Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Although Hancheng had been conquered, the pseudo-Chen navy led by Wei Rui was still holding out at the Yanghan Ferry on the banks of the Han River.

At the same time, Tan Dao's 30,000 troops were deployed along the Dajiang Youyuecheng line.

Although Deng Mu successfully occupied Hancheng, he only had cavalry under his command and lacked the power to compete with the navy.

Therefore, he could not stop Tan Dao, Wei Rui and others from evacuating eastward from the waters of Hancheng, and could only watch them escape.

Nevertheless, the occupation of Hancheng had achieved the established strategic goal, and other details were now irrelevant.

Currently.

Deng Mu's primary task was to defend Hancheng, wait for Zhuge Dan to lead the navy to join him, and wait for the infantry led by Taishi Ci and others to reinforce from Jingcheng.

While Deng Mu and his soldiers toasted in Hancheng to celebrate, the fake Chen soldiers who had escaped by chance, 903, quickly spread the news of Hancheng's fall to all directions.

In the fake Chen army camp at Yanghan Ferry, as the sky gradually brightened, the fake Chen soldiers, who had been resting all night, walked out of the military tents one after another and assembled on the pier.

On the Han River, patrol boats returning from night duty slowly approached the shore. The tired soldiers disembarked and returned to the camp to rest, while the energetic successors set sail to continue to perform the vigilance of the water camp.

Wei Rui stood on the pier and urged the soldiers to complete the rotation quickly.

Until the warships set off again, he was relieved and rode off the pier and returned to the tent.

Such days repeated themselves. Seven days had passed since Tan Dao ordered Wei Rui to stay at Yanghan Ferry to monitor and block the Han army.

A few days ago, Wei Rui learned that Deng Mu led a large army to Xiangfan, which made him (bbej) nervous for several days, ready to fight against the Han army reinforcements coming down the Han River.

Not long ago, he received new intelligence that Deng Mu did not choose to attack Hancheng through the Han River, but led his army to Jingcheng by land.

This made Wei Rui relieved, and he realized that the crisis of Yanghandu had been resolved.

He speculated that Deng Mu must be afraid of his existence, so he gave up the plan to attack Hancheng by water.

Despite this, Wei Rui still maintained a high degree of vigilance, and strictly arranged day and night guards and patrols of the Han River to prevent Deng Mu from taking the opportunity to attack.

After all, Deng Mu was known for his cunning, and as a veteran who had experienced many battles, he would never make such a low-level mistake as underestimating the enemy.

"Deng Mu is invincible in the north, and almost unbeatable on land."

"But once we are on the water, our Chen army will be the real overlord..."

Wei Rui sneered, and his wrinkles revealed confidence.

At this time.

A fast horse galloped over, breaking Wei Rui's meditation.

"Report to the general, Deng Mu successfully attacked Seoul yesterday, and our Seoul garrison was completely wiped out!"

The voice of the messenger was full of tension and urgency.

Wei Rui's body shook suddenly, and his originally upright figure instantly stiffened on the horse's back.

The confident sneer on his face was instantly replaced by horror.

Has Hancheng been lost?

How is this possible!

Wei Rui thought he had heard wrongly, or that there was something wrong with his ears. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

With Wei Rui guarding the Han River, and Tan Dao stationed on the other side of the river, how could Deng Mu succeed in attacking Hancheng?

Could it be that he and his army flew over the heads of him and Tan Dao?

Wei Rui was full of confusion.

"What did you say?"

"Repeat it again!"

Wei Rui shouted loudly, his voice revealing disbelief.

The scout was startled and had to repeat the bad news again, while handing over the silk book.

Wei Rui snatched the silk book and quickly unfolded it for inspection.

His face was completely frozen.

"Han River is frozen!"

When he saw these four words, he took a breath of cold air and instantly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that Deng Mu was heading to Jingcheng, but he changed his route to Yunwu Road halfway and appeared on the other side of Hancheng without anyone noticing.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for cavalry to cross the Han River and attack Hancheng without ships.

But Deng Mu was not an ordinary person. He could actually calculate that the Han River would freeze at this time.

After Wei Rui understood all this, a chill rose behind him. []

"How can we fight this battle?"

Wei Rui muttered to himself, holding the silk book in his hand.

At a certain moment, he even felt a sense of despair in his heart.

Just like the bitter feeling of powerlessness that mortals feel when facing gods.

After being stunned for a long time.

Wei Rui took a few deep breaths and calmed his fluctuating emotions.

He waved his hand helplessly and sighed:

"Pass the order down, the entire army will retreat to the Yulin line."

As the order was conveyed, the pseudo-Chen army in Yanghandu soon learned the news of the fall of Seoul.

This originally spirited army soon fell into a panic. .
