Chapter 577: Field Entanglement

It is said that the 5,000 cavalry led by Xu Huang and the 5,000 cavalry led by Zhao Yun met in the suburbs of Hefei. Xu Huang's cavalry assaulted along the avenue, forming a long snake, but Zhao Yun's cavalry spread out on both wings, forming into the wings of the wild goose, and pecked the long snake in all directions.

Xu Huang saw the heavy losses along the way, and couldn't help but feel anxious, seeing that his cavalry torrent could not break through Zhao Yun's silver spear and white horse, he couldn't help but jump high, hold high the white tiger to split Huashan, and bombard Zhao Yun head-on.

This axe used up the strength of Xu Huang's life, plus the weight of the White Tiger Broken Giant Axe, and then superimposed on the weight of Xu Huang and the horse that sat down, like a mountain toppling, a chaotic rock collapsing, and a fierce bombardment of the steel spear in Zhao Yun's hand.

In the phantom with Zhao Yun as the center, it was originally a hundred pheasants soaring, phoenix birds and songs, and suddenly encountered a giant axe thunder, and immediately a hundred birds flew away, and the body of the hundred birds towards the phoenix spear suddenly brightened, and a stout little white dragon suddenly appeared, colliding with Xu Huang's giant axe. All the sergeants heard a loud bang in their ears, and in an instant, the nearby sergeants were full of stars in front of them, but there was a buzzing sound in their ears, and some of them who were not strong enough had already thrown away their swords and covered their ears in a daze.

After a long time, the dust that shook up the sky finally fell slowly, and the Cao army saw clearly that General Xu Huang had fallen under the horse, lying on the ground unconscious, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, pinched the person, scratched his chest, and Xu Huang finally woke up faintly. As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Zhao Yun not far away, it seemed that he was still standing in place with a light breeze, Xu Huang immediately remembered the little white dragon that was like a messenger from hell before the huge impact just now, and couldn't help but palpitate, and waved his hand in an astringent voice: "Withdraw immediately!" ”

Cao's army quickly turned into a rear army and retreated, still showing excellent qualities. Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, did not give the order to pursue, and gently lifted the reins, and the white dragon horse finally pulled the four hooves out of the deep pit. It turned out that although Xu Huang's axe failed to hurt Zhao Yun in the slightest, the huge force still made the four hooves of the white dragon horse sink deep into the soft soil, and the force of this blow was no less than five thousand catties. Fortunately, most of the huge power has been rebounded by the little white dragon, and a lot of it has been unloaded by using techniques, and the remaining power is transmitted to the horse, which will not hurt the white dragon horse of the divine horse.

Zhao Yun saw that although Xu Huang's army was killed and wounded, it was retreating but not chaotic, and it was expected that the enemy army would not be without backup, and there were still hundreds of thousands of troops behind Cao's army, who knew if there was an ambush? You can't win a battle in the field, and you can't take risks, but you still need to retreat to the fortified city to defend and save valuable soldiers.

The first contact battle ended with Zhao Yun's decisive victory, and although the injured Xu Huang failed to contact the defense of Heqi City, it had been determined that there were Zhao Yun's troops under Heqi City, which basically confirmed the fact that the Qinglong strong army attacked Heqi, and it could be regarded as a gain. Xu Huang was not allowed to inspect the internal injuries, so he ordered him to retreat thirty miles and camp to rest, build a bridgehead for counterattack on the side of the tributary of the Nanqishui River, and control a wooden bridge that must be passed. At the same time, the heralds had already scattered and sent the troops, including the lord of Jiangxia, to Heqi City to confirm the news of the attack.

The news spread quickly and immediately caused the first wave of panic. Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Lejin's troops immediately began a frantic attack on Lujiang City, Yu Ban's troops began to detain a large number of fishing boats in Chaohu Lake, and Wang Ping's troops did their best to protect their military rations, which were the only support of the whole army, and must be distributed fairly in accordance with the order, and must not be coaxed by their own troops.

It can be said that the panic caused the five-way Cao army to have a directional divergence, the troops led by Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Le Jin naturally thought that the Lujiang River should be stormed, and Yu Ban, Xu Huang, and Wang Ping thought that it was necessary to counterattack Hexi, and it was fundamental to stabilize the grain road in the rear. Whether it is the attack on Lujiang or the counterattack on Hexi, as long as there is success along the way, it can actually solve the problem. However, the biggest problem is that it is difficult to capture the Lujiang River guarded by Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang in the short term, or to capture Zhao Yun's newly acquired Heqi.

The field troops arranged by Zhou Yu, under the leadership of several Jiangdong generals, took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and the speed advantage of the light cavalry to entangle around the siege troops of Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Lejin like flies. The soldiers did not sleep well, and they were forced to attack the city in succession, and they were worried about tomorrow's food and grass, and their morale fell like a bottomless pit.

On the north tower of the Lujiang River, the smoke of the war has not yet dissipated, just experienced another round of strong attack by the Cao army, the city tower is full of charred corpses of the Cao army, the smell of corpses fills the four fields, and the smoke and dust are all over the sky. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang stood on top of the city together, watching the dense crowd of people send the materials to defend the city to the city, and their eyes extended beyond the smoke of gunpowder in the distance, and the war drums of the Cao army rose again, this time it should be Cao Hong's troops to attack the city in rotation.

This sleepless siege had lasted for a whole day and a night, and although the defenders were extremely tired, the besiegers suffered heavy losses. Zhuge Liang pointed the feather fan forward and said: "Gong Jin, Cao's army has broken off its grain and grass, and this offensive is not as good as one round." ”

Zhou Yu squinted his handsome eyes, covering his blood-red pupils, he had not slept for a day and a night, but his spirit was still as usual. After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, he smiled and said, "Kong Ming! Do you know how happy I am to be able to regain the bloody battle of Lujiang without losing it, and to be able to guide the country with Kong Ming at this moment. ”

Zhuge Liang's feather fan returned to his chest and shook slightly, and the three locks of black hair that had just been left fluttered slightly, adding a sense of immortal energy, just smiling and not saying a word. Sure enough, Zhou Yu saw that Zhuge Liang didn't speak, and continued: "I heard that Kong Ming's two sisters are both naturally beautiful and ice and snow smart, and I have built a healthy clan, from Wu Guotai to Sun Xiaomei, and they all love the two of them very much. If Kong Ming doesn't object, let them stay in Jiankang forever! I asked the lord to choose a good husband for them and get a lifetime of happiness, which also symbolizes that my Jiangdong Army and the Qinglong Army will always form an alliance, I don't know what Kong Ming wants? ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing, but he destroyed the immortal qi, and responded: "The smoke of gunpowder has not dissipated, Gongjin is already seeking a lifetime of happiness for my two sisters, Kong Ming is really grateful." It's a pity that when it comes to choosing a husband, my two sisters have always only admired General Bo Fu and Governor Gong Jin, and if they want to marry Bo Fu and Gong Jin, I'm afraid that even if I oppose it, it will be invalid. ”

Zhou Yu didn't expect to talk about himself, and couldn't help but be embarrassed and said: "Kong Ming said that he was laughing!" Ruoxue and Mengxue are both national colors in the world, and no man will bear to shake his head and refuse. It's a pity that Bo Fu and I have already made an appointment to marry Qiao Guolao's two daughters, and we will get married after the war, so we can only have a fate with your two sisters. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, pointed his feather fan at the sky again, and said, "It turns out that Bo Fu and Gong Jin have this good agreement!" The big Qiao and Xiao Qiao sisters are indeed my pity, no wonder my beautiful mothers are full of praise for their sisters! When the war is over, I will personally take Bo Fu and Gong Jin to Xiangyang to marry Er Qiao! ”

Zhuge Liang held a feather fan in his hand, pointing in the direction of Xiangyang, Zhou Yu's face was already gloomy and dripping water, this Erxue and Erqiao were really evenly matched in terms of hostages, I didn't expect that because of my busy military affairs, I neglected the protection of Erqiao, and was secretly abducted by Zhuge Liang and went to Xiangyang, naturally I was not afraid that Zhou Yu and Lu Meng would put Erxue under house arrest as a hostage, and Jiangdong Jun would not want to take any advantage because of the hostages.

Zhou Yu's eyes had already narrowed into a slit, and he pointed to the city and said angrily: "Look! Another wave of the Cao army's offensive is coming! This time it's your turn to go to the city and throw wood down! Kong Ming, go and organize. But he gritted his teeth and scolded in his heart: "I slaughtered Lu Meng, a stupid pig, sooner or later!" ”
