As soon as the sky was bright, and a layer of mist was still shrouded in the Yangtze River, fifty light boats rowed silently to the shore, and then hid in the reeds on the shore as fast as possible.

Zhang Wu and Chen Sunbing were divided into two routes, each leading 250 people who dared to die, and according to the scouts, Huang Zu's army was stationed near Zhoujiabao, which was only five miles from the shore, and Huang Zu himself was in Zhoujiabao.

Zhoujiabao was a big family in this area, and it was also a wealthy family, and a fortress was built here for self-defense.

The owner of Zhoujiabao and Huang Zu are old acquaintances, relying on the relationship of Huang Zu, the Zhou family can be rampant here, in addition, the Zhou family also formed a private army by itself, about 1,000 people, the previous time Huang shot to pursue Zhang Wu, Chen Sun, the Zhou family also sent troops to assist.

Therefore, Zhang Wu and Chen Sun hated Zhoujiabao to the core, and this time they were ordered to go to Zhoujiabao to attract Huang Zu's troops, and the two of them were very cautious because they were very familiar with the terrain in this area.

After all, there are only 500 of them, and Huang Zu has tens of thousands of troops, the navy is stationed in the upstream ferry, about 30,000, and the army is all stationed in the Zhoujiabao area, there are 20,000 people, and Huang Zu is also in Zhoujiabao because he arrived here yesterday and was warmly invited by the owner of Zhoujiabao.

Zhang Wu and Chen Sun were originally born as river thieves and were very experienced in water warfare, but this time Huang Zuqin led 30,000 water troops to come, Zhang Wu and Chen Sun originally planned to lure the water army, who knew that they sneaked over to take a look last night, so that they completely dispelled the plan to lure the water army.

It can be said that this time Huang Zu has made a lot of money in order to take revenge. dispatched his most elite navy. This naval army was built by Huang Zu with several years of painstaking efforts. There were hundreds of warships, large and small. If you drive in the middle of the river, you can stretch for miles from front to back.

Moreover, the navy has been trained all year round, and its combat effectiveness is very strong, and dealing with such a little river thief as Zhang Wu and Chen Sun is like pinching an ant to death.

Zhang Wu and Chen Sun had long heard that Huang Zu's army could crisscross the Jianghuai, and when they saw it yesterday, they were sure that what they said was true, and then they went downstream. A vain attempt to lure a weaker army.

Huang Zu's account has 50,000 elites, 30,000 sailors are the elite of the elite, and the other 20,000 horse infantry troops are just used as foils, because he guards Jiangxia all the year round, and the waters in Jiangxia are extremely wide, and several important cities are established along the Yangtze River, so the navy is very important.

Since Huang Zu attaches great importance to the water army, in comparison, haode has given everything to the water army, and Ma Bujun is dwarfed. Both weapons and equipment are inferior. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the Mabu Army is relatively low.

Zhang Wu and Chen Sun made a good decision, Zhang Wu asked Chen Sun to ambush here, one could meet them, and the other could be optimistic about the ships, while he led two hundred and fifty people who dared to die and went straight to Zhoujiabao.

The sky was slightly bright, Zhang Wu had already come to Zhoujiabao outside the fog, and before he got close to Zhoujiabao, he saw that there were simple tents everywhere outside Zhoujiabao, and Huang Zu's soldiers were not strictly guarded.

Zhang Wu looked around, picked a camp closest to him, quietly approached with the daredevil, and then suddenly attacked.

Huang Zu's soldiers were suddenly attacked, some were at a loss, Zhang Wu set fire to the camp, although it was April weather, but there was still some breeze, just blowing the burning tent, so that the fire became bigger and bigger, and spread along the wind to the surroundings.

Many of the soldiers were still sleeping soundly in their tents, and when they suddenly encountered a fire, they were so awakened that they didn't even bother to put on their pants and ran out of the tents.

Zhang Wu took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, but unfortunately the number was too small, Huang Zu's soldiers were too many, and their group of people was like a cup of water, and they couldn't shake Huang Zu's barracks at all, but they just caused a commotion in this area.

Soon, Huang Zu's generals reacted and, under the command of the officer, began to counterattack Zhang Wu. Seeing this, Zhang Wu ran away, fighting while retreating, but the troops he attracted were very limited.

Huang Zu's camp that caught fire was quickly extinguished by the soldiers, and it was not worth mentioning at all, and even Huang Zu in Zhoujiabao was not alarmed.

However, Huang Zu's pursuers have been chasing Zhang Wu, and more than 800 people have been biting Zhang Wu to the death, and they have to eliminate Zhang Wu and others.

Zhang Wu was in a hurry, and led the people to the reeds on the shore, and when the pursuers arrived, Chen Sun and the others, who had already been ambushed here, immediately launched a surprise attack.

Huang Zu's pursuers were caught off guard, and Zhang Wu led his subordinates to turn their heads and kill back, and together with Chen Sun and others, they attacked the pursuers, but Huang Zu's pursuers were defeated, and Zuihou fled.

Zhang Wu and Chen Sun chased for a while, then gave up, immediately gathered together, the two discussed, felt that they had few soldiers, if they really caused the army to chase, it was a little unlikely, and they were afraid of being wiped out, so the two returned to Xunyang together and made a decision.

The two returned the same way, and after returning to Xunyang, they told Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Lu Su that they could not succeed in luring Huang Zu's army.

Lu Su then changed his strategy and asked Zhang Wu and Chen Sun not to go anymore but to stay in Xunyang, wait for Huang Zu to lead the army to come, and then act according to the plan.

At that time, Huang Zu woke up from his sleep, and when he was having breakfast, he knew that he had been attacked by a small force this morning. He sneered and didn't say anything, just said he knew.

After breakfast, Huang Zu ordered the 30,000 sailors to drive straight in and occupy the shore of Xunyang first to ensure the landing of the follow-up troops.

All the process went smoothly and there was no resistance in between. Huang Zu was very happy, guessing that he knew that his army was coming, and he was so frightened that he hid.

Subsequently, the scouts reported that as soon as the people in Xunyang County heard that Huang Zu was coming, they were like frightened birds, and they fled here overnight.

In other words, the current Xunyang County is already an empty city.

When Huang Zu heard this, he was very happy, thinking that this was also a understandable thing, the army was here, who would dare not obey?

"Newspaper—"

A scout pulled his long tongue and rode his horse from a distance.

"Lord Qiqi, five miles ahead, find the enemy army!"

Huang Zu hurriedly asked, "How many people?" ”

"About five hundred!"

"Five hundred, and you dare to stop my army? It's just an arm blocking the car, and I can't do it myself! Huang Zu said in high spirits, "Han Xi! ”

"The last general!" A person immediately replied that it was Han Xi, the beloved general under Huang Zu's account.

"I'll give you 2,000 soldiers, and you go and destroy this enemy!"

"Only 500 people, why do you need so many soldiers and horses, 300 cavalry is enough!" Han Xi boasted.

"Great! I will give you three hundred horsemen, and if you win, you will be rewarded. Huang Zu said happily.

Han Xi received the order, and immediately led three hundred cavalry to kill the past.

As soon as Han Xi left, another scout came to report that another enemy army had been found on the southeast side, and the number was only about 500.

Immediately afterwards, a company of four scouts came back to tell the truth, and each of them said that they had found an enemy army, each of which numbered only about 500 people.

Together with the two enemy forces just now, a total of six troops, and scattered in different directions, a total of 3,000 people, after hearing this, Huang Zu just sneered, and didn't think about it, and immediately sent his generals to lead a thousand horse infantry troops to destroy these enemy troops. And he himself followed Han Xi with tens of thousands of troops, and went to Xunyang, preparing to occupy Xunyang City first, and then march to Anhui County, and then capture Shucheng, the county capital of Lujiang.

Han Xi with three hundred cavalry, soon came to the location of the enemy, the first person, is Zhang Wu, Han Xi did not say a word, the army was killed, Zhang Wu led the symbolic resistance, and then blew the whistle, everyone dispersed, but the cavalry led by Han Xi could not catch up.

"The rabble, it's just vulnerable!" Han Xi took a sip and scolded secretly.

scolded and scolded, but Han Xi did not send people to chase after him, because Xunyang has many rolling hills here, and the road is not very smooth, except for the official road leading to Xunyang County, the rest are rugged paths, which are not suitable for cavalry walking.

Han Xi asked people to cut off a person's head casually and act as the leader of the enemy army, he took this head, and waited here, and then quietly waited for Huang Zu's arrival to invite merit.

A moment later, Huang Zu really led the army to arrive here, and saw Han Xi and the others standing there unscathed, still holding a human head in their hands, and they were very happy in their hearts.

Han Xi carried the human head, rode his horse to Huang Zu, and said with a smile: "Lord, this is the head of the leader of the enemy army, and I cut it off, and the rest of the people saw this and knew that they couldn't resist our army, so they scattered in a hurry." ”

"Well, that's good, I'll give you a credit, and after the deed, you'll be rewarded!" Huang Zuxin thought it was true, and he didn't even look at the head, so he said loudly.

"Whoa!" Han Xi successfully deceived Huang Zu, and his heart was happy, and he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, and go to Xunyang City to prepare everything for the lord first." ”

"Okay, I'll give you two thousand ......"

"No, my army is here, invincible, and these three hundred cavalry are all elite, it's enough!" Han Xi said smugly.

Huang Zu nodded, so Han Xi took the only three hundred cavalry and ran towards Xunyang City, gradually getting farther and farther away from Huang Zu.

In a short time, scouts from all sides came to report that the various units had already routed the enemy army and scattered and fled.

Huang Zu was very happy, so he gathered his troops together again, no longer worried, and boldly went to Xunyang City.

The army walked forward for about five miles, and Huang Zu suddenly saw that the ground not far in front of him had already been stained red with blood, and there were many corpses lying on the ground, mostly soldiers wearing enemy uniforms.

Seeing this scene, Huang Zu laughed heartily, and gave great affirmation to Han Xi as a pioneer, so he ordered to continue to move forward.

But just when the army had just opened less than a mile, a deafening shout sounded in all directions, and the enemy troops killed from all directions, Zhang Liao on the left, Gao Shun on the right, Gan Ning, Su Fei, Zhang Wu, Chen Sun in front, and the soldiers were even denser, about tens of thousands of people.
