Chapter 159: The arrogant soldiers will be defeated

"What! You said that you have obtained Xiang Yu's art of war and martial arts. Han Xuan asked in surprise.

Chen Wu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I also got the Overlord Gun and the Tai'a Sword." The Tai'a sword is very powerful, but if you want to release the sword qi, you must sacrifice it with blood. ”

Chen Wu took out the Tai'a sword and handed it to Han Xuan, Han Xuan pulled out a section, looked at the smooth and translucent Tai'a sword, and said in amazement: "I didn't expect the Tai'a Sword, one of the top ten famous swords, to be so magical!" ”

Chen Wu and Lu Dai stared blankly at Han Xuan pulling out the Tai'a sword, and Chen Wu asked, "How can you pull it out?" ”

Han Xuan was confused, Lu Dai explained to him, Han Xuan refused to believe it, and handed him the Tai'a sword to the sheath.

I saw that Lu Dai held the hilt of the sword and pulled it out with all his might, but he couldn't pull it out. Han Xuan tried the Tai'a sword to Xu Sheng again, Xu Sheng pulled out the hilt of the sword, and his face was so red that he couldn't pull it out.

Han Xuan asked the others to try it again, but they couldn't pull it out, Han Xuan held his chin and said to Chen Wu, "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple. Do you still remember the 'bean-scattering into soldiers' magic used by Han Guang at the beginning? That almost turned my worldview upside down. ”

Chen Wu asked, "Are you saying that there is something greasy on the Tai'a Sword, just like Han Guang will damage Yang Shou with witchcraft?" ”

Han Xuan put the Tai'a sword on the sword stand and said to them, "In short, it's best not to use the power of the Tai'a sword lightly. ”

Xu Rong suggested: "My lord, our army is newly defeated, and it is advisable to meet the two generals Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to strengthen the momentum." ”

Han Xuan had already had this intention, and on the one hand, he sent people to take the waterway to let Huang Zhong, who was stationed in Anhui City, send elite troops to support, and let Yuzhang County raise grain and grass to send it.

Han Xuan asked Xu Sheng to lead a thousand troops and horses, and Lu Dai was appointed to join the army, leaving Xu Rong to guard the Lingling, and leading Chen Wu and other generals to lead the army to Wuhu.

Jiang Qin's Zhoutai naval army did not carry siege equipment, and it was difficult to conquer Wuhu County. They were overjoyed to see Han Xuan leading his army coming, and Han Xuan asked Chen Wu to lead five hundred archers to come forward to help first.

On the tower of the city, Xu Kun personally supervised the army to defend the city, and his subordinates had high morale and repelled several waves of attacks by Jiang Qin's Zhou Tai naval army.

The navy army is not good at attacking the city, so Han Xuan asked them to withdraw first and let the broken military camp storm the city. The shield soldiers advanced to fend off the rain of arrows from the city, and Chen Wu led five hundred archers to follow.

The soldiers who broke the barracks braved death to erect bamboo ladders to climb the city wall to attract enemy attacks, and Chen Wu took the opportunity to stand up with the archers and shot the arrows that were already on the string towards the city tower. The archers on the tower were suppressed by this rain of arrows, and many people were killed or injured by arrows.

Chen Wu pulled out the three-stone big bow, remembered Xiang Yu's experience in archery written on the book, and calmed down, not moved by the arrows that grazed beside him. Chen Wu aimed at an arrow from a military general wearing a red tassel on the city tower, and the arrow hit the general's forehead.

"General Xu!!" The soldier next to Xu Kun found that he had fallen to the ground with an arrow, and the arrow on his forehead had not entered an inch, and Xu Kun died on the spot.

Xu Kun was dead, and the defenders on the city tower were in a panic. The soldiers of the broken army camp finally stormed the city wall, and they waved their steel knives in their hands, venting their anger on the enemy army.

The blood flowed on the city tower, and Han Xuan asked Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai to lead troops to attack and support the soldiers who broke the barracks. It didn't take long for the city tower to be filled with the banner of Han Xuanjun's army, Xu Sheng opened the city gate, and Han Xuan led his troops into the city.

Except for the soldiers who were loyal to Xu Kun who were captured and executed by Han Xuanjun, the rest of them all surrendered. Han Xuan asked Xu Sheng to lead people to clean up the battlefield, the corpses on the city wall were piled up, Xu Sheng looked at the city wall stained red with blood, and stared blankly at the sunset in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"If it weren't for my entry into Jiangdong, these people would not have died. Wen Xiang, do you think so? Han Xuan walked behind Xu Sheng at some point.

Xu Sheng hurriedly bowed down and said, "General, the last general will not dare." ”

Han Xuan smiled bitterly: "This is the battlefield, and all life on the battlefield will become meaningless. Either you die or I die. Chen Wu and I also used to be weak, but this world has taught us that weakness is a sin. Only by becoming ruthless and strong can you live. ”

Xu Sheng stopped his philosophical thinking and thanked Han Xuan: "Thank you for the teachings of the lord, Sheng keep it in mind." ”

After Han Xuan occupied Wuhu, he ordered Lu Dai to lead people to strengthen the city defense, and the army recuperated. Han Xuan didn't dare to attack easily, Wanling still had Zhou Yu there, in case he took advantage of his own attack on Sun Ce's rear, he led his army to attack his rear. That's really a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind.

Sun Ce learned that Wuhu had fallen into the hands of Han Xuan, and the general Xu Kun was killed in battle, and the thunder was furious. Sun Ce sent Sun He to lead an army to attack, and Sun He was defeated by Chen Wu. Wu Jing led the army to go again, and his generals were killed by Chen Wu more than a dozen people.

Sun Ce was about to personally lead the army to recapture Wuhu, but Cheng Puli persuaded: "Lord, don't." Our army will capture Moling in a few days, and the withdrawal of troops at this time will be in vain! ”

Sun Ce did not listen to Cheng Pu's dissuasion, and led Huang Gai, Han Dang and other generals to lead a large army to attack Wuhu. Han Xuan probed his horse and found that Sun Cejun was coming, and Han Xuan urgently summoned the generals to discuss.

Chen Wu hugged his fists and said, "Big brother, I have long seen Sun Ce unpleasantly. Let me lead the army into battle, and I will let it come and go. ”

Lu Dai thought for a while, and said to Han Xuan: "My lord, General Chen can be allowed to fight." Sun Ce personally led a large army to come, and Zhou Yu was in the rear of our army, so he must have thought that our army only dared to hold on and did not dare to face the battle. General Chen can lead his elite troops to ambush on both sides of Tuling, and wait for his army to enter the road and suddenly kill, if Sun Ce's army is defenseless, he will lose his troops and lose his generals. The lord himself led a large army to meet in the west of Tuling, and even if General Chen was defeated, he could retreat with his whole body. ”

Chen Wu was a little unhappy and said: "Dinggong is too worried, and a certain subordinate has no army to be a ten. Sun Cejun is a number of surrendered soldiers and new soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is uneven. A certain self-detainted overlord inherited, but he did not meet an opponent, and this time he was about to compete with that Sun Ce. ”

Han Xuan said with a smile: "Ding Gong is familiar with military books, and he is very respectful. For the general, before thinking about victory, first thinking about defeat. Generals need to keep in mind the use of troops in the future. ”

Sun Ce's army rushed to attack, and the soldiers were in full swing, Sun Ce clenched the spear in his hand and said: "This time, I will behead Chen Wu and capture Han Xuan alive." ”

A trace of worry flashed on Huang Gai's weather-beaten face, and he said to Sun Ce: "My lord, the last general heard that Chen Wu has an elite army, called 'Wudang Army', and Chen Wu's courage is not under the lord. My lord needs to be careful! ”

Sun Ce didn't think so, and when he heard Huang Gai say this, the battle intent in his chest was even more surging. Sun Ce's army marched to Tuling, and Sima Deng Dang of the other department said to Sun Ce: "Lord, the grass and trees here are lush, and the lord should beware of Han Xuan's ambush soldiers." ”

"What my brother-in-law said is very true, and I ask the lord to take a detour." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old soldier stepped forward and said.

Deng Dang was shocked when he heard this, turned around and glanced at the little soldier, and scolded him: "Lu Meng, you are so bold, you dare to sneak into the army and go out with me." Aren't you afraid I'll go back and smash your ass? ”

Lu Meng retorted: "It is difficult to live in poverty, but it is merit to get rid of mistakes, and wealth can be achieved." But if you don't explore the tiger's den, you can get the tiger? ”

Sun Ce laughed and said, "I heard that Han Xuan was defeated by Gong Jin, and he cowered in Wuhu City and did not dare to fight. Now I am leading a large army to come, and he dares to fight? ”

Sun Ce's army entered the Tuling Trail, and the team dragged on. Chen Wu led the Wudang army to ambush on both sides, and after seeing Sun Ce's general flag enter the mountain road, Chen Wu asked the soldiers to light the hay stone balls poured with fire oil. The fireball rolled down the hillside and rushed into Sun Ce's army, igniting the grass and trees on both sides of the hillside, and many of Sun Ce's soldiers were burned to death, and they were suddenly thrown into chaos.

Sun Ce hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, line up to meet the enemy." ”

Chen Wu led the people to push down the rocks and fired arrows at Sun Cejun, who suffered heavy casualties, and the wailing spread throughout the mountains.

Most of Sun Cejun's troops were his captured Liu Xianjun's soldiers, and at this time, seeing that the army was ambushed, who was in charge of military discipline, they scattered and fled. Sun Ce pulled out the ancient ingot knife and killed several deserters, and shouted: "Those who are cowardly in the battle will not be spared!" ”

Sun Cejun began to gradually organize resistance, and the Wudang army ran out of arrows. Chen Wu rode on his war horse and raised the overlord spear, and led the army to rush down the hillside, Chen Wu and Wudang's army were like tigers down the mountain, and Sun Ce's army was defeated and retreated towards the mouth of the ridge, leaving only a corpse.
