Chapter 198 The Battle of Hefei (7)
Chapter 198: Battle in Hefei (7)
It turned out that it was Zhang Xun, who was the best in commanding troops under Yuan Shumi. Zhou Yu thought to himself. However, in history, although Yuan Shu had many soldiers and many generals under him, he lacked first-class generals. He had neither powerful generals who could take the heads of a million troops like taking things, nor did he lack a wise general who was good at using troops to dispatch, planning and winning thousands of miles away.
Zhang Xun and others are indeed not masters. In this era of sudden changes and many heroes, he has long been drowned in the ocean of famous generals. This time, even if Yuan Shu came in person, Zhou Yu would not be afraid of him at all.
Zhang Xun was already stationed at the border between Nanyang County and Jiujiang County, and once a fighter plane appeared, he was ready to attack and fight at any time. This time, Zhou Ang sent someone to borrow troops from Yuan Shu, which was exactly what Yuan Shu wanted. He was thinking of finding an excuse to occupy Jiujiang County. In this way, Yuan Shu could directly attack Yangzhou south and obtain a large area of land in the six counties of Jiangdong.
Yuan Shu agreed to Zhou Ang's request to jointly send troops and divide the six counties in Jiangdong equally. For him, as long as he had a legitimate reason to send troops, he could at least obtain the territory of Jiujiang County.
Yuan Shu immediately sent a fast horse to inform Zhang Xun, asking him to send troops to Hefei immediately. Then, he sent Ji Ling as the general, with the deputy general Chen Lan, and Le as the vanguard, commanding 30,000 troops. He set out from Nanyang, and his target was also Hefei.
After Zhang Xun was ordered, he did not dare to be negligent at all. He immediately set off an army, commanding deputy general Han Hao as his vanguard, and partial general Chen Ji as his 5,000 troops as his rear army. He led 15,000 troops as his central army, and rushed to the city of Hefei in silence.
Zhang Xun was cautious in using troops, and was well-organized in the marching and formation, and never dared to take risks. Therefore, he never made any major mistakes and became one of Yuan Shu's most trusted generals.
Zhang Xun was also unsure of fighting with Zhou Yu this time. Although the name of "Jiangdong Zhou Lang" is getting louder and louder, Zhang Xun still believes that Zhou Yu has reached the point of today with his family support. How many children from aristocratic families can have truly capable people?
When the army arrived at the city of Hefei, Zhang Xun was secretly surprised when he saw Zhou Yu stationing two camps in Niugang and Xiaoyaojin, which echoed Hefei City. He did not expect that Zhou Yu would actually put on such a defensive posture and make him impeccable.
At this moment, when the army first arrived, it was not enough to reduce the spirit of his army. Although Zhang Xun wanted to wait for the subsequent reinforcements to arrive before launching an attack, he saw the generals eager to try, and Zhang Xun also wanted to explore Zhou Yu's reality, so he directly set up a formation at the hem of Hefei City to challenge Zhou Yu.
Zhang Xun's general Han Hao took a horse and walked forward a few steps, shouting loudly to the city: "Ha~~ Listen to me by the people in the city~~ We are the troops of the General Yuan Gaolu, the latter. You'd better open the city gate immediately and surrender, otherwise, after we break the city, you can't survive!"
As soon as Han Hao's call ended, he heard a burst of intense drums coming from the city tower. After a while, the heavy north gate of Hefei City slowly opened, and a group of people came out of the city, and then set up a formation with their backs against the city.
At the front of the team, several generals surrounded a young man and rode out. Zhang Xun saw that the man looked very handsome, wearing a white dress, a Confucian crown on his head, and a tall white horse under his crotch, but he didn't have any weapons in his hand, and he looked handsome and handsome. He secretly exclaimed in his heart: "What a handsome man!"
Han Hao asked, "Who is coming from the other side? Sign up quickly!"
The handsome young man opposite immediately clasped his fists and replied loudly: "I'm going down to Lujiang Zhou Yu."
Zhang Xun also replied immediately with his fist, "I am the sect general of the late General Yuan Gonglu under the tent of the sect, Zhang Xun, Nanyang."
Han Hao laughed and said, "Children Zhou Yu, look at me taking your life today!" After that, Han Hao slapped his horse and danced his sword and headed straight for Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was annoyed by someone, and slapped his horse and rushed towards Han Hao, saying loudly: "Don't be crazy! Xu Sheng of Langya is here!"
"Sure" Han Hao's knife and Xu Sheng's gun collided in the air, making a harsh sound. Han Hao suddenly felt his arms numb and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
The two turned back their horse heads and fought again. Xu Sheng's martial arts skills were not weak, and he received guidance from Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and others under Zhou Yu's tent. His martial arts skills were improved by at least one level. Even if he faced a peerless master like Lu Bu, he could still make ten moves.
After more than ten rounds, Han Hao had only the ability to resist under Xu Sheng's attack and had no power to fight back. He was exhausted and panting. Han Hao knew something was wrong, so he tried to retreat to the formation with a fake knife. Xu Sheng was not willing to let him go. He used a move "Chasing the Clouds and Chasing the Moon" and shot into Han Hao's back like a meteor.
Han Hao heard a gust of wind coming from behind his head, and he hurriedly lowered his head and leaned over to try to avoid the shot. Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng's gun was extremely fast, and he turned the spear head slightly, and a "puff" sound pierced into Han Hao's right shoulder. Xu Sheng then pulled hard. Han Hao screamed in pain, and a bloody rain burst into the air. Xu Sheng's gun broke through Han Hao's armor and also pulled a large piece of meat from Han Hao's right shoulder.
Seeing this, Qin Hu, another general of Zhang Xun, hurriedly rode out, danced the long halberd in his hand, blocked Xu Sheng, and responded to Han Hao and retreated back to the formation.
After five rounds, Xu Sheng became so angry that he shouted loudly. The spear stabbed Qin Hu's face like a dragon coming out of water. Qin Hu hurriedly used a long spear to block it, but it did not block it. The tip of the spear turned into five dazzling golden flowers in front of Qin Hu's eyes, and then it was collected into one point, "Puchi~~", Qin Hu found a cold throat, and then his chest began to collapse. Qin Hu's eyes gradually began to blur, and his body shook twice on the horse, falling under the horse.
Then another general of Zhang Xun fought against Xu Sheng alone. He was stabbed in the arm with no five rounds. When Xu Sheng intersected the two horses, Xu Sheng gently stretched out his ape's arms, picked up the man from his own hands, threw it on the ground in front of his army formation, and immediately several soldiers rushed forward and tied the man firmly with a rope.
Xu Sheng won three consecutive games, killing one person in the formation and capturing one alive. The morale in Zhou Yu's army was greatly boosted, while the morale in Zhang Xun's army fell to the bottom.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhou Yu waved his hand in the direction of Zhang Xun, and the five thousand soldiers in the formation shouted and rushed over.
