Chapter 355: Hunting in Lu Twenty
Just when Wuyuan City was flooded by the waves, a lightning battle in Liangwu City also ended quickly.
Under the light of the remnant sun, a big banner with the character of Wei was erected high at the head of the city, moving in the wind, hunting sounded, and fluttered above the sky of Liangwu City.
Above the city, corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed.
Above thousands of corpses, a middle-aged general, with a few arrows stuck in his body, was surrounded by people, blood was constantly flowing, he gently put down his soldiers, his eyes swept over, there was a light of contempt.
"Good member Wu Jiang!"
"Only 3,000 people, fighting out 2,500 soldiers of our Wei State, ruthless enough!"
"A soldier of the Wu State who is strong enough!"
The surrounding generals of the Wei State looked at each other with a trace of anger and admiration, and looked at the dying middle-aged general.
Fifteen thousand elite Wei soldiers and horses, besieging and killing only three thousand Wu soldiers, actually showed the same number of casualties, which made them feel ashamed.
The chief general of Wei was a burly young soldier, he wore armor and held a sword, his gloomy face dripped water, and he put the knife on the neck of Wu General Xu Lie, and asked coldly: "A certain question to you, where is Huang Zhong?" β
With the lives of 3,000 soldiers to block their Wei army, Huang Zhong's tens of thousands of cavalry actually broke through.
"Huh!"
Xu Lie glanced up at him, his face was indifferent, his eyes had a touch of relief, and he sneered: "General Wei, you killed so-and-so, it is an honor to be able to shroud the body of Wu State, for the king, and for the prince and marquis, and I believe that in the future, the prince will definitely avenge my Xu Lie." Cut off your head and pay tribute to the souls of thousands of my soldiers! β
He knew Pang Tong's plan, Huang Zhong's tens of thousands of cavalry, could decide the outcome of the outcome, in order to make Huang Zhong break away. He resolutely took the three thousand soldiers who had broken through from Wuyuan City and chose to break off.
Now that the three thousand soldiers of Wu have all died in battle, he, as the main general, is not willing to live alone.
"I asked you again, where is Huang Zhong?"
The young man's name is Le Zhuo, the cousin of Le Jin, the general of Wei Anping, who has been brave and extraordinary since he was a child. A well-known military general of the Qi Realm, who took refuge in Cao Cao with Le Jin, fought in the south and north for several years, and made countless achievements, and was a member of the Wei State.
He was ordered by Lejin. led 15,000 troops to drag Huang Zhong in Liangwu City, but now although Liangwu City was captured by his soldiers and horses, all of Huang Zhong's 10,000 cavalry in the city broke away and disappeared.
"Sue sΓΉ, a certain family bypasses your life!"
Huang Zhong, whose whereabouts are unknown, may spoil the king's war, and a touch of impatience and gloom appeared in Le's heart, and the blade in his hand was fiercely pressed against Xu Lie's neck. A trace of blood flowed out, and he said coldly: "If you don't say it, a certain family will definitely divide your five horses!" β
"Hahaha. Wu Guo, there has never been a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death! β
When Xu Lie heard this, he didn't have the slightest fear, he stood up suddenly, and after laughing a few times, his eyes became fierce. Then he slammed into Le's slammed into it.
Phew!
Le, as a military general, faced this situation. The instinctive defense of nature is directly slashed through with a knife. Blood flowed straight down, and Xu Lie's head fell to the ground, rolling and moving.
"This general can also be regarded as a loyal man, but it's a pity that he is not from my Wei country, and someone came to bury him!"
Le Jiang came back to his senses and looked at the dead Xu Lie with some admiration.
"No!"
Several soldiers quickly walked up and carried Xu Lie's body down.
"General, now that Huang Zhong has disappeared, how should we wait?" A Wei general asked.
"An Lu!" Le shouted.
"In!"
"Send all the cavalry scouts to me, find them, and find Huang Zhong's whereabouts at any cost!"
Le said coldly.
"No!"
The scout lieutenant nodded heavily.
"The whole army obeys the order, rests for the night, and sets off for Wuyuan City tomorrow!" Sun Quan is in Wuyuan, Huang Zhong can only go to Wuyuan, and Le believes that as long as he goes straight to Wuyuan, he can block Huang Zhong.
"No!"
The generals nodded.
"General Le!" At this time, suddenly a Wei soldier outside the city was covered in blood and rushed in on a horse.
"Panicked, what's the matter?"
Le just glared at him, looked at this member of the Wei cavalry, and drank coldly.
"General!"
The blood-stained cavalry quickly took out a token and handed it to Le, and then said: "This is General Anping's token, Tancheng is lost, General Anping is in danger, let you return to Tancheng quickly!" β
"What?"
When the soldiers heard this, they were shocked.
"How is that possible?"
When Le heard this, he couldn't sit still, quickly stood up, walked up, lifted the herald fiercely with both hands, and asked in a cold voice: "My brother has tens of thousands of soldiers in Tancheng, what could be wrong with Tancheng?" β
Now that Gan Ning's soldiers and horses are all entangled by Xiahoudun, it stands to reason that Tancheng should be foolproof.
"Yuzhou Mountain, Yuzhou Mountain...... Wu reinforcements! The cavalry said quickly.
"Reinforcements? Do they have a small number of troops? β
Hearing this, Le asked.
"I don't know...... It's just that the scouts have returned, a lot, a lot, at least fifty or sixty thousand, and the number of troops exceeds that of General Anping! β
Facing Le's momentum, this cavalry member said with some trembling: "General Anping was raided for the first time, and the second time he went out of the city to fight, and he was defeated in two battles, so let the general immediately return with his troops to keep Tancheng!" β
"Damn it!"
Le's eyes were bloodshot all of a sudden.
"General, how are we doing now?" An adjutant general asked.
"Are you going to Wuyuan, or are you going to Tancheng?" A soldier asked.
"Wuyuan City, the 70,000 or 80,000 troops under the command of the king, Huang Zhong's only 10,000 cavalry, can't work, we will take Tancheng, immediately beat the drum and gather troops, and we will lead the troops back to Tancheng!"
Le considered one side, he was also a decisive person, and made decisions immediately.
Tancheng must not be lost, and he does not dare to neglect the safety of his brother Lejin, so he doesn't care about the Wei soldiers who have just experienced a bloody battle. Immediately beat the drums and gathered the generals, and led the troops to return to Tancheng quickly.

Under the stars, the night is sultry.
On Niutoupo, one by one the fires rose up, and the light was shining.
This hill is very large in the shape of a bull's head. It's not the first time Sun Quan has come, in the past, he used to besiege Cao Cao here, and was besieged and killed by Cao Cao.
It's kind of an old place.
Now that he has returned here again with thousands of Wu soldiers who escaped from Wuyuan in a hurry, he feels a little weird.
This is the terrain under Pang Tong's plan. It should be the final battlefield between him and Cao Cao.
It's a matter of success or failure!
Sun Quan knew very well in his heart that Cao Cao would definitely catch up, but the time would not be long, and the flood in Wuyuan City would take an hour at most. will retreat.
When the time comes, it will be the time for their final showdown.
This flood can take the lives of at least 10,000 Wei soldiers and make more than 20,000 Wei soldiers incapacitated.
So, they still have the ability to fight.
"Prince!"
Zhuge Jin walked into a fire, looked at Sun Quan, his face was a little gloomy, and said in a low voice: "More than a dozen villages within a radius of more than ten miles have been searched and a lot of grain has been found!" β
"Ziyu. Thank you! β
Sun Quan raised his head slightly, looking at the tired Zhuge Jin, at this moment. He was very glad in his heart that he brought Zhuge Jin in this battle.
Zhuge Jin, this is indeed a rare talent, maybe in terms of strategy, he has nothing too special, but he manages the logistics single-handedly. It can be described as the point of making something out of nothing.
If it weren't for him, Sun Quan's army would have been hungry and weak. Not to mention fighting this battle.
"Prince, although there is food. But it's not enough for one meal for our 6,000 soldiers! Zhuge Jin shook his head and said with some regret.
More than 6,000 soldiers and more than a dozen villages can move the food needed for a meal.
"Hehe, it's okay for one person to take a bite, some eat, just fill an empty stomach, and you let the soldiers go to the nearby hillside, all for me to dig wild vegetables, anything, as long as you can find something to eat, before dawn, all the soldiers must recover their bodies!"
Sun Quan had already dried his clothes, put them on his body, stood up, his eyes became resolute and sharp, and he said lightly: "After dawn, the Wei army will inevitably catch up, and then it will be the time of the decisive battle, either they will die, or we will die!" β
"Jin understood!"
Zhuge Jin's eyes were shocked and nodded.
"Has Pang Tong come back?" Sun Quan asked.
"Report to the prince, not yet, if nothing else, after they break the embankment, they will go down the Wushui River, and at the third watch, they should be able to come back!" Zhuge Jin said.
"What about Huang Zhong?" Sun Quan squinted and continued to ask.
"Junhou, Ryogo is not close to here, I have already sent scouts, and there is no news yet." Zhuge Jin frowned, and said with some uneasiness.
"Ziyu, Huang Zhong is the key to this battle!"
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and said, "His appearance can lay the foundation of the battle, all, at any cost, get him back!" β
"Yes, I'll send more scouts to Ryogo!"
Zhuge Jin nodded, then walked down and began to prepare food for the soldiers, no matter what it was, as long as he could restore the soldiers' bodies, he would get them.
"Lu Meng!"
Sun Quan glanced around, looked at a young man who was bandaging the soldiers in the distance, and called out directly.
"Prince!"
When the young man heard this, he looked up and saw that it was Sun Quan, and he quickly walked over.
"Sit down!"
"Yes!"
Lu Meng was no stranger to Sun Quan, and said with a smile.
"Tell me, when did you kid get mixed up in my team?" Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng, as the historical Wuxia Ameng, one of the four heroes of Eastern Wu, Lu Meng, who crossed the river in white and killed Guan Yu, he naturally had already paid attention.
Lu Meng's brother-in-law is Sun Ce's die-hard loyalist, and even the young leader of Sun Ce's family has become with him, but this does not prevent Sun Quan from liking him.
This kid shined in the first battle of Jiaozhou, and he bloomed with the talent of a general at a young age.
But didn't he go to the Navy then? Before leaving, he didn't see Lu Meng among his soldiers and horses.
If it weren't for the fierce battle of Wu Yuan, he wouldn't have known that this kid was actually in his own army.
It would be a pity if this was folded here.
"I seem to have been there all along, Junhou, you didn't pay attention, I came back from Jiaozhou, and then graduated from the lecture martial arts, I was originally assigned to the navy, but then I don't know why I was assigned to the foot soldiers!"
Lu Meng scratched his head and explained softly. (To be continued)
