The night was getting deeper.

There were a few stars hanging sparsely in the sky, and the dim starlight appeared and disappeared in the dark clouds.

The north wind that whistled from time to time brought the earth to a bleak state, which was very cold and biting.

Although it was just early winter, the severe cold climate of the mountains still made some soldiers at a loss. Fortunately, there were also a lot of material supplies in the grain trucks escorted by Ling Tong, otherwise how could the soldiers' thin clothes withstand the harsh winter? Although the soldiers all wore military padded jackets, in the biting night wind, some soldiers still shivered with cold.

It's almost four watches, and the soldiers on the night vigil have changed batch after batch, but the lights in the main camp have been burning.

Huang Xu was fully armed, sitting straight in the center of the village, staring at the outside of the village, as if he wanted to see through the night, motionless, without a trace of expression on his face. The whole person is like a plaster. If it weren't for the breathing, it would really make people wonder if he was petrified. Some of the lieutenants in the seat cheered up, and some squinted their eyes slightly and took a nap from time to time.

The village was quiet, and you could occasionally hear the burning of the wick, the footsteps of the soldiers outside the village, and the neighing of horses.

Little by little, time passed. The sky is gradually beginning to move towards dawn.

Finally, a deputy general couldn't stand it anymore, and opened his mouth to break the silent scene, saying: "General, it's nearly five watches, it is estimated that Zhou Yu and they will not come, right?" ”

Huang Xu still had the same expression just now, but several lieutenants in the seat came back to their senses at the same time, staring at Huang Xu with their eyes.

After waiting for a long time, Huang Xu slowly spoke: "The closer to dawn, the more dangerous it is. During this time, the soldiers are the most sleepy, the combat effectiveness is the worst, and the defense line is the weakest, so we must not take it lightly. ”

The generals felt that what Huang Xu said was very reasonable, so they stopped talking, and the camp returned to calm again.

After a while, the day dawned and the belly of the fish gradually appeared, and after a while, the sky will be bright.

Huang Xu was young and vigorous in the end, and after staying up all night, he began to be a little unable to sit still, and his position wavered.

Is Zhou Yu really not coming? Huang Xu asked himself secretly in his heart.

I waited patiently for a while, and the sky began to brighten, I guess it won't come, right?

Just as he was about to give the order to let the soldiers go back to rest, a terrible horn suddenly sounded outside the tent, and the sound was only half sounded, and then it stopped, obviously something terrible.

At the same time, several lieutenants in the tent stood up from their seats at the same time.

Huang Xu finally sneered and said, "Sure enough, it's still here." ”

The lieutenant generals under the tent stayed up all night, and all their eyes turned red, and one of them said excitedly: "General, I really got you the right thing." ”

Huang Xu raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "According to the plan at the beginning, all the generals will perform their duties and prepare for a battle. ”

"Yes." The generals quickly left the camp and rushed to the front line.

Huang Xu didn't dare to stay, and walked outside with the two lieutenants who had not received the task, ready to watch the development of the situation.

There was a commotion outside Dazhai, and a group of soldiers guarding the outer line thought that they were all right, and they were all dizzy and sleepy, but they were suddenly startled by the whistle of the sentry, and instinctively shouted at the same time: "Oh no, there is an enemy attack." ”

As soon as the words were finished, one of the generals stepped forward and began to command the soldiers.

The dense iron hooves in front of him were like a whirlwind, and the speed of the charge was too fast, but in a blink of an eye, it had reached the front of the gate. The soldiers immediately closed the gate of the village, and the archers inside hastily set up arrows and fired them indiscriminately.

But this didn't seem to be able to stop the enemy's desperate determination, and soon several fierce generals led a small team of people, similar to death squads,

Braving countless arrows and flying crossbows, he forcibly rushed through the defense line of the walled gate, and then opened the walled gate without his life. Huang Xujun didn't seem to expect that the other party would be so desperate, or consciously retreated, and on the surface it seemed that he was suppressed by the enemy's momentum, and the Zhaimen was quickly lost.

After a brief period of resistance, the soldiers began to retreat frequently. And Zhou Yu's cavalry team had no scruples about attacking the defense line of Huangxu Dazhai, and the front-line soldiers began to scatter like a tide.

The cavalry team even rampage, charging towards the camp.

At this time, several other groups of resting soldiers in the center of Dazhai had quickly assembled and prepared to counterattack.

Huang Xu took in all the front-line battles in his eyes on the stage, and a faint smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

The officers and men of the three armies were really well-trained, and the gate of the fortress was lost, just to let the enemy in. After they all came in, they closed the big net again, and the soldiers on both sides surrounded and closed up, and they closed the door and beat the dogs, and when the time came, I didn't believe that Zhou Yu would not be wiped out.

Watching the cavalry go deeper and deeper into the heart of the party, and destroying a lot of tent materials on the way, it can threaten itself in less than half a minute. Huang Xu snorted coldly, decisively raised the apricot yellow flag in his hand, and waved it vigorously.

The soldiers who responded immediately beat the golden drums in the rear and sounded the horn of the counterattack.

The drums in the village immediately shook loudly, and the ruts rang for several miles.

Li Feng and his soldiers, who had been frozen all night outside, rushed out at the same time, shouting loudly from time to time, with a momentum like a rainbow. Like a tiger out of its cage, it roared and rushed out, as if to take out all the suffering of the previous night on the enemy.

Li Feng began to prepare to cut off the enemy's retreat, so that they would not return.

The frontal troops in the village organized a strong counterattack, not only protecting the center and preventing the enemy from approaching Shuaipeng, but also the soldiers scattered on all sides began to close quickly, like a large open net, ready to begin to trap.

The enemy army seemed to be in chaos, and from time to time people were heard screaming: "General Zhou, it's not good, it's a trick." ”

Huang Xu thought overjoyedly: Could it be that Zhou Yu personally led the team? This is good, if he is captured alive, not only will the last piece of the lord's heart disease be removed, but he can also show his majesty. Huang Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at the enemy army that began to be chaotic, and the expression of victory spread on his face. Zhou Yu is just like this, he has a little trick, and he is not ready to catch it. Huang Xu thought proudly. It's just that Huang Xu suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, all this seems too simple, right? However, he soon forgot about the coming of victory.

"Brothers, break out." The roar was heard from afar. The enemy began to break through.

Is it that easy? Huang Xu snorted.

The Jiangdong soldiers had almost formed an encirclement network, which was located on all sides, and began to encircle the enemy troops in it.

And the enemy army was obviously not reconciled to this, and fought back strongly.

For a while, the screams were repeated, the flesh and blood were flying, and the few cavalry of the enemy were still brave and abnormal, but there was not much open terrain, and they could not give full play to the advantages of strong impact, and once they lost their advantages, they were completely suppressed.

Seeing that the momentum of encirclement and annihilation was formed, Huang Xu suddenly frowned, and secretly screamed in his heart.

I don't know when a particularly strange army appeared in the southwest direction, although the number was small, but all of them were good, ordinary soldiers were not their opponents at all, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and from time to time there were clear golden bells.

"It's Ganning's bell soldiers." Huang Xu blurted out without thinking about it.

When he didn't follow Zhang Lang, he had heard of Gan Ning's prestige in Nanyang, and now he is on this trip, and Gan Ning is one of the people who should be careful about guarding against him. The bell soldiers he led were extremely powerful, and they were out of the regular troops at that time, gathering mountains and forests to recruit Zhou Yu to recruit Anzhong, except for losing to Zhang Ning's skeleton soldiers, I hadn't heard of him lose to anyone.

Now that Gan Ning is here, Zhou Yu must also be there.

Huang Xu tried his best to calm himself down, thinking that it was no wonder that the other party was so arrogant and so confident in himself, it turned out that there was Gan Ning's team of strange soldiers. But you also underestimate the quality of my Jiangdong Army. Huang Xu snorted coldly again, and was about to order the mobilization of men and horses to support the southwest gate, when the form suddenly changed greatly.

Under the leadership of an enemy general, the defenders of the southwest gate quickly became vulnerable, as easy as chopping a turnip. Before reinforcements could be reached, the Bell Soldiers had opened a breakthrough and allowed the enemy to flee for their lives.

Huang Xu was shocked and angry, he actually forgot that the layout and structure of Dazhai were completely from the outside in, and the defense was mainly based on the outside attack. If the enemy forces come out from within, the defensive power will be greatly reduced. At this critical moment, the line of defense is as if it were a non-existent one.

In the final analysis, Huang Xu is a shallow marcher, once there is a difference in experience, coupled with the fact that the enemy army has many fierce generals such as Gan Ning, and the hundred secrets are sparse, it is a nine-bladed peak, and the success falls short.

Huang Xu was unwilling to let the fat fly away like this, and immediately got off the platform, asked the soldiers to prepare their horses, and prepared to lead the soldiers to rush out.

The enemy retreated, and Huang Xu led 3,000 soldiers to chase and fight, swearing in his heart that he would not catch Zhou Yu and would not give up.

The two sides began to fight a tug-of-war, the enemy fought and left, and gradually Huang Xu and his main army moved away from Dazhai.

At this time, an adjutant general saw that the situation was not right, and said to Le Majin: "General, don't chase after the poor, the enemy army will fight and leave, obviously to lure our army, be careful of the enemy's deception." ”

Huang Xu is a smart person after all, but he was carried away, and as soon as he told this deputy general, he immediately sobered up, and saw that the fleeing enemy troops in front of him were only a few people, his face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Oh no, the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, Dazhai is dangerous, and the army retreats quickly." ”

When the enemy saw Huang Xu's men and horses turn around, they suddenly stopped retreating and began to counterattack.

Huang Xu's heart was in turmoil, he didn't fight, and if he didn't fight, he would taunt and chase the enemy behind him.

At this critical time, Zhang Lang led the soldiers to rush over from the side road.

The Ganning soldiers intercepted the front and back, and they couldn't get out for a while.

Huang Xu was overjoyed, and immediately met with Zhang Lang and told Zhang Lang the matter concisely.

Zhang Lang said angrily: "You have been marching for several years, why don't you have more eyes?" Why don't you take you to lead your men and horses, return to Dazhai to defend against it, and protect Sun Ce from being robbed. Let me clean it up here. ”

Huang Xu didn't want anything else, he knew that he couldn't escape the blame, and quickly led the people of the headquarters to retreat.

But Gan Ning's troops were entangled with Zhang Lang, and they couldn't get away for a while.

It turned out that Zhang Lang secretly led the soldiers up early, and then hid only ten miles away from Huangxu Dazhai. Observe every move in the battle. Seeing that the remnants of the enemy army were defeated and would retreat, the whole army attacked.

Because it was dark, he couldn't see who the other party was, but relying on Huang Xu's judgment, he shouted: "Zhou Yu is there?" ”

In the melee of the enemy army, one person shouted: "Zhang Langgou, your grandfather Gan Ning is here, last time you let your life escape, this time see where you run?" ”

Zhang Lang looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and suddenly said sharply: "Gan Ning, if you surrender obediently, I won't remember the last time you killed my two people, if you still dare to resist, next year's today will be your taboo." ”

Gan Ning's sneer came from the battlefield: "You are not worthy of doing it with me Gan Ning." ”

Zhang Lang glared angrily and shouted, "Where is Dian Wei?" ”

Dian Wei, who had been serving Zhang Lang all the time, immediately slapped out excitedly and responded: "The subordinates are here." ”

Zhang Lang said fiercely: "Today, Gan Ning will be handed over to you, whether you live or die, and avenge Yan Ming's blood hatred." ”

Dian Wei said viciously: "My subordinates understand. ”

After Dian Wei received the order, he slapped his horse and danced with a double halberd, rushed over, and shouted: "Gan Ning Xiaoer, you have the courage to fight to the death with Dian Wei." ”

Gan Ning let out a long smile and said, "Why not, Gan wants to see how Zhang Lang's number one has gone through the process." ”

Zhang Lang immediately ordered the soldiers to light torches, and whispered a few words to Zhao Yu on the side.

Zhao Yu originally wanted to go out and fight Gan Ning, hating Zhang Lang for blood, but after hearing Zhang Lang's words again, he immediately led a team of men and horses to leave, obviously Zhang Lang was not worried about Huang Xu Dazhai, let her support and go, and he was relieved to avenge Yan Ming.

In fact, Gan Ning would not be stupid enough to really compete with Zhang Lang here, but he knew that he was suffering. If Zhang Lang's brigade is allowed to support, even if Zhou Yu really saves Sun Ce, he is afraid that he will have escaped. He desperately tried his best to drag Zhang Lang here without remembering any way, just to give Zhou Yu more time to rescue Sun Ce. If Gan Ning can do this, it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, and whether he can succeed or not is up to fate.

Of course, Zhang Lang also knew Gan Ning's intentions, so he took Zhao Yu away and asked him to help Huang Xu go.

Torches have been lit on all sides, shining on the battlefield, Zhang Lang is slightly scheming, and said coldly: "Gan Ning, if you can win Dian Wei today, you can't stop letting you go, even your brothers will start to swagger out of here." ”

Although Gan Ning was a little moved, he still said calmly: "Is this true? ”

Zhang Lang laughed and said, "Why did I, Zhang Lang, deceive people? ”

Gan Ning's eyes were shining, and his fighting spirit was soaring.

Zhang Lang snorted coldly in his heart and said secretly: "Gan Ning, don't be ignorant of arrest, don't blame me for really killing you when the time comes." ”
