Chapter 50: Retreating Pursuers (5)

After Gongsun Xu finished washing, he did not go to Xingcheng Mansion to visit Jia Hui, but walked to the west city wall yesterday.

As for whether Zhao Yun and Han Yu could fight a successful battle with his cheap Lao Tzu, he didn't have the slightest idea of worrying.

Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that after he arrived in Xingcheng, he sent the scouts out and asked the scouts to find out what was going on within a radius of thirty miles from Xingcheng.

In order to ensure that he could clearly and intuitively see the environment around Xingcheng, Gongsun Xu even checked the Xingcheng Chronicles from Jia Hui.

For Gongsun Xu, a developer, those logs and city chronicles in ancient times are too simple, that is, in two or three hours, Gongsun Xu has a comprehensive understanding of the surrounding areas of Xingcheng.

Especially the three rivers near Xingcheng, where are suitable for crossing the river and where are suitable for damging, Gongsun Xu is even more clear.

Fire and water are ruthless, the most aggressive attack modes in this era are nothing more than these two, where there is water, water can be fully utilized, and victory will definitely belong to them.

Walking on the city wall, Gongsun Xu was a little embarrassed.

Yesterday the city walls were intact, but after a day, they were mottled and stained with blood.

Looking at the city gate tower, Gongsun Xu's heart throbbed slightly.

Gongsun Xu did not regret the act of giving those poor people to defend the city gate tower yesterday, because he knew in his heart that these people deserved to die.

If the Wuhuan cavalry captured Xingcheng, they would surely die.

These people should not be said to be helping him defend the city, but they should be said to be defending their homeland, and they are trading their deaths for the survival of more people.

It's not that Gongsun Xu is cold-blooded, because Gongsun Xu knows what is the most important thing.

Before yesterday's dinner, Gongsun Xu also reached an agreement with Jia Hui, and this time the pension for the poor in the city gate tower will be given according to the pension of regular soldiers.

And on this basis, they are also given some preferential treatment in their families, so that their family disciples can be exempted from labor for ten years, and all taxes will be exempted.

Gongsun continued to strode into the city gate tower, and he stood on the bloodstained city gate tower and looked into the city.

He saw that the sky was high and the clouds were light, the grass was long and the warbler was flying, and the mottled city wall was connected into a golden band of light under the sunlight, enveloping Xingcheng in the morning light, and his heart suddenly felt a lot brighter.

The only thing that made Gongsun Xu a little sad was that the streets of Xingcheng were so deserted that they were frightening, and the bluestone road that should have been busy with traffic was empty at this time, as if it was a dead city.

Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that it would take at least one to two years for Xingcheng to return to its original prosperity.

The world is prosperous, and the people are prosperous. The world is in turmoil, and the people are suffering.

I'm in such a troubled world now, and I'm in such a state now, how do I do it?!!!

At this time, Gongsun Xu felt a sense of confusion about what kind of route he would take in the future.

Dividing line ――――――――――――

The huge water in the upper reaches of the Xingcheng River, mixed with the wooden rafts, roared down, and instantly engulfed the rebel soldiers who were crossing the river.

"Don't catch me, let go."

"Hurry up and split up!"

"Don't!"

The rebel soldiers on the shore could still vaguely see the frightened and desperate faces of the rebel soldiers in the river, and they could vaguely hear the desperate howls of these soldiers.

This shocking scene made them feel a kind of extreme fear in their hearts, they did not expect that they would encounter such a horrific attack.

If it were a large number of enemies, they would not have such a frightened feeling anyway, but now they are really frightened.

The rushing river that flowed like a monstrous flood had divided their forces into two parts, making it impossible for them to communicate with each other, and the attack of the current alone had reduced their infantry to five or six hundred men.

You must know that when the infantry soldiers crossed the river, they crossed the river hand in hand, and the density was quite large, and in the blink of an eye, the five or six hundred soldiers disappeared.

Among these five or six hundred soldiers, there were those who firmly believed that as long as they held hands, they would be able to resist the torrential flow of the river, and there were also soldiers who knew how to make their colleagues let go of their hands and wanted to escape by themselves.

In short, when the river was raging, the rebel soldiers in the water were like a mass of loose sand, that is, in the blink of an eye, these soldiers were drowned by the surging river and washed away without a trace.

The soldiers on the shore near the river kept retreating, for fear that the rushing river would sweep them into it.

With this move, the rebels' formation was thrown into disarray.

The soldiers in front frantically retreated, and the soldiers in the back tried to rush to the front to see what was going on, but the team was instantly out of shape.

Just when these soldiers were panicking, Zhao Yun led more than two hundred cavalry and Han Yu's infantry army to quickly rush out of the woods not far away.

At this time, the rebel soldiers were already a little confused, and they all knew in their hearts that they had been ambushed by the Han soldiers.

If it weren't for the monstrous flood that crushed their confidence, they would definitely be able to organize a defensive formation at this time and confront the Zhao Yun cavalry that came to attack.

However, now that they were frightened, they no longer had any fighting spirit, and when they saw the Han army descending from the sky and killing them from their back, they immediately panicked and began to flee in a panic.

No matter how loudly Zhang Ye's officers shouted, the soldiers ignored them.

They had been ambushed, and so many soldiers had died, and the enemy had not only cavalry, but also large groups of infantry, and in their minds, they could not resist at all.

In such a situation, they only have one word left in their hearts, and they all want to run as far as they want.

At this time, they ran back, as long as they were out of the battle with the Han army, they could still return to Xiangping City alive, once they were caught up by the cavalry and infantry of the Han army, they would definitely be dead at this time.

The infantry soldiers on the east bank of the river were blinded, and Zhang Ye and Cha Ke on the east bank of the river were even more stunned.

The two of them couldn't figure out if they wanted to break their heads, Gongsun Zhan's team had been chased by them like dogs and ducks, and when there were ambushes running behind them.

If it weren't for Gongsun Zhan's troops, then where did those soldiers come from?!!!

Zhang Ye and Chack were anxious and even more at a loss.

The two of them didn't know exactly what they were going to do at this point.

A shadow crept up into the hearts of the two people, could it be that there was a problem with the promotion of the cavalry over there??!
