Chapter 988
Although Zhou Yu was very confident in urging Sima Yi to withdraw his troops, a sneer appeared on the corner of Sima Yi's mouth.
Sima Yi has done detailed research on important figures under Yuan Shu.
Zhou Yu is the son of Yuan Shu’s junior brother Zhou Yi and Yuan Shu’s eldest disciple.
This man has been smart since childhood and is familiar with military strategies. He is Yuan Shu's naval commander-in-chief.
When Yuan Shu led his army to pacify Jiangdong, Zhou Yu had performed extremely well.
It is too easy for such a genius to act in a play. When he comes out to persuade him to withdraw his troops, he must be trying to bluff and scare him away.
Sima Yi asked himself, if there was really an ambush in the valley, how could he let him go with Yuan Shu's cruelty?
Now he is 90% sure that the thousands of Chu troops around Zhou Yu are all the defensive forces in Shangfang Valley!
Sima Yi stepped forward and smiled at Zhou Yu with confidence:
"Thank you for the Governor's reminder, Gongjin's kindness is appreciated.
However, we and our army have been fighting for many days, and it is time to decide the outcome.
I think this Shangfang Valley is good as the battlefield for the decisive battle. What do you think?"
A hint of panic flashed across Zhou Yu's face and he shouted anxiously:
“Sima Yi!
You can't enter the valley!
Why don’t I listen to you if I advise you?”
Sima Yi was too lazy to listen to Zhou Yu's nonsense. He pulled out the Chixiao sword given by Liu Bei and ordered the general around him:
"Li Jue, Guo Si obeyed the order!
You and the two of you led 5,000 Western Liang cavalry to rush into the enemy and captured Zhou Yu alive!"
"I will obey the order!"
The two of them had a bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes.
The generals that the Chu army can fight are not there, but how can Zhou Yu defeat their cavalry?
Zhou Yu’s identity is extraordinary, and capturing him alive is a great achievement!
Li Jue and Guo Si led their troops to charge and attack Zhou Yu directly.
During the attack, Li Jue shouted loudly:
"The cavalry of Xiliang obeyed my orders and rushed to the enemy in three rows!
The attack and robbery are like a wolf's bone-eating!”
"kill!!"
The Western Liang Iron Cavalry was in high spirits and attacked the Chu army according to Li Jue's formation.
Zhou Yu quickly retreated and hid under the protection of the army.
He drew out his sword and ordered the Chu army:
"Set up a shield to block the enemy cavalry and shoot arrows!"
The Chu army in the front row raised an iron shield, and several rounds of arrows poured down to the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.
Unfortunately, the Chu army led by Zhou Yu were all ordinary palace soldiers, not elite Qilin Guards.
At the high speed of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the damage to them by arrows is very limited.
The Western Liang Iron Cavalry rushed to the front of the Chu army in a blink of an eye, collided with the Chu army's iron shield, and fought fiercely with the Chu army soldiers.
The number of iron cavalry was already above the soldiers under Zhou Yu's command, and with the power of the cavalry's impact, it instantly destroyed the formation of the Chu army.
"Retreat quickly and retreat to the valley!"
Zhou Yu hurriedly directed the soldiers to retreat. After paying the price of hundreds of casualties, he finally retreated to the upper valley.
Sima Yi did not order Li Jue, and Guo Si to pursue Zhou Yu, so the two led their troops back to Sima Yi.
After this battle, Sima Yi was even more sure that there was no one in the valley.
Otherwise, how could he risk his life to fight the Western Liang Iron Cavalry as the Lord of Zhou Yu?
Sima Yi's eyes were full of desire for victory, and Zhou Yu's defeated army was no longer cared about by him.
General Zhang Xiu asked Sima Yi:
"Military advisor, Zhou Yu said that there was an ambush in the valley. Is this statement credible?"
Sima Yi suppressed the restlessness in his heart and smiled at Zhang Xiu lightly:
"The virtual one is real, and the real one is empty.
