Chapter 530: Uncle Chen’s Arrival
It is said that Zhou Gongjin originally made a strange plan to let Sun Ce pass through the narrow exit of Lushan City, lead his army to bypass Cao Jun's strong army and raid the city of Hefei. It has to be said that Zhou Gongjin's judgment was extremely accurate. Cao's troops from Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu did not enter the Lujiang River, but entered the Jiangxia area along the Lu'an and Macheng passages, intending to unite with Huang Zu, who secretly surrendered to Cao, to eliminate Huang Zhong and Xi Zhi in one fell swoop. Just take down the entire Jiangxia. If Cao Cao succeeds, all the towns and counties on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Jiangxia will belong to Cao Cao.
It's a pity that although Zhou Lang had unparalleled plans, he didn't expect Cao Mengde to actually come to the battlefield in person. Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde had expected that Qinglong Huang Zhong's army would surprise Hefei, so they had already customized the pocket formation in Erlong Valley for Qinglong's army. Originally, according to Zhou Gongjin's plan, Cheng Yu did not expect that there was a secret exit for the Jiangdong Army in Lushan City. However, Sun Bofu was so happy to see that he was hunting, and despite Yu Fan's dissuasion, he insisted on leading his troops to attack Zhangjiachong. Although he saved the Qinglong Army, When Su Fei returned to Lushan City, he also exposed the Jiangdong Army's troops in Lushan City, and Gong Jin's surprise attack on Hefei plan customized for Sun Lang came to nothing.
The battle situation turned out to be a strange combination of circumstances. At dawn, Cao Cao led a group of Qingzhou soldiers to set up camp in front of Lushan City, suppressing Sun Ce's 30,000 Jiangdong Army. It was impossible to cross Cao Cao's field army to attack Hefei. Xu Chu led his troops deep into the Erlong Valley. Cao's troops moved away the corpses and rocks, and finally got out after a lot of effort, preparing to meet Xiahou Dun's troops. Xu Chu heard the roar of gongs and drums outside the valley, and the roar of battles. He was anxious, so he found an iron helmet belonging to an unknown person and put it on. He stepped out of the valley mouth first, only to see that the ground was in chaos. Xiahou Dun's tens of thousands of Cao's troops were tightly packed. Compressed in the small empty space around the mouth of the valley, the surrounding area is surrounded by dark cyan armor.
Xiahou Dun's troops suddenly saw their own troops emerging from the mouth of the valley. As if they saw an escape route, they immediately rushed toward the gap, pushing Xu Chu's army aside. Seeing that the momentum was not right, Xu Chu grabbed a young general and asked, "Where is General Yuan Rang?"
The young general's face was covered with blood, and he was obviously exhausted. When he saw it was General Xu Chu, he said in a harsh voice: "General Xiahou was shot blind by a white horse general and was captured alive!" After that, he broke away and ran away. Obviously Already heartbroken.
Xu Chu was furious, seeing his defeated soldiers coming in a steady stream, he suddenly raised the Fire Cloud Sword in his hand, covered his head and face, and cut the young general into two pieces. The defeated soldiers who came in were all frightened. When they looked carefully, it was General Xu Chu who was in front, and they couldn't help but stop. Xu Chu raised the Fire Cloud Sword and said sternly: "Anyone who retreats will be like this general!" After saying that, he swung the knife again and cut down the soldiers who fled in front of him. The bloody Fire Cloud Sword was everywhere, and finally stopped the defeated soldiers slightly.
Xiahou Dun's troops couldn't retreat, so they had to turn around and kill the enemy again. Xu Chu took the lead and brought the fresh troops to the forefront. He saw a white horse among them. The white-robed general's silver spear was flying on the horse. Even the horse and the men were covered in blood. The gun was full of blood. Powerful like an eagle flying. Xu Chu kicked his feet fiercely, sat down on his horse and immediately started to speed up, heading straight towards the white-robed general, shouting: "The enemy generals must stop being so arrogant! A certain Xu Zhongkang is coming!"
The white-robed general's marksmanship stalled, and he swept away the soldiers in front of him. He gently pulled the reins, and the horse's head had already turned over. He chuckled and said, "Is it the tiger-crazy general here?"
When Xu Chu's horse arrived dozens of steps away, he saw that the white-robed general was already prepared. He reined in his horse fiercely and shouted, "Since you know my name as Tiger Chi, you should know how powerful my Fire Cloud Sword is. Why don't you tell me your name?" The sword will not kill the nameless ghost." While he was cursing, he looked carefully and saw the white-robed general with a silver helmet on his head, wearing plain armor, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard. Although his uniform was stained with blood, he still looked energetic. Yiyi. The white horse under him is extremely handsome, with slender legs, thick chest muscles, exploding mane, dilated nostrils, there seems to be tear troughs under the eyes, a white spot grows on the forehead, and a pair of horse eyes are so clear that it makes People look happy.
General Baima heard the words of Hu Chi and laughed loudly and said: "You have the Fire Cloud Sword, and I have the Ying Yang Pecking Spear. If you can fight with the world-famous General Hu Chi, what more can you ask for in this life? I can't do it." Change your name, but not your surname, from Runan Chen to Chen Shuzhi! If you want your General Xiahou, you must first defeat my gun!"
It turned out that General White Horse, who shot down Xiahou Dun with an arrow and seemed to be in a deserted place among thousands of troops, turned out to be Chen Dao, the surrendered general of Wancheng. Chen Dao, courtesy name Shuzhi, was born in Runan, Yuzhou. According to the official history, he was a general of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, and the commander of the white soldiers under Liu Bei's tent. His reputation was often second to that of Zhao Yun, and he was known for his loyalty and bravery. During the Jianxing period of the Shu Han Dynasty, he served as the general of Zhengxi, the governor of Yong'an, and the title of Tinghou.
Since Chen Dao returned to serve under Chen Long, he has been serving as the deputy commander of the army under Zhao Yun in Wancheng. He worked with Ju Shou, Zhang Xiu, Pan Jun and others to train Wancheng's Qinglong Second Mixed Army. This time around the alliance between the Qinglong Army and Sun Ce, Hefei became the focus of competition, and during the battle, Wancheng Zhao Yun's troops were Zhuge Liang's most important troops.
Chen Dao rode alone outside the Erlong Valley. His purpose was to deliver important military information about the secret operations of Zhao Yun's army, and to communicate with Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai during the march. Chen Dao led more than a hundred cavalry southward from the Runan countryside overnight and arrived outside the valley just before dawn. Seeing countless Cao troops attacking the Qinglong army surrounded in the center, Chen Dao, although he did not know the situation, was brave enough to rush into the battle group with a hundred cavalry. Ying Yang pecked at the gun and killed several in and out. Chen Dao was left riding alone. Just when the battle was coming to an end, an arrow shot down Xiahou Dun, who was standing on the boulder like a target. At this moment, countless Qinglong troops have surrounded them. It is Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong's central army who are fighting with the remaining Xiahou Dun army.
The divine war horse that Chen Dao rides is none other than Lu, who is famous all over the world. It seems that Lu Ma was owned by Liu Biao's general Zhang Wu. After Chen Long eliminated Liu Biao's power, Lu fell into Chen Long's hands. Chen Long originally wanted to reward Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun already had his own white dragon horse. It happened that Chen Dao in Wancheng surrendered and returned home. Chen Long was so happy that he gave the Lu to Chen Dao and Chen Shuzhi, who looked very similar to Zhao Yun.
Xu Chu had also heard of Chen Dao's name. He raised the Fire Cloud Knife in his hand and said, "Forget it! Wait until I capture you alive and bring you back to my Xiahou Yuanrang!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Dao's Yingyang pecked at the gun and Lu. It has been activated and is heading straight towards Xu Chu. Just at the moment of lightning, something unexpected happened. A sharp whistle sounded behind Chen Dao, and the air trembled in a spiral. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a rapidly approaching feather arrow. Lu, who was far faster than Lu, went straight to Xu Chu left. Xu Chu's gaze was blocked, and the arrow was as fast as lightning. The posture that he had originally prepared to deal with Chen Dao's spear suddenly went into chaos. The Fire Cloud Sword had no time to block, so he instinctively shrank his neck, only to hear a loud bang. The iron helmet that was picked up was immediately shot into the sky again.
Xu Chu was so frightened that he was frightened for the second time today. Hu Chi no longer had the will to fight in his heart, so he put away his knife, turned the horse's head and ran away. Chen Dao looked at this thrilling scene inexplicably. When he looked back, he saw among the countless cyan armors, an iron-armored veteran with gray hair. He was putting the strong bow in his hand back on his body and raising the red blood knife again. It was Qinglong. Veteran Huang Zhong has arrived.
Xu Chu turned around and ran away. Cao's army was suddenly in chaos. The gong for withdrawing troops rang loudly. The soldiers fled through the valley mouth one after another, trampling and trampling countless of his own soldiers to death. Huang Zhong and Chen Dao then led their troops to cover up the attack, killing countless Cao Jun. They chased Cao Jun's tail into the valley mouth and fought until sunset on the west mountain. Finally, they won a great victory.
Xu Chu's defeated army passed through Erlong Valley, crossed Zhangjiachong, and was defeated until they returned to Cao Cao's camp. Only then did they stabilize their position with Cheng Yu's support. After the armies of Huang Zhong, Xi Zhicai and Chen Dao crossed Zhangjiachong, they camped thirty miles away from Cao's camp. After fighting for a day, both sides temporarily stopped fighting. Huang Zhong, Xi Zhicai and Chen Dao changed into battle clothes and gathered in the Chinese army's tent to discuss the invasion of Hefei. The military doctors under his command had finished bandaging Xiahou Dun, who bled excessively and passed out in the medical tent.
Chen Daozheng was about to inform Xi Zhicai of the movements of Zhao Yun's army, but his subordinates suddenly came to report: "It has been confirmed that our vanguard general, General Wenpin and his son, were captured alive by Cao Cao's army. Now, several special envoys of Cao's army have arrived outside the military camp. , intending to inquire about the whereabouts of Xiahou Dun, and said that he is willing to change the generals before the battle, without harming each other's lives!"
