Chapter 982: Abandon the city and flee
Under the black sky, there are only a few stars in the sky!
At the south gate of Gaoyang City, 20,000 troops gathered.
The short sword was unsheathed, the longbow was armed, and the army was engrossed, shining through the light of the torches of the city walls, and concentrating on the city gates.
Finally, after several days of reminding the fear, the Chu army wanted to go south and return to China.
The soldiers of the army, all of them are full of expectations.
The Northern War was fought too hard, and they fought against the Yan army, and their army, which was known as the most powerful army in the Chu State, was defeated again and again!
How many robes are buried in other places, and how many robes are broken, Chu Jun's heart is like a mirror.
Many Chu soldiers doubted in their hearts whether this battle between Yan and Chu could continue!
In front of the army, Han Zhitong's face was serious, under the firelight, a little condensed, he raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks, took a deep breath, held his breath, raised his hand to signal the Chu army beside him, and went forward to open the south gate!
Look, there are two Chu soldiers, carrying short swords, and the long bows of the Chu army in the rear are pointing to the city gate!
One by one, they looked cautiously at the city gate, as if facing the entrance of life and death, and no one dared to speak loudly!
The two Chu soldiers looked cautious, moved into the door hole, looked back at the army, and quickly removed the door!
Crunch!
At night, the Chu army pulled the city gate, and the south gate was exposed, and the bright light from the torches in the city shot out of the city gate.
Suddenly, outside the dark city gate, a cold wind blew,
Inside the city gate, the Chu army, who was engrossed, couldn't help but shiver coldly!
The two Chu soldiers quickly moved outside the city gate, looked around, made sure that they were safe in a short distance outside the city, and turned their heads and nodded to Han Zhitong.
"The whole army quickly left the city, according to the pre-arranged route, and quickly returned to the Chu State!" Sure that there was not much danger within a short distance outside the city, Han Zhitong's voice was low, like a beast lurking in the dark, let out a whimper, and ordered the whole army to go out of the city and go south!
Suddenly, the Chu army, which was ready to go, rushed to the city gate towards the turbulent tide!
The Cai army was not providing food, and the Chu army was in a very bad situation in the city.
Outside the city, it is possible to hide the Yan army, ambush the Chu army going south at any time, and stay in Gaoyang City, which seems to be protected by a towering city wall, but it is still very dangerous.
At present, the army of soldiers is attacking the city outside Xiyue City, the main force of the Yan army is attracted, and the opportunity is rare, and the Chu army must quickly transfer to the Chu State.
Otherwise, if they hesitate a little, if they are detected by the Yan army in Xiyue City, they may go out of the city to pursue strongly!
The army went out of the city safely, and the Chu army was on alert, and under the leadership of Han Zhitong, they moved forward quickly.
Han Zhitong took a deep breath, his tense thoughts still didn't dare to relax, and he didn't speak, and moved forward silently!
Gaoyang City, in the Shuai Mansion, Wu Jieshao walked back and forth in the study, looking anxious.
The crisis in Mocheng, the longer it drags on, the more danger there is, he is anxious to leave Gaoyang City, and leads his 50,000 troops to Mocheng to rescue.
With 50,000 people joining the army, it may not be able to change the situation, but it can delay the Yan army.
What's more, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the north, and their strength should not be underestimated, and they can temporarily block the Yan army in the north.
He led the army back and was able to have a short time to set up his defenses.
However, the spies sent back the news that Han Zhitong wanted to lead the Chu army out of the city. Nearly half an hour has passed, and there is still no news back.
Wu Jieshao muttered in his heart, worried that the night would be long and dreamy, and something would happen.
At this moment, a spy quickly ran into Wu Jieshao's study. Wu Jieshao, who had been waiting anxiously, said: "Commander, as expected, the Chu army took advantage of the cover of night to leave the city from the south gate!" ”
"Can you meet the Yan army outside the city?" Wu Jieshao asked.
Yan Jun and Emperor Yan became the dream demon in his life, and when he encountered Emperor Yan or Yan Qi, he had to be in dire straits, bloody and bloody wind.
The guards said categorically: "My subordinates are monitoring the two tea kung fu on the city wall of the south gate, and I have seen the Chu army disappear into the darkness in the south, and I have never heard of a fight in the south!" ”
Hearing this, Wu Jieshao often breathed a sigh of relief, things were really the same as planned, the Yan army was pinned down by the army of soldiers led by Yu Qiaobing, and was trapped in Xiyue City.
"Pass the military order, notify the whole army, immediately pull out, follow the pace of the Chu army, and quickly get out of the city!" On the line of life and death, Wu Jieshao didn't dare to delay a little, and did not hesitate to give orders!
"Yes!" The guard took the order, turned and walked quickly out of the study.
Wu Jieshao also quickly packed up, grabbed his sword, and rushed away
There is a Chu army in front of the test, if it encounters the Yan army, the Chu army resists, the Cai army quickly retreats to the city, if it does not encounter the Yan army, the army goes south, everything is fine.
Soon, Wu Jieshao led 50,000 Chu troops out of the city quietly, and the whole army was silent, as if walking alone, following the Chu army and quickly moving south.
At this moment, Gaoyang City has become an ownerless city, and only the people who are still asleep remain!
To the south of Gaoyang City, in the vast wilderness, the two cavalry moved quickly to the south and west to deliver the news.
In the battle of Xiyue City, Wu Jieshao and Han Zhitong led the remnants of their troops to flee from Gaoyang City in a hurry and refused to defend the city.
Lin Feng sent Cao Aman and Luo Da to lead 40,000 iron horsemen to ambush outside Gaoyang City.
First, to prevent Gaoyang City, Cai Chu's army was unwilling, took risks, and secretly stormed Xiyue City!
Second, Cai Chu's army was defeated again and again, turning into a frightened bird, Yan rode south, the sword pointed directly at Mocheng, Gaoyang City became a lonely city, and Cai Chu's army may look for an opportunity to escape.
Cao Aman led 20,000 iron cavalry and lurked thirty miles south of Gaoyang City, and Luo Da led 20,000 iron cavalry to lurk in the southwest.
Secretly form a horn momentum, defend each other, and help each other!
If Cai Chu's army eats the bear's heart and leopard's gall and leads the army to attack Xiyue City, or rushes south, Cao Aman leads the army at the south gate to block, and Luo Da attacks from the southwest, attacking from behind, and the two armies are flanked to ensure that the Yan army is in an invincible position!
Under the sky, the night is getting deeper, and there are few stars in the sky, which is getting darker and darker!
In the south of Gaoyang City, in an inconspicuous ravine, Cao Aman led his troops to lurk in it, and in the past few days, 20,000 troops have eaten, drunk and lazard all in the ravine.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears and not be discovered by the scouts who went out to inspect Gaoyang City, the army gnawed dry food, drank cold water, and was in a difficult situation.
In a pile of dry grass, Cao Aman was lying in the center, nibbling on dry food, looking up at the black sky in the sky, and his mood was very depressed.
He is a general of the war, killing the enemy on the battlefield, and he is unstoppable.
This time, the emperor sent him to defend the south of Gaoyang City to block the infestation of Cai Chu's army.
If Cai Chu's army quickly left the city and attacked Xiyue City, or fled south in a hurry.
Everyone had a hearty fight, but it was also refreshing.
However, in the past few days, Cai Chu's army has retreated into Gaoyang City, and there is no sign of leaving the city.
The long wait is worse than killing him.
However, the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and he had full authority to carry out the emperor's orders, so the long wait was uncomfortable, but he had to wait patiently.
In the misery, I can only hope that Cai Chu's army in Gaoyang City is like an ant on a hot pot like him, and he is in a hurry to get out of the city!
While waiting, a cavalryman from the north quickly went south, broke into the ravine, quickly dismounted, and ran towards the place where Cao Aman was!
Arriving at Cao Aman's side, the cavalry said in a hurried tone: "General, Han Zhitong led the Chu army and quickly went south, Wu Jieshao led the army and followed quietly, and the two armies rushed to the south!" ”
"Yes, these shrunken turtles have finally acted!" Hearing this, Cao Aman staggered up, turned to look north, stared at the dark night sky, and a thick smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!
Without thinking, he turned to stare at the guards and asked, "Cai Chu and the two armies, can General Luo know about the moves?" ”
"There are cavalry going to the southwest and reporting to General Luo!" Cavalry Road.
Hearing this, Cao Aman drew his horse chopping knife, turned around and shouted: "The whole army cheers up and prepares to meet the enemy!" ”
For a while, the Yan army in the ravine of the Yan army moved quickly, some people checked the soldiers, some people filled the crossbow with short swords, and some people pouted the withered grass around them and fed them to their war horses!
In short, within the army, there is a strong war spirit spreading, and it seems to be a trickle, flowing in the heart of Yan Jun.
Under the dark night, Han Zhitong led the army to move forward quickly, out of the city for more than ten miles, and the army did not encounter any Yan army.
Han Zhitong still didn't dare to relax, the Yan army was cunning and cunning, and before he arrived safely in the Chu State, the emperor of Cai was in the north, and there were Yan troops in the north, and he couldn't be sure that Yan army would meet him, so he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy!
In order to ensure the safety of the army to the south, Han Zhitong specially instructed Wang Xiaojie and Han Xishang's two fierce generals to lead 20,000 troops as the vanguard to explore the way ahead.
He and Han Xitong personally led the 30,000 main forces, followed closely behind, if they encountered an accident, they would not suffer heavy casualties in the whole army!
In the night, the Chu army marched quickly, but it was cautious, and the army kept a close eye on all sides. 0
While anxiously waiting, Cao Aman, who was hiding in the ravine, received news from the spies again that the Chu army in front was very close to the ambush site of the Yan army.
However, Cao Aman was in a hurry to fight, and still felt that the Chu army was moving at a turtle speed, and according to his expectations, Han Zhitong and the Chu army should have arrived a long time ago.
In the thick of the fighting spirit, and waiting for a little half a moment, under the dark night, in the darkness ahead, there was finally the sound of rustling footsteps, the sound was messy and tight, proving that the Chu army was moving very quickly.
In Cao Aman's anxious face, a smile gradually appeared!
Soon, in the darkness, there was a faint trace of the Chu army!
Cao Aman held the hammer tightly, held his breath, raised his hand to signal to the Yan army beside him, and the whole army cheered up and prepared to attack.
Two hundred steps
One hundred and fifty steps
One hundred steps
Fifty steps
Cao Aman crawled on the ground, silently estimating the distance between the two armies, wanting to find an opportunity to give the Chu army the maximum range of lethality.
Fifty steps, close enough!
Cao Aman didn't wait any longer, grabbed the hammer, stood up like a tiger, and shouted: "Shoot the whole army!" ”
The Yan army, which had been prepared for a long time, suddenly heard the military order, quickly stood up from the grass, picked up the crossbow, and shot at the moving Chu army in front.
For a while, a dense rain of arrows burst from the ground, like flying locusts, through the black night sky!
During the rapid march of the Chu army, Cao Aman's rough voice suddenly sounded, completely breaking the silence under the night, startling Han Xishang, who led the army, and Wang Xiaojie was shocked.
"Yan Jun, there is a Yan Army ahead!"
"Spread out, spread out!"
In a panic, Han Xishang and Wang Xiaojie invariably shouted and reminded them at the same time.
