"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The sudden attack by the Wei army caught the sleeping Wu army off guard, and the consecutive days of siege made them relax their vigilance. Looking at the fire all over the mountains and fields and hearing the killing sounds that echoed across the sky, Wu Jun had no idea how many people from Wei Jun had arrived.
What's more, before most of them had put on their armor, Xun Yu had already led his sergeants to fight in front of them. The suddenness of the attack caused the Wu army camp to fall into chaos.
"What's so noisy?" Sun Quan, who was sleeping, had been awakened by the noise outside. He opened the quilt and sat up.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The reinforcements of the Wei thieves suddenly came from the flank of our army. The front camp is in chaos." A personal guard rushed into the camp to report urgently.
"What?" Sun Quan was surprised and asked, "How many people are there in the enemy army?"
The guard said, "I don't know, I don't know."
"Your Majesty, according to the report from the front camp, the incoming enemy is no less than a few thousand people." At this time, the guard commander Zhou Tai entered the tent and said.
"Please change your clothes quickly and retreat temporarily to avoid the sharp attack. The Wei thieves have General Zhu and General Pan to resist them." Seeing Sun Quan still sitting on the couch, Zhou Tai shouted anxiously. Only then did Sun Quan react and quickly put on his clothes and armor with the help of his bodyguards.
"Youping, I can't retreat. You must summon the central army immediately. I will go to meet the enemy in person." After putting on his armor, Sun Quan's heart calmed down. Although he was not good at military affairs, he knew at this moment that his commander would definitely We can't leave like this, otherwise the whole army may be defeated.
Although Zhou Tai felt slightly inappropriate, he would never disobey Sun Quan's orders. Just as he turned around and went out to organize his troops, another bodyguard ran in and reported: "Report, Your Majesty, the Wei army in Shiyang City has also been killed." When he came out, General Pan Zhang couldn’t resist anymore.”
"What? Wenpin came out too?"
Wenpin came out of the city to kill, which made Sun Quan, who was calm at first, panic again. It must be Wenpin's long-premeditated strategy to attack the Wei army reinforcements and the defenders at the same time, otherwise the thousands of reinforcements would not have been able to hide it from the scouts so quietly. Eyes and ears, now that we are unable to withstand the surprise attack, we have to decide whether to fight or retreat.
"Your Majesty, the front camp army has been defeated. General Pan is leading the gathered sergeants to resist vigorously. Our army is powerless tonight. Please evacuate as soon as possible and wait until dawn tomorrow to make further calculations." Just when Sun Quan was at a loss what to do, a Zhu Ran, with a bloody face, broke into the tent and said.
Hearing that Zhu Ran, the number one general under his command, said to retreat, Sun Quan immediately made up his mind, sighed, and said feebly: "Instruct Wen Gui to lead the army to retreat, and the other battalion sergeants to quickly retreat to the ship to avoid the enemy's attack."
"No." After receiving the order, Zhu Ran quickly went out and ordered the retreat.
Under the surprise attack of the Wei army, the Wu army was now in disarray and panicked. The soldiers did not know the generals and the generals did not know the soldiers. Only a few battalions could barely maintain their organization.
After some escaping, Sun Quan finally retreated to the bank of the Han River under the escort of Zhou Tai and Zhu Ran. There were hundreds of large and small warships parked on the water. It was the Soochow navy that was unparalleled in the world.
After boarding the handsome ship, everyone had time to take a breath. Sun Quan looked at the soldiers who were in a mess on the shore, turned to Zhou Tai and said: "Youping, the soldiers were shocked and crowded on the shore. It’s so messy that I can’t get on the boat for half a day, so go to the shore and sort it out.”
"Yes." Zhou Tai clasped his fists and said, "It's just Supreme. Are you here?"
Sun Quan waved his hand: "Once you get on the boat, it will be my world in Soochow. It's okay to be alone here. Just go ahead."
"No." Zhou Tai thought that this was the truth, so he said nothing.
"Yi Feng, I have to go ashore again and go back to help the other soldiers board the ship to evacuate. There are less than ten thousand soldiers evacuated to the shore!" Sun Quan sighed.
This time the Wu army attacked Jiangxia with a total of 50,000 people. If the losses in tonight's battle were too heavy, Sun Quan and the entire Soochow would not be able to accept it no matter what. Zhu Ran naturally understood this truth. After receiving the order, he quickly took his sergeants ashore and rushed to the foot of Shiyang City.
Although the Wei army only had a few thousand troops, they attacked in two groups in the dark night. The Wu soldiers did not know the number of enemy troops, so they lost their courage at first. Later, they heard that their lord Sun Quan had already withdrawn, and they lost the will to fight. They fled to the river bank. .
When Zhu Ran finally gathered the troops one after another, he suddenly heard that General Pan Zhang was trapped in front, and immediately led more than a thousand soldiers and horses gathered to rescue him.
But it was said that Pan Zhang was the general of the former camp. When the Wei army attacked, he was sleeping soundly in the camp. When he rushed out of the tent with his helmet and armor on to gather his troops, the former camp had been breached by the Wei army.
He had no other choice but to gather hundreds of people around him to defend the enemy. However, he was so weak that he could not resist the powerful Wei army.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Pan Zhang had no choice but to fight and retreat, preparing to retreat to the back village and join the brigade to reorganize his troops and fight again.
Unexpectedly, Wenpin's bite was so tight that he seemed to have seen that Pan Zhang, who was leading hundreds of people, was a big shot, so he personally led a large group to surround and kill him. In this battle, Pan Zhang could not retreat, so he had to resist and fight with Wenpin.
"Commanders, follow me to rescue General Pan." Zhu Ran heard that Pan Zhang was in danger, raised his spear and shouted.
At this time, the sergeants who followed him to kill the enemy were all Zhu Ran's personal soldiers. Seeing that their master was risking their own lives, all the sergeants' fighting spirit soared and they were willing to die, and they shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!"
"Thief general, take a certain sword." During the melee, Zhong Wenpin saw Pan Zhang killing several people in a row, and he patted his horse and went straight forward with the sword.
Pan Zhang had just killed a Wei soldier off his horse when he suddenly heard a whirring sound behind him and secretly screamed something bad. He quickly bent down and lowered his head, narrowly avoiding Wenpin's fatal blow.
He knew in his heart that a powerful enemy was approaching. After avoiding the killing move, he drove his horse forward and ran forward for a few steps before he had time to look back.
Unexpectedly, Wenpin was unlucky. When he saw that the sword missed and was followed by another strike, Pan Zhang raised the long sword in his hand to hold it against Wenpin. He took advantage of the situation and struck back with the sword, causing Wenpin to draw his sword back.
The two men were equally skilled in martial arts, and both were proficient in swordsmanship. They fought more than thirty moves in a row, and there was no difference between the winner and the loser. However, Pan Zhang was trapped in a tight siege, and the soldiers around him continued to die in battle. Time was finally on Wenpin's side.
Wenpin also knew this and saw that he could not win quickly, so he took up defense and concentrated on fighting, first keeping himself undefeated and then taking advantage of the opportunity to attack. Pan Zhang became more and more anxious as he fought, and there were inevitably more and more loopholes in his moves. Wenpin almost seized the opportunity and went straight to the middle. Fortunately, he was experienced and was not defeated immediately.
But in the long run, it will only be a matter of time before Pan Zhang loses. Just when Pan Zhang was weak and struggling to resist, Zhu Ran finally came, with a flash of cold light, which just happened to relieve Pan Zhang's decline.
"Yifeng!" Seeing Zhu Ran's arrival, Pan Zhang couldn't help but be happy.
Zhu Ran forced Wenpin back with a spear and asked, "Who is this?" During the fight, Pan Zhang knew Wenpin's identity and replied, "It's Wenpin."
"It turns out it's this thief." Zhu Ran was slightly startled and said, "Wen Gui, you and I will work together to kill this guy." After saying that, he drew his gun and went straight to Wenpin's middle door. Pan Zhang didn't hesitate when he saw this and swung his knife. catch up.
Being besieged by two generals of the Wu army, Rao Wenpin, who was outstanding in martial arts, could not resist at this moment, so he had to dance the long sword in his hand into a pear blossom to guard the door. Seeing that Wen Pin was in danger, the guards nearby gathered around and killed Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang together.
Zhu Ran saw that the Wei soldiers were outnumbered, so he fired his gun and forced the enemy back. He said loudly: "Wen Gui, we can't be reluctant to fight. We retreat." Then he led Pan Zhang and others back to the river.
Seeing this, Wenpin did not dare to pursue them further, so he had no choice but to let Zhu Ran and the others go. However, the results of tonight's battle were already extremely rich, so there was no need to covet them. He called his superiors to fight to the north, preparing to join Xun Yu.
