Chapter 286: Cunning as a fox Xiahou Yuan
Jiangdong found problems internally and immediately responded to changes, but just after stabilizing the decline, there was an accident on the battlefield.
A new enemy appeared in the rear, that is, Xiahou Yuan's department that attacked Shaobei.
Xiahou Yuan's 2,000 men were all cavalry, and he arrived at Shaobi at the appointed time, and soon found the warship anchored in the lake, and immediately launched the destruction.
Sun Quan besieged Shouchun for three months, and sent scouts to the main roads of land and water, and he thought that he was foolproof, so he left a thousand people to defend in Shaobei, but he was attacked by Xiahou Yuan's way.
Xiahou Yuan's cavalry was mighty and majestic, and the number of defenders in Shaobi was too small to dare to get off the ship to fight with them, so they could only use the warship as a cover, while shooting with bows and arrows to defend themselves, and at the same time send fast boats to Shouchun by water to ask for help.
Fighting on land, the Shaobi defenders had little chance of winning; Fighting bows and arrows to shoot from a distance, Xiahou Yuan's people are all good at riding and shooting.
After several rounds of arrow rain, the Shaobi defenders were directly shot out of the uniform.
Bows and arrows are invincible in hand-to-hand combat, but the number of people is also inferior.
The Shaobi defenders could only flee, but there were thousands of warships guarded by thousands of people, and many ships were destined to be unmanned, leaving room for Xiahou Yuan to burn the ships and cause sabotage.
By the time Xu Kun led his army to Shaobei, Xiahou Yuan had already burned more than 200 warships.
Xu Kun also led more than 10,000 troops to help, his ability to command the army was very good, Xiahou Yuan tentatively fought once, and immediately led the army to the east.
Two thousand light cavalry, the advantage is in mobility, if they are entangled with Xu Kun, the consequences are unimaginable.
Before the Yellow River set sail, Cao Cao had told Xiahou Yuan a thousand times, so that Xiahou Yuan understood his position, used light cavalry to contain and divide the enemy, and handed over the desperate work to Zhang Liao.
Dirty work is tiring, and they are all looking for generals.
Xiahou Yuan successfully attracted the main general Xu Kun and more than 10,000 soldiers to Shaobei, and used the mobility advantage of the light cavalry to create a time difference to launch a joint attack with Zhang Liao, with a high probability of defeating the remaining enemies, thus solving the dilemma of Shouchun.
Xu Kun had rich combat experience, and he did not launch a pursuit, but left 2,000 men to protect the warship first, and then followed the guidance of the scouts to Shouchun.
The southern combat water network is vertical and horizontal, and the warships in Jiangdong are more precious than the warhorses, Xu Kun prevented Xiahou Yuan from dangling a shot, and used the advantage of cavalry to come back by detouring to destroy the warships.
Due to the scarcity of war horses in Jiangdong, the main forces were all foot soldiers, and Xu Kun's two-legged soldiers could not catch up with Xiahou Yuan's cavalry at all.
Seeing that the sky was coming to an end, Xu Kun strung together today's events and faintly felt a hint of something wrong.
Half of the scouts sent by Xu Kun were killed, and the rest were forced to follow along the way, but he still had a firm goal of advancing towards Shouchun.
Although there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses outside Shouchun City at this time, Sun Quan's commanding ability was really worrying.
Xu Kun believed that the Jiangdong soldiers dared to fight, so he was afraid that this young lord would command blindly, and Xiahou Yuan, who had just fought against him, was as cunning as a fox, and he would definitely make something big.
Just when Xu Kun's troops were marching in a hurry, Xiahou Yuan had already arrived at the Shouchun battlefield before dark.
Seeing that his own people fought tenaciously with more fights and fewer fights, Xiahou Yuan immediately divided the light cavalry into multiple teams and launched attacks from the weak points on the left and right flanks of Jiangdong.
At dusk, the sky is overcast.
The cavalry rushed and collided, instantly breaking the balance of the battlefield.
The advantage of the new force brought by Lu Mian and Deng Dang was also wiped out when the war horses collided and neighed.
Panic causes riots, and riots change formations.
The misalignment of the formation caused the soldiers to leave the group, which in turn affected the implementation of military orders.
Zhang Liao and Cao Chun saw Xiahou Yuan attacking, and they were also prepared for the chaos of the enemy formation, and the two seized the opportunity to encourage the soldiers to launch a fierce attack, and once again suppressed the opponent from the momentum.
At this time, the Jiangdong Army was like a pizza served on the table, which was torn into several pieces with a light tear.
The formation was cut by the cavalry, the various departments were soon cut off from each other, the army's command system was gradually paralyzed, and Sun Quan was once again in crisis.
In the final counteroffensive, Cao Chun and Xiahoudun met at close range.
After Xiahoudun met, he solemnly hugged his fists and thanked: "Zihe, if you hadn't arrived in time, I might have to bury my bones in Shouchun."
Cao Chun replied: "The lord has always remembered Shouchun, but the war in Hebei has not been settled for a long time, let's kill the Jiangdong rats first, and then return to the city later and then slowly reminisce."
"Okay, I've been aggrieved for three months, and I'm going to kill today."
Seeing Xiahoudun holding the handle of the knife tightly, Cao Chun pointed to him in the distance and reminded: "Oh, the person with the golden armor and golden helmet in the crowd is Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, if Yuan Rang can capture this guy, he will definitely be able to help the lord take Jiangdong." ”
"Very good, I want to catch Sun Quan Xiao'er with my own hands."
Xiahou raised his sword and slapped the horse, and took his soldiers to look directly at Sun Quan and chase him.
The Jiangdong soldiers and horses were attacked from both sides, and the rout speed was much faster than that outside the east gate before, and it was completely dispersed in less than half an hour, and the scene once again became a one-sided chase.
Before nightfall, the sky turns gray.
Both sides did not have time to prepare their torches, and both fleeing and killing were affected by the line of sight, and it was unknown whether they would leave the battlefield alive.
Sun Quan was separated from the brigade in the chaos, but it was clear that Cao Jun was eyeing him, and Sun Quan's guards were getting fewer and fewer.
At the critical moment, Zhou Tai reminded Sun Quan: "Lord, your golden helmet is too eye-catching, take it off and throw it away." ”
"Oh"
Sun Quan was in chaos at this time, and after hearing this, he hurriedly took off the golden helmet and wanted to throw it, but was taken by Zhou Tai with his hand.
"If there is no helmet to protect him, in case he is injured by a cold arrow in the dark, it is Zhou Tai's sin, and the lord wears the helmet of the last general." Zhou Tai took off his helmet and handed it to Sun Quan without saying anything.
"That Youping himself" Although Sun Quan was worried, his body was very honest and wore Zhou Tai's helmet.
"I'm fine" Zhou Tai hugged Sun Quan's golden helmet and thought about it, suddenly put it on his head, and explained to Sun Quan: "The team of soldiers and horses in the rear is chasing after each other, and it must be coming for the lord, and the last general will wear your helmet to lure away the pursuers." ”
"This"
Sun Quan suddenly remembered Zu Mao, and when he was about to stop the other party, Zhou Tai had already picked up his knife and slapped his horse away.
"Alas"
As soon as Sun Quan sighed, he heard the neighing of the war horse next to him, and it was Zhou Tailer, who was wearing a golden helmet, reining in the horse.
"Lord, General Xu is in the direction of Shaobi, you just need to go south at the moment, take care."
After Zhou Tai told Sun Quan, he didn't turn back to the east.
Sun Quan saw Zhou Tai's golden helmet go away, and he felt a trace of shame in his heart, just now he thought that Zhou Tai was cowardly and repented, but he was still showing himself the way when he came.
almost misunderstood the loyal man, Sun Quan silently thought in his heart when he fled south for his life: Zhou Youping, you have to survive, don't repeat the mistakes of Zu Mao.
After Zhou Tai exchanged helmets, he really lured Xiahoudun's pursuers away, but ran out of two miles and encountered tigers and leopards, and was defeated in a short time by more than ten horsemen in the heart.
Zhou Tai estimated that Sun Quan had gone away, and was about to find the right position to start breaking through, when he heard Xiahoudun's taunt: "Sun Quan Xiaoer, did you ever think of today?" Don't even do it, I'm going to capture him with my own hands. ”
