Chapter 172: Yuzhang deadlock

When Gao Siji led 10,000 troops to the valley entrance, thousands of Wu troops led by Mali were still blocking the valley entrance. Gao Siji had no time to think about it and directly led the troops to kill him. The Wu army was caught off guard and was defeated. In desperation, Mali had to retreat all the way into the valley. After Gao Siji killed the Wu army, he took the opportunity to enter the valley to find Yang Yanzhao.

"Yang Yanzhao, you have no way out. You won't surrender quickly. When will you wait?" Lu Feng shouted loudly to Deng Jun outside the Deng Jun army formation.

Although the Wu army besieged Deng's army for only half a day, the initial ambush caused heavy losses to the Deng army. Most of the survived were more or less injured. After the fierce battle, even Zhang Fei was injured.

Now the sun is slowly setting and it is about to get dark. If there are no reinforcements, Yang Yanzhao will really have to explain it here.

"Kill!" At this time, a shout of killing came from afar. Lu Feng frowned. The main force of the Wu army was here. It is very likely that Deng Jun was here. Thinking of this, Lu Feng cursed inwardly: "Damn it, why did you come so quickly? Give me some time to capture Yang Yanzhao alive."

Unable to let Lu Feng think too much, Marley had already come to Lu Feng and said, "General Lu, Deng's army has already rushed in, and the leader is the general of Deng's army Gao Siji."

"Gao Siji? Why isn't it Zhou Yu?" Lu Feng was very surprised when he heard that Gao Siji was not Zhou Yu. Logically speaking, Yang Yanzhao was surrounded, so the deputy general who came to save him should be Zhou Yu. Now Gao Siji is here, so where did Zhou Yu go?

Lu Feng suddenly thought of an ominous premonition and shouted: "I've been killed. Zhou Yu must have attacked Peng Ze. Hurry up, gather troops and retreat quickly."

Zhou Yu did not come to save Yang Yanzhao, and it was very likely that he would go to attack Peng Ze. Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel a chill. The main force of the Wu army was here, and Peng Ze had only one or two thousand people to guard it, so he would definitely not be able to stop Zhou Yu. So what Lu Feng had to do now is to take the main force of the Wu army back to Peng Ze. Anyway, tens of thousands of Deng troops have been wiped out, and the harvest has been great, so there is no need to continue to entangle.

Soon, the Wu army evacuated the valley, and Gao Siji also came to Yang Yanzhao's place.

When Zhang Fei saw Gao Siji coming, he was overjoyed and said, "Old Gao, where is this place."

Gao Siji came to Zhang Fei and saw Zhang Fei's wounds all over his body, and said carelessly: "Old Zhang, are you okay? Where is General Yang?"

Zhang Fei smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine, General Yang is inside, come with me."

Zhang Fei took Gao Siji in and came to Yang Yanzhao. At this time, Yang Yanzhao was still guarding Wang Ce's body, feeling sad.

Zhang Fei walked in and said, "General, Lao Gao is here, we are fine."

"The last general Gao Siji has met the general." Gao Siji walked to Yang Yanzhao to salute, and suddenly saw Wang Ce lying motionless on the ground. He had an ominous premonition in his heart and asked, "General, General Wang, he?"

Yang Yanzhao said listlessly: "General Wang was injured by Wu Jun's escape arrow in order to save me, and his injuries were severely damaged."

"Ah!" Gao Siji was suddenly sad. Although Wang Ce was a surrendered general of the Han army, he has been diligent since joining the Deng army and has a good relationship with his colleagues in the army. Now he has died in battle, Gao Siji is also very sad. However, now is not the time to be sad. It is about to get up, so it is better to retreat quickly.

So Gao Si continued, "General, now is not the time to be sad, so let's go back first."

Yang Yanzhao then came to his senses and asked Gao Siji: "General Gao, how do you know that this general was ambushed?"

It was surrounded by the Wu army, how did Gao Siji know that he was surrounded?

Gao Siji said: "General, it was analyzed by General Zhou." Then Gao Siji said Zhou Yu's speculation.

Yang Yanzhao suddenly realized that it was Zhou Yu, so he said, "Thanks to Governor Zhou, by the way, General Gao, why are you here? What about Governor Zhou?" Yang Yanzhao first thanked Zhou Yu, but did not see Zhou Yu, so he asked.

Gao Sixing said: "It's like this. Governor Zhou was afraid that the last general would not be able to rescue the general, so he took the navy to attack Pengze, hoping to use this to force the Wu army to retreat."

"Governor Zhou is really a wise man. Thanks to him, otherwise I would have to explain it here." Yang Yanzhao sighed.

So Yang Yanzhao carried Wang Ce's body on his back and followed Gao Siji and the others away. The corpses here could only be kept for tomorrow to clean up.

When Yang Yanzhao and the others returned to the camp, it was already dark. Zhou Yu also came back. It turned out that when Zhou Yu led the navy to Pengze, the Pengze defenders quickly sent people to ask Lu Feng for help. Zhou Yu was carrying a navy. The navy was not good at siege. In addition, he came in a hurry and did not bring any siege equipment. If he built it on the spot, he didn't know when it would be, so he did not choose to attack the city directly. He just stayed under Pengze City for a while. Later, Zhou Yu saw that it was getting late and estimated that Gao Siji should rescue Yang Yanzhao at this time. If he stayed here, there would be too many variables, so he retreated.

After seeing Zhou Yu, Yang Yanzhao was filled with emotion and took Zhou Yu's hand and said, "Governor Zhou, thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, I, Yang Yanzhao, wouldn't have come back."

"The general is very serious, but this time our army suffered heavy losses and is no longer able to fight again. Only with the current plan, it is better to occupy Chaisang as a stronghold first and then ask for help from the king." Zhou Yu said.

Speaking of this, Yang Yanzhao felt guilty again and said, "Alas, it's all my fault. I'm so tired that I've died on the battlefield. I will write to the king and bear the blame for it."

"The general does not need to blame himself. Victory and defeat are common military affairs. Governor Zhou is right. The most important thing now is to occupy Chaisang first and establish an invincible place first." Yao Guangxiaodao.

Yang Yanzhao nodded and entered Chaisang City that night. The next day, Yang Yanzhao sent people to the valley to clean up the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle, and sent people to Wancheng for help, and at the same time took Wang Ce's body back to Jiangxia.

Deng's army was unable to attack, Wu's army barely defended, and the two sides were in a stalemate in Yuzhang.

Pengzecheng, Lu Feng and Lu Meng stood at the top of the city, looking at Pengze Lake outside, Lu Feng said: "Military advisor, what are the movements of Deng's army now?"

Lu Meng said: "Return to General, the Deng army now occupy the city of Chaisang, but this time the Deng army suffered heavy losses. With the current strength of the Deng army, they are no longer able to fight again. I believe there will be no action in the short term." Lu Feng defeated the Deng army in the valley, which is a god in one battle. Now, before Zhou Kai woke up, Lu Feng has firmly controlled the army with his own abilities.

Lu Feng nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now the Wu army's troops can barely defend the city. If Deng State sieges a large scale, Peng Ze really can't say whether he can defend it. He has already written to the King of Wu to request reinforcements, hoping that Deng's army will not make any big moves before the reinforcements arrive.

"By the way, how is the Grand Governor's condition? Did the military doctor say when will the Grand Governor wake up?" Lu Feng cared about Zhou Kai's body again. Zhou Kai had been unconscious for several days and had no trace of awakening.

Lu Meng shook his head and said, "The military doctor has examined it. The Grand Governor is still very weak. It is still an unknown number when he can wake up." Thinking of Zhou Kai, Lu Meng sighed. It is really sad that the Grand Governor of Wu was lying in bed and unconscious.
