Chapter Eighty-Six: Counting is Counting
"So what are we going to do?"
Huang Zhong also had some ideas in his heart at this time, but this kind of advice should be left to professionals, his own family knows his own affairs, and although he has learned a lot of military techniques, he is still not as good as these monkey spirits and monkey spirit strategists.
Guo Jia smiled weirdly: "Anyway, the fish is still hooked." Naturally, we have to go to the other side's wishes to help! ”
Huang Zhong wanted to say something, but when he saw Guo Jia's weird smile, he resolutely closed his mouth.
"Hansheng, we are now rushing to Lujiang as fast as possible. In addition, the message asked Zhu Heng to retreat. ”
"Hmm!"
Looking at the sand table in front of him, Guo Jia stared at a valley mouth on the road back to Lujiang.
If you want to fool the enemy, you must first fool yourself. Chen Yuanlong, you should set up an ambush there!
When Zhu Heng received Huang Zhong's news, he did not suspect it at all, and withdrew to Lujiang at full speed according to the instructions.
Next, everything was just like Guo Jia's guess, Zhu Heng encountered an ambush by Chen Deng's army on the way back and was blocked in the valley.
However, Guo Jia and Huang Zhong's army had already been ambushed outside the valley as well, and when they heard the sound of killing in the valley, they rushed in.
As a result, needless to say, the 30,000 elite soldiers led by Huang Zhong met more than 40,000 miscellaneous soldiers. Without the support of a large number of clouds, Huang Zhong easily shot the middle and senior generals in the opponent's camp with one arrow, and then directly crushed the opponent's army.
When Chen Deng heard the voice of Huang Zhong's army, he realized that something was wrong, and left early with his personal battalion.
After running away, Chen Deng looked at the direction of the valley hatefully: "Guo Fengxiao, it seems that I underestimate you!" But this time is just a temptation, we still have a chance to fight in the future, and I will let you know what it is like to fail! ”
I thought it was the other party's trick, but I didn't expect to be tricked by myself. Chen Deng saw Huang Zhong's army go away before he put his mind down and set up an ambush, and he didn't know how the other party found his ambush point, and how he secretly came back unnoticed.
This defeat was a big blow to Chen Deng. He has been known as a genius since he was a child, and now he is not inferior to his father in terms of wisdom at a young age, and he thinks that no one can match him in Xuzhou, so he looks down on the world.
Unexpectedly, he failed miserably in Guo Jia's hands for the first time. This made him understand that this world is big, and there are many people who are stronger than himself, and he slightly restrained his pampering.
Although he suffered a fiasco, he saw himself clearly, blessings and misfortunes? This must also be the reason why Chen Gui let him out to lead the troops.
Victory is gratifying, but defeat is not a good thing. This son of mine has always been too smooth, he has not experienced setbacks and blows, and he has not met peers who can be compared.
If there is no pressure, there will be no motivation, and compared to this setback, Chen Deng's future achievements will be even more limitless.
Guo Jia didn't care about Chen Deng's escape. For him, although Chen Deng is still a good strategist, he is at most a first-class bottom level, which is too much worse than himself.
Although it is a pity that Chen Deng was not caught, the result is very satisfying. After cleaning up the battlefield, Guo Jia and Huang Zhong led the army to escort the captives back to the city.
At this point, Yangzhou has basically laid the victory, and now the only thing to worry about is Cai Mao's army.
If there is really a battle on the water, Guo Jia and the others really have nothing to do with Cai Mao's army. After all, the number of sailors and warships is there, and it is not the infantry who can become a navy when they get on the ship.
After all, Yuan Shu and Guo Jia and others had not experienced many major battles in Jiangdong, and they were not clear about the importance of the naval army. There are only 30,000 sailors, so they are so helpless to Cai Mao now.
However, the limitations of the navy are still very large, as long as Guo Jia and the others solve the enemy army in Jiujiang, without the assistance of the army, Cai Mao is estimated to retreat.
Just when Guo Jia and the others returned triumphantly, Dingyuan County, the seat of Jiujiang County, was engaged in a fierce battle.
The armies of Yuzhou and Xuzhou, totaling about 90,000 soldiers, attacked Dingyuan County together under the leadership of Cao Bao.
Lu Su stood on top of the city wall, watching the enemy set up a ladder and rush up under the cover of a large number of archers, and the dense number of soldiers made Lu Su's scalp tingle.
Even if the other side is a miscellaneous soldier, the number of nearly 100,000 seems to be really deterrent.
"Zijing, it's up to me next!"
The corners of Wei Yan's mouth outlined a confident smile.
Lu Su looked at the seemingly boundless soldiers in the distance, and his face was serious: "Wen Chang, if you can't hold it, let the trapped camp attack, remember not to be strong!" ”
Wei Yan said disapprerovingly: "Kill chickens with a knife? For this group of miscellaneous soldiers, the soldiers under my command are enough to deal with it, and Zijing does not need to worry. ”
Wei Yan and Ju Yi are the same type, and both are a little arrogant. He thought that his ability was no less than Zhang Liao, and when he learned of Zhang Liao's brilliant results, he had already held his breath in his heart. Now is the time to prove yourself!
Wei Yan looked at the enemy army in the distance, although he was very confident on the surface, he was still very cautious in his heart.
Although they are miscellaneous soldiers, but the number is so large that the cloud qi has changed from quantitative to qualitative. If you don't take it seriously, it's still a matter whether you can keep it!
Seeing the enemy rushing forward one after another, Wei Yan pulled out the knife at his waist, pointed to the distance and shouted: "Archer, shoot!" ”
In an instant, the cloud qi was bonus, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, intensively hitting the opponent's front row, and instantly knocked down a small piece of soldiers.
The other party did not show weakness, and more arrows were also fired. However, due to the obstruction of the city wall, only sporadically knocked down more than a dozen soldiers.
Soon, the enemy army rushed to the vicinity of the city wall, erected the ladder on the wall, and climbed the ladder one after another in the face of arrows.
Wei Yan had already asked some of the soldiers to prepare the boulders and boiling oil, and when they saw that the ladders of these people were erected up, all the soldiers directly poured the boulders and boiling oil without commanding. Then there were countless wails, one after another, resounding throughout the battlefield.
In siege warfare, the defender has a considerable advantage, but again, the elite level of the attacker's pawns is also much lower. There is not much difference between 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers and 80,000 elite siege cities.
After an afternoon of fierce fighting, countless corpses were buried under the city walls. There were corpses and arrows of soldiers everywhere. Although nearly 10,000 enemy troops were killed, the defenders under Wei Yan also suffered more than 3,000 casualties.
I have to say that although Cao Bao is not a good name, he is really not a straw bag.
Historically, this thing seems to be a joke, and that's because he's too strong against his enemies. As one of the two major families in Xuzhou and the head of the Cao family who can be compared to the Chen family, how can Cao Bao really be a straw bag?
can be appointed by Tao Qian as the first general in Xuzhou, Cao Bao still has some real materials. Although his combat ability is average, Cao Bao's command ability is really good.
After a fierce battle for a long time, these miscellaneous soldiers who were besieging the city basically did not appear to break and flee, which is enough to see that Cao Bao is not a real incompetent.
With Cao Bao occupying the advantage of troops, Wei Yan really couldn't take the other party for a while.
