Chapter 164 Bloody Battle of the Yangtze River (10)

Updated: 2012-08-21

The Shu soldiers were swept towards Hu Guang like a tide. Hu Guang's eyes were so bitter that he wanted to rush into Hefei City. However, after another wave, one after another, continuous and endless. Even though Hu Guang was born with divine power, he was already sweating profusely and panting like a cow. The Wei army's strength behind him was reduced to 3,000, and he was even more in danger!

Hefei prefect Cheng Wei saw the endless Shu army around him, and felt miserable. Seeing Hu Guang fighting on his own was even more thrilling. He made a quick decision, Cheng Wei shouted: "Hefei is no longer rescued. General Hu breaks through quickly and keeps a useful body. Don't sacrifice easily!"

During the melee, Hu Guang was even more anxious when he heard Cheng Wei's repeated shouting, and took out a gap and shouted: "Cheng Changxuanxiu wants to give up! Let me protect you and leave..." Before he finished speaking, the Shu army's offensive was fierce again, so Hu Guang had to concentrate on the fight.

Cheng Wei, the prefect of Hefei, shook his head slightly and said with a neighing voice: "Cheng Wei is the commander of this place, and he should live and die with the city. The Shu people are powerful and the general is injured. He cannot fight hard. He can quickly return to Shouchun to reorganize his troops. The national affairs are the most important! There is no need to worry about Cheng Wei!"

One is guarding the empty city alone at the top of the city, and the other is fighting alone in the formation. The two are echoing from afar, and sadness comes from the heart. Hu Guang knew that he was about to exhaust his strength, but Cheng Wei was very determined to break through. In his helplessness, a sad shout led the Wei army to break through! The Wei army was exhausted for a long time and was mostly injured. At this moment, he was determined to break through, but he was powerless to turn the world. Seeing rows of soldiers falling down, screams came, even though Hu Guang was brave, he could not speak alone, let alone being surrounded and killed by several Shu generals, which made him unable to protect himself!

At the critical moment, the Shu army split, and a Wei army came to meet Hu Guang like an arrow. Hu Guang saw that Lu Qi brought more than a hundred cavalry to rescue him. He exchanged his eyes and understood everything. At that moment, Hu Guang raised his strength, and Lu Qi fought with him, but he could not care about his subordinates and soldiers, and led more than a hundred Wei cavalry to break through!

The focus of the Shu army was not here. More and more Shu army did slowly move towards the river bank after surrounding Hefei. It was precisely because of this that the sword, Bengfuqian, killed by Hu Guang and Lu Qi, led more than ten cavalry to escape and ran wildly.

Li Te and Li Han joined the battle formation with hundreds of Shu soldiers. Li Te was seriously injured and struggled hard. Li Hanwen was powerless. The two of them were just shaking flags and shouting with the remaining soldiers, and did not dare to fight to the Wei people. After searching for a long time in the army, they finally saw a Shu general roaming horses to greet him. After careful observation, they didn't recognize him.

"Who is the general of Zhenwei, who is Li Te? "Shizhan General Huize sat on the horse with a slender figure, majestic and murderous aura.

Although Li Te had never seen Xiu Ze, he knew that he was a surrendered general of Wu State after hearing his accent. Despite this, he did not dare to neglect him: "I am Li Te, thank you General Xiu for coming to pick him up."

Xiu Ze did not respond when he heard this. He looked at Li Te's scars and his face pale. Then he looked at the hundreds of Shu soldiers behind Li Te's faces being shot and arrows, and there were soldiers wearing people's clothes, and their eyes fluctuated faintly.

Li Han felt very unhappy when he saw that his brother-in-law was neglected. Fang Zi snorted coldly, and Xu Ze had already turned over and got off the horse. He stepped forward to support Li Te and said, "Thank you for your hard work, it's too late to get off such a hard battle. Alas... Get on the horse quickly, I'll send Brother Li to a safe place to treat the injury."

Li Te did not expect that the surrendered general of Wu State in front of him was so enthusiastic. He looked very sincere and had no suspicion of being artificial. He immediately said: "How dare Li Te be the position of Captain Li Te to trouble the general..."

"What is Brother Li's saying? Xiuze's most important hero in his life, and when Xiuze was replaced, it is Brother Li. It is unknown whether he can save his life at this moment. If Brother Li refuses, he will look down on him!" Xiuze said, while calling his personal soldiers beside him to bandage the wounds for Li Te and others, and some people even brought dry food for everyone to eat.

Some of the Shu army fought hard and had not yet advanced every day, and some were running for hundreds of miles and empty. They thought they would die. The reinforcements came, but they were not only here, but also so enthusiastic and thoughtful, as if they were at home. The man who was seeking life at the knife had his arms and heartbroken. At this time, many people cried and cried. They fought hard in the enemy country, never gave up within the army, had failed, panic, and despair. They gritted their teeth and walked over and felt that all this was not done in vain, and the dead were not sacrificed in vain.

Seeing this, Li Han felt warm and saw that Li Te was sobbing that he couldn't speak, so he asked: "The water battle has not ended yet, where did General Xiu come from?"

Xiu Ze helped Li Te to rest for a while, and smiled and said, "This must be Mr. Li Han. I came from the Jiangxia waters."

"Oh? Your Majesty is so calculating!" Li Han was a very smart man. He knew the outline of the matter as soon as he heard Xiu Ze's words. The Yangtze River waters fought in succession, and the Shu Han general Huang Chong fought with the main force of the Wei Navy. The other team was Luo Xian attacking Jiangxia. The Wei general Wang Jun of Jiangxia was also a general. However, in order to cooperate with Du Yu's Jingzhou offensive, Jiangxia's troops were reduced by half and could only defend but not attack. In this way, although Jiangxia was in a confrontation, the Shu army could land near Jiangxia, thus avoiding the Wei Shu navy that was fighting on the Yangtze River and rushing to Hefei overland to support Li Te and others.

"Your Majesty specifically instructed me to rescue the two heroes who fought hard at all costs. The Wei army was obstructed by many obstacles along the way, so I came too late. Fortunately, it didn't cause a big mistake. Otherwise, I really didn't know how to go back and report to Your Majesty." Xiu Ze said with lingering fear. However, Li Te, Li Han and others understood that the journey from Jiangxia to Hefei was almost a thousand miles, and it was not easy to walk along the way, and the Wei army was obstructed by the road guarding the road. From the beginning of attacking Jiangxia, how many obstacles would Xiu Ze go through along the way? It was easy, but it was very hard and extremely dangerous.

Li Te said calmly: "General Xiu's long-distance attack is a great achievement. I wonder what the war is going on ahead?"

Xiu Ze smiled and said, "You two just need to rest well. This time I will join forces with General Tao Huang. Now General Tao has led his troops to raid the Wei Navy. I believe that this battle will be settled soon."

Tao Huang is one of the only remaining famous generals in the Wu Kingdom. He was a general under Lu Kang at that time. After escorting a group of remaining soldiers back to Jianye, he became sick and caught in bed. When the sick body was cured, Jianye was under the rule of the Wei people. Although the Wei Kingdom sent people to invite him many times, Tao Huang was still sick and did not leave until the Shu army captured Jianye, and he joined Shu Han with the strong recommendation of Wuyan and other old ministers.

Li Te and Li Han didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. His Majesty had already arranged everything, and it wasn't his turn to worry about it. Besides, both of them were exhausted and their bodies had already reached their limits.

"Report to the general, Hefei City has been captured, and the prefect of Hefei Cheng Wei committed suicide. There were no defenders in the city, only some yamen runners." A young general was seventy-sixth of similarity to Xiu Ze, and he reported respectfully.

"Xuyun, this is Lord Li Teli, who is alone in Qiao County, making it difficult for the Wei army to fall asleep. This is Mr. Li Han. These people are all my great men and I have never seen them before!?" Xiu Ze looked at his younger brother's behavior and felt very pleased, and immediately introduced his younger brother to everyone.

"Xuyun greets Lord Li, Mr. Li, all the heroes are my great Han heroes, Xiuyun is polite!" Xiuyun held his fists and saluted, and everyone present was flattered.

Li Te is just a captain, Li Han is white, and there is no need to mention the soldiers behind him. Looking at Xiu Yun's clothes and armor, at least he is also a general, so approachable, he is not inferior to Xiu Ze! Everyone quickly returned the favor, and at the same time they were even more moved. Xiu Ze and Xiu Yun were both surrendered generals of the Wu Kingdom. Although everyone was inevitably worried about this, they had already been convinced by the other party's demeanor.

"This is a bad brother, I am so funny. Xiuyun, are you ready in the city?" Xiuze briefly introduced Xiuyun's identity to Li Te and others, and asked his younger brother again.

Xiu Yun was very understanding and said, "Brother, don't worry, you can check in the city clearly, there are no abnormalities. Xiu Yun will take you into the city for a good rest."

Xiu Ze nodded slightly and bowed to Li Te and others, "You can follow your inferior brother to enter the city for a while. You must confirm whether there are Wei people around you, so I will not be with you."

Li Te and others also returned the greeting, watching Xiu Ze take thousands of Shu troops away from Hefei. Li Te couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty has such a person, and my great man can be prosperous!"
