Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 612
"Order the army to pursue." Seeing that Guan Yu's navy began to retreat just after contact, Cai Mao couldn't help but feel a little happy, and quickly ordered his soldiers to pursue.But after that, he looked at Pang Tong with some worry and said, "Mr., do you think Liu Bei is cheating?"

"Hehe, Liu Bei was originally stationed in Xinye, and Xinye didn't have a navy. Now Guan Yu is only leading the Jiangxia navy, so he's no match for the general." Regarding Cai Mao's worries, Pang Tong laughed and said to Cai Mao.

At the same time, on the far bank of the river, Lu Bu, wearing a golden battle armor, was sitting on a red rabbit horse, watching the situation on the distant water.

"My lord, since you have agreed to a temporary truce, why do you need to send troops to Jiangxia? Doesn't your lord mean to temporarily truce and wait for the end of the war in Yizhou?" Following Lu Bu to watch Cai Mao's navy battle near Jiangxia, Xun Yu asked worriedly.

"Hehe, sir, I am afraid that I will suddenly change my mind. Although it is a great achievement to be able to unify the world, I am not in a hurry to unify the world. Naturally, I will wait until I win Yizhou before going south to Jiangdong. But now I have some preparations. It should still be done. This time Jingzhou surrendered, although most of Jingzhou’s 20 soldiers and horses are already in our hands, there are good and bad among them. Although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have trained [-] sailors for me, the combat effectiveness of these sailors is unknown to me. I still have to take a look at it, and at the same time just use this opportunity to consume Jiangdong's navy, isn't that a good thing?" Regarding Xun Yu's question, Lu Bu said calmly, but in fact Lu Bu still had something to say in his heart. That is, although Lu Bu had already made preparations for attacking Jiangdong, the navy in Lu Bu's hands was only [-], while the Jingzhou navy had as many as [-], and the [-] navy led by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, Lu Bubing It is very embarrassing that Cai Hao and Zhang Yungui are the captains of the navy and cannot be trusted by Lu Bu, so some battles are needed to prove their loyalty, and Lu Bu also wants to take a good look at it during this period of time.

"After Liu Bei arrived in Jiangxia, the first thing he did was to send Zhuge Liang to visit Soochow. Everyone knew it was for the purpose of forming an alliance with Soochow. My lord asked Cai Mao to send troops to Jiangxia. I'm afraid the animals won't just sit idly by." Try Cai Mao's ability, Xun Yu beside him kindly reminded him.

"If he doesn't even have the ability to survive, what qualifications does he have to be my naval commander?" Lu Bu naturally understood Xun Yu's worry, so he said.

"General Qi, Guan Yu has returned to the water village with his navy, should we chase after him?" At this time, a soldier reported to Cai Mao.

"I ordered to fire rockets at the water village, and set fire to Liu Bei's water village and their ships." Cai Mao was overjoyed when he heard that Guan Yu was so reckless, and he sent an order to the soldiers around him.

"General, won't we make Jingzhou army laugh if we just withdraw like this?" At the same time, Zhou Cang who was beside him stepped forward and said to Guan Yu.

"How can you catch a big fish without enough bait? Order the soldiers to retreat." Seeing Cai Mao's soldiers and horses shooting rockets at the water village, Guan Yu said to Zhou Cang beside him.

As Cai Maojun launched an attack, the originally peaceful Jiangxia water village was ignited by rockets, puffs of black smoke continued to rise, and Cai Maojun took the opportunity to shout and rush in, but he did not meet Liu Beijun The only thing he could do was to see the back of Liu Beijun fleeing in embarrassment.

"It seems that Guan Yu only had a half-knowledge about naval warfare, so he was defeated." Seeing that Liu Beijun's water fortress was captured soon, Cai Mao became a little excited.Pang Tong looked to the side and said, "Sir, Liu Bei's army is in such a mess, why don't I send some troops ashore to chase after it? Surely we won a big victory, but we didn't gain much. Returning to Xiangyang like this is not easy to report to the regent." Lord Wang, explain."

"General Cai Mao really wants to go ashore? If Liu Bei's army on the shore continues to retreat, will the general continue to pursue?" Pang Tong did not answer directly, but Wei Wei asked with a smile.

"This? Do you mean that Liu Bei is cheating?" Hearing Pang Tong's answer, Cai Mao asked worriedly.

"Liu Beiming knew that his navy could not compete with the general, but why did he send the navy to come? Why did he leave without fighting when he arrived? The general should know the reason for it." Pang Tong said with a smile. .

"If you don't log in, how can you fulfill the Lord Regent's entrustment?" Cai Mao still said a little unwillingly.

"Hehe, the general and general Zhang He have two armies with a total of more than [-] troops. Liu Bei must want to defeat the general and general Zhang He respectively, so the general only needs to wait until General Zhang He arrives. With the strength of the two armies, Attacking Liu Bei is sure to win." Pang Tong said with a smile, without rushing.

"Sir, what you said makes sense. In this case, I will send ships to guard around and wait for work." After listening to Pang Tong's words, Cai Mao nodded slightly. To be honest, with the force of Liu Bei's generals, Cai Mao was also unwilling to fight these people on land. What's more, Cai Mao has won Liu Bei's water village now, and he has won the first battle, and he is not in a hurry to fight Liu Bei.

"With the help of Pang Tong, Cai Mao can't be lured ashore." Outside Jiangxia City, Shan Fu saw that Cai Mao did not chase Guan Yu ashore, and said with a sigh.

"It's fine if Cai Mao doesn't want to go ashore. Let's focus on dealing with Zhang He. The Zhuge military division has sent a message that Soochow will send a navy to reinforce us. Cai Mao will be dealt with by Soochow's navy." After Liu Bei said nothing, Leaving Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun stationed in Jiangxia, he led his soldiers and horses to head straight for Zhang He's soldiers and horses.

"General, the mountain road here is rugged, I'm afraid there will be an ambush." ​​Seeing that the official road leading to Jiangxia is lined with strange stones and the road is difficult, Gao Lan frowned, and said to Zhang He who was a little worried.

"Let's come here today and order the soldiers to set up camp on the spot." Hearing Gao Lan's words, Zhang He was also deeply moved. Zhang He naturally knew what kind of ideas Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were. But in order to ensure safety, I deliberately slowed down.Anyway, I have enough food and grass, and I am not afraid of consumption.

"General Qi, Zhang He's army has set up camp." At the same time, Zhao Yun, who was not far from Zhang He's army, had also received the news.

"Continue to monitor, and report to me as soon as possible." Zhao Yun received the task of blocking Zhang Hejun, but due to the limited number of troops, Zhao Yun was unwilling to attack easily, but kept hiding in the dark looking for opportunities to strike, but since fighting Since Zhang He's soldiers and horses came into contact, Zhang He's army has been in strict formation and always on guard, leaving no opportunity for Zhao Yun to take advantage of. As time went by, Zhao Yun also became a little anxious.

"General Zhao, what is Zhang He doing?" At this moment, a voice came from behind, but it was Liu Bei who rushed over with soldiers and horses.

"Zhang He was very careful in his actions, and he didn't have any loopholes to take advantage of. I was wondering if we could attack at night." Seeing that Liu Bei and others had arrived, Zhao Yun said bluntly.

"Cai Mao's soldiers and horses also stopped by the river and refused to go ashore. It seems that Cai Hao and Zhang He have already discussed it. It's just that they can wait, but we can't. Many people brought by Congxin have not yet come. and resettlement, we must get rid of them as soon as possible, night raids should be night raids, we can’t always be so exhausted.” After learning about Zhang He’s situation, Liu Bei said.

In the middle of the night, a group of men in black came quietly outside Zhang He's barracks holding arrows and crossbows.

"Swish swish swish..." Taking advantage of the gap where the guards were not paying attention, several crossbow arrows flew out from the slanted stabs, which happened to be inserted into the guard's chest, and then the man in black walked forward and quietly opened the gate of the barracks.

At the same time, groups of soldiers and horses were approaching the barracks in the darkness.

"Brothers, charge me and kill Zhang He." When he was about to approach the barracks, a shout came out, but it was Zhang Fei who roared angrily and rushed out first.

"Kill, kill, kill." Followed by countless shouts of killing from all around.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack." As Liu Bei's army rushed in, Zhang He's soldiers and horses in the battalion also realized that something was wrong, and there were shouts of reporting, but they were quickly drowned out by Liu Bei's army's shouts of killing down.

"Humph, come and attack my camp, you all stay here today." In the darkness of the originally silent camp, a fire suddenly blazed up, and groups of soldiers waiting in full force appeared under the light of the fire in an instant. It is Zhang He's soldiers and horses.It turned out that after Zhang He camped, he did not relax his vigilance, but made preparations in advance to prevent Liu Bei's army from robbing the camp.

"Brothers, kill me and wipe out our enemies." At the same time, behind Liu Beijun.Suddenly, a group of people came out, and the first person was none other than Gao Lan.

"It's not good, we fell for it." Seeing Zhang He and Gao Lan attacking inside and outside, Liu Bei immediately knew something was wrong, and immediately sent an order: "Brothers, retreat."

"My lord, there is only one entrance to this barracks, and it has been occupied by Gao Lan's soldiers and horses. We can only fight a bloody road at this time." Seeing the critical situation, Shan Fu said to Liu Bei.

"Brother, come with me." At this moment, Zhang Fei, who heard Shan Fu's words, yelled at Liu Bei, and then walked towards a row of fences in the barracks. A few pieces of wood growing on the wall were removed, opening a way for Liu Bei to escape.

"Kill me, don't run away Liu Bei." Seeing Liu Bei was about to flee from a distance, Zhang He pointed his long sword, and immediately a soldier rushed out.Want to hunt down Liu Bei.

"Hmph, if you want to hunt down my elder brother, you must first ask about the long sword in my hand." At this time, Guan Yu yelled violently, blocked Liu Bei, and swung the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand to kill all the soldiers and horses who rushed up. People are turned on their backs.

"Hmph, Guan Yu, do you think you can fight against my [-] army with your own strength? Kill me." At this time, Zhang He commanded the army, but it was not easy to step forward to fight, but under Zhang He's command Underneath, although Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have several generals, they have already suffered heavy casualties.
