    At this time, the sound of breaking through the air became even louder.  Gan Ning's expression changed drastically, and he saw that the arrow on the right side had hit his right chest.  Suddenly, a golden whip came out from behind Gan Ning and struck him horizontally, breaking the arrow.  Gan Ning looked back and saw that the person who helped him turn the corner was Ling Tong.  It turned out that when Ling Tong saw Xia Houyuan shoot six arrows in a row, he knew that Gan Ning would be difficult to defeat, so he hurried to respond.  Just after the danger, the violent sound of the bowstrings started again. Gan Ning and Ling Tong were startled and quickly raised their weapons.  Unexpectedly, Xia Houyuan's bowstring was false, and the two of them had a false alarm. When they recovered, they saw that most of the Wei soldiers had already fled away.  Only Xia Houyuan was left with dozens of horses waiting.

    At this moment, from behind Gan Ning and Ling Tongjun, shouts of killing could be heard overwhelmingly.  Sun Quan led most of his troops to attack.  When Xia Houyuan saw it, he burst out laughing. When he reined in his horse and walked away, he still didn't want to make fun of him.

    "You rat from Jiangdong, sooner or later I will teach you to wait until you are killed by my arrow!!"

    Gan Ning was furious when he heard this, and Pegasus gave chase.  Ling Tong also rushed on horseback.  Sun Quan led most of his troops to attack from behind.  However, the Wei army had already fled far away. When Xia Houyuan fled, he fired three arrows from his back. His superb archery skills made Gan Ning and Ling Tong break into cold sweats.  Sun Quan chased for a while, and when he saw the Wei army fleeing far away, he was so angry that he kept yelling and cursing. Knowing that further pursuit would be fruitless, he ordered the troops to return to the stronghold.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? From then on, the reputation of Cao Zhang's military bravery spread throughout the three armies, and everyone in Wei praised him highly.

    The next day, Sun Quan gathered a group of civil and military officials in the tent to discuss.  Sun Quan's complexion was so dark that he seemed to be dripping with water. He still remembered the humiliation last night and shouted with a faint cold light in his blue eyes.

    "The three sons of the Cao family are so contemptuous of our army. This revenge must be avenged!! Who dares to go to fight!?"

    As soon as Sun Quan said this, the two generals Gan Ning and Ling Tong walked out together, both of whom wanted to fight.  At this moment, it was reported that the commander-in-chief, Zhou Yu, had led his troops to a few miles outside the stronghold.  Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly led his generals out of the stronghold to meet him.  After a while, Zhou Yu led his troops to arrive. The grain transport team behind him was like a long swimming dragon. At the end of the team, siege equipment such as rams and ladder trucks looked like huge monsters.  When Zhou Yu saw Sun Quan, he quickly dismounted.  Sun Quan also dismounted to greet him.  After paying homage, Zhou Yu saw a bit of anger in Sun Quan's eyes, and his heart condensed, so he opened his mouth and asked.

    "I wonder how the war is going?"

    Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and told the story with a bit of anger.  Zhou Yu listened carefully, and later heard that Cao Zhang broke into the army camp at night and killed Xu Sheng. Suddenly, there was a bit of coldness in Shuo Shuo's shining eyes.  After Zhou Yu heard this, he pondered for a while and talked to Sun Quan.

    "My lord, don't worry. Rong Yu will definitely have a plan to deal with it in a few days!"

    When Sun Quan heard this, his face lit up with joy.  Then the rear army entered the stronghold, and the equipment such as baggage and siege equipment were placed in place with the support of groups of sergeants.  In the days that followed, there was no movement among the Wu soldiers. Zhou Yu led Zhou Tai and dozens of elite cavalry to explore the terrain within a ten-mile radius of Chencheng.

    But he said that after Cao Zhang's victory, Wu soldiers remained stationary for days.  Just when Zhang Jia was suspicious, a detailed report came. Zhou Gongjin, the commander-in-chief of the Wu army, had escorted the military equipment to the Wu army's stronghold a few days ago.  He opened his jaw and was shocked when he heard the report. He also thought that Wu Jun's lack of movement for many days must be related to Zhou Yu, so he quickly summoned Xia Houyuan and other generals to come for discussion.  He sat in the high hall with his jaw open and said in a deep voice.

    ¡°Zhou Gongjin¡¯s talent is astonishing. If he tries to devise a plan, he will be hard to guard against. We should wait¡± ¡°What should I do!?¡±

    Hearing this, Xia Houyuan attended the ceremony and spoke.

    "General, don't worry. The previous king of Wei has sent a letter, and has sent General Cao Ren to lead 30,000 reinforcements to rescue Chen County. I expect that the general's troops will arrive in less than ten days. Before that, General  We can order people to defend the city and resist with deep ditches and earthen barriers. When the general's troops arrive, we can take advantage of the situation and counterattack."

    Hearing this, he felt that this was a good idea. He nodded in response, and then ordered the three armies to guard the city closely and seal the city gates. No one was allowed to leave the city without permission within half a month.

    But he said that Zhou Yu had been exploring Chencheng for several days and was familiar with the terrain of Chencheng. Then he saw that Chencheng was heavily guarded and seemed to intend to defend it to the death.  Zhou Yu meditated all night.  On the fourth day, Zhou Yu came to see Sun Quan.  Sun Quan was waiting very anxiously. When he saw Zhou Yu coming to see him, he asked quickly.

    "Does the Governor have a plan?"

    Zhou Yu smiled brightly and talked to Sun Quan.

    "My lord, please be patient and don't be impatient. When Yu saw that Zhang Guyi wanted to defend the city, Cao Cao must have sent reinforcements to rescue Chen Cheng, so he held the city and defended it, waiting for reinforcements, and then took advantage of the situation to counterattack."

    Sun Quan¡¯s face changed drastically when he heard this, and he exclaimed.

    "If reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to capture Yuzhou!!"

    Sun Quan looked anxious, but Zhou Yu was not anxious at all, but said happily.

    "Don't worry, my lord, the key to defeating Chen City lies here!!!!"

      Sun Quan glared and asked quickly.  Zhou Yu had a slight smile on his face, "Han Shimou Chapter 1124: Zhou Gongjin Plans to Defeat the Wei Soldiers (Part 1)" This is what he taught.  Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard the plan, so he followed Zhou Yu's plan and started to build densely in the area southeast of Chen City.  The next day, the three armies were ordered to march towards Chencheng.  The Wu army rushed to the gate of Chencheng with overwhelming force.  Wei soldiers defended the city and did not go out to meet him.  Zhou Yu had already predicted this, so he ordered his soldiers to build mountains of earth on all sides of Chen City to surround Chen City.

    But it was said that Cao Ren led 30,000 soldiers and horses to support Chen County. He went to scout the front and reported back. An army of 60,000 to 70,000 Wu soldiers surrounded Chen City on all sides, and Chen City was in danger.  Upon hearing this, Cao Ren's face became very anxious, and his deputy, Cao Chun, spoke urgently.

    "Zhou Gongjin has always been a treacherous person. If he had gone by the main road, the Wu army might have laid an ambush. General, why not take the small road and leave the Huzui Pass of the Western Mountain to rob the Wu camp, and the siege will be lifted!"

    Cao Ren was overjoyed when he heard the plan, so he followed his advice and led the army ahead, ordering Cao Chun to cut off the rear.  As soon as Cao Ren's troops moved, he had already prepared detailed plans to report back to Sun Quan.

    Sun Quan was overjoyed and told Zhou Yu how to do it.

    "The Governor is truly a god of knowledge!!!"

    Zhou Yu¡¯s eyes showed a bit of arrogance, and he smiled brilliantly.

    "If he comes from the main road in an upright manner, I should avoid him in order to guard against the Wei army in the city. If he comes from the west mountain path, the distance is far away, and it is difficult for him to contact each other for a while, but he can be captured in a battle. Cao Ren will use fire as a signal.  , order the city to respond. The Lord can divide his troops to attack."

    Sun Quan smiled happily, and then followed Zhou Yu's instructions and the allocation was decided.  However, it is said that when Cao Ren's soldiers left the Huzui boundary, they first stationed their troops in Bibo Pavilion, seventeen miles away from Chencheng and leaning on Bijiang River on one side.  Cao Ren ordered his sergeants to pile up firewood and hay and burn them at night as a signal. Then he sent Cao Lin, disguised as the commander-in-chief of the Wu army, to the city walls.  Cao Lin walked cautiously and shouted to the people in the city to open the door.  Xia Houyuan was guarding the city. He recognized "Han Shimou" as Cao Lin's voice and put it into the city.  After Cao Lin paid his respects, he spoke to Xia Houyuan.

    "The generals have already deployed their troops at Bibo Pavilion and are ready to respond at any time. They can immediately raise fire signals to each other and send out troops together. We will definitely defeat the Wu army and relieve the danger of Chen City!"

    Xia Houyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, so he came to see Zhang Jia and told him about the plan.  After Zhang Jia listened, he quickly ordered the sergeants to pile grass and set fire to the city to communicate the message.  At this time, Zhang Jia was discussing with Xia Houyuan.

    "Although the general's troops and horses have arrived, we must not take it lightly. If the other army is prepared, what can we do?"

    Hearing this, Xia Houyuan pondered for a while and then replied.

    "The general can send an army to raid at dusk. I will take advantage of the two armies to fight and set fire in the city to send a signal. If the general does not respond with fire, I will quickly withdraw the army. But if I see the fire signal, I will  Go out and fight and kill him with all your strength. When the general's troops arrive, he will be completely unprepared!"

    He opened his jaw and listened, his eyes shot out two rays of light, and he nodded.

    "This is a very clever plan!!"

    Zhang Jia then followed Xia Houyuan's plan and ordered the three armies to eat and rest until dusk.  Above Chencheng, a cannon sounded.  Opening his jaws, he led ten thousand soldiers and horses to charge out of the city with great momentum.  When Sun Quan saw that Wei soldiers were really going to fight, he was not afraid. He personally led the army, and together with Gan Ning, Ding Feng and other generals, he led the army out of the stronghold to meet them.  After a while, the drums were beating loudly and the horns were blasting.  The armies of Wei and Wu met in a broad plain five miles outside the city.

    Gan Ning led the leading troops and horses to arrive first. In the Wei army's formation, Cao Zhang glared and led a group of troops to charge towards Gan Ning's army.  Gan Ning gave a loud shout and galloped his horse to greet him with his sword.  The two of them exchanged horses in an "entertainment show" in an instant. Cao Zhang danced with his sword and slashed continuously. It was like a storm-like offensive.  Gan Ning was not inferior, the sword in his hand flashed like lightning, and he fought extremely fiercely with Cao Zhang, with swords and swords crisscrossing each other.  The soldiers of the two armies were already fighting each other, and the sound of fighting was shaking the heaven and the earth.  He opened his jaw with a cold expression and glanced at the flag bearer on the left side.  The flag bearer understood this and waved the flag.  As soon as the flag moved, the cavalry on both sides of the Wei army's formation immediately charged into the air.  The state of Wei has always been famous for its cavalry. Now when the cavalry in the Wei army's formation moved, all the Wu soldiers were frightened.  When Sun Quan saw this, his green eyes gleamed, he made a move with his sword, and drank several times in his mouth.  Suddenly, the horn blew.  On both wings of Wu's formation, Ding Feng and Pan Zhang each led a long gunner to attack.  Two cavalry, one on the left and one on the right, charged towards the Wu army's formation.  Ding Feng led his army to the left, and Pan Zhang led his army to the right.  Ding Feng was seen charging up his horse and rushing into the cavalry thicket first. The Wei cavalry quickly flew their spears to stab him. Ding Feng roared, danced his sword tightly, and bounced away the spears one by one.  Then the flying knife struck continuously, and the light of the knife was cold and flickering.  In an instant, Ding Feng created a breach, and the pikemen behind him rushed forward one after another.  On the other side, Pan Zhang brandished his gun and stabbed rapidly. Several Wei cavalrymen in front turned over and fell off their horses as blood blossoms appeared.  Pan Zhang shouted loudly and crashed into the crowd. He rushed left and right, trying to carve a bloody path.  Afterwards, they deployed and followed one after another, with their spears like reeds. Suddenly, a group of Wei cavalrymen on the right fell on their backs.

    Zhang ?The tiger's eyes narrowed, his eyes were cold, and he cast a look at the flag bearer on the right.  The right flag wavers.  Cao Pi saw this, shouted loudly, and led a sword and shield man forward to attack.  At this time, Gan Ning and Cao Zhang were fighting in the rebel army.  Cao Pi led his troops to arrive suddenly, his sword and shield hand rushed forward, and thousands of swords flashed and flew up.

    Gan Ning's army was killed for a while and was gradually on the verge of collapse.  Cao Pi raised his horse and stabbed Gan Ning diagonally, twisting his spear and flying towards him.  Gan Ning held his sword to block, but Cao Zhang immediately attacked from behind.  Gan Ning fell to avoid it.  The Cao brothers fought together and entangled Gan Ning.  The Wei soldiers pressed forward heavily, killing the Wu soldiers in the middle and retreating steadily.

    When Sun Quan saw it, he knew that Zhang Jiayu was going to attack from the middle. His face turned cold and he shouted loudly.
