Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 127 Recapture Jiangxia
"Going to Jiangxia seems simple, but Le Jin is a veteran general of Cao's army. He has been fighting with the army for many years, and his lieutenants are known as heroes.

Cao Mengde once evaluated Le Jin, and his evaluation was rare in the world.

Strong in force, well-planned in strategy, loyal in character, and noble in conduct, he takes the lead in every battle, brave and tenacious, and invincible.

He can lead a partial division alone, or he can command the entire army, comfort the soldiers, maintain strict discipline, make no mistakes, and make decisions when facing the enemy without making mistakes.

If these generals hold the city and defend us, we may not be able to break the city and defeat the enemy overnight.

After I wait for the stalemate in Xiyang County, Yuzhou will definitely send troops to rescue. At that time, whether I can break the city is still in doubt.

Once the war reaches a stalemate and reinforcements from both sides appear, Liu Jingzhou will definitely feel timid. We cannot lose this battle again. "

A few days ago, when Huang Zhong was about to lead his troops into Jiangxia County to join Guan Yu, Liao Li directly stopped him and raised his concerns and suggestions.

In anticipation of a pincer attack on a small county like Xiyang, it would be better to let Guan Yu and Le Jin fight.

If Guan Yu wins, Huang Zhong can take advantage of the momentum to follow Le Jin's defeated army and directly recover other places, but if Guan Yu loses
Then Lejin will definitely suffer heavy losses. In order to ensure a safe future, Yuzhou will definitely send reinforcements into Xiyang and continue to hold on to the stepping stone into Jiangxia County.

And this is Huang Zhong's best opportunity!
After Huang Zhong entered Jiangxia Pingchun from Wancheng, he immediately disappeared from everyone's sight. He stayed day and night and finally entered Luoshan before Guan Yu retreated, and went around between Nabiao County and Xinxi.

While waiting for reinforcements from Yuzhou to appear, Guan Yu and Liu Pan attracted the attention of Le Jin and others, so that no one noticed that Huang Zhong had already arrived.
At this time, Lu Zhao looked at the veteran Huang Zhong who was charging towards him with an excited look on his face, but he did not feel panicked.

"Combine!"

As one of Cao Mengde's generals, Lu Zhao also responded very quickly. His soldiers had followed him for many years and immediately made corresponding actions after hearing the order.

"Knife and shield step forward!"

"Crossbowman, scatter!"

Following Lu Zhao's order, his troops began to fight back quickly, hoping to delay Huang Zhong's charge.

But as a veteran of Jingzhou, who also fought from Nanyang to become a general today, Huang Zhong was naturally not someone who would take it easy. Seeing that the opponent's swordsmen and shieldmen were about to encircle and defend.

Huang Zhong swung his sword to deflect the rain of arrows in front of him, then used his feet as his hands to bend his bow and shoot the arrow at the opponent.

The powerful and heavy arrow immediately penetrated the body of a soldier. The armor on his body could not block the force of the arrow, and he was shot dead by Huang Zhong on the spot.

At the same time, the huge force flew him backwards, causing chaos in the formation. Before Lu Zhao could give his next command, Huang Zhong led his men to rush straight through the gap.

The long sword in his hand is not as powerful and heavy as Guan Yu's, but he is very experienced and ruthless. He swings it left and right quickly to open up the gap for the soldiers behind him, allowing a large number of soldiers to rush in directly.

Liao Li at the rear also seized the opportunity and put all his troops forward. The army rushed forward and quickly tore apart Luzhao's hasty military formation.

"Falled into a trap and retreated!"

When Lu Zhao saw the newly arrived deputy general He Mao being killed by Huang Zhong with a single sword, he knew that the situation was over and immediately ordered the army to start fighting and then retreat.

At the same time, abandon all sword and shield players, and be sure to ensure the safe evacuation of the crossbowmen.

Lu Zhao knew that he was not Huang Zhong's opponent, and he was determined not to fight him. He kept sending troops to delay and bully Huang Zhong.

At the same time, he saw that Huang Zhong was also a good horse, and the crossbow behind him should not be underestimated. He immediately abandoned his own soldiers and asked them to come forward to entangle the veteran Huang Zhong.

Don't let him break out of the encirclement, let alone give him a chance to shoot himself.

Under this kind of offensive entanglement, Lu Zhao successfully protected the crossbowman in an ambush and successfully retreated to Yuzhou, but the result was that his own soldiers were killed and injured, and thousands of soldiers under his command were also killed. There were thousands of people captured.

In this battle, Huang Zhong and Liao Li won a great victory. With this prestige, he directly marched into Bi County, forced the troops and horses of Bi County to land, and then used the troops of Bi County and Huang Zhong to attack Lejin in Xiyang City.

At the same time, Liao Li personally led some soldiers and light soldiers to rush around to the south of Xiyang County, bluffing and playing the banners of Guan Yu and Liu Pan.

At the same time, the news of Lu Zhao's defeat also reached the ears of Le Jin in Xiyang County, which made him frown.

This series of actions by Liao Li immediately gave Le Jin and his soldiers the illusion that Guan Yu wanted to encircle the area for reinforcements, forcing Yuzhou Luzhao to lead the reinforcements into Jiangxia, and then ambush them.In the end, he surrounded himself and avenged Lu Jie.
"General."

"Brothers, get ready and follow me to break through tonight!" Le Jin didn't say much. Now that the fight has reached the point where Xiyang County is no longer defended, it no longer makes sense.

It doesn't matter if you risk your life for Xiyang County. What matters is that you can no longer be a drag on the road, otherwise soldiers and horses from Yuzhou will continue to appear in Jiangxia.

At that time, even Yuzhou might be in danger.

Le Jin thought he had made the most correct choice, so he led his soldiers and horses to evacuate that night, and before leaving, he set fire to all the food, grass and luggage in Xiyang County.

In addition, the fire spread to the streets and houses in Xiyang County, forcing the soldiers and horses outside to give up chasing and killing the encirclement, rescue the local people first, and put out the fire.

Le Jin was provided with ample opportunities and time to evacuate.

However, Liao Li didn't say much about Le Jin's escape. He just looked at the slowly extinguishing flames, and his face became a little solemn.

"This battle can be considered to be somewhat familiar with Cao Mengde, and his strength really cannot be underestimated.

Le Jin still has a reputation for being brave, but recruiting an ordinary veteran with so much experience will probably not be easy on the battlefield behind this."

Liao Li has clearly seen the gap between the two sides. The most elite ones under their command are the Jiangxia soldiers and horses in Guan Yu's hands.

Whether it is battlefield experience or the armor and weapons on their bodies, they are the strongest in their hands.

But compared with Cao Jun, he is just mediocre.

The morale of the two sides was not at the same level. Liao Li had already found out clearly from the previous battle why Le Jin was able to block Guan Yu and repel him.

To put it simply, the morale of his subordinates has reached an alarming level.

The soldiers dared to trade their lives for one without dying, and did not flinch even after losing more than half of their lives, even to the point where the greater the casualties, the higher the morale.

The only ones who can do this are Sun Wentai, who succeeded in the Northern Expedition, and Qin Hanzu, who swept the world.

"He is indeed a general who was the first to become a dead soldier. How many such people are there in Cao Ying?"

　Climbing the camp first has never been Yuan Shao's special unit. It is a unit that all powerful princes have.

　　Climbing first, to put it bluntly, is the daredevil who rushes to the front. This kind of people never care whether it is a downwind or a headwind situation in a battle. The moment they go up, they have no hope that they can survive.

　　If you survive, fine, continue next time until you are dead.

　　Of course, entering the camp first is not without its shortcomings, that is, it cannot be used all the time, and it may disappear if you use it.

　　Not everyone can do that stuff. Looking at classmate Qin Wuyang, he is obviously a disqualified dead soldier.

　　Historically, Le Jin obviously failed after the Qingni Pass. I feel that the main reason is that the soldiers in his hands are almost exhausted.

　　In the later period, the number of battlefields could not keep up, and the quality of soldiers would naturally not be able to keep up.

　　After all, Cao Cao's battle in the early stage was quite capable. After the number of battlefields decreased significantly in the later stage, many soldiers and horses could not keep up.

　　For example, the Tiger and Leopard Camp, Lao Liu's White-Er Soldiers, Sun Quan's Jie Fan Army, etc.

　　Disappearing in the later period may not be a conspiracy, don't be so dark.

　　Just like the style of play in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms, those who survived more than a dozen battles are still elites. If hundreds or thousands of people are selected from them and trained systematically, they will be the real elites.

　　But after the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, the battlefields mostly broke out in local areas, and the fighting was far inferior to the situation before where they had to flee at every turn or the coach might not be finished.

　　It is normal for the supply of troops to be unable to keep up.

　　Okay, this is Chapter 3, let me continue
