"Huh...huh..." Zhao Lei gasped, mechanically opening the bow, aiming, and releasing the arrow.
Due to continuous bowing, the fingers were worn by the bow string, healed, and then were worn again.
By now, the flesh and blood are so bloody that the original shape cannot be seen.
"Hold! General Guan and the Prince's army are returning for reinforcements! As long as we hold on, we won't have to die!"
This statement is full of flaws if you think about it for a moment. Everyone is sealed in the city. We don’t know anything about it. How do you know that the army is returning for reinforcements?
But that’s not important. No one cares whether the news is true or false. Everyone is just using it to numb themselves and squeeze out the last bit of strength from themselves.
But the situation suddenly changed.
Wu Jun retreated...
I don’t know why, but the Wu army, which was still attacking Jiangling in waves, suddenly receded like an ebbing tide.
The nearby Wu army stopped attacking the city and just stood in line outside the bloody moat, while the army in the rear began to evacuate southward one after another.
"Hiss! Why are you stepping on me?" Shen Zhong glared at Zhao Lei standing aside.
Zhao Lei looked dumb and muttered: "I just want to see if I'm dreaming..."
"Then why the hell are you stepping on me?!"
It was just after noon at this time, and it was absolutely impossible for the Wu army to retreat without special circumstances.
Especially when the defenders like myself are exhausted, they will not give themselves any chance to breathe.
As long as they have a few more hours to rest, they can stay on guard for a few more days.
The Wu general who commanded the siege was not that stupid.
And the Jiangling garrison was like this. Even if the Wu army general was crazy, he would not be able to use any tactic to lure the enemy.
So... what special situation would that be?
Zhao Lei didn't dare to think about it, but his heart couldn't stop throbbing.
"General! Wu's army has retreated!" the soldiers on the side shouted in surprise.
Only then did Zhao Lei realize that this was the perfect time to boost morale!
He hurriedly shouted: "Brothers! We have driven back the Wu army! The rats from Jiangdong are vulnerable to a single blow!"
"Oh - Jiangdong rat! Vulnerable!"
"Iron-walled Jiangling! Steady as a mountain!"
The soldiers guarding the city cheered, and then gradually merged into a uniform shout, taunting the Wu army below the city, venting the panic and anxiety that had been accumulated in their hearts for the past few days.
Wu Jun below the city heard the shouts coming from above. He did not have any overreaction, but was filled with joy.
It's fine if you don't need to attack the city, you can say whatever you want.
Ordinary soldiers of Wu don't care about Jingzhou or strategy, they have had enough! Not dying is better than anything else.
"I said..." Wang Zuo couldn't hold back his excitement and trembling hands, and whispered, "General Zhao, Brother Shen, could it be...our reinforcements are coming?"
Zhao Lei didn't say anything, he still couldn't believe it.
Although Shen Zhong's face was full of joy, he didn't seem so surprised. He smiled and said, "I told you long ago that the prince will definitely come! It's just that you don't believe it."
Plop.
Zhao Lei and Wang Zuo fell to the ground like Zhu Ran opposite them, as if their bones had been taken away.
It's just that their expressions and moods are completely different from each other.
"Ha...hahahaha!"
Zhao Lei and Wang Zuo looked at each other and laughed.
…
In the last section of the journey, Liu Chan and the vanguard cavalry had to dismount and walk.
After successive battles, although there were not many casualties, they no longer had that many spare horses.
Liu Chan, who knew how important information was in war, strictly ordered that the extra horses must be scouted and transferred first.
In order to fight for a while, they must let their horses rest and restore their power.
Getting closer and closer to Jiangling, Guan Yu and Guan Ping are the most excited.
I remember that they were forced to lead more than 10,000 remaining soldiers to leave in embarrassment. Today, they finally led the army back!
Jingzhou will not be lost!
Apart from the Guan family and his son, Liu Chan was the most excited.
When I was a child, no one believed me; when I was young, no one listened.
He has the title of Liu Bei's son, but he is too young and cannot exert any effort at all.
In addition, at that time, my mind was filled with the idea of being invincible through time travel, and I was thinking about making guns and cannons every day.
It was completely unexpected that the blacksmith at this time could not even make a classic Chinese cooking pot.
After years of running into obstacles and being harshly educated by the cruel era of the Three Kingdoms, he finally understood a simple truth.
Just because you are the boss does not mean that everyone will listen to you unconditionally, but when everyone is willing to listen to you, you are the true boss.
Not to mention that he was just the "boss's son" at the time.
Since then, he has worked tirelessly to improve his abilities in all aspects of civil and military affairs every day, and carefully utilized the limited resources at his disposal.
Now it finally pays off. Liu Chan has successfully rewritten history!
Nowadays, Prince Liu Chan's prestige in the Jingzhou army has been gained through victory after victory.
He is no longer the little Adou who was full of unrealistic ideas and could only talk nonsense.
As long as Jiangling is still in hand, this battle can be won quickly!
"Report——! Prince, several generals, Jiangling is still in my hands, and the Wu army is still attacking the city!"
The moment I heard the news, a big stone finally fell to my heart.
Well done!
Liu Chan and several generals looked at each other and immediately ordered the entire army to rush to rescue Jiangling!
…
The Soochow army was stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and they were also transported by ship in batches.
At this time, they said they were going to evacuate, but how could they fly to the south bank in the blink of an eye?
Zhu Ran ordered his generals to lead five thousand family members to dig trenches outside the dock and set up deer antlers for garrison.
On the Yangtze River, high-rise ships were arranged on the upper reaches of the pier, followed by fighting ships, sterns, and sterns on standby, preparing to block the Shu navy.
The army crossed the river in batches and returned to the police.
These five thousand family tribes are the previously well-equipped supervising team.
It's not that they are not responsible for fighting, but Zhu Ran must devote them to the moment when they are most needed and cannot waste them in siege battles.
He originally thought that the time when the elite troops would be deployed would be to encircle and strangle Guan Yu after occupying Jiangling.
Unexpectedly, it was used to withdraw troops and cut off the rear.
It was nearly dusk, and most of the Wu army finally withdrew, and Zhu Ran also boarded the ship heading south with this group of troops.
Knowing what the Lord has learned from his past experience, he does not want to play the role of personally cutting off the queen here.
If he really falls into it, will the army that has already retreated come back to rescue him?
After boarding the ship, Zhu Ran looked to the west sadly.
With such a large-scale Shu army coming to kill, there is no need to ask what will happen to Lu Xun's 30,000 troops.
Yizhou reinforcements arrived faster than expected, and Guan Yu's troops were more tenacious than expected.
"God may not bless me Jiangdong..."
Um?
Zhu Ran, who was standing on the bow of the boat and sighing secretly, suddenly discovered that there was a lot of smoke and dust in the west!
Suddenly frightened, he looked towards the river in the distance and saw the shadow of the warship vaguely...
"Come on, soldiers, hurry up and board the ship!" Zhu Ran ordered, his heart pounding.
The Shu army came so quickly, and the five thousand elite members of his family...
The panicked Jiangbei Wu army hurriedly boarded the ship. In the end, except for important armor weapons, they no longer cared about things like siege equipment.
Even so, they still could not completely evacuate before the arrival of the Shu army.
Warships are coming across the river, and thousands of horses are galloping!
Four generals wearing full sets of fine mysterious armor ran at the front, with the flags of Liu, Guan, Zhang and Zhao behind them.
Such a familiar four-character combination, but it had been several years since I last saw it.
It's just that this time, General Liu has changed from Liu Bei riding Lu to Liu Chan riding Wu Zui.
The second echelon includes generals such as Guan Ping, Liu Feng, Liao Hua, Fan Qiang, Zhang Da, etc., followed closely by the cavalry led by each commander, including Liu Chan's 39 pro-army cavalry.
Even though the cooperation is still rough, compared to Cao Wei's elite cavalry, there is still a gap in the quality of horses and cavalry, but the ones on the opposite side... are Soochow infantry.
Small sharp arrow cavalry formations form a large sharp arrow.
Liu Chan and the other four are sharp arrows.
People are like tigers descending from the mountains, and horses are like dragons entering the sea.
"Second and third uncles, please lead the troops to the north to encircle them. Uncle Zhao and I will charge directly towards the Wu formation!"
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Okay! A bunch of chickens and dogs can't run very fast."
"Don't worry, Adou. If the enemy general is here, your third uncle will definitely take his head!" After Zhang Fei said this, he and Guan Yu led half of the cavalry to detour north, preparing to charge from north to south.
Zhao Yun followed Liu Chan and rushed towards the Soochow army.
The horses of the two men are black and white, but their postures when charging into battle and the way they bend down to avoid arrows are almost identical.
The synchronization rate is at least 80%.
【Unyielding Trigger】
[gentian trigger]
In the eyes of Wu Jun who stayed behind to defend, it seemed as if two legendary Zhao Yuns, who were riding alone in a bloody battle on Changban Slope, were rushing toward him...
But this time, Liu Chan really fought side by side with Zhao Yun, becoming a man who was half a body ahead of Zhao Yun!
"The Crown Prince of Hanzhong, Liu Chan, is here. Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who disobey will die!"
【Trigger of drinking stop】
With a loud shout, Wu Jun in front of the formation felt that his throat was dry, his hands and feet were weak, and he could no longer hold his spear... Some people couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the formation immediately showed flaws!
Liu Chan immediately seized the opportunity and galloped forward.
Wu Zui under his crotch nimbly bypassed the sparse antlers under Wu Jun's grass cloth, and with a long hiss, he crossed the trench that was not very wide.
Before the horse's hoof hit the ground, Liu Chan thrust out a spear. The spear broke through the armor and went straight into the belly of a Wu soldier.
"Under the command of the King of Hanzhong, Zhao Yun of Changshan is here, who dares to come and fight to the death!"
Zhao Yun, with his white horse and silver armor, followed closely behind, with a spear in his hand like a snake coming out of its hole, harvesting the Wu army who had not yet recovered from [Broken Drinking].
"Uncle Zhao, lead the troops south and rush to the dock to intercept the Wu army!"
"Okay!" Although Zhao Yun was worried about Liu Chan's safety, he always regarded himself as a courtier and subconsciously executed it without much thought.
Liu Chan's move was not to show off, but...
[Triggered alone]
[Physique increased to: Extraordinary physique]
[Equestrian talent rises to: rare in the world]
[The talent of long soldiers has been increased to: rare in the world]
Seeing the familiar prompt in the lower right corner as promised, Liu Chan raised a smile.
Uncle Zhao was too close to him, and his influence was exerted!
Thank you to the boss of "Qingxianren 2022" for 100 points, once again investing in the Jihan Armed Group. Your points will be used to reward the Jiangling garrison. Thank you for your support~
