According to the report from Tanma, the Nanxu City Gate is still wide open and the crowds are surging. Judging from the situation, they did not notice the arrival of our army."
After running quickly, Xiang Ji led his Canglong Cavalry to Nanxu in two days.
After hearing Zhao Yun's report, Xiang Ji looked at Nan Xu not far away and began to think deeply.
From the current situation, it is obvious that Sun Ce has not received the news that our army has arrived.
So, should Nan Xu go around and directly attack Qu'a by surprise, or should he capture Nanxu and wait for Zhou Tai's army to encircle the Wu army in Qu'a?
Xiang Ji was rarely entangled.
You must know that both methods have their own pros and cons, making it difficult to choose between them.
Bypassing Nanxu and attacking Qu'a by surprise, we will definitely achieve great results.
Even if you are lucky enough, it is not impossible to kill Sun Ce directly in front of the battle.
This is profit.
But what's the disadvantage? That is that Xiang Ji's troops are limited, and the Canglong Cavalry alone can only repel the Wu army at most, but cannot completely annihilate it.
If the battle cannot be completed in one battle, it will easily be dragged into a protracted war of attrition by Wu State using its terrain.
Xiang Ji is not afraid of a war of attrition, but Xiang Ji cannot afford to delay it.
How is the war in Xuzhou? Since Xiang Ji crossed the river, there has been no news at all.
To say that we are not worried would be nonsense.
As for the other option, if they attack Nanxu, Sun Ce of Qu'a will definitely receive the message, and then he will lose his concealment.
But the advantage is that it can cut off the retreat route of Qu'a and Wu's army and force them to fight with themselves.
And this is exactly what Xiang Ji pursues.
Only by capturing the Kingdom of Wu in the shortest time can Xiang Ji return to the main battlefield in Xuzhou faster.
"Send the order, mount your horse, attack the city!"
After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Ji finally decided on a safer approach.
Sun Ce, if you know it, go ahead. Anyway, I have already crossed the river.
Even if there is no sneak attack, would I still be afraid of you little bully in a head-on confrontation?
Woo~~~
The horn of attack was sounded.
"Boom!"
Immediately, Canglongqi launched a charge towards Nanxu, whose city gate was wide open.
The sound of galloping war horses caused the ground to tremble.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Quick! Close the city gate quickly!"
The sudden attack of the Canglong Cavalry alarmed the Nanxu defenders. Seeing the Cang Longqi's galloping speed, a Wu general knew that he might not be able to close the city gate in time. He made an immediate decision, patted his horse and rushed forward to meet the oncoming Cang Longqi.
"I am Zhu Zhi, the commander of the cavalry of the State of Wu. General, please dare to fight with me!"
It turned out that Zhu Zhi was the cavalry captain appointed by Sun Ce, responsible for escorting the heavy supplies of food and grass, and he happened to be passing through Nanxu.
Seeing an enemy invading, Zhu Zhi, who was brave and brave, planned to hold off the invading enemy with his own power, so as to give the Nanxu defenders time to respond.
As long as one of these cavalrymen fights with a certain general, their charge will inevitably stop.
At that time, the Nanxu defenders will naturally be able to respond.
As for the victory or defeat of the generals? Except for Sun Ce, Zhu Zhi was not afraid of anyone.
Seeing Nan Xu's general coming out to call for formation, the charging cavalry did not lose momentum, but a knight on a white horse in the front sped up and charged towards the oncoming Zhu Zhi.
This person is none other than Xiang Ji.
Xiang Ji and the Canglongqi behind him didn't take Zhu Zhi seriously.
It's just a frog in a well.
How many people in the world today don’t recognize Xiang Ji’s Canglongqi?
And how many people dare to call the Canglong Cavalry a battle general?
Just kidding, the leader of the Canglong Cavalry is either Xiang Ji or Zhao Yun. How many people in the world consider themselves to be their enemies?
"Hahaha! The general will be named. I, Zhu Zhi, will not kill the nameless ghost with my sword!"
Zhu Zhi became excited when he saw that someone from the incoming cavalry formation came out to fight with him.
As long as I capture him, the momentum of this cavalry charge will be stopped. When the time comes, I'm afraid the King of Wu will reward me heavily!
"I am a member of the Chu State!"
The charging Xiang Ji responded to Zhu Zhi, then swung the Overlord Halberd in his hand and swept towards the oncoming Zhu Zhi.
What!?
Zhu Zhi was shocked when he heard that his opponent turned out to be Xiang Ji.
There is no real scholar under the great reputation. This book has created a huge reputation. Even if Zhu Zhi is ignorant, how can he not know it?
But, it's too late.
Seeing Xiang Ji's Overlord Halberd sweeping towards him, Zhu Zhi summoned all his strength, raised his long sword and blocked it.
"when!"
The first sound of weapons clashing came, proving that Zhu Zhi had blocked Xiang Ji's sweep.
Available immediately.
"Click! Ah..."
The broadsword in Zhu Zhi's hand was directly cut into two sections by Xiang Ji's brute force. Then, the unabated Overlord Halberd directly cut Zhu Zhi into two sections.
"waste!"
Ignoring the body that had been cut into two pieces by his halberd, Xiang Ji clamped his legs between his legs and returned to the main formation of the cavalry charge, continuing to attack Nanxu.
"Oh my god! It's the Chu army, it's the Chu army! Quick! Fire arrows! We can't let them enter the city!"
There are still well-informed people in Nanxuchengtou.
However, the cavalry's charge was so strong that it was not so easy to block.
The sparse rain of arrows fell, unable to have the slightest impact on the Cang Longqi.
Xiang Ji, who was charging ahead, saw the city gate closing, and immediately clamped his legs together, urging the white dragon under his crotch to start accelerating.
"hiss!"
The white dragon roared.
Immediately, the four hooves accelerated, and like a bolt of lightning, he rushed in towards the half-closed city gate.
"Xiang Ji is here!"
Rushing into the city gate, Xiang Ji's Overlord's Halberd flew up in his hand, and several Wu troops who were still pushing the city gate were immediately swept away by the Overlord's Halberd.
"Open it for me!"
After killing the defenders who were about to close the city gate, Xiang Yu swung the Overlord Halberd again and swung it towards the half-closed city gate.
"when!!!"
There was a loud noise.
The half-closed city gate was directly knocked back to its original position by Xiang Yu.
Following the same pattern, Xiang Ji once again swung the Overlord Halberd towards the other half of the city gate.
"Run! He is not a human at all, he is the devil!"
When the defenders saw that Xiang Ji had single-handedly opened the city gate, which required several people to push slowly to move it, they were immediately frightened.
This, this is simply beyond human power, right?
Are the rumors true? Is he really the Demon King?
The malicious vilification of Xiang Ji by the upper class of Wu State finally had an impact, but this impact was negative.
Shocked by Xiang Ji's divine power, the morale of Wu's defenders plummeted. They were already weak. After being charged by the Canglong Cavalry, almost no one dared to take up the courage to resist.
In just a moment, Nanxu, the important town of Wu State, announced that it had changed hands.
At the same time, Sun Ce, who was in Qu'a, finally received the news that the Chu army had crossed the river.
"It's bad, Gong Jin, the Chu army has crossed the river. We have been deceived. The people on the other side of the river are not the main force of the Chu army at all!"
