However, after Gan Ning took full control of Zhangling County, he immediately ordered his subordinates to reorganize the soldiers and horses, replenish the soldiers, and at the same time levy the people to build various cities and strengthen defenses. On the other side, Gan Ning had already sent a fast horse to report to Sun Ce.

Xu Sheng, the governor of the Northern Route Army, since leaving Jiangxia County, has also been connecting several cities all the way, and his momentum is like a bamboo, and the march is fast.

With Huo Jun, the captain of the 'guard' division, leading the way, the details of the Jingzhou army have long been 'touched' by the Wu army, but in ten days, the 'gate' households of Xiangyang County, the four counties of Yanguo, Bianxian, Yicheng and Duguo have all been conquered. Xu Sheng commanded the army, went up the Han River, advanced by waterway, and finally was blocked by the Jingzhou army at a distance of 100 miles from Xiangyang City.

Xu Sheng's soldiers set up camp dozens of miles away from the camp in Jingzhou, and at the same time quickly reported the results and situation to Sun Ce in the rear.

There are about 50,000 people in Jingzhou, with Wang Wei as the commander and Cai Mao as the military advisor, in addition to the 20,000 new troops just trained, there are 10,000 who are Wang Wei's original soldiers of Nanjun, and the remaining 20,000 are soldiers of Xiangyang County.

In terms of military strength alone, the Jingzhou soldiers who stood in front of Xu Sheng were about twice as many as the Wu army.

The soldiers led by Xu Sheng, in addition to Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Sun Yu's -★,m. 6,000 naval army, only 25,000 army troops. Among them, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Hubu Battalion of Xu Sheng's headquarters, Zhang Liao, the captain of the 'Guard' Xiaocai, Gao Shun, the captain of the trap and Li Shu, Chen Wu, and Lu Dai, as well as 5,000 soldiers under Sun Ben, the commander of Jiangxia County.

After Xu Sheng went down to the village, he led the generals to check the enemy's situation, but saw that the Jingzhou army was in the village, which was tightly arranged and densely packed, which looked like a strong army.

"This army should be the last strong army in Jingzhou!" Xu Sheng couldn't help but speak.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were different, Xu Sheng continued: "After the enemy army is broken tomorrow, Xiangyang City will be the girls who have no clothes and open their big 'legs'!" ”

Listening to Xu Sheng's vulgar words, the generals laughed when they heard it.

In the midst of laughter, everyone beat their horses back.

Although everyone was a little unimpressed with the Jingzhou Army, Xu Sheng couldn't help but slack off. It is necessary to destroy the enemy army in front of him who is blocking his way, which is related to whether the Wu army can enter Jingzhou. Xu Sheng had already raised 120,000 'spirits' and carefully thought about the strategy of breaking the enemy.

Xu Sheng never doubted the combat effectiveness of Wu's soldiers.

However, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands. In the face of a well-organized military formation, the personal martial arts of the non-commissioned officers did not play a particularly big role. Courage can certainly defeat the enemy, but it is also necessary to consider the number of soldiers and the formation of the army.

That night, Xu Sheng ordered the soldiers to eat a full meal to nourish the 'essence' and recuperate.

Corn porridge, rice rice, and pickled fish soup are definitely rare and good meals for the soldiers of this era. After the soldiers had eaten enough, they were satisfied and slept very peacefully.

In the early morning of the second day, when the first rays of sunlight rose, the flags in the camp were slowly fluttering in the breeze. Xu Sheng was full of spirit, dressed in armor, holding a long knife, and strode out of the handsome tent. As a young general, Xu Sheng desperately needed to prove himself. No matter how many feats he has made, if he wants to be recognized by the world, he must continue to make meritorious contributions!

"The whole army is arrayed, and the camp is decisive!" Xu Sheng's order was short and powerful.

In the voice of the herald, Xu Sheng's order quickly reached the ears of every soldier. Under the command of the military marquis and the military commander, one team after another of the non-commissioned soldiers, marching in a neat pace, changed out of the battalion.

Xu Sheng stood on the edge of the 'door', nodded from time to time, and looked at the 'spirit' of the children!

"Wen Yuan, are you ready?" Xu Sheng turned his head, looked at Zhang Liao beside him, and asked with a smile.

Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Don't worry! Immediately, he strode away, and the blades of his armor made a sonorous collision sound under the dragon's steps.

I saw Zhang Liao take his war horse, turn over the horse cleanly, knock the horse's belly lightly, and then hit the horse without looking back. Two thousand cavalry followed, galloping out of the camp.

The Jingzhou army and the Wu army, as if they had discussed it, each set out of the camp for ten miles and stood in formation.

Xu Sheng rode on a horse, holding a long knife in his hand, and looked into the distance, but saw tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops lined up in a strict military formation, with flags covering the sun, swords and guns like a forest, a scene of slaughter.

This is destined to be a great war, a battle destined to go down in history!

"Beat the drums!" Xu Sheng opened his mouth to lead.

As soon as Xu Sheng's order was given, the herald behind him waved the red 'color' flag in his hand. Suddenly, the drummer, who had been preparing for a long time, waved his sturdy arms, and behind the large array, earth-shattering war drums sounded!

Behind the neat and rigorous Wu army's large array, there are hundreds of war drums 'covered' with cowhides.

The sound of the red silk drumsticks striking on the cowhide drum surface was deafening, and the bulging veins on the drummer's strong arms were like dragons.

The Jingzhou army on the opposite side was not to be outdone, and under Wang Wei's order, a huge drum also sounded.

On the huge wilderness, there was a banging sound, whether it was a Jingzhou sergeant or a Wu sergeant, they were all high-spirited! They straightened their armor and tightened their grips on their weapons.

"For Wu Hou!" Xu Sheng raised the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly!

The pro-soldiers around Xu Sheng suddenly roared in unison!

This roar is like a signal of battle! The army marched forward, the sonorous sound sounded, the spear that was originally erected was flattened by the soldiers, the iron spear tip shone in the morning light, and the red tassels were like blood.

The neat steps, stepping on the grass in the wilderness, kicked up puffs of smoke and dust.

Xu Shengphi was stubborn, riding on a horse, squinting his eyes, looking into the distance.

Collide! 'Fierce' collision!

The sound of the collision of armor finally sounded, and the military formation of tens of thousands of people quickly became distorted under the collision. All the soldiers seem to be fearless of death. One fell, and soon a soldier behind him made up for it. The flat spear was tightly held in the hands of the soldiers, as if it were mechanically stabbed out again and again, and stabbed and withdrawn. The tip of the iron spear was finally stained red with blood.

The bright red tassels are even more eye-catching, and from time to time sticky blood slowly drip down the tassels and fall on the grass.

On the noisy battlefield, the sound of blood dripping on the ground is inaudible. Xu Sheng was at the rear of the battlefield, but he was indifferently thinking in his mind, the plants in this wilderness will definitely grow especially next year!

The spearmen were at the front of the array, and after the hand-to-hand encounter, the sword and shield men quickly attacked from both flanks. His face was hideous, his forearm tightly passed through the handle of the shield, and the ring-headed knife was full of murderous aura in the morning light.

"For Wu Hou!" A roar suddenly came to mind.

I don't know which person was the first to shout, and all of a sudden, the entire battlefield was filled with the slogan "For Wu Hou". This is just a spontaneous slogan, but it seems to have touched the resonance of all the soldiers.

Sacrificing one's life for righteousness is nothing more than that.

As Mencius said. Life, what I 'want' also. Righteousness is also what I 'want'. You can't have both, and you can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also!

Chivalrous and heroic, just like that.

In the hearts of the soldiers, it was Wu Hou who gave them everything, status, wealth, and glory! At this time, it was the time for them to repay Wu Hou. They may not have read many books of sages and sages, and they may not understand many great truths, but they know how to repay their kindness, and they understand that they will sacrifice their lives for righteousness!

Rao is Jingzhou army has a great advantage in numbers, but it can still only fight with the crazy Wu army.

Wang Wei rode on the war horse, his brows furrowed tightly.

Cai Mao on the side couldn't care about the personal grievances with Wang Wei at this time. If this battle is defeated, not only Wang Wei is responsible, but he Cai Mao is no better.

"General Wang, the war has reached a stalemate, what should I do!" Cai Mao asked nervously.

Wang Wei frowned, but did not speak.

Cai Mao's eyes looked at the 10,000 rear army behind Wang Wei, this 10,000 rear army is a battle-hardened Nanjun soldier, who has fought many battles with the Yizhou army, and can be regarded as an 'elite' elite!

These 10,000 people can be said to be Wang Wei's confidence and reserves. Once the war is expected, Wang Wei will personally lead this 10,000 army to press up, but if the battle ahead is unfavorable, Wang Wei can only retreat with this 10,000 army and defend Xiangyang.

Cai Mao is not a stupid person, so she naturally knows Wang Wei's thoughts very clearly.

It's just that seeing that the war is becoming more and more 'intense', Cai Mao really can't help it. In Cai Mao's view, in a stalemate situation, if this 10,000-strong army is pressed, eighty percent of the Wu army may not be able to resist and retreat. But Cai Mao didn't understand what Wang Wei was hesitating about!

Wang Wei glanced at it, and Cai Mao, who was anxious, said in a low voice: "The cavalry of the Wu army has not moved yet!" ”

When Cai Mao heard this, she suddenly had some bad premonitions in her heart.

After Zhang Liao led the troops out of the camp, he hid in the woods next to the wilderness, just to suddenly rush out at the moment of stalemate between the two armies and lay down the victory in one fell swoop!

Under a big tree, Zhang Liao raised his eyes and looked, a little hesitant in his heart.

Although there is a stalemate in the war now, but the Jingzhou army still has a rear army of about 10,000 people, Zhang Liao can't make a decision whether to rush out now.

After all, he had only 2000 cavalry at hand.

Just as Zhang Liao was hesitating, a personal soldier ran over and said, "General, there is a signal from the governor's side, order to attack!" ”

Zhang Liao shook his head when he heard this, exhaled, and secretly blamed himself in his heart.

How can you be afraid of war?

Thinking about it, Zhang Liao had already turned over and got on the horse.

"Assault!" Zhang Liao raised the Yellow Dragon Hook Sickle in his hand and shouted loudly.

With Zhang Liao's order, 2,000 cavalry galloped out of the hidden woods. The horse's hooves stomped on the grass, making the whole earth tremble.

The large-scale cavalry rush is too 'forced'. The smoke and dust that was kicked off made Cai Mao's face pale, and she couldn't help but secretly scold Wang Wei in her heart for being a crow's mouth.

"General Wang, quickly retreat!" Cai Mao's trembling voice sounded, which really lost the face of the Cai family in Jingzhou.

Wang Wei was unmoved, looking at the cavalry of about 2,000 people, and 'inserted' into the Jingzhou army from the flank. In front of the powerful cavalry, the Jingzhou army infantry had no power to resist at all.

With the cooperation of the Wu army's foot soldiers, the Jingzhou army's large array soon became 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'.

The junior officers were no longer able to restrain the soldiers, and the old soldiers were still able to fight, but the recruits had already begun to retreat.

As long as one person escapes, it is as if it is pushing the dominoes, and the rout is inevitable, a large number of soldiers throw down their weapons, hug their heads and run away, and even the armor on their bodies is still on the ground, just to be able to escape a little faster, a little faster.
