Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 953 Give up the Hanshui River!

Hanshui!

For three full days, Jingzhou soldiers and horses attacked without sleep, and the [-] troops led by Zhou Yu suffered heavy losses.

After the sound of Mingjin at dusk came, the embarrassed Lu Jun gasped heavily and began to shrink the line of defense.

It has been three full days since the army crossed the Han River, but the camp has not even established a decent camp.

The surroundings were in a mess, broken antlers, exposed traps with corpses left, and the tents of the [-] troops were all simple and temporary.

"Captain! The soldiers suffered too many casualties!"

"Captain, if the morale of the three armies continues to decline~I'm afraid~"

Just after the troops were withdrawn, the generals came to Zhou Yu panting heavily, and reported helplessly one by one.

The bright silver armor was covered with a layer of dust, and even Zhou Yu's handsome cheek was covered with a layer of dirt, and his bright eyes looked around.

"Damn it, the thieves' crossbows have caused too much loss to our cavalry."

Pei Yuanqing walked up and down angrily, muttering non-stop, and at this moment, there was a mess all over the place, and the densely packed soldiers slumped on the ground indiscriminately, panting and resting.

For three whole days, not to mention rest, even meals were provided with hard dry food, and they didn't even have a place to cool off under the scorching sun during the day.

Listening to the reports from the generals, Zhou Yu sighed softly, waved his hands and said, "Order the soldiers of the three armies to hold on for a few more days. The king has already left Luoyang, and the young master and General Gao Shun have led the army to Wancheng. It will take a few days to come back." Cross the Han River."

They had heard such words for countless times, and the generals held their fists helplessly. They had told their soldiers countless times these days, and they were afraid that the soldiers would not be able to hold on in a few days.

No bed crossbow!No catapults either!Facing the overwhelming attack of the Jingzhou army, they could only resist.

The cavalry suffered heavy losses. Seeing the black blood stains on Pei Yuanqing's silver armor, Zhou Yu stepped forward and patted Pei Yuanqing on the shoulder solemnly.

"Yuanqing, thanks to the support of Ru and Zilong's cavalry, otherwise this general's 10,000+ army would not be able to hold on!"

Facing Zhou Yu's dignified attitude, Pei Yuanqing waved his hand wearily and said: "Don't talk about it, I'm doing all this for the king. Ru Gongjin's face is not worth the loss of the cavalry!"

Although there were some jokes, Pei Yuanqing's words showed a sense of aggrieved, and Zhao Yun in the distance commanded the soldiers of the three armies calmly.

Zhou Yu, who saw all this in his eyes, sighed even more. The cavalry should be the strongest attacking existence on the battlefield, but he restrained him instead.

Otherwise, how could there be such a large number of cavalry casualties? The [-] cavalry lost more than [-] cavalry in three days of fierce fighting.

The original army of 15, plus the continuous reinforcements, there is a full army of [-], but the infantry has lost more than [-] so far.

This is only a loss on the battlefield. The morale of the 10,000+ army three days ago is simply a huge disparity compared to today's.

Three days ago, the morale of the 10,000+ army was high, but now they are slumped on the ground, and many people are even dizzy due to the scorching heat.

"Gong Jin, the scouts are here to report that reinforcements have arrived in Xiangyang. I am afraid there are no less than 30 soldiers in the three armies of Yue Fei's army!"

Zhao Yun, who came over, said with a heavy face, and at the same time looked vaguely at the soldiers around him, so as not to be overheard.

Zhou Yu nodded lightly after hearing this, and called Pei Yuanqing and Zhao Yun to walk towards the place where there were few people.

"Jingzhou's reinforcements have arrived, I'm afraid our army will not be able to hold on."

Facing Zhou Yu's heavy tone, Zhao Yu and Pei Yuanqing also looked a little unhappy.

"Even if we retreat at this time, we may not be able to retreat completely. After all, our warships are limited, and Yue Fei will not just let our army retreat!"

The current situation is that the attack is weak, and the three armies cannot be preserved even if they retreat!

"Zilong! Yuanqing!"

Zhou Yu said softly, then looked into the eyes of the two and said in a deep voice: "[-] cavalry, plus more than [-] iron cavalry in Chengdu, the soldiers of the three armies can only carry food and grass for seven days, but you can hold it with confidence!"

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Zhao Yun and Pei Yuanqing's expressions froze, and they all looked at Zhou Yu in shock.

rare!

The two had already guessed Zhou Yu's thoughts. After Pei Yuanqing and Zhao Yun looked at each other for a while, they clasped their fists and said in a low voice: "Fighting alone, less than [-] cavalry may have to hide around."

Even the unruly Pei Yuanqing didn't have much confidence at this time, and sighed with a wry smile: "Deeply trapped in the enemy's encirclement, the blow to the morale of the three armies is definitely not small."

"We also have to face the endless encirclement and suppression by the Jingzhou army. If we fail, the iron cavalry will fall into the quagmire, and there will be no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to earth."

Zhao Yun on the side nodded his head silently. Not only did the cavalry suffer a lot of casualties in the past few days, but they also consumed a lot of energy. If the cavalry were really allowed to stay in Jingzhou, I'm afraid!
The bright eyes dimmed a little, Zhou Yu sighed faintly, stared at the Han River in the distance and murmured: "It will take three days for the reinforcements to reach the other side at the earliest."

At this time, Zhou Yu lowered his head and saw the ants crawling around his feet, scrambling for the remaining dry food slag.

The black ant colonies are strangling frantically one by one, and new ant colonies are constantly joining.

Stepping on the black combat boots directly, Zhou Yu woke up with a start, and looked up to see Pei Yuanqing's resolute cheek.

"I also ask the governor to order that the last general Pei Yuanqing is willing to lead [-] cavalry to stay in Jingzhou, and delay the arrival of the three armies for the king!"

No one thought that Pei Yuanqing would choose this narrow escape path. Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard about it, and then showed a look of admiration.

"Haha~ Yuan Qing, it's rare that I, Zhao Zilong, are the ones who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Order!"

Zhao Yun and Pei Yuanqing both chose to buy time for the army to cross the river, but Zhou Yu's mouth slowly curled into a smile.

"Haha~"

Zhou Yu's wild laughter suddenly echoed along the banks of the Hanshui River, and immediately attracted the attention of countless soldiers.

I saw Zhou Yu laughing and slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, pointing the Yitian sword at the distant mountains.

"Zilong, Yuanqing, there may be an army of [-] stationed in the mountains in the distance!"

The two looked at each other in a daze, not understanding for a while, but Zhao Yun stared carefully at the hilltop with sparse trees in the distance.

"Three hills are in a row. If one hundred thousand troops stick to it, they will definitely be able to hold on. It is the Han River! Also, if our army abandons the banks of the Han River, I am afraid that the Jingzhou Army will completely cut off our army's retreat. Can't get there!"

Zhou Yu who listened first nodded and finally shook his head. Under the puzzled eyes of the two, Zhou Yu laughed out loud.

"Order the soldiers of the three armies to prepare for war!"

"Zilong, Yuanqing, you two led all the cavalry in the army to protect the soldiers of the three armies!"

"Not to mention three days, even five days, the bandit army may not be able to build a new water village."

When Zhou Yu said this, his piercing eyes were full of vigor.

"A [-] army is defending to death, Chengdu has already passed on the eagle, and [-] cavalry will arrive tomorrow morning!"

"Since we have a good location, then all [-] cavalry will be sent out, and I will attack at will!"
