Chapter 568: Opportunity
Zhuge Liang saw that the Cao army water village on the opposite side was in chaos, and there was a faint sound of fighting, and a uniquely dressed infantry army suddenly rushed into the water village from the dry land Yuanmen and killed Cai Mao's water army, and the situation was even more chaotic. Zhuge Liang knew that something must have happened, so he immediately ordered Xu Huang: "General Xu Huang, immediately lead the elite soldiers to break into the water village and rescue Cai Mao!" Only then did Xu Huang understand what he wanted him to do, and with a promise of his fists, he ordered thousands of elite soldiers: "Go!" ”
At this moment, Zhuge Liang saw that in the water village, the soldiers of the navy who had originally gathered in one direction were actually fried in all directions, and they were in a hurry, as if they had discovered something terrible. Immediately, I saw the Cai character banner of the Central Military Department fall all at once.
Zhuge Liang frowned, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
Xu Huang led thousands of elite soldiers to cross the Huai River on a raft and suddenly attacked Cao's water village. The Cao army was in civil strife, and it was impossible to resist at all, and it was rushed into the middle of the water village by Xu Huang's thousands of elites all of a sudden, only to see that the soldiers of the Cao army's navy abandoned the ship and landed on the shore and fled in all directions, and they had no intention of fighting at all.
Xu Huang immediately divided a part of the sergeants to seize the warships in the water village, and he himself led the remaining soldiers to kill the Chinese army on the shore with great fanfare.
When the army landed, more than 2,000 soldiers jumped ashore and violently charged and killed the Chinese army. The panicked Cao Jun was unable to resist at all, and collapsed at the slightest contact.
Xu Huang led his soldiers to kill the big tent of the Chinese army, only to see a majestic general urging thousands of soldiers to meet him. The two sides slammed into each other on the shore and fought fiercely! Cao Jun fought hard, like a wolf and a tiger, and Lu Bujun roared and impacted, like a monster jumping up from the river! A massacre with heavy casualties on both sides. Seeing that he could not win, Xu Huang immediately led his soldiers to retreat from the battle to the water, and stretched out the bamboo raft to the opposite side. At this moment, Xu Huang's soldiers had taken away a large number of warships and captured more than 100 prisoners.
Xu Chu led the soldiers to chase to the shore, but he could only sigh and be annoyed.
Xu Huang came, and immediately came to Zhuge Liang, who was standing on the shore, and said with a look of shame: "I didn't rush into the big tent of the Chinese army, and I didn't see Cai Mao, and I was resisted by that Xu Chu's army." Seeing that it was difficult to win, the last general led his troops to retreat! Then he said happily: "Fortunately, many large and small warships have been captured!" ”
Zhuge Liang ordered: "Bring the captives up, I have something to ask." ”
Xu Huang promised, turned his head and shouted at the officer behind him, "Go and bring a few prisoners up." Several officers answered, ran down, and dragged two prisoners who looked like officers, and they knelt in front of Zhuge Liang.
As soon as the two officers saw Zhuge Liang, they hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted for forgiveness: "My lord, spare my life!" Spare your life......"
Zhuge Liang said: "Don't be afraid, I have something to ask you." ”
The two raised their heads, and the officer on the left hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "If the adult has something to say, please ask, the villain knows everything and says everything!" The officer on the right hurriedly said, "The villain is too!" ”
Zhuge Liang asked, "Let me ask you, where is Cai Mao?" ”
The two officers showed a look of fear, and the officer on the left said urgently: "Lord Hui, General Cai Mao and the two generals Cai and Cai Zhong were all killed by that Xu Chu!" The officer on the right nodded hurriedly.
Zhuge Liang frowned, and asked again, "Could it be that Cai Mao didn't have the slightest preparation in advance?" ”
The officer on the right preemptively said, "Be prepared." Beforehand, General Cai Mao chose to defeat the elite soldiers and ambushed them around the big tent, at that time, everyone didn't know what it was for, and they didn't know that they were going to deal with Xu Chu. He swallowed his saliva and at the same time showed a look of fear, "That Xu Chu is really terrifying!" Hundreds of people, they didn't live for him, he killed General Cai Zhong Cai He in the midst of thousands of troops, and he killed General Cai Mao, and the rest of the generals were killed and injured countless times! ”
Zhuge Liang sighed and looked at the two officers, "What's the situation in the water village now?" ”
The officer on the left hurriedly said, "Originally, everyone was going to surrender to General Xu Chu, but," turned his head and glanced at Xu Huang who was standing next to him, "But this general suddenly rushed in with people, and everyone was frightened, so they scattered!" I'm afraid there aren't many people left in the water village now! ”
Zhuge Liang immediately made a decision and said to Xu Huang: "Immediately gather all the infantry of the Leopard Tao Army, and use these thousands of elite infantry to drive the captured warships into the water village, and the rest of the brigade will follow." Xu Huang clenched his fists and immediately ran down.
In front of Cao's big tent, Xu Chu was inspecting the remaining troops in the water village, most of the soldiers had fled, and there were only five or six thousand people left, and because of the change just now, they were all trembling. Wouldn't Xu Chu come to one place, and the generals under the command of the former Cai Mao who were standing next to him tremblingly shouted: "You waste! I don't want to find a way to recruit all the sergeants who ran away for me! If you can't get it back, watch out for your dogs! ”
The generals trembled and were at a loss. A general came out and said: "General Huhou, for today's plan, I can only make a list to recruit people, and at the same time send people to the surrounding villages and towns to look for them, maybe I can find some back!" ”
Xu Chu glared and roared: "Since you know how to do it, don't go quickly!" The general answered, and immediately ran down.
A soldier suddenly rushed over with a roar, and reported with a frightened face: "General, general, no, no, it's not good, the old rough cloth army, Lu Bu army is here!" ”
As if responding to his words, there was a sudden rumbling of war drums at the meeting, which was earth-shattering. Xu Chu immediately ran to the river, looked at the river, and saw a large number of warships surging under the banner of Lu Bujun. Seeing that the opponent turned his face to use the warship that had just been captured, Xu Chu was so hateful that he turned his head and shouted from the group of officers: "What are you doing in a daze?" Prepare for the enemy yet! ”
The generals hurriedly answered, and hurriedly led the five or six thousand sailors to the shore. A few generals urged their men to board the ship, while others ordered their men to set up defenses on the shore.
Xu Chu returned to the big tent and ordered the thousands of tiger troops to be brought to wait in front of the big tent.
Dozens of warships rushed out of the water village to meet Lu Bu's army. Lu Bujun's side immediately rained arrows, and unexpectedly, Cao Jun's water army immediately turned around and fled back towards Shuizhai, making Xu Chu, who was watching the battle, angry and scolding.
Lu Bu's army took advantage of the situation to attack the water village and sailed to the shore, and thousands of soldiers jumped out of the boat under the leadership of Xu Huang and attacked the middle of the water army guarding the shore. The navy on the shore was vulnerable, and collapsed and scattered at the slightest contact.
Xu Huang saw that Xu Chu led thousands of tiger troops in front of the big tent, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he ordered thousands of soldiers under his command to line up and prepare for a fierce battle!
