Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 308

Jiang Qi, Zhang Wu's guard, became more confident after Han Meng's reinforcements arrived. He recruited [-] fishermen from the coast as recruits to help defend the city, and sent out scouts every day to inquire about Liu and his men.

That day, he heard that soldiers from Youzhou had crossed the Zhang River and were heading towards Zhangwu, so Jiang Qi hurriedly discussed with Han Meng.

Han Meng laughed loudly and said: "I was worried that Liu He would not dare to send troops, and now I just happened to kill the enemy and make meritorious service."

Both of them were afraid that it would be difficult to defend the city when soldiers approached the city. Han Meng once boasted to Yuan Tan that he went to Haikou, so naturally he was not willing to defend the city. .

Just after the preparations were completed, the Youzhou soldiers had arrived. Han Meng came out in formation and saw the Youzhou soldiers' neat lineup and bright armor. He couldn't help but be secretly shocked. There were many armors that they didn't even equip centurions with, and he couldn't help but secretly envy them.

"Yuan Shao colluded with thieves, deceived the world and stole his name, you have not surrendered early, are you going to help the tyrant?"

Han Meng was sighing in front of the formation, when a general walked out of the opponent's formation, pointed a gun at himself and shouted loudly.

The future general is Han Xian, the leader of the Baibo army who was surrendered by Guan Yu. Now he has turned his back on his evil ways and become a general of officers and soldiers. At this time, he shouted in front of the battle, and suddenly felt full of confidence and awe-inspiring justice.

This time Xu Huang came to open the way for the vanguard, and Han Xian was the lieutenant general. He didn't want to fight at first, but he saw that there were not many people ahead. Han Xian knew that the opponent was also a vanguard soldier. This was his first battle after surrendering, and he wanted to show his hand.

Han Meng snorted coldly. Seeing this man's arrogance and lack of bearing, he knew he was a partial general. He shouted coldly and immediately rode out to kill him.

When Han Xian saw that the other party looked down upon him, he became furious and shot Han Meng with his gun. The two met and the outcome was indistinguishable.

At this moment, a group of troops suddenly appeared from behind. It was Jiang Qi who arrived with his troops. Seeing the stalemate on the battlefield, the Youzhou soldiers just shouted but were unprepared and led his troops to attack from the flank.

Han Xian was about to be defeated by Han Meng, and was about to retreat, when he suddenly saw the enemy rushing towards him, he hurriedly called several lieutenants to step forward to force Han Meng back, and led the troops to retreat.

Fortunately, the vanguard army led by Han Xian was all cavalry, scattered and retreated in the wilderness, and went far away in an instant. Han Meng and Jiang Qi chased and killed for a while, got some weapons, and returned to the camp victorious.

The second general won the victory. Although Han Meng complained that Jiang Qi ruined his good deeds, he still won the first battle. He celebrated his victory in the camp and sent someone to report to Yuan Tan.

Han Meng saw that the enemy general's martial arts were mediocre, and expected that the Youzhou soldiers would be captured and killed sooner or later because of their reputation, so he ignored them and rearranged the soldiers and horses in the camp, waiting for the Youzhou soldiers to come and defeat them in one fell swoop.

Han Siam retreated in embarrassment and met Xu Huang on the road. The two joined forces and stopped temporarily. The first battle was defeated and morale was hit again. Han Siam felt very guilty.

Xu Huang didn't take it seriously, after appeasing Han Xian for a while, he found out where Yuan Jun was, and set up camp in a selected place five miles forward, and strictly ordered all troops not to go out to fight privately, and was not in a hurry to march.

The next day, Han Meng, who had won a small victory for a while, was still not satisfied, and led his troops to fight outside the camp again, but Xu Huang just turned a deaf ear, only the archers were on guard, and there was no movement.

Seeing the tight defense of the enemy, Han Meng had no choice but to retreat. The next day, Jiang Qi went forward again. Xu Huang still did not move. He just strengthened the defense of the camp and arranged trenches and stakes.

For three days in a row, there was no enemy attack. Han Meng was very puzzled. He wanted to steal the camp, but he suffered from the openness of the surrounding area. The moon was bright and the wind was clear these days, and he had nowhere to hide, so he could only wait patiently.

Just as he was preparing to discuss with Jiang Qi to attack by force, he suddenly came to report that Guan Yu led the army from the north along the Zhang River to the east, all the way to the mouth of the sea.

Han Meng was shocked and said: "This must be a detour to steal Zhang Wu."

Jiang Qiyan said: "I don't want Guan Zhang to be called the enemy of ten thousand people, but dare not fight head-on. Let's go back to the city quickly."

Han Meng glanced at Ximian unwillingly, and said in a deep voice: "Since the enemy army is divided, Xu Huang will definitely send someone to monitor the camp. If you and I retreat, he will follow after us. Our army is in danger. You retreat first, and I will stop the rear!" "

Jiang Qi hurriedly divided his troops and retreated. Not long after he led his troops out of the camp, another horse came to report, and another group of Youzhou soldiers led the army to raid from the south.

Han Meng broke out in a cold sweat, and lost his voice, "Xu Huang hasn't seen anything for a few days, so he was waiting for reinforcements, trying to cut off my back, it's extremely abominable!"

In a hurry, he had to withdraw his troops quickly. If they were stopped outside the city, the open land on all sides would be divided and eaten away, and it would be difficult for Zhang Wu to keep it.

Just when he ordered the camp to retreat, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and Youzhou soldiers came in full armor, banners were unfurled in the wilderness, and two cavalry teams attacked the headquarters camp from left and right.

Seeing the menacing cavalry, Han Meng showed a trace of panic. He wanted to return to the army, but the cavalry pursued him very fast. If they attacked from behind, the entire army would be wiped out, so he had no choice but to fight hastily.

One of the first generals held a mountain ax and urged his horse to go straight to Han Meng, roaring angrily: "Son Han Meng, why don't you dismount and accept surrender?"

"Hmph!" Han Meng snorted coldly, and greeted him with a sword. Xu Huang dared not fight these days. He thought that the opponent was comparable to Han Xian, and as long as he killed this person, he could retreat in the chaos.

when--

Han Meng held Xu Huang with his knife horizontally, and there was a loud noise, which shook him physically and mentally on the horse, his tiger's mouth cracked, and his expression changed drastically.

The two horses staggered, Han Meng was still in shock, and shouted: "Who are you?"

Xu Huang raised his ax and shouted loudly: "Hedong Xu Huang is also!"

While speaking, he urged his horse to kill again, Han Meng had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight to the death. The two fought at the gate of the camp.

At this moment, there was a scream from behind Yuan Jun's camp. It was Han Siam who led the troops into the camp. This time he was guilty and meritorious, so naturally he didn't dare to be careless. He waited until Xu Huang made a move, and then shot from the side.

"Soldiers, Yuan Jun has been arrogant for a few days, let them see how powerful we are!"

Han Xian roared and rushed into the camp first, and all the Youzhou soldiers behind him also moved forward bravely. A few days ago, Han Meng blocked and shouted outside the camp, everyone held their breath, and now it was finally time for revenge.

Xu Huang had already killed Han Meng so that his helmet was crooked and his head was sweating profusely. Every time he struck down with the axe, he shouted loudly, "Are you going to surrender or not?"

Han Meng gritted his teeth and reluctantly supported himself, unwilling to admit defeat. A soldier can be killed but not humiliated. As a general, he would rather die in battle than surrender.

dang dang-

"No, no, no?"

Xu Huang slashed the ax three times in one breath, Han Meng finally couldn't stand it anymore, and the big knife came out from his hand, which made blood overflow from the corner of his mouth, and he wobbled unsteadily on the horse's back.

Just when he was about to draw his sword and continue to hold on, a horse suddenly flew diagonally, and saw a black shadow rushing towards him. Before he could react, he was hit hard, and the whole person rolled off the horse's back.

It turned out that it was Han Xian who rushed over. Seeing that Han Meng had lost his weapon, he jumped directly from the horse's back and knocked Han Meng off the horse.

The two tumbling on the ground, fell so that Han Meng's eyes gleamed golden, Han Xian turned over and pressed him to the ground, shouting: "Come on, tie him up!"

Seeing that Han Xian was so desperate, Xu Huang knew that he wanted to take the blame and make meritorious service, so he didn't fight, so he ordered him to stay and guard the camp, and lead his troops to chase and persuade the enemy to surrender.
