Chapter 93 Fierce Battle

Outside Xiushui County, Zhou Yu's 20,000 soldiers and horses camped opposite the soldiers and horses in Xiushui County. In the evening, a famous spy monitored the other party's every move. It was impossible not to alarm the other party to mobilization troops under such circumstances.

At this time, the Jiangdong camp more than ten miles away had lit a torch and illuminated the camp. Zhou Cang took 2,000 soldiers and horses to hide outside the camp after Zhou Yu led the soldiers and horses to leave. At the time, the hundreds of soldiers held a big knife in their hands and quietly followed Zhou Cang. It was the more than 500 soldiers selected by Zhou Cang from the 20,000 troops.

Because it was the first time to lead a soldier alone, Zhou Cang's palm holding a big knife was full of sweat, and his forehead was also faintly sweaty. A pair of big eyes stared at the Jiangdong camp hundreds of feet away. Zhou Yu's army in a hurry did not take away the grain and grass, and Zhou Yu also left 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard the food and grass. It's heavy.

The sun has set in the evening, and night is coming. At this time, it was the lowest alert time for the army in a day. Zhou Cang tightened the armor on his head and waved his hand, and the 2,000 soldiers and horses behind him quietly touched the Jiangdong camp.

The soldier at the gate of the big camp was dozed off against the gate. Suddenly, a soldier's eyelids turned slightly and looked at the figure not far away and woke up excitedly. Looking at the Jingzhou soldiers and horses close at hand, the soldiers were about to shout. Zhou Cang quickly threw out the big knife in his hand and directly knocked down the waking soldier.

"Puff!" The sound of a big knife penetrating the armor into the meat woke up the others beside him. Zhou Cang didn't have time to take a few steps forward. He grabbed the corner wood placed in front of the camp gate and roared and threw the corner wood over the camp door. The sound finally shocked the soldiers who promised, one by one from the tent. He ran out to see what had happened.

Zhou Cang did not give them time to react at all. He quickly stepped forward and pulled out the big knife inserted in Jiangdong's neck and roared, and took 2,000 soldiers and horses to the camp. Sima, who stayed in Jiangdong's camp, finally reacted. While ordering people to beat drums and gather soldiers, he rushed to Zhoucang with his own soldiers in an attempt to resist Zhoucang's front.

Looking at the Jiangdong general Zhou Cang in front of him without any hesitation, he raised his big knife and rushed up. Dang!" The collision of weapons resounded through the sky. Jiangdong Sima held the knife tightly with his hands and trembled a little. The fierce impact just now almost made him unable to grasp the weapon. It seemed that he was dissatisfied that he had not killed Jiangdong's young general once. Zhou Cang roared and rushed up again. The young general was faintly afraid to lose Zhou Cang and ran to the gathering place of the soldiers, and Zhou Cang chased after him.

When 2,000 soldiers and horses rushed into the Jiangdong camp, they had already lit torches one by one. With Zhou Cang's impact, they threw the torches in the camp from time to time. The tents along the way burned one after another and quickly filled the whole Jiangdong camp.

Jiangdong's young general, who turned around and left, finally rushed to the gathering place of the soldiers. Nearly a thousand soldiers gathered here. They were not neatly dressed or even wearing armor. The young general came with his own soldiers to rectify the soldiers and horses, and took nearly a thousand soldiers and horses to meet the short soldiers of the Zhoucang army who were chasing closely behind him.

The five hundred soldiers in front of him were like a steel knife. Under the leadership of Zhou Cang, they scattered nearly a thousand soldiers in front of him. The Jiangdong soldiers, who were still a little chaotic, turned into a pile of scattered sand in an instant and scattered under the impact of the soldiers and horses behind Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang took a look at the scattered Jiangdong soldiers and horses around him and roared, "Killing the enemy and burning this camp for me."

With a command, the army that had been behind Zhou Cang dispersed. A team of soldiers chased the scattered Jiangdong soldiers under the leadership of their respective commanders and Shi Chang, and did not forget to burn the dilapidated camp.

Zhou Cang rushed to the rear camp with 500 soldiers. Looking at the mountain of grain and grass, Zhou Cang threw the torch in his hand without any pain. The grain and grass burned with a roar, and the flame became higher and higher, and even made the sunset glow that was about to dissipate more gorgeous. Finally, he took a look at the burning grain and grass Zhoucang and the soldiers turned around to kill the fleeing Jiangdong soldiers.

In just one quarter of an hour, two thousand Jiangdong soldiers and horses stationed in the camp have been slaughtered by Zhoucang, and the rest have been scattered and fled. Regardless of the fleeing soldiers, Zhou Cang immediately took 2,000 soldiers and horses on the path to Xiushui County after defeating the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong.

........................

On the only way to Ai County, Su Fei has been deployed with 2,000 soldiers and horses. The canyon is not deep. Standing on the top of the mountain on both sides, you can see everything in the valley. However, Su Fei did not relax but sent a team of scouts to pay attention to the situation around him at any time. A large number of rolling wood and boulders had been prepared on both sides of the canyon. In addition, Su Fei also ordered people to cut down trees and cut the trunks into spikes and put them on the mountain walls on both sides. In the canyon, Su Fei also sprinkled sulfur and tung oil in the bushes. Su Fei covered the sulfur tung oil with thick dry firewood, and then sprinkled it with dead grass to cover it. If he didn't look carefully, he thought it was withered branches and leaves.

"Report to the general." A scout ran over and said, "The Jiangdong army is coming."

Su Fei's spirit was shocked, and the army on both sides of the canyon quickly lay down and hid. Soon, the roar of footsteps sounded at the mouth of the valley. Through the dense bushes, Su Fei could see that a team of soldiers and horses were walking slowly.

Looking at the canyon in front of him, Tai Shici's eyes flashed. It's not the first time he's been to this canyon, but a few days ago, Ai County and Xiushui County were not captured, so he didn't have to worry about anything. Now the Jingzhou army has invaded Jiangdong. If the Jingzhou army ambushed on this canyon, the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong will definitely be killed and injured.

Although he was very suspicious of whether there were extra soldiers and horses in Jingzhou to ambush here, he still ordered people to investigate. The army slowly stopped at the mouth of the valley, and a team of scouts rode fast horses into the canyon to check. The mountains are high and the forest is dense, and the light in the canyon is not very good in the evening. Several scouts looked around the canyon and found nothing wrong before withdrawing from the canyon.

Tai Shi Ci was relieved to hear the soldier's report: "I think too much. So even if Xu Shu is talented, he can't know that I will go to Ai County? What's more, it is impossible to divide troops to set an ambush in the case of the shortage of soldiers and horses in Xiushui County.

Thinking that Tai Shici did not hesitate any more, he ordered the army to move forward. When he entered the canyon, he saw that the valley was deep and dense. Tai Shici ordered to speed up the speed through the canyon. Ten thousand troops pulled into a long ribbon in the canyon and quickly walked along the canyon.

Two thousand soldiers and horses on the canyon dared not make a sound close to the ground. Su Fei carefully calculated the opportunity to take action through a few rays of light between the trees.

Looking at all the 10,000 troops in Jiangdong entering the canyon, Su Fei did not hesitate to wave the flag. The archers on both sides of the canyon suddenly stood up and the bows and arrows in their hands had been released. The bows and arrows fell into the canyon with fire. In an instant, the canyon was like a fire tree.

Tai Shici looked at the rocket all over the sky, and his face turned dark. He turned his head and shouted, "Quick! Leave the canyon." After saying that, he quickly rushed to Gukou with 10,000 troops.

Su Fei, who was on the canyon, heard Tai Shici's cold hum, turned his head and ordered a few times. The flag behind him shook, and then at the mouth of the valley at both ends of the canyon, there was a rumbling sound. The boulders fell and blocked the mouth of the valley for a moment, blocking Taishici's 10,000 troops in the valley.

At the same time, the rockets fell one after another, and the dry firewood in the valley burned the tung oil below. The sulfur made a loud noise under the fire, and the valley was covered by the fire between the front and back breaths.

The Jiangdong army was quickly cut into several sections by the fire, and was swallowed up by the turbulent fire. From time to time, arrow rain fell in the fire, which made the already overstretched Jiangdong army chaos.

Hearing the screams behind him, Tai Shici suddenly turned his head and saw that the army behind him had been surrounded by the fire and would be destroyed at any time. Some soldiers who had no time to escape were set on fire, and their bodies quickly caught fire. The soldiers screamed and ran around and finally fell into the fire.

Looking at the tragic elephant behind him, Taishi Cihu's eyes were round, and his eyes were about to crack. He didn't have time to scold. He pointed to Gukou, who was blocked by a boulder in front of him, and shouted, "Take it open it." Jiangdong's soldiers also knew that only by opening the valley mouth could they escape and rush to the valley mouth one by one to carry the boulder.

With the help of the fire, Su Fei finally found Tai Shici in the army. He was a little excited that it would be a loss for Jiangdong if he could leave Taishici behind. Su Fei's eyes were full of excitement. He pointed to Tai Shici and shouted behind him, "Throw all the wooden thorns there!"

Hundreds of spikes were thrown into the valley, and the spikes then fell at a terrible falling speed one by one like a stone crack.

Tai Shici was shocked when he looked at the dense spikes on the top of his head. He pulled out his long sword and roared, "Be careful on it."

However, the spike speed was too fast. As soon as Taishi Ci shouted, the spike had fallen. The heavy armor was penetrated by the spikes like paper paste in front of the spikes. A famous Jiangdong soldier was stabbed by the spikes without reacting.

The quick-acting soldiers hid behind the boulder to avoid a disaster, but more were casualties. Tai Shici waved his sword and shot down the spikes rushing towards him, but there were too many spikes to prevent the horse under him. He was pierced by several spikes and died on the spot. Taishi Ci, who was about to fall to the ground, slapped his horse on the back and jumped off the horse. His shoulder hurt but was stabbed by a spike.

After a wave of spikes, Taishi Ci's army was seriously killed and injured. Tai Shici covered his shoulders and commanded the remaining soldiers to move away from the valley and left with the remnants.
