Chapter 156: Rushing to the aid of Danyang City
"King Wu is not panicking, Danyang City is still in the hands of our army, a few days ago, the last general led his troops back to Danyang to rescue, when he was thirty miles away from Danyang City, he was ambushed by the Zhu army, and more than half of the soldiers and horses were lost, and now Danyang City is being attacked by the Zhu army, and King Wu needs to be rescued quickly, otherwise, Danyang City is in danger!"
Wang Chengze hurriedly told him about the past, Deng Yue listened, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, but there was no panic on his face, and after appeasing Wang Chengze, he quickly issued the order for the army to advance at full speed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At the same time, more than 14,000 Zhu troops (about 4,000 killed in battle) under the leadership of Ding Dexing and Jin Chaoxing are besieging Danyang City, which has been stormed for more than six days, and most of the 3,000 Wu soldiers and 2,000 newly recruited young men in the city have been killed and wounded.
Danyang City was in danger, Gao Lan had nothing to do, and hurriedly came to Lu Zhen to discuss, only to hear Gao Lan ask urgently: "Lu Zhendong, Danyang City must not be lost, otherwise, the back road of King Wu's army will be cut off, and the army will be in turmoil, and now Danyang City is surrounded by enemy troops, and it is difficult to send messengers for help, how should this be?" ”
Lu Zhen frowned, his face was solemn, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "There is no need to worry about the high school lieutenant, Ye Shangshu is very intelligent, if King Wu's army kills the Dantu, seeing that there are too few Zhu troops who come to meet him, he will definitely be able to find the clues, and when the time comes, he will send troops back to Danyang to rescue!" ”
When Gao Lan heard this, his heart suddenly settled down a little, and he bowed his head and said: "What Lu Zhendong said is reasonable, before the reinforcements arrive, the captain of this school will definitely defend Danyang City!" ”
After Gao Lan finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Zhen, and then left in a hurry and went back to the city to prepare for the defense of the city.
As soon as Gao Lan left, Lu Zhen's face changed suddenly, and her eyes were full of embarrassment and helplessness.
"Reinforcements? I'm afraid that we are just outcasts in the hands of Ye Weizhang! However, that Liu Ji is so good, he has become a big problem for King Wu, and he needs to be removed as soon as possible, if Ye Weizhang thinks about it like this, it is reasonable! ”
Lu Zhen cleared his thoughts, let out a long sigh, and then closed his eyes, at this time, Danyang City was besieged by Zhu soldiers and horses, with Lu Zhen injured, even if he wanted to escape, he would die for a lifetime, not to mention, Deng Yue treated him well, and he should die for him!
The next day, the two generals Ding Dexing and Jin Chaoxing led their troops to launch a fierce attack on Danyang City, and the entire Danyang City was crumbling by an army of 15,000 people.
Ding Dexing previously issued a military order to Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Ji, and if he could not capture Danyang City within ten days, he would sacrifice his head.
Seeing that the agreed deadline was coming, and the Wu army defending the city was still resisting stubbornly, Ding Dexing immediately ordered the generals of all departments: "Within two days, if you don't go all out to break through Danyang City, all the generals will be killed!" ”
The harsh military order was issued, and the two generals Ding Dexing and Jin Chaoxing took the lead, and all the Zhu soldiers and soldiers marched forward bravely.
Danyang City was attacked by the Zhu army for several days, the four city walls were already full of desolation, and the defenders were insufficient.
In the evening, Ding Dexing led a group of men and horses to rush to the head of the city, cut the lock, opened the city gate, and let a group of Zhu troops enter the city.
At the head of Dongcheng City, Lu Zhen saw that Danyang City could not be defended, so he hurriedly rushed to find Gao Lan, at this time, Gao Lan was fighting at the head of Ximen City, only to see that his eyes were red as blood, and the whole person seemed to be tireless, constantly dancing the iron spear, killing one by one Zhu soldiers.
"High school captain, Danyang can no longer be defended, let's evacuate out of the city for the time being!" Lu Zhen hissed.
Gao Lan heard the shouting, but he was still unwilling to retreat, and in desperation, Lu Zhen had to order the guards to forcibly carry Gao Lan away.
In the process of going to the west gate, Lu Zhen made arrangements, he ordered the soldiers to drive the people to the south gate, and when Lu Zhen and Gao Lan arrived at the south gate, they ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and took the people as the precursor to evacuate while the chaos.
Under the threat of knives and guns, the people of Danyang rushed out of the city in a panic, and Zhu Jun, who was outside the south city gate, suddenly saw the city gate wide open, and was overjoyed and ready to rush in.
Unexpectedly, a large number of people rushed out of the city gate, because Liu Ji had an order earlier that the Zhu soldiers were not allowed to harm the people of Danyang, so the Zhu army formation outside the south gate was rushed into chaos by the chaotic people.
Lu Zhen took advantage of the chaos of the Zhu army's formation, led more than 800 remnants of the army to rush out of the south gate, and was about to get out of the control of the Zhu army.
Gao Lan was startled, and when he was at a loss, a Wu army officer beside him rode forward, and actually used his body to block this arrow, and the arrow passed through his body, and the Wu army officer immediately fell off his horse and died.
On the other side, Lu Zhen stabbed an arrow with his gun, and the other arrow couldn't dodge, hitting his right arm, Lu Zhen screamed miserably, surrounded by the surrounding soldiers, and constantly broke through the obstacles.
The general who shot the arrow just now was Jin Chaoxing, and I saw Jin Chaoxing's eyes cold, and he led a team of cavalry to chase after Lu Zhen and Gao Lan.
Jin Chaoxing was chasing, while constantly pulling his bow and releasing arrows, his archery skills were quite sharp, often nine out of ten shots, therefore, the Wu soldiers who were guarding Lu Zhen and Gao Lan continued to fall at a very fast speed.
Two groups of men and horses chased and fled, traveled four or five miles, suddenly, the road in front of the wind and dust, a Wu army and horses are coming at a very fast speed, the first to bear the brunt, is the general Dong Qing of the expedition to the west.
I saw Dong Qinghu's eyes red, his eyes were full of anger, and when he saw Jin Chaoxing from a distance, he rode his horse and danced his knife to kill him, Jin Chaoxing's face tightened, and he hurriedly put away his hard bow and raised his gun to meet him.
In only seven or eight breaths, Dong Qing rode his horse to kill, and the nine-ring knife slashed hard, like the momentum of opening a mountain with a cracked stone, Jin Chaoxing did not dare to be careless, and raised his gun to block it urgently.
only heard a loud sound of the 'bell', sparks burst out, Jin Chaoxing's face changed drastically, and he secretly scolded Dong Qingli for his great strength.
Dong Qing saw that Jin Chaoxing's arm was trembling, and knew that he was not lightly shocked, so he immediately took advantage of the situation to attack, and the nine-ring knife was either chopping, cutting, teasing, or sweeping, killing Jin Chaoxing secretly complaining bitterly, and retreating again and again.
After only a while, most of the Wu army was killed, Jin Chaoxing saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly opened his position, turned his horse and fled in a hurry, Dong Qing waved his army to cover the kill, and killed Jin Chaoxing's subordinates collapsed and fled in all directions.
When Lu Zhen saw Dong Qing, he was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly led the remnants of the army to converge, Dong Qing greeted Lu Zhen and Gao Lan, and saw that there was a lot of blood on the two of them, and he was immediately angry, and immediately raised his knife to kill the Zhu army tide, and chased straight to Jin Chaoxing.
It didn't take long for most of the Wu army to press, and Deng Yue saw that Lu Zhen and Gao Lan were injured, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he couldn't take a break, and led the generals to catch up.
