As Sun Shao beat the drum in person, the two armies were in close combat. Even though the five thousand Bai'er soldiers were majestic and mighty, they were still facing Sun Shao's personal soldiers. Although they were not as powerful as if they dared to fight, they still had good combat power. Just listen to On the Yiyang Plain, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the ground was stained with blood.
Not long after, Sun Shao's army could no longer hold up, but they still had no intention of retreating. Li Xian also realized this. He immediately took out the bow and arrow from his waist and pointed it at Sun Shao who was beating the drum. However, he found that the distance was still not enough, so he had to put down the bow and arrow again.
"Captain, I'm holding it all in, when can I fight?" Xu Zhi impatiently rubbed his hands next to Li Xian.
"Wait a minute." Li Xian frowned, "Why hasn't Lu Xun shown up yet? Isn't he in Changsha?"
While Li Xian was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone in Sun Shao's army shouting that reinforcements had arrived. Then he followed the sound and saw that a large flag with the word "Lu" and a large banner of Jiangling Marquis were coming from behind, followed by an endless stretch of troops. The army of Wu State.
"Li Xian! It's your time to die! Your burial place is under Changsha City!" Sun Shao suddenly laughed and shouted.
"Xu Zhi! The fighter plane has appeared! Detour from the flanks, remember to focus on harassment by cavalry and shooting. Once the Wu army encircles them, get rid of them immediately!" Li Xian waved his general's flag to signal Xu Zhi to charge into the formation.
After receiving the order, Xu Zhi was like a wild horse running wild, galloping out in an instant and immediately outflanked the Wu army.
"Formation!" Xu Zhi shouted angrily. In an instant, thousands of cavalry archers immediately formed a very traditional circular formation. They raised their hands and fired. Arrows rained down, straight at Lu Xun's front army.
However, they saw that the young general of Lu Xun's former army was not in a hurry. Instead, he waved his general's flag and formed a shield formation, which temporarily protected Sun Shao's former army. The huge rain of arrows was resolved in just a moment.
"Commanders! Listen to my order! Charge!" Li Xian greeted, and the heavy armored cavalry all shouted to kill. After all, they had witnessed the lethality of these heavy cavalry themselves, and knew what they would look like once they charged. In an instant, These cavalrymen were like fierce tigers coming out of the mountain, heading straight towards the Wu army's shield formation.
But when they heard the sound of dispersing, the shield formation immediately opened up and formed a phalanx to resist the horses. The spearmen behind them also immediately stepped forward to set up the formation.
Li Xian saw that something was not good, and knew in his heart that the heavy cavalry's attack was too fierce. It was too late to brake at this moment, so he continued to charge forward without hesitation.
Chen Dao was the first to react and immediately shouted: "Gong Jie! You damn arrow!"
Hearing this, Gong Jie immediately signaled the divine arm archers to start firing arrows, and the spearmen at the front immediately dispersed, leaving a long gap in the formation.
Li Xian also signaled these heavy riders to turn immediately when they reached the gap, and instead continued to cut to the right...
"Send my order to the general! The entire army must return to Changsha!" Lu Xun suddenly ordered.
"Commander, why are we retreating at this time! If we retreat at this time, our army's morale will be greatly damaged, so how can we fight again!" Ding Feng, who was commanding the shield formation in front, said in confusion.
"I have a clever plan, let's see how I defeat the enemy!" Lu Xun said coldly, "If Li Xian comes, let him experience the defeat of Yiling again!"
"Yes! Follow the command of the Commander-in-Chief!" Ding Feng lowered his head after hearing this, then turned around, raised his spear, and shouted sternly: "Generals, listen to the order, change formations, the front team becomes the rear team, and return to Changsha!"
.....
In Li Xian's army formation, Li Xian's faceplate was already stained with blood. At this moment, he raised his faceplate and looked in the direction in which Lu Xun was retreating. He raised his spear and signaled the general who was about to pursue him to stop.
"Captain! Then Lu Xun retreated, why didn't he pursue him?" Xu asked.
"Lu Xun's troops are several times larger than ours. This retreat must be a fraud and cannot be pursued." Li Xianyan said.
Chen Dao stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Captain, if Lu Xun retreats to Changsha and refuses to defend the city along the Xiangjiang River, and General He Qi Wang Wei cuts off our army's retreat, how can our army break the situation?"
"They can't stop it." Li Xian suddenly looked up to the sky and said confidently.
"Could it be that the governor has a clever plan?" Chen Dao asked, also confused.
"This Commander-in-Chief wants to break through Changsha before they cut off our army's retreat!" Li Xian suddenly pointed his gun straight ahead and ordered: "Tonight, the entire army will set off the Kongming Lanterns. Generals Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong will obey the order!"
"The general is here!" The two of them said in unison.
"The two of you will use the wolf soldiers as cover. One of you will follow the Kongming Lantern directly to the Changsha City. The other will take out all the gunpowder from the baggage. Remember, place all the gunpowder under the Changsha City and light it tonight. This battle must be successful."
"The last general takes command!"
"Xu Zhi, your handsome bow cavalry is attacking the rear of Lu Xun's army. Remember to give him the illusion that our army is continuing to pursue. You must pay attention to your own safety!"
"Yes!" Xu Zhi said with cupped hands.
"Captain, I want to set off gunpowder." Fu Qian suddenly stood up and spoke.
Li Xian looked at Fu Qian intently, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Okay, then you can go with General Zhao Guang, and remember not to act without authorization."
"Yes! Follow the orders of the Commander-in-Chief!"
.......
That night.
Changsha County Sheriff's Office.
"Commander, why did you retreat first during the hard battle during the day?" Sun Shao stepped forward and asked. But they saw that Lu Xun was still motionless, just looking at the bamboo slip in his hand quietly by the candlelight in the governor's house, his expression still as usual.
Lu Xun then responded calmly: "General Sun, don't worry. Li Xian has come all the way. Our army only needs to send troops from Wuling and Guiyang to cut off his food route and return route, no matter how loud he screams here. , it’s just a turtle in a urn, so what.”
Ding Feng said in the preface: "Captain, if Li Xian ignores Li Xian and rushes straight to Changsha, what should we do?"
Lu Xun suddenly frowned, clasped the bamboo slips in his hands tightly, and said lightly: "Then this Xiangjiang River is where he was buried."
"Report! General Ling Tong is here!"
The generals were relieved. It turned out that Ling Tong had already received an order from General Lu Xun. If Li Xian could not afford to attack Jiangling, he would immediately lead his troops back to Changsha and block Li Xian along the Xiangjiang River.
"Understood." Lu Xun continued to look at Sun Shao.
Sun Shao then raised his hand and said: "The governor has great fortune, I will admire him."
"Report! Governor! Suddenly there are many sky lanterns flying towards us in the west of Changsha City."
Ding Fengzheng was about to get up and check, but he still heard Lu Xun say slowly: "General Ding, there is no need to look, it is just a waste of energy."
"Why?"
"What role can so many sky lanterns play? They are just to attract the attention of our army. On the contrary, I think what we really need to pay attention to is the city defense in the other directions." Lu Xun almost stretched himself, taking his time. Di said, "Strengthen the city defense and pay attention to the enemy's movements tonight. I am tired and going to sleep."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I will be waiting for you to leave." Ling Tong and his generals cupped their hands and were about to retreat.
At the foot of Changsha City, a group of wolf warriors were shouting and cursing at the foot of the city. The soldiers at the top of the city were also yelling at each other. The west gate suddenly became noisy, attracting many Wu troops.
"There are all civilians under this city, why don't we let us go to war!" The soldiers who were tired of being scolded at the city wanted to go down to the city immediately and put these noisy civilians into silent mode, and everyone was gearing up.
On the other side, under the night, Fu Qian and Zhao Guang quietly transported the gunpowder packets to the city, only to find that the city was always heavily guarded and difficult to succeed.
"General, what should we do?" Fu Qian asked.
"You ask me? What am I asking you?" Zhao Guang said helplessly. He didn't even know why the Kongming Lantern in the west would strengthen the city defense in the east.
"General, don't hesitate. If we fail to blow up the city today, our army will become a lone army deep into Jingnan. You have to think about it!" Fu Qian also whispered to Zhao Guang.
"Of course I know, but how come this is so close!"
Suddenly, Zhao Guang felt his shoulders tighten, and when he looked again, he saw a burly man putting a hand on his shoulder and saying, "General, I have a way."
"any solution?"
"General, don't worry about anything. I only know that my brother died in their hands, but you have to avenge me and my brother!" The big man suddenly said.
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Guang frowned and asked.
"General, leave it alone and tie the gunpowder to my body!" Seeing Zhao Guang's hesitant expression, the big man did not answer. Instead, he wrapped the gunpowder around his body. Following his body shape, he was able to wrap up the ten pieces of gunpowder they brought. of gunpowder.
Zhao Guang's eyes suddenly became moist. He patted the big man on the shoulder and asked weakly: "Good boy, do you have any other wishes? Tell me and I will help you!"
"I have no other wish. I still have a baby at home, and it doesn't count as the death of our Liu family. I just want him to grow up healthy, and..."
"What else? You said, I will definitely do it." Zhao Guang seemed to have started to look up, but the tears that he could no longer hold back fell down his cheeks.
"I want to eat...a piece of meat, General, can..."
"Serve meat and wine! Let's go to General Liu!" Zhao Guang gave the order, and suddenly hundreds of soldiers came forward in an instant. They all raised their hands and said, "General! We are also willing to go!"
"You...you..." Zhao Guang was a little surprised for a moment.
And the military camp also started talking to each other instantly...
"I escaped from Jingzhou. I owe my life to General Guan. I will pay it back now!"
"I was saved by General Fu Xu. After he stops, we will have no way to survive. We don't owe General Fu Xu any more!"
"I want to avenge my father! It's worth it if I can blow up Changsha today!"
...
Not only Zhao Guang, but also Fu Wei, all the soldiers in the battalion shed tears, but hugged each other to say goodbye.
"Serve the strong men with wine and meat!" Zhao Guang gave the order, and all the soldiers shared the wine and meat together, like a wind blowing through the clouds.
"Liu Laosan, the big man will remember you. As long as there is a fire under the city of Changsha, you will knock on the rising sun of the big man's rejuvenation! I... I will..." Zhao Guang choked up again. He got up, but was stopped by Liu Laosan. Instead, Liu Laosan said with a smile: "General, my mother said, a big man can't shed tears!"
"Good boy!" Zhao Guang hugged Liu Laosan and let go after a long time.
"Generals, listen to the order and pretend to attack the north gate! Buy Liu Laosan and the others some time!" Zhao Guang pulled out the long sword in his hand and ordered with a serious cry!
