Chapter 60: The Defeat

Zhang Jaw is a little apprehensive, in order to move forward in secret, there has been no fire to cook for more than a month, the army has been gnawing on cold dry food to live, many people have already had the precursor of illness, this is not a good way, but there is no way to do it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sneak attack on Xu Du to capture Han Emperor Liu Xie!

When Yuan Shao gave this order, his eyes were completely devoid of his previous feelings, just a cold look, as if his open jaw was completely a chess piece that could be discarded at will.

It seems that there are more and more people who don't like themselves in Yuan Shaojun, in vain, now that he has won a big victory over Gongsun Zhan, everyone else is queuing up in Yecheng to receive the reward, but he has to take 10,000 people to raid Xu Capital, which is almost an arrangement with no return.

It's just that even so, he can't object to anything, after all, when he fought with Gongsun Zhan's Bai Ma Yicong, he suffered a big loss with his open jaw, and almost half of the whole army was consumed, and now the recruits who have been replenished are also sluggish, so such a new team will be sent to attack Xudu?

Zhang Jaw smiled bitterly again, this is also a way to do it, it is estimated that even if his whole army is destroyed, no one will say that it is a pity, because the Euphorbia lost a battle, he has lost the glory of the year.

The lord Yuan Shao is also a very philistine person, and when he is useless, he immediately seems to have been beaten into the cold palace, and as for the extremely intimate appearance of treating himself at the beginning, it seems that it has never happened.

This sneak attack on Xu Du was partly because of the instigation of a courtier like Guo Tu, and half of it was actually because he wanted to fight for his own breath, to prove that the Euphorbia still had strong combat power, and only in this way could he regain his former glory.

Not far from the river is still coming from the gentle sound of the water, this sound at this time makes people very enjoyable, open the jaw can't help but think of the wife at home, the people nearby say that the wife is like a lotus in the pool, beautiful and docile, bright and moving.

When everyone envied Zhang Jaw's Yanfu, Zhang Jaw himself felt that this was a dangerous signal, as a general who returned from Han Fu's side, he had always been criticized by the group of people under Yuan Shao, especially Guo Tu, he even directly said that he Zhang Jaw was not worthy of such a beauty.

Glancing at the spear in the camp tent, Zhang Jaw suddenly had some confidence, as long as the sneak attack on Xu Du was unexpected, it was not necessarily impossible to win, and then as long as he entered the palace, plundered the Han Emperor Liu Xie, and then burned Xu Du, this mission could end successfully, so that he could also alleviate the embarrassing situation somewhat after he went back.

At this time, he thought that the adjutant general walked in from outside the camp tent, and then arched his hand and said, "General, the men and horses sent to Xudu have returned." ”

Zhang Jaw sighed, he mainly adopted a sneak attack strategy this time, but Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi didn't know what kind of madness he had, so he insisted on sending a team to Xu Du first, saying what was a return gift for others, and I don't know what this gift was referring to?

"Incorporate these people into the team, they are Yuan Xi's men, take care of them carefully, don't go wrong." After Zhang Jaw gave the order, he seemed to remember something again, so he hurriedly said: "Call their leader to come over, I have something to ask him." ”

The lieutenant general immediately retreated, and in a short time, the pair of leaders who had returned from Xudu came to the camp.

Zhang Jaw commanded the seat, and then asked, "When you went to Xudu, it seems that someone assisted you, is this person reliable?" ”

The team leader nodded and said: "We have someone to take care of us all the way, and it is smooth, but the person who answered is a little strange, only a person who looks like a general greets us, as for the master behind him, we don't know very well." ”

Speaking of this, the team leader was puzzled for a moment, and then shook his head and said: "These days, we first went to attack the new city outside Xudu, but we were instantly disintegrated by the other party, we thought we could return after killing some team members, but we were assigned to assassinate a woman, this mission is really very strange." ”

The team leader was very confused about this mission, originally Yuan Xi arranged for them to come to Xudu, just to see if they could assassinate the kid named Yuan Yun, but after they came, they have been arranged to have nothing to do with it, the day before yesterday they assassinated a woman, saying that it was Xudu's Oiran, but it failed, so the general of the joint immediately sent them out of Xudu, and now all the people who came were confused, and they didn't know how to explain to Yuan Xi after they went back.

Zhang Jaw didn't care about these people's tasks in Xu Du at all, so he asked directly: "Can you contact Xu Du's internal response again?" I hope they will open the gates for me. ”

The team leader thought for a while, and resolutely replied: "When I came, the lord Yuan Xi had already explained, we must obey General Zhang's deployment when we return from Xudu, and if the general needs it, we will return to Xudu again to arrange it now." ”

Zhang Jaw was immediately overjoyed, and then stood up and said: "As long as you can open the gate of Xudu, I will give you the greatest battle achievement this time." ”

The team leader was also instantly overjoyed, and he could give an explanation to his master Yuan Xi if he could get the merits, so he immediately bowed his hand and said: "Although we were in a bit of a hurry when we came, we still have the strength, so we will return to Xudu so that we can lay a good outpost for General Zhang." ”

Zhang Jaw nodded and saluted the good man, and then continued: "The East Gate Rocket is the number, as long as you open the city gate, I will immediately lead the army straight in." ”

The team leader hugged his fists and said: "Everything is on the subordinates, we will go back and make arrangements, but the general needs to slow down the marching and give us some time to prepare." ”

Zhang Jaw nodded in favor, and immediately let the leader withdraw from the tent, if he could really open the gate of Xu Capital, he could avoid the trouble of attacking the city, so that he could at least bring some more sons back.

In an instant, Zhang Jaw summoned several of his lieutenants into the camp, and after everyone was seated, he said: "If we set off to Xudu now, it will be a day or two at most, but now we need to slow down." ”

The lieutenant generals all showed a confused look, and Zhang Jaw explained: "I have already sent people to make Xu Du Neiying, as long as they can play a role, then they can open the east city gate, so that our army can drive straight in, saving a lot of trouble." ”

The lieutenants were overjoyed, and everyone nodded their heads in good faith, and with that, he ordered the army to repair in its place and wait until the night of the second day before marching.

There was nothing to do all night, Zhang Jaw's mood at the moment has turned to happiness, as long as he wins Xu Du this time, it will definitely be a great achievement after he goes back, what else can those young people say?

The army continued to be stationed, so Zhang Jaw also sent a large number of scouts, and it seems that it is still peaceful, and the scouts will search in the direction of Xu Du for more than 20 miles, and Xu Du has not made any response at all.

In this regard, Zhang Jaw also felt that it should be so, they crossed the big river from Hanoi all the way, and marched more than 100 miles in the direction of Luoyang in the south, and finally turned in the direction of Xudu, all the way to the barren mountains and mountains, walking in uninhabited places, even if they could meet some living people, they were all shot, so they would definitely not be detected.

At noon the next day, there were scouts who kept sending information in the direction of Xudu, and the news did not change much, and the road was peaceful.

By noon, when all the soldiers had used up their dry rations and were ready to start packing up, Zhang Jaw felt a little uneasy in his heart, especially after he returned from the river, this sense of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

Zhang Jaw was very puzzled, this kind of thing had never happened in the past, so he calmed himself down a little, and then slowly began to think about everything he had arranged, and after thinking about it, he didn't find any problems, so he was even more puzzled.

At this time, the two patrol soldiers passing by in front of his tent suddenly laughed and said: "Yesterday it was a lot of effort to go to the river to fetch water, but today it is much more convenient, the water level has climbed higher, and you can get water without ropes." ”

Another soldier immediately quipped: "You are comfortable, I went to fetch water the other day, and the water level was low, and it took me a lot of effort to pull the bucket up from the river." ”

Zhang Jaw was stunned when he heard this, thought carefully for a moment, and was suddenly shocked, and immediately rushed out of the tent and shouted: "Pull out the camp!" Pull out the camp! Everyone, take refuge in the high ground! ”

Just as he opened his jaw and shouted, the sound from the edge of the camp immediately drowned out his voice, and he heard people shouting: "Run, run, the flood is coming." ”

Zhang Jaw looked in horror in the direction from which the sound came, which was the edge of the river, and in the distance, there were rows of trees on both sides of the river.

At this moment, the trees in these woods are extremely strange, as if they are being pushed by something, and they gradually fall in the direction of their camp, which seems to be very regular.

In an instant, Zhang Jaw finally saw everything clearly, a row of tall waves of water was washing from there, the speed was fast to the limit, everything that was in the way would be swept away by the current, and no one was spared.

Finished!

It was the last cry of the jaw, and in an instant the flood water poured into the camp, and the tents were like fragile petals, which had been flooded in the blink of an eye.

The soldiers in the battalion fled in panic, some of them even ran to the river, everything became chaotic, no one cared about any weapons and equipment, not even their brothers and friends could not take care of it, only knew how to run for their lives.

However, the flood was like a beast of prey, no matter how many people were wailing, it would not stop its brutal steps, and it would drown everything on the earth so quickly.

In the evening, Zhang Jaw finally gathered the remaining soldiers, and after the count, there were only three or four thousand people left, and as for the others, no one thought about it anymore, and did not dare to think about it more.

Zhang Jaw knew that the matter had been revealed, although he was anxious by the enemy's water, but now he has gradually calmed down, and began to seriously think about the way out, panic has always been his character, his calmness can sometimes be outrageous.

Suddenly, there was a trumpet sound on the horizon in the distance.

Jaw was just a little strange as to why the enemy had delayed the surprise attack for so long, and it would have been better if it had been launched before he had gathered his manpower.

"General! A thousand or so enemy troops were found in the rear! ”

Zhang Jaw was stunned when he heard this, a thousand enemy troops? Isn't it a little less? There are three or four thousand people in my own words, even if they are all washed away by the flood, but they are definitely not without combat power.

"Rectify the queue, the shield armor is in front, the halberd soldiers are in the middle, and the wounded soldiers are behind the hall, and the lieutenants will come forward with me." Zhang Jaw shouted, and the team immediately changed in an orderly manner.

After a while, Zhang Jaw, who was in the front, finally saw the enemy clearly, the opponent's armor was unified and well-equipped, no wonder he dared to attack with a thousand people.

Suddenly, he heard a muffled sound in his jaw, and in an instant, he found that a flame exploded around him, and several soldiers in thick armor turned into a push of flesh, and they couldn't distinguish the original human appearance at all.

When Zhang Jaw's heart was full of doubts, the sound of explosions began to intensify, and those soldiers with shields began to gather as if they were usually trained, and then a burst of bright light flashed, and these gathered soldiers would be blown up immediately, and those who survived would subconsciously gather again, and then be blown up, and so on and so on.

"Scatter, disperse, don't gather, scatter!" Zhang Jaw quickly noticed the problem, so he began to shout loudly.

Those soldiers who still wanted to gather heard the order of the commander, and immediately dispersed, thinking that this would reduce casualties, but who knew that rows of powerful crossbow arrows arrived in an instant, and some shield players were even killed directly by the arrows through the shield.

Even the shield can't be protected, and the next battle can be imagined.

At this time, the two lieutenants had already rushed to the front of Zhang Jaw, and then pulled him to retreat to the rear, and the other lieutenants took over the command and began to blindly attack the enemy, even if the rows of people fell madly, those lieutenants did not stop charging.

What they have to do now is to use the death raid to buy time for the main general to retreat, and when there are no troops to charge, it will be their turn to play, although they are extremely sad and angry in their hearts, none of them choose to escape, this is their war.
