Chapter 0933 The Nightmare That Can't Be Eliminated(2/2)
After the Battle of Shiting, Wei suffered heavy losses.
So in the past few years, the Wu army has always taken the initiative to move north, while the Wei state has been on the defensive.
In addition, Sun Quan once again sent out all his troops this time, so he expected that the Wei army would just stay in the city and not dare to leave the city like it did several times before.
The reason is simple: insufficient troops.
Otherwise, how could the Wei State move the city of Hefei to the rear?
Without the interference of the Wei army, the bridge was quickly paved. Sun Quan gave the order and the Wu army began to cross the river.
Man Chong stood at the top of the city. When he saw the canopy under the city begin to move, he smiled coldly.
It is a fact that the troops on the Yangzhou front line are insufficient.
In addition to losing too many troops in the battle of Shiting, the Shu bandits in the west also put too much pressure on the Wei Dynasty.
After all, there are too many places to defend in Guanzhong.
Unlike Yangzhou, as long as Hefei is defended, the Wu people cannot advance even an inch.
So the troops deployed will naturally be smaller.
But this does not mean that he can only defend the city.
“Drumming!”
“Dong dong dong…”
Sun Quan, who was crossing the river, suddenly heard the sound of drums in the city, and immediately raised his head in surprise.
However, on both sides of Hefei City, a team of elite cavalry emerged from each side, and they rushed directly towards the Wu army that had just crossed to the other side and had not yet formed a formation.
“Strikes halfway across?!”
Sun Quan looked at the clouds of dust and smoke rising in front of him, and then heard the pounding of horse hooves like a rain, and a chill subconsciously rose in his heart.
The nightmare in my heart came to mind again.
He was so panicked that he almost let his mount fall into the water.
The negative impact of the emperor's personal expedition became apparent at this time.
The canopy was too conspicuous, it only shook a few times, and the guards dutifully shouted:
“Protect Your Majesty!”
Even the generals who had experienced the Battle of Xiaoyaojin suddenly felt their hearts in their throats!
At that time, Zhang Liao was in the midst of a large army and fought straight to the commander's banner. He forced His Majesty to a mountain tomb and held a long halberd in self-defense.
Who is not afraid of this kind of thing?
At this moment, drumming noises also sounded from the north side, and smoke was also faintly rising.
“Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw! Pull back!”
Sun Quan was shocked and quickly ordered.
There are ambushes in front, and there are ambushes on this side of the moat, and on the flanks. The Wei thieves want to attack while they are crossing the river!
With this thought, he did not dare to hesitate anymore, turned his horse's head directly, and ran towards the east bank again.
“Quick, beware of the north!”
Back to the east bank, Sun Quan was in shock and quickly gave another order.
As for the Wu army on the west bank, he didn't bother to take charge of it for the moment.
Fortunately, it was impossible for Sun Quan to manage an army of tens of thousands. The generals were really in charge.
The emperor's canopy ran back to the east bank, but the general of the Wu army who had already crossed the river was not in a hurry.
Although it was not expected that the Wei thieves would dare to take the initiative to attack, they were caught off guard by the ambush. In addition, His Majesty ordered to retreat to the east bank, which made Wu's soldiers run back like a swarm.
Hand in, I am using a reading app recently. It has many book sources, complete books, and is updated quickly!
But again, the Wei army did not have enough troops, and the ambush was only a few thousand people.
After hundreds of Wu soldiers died, the Wu army had reluctantly organized a formation.
The Wei army retreated as soon as it was ready, and retreated like a gust of wind.
On the contrary, when the Wu army retreated, many soldiers fell into the river because they were too panicked.
The water in the river was cold, and in addition to the thick clothing in winter, some soldiers were wearing armor. They were not rescued in time, and more people died of freezing than drowning.
After the ambush on the other side of the moat retreated, the noise from the north also died down.
Although he knew that there were probably suspicious soldiers in the north, Emperor Sun was still in shock.
The nightmare that happened more than ten years ago could make him wander around Chaohu Lake for more than twenty days. This sudden attack by Man Chong naturally made Sun Dadi more cautious.
He first ordered a careful reconnaissance of the surrounding area until he was sure that there was no danger at all, and then he continued to build the bridge.
Moreover, the bridge must be erected so that it is not only smooth for horses and horses, but also drivable.
But before he could attack the city, news came again that Wei's reinforcements had arrived from Shouchun.
Sun Quan looked at the fortified city in front of him, and then at the thirty miles of land route behind him. There was no waterway directly to the river, which made him feel a little guilty.
"Your Majesty, the city of Hefei is imminent and the enemy's reinforcements are arriving again. It is very likely that they will cut off our army's retreat. For the sake of your Majesty's safety, I sincerely request your Majesty to retreat."
When Sun Quan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed at the same time:
“Now I finally know why the Wei thieves moved to Hefei City!”
In the past, as long as you passed through Chao Lake by boat, you could advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
Now we want to attack Hefei, but we can't go ashore for dozens of miles. The Shouchun bandits can come from the north and threaten the flank and retreat.
“Wei thieves are really cunning!”
After scolding him bitterly in Hefei Xincheng, Emperor Sun led his army back to Chao Lake in a hurry.
However, he still took chances and sent people to Lujiang to inquire about the news and see if Quan Cong had captured Lu'an City.
When Quan Cong received the news from Sun Quan, everyone was confused.
Your Majesty, we have agreed that you will contain the Wei army in Hefei and Shouchun, and I will attack Liu'an City.
I have been waiting for nearly a month just for news from you.
We have only been fighting for a few days, and now you say that you have withdrawn your troops, and you come to ask me if I have conquered Liu'an...
I remembered that General Shang led the army to attack Lujiang last year, and he also made an appointment with Your Majesty to contain Hefei. As a result, Your Majesty didn't even go to Xiaoyaojin, and just wandered around Ruxukou.
Quan Cong felt very tired. He ordered with a tired face:
Chapter completed!
