Chapter 256 The Plan of Suspects

Outside Jiangxia City, the barracks of the Jiangdong army were empty at this time, and the barracks were everywhere with ashes. Just as the Jiangdong army retreated, Sun Ce ordered to burn the remaining heavy fire.

The 100,000 army marched towards Chai Sang, and just less than half an hour after the Jiangdong army left, the heavy gate of Jiangxia City slowly opened, and the 20,000 flying dragon army slowly walked out of the gate.

As early as when the Jiangdong army negotiated with Jingzhou, Wen Ping had already concentrated 20,000 flying dragon troops in Jiangxia City, which is also the reason why Sun Ce left Zhou Yu and Tai Shici.

After leaving the city, the Flying Dragon Army rectified its formation. Under the leadership of Wen Ping, it put down and chased the Jiangdong army. The Flying Dragon Army was worthy of the elite of Jingzhou. In less than two hours, it chased less than ten miles behind the Jiangdong Army, so that the Jiangdong Army had to be careful against accidents.

With such a large-scale retreat of 100,000 troops in Jiangdong, how could Sun Ce have sent all the scouts out to inquire about the situation around him without arranging in advance? In addition, the Jiangdong scouts, which were originally scattered in Jiangxia, can be said that Jiangxia could not hide any wind and grass in Jiangxia.

Just as the Jiangdong army had just left Jiangxia City, a scout reported the whereabouts of the Flying Dragon Army to Sun Ce. Sun Ce, who was eager to retreat, could only make the army be on guard and order the scouts to pay attention to the situation of the Flying Dragon Army at any time. However, when the second wave of scouts came back to report, the Flying Dragon Army was less than ten miles away from the Jiangdong Army. In a hurry, Sun Ce could only order the army to stop rest and guard against the pursuit of the Flying Dragon Army.

"Lord, the Flying Dragon Army is the elite of Jingzhou. Now it is less than ten miles away from the army. If Wen Ping finds a flaw, it will be extremely unfavorable to the army. If you don't take the initiative to repel the Flying Dragon Army, if you can take the opportunity to eliminate the Flying Dragon Army, it's just a bad breath. Zhang Wei said with a worried face.

"What do you think of Zijing?" Sun Ce thought for a moment and did not make a hasty decision, but looked at Lu Su.

After what happened last time, Lu Su kept a low profile and matured a lot. Hearing Sun Ce's inquiry, he muttered, "Lord, Gongjin should have made more decisions after the break. If you give him another order at this time, I'm afraid it will affect the speed of the army's march. At present, only if you withdraw to Jiangdong one day earlier can the army be safe."

"Well, Zijing is right. Although Wenpin is good at leading the army, he is not the opponent of Gong Jin and Ziyi. Give it to Gong Jin at this time. The army will continue to move forward and pay close attention to the movement of Wenpin's soldiers and horses. Sun Ce thought for a moment and said that he still had confidence in Zhou Yu, and it was enough to deal with Wenpin.

The army continued to move forward after just a short stay, but after the army, the speed of the 20,000 army led by Zhou Yu slowed down, which was exactly twice as slow as the previous army and the central army.

Zhou Yu is very clear about the strength of the Flying Dragon Army and the ability of Wenpin. Once the army is exhausted, if the Flying Dragon Army behind it is suppressed, the 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses led by him can only resist for half an hour. If the army marches in a hurry, it can only become the fat meat in the mouth of the Flying Dragon Army, so Zhou Yu ordered the army to march slowly.

Zhou Yu's army suddenly slowed down, and the flying dragon army behind him also slowed down, following Zhou Yu's army ten miles away from Zhou Yu's army.

"Big Governor, it can't go on like this. The army is under the supervision of Wenpin. If Wenpin really intends to attack us, these two thousand troops will not be enough to resist the Flying Dragon Army."

Among the 20,000 troops after the break, Tai Shici and Zhou Yu rode side by side. After hearing a wave of scout reports, Tai Shici's face was full of worry.

"Ha ha, is Ziyi afraid?" Zhou Yu smiled, and there was also a trace of worry in the depths of his eyes. He never underestimated the strength of the Flying Dragon Army.

"The governor joked. Although Jingzhou's Flying Dragon Army is the elite, my soldiers and horses in Jiangdong are not weak. As for the recruitment, I also didn't pay attention to it. It's just that if our twenty-thousand army is delayed by Wenpin, who else will decide? I always feel that Jingzhou has a big plan this time, and I won't watch our army retreat. Taishi Ci smiled and said that he had never been afraid of anyone to lead a war. If he really fought head-on, even the Flying Dragon Army of Wenpin was confident to resist it.

"Ziyi is right. Jingzhou tried his best to delay the time and mobilized 40,000 sailors to come to Xiangyang. It is not only to force our Jiangdong army. The 40,000 sailors are all the family of Jingzhou. Then if Liu Qi doesn't plan, how can he transfer all 40,000 sailors to Jiangxia?"

After saying that, Zhou Yu turned around and looked behind him, but he didn't see the flying dragon army ten miles behind him. He shook his head and said, "Jiangxia is not only only 20,000 flying dragon troops, but also nearly 30,000 Jiangxia soldiers and horses. Now with 40,000 sailors, even if we have to be careful. This appointment is obviously to take advantage of the fire, but we just need to drag him here to let the master withdraw his troops smoothly, and we won't get anything at that time.

"Oh, at today's speed, the Lord will wait for me in just a few hours. At that time, won't we be alone?" Tai Shici couldn't figure out how to get out if he and others went on like this.

"Don't worry, Ziyi. We will catch up with the Lord tonight." Zhou Yu said with a mysterious smile.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was so relieved, Zhou Yu said that he was already fully sure to get rid of the Flying Dragon Army.

The curtain was getting darker, and the 100,000 troops only left a long string of torches to see clearly a few miles away. However, only half an hour later, when it was completely dark, the torch of Jiangdong's army gradually went out, and Jiangdong's army completely disappeared into the night.

However, the flying dragon army ten miles behind him was brightly lit. When the Jiangdong army disappeared in the night, there was a flying dragon guard who reported the situation to Wenpin. When Zhao Yun left, he deliberately left a hundred flying dragon guards for Wen Ping to act as a scout of the flying dragon army.

"General, Jiangdong's army extinguished the torch and disappeared." A flying dragon guard rushed to Wenpin and said.

"Oh, it's gone. You can catch up and have a look. I'll take the army and come later." Hearing that the Jiangdong army extinguished the torch, he knew that the Jiangdong army wanted to slip away. Although their target was the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, no one was fully sure that they would really leave the 100,000 soldiers and horses behind, so it was Wenpin's intention to destroy as much as he could delay. Now these two thousand soldiers and horses in Jiangdong obviously want to escape. How can he be indifferent?

With the issued of the military order, the speed of the 20,000 flying dragon army suddenly increased and caught up in the direction of the Jiangdong army.

Drive! Drive! Drive! .......

As soon as the Flying Dragon Army chased out, another Flying Dragon Guard rushed over: "General, there are ambushing brothers in front of you who have injured more than ten people."

"What?" Wenpin was shocked. Feilongwei was unfavorable. As long as Feilongwei came out, he could complete the task. Whether there was an ambush in front or Feilongwei, he could retreat completely. But this time, he lost more than a dozen people at once, which made him not surprised.

"General Qi, there is a canyon in front of you. As soon as the brothers entered it, they were shot a lot by Jiangdong soldiers and horses ambushed in it. Now the brothers have retreated." The flying dragon guard was also extremely angry, and even his words gritted his teeth.

"Canyon?" Wenpin was stunned and then sighed. He didn't expect that Jiangdong's soldiers and horses would use this canyon to make a fuss. This canyon is not the only road. It only takes two hours to bypass it to pass through another road.

But these two hours can make Jiangdong's soldiers and horses fall a lot, which makes Wen Ping a little hesitant. It would be bad if Jiangdong's suspected soldiers only ambush hundreds of people in the canyon and disturb his sight, and then the soldiers and horses of the brigade took the opportunity to leave.

"Let's go and have a look." After thinking about it, Wen Ping still felt that he would take a look at the specific situation first. Otherwise, because the army took two hours to make a detour, he was really unwilling in his letter.

Not long after, Wen Ping took the Flying Dragon Army to feel that the canyon was steep, but the surrounding mountains stretched for dozens of miles.

Looking at the canyon Wenpin's eyes flashing in front of him, he was thinking about whether to lead the soldiers and horses in to test it. A quarter of an hour later, Wen Ping finally decided that he should test whether there was an ambush or not. Although there may be some damage, these damage is really insignificant compared with Zhuge Liang's plan.

With a decision in mind, Wenpin did not hesitate to rush into the canyon with three thousand flying dragons.

"Kill!"

"Boom!"

A feather arrow came, and a blazing flame suddenly burned near the valley mouth, illuminating the valley mouth.

As soon as Wen Ping entered the canyon, there was a shocking shout of killing around the canyon, and then the rumble sound of boulders poured down from both sides.

Sw...

The sound of dense arrow rain breaking through the air sounded, followed by a sad shout. The unexpected flying dragon army immediately killed and injured nearly 100 people.

Before the Flying Dragon Army could react, the surrounding boulders had rolled down, and the boulders rolled into the Flying Dragon Army with inertia, and immediately hundreds of Flying Dragon Army were affected.

Seeing this scene, Wen Ping's face was extremely gloomy, but he did not dare to joke about the life of the flying dragon sergeant. He let the flying dragon army attack and immediately ordered the flying dragon army to retreat.

Seeing the dragon army retreating, the Jiangdong soldiers ambushed on both sides of the canyon had another feather arrow, completely driving the dragon army out of the canyon.

Seeing the Flying Dragon Army withdraw from the canyon, Zhou Yu and Tai Shici laughed at one place above the canyon. The soldiers in the Flying Dragon Army were all elites, and killing one was the weakening of Jingzhou's forces. How could they not be happy to kill hundreds of two people at once now?

With the retreat of the Flying Dragon Army, the flame at the mouth of the valley was also extinguished.

"Ziyi, this place will be handed over to you. You can withdraw your troops for an hour and keep up with it at a speed." Zhou Yu looked at Taishi Cidao, an hour was enough for Wen Ping to make up his mind to take a detour, and so that Tai Shici and others would not be blocked behind.
