The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 196 The Disappeared Jiangdong Army

The Jiangdong army made a move, and Lu Bu immediately judged that Zhou Yu planned to lead his army back into the mountains to start a long-term confrontation with him.

There are rolling hills around Shouchun.

The hills are not high but keep rising and falling, the army is lurking in it, and it is not easy to find them out.

Lu Bu ordered: "Zilong led the army to raid the enemy's rear, and my uncle ordered Chiyan's rear to clean up and disperse the fleeing enemy."

Zhao Yun and Chen Dao received the military order.

Under the leadership of Chen Dao, the Chiyan Army stood in the main formation, while Zhao Yun led the troops and rushed to the Jiangdong Army under Ling Cao's headquarters.

Leading the soldiers to kill the Jiangdong Army, Zhao Yun rushed to the front with a spear.

Ling Cao, who was ordered to take over Zhou Tai's command, saw Zhao Yun rushing towards him, so he went forward and killed him.

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army who lined up behind him let out a cry, and swarmed towards Zhao Yun.

In terms of bravery, Lu Bu is indeed unmatched.

However, Zhao Yun was not someone Ling Cao could deal with.

The two of them were on the wrong horse, Zhao Yun thrust his spear forward, Ling Cao quickly blocked, but he kicked him on the waist and eyes suddenly, and fell off the horse.

Ling Cao fell off his horse, and the Jiangdong army who followed hurriedly stepped forward to snatch him away.

Zhao Yun rushed into the Jiangdong army formation with a long spear.

The spears fluttered, and the Jiangdong Army who stood in front of him were thrown to the ground one by one.

In just an instant, Zhao Yun made a way through the Jiangdong army.

The soldiers who followed him rushed towards the Jiangdong Army with shouts.

Zhou Tai was captured by Lu Bu, which had already brought great damage to the morale of the Jiangdong Army soldiers.

If Ling Cao could hold the line, he might be able to recover some of the lost morale.

But what he met was Zhao Yun.

The two were just on the wrong horse, and Ling Cao was thrown off by Zhao Yun. Although his life was not in danger, he was powerless to fight back.

Zhou Yu sent Ling Cao to the back line, thinking that he would be able to resist for a while, but Zhao Yun put him down as soon as the two sides fought.

At first, the Jiangdong Army bravely stepped forward to resist, but under the onslaught of Zhao Yun and his soldiers, they soon lost the will to fight.

The Jiangdong army in front was still fighting with Lu Bu's army, while those behind had already started to retreat.

Lu Bu's capture of Zhou Tai has greatly boosted morale.

Zhao Yun knocked down Ling Cao with a wrong horse, which was more like a shot in the arm for the soldiers.

Facing the fierce attack of Lu Bu's army, how could Jiangdong's army be able to resist it?
Finally, someone in the rear began to escape.

The soldiers who were resisting the enemy found that their companions were retreating regardless of them, and the remaining will to fight collapsed instantly.

The Jiangdong army began to flee, and Zhao Yun led the army to cover up and kill them.

Jiangdong Army was cut down everywhere along the way.

Zhao Yun broke up the enemy's rear, and Lu Bu drew his halberd and pointed forward: "Soldiers, kill me! Whoever captures Zhou Yu will be rewarded with ten beauties! He will be promoted to three ranks!"

Being promoted to an official position and being gentle and beautiful have always been the deepest temptation.

As soon as Lu Bu shouted, countless soldiers rushed out like a tide.

The Jiangdong Army's retreat was not as smooth as Zhou Yu imagined.

Zhao Yun broke up their rear formation, and then Lu Bu who killed them rushed directly into the main formation.

After retreating into the forest, Zhou Yu had someone count the number of people.

The two sides just fought an encounter. The original army of 5000 people actually only had 3000 people left.

The Jiangdong army who followed him into the forest all looked dejected and completely lost the belief in fighting.

Looking around at the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army, Zhou Yu's expression was also very bad.

He asked the guard on the side: "How is General Ling?"

The guard replied: "I didn't suffer fatal injuries, I just fell hard. I broke two ribs, so I'll be fine after a few days of recuperation."

Zhou Yu was speechless, and waved his hand to signal the guards to step back.

Looking back on the whole battle process, he suddenly understood that Lu Bu didn't adopt any strategy at all, but just defeated them with his bravery.

The gap between the two sides is not in deployment and strategy, but that the Jiangdong Army has no strong generals who can compete with Lu Bu.

Zhou Tai was still barely able to fight Lu Bu, but sooner or later he would lose in the long run.

Regardless of whether Zhou Yu won gold or not at that time, the result of Zhou Tai's capture was irreversible.

It wasn't until this time that Zhou Yu realized that from the very beginning, Lu Bu's goal was not him, but Zhou Tai, the number one fighter by his side.

If Zhou Tai is captured, the morale of the Jiangdong Army will plummet.

The success or failure of this battle was actually entirely on Zhou Tai alone.

After defeating Zhou Yu's Jiangdong Army, Lu Bu did not return to Shouchun.

He ordered scouts to detect Zhou Yu's movements who had fled into the forest, ready for the next fight at any time.

Standing with his hips akimbo outside the barracks, Lu Bu looked at the mountains and forests in the distance.

Zhao Yun came over: "Marquis Wen, what should we do with so many prisoners?"

"Send it to Shouchun and hand it over to Wenyuan to take care of it." Lu Bu said, "We didn't keep any alive before because we couldn't take the prisoners on the march. Now that we are so close to Shouchun, there is no need to kill the prisoners. The Central Plains has fought for many years, and the population It has already decreased too much. If the Central Plains is weak, the foreign race will rise. There are too many murders, and sooner or later we will be the ones who will harm us."

"I understand." Zhao Yun responded, and then asked: "What about Zhou Tai?"

"Send it to Shouchun as well." Lu Bu said, "Let Shuzhi lead the Red Flame Army to personally escort him. Zhou Yu still has 3000 troops under his command. If he can rescue Zhou Tai, the next battle will be difficult."

"I'll tell Uncle Zhi right now." Zhao Yun took the order and left.

Lu Bu thrust his waist and continued to look at Bagong Mountain in the distance.

The Bagong Mountain is endless, and Zhou Yu fled into the mountain. Even if he sent so many scouts, he might not be able to find him.

Jiang Dong Zhou Lang finally came to Huainan, it would be a pity if he ran away!

Zhou Yu hid in the mountains, and there was no news for two or three days.

Chen Dao led the Red Flame Army to escort Zhou Tai and the Jiangdong Army prisoners to Shouchun, but they were not stopped.

The Red Flame Army has a lot of people, and they are the elite selected by Chen Dao.

Although he suffered a big defeat, Zhou Yu was not an ordinary general after all.

When Chen Dao escorted the prisoners to Shouchun, the movement was not too small. He must have sent scouts to find out the situation.

If it were someone else, they might choose to kill Chen Dao and grab back Zhou Tai at this time.

After all, regaining Zhou Tai will restore some of the lost morale of the soldiers.

But Zhou Yu didn't do that.

It is impossible for a general like him not to see the gap between the Red Flame Army and those defeated generals under him.

With only two to 3000 people, it is simply wishful thinking to take back prisoners of war from the Red Flame Army, which is even more numerous than them!
Zhou Yu didn't move, but Lu Bu couldn't sit still.

Bagong Mountain stretches into stretches, and the scouts haven't brought back any useful news. The Jiangdong Army hiding in the forest seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

The longer the Jiangdong army disappeared, the less hope of capturing Zhou Yu.
