Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

However, Cao Jun has not shown signs of retreating for a long time, which can only show that the Jiangdong Army has not captured Runan and hit Xuchang.

Pang Tong had worked so hard during this time, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Just as he was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, suddenly a personal guard came to report from outside: "Military division, there is an urgent report!"

The personal guard yelled three times before Pang Tong slowly opened his eyes.

He forced his tired and weak body to sit up and asked, "What's the matter?"

After hearing Pang Tong's words, the personal guards entered the camp and handed over a letter with both hands: "Military Master, this is an urgent military message from Fancheng!"

When Pang Tongtong heard that it was an urgent military situation from Fancheng, his heart trembled, and he said to himself, "Cao Jun broke through the Xinye line of defense, right?"

Taking two steps forward in a hurry, Pang Tongtong opened the secret letter and read it.

After only reading for two or three breaths, Pang Tong suddenly yelled: "Ah! That's terrible!"

Wenpin and Li Yan, who came outside to inquire about today's deployment, looked at each other in surprise after hearing Pang Tong's shout, then strode into the tent and asked, "Military division, what happened?"

Pang Tong's face was pale, and his figure was crumbling!

Seeing this, Wen Pin and Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward to support Pang Tong, and said, "Military Master, you must take care of your health no matter what!"

Pang Tong took two deep breaths, adjusted his mentality and physical condition, nodded and said: "It's okay, I'm just a little too tired..."

After helping Pang Tong to sit down on the bed, Wen Pin asked solemnly, "Military Master, can you tell us what happened?"

Pang Tong handed the secret letter in his hand to Wenpin, and said: "A letter from Fancheng, Cao Jun's navy appeared in the Han River, and they cut off our army's grain road from Xiangyang to the north..."

"???"

"Cao Jun Navy?"

Wenpin and Li Yan were stunned, "Where can Cao Jun's navy come from in the Han River?"

"I don't know, but Deng Bomiao (Deng Zhi), the guard of Fancheng, would not lie about the military situation." Pang Tong replied.

Wenpin and Li Yan fell into a brief silence.

But soon, Wenpin said: "Even if Cao Jun's sailors sneaked into Hanshui, we still have a lot of sailors now, can't we defeat them?"

"General Wen, have you forgotten... Most of the Jingzhou navy is under the control of the Cai brothers. During their battle before, the Jingzhou navy was almost disabled..."

After Li Yan explained, Wenpin came back to his senses, "Yeah, it's all because of that damned Cai Mao! He ruined 20 sailors in Jingzhou!"

After Cai Mao was defeated, he fled to Jingnan with his remnant soldiers and his tribe.

The four counties in the south of Jingzhou have been in a semi-independent state, and Liu Qi's pangtong army can't rashly go in and arrest people.

The Jingzhou navy is considered half disabled. After hearing that even the Jiangdong navy is no match for Cao Jun's navy, they are even more afraid to go out to fight.

At this moment, another messenger came to report: "Qi reported to the military division that Zhang He and Gao Lan led an army of [-] and are inviting battle outside the city!"

"It's coming again!" Li Yan grumbled, and then said with a slightly changed face, "Military Master, do you think Jia Xu and the others already know that our army has been cut off by Cao Jun's navy?"

Pang Tong smiled wryly and said, "Nine out of ten they already know... That old fox Jia Xu may have dug a big hole somewhere for us to jump into!"

"Then what should we do?" Wenpin asked again.

How to do?

Pang Tong has also been thinking.

"How about we withdraw!" Li Yan asked tentatively.

Pang Tong couldn't wait for news from Jiangdong, but he was almost dumped.

The situation was critical, and he couldn't help waiting any longer.

"Li Zhonglang, send me an order to summon officers above the school lieutenant to discuss matters!" Pang Tong ordered.

"Here!" Li Yan took the order with his fists cupped and left.

Because Pang Tong defeated Cai Mao and Huang Zu in a very short time and helped Liu Qi settle in Jingzhou, and his own identity background is not simple, so Pang Tong's prestige in Jingzhou is very high now.

As soon as an order was issued, all the generals obeyed, and it didn't take long before the large tent of the Chinese army was crowded with people.

Pang Tong sat on the main seat, looking at the general below.

When all the people arrived, he said: "I, Pang Tong, am not talented, and I was entrusted by my lord to lead an army north to attack the Han traitor Cao Cao.

The situation was originally good, but now, there has been no news from the Jiangdong allies, and Cao Jun's navy has dropped the Han River from the sky, cutting off our army's retreat..."

"What? Cao Jun and the navy? And cut off our retreat??!"

Hearing that their home was cut off by Cao Jun's navy, this group of arrogant soldiers in Jingzhou suddenly felt absurd, and then burst into laughter at the same time,

"Hahaha! Where did the water monkey jump out and dare to call himself a navy master?!"

"No way, grandpa is laughing to death!"

Pang Tong's expression remained unchanged. After the group of people gradually realized that something was wrong and stopped laughing at Cao Jun's navy, Pang Tong continued: "No matter how Cao Jun came here or how strong his combat power is, our retreat is always left by them. cut off."

The soldiers in the hall began to whisper to each other. Not long after, a general came out and said, "Military adviser! There is no serious navy in Cao Jun, who dares to take the initiative to provoke. The last general calls for a battle. It only takes 1 people to fight." Throw them all into the Han River to feed the fish!"

At this time, another general stood up and asked for orders: "Military division, the last general only needs 5000 people! 5000 people can clean up your troubles!"

"In the end, there will only be 3000 people!"

"At the end there are only 1000 people!"

......

Pang Tong waved his hand and said, "I intend to withdraw the whole army from Danshui and give up the offensive of Nanyang County."

"..."

"!

! ”

This... What's going on with this special meow?

"Why, why are you retreating! Military advisor!" A general was anxious and couldn't help asking loudly.

Seeing that the soldiers were a little excited, Wen Pin quickly stood up and stopped, "Be quiet and listen to the military division!"

Wenpin is a veteran with high prestige.

With him coming forward, the group of generals quickly quieted down.

Pang Tong was not angry, because even he was extremely unwilling in his heart.

But the current situation is rapidly developing in a direction that is unfavorable to them. If they hesitate for a day or two, they may not be able to leave even if they want to.

Pang Tong started from the Jiangdong allies and began to analyze the current situation for these generals.

After a cup of tea, these generals finally understood why Pang Tong was determined to retreat.

"Jiangdong Army is really a group of soft-footed shrimp... They have created such a good opportunity for them, but they still can't take Xuchang..."

"Let's not talk about Xuchang, I'm afraid we'll have to go all out to win Runan..."

"What a group of pig teammates!"

Just as the generals in the big tent were discussing, a messenger suddenly stumbled in from outside.

"Military division! Military division! Disaster! Disaster!"

Pang Tong's heart tightened slightly, and he quickly asked, "Be clear, what happened!"

"Just got the exact news...Cao Jun...Cao Jun's navy came from the Yangtze River!

Along the way, they successively broke through dozens of fortresses set up on the riverside in Jiangdong, and also broke through the important town of Chaisang City, and even defeated the 17 elite navy led by Zhou Yu! "

quiet!

In the big tent,

A dead silence!

Chapter 498 Wei Yan Attacks Xinye City at Night

Cao Jun's navy defeated the Jiangdong navy?

Or the 17 Jiangdong navy led by Zhou Yu himself? !

Fu Tong picked up the messenger with one hand and asked, "You boy, did you run too fast and lost your mind?"

The messenger swallowed hard, and then said: "No, no! There are letters here, little one. If you don't believe me, read it yourself!"

Fu Tong was not polite either, he stretched out his hand and began to dig into the messenger's arms.

Sure enough, he grabbed a letter without taking out twice, and then he strode forward and handed the letter to Pang Tong.

Time was running out, and Pang Tong had no time to think carefully.

He just browsed through it twice and then directly ordered: "Pass my military order, put up more flags, and leave [-] soldiers to beat drums every hour and pretend to be ready to fight. The rest wait, follow me to retreat!"

The Jingzhou generals in the big tent all felt terrified, they all felt the urgency and unquestionableness in Pang Tong's tone, so they all clasped their fists together and said, "Here!"

......

Regarding the news that the Lu Yan navy blocked the Han River, Cao Cao sent it to Jia Xu as soon as possible.

Jia Xu got the news half a day earlier than Pang Tong.

Cao Cao himself led Cao Hong, Lu Lingqi's generals, and [-] soldiers, and was heading for the front line of Danshui at full speed.

Even if Pang Tong could escape, he had to take off a layer of skin!

Jia Xu sent Zhang Ying, Gao Lan and [-] soldiers to attract Pang Tong's attention, but in fact, he secretly dispatched Wei Yan and other generals to sneak towards Xinye with [-] troops.

Wei Yan led an army of [-] to rush all the way, and it took less than a day to reach Xinye City fifty miles away.From Wancheng to Xinye, there is another better road than Bowangpo, so their marching speed is very fast.

After arriving fifty miles away from Xinye City, Wei Yan stopped rushing on his way.

He ordered the army to stop and rest, and waited quietly for the night to come down.

This waited until Haishi, the soldiers had already eaten and rested enough, and Wei Yan ordered the army to move out as soon as the time came!

Wei Yan's army, with their horses wrapped around their hooves, went south and then east, and arrived at the south of Xinye City by detour.

Wei Yan is also a person with great ambitions and a proud heart.

Although he was quite appreciated and trusted by Cao Cao, but he had been with Cao Cao for so many years, and except for the battle of Jiluo Mountain, he had no record of shooting. How could this not make him grudge.

Moreover, Huang Zhong, the eldest brother who went to Cao Ying with him, is not only a few ranks higher than him, but also a famous general in the world. If Wei Yan says in his heart that he is not envious, he is lying.

The defender of Xinye is Jingzhou veteran Wang Wei, who is extremely loyal and has a good prestige in the army.

Although Xinye City is small, it is a strong city, and its location is extremely important, and it is only a hundred miles away from Xiangyang. Therefore, Pang Tong specially handed Xinye over to Wang Weilai to guard, hoping that he can slow down the pace of Cao Jun's southward march and fight for Fancheng and Xiangyang. More time to prepare.

There is no moat outside Xinye City, but the city wall is tall and strong. If it is to attack by force, Wei Yan's mixed soldiers of [-] paces are not enough, so if you want to take it, you have to find another way, such as night attack!

The [-] troops detoured, and the speed could not be increased too fast because of the need to hide their whereabouts.

It was a mere fifty miles, and they walked for more than an hour, until they finally came to the south gate of Xinye at Choushi.

Wei Yan ordered the army to stop five miles away for a little rest. At the same time, he led a dozen guards to the outside of Xinye City quietly, trying to feel the situation on the Xinye City Wall.

It's a pity that Xinye City was pitch-black, except for the outline of a few patrolling Zumo Lake, nothing could be seen.

Although they couldn't see the situation on the city wall clearly, it was also not easy for the Jingzhou soldiers on the city wall to detect the dark movement below the city wall.

After some observation, Wei Yan felt that he could take a risk.

So just after Yin's time, Wei Yan ordered 200 people to touch it quietly, until they reached the foot of Xinye city wall, trying to climb the city wall and open the city gate from the inside.

Taking out the crossbow, the 200 men began to load the crossbow.

Looking carefully, the arrowheads of the crossbow arrows they installed are not the usual jagged or triangular fangs, but have several barbs, and a finger-thick rope is tied to the end of the arrow.

This kind of arrow, which is similar to a hook and claw, is a special equipment from the shadow guard.

Because of its simple production and wide range of applications, there will be some equipment in the general army.

200 people filled all the missing arrows.

When the patrol team walked away, the lieutenant in charge of climbing the city wall gave an order, and immediately 200 people raised their crossbow arrows and pointed at the city wall of Xinye obliquely, and pulled the mechanism of the strong crossbow in their hands!

"Hoohoo!"

"Ding dong!"

With the whistling sound of the crossbow arrows, the arrows flew up the city wall and successfully hung on the notch between the city walls.
