In the direction of Lu'an, there were constant shouts of killing.

Accompanied by the violent explosion, a faint light of fire soared into the sky.

A team of cavalry rushed in the drizzle... When they reached about forty or fifty miles away from Lu'an, the cavalry slowly slowed down.

A general in charge strangled his horse and raised his eyes to investigate the surroundings.

"General, why stop?"

A strange look appeared in the general's eyes, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "The three armies dismount and form formation to prepare for war."

This cavalry was obviously undergoing strict training. Although he did not understand what was going on, the military orders were like mountains. After the general's shouts sounded, he jumped off his war horse and formed a round formation on the spot. At the same time, the rumbling sound of war drums came from afar. The cavalry soldiers quickly lit up pine lights in the wilderness. Under the light of the fire, they saw teams of Jiangdong soldiers wearing green jackets walking out of the darkness.

The soldiers of Jiangdong, like ghosts, quickly came to the front of the formation and stabilized their positions.

Under the Daqian, a general straddled a white horse, holding a sword, and rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Zhang Wenyuan, Zhou Yu is here, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

In the cavalry formation, there was no sound.

A moment later, the leading general urged the horse forward, "He said that Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang was unparalleled in wisdom and strategy, and he saw it today and it was indeed worthy of his reputation."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, "General Wenyuan, the situation in Lu'an is now out. If you want to rush to help, it may be too late."

He paused for a moment, and his voice suddenly turned high, "Jiangdong and Uncle Liu have always had friendships, and they have cooperated more before, just like brothers. Why did he suddenly send troops to Jiangdong? Uncle Liu's move is too heartbreaking."

"The governor of Zhou, all the kings under the heavens are the kings. All the kings are the kings and ministers in the shores of the earth.

Jiangdong was originally under the rule of the Han Dynasty. Sun Zhongmou was not in the court. He proclaimed himself the Marquis of Wu, which was like a rebellion. The Prime Minister attacked Jiangdong, which was a storm on behalf of the heavens. How could it be a heartbreaking statement? As for brothers... Hahaha, I remember that when Wen Hou retreated to Guangling, the Prime Minister and Sun Bofu had an agreement to support each other. For this reason, the Prime Minister even sent all the food stored in Guangling to Sun Bofu. Why did Jiangdong suddenly join forces with Cao Cao to attack my prime minister?"

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he sneered: "If the brothers are just betray each other, then this kind of brother will not do it."

Zhou Yu heard that his jade face turned red and his words were a little exhausted.

What Zhang Liao said was at the end of the third year of Jian'an. At that time, Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, and Liu Chuang sent troops from Beihai Kingdom to help. That battle was the first time that Liu Chuang had a great defeat in his life. Lu Bu had to retreat to Guangling, while Liu Chuang took over Lu Bu's men. At that time, in order to escape, Liu Chuang made an alliance with Jiangdong, and sent Jiangdu's food and grass to Jiangdong, so as to borrow Jiangdong's ships to retreat. However, after Cao Cao's troops arrived in Guangling, Sun Ce suddenly changed his mind and was eager to try to join forces with Cao Cao to attack Liu Chuang, which made Liu Chuang finally go to Xudu.

Zhou Yu also participated in this matter and even planned it.

Later, when Sun Ce was killed, Sun Quan sent someone to western Liaoning, and Liu Chuang did not mention this matter again.

But not mentioning this matter does not mean that Liu Chuang has forgotten this matter... Not only did Liu Chuang not forget it, but Zhang Liao and others also kept it in mind, and even regarded it as a life-threatening humiliation and dare not forget it.

"General Zhang, one time and another..."

"The governor of Zhou also knew that there were one time and another. Sun Quan of Jiangdong had the intention of being a disobedient, and even planned to murder his brother, who was unfaithful, filial, and unkind. Such people secretly occupied Jiangdong, which would sooner or later be a trouble for the Han Dynasty. If the governor was smart, he should fight back and join in the righteous act, rather than blocking the heavenly soldiers from the east here, it was actually aiding the evil and would be abandoned by the people of the world in the future."

Zhou Yu originally planned to persuade Zhang Liao, but he didn't want to be scolded by Zhang Liao to blush.

He was very angry and drew his sword to point at Zhang Liao and said, "Zhang Wenyuan, I think you are a hero, so I kindly advise you.

But you are ungrateful and don’t even see that you are now in the turtle.

Since that's the case, don't blame someone for being ruthless and the three armies obey orders and beat me the drums."

In the drizzle, the rumbling drums suddenly sounded.

Teams of Jiangdong Ruiz launched a charge towards the Han army amid the neat sound of war drums.

Zhang Liao retreated back to the formation, holding a shield to resist the eagle that shot from the Jiangdong army, but there was no panic on his face.

I have seen a more steeper situation than this, so why not be afraid of you, Mei Zhoulang.

Seeing that Jiangdong soldiers approaching and were still dozens of steps away from the Han army formation, Zhang Liao suddenly shouted loudly: "Thunting your hand, ignite the fire."

The Han soldiers standing in the second row immediately took out the tubular items from their bodies and lit the leads with fire folds.

"Throw!"

The Han soldiers threw out the items in their hands amid the call, while the Han soldiers standing in front raised a large shield and hid behind the shield. Immediately afterwards, a series of loud noises came, hundreds of heavenly thunder and fire exploded in front of the formation, and the Jiangdong soldiers who were rushing in front were fumbled into blood and blood by the heavenly thunder and fire, and their corpses were all over the ground.

The heavenly thunder fire used by the Han army has undergone countless improvements.

After refining again and again, the power of gunpowder also increases a lot...

If the Tianlei Fire used in Guanjin Liu Chuang for the first time was just the prototype of gunpowder, then the gunpowder now has basically reached the perfect form of black gunpowder. After countless experiments and countless improvements, the size of Tianlei Fire is also shrinking. From the initial launch of the bed crossbow, to now it can be carried with you.

The heavenly thunder fire used by Zhang Liao is more similar to the grenades of later generations.

Its power is far less powerful than the sky thunder fire fire launched by the bed crossbow, but it is as powerful as the lethality in close combat.

To this end, Liu Chuang specially trained a group of throwing hands.

Choose the kind of soldiers who are strong and throw far away to train, and each person carries three heavenly thunder fires.

Zhou Yu did not expect that Zhang Liao had such a surprise soldier... Unexpectedly, more than 200 Jiangdong soldiers died under the sky thunder fire. The effect of the sky thunder fire also greatly shocked the Jiangdong soldiers. If Zhou Yu had not strictly governed the army, it would have been said that after these three rounds of Tianlei Fire, the entire Jiangdong soldiers would have been completely defeated...

"hiss!"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but take a breath.

Speaking of which, Jiangdong at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was a relatively closed and conservative area.

Metaphysics is prevalent in Jiangdong, which is stronger than pure talk and does not focus on practicality. Although Jiangdong's handicraft manufacturing industry is very developed, there are also places such as Wushu, which are the saints of sword making, but if we pay attention to handicraft industry and technology, it is even less than that of Xichuan and Bashu.

Xichuan's shipbuilding industry is well-known.

As early as the pre-Qin period, Xichuan built an invincible naval army for the Qin Dynasty with its powerful shipbuilding industry.

And Jiangdong...

Zhou Yu had heard of Tianlei Fire before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, nor had he experienced it personally. The reason why he chose to attack on a rainy night was to guard against the Han army's sky thunder fire. However, he did not expect that the Han army had solved the problem of moisture and carrying Tianlei Fire. Once this problem was solved, the application level of Tianlei Fire would inevitably increase on a large scale.

This time the Jiangdong Army was attacked by Tianlei Fire, which is a proof.

There was a sudden ominous sign in Zhou Yu's heart.

The Han army was obviously prepared. Logically speaking, even if he rushed to help, he would not carry such thunder and fire. But just when Zhou Yu was hesitating, the Han army suddenly launched an attack.

A general rode out. A prairie fire was burning under his crotch and a big gun in his palm.

"Ma Chao of Xiliang is here. The Jiangdong child is not awarded his title yet!"

Ma Chao?

Zhou Yu was shocked and his first reaction was, how could Ma Chao be here?

But this situation did not give him time to consider. Ma Chao took the lead in rushing into the Jiangdong Army formation, with a big gun flying, and only killed the Jiangdong soldiers and generals in a mess. Behind Ma Chao were three thousand infantrymen. The three thousand infantry all asked for leave, big shields and long swords. Five people in groups, five groups and one team, five groups and one small array, five small arrays and one large array, and rushed into the Jiangdong Army with a whistling.

Although there are masters of sword-making in Jiangdong, it does not mean that the soldiers and soldiers have excellent weapons.

In fact, in the past few years, the weapons of the Jiangdong Army were almost supplied by Liaodong, and most of the weapons used were eliminated by the Han army. The sword and shield soldiers had unparalleled lethality in this era. Historically, Sun Quan strengthened the development of weapons in the later period and developed the steel sword of 1000 steel. When the Western Jin Dynasty invaded Jiangdong, there was a time when three thousand Jiangdong sword and shield soldiers occurred. Facing the Jin army ten times more than him, they killed the Jin army to a defeat.

The sword and shield soldiers that appeared only at the end of the Three Kingdoms appeared on the Lujiang battlefield almost decades ahead of schedule.

The long swords in the hands of the three thousand swords of the shield soldiers are all made of steel knives, which are also the result of the Shijiutuo Workshop developed over several years.

This sword and shield soldier is called the "Hundred Refining Elite Soldier".

On the one hand, it is because the long swords used by this man are all made of steel swords; on the other hand, it also means to become a savage of craftsmanship. Its combat power is no less than that of Liu Chuang's five elites. Originally, one was commanded by Liu Chuang, but after Ma Chao went there before and officially surrendered to Liu Chuang, Liu Chuang handed the elite troops under Ma Chao's command.

The weapons in the hands of the Jiangdong soldiers could not even stop the other party from slashing.

The front army suddenly became in chaos, and Zhou Yu's face turned pale.

He was about to order the central army to attack, but suddenly he saw a scout coming in a mess.

"Governor, something big is not good!"

"What's the matter panic?"

"General Ling Cao was buried in Lu'an, and his entire army was wiped out... Now the Han army in Lu'an is divided into three groups and has been killed from behind."

"What?"

Zhou Yu was about to ask in detail, but another surveyer came to report: "Governor, the big thing is not good... I found a Han army appeared on the left wing, which was only fifty miles away from us and was approaching quickly. Judging from its banner, it should be Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai."

By this time, if Zhou Yu still doesn't understand what happened, then he really deserves Zhou Lang's reputation.

Being fooled!

The so-called mismatch between generals and generals was just a play played by Guo Jia and Zhang Liao. The purpose was to lure Zhou Yu into the trap... Thinking of this, Zhou Yu did not dare to hesitate anymore. Once the Han army surrounded him from three sides, he would face the annihilation of the entire army.

"Transfer orders, withdraw troops."

Although Zhou Yu was unwilling to say these two words, he had to order a retreat due to the situation.

At this time, Zhang Liao also led his troops to launch a charge. Zhang Liao and Ma Chao are all tiger generals. The two joined forces to fight, which also caused the troops and horses of Jiangdong to be defeated immediately.

In the dark night, Zhou Yu walked in a panic, and along the way, he saw the fleeing Jiangdong soldiers and horses being chased by the Han army.

Ma Dai, Li Dian, Xiao Ling, and Tai Shixiang advanced together, while Zhang Liao and Ma Chao led their troops to pursue... It was dawn that the battle had just stopped, from Lu'an to Chaohu. Along the way, there were only groups of prisoners of Jiangdong army, and corpses were everywhere.

Ma Chao stopped his horse and summoned the elite soldiers of the hundreds of refinements.

After a fierce battle overnight, more than one hundred soldiers were killed or injured in three thousand elite soldiers, which shows their combat effectiveness.

Not to mention Ma Chao, even Zhang Liao was a little jealous. Looking at the team of majestic elites, he couldn't help but say, "The lord is too partial, but I don't know when my troops will be equipped with this Hundred Refining Divine Soldier. Meng Qi, if you get this sharp man, you should be very vain."

"Hahaha!"

After hearing this, Ma Chao felt very happy.

He had decided to change his mindset before, but to be honest, he was always uncomfortable.

But now...
To be continued...
