Chapter 8: Surrender to the Enemy

After Zhang escaped from Wuyuan Valley by the thieves, he panicked. All the thieves and soldiers were very hungry, and Zhang You at this time had long since lost the majesty of the king of a village, his armor was tattered, and his expression was pale.

"King, this place is deep in the mountains and mountains, and if you can't find food for a long time, I'm afraid they will rebel." The guard leaned in and whispered to Zhang You.

"How many remnants have you gathered?" Zhang You asked regardless of the sleepiness caused by hunger.

"There are probably four or five thousand left, and everyone else is either lost or killed while fleeing for their lives." Konoe explained, "The total number of weapons and armor is less than three thousand. ”

"In other words, we have less than two thousand soldiers?" Zhang Yousheng suddenly improved a lot, and the more than 10,000 soldiers brought out by the scenery at the beginning lost seven or eight thousand after a night of attack and killing! Zhang Yu was bitter, and Konoe was about to say that there was a shortage of food. Zhang You's heart was crossed, and he said: "Let those who have the strength to fight bring weapons, and we will quickly find the village to rob the grain." As for the others"

He snorted coldly and said, "I, Zhang You, don't have the habit of raising waste, let them fend for themselves here!" The guards did as they pleased.

"King, don't you want us?!"

"You can't do this, my lord! We've been with you for so long, you can't abandon us! ”

"Brothers, we're the opposite! If he can abandon us, why should we work for him! One of the lieutenants grabbed a large knife nearby and killed him.

Zhang You smiled cruelly, waved his hand, and several guards instantly hacked the lieutenant to death. Zhang You kicked the head of the lieutenant general and said coldly: "This is the consequence of the rebellion!" Come on, let me see what you are capable of! ”

Such a bloody side frightened those who had no combat power to stop daring to stir, and witnessed Zhang You leaving with 3,000 people, leaving more than 2,000 wounded people looking at each other and not knowing what to do. I don't know how long it took, but someone finally left with a hungry body.

One... Two... Three....until there was no one left, they knew that it was better to stay here and wait for death, than to climb the mountains and find the village to survive.

At this time, Chen went to the side of training 800 soldiers.

"Report! The lord sent scouts back to report something. When the messenger came from outside the tent, Chen Zhi was suddenly shocked, rushed out of the tent and asked, "What about the person, ask him to come to see me." ”

Liu Qi has been away for more than two months, and Chen Zhi has been worried about his safety all the time. When he heard the news at this time, he was naturally nervous. The scout from the scout camp was brought in and reported: "General Chen, the lord is fine, so you don't need to worry. ”

The scout's words made Chen Zhi feel a lot more relieved, and asked, "Where is the lord now?" The deadline is fast approaching and it's time for us to go back. ”

"The lord is in Wuyuan Valley and has encountered thieves." The scout informed Chen Zhi of a series of events together, and gave Liu Qi's order: "Order Chen Zhi to lead 800 soldiers to Juzi Mountain to ambush the thieves and meet the scout camp." This battle is not trivial, and I hope that General Chen will arrange the ambush. ”

Chen Zhi bowed down and took the token and said, "No! Please reply to the lord, Chen Zhi will not disappoint the lord. ”

The scout was ordered to leave, and Chen Zhi's expression was grim, and he said, "Assemble all of them, go to Juzi Mountain to prepare to ambush and defeat the defeated soldiers, and give the lord a big gift." ”

"No!"

******************

The vertical sun rings at noon, and the five plains are in the valley.

Liu Qi personally arranged the training, and there were Xun Yu, Chen Bao, and Xu Chu standing beside him.

The hundreds of villagers brought by Xu Chu were obviously not suitable for the training of scouts, and Liu Qi let them form a battalion of their own to practice the method of spear killing the enemy, and they were led by Xu Chu. In yesterday's battle, hundreds of villagers saw the power of defeating thousands of thieves with just two hundred scouts, and now Liu Qi instructed him to train the army, Xu Chu was very happy, and promised to train an elite such as a scout battalion for Liu Qi.

Liu Qi looked at the hundreds of villagers practicing and asked, "Wen Ruo, how is this method of training compared to other heroes?" ”

Xun Yu frowned a little, thought for a while, and said: "This kind of training method is unseen and unheard of, but it is very effective. Compared to other elites, not bad. Less is only actual combat. ”

"The actual combat will be there soon." Liu Qi said something incomprehensibly, and when he raised his eyes and saw that the scouts sent out had returned, Liu Qi smiled and said, "Come on, pass on!" ”

In the tent of the Chinese army, the scout said: "Report! General Chen had already gone to Juzi Mountain to ambush Zhang You's thieves according to the arrangement of the lord. Liu Qi was overjoyed and said, "How much combat power does Zhang You's thief soldiers have left now?" Have they made it to Komako? ”

The scout replied: "In yesterday's battle, there were not many of Zhang You's thieves left, and according to the scout's report, there were still about 3,000 fighting forces left. Zhang You's thieves have already entered the Funiu Mountain Road, and it is expected that they will arrive at Juzi Mountain at noon tomorrow. ”

Liu Qi waved his hand to let the scout retreat and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Xun suggests for this battle?" ”

Xun Yu couldn't smile bitterly, although he had not yet made it clear that he had done so, Liu Qi did not let go of the opportunity to squeeze him. Xun Yu said: "Behead, submit." ”

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, but then he thought clearly. With his current strength, there is no way to annihilate more than 3,000 thieves at once, this is the method of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of themselves.

"That's right. Zhongkang, this battle is up to you. Liu Qi nodded Xu Chu's name and said, "Lead eight hundred sword and shield men to attack the rear army of the thieves, and be sure that the other party can't care about each other." Ziyong, you lead the scout battalion to flank and distract them from the feints. ”

"No!" The two of them answered the line at the same time, ready to go.

Liu Qi glanced at Xun Yu, and was about to reject Hou to protect Xun Yu, but Xun Yu said: "Young General, don't forget the agreement between us, although Xun Wenruo is a scholar, he is not powerless. Liu Qi gave up at this time, secretly thinking that he would take more care of him when the time came.

************************

After a day and night, the more than 3,000 thieves led by Zhang You were already tired, and now they retreated to the cottage in a panic and hungry.

A large army of more than 3,000 people had the strength to rush through the Funiu Mountain Road. Zhang You ordered his guards to keep urging his soldiers to keep up, but he followed in the middle of the ranks.

"Report!" A guard came in quick and said, "King, after Funiu Mountain, and then over Juzi Mountain, we will return to our Dazhai." ”

"Good!" Zhang You couldn't help but be overjoyed, and urged: "Let them speed up, and they will have food when they return to the cottage!" "After a day and a night of traveling, thousands of people basically didn't eat. There were no mountain villages on the way, so they were already fainting from hunger at this time.

"Quick! Speed up, there's a copycat ahead! The guard urged: "The king has ordered, as long as you return to the cottage, there will be a delicious meal!" As soon as these words came out, more than 3,000 people immediately swallowed their saliva, and their pace was much faster.

At this moment, the left and right of the Funiu Mountain Road "Boom!" Bang! There were several loud noises, and the thieves were shocked, and fierce rolling logs and stones rolled down the mountain roads on both sides! The rolling wood and stones instantly engulfed the defenseless thieves who had fallen at the front of the team, screaming and screaming, crying and shouting for their mothers, and hundreds of people died on the spot.

"What's going on......" Before Zhang You could ask, a lot of rolling logs and stones suddenly broke down the team, and he exclaimed: "This is rolling wood!" There is an ambush! At this time, it was too late to speak, more than 3,000 thieves were already hungry, and now they were ambushed by Chen Zhi's ambush, and most of them lost their lives on the rolling wood and stones without much resistance. All of a sudden, the team of more than 3,000 thieves was in a mess.

Zhang You finally managed to gather less than 3,000 chaotic troops, and slightly stabilized the army's morale. Unexpectedly, hundreds of elites rushed out in front of the road, and the first general shouted: "Zhang Youthief! Chen Zhi has been waiting here for a long time! ”

But when he saw the military flags raised on both sides of the mountain road, the word "Liu" was written on them, and the equipment of the soldiers who rushed over was more than twice as good as his own. Seeing that this group of soldiers was about to rush to the front, Zhang You shouted: "Even hundreds of people dare to block my way!" Kill me, boys! Having said that, the man kept retreating in the crowd of guards, allowing the minions to step forward as cannon fodder.

Chen Zhi was not afraid of the scattered thieves, and snorted coldly: "Kill yourself!" Kill! "Hundreds of elites have been training for more than three months, and at this time, they can't help but be excited to rush and kill when they encounter thieves. As soon as the two armies were handed over, the elite led by Chen Zhi instantly tore a gap among more than 2,000 people.

Chen Zhi fought bravely, and when he saw that he was about to break into Zhang Youyuan's heart, he didn't expect it to be at this moment. Zhang You's personal guards suddenly exerted their strength, and surrounded Chen Dao, and for a while, the two sides were at a standstill.

Zhang You, under the escort of the remaining personal guards, had already come to the rear of the team.

"Anti-thief, eat me with a knife!" A bolt from the blue! Zhang You was caught off guard by this roar like a tiger pounced on food, and he was frightened. The cold light flashed, and Zhang You saw that his body was instantly out of the control of his head.

Xu Chu slashed Zhang You to death with a knife, hacked the remaining guards to death with a few knives, provoked Zhang You's head, and shouted: "The thief's first Zhang You is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!" ”

"Zhang You is dead, those who descend will not be killed!" The sergeant who followed Xu Chu shouted. Xu Chu held Zhang You's head high, rushed into the chaos, and shouted: "The thief's first Zhang You is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!" ”

"Those who descend will not be killed!" Chen Zhi knew that Liu Qi had sent someone to answer him, and the fact that Zhang You was dead was in front of him, except for Zhang You's loyal personal guards, they all abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Liu Qi looked depressed and Xun Yu on the top of the mountain not far away, watching Xu Chu solve the battle in less than one round, and said in surprise: "Zhong Kang is really a tiger general in the world, taking people's heads is like probing for things." I thought there was a fierce battle..."Liu Qi's face was still unfinished.

"......" Xun Yu smiled bitterly on the side, and said in his heart that the other party is already tired, and after being chased by you all night, he has long lost the strength to fight again, where is there still a chance to fight.

At this time, Xu Chu Chen and the two had a tacit understanding to collect the defeated army and abandon their weapons, collect the defeated soldiers and wait for Liu Qi's arrival.

Liu Qi packed up his slightly frustrated emotions because he couldn't see the two armies fighting, and Xu Chu bravely killed the enemy, and said, "Mr. Wenruo, let's go over." This battle can replenish such soldiers, and Mr. has contributed a lot. ”

Xun Yu said in his heart, if it weren't for the careful investigation of the scout battalion, this battle would not have been able to be harvested from this. He was silent, and went to the battlefield that had just stopped with Liu Qi.
