Chapter 87: Cao Wei's Counterattack (6)

The Wei cavalry by the river naturally had the upper hand in the decisive battle between the Jiangdong Navy. The Wu State's great governor Lu Kai was just a Confucian general. He could not go to the battlefield with all his skills. He could only rely on the protection of the Wu State's generals to avoid being hurt. Landing in to fight with the Wei army was a risky move, but he had to go ashore to fight the Wei people.

This granary stockpiled millions of food and wages, which was a distribution center for supplying supplies to the Wu army of Jiangbei and even the Jiangxia generation. This place was captured by the Wei State, which was equivalent to cutting off the Wu army's food, and the Wu army on half of the front would be in a crisis of food shortage.

The last time he accidentally fell into a traitor and defeated the army, Lu Kai was still blaming himself. Now seeing the Wei army so sharp, he now leads the elite Lu family to the dock and fights with the Wei cavalry! Even if he dies in battle, he must protect the food and supplies to the greatest extent. These supplies carry the hope of the four generations of Jiangdong fighting for dominance, and must not be destroyed in his own hands!

Lu Kai is completely willing to do his best!

The main general personally charged forward to deal with the powerful enemy, and all the navy troops followed forward and fought desperately. Unfortunately, the Wei cavalry was sharp, and the navy hurriedly landed. Before he could stand firm, the general Zeng Lie of Wei had already rushed over with his iron cavalry!

The fighting here was fierce, but it was not smooth on the other side of the Wei cavalry to rob food and supplies. The Wu army, which was guarding the granary, relied on favorable terrain and fortifications to block the Wei cavalry. The Wu people had pitifully few troops. Putting aside the more than 1,000 people who were robbing money and grain back and forth, only more than 600 people could kill and hurt the Wei army.

This firepower was a drizzle for the two thousand Wei cavalry, but after the long-range shooting of the Jiangdong Navy, the situation changed. The arrow shooting in both directions left the Wei cavalry with nowhere to hide. Between the granary and the Wei cavalry, the Wu army of the water and land teamed up to weave an arrow net. The Wei cavalry suffered heavy losses in succession of conflicts. Zeng Lie, who had the advantage in the distance, saw this and divided more than two thousand cavalry to help.

The pressure of the Wu army suddenly increased and supported it hard. Lu Kai had already left an order. If the troops on the shore were exhausted, they could burn the remaining grain, and then set sail to pick up Zhu Yi and his troops, and put state affairs first. Lu Kai still spared no effort to defend himself at such a high position. Although the Wu army soldiers fought hard, they tried their best to support it.

At this moment, Zhu Yi brought the Wu army back to the aid, and 20,000 Wu soldiers quickly entered the battlefield. When Wei general Zeng Lie saw the Wu army back to the aid, he was also uneasy and hurriedly took the cavalry away. The Wu army had just experienced a hard battle, how could infantry chase the cavalry? After a while, the Wei cavalry had retreated completely, and the remaining corpses were flowing into a river of blood.

Lu Kai and Zhu Yi, the two generals of the Eastern Wu, jumped off the horse, looking at each other covered in blood stains and scars, holding each other tightly, unable to speak. The two of them had no time to contact each other and were suddenly rushed over by the Wei army, so they had to fight to the death. If they had not had the awareness of dying in their hearts, the Wu army would have been defeated at this time.

Qian Jia took Wang Ji and retreated for more than 30 miles away in one breath before stopping. After a while, Tang Bin and the Wei army retreated one after another. After the doctors in the army made a simple bandage for Wang Ji, the veteran Wang Ji could not see Tian Zhang who had broken the back.

"Why is Tian Fenwei not here?" Wang Ji had not spoken for a long time, but his mouth trembled a little.

"General Tian broke the queen and fought to the death, and was killed by Zhu Yi!" The soldier general who was informed said with a look of grief and anger. Qian Jia and general Wei sighed helplessly. In that environment, the result was actually self-evident. Tian Zhang died so early in his prime.

"...what...ah...I'm incompetent!" Wang Ji was in his seventies, and Wang Chong didn't cry even when he died in battle. Instead, Tian Zhang shed two lines of tears in order to protect himself.

"The general is bound to be killed in battle, and the prince is mourning." Qian Jia, Tang Bin and others persuaded one after another.

Wang Ji said with tears on his face, "This son is known for his tricks, but he is not burdened by me, how can he die? I am incompetent and exhausted!" At this point, Wang Ji couldn't help crying loudly.

The generals also knew why Wang Ji was so sad. In the Battle of Shouchun, thousands of people in Tian Zhang were ambushed by tens of thousands of Wu soldiers, and they could escape. Now, in order to protect Wang Ji, they had to abandon their usual style and fight against the Wu people. What is this not a death sentence?

Qian Jia advised: "If you can keep the prince safe, I believe General Tian passed away with a smile. Prince should take care of his health." All the generals agreed with this when they heard this. If they were still willing to trade their lives for Wang Ji's safety.

After a while, Wang Ji finally stopped grief and said, "Has the Wu people ever chased after me?"

Tang Bin immediately replied: "The Wu army was so cunning that they did not chase after them, but went back to the camp. I think General Zeng must be prepared and should ensure nothing is wrong."

"Hmph, how many people are there to be available?" Wang Ji returned to his previous majestic expression.

"There are more than 30,000 troops in each unit, and 5,000 elite soldiers hiding here can also be used." Tang Bin replied respectfully.

"I passed on the orders of Lao I to make various troops beat drums and march, and followed Zeng Lie's cavalry back the same route, dragging the Wu army!" Wang Ji was injured in both hands, and there were not a few teeth left in his mouth, but he was extremely motivated. Even the young and strong generals sighed that they were inferior.

The Wei army had already ambushed a 5,000 elite soldiers here, and now they were led by these 5,000 elite soldiers. Thirty thousand Wei soldiers behind them were clamoring and advancing to the Wu camp again! The army passed the previous battlefield and left three or four thousand seriously injured Wei soldiers to clean the battlefield, and the remaining troops continued to advance.

Not far away, Zeng Lie came to the front with more than 5,000 cavalrymen. After receiving Wang Ji's order, Zeng Lie immediately turned around and rushed to Wu camp. Unexpectedly, after driving away the Wei cavalry, the Wu army did not stop, but emptyed the granary, and the army boarded the boat and gave up the land camp. Zeng Lie rushed to the air, but did not dare to get too close to the Jiangdong ship, so he had to return to report to Wang Ji.

"Lu Kai, Zhu Yi knows the situation. Humph! He ordered the three armies to form a formation along the coast!" Seeing that the Wu army avoided the war, Wang Ji commanded the army to set up a formation on the river bank and show off his power.

When the warships in Jiangdong saw the Wei people returning, they seemed to be out of the way. Lu Kai and Zhu Yi ordered people to hang the ship in the river, and they also intended to watch the reality of the Wei army.

Five thousand elite troops of the Wei army were lined up in front of the formation, shouting loudly, shaking flags and shouting. Wang Ji and his generals were in the queue, looking at hundreds of warships of all sizes on the river, and couldn't help but admire. The Jiangdong Navy was so majestic that it was far superior to the Wei navy.

"Lu Jingfeng dares to fight with me!" After Wang Ji was injured, he not only kept his fighting spirit, but his voice was heard from afar, and he was full of energy.

Lu Kai and Zhu Yi looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Then Lu Kai stood up and went to the side of the ship and said, "This battle has just begun, why did Wang Boyu dare not fight?"

When Wei general heard this, he secretly praised Lu Kai for his response. Wang basically wanted to deceive the Wu army and dare not land in a battle, so he made a statement to attack the other party's morale. The other party did not inspire the Wei army's water battle, but said that the battle was not over yet, and his fighting spirit and fighting spirit were no less than Wang Ji.

After hearing this, Wang Ji nodded slightly and stopped answering, but instead ordered the three armies to clamor. The Wei army was clamoring by the river, and the Wu army also created momentum on the ship. The two sides could not intersect with each other, but they were more excited when they face to face. After a while, the warships in Jiangdong slowly left, and the Wei army was also ready to retreat.

There were only Lu Kai and Zhu Yi in the cabin. Zhu Yi first said: "Have Jingfeng ever seen the new force of the Wei people?"

Lu Kai nodded, sat down cross-legged and said, "Fortunately Ji Wen did not chase him, otherwise he would have been ambushed."

Zhu Yi said with hatred: "Old Wang Ji is unfathomable. This time, you and I will be careful to avoid defeat from the top. It is really uneasy if this person is not eliminated."

"Yes, Lu Kai sacrificed his life to entangle the Wei people in Jiangbei!" Lu Kai finished speaking, picked up a cup of hot tea and drank it all.

Zhu Yi said strangely: "Hang it? Could it be that Jingfeng has plans?"

Lu Kai smiled knowingly, took out a map from his arms, and planned future military operations in the cabin.

Wang Ji led the troops to camp and prepare for rest. The soldiers who cleaned the battlefield behind him found the corpse of the senior general who died in the Wei army. Wang Ji hurried to look at it, checked several corpses in succession, and finally pounced on one corpse and cried bitterly. The generals were unknown and came forward to watch it. Finally, they pulled Wang Ji away, but they saw that this was Tian Zhang's corpse!
