Chapter 217: Planning for another battle
After Zhang Dingbian injured Deng Ming, he was ready to kill Deng Ming in one go, only to see Zhang Dingbian twist the ghost head knife, and the sharp blade slammed into Deng Ming's face.
More than ten steps away, Chang Yuchun, who was frantically killing in the crowd of Han soldiers, saw the scene of Deng Ming in distress, and because of the distance, it was too late for him to rescue him closely.
At the last moment, Chang Yuchun's brain was turned around, and he shouted in a hurry: "Zhang Dingbian, look at the arrow!! ”
Zhang Dingbian suddenly heard Chang Yuchun's cheers, and was suddenly shocked, Chang Yuchun is a person with the same top combat power in the world as he is, and what is even more terrifying is that Chang Yuchun's archery skills are outstanding, if he ignores the defense and insists on killing Deng Ming, then his life will also be threatened.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dingbian didn't care about launching the final blow at Deng Ming, and immediately turned the big knife, preparing to meet Chang Yuchun's swift flying arrows.
It's just that after Zhang Dingbian turned around, he found that Chang Yuchun had no strong bow and feather arrows in his hand at all, and in an instant, Zhang Dingbian realized that he had been deceived by Chang Yuchun.
Taking advantage of this gap, Deng Ming endured his injuries and quickly got out of Zhang Dingbian's attack range, Zhang Dingbian was quite unwilling in his heart, and wanted to ride a horse to chase Deng Ming to make up for the regret in his heart.
But at this time, Chang Yuchun was already fast and approaching, only to see Chang Yuchun slap the horse's belly violently, and the horse under the crotch leaped up.
Zhang Dingbian saw that Chang Yuchun was menacing, and he didn't dare to be careless immediately, so he could only temporarily abandon Deng Ming, clenched the ghost-headed machete, and shook his spirit to meet Chang Yuchun.
The two fought for more than 50 years in a row, regardless of victory or defeat, Zhang Dingbian knew in his heart that with the development of the battlefield situation, continuing to fight with Chang Yuchun would only make him more passive.
At that moment, Zhang Dingbian attacked Chang Yuchun several times in a row, swept his position, and galloped towards the depths of the mountains and forests.
Although Chang Yuchun wanted to catch up and fight with Zhang Dingbian, he was ordered by Deng Yu when he came, so he could only hold back the vigorous fighting spirit in his heart, save Deng Ming first, and join the army of his headquarters.
And in the depths of the dense forest, at this time, Chen Youliang and Zou Pusheng were resting under a hundred-year-old tree, only to see Zou Pusheng solemnly offer advice to Chen Youliang: "King Han, although our army has severely damaged the Wu army through ambush, but our army is short of food and grass, which is not conducive to a long-term battle, it is imperative that our army quickly withdraw to Lu'an, and then make plans after joining with General Fu, however, in order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the loophole and continuing to send troops to chase, it is necessary for the King of Han to leave another elite army to set up an ambush on the road that must be passed!" ”
When Chen Youliang heard this, his blood-stained fingers pressed his somewhat dazed head, and after thinking for a while, he adopted Zou Pusheng's suggestion, leaving an elite army to set up an ambush, and the rest of the soldiers and horses quickly withdrew to Lu'an.
However, it was said that Deng Yu had learned from the past, and the Wu army scouts faintly detected that the Han army had left an elite army to set up an ambush, so he temporarily put aside the idea of pursuing the Han army and withdrew his men and horses to Hefei City first.
Five days later, Lu'ancheng County Ya, Chen Youliang and a group of Han army civil and military officers gathered together to discuss the plan to break Wu.
I saw Zhao Pusheng taking the lead, his hatred soared into the sky, knelt on one knee, gritted his teeth and asked for battle: "King Han, the last general and the Wu army have a common hatred, I hope that the king of Han can make the last general the vanguard, and the last general is willing to lead the army to fight the Wu army again, this time he will be able to capture Hefei City, and dedicate the heads of thieves such as Deng Ming, Chang Yuchun, and Hu Dahai to the King of Han!" ”
Chen Youliang saw that Zhao Pusheng was carried away by hatred, and he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but he also knew that Zhao Pusheng had just experienced the pain of losing his son, so he didn't care about Zhao Pusheng, and said comfortingly: "Zhao Qing, this king knows that you have lost your beloved son, and you are anxious to take revenge, you can rest assured, as long as the time is ripe, this king will give you the opportunity to hate it, but you must not act recklessly, how to arrange it must be discussed carefully with you before deciding!" ”
Although Zhao Pusheng was unwilling, he also understood that what Chen Youliang said was very reasonable, and Chen Youliang promised to give him a chance to take revenge, so he relaxed at the moment, returned to his original position, and stopped talking.
Zhang Dingbian is also high-spirited, he had hit Deng Ming, the general of the Wu army, but failed to kill him in one fell swoop, Zhang Dingbian has always felt very regretful in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Dingbian went out to ask Chen Youliang for battle: "King Han, the last general is willing to be the vanguard of the army with General Zhao and attack Hefei City together!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Fu Youde, who stayed in Lu'an, couldn't help but ask for his life: "King Han, the last general stayed in Lu'an last time, and he didn't catch up with the battle with the Wu army. ”
Chen Youliang was not afraid of the defeat of the generals under his command, and he was quite satisfied in his heart, and after having the initial idea of sending troops to take revenge, Chen Youliang set his sights on Zou Pusheng.
Zou Pusheng felt Chen Youliang's gaze, looked at the generals in the hall who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, shook his head slightly, and admonished: "King Han, we must not underestimate Wu Jun again!" Wu Wang Deng Yue is brave and strategic, and there are talented Luo Ben under his command to give advice, and Wu has Chang Yuchun, Hu Dahai, Lu Yi, Deng Ming and other fierce generals charging into battle. ”
"Although Deng Ming was severely injured by Zhang Dudu, but Deng Ming was a second-rate general under Deng Yu, his casualties did not have much impact on the Wu army, plus, Wu army reinforcements will arrive in Hefei in the near future, previously, our army of 80,000 soldiers has not been able to take Hefei City, now, Wu army has reinforcements, if you want to capture Hefei City, it is undoubtedly difficult to reach the sky!"
After listening to Zou Pusheng's statement, Zhao Pusheng frowned, and snorted coldly: "Master Zou, how can you grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige, although the strength of the Wu army is not good, but our army is not vegetarian, the Wen Taowu of the Han King is far better than that Deng Yu, and our army is full of literary and talented generals, why should we be afraid of the Wu army like a tiger!" ”
Chen Youliang's eyes narrowed slightly, he sat in the first place and pondered, the hall fell silent, and everyone gradually turned their eyes to Chen Youliang, whether the Han army fought or retreated, it was all in Chen Youliang's thoughts.
In fact, Chen Youliang already had a plan in his heart, he just wanted to see what the attitude of the generals was, he personally led an army of 80,000 to attack Hefei City, thinking that he could be like a bamboo, adding a dazzling record to the royal industry, who knows, but it ended in failure, and he lost face for no reason, which is called how to swallow this breath to the proud Chen Youliang.
After hesitating for about a quarter of an hour, he saw Chen Youliang get up suddenly, slammed the table, and shouted loudly: "This king is determined to recruit 160,000 troops from China, plus more than 40,000 soldiers and horses from Lai'an, a total of 200,000 troops, and then fight to the death with the Wu army!! ”
As soon as these words came out, all the main battle generals in the hall were gearing up and in high spirits, as if the Wu army had become a fragile lamb, waiting for them to be slaughtered at any time!
