1100 returned to Wuxi
In the environment of the valley, of course, Shamoko did not dare to be careless, and carried out strict precautions at night, and after a tense night, he did not see any soldiers and horses coming to steal the camp.
Early the next morning, Shamoko continued his march, as it had been yesterday, and after not going far, he would encounter a barrier of grass and branches. The rear is either a deep pit or a stone wall made of stones, and occasionally encounters a sneak attack by ambushes.
Shamoko was so overwhelmed that he could only break down these barriers one by one, and the biggest problem caused by this was that the march was extremely slow, and he could not travel twenty miles in a day. And waiting for the fire to burn is just the right time for the other party to create another new obstacle.
Shamoke's annoyance can be imagined, the soldiers were disturbed repeatedly, and people became numb, but Shamoke didn't believe it, could he still not get out of this canyon?
Of course, there is not only the terrain of canyons in the world, when Shamoke led the army, and finally pushed the army hundreds of miles with great effort, the line of sight was wide, but a turbulent river dozens of meters wide appeared in front of him.
Judging from the remaining traces, the bridge over the river has been demolished, and on the other side of the river, a team of more than 10,000 people and a stone wall more than ten meters high are standing there.
Shamoke suddenly became excited, he was busy for so many days, and finally saw the Jiangdong army, presumably as long as he rushed across this river, he could face the enemy head-on and break through the Yidao, just around the corner!
Shamoke proudly stepped out and shouted to the other party: "Can the thief Sun Huan be here?" ”
The other party didn't respond at all, just kept a tight guard, this river has become the last barrier, and Sun Huan is here. Facing the mighty Wuxi barbarian army that could not be seen at a glance, Sun Huan's brows were furrowed, and he was very worried. He could only pass the order to go down, and at any cost, he wanted to block the Wuxi army on the other side of the river, and resolutely did not let them cross the river.
Even if Shamoke shouted in his throat, Sun Huan just didn't take advantage of it, Shamoke was furious, and immediately organized soldiers to build a bridge to cross the river and attack the Jiangdong Wu army.
The task of building the bridge was not smooth, the other side was busy with cold arrows for a full day, and the bridge was only built in the middle of the river, and the closer it was to the shore, the casualties were also increasing.
Nearly 1,000 soldiers were shot and fell into the water, and Shamoko calmly stopped his actions for the time being, and once again ordered to camp on the spot, not taking off his armor, and paying close attention to every move on the other side.
When he woke up the next morning, Shamoko was full of confidence that if he built a bridge, he would be able to cross the river today and launch a full-scale attack. But at this moment, a barbarian soldier from the rear hurriedly came to report that Gan Ning had led an army of 20,000 and had entered the valley and rushed to the river from the rear.
No matter how heroic Shamoko is, he also understands that the situation has become serious, and if he persists, he is afraid that he will face the situation of being attacked by the enemy.
Therefore, Shamoke decisively ordered the bridge that had just been halfway to be demolished, and the rear team changed into the front team, and retreated back towards the way it came, preparing to meet Ganning's army head-on. After solving Ganning's troops, it is not too late to force the river and capture Yidao.
When Gan Ning heard that Shamoko had returned, he withdrew his team from the valley, and by the time Shamoke chased him out day and night, Gan Ning's team had already retreated to the plains, and he didn't even see a single figure.
Shamoko was so angry that he was about to go back again, but the farce was repeated, and new obstacles were erected one after another, or ambushes or deep pits, etc., and they had to come again.
The hero could not bear this humiliation, Shamoko tossed for a few days, but achieved nothing, his anger could not be extinguished, his chest burned with rage, a stream of blood arrows spewed out, his eyes were black, and he fainted to death.
However, the blessings are not double, the disasters are not alone, and when Shamoke woke up, another news made it even more difficult for him to be stable, Huang Gai had exhausted the Wuling army and had launched an attack on Wuxi.
Although there was the temptation of Yiling, which was enough for the descendants of the clan to live a prosperous life, Liu Bei's vanguard army never came with news of victory, and it seems that the development of events was not smooth.
Instead of chasing an ethereal wealth, it is better to keep your base and have a place to retire, because sometimes, the nest head is more important than the gold ingot. After thinking about it again and again, Shamoke couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly returned to Wuxi with his troops.
Sun Huan was really relieved to learn that Shamoke had finally retreated, and hurriedly led the army to support the defenders on the west side, and at this time, Cui Yu had fallen for a few days.
Hearing that Cui Yu had fallen, and his body had not been buried until now, Sun Huan was sad and sad, and wept gloomily, the war had reached such a field, and all the lieutenants around him had been killed, and he had become a veritable commander of the light pole.
When Sun Huan hurried to the west side of the fortifications, an incredible thing happened, Wu Ban's army had withdrawn, and only Zhang Nan led more than 20,000 horses and continued to garrison the west side.
At the same time, news also came from Zhu Ran's side that Zhang Bao and Guan Xing's army had also retreated, and at the same time took all the warships with them.
The crisis of Yidao seemed to be resolved in this way, Sun Huan felt very surprised, ecstatic, and when he calmed down, he continued to order the army to strengthen the city defense, and he must not take it lightly, and at the same time promoted the meritorious young general Chen Ping to his young lieutenant general.
Wu Ban, Zhang Bao and others withdrew their troops, and of course Liu Bei gave the order and began to organize a strategic shift.
Liu Bei was not on a whim, he received a secret letter sent by Ma Liang, in which Ma Liang said earnestly that the road was difficult and difficult to attack, and the naval army had no advantage, even if General Guan was reborn, it was difficult to be sure of victory, this is one of them; In addition, Wuxi is under the enemy's back, and it is difficult to choose between the left and right sides of Shamoke's balance, and he will not abandon Wuxi and support our army with all his might. At this moment, Shengshang Dangsi marched into Dangyang, and then went all out to seize Nanjun, with Jingzhou as a stronghold, Jiangdong could be broken in the near future.
Ma Liang also stressed in the letter that our army has the advantage of strength and is better at land warfare, and it is the best policy to attack the opponent's shortcomings with its own strengths. In order to be able to take all parts of Jingzhou, there should also be a detailed map of Jingzhou.
Liu Bei finally chose to believe in Ma Liang's Jianyì and gathered the army together, totaling 200,000, with Wu Ban as the vanguard, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing as the deputy vanguard, and advanced all the way to Dangyang.
In the meeting hall of Hanzhang Building, Wang Baoyu was chatting with Taiwei Mo Qianxun, Mo Qianxun frowned, and said: "As expected, Liu Bei couldn't attack Yidao, and then returned to the army to attack Dangyang." ”
"Does this affect us?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"Dangyang City, if the Shu army attacks with all its might, it will definitely be difficult to defend. Once the city is broken, Liu Bei will continue to move eastward, intending to Nanjun, so that the big war will come to the border of Yiling. Mo Qianxun said.
Alas, in the end, it was still here that it was supposed to come, Wang Baoyu sighed slightly, and said, "Chihiro, in your opinion, what preparations should we make?" ”
