Chapter 172 Battle against Huang Zu

Updated: 2013-12-21

When Lu Yi returned to the barracks, he happened to see Liu Ye and the others rushing over, he couldn't help being startled, and asked, "Zi Yang, what happened in the army, why are you all here?"

"My lord, something really happened. Jiangxia Huangzu just sent someone over to say. The mountain road between Jiangxia and Xinye suddenly collapsed, and the passage has been blocked. He hoped that we can go around Xiakou and take a boat to Xinye from the water! "

Before Liu Ye could speak, Chen Gong said with a serious face.

From Jiangxia to Xinye, there are two roads, one of which is to go along the mountain road and enter Xinye, and the second is to start from the ferry, go up the river, and enter Xinye from Huyang.

Among them, the mountain road is remote, difficult to walk, and time-consuming, but the waterway is smooth all the way, which can shorten the distance by almost half.

Huang Zu's suggestion seemed to be for the sake of the Bingzhou Army.But Lu Yi didn't think so. Although it took some time to walk the mountain road, the Bingzhou Army was on land, so even if they were in danger, they could fight.

If they go by water, most of the Bingzhou army are from the frontier, not familiar with water, if they go on a boat, life and death will be controlled by Huang Zu.How could Lu Yi do such a thing.

"The mountain road is obviously good, but now it's spring again, and there's very little heavy rain, so why is the mountain road suddenly blocked?" A trace of doubt flashed across Lu Yi's heart almost immediately, and he glanced at Liu Ye. [

Liu Ye's expression darkened as well, and he nodded and said, "My lord, I'm afraid there are changes in Xiangyang, and Huang Zu is planning to attack us!"

"Hahaha...he wants to do something? I'm worried that I have no excuse to attack Huang Zu. Since he dares to do something, he must be ready to pay the price!"

When Lu Yi heard this, his face turned indifferent immediately. Although Huang Zu's sudden move was beyond his expectation, the Bingzhou Army was not at the mercy of others.

"Send the order to end the military market immediately! Order the army to prepare for battle!" Lu Yi didn't say much, he swung his cloak and entered the army tent first.

Many civil and military personnel from the Bingzhou Army hurried to follow and entered the military tent together. Everyone looked very dignified. After all, although the Bingzhou Army was very strong, Jingzhou was standing behind Huang Zu. There is almost no chance of winning if you start a war.

"Zi Yang, what do you think our army should do now?" Lu Yi knelt on the seat of the army leader, looking at Liu Ye beside him with piercing eyes. This is his mastermind, and this time is also a test Liu Ye's moment.

Liu Ye was not in a hurry, his handsome face showed a trace of self-confidence, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, at present, it seems that Huang Zu wants to harm us, but in fact it is very likely that it is Liu Biao from Jingzhou. Take action against us. Therefore, we cannot fight Huang Zu, and the main purpose at present is to open up the mountain road to Xinye as soon as possible and enter Xinye!"

"That's right, as long as Jiang Xia is spared, even in Nanyang, where the terrain is flat and suitable for cavalry to charge, even if Liu Biao reacts, there is nothing we can do. Instead, here in Jiang Xia, the longer we are stuck here, the more we will send troops to Liu Biao. time!"

Chen Gong took Liu Ye's words and said with a gloomy expression.

But Yang Hong suddenly remembered something, his face was slightly pale, and he shouted: "No, my lord, if my prediction is correct, Liu Biao's reinforcements may already be on their way!"

"Could it be that Liu Biao planned to deal with us when we first entered Jiangxia? It's just that we have a grudge against Liu Biao. Why did he want to deal with us?"

Zhang Liao was surprised again, with an even more angry look on his face.

Yang Hong smiled wryly when he heard the words, bowed his hands towards Lu Yi, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, I have something to do, and I want to report it to you in person, and I ask my lord to stand back!"

Yang Hong's words surprised everyone again. Almost all the generals present were generals of the Bingzhou Army. Even they couldn't know what happened.

Lu Yi was also slightly taken aback, and then thought of something. Generally speaking, he already understood what Yang Hong wanted to say to him, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, I know what you want to say, isn't it just a piece of cake?" Yuxi, I think that's probably why Liu Biao wants to deal with us!"

"Imperial jade seal?"

The general of the Bingzhou Army was shocked.

However, Liu Ye's breathing suddenly became rapid, and for the first time a look of shock appeared on his face, and he hesitated, "The jade seal that the lord is talking about, is it my big man's jade seal?"

"That's right, it's the jade seal of the great man!" Now, Lu Yi didn't plan to hide it any longer. A piece of jade seal was just icing on the cake, not as important as a ten thousand army.

By now, Lu Yi also wanted to understand Liu Biao's motive, and it wasn't for Yuxi.It's just that Lu Yi didn't expect that this matter would be leaked so quickly.

Obviously someone did it on purpose.

But Lu Yi can't control who leaked this secret at the moment.What he has to do now is how to destroy Huang Zu and subdue Gan Ning before Liu Biao's army arrives.

Lu Yi didn't want to give up on this general of water warfare.

"Zi Yang, I want to destroy Huang Zu before Liu Biao's reinforcements arrive, but I am afraid that he will defend the city to the death and won't be able to attack for a long time. What should I do?" Lu Yi turned his eyes to Liu Ye again.

Liu Ye thought about it carefully, he already had a calculation in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, it's not difficult to lure Huang Zu out, all you need is a large army to rush to the blocked mountain road, Huang Zu will definitely raise an army to chase after hearing about it. "

"That's right! Since Liu Biao wants to capture the jade seal, he will definitely not let us pass through the mountain road. Huang Zu has no choice but to chase after him!" After hearing Liu Ye's analysis, Lu Yi was determined.Immediately got up, and ordered in a deep voice, "All generals listen to the order. From now on, the whole army will set off and head towards the mountain road!"

"promise!"

Inside the military tent, Zhang Liao and others stood up at the same time, and walked out of the military tent in a hurry. Not long after, there were already bursts of people shouting and neighing outside the military tent.

"Brother Lu, what happened, why was the military market suddenly cancelled?"

Just as Lu Yi was going to his tent and putting on his armor, Zhen Mi walked in with Yuan Fei.He looked at Lu Yi with some puzzlement.

Lu Yi also felt a little ashamed, Zhen Mike did not do such a big thing, but it was only halfway started, but he had to stop.

"Brother Lu, are you going to fight again?"

Zhen Mi looked at Lu Yi, who was wearing half of the armor, with a look of concern in her eyes.She is an ice and snow smart woman, from the clues, she has already understood the general idea.

Zhen Mi didn't ask any more questions, but stepped forward gently, putting on the armor for Lu Yi, Yuan Fei also hurried forward, and the two girls put on the armor for Lu Yi together.

As for why Lu Yi suddenly made fun of Junshi, it was not important.

This suspicion made Lu Yi feel even more uncomfortable. He stretched out his arms, wrapped around the waists of the two girls, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I promised to stay with you for the next few days."

"Brother Lu, don't say that. It's important. I have Feifei and Xiaohuan to accompany me." Zhen Mi raised her head, looked at Lu Yi seriously, and said softly, "But if you promise me, you must cherish it." Own."

Yuan Fei didn't speak, but stood on tiptoe, kissed Lu Yi with a bang, and said charmingly: "My son-in-law, I'm waiting for you to come back! If you win the battle, there will be a reward..."

"Hahaha...with your words, what do you say this time, I will come back from a big battle!" Lu Yi patted the two women's plump buttocks one from the left and the other from the right, causing the two women to be coquettish.

Lu Yi felt very warm in his heart. Although he knew that with his own ability, even if he charged forward, it would be hurtful, but it was good to feel that someone cared about him.

Before he knew it, Lu Yi discovered that he was no longer struggling alone, and there were already a group of people who cared about him by his side.

Three hours later, all the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army packed up their luggage, and under the command of their respective generals, they rushed towards Jiang Xia with a murderous look.

Along the way, the counties under Shujiang Xia's rule were very noisy, thinking that the Bingzhou army was going to attack the city, but Lu Yi gave the order directly, bypassing these small towns, and went straight to the mountain road to kill.

…………

Along the way, the Bingzhou Army did not hide their intention of marching. The news quickly spread into Jiangxia City, and immediately attracted the attention of several people.

"What, why did the Bingzhou army walk the mountain road? Didn't the prefect say that the mountain road has collapsed and they can't pass people?"

"Yes, I also heard that Xiakou is recruiting large ships to transport the Bingzhou Army to Xinye. Why did they suddenly switch to land?"

"You don't know this, do you? I heard that there was news from Yangzhou just now that Lu Yi is said to have the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo in his hand!"

In Jiangxia City, people were discussing a lot, and in the prefect's mansion, Huang Zu's expression was gloomy and frightening, staring at the dozens of Jiangxia generals around him.

These military generals are all Jiang Xia's leaders, and they usually think highly of themselves, but now, they don't dare to show their arrogance, they all lower their heads and dare not make a sound.

When Huang Zu saw it, his face became more gloomy. He looked at Huang She and said, "She'er, we wanted to trick Lu Yi into coming to Xiakou, but who knew that he went directly to the mountain road. Tell me, should we chase him or not?"

"Chasing, we must chase! Now the news that the Bingzhou army has obtained the jade seal has spread throughout Jingzhou, and now Lu Yi suddenly rushed to the mountain road. My child is sure that Lu Yi probably has the jade seal in his hands. Xiangyang knows, isn't it a great disaster?"

Huang Zu nodded, but still hesitated, "Then Lu Yi has three thousand cavalry, if we fight him, the chances of winning may not be great."

"Father, why did you forget that the Bingzhou army's cavalry is powerful, we don't want to fight with him in the field, we just need to rush to the mountain road in advance, set up a camp in the middle, deep trenches and high fortifications, but when the Xiangyang army arrives, Lu Yi will die!"

"That's right, it's my son who came up with such a clever plan!" Huang Zu was overjoyed, the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt it was possible, and he immediately made up his mind to mobilize troops, block the mountain pass, and fight the Bingzhou army...

Just when Grandpa Huang and his son raised their troops and rushed to Shandao, Lu Yi was also discussing the military situation with Liu Ye, Chen Gong, and Yang Hong in the Bingzhou Army barracks.

"My lord, the spies have come to report that Huang Zu has sent troops to the mountain road with his troops. If Huang Zu sets up a camp on the mountain road, our army will be in danger." Chen Gong was in charge of intelligence, and said worriedly at this moment.

Lu Yi's face also darkened. If this is the case, the Bingzhou Army may be really trapped in Jiangxia. This is not what he wants to see.

We must rush to the mountain road immediately, without delay.Otherwise, once Huang Zu is allowed to set up camp first, the Bingzhou Army will be very passive.

After discussing with everyone, Lu Yi immediately decided to allocate more than [-] horses to all the horses in the army. Some of the most elite cavalry were selected, and they had to travel day and night to chase Huang Zu.

Although Huang Zu set off earlier than himself, he was an infantry, while Lu Yi was a cavalry, faster. Moreover, Lu Yi planned to launch another two-horse gallop, so he still had a chance to catch up with Huang Zu.

As long as Huang Zu is held back, the Bingzhou Army can still fight Huang Zu.Otherwise, once Huang Zu set up his camp and started shrinking his head, he would be passive.

"Zi Yang, I will trouble you to march with us this time!" Before leaving, Lu Yi did not forget to take Liu Ye with him. After all, Huang Zu's subordinates had a strong general like Gan Ning, so he did not dare to take it lightly.

Liu Ye didn't say anything, and readily agreed.

The army set off and marched frantically. This time, because they were chasing Huang Zu, Lu Yi did not let the soldiers wear heavy armor, but rushed forward lightly, and chased towards the mountain road.

At the same time, Huang Zu's army also walked out of Jiangxia city one after another, slowly moving towards the mountain road. Although Huang Zu kept urging the soldiers to move forward, they were infantry, and the fastest they could travel was only fifty miles a day.

However, Lu Yi's cavalry rushed forward with all their strength, non-stop day and night, and even the two horses took turns.

Two days later, at a distance of more than a hundred miles from the mountain road, the spies in front finally heard the news that Huang Zu's army had been discovered.This made Lu Yi slightly relieved.

At this time, after galloping at full speed for two days, Lu Yi's [-] cavalrymen were already tired and sleepy. As a scribe, Liu Ye's face was pale and his body was crumbling.

However, after Liu Ye heard that Huang Zu's army had caught up with him, he still braced his exhausted body and suggested to Lu Yi: "My lord, now that Jiang Xia's army has been discovered, we should rush to delay Huang Zu's footsteps." ! Force him to camp on the spot!"

"But you, military advisor..." Lu Yi looked at Liu Ye worriedly, and couldn't bear him to follow him around. He didn't want the mastermind he had finally found to die exhausted on the march.

"I'm fine. My lord, just leave a few people to protect me. Before Huang Zu finds out, let's strike first!" Liu Ye said in a deep voice.

Lu Yi nodded, but he glanced at the nearby soldiers, and saw that everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and their spirits were extremely exhausted.

But Lu Yi had to fight!

This is a rare opportunity, if Huang Zu reacts, if he divides his troops to block the mountain road, it will be a tragedy.Thinking of this, Lu Yi didn't hesitate anymore, and his expression gradually became serious.

Seeing the bloodshot eyes of the two thousand cavalry nearby, he asked in a deep voice, "Soldiers, I know you are very tired, but now, you dare to fight!"

"kill!"

Two thousand bright halberd blades stood upright. Although the knights on horseback were exhausted, they did not hesitate to prepare for battle when they saw Lu Yi's order.

Bursts of terrifying murderous aura emerged from their bodies.

Lu Yi nodded in satisfaction. He didn't speak, because it was no longer necessary. He showed his determination with practical actions.

Wu Yunju stood at the forefront!

boom!

The next moment, the horse's hooves were the same, and Wu Yunju roared, and his pitch-black body brought out a black afterimage, and rushed towards Huang Zu's army in the distance.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Behind Lu Yi, two thousand cavalry echoed at the same time. Seeing Lu Yi taking the lead, they all mustered up their courage and galloped with all their might.

Immediately, in the four fields, there was a loud cry of killing, and the sound of horseshoes was like thunder, and they rushed towards Huang Zu's rear army.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes continued to spread. Although it was not as earth-shattering as the heavy cavalry charging, it was extremely rare for hundreds of cavalry to charge in places like the south where horses were scarce.

Not to mention thousands of people?

Huang Zu's army, which was on their way, suddenly became chaotic.

"How is it possible, how did Lu Yi come so fast?"

In the central army, when the spies found that there were cavalry coming from behind, Huang Zu's face was full of disbelief.Among the generals, Gan Ning's expression was even more complicated, but he sighed and didn't say anything.

"Father, if Lu Yi came so quickly, he must have marched without regard to horsepower! Let's set up the formation immediately, and don't let him break into the Chinese army!" Huang She said from the side, although he was a little flustered, there was not much expression on his face. Worry.

Huang Zu came to his senses at his words, immediately laughed, nodded and said: "That's right, Lu Yi is now at the end of his strength, so why should I be afraid! She'er, quickly bring 5000 spearmen forward, Stop the Bingzhou army, and the rest of them will form an array on the spot!"

It's just that Huang Zu's voice hadn't finished yet, and on the horizon in the distance, groups of Bingzhou troops running wildly gradually appeared.

"Damn it, General Su, follow me!" Huang She was furious, raised the spear in his hand, and led Jiang Xia's general Su Fei, intending to stop him.

Su Fei has a refined appearance and looks like a Confucian general. Hearing Huang She's order, he hurriedly summoned his subordinates and rushed towards the rear army.

It's just that they were fast, they were infantry after all, how could they be opponents of cavalry, almost at the same time as Huang She led the soldiers and horses out, Lu Yi's Wuyun horse was the first to rush within a hundred steps of the rear army.

"Quick, that man is Lu Yi, archer, shoot him to death!" Inside the rear army.Suddenly two burly warriors walked out, and when they saw Lu Yi, they couldn't help laughing.

humming sound.

The sky darkened, but the archers in Jiang Xia's army began to show off their power.Although Jiang Xia's army was attacked in a hurry, more than [-] archers gathered in an instant and shot towards Lu Yi.

"Whoever stops me will die!"

The moment the rain of arrows shot over, Lu Yi's expression was indifferent, but his mind was highly concentrated. The steel knife moved, dancing layers of knife shadows, protecting his upper body, and the arrow clusters that were shot were cut off one after another.

But Wu Yunju moved left and right, advancing in a curve, passing the remaining bows and arrows like lightning, one man and one horse, roaring like that, and bumped into the messy formation of Jiang Xia Army...
