In the direction of Lu'an, the shouting and killing continued.

Accompanied by a violent explosion, there was a faint flash of fire.

A cavalry army galloped in the drizzle...... When they reached a place about forty or fifty miles away from Lu'an, the cavalry slowly slowed down.

One of the leading generals reined in his horse and looked around.

"General, why stop?"

There was a hint of strangeness in the general's eyes, and he suddenly shouted: "The three armies dismount and prepare for battle." ”

The cavalry was obviously highly trained, and although they did not understand what was happening, they were ordered like a mountain, and immediately jumped off their horses as soon as the general's shouts were heard, and hula formed a circle in place. At the same time, the rumbling of war drums was heard from afar. The cavalry sergeants quickly lit up in the wilderness, and under the light of the fire, they saw a group of Jiangdong soldiers wearing green jackets walking out of the darkness.

The Jiangdong soldiers, like ghosts, quickly came to the front of the formation and stabilized their positions.

Under the banner of Daxu, a general sat on a white horse, holding a sword, and shouted loudly on the horse: "Zhang Wenyuan, Zhou Yu is here, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

In the cavalry formation, there was silence.

After a while, the commander of the army urged his horse forward, "Humane Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang has unparalleled wisdom, and he really deserves his reputation when I see it today." ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, "General Wenyuan, the general trend of Lu'an has gone today, and if you want to help, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

He paused, and his voice suddenly turned higher, "Jiangdong and Uncle Liu Huang have always had a friendship, and they have cooperated more times before, like brothers. Why did he suddenly send troops to my Jiangdong, Uncle Liu's move was too chilling. ”

"Governor Zhou, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

Jiangdong was originally under the rule of our Han Dynasty, and Sun Zhongmou had no court and proclaimed himself Marquis of Wu, which was like a rebellion. The prime minister's expedition to Jiangdong is a conquest on behalf of the sky, how can it be chilling? As for the brothers...... Hahaha, I want Wen Hou to retreat to Guangling back then. The prime minister and Sun Bofu have long had an agreement to support each other. For this reason, the prime minister sent all the grain stored in Guangling to Sun Bofu, why when I was in trouble in Guangling, Jiangdong suddenly joined forces with Cao Cao to attack my prime minister? ”

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he sneered: "If brothers only sell each other, then this kind of brother, don't do it." ”

Zhou Yu heard that the jade face was red, and some words were poor.

Zhang Liao said. It was at the end of the third year of Jian'an. At that time, Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou. Liu Chuang sent troops from Beihai to help. That war. It was also the first defeat in Liu Chuang's life, and Lu Bu had to retreat to Guangling, while Liu Chuang took over Lu Bu's men. At that time, Liu Chuangwei tried to get out. Make an alliance with Jiangdong to send Jiangdu's grain and grass to Jiangdong, so as to borrow Jiangdong's ships to retreat. Who knows, after Cao Cao's troops came to Guangling, Sun Ce suddenly changed his mind, and he was eager to join forces with Cao Cao, intending to flank Liu Chuang, so that Liu Chuang finally went to Xudu.

This thing. Zhou Yu also participated, and even planned it single-handedly.

Later, Sun Ce was killed, and Sun Quan sent people to Liaoxi, but Liu Chuang did not mention this matter again.

Don't talk about it. But it doesn't mean that Liu Chuang forgot about it...... Not only did Liu Chuang not forget it, but Zhang Liao and others also kept this incident in mind, and even regarded this incident as a great shame in his life, and he did not dare to forget it.

"General Zhang, this time and that time ......"

"Governor Zhou also knew that at this time and that time, Jiangdong Sun Quan had a heart of disobedience, and even murdered his brother, disloyal, unfilial piety, unkindness and injustice. Such people stealing Jiangdong will sooner or later be a disaster for the Han Dynasty. If the governor is wise, he should fight back and participate in the righteous deed, instead of blocking the eastward advance of the heavenly soldiers here, it is actually aiding and abusing, and it will be abandoned by the people of the world in the future. ”

Zhou Yu originally planned to persuade Zhang Liao, but he didn't want to be scolded by Zhang Liao.

He was annoyed in his heart, drew his sword and pointed at Zhang Liao and said: "Zhang Wenyuan, I think you are a hero, so I kindly persuaded you."

But you don't know what to do, and you don't see that now you are a turtle in an urn.

Since this is the case, then don't blame a certain family for not being emotional, and the three armies listened to the order and beat the drum for me. ”

In the drizzle, the rumbling war drums suddenly sounded.

A group of Jiangdong sharp soldiers, in the sound of neat war drums, launched a charge against the Han army.

Zhang Liao retreated to his own formation, holding a shield to resist the eagle feathers shot from the Jiangdong army, but there was no panic on his face.

I've seen a more dangerous situation than this, so why be afraid of you.

Seeing the Jiangdong soldiers and horses approaching, and when there were still dozens of steps away from the Han army's military formation, Zhang Liao suddenly shouted: "Throw hands, ignite the fire." ”

The Han soldiers standing in the second row immediately took out tube-like objects from their bodies and used fire folds to ignite the fuses.

"Throw!"

The Han sergeant threw out the items in his hand at the same time as the order sounded, while the Han soldier standing at the forefront erected a large shield and hid behind the shield. Immediately after, boom, a series of loud noises came, hundreds of heavenly thunder and fire exploded in front of the formation, and the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed to the front were blurred by the thunder and fire of this day, and their corpses were scattered all over the ground.

The heavenly thunder fire used by the Han army has undergone countless improvements.

The power of gunpowder has increased a lot after refining it again and again......

If the first time Liu Chuang used the Tianlei fire in Guanjin was only the prototype of gunpowder, then today's gunpowder has basically reached the perfect form of black powder. And after countless realizations and improvements, the volume of the Heavenly Thunder Fire is also shrinking. From the beginning of the bed crossbow to fire, now it can be carried around.

The heavenly thunder fire used by Zhang Liao is more similar to the grenades of later generations.

Its power is far less powerful than the Heavenly Thunder Fire fired by the bed crossbow, but in close combat, it is just as lethal.

To this end, Liu Chuang specially trained a group of throwers.

Choose the kind of soldiers who have great strength and throw far away for training, and each person carries three heavenly thunder fires.

Zhou Yu didn't expect that Zhang Liao still had such a strange soldier in his hands...... Caught off guard, more than 200 Jiangdong soldiers died under the thunder and fire. And the effect of the heavenly thunder fire also greatly deterred the Jiangdong soldiers. If it weren't for Zhou Yu's strict management of the army, it would be impossible to say that after these three rounds of thunder and fire, the entire Jiangdong soldiers and horses would be completely defeated......

"Shhh

Zhou Yu couldn't help but gasp.

Speaking of which, Jiangdong in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was a relatively closed and conservative area.

Metaphysics prevails in Koto, which is better than pure talk and does not pay attention to practicality. Although Jiangdong's handicraft manufacturing industry is very developed, and places such as Wushu are the holy land of sword casting, if you say that the importance of handicraft industry and science and technology is not even as good as that of Xichuan Bashu.

The shipbuilding industry in Nishikawa has been famous for a long time.

As early as the pre-Qin period, Xichuan relied on its strong shipbuilding industry. Create an invincible water division for Daqin.

And Koto ......

Zhou Yu had heard of Heavenly Thunder Fire before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, let alone experienced it himself. The reason why he chose to attack on a rainy night was to guard against the thunder and fire of the Han army. Unexpectedly, the Han army had solved the problem of dampness and carrying of thunder and fire. Once this problem is solved, the application of heavenly thunder fire will inevitably increase on a large scale.

This time the Jiangdong Army was attacked by thunder and fire, which is a proof of this.

In Zhou Yu's heart, there was suddenly a bad omen.

The Han army obviously came prepared, logically speaking, based on the relationship between Zhang Liao and Guo Jia. Even if he rushes to help. I won't carry this kind of thunder and fire. But just when Zhou Yu hesitated. The Han army suddenly attacked.

A general rode out, a horse in his crotch, and a big gun in his hand.

"Xiliang Ma Chao is here, Jiangdong Xiao'er is not yet awarded!"

Ma Chao?

Zhou Yu was taken aback. The first reaction was, why is Ma Chao here?

But this situation did not give him time to think about it, Ma Chao rushed into the Jiangdong army formation first, and the big gun flew over, only to kill the Jiangdong soldiers and the wolf bèi left. And behind Ma Chao, there was a 3,000-foot army. These 3,000 infantry troops all asked for leave, big shields, and long knives. A team of five, a team of five. Five teams of small formations, five small formations and one large formation, roared and rushed into the Jiangdong army.

Although there are sword-forging masters in Jiangdong, it does not mean that the soldiers are well-armed.

In fact, over the past few years. The weapons of the Jiangdong Army were almost supplied by Liaodong, and most of the weapons used were eliminated by the Han Army. The sword and shield soldiers have unparalleled lethality in this era. Historically, Sun Quan strengthened the research and development of weapons in the later period and developed a hundred steel knives. When the Western Jin Dynasty invaded Jiangdong, there was a time when 3,000 Jiangdong sword and shield soldiers faced a Jin army ten times their size, but they killed the Jin army.

The sword and shield soldiers who appeared at the end of the Three Kingdoms appeared on the Lujiang battlefield almost decades in advance.

The long knives in the hands of the three thousand sword and shield soldiers, all of which are made of steel, are also the results of several years of research and development in the Shijiutuo workshop.

This sword and shield soldier is called 'Hundred Refining Elite Soldiers'.

On the one hand, it is because the long knives used by this centaur are all made of steel; On the other hand, it also has the meaning of refining into a hundred materials. Its combat effectiveness is not inferior to Liu Chuang's five elites. Originally, one was commanded by Liu Chuang, but after Ma Chao went to it before and officially surrendered to Liu Chuang, Liu Chuang handed over this elite to Ma Chao as the commander.

The weapons in the hands of the Jiangdong soldiers couldn't even stop the other party's slashing.

The front army's position was suddenly in chaos, and Zhou Yu's face became iron-blue.

He was about to give the order for the Chinese army to attack, when he suddenly saw a scout wolf bèi coming.

"Governor, it's not good!"

"What's the alarm?"

"General Ling Cao ambushed in Lu'an, and the whole army was annihilated...... Today, the Liu'an Han army is divided into three routes, and they have already covered up from behind. ”

"What?"

Zhou Yu was just about to inquire in detail, and another report from the Malay newspaper came: "Governor, the big thing is not good...... A Han army was spotted on the left flank, no more than fifty miles away, rapidly approaching. Judging by its banner, it should be Ma Chao's brother Ma Dai to lead the army. ”

By this time, if Zhou Yu still didn't understand what was going on, then he would really be ashamed of Zhou Lang's reputation.

Fooled!

The so-called disharmony between the generals is just a play played by Guo Jia and Zhang Liao. The purpose was to lure Zhou Yu into taking the bait...... Thinking of this, Zhou Yu didn't dare to hesitate any longer. Once the Han army is surrounded on three sides, then he will face the annihilation of the whole army.

"Order, withdraw troops."

Although Zhou Yu was reluctant to say these two words, he had to order a retreat due to the situation.

At this time, Zhang Liao also led his troops to charge. Zhang Liao and Ma Chao, the tiger generals of the world, joined forces to kill, which also made the Jiangdong soldiers and horses collapse immediately.

In the dark night, Zhou Yu walked away with wolves, and along the way, he saw the fleeing Jiangdong soldiers and horses being chased and killed by the Han army.

Ma Dai, Li Dian, Xiao Ling, and Tai Shixiang advanced in four directions, while Zhang Liao and Ma Chao led their troops to pursue...... It was not until dawn that the war stopped, from Lu'an to Chaohu, only groups of Jiangdong Army prisoners were seen along the way, and corpses were everywhere.

Ma Chao reined in the horse and gathered the elite soldiers of the hundred refinements.

In a fierce battle overnight, the 3,000 elite soldiers were killed and wounded by more than 100 people, and its combat effectiveness can be seen.

Don't talk about Ma Chao, even Zhang Liao was a little hot-eyed, looking at the majestic elite. couldn't help but say: "The lord is also eccentric, but I don't know when my troops will be able to equip this hundred refining divine soldiers." Meng Qi, get this sharp man, when the float is white. ”

"Hahaha!"

Ma Chao listened, and his heart was refreshed.

He had decided to change his mindset before, and to be honest, he was always uncomfortable.

Can ...... now

He said with a smile: "Zhou Yu lost this battle, and Lujiang will definitely fall into the hands of the general in the near future." ”

Zhang Liao listened, but shook his head with a smile, "The military advisor is clever and clever, and he will seize the Lujiang River." Why do you need to come to Japan? Meng Qi. You immediately lead General Ma Dai in pursuit. rushed to Shu County, and it was incomparably necessary to cut off Zhou Yu's way south; Yuan Fuzi Sheng, the two of you led the troops and horses of the headquarters to set off immediately and headed for Xiang'an. Cut off Zhou Yu's way to cross the river. I divided into two ways with the Manchester City soldiers, Manchester City led the troops to occupy Tongxiang, and I led the troops straight to Shu County. This battle must be ended as much as possible, and Mo was robbed of the first credit by Xingba. ”

Zhang Liao's words revealed a lot of meaning.

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.

If he didn't understand why Liu Chuang sent him to Lujiang before, now it is clear.

Liu Chuang is going to brush up on his military exploits...... After all, Ma Chao has returned to Han. Except for the killing of Zang Ba in Pingyuan County, there is no credit that can be taken. It is not an easy task to be among the top 10 generals. Although Tai Shici is gone, if you Ma Chao doesn't have the credit to get your hands on, what qualifications do you have to occupy the top ten generals?

own brothers. Really sweet!

"So, I'll go."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There was a fiasco outside the city of Lu'an, and the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong suffered heavy casualties.

Zhou Yu went all the way south under the protection of his personal entourage, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the Han army.

There are 50,000 Jiangdong soldiers, and less than 10,000 escaped. After Zhou Yu cleaned up the number of people, he couldn't help but feel gloomy.

Since his birth, Zhou Yu has been smooth sailing.

He assisted Sun Ce to win many battles and rarely had a defeat. I thought I could gain the upper hand, but I didn't want to lose miserably in Lu'an. It is conceivable that the defeat of Lu'an will bring a huge shock to Lujiang. The situation in the entire Lujiang region will also change.

In this case, if you continue to defend the Lujiang River, it will not be beautiful.

Next, we should quickly withdraw from the Lujiang River, return to Jiangdong, defend Niuzhu and Chungu, and resist the Han army crossing the river.

After a short period of sadness, Zhou Yu quickly adjusted his mood and hurriedly led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Shu County. He was ready to rest and recuperate in Shu County, and then withdrew to Jiangdong. When I arrived in Shu County, it was already evening. Zhou Yu also felt very tired, seeing the banner on the head of Shu County and the city gate closed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and led his troops to the city.

"Who's on duty in the city?"

Zhou Yu sent someone to step forward and shouted loudly under the city, "The governor will lead his troops back and open the city gate quickly." ”

At the head of the city, a soldier came out, and when he saw the banner clearly, he hurriedly said loudly: "Go to General Qiyu, the governor is back." ”

Listening to the familiar local sound, Zhou Yu finally put his mind at ease.

In a few moments, the gates opened.

Zhou Yu rode his horse and prepared to enter the city, but he didn't want to just arrive in the city, but he heard a rapid bang bang on the city, followed by a loud shout from the city tower: "Release the arrow!" ”

In an instant, in Shu County, thousands of arrows were fired.

And the Jiangdong soldiers under the city have relaxed their vigilance at this time.

When the rain of arrows poured, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses suddenly became a pot of porridge, and hundreds of soldiers were shot and killed under the city.

Zhou Yu was also caught off guard and was shot off his horse by an eagle arrow.

Fortunately, he was surrounded by his side and desperately covered up, and finally rescued him from the chaos.

"Gong Jin, Guo Jia has been waiting here for a long time, why is he only here now?"

A scribe appeared on the tower of the city gate, holding a folding fan, standing out in the setting sun, and said loudly with a smile.

Zhou Yu's head buzzed, and he immediately reacted.

But before he could give the order, a detachment of men and horses was slaughtered from the city.

The leader of the general was Xu Huang, who rode into the chaotic army and shouted: "Zhou Yu, Xu Huang has been waiting for a long time again, where are you going?" ”

At the same time, there were ambushes outside the city, covering them from all sides.

Zhou Yu hurriedly grabbed a horse, and under the protection of his personal entourage, he broke through from the chaotic army.

As night fell, Zhou Yu finally escaped from the pursuit of the Han army with more than 100 horsemen. He could no longer support it, and shook off his horse, and fell off his horse.

The entourage hurriedly stepped forward and supported him.

In the light of the torches, I found that Zhou Yu's shoulders were dark and shiny, and his whole arm was swollen like steamed buns.

They couldn't help but gasp, they were no strangers to this situation.

Poison Arrow!

The other party used poisoned arrows......

But in this wilderness, how can it be cured?

The entourage finally rescued Zhou Yu, "Governor, now that Shu County is lost, where should I go?" ”

Zhou Yu's face was pale and his breath was weak.

"Let's go to the lake first, and then make plans."

He is near the lake, and there are still thousands of soldiers and horses to rely on.

This place is relatively close to Juchao, but Zhou Yu believes that with Guo Jia's means, he will definitely send someone to seize Juchao and cut off his retreat. Instead of this, it is better to go to the lake first. After putting the soldiers and horses in order, they managed to break through the siege and cross the river to the east.

For now, this is also the only way out.

Chen Wu, the chief of the spring valley, is a fierce general in Jiangdong, and I believe that when he gets the news, he will definitely try to rescue him.

At that moment, Zhou Yu fled overnight under the protection of his relatives and came to Linhu. As he imagined, the lake was fine.

However, Xiang'an, the key place to cross the river, has been occupied by the Han army.

It is indeed not easy to forcibly cross the river with the current strength.

Although Chen Wu was brave, the Han army was full of fierce generals. Not to mention that Zhang Xu Huang, but it's just a Ma Chao, I'm afraid Chen Wu can't deal with it.

Hold!

Zhou Yu made a decision in the light of light: stick to the lake!

He Qi Huiji's victory will inevitably ease the pressure in the southeastern part of the country. Sun Quan will not sit idly by and watch Zhou Yu be trapped, and will definitely draw troops and horses from Huiji to come to the rescue. It's just that in the face of the aggressive trend of the Han army, Zhou Yu doesn't know how long he can hold out. However, the top priority is to find a doctor to detoxify and heal Zhou Yu......
