Chapter 268 Jiangdong's withdrawal
The night is like water, and hundreds of warships on the river are intertwined and down the river.
In the daytime, after Gan Ning severely damaged the Jiangdong navy, Gan Ning ordered the captured soldiers to be sent to Jiangxia overnight to be detained, while he himself led 20,000 sailors down the river.
The warships walked very slowly on the river, and the Jiangdong banner was hung on the warships on this road, and the huge word "Ling" swayed in the wind, so there was no confusion for 20,000 sailors on this road.
Killed Jiangdong General Ling Cao, captured 15,000 Jiangdong water troops, and captured nearly 100 warships, and countless weapons and armors. This big victory made every Jingzhou water army excited and walked proudly. I don't know how much the morale has improved compared with the previous one.
Gan Ning is also relieved. With this victory, at least those who are dissatisfied with Liu Qi's appointment of him as the commander of the navy can close their mouths.
For three or four days on the way down the river from Xiangyang to Jiangxia, Gan Ning was nervous every day and did not dare to slack off. It has always been his dream to lead the navy, but he didn't know the difficulty until he really commanded the 40,000 navy. The surprise of the leader of 800 people and 40,000 people was simply a world of difference, and his opponent was the elite Jiangdong water army, and Gan Ning did not dare to take a chance.
For these three or four days, Gan Ning was thinking about training warships every day until 40,000 sailors waved under his command, and Gan Ning did not dare to be careless.
Therefore, after repelling the Jiangdong Water Army, Gan Ning only had time to arrange his men to clean the battlefield and returned to the warship and fell asleep.
When he woke up, Gan Ning walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.
"General!" Seeing Gan Ning coming out and several soldiers guarding outside the door saluted respectfully, he was indescribably excited.
"Well, how far is it from Chai Sang?" Gan Ning exhaled turbid breath, and his mood became a little relaxed.
"General Qi, at this speed, the army will be able to reach Chai Sang in two hours." A young general immediately came forward and arched his hand.
"Oh, is there any news from Chai Sang?" Hearing that there were only two hours left, Gan Ning's heart moved.
"There is no news from Chai Sangcheng, but the Jiangdong army has camped by the Yangtze River, and there is also a water army patrolling in Jiangdong above the river. The news from the spy that Lujiang River has prepared ships, and the Jiangdong army is estimated to retreat tonight." The young general is big.
"Oh, so fast." Gan Ning looked up at the sky and bowed his head and said, "Speed up, try to get to Chaisang within half an hour, and order the army to be ready and attack as soon as it arrives at Chaisang."
"No." The young general left quickly, and soon the order was passed, and the speed of the warship suddenly increased, more than twice as fast as before.
Jiangdong's soldiers and horses retreated much faster than he expected, but now that the Jiangdong water army has been defeated, it is impossible for Jiangdong to mobilization the water army again in a short time. He can just rush to Chai Sang to cut off Jiangdong's retreat.
As early as Jiangxia, they discussed it. He led the navy to hit the Jiangdong navy heavily, and then led the navy to Chai Sang to cut off the back road of the Jiangdong army and helped the flying tiger. The flying dragon army defeated the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Jiangxia County.
"It's time for Jiangdong to have a long memory this time." Gan Ning sneered at the corners of his mouth. Jiangdong's choice to attack Jingzhou at this time was nothing more than to take advantage of the fire. If it hadn't been for Liu Qi's tough methods, maybe Jingzhou would have been in chaos at this time, and Jiangxia might have been really occupied by Jiangdong.
..................................................................
As soon as it got dark, Jiangdong Daying was already busy. A famous Jiangdong soldier ran out of the tent and gathered, and the place near the river behind the camp has been built into a simple ferry. This ferry is very simple, with a few boards and a few rough giant trees, and there is nothing else.
"Lord, the army has been assembled. Please board the ship."
Sun Ce and others stood in front of the army. General Zhou Tai saw that he was almost ready and turned to Sun Ce.
"Please board the ship first."
After Zhou Tai finished speaking, the other generals also bowed and saluted.
"Good. Board the ship!"
Sun Ce looked at everyone and knew that if they didn't board the ship, they would not board the boat, and they did not hesitate to turn around and walk to the ferry.
Thousands of small ships have been hovering on the river for a long time, and these thousands of small ships were previously 100 temporarily modified medium warships. When he came to the ferry, Sun Ce jumped off his horse and strode into the boat, and the Jiangdong generals behind him followed closely.
"Ziyi, I'll leave it to you." Zhou Yu walked at the end and looked at Taishi Cidao.
Jiangdong withdraws troops. How can such a big thing be concealed from Jingzhou, and it takes at least a few hours to withdraw troops. Anything can happen in these hours. It is even more dangerous for Tai Shici to stay and guard the battalion.
"Don't worry, the governor, no one in Jingzhou can keep me too much."
Tai Shi Cihun didn't care, and his white face was full of fortitude. He and Sun Ce knew that he could be said to be good friends. Just now, Sun Ce didn't say anything before he left, just nodded to him, which explained everything.
"Hmm." Zhou Yu nodded and turned to walk into the warship.
After that, 5,000 pro-guardians led their horses to the warship. These pro-guards were naturally the elite of Jiangdong to evacuate as soon as possible, and these horses were no less than Jiangdong's soldiers for Jiangdong.
A hundred warships slowly left the shore and went to the opposite side, and then a ship leaned up and picked up the soldiers on the ferry. These ships were extremely small, and only more than ten people could be accommodated on one ship, and it was unstable and could fall into the river at any time.
"General, the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army invaded at the same time." A young general came over quickly and whispered in Tai Shici's ear.
"I see. You are here to urge the soldiers to leave early and send more soldiers and horses back to Jiangdong as much as possible."
Hearing that the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army came to attack Taishici at the same time, Taishici said solemnly. I have long known that today's retreat will not be too easy, but I didn't expect the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army to come so fast.
"For good, the lord and others have returned to Jiangdong."
Tai Shici must be determined in his heart. He pulled the war horse next to him and jumped up and went to the front camp.
Dong Dong Dong Dong...............
The rapid sound of war drums resounded through the sky, and the two phalanxes of the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army appeared outside the Jiangdong Camp at the same time. The soldiers guarding the camp under Xiao's pressure were out of breath and looked at the army outside the camp with a solemn face.
In front of the army, Wang Wei and Wen Ping stood on horseback, casually looking at the Jiangdong camp not far away. Behind them, the 10,000 flying tiger army and 20,000 flying dragon troops stood silently. There was no fierce momentum or aggressiveness, but it was these two soldiers and horses that made the Jiangdong soldiers in the battalion, one by one. His face was pale and he was short of breath.
The Flying Tiger Army is full of white armor, and the Flying Dragon Army is full of black armor. The whole Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army are integrated, just like two fists clenched tightly and ready to go. These two fists are like they can crack the sky and the earth. The soldiers in the Jiangdong camp clenched their weapons and trembled.
"It's really two tiger armies!"
Taishi Ci, who just rushed to the front camp, saw the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army at a glance. He was shocked. Such an army is elite no matter where they are, and these two elites in Liu Biao's hands are like dragons in the net without any power, but now this huge net has been cut off by Liu Qi. Flying Dragon Army and Flying Tiger Army The first joint attack showed the power that everything can be crushed.
"Wait!"
Tai Shici did not dare to hesitate. He immediately ordered the soldiers in the army to be on guard. A famous soldier was ready to shoot at any time in the army's anger, and the soldiers at the camp gate were even more in the camp gate, and a long gun towered outside the camp gate.
"Why didn't you see Feilongwei?"
After arranging everyone to be on alert, Tai Shici was relieved and looked outside the camp door again, and suddenly found that Feilongwei did not come. You should know that although the Flying Dragon Guard is not suitable for cavalry to forcibly attack Yingmen, as long as the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army break through the camp gate, it is a sharp weapon to sweep the remnants. If there is a Flying Dragon Guard cleaning the battlefield at least twice as fast, it can make more Jiangdong soldiers unable to return to Jiangdong.
Although Tai Shici is confident, he is not conceited. With the 20,000 ordinary Jiangdong soldiers in his hand, it is impossible to resist the front of the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army. He could only delay as much as possible to let more Jiangdong soldiers return to Jiangdong.
"Hmm?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Tai Shici's eyes. Not only did they not see the Flying Dragon Guard outside the camp gate, but also the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army outside the camp gate had no intention to attack. He saw it clearly. Although the sound of drums outside the camp gate was shocking, the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army did not intend to attack the camp gate.
The Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army stood quietly outside the camp gate without any movement because of the rapid sound of war drums. Moreover, Wang Wei and Wen Ping were still looking at the camp aimlessly.
"What the hell is going on? Not only did Feilongwei not come, but also the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army were not ready to attack the city. Is there any conspiracy in Jingzhou?
Taishi Ci held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and his thoughts flew to the purpose of Jingzhou to do so.
Two hours have passed. Taishici has been paying attention to how many Jiangdong soldiers and horses cross the river every moment. Every time he sends away a group of Jiangdong soldiers, the young general will send people to think about Taishici to report once. At this time, Jiangdong soldiers and horses have sent away 50,000 soldiers and horses, that is to say, the battalion includes the 20,000 defenders under his command. Inside, there are only 30,000 soldiers left.
"Is it possible for Wang Wei and Wen Ping to drive us back to Jiangdong?"
As more and more Jiangdong soldiers are sent away, Tai Shici increasingly understands Jingzhou's intention.
"Hmm?" Tai Shici squinted at the outside of the camp gate. Finally, there was a movement outside the camp gate, and the 10,000 flying tiger army slowly left under the leadership of Wang Wei.
