Chapter 328

A hundred thousand people are less than 30 thousand, no matter what, this is an advantage that cannot be ignored.

The dark crowds of people could not see the end of the formation from beginning to end, flags fluttered, swords and guns covered the sky and the sun. Looking at his neatly occupying a huge team between the world, Cai Mao couldn't help but become ambitious.

As long as you defeat the Sun family, and promote the alliance with Cao Cao in the north, and the implementation of your sister's plan, will the entire Jingzhou be firmly grasped in your own hands?

The Jiangdong Army, which seemed vulnerable in front of him, was simply made of paper in the eyes of Cai Mao, who was already energetic. As long as he opened his mouth and the entire army charged forward, he would probably be wiped out?

Cai Mao led the central army, two clan brothers Cai Zhong, Cai He led the left and right army respectively, and his nephew Zhang Yun led the rear army just in case.

"Send the order to lead the left and right troops to attack!"

The drums were loud, and the rows of drums in the central army were beaten by the shirtless man with a heavy waist, making a dull loud noise like thunder. More than a dozen messengers rode horses and held flags representing the attack, whistling horns in their mouths, galloping back and forth on both wings.

With the order to advance, the left and right armies moved slowly like two giant beasts that had been dormant for a long time.

The cavalry is in front and the infantry is trotting behind, and then there is a mixed camp composed of archers, swords, shields, and spearmen. Although Jiangxia City is south of the Yangtze River, it is surrounded by water on three sides, and there are not many terrains suitable for advancement. If Cai Mao's army gains power, then the Jiangdong army will be destroyed except retreating from the east.

The Jiang army, who seemed to be trembling, did not sit and wait for death. They soon faced Cai Zhong and Cai He from two teams, one left and one right, respectively. The rest continued to keep alert to prevent Jiangxia City from sending troops at this time and attacking inside and outside to make dumplings for Jiangdong Army.

Leading the troops were Jiang Qin and Huang Gai.

Huang Gai personally experienced the three generations of Jiangdong. He was negligent to the Sun family. He had long been determined to avenge Sun Jian's tragic death and attacked Cai Mao's left wing with more than 8,000 people, without taking the other party's 20,000 people seriously.

Jiang Qin was not willing to be outdone, and personally took the lead and led the right-wing troops into Cai He's troops. The two armies collided like two waves of surging waves.

Although the Jiangdong Army was brave, the number of people was small; while the Cai Mao Army was weak, the number of people was much larger. Cai Zhong and Cai He all knew it themselves and knew that they were not brave generals who could charge into the battlefield. So they were all commanding behind the formation. After gradually resisting the first wave of the Jiangdong Army's offensive, they began to slowly encircle and erode the Jiangdong Army, and the situation slowly tilted towards Cai Mao's army.

Although the Sun family in Jiangdong was developing rapidly and had many good generals, their foundation was not comparable to the wealthy Jingzhou. The two sides had been fighting continuously, but they did not get much advantage. Jiangdong had few people and vast land, but Jingzhou had sufficient logistical support. Therefore, Liu Biao never regarded the Sun family as a confidant.

Besides, Sun Ce, who was most afraid of Liu Biao, died. Before Mao could grow up, he was yelling at Sun Quan, who was yelling at revenge. How could such a big deal happen?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Pu hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the troops. At this time, the Jiangdong Army's formation became faster. Jiang Qin and Huang Gai surrounded him and rushed out of a bloody way and led his men to run away.

Cai Mao was in power and took the opportunity to occupy Jiangdong camp. When he saw that there were still some food and supplies that were too late to move away.

The retreating Jiangdong Army had no intention of retreating, and set up another camp fifty miles away from Cai Mao's army. It seemed that they were not very convinced.

"Do you dare to be a chariot with such military strength?" Cai Mao looked at Jiangdong Army from afar as he cut down trees and built camps from afar, sneering in his heart.

Originally, Cai Mao was about to accept Huang Zu's gratitude, but after all, he led his army to help. Who knew that any general came to tell him that Huang Zu was sick and could not come. This made Cai Mao, who was ready to show off in front of Huang Zu, really feel a little angry.

"Today's victory, continue to advance troops in the future, and completely drive the Sun family's children out of Jiangxia!"

At night, Cai Mao drank with the generals in the commander's tent to discuss his merits, and made a fuss.

The few people who came were either relatives or confidants, and they had no scruples during their conversation.

"Brother Degui, beware of fraud. Although it is not a strange thing to win today, why did the Jiangdong Army not return to another camp when we see that our army has arrived? Could it be that there is another plan?"

However, Zhang Yun was not overwhelmed by victory and raised his own doubts.

"Derong is too worried. It is expected that Sun Quan's son is dissatisfied, so he must take Jiang Xia. Besides, he expects that more than 20,000 people will be sold for a while today. How can he be the opponent of my 100,000 army? Come on, drink this cup!"

Cai Zhong and Cai He naturally would not defeat Cai Mao's enthusiasm, and began to praise him. He said that the clown in Jiangdong was so happy that he was his brother's opponent. He became more and more despised by Jiangdong Army.

I expected that the Jiangdong Army would come to cause some trouble at night for a while, but who knew it was calm and had a good sleep all night. When the personal soldiers reported that the Jiangdong Army was drowning, Cai Mao was still sleeping soundly.

It was also a majestic army that could not be easily shaken, and it was also a weak Jiangdong army. Cai Mao rubbed his sleepy eyes and straightened his helmet, which was a tiger helmet with a huge mouth, which looked quite majestic.

"Send the army, advance..."

I have no confidence in speaking. I don’t know if I don’t sleep well enough, or I feel that today’s battle is like yesterday, which makes people feel inspiring.

Cai Zhong and Cai He's left and right troops attacked at the same time, while the Jiangdong army was also Huang Gai and Jiang Qin, who led the army to fight each other.

Cai Mao was too lazy to see the battle situation in front of the formation. If nothing unexpected happens, it will only take a quarter of an hour to defeat the Jiangdong Army.

It's just a matter of time...

Cai Mao thought happily in his heart that he would defeat the Jiangdong Army and his position in Jingzhou would rise to a higher level. He would delay it for another two years. When his nephew was born, the whole Jingzhou would...

He was thinking in his heart. It took him a lot of time to move his mind to reality and asked the deputy general: "Have the war gone through for a long time?"

"It's been about half an hour."

Half an hour!

Cai Mao then felt something was wrong. With the combat power of the Jiangdong Army yesterday, it was already half an hour to take it down.

When I looked up, I realized that although the number of Jiangdong Army was as small as yesterday, there were generals coming out together. Some veteran generals Zu Mao, Han Dang and others all took the battle. Among the central army, only Cheng Puji's son Cheng Zi was the only one!

Why, do you have to fight against yourself with just a little military strength?

Cai Mao then felt relieved. It turned out that the Jiangdong Army could delay for so long because all the generals were taken over. But even so, the one who won over time would still be his side!

The situation of the Jiangdong Army was indeed not good. Although a group of veterans joined forces and barely resisted the Cai Mao Army's attack on the sea of ​​people, after all, two fists could not match four hands, and the one who was defeated later would still be his own side!

In the central army, with only about 2,000 people, Cheng Pu and his son Cheng Zi were not concerned about the battle situation at all, but they looked at the south from afar, as if waiting for something...

The waiting people are coming!

On the calm lake, a fleet quietly emerged at some point. Each ship was erected with a large flag forming a huge diamond shape. In the middle, a large "Zhou" red-bottomed golden flag was flying!

Zhou Yu's troops!

No one needs to clamor or publicity. Cai Maojun, who is fighting for the initiative in the war with the Jiangdong Army, was panicked at the same time. No one thinks that the troops that appeared secretly beside him are just passing by and making soy sauce!

Cai Mao suddenly realized from his state of wandering around the sky. His current location was exactly the east of Jiangxia City. Behind him was Jiangxia City, with water to the south and north, and Cheng Pu's troops in the Jiangdong Army who fought to the death. At this time, Zhou Yu led his army to appear from the south...

Yesterday's victory was a complete conspiracy, in order to lure oneself into this extremely unfavorable retreat terrain. It is obvious that the planner of this conspiracy was not only Jiangxia City, but also his own army of 100,000!

Cai Mao, who was in desperate situation, became as excited as if he had taken stimulants. He immediately ordered Zhang Yun's rear to quickly prevent Zhou Yu's troops from coming ashore to reinforce, and must block them on the water, and he would spare no matter how much the cost!

But what puzzled Cai Mao was that Zhou Yu's troops seemed to have no preparation to get ashore immediately. There were only a dozen ships docked, hundreds of soldiers coming up one after another, and they arranged in a calm manner to move something from the ship. They did not take Zhang Yun's troops' actions of holding up swords and guns and shouting loudly!

what the hell?

Could it be... Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu also had a grudge, and deliberately used his own hands to get rid of him? Just like between himself and Huang Zu?

The answer was soon revealed.

The 800 soldiers put on a set of shiny armor under Zhang Yun's nose. Although the workmanship is simple, Cai Mao had a general bad premonition. Except for Cao's army, who has seen soldiers with a full set of armor?

Sure enough, when Zhang Yun's troops reached the shore panting, the 800-strong armored soldiers who had been freely prepared seemed to be facing a group of scarecrows who were blowing down in the wind, as if they were walking in the back garden of their own home. However, they waved a few casually like chasing flies and pulled out a big hole for more than 10,000 people, and easily headed straight for Zhang Yun himself!

this……

Both Zhang Yun and Cai Mao could hardly believe their eyes!

The eight hundred soldiers, at most, only a mark on their bodies, without even a crack. When their swords shining with cold light and murderous intent fell on their soldiers, they cut in half like cutting vegetables!

Isn’t this the steel armor that Cao army has?

Why did the Jiangdong Army have it?
