The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 600
"Ziming once said that whether it is a rush or an ambush, it takes a lot of time to mobilize troops. Ziming called this a time difference." Guo Jia looked at the map and said confidently: "What Zhou Yu needs most now is time. To attack Xiapi or come to besiege us, it will take time to mobilize troops and horses."

Guo Jia pointed to the triangle of Lingbi, Xiapi, and Huaiyin and said, "It takes three days for Lingbi to get to Xiapi, and five days to get here. I only need three days to get to Xiapi. Now, Shouchun's [-] Jiangdong soldiers attacked first. Cai, it will take five days to attack Lingbi, and it will take three to five days. After Lingbi is captured, the [-] Jiangdong soldiers and horses will choose whether to attack Xiapi or come to encircle Zhou Yu's army according to the mobilization of our troops and horses. I wait."

"It is the intention of the military division to directly divide the troops into Lingbi, so as to block the Jiangdong soldiers and horses here, keep Lingbi, and make them lose their mobility?" Restricting the enemy's mobility is specifically explained in the military textbook formulated by Chen Ziming. Xu Huang quickly Think of a solution.

"No." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "When Shouchun's soldiers move, Zhou Yu's entire army will definitely press up and attract the general's attention. At the same time, he will send troops to lie in ambush on the way to Lingbi. If the general sends troops to reinforce Lingbi, he will definitely be ambushed by him."

"Then what should I do?" Xu Huang asked anxiously.

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "Withdraw the army immediately, before Zhou Yu's army overwhelms, retreat to Xiapi, abandon this place, and Xiacai, Lingbi and other places."

"Military division, if we wait to withdraw, the Jiangdong army will definitely invade Xuzhou, and the army will be unstable." Xu Huang's task is to hold back Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, keep Xuzhou, and retreat rashly, which will have a great impact.

"Zhou Yu divides his troops into Xuzhou. Now it is meaningless for me to wait here. Once Zhou Yu's army is dispatched, I will not be able to leave if I want to. General, if you stop, you will stop." Guo Jia reminded Xu Huang in a deep voice, the only way to solve Zhou Yu's division The best way is to retreat to Xiapi and let Zhou Yu's army reunite.

"withdraw!"

Xu Huang quickly made a decision. That night, the army quietly packed their bags and retreated quietly. However, the 20 army moved, no matter how careful it was, it was impossible not to make a little noise, and Zhou Yu soon noticed it.

"not good!"

After Zhou Yu learned of the movement of Xu Huang's camp, his face changed drastically. Once Xu Huang's army retreated to Xiapi, then his plan to encircle and wipe out Xu Huang's army would be useless. Lingbi, even half of Xuzhou's gains and losses.

What Zhou Yu wanted was to encircle and wipe out Xu Huang's army. As long as Xu Huang's army was wiped out, the big man would no longer have the strength to stop Jiangdong's offensive.

But Xu Huang withdrew his troops to preserve his strength, so even if Zhou Yu won a few cities, it would be meaningless.

"Let Zhou Tai lead [-] soldiers and horses to pursue Xu Huang, and stop Xu Huang at all costs! The rest of the ministries muster quickly!"

After a little thought, Zhou Yu chose to take the risk. As long as Xu Huang could be held back, it would be worthwhile to lose a little troops.

Soon, the soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong battalion rushed out to attack Xu Huang's battalion, which was retreating.

The camp of Xu Huang's army seemed to be an empty camp. Except for rows of tents, Jiangdong soldiers and horses did not see a single enemy, and the camp was completely dark.

"Come on!"

Knowing Zhou Yu's plan, Zhou Tai certainly didn't want to let Xu Huang go, so he immediately led the army into the camp, intending to go directly through the camp and hunt down Xu Huang.

"wrong!"

Not long after entering the camp, Zhou Tai suddenly felt uneasy when he saw the dark and empty camp.

At this moment, a little spark appeared in the dark sky, and then countless sparks appeared in the sky, rushing towards Zhou Tai's soldiers and horses.

"Not good, there is an ambush, retreat quickly!"

Zhou Tai, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was aware of this situation and immediately led his troops to withdraw from Xu Huang's camp.

"ah.......

"Help!"

"Run...!"

"Drive...drive..."

The [-] soldiers and horses brought by Zhou Tai were attacked by countless rockets, and there was chaos. The rockets ignited tents one after another. The most important thing was that there were fire igniters in the tents. The calls continued, and the losses were heavy.

"Get out!"

Zhou Tai rode his horse back and roared loudly, as he was about to withdraw from Xu Huang's camp.

At this moment, an enemy army came from the left and right sides, blocking Zhou Tai's retreat.

"Kill it out!"

Seeing this, Zhou Tai was fearless and took the lead, killing Gao Lan who was blocking his way.

"Humph!"

Gao Lan sneered, and fought with Zhou Tai.

"clang!"

"Chong!"

Gao Lan and Zhou Tai are equal in force, both of them are rare top fighters, they are called to fight, and ordinary soldiers can't get close.

"Kill it out!"

Zhou Tai was already jealous, many of the [-] Jiangdong soldiers and horses he brought were burned to death by Xu Huang, and now they were besieged and killed by the army, and they kept falling down.

"Don't worry, general, the future will come!"

At this moment, a Jiangdong soldier and horse came from behind Gao Lan. It was Jiangdong General Ling Tong.

"withdraw!"

Seeing Ling Tong's arrival, Gao Lan immediately ordered to give up besieging Zhou Tai, otherwise he would be in danger if he was surrounded by Ling Tong.

"kill!"

Zhou Tai was rescued by Ling Tong. Looking back, he saw that most of the [-] Jiangdong soldiers he brought had lost most of them, and almost everyone was injured. In a rage, he wanted to bring Ling Tong's troops to chase and kill Gao Lan.

"The governor has an order not to pursue, general, quickly retreat to the camp."

Ling Tong hurriedly pulled Zhou Tai, joined Zhou Tai's soldiers and horses, and retreated slowly.

Just after walking for a while, another Jiangdong army arrived, and the leader of the army was Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong.

"It's my fault." Looking at Zhou Tai's soldiers who suffered heavy losses, Zhou Yu sighed.

Zhou Tai hadn't set off for a long time, Zhou Yu's face changed drastically when he gave the order, and he hurriedly sent Ling Tong to meet Zhou Tai. If Zhou Tai entangled Xu Huang, then Ling Tong would join the battle. If Zhou Tai was lying in ambush, he would rescue Zhou Tai. chase.

Not long after Ling Tong set off, Zhou Yu was still worried, and immediately led the troops to come, just in time to meet Zhou Tai and Ling Tong who were retreating.

Just as Zhou Yu expected, Zhou Tai was indeed ambushed, but fortunately Ling Tong rescued him in time.

"Governor, the general will go after the enemy again, and Xu Huang must be left behind." Zhou Tai was unwilling to let Xu Huang escape, Zhou Yu's plan would fail, and it would be even more difficult to force Liu Bei to make peace.

"Chasing rashly, I'm afraid I'll fall into the trap." Zhou Yu thought for a while, rejected Zhou Tai's request, and then said helplessly: "Guo Jia's talent is not inferior to me. My plan is to be broken by him and forcefully pursue him, which will mess up my position. , that’s all.”

Zhou Yu sighed for a while and then sent an order: "Ling commanded [-] soldiers as the vanguard, and the army marched out, and the soldiers entered Xiapi!"

"Order Ding Feng to attack Xiacai and Lingbi, and then quickly come to Xiapi to join us."

Although Xu Huang was not left behind, Xu Huang's block was broken. After half a year of stalemate with Xu Huang, Jiangdong's army was finally able to invade Xuzhou.
