Chapter 220: The battle in Huainan is settled

Late at night on May 22, the 16th year of Qianyuan, the commander of the Wu army in Yinling, Lu Ao, commanded 40,000 Wu troops, and made a desperate bet and attacked the Deng army camp. The Deng army was caught off guard without any defense and was almost captured by the Wu army. Later, under the arrangement of the commander of the Deng army such as Chang Yuchun, Li Siye, Murong Ke, etc., he used the plan and let the Wu army enter the camp and catch turtles in the jar.

In the camp, Pan Qing looked at the Wu army soldiers who were constantly killed because they were surrounded by Deng's army, and looked sad and asked Lu Ao: "Deputy Governor, what should we do now?"

Lu Ao gritted his teeth and said, "Since we can't get out, then we will fight. Even if we die, we can't make Deng Jun's life easier." Lu Ao had already given up on his plan to go out. Now he was just thinking about how to make Deng Jun feel hurt.

When Pan Qing heard Lu Ao's words, he was stunned at first, and then said with a ruthless face: "Okay, since the deputy governor is not afraid of death, then there is nothing to be afraid of. At worst, he will die. He will be a hero again in 18 years."

Seeing that Pan Qing was willing to die with him, Lu Ao looked moved and said, "Okay, General Pan, Chang Yuchun is right in front of us. Let's fight you and I kill him. If we kill him, we will be able to do it."

"Okay!" Pan Qing nodded, then held the weapons in his hand tightly, looked at Lu Ao, and then rushed to the place where Chang Yuchun was. Chang Yuchun looked calmly and found that Lu Ao and Pan Qing were actually coming to him. He also had a burst of blood. He had not taken action for many years, and many people had forgotten that Chang Yuchun was also a powerful general, and it was no problem to kill the general and seize the flag.

Chang Yuchun raised his spear and rushed forward, which made Yue Yun stunned. He had never seen Chang Yuchun take action before. Although his father Yue Fei said that Chang Yuchun's martial arts were better than him, Yue Yun still didn't believe it very much.

However, the strength shown by Chang Yuchun now scared Yue Yun. Chang Yuchun swept his spear and directly swept away the weapons of Lu Ao and Pan Qing. Of course, although Chang Yuchun's strength is higher than Lu Ao and Pan Qing, the larger part is because Chang Yuchun is waiting for labor. Lu Ao and Pan Qing fought fiercely for a long time and consumed too much physical strength, which made Chang Yuchun sweep away with one shot.

Even though he fought against two, Chang Yuchun still gained the upper hand and steadily suppressed Lu Ao and Pan Qing's fight. However, Yue Yun was still a little worried, so he swung his double hammers to kill Chang Yuchun. However, he did not interfere with Chang Yuchun's battle, but just cleaned up some Wu soldiers who tried to approach Chang Yuchun and assist Lu Ao and Pan Qing.

With Yue Yun's help and the harassment of some Wu soldiers, Chang Yuchun seemed to be more and more at ease in the face of two opponents who were declining in shape, and danced with a long spear to the fullest.

After General Chang Yuchun held back the only two generals of the Wu army, no one in the Wu army could resist a group of generals of the Deng army, and the battle situation quickly fell one side.

Chang Yuchun forced Lu Ao and Pan Qing away with a shot, and panted to Lu Ao and Pan Qing: "General Lu, General Pan, the overall situation has been decided, so don't make unnecessary struggles. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the people and family under your command." Seeing that the situation has gradually stabilized, it is only a matter of time for Deng's victory, so Chang Yuchun planned to persuade Lu Ao and Pan Qing to surrender. After all, the two are still very capable, and they are senior generals of the Wu army. If they can join Deng's army, it will be very helpful for Deng's army to surrender Wu army in the future.

But Lu Ao and Pan Qing didn't buy it, especially when Chang Yuchun mentioned his family, Lu Ao remembered his son Lu Su who died at Deng Jun's hands. He immediately looked at Chang Yuchun with a hatred and rushed forward.

Originally, Chang Yuchun was still waiting for Lu Ao and the other two to respond, but Lu Ao did not play according to the rules and ignored Chang Yuchun at all. Instead, he rushed forward. Chang Yuchun quickly picked up his gun and stabbed him. This move was used in a hurry. It can be said that as long as Lu Ao wanted to avoid it, the gun was not threatening to him. But for some reason, Lu Ao did not dodge, causing Chang Yuchun's spear to penetrate directly through Lu Ao's body.

Seeing this scene, Chang Yuchun was suddenly stunned, and then subconsciously wanted to pull out the spear, but at this time, something strange happened. Lu Ao, who was close to the exhausted oil, didn't know where the strength came from, and grabbed Chang Yuchun's spear tightly and prevented Chang Yuchun from pulling it out. Then Lu Ao said to Pan Qing behind him in a roaring tone: "General Pan, hurry up, kill Chang Yuchun."

It turned out that Lu Ao rushed forward to die, with the purpose of allowing Pan Qing to take the opportunity to kill Chang Yuchun. However, Pan Qing was also confused by Lu Ao's operations. Before he could come back to his senses, the angry Lu Ao roared again. Pan Qing then came to his senses and picked up the long sword and slashed at Chang Yuchun. However, Chang Yuchun had long known the intentions of Lu Ao and Pan Qing. Chang Yuchun directly let go of the spear in his hand, and a carp rolled around, avoiding Pan Qing's killing move.

Pan Qing, who could not succeed in one blow, hurriedly walked up and tried to continue to finish the attack, but was killed by Yue Yun's hammer. It turned out that Yue Yun had been beside Chang Yuchun, and he was shocked by Lu Ao's erotic actions. However, when he saw Pan Qing slashing towards Chang Yuchun, Yue Yun rushed forward immediately. At that time, Pan Qing only had Chang Yuchun in his eyes, and he did not take any other precautions, so he was killed by Yue Yun's hammer.

After Lu Ao and Pan Qing died, the remaining Wu soldiers stopped resisting and put down their weapons to surrender. The battle was very fierce. More than 30,000 Wu soldiers died in battle, only a few thousand people were left, and more than 20,000 Deng soldiers were injured or killed.

On May 23, the 16th year of Qianyuan, Chang Yuchun led a large army to Yinling City. At this point, the Jiujiang land was all over the hands of the Deng army, which also meant that the land in Jiangbei and Huainan in the Wu Kingdom was lost. However, in the battle between the two counties in Huainan, the Deng army suffered huge losses, including a total of 100,000 people in the Lingser Guard and Tiger Wing Guard, and in the end, there were only more than 40,000 people left.

On May 30, the 16th year of Qianyuan, after conquering Yinling, Chang Yuchun left 10,000 people to station Jiujiang, and led more than 30,000 people eastward to Liyang. This action scared the King of Wu who was in Wucheng. The other side of Liyang is an important ferry in Jiangdong Niuzhu. Once the Deng army crossed the Yangtze River and conquered Niuzhu, they could directly take Shicheng, Danyang, Moling, Hushu and other places, and approached Wucheng. You must know that there is no large force in the country of Wu now, and it is very empty, and it is impossible to stop Chang Yuchun's 30,000 troops. Therefore, the King of Wu hurriedly ordered Zhou Kai and Lu Feng of Chaisang to give up Chaisang and Yuzhang cities and retreat to Danyang.

On June 12, in the 16th year of Qianyuan, in the 12th day of the 19th month of the Chaisang City, General Chaisang's Mansion, Zhou Kai held the letter from the King of Wu, and looked melancholy. He did not want to give up Chaisang, but now Lu Ao, Lu Su and his son were defeated and died, and the two counties in Huainan were all lost. In addition, the Wu navy had been wiped out. On the Yangtze River, Wu had no power to stop Deng's army from crossing the river, so Zhou Kai had to retreat.

"Grandmaster, the entire army is ready and can evacuate Chaisang at any time." Lu Feng walked in and said.

Zhou Kai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send the order. Two hours later, the entire army will leave the city from the east gate and retreat back to Danyang County."

"Here!" Lu Feng replied.

Three hours later, Zhou Kai and Lu Feng led more than 50,000 people to leave Chaisang and head east to Danyang. Logically speaking, the Wu army was retreating at this time, and the Deng army should have taken the opportunity to attack, but Yue Fei was silent. In fact, Yue Fei also wanted to attack the Wu army, but although the current situation was beneficial to the Deng army, the Deng army suffered huge losses. Before the expedition, the four armies had a total of 190,000 people. Now, there were only less than 120,000 troops left with more than 70,000 casualties, and they were almost in the Battle of Changshe.

So although Yue Fei was unwilling to let Zhou Kai and Lu Feng leave like this, he had to worry about the losses. The battles in Chaohu, Yinling and other places can prove that the Wu army's desperate counterattack was still very powerful. It was this counterattack that caused huge casualties to the Deng army, so Yue Fei had to fight steadily to avoid causing greater casualties.
