Chapter 224: Cut off the enemy's food route

Huang Zu didn't know that the bright silver spear used by Zhou Yu was not an ordinary product. All of this guns were refined from the East China Sea black iron, weighing forty kilograms, and were coated with silver powder on the outside. Therefore, the bright silver spear that seemed ordinary is actually extremely hard. Moreover, this gun is three feet longer than an ordinary spear, and the spear tip is even more specially made, with three more blades than an ordinary spear tip, which looks sharper. Once it pierces into the body, it will cause greater damage to the enemy.

This gun was built by several experts from the iron smelting family in the Lujiang workshop, and the East China Sea Black Iron was purchased by Kan Ze for a lot of money. Zhou Yu liked this gun very much and named it "Lightning".

When the "Lightning" collided with "Chiying", neither of the two weapons were damaged with one knife and one shot, but Huang Zu was stimulated by the internal force behind Zhou Yu, his hands were sore and soft, and the "Chiying" almost flew away.

Huang Zu is also a master of formation battles and has a lot of experience against the enemy. Seeing that the situation was wrong, he predicted that Zhou Yu's next move would probably be a straight stab, so he suddenly squeezed the horse's belly with both legs. The horse under his crotch hurts, and he jumped forward quickly, barely avoiding Zhou Yu's straight stab.

Although Huang Zu was not injured, the situation on the battlefield was judged. Even if Huang Zu turned around and fought again, it was hard to say whether he could go through five more rounds. Huang Zu knew this very well. He took advantage of the moment when the horse was rushing out from his crotch and slapped the horse with his hand. The horse galloped away from Zhou Yu's attack range. Then Huang Zu pulled the reins narrowly and circled around the field before returning to the formation.

The more than a thousand soldiers Zhou Yu brought to see Huang Zu’s embarrassing look, and all laughed mockingly. The meaning of the laughter was very clear. Huang Zu, please see your cowardly look at your own!

At this moment, Huang Zu was not blushed and his ears were not red. He had been practicing in the battlefield and in the officialdom for many years and knew very well that face was nothing, and saving his own life was the most important thing.

Huang Zu stopped several subordinates who were eager to try and were preparing to siege Zhou Yu. He ordered with a calm face: "The enemy's soldiers are young, launch all their strength to attack me!"

A sound of war drums sounded, and the five thousand soldiers led by Huang Zu shouted and rushed over. Although their chief general was defeated and his morale was somewhat affected, the enemy only had only a few troops. With five enemies and one, could he not be able to defeat?

Looking at the soldiers who were as numerous as ants and insects rushed out like a tide, Huang Zu couldn't help but sneer appeared on his face, Zhou Yu! No matter how high or strong your martial arts are, can you stand against the siege of so many people? Today, this is your burial place!

A strange thing happened. Just when the Huang Zu army was just beating the war drum, Zhou Yu's army suddenly collapsed without fighting. The soldiers turned around and ran to the places without any chance, as if there were many tigers with white eyes raising their heads behind them. Zhou Yu turned his horse's head, held the "lightning" gun on his side, and was responsible for the rear of the palace.

When the enemy army collapsed, Huang Zu's soldiers were happy. Such pursuit was the most enjoyable. They all accelerated their speed and rushed forward with shouts, as if the one who had just won the one-on-one challenge was their chief general.

"Grandma's! The enemy is too vulnerable!" A general next to Huang Zu shouted excitedly. He was about to rush out with the reins of the horse, but Huang Zu reached out to stop him.

Huang Zu's eyes were constantly spinning around, obviously thinking violently. After a moment, Huang Zu's eyes stopped turning, and a sarcastic smile climbed onto his cheek. Huang Zu sneered: "Tell me the order, and I will stop the army!"

"Mingjin withdrew his troops? Why is this? We will win by taking advantage of the situation to chase the enemy!" The general was about to ask back, and Huang Zu answered him directly in words, "Zhou Yu is full of tricks. You haven't seen his cavalry? This time it must be his trick to lure the enemy!"

"Oh~~" The general then realized that he looked forward carefully. He saw Zhou Yu's infantry, and his cavalry might have set up an ambush in front of him. He suddenly realized, slapped his head with his hand, and replied quickly: "Master Prefect is wise!"

Huang Zu's soldiers were chasing him happily. As they were getting closer and closer to the Zhou army's soldiers, the panicked footsteps of the Zhou army soldiers proved their fear of death. Xueliang's machete began to lift...

At this moment, a compact sound of gongs came from Huang Zu's army.

"What are you doing~ Why don't we chase us?" Huang Zu's soldiers were full of resentment and complained. However, Huang Zu's army was also quite strict, with military orders as if they were against the orders. They had to stop in disappointment, watching the soldiers of the Zhou army gradually ran away.

When Zhou Yu saw Huang Zu suddenly shouting and withdrawing his troops, he gathered his soldiers and ordered them to stand in the distance and shouted loudly. These soldiers were all from Jingzhou, and they used Jingzhou dialect, which was extremely unpleasant. Some Huang Zu's soldiers couldn't bear it and raised their swords to chase him, but just after they chased after a few more steps, the soldiers of the Zhou army spread their feet and started running.

Huang Zu said coldly: "If you tease like this, there will be an ambush. This must be a trap set by Zhou Yu. If you pass the order on, all the soldiers will return to the camp immediately."

When he returned to the central army's tent, Huang Zu placed the "Red Shadow" sword in the weapon stand and sat down to rest. He was still scared when he remembered the one-on-one fight with Zhou Yu just now. He could not have imagined that Zhou Yu's force was so high. If he hadn't been alert, he would have been on the battlefield at this moment.

"Zhou Yu is young, so before their large number of reinforcements arrive, it is time to continue attacking Qianxian County!" Huang Zu thought this way, just as he was about to call on his personal soldiers, suddenly a captain stumbled into the tent. As he entered, a smell of blood filled the tent.

Huang Zu looked closely and saw that the captain was covered in blood. It must have been a fierce battle. Huang Zu hurriedly asked, "Which battalion are you from? Why are you here?"

The captain gasped loudly, paused after hearing this, and then said, "I am the captain of the baggage camp. Today... I was ordered to lead troops to transport food and grass from Xiakou. Who knew... Who knew that he was robbed halfway!"

The food and grass were robbed? Huang Zu's face suddenly became ugly. With Jiangxia's people and the people brought by Huang Zhong, there were nearly 80,000 people and 3,000 war horses. The food and consumption of people eating and chewing horses every day is very large. Therefore, every three days, Huang Zu sent people from the baggage camp to transport food and grass and siege equipment from Xiakou.

If the grain channels of one's own army cannot be protected and the enemy's sneak attacks are frequently succeeded, the food and grass in the camp will only be enough for three days. This also means that if the city gate of Qianxian cannot be opened within three days, there will be only one way to withdraw the troops.
