"Don't worry, General, Zhou Yu has already lost his courage and will never dare to provoke! We will surely ensure that the infantry lands successfully!"

Cai Mao immediately made a promise and said to Ma Qiang.

"Okay, Yide, I will take you as the vanguard and immediately send troops across the river to attack Sun Ce and Liu Qi's village!"

Taking advantage of his illness and killing him, Ma Qiang did not have the bad habit of letting the tiger return to the mountain, so he immediately asked Xun You and others to start mobilizing troops according to the previous plan and prepare to cross the river to pursue.

Zhou Yu, on the other side, waited until the sky turned white, and finally saw a fleet that had been missing a large circle and the injured Sun Ce, and hurried forward to catch it.

When it was confirmed that although Sun Ce was shot, he had no worries about life, Zhou Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Sun Ce died at this time, he really didn't know how to clean up this mess.

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief. When the others saw Zhou Yu, they all looked bad. Huang Qiu started to attack him and went forward to hit Zhou Yu. However, Quan Rou and others stopped him, so they did not let Zhou Yu get fisted.

"Zhou Baibian, tell me clearly, are you Ma Qiang's detailed work?

Are you directing us to break the enemy or to command us to hit Ma Qiang’s ambush?

The navy and navy were ambushed, infantry and infantry were ambushed. Are you the ambush master? Are you all helping Ma Qiang ambush us?"

Huang Ying's words made Zhou Yu's face turn red, and he didn't understand when his seamless chain plan was seen through by Ma Qiang.

Liu Qi also looked at Zhou Yu. If Sun Ce had not been injured, the Yangzhou army would have suffered a great loss. Liu Qi would have doubted whether this battle was Zhou Yu's goal.

Sun Ce, who had taken off his upper body and was bandaged by a doctor, said to Liu Qi, "Jun Liu, the defeat of this battle is all because of Ma Ziyu's treacherous behavior, and it is definitely not Gongjin's fault!"

Liu Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes, just protect your brother!

"Report!!!Report!!!

The North Shore fleet suddenly set off and was coming to our army!"

Zhou Yu immediately asked, "How many soldiers have come?"

"The North Shore fleet seemed to be in full bloom, with hundreds of warships, countless."

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and Liu Qi, and Sun Ce said directly, "Gongjin, please give the order, you are still my governor."

Liu Qi looked at Huang She and saw that although Huang She was aggressive, she could not come up with a solution at all. And Lu Su had been led by Zhou Yu to somewhere, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Qi has always trusted Gongjin, so please give the order!"

Zhou Yu then said, "Our army is now depressed and it is difficult to hold on here. Only by retreating south to Chaisang for repair can we fight.

I have built a water camp in Pengzezhong, and the fleet can be repaired inside. I also ordered people to strengthen the city of Chaisang. As long as there is enough money, food, and horses, it will be no problem to stick to it for half a year."

"Retreat to Chaisang?" Liu Qi immediately stopped and shouted, "If you retreat to Chaisang, what should you do in Jingzhou?"

Huang She also said, "If Zhou Yu only has your Yangzhou in your eyes, then let's go!"

Huang She’s foundation is in Jiangxia, in Jingnan, and not in Yangzhou anyway.

If you want to retreat to Yangzhou and give up everything in Jingzhou, then it would be better to surrender to Ma Qiang directly.

Just as Zhou Yu was about to explain, he ran over and shouted, "Report! Report! Emergency Military Information!!!"

Huang She found out that it was his subordinate and waved to ask, "What's wrong?"

"Xiling...Xiling is lost!"

"What?"

"impossible!"

Liu Qi and others exclaimed in disbelief.

"Are you sure?"

"It was the envoy's servant who came to report the letter. Xiling City was attacked last night. After dawn, the guard Wei Yan raised his troops to surrender!"

"How dare Wei Yan, ordinary men?"

Liu Qi was really angry. Xiling was his back. Not only did he hoard a lot of money, grain and materials, but more importantly, their families were also in Xiling.

For example, Liu Qi's five wives and concubines were all in Xiling City. He didn't dare to think about the horror that his wives and concubines would face after the city was destroyed.

When Liu Qi thought of this, tears came out, especially the fifth concubine, who had not had time to fulfill his family!

Wei Yan was even a trusted general whom he personally promoted. He never expected that Wei Yan would betray him at this time.

But this news made Zhou Yu feel relieved.

The fall of Xiling City made Liu Qi lose the foundation of Jiangxia, and Liu Qi had to follow him to Yangzhou.

Of course, Liu Qi can also go to Jingnan, but now if you want to go west, Ma Qiang will not let go.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but think of Liu Hu's army.

He said to Liu Qi and Sun Ce, "I don't know if General Liu Hu was successful when he went to sneak attack Anlu. If he succeeded, Ma Ziyu's pursuit of crossing the river would be slow."

Huang She hummed, "Since it's the governor's plan, I think it's a lot of danger."

Seeing what he said, Zhou Yu couldn't help but cough and pretended to be stupid, as if he didn't hear it.

But this also reminded Liu Qi that Xiling was lost, Huang Zu was still in Jingnan, Ma Qiang's troops had already reached the door, and he had to make a decision.

Liu Qi said to Zhou Yu, "It is OK to retreat west, but we should also help us back to Jingnan in the future."

"This is nature!"

What Zhou Yu was afraid of was that Liu Qi and others were unwilling to retreat westward, and they would be blocked and beaten by Ma Qiang.

Although the thoughts are unified, withdrawing troops is not an easy task, especially the withdrawal of pursuers behind them.

If one is not good, the withdrawal of the troops will turn into a great defeat and eventually the entire army will be wiped out.

Therefore, Zhou Yu recruited all the generals and gave them a detailed advice, asking them to guard them in sections and withdraw their troops step by step.

All the generals also knew that this matter was so important. Although they were dissatisfied with Zhou Yu, they still acted according to the order.

Not to mention how Zhang Fei landed in and started the trumpet of the pursuit war, on the other side, Hebei warships drove out from the road, announcing the failure of Yangzhou's plan to block the river surface.

"Hahaha! Finally came out!"

Gan Ning touched his head, looked at the hazy south bank under the river fog, and said with a smile, "It's Danyang County there, I don't know how many defenders and ships there are."

"From the current information, the entire Danyang County garrison should not exceed three or five thousand, and the maximum number of warships is more than ten. Danyang's elite troops have been transferred to Chibi to fight the main force led by the general."

Si** walked over, and the excitement on his face was even more than Gan Ning.

As long as Danyang and Wujun are taken down, Sun Ce's retreat will be completely cut off. The general will reward him with his contribution to clearing the waterway.

"Well, our fleet has been out for so long, and Nanban has not even come to interrogate and check it. It seems that it is indeed empty.

OK, I will send orders to cross the river and land directly!"

Zhou Yu, who was commanding the retreat in Chibi, and Sun Jian, who was guarding Wujun, did not expect that such a powerful soldier would descend from the sky and kill his soft abdomen.
