1082 Retreat as advance

"What kind of gentleman is a dark arrow that hurts people!" Sun Huan shouted loudly, but he didn't dare to be careless, and ordered to drive the warship where he was, and rushed straight to Wu Ban's warship.

Immediately, a row of feather arrows shot over, Sun Huan waved a big knife, swept them all down, roared and ordered, the third team closed head and tail, forming an encirclement, and the battle was quickly resolved!

Sure enough, seeing this scene, Wu Ban showed a panicked face, suddenly turned the bow of the ship, and ordered a rapid withdrawal.

Jiangdong's warships immediately swarmed up, and Wu Ban prepared a large number of bows and arrows, relying on the overwhelming number of arrows to isolate the armies of both sides.

The battle lasted about a day, Wu Ban withdrew to the north shore, lost more than 100 warships and nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, Sun Huan suffered few casualties, and the battle was a complete victory.

"General, if you take advantage of the victory to pursue, you can take the south bank in one fell swoop." Tan Xiong came to build a chong chong again.

"Haha, don't compete with it on land, and watch the changes before making plans." Sun Huan still didn't listen to Tan Xiong's advice.

"General, it's a rare opportunity!" Tan Xiong plucked up his courage and said, "I am willing to be the vanguard and repel Wu Ban!" ”

Sun Huan was on the rise, but he was not angry at Tan Xiong's insistence, and said in a harmonious voice: "General Tan's courage is commendable, but be careful that the other party is cheating, and you still need to hold your troops and fight again in the future!" ”

The two armies retreated to their respective territories, and Sun Huan set up a banquet to celebrate the victory in the first battle, while Tan Xiong kept a close eye on the movements on the river, lest Wu Ban's ships attack at night.

Early the next morning, Sun Huan heard the news that the troops and warships of the Shu army were moving upstream in unison, looking very much like returning to the White Emperor City.

"General, the timing is good, why don't you take the opportunity to cross the river and take down Zigui?" Tan Xiong came to speak again.

Sun Huan didn't get tired of it, and said with a cold face: "As a general, you should be familiar with the art of war, maybe it is a plan for the enemy army to capture and indulge." We have a water advantage, so why not be afraid of the other party's attack? On the contrary, it is a rash attack, and the depth is unknown! ”

After another two days, the warships and battalions on the other side disappeared completely, Tan Xiong was so anxious that he rubbed his hands, what a good opportunity! However, his repeated suggestions were not accepted by Sun Huan, and he knew that if he went again, he would definitely be driven back, so he still kept his mouth shut.

Sun Huan was still reluctant to enter the army, in the end he missed the opportunity to seize Zigui, he arbitrarily believed that this was because Wu Ban was too scared to fight, and had withdrawn back to the White Emperor City.

In the final analysis, neither Wu Ban nor Sun Huan are first-class generals, and they have no real strategists, and they lack keen judgment when they are in battle.

Even Zhuge Jin, a figure who doesn't seem to have much strategy, is much stronger than them, hearing that Wu Ban's army is retreating westward, Zhuge Jin immediately notified Han Dang in Dangyang to send troops to return and take the city.

Lu Xun, the governor of Jiangxia, received a message from Kuaima, and Wu Ban's army retreated westward, and immediately shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly sent Zhu Ran to lead an army of 20,000 people along the river and quickly came to support Sun Huan.

After Wu Ban's army withdrew dozens of miles to the west, he immediately began to cross the river south by boat, and in two days, the 100,000-strong army finally moved to the south bank. This series of huge and cumbersome actions made Wu Ban's nerves tense all the time, and he didn't dare to relax a little, but it was gratifying that there were no accidents during the period, and it could not but be said that it was God's help.

Sun Huan is still like a person who has nothing to do, after so long, he is still immersed in the joy of victory, and the more he tastes it, the more he feels that he is a talent.

It wasn't until Tanma reported that Wu Ban's 100,000 troops had arrived from the west that Sun Huan woke up like a dream and realized that he had been deceived.

At this time, it was too late to move troops to the north bank, and there was no big city where Sun Huan was stationed, so he could only gather a large army, line up in formation, and prepare to meet Wu Ban's army head-on.

"Report! The Metropolitan Governor Lu Xun sent a letter. A guard entered the tent.

"Bring it on!" Sun Huan replied in annoyance, he always had no good impression of Lu Xun, a white-faced scholar, didn't he just set up a plan to seize Jingzhou, and this credit became the governor of the capital, not only did he disagree, many people were angry, and he could only say that his brother Sun Quan's judgment was very problematic.

Lu Xun reminded Sun Huan in the letter that Yidao is a strategic place, so don't confront Wu Ban head-on, keep the warship, and just retreat to Yidao to hold on.

"If you withdraw from the army like this, won't it make Wu Ban laugh, Lu Xun really looks down on me!" Sun Huan threw the letter aside, changed his mind, and insisted on a big battle with Wu Ban on land.

An hour later, Wu Ban led an army of 100,000 and killed him from the west, seeing that Sun Huan had already prepared, Wu Ban ordered the army to stop, and the two armies presented a scene of confrontation.

"Who dares to challenge General Wu?" Wu Ban looked around and asked in a loud voice.

"The last will go!" Zhang Bao responded, raised his spear, and rushed to the front of the two armies.

Zhang Bao is also an anxious person, Wu Ban has not agreed, for fear that Zhang Fei's descendants will make a mistake, and hurriedly whispered to the deputy general, if there is an accident, he must rescue one or two.

Sun Huan couldn't get angry when he saw this stunned boy, if he hadn't screamed and distracted himself last time, how could he be shot on the helmet and embarrassed? So he asked in a loud voice: "Who is coming?" ”

"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, your grandfather Zhang Bao is also!" Zhang Bao's voice is like thunder, and the momentum is extraordinary.

Zhang Bao? Sun Huan finally remembered that it should be Zhang Fei's son, so if he said this, the father and son really looked a little alike. But Sun Huan saw that Zhang Bao was still young, so he didn't take him seriously at all, and sneered: "Your father is newly dead, and he is here to beg for death, and he is in a hurry to accompany the funeral, but he is also filial!" ”

"Sun Huan Xiaoer, death is on the verge of death, why nonsense!" Zhang Bao was so angry that his eyes widened, and he rushed towards Sun Huan without fear.

Sun Huan waved behind him, and the general Xie Jing stepped forward and faced Zhang Bao, and the big knife swept away, directly taking Zhang Bao's waist, Zhang Bao shook the snake spear, easily blocked Xie Jing's big knife, and then a black light, with a thunderous momentum, stabbed Xie Jing's chest.

Xie Jing lay back on his back, the big knife in his hand didn't stop for a moment, from bottom to top, towards Zhang Bao's left arm, the snake spear in Zhang Bao's hand flipped over, and swung Xie Jing's big knife again, with a loud roar, the whole person jumped up from the horse, split Huashan with a force, and smashed Xie Jing's head.

"General Zhang Bao has the prestige of General Yide!" Wu Ban was very engaged and sincerely appreciated, and his previous worries were gone.

Xie Jing hurriedly turned his horse to dodge, reached out the big knife, and blocked Zhang Bao's snake spear, and Zhang Bao roared again, and his arms suddenly exerted force, not only completely suppressing Xie Jing's big knife, but also following the handle of the knife, swept towards Xie Jing again, rubbing out a piece of spark.

Xie Jing only felt that his arms were sore, and he could barely hold the big knife, so in desperation, he could only let go, let the big knife fall to the ground, galloped wildly, and retreated into the camp.
