Chapter 42: Capture the Dragon
Han Xuan realized the seriousness of the problem, Sun Quan didn't care enough about this sister on the surface, but in fact, he was a sister control. If Sun Shangxiang has any accidents, then Sun Quan will inevitably settle accounts with himself, although Han Xuan is not afraid at all, but this will make Wu Jun uneasy.
Han Xuan then personally led an army of 100,000 troops to aid Liu Bei, with Chen Wu as the general, Gan Ning as the vanguard, and Pang Tong as the military advisor, and led LΓΌ Meng, Ling Tong, Xian Yudan, Tai Shixiang, Huang Xu, etc. to merge land and water into Chaonan County.
In order to alleviate the pressure on Liu Bei's defense, Han Xuan first sent Lu Xun, who was closer, to lead troops to help in the battle. Liu Bei fought against Liu Du's 200,000 army, which lasted for more than three months, Liu Bei's army lost troops and lost generals, and the grain and grass were also consumed very much.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu supervised Jiangling, and worked closely with Zhang Fei and Sun Quan, although Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu had many strange tricks, they were all recognized by Zhou Yu. Zhuge Liang also found it very tricky, and he met the strongest opponent since Izutakaka.
In July, Han Xuan's vanguard army Gan Ning had arrived at the city of Jiangling. Liu Du sent the king of Fan, Shamoke, to lead the barbarian soldiers to intercept, and Shamoke and Gan Ning fought 20 times without winning or losing. Although the barbarians fought bravely, they encountered the crossbow of Han Xuan's army and suffered heavy casualties.
Shamoke was defeated and retreated, Liu Du was furious and ordered Zhao Yun to lead the army to Ganning. Gan Ning knew that Zhao Yun's martial arts were strong, so he didn't dare to go out lightly, so he only sent rangers to attack and harass Zhao Yun's camp. But Gan Ning didn't know that his opponent was the best at harassing the white horse, and Gan Ning not only didn't get a bargain, but also lost a lot of soldiers and horses.
Gan Ning ordered someone to repay Han Xuan, and Han Xuan urgently ordered Gan Ning to stick to the camp and not fight with Zhao Yun. Han Xuanhou's army stepped up the march, sent LΓΌ Meng to lead the water army to rescue Guan Yu, and urged Zhang Zhao to step up the supervision of the transportation of grain and grass.
Han Xuan's army arrived at the city of Jiangling, and Liu Du led the army out of the battle, and the two formations were in a circle. Han Xuan stepped out, and Liu Du said: "Han Xuan, I didn't want to be your enemy. Liu Bei invaded my state and county, killed my general, and I raised the army only to take revenge, why did you help Liu Bei? β
Han Xuan smiled and said: "Liu Du, you pretended to be a member of the Han family and arrogated to be the king." You are insatiable, you take Xichuan, and you want to take Jingzhou. You sheltered Li Dao, Li Ru and other court traitors, which is really rebellious. I have led the army here today, and you should not surrender early, lest your lives be ruined! β
Liu Du was furious, so Zhao Yun went out and led the army to take Han Xuan. Han Xuan waved the command flag, and the army changed formations, wrapping Zhao Yun's military horse in the formation.
Zhao Yun burst into the formation, only to see spears and halberds everywhere like forests, and there seemed to be thousands of troops and horses in the dust. Zhao Yun saw the banner of Han Xuanzhong's army, led the army to rush over, the military formation changed rapidly, and suddenly hid Han Xuanzhong's army again.
At this time, Zhao Yundong's drums sounded loudly, and Tai Shixiang led the crossbowmen to ambush in the formation, shooting at Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses, and there were countless arrows. Zhao Yun was furious, and slapped his horse and speared to take Tai Shixiang, but was stopped by a large group of heavy shield soldiers.
Xian Yu Dan urged the horse to come forward and confront Zhao Yun three times, and then left. Zhao Yun hurriedly pursued, and Ling Tong led another army to kill him. Ling Tong led hundreds of tiger soldiers and Zhao Yun's White Horse Yicong fought fiercely for a while, and both sides were killed and wounded.
Ling Tong raised his sword and fought with Zhao Yun for fifteen battles, and gradually lost to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun suddenly stabbed at Ling Tong's eyebrows, but was split by a horizontal knife.
Zhao Yun fixed his eyes on the general, the person was wearing a chain of gold armor, holding a coiled dragon sword, although he still lacked the tempering of the battle array, he could see that he had a deep foundation in martial arts.
Ling Tong saw it and thanked him: "Brother Huang Xu, thank you for saving me." β
Huang Xu nodded slightly, and the Panlong Bagua Knife Technique was unleashed, directly taking Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was also forced to use the Seven Probe Snake Disc Gun, Zhao Yun's spear was powerful, but Huang Xu's knife technique was also leaky.
The two fought for thirty rounds without a victory, and Ling Tong was just about to step forward to help in the battle, but when he saw a drum sounding, Ling Tong and Huang Xu hurriedly led the army to retreat. Zhao Yun continued to pursue, but was surrounded by Han Xuan's formation.
Walking to the northeast corner of the large array, there were less than 1,000 sergeants around Zhao Yun. At the beginning of the spear and shield soldiers in front, a general stepped out of the horse, and the man rode a black and shiny black horse, wearing a flowing cloud armor, and carrying a heavenly dragon to break the city halberd, so not majestic.
He pointed at Zhao Yun and shouted: "I am Jiangdong General Chen Wu, Zhao Zilong, do you dare to fight with me?" β
"Why don't you dare? Look at the guns! Zhao Yun stepped forward and directly used the Seven Probe Snake Coiling Gun, and the spear came like a storm.
Chen Wu was only in place, sitting down and rubbing the horse's hooves, waiting for the other party to rush over. When the gentian bright silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand danced, the cold stars were dotted, the silver light was shining, and the water could not enter.
But Chen Wu only closed his eyes, felt the qi emitted by the body of the gun, and found the weak point of Zhao Yun's marksmanship in the thousands of wisps, and Chen Wu only used a halberd to dissolve Zhao Yun's bells and whistles marksmanship.
Zhao Yun was shocked, he never expected that Chen Wu would be able to block his self-created Seven Probe Snake Disc Marksmanship with his eyes closed.
Zhao Yun didn't know the bottom in his heart, and the spear in his hand still stabbed out one after another, but Chen Wu seemed to be able to catch the direction of his move in advance, and his spear momentum was defused every time.
Zhao Yun and Chen Wu fought for more than fifty battles, and the previous battle made Zhao Yun's physical strength lose rapidly at this time. Zhao Yun realized that if he couldn't solve it quickly, then he might have to fold here this time.
So Zhao Yun made a killer move, jumped into the air from the horse, and the spear shook out seventy-two types and attacked Chen Wu directly. Chen Wu seized this opportunity, and the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of arc: "Flaws, many flaws!" β
Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this, it's terrible! It is already the limit to make 72 changes in marksmanship in the air, and it is completely too late to do other actions.
Zhao Yun could only struggle to move his body away from Chen Wu, but when he saw Chen Wu only swept towards him with a halberd, Zhao Yun suddenly shot and pushed it away. Zhao Yun also fell to the ground, and the sergeants hurriedly stepped forward to help, but were stopped by Chen Wu's Wudang army.
Zhao Yun just stood up, but saw that the tip of Chen Wu's long halberd had already reached his throat. Chen Wu laughed and said, "Guan Hai, tie up the enemy general for me!" β
Zhao Yun still wanted to resist, but was stopped by Guan Hai and several strong men, Guan Hai tied Zhao Yun with a rope, and still scolded: "Thief general, let me go!" I want to fight you to the death, I, Zhao Yun, would rather die standing than live on my knees! β
Chen Wu smiled at him and said, "You are already sleepy, how can you fight me again?" Bring it to me! β
The sergeants escorted Zhao Yun to the Chinese army to meet Han Xuan, and Chen Wu ordered the rest of Zhao Yun's troops to land in force. At this moment, Han Xuan's entire array suddenly quieted down, while Liu Du and Zhuge Liang, who were standing on the observation platform, were anxious.
The sentinel in front reported that Han Xuan did not see Zhao Yun come out of the array, and no one under Zhao Yun's command came out. Zhuge Liang looked at Han Xuan's formation, and also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "What kind of formation is this?" It's even more powerful than the Eight Formations I've learned! β
Liu Du spread his hands and said, "Don't talk about this, I'm worried about Zilong's safety!" β
Liu Du came to the front of the army under the escort of Pan Feng, Zhang Ren and other generals, and Han Xuan and Chen Wu also walked out of the big array, but they were also followed by a general in white robe and silver armor who was bound.
Zhao Yunshang was reflecting on the fierce battle with Chen Wu before, and his trick Flying Dragon should not be a problem in the sky, so he asked Chen Wudao: "Chen Wu, when I used my killer move, did you really find my flaws?" β
"Hahahaha~ No. I lied to you! Chen Wu grimaced at Zhao Yun.
"You ......" Zhao Yun was furious when he heard this, but he still couldn't break free from the rope.
Han Xuan asked Zhao Yun to be brought to the front of the formation, and shouted at Liu Du: "Liu Du! Your most relied on general, Zhao Yun, has been captured by me, what are you going to fight me with? β
"Zilong!" Liu Du looked at Zhao Yun and exclaimed.
Zhao Yun looked at Liu Du and shouted loudly: "Lord! Leave me alone. Quickly wave the army to cover up, capture this thief, and avenge me! β
Pan Feng beside Liu Du was eager to try the axe, Liu Du glared at him and shouted, "Stand down!" Command all the armies, and no one is allowed to act without our army. Violators will be killed! β
Liu Du then asked Han Xuan, "Han Xuan, what do you want?" β
"As long as you withdraw your troops, I guarantee that Zhao Yun is safe and sound. If you dare to urge the army to take a step forward, I will let Zhao Yun's head fall to the ground in an instant! Han Xuan pressed his sword and shouted at Liu Du.
"Good! I promise you. Liu Du immediately ordered the whole army to retreat twenty miles back and camp, and Han Xuan also led the army back to the village.
In Liu Du's military camp, Sun Shangxiang, who was being detained, looked at Liu Du with a deflated expression on his face, and sneered: "How? Lost the battle, right? β
Liu Du was silent and didn't speak, but at this time, he saw Zhang Ren say to Sun Shangxiang: "The king retired from the army in order to save Zhao Zilong's life. The king is so benevolent and righteous, we are willing to serve the king to the death! β
Sun Shangxiang looked at Liu Du, who was deep in thought, and was unconsciously attracted to him, she didn't expect that the man in front of her seemed to be very deep in the city, but he was so affectionate.
