Chapter 927 Play Hard to Get

Huang Zhong and Tai Shici fought equally, but the soldiers under their command were not evenly matched. The Jingzhou soldiers under Huang Zhong's command numbered five thousand, while the Jiangdong Army only had three thousand. There was a huge difference between the two armies. Nearly doubled, now that Taishi Ci's idea of ​​an ambush had been shattered, the Jiangdong Army had no choice but to confront the Jingzhou Army head-on.

"kill!"

However, the gap in numbers was irreparable. Because of the larger number, the 5,000 Jingzhou soldiers gradually gained the upper hand and surrounded the 3,000 Jiangdong soldiers.

"ah!"

Two soldiers kept screaming and falling to the ground, but the majority of them were from the Jiangdong Army. After all, they did not have the numerical advantage.

Seeing the increasing number of casualties of his own army, Taishi Ci couldn't help but frown and became confused.

when!

Huang Zhong seized the opportunity and swept out a sharp sword light, almost slicing Tai Shici's shoulder.

"You little thief Taishi, you dare to be distracted in front of me. Are you living impatiently?" Huang Zhong said coldly.

"snort!"

After almost being cut, Taishi Ci had to cheer up and fight Huang Zhong. He must not be negligent when fighting against a fierce general like Huang Zhong, otherwise he may be injured or even killed.

However, Jiangdong Army was increasingly at a disadvantage. Seeing that its morale was getting lower and lower, a high-pitched horn sound suddenly sounded, and a group of army horses suddenly came from the northeast. There were about two thousand people, holding a gun. The word "general flag" is written around the pole.

"The Governor is here!"

"The Governor has arrived. The soldiers are fighting bravely!"

Zhou Yu saw that Jiangdong Army was besieged by 5,000 Jingzhou Army and was in an unfavorable situation. He immediately ordered 2,000 Jiangdong Army to join the battle and urgently reinforce Taishi Ci.

Taishi Ci's tribe, which was originally in a bitter battle, saw that the governor Zhou Yu personally led his troops to help. Naturally, their morale was greatly boosted. They cheered up their morale and fought with the Jingzhou soldiers.

With the arrival of reinforcements led by Zhou Yu, Jiangdong's army not only equaled the Jingzhou soldiers in number, but also greatly increased their morale, and even gradually overwhelmed the Jingzhou soldiers.

But at this moment, Zhou Yu ordered: "The whole army opens a gap and lets the Jingzhou army pass!"

"What?" When Taishi Ci, who was fighting Huang Zhong in a bloody battle, heard this order, he was immediately puzzled. Obviously our army already had an advantage in numbers. As long as we persisted, we would definitely defeat Huang Zhong. Why did we let Huang Zhong go instead? Loyal?

Although he was greatly puzzled, Tai Shici did not dare to disobey Zhou Yu's order, so he had to make a false shot: "Old Huang Zhong, there is no winner today, you and I will fight again tomorrow!"

"snort!"

Huang Zhong shouted: "Soldiers, hurry up! Charge to Quanling City!"

Since Jiangdong Army took the initiative to open a gap, Huang Zhong naturally seized this opportunity and led more than 4,000 Jingzhou soldiers to rush out of the gap and charge towards Quanling City.

"Grand Governor!"

Taishi Cili rushed to Zhou Yu's side and said dissatisfied: "Grand Governor, our army already has the advantage, why should we let Huang Zhong go?"

"Ziyi, our army must not only win this battle, but also win a great victory. We cannot lose too many soldiers, otherwise we will not be able to deal with Gao Chong's enemy army."

Zhou Yu said earnestly: "If our army is determined to fight to the death, it may not be impossible to defeat Huang Zhong's troops, but our army will definitely lose thousands of soldiers, which is totally not worth the loss."

"If Huang Zhong is released on his own initiative, he will definitely lead his army to rescue Liu Pan, and then our army will take advantage of the situation to rush forward and block the enemy army. In this way, Huang Zhong will not only rescue Liu Pan, but also have to entangle with our army. Even if Even if we have three heads and six arms, we can't do it, so wouldn't our army be able to achieve great results with its small strength?"

"So that's the case. The general is reckless, but the governor is wise."

After listening to Zhou Yu's explanation, Taishi Ci suddenly became enlightened and understood.

"Ziyi, please quickly send someone to inform Zihuang and ask him to find a way to delay Huang Zhong for a while, and our army will set off immediately." Zhou Yu said to Taishi Ci.

"Here!"

Taishi Ci immediately sent light cavalry to detect the sentry, and at the same time rectified the army and horses, heading towards the east gate.

"Quan Sima, the Commander-in-Chief has an order. Later, enemy troops will come to rescue Liu Pan. The Commander-in-Chief has led his troops to follow him, and orders Quan Sima to find ways to delay the enemy at all costs and not to let Liu Pan go. Tan Shao said loudly.

"I see."

Quan Cong shouted to his soldiers: "Quick! Take out the horses and deer antlers to prevent the enemy!"

"Here!"

Two thousand Jiangdong troops hurriedly made arrangements, placing antlers, horse-fighting and other items in front of the formation. The so-called horse-fighting gun means organizing more than ten long spears in one place and placing them inside and outside. Once they pounce on them, Naturally, the spear head will be pierced into it, which can limit the enemy's attack speed.

Quan Cong's side had just been set up when he heard the sound of footsteps. He looked up and saw under a yellow flag, a veteran general who was getting stronger and stronger, charging at him with a horse and a sword in his hand. The mouth knife shines brightly.

"The entire army is on alert to intercept the enemy!"

At this time, Quan Cong suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, the governor left an extra thousand men and horses for him before leaving. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to stop the enemy with just his own troops and horses.

Whoosh whoosh!

More than 4,000 Jingzhou troops had just approached, and the two thousand Jiangdong troops naturally didn't say anything, and a hail of arrows rained down on their heads and faces.

Poof!

The arrow penetrated the armor and penetrated the flesh. More than a hundred Jingzhou soldiers suddenly fell to the ground. The Jiangdong Army was divided into two groups. The first wave just fired a rain of arrows and immediately retreated, while the second wave of Jiangdong Army archers behind them stepped forward and fired another round of arrows.

Dang Dang Dang!

The Jingzhou soldiers once again suffered more than a hundred casualties, and screams continued, but Huang Zhong was unable to splash the water he wielded with a wind-mouthed knife, and the arrows fired at him were cut away by the airtight light of the knife.

Tap tap tap!

The war horse under his crotch galloped forward with all its strength. Huang Zhong clenched the sword shaft with both hands, roared, and his gray beard trembled.

"Hey!"

I saw the Fengzui knife inserted into the horse-rejecting gun. Huang Zhong used his arms with great strength and thrust the long knife upwards. He lifted the horse-rejecting gun directly into the air, and then threw it outwards, forming a formation composed of antlers and horse-rejecting guns. Suddenly a gap appeared.

"Children from Jiangdong, do you recognize Huang Hansheng in Nanyang?"

Huang Zhong's first drink was like a thunderbolt in mid-air. Seeing how brave he was, Jiangdong's soldiers were immediately frightened. Huang Zhong rode his horse and charged over fiercely. The surrounding Jiangdong soldiers were so frightened that they did not dare to fight him and turned around and ran away.

"Damn it, whoever retreats will be killed!"

Quan Cong was furious when he saw this. Without saying a word, he personally killed a Jiangdong soldier who was running away. Then he turned his head and rushed forward to stop the old and strong General Huang.
