Chapter 807: The Battle of Jiangxia (Part II)

"Ziyi !!!"

Finally, Huang Zhong came to kill, and Tai Shici was a bloody scene, and he was shocked to see it. Huang Zhong swung his sword, tore through a bloody road, and killed the Jiangdong soldiers and horses behind Tai Shici. Tai Shi Ci fought Zhou Tai to the death, Huang Zhong saw that he was covered in bruises and blood, and he was afraid that he would lose, so he shouted urgently.

"Ziyi, don't be entangled anymore, quickly fight me out of the encirclement!!"

Tai Shi Ci attacked fiercely, and Zhou Tai was injured by him in several places, and his heart was terrified. When Tai Shici heard this, he hurriedly shot a Jiangdong general and took his horse. Huang Zhong rushed over, the two fought and left, killing wildly, and no one dared to stop them wherever they went. Zhou Tai, including the Jiangdong generals around him, saw that Huang Zhong and Tai Shici were about to break through, so they came back to their senses.

Zhou Tai's face twitched, looking at Tai Shici's blood-red figure, his eyes were complicated, and he couldn't help but praise.

"Taishi Ziyi is really a blood lion!"

So far, after the First World War, the people of Jiangdong all called Tai Shici 'Blood Lion'. Huang Zhong escorted Tai Shici back to Xiling, Zhou Tai chased all the way, and Kuai Liang in the city seemed to have expected this, and urgently ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and put down the drawbridge. Huang Zhong and Tai Shici and a group of remnants of soldiers poured into the city. Zhou Tai chased after him, and the city saw arrows falling like a shower. Zhou Tai did not dare to attack, so he had no choice but to collect his troops and return to the camp.

Although Zhou Tai borrowed Lu Su's strategy, he won the next game. However, the soldiers under his command were more afraid of Huang and Taishi, and the morale of the army was still low. On the contrary, Tai Shici is brave today, spreading all over Xiling City, and the soldiers and civilians are all infected by its blood, and they all have the intention of fighting to the death.

After this battle, Xilingcheng only had more than 7,000 soldiers and horses left. Due to the previous defeat and Xu Sheng's previous heavy loss, the Jiangdong soldiers lost nearly 10,000 troops before and after, and there were still more than 20,000 Jiangdong troops at this time. At the same time, although Tai Shici was seriously injured, Zhou Tai was also injured, and Xu Sheng was even more seriously ill in bed and could not go into battle in armor at all. In Jiangling City, there is still Huang Zhong, a peerless and extraordinary general, although the Jiangdong Army is numerous, no one can stop Huang Zhong's might.

A few days later, Huang Zhong followed Kuailiang's words and fought in front of Jiangdong Village. Although his army has few soldiers, its morale is like a rainbow, and it is led by Huang Zhong. Zhou Tai was injured and would not be driven out for the time being. Huang Zhong divided his troops, took turns to scold, and ruined the three generations of the Sun family. Sun Jian died at the hands of Huang Zhong, the enemy who came up and down Jiangdong.

At this time, Huang Zhong was so arrogant and rampant, Zhou Tai couldn't bear it anymore, and drank angrily.

"If I don't kill this old horseman, I'd rather die here!!!"

After Zhou Tai finished drinking, he rushed out of the tent and wanted to order troops to fight. Lu Su admonished and blocked, only saying that this was the radical general of the other army, if Zhou Tai went to war, it would be in the arms of Huang Zhong. What's more, at this time, the generals in the army are either killed or injured, if even Zhou Tai has any case, there is no general in the army, and it will be wiped out.

Zhou Tai heard it badly, so he had to hold back his anger. The sergeants in Lu Su's village must not fight easily and stick to the camp. There are more bows and crossbows on the two walls, if Jiangxia soldiers and horses come to attack the camp, only the bow and crossbow can be blocked. The congregation will obey and make preparations.

Huang Zhong scolded for several days, and saw that the Jiangdong soldiers and horses still did not fight, and there was nothing to be done, so he had to order the soldiers and horses to rest in the city and wait and see the situation, and at the same time, he urgently sent a letter to Nanjun to inform Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang of the battle situation in Jiangxia.

On the other side, Zhou Tai also discussed with Lu Su under the tent. Lu Su bowed his hand and said.

"The current war situation is unfavorable, and it must not be taken lightly. Fortunately, the Metropolitan Governor had predicted earlier that the wars in Jiangxia and Nanjun would be difficult to conquer because of the presence of famous generals. Therefore, the two generals Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were ordered to send troops to help as soon as they conquered Guiyang and Changfa. General Zhou should first stabilize the army's heart, endure humiliation, stick to the camp, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, gather elite soldiers, and then make plans! ”

When Zhou Tai heard this, his face sank, and he pondered for a while, but he still bowed his head and said.

"What the military advisor said is extremely true. In this way, I will make that Huang Hansheng arrogant for a while! ”

The war in Jiangxia has reached a stalemate for the time being. In the meantime, let's take a look at the battle in South County.

In Jiangling City, since Sun Ce led the troops to settle in, he gathered more than 16,000 soldiers of the Cai family, and the strength reached 40,000 or 50,000 people. And Zhuge Liang ordered Zhang Fei to abandon the northern camp, beware of Sun Ce's troops to break through each one, and gather troops in the eastern camp, with more than 25,000 troops. Jiangdong's troops were almost twice as strong as Liu's army, and Liu Bei was jealous, worried about the Jiangxia war, and the safety of Jingzhou's proximity to the counties near Jiangdong, so he frowned and sighed all day long.

Pan and Zhang saw this, so they asked Liu Bei what they were worried about. Liu Bei sighed.

"Huh! At present, the battle situation is unfavorable, Sun Bofu's army has entered Jiangling, and it is difficult for our army to stop it. In addition, Jiangdong has a huge force, and there are many soldiers and enough food. I'm only afraid that it will not only send troops in Nanjun and Jiangxia. Changsha and Guiyang counties, close to Jiangdong, and the army is empty, if Sun Lang secretly captures it, it is difficult to save the fire from far away, how should this be good!?

Although the military advisor has a word, he taught me to abandon the land of Changsha and Guiyang, and have ensured that Jiangxia and Nanjun are not lost. But this land of Jingzhou is, after all, the foundation of my brother Liu Jingsheng. He has a will to be handed over to me, so that I can assist Liu Qi to protect Jingzhou. If the land of Jingzhou falls into the hands of others, how will I have the face to see my brother under Jiuquan in the future! ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Fei shook the leopard's head and shouted angrily.

"Brother, don't worry too much, you only have 3,000 iron horses with me, I will immediately rush to help Changsha, first break its army, and then go to Guiyang to help, I will ensure that Changsha and Guiyang counties are not lost!!"

When Pan Feng heard this, he frowned and immediately shouted.

"No! This kind of layout of the military division has its own profound meaning. The Sun clan in Jiangdong is powerful, sitting on a large area of land in the south, rich in money and grain, and has more than 200,000 soldiers with armor. Our army is still weak, Changsha and Guiyang are closest to Jiangdong, and they are not able to preserve it for a while. Nanjun and Jiangxia are close to the hinterland of Jingzhou, if they die, the Jiangdong army can directly attack Huanglong, and Jingzhou is in danger!!! ”

"However, at present, the Jiangdong soldiers here in Nanjun are strong and strong, and they occupy the city and defend the city. According to my brother's opinion, it is better to leave an army to entangle the soldiers and horses of Jiangling, and then divide an army to first aid Changsha and Guiyang! ”

Zhang Fei immediately spoke, Liu Bei's face sank, and he wanted to echo Zhang Fei's intentions. Pan Feng frowned, and was about to persuade him. At this time, Zhuge Liang stepped into the account and smiled.

Liu Bei's face tightened, and when he saw Zhuge Liang, he hurriedly asked. Zhuge Liang had already heard the discussion outside the tent, and Zhuge Liang was not angry at Zhang Fei's desire to mess with his layout, but smiled brightly.

"What the three generals said is good. But presumably at this time, Changsha and Guiyang have fallen into the hands of Jiangdong. Even if our army wants to save it, it can't save it. ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang.

"How did the military advisor know?"

"I'm in Changsha and Guiyang, and I'm wearing eyeliner early. It was known earlier that Zhou Gongjin had deployed 8,000 troops at the junction of Changsha and Guiyang to wait and march at any time. ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he scolded Zhuge Liang with a look of reproach.

"The military advisor had already known about it, why didn't he send troops to rescue the !? early?"

Zhuge Liang flicked the goose feather fan and smiled.

"The Jiangdong Sun clan has raised troops this time, if they have no land, how can they stop. In addition, Sun Ce is an impatient person, he can raise 80,000 troops today, and he can raise another 100,000 troops in the future. Our army does not have many troops, and with the loss of it, sooner or later it will be exhausted! At that time, Mo said that the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang, even the whole of Jingzhou, would be difficult to preserve. What's more, the three generals should not forget that there is still Cao Cao, the hero in the Central Plains, and as soon as the war in the northwest is over, he will take Jingzhou after his recuperation.

Cao Cao is the hero of the world, and when the time comes, if he unites with Sun Ce, he will divide the land of Jingzhou. We will be attacked by Cao and Sun Jubing, and we will definitely be defeated!! ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, the faces of the three brothers Liu, Pan, and Zhang all changed drastically, and Liu Bei couldn't help but shiver. If the situation is really as Zhuge Liang said, even if he has the help of immortals, it will be difficult to turn the tide!

Liu Bei's face tightened, and he asked quickly.

"According to the opinion of the military advisor, what should we do!?"

"If Sun Ce wins the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang, he will be overjoyed, after all, he has taken the foundation in Jingzhou. And as long as we wait in Nanjun, fight to the death, and defeat its army, Jiangxia will also hold on. Sun Ce saw that the two counties of Nanjun and Jiangxia were difficult to capture for a while, and if they wanted to obtain them, the cost would be huge, and they would have the intention of striking the army.

At that moment, although we lost the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang, we still retained the seven counties of Jingzhou, and our lord seized the time to recruit troops and buy horses, stabilize the situation, and establish a foundation. This is a strong man's broken arm to protect the overall situation in the future. When the time comes, look at the overall situation of the world, and show your own strategy. ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes shimmered, and he said sharply. Liu Bei also knew the truth of Zhuge Liang's words, but Zhang Fei, who was on the side at this time, said unrelentingly.

"The military advisor said very well, now that Jiangling has been occupied by Sun Ce, there are so many soldiers and horses in the city, how can we defeat it!?"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said with a bit of banter.

"Didn't the three generals design to teach before?"

When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes widened and he didn't know what to do, and then he lowered his head and pondered, very distressed. Liu Bei saw it and said with a smile.

"The military advisor actually has a plan, why bother to trick my third brother."

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head.

"Definitely. The three generals said before that the sect leader divided his troops into two parts, one to entangle the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in the city, and the other secretly marched to Changsha to rush to the rescue. This is also good! ”

"Don't joke about it. Such a clumsy plan, how could Zhou Gongjin not see through it. ”

"Haha. Will the lord not hear the wisdom of the fool? It's a clumsy plan, but it's a great deal. If Zhou Gongjin learned about the arrangement of our army, he would definitely see through it. At that time, he resolutely divided his army and broke through in a hurry, and covered up the killing. On the way to Changsha here, there is a forest in the southeast of the famous mountain and sea forest, this forest area is vast, and thousands of troops and horses can also ambush here. I had been observing the sky in the morning, and I expected that in two days, there would be a strong wind in the southeast. At that time, the other army will be defeated! ”

Zhuge Liang came up with another earth-shattering plan, Liu Bei, Pan Feng, and Zhang Fei were shocked when they heard this, and they were surprised. Zhang Fei even shouted.

"It turns out that the military advisor has been fine for many days, and he is all waiting for this southeast wind!"

"Haha. The three generals are smart, and they say the profundity in one word! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled brightly, Zhang Fei was very embarrassed to be praised, and he was laughing stupidly. Liu Bei and Pan Feng glanced at each other and laughed.

Zhuge Liang immediately gathered the generals under the tent to listen to the order, and ordered Zhang Fei, Wen Ping, and Chen Shi to lead 10,000 troops to reorganize the troops on the third watch that night, and set off on the fifth watch, looking at Changsha. After rushing to the mountains and seas on the way, Zhang Fei sent 4,000 troops to ambush in the center of the forest, Wen Ping and Chen Shi were around the forest, with many things that were ignited by sulfur flame and nitrate, and there were piles of grass everywhere, but when he heard the sound of fighting, he immediately set fire to the forest left and right in the forest.

Then, Pan Feng and Liu Bei led the remaining soldiers and horses, and divided their troops into battle under the city day and night. The arrangement in the plan, probably so, each general takes the order, and each makes the arrangement.

Zhuge Liang's distribution has been decided, and it depends on whether it is planned or not.

At the third watch of the night, the sound of turmoil in the Liu military camp was ignored, and the Jiangdong scouts who were exploring outside the village heard it and rushed to the Liu military camp to explore. At the time of the fifth watch, the Jiangdong scouts were shocked to find that many soldiers and horses had evacuated from the Liu army camp and marched in the direction of Changsha.

After the Jiangdong scouts finished searching, they were shocked, and they hurriedly ran into the city to tell Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

As soon as dawn got up the next day, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had just arrived at the county government to discuss matters, and suddenly a scout came to report that Liu Jun had divided the army last night. When Zhou Yu heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up a little disdainfully and smiled.

"Haha. The people in Jingzhou all say that Zhuge Kongming is like a god, but I say that he knows it later. He only found out at this time that I would send troops to attack Changsha and Guiyang, in a vain attempt to send troops to help, didn't he know that it was too late! ”

As soon as Zhou Yu's words fell, another soldier suddenly came to report, and most of the soldiers of the Liu army outside the city came to fight. When Zhou Yu heard this, he was even more sure of what he thought in his heart, and said to Sun Ce.

"This must be Zhuge Liang's intention to send troops to stop our army, lest we know his plan and send troops to cover up the killing. Listen to me, lord, and see how I can bring down his army!" ”

Zhou Yu had a bright smile on his face, since the battle with Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu was in his hands and lost repeatedly. For someone as proud as Zhou Yu, this is simply an indelible shame. Zhou Yu is in a hurry to win a big victory at this time to prove that he is still the number one wise man in the world! Zhou Yu seemed to be extremely impatient, and gathered a group of soldiers at the moment.
