There was a loud drum sound outside Xiazhi City, and five thousand troops rushed out of the city. Countless torches shone the city like daytime, and shouting to kill the sky. Wei Yan took the lead and led the army out of the city gate. A exploring Jiangdong rushed to report to Zhou Yu...

At this time, the Jiangdong Army had surrounded Lu Jin's army from all directions. The drums sounded like thunder, and countless arrows were shot at the Jiangxia soldiers in the encirclement. The Jiangxia army gathered into a square formation and raised its shields to resist the arrows shot from all directions. In just a quarter of an hour, nearly four of a thousand Jiangxia soldiers had been killed in battle, and even the chief general Lu Jin was injured.

The Jiangdong Army was not in a hurry to wipe out the other side, but created momentum to attract rescue from the city. This is a typical strategy of besieging the city and fighting aid. Zhou Yu was not interested in these thousands of Jiangxia troops. He was waiting for reinforcements in the city to come.

At this time, a cavalry provocate rushed to report: "Report to the guardian army, Jiangxia reinforcements have come out, about four or five thousand, and it is Wei Yan, the general."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed, and he immediately said to Ding Feng: "I will leave a thousand troops for you, and together with your five subordinates, I will annihilate the Jiangxia army in front of me on the spot."

Ding Feng bowed to receive the order immediately, "Abide by the order"

Zhou Yu immediately divided a thousand troops to Ding Feng, and he led more than 4,000 people to turn around and run towards the county town. He would attack Wei Yan's army head-on.

The arrow gradually disappeared, and the Jiangdong Army launched an attack like a wolf or a tiger. Although the Jiangdong Army's offensive suddenly tightened, Lu Jin still felt the pressure was relieved. There was no attack from the Jiangdong Army on the west and north and south sides, which made Lu Jin discover the opportunity. He immediately shouted: "Brothers, retreat south."

The remaining six soldiers turned around and ran to the south and desperately ran away. Ding Feng was anxious and shouted, "Catch up and wipe out the enemy."

The Jiangdong Army chased closely behind and chased for seven or eight miles in one breath. At this moment, dense arrows suddenly shot out from the woods to the east. The Jiangdong Army was caught off guard and dozens of people were shot. There were loud drums in the woods, and there were shouts of killing. I saw figures shaking in the woods, and I don’t know how many troops were fighting out of chaos.

The Jiangdong army was in chaos, and Ding Feng was so shocked that he turned around and fled. The Jiangdong army, who was pursuing excitedly, turned to retreat in panic. It was not until the Jiangdong army fled far away that more than a person ran out of the woods.

They were the garrisons of the oil wells that were attacked by the Jiangdong Army. They were called Sun Zhi, the military marquis. He gathered more than one brother to withdraw the lower pheasant. When they happened to encounter Lu Jin's defeat, Sun Zhi disguised himself as an ambush and rescued Lu Jin and several others.

Sun Zhi stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to Lu Jin and said, "I am guilty of losing my job to the oil well."

Lu Jin was shot with an arrow on his shoulder, and the soldier was bandaging him. He nodded and said, "You saved us at the critical moment. I will report to General Wei, and you will be punished for your merits."

Sun Zhi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you General Lu. In addition, Bei Zhi suggested taking back the oil well while the chaos."

Lu Jin shook his head, "We have fallen into the trap of Jiangdong. Don't act rashly anymore and wait for General Wei's orders."

"Abide by the order"

Lu Jin ordered a soldier to deliver a letter to Wei Yan. He immediately rectified the soldiers and led his troops to leave the official road and went up the mountain to another military fort to live.

...........

Zhou Yu led the army to run five or six miles and found something wrong. The Jiangxia defenders only shouted and beat drums several miles away from the city. The momentum was very loud, but they did not continue to march. Zhou Yu immediately realized that he had been trapped by the enemy's plan to siege Wei to save Zhao. He was furious and urgently ordered a tooth general beside him, "Start the headquarters to reinforce General Ding, be sure to wipe out the enemy's troops, and do not let them escape."

Liu Jing was puzzled. He had not received any news from Wei Yan at this time. At this time, the lookout soldiers on the mast shouted: "The fleet ahead turned around and fled."

Sure enough, the fleet turned around and headed south. Liu Jing became a little worried about the situation in Xiazhi County. Jia Xu smiled and said, "If something happens in Xiazhi County, General Wei will definitely send a pigeon letter to notify us. We set off at noon yesterday, or there is no abnormality. If there is an abnormality, it must have happened last night, so we did not get any news."

Liu Jing nodded. Jia Xu was right in his analysis. It should be that something happened in Xiazhi County last night. Suddenly, the beacon towers at the distant river estuary ignited, and it turned out to be a pillar of beacon smoke, which means something happened in Xiazhi County.

The big ship was whispering, and Jia Xu frowned and said, "Maybe the beacon is trying to tell us that the beacon on the land has been lit."

Without the Jiangdong Army attacking from the water, there must be a situation on the land side. Liu Jing immediately became worried and turned around and told Li Jun: "You can lead thousands of troops and warships to Xiazhi County, be careful not to burn the ship by the enemy with turbulence."

"Abide by the orders of low duties"

Li Jun got off the big ship and led a medium-sized clutch to leave the fleet and headed towards Xiazhi County. Liu Jing immediately ordered, "Don't take care of Xiazhi County anymore, the fleet headed towards Chaisang at full speed."

.........

Sun Quan finally got news from Cheng Pu. Lu Meng's fleet returned and told him a shocking bad news. Cheng Pu's army was ambushed by Jiangxia in the Wanshui River, tens of thousands of troops were defeated and the entire army was wiped out. Cheng Pu only led a few thousand remaining troops to the east and fled.

This news made Sun Quan not say a word for a quarter of an hour. He then locked himself in the room, no one saw him. The news spread like wildfire and soon spread throughout the city of Chaisang. The whole of Chaisang was talking about the matter, and all kinds of news were spreading wildly.

There are reports that the Jiangxia army continued to march eastward, and it was already across the river from the empty Jingkou City; there are also reports that the Jiangxia army had crossed the river in Wuhu and rushed to the Eastern Wu City along Lishui;

There is also news that Cao Cao raised an army of 100,000 and marched south from Hefei to attack Jiangdong in a large-scale attack.

Various news spread in Chaisang City, people were panic and the morale of the army began to shake.

Outside the gate of the courtyard where Sun Quan lived, dozens of military officials gathered. Everyone looked very anxious. Wu Hou locked himself in the house for a whole day. At this critical moment, he avoided it, which made everyone very anxious.

At this time, Zhang Zhao came out of the courtyard, and everyone rushed up and asked in a lingering manner: "What does Wu Hou say?"

Zhang Zhao sighed and said depressedly: "Mr. Wu still refuses to see me. No matter what I say, he has no sound at all."

Everyone looked at each other and talked loudly. Huang Gai quickly pulled Zhang Zhao aside and whispered: "The news in the city is very fierce, and the morale of the army is a little shaken. Marquis Wu must come forward to appease the morale of the army."

Zhang Zhao frowned and said, "Lu Ming assured me again that he has ordered his subordinates who are aware of the information to not disclose any news. How could the news be spread? Could it be that there is a detective from Jiang Xia in the city?"

Huang Gai was not concerned about this, but that Wu Hou must show up, and must appease the morale of the army. If the army is responsible for deserters, it will be troublesome. He hurriedly said: "Would you like to let go first if you have any probes, and the military advisor will persuade Wu Hou, and the army will be in chaos."

Zhang Zhao was also in a difficult situation. He knew that Sun Quan must be deeply blamed by him, so he ignored him. If he wanted to persuade him, he had to let others persuade him. Finally, Zhou Yu persuaded him, so that there would be news. At this time, the guard said loudly: "General Xu is here."
