Chapter 100: Two Cities Under the Sun (2nd Watch)
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Just when Zhang Zhi and the others were about to catch up with Xu Zhao, more than ten anti-army cavalry suddenly rushed over from the side.
In desperation, Zhang Zhi had no choice but to solve these anti-army first.
However, these rebels are not fleeing rebels, but scouts in Qiantang County, which can be described as energetic.
Although Zhang Zhi and other cavalry also rested on the road, after all, they had already chased for a hundred miles, and their strength was slightly exhausted at this time.
If it weren't for the lack of anti-soldiers, I am afraid that Zhang Zhi, the Han army, would have to explain here.
"Ping Pong"
Tang Xiao, the chief of the army, blocked a rebel in front of him, and then stabbed the rebel with a sword.
Caught off guard, the rebel suddenly fell under the horse, and Tang Xiao jumped and jumped onto the rebel's horse.
As soon as he pulled the reins and kicked the horse's belly, he rode his horse quickly towards the rebels who were constantly wandering.
"Bump"
With just one blow, one of the rebels was beheaded, and over time, the Han army paid the price of six people and killed more than a dozen rebels.
Immediately, Zhang Zhi shouted, "Chase, avenge the brothers." ”
"Drink"
Just as Zhang Zhi was pursuing, he didn't hear a huge sound of horses' hooves behind him.
Xu Zhao looked at the city wall not far away, then looked back at Zhang Zhi and the others who were pursuing, and shouted loudly, "Hurry up, save the driver." ”
When the Qiantang guard saw that it was Xu Zhao, he immediately ordered, "Look at the city gate quickly, and go with a certain to save Your Majesty." With that, he rushed down to the city.
Zhang Zhi couldn't help but feel angry when he saw that hundreds of rebels had been killed from the city, but when he saw the duck in his hand flying, he felt uncomfortable, and then shouted, "Brothers, rush." ”
The Qiantang guard did not expect that the Han army, which numbered dozens of people, would dare to attack his large army of hundreds of people.
Immediately, the Qiantang guard dismounted, helped Xu Zhao onto his war horse and said, "Your Majesty, rest in the city first, and kill these Han soldiers at the end." ”
Xu Zhao was also uneasy under the protection of hundreds of people at this time, so he said "be careful" and rode away.
The Qiantang guard looked at Zhang Zhi and the others who rushed over, and said with a disdainful smile: "At this point, people still want to go back alive?" Bite off more than one can chew. ”
However, Zhang Zhi and others quickly told him with facts how difficult it is for infantry to annihilate a cavalry without time, location, long-range strike, and cavalry.
Especially when the battle formation of these hundreds of people could not reduce the speed of the cavalry.
Therefore, although Zhang Zhi and others could not inflict too much damage on the rebels, they saw a loophole and waved their troops to pierce it, so that the hundreds of rebels did not dare to act rashly.
At this time, dust and smoke suddenly rose in the distance, and the earth trembled.
Xu Zhao, who had just ridden his horse to the city gate, was chased and killed several times along the way, which can be said to be frightened.
Instead, he ordered someone to escort him to Huiji Yuji, if Xu Zhao's situation was known to Liu Hong at this time, Liu Hong would not have dared to believe that the previous plan was arranged by him.
In fact, it can be said that Xu Zhao is a good strategist, but he is not a tactician, let alone an iron-blooded general.
Ma Jian in later generations can be regarded as half a strategist, staying by Zhuge Liang's side to give advice, which is his strength.
It is a tactician who needs to lead the troops into battle, and tactics are precisely Ma Tan's shortcomings, so Ma Jian is tragic.
At this time, Xu Zhao was equivalent to Ma Jian later, and the big strategy, Xu Zhao arranged it without any difference.
But in terms of tactics, it was a mess, so it was said that this time to attack Wu County.
Xu Zhao attacked Wu County, feinted to attack Qiantang, and attacked Yuhang and Fuchun. It seems to be a tactic, but it is actually a strategy.
What about specific tactics? Almost zero.
Therefore, when the Qiantang guard was outside the city, Xu Zhao ordered to escort him to Yuji, but no one objected.
And even the soldiers on the ground rushed down, but Xu Zhao, who saw all this, not only did not blame.
On the contrary, he appreciated it very much, because he felt that it was the loyalty of the soldiers.
Immediately, Xu Zhao ran out of the east gate with 500 rebels and headed towards Huiji.
After the Wushuang Iron Cavalry annihilated the hundreds of rebels and the defenders of Qiantang, Qiantang was actually in this way.
The cavalry captain looked at Qiantang County in front of him speechlessly, and said secretly, "Qiantang County, just take it like this?" ”
At this time, Sun Jian came out and said, "Captain, it's better to pursue again." ”
When the cavalry captain heard this, he said secretly, "This Xu Zhao took only five hundred people, and he can pursue them." ”
Then he said, "Sima in the front, a thousand soldiers from the headquarters of Er's headquarters will stay to defend the city, and report the matter here to Your Majesty, and you will wait for the war horses to be handed over to the right Sima headquarters." ”
"No"
The cavalry captain looked at Sima on the right and said, "Sima on the right, the war horses in the front are handed over, and there are two war horses per person on the right, as a striker, pursuing Xu Zhao, and then slowing down with a certain rate of 3,000 men and horses, just in case of accidents." ”
"No"
After the cavalry lieutenant gave the order, Sun Jian said, "Captain, please let me accompany you." ”
"Okay!"
Immediately, the Peerless Iron Rider began to pursue again.
That's why when Liu Hong woke up, when he read the battle report, he was immediately excited, and he won two cities in one day, this speed is really fast! After all, the greater the results of the battle, the brighter the face of Liu Hong, the emperor.
However, although it is very happy, the 10,000 rebels of Fuchun have to be dealt with.
So Liu Hong found Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, at this time, how should I do it?" ”
After reading the battle report, Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, send a large army to Fuchun, and send another person who can speak to persuade him to surrender." ”
Liu Hong nodded again and again when he heard this, after all, these are the people of the Han Dynasty, if they are not the head of the thieves, they can atone for their sins.
Moreover, this southern population is sparsely populated, kill one, one less!
The northern states, once they really recruit a large army, the northern states that have not yet had the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be able to gather 100,000 people in an instant.
However, it is not good in the south, just from the history in order to attack Xu Zhao, Wujun Sima recruited soldiers and won more than 1,000 soldiers, which can be seen.
A Wu county can only recruit more than 1,000 people, which shows the small population in the south.
Although it is best to persuade him to surrender, Liu Hong doesn't know who to send, and he can't ask Jia Xu about this matter.
Because even if he asked, Jia Xu wouldn't say.
Liu Hong knew that Jia Xu had always had a bottom line, that is, not to let himself feel that his tail was too big, otherwise he would be the first to kill him.
Although Liu Hong didn't have this idea, as an emperor, he sometimes had to do so.
After thinking quietly for a while, Liu Hong said, "Order Dahonglu Yuan Kui to go to Fuchun to persuade him to surrender." ”
Jia Xu was shocked when he heard this, what is Your Majesty planning to do? Borrowing a knife to kill? Is now the time?
Thinking of this, Jia Xu immediately whispered, "Your Majesty, Da Honglu is Jiuqing, is the specification too high?" ”
Liu Hong smiled and said, "Haha, that's right, this specification is a little higher, but Fuchun's anti-army has this qualification." ”
