The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 132: Cai Mao's Disastrous Defeat in the Wuling War

In the next battle in Tang Zuocheng, Wen Pin, the first general under Jingzhou's command, faced off against Huang Gai, and the two battled for forty rounds to a draw.

The soldiers of the two armies are like meat grinders. Zhou Yu's army has better equipment, equipped with many large sculls, and the iron shield formation is stronger in defense.

Cai Mao's army was superior in numbers. There were [-] troops on the left and right wings alone, which was twice as many as Zhou Yu's army, not to mention Cai Mao's middle army behind him.

Cai Mao was in the middle of the army, seeing that Zhou Yu was evenly matched with Wenpin and Zhang Yun, he was surprised by Zhou Yu's army's combat effectiveness.

However, Cai Mao thought for a moment and concluded that it might have been caused by Zhou Yu fighting behind the city and forcibly raising the morale of the army.

Cai Mao decided to win the decisive battle in one fell swoop, and ordered Wang Wei to lead [-] troops to press on, leaving [-] Chinese troops as a monitoring team.

"Nuo" Wang Wei didn't think too much, and led eight thousand soldiers to press forward in one fell swoop. The Chinese army's charge this time was not hindered by the rain of arrows.

It rushed forward very smoothly to meet Wenpin and Zhang Yun's former army, and Cai Mao's army wave after wave like a tide.

Zhou Yujun, on the other hand, resisted Cai Maojun's attacks time and time again against the stubborn stone.

The soldiers holding the big oars from the front army fell down, followed by the soldiers holding the iron shields, and the soldiers with the iron shields fell and the leather shield soldiers followed.

As long as there is a chance for a thunder strike, it can pierce two Cai Mao soldiers with one blow. Of course, the super long spear will become useless once it is close.

These soldiers don't have Zhang Fei's martial arts skills. Such a long weapon can dance vigorously. What's more, this spear is longer than Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear, so they can only discard the spear and take off the waist to fight.

The two armies fought fiercely for about two hours, and Zhou Yu even suppressed his own personal guard battalion, serving as the inspector team to prevent the army from being defeated, leaving only Sun He and a team of personal guards to guard.

Zhou Yu looked behind Cai Maojun from time to time, as if anxiously waiting for something.

After another half an hour, a Sun Ce army of about 6000 people suddenly appeared behind Cai Hao's army. Two large banners in the army were embroidered with Cheng and Han, and they were rushing towards Cai Hao with a rapid march at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There are two generals in the lead, one of them is dragging a large iron sword, and the other is holding a zhangba iron ridge snake spear, riding a horse to charge forward!

Don't get me wrong, although the weapons are very similar, these two are not Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but Cheng Pu and Han Dang, Sun Ce's generals!
Of course, Cai Hao couldn't hide such a big movement!
Cai Mao looked back, dumbfounded, how is it possible!

Then Cai Hao said furiously, "Are all the scouts dead? You let the enemy army be behind our army! And it's so close that we haven't found it yet?"

Even so, Cai Mao did not have no chance. If the general commanding the army at this time was Wenpin, he would decisively order the two thousand soldiers around him to step forward and form a circular formation.

Resist the attacks of Cheng Pu and Han Dang, and when Zhou Yu's army is defeated, the victory will still belong to Liu Biao's army.

It's a pity that the marshal in charge of Liu Biao's army at this time is not a good general like Wenpin!It's Cai Mao who is greedy for life and afraid of death!
After Cai Mao saw Fang Fangpu and Han Dang leading their troops, they retreated to the northwest with two thousand soldiers without any resistance!

Cai Mao didn't even inform Wenpin, Zhang Yun, and Wang Wei, who were fighting in the former army, that Cai Mao completely abandoned this army.

When Zhou Yu saw Cheng Pu and Han Dang coming, Cai Mao hurriedly withdrew his troops, and the corners of his mouth rose up on his fair face. This battle was won!
Zhou Yu shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived! Brothers, kill! Cai Mao is defeated! Cai Mao is defeated!"

Many soldiers in Sun Ce's army saw Cheng Pu and Han Dang, and their morale rose instantly!
And Wenpin, Zhang Yun, and Wang Wei were still surprised that Zhou Yu had arrived with reinforcements?How could there be reinforcements?
Could it be that Liu Pan was defeated, and Sun Ce brought his own troops to help?Impossible, did not receive any message?
When I looked back, I saw Cheng Pu and Han Dang, and when I looked around, I found that Cai Mao's 2000-strong Chinese army was retreating to the northwest.

Even Cai Maojun's big flag was gone, and only after seeing Liu Biao's uniform from a distance did they know it was Cai Maojun, and the three of them were shocked.

When Cheng Pu and Han Dang attacked from the rear, they knew that the battle would be defeated, and that the entire army might be wiped out, and the way back would definitely be cut off!
The three generals Wenpin, Zhang Yun, and Wang Wei were all like this, and the soldiers were even more terrified. The main general is the soul of the three armies.

Now that the soul was gone, there was no need to fight. Suddenly, the army broke out and fled in all directions. Wenpin, Zhang Yun, and Wang Wei saw that their defeat was certain, so they had no choice but to flee to the northwest with their respective cronies.

You must know that at this time, Cheng Pu and Han Dang rushed to the battlefield with a large army, and they might not be able to escape Shengtian even if they were encircled by both sides.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, laughed and ordered: "Sun He led a thousand soldiers to gather the surrendered troops, and the whole army attacked, chasing and killing the enemy! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Cheng Pu and Han Dang rode very fast. Cai Hao fled when he saw them appearing, and did not stop Wenpin, Zhang Yun, and Wang Wei from retreating to the northwest.

Being blocked on the flank by the troops of Cheng Pu and Han Dang, Zhou Yu also ordered the whole army to attack.

Wenpin, Zhang Yun, and Wang Wei had no choice but to cut off their tails to survive and rush out before they were surrounded. The competition at this time was not how many enemies they killed, but the competition was that if they outperformed their teammates, there would be hope for survival!

Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Xu Yi, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang all pursued him for hundreds of miles. Fortunately, in Jingzhou, everyone had no horses and ran on two legs.

Otherwise, he would be chased by four legs and would never be able to escape Zhou Yujun’s pursuit.

From this road to the north, there is only a fork, one leads to Huarong Trail, and the other leads to the official road of Cai Mao and Cheng Pu's march, but it takes a big circle to escape north.

Cai Mao fled so fast that the two thousand soldiers did not participate in the battle. He had enough energy to run for a whole day. When he could no longer run, he stopped and waited for the fleeing soldiers.

Although Cai Mao left Wenpin, Zhang Yun, and Wang Wei behind on the battlefield, he still waited for the three of them when he was resting.

If only Cai Mao was left and fled back to Jingzhou with the remaining army, Liu Biao would not harm him for the sake of the Cai family.

However, it will be impossible to get involved in the military power in the future. Liu Biao really wants to take back the military power of the Cai family. With Wen Pin, Zhang Yun, and Wang Wei together, they can share the blame of the defeat and minimize the impact of the defeat.

But Wenpin, Zhang Yun, and Wang Wei escaped with their tails cut off, and each fled while fleeing. All the fleeing soldiers wished they could grow a leg.

After Zhou Yu led the army to chase and kill for about a hundred miles, he gathered the surrendered troops, rectified the soldiers and horses, etc. After all, they fought for a day, except for the new force of Cheng Pu and Han Dang.

Zhou Yu's own army is still very depleted, but this does not mean that Zhou Yu will let Cai Mao go. The real killing move has not yet been triggered by Cai Hao and others, and they are just waiting for Cai Hao, Wenpin, Zhang Yun, and Wang Wei to plunge in!
