As soon as Ling Tong finished speaking, bursts of iron hooves began to be heard in the distance, surging with the momentum of thunder. The sound quickly went from far to near, and in a blink of an eye, it was already within a hundred feet. Whether it was Ling Tong or the soldiers under him, he couldn't help but feel a burst of depression in his heart.

Wang Weixian was also a little anxious, yelled a few times, and commanded the soldiers to deploy. However, it was clear that the time given to the soldiers to prepare was too hasty, and many of the fortifications could only be hastily built, and the scene was a bit chaotic.

Due to Ling Tong's foresight, he did not let the grain and grass team stay in the open area, but walked through the hills and stepped on the official road. There are ravines and slopes on both sides of the official road from time to time, so it is difficult for the cavalry to exert its maximum strength on such terrain. And a few slightly larger grain trucks, across the middle of the road, because the official road is not spacious, can only accommodate about two vehicles in parallel, so the road is blocked, between the two, only one person is allowed to enter and exit.

The smaller grain carts in the back are scattered, but they are very regularly distributed, in a geometric circle, the large grain carts are outside, the small ones are inside, and there is a certain distance between them, even if one car is burning, it will not affect the other. Such a formation can not only defend, but also not easy to be broken by the opponent in one fell swoop, and the grain and grass will be burned.

From these details, it can be seen that Ling Tong still has some ability. It seems that his father Ling Ying taught well.

Ling Tongzhi was not idle, racing against time, checking for leaks everywhere, and striving to arrange the defense line better.

At this time, a terrible horn sounded in front of him, indicating that the enemy's cavalry had entered the attack range. Then there was the neighing of horses falling to the ground, rising and falling to each other, apparently being brought down by the ropes that had been laid out by the party. But the charge of the unstoppable cavalry, in just a blink of an eye, had already rushed through the first line of defense and came straight to the grain cart.

The speed and mobility of this light cavalry were really terrifying, and the overall movement was like a whirlwind. Ling Tong thought secretly, no wonder the lord wanted to be careful with himself. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, its own army is clearly inferior.

At this time, it was almost dark, and the ant-like legion in front of it was black and oppressive.

Ling Tong was on the stage, watching all the forms around him.

Although he was a little nervous when he led the troops for the first time, he was more excited and excited. In addition, several lieutenants are veterans and have rich military careers, so they will not be clumsy in command. At this time, Ling Tong saw that the enemy's cavalry had entered the firing range, and did not hesitate, and with a wave of the flag, a row of archers quickly climbed into the middle of the two grain carts, and the "brush" was a rain of arrows, enveloping the front.

It is said that it is an archer, but it is a repeater crossbow that has been improved and designed in the middle period, although the power and range are not as exaggerated as the strong crossbow, and the rate of fire is not very fast, but the advantage is that it is light and easy to use, and it can only fire five arrows in a row, and the target is not fixed, which is obviously very suitable for such chaotic battles and garrison battles.

Sure enough, the cavalry that rushed in front was in a state of confusion, and a wave fell in an instant, and the speed of the forward rush couldn't help but slow down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the archers organized another wave of arrows, with the help of huge grain carts, to resist the opponent's charge. The enemy cavalry immediately fell into passivity. If you want to rush, the grain cart is full of avenues, and there is no gap to drill; Retreat and can't retreat, for a while in a dilemma, you can only be in a mess there, in the middle of the arrow.

Zhou Yu in the rear knew the form at a glance, and at this time decisively ordered to change the formation, let the cavalry disperse and recover, prepare to detour left and right, look for a breakthrough, and then gather a group of rocket soldiers, intending to shoot the grain truck.

A wave of rockets quickly flew into the convoy, which immediately caused a lot of sparks, but the fire-fighting team inside had already prepared, and Ling Tong also expected that the other party had such a hand, so he immediately yelled and let the fire-fighting team come up.

Zhou Yu saw that this recruitment had little effect, so he immediately changed his mind, organized the infantry team that had just followed, attacked a little, hoping to open the gap, and then burned the grain cart.

Soldiers from both sides began to engage fiercely along the edge of the grain wagon.

The sword and shield soldiers borrowed the grain cart and guarded the inner road, stuck the position, and the bow and arrow had already been replaced with a long halberd to protect the back.

The enemy army was all halberd soldiers, and they began to threaten the defenders by taking advantage of their weapons.

The arms are mutually restrictive, and the sword and shield soldiers suffer a dark loss. Fortunately, the other party had no good way to break through the defense line, and kept sticking to the side of the grain truck.

But Zhou Yu was stubborn, and quickly found a flaw in the car formation, and added it to use. First, create an illusion, attack a little, and then attract the defender's forces, and then suddenly shift, concentrating on attacking the relatively weak point of defense.

This trick is old-fashioned, but it is very practical, Ling Tongtong can't draw more troops to defend, plus the time to prepare is too little, and there are some disadvantages in the troops, it didn't take long to break the gap, Zhou Yu's soldiers stabbed up, Zhou Wei led people to remedy, and several grain trucks were burned at once.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and flames.

As long as one thing is broken, it can be dangerous everywhere, and there is a possibility of collapse of the whole line at any time.

The form is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Jiangdong Army.

At this critical moment, the young and vigorous Ling Tong, with a small number of subordinates, with the spirit of the newborn calf not afraid of the tiger, set an example, picked up the weapons in his hands, fought bravely, plugged the gap, and prevented the enemy soldiers from pouring into the formation again, desperately not giving a step.

Ling Tong's father, Ling Ying, is a young man, full of courage and extraordinary martial arts. And under the influence of his father, Ling Tong has the tendency to be better than the blue. An oolong spear danced tiger and tiger, except for the fire and consciousness slightly worse, nothing else is inferior to his father. In the blink of an eye, there were many enemy soldiers' outlaw souls under his gun.

With his help, Wang Wei quickly stabilized the corner of the formation and began to organize manpower to encircle and annihilate the enemy who entered the formation.

It was already dark, and the lit grain carts lit up the battlefield.

Ling Tong's clothes and armor were disheveled, his clothes and helmet were gone, and there was a lot of blood on his face, which was very hideous under the firelight.

Ling Tong knew that he couldn't retreat, once he retreated, all his efforts would be in vain, so he was desperately on the front line, even if he was injured, he still fought to the death, and he would not retreat.

Sure enough, it became more and more difficult for the enemy soldiers to get through this line of defense and kill them in the center. At the same time, under his encouragement, the soldiers on the other side eliminated the initial uneasiness, returned to their previous combat effectiveness, and began to be brave, plus there were many soldiers around to support them, and they reorganized an effective defense line, and never gave Zhou Yu some chances.

Some of the soldiers who went inside began to be besieged. It is difficult for the outside to get in, and the opponent's cavalry team can only roam around the periphery, and there is no strong support at all, and without Zhou Yu's order, it is useless to abandon the horse and fight on foot.

Zhou Yu saw that the strong attack could not work, and he could not dry up, and he was worried that Tai Shi Ci's reinforcements would come up, so he decisively called Jin and ordered the soldiers to retreat, ready to find another opportunity.

It's okay outside, just slap your ass and leave, and it's difficult to run inside, and you'll be killed.

Just in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu and his soldiers disappeared without a trace.

The soldiers escorting the grain carts let out a burst of cheers to celebrate their victory after watching the enemy depart.

At this time, Ling Tong let out a long sigh of relief, although his face was a little tired, but it was more of a smug look. While secretly sighing in his heart, he looked at the soldiers under his command, all of them looked tired and bloodstained on their bodies, but they were all as proud as themselves.

Thinking of Zhou Yu, when it is broken, it is broken, it comes quickly, it goes faster, and there is really the wind of a general. The lord has such an opponent, and there are many threats.

Ling Tong began to ask the soldiers to sort out the casualties and losses after the war.

The battle took less than an hour, more than 100 soldiers were killed or wounded, and 8 grain trucks were burned, and the overall loss was not large.

The victory in this battle not only ensured the loss of grain and grass, but also made Ling Tong stand out among many famous generals in Jiangdong and become one of the four little dragons in the epicenter of the Central Plains, laying a good foundation.

After this, the soldiers' spirits were highly concentrated, and the grain trucks began to rush overnight.

Soon they met the Tai Shi Ci army who caught up with them after hearing the news, and the stones in everyone's hearts were settled.

It turned out that Tai Shi Ci was worried about Zhou Yu's tricks, and he coincidentally hurried away overnight like Ling Tong, and when he heard the before and after of this blockade battle, he couldn't help but praise Ling Tong, thinking that he had his father's style, and then hurried to report to Zhang Lang.

At this time, Zhang Lang had already learned that Sun Ce had been captured, and the overall situation had basically been decided, so he sent someone to report to Guo Jia, and let him take full authority to deal with the affairs of Runan, and command Chen Wujun to attack Xincai County. At the same time, he also ordered that no matter what, he had to find a way to recruit Sun Ce, and it was a pity to kill such a tiger general. Then he sent a letter to Jiang Qin, ordering him to take Jiangxia City as soon as possible, and took Zhou Yu's last foothold. And after thinking about it again, he couldn't bear the plan to go to see Sun Ce immediately, and decided to lead people to chase after him, if he could contain Zhou Yu, it would be best to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future. If it doesn't work, it should be regarded as a slow retreat to Koto.

The battle situation is basically decided, Zhang Lang is relieved, and the evil spirit in his backlog has finally been relieved.

The next day, he ordered the generals, let Zhao Yun temporarily serve as the city guard, preside over Xiyang City, and he took Yang Rong, Zhao Yu, Dian Wei and 10,000 soldiers to start the Chaoyang Spring area slowly approaching.

The scenery along the way is infinite, Zhang Lang doesn't know how comfortable it is.

Within a few days, he met with Ling Tong Grain Truck, and Zhang Lang praised him, thinking that he had done a good job. It is indeed quite difficult to lose only a few grain trucks under Zhou Yu's sudden attack and minimize the casualties of the soldiers. It shows that Ling Tong has a good military mind, and I believe that it will not be long before he can become a general who stands alone.

Of course, Ling Tong did not dare to be arrogant, and his performance was in the middle of the rules.

When Zhang Lang asked about Tai Shici, Ling Tong said that he had separated from his grain convoy one day after another and retreated along the trail of Zhou Yu's army.

Zhang Lang pondered for a while, and then asked Ling Tong to escort the last batch of grain and grass to Xiyang City, and first solve the supply problem of the soldiers. Then he discussed with Tian Feng: "Fu Hao, what do you say you want to do now?" ”

Tian Feng couldn't make up his mind at this time, thinking left and right, and finally swallowed: "Lord, Zhou Yu's whereabouts are really mysterious, and before he really finds out his direction, his subordinates think it's better not to act rashly." ”

Zhang Lang shook his head and said, "This won't work, it will make us passive." ”

Tian Feng said with a smile: "No matter how powerful Zhou Yu is, now he can only be regarded as a dragon trapped in shallow water, and the tiger falls in Pingyang, just imagine that he is even gone, where else can he go?" Is it possible to fall into the grass? At this point, Tian Feng laughed.

Zhang Lang also laughed twice and said: "If it's okay for him to fall into the grass, he always has to go out to rob something, I'm afraid that he will avoid the sight of our army, flee to other places, and become someone else's subordinate, then he really has sesame seeds and lost watermelon." ”

Tian Feng understood what Zhang Lang meant, and pondered: "The lord has forced him to be anxious, won't he bite us back?" ”

Zhang Lang raised his chin, stared at the sky, looked at the sky in pairs of flying birds, his heart lit up, and he shouted: "There is a way." ”

Tian Feng was pleasantly surprised: "What is the master's plan, can you let your subordinates know?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "The way can't be said now." Then he grabbed Tian Feng's arm tightly and said sincerely: "Fu Hao, if you succeed or not, you must help me find a way." ”

Tian Feng didn't understand what Zhang Lang was doing for a while, and said in confusion: "Lord, what do you want your subordinates to do?" ”

Zhang Lang picked up Tian Feng, walked into his camp, and then opened the map on the case, pointed to the red dot on it, and said seriously: "I want you to think of a way to force Zhou Yu out of Yuzhou, with his current position, the first thing is certain is that he will not retreat to Runan before he completes the task, and it is impossible to be bold enough to really dare to sneak attack Shouchun, because there are Xu Shu and the army guarding there." Then, in this case, the three roads he is most likely to take are: first, retreat to Jiangxia, reorganize the military horses, observe the bureau, and then do development. second, the reinforcement of Xincai appeared as a surprise force and relieved the siege of Lusu; Third, it is possible to run a long distance, go straight to Wancheng, and destroy our grain and grass base camp in one go. ”

Tian Feng nodded in agreement and said, "What the lord said is very reasonable. ”

Zhang Lang raised his head, his eyes sparkled and said, "I want Fu Hao to think of a way to force him to Wancheng, and then I will compete with him there." ”

"Ahh Tian Feng exclaimed, obviously not understanding the secret, and was very puzzled: "What is the intention of the lord?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled mysteriously, then shook his head.
