Chapter 753: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone
Wu Zhou strictly implemented Xiahou Yuan's orders, no matter how fierce the battle on the battlefield in front of him was, his side just stood still. Until a scout came to report that there was a Wu in front of him who would be seriously injured, and the Wu army was thrown into a full-scale counterattack. Wu Zhou's heart was beating wildly, and the opportunity came. So he gave the order and the whole army was dispatched.
Two thousand people, in boats, cautiously approached the Wu convoy. Dong Xi is indeed not dead, but his injuries are very serious, and he has lost too much blood. He had fallen into a deep coma, and after being rescued back on the ship, even the military doctor could not wake him up even if he cut through his flesh and took out the arrow for him. Chen Wu asked the military doctor, and the military doctor shook his head, all the medicines that should be used have been used, and the wounds that should be bandaged have been bandaged. The arrowhead has been removed, the wound has been stitched up, and the decoction to warm and replenish qi and blood has been prepared. Whether or not you can wake up can only depend on the will of God.
Before the battle, Chen Wu was furious, so he had to vent all of it on Cao Jun, which was a gang of thieves. Chen Wu's eyes were red, since they were bent on looking for death, it was better to leave them all. Chen Wu sent orders left and right, so that the stone generators and arrows on the ship did not stop, and continued to maintain the saturation blow to Cao Jun. He wanted to see how long Cao Jun could hold out.
Chen Wu's mind was all devoted to the big battle ahead, but he didn't know that the danger in the rear had quietly come. Two thousand Cao troops, carrying countless ships watered with oil, charcoal, and sulfur, followed the river and approached the fleet of Wu's army.
Wu Zhou looked at the distance, and with the help of the firelight of the battlefield ahead, he saw the fleet of the Wu army, and a shadow was entrenched on the river. Wu Zhou felt that he couldn't get any closer, and if he got closer, he might be discovered by Wu Jun. So Wu Zhou stopped, and only countless ships used to set fires, escorted by a few soldiers, took advantage of the north wind to rush towards the Wu fleet.
Wu Jun's mind was all about how to deal with the enemy on the land in front of him at this time, but the sudden arrival of the enemy on the river at this time caught them a little off guard. Cao's ship slammed into Wu's ship, and then Cao's soldiers threw their torches, and the fire was raging.
When the sound of the impact reached Wu Jun's ship, because most of the things on the ship were igniting things, and the weight was not heavy, Wu Jun didn't take it seriously, and when he went to check it routinely, he suddenly saw the fire rising into the sky outside the ship.
Chen Wumeng turned his head and looked at the fire raging everywhere with the help of the north wind, and his chest suddenly felt cold, and he was deceived. Sun Quan ran over in embarrassment at this time: "Zilie, how is Cao Jun's plan to attack with fire?" ”
Chen Wu leaned his sword on the ground, slowly closed his eyes, and sighed, "Withdraw." ”
I can't win this battle. Cao's army was clearly prepared, first using a large army to entangle the attention of his own army with flesh and blood, and then causing people to go by water and set fire to the ship. So far, where do you have any chance of winning? It's just that there is one thing that Chen Wu has never figured out. Cao Jun is on the shore, and the casualties should be much higher than on his side. Because he has done enough defense on his side, Cao Jun can be described as miserable. Even if they are defeated in this battle, the casualty statistics of the two armies should be that both sides are defeated, and Cao's army may not necessarily take advantage of it. What is the reason for Cao Jun to attack himself at all costs?
Stop yourself from reinforcing Natsuguchi? The goal was achieved, but Cao's losses were also very serious. The balance of power on both sides has not changed.
A sudden fire completely changed the tide of the war. The flames that rose into the sky made Wu Jun stunned, but at the same time, it made Cao Jun shout like chicken blood. The sound of gold was loud, and Wu Jun suddenly retreated like a tide. If you don't retreat, you won't be able to run.
Cao Jun has fought desperately until now, waiting for this moment, where is he willing to miss it, so he carried a knife and gun, and shouted wah-wah, shouting one by one: "Capture Sun Ce alive!" ”
When the sound of earth-shaking reached the ship, Chen Wucai suddenly realized what Cao Jun's desperate attack was for. It turned out that they thought that the lord was on board. This is really a good calculation.
Sun Quan was beside him, and he also understood. He really can't tell what it's like in his heart, is this a mistake in the sub-car?
Chen Wu's decision has been made, and it is also very decisive. The ships that had been set on fire on the periphery were all abandoned by him. He ordered his soldiers to untie the boats and push them into the river, leaving them to fend for themselves. The ships close to the river bank prepared a lot of fire prevention materials, and then began to engage the Cao army that was pouring in like a tide on the river bank.
When Wu Zhou saw the fire rising into the sky, he knew that he had succeeded. So he looked back and said, "Would you like to follow me through the enemy camp?" ”
The two thousand soldiers said in unison: "I am willing to fight to the death with the general and capture Sun Ce alive!" "This battle will be won! Thinking of the scene of capturing the lord of Jiangdong alive, the hearts of the soldiers were extremely hot.
So, the sound of drums suddenly rose, and a water division, under the leadership of Wu Zhou, went straight to Wu Ying.
The enemy army here was in hot pursuit, and the enemy appeared on the other side, and Chen Wu couldn't help but feel anxious for a while. Isn't it heaven that I care? His eyes turned again, and he saw Sun Quan next to him looking at him with a look of hope. I thought in my heart, even if I die, I can't let Zhongmou fall here.
Chen Wu rose up and braved the arrows and stones, fighting bloodily, injecting new courage into the Wu army, which was already desperate in his heart. In the end, under the desperate struggle of a group of soldiers, Chen Wu finally broke out of the siege and led the remnants to retreat along the river. Cao Jun fought a bloody battle all night, and he was extremely tired, and when he saw Wu Jun retreating, he didn't dare to chase him. So they set up camp on the spot and began to clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, both sides were wounded, and from the dense layers of corpses on the battlefield, we knew that the Wu army was defeated, and the Cao army was not able to please it.
Xiahou Yuan thought about capturing Sun Ce alive, and in the final pursuit, he captured the prisoners and learned that there was no Sun Ce in the ship at all. This is also one of the reasons why Chen Wu was able to escape alive in the end. After fighting for a long time, I suffered heavy losses, but I suddenly heard someone say that the target was not there at all. The disappointment and anger in Xiahou Yuan's heart can be imagined. It was this news that Cao Jun was also affected. Sun Ce was not there, and the heat in his heart was half gone. The windfall that I imagined as a big official before is all gone. This combat effectiveness suddenly dropped by more than a little bit.
Chen Wu led the remnants to flee to Xunyang, and then stopped. At this time, there was already a mourning in the barracks. Chen Wu came back from patrolling, his face was iron-blue. There were still countless wounded soldiers in the battalion, and the army was defeated and lost, and it was a time when there was a shortage of medical treatment, and if we did not step up treatment, a large number of these soldiers who fled would have to die.
Just sat down and didn't have time to take a breath, another lieutenant hurriedly came to report, Dong Xi finally couldn't get through, and in the turmoil, the wound burst and bled to death.
Chen Wu listened to the news and stood still for a long time, then he picked up the tea bowl on the case next to him and smashed it on the ground, damn it!
