Chapter 220 Wu people's anger

Black lightning roared out, and the long knife dragged diagonally made a sharp hunting sound that tore through the air.

Han Zong, who was approaching, saw Yan Liang charging towards him single-handedly, and his eyes immediately flashed with joy.

"This guy actually underestimated the enemy so much that he dared to commit suicide alone. Just let me take his head."

The surprised Han Zong was even more confident. He shouted violently and struck Yan Liang head-on with a long knife with rolling force.

Two horses intersect only in an instant.

The cold light surged, but I saw Yan Liang's ape arm move. Before I could see clearly how he made the move, the long sword dragged behind the horse was already tilted in the air.

Warm blood was dripping from the blade.

The knife held high by Han Zong was still in the air, and he had no time to drop it. His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen the most terrifying and incredible thing in the world.

Then, the upper half of his body slipped from the horse and fell onto the muddy field.

Kill the enemy with one move.

"I dared to ride alone and charge into battle. I thought my martial arts skills were amazing, but it turned out that I was just a bastard."

Yan Liang sheathed the sword with a bit of disdain on his face.

The majestic body like an iron tower stood in front of the rebel army, with blood flowing endlessly from the blade. All the soldiers who looked at it were frightened by Yan Liang's power and did not dare to look at each other.

Seeing that the general was killed with one move, the fragile will of the remaining Wu troops collapsed immediately, and they all fell to the ground and asked to surrender.

A massacre-style siege ended here.

Looking around, the entire Hanjin Wu camp has been turned into a sea of ​​fire. In the scorching fire, there are still many figures howling and rolling, and are eventually swallowed up by the fire.

Looking from the south, the flaming giant raft was still drifting down the river. Although the intensity of the fire had weakened, its power could not be underestimated.

This battle was almost effortless. With only Xu Shu's clever tactics, Hanjin Village was captured.

Although this battle did not cause much damage to the Wu people, it was a heavy blow to the morale of the Wu army. After this battle, the road to Xiakou was opened.

On the day the battle ended, Yan Liang commanded the army and marched by land and water.{}{ .{ }{..} followed Han Dang's defeated army and advanced all the way to Xiakou.

Xiakou City. Wu Jun Shuiying Dazhai.

In the Chinese army tent, Zhou Yu was staring at the snowflakes of information in his hand, with a complicated look on his eyebrows.

The look on his face was filled with surprise and a bit of hidden hatred.

"Yan Liang, a common man, how on earth did he first defeat Yuan Tan and then Liu Qi within a few days? How on earth did he do it..."

In Zhou Yu's mind, this question kept appearing and disappearing over and over again.

The curtain was lifted. A man stepped into the tent. Zhou Yu looked up. The person who entered was none other than his good friend Lu Su.

"Zijing, you came at the right time. Xiakou City has been unable to be attacked. I just wanted to discuss with you to see if there are any strategies to break the city."

The suspicion on Zhou Yu's face disappeared, and he smiled and waved to Lu Su.

Lu Su came closer and sat down, cupped his hands and said, "Gong Jin, I also have some thoughts about the Xiakou matter. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

"Between you and me, there is no need to be so scrupulous. If you have any suggestions, it doesn't matter." Zhou Yu waved his hand and smiled, very generous.

Lu Su paused for a moment and then said: "The attack on Xiakou City has been lingering for a long time. Our army's strength has been exhausted. Now that Yan Liang's threats from both sides have been eliminated, we have sent troops to the south to provide reinforcements. In my opinion, it is time for us to withdraw our troops and return to Wu."

It's time."

The smile on Zhou Yu's face disappeared in an instant, and a dark look quietly passed over his handsome face.

"It doesn't matter if Yan Liang's troops come. After all, his navy is his weak point. With Old General Han guarding Hanjin, even if he has thousands of troops, he can't even hope to save Xiakou."

Zhou Yu's tone was proud and full of confidence.

But Lu Su added: "That Yan Liang is very courageous and has many resourceful people under his command. Although General Han is our veteran general in Jiangdong, he may not be able to keep Hanjin intact."

Zhou Yu frowned, "Why, from Zijing's tone, it seems that he has no confidence in our Jiangdong Navy?"

Lu Su shook his head, "Of course not. In fact, what I meant is that the situation has changed now. Yan Liang has conquered half of Jingzhou. This person's ability and magnanimity are far superior to that of Liu Biao. If we in Soochow are blindly fighting against

If he is our enemy, I am afraid that we will be trapped in the quagmire of Jingzhou and will no longer be able to escape and take care of him."

A strange color flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, as if he heard the hidden meaning in Lu Su's words.

"Zijing, you and I have even become friends. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it clearly." Zhou Yu asked straightforwardly.

Lu Su coughed a few times and then said: "With the current situation, instead of fighting fiercely under the fortified city, why not withdraw the army and return eastward, concentrate on first completely quelling the dangers of Shanyue, and then capture Shouchun and occupy Yangzhou. Then,

When Yan Liang and Liu Qi fight to the death, we can advance westward with an overwhelming army and attack Jingzhou in one go. Su believes that this is the best strategy."

After hearing what Lu Su said, Zhou Yu fell into silence.

Just as his thoughts were spinning, the pro-army troops outside hurriedly came to report that Han Dang had led Hanjin's army to withdraw.

When Zhou Yu and Lu Su heard this, their expressions changed.

Han Dang was ordered to guard Hanjin without the general's orders. How could he dare to withdraw his troops and return?

A hint of gloom flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, and he had a vague premonition in his heart.

Without thinking too much, Zhou Yu immediately stood up and left the tent, heading straight to the trestle, followed closely by Lu Su.

When they galloped to the trestle, they saw warships docking one after another. The Jiangdong athletes who got off the ships all looked gloomy, as if they had suffered a great defeat.

Could it be said that Han Dang was defeated by Yan Liang?

Zhou Yu glanced around and saw that there were no signs of fierce fighting on any of the ships. The soldiers did not seem to have suffered much losses, and it did not seem like they had experienced a big battle.

All kinds of situations made Zhou Yu suddenly suspicious.

Just as he was doubting himself, the flagship docked. When Han saw the ship, he stepped forward with a heavy and sad look on his face.

"Han Dang was incompetent and caused the fall of Hanjin. Please punish him by the governor." Han Dang fell to the ground and apologized, his expression was quite ashamed.

Hanjin fell!

Zhou Yu was shocked. Although he had a premonition about this, he couldn't help being surprised when Han Dang said it himself.

The look of surprise on his face disappeared in a flash, and Zhou Yu immediately regained his composure. He hurriedly helped Han Dang up and said calmly: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Why should the old general blame himself? It's just that I'm a little strange. The old general's soldiers, horses and warships

It seems that there was not much damage, how could Hanjin Village be lost?"

Han Dang sighed repeatedly and was embarrassed to speak.

Lu Meng, who was standing next to him, came forward and told how Yan Liang used fire rafts to spread the river, forcing them to abandon the stronghold and retreat.

At this time, Zhou Yu suddenly realized and glanced at Lu Su subconsciously.

Just now, his "subordinate and good friend" had awakened to him Yan Liang's resourcefulness. He had not thought of it before, but in the blink of an eye, Lu Su had unfortunately spoken out.

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with a little embarrassment.

At this time, Han Dang raised his hand again and said angrily: "The last general's son, Han Zong, was killed by Yan Liang before he could withdraw his troops. Han and Yan Liang had a sworn hatred, so he begged the governor to send more troops to the last general."

We will definitely fight to the death with that Yan Liang dog thief."

Hearing that Han Zong was beheaded, Zhou Yu's expression changed again. At that moment, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

Han Dang is a veteran general in the army and has always been prestigious. When the generals heard the sad news that his son was killed by Yan Liang, they were all extremely angry.

For a time, all the generals shouted angrily, vowing to fight to the death with Yan Liang to avenge Han Dang and bring shame to the dignity of the Wu army.

All the generals generously wanted to fight, and Zhou Yu also said angrily: "Yan Liang, a common man, doesn't take Jiangdong seriously, so I swear to compete with him."

"Kill Yanliang! Promote the power of our army!"

"Kill the thief Yan Liang and avenge General Han!"

Zhou Yu also decided to fight, and the generals became even more angry. The cry of bloody battle suddenly echoed throughout the military camp.

Lu Su wanted to persuade him, but when he saw that the crowd was indignant, he had no choice but to swallow his words. He sighed in his heart: "Yan Liang is not an easy person to deal with. I want to defeat him just with anger."

, I’m afraid it’s, alas…”

Two days later, Yan Liang's land and water army arrived at Xiakou. At the same time, Chou's feign attack army also arrived. Together with Man Chong's troops in Xiakou City, Yan's army gathered in Xiakou City, with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Although the Wu people were determined to fight, they were not carried away by anger. Before Yan Liang's army arrived, Zhou Yu decisively gave up the siege of Xiakou City and retreated to the Yangtze River in order to avoid being attacked by both internal and external forces.

On the south bank, there was a confrontation across the river with Yan Liangjun.

At the top of Xiakou City, when Yan Liang saw Man Chong, he felt like he was in another world.

The beloved general of Wu Shuangquan in front of him had lost a lot of weight, and his face was full of vicissitudes of life and fatigue. It was obvious that this two-month battle had made him extremely exhausted physically and mentally.

Looking at the wounded soldiers on the left and right, they all expressed fatigue, but their deep-set eyes were shining with excitement.

Their General Yan You did not abandon them. They finally survived the day when the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed. How could these soldiers who had fought so hard not to feel overwhelmed with emotion?

"Lord~~" Man Chong, who came forward with his hands in hand, was so excited that he choked up and couldn't speak.

"Bo Ning, there is no need to say anything. I, Yan Liang, have already taken all the credit for you and all the soldiers in my heart." Yan Liang patted Man Chong on the shoulder and said with emotion.

A happy smile appeared on Man Chong's haggard face, and the two ministers looked at each other and laughed.

After his mood gradually calmed down, Man Chong asked: "Now that the Wu people are afraid of my lord, they have withdrawn to the other side and are confronting our army across the river. I wonder how my lord plans to use his troops next?"

Yan Liang turned around and approached the female wall, looking towards the other side of the river.

Through the vast river fog, he could still see thousands of Wu army ships, arranged in rows on the water camp line, and their momentum was still huge.

"Although the Wu people have retreated to the south bank, their strength has not been seriously damaged. They should not be underestimated. If we want to drive them out of Jiangxia, we will have to go through a fierce battle."

Yan Liang murmured with emotion.

At this time, Man Chong held up his hands and said: "My lord, the general has a plan, which can prevent my lord from using any soldiers and ask the Wu people to retreat without fighting."
