Chapter 420 Lu Meng's Plan
Chapter 420: Lu Meng’s plan
At this time, the war elephants who had experienced continuous charges and killings were also a little tired, although they sometimes rolled up Yangzhou soldiers with their thick and long noses, threw them into the air, and waited for them to fall to the ground, then rushed over and stepped forward.
At this time, the Yangzhou army fully demonstrated their unity and mutual assistance. They knew that all comrades who were stepped on by the war elephant were turned into a ball of meat and there was no possibility of survival. Therefore, as long as the soldiers who were left by the war elephant, the comrades around him quickly stepped forward and rescued the elephant before rushing to the war elephant. This move greatly reduced the casualties of the Yangzhou army. The soldiers on the war elephant tried hard to drive the war elephant, but there were too many soldiers in Yangzhou and they could rob them quickly.
The archers of the Yangzhou army concentrated on crossbows to shoot the battle elephants and the occupants on the top. Even though the battle elephants were thick-skinned and rough, they could not withstand such fierce direct attacks. The leading battle elephants screamed and slowed down, and took a few more steps back to avoid crossbow arrows. The rest of the battle elephants slowly stopped attacking like it.
However, the occupants on the war elephant were in trouble. Their protection was as best as possible, but they could not withstand such concentrated attacks. From time to time, someone was caught in arrows and fell from the high war elephant, causing a few sorrowful cry.
As for those ordinary soldiers who occupied the people, they originally wanted to follow the war elephant and the vine armored soldiers. Seeing this situation, even their king disappeared, so they stopped attacking and slowly moved closer to the war elephant.
Seeing that the vine-armored soldiers were withdrawn, the battle elephant herd was exhausted, Lu Su threw his eyes on the Elephant Trunk Hill. The figures of Zulang's troops were getting smaller and smaller, and the Huangluo umbrella in the Qun Company were still in their original place, but there were no one below it. It must have been escaping to the back mountain. Lu Meng's troops bravely fought back the intercepted zombie and went straight to the mountain to meet Zulang. Behind them, the elite vine-armored soldiers were rushing to follow.
Looking at the backs of Zulang and Lu Meng's troops, Lu Su's eyes were slightly wet. If they hadn't fought to the death today, the entire Yangzhou army would have been defeated. Will the enemies in the back mountain still be ambushed? Can they return to the camp smoothly? Lu Su's heart was heavy.
As the occupants chanted the Jin Dynasty to withdraw the troops, Lu Su also ordered the troops to withdraw, and the troops retreated and set up camp in half a mile. Then Lu Su sent people to count the number of people. In today's battle, more than a thousand people were killed and more than a thousand were injured. Lu Su was sad. This was a huge loss that he had never experienced since he led the army!
Fortunately, after entering Lingnan, Lu Su imitated the female barracks and set up a rescue camp and recruited many local doctors, local doctors and homeless wanderers. Lu Su trained them according to his own understanding. After nearly two years of training, the rescue camp has now gained rich experience and the number of people has expanded to more than 100. Today, it is very useful. Under their treatment, the wounded and sick were properly handled and they have no worries about their lives.
Despite this, Lu Su still wrote to Zhou Yu and took the initiative to apologize. He believed that today's battle was a hasty decisive battle after he, as the head coach, who did not fully investigate the enemy situation, which led to the defeat of the Yangzhou army. In the letter, Lu Su asked Zhou Yu to punish him, demote him, and punish him.
Lu Su called the scout and told him to send the letter with a fast horse. After the moon was bright and the night was deep. Before Zulang and Lu Meng's troops had returned to the camp, Lu Su was very worried and walked out of the camp to look at each other. It was a coincidence that as soon as Lu Su walked to the camp gate, he saw many figures in the distance. He hurriedly sent people to explore, and the reward was that General Zulang and General Lu Meng led their team back.
Lu Su was overjoyed and hurriedly ran forward. When he saw Zulang and Lu Meng, who were covered in blood, he was comforted. After entering the camp, Lu Su realized that the two led their troops to chase the District Company to the back mountain. The District Company ran very fast, and was unfamiliar with the terrain, so he finally let them escape. In order to avoid the vine armored soldiers behind, the two led their troops to go around a big bend in the mountains before they walked back.
Lu Su said movedly: "In today's battle, thanks to the two generals who ignored their lives and death, the entire army would not be defeated. Here, Su is polite!" After that, Lu Su bowed deeply to Lu Meng and Zulang.
Lu Meng and Zulang hurriedly held their fists and returned the greeting, and the three of them pushed each other and then sat down.
Lu Su's face was a little depressed, and he said to the two: "The responsibility for today's defeat lies with me. If the enemy is unclear, he will fight rashly with him. I have already written to the lord to apologize. But if the neighborhood is not eliminated, I will be unable to sleep or eat. Can the two generals have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"
Zulang was originally a bandit and was proud of his ability to cross mountains and ridges. Today, he saw Zhan Ren who was stronger than him. He felt a little depressed. He shook his head and said, "I can't think of it for a while. There are many mountains and steep roads here, and Zhan Ren Ren is like flying, which is really difficult to deal with."
Lu Meng said something, which made Lu Su's eyes lit up. He thought carefully for a moment and said resolutely: "Zi Ming's plan is very wonderful! I am determined to follow this plan. The two generals will go back to the tent to rest first, and our army will rest for a few days."
On the second day, Qu Lin personally visited the central army and led the battle elephant, vine armored soldiers and ordinary soldiers to challenge Lu Su camp. He was shocked to find that Lu Su was actually hanging a battle-free sign in front of the camp gate. However, Qu Lin quickly figured it out that the Yangzhou army suffered heavy losses yesterday and its morale dropped sharply. He probably had no courage to fight with his army again.
Thinking of this, Qu Lin became even more proud. He sent several loud soldiers to insult Lu Su by name, asking him not to be a turtle, and tried to anger Lu Su. But Lu Su calmed down and visited the wounded soldiers everywhere in the camp. He seemed to have not heard of the abuse of occupying people.
For three consecutive days, Qu Lindu sent his subordinates to challenge the Lusu Camp. When he saw the battle-free sign was still high. Qu Lin tried to directly use the battle elephant to attack the camp gate, but because Lu Su digged a deep trench in front of the camp gate in advance, the battle elephant could not cross it.
Qu Lin was full of energy and said to his chief military advisor Aburi: "Military advisor, I think the Han people are scared, haha~~~"
Maburi replied flatteringly: "The king is wise, the Han people have no way to deal with our war elephants and vine armored soldiers. I think they will withdraw soon!"
"Since you are here, you have no way to retreat easily!" Qu Lin waved his hand and said to the guards beside him, "You send people to keep a close eye on the Han army every day. If you find that they have retreated, immediately notify me and you will catch up with their baggage troops no matter what. I still have a jealous look at the Han people's equipment, so let's take them all!"
When Maburi heard this, he laughed at Qu Lin. In their eyes, the excellent equipment of the Han people was about to become their own belongings.
I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
Chapter completed!
