In front of Zhou Yu's camp.

An army of 20,000 marched in formation.

Zhang Jaw slowly stepped forward and raised his knife and shouted: "Drum challenge!" ”

Knock knock

Roar! Roar!

Heehi

The soldiers raised their weapons in their hands and let out an earth-shattering roar, and the magnificent momentum soared into the sky. The eleven mammoths in front of the military formation also pricked up their long snouts and barked.

Such a special elite, standing in front of the formation, gives people a feeling and visual impact that cannot be described in words.

The drumming continued for a while.

There was no movement in the wall, and there were no soldiers guarding the village to prepare for battle, standing guard and patrolling, as if they did not see the enemy troops outside the wall. It's weird.

Zhang Jaw retreated: "Lord, what is Zhou Yu doing?" ”

"He may not be in the camp." Yuan Xidao.

"Huh? How can it be? The scouts I sent reported one after another, Zhou Yu led the army out of the camp first, and then returned to the camp, and the scouts saw it clearly, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. ”

Yuan Xi said: "He wants to be in the camp, and the guards can't be so lax." I bet there are no more than five thousand enemy troops in the wall. The rest of the enemy army went outside the camp. ”

"What is Zhou Yu's purpose in doing this?" Zhang Jaw guessed: "He wants to lure us into attacking the village?" In fact, the ambush has been set up in the village, just waiting for us to break in, causing us to lose our troops. ”

"It's possible."

Considering that Zhou Yu's camp was too large and backed by a mountain, it was easy to ambush the troops, Yuan Xi strictly ordered all armies not to act rashly.

Da-da-da-da

Ran from the left side and rode on: "Lord, go five miles to the south and find Zhou Yu's army." ”

"How many are there?" ”

"Because the fog is too big, I can't really see it, and I only see Zhou Yu's flag. They came towards our formation. ”

"Order the Youzhou Elite Cavalry to fight." Zhang Jaw called the herald under his command.

"Wait." After the Battle of Guangling Port, Yuan Xi was particularly cautious, always beware of the enemy luring the enemy and encircling and annihilating him, but now the enemy situation is unknown, and he doesn't even know where Zhou Yu is, how can he send troops?

Yuan Xi said: "No one is allowed to move. Order the army on the left flank to stand in place. ”

"I'll go check first."

Yuan Xi rode the four sides to the south.

Five miles away, you can reach it in one go.

There was indeed an army here, not very many, about two thousand or so. Consists of shield soldiers and archers. There were no cavalry, and no pikemen. There were many banners of Zhou Yu in the queue, and a general led by him looked very much like Zhou Yu, Yuan Xi wanted to see the real thing, but the fog was too big to see it.

Worried about being discovered by the enemy and attracting arrows, Yuan Xi didn't dare to get too close to the ground.

"It's just two thousand, and it doesn't hurt to fight." Yuan Xi returned to the military formation and ordered: "Solid." Command you to lead five hundred horsemen against the enemy from the south. ”

"Five or five hundred." He opened his mouth and said in embarrassment: "Lord, is this too little?" ”

"I've already gone to see it, there aren't many enemy troops, and if you take five hundred horsemen forward, you'll definitely win."

"Yes."

I don't know the bottom of my heart, but I can't help but go.

Zhang Jaw arched his hand and said: "Lord, the last general will lead the wolf cavalry army to sweep the formation, once the general is defeated, the last general will save the defeat." ”

Yuan Xi said: "No need. The enemy was only 2,000, mostly shield soldiers and archers, and they were by no means the opponents of Youzhou Jingcai. There is another important reason why I let the five hundred horsemen go with him. I suspect that Zhou Yu wants to divide my forces. He wanted to split it up. I'm not going to be fooled by him. General Zhangjaw, I solemnly tell you again, no one is allowed to attack without my orders. ”

"Yes."

He led five hundred elite horsemen and went south to kill.

Soon encountered the 2,000 Jiangdong Army.

"Kill." Charge with all your might.

"Meet the enemy!" The Jiangdong army lined up in formation, blocking the cavalry's attack with dense shields, and firing bows and arrows inside. If the troops brought by the solid are thousands, these rounds of fire will destroy at least hundreds of cavalry. Ran Langu had only brought a total of 500 men, almost all of whom had crashed into the shields, and those bows and arrows had shot over the head, and they were not hurt at all.

Boom, boom, boom

The impact of the cavalry, which was very terrifying, crashed into the shield array and pulled a gap.

Langu rushed in along the gap: "Kill." ”

"Withdraw!"

The Jiangdong Army's formation was dispersed, and the general who led the team (the one who looked like Zhou Yu) ordered the whole army to retreat. Under his leadership, the Koto Army ran to the south.

Stubborn and relentless.

"Governor, the enemy is coming." On a hillside not far to the south, Huang Gai reported to the court.

"How many are there?"

"About five hundred."

"So little?" Zhou Yu frowned lightly: "We sent two thousand people to lure the enemy, but we only attracted five hundred cavalry. Yuan Xi is too confident. Five hundred, two thousand or the enemy? ”

General Huang Gai said: "Don't forget, the Metropolitan Governor, Yuan Xi has a flying horse, he has scouted in advance and knows the reality of our army. ”

Zhou Yu said: "That's why I'm angry. He knew that there were 2,000 enemy troops in the south, and he sent 500 cavalry to deal with them, but he really didn't take me seriously. Gong Fu, you go and give an order again, from General Cheng Pu, draw a thousand cavalry, join Jiang Qin's thousand chariots, and kill from the east. General Cheng Pu led the remaining soldiers and horses of his headquarters to surround him from the west, and remember, do not fight hard with the enemy. Their purpose was to divide and disperse Yuan's army. ”

"Yes."

Huang Gai went to the herald.

The 500 cavalry of the old man was still chasing south.

He didn't seem to realize that he had entered Zhou Yu's ambush circle. Fortunately, Zhou Yu did not order an ambush, but strictly ordered the two thousand soldiers to stop and meet Lang Gu and defeat him on the spot.

The battle was fought very hard and tragically.

Two thousand Jiangdong Army vs five hundred Youzhou elite cavalry.

Although at the beginning, the Jiangdong Army was at a disadvantage and was chased and killed all the way, but later when they stabilized their position and counterattacked, their true strength was exposed.

It took half an hour, but it was evenly divided.

Whew

Just when the cavalry of the old man was about to be annihilated, Yuan Xi's four inconsistencies rushed to the scene and rescued the old man.

Back to the front of the village.

He Gu said in a continuous voice: "Thank you, lord." ”

"After this battle, what do you think of the combat power of the Jiangdong Army?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Very strong!"

"At the beginning of the fight, they didn't use all their strength, obviously luring me into the army. Then, five miles away, they suddenly stopped and fought us on the spot. This time they used all their strength, and the five hundred cavalry of the last general were wiped out one after another. Of course, their casualties are not small, they should be less than a thousand. ”

"That is, a tie?"

"Ugh." He replied, "Yes, the last will be guilty. ”

"You brought few soldiers and horses, and you didn't win, so it's no wonder you. General Langu, you should step back and go to the rear to rest for a while. Yuan Xi waved his hand.
