed and doing these actions in a cycle.
"Don't fire the arrow yet!" Liu Chan, who realized something was wrong, stopped his subordinates, and then saw Wu Jun running closer and closer as he continued these actions.
After he was far away from the torch and the crowd, he immediately shouted in a low voice towards himself.
"I... wild..."
When he ran closer, Liu Chan finally heard what he was saying.
"I'm a jungler!"
