Chapter 348: Zang Ba is ambushed
Liu Xuan's army pursued him to the death, making Zang Ba get closer to Dongwu County, and the more dangerous the situation became. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It is twelve miles northeast of Tobu Prefecture.
Zang Ba's army stopped.
Chang Xuan and Wu Dun came to Zang Ba's side, and Chang Xuan said: "Big brother, Liu Xuan's army is chasing after you to the death. At this rate, I'm afraid that we will be exterminated by Liu Xuan before we return to Kaiyang County. What do we do? ”
At this time, Chang Feng was very worried.
Zang Ba's eyes were sharp, and he said categorically: "Let's go to Tobu County." ”
"Tobu Prefecture?"
There was a hint of worry in Chang Xuan's eyes.
Now when I go to Tobu County, there is no food in it, so I can't hold on for too long.
Zang Ba saw Chang Xuan's concern and explained: "As you just said, Liu Xuan pursued with all his might, and after not pursuing for a day, our soldiers were reduced a lot. According to such a speed of cover-up, let alone fleeing to Kaiyang County, it is impossible to reach Ju County, the seat of Langya State. Before we arrived in Juxian, we must have been completely exterminated. So the choice now is to go to Tobu Prefecture. ”
Wu Dun said: "Big brother is wise! ”
Chang Feng said: "But in Dongwu County, there is no food!" ”
Zang Ba's eyes were cold, and he said, "If there is no food, then gather the clans of Dongwu County to give food." If you don't give it, hehe......" As he spoke, he raised his hand and slashed down, his intention obvious.
Those who do not obey will be killed directly.
As a person who was born as a bandit, robbery is a normal thing.
Zang Ba said again: "But we stick to Dongwu County, and we have to send people to Ju County for help, so that Xiao Jian can send troops to rescue." Tobu Prefecture was lost, and he could not escape responsibility. Therefore, as long as we stick to Dongwu County, Xiao Jian will definitely bring troops here. ”
When Wu Dun and Chang Xuan heard this, they also looked approving. Relying on the castle of Tobu Prefecture, and with the help of weapons and food in Tobu Prefecture, it is enough to hold on.
Zang Ba looked at the two of them and said, "Let's both go down, we will arrive in Dongwu County tomorrow." Hold on a little more today and you'll be fine tomorrow. ”
"Yes!"
Chang Xuan and Wu Dun got the order, turned around and went down to rest.
……
Donglai Army Camp.
The soldiers under Liu Xuan's command were also resting.
The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.
Liu Xuan, Guo Jia, Zhou Cang, Liu Zheng and others gathered together.
Liu Xuan said: "According to the current situation, Zang Ba's soldiers have suffered heavy losses, and if he abandons Dongwu County, it is impossible for him to escape under our pursuit." So next, Zang Ba will definitely go to Tobu County to hold on. Well, tomorrow's war will be waged in Tobu Prefecture. ”
When Zhou Cang and Liu Zheng heard this, their eyes showed excitement. As generals in the army, the two must go to the battlefield, and once they go to the battlefield, they will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Liu Xuan looked at Zhou Cang and said, "Zhou Cang! ”
"The last general!"
Zhou Cang stepped forward and saluted with his fists.
Liu Xuan instructed: "Early tomorrow morning, you will lead five hundred elites as the vanguard, catch up with Zang Ba's army, entangle him, and make it impossible for him to completely get rid of us." ”
"No!"
Zhou Cang returned to his seat, looking happy, this was a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Liu Xuan said again: "Liu Zheng! ”
"The last general!"
Liu Zheng stood up and clasped his fists and saluted.
Liu Xuan instructed: "Early tomorrow morning, you will also lead five hundred elites to follow closely behind Zhou Cang and cover the vanguard of Zhou Cang. As soon as Zhou Cang encounters resistance, he immediately attacks. When Zang Ba arrives in Tobu County, your army, as a new force, immediately enters the battle, completely blocking Zang Ba's retreat, not allowing him to escape, and must hold out until the arrival of the army. ”
There is naturally a gap between the speed of a march of 500 people and the speed of a march of 10,000 people. Liu Xuan sent two vanguard armies to set off first, that is, when Zang Ba entered Dongwu County, he would completely block Zang Ba's retreat.
Liu Xuan arranged the matter and ordered everyone to go down to rest.
Guo Jia stayed in the camp tent and said, "Second brother, there must be no accident in annihilating Zangba's army." Next, on the side of Ju County in Langya State, Taishou Xiao Jian will definitely send troops to support. So after we annihilated Zang Ba, we could prepare to ambush Xiao Jian's forces. ”
Liu Xuan said: "Big brother is reasonable. ”
The two discussed the next arrangement, and when it was almost late at night, Liu Xuan asked Guo Jia to go down to rest.
Early the next morning, the army set out.
Zhou Cang and Liu Zheng set off first, while Liu Xuan led the army to follow.
The army pursued all the way, getting closer and closer to Tobu Prefecture.
Zhou Cang bit Zang Ba's army, making Zang Ba's soldier losses more and more serious.
From the beginning of the retreat at the junction of Dongwu County and Qianqian County, to now arriving outside the county seat of Dongwu County, the soldiers under Zang Ba's command have lost two-thirds, and only nearly 4,000 soldiers remain.
When the army came to the city tower, Zang Ba shouted: "Qin Zheng, open the city gate and welcome the general into the city." ”
On the city tower, Qin Zheng and Tai Shici are all there.
Tai Shi Ci smiled and said, "Qin County Order, order to open the city gate." ”
"Yes!"
Qin Zheng had already burned down the granary, and he was afraid of death, so he could only stand on Liu Xuan's side, so he ordered: "Open the city gate and welcome General Zang into the city." ”
As the border of Xuzhou, Dongwu County connects Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou. This county is adjacent to Taishan County of Yanzhou, and borders Beihai Country and Donglai County of Qingzhou.
The location of this place is very important.
After Tao Qian took office, he strengthened the city walls of Tobu County and built the urn city to ensure the stability of Tobu County. Because of this, Zang Ba concluded that the grain was really on fire, so he dared to garrison in Dongwu County.
The city gate opened, and Zang Ba was the first to enter the city.
The more than 3,000 soldiers under his command also entered the city quickly.
Tai Shici saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.
The gate of the castle tower was opened, but after entering the castle, you had to pass through the urn city, and you had to enter the gate of the urn castle in the city before you could enter Tobu County.
It's a pity that the gates of the urn city have not yet opened.
Zang Ba led the army into the urn city quickly, and came to the gate of the urn city, but saw that the gate was closed, looked up at the city tower, and shouted: "Qin Zheng, open the gate of the urn city." ”
Qin Zheng said: "Immediately, I will give the order immediately. ”
After finishing speaking, Qin Zheng looked at Tai Shici.
Tai Shici shook his head and said, "Drag it out." "At this time, Cheng downstairs, there are still Zang Ba's soldiers who have not entered the city, and the army of Zhoucang outside the city has not yet arrived.
Qin Zheng did not give the order to open the gate of the urn city for a long time, and Zang Ba became suspicious in his heart.
Zang Ba said again: "Qin Zheng, what the hell are you doing?" ”
Qin Zheng said: "General, it will be opened immediately." ”
Zang Ba got a plausible order, and he was even more suspicious in his heart.
Without thinking about it, Zang Ba ordered: "Withdraw!" ”
As soon as Zang Ba's army retreated, Zhou Cang's army had already appeared outside the city. Zhou Cang led five hundred elites, and he had already caught up, and he shouted: "Sons, make meritorious contributions at this time, kill!" ”
Zhou Cang carried a long knife and took the lead in killing it.
The soldiers under his command followed closely behind.
