Chapter 172: Fighting Huai Shang Again (Part 1)

Updated: 2012-08-28

"Brother, the Wei army in Jiangxia is coming, can we fight?" Xiu Yun asked in a big strode into the camp.

Xiu Ze frowned and said, "Did Luo Lingze retreat all his troops to Xiangyang? Why did the Wei army in Jiangxia act so quickly?"

Xiu Yun said: "According to the horse probe, the appearance of three or four thousand Wei troops, I don't know if there are still a large group of people following him in the rear."

"I'm afraid the Wei army in Shouchun is also launched at this time. Without further ado, I will allocate half of the troops to defend this place. Can you do it?" Xiu Ze said with a serious face.

Xiu Yun was happy to hear this and said, "Brother, don't worry, Xiu Yun sticks to this place and does not allow the Wei army to take advantage of the opportunity! But... Why are the brothers in a hurry to return to help? Are they worried about Lujiang, Hefei and other places?"

Xiu Ze nodded and said, "If the Wei army sends troops, Lujiang will be the first to be the brunt of the war. The troops here have just been transferred, and the remaining troops may not be the opponents of the Wei army."

Xiu Yunqi said, "Then Li Te is also a good general. If you are determined to keep the city, you should be fine. Why should your brother be so urgent?"

Xiu Ze shook his head and said, "You only know the appearance, but not the inside. Although Li Te is both civil and military, he values ​​utilitarianism and is a brave man. If the Wei army arrives, I think it will definitely not be able to defend it. If the news from Lujiang is transmitted back, it will probably be too late."

Xiu Yun also shook his head and said, "The battle in Qiao County has proved that Li Te is worthy of great use. I am sorry that I can't agree with my brother's opinion."

"Hahaha, it is a good thing to have your own judgment ability, and it is also the most important thing for the general. Li Te is good at starting a business, but good at attacking but not good at defending. Brother, I will turn back to Lujiang and leave it to you here. Remember not to fight, just keep a steady guard." Xiu Ze admired his younger brother's refutation of his opinion.

As a member of Hu Leique, Li Te also had some knowledge of leading troops and fighting. He dared to take on the important task of rebelling against Tang Zi and raising a military army in Qiao County, which shows that he was extremely brave. But because of this, Xiu Ze was worried about the war in Lujiang. Li Te liked fame and fortune, pursued great achievements, and often fought with his own risk and fought with his life. Although he could get the wholehearted support of the soldiers, if he occupied it, he would inevitably suffer a heavy blow!

As soon as Wang Ji died, everyone would inevitably look down on other Wei generals, but their talents and abilities were not distinguished by popularity. Li Te himself had been in Hu Lei for a long time and had become arbitrary and self-concerned style. All this was incompatible with the current situation in Huai. If a mistake was captured by the Wei army, then the Shu army worked hard to launch riots in Qiao County and instigate Tang Zi and other things would be in vain.

Xiu Ze led his army to go urgently. In the middle of the journey, there were already a probe of the horse. Li Te and Li Han mobilized the defenders of Lujiang and Hefei to attack the Wei army, but they did not want to be plotted by the Wei army. Li Han died in battle. Li Te was trapped in Lujiang and was attacked by several times the Wei army! Xiu Ze sighed when he heard this, "Who is the general of Wei?"

The explorer said: "The Wei army in Shouchun was all out, Hu Guang led an army to besiege Lujiang, and Lu Qi led an army to besiege Hefei."

"Well... I'm passing our military order, and ask Xiuyun to quickly send troops to fight the Wei army in Jiangxia and explore the truth and report it!" Xiuze knew that it was difficult to solve the two urgent situations in Lujiang and Hefei with his hands. Under the circumstances, the situation had to order Xiuyun, who was ready to defend, to fight with the Wei army.

Two days later, fires suddenly broke out around Lujiang, and Xiu Ze drove his troops to set fire. Hu Guang arranged troops to guard against the Shu army in the city, and took the opportunity to conflict with more than 2,000 people to fight Xiu Ze. However, Xiu Ze had long since taken the fire and disappeared with the Shu army. Hu Guang was suspicious and could only withdraw his troops and take more defenses.

When the Shu army in the city saw a fire in the rear of the Wei people, they knew that it was Shu Han reinforcements who arrived. The morale of the army was boosted and held the city tightly under the supervision of Li Te. The Wei army actually had few troops. After a few days of fierce attack, the offensive began to slow down, waiting for subsequent reinforcements. The Wei general Hua Biao organized troops and food and supplies in Shouchun. Although there were no elite soldiers, the young and strong men who were temporarily called and organized could still have seven or eight thousand people. With these seven or eight thousand people, Hu Guang could divide his troops to attack the nearby Chengxian County as the place where the Wei army settled.

Unexpectedly, two more days later, more than 4,000 new recruits and a lot of money, grain and supplies were attacked by Shu Han general Xiu Ze on his way to Lujiang. The Wei generals led the troops and were killed by Xiu Ze as soon as they fought. The new recruits could not fight against the wind and were killed and fled in a hurry. The Shu army robbed money, grain and supplies and went there.

Hu Guang was furious when he heard this. The army had limited money and food, and wouldn't it be a waste of money and food stuck in the Shu army? But no one was the opponent of Xiu Ze. Even if the generals could resist Xiu Ze, Shouchun could not provide the troops to confront the Shu army. Even at this time, Hu Guang himself didn't know how many Shu army there were in Xiu Ze along this way.

The Shu army used to have more than 50,000 troops, but it was not known how many troops had been drawn to Xiangyang. However, based on the fact that Lujiang was besieged for several days and no Shu army came to rescue him, we probably knew that the Shu army had not had many troops. If Xiu Ze had held heavy troops, he would have to first remove the siege of Lujiang first. Why take a long way to cut off the Wei army's supplies so roundabout?

Thinking of this, Hu Guang felt at ease. The Shu army could only hide, obviously because it was insufficient. Although the Shu army was insufficient, the Wei army's food and supplies were also insufficient. Hu Guang was willing to divide his troops to ambush the Shu army, but he was worried that Li Te in the city would take the opportunity to attack. Li Te was a radical. Even if he was besieged by the Wei army, he would always bring hundreds of warriors to fight for the Wei army every now and then, so that Hu Guang would not dare to divide the troops.

In fact, there was no need to divide the troops. Hu Guang repeatedly left the city to attack sneakily, and Xiu Ze even led the Shu army to hide nearby, attacking the camp from time to time at night, making it difficult for the Wei army to rest. The supplies from Shouchun were too late to send, and this side was attacked by the Shu army from front to back. The Wei army was exhausted for several days.

The Shu army in Lujiang temporarily delayed the pace of the Wei army by relying on harassing tactics. The Wei army in Hefei was smooth sailing and soon captured Hefei City. Hefei defender Li Han brought almost all the troops in Hefei, and tried to give the Wei army a blow in the round. He did not want to succeed in the battle and died. It is not surprising that Hefei's troops were empty and fell under the strong attack of the Wei army. In fact, Feishuikou should have been stationed in the naval army, but the Shuhan navy also suffered most of the losses in the bloody battle of the Yangtze River. It also had to resist the Wei army in Guangling and divided its troops to support Xiangyang. In addition, Feishuikou was burned and had not been rebuilt, so no troops were left to help defend the city.

Li Te waited for an opportunity in the city, while Xiu Ze wandered around outside the city. The Wei army was finally overwhelmed, so Hu Guang led his army to retreat slowly. Li Te and Xiu Ze were overjoyed when they saw this. The Wei army was exhausted and retreated, so they joined forces to pursue the Wei army. Unexpectedly, they did not want to go far, Wei general Lu Qi led his army to come from behind, and Hu Guang in front also led his troops to turn around, and immediately formed a siege!

"You little guy, die!" Hu Guang was furious by Xiu Ze and Li Te. He took action without any mercy and cut down like a hurricane.

"If you fall into our plan, you won't surrender!" After Lu Qi captured Hefei, he was very energetic and led the Wei army to kill the Shu army's rear team. At this time, he also came to help with his gun!

Xiu Ze and Li Te did not answer when they saw this, and each waved their swords to fight, fighting with the Wei army! Hu Guang was born with divine power and superb sword skills. Now he was even more excited to design successfully. The swords and swords were life-threatening; Lu Qi came from a famous family, his guns were simple and tricky. Even if he was injured, he was even more brave at this time, and his guns were as hard as the King of Hell!

Li Te stepped forward and swung the sword to fight to the death of the rear army. The long sword swept across the Wei army, killing the flesh and blood. However, Lu Qi's spear was very tricky, and he felt the pressure doubled as soon as he fought. Although Lu Qi had little force, he cooperated with other Wei generals to fight Li Te for the time being and gained the upper hand.

Xiu Ze immediately fought with Hu Guang with a sword with a leap and refused to retreat. No matter how fierce Hu Guang's sword is, it is difficult to defeat Xiu Ze for a while. Hu Guang was shocked by Xiu Ze in secret, but he was very skilled in martial arts, but he did not know that Xiu had reached his limit at this time, his arms were numb and his strength gradually stopped.

During the night battle, both sides did not let blood fight each other. The Shu army did not want the Wei army to set up an ambush, but the Wei army could not understand why the Shu army was so strong. After several slashes, Hu Guang suddenly realized that it was not good. Unfortunately, it was too late. The shouts of killing were heard again. Xiu Yun, who had been lurking for a long time, came from the side with the Shu army...
