Chapter 1266
PS: Chapter Anti-theft, Correction tomorrow morning…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The Wu army fought naked, but was not affected by the cold weather. Instead, they were full of energy and agile movements. In contrast, the Wei army seemed much clumsy and slow and stiff. In this way, the advantages and disadvantages were judged. In the battle, the Wei army was no match for the Wu army at all, and they retreated step by step and failed to form a army.
Even Han Zong, the vanguard of the Wei army, was killed by Ding Feng, so the Wei army under the dike was even more defeated and fled to the dike one after another. The situation on the entire battlefield became uncontrollable.
This result was probably beyond the expectations of everyone in the Wei army. Zhuge Dan would never believe that the war situation could evolve into this way, but the current situation was no longer something he could do simply. Only by retreating and avoiding the Wu army's edge could he reorganize the team and fight with the Wu army.
Zhuge Dan said to Sima Zhao: "Sima Supervisor, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. It is better to return to Hefei New City first and then make a decision."
Sima Zhao was a little confused. He was a little confused in this battle and was defeated for no reason. They didn't agree with it before and laughed at the Wu army for being shirtless, but they didn't expect that in this heavy snowy day, the shirtless actually defeated the ones in the clothes. I'm afraid Sima Zhao hasn't figured out the reason yet.
If you can win a battle with your shirtlessness, what's the point of forming an army to build armor? Just make the army naked like a savage.
Such a conclusion seems a bit unreasonable, but all of this was witnessed by Sima Zhao and he could not believe it.
Sima Zhao was full of confidence in this expedition to the Wu Kingdom. According to the information sent back from Jiangdong, after Sun Quan's death, the power of Wu Kingdom appeared in a vacuum. Sun Liang, who was only ten years old, ascended the throne as emperor. A little kid, no matter whether he was smart or not, could not preside over the government. According to Sun Quan's entrusted his orphan at the end of his life, the military and political power of Wu Kingdom fell into the hands of Zhuge Ke, the pro-war faction.
The Zhuge family was not a wealthy family in Eastern Wu, and Sun Quan did not want to hand over power to the Jiangdong family before his death, so he finally chose Zhuge Ke. Regardless of whether Sun Quan's choice was correct or not, the Wu government would eventually face a drastic change. If Wei could only seize this opportunity, pacifying Jiangdong in one fell swoop would definitely be no longer a dream.
Sima Shi urgently needed a victory to consolidate his rule, and Sima Zhao also hoped to use a victory to prove his ability. Zhuge Dan and Wang Chang and other generals hoped to successfully attack Wu and take their careers further.
It is precisely because of so many demands in all aspects that the battle against Wu was finally promoted. However, what Sima Zhao did not expect was that since he went to the expedition, he had encountered an extremely rare attack on the wind and snow, which hindered the Wei army's actions.
The right time and place did not occupy the Wei army, but instead occupied the Wu army. It was originally thought that such bad weather was affected by both sides, but it was discovered that there was nothing wrong with the Wu army, but instead, it was lively. It took advantage of this disaster-level weather to launch a surprise attack on the Wei army, defeating the Wei army.
Not only Ding Feng's army, but also the other members of the Wu army, led by Tang Zi, Lu Ju and Liu Zan, also began to attack the Wei army. Although the other members were not as fierce as Ding Feng's journey and were in a battle, the Wu army was in a strong momentum and had a very fierce offensive. From the flanks to cooperate with Ding Feng's front attack, the Wei army retreated step by step and could not be defeated.
That's why Zhuge Dan decisively ordered a retreat to minimize the losses as much as possible. As for counterattack, Zhuge Dan probably didn't have any idea. After all, such bad weather has a huge impact on the Wei army.
If this influence is effective for both sides, Zhuge Dan doesn't have to be anxious and wait for the snow to stop before launching a counterattack.
But what we see now is the opposite. In this strong wind and snow, the Wu army's combat power has not decreased, but can instead use such wind and snow to launch an unexpected attack. There is no way to fight again in this battle.
Not only did Han Zong, sent by Zhuge Dan, die in a bad life, but also another pioneer, the prefect of Le'an, Huan Jia, also died in the chaos, and the entire Wei army stationed under the dike was defeated.
This long embankment is not too high, and it was not built vertically when it was built, but was built into a relatively steep slope. In fact, only this ladder-shaped embankment with a lower bottom is wider than the upper bottom can have the ability to defend against floods and avoid the risk of collapse of the embankment when the flood comes.
But if you consider the defensive function, the shape of the embankment is undoubtedly a failure, because the attacking side can completely attack the embankment along the slope of the embankment.
Although the Wei army was stationed on the embankment, there were no fortifications on the embankment. Moreover, such a long steep slope was difficult to withstand the Wu army's offensive. The Wei army, who escaped from the embankment, had already broken the defense line on the embankment.
Zhuge Dan has experienced many battles and is experienced. He knows very well that this time is not the time when he stands out to show his heroes. The Wei army is defeated like a mountain. Even if he is the main general, he cannot prevent the Wei army from losing. Since the defeat is decided, it is better to leave early than to leave late.
What's more, Zhuge Dan has to consider not only his own safety, but also Sima Zhao's safety. Sima Zhao has a noble status. If he makes any mistakes, Zhuge Dan really can't explain it to Sima Shi.
If a defeat is not necessarily a disaster, the Wei army may not be damaged, but if Sima Zhao is broken, Zhuge Dan will probably be unable to sit still.
So as soon as he saw that the situation was unfavorable, Zhuge Dan quickly ordered a retreat and ordered his personal soldiers to escort Sima Zhao first, and at all costs, he also wanted to ensure Sima Zhao's safety.
Zhuge Dan himself followed him, protecting Sima Zhao's safety while retreating slowly, preparing to retreat to Hefei along the four floating bridges behind the embankment.
But the current floating bridge has endured the weight it shouldn't have endured. Countless Wei soldiers rushed onto the floating bridge. Sima Zhao was a little scared to see such a large weight, and he didn't know if these floating bridges would break?
Unlike ordinary advances, the Wei army was defeated at this moment, and the soldiers who fled here did not mean that they were safe. They had to pass the pontoon bridge and reach the south shore of Chaohu Lake so that they could escape the possibility of birth.
But now, the Wei army was defeated and they all rushed onto the floating bridge. The floating bridge was really overwhelmed.
