Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 308 Sending out troops (2)

The tiger and leopard cavalry was like a fierce tiger, pounced towards the Xuanjia army, and the Xuanjia army swept in like a black tide, and the two cavalry collided head-on and fought.

Thirty miles away from the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, a thousand soldiers and horses were lurking here, and this was where Li Song was.

A personal guard came up to Li Song on horseback, bowed his fists and said, "Prime Minister! Our army's Xuanjia army and the enemy's tiger and leopard cavalry are facing each other, and the two armies each have a thousand cavalry fighting each other."

"Oh! How was the result? Who won? Is my Xuanjia army better, or Cao Ang's tiger and leopard cavalry is better?" Li Song also wanted to know who was stronger.

"Prime Minister! Our Xuanjia Army won this battle and defeated Cao Jun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Cao Zhen, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, was seriously injured. There were only a hundred Tiger and Leopard Cavalry left in this battle, and our Xuanjia Army lost five hundred." The guard said.

Although Li Song didn't know the real strength of the tiger and leopard cavalry, since it was able to cause five hundred damage to a thousand Xuanjia troops, its combat effectiveness was also the number one rank. Tell Li Song about it.

"My lord! The last general is incompetent! He was defeated by the enemy! The tiger and leopard cavalry almost wiped out the whole army! Cao Zhen was unfavorable in his army, so please punish him, my lord." Cao Zhen said.

"Zidan! You have tried your best. You are not to blame for this. The enemy's cavalry is too strong. You are injured. You should go down and rest first!" Cao Ang said, and ordered Cao Zhen to be taken down to rest.

"Listen Cao Jun inside, you are already surrounded, come out and surrender if you are sensible. Our army treats the prisoners preferentially. As long as you disarm and surrender, our army will not kill you. If you dare to resist! When our army breaks through, You must die without a whole body!" Cao Zhen was dragged down, and a horse galloped from Li Jun's army, shouting loudly.

"Brother! They are too deceitful! Let my two brothers meet them for a while." Cao Pi and Cao Zhang said.

"You two brothers, don't be reckless! The plan for now is to hold them back and wait for the reinforcements to arrive. It will not be too late to go! Now the enemy's strength is much stronger than ours." Cao Ang said, and the two listened. Had to give up!Even if you are unwilling, you can only endure it.

"I don't know if we can discuss it for a few days!" Cao Ang put his hand on the hilt of his sword and shouted to the people outside. If it weren't for the fact that there are not many soldiers here, he really wants to just rush out like this, but he is the commander of the first army. , it must be considered for the whole army, not to show off the bravery of everyone!
"You wait, I'll go back and ask my general!" The man turned his horse and went back to ask Li Cunxiao and Guan Sheng for instructions.

Not long after, the man came back again. Li Cunxiao and Cao Ang had the same purpose, to delay time and wait for Liu Qi's reinforcements. Naturally, he readily agreed to Cao Ang's request.

"My general said, let you think about it for three days. After three days, if there is no reply, our army will launch an attack on you." After the man said, he rode back to the battle.

Cao Ang was not happy because the enemy gave him three days to think about it. Instead, he frowned. The other party agreed so readily!There must be something wrong here, but I just can't figure it out for a while.

"Report! Report to General! Xiakou General Cao sent people here." In Jiangxia City, Liu Qi's personal guards led the people Cao Ang sent to ask for help to meet Liu Qi.

"I've seen General Liu!" Liu Qi glanced at the person next to the guard, who hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"Your lord sent you here, is there something important?" Liu Qi asked suspiciously, did he come to ask for food?Didn't I send them to them soon!
"Report to General Liu! Li Song's army besieged Xiakou, my lord ordered me to come to ask for help, and also asked General Liu to send troops to relieve Xiakou's danger." The man said.

"What? Xiakou is besieged?" Liu Qi was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes! The enemy army is coming fiercely! My lord personally led the soldiers to resist desperately, and ordered me to come for help." The man said.

"How many enemy troops have come?" Liu Qi asked. If there were too many enemies, he would have nothing to do with it.

"The enemy army only sent [-] soldiers and horses, which are only of medium combat power. I also ask General Liu to send troops to help our army." That humanely said that the enemy had [-] soldiers and horses as only [-], just because he was afraid of intimidation. To Liu Qi, lest he dare not send troops.

"Okay! You go back first, and I will immediately gather troops and horses and go to the rescue." Liu Qi said, there are only [-] soldiers and horses, which is still within the range he can accept.

"Yes! Farewell!" The man bid farewell and left as soon as he cupped his hands.

Liu Qi hastily gathered troops and horses, and went to rescue by land and water. He naturally understood the reason why Xiakou lost, and it would be Jiang Xia's turn, and more importantly, because of Zhuge Liang, Liu Qi and Cao Ang had nothing to do with each other. relation.

If he doesn't send troops to rescue and cause Xiakou to lose, he will turn against Zhuge Liang, which is the last thing he wants to see.

Liu Qi's soldiers and horses headed towards Xiakou. On the only way to Xiakou, they encountered Tan Daoji's ambushes. The two armies fought and wiped out Liu Qi's army.

"Report to the prime minister! General Tan sent back news that Liu Qi's [-] reinforcements were wiped out." A personal guard reported to Li Songhui.

"Liu Qi sent such a small number of people here, so I'm not afraid that they are not our army's opponents, and it would be a bit exaggerated." Li Song wondered.

He didn't know that it was because the people Cao Ang sent lied about the strength and number of Li Song's army, so Liu Qi sent [-] infantry troops and [-] sailors to rescue them by land and water.

"Prime Minister! Liu Qi also sent five thousand sailors and hundreds of warships to Xiakou," said the guard.

"Oh! That's good! It will greatly weaken Liu Qi's strength. Once Liu Qi's navy is wiped out, immediately order Li Cunxiao and the others to attack Xiakou. It is impossible for Liu Qi to send troops again," Li Song said.

"No!" The guard clasped his fists and saluted.

"Report!" At this time, a personal guard quickly came to Li Song, knelt down on one knee and said, "I want to report to the Prime Minister! General Li Shunchen met Liu Qi's navy, defeated Liu Qi's navy, and captured Liu Qishui Fifty warships from the army captured 1000 enemy sailors, and the rest were buried at the bottom of the river."

"Okay! Pass on the order! Order Li Cunxiao to launch an attack on Xiakou, take Xiakou, and order Pei Yuanqing, Xiao Mohe, Tan Daoji, and Li Sunchen's navy to attack Jiangxia immediately, and make sure to take Jiangxia to me," Li Song said. .

"No!" The personal guard took the order and left.

When the horn sounded, Li Cunxiao and Guan Sheng led troops and horses to launch a fierce attack on Cao Ang's army, intending to defeat Cao's army in one go.

On the other side, Pei Yuanqing and others also charged towards Jiangxia. Liu Qi led the army to resist desperately. In the end, due to the fact that the enemy was outnumbered, Jiangxia City was still breached, and Liu Qi shielded Jiangdong from far away.

In this battle, Li Song won a complete victory!After capturing Jiangxia and Xiakou, Cao Ang, Liu Qi and others fled to Jiangdong for refuge.
