The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 260: Anyone who goes to war without permission will be executed

The remaining Jiangdong troops on the shore were not much better off.

When these people learned that they were surrounded, they were already frightened and in a panic.

Ling Tong had no choice but to rush out with his personal soldiers.

Swing the weapon forward to deflect the incoming arrows.

Try to break out to the left and right.

At worst, we can delay time and wait for reinforcements.

In fact, Zhou Yu had already given the order to support.

The reinforcements' warships had already arrived.

However, Zhang Liao had dispatched warships to block them outside, so they couldn't get in at all!
Little did he know that Ling Tong was struggling on the shore at this moment.

He dodged left and right along the way and ran along the river bank in a hurry.

Soon, the close associates around him were killed or injured.

Seeing the enemy troops surrounding him, he began to panic.

He was accidentally hit in the hind leg by an arrow, and his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

Then he was hit by several arrows from behind and finally fell to the ground.

At this point, the pain all over my body was exhausting.

Soon he fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.

In his confusion, he was still full of doubts and muttered to himself:
"Damn it... I've been through so many storms in Jiangdong."

"Now, like my father, I am going to die in Jiangxia..."

These Jiangdong soldiers were so frightened when they saw their commander fall down that they didn't know what to do!
At this time, the enemy behind him shouted:

"Listen, anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

The remaining several thousand soldiers heard it clearly.

In desperation, they all dropped their weapons and surrendered.

They allowed the enemy to tie them up and take them back to the camp.

And on the other side of the camp.

Zhang Liao was leaning against the wall of the village, watching what was happening on the shore.

Seeing that the situation was settled, he looked up at the warships on the opposite river.

A smile appeared on his face.

The battle lasted all night long.

Pan Zhang and Ling Tong's plan to seize the enemy camp completely failed.

Some of his soldiers were killed or captured.

Ling Tong was ambushed and his life or death was unknown.

Only Pan Zhang fell into the river and managed to escape back to the camp.

When it was a little light, inside Zhou Yu's central military tent.

Pan Zhang, despite being covered in blood, knelt before Zhou Yu and begged for his crime.

"Humph!" Zhou Yu was so angry that he was shaking all over.

"You disregarded military orders and went into battle without authorization!"

"This resulted in a great defeat in this battle, and affected all three armies!"

"Now there are so many casualties, what crime should you be punished for?!"

It is not shameful to lose a battle, but it is shameful to lose the battle without knowing why.

Without even thinking twice, he gave away three thousand soldiers and horses for nothing.

Although they have won many victories since the war began.

But the opponents are soldiers who have been trained for a long time after all.

If commanded properly, he may not be a pushover.

In this case, how can we advance rashly without any plan?

Zhou Yu originally thought that his camp was robbed last night.

It's already a painful lesson.

I didn't expect that today's battle would make all the results of the past few days go to waste!
Now the morale is at a low point and the army's will is shaken!

"I admit my guilt!" Pan Zhang kowtowed heavily.

"I am willing to be punished!"

"But we did not intend to disobey military orders, but..."

"And what?" Zhou Yu asked coldly.

Pan Zhang gritted his teeth and said:
"I really can't swallow this!"

Having said this, he covered the wound on his shoulder and gasped.

"The enemy attacked our camp at night when I was not prepared."

"Ling Tong and I went into battle only to pull back a win and boost morale!"

"Last night the enemy outnumbered us and won an unfair victory!"

"Please ask the Grand Commander to give me another 3,000 men!"

"I will personally..."

"Shut up!" Zhou Yu slammed the table.

"Don't you think losing isn't bad enough?!"

"You underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, and you did not lead your troops carefully."

"You just keep pestering me without any rules!"

"Gan Ning raided the camp last night and took advantage of the chaos to retreat. It's obvious that he has a backup plan!"

"You two went out on your own and fell into the enemy's trap!" "Now the whole army has been running all night and is exhausted."

"If we go to war again, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"

After the battle, Zhou Yu came to his senses.

He also regretted being misled by the enemy.

No order was issued to impose martial law on the entire army afterwards.

"This...I..." Pan Zhang was a little confused for a moment.

I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.

Since the war began, when have they ever suffered such humiliation?

The enemy has blatantly raided our camp. Do we really have to endure it?

And before that, Jingzhou was still in Liu Biao's hands.

Isn't that how they did it?

Even if it falls into Cao Cao's hands now.

Aren’t the Jingzhou navy just as useless as before?

Even if they were defeated today, it was only because they were ambushed by the enemy.

If this were a head-on battle, they would definitely not be at a disadvantage.

"Damn it!" Zhou Yu saw that he didn't know he was wrong.

I was immediately furious.

"Someone come! Get Pan Zhang out of here!"

"A heavy fine of fifty military blows!"

"Don't let him step into the big tent anymore!"

The personal guards obeyed the order and immediately carried Pan Zhang out.

Then they beat Pan Zhang with sticks, making him scream.

Then he crawled out of the central army camp.

"Ah..." Zhou Yu slumped in the commander's seat.

"It really makes me angry!"

"Grand Commander, please calm down!" All the generals in the tent spoke out to comfort him.

Seeing this, Lu Su hurried over and patted his back to help him calm down.

But even after punishing Pan Zhang.

Zhou Yu was still holding his breath.

I'm not mad at others, I just blame myself.

No matter why we lost the battle, as the commander we are responsible.

If he hadn't been on guard, how could he have suffered the defeat today?

He took a few deep breaths and thought about it with a frown on his face.

He took out a blank piece of letter paper from the desk and wrote down the military order.

At the same time he said loudly:
"Pass on this governor's order. From now on, the number of night patrols will be doubled!"

"If there is no nightly news of a fight, and you are lazy and fail to report it, or if you are slow to act, you will be beheaded!"

"If you don't advance at the drum, don't stop at the gong, don't raise the flag, don't lower the flag, those who disobey orders will be executed!"

"Anyone who goes out to fight without my order will be killed immediately!"

After writing it, he threw it on the table and said seriously:
"Lax military discipline is a taboo in the military!"

"From now on, you will all follow the instructions strictly."

"I will show no mercy to anyone who dares to break military discipline!"

After hearing this, all the generals were awed and knelt down to salute and accept the order.

They all responded in unison: "We will follow the orders of the Grand Commander!"

But no matter how they tried to remedy the situation, the Jiangdong army was defeated after all.

The originally high morale suddenly became low.

The military order was immediately sent to each camp.

The generals also strictly abided by the rules and deployed their troops by the river waiting for the opportunity.

On the other hand, the Jingzhou navy suffered a disadvantage in the first battle.

Yu Jin then stationed his army at Wulin Port on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

For almost half a month, they didn't dare to take the initiative.

The Jiangdong army on the opposite side also had no reaction.

The Yangtze River brought together nearly 200,000 troops.

There was an eerie calmness.

Before this, even the two armies' river patrol boats had collided head-on.

They just shot some empty arrows from a distance, and then did their own thing without disturbing each other.

The reason why the war is at a stalemate is that neither side is sure of victory.

Although the Jingzhou navy was large in number and powerful in strength, it was not as elite as Zhou Yu's troops.

Moreover, the previous battle had already made Yu Jin see it very clearly.

If we just keep fighting, there will be too many casualties and we may not necessarily achieve the final victory.

On the other hand, although Zhou Yu's men were all elite naval warriors, there was a huge disparity in their strength.

If you try your best and risk everything, just the slightest mistake will happen.

The six counties of Jiangdong will be destroyed in an instant!
