Zhuge Liang guessed correctly that Xu Shiji would not let Yuchi Jiong's reinforcements arrive easily.
Xu Shiji had already set up an ambush on Yuchi Jiong's way to Yiling. When Yuchi Jiong passed by, thousands of arrows were fired, catching Yuchi Jiong off guard.
Yu Chijiong is also a famous general. When ambushing in the middle, he will definitely be cautious about ambush and other things, and will never let down his vigilance.
However, Xu Shiji's ambush was very cunning, and the distance was quite good.
Logically speaking, even if Xu Shiji wanted to set up an ambush, he would definitely have to stay within a certain distance from Jiangling. Otherwise, once the distance reaches this range, the soldiers and horses in Jiangling City can rush to support in a short time, and this ambush will lose its due significance.
The location chosen by Xu Shiji was stuck at this distance but not yet. It was precisely when Yuchijiong did not raise his vigilance to the highest level, and there was naturally negligence.
At the critical moment, Zhuge Liang's backhand appeared, and Shi Hongzhao led eight hundred elite cavalry to charge out. Not only did he resolve Yuchi's crisis, he even caught the enemy by surprise, causing heavy losses and preventing him from escaping in haste.
However, a great battle had ended and their enemy's enemies had just been driven back. Yuchi Jiong and the others would inevitably relax their vigilance at this time.
It was at such a critical moment that Shu army general Zhao Chongguo led his troops to attack. This time, it was Yu Chijiong and Shi Hongzhao who should have been caught off guard and fled in panic.
In the end, of the 3,800 people in front and behind, only half of them ran out.
Even general Xun Wu was forgotten when he broke through.
Xun Wu was a famous general in the Jin Kingdom in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He was a man of literary and military ability. He could not only lead troops to fight, but also govern the local area. It is a pity that such a talent fell in this battle.
Moreover, among these, Xun Wu's identity was also implanted quite well, and was implanted into the Xun family in Yingchuan. Although the Xun family is one of the representatives who are good at multi-line investments, as Li Xiang continues to become stronger, the Xun family's investments must have become more focused.
Today, the Xun family still occupies an important position under Li Xiang. Although Xun Yu had some gaps with Li Xiang due to some issues, there are still several people in high positions, and there are even more people from the Xun family below who hold various official positions!
If everything develops to this point, it seems that in the duel between Zhuge Liang and Xu Shiji, Xu Shiji won first.
However, things are not over so quickly!
On the way back to Zhao Chongguo, he was once again ambushed by Zhuge Liang. After the same victory, he relaxed his vigilance and was caught off guard, but the protagonists of the two sides exchanged.
However, Xu Shiji seemed to have foreseen this, and had already captured a team of people to respond.
Zhuge Liang failed to ambush and was forced to retreat.
In the darkness, with the help of a ray of fire, although Zhao Chongguo could not see clearly, he could vaguely see Zhuge Liang's general flag.
Although he felt that something was wrong, as Zhuge Liang was the governor of Nanjun, if he could be killed, Jiangling would be leaderless, which would definitely be of great benefit to their subsequent war, so much so that they temporarily forgot that Xu Shiji had just given up on him. Order.
Moreover, Zhuge Liang and the others were indeed in a rout now. After this temptation, Zhao Chongguo gritted his teeth and led three thousand men to pursue them.
However, there is a lot of water in the south, and Jingzhou is no exception. When they chased a river, Zhao Chongguo fell into Zhuge Liang's water attack plan, and three thousand men and horses were swept away.
Zhao Chongguo, a general of the Shu army, initially resisted the Xiang clan and even fought against Xiang Yan. He was also present when he conquered the Southern Barbarians. Later, he destroyed Xiang Yu and fought for Jiaozhou with Zhu Yuanzhang. During the battle, this was also a major general.
But even for such a general who has experienced hundreds of battles, it is inevitable that the general will die in the end. The hero who has returned home after ten years will be washed away by a flood. He finally escaped alive, but he was already exhausted. Yu Wenxian, who had been recuperating for a long time, was caught in the act, but he died tragically under Yu Wenxian's horse.
As a hero of the Qilin Pavilion during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Chongguo was definitely one of the most dazzling figures in the entire era, and he also reached a peerless level in command.
However, in the end, it was still no match for the tide of the world. From then on, the curtain fell on the big chessboard of the world.
After all, Xu Shiji and Zhuge Liang are both men who can be ranked among the top ten military strategists. Although Xu Shiji is more outstanding than Zhuge Liang in terms of commanding, Zhuge Liang is more than able to make up for this gap in resourcefulness.
Therefore, the fight between these two people is quite exciting. Even if one of them can take advantage of the other, it may not be possible to take advantage easily! The two of them win or lose each other!
"Old General Zhao!"
When Zhao Chongguo's body was brought back, Xu Shiji seemed to be unable to help crying.
Although it was a battlefield in troubled times, both sides did everything they could to win.
However, except for a very few individuals, the vast majority of people are unwilling to continue humiliating the opponent's body after the opponent dies in battle, unless necessary, and will even help the opponent restrain the body.
This is true in many cases even when there is deep hatred between the two parties! After understanding life and death on the battlefield, no matter how great the hatred is, it is basically over. Most people will not do more things without a bottom line!
Therefore, when the Shu army arrived, Zhao Chongguo's body was neatly packed there.
And Xu Shiji's crying aroused the emotions of the generals in the army.
Zhao Chongguo can be said to be the most senior general among Liu Che. He was born with Liu Che and is much older than Xu Shiji.
Among the generals present, many of them had stayed under Zhao Chongguo for a period of time. Many of them had even received some favors from the old general and were promoted by him. Give them a chance to show off their talents.
Zhao Chongguo's body is lying here now, and Xu Shiji is taking the initiative to exaggerate the atmosphere here. How can these people not be touched in their hearts?
"I, the son of Shu, swear to avenge this!"
I don’t know who could not help but take the lead in shouting first. Soon, the roars started one after another!
"I, the son of Shu, swear to avenge this!"
"I, the son of Shu, swear to avenge this!"
"I, the son of Shu, swear to avenge this!"
