Chapter 485: Serial Scheme
"Tripping! Be careful, there's a tripwire on the ground! β
The law of sighs - the neighing of war horses.
"Short spear! Throw a short spear! Don't rush forward! β
"Ballista salvo!"
The reinforcements brought by Zhou Yu came prepared. A possible ambush had long been anticipated. Therefore, at the moment of being attacked by the cavalry, the soldiers did not panic at all, and under the command of Wen Ping, they did not go up to the front to fight closely, but sprinkled the road with thorn horse nails, thistles, and tripping horses.
It's just that the Xiliang cavalry suddenly changed its usual charging method, and attacked from a distance with extremely lethal and armor-piercing guns, which made the Jingzhou soldiers defenseless, and in an instant, the soldiers were still panicked by the tragic deaths.
"Spread out! Disperse! "Wen Ping has full experience in battle, and the dense crowd tactics of infantry against cavalry in the past are not useful, the denser the people, the more soldiers can be strung through with a single shot, and the greater the sacrifice.
"Spread out, spread the plum blossom array, and drag the enemy cavalry!"
Wen Ping's order, Zhou Yu gasped. The soldiers don't understand battle formations, but he does. This Wen Ping is really a loyal thug, and he has to exchange a heavy price for the survival of the Jiangdong Army's escape!
Wen Ping personally led the infantry to stick forward and entangle the cavalry.
And on the ground are stumbling horses, thistles. It was hard to see in the darkness of the night, and the cavalry led by Pound slowly slowed down. The cavalry lost the strength of the charge, and the two sides fell into a scuffle.
The Wenpin troops were entangled in the Chang'an army, and they no longer moved at all, forming small circular formations on the spot. Until the last man dies in battle.
The battle between the two sides entered the white-hot stage, Lu Bu frowned tightly, the battle situation did not form a one-sided situation as he imagined, on the contrary, due to the tenacity and ferocity of the Jingzhou army, the battle situation actually fell into anxiety.
"General, Zhou Yu broke through and left."
Lu Bu was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Damn Wenpin!" The cavalry should not stay in the grappling, and mobilize miscellaneous troops to surround the Wenpin army. All the cavalry obey the order, and I will chase! β
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves went away, and Wen Ping sighed for a long time: "Jiangdong and Jingzhou have a strong enmity that cannot be resolved. Zhou Yu, I can only help you get here, whether you can defeat Lu Bu or not depends on you. β
Wen Ping didn't want Jiangdong to occupy Jingzhou, nor did he want Lu Bu to occupy Jingzhou, he only hoped that the people of Jingzhou could be on the side and live a stable life in the troubled times: "We have been surrounded by regiments, there is no hope of breaking through, let's lay down our arms and surrender." β
Under Wen Ping's order, all the soldiers surrendered, but he was the only one who swore not to surrender, and ordered the soldiers to tie him up and sacrifice him to Lu Bu in order to gain glory and wealth.

"Kill!"
Zhou Yu had just escaped five or six miles, and while retreating, he gathered the rout. Suddenly, the sound of dense horse hooves behind him sounded, and a large wave of cavalry chased after them.
"Rush to the southeast, don't fight the enemy! Fast! β
Zhou Yu gathered the rout here, of course, deliberately staying. Near the city gates, he also ambushed an elite force. After fighting for a long time, all the troops from Jingzhou were dispatched, and none of the elites in Jiangdong were injured.
Lu Bu led the army to quickly chase after him, shouting Zhou Yu's name.
"Accelerate, accelerate! Capture Zhou Yu alive!! β
Lu Bu was originally full of confidence in the serial ambush plan he designed, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to come to the camp as soon as it was dark, and he made a wrong step. The trick of luring the enemy, which had been prepared for a long time, did not come in handy.
And Zhou Yu is also in his own time, when Jiangdong is at a disadvantage, he decisively breaks through, this guy's courage and determination are really a difficult opponent. If Zhou Yu had been a little slower, and when he had arranged his own plan, I was afraid that the Jiangdong army would have been wiped out.
However, although LΓΌ Bu's plan was not launched, he still had an army that could come in handy.
Chasing the enemy at night is very easy to chase and lose. No, Zhou Yu led a group of men and horses into the woods, and Lu Bu chased him away again.
"Report, General, Zhou Yu appeared in front and is about to enter Xiangyang City."
"Again?" Lu Bu keenly smelled something unusual. Didn't he lure the ambush troops in Jiangdong to fight and retreat?
"Immediately ordered Lu Lingqi to come to support, I'm worried that there is an ambush ahead."
Before Lu Bu's words fell, the gongs and drums of the two mountains sounded.
"Volley! Put! β
"Woo Woo ......"
"Whew! Poof......"
"Ahh
"Whew!! Puff ......"
"Ambush, there are ambushes!! Hurry back! β
"Soldiers! Come on! Rocket projectile! β
"The enemy has been tricked! Kill! β
"Capture Lu Bu alive! Flatten the enemy camp! β
In all directions, torches were lit one by one, and Lu Bu only sighed bitterly at this time, the change is so fast tonight! Just now, he was chasing Zhou Yu in a beautiful way, but in a blink of an eye, it became Zhou Yu ambushing him again.
Pound's face was furious, and he hadn't recovered from the pursuit of the enemy, and the outline of Xiangyang in front of him was in full view.
"Brothers, Xiangyang is in front of you, Zhou Yu is in front of you! You say, it's a war or a retreat! LΓΌbler ceased his horses and looked around at the frightened soldiers.
"Fight, fight, fight!"
"Those who entered Xiangyang first will be promoted to the general of Zhennan! Kill! At this time, Lu Bu is not allowed to think more, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. Only with heavy rewards can the morale of the army be motivated.
"Kill!"
The cavalry, trapped in the rain of arrows, shouted angrily, driving their horses up the hillside in the rain of arrows.
Seeing that it was as dense as rain, with every blink, a large number of cavalry would be shot off their horses. And the speed of the cavalry rushing up the hillside made Lu Bu's heart palpitate.
"General, the rain of arrows is too dense to rush up!"
Of the thousands of cavalry at the time of departure, only a dozen or so returned with arrows.
"Can't be returned! The devil knows what traps Zhou Yu arranged on our retreat. Lu Bu was so anxious that he didn't choose to speak. The encirclement of the Jiangdong soldiers did not shoot in place because Lu Bu's cavalry stopped in the center, and slowly pressed up to the center.
"Everyone dismounted, and engaged in battle. Where is the crossbow battalion, follow me into battle and break the enemy! Lu Bu suddenly jumped off the red rabbit, and the horse fell to the edge, there must be danger. This is also the reason why in chess, the horse does not go to the side. At this time, the cavalry could not play a mobile line, and had no combat power, so they could only be infantry.
"No, General, give me your helmet and cloak. I'm here to attract the enemy, and the general will find a way to break through! β
"I am personally trapped, or I have the power to break the cauldron and sink the ship, if I retreat, the army's spirit will be lost, and Ling Ming will be trapped and die here!" Lu Bu shook his head and refused.
"The subordinates are the pawns of the general, and it is within the scope of resisting the sword and arrow, the general must not hesitate!" Pang De was even more anxious, the encirclement of the Jiangdong soldiers was getting smaller and smaller, and if he didn't leave, everyone would be trapped here. Pound suddenly stretched out his hand, turned over and pounced on Lu Bu, snatching his cloak.
Although Lu Bu's army was trapped in the center and was slaughtered one-sidedly, the heavy armor of Lu Bu's crossbow battalion was invulnerable, and although he was unable to reverse the decline, it was very difficult for Zhou Yu to kill this elite. Zhou Yu wanted to fight a quick battle, first eliminate the ordinary cavalry, and then work together to encircle and suppress the heavy armored cavalry.
"Hurry, hurry." Zhou Yu urged Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai attacked as soon as possible. Zhou Yu was worried, the infantry combat power of the Chang'an army was far higher than that of the Jiangdong infantry, and once the infantry arrived, this ambush battle would be meaningless.
Zhou Yu hoped for a quick victory, if another enemy army came to kill at this time......
Zhou Yu's worries were not over, and the drums at the city gate behind him shook the sky. There was a dense rush of running.
"Not good! Enemy reinforcements are coming! β
As if in response to Zhou Yu, a female general led thousands of infantry to kill from behind his encirclement: "Lu Lingqi is here, Xiangyang has been taken by me, Zhou Yu hurry up and give the head!" β
"The enemy army is bluffing, rush with me, kill Lu Bu first!" Zhou Yu was also firm at this time, ignoring the enemy soldiers behind him, as long as he killed Lu Bu, everything had a chance to start again!
"Rush, kill!"
Suddenly, the fire in Xiangyang City soared into the sky, and the shouts were like bursts of rolling thunder. The saber drawn by Zhou Yu fell silently to the ground.
"Xiangyang has really been breached, Metropolitan Governor, what should I do!" Zhou Tai's mouth opened wide in surprise, he couldn't believe when Lu Lingqi touched his back and silently took Xiangyang under the noses of the Jiangdong army?
The party, Lu Lingqi also looked at a loss, she didn't know what was going on, she didn't know why Xiangyang City suddenly shouted loudly, she instinctively slashed the enemy in front of her, and rescued her father who was surrounded in the core.
At this time, in Xiangyang City, hundreds of people were holding hoes and wooden sticks, and they were going crazy and impacting the family mansion and the state governor's mansion. When they saw the defenders of the city, they rushed up, rushed to the front, and set fire to them in all directions.
"The official coercion/the people rebelled, open the city gate, and enlarge the general's army and horses to enter the city and kill the jackals in Jiangdong!"
"Open the gates, open the gates ......"
The people of the city, regardless of the old, the weak, the women and the children, gradually picked up wooden weapons and began to storm the four gates of Xiangyang, and more and more people joined the battle. It turned out that Cai He used the people's families to persecute and help defend the city, which angered the people. And just now, Lu Lingqi threatened to break through the city gate outside the city, and the people in the city thought that Lu Bu's army had the upper hand, and under the instigation of the Huang family, they began to rebel and fell to Chang'an, which treated the people preferentially.
The mutation and turnaround were too sudden, and Pang De, who was tearing Lu Bu's cloak, froze in the air as soon as Lu Lingqi appeared.
"Reinforcements are coming, rush, kill!"
Pang De took the lead, bringing a gust of bloody rain and bloody wind to disperse the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed forward.
As the battle turned around again and again, Lu Bu's eyes were full of eagerness, and his figure wielding a halberd to pursue also seemed more and more energetic, and his cloak fluttered like flying in the night wind. strangled groups of Jiangdong soldiers who came forward to receive their deaths.
"How so?"
When he was about to reap the fruits of victory, he found that he was about to die, and his heart was as strong as Zhou Yu, and he couldn't accept the facts. His eyes were glazed, only two lips were wriggling, but he couldn't make a single note.
"Governor Dadu, hurry up, I'll stop the enemy!"
Zhou Tai was about to rush forward and join the battle, when he looked back and saw Zhou Yu frozen in place, hurriedly stepping back and pulling.
"Poof!"
Zhou Yu spurted out a mouthful of blood.
