Chapter 227
"Hahaha, military advisor, you are really powerful, our loss of taking this Lujiang is completely negligible!
My old Zhang is convinced of you!"
In Lujiang City, Zhang Fei was excited.
My eldest brother is finally about to take off! This military advisor is so powerful that he actually deceived that Yu Ban out of the city?
The defenders in Yangzhou have been reduced by half at once, and I am afraid that if the eldest brother is working hard, the whole Yangzhou will be able to take it over for him.
"Third general, now that the war has just begun, everything is still too early, and everything should not be careless. Zhang
Fei was very excited, Liu Bei was very excited, and even Guan Yu was also very excited.
You know, this is a city that has taken away
the Xiang nationality! For the brother who has always been abused by the Xiang nationality, how can this be unhappy.
It's just that, unlike Liu Bei's excitement and the biggest contributor to the victory, Xu Shu didn't have the slightest smile.
You must know that at the beginning, the plan designated by Xu Shu was to directly wipe out the forbidden department.
I never thought that the combat power of the Chu army would surpass that of Liu Bei's soldiers.
After fighting an ambush against Yu Ban, only half of his soldiers and horses were left.
As for the armor in Lujiang City, Xu Shu was even more frightened.
Without the command of Yu Ban, there was no panic in the slightest, but an organized breakthrough was carried out.
As a result, in the end, Xu Shu's prediction of the total annihilation of the forbidden department was only half completed.
For this result, Liu Bei's brother couldn't be satisfied.
But Xu Shu was not satisfied.
Yu Ban's Yangzhou garrison is still there, so naturally you can retreat to Shouchun.
You must know that Shouchun is not as good as Lujiang.
It was the royal capital of Yuan Shu, and both the height of the city wall and the width of the moat were a major challenge for Liu Bei's army.
In the event of a strong attack, the losses may be much greater than expected.
Moreover, Xu Shu was not sure how the Chu side would react to the battle situation in Yangzhou.
If only one reinforcement is sent, it will be easy to say, but if the main force of Chu is killed, I am afraid that it will be a big trouble.
After the battle to capture Lujiang, Xu Shu no longer had the confidence he had before.
Although I have excellent schemes, you are not good at fighting as the one who executes them.
Regarding the low combat effectiveness of Liu Bei's armor, Xu Shu was also speechless.
It's no wonder that he can be driven all the way from the north to the south by other people's records, and with this combat effectiveness, he will also fight the bandits and rogues.
As for the 100,000 troops borrowed from Liu Biao, hehe, they are just empty numbers, and their combat effectiveness is better than that of the militia.
"Strategist, what will our army do next? Will we directly attack Shouchun?" After
resting for more than half a month, Liu Bei thought that he could now attack Shouchun.
As long as Shouchun can be taken, then the land of Yangzhou in Jiangbei can be taken into his hands, how can Liu Bei not be anxious.
"My lord, no, it is the safest plan for our army to stay in Lujiang now. Hearing
that Liu Bei was going to attack Shouchun, Xu Shu was suddenly anxious.
But Xu Shu's suddenness, it was not only him who was anxious.
"Why? Military Division? Now that the forbidden army has been newly defeated, and it is at a time when morale is low.
Our army has been cultivating for more than half a month, and the strength of the army has been slightly expanded, and now is a good time to take that Shouchun?"
Forcibly recruiting some nearby peasants can be regarded as an expansion of troops? With your soldiers and horses, this is how you have always come?
But there is no way, who makes the family the master, and who makes himself look at him.
"Lord, now that our army occupies this land of the Lujiang River, it can be described as the gateway to Yangzhou.
Here, enter, can attack Shouchun. Retire and return to Yuzhou.
And as long as our army occupies this place, it can echo with General Huang Zu's Jiangxia army at any time, which can be described as the key point of the Chu army.
Speaking of this, Xu Shu paused slightly, and when he saw that Liu Bei still had a confused look, he could only continue helplessly.
This lord, IQ is a little in arrears.
"Lord, you think, we have occupied Lujiang for nearly half a month.
That Pengcheng is so close to Yangzhou, Xiang Ji will not be able to receive information? Will there be no response?
Now that our army occupies the choke point of Yangzhou, the Chu army will inevitably come to fight for it.
As long as we stay here firmly, we can only fight with the Chu army after the reinforcements arrive.
If it is only a partial division, then it means that the battle in the north of Chu is fierce, and there is no way to spare too many hands and feet to deal with us and others.
If this is the case, our army can naturally march eastward and seize Yangzhou in one fell swoop.
But if the Chu army is the main force..."
Speaking of this, there is basically no need to continue.
Looking at Liu Bei's knowing look, Xu Shu could only sigh helplessly.
There's one more thing I didn't tell you.
And at
this time, Qi, who had been fighting in Qingzhou for more than ten days, was about to decide the victory and defeat.
"General, I can't stand it, let's withdraw. "
In the end, the number of the Hebei army is also twice that of the Chu army.
After fighting with the Hebei army for more than ten days, only more than 20,000 people remained of the 50,000 Chu army.
"Xuangao, you lead the troops to retreat to Chengyang first, and I will stay here to break the rear. "
For what Zang Ba said, how can Tai Shici not know?
Although the Hebei army also left more than 30,000 corpses under the brave fight of the Chu army, after all, the base of people is large.
Now, we can only retreat to Chengyang first.
You must know that this Chengyang was used for strategic depth at the beginning.
It's just that after a year of stalemate, Anqiu has not been lost, so Chengyang has also become a part of the Chu State.
But in today's situation, Chengyang County can only be sacrificed.
"No, I'd better stay behind! You're the commander of the army. After
Tai Shici wanted to break off, Zang Ba obviously disagreed.
Although you are more powerful than me, after all, you Tai Shi Ci is the commander of the army.
I Zang Ba can have an accident, but you Tai Shi Ci can't have an accident.
Just when the two were arguing, Tai Shici's deputy behind him suddenly slapped his horse forward.
At the same time, the mouth kept shouting.
"I am Chen Feng, the deputy general under General Tai Shici, after being ordered to break off, can there be brothers who dare to go with a certain family to meet that Hebei barbarian for a while!" With Chen
Feng's shout, nearly a thousand Chu troops gathered beside him.
And almost all of these Chu troops were wounded.
Yes, everyone knows that Anqiu can't hold it anymore.
If you don't retreat at this time, I'm afraid you won't have a chance.
And these injuries and illnesses are all left on their own volition.
Because they knew that being wounded would only slow down the retreat of the army.
"General, Chen Feng said goodbye to you.
I can follow the general in this life, Chen Feng and I am worth it!"
Ignoring Tai Shici's reaction, Chen Feng led a thousand people under his command to rush towards the Anqiu Mountain pass.
Here, it is the last line of defense for the retreat of the army.
Looking at Chen Feng and his subordinates who were gradually moving away, Tai Shi Cihu had tears in his eyes.
"All the army, retreat!".
