As a pioneer, Zhou Tai has always been very dedicated, he led a thousand light cavalry, with lightning speed, starting from Yixian, all the way to Nanchang, more than 100 miles deep into the territory of Nanchang County, did not encounter a single soldier of resistance.

In the evening, Zhou Tai and others had approached Poyang County, and seeing that it was getting late, and Zhou Tai and others were also tired and sleepy, so they decided to temporarily rest for one night in Poyang County.

At dusk, Zhou Tai came to Poyang County with a thousand cavalry, although there were county orders and a few garrisons in the city, but when Zhou Tai and others arrived, they all rushed to abandon the city and flee, and everyone dared to resist.

Without much effort, Zhou Tai and others occupied the county seat of Poyang and spent the night in the city.

The next day, Zhou Tai received a report from the scout that the five generals newly promoted by Sun Quan had already led their respective armies from Nanchang and were heading towards Poyang County, and Ling Cao, the vanguard, was at the forefront.

When Zhou Tai learned of this situation, he was excited, and secretly geared up, and finally could fight happily.

So, Zhou Tai sent someone to inform Chen Deng in the back, leaving 300 cavalry to garrison in the county town, and he took 700 cavalry to meet Ling Cao, preparing to give the enemy a dismount.

Ling Cao with an army of 3,000 had already arrived in Wuyang County, which was only eighty miles away. Ling Cao did not make any stop in Wuyang County, nor did he go into the city to rest, but rushed towards Poyang County with three thousand soldiers at the fastest speed.

Zhou Tai sent scouts to listen to Ling Cao's march route, and the number of soldiers he had led was not afraid of the small number of his subordinates, but instead of being afraid of the small number of his subordinates, he looked forward to this war more and more.

Under Zhou Tai's arrangement. Seven hundred cavalry divided into three. Six hundred cavalry lay in ambush on the road from Wuyang County to Poyang County. He led a hundred cavalry, blocking the avenue, deliberately confusing Ling Cao, and luring the enemy deeper.

In the evening, Ling Cao and Zhou Tai officially met on the official road, and Zhou Tai, with a hundred cavalry, suddenly came out from both sides of the road, killing Ling Cao by surprise. But Zhou Tai's numbers were too small after all, and he didn't dare to fight, and after a short charge, he immediately retreated.

When Ling Cao led the army to chase for more than three miles, Zhou Tai suddenly stopped, rearranged the troops, blocked the official road, and killed Ling Cao again.

That's when it happened. Suddenly there was an ambush on both sides of the official road, and the cavalry rushed out. Killed Ling Cao again by surprise, and Zhou Tai also joined forces with the ambush soldiers, harvesting the enemy's head to the fullest.

Ling Cao saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered a retreat, where was Zhou Tai willing to give up, led the army to chase all the way behind, and killed Ling Cao's soldiers and horses along the way lost their armor and fled very embarrassed.

Zhou Tai fought a victory, and heard from the scouts that the enemy army had arrived in Wuyang County one after another, with about 10,000 troops, and Zhou Tai had fewer people and did not dare to act rashly, so he cleaned up the battlefield and returned to Poyang City with the booty.

The next day, Chen Deng led the army to Poyang City, Zhou Tai reported his achievements to Chen Deng, and while he was talking, people reported that Zhu Huan came to attack the city with an army of 5,000 people, and it was less than ten miles away from Poyang City.

Chen Deng immediately dispatched his troops and asked Zhou Tai to lead 5,000 troops to line up outside the city to block the enemy, while Chen Deng watched the battle from the city wall.

About a stick of incense later, on the official road facing west, the sand and dust were rolling, and thousands of soldiers rushed out of the dusty fog, and one of them rode a tall horse, holding a spear, wearing an iron helmet, wearing iron armor, and a pair of eyes full of murderous intent on his cold face.

Behind the man, a haphazard group of cavalry, followed by panting infantry, without the slightest lineup to speak of, looked like a plate of loose sand.

"I am Zhu Huan, the general of Zhenwu, who dares to fight to the death with me?" Zhu Huan rode out, brandished the spear in his hand, and shouted proudly.

Zhou Tai had already led the army to set up a position under the city, the army was neat, the flags were dense, the soldiers were all tense, and the blood in his heart was constantly flowing, and he couldn't wait to start the war as soon as possible.

Zhou Tai heard Zhu Huan's shout, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, and shouted loudly, and the war horse under the seat took a few steps forward, pointing at Zhu Huan and shouting: "Traitor, I am Zhou Tai, the general of Henghai, according to the holy decree of Bixia, come to crusade against you rebels and thieves, if you know each other, lead the people to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, you will become the soul of my sword!" ”

Zhu Huan snorted coldly, didn't say anything, slapped his horse and danced the gun, and rushed towards Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai was not to be outdone, brandished the big knife in his hand, shouted, and slapped his horse out.

The two hedged against each other, and when the two war horses were about to meet, Zhou Tai and Zhu Huan raised their swords and guns at the same time, and they each used all their strength, striving to kill each other with one blow.

"Ding!"

The two weapons collided together, making a crisp sound, and once the two fought, they fought together.

Zhou Tai's swordsmanship is exquisite, Zhu Huan's spearmanship is not bad, and neither of them took advantage of the first round, and they separated in an instant.

After separation, the two turned the horse's head again, fought together again, after a clanging fight, the two fought to the fifth round, Zhu Huan's strength was slightly poor, Zhou Tai slashed and almost broke Zhu Huan's arm, so frightened that Zhu Huan's face was like earth, turned the horse's head, and retreated into the military formation, not daring to fight against Zhou Tai again.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai waved the big knife in his hand forward, shouting "Kill", and the soldiers behind him who were already gearing up rushed up and rushed towards the enemy.

Not to be outdone, Zhu Huan commanded his subordinates to rush and kill each other, and the two armies rushed to each other, and as soon as they made contact, they immediately launched a fierce battle.

Zhou Tai's subordinates were all soldiers who were ready to fight, while Zhu Huan's subordinates were soldiers who came after a long journey, and after the two armies fought, the advantages and disadvantages were immediately revealed.

Zhou Tai's subordinates fought bravely, and Zhou Tai himself took the lead, taking the lead, and between the swing of the big knife, one by one the heads fell to the ground.

Soon, the battle showed a one-sided situation, Zhou Tai's army was brave and good at fighting, and Zhu Huan's subordinates who killed him were defeated and retreated.

Zhu Huan saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, while Zhou Tai chased and fought fiercely, and the army that killed Zhu Huan cried for his father and mother, and chased him seven or eight miles away before leading the army back.

In this battle, Yangzhou's army won the victory, killing a total of 1,500 enemy troops, if it wasn't for Zhu Huan's fast running, his 5,000 army might be wiped out.

Chen Deng was very satisfied with this battle, and also rewarded Zhou Tai, and asked Zhou Tai to take credit.

After a short rest, Chen Deng couldn't wait to order the army to continue to advance towards Nanchang.

According to the scout's report, Zhu Huan, Zhu Ran, Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, and Pan Zhang all gathered the army in Wuyang County, which is the only way to Nanchang and a barrier in Nanchang.

However, Chen Deng did not take these new generals of Sun Quan in his eyes at all, for him, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Sun He and others were the more difficult figures in the enemy camp, if they were not dismissed, it was them who led the army, Chen Deng might have to work hard.

However, judging from these two battles, Ling Cao and Zhu Huan were defeated one after another, and these young generals would only rush up to die, knowing what war was, and it was impossible for them to be his opponents Chen Deng.

In the afternoon of the same day, the army marched straight to the county seat of Wuyang, and Chen Deng still took Zhou Tai as the vanguard.

Moreover, Zhou Tai is also the only general under Chen Deng's account who can handle it at present, if he is not sent, who else can be sent.

Zhou Tai is also willing to be this pioneer, there are battles, he can make meritorious contributions, and he can continue to establish military prestige, why not.

……

Zhang Yan rode the white dragon, and his horseman Ayub followed by him, surrounded by thousands of troops, walked on the official road in a very orderly manner.

"Ayyub!" Zhang Yan suddenly shouted.

"The subordinates are here!" Ayub hurriedly replied, "What does His Royal Highness King Yan command?" ”

"No, I'm just curious about you."

"Curious? Curious about what? ”

"You came from the Western Regions, and you came to me with a bloody horse. But I don't know much about you. There are many countries in the Western Regions, I don't know which country you are from? ”

"His Royal Highness King Huiyan, I am from Dawan."

"It's no wonder, no wonder you have a bloody BMW. By the way, in your country, is there a lot of sweat and blood? ”

"Although Dawan is rich in horses, and most of them are good horses, sweat and blood horses are extremely rare, because his bloodline is extremely noble, and the production is very low." Ayup.

"In that case, then I'm even more curious, how did the white dragon get into your hands?" Zhang Yan turned his head to look at Ayub, and his deep eyes shot out of the Dao essence, and Ayub was extremely uncomfortable looking at it.

Ayubu's eyes flickered, and he didn't know how to answer, because he had been hesitant in his heart whether he wanted to tell King Yan his true identity......

At this moment, a rider came up from the official road in front of him, and was stopped by the outpost, and after learning that it was a messenger sent by Lu Su, he was brought over to see Zhang Yan.

After Zhang Yan saw the messenger, the messenger directly handed over Lu Su's letter, after Zhang Yan opened it and read it, he immediately hurriedly read it, and on his expressionless face, he suddenly frowned, and immediately ordered: "Pass the order, the army will speed up!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yan summoned another Jinyi guard and asked him to rush to the front line, no matter where Chen Deng was or what he was doing, he must immediately stop Chen Deng from attacking the enemy again, and the army retreated a hundred miles and stood by.

Jin Yiwei knew that the situation was serious, and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Yan again, considering the distance and time, Zhang Yan decided to go in person.

Zhang Yan's war horse is a bloody horse, which can travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night, no matter where Chen Deng is, he can reach Chen Deng at the fastest speed.

So, Zhang Yan rode out on horseback, and let Xu Chu lead the whole army to continue to speed up the march, and he himself left the army alone and chased Chen Deng. (To be continued......)
