Chapter 198: Going for the Top?
Zhou Yu agreed with He Qi's opinion and first taught He Qi to lead 3,000 soldiers to attack Yu Qian. A spy from the Shadow Tiger Army had already reported to Han Xuan, and Han Xuan discussed with Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao said: "Yu Qian has failed, and Zhou Yu's army has driven straight into Danyang County, and it is useless to keep his hometown. It is advisable to save it quickly. β
Han Xuan ordered Xu Sheng and Xu Rong to secretly lead troops to rescue Lu Dai. Xu Rong first sent someone to ride a meteor horse to inform Lu Dai and let him go out of the city to lure the enemy. He Qi led his troops to the city, and LΓΌ Dai went out of the city to confront He Qi.
The two armies fought, and Lu Dai feigned defeat and left. He Qi captured Yu Qian. At dusk, Xu Sheng and Xu Rong gathered all the troops and horses from the Tuntian Department and rushed to the scene, and joined forces with Lu Dai, a total of nearly 10,000 people surrounded Yu Qian.
Zhou Yujun probed Ma Fei to report to Zhou Yu, saying that He Qi was trapped in the hidden city, and Zhou Yu was shocked. Cheng Zhi said: "The general can quickly divide his troops to save him." β
Zhou Yu sighed: "Our army's Dazhai is in the right place to rush, if we divide our troops to rescue He Qi, if Han Xuan leads troops to attack, what can I do?" β
Huang Bing said: "On the occasion of employing people today, He Qi is a general, how can he not save it? β
Zhou Yu sighed: "I want to go and save him in person; But who is left here to take my place? β
Huang Bing thought for a while and said: "The last general is the general of Sun Bofu's general, Quan Rou, who is in Wucheng, leaving him to resist Han Xuan. I was the forerunner with Cheng Advisory, and the general was cut off; It doesn't take ten days to play a triumphant song. β
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know if General Quan is willing to take my place temporarily?" β
Zhou Yu sent someone to Wucheng to invite Quan Rou, and Quan Rou said: "If it is for ten days, a certain person can be Han Xuan; Outside of ten days, I will not be able to do my job. β
Zhou Yu was overjoyed, so he left more than 10,000 soldiers and delivered Quanrou; On the same day, 10,000 troops were thrown into the sneak. Huang Bing not only inherited Huang Gai's martial arts, but also outperformed the blue, was familiar with military books, and was quite wise.
Huang Bing said to Zhou Yu: "There is a remote road in the south of Tianmu Mountain, and it is very convenient to take Danyang County. And he sent five hundred soldiers to cut down the trees to cut down the way. If Han Xuanjun is defeated, he will take this road; If the horse cannot walk, it will forsake it. Our army can also get its horses. β
Zhou Yu's army lacked war horses, so he followed Huang Bing's advice and sent a sergeant to cut down trees.
When Zhou Yu's army was about to arrive at Yu Qian, Zhou Yu asked, "Who can break through to save He Qi?" β
Cheng Zhi was willing to go, and immediately took a halberd and rode his horse, leading the army to kill directly into Han Xuan's army, Xu Sheng was just about to come to block it in person, and Cheng Zhi had already led the army to the city. He Qi saw Cheng Zhi coming, and personally led his troops out of the city to meet him.
Cheng Zhi said: "General Zhou Yu personally raised troops to rescue. β
He Qi gave an order, taught the sergeant to organize his weapons, eat a full meal, and prepare to make an internal response for Zhou Yujun. However, it was said that Lu Dai, Xu Rong, and Xu Sheng heard that Zhou Yubing was coming, so they first sent people to their hometowns to report to Han Xuan, and divided their troops to resist the enemy.
When Zhou Yujun came, Han Xuanbing attacked. The two armies clashed, Cheng Zhi and Huang Bing fought in two ways, and Xu Sheng and Xu Rong each led an army to the enemy.
Cheng Zhi stabbed at Xu Rong with a halberd, Xu Rong stood with a long sword, Xu Rong stabbed Cheng Cheng sideways with a sword to sit down on the war horse, Cheng Zhi turned the horse's head to avoid it. The two returned to fight again, and the battle was more than ten times.
Huang Bing took his father Huang Gai's steel whip and hit Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng picked it up with a gun, and the two wrestled. Xu Sheng relied on the length advantage of the spear to draw with Huang Bingkan.
Zhou Yu personally led a large army to help, Han Xuan's army was in chaos, and Zhou Yu's army was killed. Han Xuanjun threw a corpse on the ground, and Lu Dai, Xu Sheng, and Xu Rong really threw themselves into the path.
Xu Rong saw that the path in front of him was filled with trees, and the war horses could not pass, so he had to let the soldiers abandon their horses and leave. Zhou Yujun obtained more than 500 horses.
Zhou Yu drove his troops to Wanling, the city of Danyang County, at night, and met Han Xuanjun to rescue Wanling. The two armies then engaged in a scuffle. It was getting late, and Han Xuan was also afraid of hurting his own soldiers and horses, so Zhou Yu and Han Xuan each collected their troops.
Han Xuan returned to the city and consulted with the generals, and Chen Qun said: "Now that I have lost the potential, the situation is critical. Why don't you order someone to call Sun Ce and blackmail Zhou Yujun to solve this crisis? β
Han Xuan shook his head and said, "What Changwen said is really a good idea. β
Zhang Zhao suggested: "The soldiers in all counties of Danyang are all Tuntian Army, and their combat power is not strong, so you can teach General Huang Zhong to return to the division to rescue quickly!" β
Zhong Xuan vetoed Zhang Zhao and sighed: "Far water can't quench your thirst, I don't know what the lord's plan is?" β
Han Xuan racked his brains and couldn't come up with it, he still lacked a strategist who could match Zhou Yu!
Han Xuan came to the city tower to observe the enemy's situation, Zhou Yu's army was in order, and Han Xuan saw He Qi's subordinates, all of whom were wearing iron armor and were particularly well-armed. No wonder they can be rivals with Chen Wu's army.
The two guards were discussing in a whisper, and Han Xuan quietly hid aside to eavesdrop. One person said: "I heard that General Huang Zhong in the north has withdrawn his troops to help, and Sun Ben's army is also ready to move, and will come to support Zhou Yu at any time." It seems that there will be a fierce battle in Wanling City. β
Another soldier pestled his spear and sighed, "Yes, I don't know how many people died in this battle." I don't think it's as good as ours ......."
The two whispered that they would take advantage of the chaos to escape. Han Xuan approached them and heard that they were going to be deserters, and an inspiration suddenly came to his mind, and Han Xuan clapped his hands in surprise.
The two soldiers were frightened, and when they saw Han Xuan behind them, they must have heard their conversation, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "General, I don't dare to flee in battle, beg the general to spare my life!" β
Han Xuan smiled and said, "Haha, thirty-six plans, go for the best plan!" β
The two soldiers were confused, not knowing what Han Xuan said, Han Xuan came to his senses and said to them: "Get up, go down and receive the reward!" β
They were even more puzzled, how could they be rewarded instead of being punished when they were supposed to be deserters? They received the bounty in a daze, and Han Xuan came up with a plan to break the enemy and summoned the generals to give military orders.
Han Xuan ordered the whole army to cook five watches; At the dawn of the day, all the armies and horses abandoned the city; The city was full of flags and bluffs, and the army went out in three ways.
Zhou Yu rescued He Qi, and Chen soldiers were outside Wanling City. Seeing Han Xuanbing coming out in three doors, Zhou Yu went to the general stage to watch. I saw a flag planted on the side of the female wall, and no one guarded it; I also saw that Sergeant Han Xuan was bound and wrapped under his waist.
Zhou Yu secretly thought to himself that Han Xuan must be ready to walk first, so he ordered the generals to distribute the two armies as the left and right flanks. If the advance army is victorious, they will only chase forward until the time of Mingjin, and then they will be allowed to retreat.
Ordered Cheng to consult the rear army, and Zhou Yu personally led the army to take the city. At the sound of the drums, Xu Sheng went out to fight, and Zhou Yu personally went to the door to let Cheng Zhi go out and fight with Xu Sheng; The two fought to more than 30 times, and Xu Sheng was defeated.
Xu Rong came out to fight, and Huang Bing greeted him; After more than ten fights, Xu Rong was defeated. Han Xuan's army was in a disorderly position, and the two wings of Zhou Yu's army were killed, and Han Xuan's army was defeated.
Zhou Yu personally led the army and horses to chase to the city of Wanling, but Han Xuanjun did not enter the city and went to the northwest. Cheng Shi and Huang Bingyin tried their best to catch up. Zhou Yu saw that the gate of Wanling was wide open and there was no one in the city, so he ordered the army to seize the city.
Dozens of cavalry entered first, and Zhou Yu whipped his horse behind his back and went straight into the city. Zhou Yu saw Han Xuan on the city tower and shouted: "It's not good, it's Wengcheng, get out quickly!" β
Zhang Zhao, Zhong Xuan, and Chen Qun saw Zhou Yu enter the city in person, and cheered: "The lord's clever plan is like a god!" β
There was a bang, and the bows and crossbows on both sides were fired in unison, like a shower. Lieutenant General Zhou Yujun rushed to enter the city first, but they all fell into the pit. When Zhou Yu hurriedly reined in his horse and walked back, Gan Ning had already aimed at Zhou Yu on the tower of the urn city, and an arrow shot at Zhou Yu's left ribs, and Zhou Yu turned over and fell off the horse.
Zhou Tai came out of the urn city to capture Zhou Yu; He Qi led his troops to sacrifice his life to save him. Han Xuan's army in the city suddenly killed, Zhou Yu's soldiers trampled on each other, and countless people fell into the trench. When Cheng Zhi and Huang Bing hurriedly collected their troops, Xu Sheng and Xu Rong divided their troops and returned from two ways.
Zhou Yu's army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, the general of the Quanrou faction, Fei Lan, rushed to the rescue, and Fei Lan led an army to kill from the thorn and intercept Han Xuanbing. Han Xuanjun returned to the city with a great victory, and Cheng Zhi and Huang Bing collected the defeated army and returned to the village.
