Chapter 81: The siege is frustrated
Zhu Jun suffered a setback, the army's morale was slightly turbulent, and deviated from the original route, Xu Da was a little worried about the battle situation, and asked the military guide: "Where is this?" How long is it from Chuzhou City? ”
The guide officer replied solemnly: "General, this is Caolongtang, the surrounding terrain is complicated, if you take a shortcut, you can reach the city of Chuzhou in less than a day, but this shortcut road needs to go through the mountains and mountains, because of the dense trees, it is very easy to be attacked by fire." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf it is a long detour, it will take two or three days, and the advantage is that the place you pass is flat, and there is no need to be afraid of ambushes. ”
Xu Da listened to this, and after thinking for a while, he still cautiously chose to march around the long road.
At this point, Li Ke only used 3,000 soldiers and horses to block more than 8,000 Zhu troops for four or five days.
Under the city of Chuzhou, in the face of the provocation, agitation, and temptation of the broken army, the defenders could not defend without spending their lives, and they did not need to pay attention to the scolding of the broken army under the city.
Deng Yu had no way to break the situation, and time was pressing, so he had to order all the troops to storm Chuzhou City, and strive to conquer Chuzhou City within five days.
On the third day of the attack, Deng Yu considered that the north gate of Chuzhou City was covered with mountain roads, and the east gate was blocked by the Qingliu River, so he concentrated his forces and attacked the west gate from the unified army, and ordered Lu Zhen to lead an army to attack the south gate, leaving the north and east gates unsurrounded.
At the west and south gates, the broken army carried huge wooden stakes and slammed into the city gates, and all the defenders were afraid of the cold, bald and strong, and they were desperate to find Geng to discuss.
Speaking of which, although this Geng Zaicheng looks like a tiger's back, burly and strong, but he is a careless and careful person, when he was young, he once worshipped a famous teacher to learn the art of war, and the villagers saw that he was as powerful as an ox, but they learned from Confucianism, and secretly made fun of him.
Geng Zaicheng didn't think so, he said to the villagers that if you fight on the battlefield by force, you will be an enemy of a thousand people at most, but you can learn the art of war, strategize, and win a victory thousands of miles away, but you can be an enemy of ten thousand people! When the villagers heard him say this, they no longer dared to underestimate him, and they all thought that he would have some extraordinary achievements in the future.
Geng Zaicheng obeyed the call of Vulture Jian Buhua and came to the city to watch the battle, he saw Deng Yu arranging troops like this, and secretly sneered in his heart, it happened that Vulture Jian Buhua rushed to ask for advice, Geng Zaicheng taught Vuld Jian Buhua to be so and so, and Vulf Jian Buhua was overjoyed after hearing this, and laughed: "Hahaha, General Geng's plan is wonderful, you should act quickly!" ”
Geng Zaicheng saw Deng Yu riding back and forth at the west gate, commanding the siege, attacking from morning to night, and the soldiers and horses were gradually tired, so he immediately sent someone to inform him that Bald Jian could act.
After receiving the signal, Vuljian immediately ordered Uliang Harisu to stay in the city, and then asked Huanut Mudai to send troops with him.
Half an hour later, Bald Jian did not spend a Yuan army out of the east gate, turned to the south gate, and came to fight against Lu Zhen's troops, and at the same time, Geng Zaicheng led the army out of the north gate and turned to the west gate to meet Deng Yu.
However, it was said that Deng Yue saw the sun setting in the west, wanted the army to fight for a long time, and was exhausted, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army, but not long after the retreat of the broken army, the earth-shaking drum sounded at the head of the city, and then, a group of men and horses came to kill in the direction of the west gate.
Deng Yue saw it, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to form a formation to resist, but the soldiers were tired of attacking the city, and under Geng Zaicheng's brave charge, the formation broke as soon as he rushed.
Deng Yu knew that if this continued, the army would be hit hard, so he immediately twisted the Tiger Wing Liuyun Knife and suddenly turned around to fight Geng Zaicheng.
Geng Zaicheng saw Deng Yu come back to fight, and was immediately overjoyed, thinking that after killing Deng Yu, he would be able to increase his official rank, and the fighting spirit became more and more high-spirited, the two horses rushed to each other, Geng Zaicheng swung a knife and slashed directly at Deng Yu's face, Deng Yu's sword resisted at the same time, and his left hand pulled out the sword on the side of the horse, and stabbed Geng Zaicheng in the abdomen.
Geng Zaicheng was startled, and hurriedly drove to dodge, Deng Yue took advantage of the situation to attack, the swords came out, and the dance was impenetrable, Geng Zaicheng was killed by Deng Yu for a while, and turned to attack and defend.
Deng Yue was tired for a day, after a fierce attack, the offensive gradually slowed down, there was spare strength and insufficient strength, Geng Zaicheng sensed the opportunity, suddenly erupted, a knife slashed, Deng Yue out of the sword block, due to lack of strength, the sword was shocked and bounced away.
Deng Yu lost his sword, considering that his physical strength could not fight for a long time, so he swept his position, turned his horse and retreated to the mountain road.
Deng Yue whipped and galloped, and after walking about two or three miles, the mountain road in front of him suddenly sounded the sound of horses' hooves, Deng Yue was shocked, and secretly thought that there was an ambush in front of him, and there were chasing soldiers in the back.
Just when Deng Yulera turned around and was about to fight with Geng Zaicheng, the first general in front shouted: "The front is handsome? ”
Deng Yue was familiar with this voice, and immediately knew that the person who came was Dong Qing, the general under his command, and immediately shouted: "Capture the tiger and come to help!" ”
Dong Qing heard Deng Yue's shouting, and immediately Pegasus came to help, it turned out that Li Ke was worried that Deng Yue would not be able to attack Chuzhou City for a long time, and the soldiers were tired and were attacked by Bald Jianbuhua, so he let Dong Qing rush back first, Dong Qing galloped according to the order, and happened to bump into Deng Yu who was being chased.
Geng Zaicheng, who was trying to capture and kill Deng Yu and thus set up a great dream, saw Deng Yu suddenly stop, overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped up the pursuit, as he approached Deng Yu step by step, Geng Zaicheng found that a burly general crossed Deng Yu and Pegasus killed him.
"It's not good, the reinforcements of the Broken Army are here!!"
Geng Zaicheng knew that he could no longer capture and kill Deng Yu, and if he was not good, he might trap himself in it, so he fled at the moment, Dong Qinghu's eyes were round, and he was extremely vicious, and he chased after him, and the dozen or so Zhu army cavalry who followed Geng Zaicheng were caught up by Dong Qing, and they were cut down and fell off their horses in just a few breaths.
Geng Zaicheng listened to the screams and sorrows coming from behind, fear surged, and fled with his life, Dong Qing chased and scolded, Geng Zaicheng only cared about fleeing for his life, and the two of them went one after the other until the city of Chuzhou.
Seeing that Geng Zaicheng was being chased and killed, the crossbowmen at the head of the city hurriedly sent arrows to block Dong Qing, Dong Qing waved his knife to block the chaotic arrows, and the momentum was unabated, Geng Zaicheng was so frightened that he rushed into the city gate.
Seeing that Dong Qing was about to break into the drawbridge with Geng Zaicheng, at this time, dozens of Yuan army pikemen poured out of the city, and the Yuan army's pikemen spears stabbed directly, such as dozens of spitting poisonous snakes, Dong Qing saw it, and a trace of solemnity flashed between his eyebrows, but he soon strengthened his fighting spirit, only to see Dong Qing swinging his knife and slashing wildly, killing the blood of the Yuan army's pikemen, and screaming miserably.
Although Dong Qing was brave, as soon as these pikemen stopped him, he still let Geng Zaicheng take the opportunity to escape into the city, and urgently ordered the soldiers to pull up the drawbridge, and the drawbridge was together.
Dong Qing killed the surrounding enemy troops, his tiger eyes were cold, and he immediately looked at Geng Zaicheng at the head of the city, and said coldly with full anger: "Guts and rats, sooner or later you will be taken to the top level!! ”
After Dong Qing finished drinking, he immediately pulled out his horse and retreated, and the crossbowmen at the head of the city were all shocked by Dong Qing's might, and watched Dong Qing leave, but they didn't know how to shoot arrows.
