The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 370 Retreating to Pei County

Today's Huang Zhong is in his prime, but in his fifties, he is proficient in swordsmanship and tyrannical in combat power, which is still better than back then, and he is only half a chip behind Zhao Yun. If two people want to decide the winner, there will be no more than two hundred round, it is difficult to do.

It's just that Zhao Yun has already done his best for the more than [-] troops behind him. He changed his usual dense style, and the gentian silver gun in his hand was extremely fast. He caught Huang Zhong off guard and retreated again and again. Opened a bloody road and retreated into the distance.

Although Zhao Yun led the main force to rush out, Guan Yu and Gan Ning on both sides led the army to catch up. They continued to pursue from the two wings, and Huang Zhong's army chased after him. Liu Bei was killed. Order, Zhao Yun must be captured alive.

Beginning in the morning, the two sides fought until dusk. Zhao Yun led the defeated army to retreat for forty miles in one breath, but was unable to shake off Liu Bei's army. In the end, they fell into the siege of Liu Bei's army again.

At the critical moment, shouts of killing rang out in the distance. Liu Bei's army on the opposite side was in chaos. A force came from behind and broke through Liu Bei's siege. The generals leading it were none other than Cheng Pu and Huang Gai!
The two led [-] elites to fight all the way, rescued Zhao Yun and the army behind him, and repelled Liu Bei's army in one fell swoop.

Zhou Yu's actions were really too fast. He set a trap for Wei Yan and let Wei Yan jump in. Wei Yan had to use all his strength to besiege Dongyang County. As a result, Huang Gai was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he tried his best to defend Dongyang County. The two sides fought for three days and three nights.

Although the troops under Huang Gai's command suffered heavy casualties, the morale of Wei Yan's army was almost wiped out after all. One was a tired army who had been fighting continuously. Wei Yan made a wrong move and was flanked by others.

As a result, when they reached the Yangtze River ferry, Zhou Yu's army was still hot on their heels, and forcefully drove Wei Yan back to the other side.

In the first battle, a complete victory was achieved. Wei Yan lost his troops and lost his generals. There were more than 2 troops, but only 3000 came back to the south bank. Zhou Yu captured [-] or [-] soldiers alone!

Zhou Yu had just defeated Wei Yan, and only a few days later, Zhao Yun's letter asking for help was in Zhou Yu's hands.

Zhou Yu immediately became anxious and rushed to help without delay!
Chen Deng led a force to stay at the ferry, Zhou Yu led six or seven thousand elites, and went straight to Huainan County. Unfortunately, it was still a step too late, and Zhao Yun had already chosen to break through before entering the scope of Huainan County.

The two armies merged together, and Zhao Yun reorganized his troops. There are only more than 2 left in the 1-odd army, and more than half of them were killed or injured.

"Gong Jin, you have failed to keep Huainan County, and suffered such a disastrous defeat, you really failed your trust..."

Zhao Yun said in shame.

Zhou Yu's face sank like water, and Zhao Yun couldn't be blamed for this incident. After all, even if he himself sits here, he can't turn the tide of the battle. Failure is only a matter of time. If it wasn't for Mi Fang's sudden rebellion, Zhao Yun would not have lost so quickly.

"Don't say it!"

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Zilong, this disastrous defeat is due to my underestimation of the enemy. Naturally, I will plead guilty to the lord and leave nothing to do with you. Next, we will regroup and take back Huainan County!"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Easier said than done? Now Liu Bei has 8 troops, Zhang Fei and Wenpin have 2 troops, and the total strength exceeds [-]. They all have the bravery of a million men; Wenpin Ganning is not easy to deal with, not to mention that our army has suffered a disastrous defeat, and the total number of remnants and defeated generals is less than [-]. Even at the peak of Xuzhou's army, it is difficult to match such a powerful army strength..."

How could Zhou Yu not know about Zhao Yun's worries?The army is newly defeated and morale is low. How can the [-] remnants face Liu Bei's [-] army?Even Zhou Yu, who is conceited and unparalleled in wisdom, is scratching his head now. Not only has Huainan County been occupied by others, but now even the neighboring Peijun and Xiapi counties will be difficult to keep. Once defeated again, the entire Xuzhou All are in danger of falling.

"Gongjin, ask the lord for help. With Xuzhou's current strength, it is really impossible to withstand Liu Bei's army. If Xuzhou is lost, it will be difficult to enter Jiangnan in the future..."

Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

Zhou Yu's face was serious, he nodded heavily, and replied: "It is certain to ask for help, but now the lord is in a fierce battle with Cao Cao, and if we withdraw at this time, I am afraid that all previous efforts will be wasted. Immediately send a letter to Shanyang and order Taishi Ci Lead [-] troops under your command, immediately go south to Xuzhou, and join us, we will temporarily retreat, retreat to Peijun, and protect Xuzhou behind us!"

Zhao Yun was startled, and said in a deep voice: "Gongjin, we retreat to Peijun, what about Xiapi? Xuzhou is in Xiapi, not Peijun!"

Zhou Yu replied: "You need to know the purpose of Liu Bei's sending troops this time! First, Liu Bei sent troops just now at the request of Cao Cao. If he takes Peijun, he will be connected with Qiaojun. At that time, Liu Bei's army will go east Going forward can attack Xiapi, and going west can attack Yue Fei's back. Even if the lord abandons Xuzhou, it becomes impossible to deal with Cao Cao first.

Zhao Yun nodded slowly, and sighed: "It's just that we will retreat the army, Pei County, then Xuzhou is really dangerous. Only Mr. Gongda is in Xuzhou, how can we stop Liu Bei's attack?"

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Isn't there still Ziyi? From Langya in Shanyang to Xuzhou, it is only three hundred miles away, and from here to Xuzhou, it is also three to four hundred miles away. Ziyi's full strength march is enough for Liu Bei's troops to come to Xuzhou Before arriving in Xuzhou, Gongda and Ziyi joined forces to keep Xuzhou, within the first two or three months, Xuzhou city will be worry-free!"

After discussing with Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun have decided to lead [-] troops and retreat all the way to Peijun, leaving the southern part of Peijun to Liu Bei. , If you can't hold on for five days, you will collapse. Twenty thousand defeated soldiers, how can you be Liu Bei's opponent like a tiger and a wolf?
Liu Bei swallowed Huainan County in one go, and the army did not stop at all, and went straight to Peijun. As Zhou Yu said, taking Peijun, threatening Yue Fei in the west, and attacking the entire Xuzhou in the east is definitely a strategic point of the military strategist. Land, no matter what, Pei County must be taken!

Liu Bei is constantly attacking, how can the news be hidden from Yue Fei and Liu Xiao in the Central Plains?The news had already reached Liu Xiao's ears!
