Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2287 Li Cunxiao's defeat, Bai Qizi's death

After the news of the loss of Jiaozhou came, the Jianghuai region, which had exhausted its last bit of vitality and had only just begun to see its situation improve after everyone became soldiers, was once again dealt a heavy blow to them.

The arrival of this news made Wang Jian even more confident in launching the attack on Dabie Mountains.

While Bai Qi was reorganizing the troops in northern Jing, he also pretended to be ready to cross the river at any time in order to intimidate Xu Da in southern Jing. Although Wang Jian only had a small army of tens of thousands of troops, the lineup of generals assigned to him by Bai Qi was not inferior at all.

After all, Bai Qi had already found out through scouts that Xu Da suddenly took Yao Zilin and Deng Zilong to guard the Jingnan area, but Yangzhou's number one general Lu Er was sent to the Jianghuai area by Xu Da.

Therefore, Wang Jian was surrounded by many brave generals.

Not only is there the invincible general Li Cunxiao, but also Hou Yi and Fei Peng, two god-level generals, and Bai Jue and Li Tianchang, two peerless and top-level generals, are also on the list.

However, after seeing through Xie Ai's previous clumsy tricks and defeating him, Wang Jian suffered a considerable setback during his formal advance into the Dabie Mountains.

In this battle, Li Cunxiao, who had never been defeated in his life, was defeated for the first time!

Even Bai Qi's own son Bai Jue eventually died on the battlefield.

In addition to Xie Ai's troops in the Dabie Mountains, there was also another force, Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Cavalry.

The mountains and forests themselves are not suitable for cavalry combat. However, Yuan Chonghuan did not let them fight in the mountainous areas. Instead, he took advantage of the geographical environment here and stationed them on a high ground to form a pincer attack with Xie Ai in the Dabie Mountains.

As long as Wang Jian's army advanced to the Dabie Mountains, the Guanning Cavalry would rush out from the heights and attack the rear of the enemy army.

Wang Jian knew the key point, so he concentrated many strong generals in the rear army, including Li Cunxiao, the invincible general. The purpose was nothing else but to improve the resilience of the rear army.

Once the Guanning Iron Cavalry charged out, as long as the rear army could withstand the enemy's charge, his main force in the center army could turn around and launch a counter-encirclement, preventing the enemy from gaining more than they gained.

However, due to some unpredictable factors, Wang Jian eventually underestimated the Guanning Cavalry.

On that day, as expected, the Guanning Iron Cavalry suddenly attacked their rear army after Wang Jian's vanguard troops advanced into the Dabie Mountains.

In addition to Yuan Shen, a fierce general of the Jizhou Army, the Guanning Iron Cavalry also included Lu Er, the most fierce general of the Yangzhou Army.

Although the Yangzhou Army has recently seen the emergence of a rising star, Zhu Quan, he has only been famous for a short time after all, and now his life or death is unknown. He cannot shake Lu Er's position as the most powerful general of the Yangzhou Army.

Yuan Shen and Lu Er are the spearheads of the Guanning Iron Cavalry. As they are at the forefront of the charge, they are still quite conspicuous.

Therefore, Li Cunxiao went to meet them straightforwardly.

Even though he was outnumbered two, Li Cunxiao did not fall into a disadvantage. Not to mention, in the rear army, in addition to Li Cunxiao, there were also two peerless and top-notch generals, Bai Jue and Li Tianchang.

However, Yuan Chonghuan and Xie Ai never acted alone, but the two forces were linked with each other. Only when the two forces formed linkage and cooperation could they play the role of the horns.

When Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry charged out, Xie Ai's troops would also follow suit, leaving no chance for Wang Jian's troops to retreat.

Therefore, if Wang Jian really wanted to use the middle to successfully encircle the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the pressure resistance of his front army would also be a problem. In the front army, Wang Jian arranged Hou Yi and Fei Peng, two primary god-level warriors.

Of course, Xie Ai's lineup was also not bad. In addition to the Central Plains general Sun Luzhen, it also included the Qing Han fierce general Wu Zhiqi.

Wu Zhiqi was originally supposed to be the general of the Qinghan Navy. The Qinghan Navy was transferred to the Jianghuai region, so Wu Zhiqi, as the general, naturally came as well.

However, the Jianghuai region is different from the Yangtze River. Their threat is greater than their actual combat. After all, no one in the Jianghuai region will fight a naval battle with them. Their role is to block the waterways in the Jianghuai region and pretend to enter the Central Plains along the river.

It was also because of this that after Zhu Di discussed with the people from Qinghan, he temporarily transferred the powerful generals represented by Wu Zhiqi and Deng Xia from the Qinghan Navy to the land, so that they could better play their role.

Deng Xia was assigned to the Shouchun battlefield, while Wu Zhiqi was assigned to the Dabie Mountains battlefield where the enemy was surrounded by powerful generals.

Wu Zhiqi and Sun Luzhen are old rivals.

During the reign of Liu Xiu, Wu Zhiqi constantly fought against the Jin army, and his hands were stained with the blood of many Jin generals.

As for Sun Luzhen, he did not have much interaction with the Jin army before.

It was not until the Central Plains War that they finally faced off against the Jin army. Moreover, due to the hatred between the Cao and Sun families, Sun Luzhen chased after the Cao family's generals on the battlefield, so that many young men of the Cao family died in the hands of Sun Luzhen.

Not long ago in the Central Plains, Sun Luzhen, the representative general of the Sun family, and Cao Kerang, the representative general of the Cao family, had fought fiercely many times.

However, this time, Cao Kerang stayed in the Jingbei area with Zhang Liao, and was replaced by the fierce general Fei Peng of the Jin army to face this fierce general from the Central Plains.

After Xie Ai's army rushed out, the two sides started fighting.

Because they had entered the mountainous area, therefore, both soldiers and generals basically fought on foot, and there were almost no people on horseback.

This makes it seem like Li Cunxiao and his men, who are in the rear army, have not yet entered the mountainous area.

Since the two sides started fighting, Houyi had been shooting arrows continuously from his bow and arrows. One arrow could often kill three to five soldiers.

Even the great general Yao Lin was shot dead by Houyi with one arrow.

Yao Lin, the younger brother of Yao Si, was always called the Second Yao in the army. Although he was not as good at archery as his elder brother, he still had some ability in archery.

But unfortunately, with such a level, he was not qualified to fight Hou Yi. Therefore, this also doomed his fate.

But at this moment, a general in black armor holding a long stick, who was hiding behind several soldiers, suddenly jumped out about ten steps away from Houyi.

Hou Yi's face changed drastically. He quickly dropped his bow and switched to a sword, then faced the long stick.
