Chapter 2058 give up the pursuit

Shi Bao walked into the Shu army's camp with a blue face. At this moment, the camp was completely controlled by the Wei army. There was no other Shu army in the entire camp. There were only empty tents standing there, and the burning bonfire was still emitting a trace of smoke.

The two large cages standing in front of the Central Army's tent have a large "Han" embroidered on one side and a large "Jing" embroidered on the other side. They are flying in the air in the wind. The tips of the ears embroidered in gold thread are shining under the sunlight, as if they are ruthlessly mocking the stone buds.

Shi Bao was already angry and embarrassed at this moment. He waved his sword and slashed the Jiang-like flag on the right with one knife. With a click, the flag fell down.

Shi Bao chopped over Jiang Wei's handsome flag, but still couldn't relieve his regret. He waved his hand and cut down the Chinese-character flag on the left. Looking at the two curled military flags on the ground, Shi Bao's mood finally calmed down a little at this moment.

How angry, Shi Bao had the chance to catch Jiang Wei, the big fish this time. As long as the cavalry camp crossed the Yangtze River, Jiang Wei could not escape, but unexpectedly, Jiang Wei was very deceitful and had launched an attack with all his might. The whole battle was in full swing, but he didn't expect that he turned around and slipped away. He also used the golden cicada to escape the shell and played Shi Bao fiercely, which made Shi Bao angry and wanted to start a horse immediately and chase the Shu army straight.

However, Shi Bao finally suppressed his impulse. At present, less than 30% of the troops crossing the Yangtze River in the Tunqi Camp were less than thirty percent. If he went to pursue him in one go, he would probably be ambushed by Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei has always been known for his tricks. Since he could escape from the battlefield with a golden trick, how could he know that he had no backup to guard against the pursuit of the Wei army? Maybe Jiang Wei's army set up an ambush at a critical point and was waiting for the Wei army. If Shi Bao was impulsive and advanced lightly, he would probably be ambushed by Jiang Wei.

Although Shi Bao has a hot temper and an impatient personality, it does not mean that he has no brains. Otherwise, if he could show off his courage, he would not have been valued by Cao Liang and sat in his current seat.

So when Shi Bao saw Jiang Wei's trick, he was furious and got angry on the spot. However, after calming down, Shi Bao did not dare to act rashly anymore. After all, there is risky pursuit and action should be cautious. With the current strength of the Wei army, it has reached the point where you can win without taking strange risks. Shi Bao only needs to use the most steadily method and take every step of the way, which is enough to win. Of course, Shi Bao will not easily send troops to pursue him.

Although Shi Bao suppressed his impulse, his generals came to ask for battle one after another, hoping to lead his army to pursue him. The most active one was Wang Hui, the general of the Tunqi.

Wang Hui had not made any achievements in the Battle of Yanziji, and the Wu and Shu army escaped from his hands. Although the superiors did not pursue Wang Hui's responsibility, no reward or punishment, Wang Hui secretly breathed in his heart. As long as he had the chance, he would definitely avenge this arrow.

This time, the Tunqi Camp moved to the police and crossed the river from the police to prepare to attack Jiangling. Wang Hui felt that his opportunity had come again, so he performed the most enthusiastically in the battle of crossing the river.

However, according to the arrangement, the right guard camp was the first to cross the river, which was also the most normal arrangement. After all, the equipment of the Tunqi Camp was heavy and difficult to transport. Under the same conditions, the troops transported were less than one-quarter of the right guard camp. Therefore, in the initial stage of landing on the beach, the first person to attack was the troops of the right guard camp.

Although Wang Hui was a little anxious, he could not disobey Shi Bao's orders. He could only stay on the south bank and watch the fire across the bank, but his heart was as if he was stumbled with his claws and was impatient.

After finally waiting for the entire army of the Right Guard Camp to cross the Yangtze River, the Tunqi Battalion started a series of crossings. When about 30% of the Tunqi Battalion's troops crossed the Yangtze River, Wang Hui wanted to show his strength and attack the Shu army, but he received the news that the Shu army had withdrawn overnight. This made Wang Hui extremely depressed. Jiang Wei also escaped too inappropriately and did not give him a chance to take action at all!

So after Wang Hui rushed to the camp of the Shu army, he immediately asked Shi Bao for battle, hoping that Shi Bao would order him to lead the Tunqi Camp to pursue the Shu army. After all, the Shu army had just left in the middle of the night. If the Tunqi Camp had all its strength to pursue, he would definitely be able to catch up with them.

Although the entire army of the Tunqi Camp did not cross the Yangtze River at this time, about 30% of the troops gathered on the north shore, which was enough for Wang Hui. If the four or five thousand cavalrymen were fully armed, they would not be afraid of any enemy army. Even if they were ten times more powerful than their Wushu army, Wang Hui had the ability to fight with him.

However, Shi Bao did not agree with Wang Hui's request for battle. Although Wang Bao was extremely angry when he first arrived at the Shu army camp, after calming down, he weighed the pros and cons and believed that the pursuit was not very meaningful at this moment. Even though the Tunqi Camp did have the ability to catch up with the Shu army, there was a horse-tab on the Shu army. In desperation, he spread the horse-tab on the narrow section of the road, and the pursuit of the Tunqi Camp would be useless.

What's more, Jiang Wei is full of tricks and will definitely leave a backhand during the retreat. But not only do he use the method of slapping horses, but if there is really an ambush, the camp of four or five thousand people may be in danger.

Shi Bao's minimum code of conduct is Shi Bao. Going deep into the army alone can only show off his courage and will not have much impact on the entire battle situation in Jingzhou. Even if the Shu army slipped away from their noses this time, it would be fine. As the saying goes, if you can avoid the first day of the lunar month, you can't avoid the fifteenth day. After the Wei army's right army meets in full, concentrating forces to attack Jiangling will be a more important battle.

Of course, Shi Bao didn't know that the Wu army had evacuated Jiangling, and Jiangling had become an empty city at this moment.

Because Jiangling City is the capital of Jingzhou Prefecture and one of the most important cities in Jingzhou, the retreat of the Lu Anti's army and the pursuit of the Wei army were actually carried out around Jiangling, and both sides listed Jiangling as their preferred target.

After the Wei army chased and lost Lu Kang, Cao Liang ordered the main attack to change the target of Jiangling, which allowed Shi Bao to lead the Tunqi Camp and the Right Guard Camp to cross the river. Therefore, the important city of Jiangling was the key to the battle in Jingzhou. Shi Bao did not think that the Wu army would give up easily.

In the end, Shi Bao gave up his pursuit of the Shu army and ordered the speed of crossing the river to cross the river as soon as possible, and then headed towards Jiangling City after all the troops under his command crossed the river.
