Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 208: Tragic ambush!

Lu Meng and others nodded, agreeing with this point.

Cheng Pu sighed and said slowly: "Although we have the advantage of geographical location, there is one thing we have to consider, and that is the morale of Jiangdong."

"Because of the defeat in the Battle of Chibi and the defeats in several previous battles, our army now has a fear of Cao's army. If we meet on the battlefield, we will be defeated without starting a battle."

"So, we have to find ways to improve our morale so that we can deal with Cao's army!"

Lu Meng frowned and agreed: "The old general is right. If this continues, no matter what we do, we will never be able to defeat Cao's army."

"If you want to boost morale, you have to win a few victories."

Lu Xun smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Then we might as well use a trick to lure the enemy and use our control of the terrain to lure Cao's army to attack."

"In this way, it will not only improve the morale of our army, but also sharpen the edge of Cao's army!"

Everyone discussed in low voices, and then unanimously agreed that this plan was feasible!

"Yes, since Cao Jun dares to come, we must let them know that we have the final say in the land of Jiangdong!" Gan Ning snorted coldly, his eyes filled with anger.

Lu Meng immediately took out the map and began to discuss with everyone.

"Xu Sheng, Gan Ning, go and ambush here!" Lu Meng pointed to a ravine on the map.

Lu Xun's face was full of smiles: "This place is indeed good. As long as Cao Jun enters it, we can cut off their retreat and attack from both front and rear!"

Lu Meng nodded and said: "Yes, I think you are the best candidate to lure the enemy!"

Lu Xun understood immediately.

"Understood, leave this task to me!"

The land of Jiangdong.

Cao Hong, Le Jin, and Yu Jin were leading five thousand soldiers and horses to conduct a sweep.

There was a large army behind them, so the three of them had no scruples at all.

Because Cao Cao had an order to encroach on Jiangdong bit by bit, they did not advance very fast. They had to fully control every place they reached before they continued to advance.

But Jiangdong's troops retreated again and again.

"Haha, I think Jiangdong is really a bunch of rats, and they don't dare to fight with our army at all!"

Cao Hong was in a good mood. At this rate, it seemed that it wouldn't take long to completely pacify Jiangdong.

Yu Jin has a strict temperament, and he is also unsmiling at this moment.

"General, it's better to be careful. This is Jiangdong after all, and we are not familiar with it."

Cao Hong snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? Everyone in Jiangdong is just a bunch of shrunken turtles. I heard that Sun Quan asked juniors like Lu Meng and Lu Xun to come here. Do you think they can save Jiangdong? It's a joke!"

While the three of them were talking, a troop suddenly appeared in front of them. They seemed to be a scout troop that came to inquire about the news. There were hundreds of people.

The leader was a young and handsome young general.

"That person is...Lu Xun?"

Le Jin's body suddenly trembled. Lu Xun seemed to be the only such young general in Jiangdong. It seemed that he was bringing people one after another to inquire about the situation, but he didn't want to meet them.

The three of them immediately realized that this was a good opportunity!

He was successively entrusted with important tasks by Sun Quan. If Lu Xun was captured alive, it would be another major blow to Jiangdong!

After seeing Cao Hong and others, Lu Yueyue's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately led his men to turn around and run away.

"Haha, it really took no effort at all. Follow me and capture Lu Xun alive!"

Cao Hong laughed loudly and immediately gave the order. The five thousand cavalry behind him immediately charged forward, and the earth trembled.

Yu Jin frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only follow him.

“Quick, don’t let Lu Xun escape!”

Cao Hong shouted while chasing. Soon, they chased them to a ravine with towering towers on both sides, sparse trees and grass in the middle.

Lu Xun seemed to be in a panic and fled into the ravine.

Just when Cao Hong was about to lead his army into the ravine to catch up, Yu Jin came next to him.

"General, this place is very suitable for an ambush. Be careful of an ambush!"

Cao Hong also frowned, but the credit for catching Lu Xun made him ready to take a gamble.

"Don't be afraid. Lu Xun only brought a few hundred people. As long as we catch up with him, he will never be able to escape. If there is an ambush, we can just withdraw."

Le Jin also came forward and said: "Since General Yu Jin is worried, it is better to detach some troops and let him guard outside. Even if there is an ambush, he can respond in time."

"Okay, let's do it this way. General Yu Jin is waiting for us outside with a thousand soldiers and horses!"

Cao Hong divided a thousand soldiers and horses, and then he and Le Jin led the remaining soldiers and horses into the ravine.

The ravine was very long and not suitable for cavalry charges, so the pursuit was not fast.

Even so, Lu Xun in front seemed to be waiting for them intentionally, always keeping an elusive distance.

Soon, even Cao Hong could see that Lu Xun in front was clearly fishing for them.

"stop!"

With an order, the army stopped immediately.

At this moment, Lu Xun stopped pretending, turned around, and showed a cruel smile to Cao Hong and the others.

"It's now!"

With a loud shout, a large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared on the hillsides on both sides of the ravine, and countless arrows roared towards them in an instant.

"There's an ambush!"

Le Jin's heart tightened and he immediately shouted.

The army behind them began to resist the arrows, but under the dense rain of arrows, a large number of soldiers still fell.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Le Jin began to organize the army to retreat, but after the rain of arrows, the enemy troops quickly rushed down the hillside. Even behind them, a large number of enemy troops appeared.

Behind Lu Xun, a large number of Jiangdong troops also appeared quickly, and then killed Cao Jun in the middle.

"Kill!"

In the small valley, Jiangdong actually laid out tens of thousands of ambushes!

When Cao Hong saw this scene, he suddenly became jealous and looked at Lu Xun in front of him with hatred.

But this short distance was like a chasm that he could not cross.

"Break out backwards!"

He gritted his teeth and issued the order, then led the army to break through toward the rear.

When the two armies met, a one-sided situation suddenly emerged.

Cao's army was ambushed, their morale was low, and the ravine was not suitable for cavalry combat, so they were at a disadvantage from the beginning.

Cao Hong and Le Jin kept fighting, and their injuries gradually increased.

"Hahaha, I'm so happy, I can finally take revenge on Chibi!"

Gan Ning held a big sword in his hand, and his expression became ferocious as he wanted to kill.

Xu Sheng was on the other side, ordering his soldiers to charge in an orderly manner, his eyes also flashing with excitement.
