Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning
Chapter 488
The battle between the two sides lasted for two hours, and there was no winner.
Zhou Yu was a little panicked. In the past, Gan Ning was worried about the loss of his big ships, so he seldom confronted them head-on, and always used the big ships to deal with them.
I didn't expect to be so tenacious now, attacking them regardless of losses. Could it be that they have some conspiracy to succeed?
"Report, Commander-in-Chief, in the direction of Spring Valley, we found the enemy's figure!"
"how is this possible?"
Zhou Yu was terrified. Spring Valley is 150 miles away from Zhongjiang. Why would Cao Shuo's troops attack there?
Don't they need to attack Sun Ce's camp in Wanling?
"Report, Zhang Liao leads the army towards Fanchang!"
Zhou Yu wiped off his cold sweat. He saw the opponent's intention, which was to cut off Sun Ce's westward retreat route.
Does their doing so mean that Sun Ce will definitely retreat westward?
Jing County has already fallen, and Cao Shuo's army is on the east bank of Lengshui. If Zhang Liao's army is allowed to occupy the west bank of the Qingge River, then Sun Ce will really be trapped between the three rivers, and he will be unable to escape.
"Zhou Tiao, go and inform the king immediately, let him withdraw from Wanling as soon as possible, lead the army to attack Fanchang, and must not be besieged in Wanling."
"promise!"
"Notify the defenders in Guichi that they must guard the city to the death, and there will be no loss."
Guichi was the only route for Sun Ce to withdraw from Danyang County. Once Guichi was breached, the entire western front would be blocked.
Looking at the battle ahead, Zhou Yu wondered if he should send some soldiers to fetch Chungu.
After fighting Gan Ning for so long, he still has less than [-] soldiers left. If he divides his troops to take the Spring Valley, the whole army may be wiped out.
"Report, Commander, Gan Ning's big ship is suddenly heading towards our Chinese army!"
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, what are they going to do?Hold yourself up here?
"No, their goal is the king!"
Ever since Cao Shuo's solitary army went deep, every move they made was within the opponent's calculations.
Sun Ce's army was led by the nose by the opponent, and led into the net step by step.
Now the entire Danyang County, except for Wanling, may all fall into the hands of Wei Guo.
Zhou Yu called a lieutenant and said, "Immediately inform Xu Kun, the commander of the water army at Pengze Lake, and ask him to lead the army to come here for support."
Now they have to ask for reinforcements, otherwise none of them will be able to get out of Danyang County.
On the east bank of Lengshui, Cao Shuo stood on the bank riding a red rabbit horse, looking helplessly at the city on the opposite bank.
Sun Ce's fleet blocked the cold water, and he couldn't cross the cold water at all. He could only hope that Zhang Liao and Li Zheng could quickly capture the area west of the Qingge River.
Jia Xu suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't we cross the river through Ningguo, where large ships cannot pass, and Sun Ce's navy cannot sail there."
Xi Zhicai said: "General Zhang Liao has not yet completed the siege of Wanling. If we cross the river rashly, if Sun Ce abandons the city and flees, wouldn't it be a failure?"
Cao Shuo asked, "What's going on with Gan Ning? Can you repel Zhou Yu and drive the warship into cold water?"
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "Zhou Yu's navy is very tenacious!"
"Give Gan Ning an order. Even if the entire army is wiped out, Zhou Yu must know that the Yangtze River is no longer dominated by their navy."
"promise!"
"Zou Dan, Qi Zhou, and Xu Ding, the three of you each lead a thousand Tiger Guards to Ningguo, then go around to Jing County, and lie in ambush on the road that Sun Ce must pass to retreat."
"promise!"
"Dian Wei, lead your soldiers to cut down trees, build a ferry, and be ready to cross the river at any time!"
"promise!"
In Wanling City, Sun Ce looked at Cao Shuo's camp on the other side of the river with a sad face.
Cao Shuo didn't send troops to attack, which made him a little confused what to do.
Wanling would definitely not be able to defend it, but if they withdrew directly, the soldiers would definitely think that they were afraid of Cao Shuo.
His own king led the army and fled without fighting, which might shake the morale of the entire Wu army.
Sun Ce looked at Lu Su and asked, "Is there any movement in the Zhangxiu army in Jing County?"
Lu Su said: "After the other party withdrew to Jing County, they never left the city again."
"Report, the governor told the Lord to withdraw from Wanling quickly and concentrate all troops to attack Fanchang."
Sun Ce asked in a daze, "Where is the governor?"
"The governor fought a bloody battle with Gan Ning at the fork of the Zhongjiang River. Our army suffered heavy losses. Generals Zhang Liao and Li Zheng of the Wei State led an army across the Zhongjiang River and captured Chungu. Fanchang is already in danger, and I'm afraid it has already been captured."
Lu Su hurriedly said: "Master, we can't wait any longer, we must leave as soon as possible, Cao Shuo wants to trap us to death in Danyang County."
"Quan Rou, I'll give you five thousand soldiers and horses, and you lead the warships to Zhongjiang to support Zhou Dadu."
"promise!"
Quan Rou led the fleet to leave suddenly, which made Cao Shuo realize that Sun Ce was going to escape.
"Dian Wei, prepare to cross the river immediately!"
When Cao Shuo crossed the cold water, Sun Ce's army had withdrawn, leaving him an empty city.
"The two military divisions are defending the city!"
Together with Dian Wei, Cao Shuo led an army of three thousand Xuanjia troops to chase after Sun Ce in the direction he was retreating from.
"We won, we won!"
Zhou Yu's warship retreated suddenly, to the great surprise of Gan Ning's soldiers, they finally won.
Lu Jun counted the losses. Three of their ironclad warships were lost, and five remained. Nearly 1 buildings were lost, thousands of warships were lost, and nearly [-] soldiers were lost.
However, their gains were considerable. Zhou Yu's [-] navy was almost wiped out. Zhou Yu fled here with only two large boats and dozens of warships.
Sun Ben in Zhongjiang Nei was directly captured alive. Even Quan Rou who came to support later was driven into the Yangtze River by them.
Lu Jun laughed, and said, "From now on, the overlord of the Yangtze River will be our country Wei."
Gan Ning nodded, and ordered the soldiers to go to Spring Valley to rest for a while, and then prepare to go to Jiangbei to take over Li Dian's army.
"Report, a large number of warships from the state of Wu are coming from the west!"
Before Gan Ning's soldiers rested for a long time, Zhou Yu went back and led a large group of warships to kill them.
Gan Ning looked at the number of warships, there were at least 4 to [-] people, and there were actually five large ships in their fleet, which were almost the same as their giant ships.
"Report, General Gan, His Majesty has an order not to allow the navy to retreat!"
Gan Ning narrowed his eyes. Even if Cao Shuo didn't give the order, he didn't intend to retreat. Once the navy retreated, the plan to encircle Sun Ce would come to nothing.
"General Gan, our sailor brothers are here to help us."
Gan Ning fixed his eyes and found that the person who came was actually Tai Shici.
Although Tai Shici is leading warships, this can make up for the gap between the two sides.
Tai Shici came to Gan Ning's fleet and said, "General Gan, let your soldiers rest first, I'll meet the other ship!"
Zhou Yu was a little panicked. In the past, Gan Ning was worried about the loss of his big ships, so he seldom confronted them head-on, and always used the big ships to deal with them.
I didn't expect to be so tenacious now, attacking them regardless of losses. Could it be that they have some conspiracy to succeed?
