The 60th Battle of Eastern Wu and Southern Han Dynasty Drove Cao Wei to the Central Plains Unification (4)

Yang Xiong alone defeated Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, and the two generals did not fall behind at all. If it weren't for the tacit understanding between Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, the two second-rate generals would really not be Yang Xiong's opponents.

The three of them fought for twenty or thirty times, and Yang Xiong still had the upper hand, but the Southern Han army behind Yang Xiong couldn't wait. Seeing that the two generals of Eastern Wu wanted to win more, the soldiers simply rushed forward to kill. The people and horses of Eastern Wu also rushed forward when they saw the movement on the opposite side, and the two armies fought in one place.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng could barely resist Yang Xiong, but Wu Bing was far worse than the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty. Whether it is training, equipment or the quality of soldiers, the men and horses under the command of Nan Ye can be called the first in the world, and in the same number, there is no prince whose soldiers and horses can be more powerful than the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty. The two armies collided in one place, and the Eastern Wu soldiers were killed and defeated. Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were also afraid of being trapped in the Southern Han army, so they had to retreat together.

Yang Xiong led the troops to chase until the city of Jianye, if it were not for Zhou Yu at the head of the city to command the soldiers to shoot a rain of arrows to block Yang Xiong's soldiers, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng's men and horses would be defeated and returned to the city, there would be little left.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng not only failed to capture the flag when they sent troops this time, but instead lost their troops, and more than 10,000 of the 20,000 soldiers and horses were buried, which made the second general look very unsightly. After returning to the city, he pleaded with Sun Quan and said: "I will wait for the teacher to be unfavorable, and please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Sun Quan didn't expect that the city was not the main force of Nanye and was so powerful, and he was not in the mood to blame the second general, so after a few words of appeasement, he asked the generals: "Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong are so brave, I don't know what to do?" ”

Zhou Yu came out of the class and said: "These two generals are invincible, according to my opinion, we should stick to it and wait for the sky." ”

Zhang Zhao said: "Now that the two generals under Nan Ye are not invincible, what if his army comes to join forces?" Waiting for the time to be unfavorable to me, why don't the metropolitan governors transfer military horses to fight with them, first retreat these two generals, and then retreat to Nanye's rear army. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Today's Yang Xiong's victory is vigorous, we can't wait for it lightly, and it will be disadvantageous if it comes out." His army saw that we could not hold on to the battle, and their morale would decline, and I would win it with strange tricks. ”

Sun Quan heard Zhou Yu's plan, and couldn't help but rejoice: "I don't know what Gong Jin's clever plan is to break the enemy?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "After a few days, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai should return to the army regardless of victory or defeat, and then they can join forces to kill and retreat the enemy army." ”

Sun Quan then remembered that there was still a large army outside the city, in the eyes of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and other generals would not be defeated too badly even if they were defeated by Nan Ye, as long as half of the 100,000 horses returned to the army, they could defeat Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong by attacking inside and outside. At this time, they didn't know that there was not one in Zhou Tai's army.

Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong saw that the Wu army could not defend but was not idle, and after setting up the camp, they began to collect boulders, cut down trees, and build equipment, and waited for the Nanye soldiers to attack the city. At the same time, Yang Xiong also led troops to the front of the city every day to fight, hoping to lure out the Eastern Wu soldiers and weaken the living forces in the city.

Zhou Yu allowed Yang Xiong to insult him in every way under the city, but he couldn't hold on, so that the soldiers listened to him. At the beginning, Yang Xiong also led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight, but there were no troops in the city, so Yang Xiong reduced his troops and called the formation to show that the enemy was weak. For a few days in a row, Yang Xiong's soldiers and horses were reduced to a thousand men and horses, but he still failed to lure out the Eastern Wu army.

On this day, Yang Xiong came to the city again to fight, a thousand soldiers showed off their might, insulted endlessly, after being tired, there were many undressed and undressed people, and the naked people slept or sit. Xu Sheng and Ding Feng looked at it and said to Zhou Yu: "Yang Xiong bullied me too much!" I'm willing to strike at it! ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he was about to stop it, but he saw that there was dust drifting away in the distance, and birds were flying into the sky, so he said happily: "You wait for the speed to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to capture Yang Xiong." ”

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng couldn't fight for several days, thinking that Zhou Yu would order to hold on this time, but they didn't expect to send troops. The two were overjoyed when they heard this, and they were ready to go out of the city.

Yang Xiong didn't expect the Wu army to go out of the city today, but fortunately, the lazy appearance of the soldiers under his command was pretended, and when he saw the city gate open, he immediately sent down the horse to meet the enemy.

As soon as Xu Sheng and Ding Feng left the city, they saw an extremely neat team, where was it a little loose? At this time, they realized that the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty were deliberately luring the enemy just now. Even so, they were not afraid of Yang Xiong, after all, Yang Xiong only had 1,000 soldiers and horses, and even if he was prepared, he was not an opponent of an army of 20,000.

Yang Xiong saw countless Wu troops pouring out of the city gate to kill him, and he was not angry but happy, and ordered his soldiers to release arrows. After three rounds of volleys, the Wu army suffered thousands of casualties, and Xu Sheng and Ding Feng also led the army to rush to the front of the battle. Yang Xiong is not in love with war, he pulls the horse and leaves, no matter how strong the Southern Han army is, it is not strong enough to be ten with one, so he does not fight hard with the Wu army.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng lost their people, how could they let Yang Xiong go? Chased after the Southern Han army. The two generals were chasing forward, shouting and killing in the dense forest, tens of thousands of Southern Han soldiers were killed, and the soldiers and horses that Yang Xiong had lost were all ambushed in the forest, just waiting for Yang Xiong to lure the enemy successfully.

When Yang Xiong saw that the ambush was exhausted, he no longer retreated, and returned to the army to fight Xu Sheng and Ding Feng. The second general was ambushed and secretly complained, but he did not flinch. This time, the Wu army had the advantage of troops, and it may not be impossible to fight with Yang Xiong.

When the two armies were entangled, suddenly Yang Xiong shouted behind him, and Zhou Tai and Zhu Zhi led the troops to kill and surrounded Yang Xiong in the middle. Yang Xiong didn't expect another group of people to come, although he fought Xu Sheng and Ding Feng alone, but as soon as Zhou Tai and Zhu Zhi joined the battle circle, Yang Xiong was a little unbearable.

Yang Xiong was no match for the four generals, and seeing that there were many Wu troops, he had no choice but to lead the troops to take the road with a false shot. Xu Sheng saw that Yang Xiong was going to bend the bow and shoot arrows, and the eagle feather arrows chased the wind and the moon in Yang Xiong's vest. If this arrow hits others, it will be a heavy reward if you don't say that you will die, but the black gold armor on Yang Xiong's body is specially made in Jiaozhou, and there are heart guards on the front and back. Although Xu Sheng's arrow was shot, it was weakened by the heart goggles, and it did not penetrate the flesh deeply, and did not hurt the internal organs. Therefore, Yang Xiong was hit by an arrow but did not fall off his horse, but just walked away with an arrow.

Zhou Tai and Zhu Zhi just returned to Jianye to catch up with the Han and Wu armies, at this time Zhou Tai saw that Yang Xiong was injured, so he raised his gun and encouraged the soldiers: "Yang Xiong is dead!" All the gentlemen followed me forward to step into the camp of the Southern Han Dynasty! ”

When the Eastern Wu soldiers heard that Yang Xiong was dead, their morale was high, and they desperately stepped forward to kill the Southern Han soldiers. Xu Sheng knew that Yang Xiong was not dead, and while chasing forward, he was about to shoot again. But before Xu Sheng's second arrow could be shot, a white light flashed in front of him, hitting Xu Sheng's door. I only heard Xu Sheng's "ah~" scream and fell off the horse.

Ding Feng and Xu Sheng have a very close relationship, and when they saw Xu Sheng fall off the horse and looked up, they saw a general facing him, and the white robe and silver armor holding a bow and arrow were not who Zhao Yun was. It turned out that Zhao Yun heard the sound of shouting and killing outside the camp and knew that Yang Xiong was fighting with the Wu army, so he led the troops out of the camp to help the battle, and saw that Xu Sheng wanted to hurt people with a secret arrow, so he preemptively shot Xu Sheng.

Zhao Yun shot Xu Sheng with an arrow, and shouted: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, who dares to fight with me." After drinking, he hung up the Falling Moon Bow and shot into the Wu army's formation.

Ding Feng wanted to avenge Xu Sheng and rode a horse to fight Zhao Yun. The two fought less than ten times, and Zhao Yun stabbed Ding Feng in the heart with a shot. Ding Feng yelled, abandoned his weapon, grabbed Zhao Yun's spear with both hands, and tried his best to pull Zhao Yun off the horse.

Zhou Tai's brother Zhou Ping saw that Ding Feng had created an excellent opportunity to swing his sword and slash Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's gentian gun was held by Ding Feng and it was difficult to get out for a while, seeing Zhou Ping's knife coming, Zhao Yun pulled out the green sword under his rib and slashed Zhou Ping to death. When Zhao Yun hacked Zhou Ping to death, Ding Feng was already dead and couldn't die anymore, so Zhao Yun withdrew the gentian gun and used his gun and sword to kill into the Wu army's formation, setting off a bloody storm.

Yang Xiong was not seriously injured, and he withdrew not because he was injured, but because the Eastern Wu soldiers could not resist. At this time, seeing Zhao Yun sending troops to respond, Yang Xiong turned around and resumed the battle, and also killed the enemy with Zhao Yun.

Zhou Tai died, and his brother saw that Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were dead, so he knew that there was no reason to win this battle, and he led the troops to retreat together with Zhu Zhi. Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong killed below the city before collecting their troops. Although the Wu army took advantage of this battle at the beginning, causing Yang Xiong to lose thousands of people, as soon as Zhao Yun came out, the Wu army lost more than 10,000 people, which was greater than Yang Xiong's losses.

The Wu army was defeated and entered the city, and Sun Quan and Zhou Yu hurriedly asked Zhou Tai why he only brought back these soldiers and horses. Zhou Tai knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, pleading guilty to Sun Quan while telling the story of his journey.

Zhou Yu calculated that Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were not Nanye's opponents, but they were defeated so badly, and only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses returned to the city. Originally, Zhou Yu's plan was that Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Taili should join forces with Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong first. As a result, Zhou Tai brought back too few remnants, not only failed to kill Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong, but instead broke Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, which made Zhou Yu heartbroken, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he was unconscious at that time.

Before the war, Zhou Yu blamed himself for overwork due to the financial crisis in Eastern Wu, and insisted on commanding the army while sick. At this moment, hearing that the 100,000-strong army was wiped out, Zhou Yu blamed himself even more, and under the mixture of shame and anger, he vomited blood and fainted on the hall.

Seeing that Zhou Yu fainted, Sun Quan hurriedly ordered someone to treat him, and when everyone carried Zhou Yu down to recuperate, Sun Quan couldn't help but hide his face and wept: "Gong Yi, Gong Ji, Zi Lie, Wen Xiang, Cheng Yuan and other Aiqing all died at the hands of Nan Ye, and now Gong Jin is sick due to the defeat of the army. ”

Zhang Zhao persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry! Now that there is a shortage of soldiers and major generals in the city, and the governor of Zhou is sick, His Majesty should strictly guard the city. After Zhou Dudu recovers from his illness, he will make a plan to defeat the enemy. ”

Sun Quan was also angry just now, now that there are less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city, the field battle is definitely not Nanye's opponent, and there is no other way than to defend the city, so he has to hang the battle card high. Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong were not in a hurry to attack the city, but continued to prepare and waited for Nanye's troops to arrive.

After Nan Ye defeated Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's people, Jiangji and Wu Jun were brought under his rule, and then led his troops to Jianye. Zhou Tai and Zhu Zhi returned to the army on the front foot, and Nan Ye arrived on the back foot, with a difference of only a few days.

Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong brought Nan Ye into the camp and informed Nan Ye that Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were dead. Nan Ye was overjoyed, rewarded the soldiers, and then rested for a day to start attacking the city. Nan Ye came prepared this time, and with the newly developed thunderbolt car, he directly fired at the gate and city wall of Jianye.
