Chapter 103 Zhou Yu's Potential

Huo County, on the city tower.

Zhou Yu leaned on the city wall and waited quietly.

He was stationed in the county seat and had prepared sufficient defensive supplies. All the rolling stones, kerosene, etc. were ready, and all the archers were in place. Even if Yuan Shu mobilized a large number of soldiers to attack, Zhou Yu was completely sure to defend it.

Zhou Yu has been waiting on the city tower, and the night is getting darker. His eyes are looking in the direction of the Changshan Granary. Although they are more than ten miles away, if you climb up and look far away, once the granary ignites a huge fire, Zhou Yu can still see

arrive.

Zhou Yu waited for a long time, but still didn't see the news, so he just leaned on the city wall and closed his eyes to rest.

There is bound to be another war tonight.

He must keep his spirits up.

"Sima Zhou, there's a fire in the distance."

Suddenly, the soldiers around Zhou Yu reminded him.

Zhou Yu shuddered and woke up with a start. His eyes widened and he looked into the distance. In the direction of the distant Changshan Granary, flames were already blazing into the sky. Even from a distance, he could feel the burning fire.

.

This is the benefit of a huge fire.

The burning fire replaced the smoke and directly conveyed the message to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was in high spirits and ordered: "Send the order and prepare the whole army for war. Get ready to fight."

The order was issued, and the soldiers responsible for guarding all cheered up and prepared to fight. While Zhou Yu was waiting, suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves outside the city. One person and one horse galloped over, and came to the foot of the city tower, saying loudly: "I

Coming from Yuan Jun's camp, there is important news to report."

"Bring the people up."

Zhou Yu gave an order.

The soldier put down the hanging basket and quickly brought up the person who came to report the news.

The person who came was still Xu Shao's personal entourage.

When the personal attendant saw Zhou Yu, he quickly handed over the letter and said, "This is from the head of the family. Please read it."

Zhou Yu took the letter and browsed it.

When Zhou Yu finished reading, he couldn't help but laugh, and his laughter was very hearty.

The news Xu Shao explained in his letter was that he was appointed by Yuan Shu as the person in charge of attacking the county, and that he led 5,000 soldiers. In addition, Xu Shao also said that Yuan Shu arranged for Qiao Rui to lead 10,000 soldiers.

Five thousand people went to stop the people of Changshan Granary.

At the end of the letter, Xu Shao proposed a strategy for this time and asked Zhou Yu to arrange it quickly. Xu Shao would fully cooperate and let Zhou Yu defeat the army led by Xu Shao in one go.

Zhou Yu secretly thought that Lu Xuan was very clever in accepting Xu Shao. In this battle with Yuan Shu, Xu Shao's internal support was of great help.

Without Xu Shao, many things would be difficult to handle.

Without Xu Shao, things would not have gone smoothly.

Zhou Yu looked at his entourage and ordered: "You stay here for now and go back after this battle."

"As you command!"

Xu Shao responded personally.

Zhou Yu quickly made arrangements and adjusted the plan according to Xu Shao's strategy. After everything was arranged, Zhou Yu did not stay at the top of the city, but came to the city gate to wait. Not long after, the rumble of war drums came from outside the city.

.

Five thousand Yuan troops led by Xu Shao arrived.

"attack!"

Xu Shao did not say any more and directly ordered the attack. A large number of Yuan's troops rushed out, fought outside the city, and climbed up the tower with the help of ladders and other equipment.

There were a few soldiers on the city tower responsible for defense, so Zhou Yu didn't need to worry.

Zhou Yu sat astride a horse, wearing armor and holding a sharp sword. He pointed outside the city and ordered: "Open the city gate!"

Crunch!

The city gate was opened and Yuan Jun was seen attacking outside the city.

"Fight out and defeat Yuan Jun."

Zhou Yu ordered the attack.

This method is the most risky one. Once defeated, Yuan's army outside the city can enter the city. However, this time the fight has Xu Shao's cooperation, so Zhou Yu is not worried.

He rushed out with more than 3,000 soldiers and attacked the 5,000 soldiers outside the city with great momentum.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were fighting in close combat. They fought for a while, and suddenly, from the left wing of Yuan Jun outside the city, a rapid and passionate horn sounded, torches burned, and countless shouts came out, as if there were countless people.

The soldiers came out and attacked Yuan Jun's left flank.

The same goes for Yuan Jun's right wing. Trumpets sounded one after another, drums beat loudly, shouts of killing continued, and smoke and dust rose everywhere, as if countless soldiers were fighting out.

All the people came to the battlefield.

Zhou Yu even roared loudly and ordered: "Yuan Jun has fallen into the trap, kill him!"

"Yuan Jun has fallen into a trap, kill him!"

Groups of soldiers shouted, and after countless people shouted, the voices became more and more uniform.

Although Yuan's army had a large number of people and was still fighting hard, many soldiers heard that they had been tricked, and their hearts beat, and they began to want to retreat, losing their previous fighting spirit.

Xu Shao saw this scene in his eyes, and a smile flashed across his lips.

This is his plan.

Xu Shao asked Zhou Yu to arrange people on the left and right wings to create the illusion of an ambush. At this point, he would immediately order the withdrawal of troops. In a battle on the battlefield, once you retreat first, it almost means defeat.

An army that can fight and retreat at the same time, and retreat unscathed, is the best among the best.

Xu Shao's people cannot meet this standard.

Xu Shao put on a panicked look and said loudly: "We have been ambushed, withdraw our troops, withdraw all our troops."

Dang! Dang! Dang!!

The sound of gongs resounded on the battlefield.

The order to withdraw was passed down, and Yuan Jun's soldiers fought for a while before completely collapsing. Because as soon as Yuan Jun retreated, Zhou Yu's men continued to cover up and kill, forming an overwhelming offensive.

Xu Shao didn't care about Yuan Jun's life or death at all.

This is his position.

He is Lu Xuan's man.

Xu Shao turned his horse around and quickly evacuated the county town. The soldiers under his command also continued to retreat and fled in panic.

There was chaos on the battlefield.

Zhou Yu ordered a fierce attack, killing Yuan Jun's soldiers continuously, covering up the killings all the way towards Yuan Shu's camp.

This time Yuan Shu mobilized 15,000 men in order to rescue the granary, and Xu Shao brought another 5,000 men. Although Yuan Shu's army still had some strength, under the premise that the army was defeated, Yuan Shu's army lacked combat effectiveness. Zhou Yu

Have the confidence to push through.

With both sides chasing and escaping, Xu Shao quickly took the lead and approached Yuan Jun's camp.

Xu Shao looked anxious and said loudly: "Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way. I am Xu Shao and I want to see the lord."

He entered the camp in a very embarrassed state.

This scene fell in the eyes of the soldiers in the camp, and many of them were panic-stricken. The failure of this raid was very detrimental to Yuan Jun.

Xu Shao did this on purpose to stir up people's hearts.

Xu Shao quickly came to the Chinese army's tent and saw Yuan Shu. With a plop, he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "My lord, I deigned to go to Huo County to attack Huo County, but I was ambushed. Lu Xuan arranged a lot of things outside the city."

Soldiers. My five thousand elite troops were completely defeated and collapsed in an instant. I have betrayed the great trust of my lord in my humble position. Please forgive me."

boom!!

Yuan Shu's brain seemed to explode.

He had high hopes for the fight tonight. The granary was destroyed and there was no food. He had to win tonight to stabilize the situation. He also had to capture Huo County to have food supplies.

Now, Xu Shao was defeated first, which meant that his plan to seize grain and grass from Huo County was broken.

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses.

He stared at Xu Shao with angry eyes and said loudly: "Xu Shao, you are simply useless. The defeat of your army has made it impossible for me to completely wipe out Lu Xuan. We have no food and grass to support us, and we cannot stand on it."

.”

Xu Shao looked horrified and said quickly: "This is a humble position and incompetence. Please forgive me, my lord."

Yuan Shu looked at Xu Shao who was begging for mercy one after another, and snorted coldly. He did not say how to deal with it, but said coldly: "Fortunately, Qiao Rui brought fifteen thousand elites to stop Lu Xuan's troops in Changshan Granary. As long as Qiao Rui is

After defeating Lu Xuan, I can barely gain a foothold."

"Report!"

At this moment, another soldier entered.

The soldier looked anxious and reported: "General, Qiao Rui wants to see you."
