Chapter 304: Zhang He's Actions
Yuan Junqu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked up, only to see a group of "horse thieves" dressed in coarse linen clothes around him, rushing towards them.
"Enemy attack!" The Qu Chang's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly. He never thought that this voice was a shout from the rest of his life.
However, the "horse thieves" did not give these soldiers time to prepare, and they raised their bows and arrows one after another, and kept firing arrows at the Yuan soldiers gathered on the edge of the earthen pit. A series of long arrows roared into the crowd, splashing bright red blood flowers.
The Qu Chang of the Yuan Army became the first target of the "horse thief" because he was shouting straight up, and he had seven or eight arrows stuck in his body, and he fell into a pool of blood, and he didn't close his eyes until he died, because he didn't understand where these "horse thieves" came from? Why?
The speed of the war horses was very fast, the riders on these horses had already approached the dirt pit after shooting three or four arrows, the riders abandoned their bows and swords, and the war horses quickly waved their sabers when they rushed into the crowd, and the surviving Yuan soldiers who fell to the ground under the rain of arrows fell to the ground like chopped wood at this time.
The battle ended in less than a quarter of an hour.
Looking at the corpses of the soldiers of the Yuan Army all over the ground, Huang Xu spat at the mouth with disdain. He jumped off his horse and wiped the Mo knife that the lord had given him with the clothes of the Yuan soldiers.
"Returning to the general, all the five hundred Yuan troops were annihilated, and none of them escaped the net." Di Jiang, who has become the "think tank" around Huang Xu, ran over quickly and said.
"It's not fun at all." Huang Xu felt that the resistance of these Yuan soldiers was really not worth mentioning, and this kind of battle was a little too much compared to the records of his lord princess and father
Huang Xu turned around and asked, "How many of our brothers have been injured?" β
Yuan's army was so vulnerable that Huang Xu didn't even think that these soldiers could inflict many casualties on his men. And the truth was just as he thought, only to hear Di Jiang reply: "Our brothers only have a dozen minor injuries, not even a single serious injury." We also have a lot of medicines, which will not affect the battle later at all. β
"General Ben knows that these guys are just some piece of rubbish." Huang Xu is used to seeing Zhang Zhen's army, and at this moment, when he sees Yuan Jun again, there is really no comparison between the two, and they are not on the same level at all! Huang Xu said to Di Jiang: "There are still 2,400 people left in the city, and it is estimated that there will be 1,000 fewer people who will come out again." Let's see what happens. Also, Di Jiang, tell the scouts to pay attention, and if they find an enemy out of the city or a grain cart, they must report back immediately. β
Although Huang Xu was a little proud of the results in front of him, he did not get carried away. Although, a thousand people, they can deal with it, but it is inevitable that there will be casualties. If you let your father know that he had done such an unwise act, he would have to scold him to death! Even the innocent casualties of a soldier are not something that a father can tolerate.
"Whoa!" Di Jiang nodded in response.
......
In the city of Xuxian County, Zu Mao and 2,500 soldiers had already attacked the city in the dark night, and the four of them worked together, so that the 2,000 Yuan troops in the city of Xuxian County were defeated by surprise. Then the matter was simple, Zu Mao ordered the soldiers to inform the people in the city not to hide the rout, and on the other hand, he asked people to count the grain, grass and ordnance in the city. Anyway, the city gate has been blocked, and those who are blind in the dark are not afraid of anyone escaping.
"General, what should we do with these grains, grass and ordnance?" A man with a scruffy beard and dressed as a bandit asked Zu Mao. If someone says it's a bandit, absolutely no one will doubt it.
Zu Mao didn't wear any good clothes, this time they were pretending to be bandits, and as for the clothes, they were all bought by the people of Ande City. He also deliberately took care of his subordinates, so that the amount of southern accents among them was less, and even if they wanted to speak, they had to come to their own ears to speak.
Zu Mao looked around and saw that they were all his brothers, so he commanded softly: "The general's meaning is that these ordnance will be taken away by Lao Tzu in a cart in the city." As for the grain and grass, he could bring as much as he could, and give the rest to the poor people in the city. β
"Whoa!" The man nodded in response, and turned around to convey Zu Mao's meaning.
"Wait!" Zu Mao lowered his voice and shouted. stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm and instructed: "Pay attention to discipline, this is what the lord has repeatedly advised!" β
He was really afraid that these people would do something on the island, burning, killing and looting.
"Hehe, don't worry, this is no better than Wajima, the brothers all know that no one in these bunnies dares to go against the will of the lord. If anyone violates military discipline, I, Li Yi, will chop him up with my own hands! After Li Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Zu Mao with a wide back that made people feel reassured......
West Pyeongchang in Pingyuan County was already in turmoil at this time, and yesterday a group of horse thieves with a size of 1,000 people raided one of their grain convoys outside the city. A thousand guards were scattered, and nearly 100 wagons of grain were burned. When the main general of the city ordered his troops and horses to leave the city, he was met with a rain of arrows from the horse thieves. Hundreds of people fell immediately. Then he was so frightened that the lord withdrew into the city and closed the gates.
The horse thieves were not excessive, but they just yelled at the defenders on the walls and then disappeared. Three or four hours after the horse thief left, the master sent several groups of horses to scout and sent a letter of help to Lu Xiang of Anping County. Then he simply blocked the city gates, forbidding the people to enter and exit, waiting for reinforcements from Wu Yi.
Since the fierce battle between Yuan Shao and Zhang Zhen, the Yuan army in the entire Jizhou has no real generals, the brothers LΓΌ Kuang and LΓΌ Xiang Pingyuan County and Anping County, Jiang Yiqu's Qinghe County, and Zhu Ling's Yangping County. The four will be divided into four counties. This is also a decision that Yuan Shao had to make.
But this has brought great convenience to Zhang He and Cheng Pu's actions, the four counties are not subordinate to each other, except for Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang brothers, Jiang Yiqu and Zhu Ling can't wait to see each other's jokes. Although Cheng Pu and Zu Mao were only active in Pingyuan County, and Zhang He had just arrived in Qinghe County, the flexible Bingzhou cavalry and the blue wolf battalion were not able to catch up with the slow Yuan army.
Zhang He and others gave full play to the mobility of the cavalry, and few people were damaged, and even negligible.
Jiang Yiqu of Qinghe County received a request for help from Anping County. Although it is not known where these horse thieves came from. However, West Pyeongchang is a key node in the military grain channel of Jiang Yiqu, and it cannot be wrong in any way. So Jiang Yiqu sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce West Pingchang. Among them is also the 500 cavalry sent by Jiang Yiqu ruthlessly.
But when these 3,000 soldiers crossed the only river between the Qinghe River and Anping, the cavalry led by the 3,000 Zhang Hetong, who had already ambushed the nearby land, launched a surprise attack......
