Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2228: Hou Yi draws his bow to kill the Golden Crow, Cun Xiao is the most fierce in the battle

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have to worry about the defense of the Jianghuai region.

The northern part of the Jianghuai region was Zhao Kuangyin's Xuzhou, and at that time, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang shared the same fate.

If there were no problems with Zhao Kuangyin, the Jianghuai region would be their rear base. With Xuzhou as a barrier, naturally no one could threaten the Jianghuai region.

However, no matter whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhao Kuangyin, who would have thought that the Central Plains War had just begun, and Zhao Kuangyin's base camp Xuzhou had already been lost.

But even at this time, there is no need to worry about the defense of the Jianghuai region!
After all, after Zhao Kuangyin lost Xuzhou, Liu Bei's troops had already marched towards Xuzhou. With Liu Bei's troops there, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not worry that Di Qing's troops would threaten the Jianghuai region from Xuzhou.

At that time, even Lu Kang's 30,000 troops were marching towards Xuzhou from the Jianghuai area.

But as Chen Qianzhi swept through Jiangdong, and as Di Qing and Liu Bei fought each other to a draw, Zhao Kuangyin had no hope at all in the Xuzhou area. At this time, the defense of the Jianghuai area became a priority issue for Zhu Yuanzhang and his men!
To the east of the Jianghuai region is the Jiangxia area of ​​Jingzhou, which can be said to be the western gate of the Jianghuai region. Faced with the problem of the emptiness of the Jianghuai region today, Xu Da consciously adjusted the original defense. Nanjun and Jiangxia counties now focus more on the defense of Jiangxia, and more troops are accumulated in Jiangxia.

At the same time, if there is a real threat to the Jianghuai region, Xu Da will inevitably transfer some troops from Jiangxia to the Jianghuai region, even if it means sacrificing some interests in northern Jing.

However, the situation in the Central Plains War developed faster than Xu Da had expected. His actions were still in progress, but Zhao Kuangyin's side had already collapsed.

Because of his adjustment in defense, Bai Qi seized the opportunity and temporarily let Jiangxia go. He led a small number of soldiers and horses disguised as a large army, as if he wanted to give priority to opening Jiangxia, the western gate of the Jianghuai region, and then attack the Jianghuai region.

But in fact, it was General Li Mu who mobilized the main forces to bite off the tough bone of Nanjun, and brought Nanjun back into the embrace of the Jin army once again.

Poor Li Mu, although he has made considerable contributions since joining the Jin army, each time he made contributions he basically got for free. Every time he met good teammates, he basically had to receive the fruits of victory from behind. This time he finally fought a tough battle independently!
In fact, it was not easy for Bai Qi to fight this battle in Jingbei.

The enemy army not only has a god-level commander like Xu Da, but also a god-level strategist like Yao Guangxiao.

这两个人配合之下，发挥出的可不仅仅只是1+1=2的效果，而是发挥出了1+1大于二的效果。

With these two people hiding in their shells, even if they were facing the cooperation of Bai Qi and Li Mu at the same time, they were like a copper wall and iron wall blocking their way. If it weren't for the impact of the Central Plains War, which forced them to adjust their defenses and exposed flaws, otherwise, Nanjun would not be so easy to bite off.

When Xu Da and Yao Guangxiao cooperate, they can achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two, but this does not mean that when Bai Qi and Li Mu cooperate, they can also achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

After these two people cooperated, not to mention that one plus one is greater than two, it can even be said that one plus one is less than two. After all, the overlap of these two people's abilities in all aspects is really high.

Two god-level commanders, when working together, are always stronger than one person in most cases, but it does not mean that two people working together will double their strength. Whether it is a commander or a counselor, when they reach the god-level, even if they are not perfect, it is difficult for them to have any flaws if objective conditions do not affect them.

The two men also have many generals under their command, including Lu Er, the best general of the Yangzhou Army, as well as god-level generals like Jiao Benzhong, Zhang Xiantu, and Yao Zilin.

Although they were generally no match for Li Cunxiao, Fei Peng, Tan Tai Yu, Mo Yuan, Bai Jue and other god-level warriors, they did not easily fight with Li Cunxiao and his men and defended the city peacefully. With them around, they were in a commanding position and Li Cunxiao and his men had no chance of climbing up the city wall easily.

Li Cunxiao fought with Lu Er, the most powerful general of the Yangzhou army, several times in the battles, but he never gained any advantage.

If it was a fair fight, Li Cunxiao would certainly not be afraid of him. But Lu Er did not fight him fairly at all. Every time Li Cunxiao was about to climb up the city wall, Lu Er would smash down the wall with a stick, and several times in a row, Li Cunxiao was almost knocked down by the ladder.

However, Hou Yi, who had the advantage of long arms, caused a lot of headaches for the Yangzhou army during this period.

Zhu Yuanzhang's clan general Zhu Can was also a fierce general in the army, but he did not have the chance to show off his power in this battle. As soon as he showed his head on the city wall, Houyi shot an arrow through his head and nailed him to the city wall.

Xia Yan, the prefect of Nanjun under Zhu Yuanzhang, personally went up to the city wall to boost the morale of the troops, but because he failed to protect himself properly, he was shot and killed on the spot by Houyi under the city wall.

There is also Ji Ling, who had defected from Yuan Shu. In recent years, he has been suspected because of Pei Xingjian and others. In addition, his own ability is relatively insufficient, so he has never been valued by Zhu Yuanzhang.

He originally wanted to perform well on the battlefield in Jingbei, but he ended up dying before he could accomplish anything. He was shot dead by Houyi during a siege.

Ying Bu, a general who had been famous for more than ten years, managed to survive Hou Yi's arrow, but he was blinded by Hou Yi. Now, he has become a one-eyed dragon.

However, he turned a disaster into a blessing. In the midst of life and death crisis, he finally broke through to the next step and entered a new realm.

Ying Bu was one of the earliest generals to be born, and he was at the peak of his powers when he was born, with a basic strength of 105 points. However, he had made no progress over the years. It was not until this time that he finally took that step.

In the first battle, Lu Ya's nephews also performed very well in the Battle of Jingbei. With the cooperation of five people, even the god-level general Fei Peng could not do anything to them.

However, after Jiangxia City was captured, they failed to break out in time. Except for the youngest Jin Shi, the remaining four of them were killed by Houyi's long arrows.
