Chapter 87: Ambush and Encirclement

In a forest outside Jianye City, Zhou Yukun and Lin Zhong led five hundred elite soldiers to lurk here quietly.

After all, it took them two and a half days to smuggle in from the upper reaches of the river, which was half a day faster than expected. After a good rest outside the city for half a day, they began to plan their trip.

Of course, during the half day of rest, they did not do nothing, but disguised themselves as ordinary people and went to nearby villages to inquire about news. After running through three villages in a row, he finally heard from a common man the route of the enemy's transport troops. According to this common man, when he came back from farming, he saw the army on the road in this forest.

Without thinking too much, Zhou Yukun directly led his men and horses to the forest to hide, although the combat effectiveness of the opponent's transport troops was definitely not too strong, but he didn't want to fight the opponent head-on. You know, they're deep behind enemy lines, and if the soldiers suffer too much, there's no place to replenish them.

At this time, he had been ambushed in the forest for a morning, and Zhou Yukun's patience was about to reach the limit, this kind of boring waiting for the rabbit was really not his style, if it wasn't for the better completion of the task, he would now want to kill the other party's nest directly!

"Uncle Lin, why haven't they come yet? It can't be a change of route, right? ”

Lin Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, let's wait a little longer, if we don't come, we will prepare to retreat, it's not a way to wait like this." ”

sighed helplessly, and Zhou Yukun could only continue to endure it. In this way, another half an hour passed, and finally heard a sound of "creaking" of the axle in his ears, and a fine light suddenly burst out in his eyes, and he looked at Lin Zhong excitedly.

Lin Zhong also had a happy face, made a silent gesture to Zhou Yukun, and then hid behind the trunk more cautiously.

Gradually, the wooden cart transporting grain got closer and closer, and Zhou Yukun quietly poked out his head a little and looked at the other party's situation. I saw that Zhu Hongjun's transport force was also extremely large, roughly calculated, at least about 2,000 people, although a small half of them were responsible for taking care of the grain and had no combat effectiveness, but the rest of the people added up to a large number.

And the grain and grass transported by their 2,000 people filled a dozen carts in total, although it seemed to be a lot of them, in fact, after they were transported to the front line, the 50,000 men and horses were likely to be able to eat all of them in two meals, so the daily work of these grain troops was not easy, and they had to provide food to the front line continuously.

Therefore, if Zhou Yukun's grain cut-off plan is perfectly successful, then the front line is likely to be hungry for a day. Excuse me, can these hungry soldiers still go to the battlefield to fight? The answer, of course, is no, even if they have the courage to go up, they probably don't have the strength to lift their weapons.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yukun couldn't help but get excited, the weaker the enemy's attack, the lower the difficulty of his own defense, I believe that with Wei Chu's wisdom, he will definitely come up with a way to turn defeat into victory.

With the slow advance of the enemy's transport forces, the planned area was soon reached. Zhou Yukun directly drew his spear and quickly rushed out from behind the tree, while shouting loudly: "Brothers, go up!" ”

Zhou Yukun's move, the other soldiers hiding in the forest did not hesitate at all, they were all well-trained soldiers, and it was their instinct to obey orders. Hearing the shouts of killing all around, many heavily armed soldiers slaughtered in front of Zhu Hong's army.

Speaking of which, these soldiers transporting food are not only a group of recruit eggs, but also a group of recruit eggs whose combat effectiveness is so weak that they burst, otherwise they would not have been assigned by Zhu Hong to the transport troops in this large rear.

At first, these enemy soldiers saw that Zhou Yukun had relatively few manpower, and they took up arms and tried their best to resist, but while fighting, the gap in the quality of soldiers was reflected. Although there are many soldiers in Zhu Hong's army, the two of them together can't beat an elite under Zhou Yukun, plus Zhou Yukun and Lin Zhong, two star electors to join the battlefield, it is like a tiger entering a flock, unstoppable!

It didn't take long for the soldiers to drop their weapons and cry out in surrender.

For these surrendered people, Zhou Yukun did not kill them, but he also knew his current situation, and it was impossible to imprison them, so he could only unload their weapons and let them go.

After they disappeared from sight, Zhou Yukun began to look at the many grain trucks in front of him. To be honest, in the face of such food, it is impossible for him not to be moved, after all, what Shouchun City lacks most now is food, and if he can transport these back, it will definitely relieve a lot of pressure.

But before he could speak, Lin Zhong on the side seemed to see through his thoughts, and persuaded seriously: "Yukun, don't think about it, we can't transport it back, not to mention the current manpower problem, even the enemy army attacking outside the city will not watch us transport the grain back." ”

"Ugh." Sighing helplessly, Zhou Yukun said dejectedly: "Okay, I know, burning them all is the most correct choice, it's a pity that there are so many precious grains!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, as if something was gradually approaching. He jerked his head up and looked behind him, only to see the dust rising in the distance behind him, like an invisible beast galloping wildly.

"It's not good, it's the other party's cavalry that came, and we were exposed!" Saying that, Zhou Yukun was about to leave from the front, but as soon as he took a few steps, he found that dust had been raised in front of him at some point, just like behind him.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yukun was slightly stunned, and then suddenly came to his senses. He knew that these troops were not called by the few soldiers who surrendered, and they must have been prepared for a long time, and they wanted to ambush themselves and wipe out their own men.

Not daring to hesitate, Zhou Yukun could only turn his heart sideways, and after setting the grain cart on fire, he hurriedly rushed over with all the soldiers in one direction. Since the other party dares to ambush him, he must have more people than himself, and the other party's cavalry still restrains his own infantry. If you wait for the other party to close the encirclement, you and the others will really have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

It didn't take long for Zhou Yukun to see a group of cavalry appear in front of him, although the number was large, but they were scattered horizontally, obviously trying to surround them in a ring. He turned his head to look at Lin Zhong and said solemnly: "Uncle Lin, let's fight the vanguard and make a breakthrough!" ”

Without waiting for Lin Zhong to answer, he shouted again: "Brothers, kill someone!" Grab the horse! With that, he shook his spear and rushed out first.

Lin Zhong was also dissatisfied, raised a sledgehammer, and followed Zhou Yukun. Under the lead of the two of them, the rest of the soldiers were also in high spirits, roaring and picking up their weapons, and rushed towards the cavalry without fear.

It stands to reason that a head-to-head battle between the cavalry and the infantry is almost a sure victory, and it is likely that as soon as the cavalry charges down, the infantry team will be killed. But this time it was different, and in front of the infantry were Zhou Yukun and Lin Zhong, two powerful star electors.

Especially Lin Zhong, maybe in terms of heads-up, he and Zhou Yukun are only five or five, but when it comes to group battles, Zhou Yukun can't catch up with Lin Zhong even if he shoots a horse, after all, the advantage of weapons is there!

Sure enough, I saw Lin Zhong violently hammer the ground, and a powerful wind blew, directly turning a large number of enemies in front of him on their backs, which was very majestic!
