Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 777 Don't betray, don't give up!
As night fell, the heavy rain became heavier and heavier.

"Governor, they have withdrawn from the battlefield!"

"Governor, do we want to pursue?"

"Governor, if you don't order the pursuit, it will be too late!"

In the middle camp of the Jingzhou Army on the bank, a group of school lieutenants knelt on the ground and bowed their heads to Cai Mao.

This fight came fast.

But also go fast.

From the moment the Mu army attacked to the retreat, it took only an hour before and after. For a confrontation of tens of thousands of troops, an hour is a matter of an instant. Therefore, the generals of the Jingzhou army who fought were a little confused. At this time, they didn't know whether they should pursue or not.

"We are waiting for work at leisure, we have not defeated them yet, now we want to pursue them?"

Cai Hao was wearing a battle armor, his body was straight, he let the heavy raindrops hit his face, his fists were clenched tightly, his face was so gloomy that water beads came out, it didn't matter if he lost, but this kind of being led by the nose The feeling of burning his heart all the time.

From the beginning of the war, he seemed to be controlled by the opponent's rhythm. The news from both sides was asymmetrical. This was an ambush and also an encounter. However, the opponent's firm intention to fight changed the battlefield instead, and he slacked off for a while. , Since he was not firm in his will and chose to divide his troops, he had already lost half of it.

There is another reason.

He greatly underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Mu army.

In his opinion, the defeat of Xiangyang was due to Wenpin’s incompetence, Huang Zu’s lack of effort, the lord’s inability to fight, and Kuai Liang’s good governance. There are many reasons. Far beyond the combat power of the Jingzhou Army.

After all, Mu Jun just attacked Xiangyang City by surprise.

They must not be opponents if they fight in a fair manner.

and so……

He insisted on going north to attack the Mu army.

However, after this battle, he clearly recognized the fighting power of the Mu army.

The battle in Xiangyang may not be due to the incompetence of the Jingzhou army, but because the Mu army was too fierce.

Under such heavy rain conditions, the Shepherd Army can still display such a strong combat effectiveness. They can't stop the long-distance rush to attack the tired Shepherd Army in the rain, which already shows the strength of the Shepherd Army's combat effectiveness.

On the battlefield, talk about strategy, armaments, and rhythm... But nothing can escape the word combat power, which can crush everything.

"No need to chase!"

Cai Mao took a deep breath, he was calm, an ambush, he had already seen clearly the fighting power of Mu Jun, he could not do anything to Mu Jun even if he asked you to enter the urn, and it was useless to chase him up, he said in a low voice: "You clean up the battlefield, and then Get on board immediately!"

If one hit fails, give up immediately.

He can't let the main force confront the Mu army in Dangyang. After all, Jingzhou city is the most important. They stick to Jingzhou city and have a limited range of activities. However, as the attacking side, the Yizhou army can move freely. If they suddenly abandon Jingzhou If the city is not attacked and leads the army northward, then he will lose the innate advantage of defense and will undoubtedly lose.

"General, there is news from Dangyang that the First Battalion of the Mu Army has been besieged!"

"Order the two lieutenants Zuo Heng and Yu Yang to annihilate them immediately, then return quickly and board the ship to evacuate!"

Cai Mao said coldly.

It is also a victory to be able to hug a rabbit without being able to beat wolves.

..........................................

At the gate of Dangyang City, night gradually covered, and in the darkness, heavy rain poured down, and the battle became more and more intense.

"withdraw!"

"Go west uphill!"

"Into the woods!"

Huo Du commanded the soldiers, shouting hysterically.

The Xiangyang Battalion attacked Dangyangbei City, and the attack went smoothly at the beginning. It seemed that they were about to break into the city, and the casualties were very small. The Jingzhou Army has twice as many troops as him.

Unexpectedly, he knocked down his East Wing at once.

Fortunately, when he attacked Dangyang City Wall, he deliberately left his younger brother Huo Jun behind so that the Mu army could cross and demolish the bridge. Huo Jun's military accomplishments were higher than his elder brother's, and his martial arts skills were also unparalleled.

He reacted quickly, organized his troops immediately, and blocked it for a while. Only then did Huo Du have time to react. He retreated from the city wall and formed an army defense, otherwise they would have been defeated.

But even so, the Xiangyang camp was retreating steadily under the opponent's attack.

The city gate is impossible to enter.

The back was blocked again.

They could only fight while withdrawing from the gap in the west.

After a great battle, the Xiangyang Battalion lost more than 300 soldiers. Nearly one-tenth of the damage was already enough to shake the morale of the army. The Xiangyang Battalion itself was unstable. With such a large number of casualties, the morale of the army became somewhat turbulent. up.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses were about to lose control, Huo Du was also very anxious.

"Brother, they are approaching very quickly, and they have advanced another twenty steps. The front part has been completely defeated, and they have all withdrawn. They will be able to charge directly in half an hour at most. We can't stop their attack for half an hour. If you attack, you will be defeated like a mountain, completely collapsed!"

Huo Jun came up and reported to Huo Du.

"Go back again!"

Huo Du led the car and said.

"There is no way to retreat, there is no way behind us!" Huo Jun looked at the cliff behind, and said in a low voice: "There is a hill behind, a cliff two feet high, and it is impossible to go up. There are roads on the left and right, and the forest None, it's a dead end!"

"Archer!"

Huo Du shouted: "Let the archers stand in front, snipe them approaching, give us time to line up!"

"Master Captain, we are out of arrows!"

The Marquis of the Bow and Arrow Trilogy said with a wry smile.

All of a sudden, Huo Du's place was silent, and a bleak and desolate atmosphere gradually emerged.

"It seems that we are going to die here today!"

Huo Du looked up to the sky and screamed, and said mockingly in the heavy rain: "That's fine, we should have fought to the death in Xiangyang City back then, but we just managed to survive. If we die here today, it should be regarded as retribution!"

"Brother, the Mu Army simply used us as a bait to attract troops and create opportunities for them, but they never paid any attention to our life or death. It's really disgusting!"

Huo Jun's eyes were red, and he said through gritted teeth.

"Even if we know that he is using us, so what?" Huo Du asked lightly: "What can we change, can we fight back, can we fight them to the death?"

Originally, the Xiangyang camp was composed of soldiers.

These soldiers, after losing the battle, had nowhere to go, the meat was on the cutting board, and they were allowed to dispose of it.

"Brother Huo, the Mujun is not benevolent, why should we keep our loyalty, or should we surrender to the opposite side?" Junhou Yeyu said in a low voice: "The opposite side must be the Jingzhou army, and we were originally Jingzhou soldiers, and we were forced to surrender at the beginning. Yes, it is only natural to set things right now!"

"You can try and see if the other party is willing?"

Huo Du sneered: "Ye Yu, no matter what the reason is, there is no turning back from the day we returned to the Jiangmu Army. If you don't believe me, I won't stop you. You can try it, but you are dead , don't blame me!"

Ye Yu, Marquis of the Army heard the words, his heart was really ready to move. He didn't want to die. Under such circumstances, he would definitely not be able to escape when he was surrounded and killed. So he tore off a piece of white cloth, held it up as a banner, and led more than a dozen soldiers closest to him , rushed out, and yelled at the Jingzhou Army formation opposite: "General opposite, don't shoot arrows, this is General Liu Pan of Jingzhou..."

Whoosh! ! ! ! !
Under a flurry of arrows, Ye Yu was pierced by several arrows and died. His eyes were wide open, and he could not rest in peace. More than a dozen of his guards also fell down.

This scene made Xiangyang camp generals feel a sense of sadness in their hearts.

If they were somewhat lucky before, and hoped that by virtue of their status as Jingzhou soldiers, they could make the other party soft, then at this moment, they were completely desperate, and from now on, they were mourners.

A mourner in despair can display a desire to survive.

"Boys, if you try your best, you will die. If you don't, you will die. I am willing to give my life!"

Huo Du connived Junhou Yeyu to seek death, just to tell everyone that now, they have no way to go, arousing this sorrow, he raised his long knife and pointed forward: "Even if we want to die in battle, I would rather die." To die dignifiedly on this battlefield does not insult the strength of character of our Jingzhou people, you are willing to fight with me!"

"war!"

"war!"

The hope sent out by the mourning soldiers is a strong and different fighting power, and it is this fighting power that Huo Du perfectly utilizes, and the Xiangyang camp bursts into the final brilliance.

"rush!"

The Xiangyang battalion did not retreat and counterattacked, but killed the two battalions of the Jingzhou army. They were caught off guard, but they lined up neatly and did not advance rashly. Even if they were killed suddenly, they did not lose much force and quickly stabilized .

At this time, the Jingzhou army began to counterattack.

Bow and arrow!

Crossbow arrows!

Whoosh! ! ! ! !
Countless arrows shot out, and soldiers of the Xiangyang camp fell one by one.

"God loses me too!"

Huo Du looked up to the sky and screamed in grief and indignation.

"Brother, I will live and die with you!" Huo Jun yelled loudly after beheading several generals, covered in blood all over his body.

At this moment, the battlefield suddenly changed.

"Nanyang Huang Zhong is here, take an arrow from me!"

A cold arrow shot out from the void in the north, pierced through the heavy rain, and then pierced through the bodies of three soldiers, and finally fell into the middle army of the Jingzhou Army, where it was inserted into the arms of two school lieutenants. before.

It made them gasp.

What kind of strength and what kind of arrow skills can penetrate the army formation and reach the middle army from a thousand meters away.

Fantastic archery.

"kill!"

A group of troops rushed out from the north and rushed straight at the Jingzhou army. They first broke through their defense on the north wing, broke through their formation on the north wing, and then entered the middle army.

This force is not large, only more than a thousand people.

But ferocious.

The leader is Huang Zhong, and Huo Ping is under his command. Among the more than a thousand soldiers, there are only two hundred Modao soldiers. The charge was very fierce, rushing in like an arrow.

"Ambush?"

"Damn!"

The faces of the two school lieutenants of Jingzhou Army changed color instantly, the north wing was empty, and they were breached all of a sudden, and the battle formation of the Chinese army was suddenly in chaos. If they were cut off by lazy waist, they would be in danger.

"Nanyang Huang Zhong, that should be the world-famous Nanyang Sword King, this is the world's most powerful general, unstoppable, retreat!"

A school lieutenant spoke.

"withdraw!"

Although the Jingzhou Army still has fighting power, they dare not stand in the face of Huang Zhong's prestige, so they chose to retreat. When they slowly retreated, the Xiangyang Battalion breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the desperate situation .

"Can we still fight?"

Huang Zhong reined in his horse and stared at Huo Du.

"can!"

There was an inexplicable emotion in Huo Du's heart. Looking at Huang Zhong's figure, he suddenly felt very confident and safe, as if following this figure, he was not afraid of swords and fire.

"Then go!"

Huang Zhong drank loudly.

"Wait!" Huo Du suddenly stopped Huang Zhong: "Didn't you send us to die on purpose? Why did you send troops to save us!"

If you don't ask this question, he will feel uneasy.

"In the strategic deployment, some people will take on the offensive, some will take on the defensive task, and some will take on the baiting task. The tasks are different and cannot be synonymous. However, our herding army has never sent its own soldiers to die. There will be, and there will be no future!"

Huang Zhong reined in his horse, his tiger eyes were hunting. He was still injured and could not bear to fight head-on, but he could do a good job in this reinforcement mission. He looked at Huo Du calmly: "Your Xiangyang Battalion is the Jingping First Army. Under my command, no matter what happened in the past, if you enter, you will enter, you will enter the roster, you will make a military badge, you will be born as Jingping's soldier, and you will die as Jingping's ghost.

After speaking, he rode out.

"let's go!"

Huo Du's eyes were gloomy, hiding a touch of emotion, he took a deep breath, suppressed this touch of emotion, led the remnant generals under his command, followed Huang Zhong's figure, withdrew from the battlefield, and headed north.
