Chapter 1875 See you next time and decide the outcome
Although Xiaoyaojin is the only way to retreat from the new city, the Wei army specifically intercepted it here. Anyone with some intelligence would not choose to break through here and fall into the trap. Therefore, Lu Kang determined that if the Wu army really wanted to break through, then the only way they could choose was Shiting.
So after Lu Kang sent troops from Chaisang, he went straight to Shiting without a moment of delay.
This prediction is very important. If Sun Chen did not choose Shiting when he retreated, even the Daluo God could not save him.
Lu Kang knew very well that although Sun Feng was a high-level man in power, he was a typical layman when it came to marching and fighting. His highest military position was only a general, and he had never really been on the battlefield. Letting a person who was obsessed with power but was not a military man lead the army to fight was a disaster for the Wu army.
Although Lu Kang was also a novice on the battlefield, under the influence of his father, Lu Kang had already outstanding among his peers. In the last battle in Huainan, Lu Kang had already performed well, only without being excluded by Sun Jun and Sun Jing, and had no chance to stand alone.
If this trip was to save Sun Chen, Lu Kang would not help even if he watched him fall into the fire pit. But if Sun Chen died, the entire Wu army would be destroyed. This would be a devastating blow to the Wu Kingdom. As a general of Wu, Lu Kang naturally did not want to see this result. Therefore, this trip was to save Sun Chen in name, but in fact it was to save the Wu Kingdom's danger.
In this sense, the burden on Lu Kang's shoulders is also quite heavy.
In fact, the number of troops led by the Lu Anti-Control was less than 20,000. If this amount of troops was used to fight the powerful Wei army head-on, it would be like hitting the stone with an egg.
To avoid the real and go to the virtual, choose to start with Shiting, where the Wei army has relatively weak defenses, is also the most correct choice made by Lu Kang.
The time for Lu Kang to arrive at Shiting is also the most appropriate. A little earlier, the Wei army cavalry camp has not yet given up on the Shiting defense line. If they want to achieve the goal of rescue, they must forcibly break through the Wei army's defense line.
If it were later, the Wei army had already formed a siege, and the entire Wu army was destroyed and it would not be enough to save it.
Now the time was perfect. Jinqi Camp took the initiative to counterattack Shiting's defensive position. Lu Kang led his army to easily pass through this line of defense and appeared behind Jinqi Camp.
At this moment, the Jinqi Camp was just a force to hold on. They were obviously unable to deal with the Lu Anti-Japanese Army attacking from behind, and soon the Lu Kang broke through the front line. Lu Kang rushed to Sun Jing in one breath.
Sun Feng was already desperate, but he didn't expect that Lu Kang, the savior, would appear. He couldn't help but cry with joy and said gratefully: "Young Festival, you have come so well. You can't repay your life-saving grace. After returning to Beijing, you will definitely be rewarded."
Sun Feng did not expect that at this critical moment, the one who could send troops to rescue him was Lu Kang, who had not had a harmonious relationship before. He was like he had caught a life-saving straw in the vast ocean, and quickly made a good reply to Lu Kang, for fear that Lu Kang would throw him on the battlefield and abandon him.
Lu Kang disagreed and said lightly: "Prime Minister, the enemy is powerful, so let's break through the encirclement first."
"No, Youjie is still thinking carefully. Breakthrough is important at this moment, breaking through is important." Sun Qi nodded and agreed, and at the same time handed over the command of the Wu army to Lu Kang, and he would command the battle uniformly.
But at this time, the command of the Wu army was nothing. Most of the Wu army's troops had been divided and surrounded by the Wei army, and they were in chaos, and the military orders could not be issued long ago.
Moreover, the Wei army's offensive was tide at this moment. Although the Jinqi Battalion could not stop Lu's resistance, the three infantry battalions of the Wei army were as powerful as rainbows and were coming here to kill. If the Wu army could not evacuate quickly, they would sooner or later be eroded by the Wei army.
Lu Kang made a quick decision and ordered the army to be withdrawn as soon as possible. The Wu army, who had been trapped in the encirclement of the Wei army, gave up all the rescues. The current situation is extremely urgent, and it is enough to count as much as it can be saved.
Of course, Sun Feng had no opinion at all. He was already ready to give up, but now he suddenly had hope and it would be a blessing to be able to save his life. Sun Feng could not care about the life and death of other people.
Lu Kang ordered the Chaisang soldiers he brought to break the rear and fought with the Jinqi camp to cover the evacuation of other troops of the Wu army. Sun Qian, Sima Yichang, Zhu Xiong, Zhu Lun and others finally broke through the Shiting defense line of the Wei army without any danger.
However, there are less than 30,000 people who can break through. Most of the other Wu troops have been surrounded by the Wei army, either dead or surrender. Even if they are not dead or surrender for the time being, they can only survive and be defeated. It is only a matter of time.
For these people, it was not Lu Kang who was ruthless, but that he could not save him even if he wanted to save him. Of course, Lu Kang hoped to save more people. The smaller the casualties of the Wu army, the less losses the Wu Kingdom would have. However, the situation in front of him could not be changed by Lu Kang's own strength.
He escorted Sun Jin and others away, and Lu Kang came to cut off the rear in person. Fortunately, the Jinqi Camp was really exhausted at this time. Otherwise, with the strength of the cavalry, even if Lu Kang wanted to escape, it would not be easy.
The Wei army's large group of troops had approached here. Lu Kang could clearly see the Wei army's chief flag, a big word "sheep". The leader must be Yang Hu, the general commander of the Wei army.
Lu Kang knew that Yang Hu was a rare famous general in the Wei army. He was accustomed to fighting and made great achievements. Although Lu Kang was the son of the famous general Lu Xun, his reputation was far from that of his father. When Lu Kang saw Yang Hu, he naturally had a thought of competing with him.
But now the enemy is strong and we are weak. Lu Kangzhen wanted to compete with Yang Hu, and there was no chance at this moment. So Lu Kang judged the situation and saw the Wei army infantry sweeping over, he decisively ordered the retreat and no longer entangled with the Wei army.
As for the future, there are still opportunities. Lu Kang knew that the Wei army won this great victory in Huainan and would never withdraw its troops. The battle between Wei and Wu was truly opened. The road ahead is still long, and there are many wars to be fought. Lu Kang was not afraid that he would not have the chance to fight with Yang Hu again.
"The next time we meet, let's decide the outcome." Lu Kangyao looked at the handsome flag of Wei Jun and murmured to himself.
