Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, update is fast, no popups, free to read!
It has been more than a month since the beginning of military campaign, and Battle of Red Cliffs is nearing completion.
Out of Yiling City, Zhou Yu main forces encampment.
The number 100,000 main forces surrounded Yiling, and looked around. On the undulating land of outside the city, there were black camps everywhere. For a few miles, there was noise and sewage flowing.
The cold wind blows, and the hunting of the General flag blows.
Several logging yards have been temporarily set up by the woods further away from the camp. Thousands of Artisans compulsorily levied from Jiangling City using the lumber felled nearby were constructing various Siege Equipment day and night.
On the muddy road, there are also thousands of laborers who are compulsorily recruited, wearing worn clothes, facing the cold wind, and struggling to collect stone from the deep mountains, and use simple carts to transport them to the battlefield. .
Besides Army Camp, it has become a huge temporary ordnance processing base. Zhou Yu is not ready to attack Yiling until enough Siege Equipment is built, because there is no chance of winning at all.
From time to time, you can also see scattered troops returning from "food".
The Village around Yiling has been swept away by main forces. No particles exist. main forces wants to search for food again, it must go further Village.
Most of the labor in Army Camp was joined voluntarily by the people of nearby Village. You can still eat a bite of food for labor, if you do n’t, you will have to wait for death without food in your home.
The dark cloud of the provisions crisis is gradually shrouded over Zhou Yu main forces. Since yesterday, the military has been restricting rations. The first to be compressed are Artisan and labor.
They are compulsorily recruited, they do n’t say anything without paying, they do n’t have enough food.
The Livelihood of the people in troubled times is so unbearable.
Similarly, Cao Army in Yiling City is also uncomfortable. More than 100,000 main forcess are stationed in a small city. Even if they have provisions storage, they will not be able to withstand the consumption of main forces.
Without food, it became a common crisis in the battle both sides.
It depends on who can't support it first, so Zhou Yu is full of confidence. Anyway, they also take the initiative, and they can always collect some provisions every day.
The Yiling garrison is just sitting and eating.
Zhou Yu is like a patient hunter, while actively preparing hunting tools, laying down a trap ; and waiting patiently, waiting for the weakest prey, and then giving it a fatal blow.
On the condition that no other accidents occur.
The fall of Chaisang is the biggest accident and the biggest variable of war.
...
After walking for more than ten days, Decked Ship Battleship carrying Zhang Zhao and others finally stopped at Rivercourse port outside Yiling City. With the token given by Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and his party successfully met Zhou Yu.
"Admiral, something happened to Chaisang!"
Zhang Zhao did not cover up, and all the letters written by Sun Quan and Ouyang Shuo were handed over to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu opened the letter, the more embarrassing he looked, the more he sighed, and his expression was ashamed: "It was all my fault. I underestimated Shanhai City Fleet and overestimated their plans for Xiong Ba."
"Admiral, the enemy is too cunning." Zhang Zhao comforted.
"Stop this." Zhou Yu waved his hand. His relationship with Zhang Zhao was not good. He didn't want to show too much emotion in front of Zhang Zhao, and said firmly: "I will give orders and immediately return to camp."
Sun Quan was captured, Zhou Yu had to return.
Military orders, the entire camp grounds immediately riots. The first to receive a military order is naturally the 20,000 Jiangdong elite under the direct jurisdiction of Zhou Yu.
This armed forces was used by Zhou Yu arranged as a reserve team when attacking Jiangling City, so there was not much War loss.
Zhou Yu is stupid, knowing that if you do n’t hold a strong army in your hand, you can't hold down Otherworlder Corps ten times more than they are anyway.
Di Chen and others are also happy to pretend to harvest Military Campaign Contributions.
...
Zhou Yu's news of withdrawing troops reached Di Chen in less than half an hour.
Di Chen was shocked, rushed to the Army Camp account in person, and asked, "Admiral, why is this?"
Zhou Yu within heart sighed, some dare not face the question of Di Chen, his face said ugly: "Chaisang fell, Lordship was captured, I must rush back."
"What, Chaisang fell?" Di Chen was speechless in shock.
"Look at it for yourself!"
Zhou Yu passes Sun Quan letter to Di Chen.
"Will this be How Said No Clothes cheating?" Di Chen still couldn't believe it.
"How can there be fraud if Zhang Zhao General testifies in person." Zhou Yu shook his head and introduced Zhang Zhao to Di Chen.
See you at Di Chen, within heart is cool.
"How Said No Clothes, after all, can't I win you quickly?"
Di Chen within heart is entangled, still do not want Zhou Yu to withdraw like this, emotionally said: "Admiral, siege preparations are nearing completion. Seeing that Yiling is seize, is it a pity to withdraw at this time?"
"No way, Lordship is in the hands of the enemy." Zhou Yu also felt a little sorry.
"Admiral, I can guarantee that How Said No Clothes will not dare to really treat General Sun. Don't forget, his subordinates are still Yiling, refrain from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vases." Di Chen said. "Furthermore, Yiling is so far away from Chaisang, it will take more than half a month to go back and forth. As long as we hit a time difference, we will be able to capture Yiling first."
For a moment, Zhou Yu was excited.
Thinking for a while, Zhou Yu still reluctantly refused, shaking his head and saying, "No. I can't take the safety of Lordship as a gamble. That's too adventure|risk, it's not a courtier."
If the hostage is someone else, Zhou Yu is afraid of betting. But that is Sun Quan, Zhou Yu dare not bet.
"Admiral, I am not alone in sending this letter, and High-General of Shanhai City. Some of them are afraid that they have already entered Yiling at this time." Zhang Zhao on the side added.
"Confused!" Di Chen was short of breath.
I also want to know how Yiling will be excited by the news of Chaisang's fall. Even if they had a hint of timidity in the past, they were afraid to stay to the end at this time.
I really want to take it seriously, main forces ca n’t really find food in the city. Ten days and a half a month, there is no issue at all.
historical has a lone city that has stood for more than a year and still stands.
When it comes to this, Di Chen knows that it is impossible to leave Zhou Yu, and the face is cloudy.
I saw Zhou Yu and sighed: "Withdraw!"
Di Chen suddenly looked up, with firm eyes and full of fighting spirit, saying: "No, I will never withdraw."
"Do you want to disobey?"
"Admiral, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You have your choice, we also have our choice. This time, we must be seize Yiling." Di Chen is determined.
"Bold!" Zhang Zhao scolded.
"Let's do it!" Zhou Yu looked tired and waved his hand to signal Di Chen to step down.
Di Chen left stubbornly, but eventually broke up.
"Admiral, how can you indulge Otherworlder?" Zhang Zhao looked a little excited. He had never seen anyone before, and he dared to defy the military order so boldly.
"What if you don't agree? Otherworlder Corps is several times as much as our army, so we can't force it."
In the military, the right to speak depends on the strength of the troops.
Zhang Zhao listened, and was said to be dumb, he also led soldiers, how could he not understand this truth.
Some of the camps became silent.
...
The next day, Zhou Yu took the Jiangdong and set off on the way home.
Di Chen is leading 200,000 Otherworlder Corps and is about to attack Yiling.
The two main forcess parted ways.
When main forces departed, an episode occurred.
Shanhai City Military General, who came with Zhang Zhao, made a request to Zhou Yu, asking Zhou Yu this person to evacuate by Decked Ship Battleship, and Jiangdong main forces to be brought back to Chaisang by other High-General.
"Don't bully people too much!" Zhou Yu is hard to say, but Zhang Zhao can't help it.
Where is this please? It is clearly detention and imprisonment.
"Insignificant General only acts on orders. Please also General not to make me embarrassed." Shanhai City is not humble. "My family Your Lordship said, for the safety of General Sun, Zhou Yu Admiral must be considerate."
"You!" Zhang Zhao was furious with this naked threat.
"Since it was requested by Lord No Clothes, I'd better respect him. Speaking of which, I just want to see your department's Giant-scale Battleship." Zhou Yu is open-minded and unconcerned.
He turned to Zhang Zhao and said, "Trouble General Zhang take armed forces back!"
"No!" Zhang Zhao nodded helplessly.
Ouyang Shuo is helpless. He never dare to underestimate Zhou Yu and let Zhou Yu Commander main forces, who knows what will happen.
So, the best way is to invite Zhou Yu to Battleship.
This is also protecting Zhou Yu in disguise. Ouyang Shuo is afraid to conclude that there is no Di Chen in Otherworlder Corps of Cao Cao Faction. He may not have any accidents with hope Zhou Yu.
In order to get Zhou Yu, Ouyang Shuo is also a good intention.
************
Yiling City, a mansion somewhere.
White Flower and others received the secret letter from Ouyang Shuo and finally let go of their hearts slightly.
"No Clothes really did not let us down!"
Feng Qiuhuang had a smile on her face. During this time, she was besieged by Yiling. They were under great pressure.
"It's just this time that military campaign, we have become supporting actors again." Feng Qiuhuang is somewhat stubborn.
When Ouyang Shuo decided to go with Fleet, Feng Qiuhuang within heart was encouraging. She also wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to prove it.
Which idea did I lose to traitor.
Although it is said that the rebellion of South of the Colored Clouds and others has nothing to do with Feng Qiuhuang, it is still very aggrieved to think about it.
White Flower looked the same as Feng Qiuhuang and said lightly: "I guess, Di Chen will definitely not yield to well-behaved."
"That guy was so devastated that he defeated No Clothes in Military Campaign Map, and he was almost enchanted. This time, he won our half inning, how can he give up lightly?" Feng Qiuhuang also sees Di Chen very thoroughly, and the words turn around, killing qi Suddenly: "If you can't even deal with Di Chen, then we are not worthy of being an No Clothes ally."
"Yes!" White Flower nodded, his expression indifferent, but the killing intention of within heart was not lower than Feng Qiuhuang. "It must be compared with Di Chen. This account of South of the Colored Clouds must be calculated."
The two female womans, or the female demon heads, surprisingly reached an agreement on this matter.
"Then we have to plan for it!" Feng Qiuhuang smiled.
Although the two women have different personalities, the characteristics of dissatisfaction are the same.
