Chapter 619 Leading the Army to See Off
Hearing Zhuge Jin's words, Sun Jian also reacted, felt bad, hurriedly stepped to the edge of the boat, and looked into the river, his face turned ashen.
On the surface of the river, there are countless green grasses floating. This is not the common algae duckweed, it is clear that someone has deliberately plucked the grass and sprinkled it on the water surface.
"Report, my lord, the paddle wheels of our warship are all entangled by water plants, and it is difficult to use force. Now we can only let the water flow."
Wu Meng, the general in charge of commanding the fleet, hurried forward and said in a panic.
He has ordered people to go into the water to untangle the tangled plants, but the effect is disappointing, and it will not be long before they will be blocked by new plants.
It's hard to believe that the Jiangdong navy, which made the princes of the world jealous, would be defeated by this little grass.
"Is it true that Yue Fei is so powerful, and even our army's retreat by water is planned in advance?"
With disheveled white hair fluttering, Sun Jian let out a long sigh, helpless and desperate. The river connected to the Huaihe River was better than being stable, and his instinct ensured that he returned to Hefei safely to rectify his troops.
But now, stability has become the biggest problem. The grass floating on the river is like a green screen, which can't be seen endlessly and has no way to go.
The Jiangdong officials were also terrified. They could be captured, but Sun Jian could not.
"My lord, before Yue Fei catches up, hurry up and leave in a small boat."
Lu Su remonstrated that only small boats need to be paddled, and there is no need to worry about the stagnation of aquatic plants.
Sun Jian shouted loudly: "I, Sun Jian, am I the one who abandons soldiers and horses and escapes alone!"
"The victory is not yet decided, why did General Sun leave without saying goodbye?"
With a clear sound, the big flag with Xu character was slowly raised, Yue Fei rode his horse, and behind him Xuzhou's army came and fell, endlessly.
This is all right, and even the possibility of leaving by boat has been completely cut off.
Beside Yue Fei, Cheng Yaojin was covered in grass, watching the Jiangdong warship slow like a turtle, he grinned and laughed.
You know, he led the soldiers under his command to fight grass for three days and three nights without sleep.
"Skills are not as good as others, so you should be defeated. However, Sun Jian can be defeated, but he will never surrender. Yue Fei, how about we fight again?"
The Xuzhou army had completely occupied both sides of the river bank. Sun Jian and a group of civil servants were trapped in the river, unable to advance or retreat.
Yue Fei shook his head and smiled lightly, and said: "General Sun is worrying too much. I am waiting to come here not to invite General Sun to Chenliu for a talk, but because the Lord has an order. After all, General Sun is Mrs. Ren's father. This father-daughter relationship ceased to exist when the alliance was made, but if General Sun wants to leave, I will definitely give it to the mistress."
"Zijing, what does Yue Fei mean by that?"
Sun Jian calmed down and naturally did not believe that Yue Fei really just led the Xuzhou army to see him off as he said.
"My lord is trapped, and Jiangdong soldiers will definitely come to help. The closest ones are Lu Meng from Hefei and Gong Jin from Xuyi. Yue Fei is doing this, either to take down Hefei City, or to defeat our Jiangdong navy!"
Lu Su continued: "However, in this way, we will have a chance to breathe. My lord, it is better to delay first. At that time, the generals will move after hearing the news, and the navy and Hefei soldiers will also arrive one after another. Our army is in order. Taking advantage of the situation to counterattack may not be impossible to turn defeat into victory!"
After Sun Jian listened, he nodded with a wry smile. Lu Su's words were nice, but he knew very well that they could only do this at the moment.
"Then please ask General Yue to thank King Wu on my behalf! Wu Meng, set sail!"
Sun Jian raised his hand and gave an order, as if he had forgotten the Xuzhou army on both sides of the strait, and ordered the warship to continue to set off.
Yue Fei waved his hand to signal the soldiers not to act rashly.
Every time the Jiangdong army marched for a mile, the Xuzhou army followed for a mile. They hung behind the Jiangdong army in such a leisurely manner. In the heart of every Jiangdong soldier.
After following for three days and three nights like this, all the generals who went to chase the generals in Jiangdong also led their troops to join up one after another. The Xuzhou army grew more and more, and they still followed Sun Jian's army.
However, after three days, the water plants in the river had been almost washed away. Wu Meng ordered people to clean up the weeds on the paddle wheels, and the Jiangdong warship finally resumed its extreme speed.
Yue Fei was not surprised to be flustered when he saw this, he just clasped his fists at Sun Jian and led the army away, as if it was really what he said before, he was just leading the army to see Sun Jian off.
"Not far ahead is Hefei City. As long as we enter the city, no matter what Yue Fei is planning, our army will have room to fight with it."
Sun Jian's frowning brows were finally relieved. The Xuzhou army followed him closely these days, and the feeling that he would be slaughtered at any time made him almost out of breath.
"Where is Lu Meng! My lord is here, why don't you quickly open the city gate to welcome him!"
Wu Meng came to Hefei City, looked at the closed city gate, and couldn't help shouting loudly to the tower.
"Sorry, there is no military order, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan dare not open the city!"
On the top of the city, the big flags with the word "Lü" fell down in unison, and were replaced by the Xuzhou military flag and a big flag with the word "Zhang" stained with blood.
One day ago, Lu Meng heard that Sun Jian was trapped in the river by Yue Fei, so he did not dare to delay, and immediately led [-] soldiers and horses with Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong to rescue him. In Hefei, only Dong Xi and more than [-] soldiers and horses were left.
Not long after Lu Meng's army left the city, Zhang Liao left and returned. He and Xu Huang led three thousand Danyang elites to pretend to be Jiangdong's defeated army and open the city gate.
As soon as the city gate was opened, the fangs appeared.
Zhang Liao and Xu Huangliang became famous and went straight to the city wall. In a hurry, Jiangdong's army was unprepared, and Dong Xi quickly commanded the army to fight back.
Zhang Liao's prestige made Jiangdong's soldiers extremely terrified. They swung their knives and attacked, but no one dared to fight. Dong Xi knew that Hefei could not be lost, and knew that he was invincible, so he also gritted his teeth and went forward.
The two fought for only one round, the sword flashed, and Zhang Liao beheaded Dong Xi on the spot.
After the death of the main general, the rest of the Jiangdong Army was frightened by the power of Zhang Liao and Xu Huang and no longer had the courage to fight with them. All the [-] Jiangdong Army laid down their weapons and asked to surrender.
When Lu Meng heard the news that Hefei had fallen, he was so out of breath that he vomited blood and passed out.
Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong didn't know what to do, so they had to lead the troops back to Chaohu Water Village to meet Sun Jian.
"It's Zhang Liao again. This man is really my enemy in Jiangdong!"
Sun Jian gritted his teeth angrily when Wu Meng came back to report the situation. If Zhang Liao hadn't succeeded in attacking Hefei, why would his army have been defeated before a battle? Now Zhang Liao has taken Hefei as a transit point. From now on, he wants to go to the Northern Expedition Liu Xie, it will be very difficult.
"Retreat to Chaohu Lake!"
It's not that Sun Jian didn't want to take advantage of Zhang Liao's lack of troops to take Hefei back, but at this moment, he saw a figure flickering in the distance, and a big flag with the word Xu gradually became clearer. Not surprisingly, it was Yue Fei who had followed them for several days He led the army to arrive.
