Chapter 677: The Autumn Wind Sweeps the Leaves
In the early morning of the second day, under the bewitchment and mobilization of the powerful family behind Chaohu, the bandits from all walks of life in Chaohu came to the outside of Zhujiabao in waves.
Zhu Jiang led hundreds of his subordinates to dig a pit desperately overnight, and the two avenues at the front and back gates of Zhujiabao had been completely abandoned, and the war horses did not dare to go up at all, and in the second half of the night, Zhu Jiang fought hard and sent some "death squads" to dig a pit at the gate of the fort.
In Zhu Jiang's opinion, after his overnight digging work, Zhang Liao's cavalry has been completely trapped in Zhujiabao, although his subordinates are tired like dead dogs, but as long as Zhang Liao is trapped to death, it is all worth it.
When the first rays of sunlight shone on the Zhujiabao gatehouse in the morning, Zhu Jiang looked at the familiar Zhujiabao gate, and his eyes flashed with madness and pleasure.
Last night let Zhang Liao live happily in his fort dock for a night, and he was homeless, today he is going to let Zhang Liao die here with remorse, he can't wait to see Zhang Liao kneel in front of him and beg for mercy, and he will never let Zhang Liao go, he will personally cut off Zhang Liao's head to make a toilet, and be ashamed of yesterday!
As long as Zhang Liao is killed, his prestige in Chaohu will be even louder, and yesterday's shame will become a merit.
"Haha, Zhu is blind, I heard that your lair was robbed, you are homeless today, you can return to my Wang Jiawu and be my first deputy marshal."
Far away, a big-headed open-chested man strode over, and it was the other bandit leader of Chaohu, Wang Yu, who was big.
Wang Datou lost more people and horses in Zhang Liao's hands than Zhu Jiang yesterday, and he was extremely ashamed and angry, but when he heard that Zhu Jiang's nest was copied last night, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
There is a saying that one person's happiness is often based on the pain of another person, and I am relieved to see that you are not good, and Wang Datou's mood at this time is like this.
In the past, Zhu Jiang pressed him, but today seeing Zhu Jiang so embarrassed, he actually felt a sense of raising his eyebrows.
Zhu Jiang's face darkened suddenly, he glared at him with one eye, and snorted angrily: "I, Zhu Jiang, am famous in Jianghuai, how can I be defeated under a mere erector, last night I just abandoned the fort dock and lured Zhang Liao into the army!" ”
Zhu Jiang pointed to the pit on the avenue outside the gate tower of Zhujiabao: "It was Ben Shuai who designed it and sent people to dig the pit overnight to trap Zhang Liao's cavalry in my fort dock, otherwise just with his cavalry coming and going a gust of wind, Ruwang's dock will be broken sooner or later!" King Ru's big head will also be brushed to death by Zhang Liao! ”
The subordinates behind Zhu Jiang were all stunned, they never thought that they could say this, and the fiasco turned into a strategy, no wonder Zhu Jiang could be a big handsome.
Wang Datou looked stunned, and before he could speak, another bandit leader who came laughed: "Brother Zhu did a good job, he has already spoken over there, as long as Zhang Liao is killed this time, Brother Zhu should be the first to make a contribution!" ”
A hint of a smile appeared on Zhu Jiang's blackened face, why did he take the trouble to intercept and kill Zhang Liao? It's not for the promise of those powerful families, although the losses are great now, as long as they can kill Zhang Liao today, they can find those powerful people to double their compensation.
At this time, Wang Datou said in a mysterious whisper: "I heard that Yuan Shu was killed by Zhang Liao in Yuzhou, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"Yuan Highway has 200,000 soldiers and horses, how can he be brushed to death?"
Zhu Jiang's face changed again, you must know that one of the promises given to him by those powerful people was that he was named a general by the Zhong Imperial Court, and he was justifiably commanding the Chaohu forces, which was what he valued the most.
……
There are more and more bandits outside Zhujiabao, but the situation inside the fort is still different.
Getting up early in the morning, Zhang Liao and the soldiers continued to enjoy a big meal without hurry, and then the soldiers wiped their weapons and straightened out their horses.
After resting all night and enjoying two more meals than ever before, the fatigue of the past few days was gone, and the three thousand cavalry, both men and horses, were full of fighting spirit, and their spirit reached their peak.
"General." Yang Han, who was watching the situation from the gatehouse of the fort, came down and said loudly: "Those thieves have dug a lot of pits outside the fort gate. ”
"Who said that you must go through the door, I didn't plan to go through the door in the first place."
Zhang Liao wiped the hook and sickle in his hand, smiled indifferently, and pointed to the left and right walls of the fort: "As long as the hoe is swung well, how can there be a corner of the wall that cannot be dug down." ”
Yang Han's eyes couldn't help but light up: "The general's clever plan!" ”
……
Outside the fort, bandits from all walks of life in Chaohu Lake have gathered tens of thousands of people, and they are still rushing over.
Looking at the Zhang Liao cavalry who was "trapped" in the fort, all the thieves were very excited, they were beaten badly yesterday, and they must be redoubled today.
In their opinion, Zhang Liao hiding in this fort is really a stupid trick, or Zhu Jiang is clever in his methods, digging a pit overnight to trap Zhang Liao here. The cavalry is not to be afraid of being trapped, seeing that Zhang Liao has no way to escape, the victory is already in hand, and even a few thieves have begun to think about how to divide the war horses after trapping Zhang Liao, they have long been greedy for Zhang Liao's war horses, and today these thieves rushed over with men and horses, just to get a piece of the pie.
At the end of the day, just as the bandit leaders were preparing to besiege the fort, the ground suddenly shook, and it seemed that there were ten thousand horses galloping in the fort.
All the bandits looked at each other, could it be that Zhang Liao was about to rush out of the gate?
"Prepare for the siege!" Zhu Jiang roared excitedly: "As long as those cavalry rush out, they will definitely turn on their backs and die!" Brush Zhang Liao to death!"
The bandit leader yelled again: "The people in the back hurry up and dig the pit again!" ”
The scene was extremely noisy for a while! The bandits roared loudly under the orders of several thieves.
If these bandits could see inside the fort, they would see that the cavalry inside was divided into two parts, tightly arrayed, running in circles and accelerating, ready to charge!
And the captive coolies left by Zhang Liao last night stood tremblingly on the east and west sides of the wall, the high walls on both sides had already been dug several zhang, and the inside of the wall was also cut, only the last push was missing.
When the cavalry ran at a high speed, as the people on the side of the wall carried the wood and hit it, the east and west two walls collapsed, and the two openings suddenly opened, accompanied by the rumbling of the earth-shaking drums, where the smoke and dust started, the cavalry who had already been ready to attack rushed out in an instant!
Outside the fort, those bandits were desperately digging pits and desperately blocking the door, but they didn't expect that the walls on both sides of the fort suddenly collapsed, and then there was the sound of hooves like thunder, and the two cavalry roared out like flying dragon lightning, drawing two arcs, outflanking them, just like the entire Zhujiabao suddenly stretched out two arms, round and hammered at them!
Zhu Jiang, who was screaming arrogantly, was stunned all of a sudden, looked at the collapsed fortress wall, and screamed miserably: "My Zhujiabao!" ”
Several other thieves were also dumbfounded, and then shouted: "Not good! Fast! Fast! ”
Looking at the roaring cavalry, they no longer knew what they were shouting fast about? There was only panic and despair in my heart, and suddenly the situation returned to yesterday, or even worse.
The bandits below were even more frightened.
They were right, the situation was indeed back to yesterday, on the wide land in front of Zhujiabao, Zhang Liao's cavalry slaughtered these bandits!
Originally, yesterday's arrows were exhausted, but they were replenished in Zhujiabao.
As the cavalry roared, in addition to the sharp swords and guns, there were also arrows pouring down like angry rain.
The screams resounded throughout the battlefield, and under this fierce blow, the bandits fled like crazy, falling one by one, and the cavalry was invincible wherever they passed.
These bandits can run rampant in the township, and they also have a certain combat effectiveness in the mountains and forests, but in the face of cavalry on flat ground, especially the cavalry with strong combat effectiveness and long-term battlefield conquest, there is no resistance at all!
The quick-witted bandits hid in the pit of the horses, scrambling to kill each other to get a safe place, and they dodged the cavalry guns, but they couldn't escape the rain of arrows.
Zhang Liao stood on the gatehouse of the fort, looking at this killing coldly, if he dares to go to the battlefield, he must have the consciousness of death, and if he dares to intercept and kill, he must be ready to die, not to mention that these people are all bandits, for the evil side, and the people are harmed, it is not a pity to die!
There was no decent resistance, and killing became the only rhythm on this battlefield!
This is a battle that is anti-guest and waits for work.
Zhang Liao recuperated in Zhujiabao for a night, and he had the idea of gathering all these bandits to kill them in one fell swoop, and then clearing the obstacles ahead.
The killing did not stop at all, and the three thousand cavalry were divided into two teams, crisscrossing and crisscrossing for more than an hour.
Zhujiabao Zhongwang Building, the outside can not see the situation in Zhujiabao, Zhang Liao from Zhujiabao but has already seen the situation outside clearly, before the cavalry rushed out of the fort dock Zhang Liao gave Yang Han an order, towards the Zhujiang several thieves where the focus is on greeting.
Therefore, Zhu Jiang and several thieves tried their best and did not escape.
Zhang Liao's cavalry killed all the thieves gathered near Zhujiabao, and then went out against the avenue, sweeping away those thieves who were rushing to "encircle and suppress" Zhang Liao without knowing the situation, and the miserable howls were all over the way.
This battle brought a greater shock to Chaohu Lake than before, Zhang Liao's iron cavalry was like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and Zhu Jiang and Wang Datou, who had been rampant in Chaohu Lake for many years, were all killed!
Along with their thieves, they were slaughtered.
So much so that after many years, Chaohu Lake no longer had banditry.
Zhang Liao's murderous reputation can stop children's night crying in Chaohu Lake and even Jianghuai.
