Chapter 554: Siege
Zhao Yun killed Zhang Huan in one move, which directly made the soldiers of Liaodong extremely frightened and demoralized.
"Rush! Don't be afraid, there are few people on the other side, so rush me! Gongsun Kang roared wildly in the Chinese army, but most of the soldiers under his command did not dare to step forward and retreated to the rear. And the rain of arrows in the dense forests on both sides is still continuous, and Zhou Yu's adaptive legion talent directly simulates Tai Shici's legion talent, blessing the army. Although the army in the dense forest did not form a formation, it still condensed the cloud qi, blessed the bow and arrows, and frantically strafed the targets in front of them.
However, the Liaodong army was blocked in the middle of this narrow road, but it could not be arranged at all, and it was extremely chaotic. Gongsun Kang vigorously let his soldiers charge, but there were also many frightened soldiers who retreated, and the two clashed to make the army more and more chaotic, and it was difficult to resist the attack of the army led by Zhao Yun.
Gongsun Kang only felt extremely aggrieved at this time, obviously his army was several times larger than the other party, but he was caught by this narrow terrain and couldn't move. However, the other party was led by an invincible general like Zhao Yun, coupled with the elite soldiers, so that the army under his command was defeated.
Seeing Zhao Yun slaughtering himself like this but there was nothing he could do, Gongsun Kang was extremely aggrieved and said, "Withdraw!" Get out of the jungle! β
This narrow road is not long, and the area of dense forests on both sides is not large, and it is only a matter of a short time to rush out, otherwise Gongsun Kang would not be so careless after rushing out of the valley.
Under the command of Gongsun Kang, the Liaodong army continued to retreat in the direction of the front army and withdrew from this dense forest. In this process, the rear army of the Liaodong Army had been completely defeated by Zhao Yun, and they rushed to the rear, and even broke up the formation of the Chinese army.
"Kill!"
Finally rushed out of the dense forest, Gongsun Kanggang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to reorganize his army to fight back against Zhao Yun. But suddenly he heard the sound of horses' hooves on the right, and an earth-shattering roar.
Sun Ce led three thousand Jiangdong iron cavalry to kill from the path on the right and went straight to the Chinese army of Liaodong. At this time, Zhao Yun's army was already following the Liaodong army, slaughtering frantically.
Under the attack from both sides, especially the iron cavalry led by Sun Ce was simply unstoppable, against this group of defeated troops, a charge directly defeated the Liaodong army, and no one could stop it.
"Withdraw! Remove! β
Under the repeated impulses, the Liaodong army, which had already retreated due to the terrain, directly changed from retreat to real rout. Although Gongsun Kang was extremely resentful in his heart, he also knew that the current situation was not the time for him to be willful, and when he saw the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry rushing towards him, Gongsun Kang hurriedly shouted and withdrew.
A battle ended so smoothly, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and Sun Ce were three generals dealing with these weak chickens, it was simply beating children, not too easy. In the face of the defeated Liaodong Army, Sun Ce did not pursue too much because of the terrain obstruction, and after a while, he withdrew to clean up the mess.
Sun Ce, who was covered in blood and was extremely excited, came to Zhou Yu's side and complained: "Gong Jin, these Liaodong soldiers are really too weak, they are simply vulnerable. But this time the fight is really cool, why don't I go after it with my whole army? The other party is basically powerless to fight back. β
Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yun, who was commanding the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and said without looking back: "I don't need you to pursue, the original plan was to let them escape partially." What do you think? How many people are there on the other side? β
Sun Ce calculated a little in his heart: "Together with those defeated armies, there should be 123,000, and it is estimated that the final organization should be about 10,000." β
Zhou Yu nodded slightly: "Okay, you send two teams of scouts to investigate, and you must control the other party's movements." After we have formed up a little bit, we will pursue it again in an hour. β
Finding that there was no fight, Sun Ce pouted: "It's boring, it takes so much effort to deal with this group of weak chickens, you give me half an hour and I will solve it all with one charge." β
"What if it's solved? We are not trying to destroy this army, but to draw in reinforcements from Xiangping and fight for Wenyuan a chance to take Xiangping. Wiped out this army, you go to fight Xiangping? Zhou Yu snorted coldly.
The siege battle was the most disgusting for Zhou Yu, he couldn't give full play to the strengths of the elite soldiers in Jiangdong, and it was difficult to take it down with stratagems, so he could only rely on the corpses of the soldiers. This kind of battle can be avoided as much as possible, and it is best to lure the opponent out of the city and destroy it in the wild.
"Got it!" Sun Ce stopped and used the iron cavalry under his command to attack Xiangping, he was not so stupid.
"Zilong, how was the damage in this battle?" Just as the two were talking, Zhao Yun walked over and Zhou Yu asked.
"More than 1,000 were seriously wounded, more than 300 were killed, countless enemy soldiers were killed, and more than 4,000 were captured." Zhao Yun smiled and said the brilliant results of this battle. Although the Liaodong Army was weak, the results of the battle were really terrifying, enough to write a special book.
"People will inevitably relax when they are in danger, Gongjin, your ambush this time is really ingenious." Zhao Yun admired.
Zhou Yu didn't care, and smiled faintly: "It's just a small skill of carving insects." β
It stands to reason that this valley is the best place to set up an ambush, because it is steep enough to ambush a large number of ambushes, and the rolling down of the rocks is more lethal. But because of this, the other party will definitely be very vigilant, and Zhou Yu will naturally not ambush here. On the contrary, although the dense forest located outside the valley is not large, it cannot hide many ambushes, which is why the other side will relax their vigilance. And Zhou Yu's army was only a few thousand people, and it was enough to ambush here.
"We've already done the foreplay, and now we have to watch Wen Yuan." Zhao Yundao.
"No, this play is one step away. Zilong, wait a minute, when you escort the captives, you inadvertently inform these soldiers of the information of the Liaodong army and let a few go, so that Gongsun Du knows that his precious son is now under siege. Zhou Yu said.
"Understand!" Zhao Yun nodded.
"Play like a point, don't forget to chase at the end, it's best to kill one or two."
"Hmm!"
......
"What? You repeat? In Xiang Pingcheng's Yanwang Mansion, Gongsun Du slapped the table in front of him fiercely, got up and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, Gongzi led his army to battle and encountered an ambush on the way, and most of the army was lost. Now that he is besieged and in the city of bhikshus, the situation is critical, and I hope that the king will quickly send troops to help! The Liaodong soldier who was standing under the hall covered in blood shook his body, but he still gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
"Isn't Yuan Jun attacking Goguryi? Could it be that the spies of our army are all blind, where did the ambush come from? Gongsun Du scolded angrily.
"Your Majesty, the number of this ambush army is not large, less than 10,000 people. However, the more elite, coupled with the ambush first, caught our army by surprise, our army will be defeated. β
"Less than 10,000?" Gongsun Du said in disbelief and angrily: "Less than 10,000 people dare to ambush your 30,000 elites? And let them succeed, are you all papier-mΓ’chΓ©? β
After that, Gongsun Du casually picked up the cup on the table and smashed it directly at the soldiers in the hall. The soldier didn't dare to hide, and a wound was smashed out of his head again, ignoring the bleeding wound, the soldier kowtowed vigorously and confessed: "The king spares his life!" The king spares his life! β
"The Lord is angry!"
