Chapter 163: Strategies for Danyang (Nine)

Chen Heng led his soldiers and rushed out of the village gate with fire and smoke. At this time, he had been hit by two arrows. Although it was not fatal, the pain from the wound still made him feel uncomfortable.

Outside the gate of the village, Chen Heng saw teams of light cavalrymen, who were shooting arrows around the camp and hunting his soldiers. Looking back, the fire in the camp was raging, and only about a hundred people rushed out with him.

When the light cavalry saw Chen Heng rushing out, they didn't bother to each other. They just set off a few rounds of bows and arrows from afar. Chen Heng didn't care about that much. He just wanted to return to Niuzhu Fortress as soon as possible, while waving his weapons and galloping. After rushing out hundreds of steps, Chen Heng miserably discovered that there were only a few personal soldiers behind him who were just following him, and the rest were either killed or surrendered.

Chen Heng couldn't help but sigh to the sky. The whole 6,000 people he brought out, and now only a few people remain! The hateful Zhou Yu actually expected that he would go to attack the camp and dug a trap to wait for him to jump in.

"Zhou Yu~~I am incompatible with you!" Chen Heng let out a few screams, and never dared to stay anymore, so he hurriedly led several cavalry to flee.

When Chen Heng returned to the gate of Niuzhu Fortress in a panic, it was just dawn and the whole fortress was quiet, as if nothing had happened.

"Open the door quickly~~"

"General Chen Heng is back~~"

Several personal soldiers beside Chen Heng were shouting at the door in a verbal manner. Suli relied on his relationship with Chen Heng to act as a mighty person in Niuzhu Fortress. How could he have thought that there would be such a bad thing today? Fortunately, he was fine, so he could not keep it safely. The subsequent battle had nothing to do with him.

To their surprise, the dark village gate was still closed, and there was no sign of opening it. There was no sound in the village gate, and there was a silence.

Chen Heng couldn't help it. He rushed for a night and ran for so long, but was already exhausted. He just wanted to return to the fortress early, drink some hot water, and eat hot breakfast. Chen Heng shouted loudly: "You are blind~ Why don't you open the door?"

There was still silence inside the village gate.

Chen Heng was so angry that he immediately cursed, such as grandparents, and all the aunts and aunts were scolded, which made the soldiers beside him unable to bear to listen anymore. After scolding for a while, Chen Heng suddenly felt something was wrong. In any case, even if the guards in the fortress were sleeping tightly, they should have been awakened by his scolding. Why didn't they hear any movement? Is the fortress already falling?... Chen Heng dared not think about it anymore, and a deep sense of fear enveloped his whole body. Zhou Yu's use of troops was really vicious. He took the nest by him as soon as he advanced.

A personal soldier next to Chen Heng suddenly shouted loudly: "General, the enemy's pursuers are not far away!" Chen Heng hurriedly turned around and saw smoke and dust rolling up in the direction of Zhou Yu's camp. It was obvious that the enemy's cavalry were coming here.

Chen Heng shouted anxiously: "Let's retreat quickly!" At this moment, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the village gate, and came straight towards Chen Heng several people. "Puff puff puff", several of Chen Heng's personal soldiers were shot overturned, and Chen Heng was also shot with an arrow on his left arm, which was heart-wrenching.

Chen Heng suddenly realized that Niuzhu Fortress had been captured by Zhou Yu's troops. He thought that he must have secretly made a comeback when he led his troops to attack Zhou Yu's camp at night. Since the old nest was lost, he had to escape to Moling quickly. Chen Heng raised the whip in his right hand and thrust hard on the butt of the horse under his crotch. The horse galloped, and Chen Heng's figure immediately rushed out like an arrow. He didn't care that there were still several personal soldiers behind him, and ran away along the path in Niuzhu Mountain.

When Chen Heng abandoned his horse and crossed the mountains of Niuzhu Mountain, he miserably realized that he was already alone at this moment.

Niuzhu Fortress.

The war is over.

Zhou Tai led the Feilong Army to successfully counterattack. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Chen Heng led his troops to attack the Jijun camp at night, and the defense in Niuzhu Fortress was empty, the elite soldiers of the Feilong Army used flying claws, ropes, etc. to climb over the fortress's walls from a secluded place, and then rushed into the crowd. There were not many defenders in the fortress, and they were waiting for the news of Chen Heng's successful attack on the camp. How could Zhou Yu send troops to counterattack? Zhou Tai led the Feilong Army to capture Niuzhu Fortress in one fell swoop, and then opened the gate of the water camp to welcome the navy army of Ganning's troops.

It was already clear. Except for Zang Ba, leading hundreds of people to stay to clean the battlefield, Zhou Yu led the rest of the troops into Niuzhu Fortress in a mighty manner. Zhou Tai greeted Zhou Yu at the gate and saw Zhou Yu coming, he went forward and saluted, "Greetings to the lord! The Flying Dragon Army did not disappoint the expectations, and successfully captured Niuzhu Fortress!"

"Haha," Zhou Yu turned over and dismounted, and also gave a gift to Zhou Tai, smiling, "Youping is brave and resourceful, and his troops are truly the elite of our army. It is a joyful congratulations to successfully capture Niuzhu."

"Report to the lord," Zhou Taimei said with a smile, "This time our army has gained a lot. Liu Yao and Wu Jing have stockpiled a lot of good things here! I took a rough look and found that there were about 30,000 rice, 100,000 feathered arrows, swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and countless feeds for military and horses. Haha, we are rich."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he knew that Niuzhu was Liu Yao's large warehouse in history and that most of Liu Yao's military capital was hoarded here, he could not have imagined that Liu Yao was so rich and had placed so much military capital here, so he was cheaper now!

Zhou Yu also laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Liu Yao's family is really rich, and he was willing to stock up on so much military capital in Niuzhu. I think he thought the terrain here is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there were 10,000 soldiers defending it. It was foolproof. However, he never expected that Chen Heng was rashly advancing and wanted to rob our camp at night, but we were tricked by him. Not only did he defeat Chen Heng, who was about to rob the camp, but he also took advantage of the situation to counterattack Niuzhu and seized the fortress on the Yangtze River into our hands. With so much military capital, our army's military operation to attack Danyang has a reliable logistical support, and there is no need to rely on military capital transported from Lujiang, and there is no need to worry about the enemy attacking our army's food route."

Pan Hu stood beside Zhou Yu and interrupted after hearing this, "Lord, General Zhou, I guess Liu Yao will feel so distressed that he can't eat for three days after receiving this news."
