Chapter 1227 Depressed Han Army

On the other side, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin also led troops into an ambush by the Han army.

In the middle of the journey, ten thousand arrows were fired from the left and right.

Xiang Qin was not strong in martial arts, so he was shot off the horse with several arrows in his body.

Zhou Tai swung the long knife to block the arrows, but the long knife was not as flexible as the long spear. The thick arrows were difficult to block with the machete, and Zhou Tai was still hit by several arrows.

But Zhou Tai has a strong body and thick skin, these arrows do not do much harm to him.

Regardless of the injuries on his body, Zhou Tai grabbed the body of his brother Jiang Qin on the ground and put it on the horse. He urged the horse to gallop to the rear and led the soldiers to break through.

Gan Ning also took the lead, slashing into the Jiangdong army wielding a machete, extremely ferocious.

Zhou Tai also didn't dare to love to fight. After breaking through the siege of the Han army, he led his soldiers and horses and fled in the direction of the downstream water village.

On the north and south banks, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses were all defeated by the Han army and fled in embarrassment, while the Han army pursued them hotly.

On the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu also did not dare to delay at all, and kept urging the soldiers to drive faster and return to the water village as soon as possible.

Because Zhou Yu knew that the soldiers and horses going to the shore must have been ambushed. If he returned late, the water stronghold would be captured by the Han army. If the stronghold was taken by the Han army, then his [-] sailors would have no way out.

Run all the way, race against time.

Zhou Yu's fleet soon arrived at Chaisang Water Village.

Zhou Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the shout of killing had not yet come from the front.

When the fleet entered the water village, Kan Ze, who was in charge of staying behind, hurriedly greeted him: "Captain, why are you back again?"

Zhou Yu got off the warship, and quickly ordered to Kan Ze: "You have fallen into the trick of the Han army, and it is not too late. You quickly divide the 3000 troops left behind into two groups, and sail to meet Zhou Panlong and Zhou Tai. I am here. Resist the Han army."

"Then Liu Yu lied to me!" After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Kan Ze was shocked. If this is true, he is Jiangdong's sinner.

"Go soon?" Seeing that Kan Ze was still blaming himself, Zhou Yu shouted.

"I'm going right now, brothers follow me!"

Hearing this, Kan Ze couldn't care less about blaming himself, and quickly divided the [-] troops left behind into two groups, and went to the north and south banks to meet Zhou Panlong and Zhou Tai.

When Zhou Yu returned to the water village, he also seized the time to deploy defenses.

Not long after, Liu Yu from the upper reaches came with his troops.

"Wu Jun's new defeat is not well prepared, attack me!" The fleet directly sailed to the Jiangdong Water Village, and Liu Yu ordered the soldiers to land and attack.Although Zhou Yu had just returned, the soldiers had bows and arrows in their hands, so Zhou Yu ordered the soldiers to shoot the Han army with bows and arrows.

On the other side, Zhou Panlong and Zhou Tai also led the defeated soldiers to the shore.

When they left the water stronghold, they put the warship on the shore. After escaping to the shore, the soldiers scrambled to get on the warship one by one.

However, the Han army also pursued closely, chasing and killing the Jiangdong army.

Fortunately, Kan Ze's troops arrived at this time. They came to the riverside in warships and shot arrows at the Han army. The Han army could not continue to pursue.Zhou Panlong, Zhou Tai's defeated soldiers escaped back to the warship smoothly.

In the water village, Liu Yu led the Han army to launch a fierce attack on the Jiangdong army.Jiangdong's soldiers and horses were gradually unable to hold on. At this time, it happened that Zhou Panlong and Zhou Tai led the defeated soldiers back to the camp.

"Captain, I led my troops to the north bank, and encountered an ambush by the Han army on the way, causing more than half of the casualties!"

"Captain, I was also ambushed by the Han army on the south bank, with more than half of the casualties, Brother Jiang Qin also..."

Hearing that Zhou Panlong and Zhou Tai had suffered heavy casualties, Zhou Yu's heart was also bleeding, but he ignored the sadness and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Quickly organize my troops and keep the camp!"

"promise!"

The two handed over their hands and quickly let the remnant soldiers under their command join the ranks of guarding the water stronghold.

Although Zhou Panlong and Zhou Tai suffered heavy casualties, there were nearly ten thousand soldiers in total. With these ten thousand soldiers and horses joining, the Han army's offensive was gradually blocked.

However, the Han troops on the north and south banks were on land and could not come over. Seeing this situation, Liu Yu knew that it would be difficult to capture the water stronghold and would require huge casualties, so he could only lead his troops and horses to retreat upstream.

"General Huang, it was I, Zhou Yu, who harmed you in public games!"

It was early morning at this moment, looking at the Han army finally retreating northward, Zhou Yu couldn't bear the sadness in his heart any longer, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground unconscious.

"The governor..."

The current situation in Jiangdong is not good, and now it has been defeated by the Han army again. The soldiers have suffered heavy losses, and the morale of the army has not been raised at all. It is appropriate to describe it as gloomy.

But the Han army is not happy anymore.

Although he was victorious, he did not capture Zhou Yu all the way and break through the Jiangdong water army.It was possible to win, but unfortunately Zhou Yu reacted in time, resulting in a fall short.

On the returning warship.

Veteran Huang Zhong was full of regret, sighed again and again, and muttered: "It's a pity, it's a pity, I couldn't beat Zhou Yu in one fell swoop, otherwise we could go to Jiangdong in one go and win this first achievement."

The other generals on board also yelled that it was a pity.

Seeing this, Liu Yu smiled and said: "You don't have to do this. This time Zhou Yu was tricked, and more than [-] people were killed or injured. We have won a big victory. Go back and set up wine to celebrate. Let's go back and have a few drinks!"

In fact, Liu Yu felt more aggrieved than all the generals. He had already arranged the warship far behind. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu still did not enter the ambush area, which made the encirclement impossible and let him escape. If he had known, he would have set up an ambush farther behind. up.

It's just that he can't show these in front of the generals, otherwise it will damage the morale of the army.

Then Liu Yu led his troops back to the camp.

In the camp, the two generals Fu Youde and Gan Ning have also returned with their troops.

The two of them waited for Liu Yu at the mouth of the water village with their generals, and they also looked aggrieved.

Seeing Liu Yu's return, Gan Ning said with a gloomy face, "Captain, what a shame just now, Zhou Yu actually sent troops to meet Zhou Tai. If there were no soldiers and horses to respond, I could have seized their warships in one go. , went to the water village and attacked Zhou Yu."

Although Fu Youde didn't speak, the depression on his face was undoubtedly revealed.

After hearing Gan Ning's words, Liu Yu laughed loudly and said, "Our army won a big victory today, why do you hate it? When you came back from the shore, did you count the gains on the way?"

Fu Youde cupped his hands and said: "Our army beheaded more than [-] Jiangdong troops and captured about [-] prisoners."

Gan Ning said: "Our army beheaded [-] enemy troops and captured about [-] prisoners! I heard from the prisoners that they even shot Jiang Qin to death. I don't know if it's true or not."

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Old man Huang Gai led five thousand soldiers to feign surrender, and all the soldiers were burned to death. After Zhou Yu came over, he was shot and killed by our army for a while, and he must have lost thousands of people. That's it. Calculated, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses lost more than [-] people, and the yellow cover was also lost. Jiang Qin, our army has won a complete victory. Let the Huotou army prepare a banquet, and let's celebrate today!"
