Chapter 271: Interception and Killing

"Hurry, hurry!

On the avenue, the Shu army wearing red armor was rolling and surging, and they hurried towards the south at a very fast speed. In the army, one by one, the captains and Sima kept urging.

In order to prevent the Jiangdong army from retreating into Jiangling, the soldiers of the Shu army who did not go out in Dangyang were organized as vanguards, led by Huang Zhong and quickly moved south. Yang Yun and Huang Quan led the troops and horses in the back. Repair in the city for an hour or two, and then follow closely.

"I don't know what to do if I know that Dangyang is lost!"

Yang Yun was on the way to the march, secretly musing to himself. According to the remnants of the Tree of Cause and Effect, Jiangling was the seat of governance of Nanjun, and after Xiangyang was occupied by Wei, Jiangling became the center of control over the four counties of Jingnan.

The city is very strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Wu army is allowed to retreat into Jiangling, even if the Shu army has 100,000 elite sieges, it may not be able to capture it for a while and a half.

For the Shu Han side, the battle of the Eastern Crusade was best won quickly. Otherwise, if it is delayed for a long time, the situation will slowly turn in favor of Jiangdong.

After all, Jiangdong has now declared itself a vassal to Wei, and Wei has enough reason to go south to attack the Shu army.

Of course, Yang Yun hoped that Lu Xun's camp that was still in Yiting at this time would not move. In this way, he will be able to besiege from three ways and annihilate all the tens of thousands of elites in Jiangdong.

However, Lu Xun is a top-level commander and will definitely not sit still. If what he expected is right, the other side must already be preparing to withdraw his troops.

Now, it's up to who's faster.

"Report! General Huang has crossed the river!"

At this time, the herald rushed to report the current situation of Huang Zhong's department. Huang Zhong led the forward, and he had already passed the frustration and would soon be able to rush to Huya Mountain in the north of Yiling.

On the west side of Huya Mountain, there is the pavilion where Lu Xun's army is stationed.

"Pass the order, let General Huang slow down the march and maintain the strength of the soldiers!" Yang Yun asked Huang Quan beside him for his opinion, and soon issued a new order.

The art of war has clouds, and at the end of a strong crossbow, the arrow cannot pierce Lu Min. Hundreds of miles and profit-seekers jumped on the general. If it is just for the sake of blindly seeking speed, even if it is the elite of the Shu army, it will feel extremely tired when it arrives at the place.

When the time comes, it will be Lu Xun who will wait for work and defeat the Shu army.

Like this kind of marching experience, Yang Yun knows a little about it, after all, he is not Uncle Liu Huang who has been fighting for half his life in the original version. He now relies on Huang Quan, the general of Zhenbei.

With this general, who is both civil and military, to pick up the gaps on the side, Yang Yun has the confidence to implement his plan.

After the army led by Yang Yun also crossed the frustrated water, the herald came with the latest information.

"There has been a change in the Jiangdong army, and how many troops and horses have retreated east?"

After Yang Yun heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and as he expected, Lu Xun immediately took action after receiving the news that Dangyang City was broken.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, the only way to speed up the march is to block the land army in Jiangdong before the other party withdraws!"

Huang Quan immediately said his advice.

In addition, send someone to release the wolf smoke signal, and let Chen Zhi lead the mountain road soldiers and horses to immediately attack the Wu army's Yiting camp and try to entangle Lu Xun's main force as much as possible!"

Yang Yun thought about it, and quickly began to give various instructions.

When the forward department slowed down, Yang Yun's main force increased its speed and soon saw a continuous mountain range in the distance.

This mountain peak is called Huya Mountain, the terrain is relatively narrow, and the top of the mountain is lush and verdant. A beautiful mountain forest scenery full of life.

Rumble!

Lines of wolf smoke burned on the mountain, rising into the sky, billowing wolf smoke gathered in the air, and could be clearly seen dozens of miles away.

On the flat ground of the mountain road.

Chen Zhi sat in the tent, holding a Jinpa in his hand and carefully wiping the silver spear. This bright silver spear was the weapon that His Majesty gave him last time after entering Shu.

His eyes stared at the sharp edge of the spear, the head of the spear was incomparably sharp, I don't know how much blood he drank, although there was no blood, but ordinary people could feel the evil aura of this spear at a glance.

"General, Your Majesty has already sent a signal!"

At this time, Zhang Bao and the herald walked into the big tent with an excited face, Zhang Bao rushed back from Jiangbei yesterday, and brought His Majesty's latest instructions, as long as he saw the wolf smoke rising in the sky, he would go out of the camp and launch a strong attack on the Jiangdong camp.

"Okay! Pass the order, all armed, follow me!"

Chen Zhi immediately threw away Jinpa, looked grim, stood up, and mobilized the 20,000 troops in the camp with Zhang Bao.

Immediately afterwards, an army of 20,000 troops, led by Chen Zhi and Zhang Bao, launched an attack on the Jiangdong camp.

With the harassment of Chen Zhi's troops and horses, the retreat speed of the Jiangdong army was suddenly greatly affected.

In order to deal with such a situation, Lu Xun immediately asked Han Dang to personally lead people out to kill them, and make a mess with the elite under Chen Zhi's command. The remaining Jiangdong soldiers, abandoning most of their baggage, put on armor and holding weapons, under the leadership of Xu Sheng and others, began to leave the camp and retreat in the direction of Jiangling.

......

When the soldiers and horses along the road retreated, in the mountains and forests in the distance, Huang Zhong had killed all the spies from the north, and with thousands of pioneers, he hid next to the road from Yiling to Jiangling.

"General Huang, should we make a move?"

An adjutant asked in a low voice. He looked at the Wu army retreating in front of him, and he was a little stupid swimming, and killing it at this time would definitely catch the Wu army off guard and cause heavy damage.

When the time comes, they will be able to make great achievements and be greatly rewarded by His Majesty.

Huang Zhong didn't speak, his sharp eyes scanned back and forth among the retreating soldiers and horses in the distance, hoping that he could find some clues.

"General, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we have thousands of men and horses, all of them are elite, as long as we rush out and defeat one of the soldiers and horses, we can make these Wu dogs scared and captured!"

The adjutant general saw that Huang Zhong was moving, and hurriedly agitated.

“...... The old man gave you a thousand men and horses, and went out to test it!"

Huang Zhong touched his long beard, groaned for a while, and agreed to the adjutant general's suggestion, but for the sake of caution, he only sent a thousand troops.

"Thank you, General! The Admiral will definitely defeat the current enemy!"

The adjutant general was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered a thousand men and horses, and quickly killed the demoralized Wu army not far away.

Kill!

The elite of the 1,000 Shu army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, rushing to the road in the blink of an eye, cutting off a Wu army in front of it. Start slashing and killing.

"Thief dares!"

The general of the Wu army who led this army was Xu Sheng. When he saw a Shu army attacking, he was furious, picked up a spear, and rushed towards the deputy general with his own soldiers.
