Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 316

Chaohu Lake is considered a large lake in the Jiujiang area, about [-] miles from north to south, more than [-] miles from east to west at its widest point, and [-] miles at its narrowest point.

After the Jiangdong navy completely retreated into the lake, Lu Lingqi really had nothing to do with them, but there was still more than 100 miles of waterway to go from the edge of Chaohu Lake to the river. After confirming that she could not pursue the opponent, Lu Lingqi was ready to intercept them in the river The Jiangdong navy, before the opponent entered the river, dealt another heavy blow to the enemy.

Cheng Pu obviously understood this truth, so after retreating into the lake, he immediately ordered the water army to advance at full speed, trying to enter the river before the enemy intercepted it.

"There are three waterways for the army to retreat from Chaohu Lake to the Dajiang River. One is located in the southwest and is the closest to our army. However, after entering the river, it winds and turns, passing Linhu, Xiang'an and other places, and it takes at least 150 miles to travel. can enter the river; the other two entrances are in one place, both in the southeast direction, and the farthest away from our army, but it takes longer for the enemy to detour. 120 miles, and the other one turns from here, and after entering the river, Niuzhu is on the opposite bank, and the distance is a little longer, about 140 miles.” Zhu Zhi brought the map and showed it to everyone, and at the same time roughly talked about the distance.

Sun Quan looked at the map silently, this time he did not comment, but looked at Cheng Pu and said, "What do you think, General Demou?"

Cheng Pu looked at the map, thought for a moment, and then bowed to Sun Quan, "My lord, the general thought that this waterway to the southwest was not allowed. Super fast than our army, Lu Lingqi's cavalry is extremely fast, and it is easy to catch up with our army. The waterway to the southeast seems to be farther away, but if the enemy wants to catch up with our army, they have to go around half of Chaohu Lake, and the pursuit is even more difficult. The waterway here is spacious, even if we are caught up, our army still has room to fight back."

Cheng Pu's suggestion was undoubtedly excellent. Sun Quan made a rough calculation and chose the second road. Although they had to walk nearly a hundred miles to enter the river, the enemy had to go around two hundred miles by land to catch up with them. Part of the mountains and hills and some not-so-wide rivers have to be crossed, which can hinder the enemy's advance.

In this way, unless the enemy's speed is twice the speed of their ships, it is impossible to catch up with them.

"Okay, according to the general's words, order the three armies to speed up the boat." Sun Quan nodded.

In fact, the speed of the boat is already their fastest speed now, no matter how Sun Quan urges them, they can't speed up any more.

On the other side, Lu Lingqi ran around the river bank, but saw the enemy warships running farther and farther away, she frowned slightly. At this speed, not only would they be thrown away by the enemy, but it would be impossible for the sisters of the Qiao family to intercept them before the enemy retreated. .

"Where are the Qiao family sisters now?" Lu Lingqi stopped her horse and asked.

All the soldiers shook their heads when they heard the words, the sisters of the Qiao family went first, but they didn't know where they went.

"Meet Mr. Zi Yang quickly!" Lu Lingqi made a decisive decision and went back to the army to join Liu Ye.

Liu Ye's army was naturally slower than Lu Lingqi. After meeting Lu Lingqi, Liu Ye looked at Lu Lingqi with a wry smile and said, "General, Jiangdong is good at water warfare. At this time, it is difficult for our army to catch up with water power."

He brought the map, gave Lu Lingqi a rough gesture, and said: "If the speed of the boat is supported by the army, it is no slower than the speed of the infantry, but our army has to go twice as far. Except for the cavalry, the rest of the soldiers are afraid. It is difficult to intercept the enemy before it enters the river."

Qiao Shu looked at Lu Lingqi. Since the two of her sisters joined Lu Lingqi's command, they hadn't achieved an inch of success. At this time, they were somewhat eager to try, especially after Lu Lingqi broke through the enemy's formation eight hundred times. Hearing Liu Ye's words at this time, he couldn't help but A little frustrated.

Lu Lingqi stared at the map for a while, then nodded and said: "The sisters of the Qiao family call them ghost-backed spiders and follow me, and the master leads the troops to gather here..."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of chirping in the sky, and when he looked up, he saw the plump figure of the dove demon flapping its wings and descending from the sky.

"Cuckoo~"

The pigeon demon landed and handed Chu Nan's letter to Lu Lingqi and Liu Ye respectively.

"It's just in time, Pigeon Demon. I need your help right now!" Lu Lingqi put the letter in her arms instead of reading the letter, and looked at Pigeon Demon with burning eyes.

"Gu~?" The pigeon demon has a bad feeling, isn't it going to join the war again when it comes here?I am just a pigeon.

"You take the white jiao into the water, don't get close to the enemy, just use means to slow down the enemy's forward speed." Lu Lingqi asked the little white jiao to help out, they also have a navy, and now they have an air force , Not to mention destroying the enemy, but intercepting it, delaying the enemy's army and buying them more time can always be done.

"Gu~gu!" The pigeon demon didn't want to agree at first, the pain on the Xuchang battlefield has not healed yet!

But as soon as the emotions were expressed, the mistress' eyes became sharper, her shaking head stopped immediately, and she nodded solemnly towards Lu Lingqi.

Then grabbed the little white jiao and spread its wings and flew towards Chaohu Lake.

"Sir, Lingqi is not capable enough to command the army, so the army will be entrusted to you sir!" After arranging the pigeon demon and the little white Jiao, Lu Lingqi turned her head, looked at Liu Ye and said, "A Spider and Lingqi took them away."

"Let's go, general, I will leave this place to my subordinates!" Liu Ye nodded. He was planning to stick to Xiaoyaojin and wait for reinforcements, but after this battle, it seemed that he didn't have to wait for the reinforcements sent by Chu Nan. Just let Chu Nan know what happened here as soon as possible.

The Central Plains should be short of troops now.

"Let's go!" After a brief explanation, Lu Lingqi waved to A Zhu and the Qiao family sisters, signaling the Qiao family sisters to get on the spider and follow her to intercept Jiangdong's army.

Qiao Ying and Qiao Shu are very resistant to riding a spider, but there is no way. If they ride a horse, they are likely to fall behind. The first rule of Lu Lingqi's military training is to overcome all difficulties that are not life-threatening, including some likes and dislikes. Maybe make them act like a baby.

However, although the appearance of this ghost-backed spider makes girls resist, when it runs, the stability of its eight legs is far stronger than that of a horse's four legs. Actually a good illusion.

On the road again, [-] cavalry came galloping, Lu Lingqi had the opportunity to read the letter from Chu Nan, but the letter was basically official, including Cao Cao's death in battle, they were about to capture Xuchang, temporarily unable to send reinforcements to let them overcome It's difficult.

Although Lu Lingqi also knew that this was not the time to talk about the relationship between her children, but seeing that her husband's letter did not contain any personal words, she was still a little disappointed in many letters, until she read the end:
I know that Mr. has the power to turn things around. Nam Ding will dispatch a general to support him as soon as possible. However, before that, I hope Mr. will take care of his wife and help her keep Hefei. I must know that if Hefei is there, Jianghuai will be there. If it is lost, Jianghuai will not be guaranteed. Mr. Wang, don't worry!

Obviously, this is a letter for Liu Ye, and the letter in Liu Ye's hand is for her. That fat pigeon was given to the wrong person!

Lu Lingqi silently put away the letter paper, a low air pressure exuded from her whole body.

"Sister Lu, but the war in the Central Plains is not going well?" Qiao Ying was keenly aware of the change in Lu Lingqi's mood, and asked worriedly.

"No, it went well. Thief Cao has been beheaded by his father in the battle, and Xu Chang will soon be killed." Lu Lingqi said with a blank expression.

"Then why does sister look like this?" Qiao Shu asked directly, a little bluntly.

"I just want to eat roasted squab! The cooks around my husband are very skilled, and I will definitely bring the two younger sisters to taste it in the future!" Lu Lingqi's calm voice was a bit chilly, making the sisters of the Qiao family instantly silent.

The pigeon demon that had already flown over the Chaohu Lake suddenly shuddered, and threw the little white dragon in its claws into the lake, flapping its wings leisurely and chasing after the Jiangdong fleet. With one flap of wings, two whirlwinds flew After a while, waves began to appear on the calm surface of the lake!
On the other side, Liu Ye also ordered the army to move forward again, preparing to rush to the river to meet Lu Lingqi as soon as possible. Naturally, the speed on his side would not be fast. In the carriage, after Liu Ye used the army formation, the marching army was in charge of the generals who accompanied him. Then he opened Chu Nan's letter in the carriage.

His face gradually became stiff, and after a while, he silently rolled up the bamboo slips, and could only reseal the seal with the wax.

"Sir, what did you say in the envoy's letter?" A general following him asked curiously when he saw him close the letter.

"I haven't seen it, and I don't need to. Now that the war is going smoothly, there is no need for reinforcements from there." Liu Ye shook his head lightly.

"Sir, it was obvious just now..." The general looked at Liu Ye in astonishment.

"I said, I have never read the letterhead." Liu Ye turned his head, stared at the general and said seriously.

A moment of blankness flashed in the general's eyes, and then he looked at Liu Ye blankly, opened his mouth, but couldn't remember what he wanted to say, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Sir, don't you want to read your letter?"

"The war is over now, and it won't be too late until the Jiangdong Army is completely defeated!" Liu Ye said indifferently.

"That's right, General Lu is worthy of being the daughter of the lord. After this battle, let's see who dares to underestimate the general's daughter!" the general laughed.

Yes.

Liu Ye nodded. Although he had seen Lu Lingqi's bravery before today, he absolutely did not believe that Lu Lingqi could turn the tide of the battle on her own. Being able to defend Hefei was a success.

Lu Lingqi's performance really shocked him, not only the bravery she showed in this battle, but also the commanding ability that Lu Lingqi showed in this battle, her keen insight into the situation of the battle, and the thousands of troops With a calm and composed spirit, if he was born as a man, he might not be inferior to any top fighter in the world in the future, right?

It's a pity that as a woman, I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune. Chu Nan dotes on her so much and allows her to fight the enemy. For her, it's probably luck...
