Chapter 709 (1/2)

Many Jiangdong soldiers and soldiers were nervous, but Zhou Yu, the commander of Jiangdong army, did not change his face.

”Order!”

Zhou Yu pointed the flag forward in his hand, and said, ”order that the gates of all sides be closed, and that the whole army gather at the north gate of Shuxian County, and prepare for the formation of the city!”

”No!”

All the four gates of Shuxian county were closed immediately, while the East army of more than ten thousand rivers gathered towards the north gate of Shuxian county. Zhou Yu collected the troops of Han Dang army which had been defeated by Cao Ren before, and reorganized the army array. For a moment, about 20000 Jiangdong troops gathered outside the north gate of Shuxian County, forming a semicircle formation, with the back close to Shuxian county and the front like a machete Cao Jun.

Step on it!

Cao Chun and lejin, led by a thousand leopards and ten thousand Cao soldiers, came slowly. They suddenly stopped at a distance of about 300 steps from Jiangdong army.

Cao's soldiers, surrounded by a general, stood on horseback. He was not tall, but his face was sharp. He held a spear and his big eyes were bright. He was the first strong general who followed Cao Cao in his early years.

”Brother Zihe, the Jiangdong army is in a well-organized formation, and it is also in the formation of the city. Even if our army pours out, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy for a moment.” Cao chundao on the opposite side of lejin.

When Cao Chun looked around, he saw that Jiangdong army had a well-organized formation, its arms were arranged reasonably, the banners were flapping, the red water Qilin battle flag was flying in the wind, and the water Qilin seemed to break through the air with his teeth and claws. A serious and powerful spirit spread out in an instant, which should not be underestimated.

The formation mode of the 20000 Jiangdong army effectively avoided the weakness of its own lack of troops. If there are twenty thousand troops in formation, only three of them will be attacked by Cao's army. Moreover, when Cao's army attacked, if the attack was too urgent, the garrison on the top of the city would use bows and arrows, rolling wood and stone as support.

”Well, stop marching for the time being and wait for the prime minister and general.”

Cao Chun nodded, and then sent a sentry to inform Cao Cao.

”The prime minister, the governor of Cao Qi and the captain of yuexiaowei, ask for instructions and instructions from the prime minister.” The sentinel reported to Cao Cao in a loud voice.

”Well...” Cao Cao sat on his horse, squinting his eyes and looking forward, shaking his head.

”The city was in line, and his morale was high. Zhou Yu was really good.”

Cheng Yu inquired: ”prime minister, Jiangdong army was entangled with Cao Lifeng before, and his physical strength was exhausted. However, our army was able to keep up its strength. Although the Jiangdong army has 20000 people, if our army attacks on all sides, it is not necessarily impossible to win it down. Do you want to March?”

With a smile on his face, Cao Cao waved his hand: ”no, take the pen and ink. I want to write a letter to Zhou Yu in person, and then withdraw.”

Cheng Yu's eyes brightened: ”is the prime minister planning to separate Zhou Yu and Sun Quan?”

”Well.” Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.

Cheng Yu worried: ”I'm afraid that Zhou Yu's intelligence is superior, and he won't be cheated.”

”No harm.” Cao Cao waved his hand and said, ”it's best to be able to separate Zhou Yu and Sun Quan. Even if we can't, we can also bury a gap between them. Zhou Yu is a foreign minister and leads a heavy army. As time goes on, Sun Quan will have doubts sooner or later.”

After that, Cao Cao ordered: ”retreat!”

”No!”
