Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 409: Zhang Wenyuan, three battles and three victories (first update)
"Today's defeat is only because we underestimated the enemy too much. It is not your fault. You must not belittle yourselves!"

Under the night, in the Jiangdong camp, Sun Zhongmou looked at the disgraced generals. Although he felt a little sad in his heart, he still continued to encourage the generals from the bottom of his heart.

Especially Lu Fan, Sun Quan looked at his tangled face, held his trembling arm and never let go.

"Zi Heng, don't be sad. This battle is not your fault, it's Zhang Liao's cunning!"

As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, Lu Fan's arms trembled even more violently. He wanted to tell Sun Quan something in particular.

"Of course I know this has nothing to do with us!"

Then he took off his boots and slapped the guy in the face with the sole of his shoe.

But in the end he gave up this idea. After all, the newly appointed Marquis of Wu was still their Lord of Jiangdong.
I don't know what it would be like for Cao Mengde to know that he had just given this person the title of Marquis of Wu, and then changed hands and let this Marquis of Wu directly take the retreat.

Thinking about it, he should be promoted again for that Zhang Wenyuan.
Of course, Lu Fan just said these words in his heart.

Under Sun Quan's strong comfort, the atmosphere in the camp finally changed from sadness to frustration and indescribable weirdness.

Under Sun Quan's waving gesture, the generals also silently bowed and retreated, and each went to inspect the camp, or to find their own deployment, so as to appease them.
But what no one expected was that when it entered the second half of the night, the mood and morale of Jiangdong's soldiers had just recovered.

Zhang Liao's surprise attack came again.

Another 800 people were recruited from Pengcheng, and then they led the [-] cavalry directly into the camp of the Jiangdong army.

The morale of Jiangdong's soldiers was already low, and they were also afraid of Zhang Liao. Now they were intercepted by him again in the middle of the night.

This was supposed to be a situation that could be dealt with easily, but Zhang Liao's roars almost triggered a mutiny in the Xiao camp.
When Lu Meng, Ling Tong and others finally calmed down the soldiers, Zhang Liao had already set fire to half of the front camp, killed hundreds of people and evacuated safely.

I don’t know which direction to pursue.

Not only that, this raid caused Jiangdong soldiers to be directly confused. They trampled on each other and killed each other, which also caused them a lot of losses.

When the drowsy Sun Quan saw this scene, he felt that his mind became even more dizzy.

The anger towards Zhang Liao in his heart became even more intense.

"If Zhang Liao is not killed in this battle, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be completely low. How will we be the enemy of the Cao family?
Send an order to all ministries to appease the army tonight, let the soldiers have a good meal tomorrow, and follow me to attack Pengcheng, Xuzhou! "

Sun Quan's order was immediately transmitted to all departments in the army, and the generals and generals couldn't help but frown after hearing the order.

Some of them thought this was not a good idea, but others felt that this might not be an opportunity.

In any case, Sun Quan's order was accepted by them.

After enduring blows and frights one after another, Jiangdong's soldiers could finally sleep peacefully, and then continued to be ravaged by Zhang Liao in their sleep.
Early the next morning, Sun Quan brought out a large amount of grain and meat, and even gave him an absolutely generous reward.

Coupled with the encouragement and assurance from the generals and commanders of various ministries, the morale of the soldiers was barely maintained.

Immediately afterwards, under Sun Quan's order, the army headed directly towards Pengcheng, and finally rushed under Pengcheng with roars.

In order not to face the tragedy like before, Jiangdong Army's formation this time was ingenious.Not only was the speed of the charge ridiculous, but the formation also had the sword and shield soldiers in front, and the crossbowmen holding down the formation in the center.

As for the Chongche and Jinglan, they were directly used as shields on both sides, and even the rear army got themselves a few ladders that they didn't need at all to defend.

Such a formation appeared under Pengcheng, and even Han Hao couldn't help laughing.

The next battle was much simpler. Sun Quan kept urging the army to attack for several days, but the soldiers were already afraid of Zhang Liao.

Although the number of soldiers and horses under his command is no more than a thousand, the mere presence of Zhang Liao on the city wall is enough to make the Jiangdong soldiers tremble with fear.

And if he wanted to pass Pengcheng, he would also have to face Zhang Liao's cavalry, or even a surprise attack by Zhang Liao's cavalry.

Faced with such a situation, Sun Quan finally made a decision.

"Instruct all ministries and the army to slowly evacuate, and then move the people from all over Xuzhou away.

Now that I’m here, I can’t just return empty-handed.”

Sun Quan's orders were carried out very thoroughly this time, and the army packed their bags much faster than when they attacked.

But Zhang Liao finally waited for this opportunity.
Just when Sun Quan's army was withdrawing, Zhang Liao led his troops to charge directly again.

It still had the same feeling and taste, and even because he knew what Sun Quan looked like, this time Zhang Liao simply chased after Sun Quan and slashed him all the way.

And because of Sun Quan's escape, the Jiangdong army was once again beaten to pieces.

Not only that, when Zhang Liao retreated all the way before, those soldiers and horses that should have been defeated and scattered gathered up again.

This time they directly set up obstacles one by one on the only way for Jiangdong soldiers to enter Xiacai and other places.

Zhang Liao figured out what they wanted, and not only blocked their retreat in advance, preventing them from entering the city to garrison.

Moreover, the pursuit along the way was the first to break down the bridge that Sun Quan had simply built, destroying their temporary ferry.
By the time Sun Quan's army crossed the river and returned to Yangzhou, the [-]-strong army had completely lost confidence.

They were killed, captured, fled, trampled on each other and died in countless numbers.

There were dozens of Xiaowei Zhonglang generals in the army, and even Ling Tong and other generals were directly and seriously injured by Zhang Liao and almost died.

Not only that, Sun Quan's bodyguard Zhou Tai also suffered more than twenty wounds in order to protect Sun Quan.

The large and small wounds made this guy look like he had been killed from under the Nine Netherworld.
But Sun Quan's defeat did not continue. After chasing him all the way, Zhang Liao did not stop.

Instead, he took advantage of this great victory and led his troops to cross the river into Yangzhou without Sun Quan's knowledge. Then he hid outside Shouchun and waited for Sun Quan to lead his troops in.
He rushed out in one fell swoop and directly captured the Yangzhou city gate.

When they escaped and ascended to heaven again, Zhang Wenyuan had already asked the soldiers on the city wall to shout respectfully to send Wu Hou back.
In this battle, Zhang Wenyuan first lured the enemy to go deep, and then won three battles and three victories, almost making everyone in Jiangdong plain.

Finally, his name Zhang Wenyuan was deeply engraved in the hearts of every Jiangdong person.
