Chapter 1879 Although defeated, still proud

After the battles between Shiting and Xiaoyaojin ended, according to the previous convention of Wei, after the great victory, they should play a sing of triumphant songs and win and go on a verge.

However, Cao Liang did not order the return of the army. Instead, he ordered all troops to simply clean the battlefield and continue to march south. Yang Hu from the west route led his troops to attack Wancheng and Wankou, Shi Bao and Wang Chang from the middle route led their troops to attack Dongguan and Ruxukou, and Liu Jing from the east route led his troops to attack Wujiang and Guangling, and thoroughly cleared the territory of the Wu army on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

After the defeat in Huainan, the Wu army's defense line in Jiangbei was useless. Although Wu army troops had been stationed in Wancheng and Dongguan, Sun Feng had already become a frightened bird at this time. After escaping from Shiting, he did not dare to stay in Wancheng for more. He passed through the city overnight, crossed the river from Wankou, and fled back to Jiangdong.

The troops left behind Jiangbei were already panicked and their morale was dispersed. Faced with the Wei army's aggressive attack, they had no intention of resisting and fled one after another. Fortunately, the water networks in Jiangbei were densely populated, and the Wu army could escape by boat. Although the Wei army was powerful, it was beyond the reach of the Wu army that wanted to annihilate the Wu army on the warship. Therefore, the Wu army was invincible when the Wei army arrived, and even lost the will to resist.

Even the Wu army abandoned the Dongguan, which claimed to be solid and had once made the Wei army fall into sank sand here. The losses of the 150,000 troops in the Battle of Huainan made the Wu army frightened and did not dare to stay in Jiangbei and fled for fleeing.

Perhaps only the natural chasm of the Yangtze River can bring a sense of security to the Wu people. The troops of all Wu troops wished to have wings and escape from the Yangtze River, so that they could escape from heaven.

The Wei army basically did not fight with the Wu army in this battle in Jiangbei. Their advancement was unusually smooth, and they quickly took down all the cities, ferries and fortresses from Wankou in the west and Guangling in the east. The entire Jiangzuo land had all fallen into the hands of the Wei army.

In the Battle of Huainan, the Wei army had annihilated enough Wu troops, so in the process of sweeping across the north of the Yangtze River, the Wei army's goal was to conquer the city and land, and was not prepared to find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy. The Wu army in Wancheng had the Wanshui River, and the Wu army in Dongguan had the Ruxu River. As for Wujiang and Guangling, they were even backed by the Yangtze River. The Wu army could escape from the waterway with one turn. If the Wei army wanted to annihilate the enemy, there was no trace.

However, taking down Jiangbei has achieved Cao Liang's goal. At this time, the Wei army can already hold troops in Jiangbei, drink horses and watch the Yangtze River, and watch the stone city.

By reaching the mouth of the Xijiang River, you can see Jianye City on the other side of the Yangtze River. The tiger away from the dragon plate of the stone city is majestic and spectacular. When the weather is clear, you can clearly see the entire view of the stone city.

The Wei army was already at the city, causing a considerable shock in Jiangdong. Compared with the Battle of Huainan, which lost 150,000 people, the Wei army's troops at the city made the Wu people feel even more panic. The entire Wu Kingdom fell into turmoil.

Since the founding of the State of Wu, although countless wars have occurred between Wu and Wei, the situation like today that the Wei army directly faces the capital has never happened. Although Wu has a Yangtze River defense line known as a natural danger, the flags of the Wei army are flying on the other side, and the Wu country is trembling.

Sun Jing boarded the boat from Wankou. He rode the largest and best building boat of the Wu army. The building boat has three floors, so wide that Wu soldiers could ride horses on the deck.

After boarding the stairs, Sun Feng's uneasy heart was put back into his stomach. On the land in Huainan, Sun Feng had no sense of security at all. Even though he arrived in Wancheng under the escort of Lu Kang, Sun Feng was still in shock. After a short stay in Wancheng, he left the city overnight, headed straight to Wankou, and boarded the boat offshore.

Many people think that Sun Chi's worries are redundant. In the past, the Wu army and the Wei army had suffered defeats. However, after the defeat, the Wei army generally would not pursue the victory, because if they pursued again, they would go to the edge of the Yangtze River. No matter how capable the Wei army had, it would not be possible to cross the river. Therefore, many subordinates advised Sun Chi to rest in Wancheng, and it would not be too late to set off again tomorrow morning.

But Sun Feng seemed to be scared. No matter how others persuaded him, Sun Feng insisted on setting out overnight. The generals could not resist him, so they had to drag their tired body and leave Wancheng overnight.

Facts proved that Sun Chen's judgment was correct. Sun Chen left Wancheng in the middle of the night. After dawn, Wancheng was attacked by a large group of Wei troops. The defenders of Wancheng could not resist the enemy and abandoned the city and fled. Wancheng soon fell.

Although Sun Jing may not encounter danger when he stays in Wancheng, the risk is extremely high after all. If there is a little mistake, he will really not be able to return to Jiangdong.

When Sun Feng was boarding the ship, he heard the news of the fall of Wancheng and said to his left and right with smugness: "How about it? If it weren't foresight, you might be imprisoned at this moment."

Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing. They thought that after Sun Jing's defeat, people would become more low-key and humble. Unexpectedly, Sun Jing was still domineering, and his little achievements were so proud.

What is foresight? It is purely fart. If Sun Feng had only a little foresight, how could the Wu army suffer such a defeat and lose his troops and humiliate the country? The reason why he fled Wancheng overnight was completely afraid that the Wei army would die. Now that the Wei army really came to attack Wancheng, Sun Feng had the capital to be arrogant.

After Sun Qian boarded the stairs at the entrance of Wan, he did not land on the south bank, but took a warship and went east along the river, heading to Jianye through the waterway. The navy fleet went down the river and was in a vast and powerful way.

When passing Ruxukou, Sun Qian saw that the Wu army in the East Pass had retreated to Ruxukou. The cavalry of the Wei army was already drinking horses in the Yangtze River and stood on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Sun Feng was riding on the warship. Even if he passed by the Wei army, he was no longer afraid. Instead, he pointed at Ruxu's mouth with his fingers and said to his subordinates: "Although the Wei army is powerful, only the river water is natural and dangerous. Even if they have great ability, they can only sigh. As long as our army defends the Yangtze River, the foundation of the Yangtze River will be as stable as a rock."

From Ankou to Jianye, it is all waterways and is traveling along the river. The speed is not slow at all. It only takes a few days to reach Jianye.

However, Sun Jing was not in a hurry, but walked and stopped on the Yangtze River. In name, he inspected the defense of Niu Zhu, Ma'anshan and other places. But in fact, he had not yet thought about answering Master Wu's words. After all, this time, Sun Jing expressed his confidence that he would not return the Huainan and would not return it. However, he came with excitement and returned in defeat. How to explain to Master Wu Sun Xiu and Jiangdong is something that Sun Jing needs to consider.
