Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 157 Sima Yi: Did I lose the first battle to establish my foothold in Jiangdong? !

After a long time, Cao Cao was the first to react and shouted: "Quickly, submit the battle report!"

A soldier hurriedly delivered the bamboo slips to Cao Cao. After reading it, Cao Cao laughed.

"Okay, okay!"

Everyone was also shocked and looked at the battle report.

The battle report stated that Jiangdong Gan Ning led 3,000 enemy troops to attack Wancheng, but was repelled by Xu Chu and suffered heavy losses.

"Wancheng is not lost, that's great!"

Cheng Yu was so happy that he almost jumped up. All of them were almost in despair, but now things took a turn for the worse.

The most important thing is that this time it was the always reckless Xu Chu who gave them a surprise!

Xun You laughed loudly: "Prime Minister, this time Jiangdong's wishful thinking failed. I think Zhou Yu and Sima Yi were so angry that they vomited blood. Their best efforts were in vain. How happy!"

They were all depressed before, but now they are all smiling.

Cao Cao nodded slowly, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, this time was really thrilling. I didn't expect Xu Chu to lead his troops to Wancheng, and he made a great contribution by mistake!"

Everyone seemed much more relaxed at this moment, but after calming down, they discovered a problem.

That's why Xu Chu went to Wancheng? There is no reason at all for him to go to Wancheng.

"Could it be that General Xu Chu knew that Jiangdong would attack Wancheng in advance, so he took the soldiers?"

Jia Xu thought for a while and came to a conclusion that was unbelievable to him.

Apart from this conclusion, he could not think of any reason for Xu Chu to go to Wancheng.

Others wanted to rebut but couldn't think of anything to say.

"When did General Xu Chu have such a strategy?"

There is a big question mark above everyone's head.

Only Cao Cao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and knew why Xu Chu went to Wancheng!

……

Juiyang City.

After a night's rest, Zhang Liao once again led his army to the city.

This time Zhuge Liang did not ambush outside the city. After Zhang Liao suffered a loss, he asked spies to explore the surrounding area clearly to ensure that there was no ambush.

Yesterday's Bagua array was still displayed at the foot of the city, which gave Zhang Liao a headache.

"Damn Zhuge Liang, it's just relying on the exquisite formation. Let's see how long you can hold on!"

Facing the Bagua Formation, Zhang Liao had no way to break the formation. The only way he could think of was to use his army to rush into the formation and use his numerical advantage to break the formation.

But this would inevitably cause them a lot of casualties, and they couldn't care less about that now.

"Soldiers, follow me and kill, Zhuge Liang is at the end of his strength and can't hold on much longer!"

Following Zhang Liao's order, the army immediately rushed towards Juiyang City. The ground began to tremble. In the blink of an eye, the army rushed to the formation like a flood.

Although there were only five thousand soldiers in the army formation, they cooperated closely. Facing the enemy's charge, they struggled to withstand the enemy's charge. The soldiers who were ambushing outside the city yesterday also rushed out with bows and arrows, shooting the enemy soldiers non-stop.

For a time, the battlefield was a mess of blood and flesh.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei stood side by side on the city wall, their expressions equally solemn.

"Although Cao Jun was temporarily repelled yesterday by relying on formations and ambushes, Cao Jun will definitely counterattack fiercely today, as expected."

Zhuge Liang sighed and said in a deep tone.

Liu Bei was a little flustered, so he hurriedly asked: "Commander, can we still hold on?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said helplessly: "Cao's army has the advantage in strength, but we are isolated and helpless. Even my Bagua Formation cannot sustain it forever." He knew very well that Zhou Yu would not send troops to rescue him. They, this time they can only rely on themselves.

Liu Bei immediately panicked and couldn't help but ask: "Commander, what should we do? Can we just wait to die?"

"If things go well with Zhou Yu, there may be a glimmer of hope." Zhuge Liang said, but he did not relax at all.

Because even if Zhou Yu succeeds, there is a half chance that Cao Cao will not let them go.

But now they can at least hold on to the news of Zhou Yu.

One morning passed, Zhang Liao led his troops to attack the military formation twice, and each time it was a brutal fight.

Although he failed to break through the military formation twice, Liu Bei's army also suffered many casualties and was just struggling to hold on.

After repelling Zhang Liao again, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"If this continues, maybe we can survive for a few days. Even if the military formation is broken, we can retreat to Juiyang City." Zhuge Liang said.

But at this moment, dust covered the sky in the distance, and a large number of Cao troops appeared behind Zhang Liao's army.

That's Cao Cao's reinforcements!

The moment he saw the reinforcements, Zhuge Liang's heart sank to the bottom.

He frowned, feeling deeply despaired.

"I hope Zhou Yu has succeeded!"

"At this time, General Gan Ning must have entered Wancheng. I believe the good news will come back soon!"

In the Jiangdong water village, Zhou Yu felt a little uneasy.

It wasn't that he was too calm, it was because he had been defeated by Cao Jun many times before, which already had a shadow in his heart.

But this time he believed that he would be able to succeed, and he could be sure of it from the information he got.

Although Cao Cao took action, it was too late.

"What Gong Jin said is that Cao Jun failed to react in time and losing Wancheng is inevitable. We should now consider how to use Wancheng's advantage."

Sima Yi also had a smile on his face at this moment and said slowly.

Both of them had already begun to think about how they could use Wancheng to attack Cao's army.

But before they could be happy for too long, the long-awaited battle report finally came.

"Report!"

"General Gan Ning suffered a major defeat in Wancheng and suffered heavy losses!"

"Hahaha, as expected..." After Zhou Yu laughed twice, his laughter suddenly stopped, and he realized that what the messenger reported just now was not a great victory, but a great defeat!

"How... how could it be possible to lose?!"

Zhou Yu screamed uncontrollably, his face instantly turned pale, as if his soul had been taken away instantly, and his eyes dimmed.

The most incredible thing was Sima Yi. He stood up in disbelief, and then walked up to the messenger angrily: "Is everything you said true?"

His eyes were as sharp as if he wanted to eat someone, which made the body of the messenger tremble.

The messenger replied tremblingly: "It's absolutely true, General Gan Ning was indeed defeated and is now leading his remaining troops to flee for their lives."

Sima Yi staggered two steps and almost fell to the ground.

You must know that this is not just a simple failure. This is the first time he has offered advice to Jiangdong, and it is also his first battle based on Jiangdong.

If he wins this battle, he will be like a fish in water in Jiangdong, but if he fails, his status and reputation will plummet.

Now it seems that the result is obviously the latter.
