In Huangzhou, the current county headquarters had been changed into Lü Bu's barracks.
"You're saying that Huang Zhong and the others didn't come to Huangzhou?!" Lü Bu frowned. The most important thing in this battle was to take down Huang Zhong and Huang She. Although they took down Huangzhou and defeated the Jiangxia Army, these were not what Lü Bu wanted.
If it was just to take down Huangzhou, Lü Bu would have already attacked the city.
"Yes!" Gao Shun nodded. He didn't like to talk and he meant what he said. The entire retreat to Huangzhou was blocked by Gao Shun. Huang Zhong and Huang She didn't arrive, but many deserters were captured by Gao Shun.
Without Huang She, the Lvbu's Army's next plan would be greatly reduced. Moreover, this battle had completely offended Jiangxia. No, it should be said that he had offended the entire Jingzhou. If Jiangxia was attacked, Jingzhou would definitely send reinforcements. It would be difficult for him to pass through Xinye.
"Gao Shun, you can go. Choose a camp in Huangzhou!" Lü Bu waved his hand and sent Gao Shun away. He still had to think about how to deal with Liu Biao and Sun Ce in Jingzhou.
Just as he was about to take off his armor, the sound of war drums came from outside.
"Who's beating the drums? What's going on?! "Lü Bu's gaze sharpened. This was the sound of war drums, the sound of an attack.
"Reporting, reporting to my lord, outside Huangzhou City, the Jiangxia Navy is attacking!" A messenger rushed in and reported to Lü Bu while panting.
"Jiangxia Navy?!" Lü Bu was puzzled. He had already defeated Jiangxia's army. Although the Jiangxia Navy was strong, without the cooperation of the army, the Lvbu's Army couldn't defeat them. Similarly, the army couldn't do anything to Lü Bu.
"Follow me to the city wall!" Lü Bu walked directly to the city wall. Half a day ago, the one standing on the city wall was still the energetic young master Huang She. Half a day later, it was the Lvbu's Army.
Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, and Chen Gong were all there.
"Is it the Jiangxia Army's Navy?!" Lü Bu asked.
"Yes, my lord!" Chen Gong replied. Jiang Xia was the only Navy in Huangzhou City. The Lvbu's Army was all landlubbers. They didn't even know how to swim, let alone a Navy. The turrets, Mengchong, Buge, and Chi Ma on the river were all the Navy of the Jiangxia Army.
"They don't have any soldiers on foot. Do they still want to use the Navy to attack the city?!" Zang Ba said with disdain.
Although Huangzhou City was near the river, it couldn't be attacked by the Navy alone. Moreover, there was the Lvbu's Army in Huangzhou City.
As if in response to Zang Ba's words, on the waters outside of Huangzhou, these Jiangxia's navy anchored. From the top of the ship, a few small boats were released. In addition to the Meng Chong, the boats, and the Chi Ma, one after another, the Jiangxia's navy went ashore.
"Are they crazy?!" When Chen Deng was in Xuzhou, he was in charge of the Navy. He even had conflicts with Jiang Xia's Navy. The reason why Jiang Xia's Navy could move freely on the river was because he was on the water. Once the Navy came ashore, they would be no match for ordinary soldiers on foot.
Moreover, the Navy wore light armor so that they could float to the surface when they fell into the water. It was not a big problem for them to fight on the water. However, once they came ashore, they would be at a great disadvantage.
Now, the Jiangxia Navy was going to attack the city.
Five thousand remaining navy soldiers attacking a city guarded by twenty thousand soldiers? Were they courting death? Or were they joking?
"Since you dare to come, then don't leave!" Originally, Lü Bu planned to capture Huang She and then sell Huang Zu to Jiang Xia. After all, Huang She was Huang Zu's son. His son would tell Huang Zu that the Lvbu's Army was not malicious to Jiang Xia. They just wanted to pass through and even alert Huang Zu. Sun Ce had already started to act and let Huang Zu be prepared. But now, Huang She was missing. He might have escaped or died. This caused problems between Jiang Xia and the Lvbu's Army.
Since they had already offended Jiang Xia, they might as well offend him completely.
"Milord, Zhang Liao requests for battle!" Zhang Liao quickly cupped his fist and said. Although he defeated Jiang Xia's Army in the previous battle, the merit was not his. It was Zang Ba who took the merit. Although Zhang Liao was not jealous, he was competitive. The Jiangxia Navy was giving him the merit!
"Milord, Zang Ba requests for battle too!" If the 5,000 Navy soldiers were in the river, Zang Ba might not be able to do anything to them. But now that they were on the shore, they were waiting to be slaughtered. Who would not want this merit?
"Xuan Gao, your troops are all surrendered soldiers. How are you going to fight?" Zhang Liao exposed.
"Wen Yuan, your Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is not suitable to fight here!"
"Xuan Gao, don't you already have the merit? Give it to me!"
"Wen Yuan, I want to train my troops!" No one would complain about having more merit.
The two of them were arguing. Gao Shun was the calmest. He did not argue and just did his duty.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Chen Deng walked out and interrupted the two of them. "Generals, don't argue. Let Deng fight this time!"
"How can this be!" The two of them said in unison. "You are not a general. Why are you here?"
"That's right, that's right! You don't even have the strength to truss a chicken! "
One was not a military general, and the other was weak. This made Chen Deng's face full of black lines. How was he, Chen Deng, not a military general? How was he weak? Wasn't he just a little bit fairer? Wasn't he just a little more delicate than them?
But no matter what, Chen Deng was still a general. He was just a scholarly general.
"Alright, alright. Stop arguing. Each of you will send out a thousand soldiers. Whoever kills the general first will get the merit!" Five thousand navy soldiers that left the water? That would only be five thousand dazzling merit points.
"Go, let's go!"
A thousand soldiers per person versus five thousand. On the surface, it seemed like the Lvbu's Army was at a disadvantage. But in reality, they only needed a thousand soldiers to defeat the five thousand navy soldiers.
The three of them rushed down the city walls to gather their troops. They were afraid that they would lose the merit if they were late.
"Reporting to General, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry has been assembled!"
"General, the Taishan Army is ready!"
"Young Master, our Guangling Army is ready to move out!"
"Good!" The three of them said in unison. "Everyone, get out of the city and prepare for battle!"
"Kakaka!" Huangzhou City's drawbridge was slowly lowered. The three thousand soldiers walked out of the city walls.
The flags of Zhang, Zang, and Chen fluttered in the wind.
"Xuan Gao, I will definitely get the merit this time!" Zhang Liao said as he waved the sword in his hand.
"Hmph, Wen Yuan, don't be too proud. I am not as good as you on horseback. But you still have a lot to learn from me when it comes to fighting on foot!" Zang Ba also mocked him.
"I already said that the two of you should stop arguing. This merit is mine!" Chen Deng did not want to be outdone. Who would have thought that Zang Ba and Zhang Liao would turn around and shout, "Shut up, gigolo!" This was the nickname that Liu Mang gave to Chen Deng.
"Oh my god!" If Chen Deng could speak Liu Mang's language, he would definitely say this.
"Then let's compete. How about a month's salary?" Chen Deng was almost angered to death by these two idiots. If he did not teach them a lesson, they would not know how powerful Old Master Deng was.
"Gigolo, do you think that you can't spend the money?"
"What? You two don't dare?" Chen Deng provoked.
"Of course, why wouldn't we dare? You are giving us money to drink. Why wouldn't we dare?"
"Then let's go!" The three of them were in high spirits. Zang Ba wanted to get more merit to make up for the previous loss. Zhang Liao wanted to get the merit, and Chen Deng wanted to become the core of the Lvbu's Army. The competition between the three of them was intense.
On the gate tower, Lu Bu did not know about these three people's bet. He looked at the three people leaving and suddenly asked. "Where is Hanyang?!"
"Hanyang?" Chen Gong was stunned. After entering Huangzhou City, Chen Gong was very busy. He did not pay attention to where Liu Mang was.
"Hanyang, there is another way!" Gao Shun said concisely.
"Another path?!" Lü Bu hesitated. He looked at the three of them who were in high spirits. He suddenly felt that the three of them were going to have a tragedy.
"Phew!" Chen Deng took a deep breath. After he helped the Lvbu's Army out of the encirclement of Cao Jun in Xiapi, Chen Deng was not able to go to the battlefield again. He did not get anything from the battle of Mt. Bagong.
Now, this long-lost feeling made Chen Deng excited. He was a Confucian General who was good at scheming. However, it did not mean that he was not bloodthirsty. A Confucian General was still a General.
The cold feeling of the steel spear in his hand made Chen Deng even more high-spirited. "Old man, it's been a long time. I haven't let you drink blood for a long time. Today, let's have a taste of it!"
"Xuan Gao, gigolo, you want to rob me, Wen Yuan of the first merit? You are still far from it!" Zhang Liao was the commander-in-chief of the most elite Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in the Lvbu's Army. Although it was an enviable position, after he became the commander-in-chief, Zhang Liao also lost a lot of things. Cavalry was a group charge. Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was a pack of wolves. Unless one's martial arts reached the level of Lü Bu, it would be difficult for one to stand out.
Now that there was such a rare opportunity, how could Zhang Liao give it up?
"Two days ago, I met a fly. Today, I will let your Grandpa Xuan Gao use your blood to wash away this bad luck! Two months of salary. Hehe, there will be good wine to drink! " Zang Ba grinned. His martial arts were better than Zhang Liao's, so naturally, he was full of confidence.
Seeing the Jiangxia Navy getting closer and closer, the three of them held their weapons. "Soldiers, listen to my order! Follow me …! "
Before they could say the word 'kill', the three of them were stuck there. The corners of their mouths could not help but twitch. They forcibly held back the word 'kill'.
The Jiangxia Navy suddenly dispersed. In the Central Army of the Navy, a person that people liked and hated appeared in front of everyone.
Liu Mang!!
Liu Mang, who was ordered by Lü Bu to intercept Huang Zhong and Huang She, appeared in the Jiangxia Navy.
Could it be that Liu Mang was kidnapped by the Jiangxia Navy? If Liu Mang's life was used as a threat, the Lvbu's Army would not dare to act rashly! (PS: It will be published on Friday! There will definitely be a plot that you will not expect before it is published! Don't worry, since I have dug a hole, I will naturally fill it!
