Chapter 961: Huang Gai died in battle
Guo Jia was in the distance, very calm, reinforcements arrived, and he also wanted to know how Sun Ce's soldiers and horses would respond.
The victory in this battle has basically been locked, and Lujiang County has been defeated, so the entire Poyang Lake is under control.
"If Zilong's side can go well, maybe he can achieve greater results."
Guo Jia also regretted that there were too few soldiers and horses that could be mobilized.
Zhang Yu had 1.35 million regular troops, but the territory was too large, and the territory was separated by a line, which made it more difficult to defend.
Although there are many soldiers and horses, they cannot effectively defend.
Four states, one state has already gone 1.2 million if it is divided into 300,000.
What's more, there is basically no big rear, and it is impossible to draw soldiers and horses from the rear.
Zhang Yu They really don't have a rear, and all four states are directly facing the enemy.
Reinforcements rushed towards Huang Gai and Jiang Qin.
After Jiang Qin found out, he gradually retreated from the front line and prepared to command the army.
They still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they still have the strength to fight.
Jiang Qin put the army under the command of several lieutenants, and he went to Huang Gai's side.
"Old General Huang, it's better for us to break out from the front and move closer to Lujiang County." Jiang Qin said.
That's a good idea.
"Yes, but wait until I block the reinforcements, otherwise they have a mobile army that can stop them at any time." Huang Gai said.
Jiang Qin nodded and said, "I'll go and make arrangements, and go to the front to prepare." ”
After the two discussed, they could also see the shadow of Jiangdong's reinforcements.
They went around in half a circle, and then killed from the flanks.
"Kill."
"Rush."
Several young generals suddenly erupted and rushed directly over, trying to use a sweeping method to shock and disperse the enemy army.
Several young generals suddenly exerted their strength, and the effect was good, Huang Gai organized 20,000 soldiers and horses to stop them, and they were attacked fiercely, with one dead and wounded, and the formation was almost broken.
Huang Gai calmly dealt with it and led the soldiers to retreat slowly, so that the formation was not broken for the time being.
Huang Gai was under tremendous pressure, and enemy reinforcements came in, which dealt a heavy blow to their morale.
After several young generals arrived, they took turns to attack, and the impact of 50,000 troops was really like Mount Tai pressing the top.
The impact of Jiangdong's army was very strong, and Huang Gai and them retreated again and again.
On the other side, Jiang Qin led the army to continue to fight with the enemy, and the situation was not very good.
Huang Gai's forces were rapidly depleting, and the huge casualties made him feel powerless.
In half an hour of the battle, Huang Gai's soldiers and horses exceeded 10,000.
Their forces are shrinking, and the situation is not very good.
After another half an hour of fighting, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses were completely pressed and beaten, and the total strength was only more than 40,000 people left.
"General Huang, this is a good time for us to break out, and we must break out." Jiang Qin had already discovered the loophole and came to inform Huang Gai.
"Leave me five thousand soldiers and horses, and I will cut off the queen for you." Huang Gai said.
"No, break out together, and it won't be of much use for General Huang to stay." Jiang Qin was at a stalemate.
"Okay, let's break through together, but I'll break the back." Huang Gai said.
This time, Jiang Qin did not insist, but immediately went to arrange it.
At this time, Fusang's casualties were very large, and Jiang Qin could no longer be surrounded, so Jiang Qin proposed to kill him at this time.
"Rush out."
"Kill."
Jiang Qin gathered several lieutenant generals, took the lead with them, and led the army to kill.
Jiangdong soldiers and horses saw that they actually wanted to break through and intercept them, but it was too late.
"Cut them off."
Although it can't be stopped, it has to come in and intercept it.
At the same time, the rest of the army pressed up.
"Kill, kill."
At this time, the Fusang army did not cooperate enough, and it actually became an obstacle to the road.
Fuso's army was disorganized, not easy to mobilize, and poorly coordinated, which became an obstacle.
"Let's go, let's stand back and go around."
After being entangled for a while, several young generals simply did not kill them directly, but retreated one after another, wanting to bypass the edge of the battlefield.
The army of 10,000 retreated, and then killed Sun Ce's soldiers and horses.
Guo Jia soon got the news.
"It's amazing, it actually allowed them to find a chance to break through, and it was very smart to choose Lujiang County."
If they break through from other directions, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses will definitely follow and chase them all the way.
However, they had no city to defend and nowhere to hide, and they could only be annihilated.
But if they can successfully enter Lujiang County, then the situation will be different, they can at least have a city defense, and they can take a rest.
Guo Jia ordered: "Let the army of Lujiang County pay attention to the defenders in the city, don't rush to intercept it, you can remove the encirclement and concentrate the army." ”
Lujiang County, this time is their target, Guo Jia is not afraid that the army in the city will run, if they want to run, let them run.
And if the army over there rashly intercepts and is flanked from the front and rear, it is obviously not cost-effective.
The rest of Guo Jia didn't care much, he was still able to accept the situation on the battlefield, let them run this time, be careful next time.
Guo Jia did not expect the enemy army to be able to break through.
Jiang Qin led his army to break through the encirclement, but they did not break through quickly.
More than 10,000 Jiangdong troops made a detour to catch up and blocked some of the troops who had no time to escape.
"General Huang."
Jiang Qin rushed out and found that Huang Gai was blocked.
Huang Gai was not panicked after finding that he was blocked, and there were more than 6,000 soldiers and horses around him.
"Come back to Lujiang County." Huang Gai didn't know if Jiang Qin heard it, he knew that he couldn't run anymore, so he had to fight hard.
Jiang Qin tried to go back to the rescue, but when he wanted to go back, he found that Jiangdong in the rear quickly caught up from both sides, and if he was delayed and entangled, he really couldn't run.
"Let's go."
Jiang Qin had no choice but to leave Huang Gai and leave alone.
Jiang Qin also brought an army of about 30,000.
There were two armies of more than 10,000 people to pursue Jiang Qin, and the rest surrounded Huang Gai.
Huang Gai formed a circle formation, ready to continue to resist.
But Huang Gai also knew that the general trend had gone.
"Old lord, the old minister has come to see you."
At this time, Huang Gai remembered Sun Jian, he had been following Sun Jian to fight the world, and now he followed Sun Ce, but today he is going to die on the battlefield.
As for surrender, Huang Gai did not think about it.
was surrounded, the fate was very simple, after the death battle, Huang Gai finally died on the battlefield.
In this battle, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses were wiped out about 60,000, plus the losses from the previous attack on Hefei City and Chao County, Jiang Qin ran away with nearly 30,000 people.
On the Jiangdong side, Fuso's army also lost more than 43,000 people, and Jiangdong's soldiers and horses lost about 10,000 people.
The casualties on both sides seemed to be about the same, but Guo Jia was very satisfied after hearing it.
You must know that Jiangdong's soldiers and horses only lost 10,000 people, which is a huge result, and as for the Fusang army, Guo Jia didn't take it to heart.
"Lujiang County, it's stable."
