Xiahoudun was seriously injured, and the news could not be blocked, because he fell in public.

On the one hand, Le Jin urgently sent it back to Yingchuan, and on the other hand, he quickly drafted a war report and sent it to the northern imperial court.

The morale of Cao's army was dealt a heavy blow, and the soldiers were panicked and uneasy. Even if Le Jin came forward in time to inspect various departments and appease the soldiers, it was still difficult to calm down that invisible worry.

Although Wang Xu didn't know how serious Xiahou Xuan's injuries were, and he didn't know that Cao Jun had been timid, he was sure that Xiahoudun was absolutely injured. Of course, he would not give up such an advantage, and in the early morning of the next day, he personally ordered 30,000 troops and launched a fierce attack on Cao Ying.

There is no trick in this, and the confrontation between the two armies is compared with the combat power of the soldiers and the water products commanded by the generals.

"Order the Second Army on the Left Wing to advance through!"

"The front of the Chinese army is withdrawn, and the third, fourth, and sixth divisions are on top!"

"The sword and shield soldiers on the right flank formed a dense array and burst strongly, and the crossbowmen threw and suppressed them in the back."

"Order Zhou Zhi to personally lead the greedy wolf guard to the rear of the enemy camp to contain the enemy's frontal forces!"

Wang Xu's face was grim, standing high on the majestic Chinese chariot, behind him were eight banners commanding various armies, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were on his left and right, silently staring at the battlefield ahead.

Orders continued to come out of his mouth, and with each utterance, a flag in the rear was waved, or the heralds beside the chariot galloped away.

"Report !! The enemy battalion dispatched 500 elite cavalry, rushed out from the flank of the right battalion, and attacked the foot soldiers of our attack on the right battalion, and General Wu Lan was forced to gather and form a circle to resist and ask for support! ”

The herald's return did not make Wang Xu's face change in the slightest, and he was silent for a moment. Hurriedly ordered: "Order Zhang Jing." Led 300 Wyvern troops under his command to rush to the rescue. Destroy the enemy! Li Yan was ordered to order him to command 5,000 troops and go around behind the enemy camp to launch a strong attack. ”

The fierce offensive and defensive battles continued, and the offensive was met with stubborn resistance from Cao's army.

Another hour later, the offensive and defensive forces of the army have entered a white heat, echelon after echelon. In accordance with the order, they took turns to launch a powerful assault on the enemy camp.

Xu Shu observed for so long, and the doubts in his heart became more and more intense. "Cao's soldiers are obviously demoralized, but why are they so resilient that they have never made progress so far? And today's defense deployment and deployment are obviously completely different from yesterday's, and they are not quite like Xiahoudun's means. ”

"It's definitely not Xiahoudun in command!" Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and he was very sure. "Xiahou Xuan's commander has always been known for his strong offensive power, but today he is the general of the Cao army. In the process of dispatching troops and commanding the formation, he is not known for his offensive power. It's resilience. The combination of its soldiers, the timing of advancing and retreating, the means of changing defenses back and forth, and the strength of the attack are far inferior to Xiahoudun, but its toughness is extremely strong. ”

"If according to what Feng Xiao said, then the commanding generals at this time should be happy." Xu Shu glanced back at Guo Jia and frowned: "But Xiahou is the commander of the Cao army, why did he hand over the command to Le Jin, could it be that he was injured yesterday and was so strict that he didn't have the energy to command the soldiers?" ”

"When it is." Guo Jia nodded.

Wang Xu listened to the conversation between the two, his eyes burned, and he knew in his heart that looking at the command of Cao Jun today, it indicated that the next battle would be more difficult.

It's not that Le Jin is more talented than Xiahoudun, it depends on the situation, in terms of the current conditions and situation, the advantages that Le Jin has are more beneficial to resist the army of Chu.

This advantage is subtle, Xiahou Tang commanded the troops, through his command ability, way of thinking, leadership charm, can make the soldier's attack power greatly enhanced, but from the means of Lejin, it can be seen that his advantage is tenacity, his way of thinking and philosophy are different, the command style is also different, although the attack power is not as good as Xiahoudun, but it inadvertently reduces the physical consumption of the soldiers, reduces the psychological pressure of the soldiers, and so on.

When these subtle details are embodied in the entire battlefield, it becomes a characteristic, a unique advantage, and the subtle changes of one person have little impact, but ten thousand people are huge.

"The history book praises Lejin as one of the five good generals, and he really lives up to the name of a famous general!"

Although he was an opponent on the battlefield at the moment, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart......

For the next three days, the two armies fought to the death.

Three days of bombardment, each with all its means.

But Cao Jun seemed to be crumbling, and he always felt that he was about to be breached, but he just couldn't get in.

Zhou Zhi was furious, and even on the second day, he disobeyed Wang Xu's order that he was not allowed to charge the battle in person, and he took the lead and led a thousand sword and shield soldiers to rush into the left flank of the enemy camp. The three rounds of impact before and after were all desperate battles, but in the end they were blocked back.

In the end, even Wang Xu couldn't help it, and after handing over the command to Guo Jia, he personally went into battle, rushed for seven rounds, and was also beaten back for seven rounds, and was even almost injured.

At this time, he already knew the news that Xiahoudun was seriously injured and left, and he knew that the morale of the Cao army was not high, but this Cao army, under the command and influence of Le Jin, was stunned to block the crazy attack for three consecutive days, which really made people jump in anger.

On the fourth day, 10,000 reinforcements from the Cao army arrived, but they could not support Duyang, they had been ambushed by Xu Shu, and they were defeated and retreated.

On the fifth day, the east side of Cao Ying was broken by Li Yan and Zhang Jing three times, and Le Jin personally took his own soldiers to fill the leaks and bravely recapture them, but he was also in the fierce battle, and was injured by Li Yan and Zhang Jing together, and huge wounds were drawn on his chest and back, and his own fine iron armor was also damaged.

On the sixth day, Le Jin went into battle with an injury and stood until he was exhausted, so that the crumbling Cao Ying stood proudly in the wind, but unfortunately Cao Ying couldn't hold it anymore after all.

Around Li Yan, he was also angry, and when he collected the troops, he yelled: "Le Wenqian, I will break this village tomorrow and take your head!" ”

"Hahaha...... But here it is, what is the fear of this general, and what is the fear of my Cao Junjian! ”

Lejin's voice is heroic and heroic.

Although the soldiers of the Chu State were not angry and angry in their hearts, they also had infinite admiration for the blood-stained general from the bottom of their hearts. This Cao army, which had lost its main general and could be broken in an instant, was able to survive because of this person, because of his personality charm, because of his command ability, and because of his unyielding bravery, and blocked the attack of the Chu army.

Guo Jia was extremely emotional, looking up to the sky and sighing: "Cao Cao has such arms to help, I really don't know when the world will be determined?" ”

Wang Xu didn't speak, just looked at the blood-stained figure from a distance, and his thoughts were complicated.

On the seventh day, Le Jin fought to the death and was severely injured, although he did his best, it was difficult to change the doomed defeat after all!

In the earth-shattering roar of the soldiers of the Chu State, Cao Ying, broken!

Seeing that Cao's army was completely defeated, Wang Xu hurriedly galloped on horseback and took the lead. "Catch Le Jin alive! Bounty! ”

"Capture Le Jin alive!"

"Capture Le Wenqian alive!"

When the soldiers of Chu heard the bounty, they seemed to be crazy, and rushed into the camp, like a pack of wolves rushing to kill their prey.

"Withdraw! Remove! Evacuate! ”

Le Jin was not reckless, he held on to this place for seven days, he had completed the task, and at the moment when the camp was broken, although he was exhausted due to his injuries, he still organized a retreat.

Cao Hong led his troops out of the city to rescue, but was frantically besieged by the Jingzhou army, under the absolute superiority of troops and morale, his five thousand soldiers and horses did not resist for long, and quickly routed, but he turned the impact, but he successfully bought time for Le Jin's escape, and almost let Le Jin break out of the Chu army.

The two of them then led the remnants and hurriedly withdrew.

In the joy of victory, Guo Jia announced that he would kill chickens and sheep and reward the three armies!

Wang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, although the time dragged on for a longer period of time, which slightly affected the entire plan, but after all, he still caught up and did not hurt the overall situation.

But just when he was in a good mood and appeased the soldiers, Zhou Zhi came in a hurry, looking anxious.

"Boss, something happened, something happened!"

"What's wrong?" Wang Xu frowned.

"I just received an urgent report, Wancheng fell last night!"

"Where did it fall?" Wang Xu's face was full of incredulity.

"Wancheng!" Zhou Zhi gritted his teeth and said.

Wang Xu's face turned blue in an instant, like a wounded beast, and he scolded: "Wancheng has 10,000 defenders, and the city is well-defended, why did it fall without any news?" Who is the guard, how to defend the city, no matter who it is, cut it down for Lao Tzu! ”

No wonder he was so excited, Wancheng was too important, so important that he couldn't let go.

Wancheng is the county capital of the entire Nanyang, and it is also a transportation artery, both military status and economic status are the top priority. More importantly, he was the rear of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and he was also the first important town in Jingzhou to resist the Cao army, and he hoarded countless grain and grass materials.

The fall at this time is tantamount to drawing a salary from the bottom of the kettle, not only his Northern Expedition army, but even Zhang He's Eastern Army going north, will become a lone army, falling into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back, which is absolutely unimaginable, and the most incomprehensible thing for him is how could Wancheng fall?

Zhou Zhi also looked ugly, but in the face of Wang Xu's anger, he was quite helpless. "Boss, the guard of Wancheng is Huo Jun's brother Huo Du, in fact, he is not at fault. However, even if the boss wants to cut it, it will be too late, he has already died in the battle last night. ”

"Huo Duk!!"

When Wang Xu heard that it was him, he was instantly stunned, and his anger subsided, but what followed was a fierce cramping pain in his chest, this is an old man who has followed him for many years, has experienced countless battles and battles, has made great achievements, and is loyal, once in Hanzhong, he has already won the world.

"What the hell is going on? Huo Du has a steady personality, is quite wise, and has a lot of experience in leading troops and defending the city, how could he suddenly die overnight? ”

"Alas! It's all to blame! Zhou Zhi's eyes also showed indescribable pain, and he had a good relationship with Huo Du and Huo Jun.

"Who!"

"Jingxiang celebrity, Wanxian county order, Liao Li, Liao Gongyuan, who is as famous as Pang Tong!" (To be continued......)
