Chapter 171

: Yang Yanzhao's burial

On February 22, the 14th year of Qianyuan, Lu Feng led the remnants of the Wu army to evacuate from Caisang City and retreated towards Pengze. Deng's commander Yang Yanzhao personally led a 40,000 army to pursue him.

Originally, the riverside was a little distance from Chaisang City, and after Lu Feng and others left, Yang Yanzhao began to pursue. It was logically difficult to catch up. However, in order to better attract Yang Yanzhao into the trap, Lu Feng intentionally or unintentionally slowed down the army, so Yang Yanzhao quickly caught up with Ling Rong's troops who were cut off from the Wu army.

"General Lu, General Ling has already fought with Yang Yanzhao, but the situation is not good. Deng's attack is too fierce, General Ling may not be able to delay it for too long." Among the main force of the Wu army, Lu Meng told Lu Feng.

Lu Feng immediately frowned. The Wu army was too weak in land battle, and the difference in strength was too big. If Ling Rong hadn't fought and retreated, he would have been defeated by Deng's army long ago.

"Send someone to send a message to Ling Rong so that he doesn't have to get too entangled with Deng's army and speed up the retreat. At the same time, the entire army will speed up the pace." Lu Feng thought for a while and said.

"Here!" With Lu Feng's order, Wu Jun's speed increased a little more and soon entered the ambushed valley.

One hour after Lu Feng arrived at the valley, the troops led by Ling Rong also came here, but they were a little embarrassed. The Deng army was strong, resulting in less than 5,000 troops left by Ling Rong. Ling Rong, who came to the entrance of the valley, rushed into the valley without even thinking about it.

Yang Yanzhao chased him all the way to the entrance of the valley, and saw Ling Rong entering the valley, so he stopped at the entrance of the valley.

Out of the military literacy as a commander, you must be careful when encountering terrain such as valleys.

"General, no trace of the Wu army was found around. It seems that all the Wu army has entered the valley." Wang Ce personally took people to patrol the surroundings. Because the Wu army was hiding very well, Wang Ce did not find any trace of the Wu army's troops ambushed at the entrance of the valley.

Yang Yanzhao frowned, thinking about whether to enter the valley. If such a terrain enters, it will be easy to be ambushed, but if there is no ambush inside, he would have missed the opportunity to capture Zhou Kai alive. Now he is very confused.

"Send a team of troops into the valley and take a closer look." Yang Yanzhao weighed the matter again and again, but decided to send a small team of troops into the valley first.

Soon, the team that entered the reconnaissance came out and said, "When the general returned, there were no large number of enemy troops in the valley. Instead, there were scattered Wu soldiers fleeing to the other side of the valley. There were messy footprints everywhere in the valley, and the birds on both sides of the valley were obviously screaming."

Yang Yanzhao felt relieved. It seemed that the Wu army was not ambushing, so he ordered: "Send the entire army to enter the valley."

The 40,000 Deng army, led by Yang Yanzhao, entered the valley. The valley road was relatively narrow. If you look down from the air, the 40,000 Deng army was like a long snake.

At this time, Lu Feng was already hiding on the mountain, silently looking at Deng Jun at the foot of the mountain.

"General Lu, Deng's army has all entered the valley." Zhang Tu told Lu Feng.

Lu Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send a command to Mali, Gukou, and order him to block Gukou immediately. He must not let Deng's army leave with one soldier."

"Here!"

Soon, news came from Marley that it had blocked the valley entrance.

Lu Feng nodded and said, "Tell all departments to prepare and launch an attack in a quarter of an hour."

"Here!"

Just as the Wu army on the mountain was waiting for the battle, Yang Yanzhao at the foot of the mountain was unaware of all this and just urged the army to accelerate.

"General, something seems wrong." At this time, Wang Ce said in Yang Yanzhao's ear.

Yang Yanzhao frowned. In fact, he felt something was wrong. The valley was too quiet, so he ordered to slow down and sent a few scouts to explore the way forward.

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and countless huge rocks on the mountain fell down, killing a large area of ​​Deng Jun in an instant.

Seeing this, Yang Yanzhao was shocked and realized that he was ambushed, so he quickly ordered: "Send the order, the back team will change to the front team and break through quickly."

"Chi!Chi!Chi!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Countless bows and arrows shot down from the mountain, accompanied by the screams of Deng's soldiers.

At this time, Yang Yanzhao, Wang Ce, Zhang Fei and others were organizing soldiers to break through, but the valley was narrow, and the Deng army was already in chaos at this time, making it difficult to organize.

"General, the valley entrance has been blocked by the Wu army, and our army will find it difficult to kill out for a while." Zhang Fei said to Yang Yanzhao while sweeping away the bow and arrow falling from the sky.

Yang Yanzhao's face suddenly turned as if he was ashes and observed the terrain everywhere. Suddenly he found a low-lying area not far away, which was relatively flat and could retreat there, form a formation to resist, and wait for rescue.

So he said, "Hurry up, retreat to the low-lying place in front and form a formation to defend."

"General, be careful!" Just as Yang Yanzhao organized the soldiers to retreat, an arrow came from behind and flew straight to Yang Yanzhao's back. Wang Ce, who was beside him, quickly reminded him, but at this time, Yang Yanzhao had no time to react. Seeing that something was wrong, Wang Ce gritted his teeth and threw Yang Yanzhao down.

"General Wang, are you okay?" After Yang Yanzhao escaped the disaster, he quickly stood up and called Wang Ce who was lying on him. However, Wang Ce did not react at this time. Yang Yanzhao was shocked and helped Wang Ce up, but found that there was an arrow on Wang Ce's back, which was the arrow that shot towards Yang Yanzhao.

After Wang Ce was shot, Yang Yanzhao quickly helped Wang Ce up and retreated to the low-lying land. Under Zhang Fei's organization, a defense was built. There were only 40,000 Deng troops, and only more than 10,000 people were left at this time, and the rest died in the valley.

Lu Feng on the mountain formed a formation to defend the Deng army, so he ordered the army to siege. Deng army was already in shock and suddenly was attacked by the Wu army like a storm, and suffered heavy losses for a while. Fortunately, with Zhang Fei, a powerful general, Deng army barely stabilized the situation.

In the Deng army camp, Zhou Yu received 20,000 troops and came here. He was about to put down the people and then took the last 40,000 people over. Suddenly, he learned that Yang Yanzhao was leading troops to pursue the Wu army. Zhou Yu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he sent a large number of scouts to investigate.

About three hours later, the scout came back and said, "Report to the governor of Zhou, we did not find any traces of General Yang's army. However, in a valley thirty miles southeast of Chaisang, there were traces of battle. Thousands of Wu troops guarded the entrance of the valley, and screams came from time to time in the valley. The valley was steep and we dared not enter easily."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he exclaimed: "It's bad. The general must have been ambushed by the Wu army. General Gao, you will immediately lead 10,000 troops to support the general." Zhou Yu had no time to explain why Yang Yanzhao was hiding, so he directly ordered Gao Siji to lead his troops to rescue.

After Gao Sijie left, Zhou Yu thought about it carefully and said, "Military advisor, General Gao doesn't know if he can rescue General Yang, so I plan to lead the navy down the river and head straight to Pengze. If General Gao can't rescue General Yang, he can use this to force the Wu army to retreat. I will trouble the military advisor to stay here."

Yao Guangxiao had a unique look. Through the scout's response just now, Yang Yanzhao was most likely to be in a state of depression, so he said, "Don't worry, Governor Zhou, I'll give it to me here."

Zhou Yu nodded, so he attracted Gan Ning and took more than 10,000 navy onto the warship, went down the river and headed straight for Pengze Lake.

At this time, Yang Yanzhao in the valley was looking at Wang Ce who was lying motionless on the ground with sadness. Wang Ce was shot by a arrow to save Yang Yanzhao, causing the recurrence of his old injury. After all, he couldn't stand it.

"General, the Wu army was defeated by us again, but this is not a solution. We only have less than 10,000 brothers left, and there is no food, so we can't last long." Zhang Fei came to Yang Yanzhao with blood all over his body and said with a little tiredness.

Yang Yanzhao put away his sadness, thought for a while, and said, "It doesn't matter. According to time, Governor Zhou Yu has returned to the camp at this time. With his intelligence, he will definitely find something wrong. I believe someone will come to rescue him soon. As long as we keep it, there will be no problem."
