Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 540
In Jiangxia City, Cao Xiu, who is known as the Cao family's thousand-mile horse, looked southeast from the Jiangxia city tower. This was the first time he felt so happy fighting.

When Cao Xiu arrived in Jiangxia territory, he was not blocked at all along the way, and basically took down the entire Jiangxia without bloodshed.Jiangxia, the gateway to the north of Changsha, knocking down here means that half of Jiangdong will face Qin's soldiers.

Xia Houchong also participated in this dispatch of troops, and he is also in high spirits now, preparing to organize a celebration banquet in the city tonight.

Xiahouchong, the eldest son of Xiahoudun.

"Wen Lie, it's a great achievement for us to take Jiangxia down! Let's enjoy it tonight, what do you think?" Xia Houchong laughed loudly, obviously happy to take down Jiangxia.

Cao Xiu frowned, took a deep breath, and said: "Let's send troops as soon as possible! You lead troops to raid Changsha, let Xia Houheng lead troops to raid Luling, and I will personally raid Yuzhang. If you can conquer in one fell swoop before Lu Su reacts Poyang, pressing Jianye."

Xia Houchong sighed, the army had just moved in a hurry, and now it was about to raid Poyang again, and the soldiers were also very tired.

But Cao Xiu made up his mind and confirmed that he must win Yuzhang as soon as possible!Now that Yuzhang is guarded by Huang Gai, this person is not easy to deal with, and it is absolutely impossible to defeat him without a surprise attack.

"Tomorrow morning I will send troops, and I must arrive at Yuzhang within three days. Conquer Yuzhang within ten days, otherwise we will have no worries." Cao Xiu turned and left the tower, preparing to go down to rest overnight, and lead a cavalry raid on Yuzhang City tomorrow.

Xia Houchong sighed again, but he also had a flash of inspiration, thinking that it would be a good thing for Cao Xiu to raid Yuzhang.On Jiangxia's side, there is Dangyang Chengguan in the rear as a guarantee, and there will be no enemy raids again. Once Cao Xiu leaves, Xia Houchong thinks that the soldiers can have a feast and rest.

At the same time, in Yuzhang City, Huang Gai was dispatching soldiers to start transporting food, weapons, and all usable luggage to Poyang.

"Quick! Don't dawdle, all the staff will withdraw from Yuzhang in three days and stick to Poyang!" Huang Gai narrowed his eyes. He is also very anxious now, but he knows that he must be calm.

Cao Xiu's assault on Jiangxia will soon mobilize troops in Changsha and Yuzhang. Cheng Pu, who guards Changsha, is also urgently dispatching troops to retreat to Poyang.

Jiangxia was conquered, and Wu's northwestern front teeth were gone, and they could easily be raided throughout the Jiangdong area.And Huang Gai also thought of a countermeasure, but this countermeasure would never be implemented without a large number of troops.

Therefore, abandoning Changsha and Yuzhang is Huang Gai's best solution.

Zhu Ran came on his horse, got off his horse, and hurriedly reported: "General Huang Gai, Cao Xiu has stabilized Jiangxia. Now the spies have received news that Cao Xiu will divide his troops into two groups to raid Changsha and Yuzhang. General Cheng Pu has withdrawn from Changsha, and he will leave in two days. Can reach Yuzhang. Do we need to set up an ambush and count Cao Xiu?"

Huang Gai thought for a moment, and said: "Okay! This Cao family's thousand-mile horse is not easy to deal with. If he is allowed to run wild in the Jiangdong area, Jiangdong may be in danger."

Zhu Ran sneered, he didn't think Cao Xiu could mess up the whole Wu country.It is still very easy to calculate a Cao Xiu.

"Fire plan! I am going to ambush on the only way Cao Xiu must pass, and set fire to the mountain! Even if Cao Xiu survives, I will force his army back for a few days." Zhu Ran got on his horse, and before Huang Gai could respond, he immediately Just go to schedule your own steps.

Huang Gai is always a little uneasy, but now he can only retreat quickly to defend Poyang, and has no time to take care of Zhu Ran.

"I hope that Cao Xiu's sending troops this time is just Sima Yi's plan, not Cao Cao's. If Cao Cao sends troops into Jiangdong in time, the Wu Kingdom will be raided and wiped out! Wentai, your spirit in heaven, must protect Jiangdong!" Huang Gai narrowed his eyes. Eyes, raise your hand to ask the sky, I hope Sun Jian's spirit in the sky can bless Jiangdong.

two days later

In the valley, the only way to Yuzhang, Cao Xiu garrisoned his troops and was convinced that there was an ambush ahead.

Huang Gai is a general of the Wu Kingdom. He is old and has experienced many battles. He will definitely have countermeasures.Ahead is the only way to Yuzhang. If there is no ambush, Cao Xiu will never believe it.

"General, is there an ambush ahead? If that's the case, our army might as well set fire to the mountain!" the vanguard soldier asked, he thought the ambush ahead was nothing to worry about.

Cao Xiu snorted coldly, and reprimanded: "Setting fire to the mountain is a waste of time! Our army needs time to raid Poyang, how can we waste time here? Go and capture the people in the nearby villages and drive them into the valley, as our army's shield!"

Cao Xiu is very hot and decisive, this move is enough to make the Wu army in front of the ambush have some scruples.There are more or less family members of Wu army officers and soldiers in the nearby villages. If they want to ambush the army, they must injure the people, which will cause the army's morale to be chaotic.

The vanguard soldiers hesitated for a moment, but they also made up their minds and led troops to arrest the people in the nearby mountain villages.

After half a day, Zhu Ran was overjoyed that he didn't wait for Cao Xiu's army to come.Whether it was Cao Xiu's detour or finding a way to solve his ambush, a lot of time would be wasted.In this way, Poyang can establish a complete fortification, and the hinterland of Jiangdong will be impenetrable!

"General, something is wrong! Qin Jun, Qin Jun's thieves are here!" The scouts came to report, and they were very angry.

Zhu Ran was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "That's a good thing! Later, shoot rockets directly, shoot and kill the Qin army's thieves, and at the same time set fire to the mountain to resist the enemy!"

Just as Zhu Ran was about to give an order, the scout grabbed his arm and reported again: "General, no! General Cao Xiu of the Qin Army captured the people in the nearby mountain villages in half a day and let them enter the valley first. Many brothers They are from Yuzhang, and there are brothers' families among them, if they set fire to the mountain..."

Zhu Ran's heart trembled, he didn't expect Cao Xiu to be so vicious.If he wants to wear down the Qin army, he will inevitably hurt the people, and the morale of the army will be messed up.If Cao Xiu is released, the army ambushing here will be in danger. This plan is vicious.

"Damn it! If that's the case, I can only meet Cao Xiu in person for a while! Give up the ambush and send troops directly to resist the Qin army!" Zhu Ran made a decisive decision. Since he couldn't ambush and burn the mountain, he would face Cao Xiu directly.

Cao Xiu's control of the people of Wu Jun's soldiers will inevitably make Wu Jun's soldiers angry, and fighting head-on may be able to delay time.

"Big Army, don't ambush anymore, just go down and line up with this general!" With an order, Wu Jun, who was ambushing in the valley, rushed out and formed an array on the only way in the valley to resist Qin's army.

At the mouth of the valley, Cao Xiu's spies rushed back to report the situation and told him that the Wu army lying in ambush ahead came out to fight.

Cao Xiu frowned, and thought to himself: "Who is this general of the Wu army? He will fight to the death and delay my attack on Yuzhang! He is ruthless enough, but I don't know if he dares to shoot these Wu people. .”

With a fierce look on his face, Cao Xiu immediately got his cavalry archers ready, he was going to shoot Wu Jun in front!
