Chapter 178 Head-to-head! (For the total 22/30)

Huo Jun thought that sneak attacking Wancheng would be a life-and-death event, but when he arrived in Wancheng, he was shocked to find that he was thinking too much.

Due to heavy rains for several days, the moat was full, and a large amount of accumulated water in the city was not discharged smoothly, resulting in severe flooding.

If Yu Jin was in the city, the gate would be closed, and everyone would wait until the rain stopped.

But Yu Jin led the army with a fatal weakness - although he was clear in rewards and punishments, he was too strict and the soldiers complained a lot. When he was away, everyone took the opportunity to let themselves go, just like a stern class teacher letting out students after leaving.

As the northern gate of Jingzhou, Wancheng's commerce is very developed, and the river transportation with clean water as the core is also very smooth. After Yu Jin severely attacked Huo Jun, the wealthy families in the city could not wait to start participating in various businesses. Seeing that the city was seriously flooded, they rushed around and demanded that the moat be dredged to reduce flooding, and at the same time, the buildings that had been destroyed by heavy rain were repaired.

They would definitely not do such a difficult thing in person. They followed Yu Jin to attack and captured many rioters from the thief, which drove them to work.

So, Huo Jun saw a picture that made people angry.

In the heavy rain, a group of ragged people were driven by whips and sticks, carrying the shoulders and carrying the mud and repairing the city walls. Most of the soldiers and children of the wealthy clan looked leisurely and did not affect their mood at all because of the heavy rain.

There was no need to say much or boost morale. All the soldiers below Huo Jun tightly held the weapons in their hands. As Huo Jun roared throughout his life, Zhou Tai fought for the first time and led the army to rush into Nanyang City.

Seeing the enemy attack, most of the Cao army soldiers had not yet reacted. However, the Nanyang rich people, who had been scared by the reputation of the red and black account, responded quickly. Seeing that there was no hope of closing the city gate, they hurriedly ran away with their heads in their arms.

Huo Jun entered the city with one step, closed the city gate immediately, and sent his soldiers to release all the people who had been captured by Yu Jin before.

These people never expected that they would have a chance to escape. Most of them were not Huo Jun's iron-kicks before, and many people even refused to help Huo Jun. However, after the cruel abuse of Yu Jin and others, they really hated these Nanyang tyrants who helped the evil and were determined to join Huo Jun's team and take revenge on the enemies who abused them.

Angry swords can inject extremely terrifying power into a tired body.

Amid the roar, his soldiers rushed into the city like a tide and attacked Cao's army several times their own. The Cao's army, which lacked command, fled hastily and was soon killed and blood flowed into a river.

After two hours of fierce battle, Huo Jun's soldiers controlled the entire city of Wancheng after paying only the price of more than ten people killed in battle. Most of Yu Jin's soldiers were scattered. They were worried that they would be dealt with by Yu Jin's military law, but none of them reported the news. They made Yu Jin know that Wancheng had changed hands when they arrived at the city.

Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, and was angry and anxious, and immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare to attack the city.

But Huo Jun was not afraid of fear. He stood at the top of the city in the heavy rain, pointed at Yu Jin and said sternly: "There is no need for the general to attack the city - this city is not defended, and the general will come in if he has the ability. Huo Jun will see the real sign with your subordinates!"

As he said that, Huo Jun waved his hand and the soldiers on the top of the city retreated in unison, giving up the position of the siege to Yu Jin.

If Guan Ping had definitely seen some mystery here - Huo Jun fought to occupy Wancheng, but their troops were too few, and the people following them were only more than 2,000, so it was too difficult to defend this city from all sides.

Moreover, the wealthy families in the city have not yet surrendered, so they are still careful to hide and prepare to resist. Huo Jun lacks the equipment to defend the city, and the second lacks the soldiers to defend the city, so he can only make this decision. The more guilty he is, the more he invites Yu Jin to attack the city.

Yu Jin looked up in the rain and watched for a long time, but his heart became even hesitant.

Seeing Huo Jun looking fearless, he had already quietly felt a little suspicious in his heart.

He had previously suspected that Chang Diao and Huo Jun colluded, but now Wancheng is in an instant, which seems to be able to further prove his judgment.

He already knew that Huang Zhong was nearby. With the spiritual leader of the former Nanyang Ranger, the Nanyang soldiers under him would be dispersed with a wave of his arms. Huang Zhong could approach Wancheng quickly without a sound, and Yunshan was probably also suspected. Yu Jin was panicked and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Escape?

No.

I ran away, wouldn't I put the two young masters in danger?

After hesitation, Yu Jin made up his mind.

“Retreat, head south!”

ah?

southward?

The gateway to Jingzhou is Wancheng. If Huo Jun and others occupy Wancheng, they will definitely seriously threaten the heartland of the Central Plains.

But Yu Jin knew that if Cao Pi and Cao Zhi abandoned each other and fled north, Cao Cao would kill him whatever he said, and that he would kill his whole family.

Huo Jun and others rely on the people here in Jingzhou. They had just suffered heavy losses and now they don’t have time to replenish their troops, so they have no chance to advance to the Central Plains again.

Although there are two huge hidden dangers in the south, Yunshan and Cai Mao, Yu Jin believes that Cao Pi and Le Jin are very worthy of relying on.

Especially the Mu Lejin of Jingzhou...

He has 30,000 elite troops in his hands. If Yunshan wants to rebel, he can still control the Han River and cut off Yunshan's return.

Yu Jin believes that he knows this old comrade-in-arms who have been fighting together for many years. Although their relationship is very bad, at this critical moment, the two armies gather together must be much better than fighting alone, and at least they can protect the lives of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

Yu Jin turned around quickly, which was beyond the expectations of Fu Xun and others. They thought that Yu Jin would definitely attack Wancheng in anger, but he did not expect that he would turn around quickly and retreat directly to the south.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Ding Feng said inexplicably, "He Xiangnan just happened to hit Tanzhi's hand. Tanzhi could ask Cao Pi and Cao Zhi to call him in the name of discussing matters. We will have an attack together, and a brigade general..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Fu Xun frowned, "If this were the case, Tanzhi would have taken action long ago. If Tanzhi's identity was exposed like this, it would be more than worth the loss."

Fu Xun is good at scrutinizing people's hearts and pushing people into desperate situations little by little, but military tactics and adaptability are not his strengths. At this critical moment, Fu Xun was confused for a moment and didn't know how to deal with the next step of operation.

Well, I would have known to bring Kuai Yue with me.

Between the loss of gains and losses, Huang Zhong had already sneered.

"What's there to think about this? You strategists have been thinking for a long time, but aren't you asking us to reward the three armies and move forward bravely?

I, Huang Zhong, have no wisdom, but I know that it depends on courage to fight."

He slowly walked forward and said aloud towards a group of soldiers who remained motionless in the heavy rain:

"My boys, I have brought you all a thousand miles away. At the beginning, I really wanted to make a fortune and fame.

But after coming here, I, Huang Zhong, realized that so many Jingzhou people were now in this way.

When Cao Cao came, they did not resist, but instead helped Cao Cao bully our fellow villagers.

I initially fought with barbarians, later with Jiangdong, and now I am fighting with Cao thief.

I really don’t want to fight with my own people, but now I have to pick up a knife to clean up the house and rebellious.

I am sixty-two this year. I don’t want any rewards after this battle. I will give you all. I am willing to move forward side by side with me and teach those rat bandits a lesson. What is the general of Cao’s army, General Huwei? I, Huang Zhong, rushed in the front and insisted on beheading his head!"

·

Yu Jin was majestic and resolute, and even when the entire army retreated in a hurry, he could use his majesty to suppress the stingy army, so that Cao's army, whose soldiers were of extremely poor quality, would not scatter.

They had been showing off their power next to the Qingshui River before, but this time they carefully avoided the Qingshui River and ran south with all their might.

Finally, when they set off, they brought enough military rations, and the soldiers did not disperse immediately, but the sudden rain in the sky seemed to be even more joyful and violent.

They had been outside for a day during the day, and their body temperature was constantly being taken away by the rain. The soldiers were looking for places to hide from the rain everywhere, and they were already trembling.

But the more this happens, the more Yu Jin knows that he can't stay now.

He could feel that the enemy should be staring at him nearby.

You have to go south as soon as possible and meet with the young master as soon as possible.

Plop.

A soldier finally couldn't hold on and fell into the mud in pain.

Yu Jin didn't even look at it, and directly ordered the soldiers to advance, but soon more and more soldiers went to the end. In the splash of water, despair was written on the face of each Cao army soldier.

"We were not defeated! We were just marching south and we were all cheering up! We had gone through the great war and no matter how difficult it was, what are we afraid of at this time?"

Yu Jin called out loudly to encourage the morale of the entire army. The cold brought by the rain made his voice slightly hoarse, but his power was still there, and the soldiers of Cao's army still barely ignited a trace of fighting spirit and marched south desperately.

But while talking, the soldiers in the back team suddenly exclaimed, and Yu Jin was a little surprised. He looked into the distance. Through the raindrops that followed the sky, he clearly saw a soldier coming quickly in the distance.

later?

He was shocked and then understood where the enemy came from.

It's Huo Jun!

Huo Jun actually put the Jiancheng and chased him out of Wancheng!

"Yu Jin, your soldiers who are under your command will kill the people in vain, and they will never forgive you!" Huo Jun's desolate voice was like a sharp blade that scraped bones, and the Cao army behind him changed his face.

"My red and black account has been filled with black dots for you.

How can you let you run away today? Those who have the courage will stay for me!"

Yu Jin was furious.

Without the protection of Wancheng, how could these thousands of people under Huo Jun be his opponent?

Even though I am very tired today, I still have the confidence to completely crush them in an instant!

Yu Jin wiped the water droplets on his face and was about to rush his troops to attack with all his might, but another dull drum beat sounded in his ears.

Not far away, piles of infantrymen were moving forward quickly on the muddy land. They were not affected by the heavy rain at all. The hot fighting spirit seemed to penetrate the layers of rain and splashed on Yu Jin's body.

"General Huang Zhong is here!" Huang Zhong said concisely, "Yu Jin, leave your head!"

Ding Fengye jumped a step forward quickly and said proudly:
Chapter completed!
