Chapter 531 Huang She returns and surrenders
It is said that Jiangxia's position is too important, Huang Zu secretly colluded with Cao Cao, which led to the complicated and confusing battle situation in Erlong Valley. The first person to suffer a big loss was Wen Pin, the vanguard general of the Qinglong Army. He was ambushed by Cheng Yu and nearly 5,000 people were killed or injured. Countless others escaped. It was a huge defeat.
Fortunately, Sun Ce led the troops to attack Xu Chu's rear team and rescued the rest of Su Fei's troops. Chen Shuzhi also bravely captured Xiahou Dun on horseback, and the battle situation turned around. The biggest person responsible for this major setback of the Qinglong Army is Zhuge Liang, who is just starting out, and Xi Zhicai, who underestimated Cao Mengde. Compared with Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, who used military tactics strangely and resolutely, Zhuge Liang and Xi Zhicai were still a little immature, but what Zhou Gongjin showed was a great talent and broad strategy.
In Huangzu's city, he planned to receive Cao's army into the city. Huang Zu felt refreshed and refreshed in the past few days. Cao Mengde had already sent an envoy to announce the appointment of the Marquis of Jiangxia, which he had longed for, and promised to be the Lord of Jiangxia forever from generation to generation. If Cao's army wins this time, at dawn, Cao's army will enter Queyue City, take over Jiangxia Water Village, and train an invincible naval force that can travel thousands of miles up and down the Yangtze River.
This was a great opportunity for the Huang family to make a comeback. Huang Zu was eagerly looking forward to dawn. He only heard people shouting horses neighing in the distance, but did not see Cao's army coming to the city. Seeing the red sun rising, Huang Zu felt anxious and sent out a scout to investigate, but he did not return for a while. King Bei, who was at the top of the city, accidentally turned around and saw a plume of thick smoke rising from the Yangtze River in the distance. Huang Zu was shocked, his expression changed, and he ordered his son Huang She to say: "Isn't that the direction of the water stronghold? Quickly lead the troops to investigate!"
To the south of Queyue City is the mighty Yangtze River. The Huang Zujun water village between the mountains and rivers is experiencing rounds of rockets. Waves of thick smoke are rising into the sky, and fires are burning. In the mist of the water, countless warships with the Qinglong flag emerged like ghosts, facing Huang Zu's naval army neatly arranged in the water village, with strong bows and crossbows carrying balls of fire on their tips, raining down on the port. On top of the warship parked inside.
Poor Huang Zu's navy had not moved out early in the morning, and all the ships were docked in the harbor. The fire spread for a while, and the smoke threatened to cover the sky and the earth. A Huang Zu warship barely broke away from the group, and went straight out of the harbor with smoke and fire. Standing on the bow was a dark-faced general, holding a square shield in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand. He was the navy on duty. General Deng Long.
There were rockets in front of Deng Long, and several rockets were inserted into his square shield instantly. Deng Long used his shield on his left and his sword on his right to deflect random arrows. He saw a very huge warship in front of him. Knowing that it was the opponent's flagship, he ordered the sailors around him to quickly move closer to the opponent's flagship.
As soon as Deng Long finished speaking, a black arrow suddenly shot out from among the thousands of rockets. It was so fast that it surpassed the rain of rockets and arrived first, and it arrived in front of Deng Long with a whooshing sound. Deng Long saw fire dancing in front of his eyes when he was suddenly attacked by a hidden arrow. In the middle of his busy schedule, he shrunk his body and hid behind the wooden shield. Unexpectedly, the arrow, packed with huge internal force, hit the center of the wooden shield with a loud bang, and immediately exploded the wooden shield. There was a big hole, and the feathered arrow disappeared from the big hole without stopping, and plunged into Deng Long's chest with a pop.
Deng Long's heart ached. He had been injured by the arrow. His eyesight went dark. His hands were tightly grasping the long knife and the broken wooden shield. He tried to open his eyes and finally saw clearly the naked upper body of a general on the opposite side. He is slowly putting away the strong bow in his hand. Deng Long pointed his sword, intending to ask his men to take revenge, but his mind became dizzy. His body was pushed forward by the weight of the sword and wooden shield, and he fell down the side of the ship with a thud, and disappeared into the rolling Yangtze River.
As soon as Deng Long died, the soldiers around him were in chaos. Seeing the Qinglong Army's flagship getting closer and closer, the shirtless warrior was the first to fly onto Deng Long's ship and shouted: "Qinglong Ganxingba is here! Whoever surrenders will avoid death." !" Behind Gan Ning, countless Qinglong warriors burst into smoke and started a melee with Deng Long's navy. Within half an hour, all Deng Long's navy surrendered, and the few Huangzu warships that could still fight were captured by other warships under Gan Ning's banner.
Gan Ning shot Deng Long down with an arrow, jumped over the enemy ship with his body covered in black fire and smoke, bit the dagger in his mouth, personally pulled down the battle flag of Huang Zu's army, and threw it into the burning cabin of Deng Long's ship. Surrounded by all the Qinglong warriors, there was thunderous cheer for a while. In less than a morning, the Qinglong navy destroyed Huang Zu's water village. It can be said that the record is shining and the results are brilliant. Gan Ning was so proud that he was about to order all the warships to enter the water village and land. Suddenly, his expression changed. Among the piles of burning wreckage of Huang Zu's navy warships, another large ship slowly sailed out, with distinctive rafts and oars. , The sails and masts are towering, obviously it is a high-end flagship. On the bow of the ship, there was a man in bright yellow armor, holding a white flag in his hand, and kept shouting: "General Gan, don't let go of your arrows! I'm here to make peace!"
Gan Ning was overjoyed, but the general who came was Huang She, the son of Huang Zu and an old acquaintance of the past and his rival for several years. Gan Ning inserted his short sword and restrained his men not to fire arrows before they crossed the enemy ship. His subordinates grabbed him and said, "No, General Xingba! How do you know if it's an enemy trap?"
Gan Ning laughed and said: "If the person facing you was Huang Zu, I would not be willing to be so trusting. Huang She once persuaded Huang Zu to surrender to the Qinglong Army. He has long been close to the Qinglong Army. If he comes to surrender today, he must be sincere. Don't be suspicious." After saying that, he jumped up, crossed several feet of void between the two ships, and landed in front of Huang She.
Gan Ning, a master of arts, was brave enough to jump into Huang She's warship alone. His muscles were as tense as iron, and he looked at Huang She. Huang She did not hesitate, knelt down on one leg and said, "Huang She, the villain, has admired the kindness of Lord Qinglong for a long time. Now that I have this good opportunity, I am willing to surrender under the general's recommendation."
Gan Ning snorted and said proudly: "My father Huang Zu, why don't you surrender?"
Huang She's expression changed and he said: "General Gan! I am me, and my father is my father. I have long wanted to follow the Qinglong. If Sun Jian hadn't blocked it last time, I would have led the horse and put the stirrup for the Lord of the Qinglong. If you don't believe it, general, I will I would like to go back to the city to persuade my father. If he doesn’t listen, I will kidnap him and come here.”
When Gan Ning heard this, he didn't expect that Huang She was determined to surrender. His face turned good and he said, "If you are sincere, I will offer Queyue City. If you go back on your promise, my lord Chen Long will not tolerate you. When the time comes, my army will attack the city and kill you." The entire Huang family."
Huang She trembled slightly and said: "I was ordered to investigate the military situation in Shuizhai. I saw with my own eyes the devastation of the Qinglong Army. I dare not say anything false. For the sake of the lives of the Huang family and the people of Hecheng, I, Huang She, will keep my word." Letter. But......"
Huang She paused, and continued under Gan Ning's confused eyes: "But my father has officially surrendered to Cao Cao. In the past two days, I heard that Cao Cao's army was about to enter the city. Last night, Cao Cao's army sent an outpost to the city to communicate. It was said that Xu Chuhe Xiahou Dun came in person, with nearly 80,000 people.”
Gan Ning was shocked and heard Huang She continue: "I heard last night that there was fighting in Erlongshan and Zhangjiachong areas outside the city. The details are unknown. I am afraid that Cao's army has arrived. General Gan please go and report to Mingxi Zhicai's military advisor as soon as possible. Make plans!”
Gan Ning felt dizzy. Where did Xi Zhicai send his troops? Was Huang Hansheng attacked? Now that it was clear that the troops attacking Hefei would encounter Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun's troops, he had no choice but to send people to inform Zhuge Liang for instructions.
Just when Huang She surrendered and Gan Ning sent people to inform Zhuge Liang that Cao's troops had reached Queyue City, Xi Zhicai and Cheng Zhongde were reaching an agreement. Cao Cao released Wenpin and his son, and the Qinglong Army released the seriously injured Xiahou Dun. The two parties agreed Half an hour later, each side brought 300 cavalry and changed their generals in front of the formation.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
