Chapter 81: The Great Victory
Huang Zu's reaction was very fast, and when the sword was about to slash in front of him, the thick cloud finally gathered together and blocked in front of him.
After the sharp blade cut through the blocking of the cloud qi, it instantly shrank by more than half, but it still flew towards Huang Zu's chest unabated.
Huang Zu raised the long knife in his hand horizontally, and the cloud qi of the legion spread all over his body, and the internal qi surged wildly around his body to form a solid protective cover, blocking it with all his might.
However, Huang Zu was only a second-rate military general after all, and he couldn't withstand Zhang Liao's full force blow at all, and the cloud qi and internal qi of the protective body were broken through in an instant, and the whole person was smashed into the air, and he fell heavily to the ground, smashing out a huge pit.
And the horse under his crotch had no internal qi support, and was directly split into pulp by the scattered knives.
Huang Zu collapsed on the ground, the armor on his chest was split with two deep wounds, and blood was overflowing.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, Huang Zu trembled and held on to the ground and sat up, his eyes full of fear.
"Withdraw!"
With the support of the adjutant general, Huang Zu took a horse and let the surrounding pro-military battalions surround him, shouting as he retreated.
The soldiers under his command saw that the commander had withdrawn, and they hurriedly retreated while fighting.
Zhang Liao looked at Huang Zu, who was seriously injured but had no danger of dying, put down the double knives in his hand with some disappointment, urged the horse under his crotch, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
The reinforcements behind Zhang Liao immediately threw away the torches in their hands, raised the big knife at their waists, and followed the troops in front of them to kill forward.
In this dim night, the two armies chased and fled, and the battle was very fierce. Zhang Liao led his soldiers to chase and kill, and chased for half an hour before the soldiers who were arranged by Huang Zu to slaughter the soldiers in front of him.
And Huang Zu relied on this group of foot soldiers to block, and he had already led the large army under his command to escape.
After the war, Zhang Liao began to count the losses in this battle. His own soldiers were killed, more than 1,200 seriously wounded, and more than 3,000 lightly wounded, killing nearly 40,000 enemies in total, which can be called a great victory.
Zhang Liao was satisfied and led the army back to the city.
Dozens of miles away, Huang Zu looked at the more than 10,000 remnants of the soldiers under his command, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
I thought that what I met this time was a soft persimmon, and it was a sure thing to take Nanchang. I didn't expect the other party to be a hard stone, and the previous weakness was all pretended! It's playing yourself like a monkey!
The most annoying thing is that he actually succeeded! Huang Zu could think that if he went back like this, Cai Mao's bastard would definitely be bloody with the dogs he scolded, and the bastards of the Kuai family would definitely fall into the well, and the other families would definitely look at themselves differently.
The grizzled Huang Zheng walked up and asked, "General, what should we do next?" ”
Huang Zu gritted his teeth: "We definitely can't just withdraw, otherwise how can my Huang family gain a foothold in the Jingzhou family?" ”
Huang Zheng looked at the remnants of more than 10,000 defeated soldiers under his command, and thought of that terrifying figure again. It's ridiculous that I really thought I could defeat the other party, and I chased after him to show off his might, but now I think about the other party at that time, I'm afraid that he was a fool, it's really hateful and ashamed!
"But General, we only have more than 10,000 soldiers left! The opponent's strength is now above ours. ”
Huang Zu naturally knew the current situation, but it was unacceptable for Huang Zu to go back like this.
"You go back to Jiangxia and transfer another 20,000 troops to support, and I will contain Zhang Liao here first. In any case, Zhang Liao can't lose the pressure and go to support other places! ”
After Huang Zheng agreed to the promise, he quickly beat his horse and returned to Jiangxia to transfer troops.
Huang Zu looked in the direction of Lujiang, as if he saw Cai Mao's hateful ugly face, and his heart was mixed.
On the one hand, he hopes that Cai Mao will also fail miserably like himself, so that the eldest brother will not laugh at the second brother, and the other party will not be qualified to laugh at him.
On the other hand, as a fellow family, he still hopes that Cai Mao can defeat Yuan Shu, a common enemy.
Just from the battle of Yuzhang, you can see the horror of the army under Yuan Shu.
Even though there are reasons for their own carelessness, the other party was able to attack his 60,000 army at night with no more than 10,000 people, and the battle was successful! It is enough to see the elite of Yuan Shu's soldiers.
Huang Zu glanced at it in a hurry at that time and found that Yuan Shu's soldiers could basically defeat one against his own soldiers. If Yuan Shu's subordinates were all this combat power, it would be terrifying!
For a while, Huang Zu had a slight doubt about the possibility that his family's attack on Yangzhou might be successful. This war, which was originally thought to be nine out of ten, may not be as simple as I and others thought.
After Zhang Liao returned to the city with a great victory, he suddenly found that the city was also filled with a thick bloody atmosphere. Hurriedly led the army to the Taishou Mansion, and Fa Zheng was sitting in the conference hall drinking tea and waiting.
"Wen Yuan, it seems that your night attack is going well!"
Zhang Liao took off his helmet and threw it aside: "Killed more than 30,000 enemies, and returned with a big victory." Hyozhi, how is your side? ”
Fa Zheng squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a cold tone: "More than 20,000 people died in Nanchang City tonight, and the thirteen families of the wealthy gentry were destroyed, and the heads and crimes of the leaders were piled up at the gate of the East Market. ”
Zhang Liao let out a long breath: "It seems that Yuzhang is now stable." ”
Fa Zheng raised his head to the west and looked in the direction of Jiang Xia: "I'm afraid things are not so simple, Huang Zu is not dead, and he will definitely not go back like this." In less than 20 days, he will surely make a comeback. This time he didn't understand us and underestimated the enemy, so we were able to win this big victory, and I am afraid that next time we will not be so lucky. ”
Zhang Liao didn't care: "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, there will always be a way, isn't it?" What's more, from now on, Nanchang City is stable. ”
Fa Zheng nodded: "Now the crisis in our most dangerous place in Yangzhou has been initially lifted, and the rest depends on Lujiang and Jiujiang." I hope General Huang Zhong can stabilize the situation! ”
Fa Zheng knows that although the victory or defeat on his side has a great impact on the overall situation, the most important thing is to see whether Lujiang can hold it. Although he was very hostile to Guo Jia's shameless Fazheng, he had to admit that the other party's military strategy was far stronger than his own. With him, coupled with the two generals Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, Fa Zheng is still relatively relieved in his heart.
Soon, the battle of Yuzhang reached Tian Feng's hands.
Tian Feng looked at Fazheng's report, his face full of relief and surprise.
"Yuan Hao, it seems that this apprentice of yours is even stronger in military strategy than in political affairs! The memory of the arrogant soldier, leading the snake out of the hole, bluffing, this set is a good game! ”
He took the letter and glanced at it.
Tian Feng smiled and touched his beard.
"But how is this a bit like Guo Fengxiao's style?"
Before Tian Feng could be stunned twice, he said slightly teasingly.
Tian Feng's smug expression froze, and he said with some annoyance: "I am his teacher, and Feng Xiao only taught him for two days under my arrangement." ”
Frustrated, he looked at his old friend with a smile, and rarely showed some childish looks: "It seems that in the future, filial piety may not be inferior to you in military strategy!" Maybe it's another Guo Fengxiao. Yuan Hao, you have to work hard, or this apprentice may not know who it will be in the future. ”
