Chapter 259: Sheep Surround Tigers
What is the consequence of a group of sheep that are very good at fighting, after careful planning, surround a group of hungry wolves led by two fierce tigers.
Although Zhu Bao has been careful enough,
Even though they've done a good job,
Despite the fact that they did not make mistakes in their ambushes and sorties,
Although those barbarian warriors are brave and good at fighting, they are not afraid of death.
But so what?
Their ring-headed knives were completely vulnerable to sapper shovels and fire axes.
Even if it was lucky enough to slash at the sergeant of the Haotian Army, it would only make those sergeants suffer a little.
Then came an even crazier counterattack!
Less than 100 of Zhu Bao's soldiers wore armor, and two of them wore iron armor.
There are also many people who go into battle shirtless or even naked.
In the face of the sharp fire axe, these flesh and blood bodies could not be stopped at all.
One by one, there was a collision of flesh and blood everywhere, and there was cursing and screaming everywhere.
Huang Zhong is old and frail, but his sword skills are already like a refinement.
Especially the previous battle with Guan Yu made his martial arts go further.
Now he has a fire axe in his hand, and his combat effectiveness has reached a height that has never been seen before.
Before Zhu Bao's soldiers could react to what was going on, they were killed by Huang Zhong one by one, and some people were killed immediately without even snorting.
What a terrifying martial arts......
Jufu practiced martial arts with Huang Zhong when he was in Jiangling, and he felt that he would be able to match Huang Zhong in a few years.
But when he saw Huang Zhong on the battlefield at this time, he realized that Huang Zhong was unwilling to do his best when he taught himself.
The gap between Jufu and Huang Zhong's martial arts has still not narrowed,
It's still infinite......
Is this old man still human?
Shocked, Jufu also let out a long roar, swinging a sharp axe and killing the enemy fiercely, and immediately a group of people turned on their backs.
The battle looked fierce.
But the most intense part also lasted only a moment.
The two thousand warriors under Zhu Bao were shocked when they saw that they couldn't even kill a soldier of the Haotian Army.
Coupled with the fierce performance of Huang Zhong and Jufu, Zhu Baojun, who was shouting the earth-shattering sound just now, immediately dispersed in a hurry!
Is this a heavenly soldier?
How can this be fought?
Zhu Bao reacted very quickly, and he immediately turned around and ran.
But Huang Zhong had already found him in iron armor in the crowd.
He roared and strode after him,
Jufu was not far behind, so he simply threw down the troops and went directly to arrest Zhu Bao.
There's no way, Zhu Bao's iron armor is too conspicuous.
This kind of thing is relatively rare in Nanzhong, and it is almost immediately recognizable that this must be the leader of the rebels.
Both of them were not to be left behind, and pounced towards Zhu Bao.
There were also loyal and brave people around Zhu Bao, but their resistance was as weak as a boat in a flood, and they were easily killed by Huang Zhong.
"Don't let the thief run, don't let the thief run!" Jufu said excitedly.
"It's up to you to say that!" Huang Zhong did not forget to ridicule in his busy schedule.
Zhu Bao was so frightened that he wanted to throw away his iron armor and run for his life.
But in his eagerness, he only untied half of the armor, and the heavy armor fell to the ground, forcing him to advance and retreat.
"I surrender, don't kill me, don't kill me!"
In desperation, he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Jufu's feet are fast, and he has rushed to Zhu Bao's side at this time.
The moment he raised the sharp axe, he retracted it again, almost spraining his old waist.
"You surrender?
It must be a swindle! Eat me with an axe! โ
Huang Zhong swung the axe of Jufu dissatisfied, and said with a smile:
"Thou shalt not kill those who surrender in vain, this is the rule of the king of Hanzhong,
Don't you understand this? โ
Jufu sighed helplessly, and could only say with a straight face:
"Who are you?"
Zhu Bao saw that he really couldn't hide, so he could only say truthfully:
"The sin will be too guarded by Zhu Bao,
This time, I saw the general's ability, and I didn't dare to embarrass with the general's soldiers.
Please also drive the general forward and attack Qiongdu. โ
Ju Fu and Huang Zhong glanced at each other, both of them never expected that this battle would actually capture Zhu Bao, one of the leaders of the rebels.
Huang Zhong scratched his head and discussed:
"Otherwise, kill him, and say that he died in the chaos."
Jufu also nodded:
"Yes, I'm afraid that the son of the world will release this person again, it's very troublesome."
Zhu Bao: ......
ยท
As we all know, Liu Chan's biggest fault is that he is too merciful to the enemy.
Since he began to lead troops, except for the thief Gao Sheng, who robbed him of his spicy strips, was captured and killed, the other captives have been treated well.
Liu Chan seems to have a special interest in reforming the captives, and even those who insist on not surrendering are thrown into the Merit Mansion to copy books.
The worst result of the captured soldiers is to throw them somewhere to open up the wasteland, and they will have their own land after a few years-
If this news reaches the north, I don't know how many people in the Wei army want to be captured.
Huang Zhong and Jufu went south all the way, found a few guides, and had already heard of Zhu Bao's deeds of bullying men and women and dominating one side.
If this kind of person is not killed, will he keep it for the New Year?
So Huang Zhong and Ju Fu glanced at each other, and they were really ready to kill Zhu Bao.
Zhu Bao saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me.
I have a large number of gold beads and muslin in the house, and I am willing to take them all out and present them to the two generals. โ
"Forget it, those gold beads and muslins are not easy to hide,
If you are caught, your subordinates will naturally snatch it,
It's better to kill you and save some food. โ
"No, no, no!"
Zhu Bao pleaded bitterly:
"It's not just this kind of mundane thing, there are treasures in my mountain, and there are treasures!
I have the fire cloth, I have the fire cloth,
I am willing to dedicate the fire cloth to the two generals, and I only ask the generals to spare their lives. โ
Fire Cloth?
Everyone knows the legend of Huohuanbu, but neither Jufu nor Huang Zhong has ever seen the real thing.
Hearing that there is such a strange thing, both of them have some patience.
They reorganized Zhu Bao's troops and found that Zhu Bao's subordinates were really not a group of stragglers, and their combat effectiveness was not bad, and they couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
Such a strong soldier and horse, we were easily killed,
This Haotian Army is really powerful.
"The plan of the prince is really exquisite, and these rats are really easy to catch.
It seems that this southern expedition is in the hands of the prince. โ
Although Jufu has always been good at brain supplementation before, this time it is really not his brain supplement.
Knowing that the combat effectiveness of these people in Nanzhong is very average, Liu Chan also wants to take the opportunity to see the level of his planning.
After all, after fighting for so long, Ma Tan has made some progress, and Liu Chan has been improving silently, and he really doesn't want to rely on a group of subordinates to make up for the war.
He studied the map and surveyed the terrain himself, and had a general understanding of the environment of the battlefield.
According to what Zhuge Liang had taught before, he also found a few local villagers to confirm the approximate size of the enemy.
As we all know, the Taishou is the poorest of the several counties in Nanzhong, and Zhu Bao has only 2,000 people.
Even if these two thousand people are elite soldiers, they will definitely not dare to fight hard when they meet the army of the imperial court.
If they are allowed to flee into the mountains and be broken into pieces, it will not be easy to deal with.
Therefore, Liu Chan suggested that the most elite Haotian army should be the first to attract the enemy to ambush.
The equipment of the Haotian Army has far exceeded the level of this era, and there are veterans like Huang Zhong to suppress the formation.
As long as there is no trap and hard crossbow, Zhu Bao's 2,000 people will not want to attack the main formation of the Hao Heavenly Army.
Although the position of the main force seems to be relatively far away, it has been keeping a distance from the Haotian Army striker within a day.
As long as the Haotian army is surrounded, they will immediately attack and realize the flowering of the center.
At that time, Liu Chan was afraid that Fa Zheng would also start to make up for his brain, so he deliberately found Liao Li, who was idle and painful, and asked Liao Li to tell Fa Zheng about this plan.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Fa Zheng actually nodded again and again, and said:
"He is worthy of being a famous man in Jingxiang, such a tactic is really clever."
Liao Li: ......
It's just that I never expected that the Haotian Army, the luring enemy force, didn't need the main force to support at all, and beat Zhu Bao's troops down with a single look.
They even performed a miracle.
Zero deaths!
Although half of the army was wounded, none of them were seriously wounded that could not be healed.
When he heard that Zhu Bao was actually captured, even Liao Li showed an expression of disbelief, and subconsciously kept a certain distance from Liu Chan.
Could it be that this son is really a star in the sky?
I've been slandering him, who wouldn't be struck by lightning?
You'll have to be careful in the future.
When Liu Chan heard that Zhu Bao had been captured, he was also overjoyed.
He asked Zhu Bao to explain the current situation, and Zhu Bao could only say that he accepted Gao Ding's invitation to relieve the siege.
As for why he ambushed the prince and fought against the heavenly soldiers, Zhu Bao had already thought of an explanation-
"It's Ma Qin, it's Ma Qin who has been working against the son,
He...... He took the initiative to ask to cut off the return of the son, and instigated the criminal ministers to embarrass the son.
It's all this person's sin that deserves death, it's all this person's sin that deserves death! โ
Liu Chan: ......
Fa Zhengqi said:
"No, I've arranged a lot of people at the ferry, and I'm waiting for your people to take the bait.
But after waiting for so long, there is no news coming, does this Ma Qin really have the ability to completely annihilate my remaining troops? โ
Liu Chan hurriedly called someone to investigate quickly, and the next day, news came from the ferry, saying that everything was normal, and no one was going to attack at all.
Zhu Bao's face suddenly became even more ugly.
"Don't be careless," Liu Chan said solemnly,
"The ferry is a major matter related to the advance and retreat of our army, although a lot of men and horses have been arranged, we still have to be careful and vigilant.
Well...... Xiaoxing, you will go to it in person, and you must ensure that the rear is thorough? โ
"Me?" The pioneer general was stunned for a while, "Shizi, why don't you go to someone else?"
I'm not the right fit! โ
Liu Chan didn't want to transfer Jufu over, but if it was someone else, forget it, Ma Qin's ghost thing would come and go without a trace, maybe there would be some magical unfolding.
Liu Chan didn't want the back road to be inexplicably cut off by this group of people.
ยท
In fact, Liu Chan was too cautious at this time.
Ma Qin has been a thief for so many years, relying on prudence.
He didn't go far before he found that Zhu Bao sent someone to follow him, knowing that Zhu Bao was weak-hearted.
After sneaking away for a while, Ma Qin actually slowly slipped back again.
Yes, he is waiting for the results of the battle between Liu Chanjun's forward and Zhu Bao.
If Zhu Baosheng wins, he will naturally hurry up and raid Liu Chan's ferry according to the plan.
If Zhu Bao is defeated, it means that Liu Chan is prepared nine times out of ten, and he will not send this to death.
Ma Qin, who was secretly observing, witnessed Zhu Bao's army being killed by Liu Chanjun's forwards, and even Zhu Bao himself was captured and dragged away like a dog.
He didn't expect that Liu Chanjun's combat effectiveness had reached this point.
If he is caught, he will definitely end up very miserable like his old brother Gao Sheng.
After hesitating for a moment, Ma Qin still made a decision.
No, I'm going to go to Yonghong.
Zhu Bao's people are not Liu Chan's opponents,
I asked Yonghong not to fight with Liu Chan head-on, and to cut off his way back.
