Chapter 042: Jiangxia's Great Victory
The 10,000 horsemen of the Wu army were divided into two routes, starting from the east and west gates, and outflanking the Jingzhou military camp stationed in the north of the city. The leader of the Eastern Route Army was Sun Jiao, and the Western Route Army was Sun Jiao's confidant and favorite general Li Yun, a native of Jiangxia.
In the middle of the night, the Wu army on both roads has been in place, at this time the Jingzhou military camp is brightly lit, the patrol soldiers come and go unconsciously, the white cloth and white flags in the camp are faintly visible, and the soldiers' helmets are wrapped in white cloth, showing a sad face.
Seeing this scene, Sun Jiao was overjoyed, and said in a low voice: "Tonight can be paid for 50,000 Jiangbei Wu troops!" β
Sun Jiao saw that it was also deep, the lights of the Jingzhou military camp were gradually extinguished, and the soldiers patrolling seemed to be much less, at this time it was already the second half of the night, it was the most tired moment for people, Sun Jiao smiled slightly, I know, the opportunity has come!
Sun Jiao waved his hand, the first row of soldiers behind him held short knives in their mouths, bowed their bodies, and then the concealment of the grass, quietly advanced during the period, slowly approaching the Jingzhou military camp, fifty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters, one meter, the sweat beads on Sun Jiao's forehead continued to flow down his cheeks, his eyes stared ahead, and he counted silently in his heart.
The first row of soldiers stopped at the fence outside the Jingzhou barracks, gave the first captain a short knife, turned his head, and gestured to Sun Jiao, Sun Jiao nodded, the captain smiled slightly, turned his head, waved his hands, and gestured to the soldiers beside him.
I saw that those soldiers jumped in an instant, turned over and entered the camp, and in groups of two or three, they touched the soldiers guarding the camp.
The sentries in the camp of "One, Two, Three ......" were put down one after another, and the soldiers of the Wu army who entered the camp moved away from the horse rejection stake in front of the camp and opened the gate of the village.
Sun Jiao was overjoyed, jumped up, turned over on his horse, pulled out a long knife from his waist, and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" β
In an instant, the sound of killing outside the camp was everywhere, and Sun Jiao took the lead, rushed into the Jingzhou military camp, and rushed straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, but ......
"That's not right! How can it be so quiet? There was no resistance, not a single Jingzhou soldier rushed out of the sleeping tent, and even the soldiers who patrolled just now disappeared without a trace, and his intuition told Sun Jiao, "It's not good, it's a trick!" β
Sun Jiao's words did not fall, only a cannon sound was heard, and the fire outside the camp suddenly soared into the sky, and the Jingzhou army rushed over from all directions, shouting and killing loudly.
"Retreat!" At this time, Sun Jiao and Wu Shuo's soldiers and horses were all surrounded in the camp, unable to break free, Sun Jiao took the soldiers, slashed left and right, trying to break out, but there were too many Jingzhou troops, and the outside had been surrounded.
At this time, a voice sounded outside the camp, "Listen inside, you have been surrounded, please lay down your arms, stop resisting, the people and the government will give you leniency!" "It's the voice of Young Master Zhuge , at this time, Young Master Zhuge is under the escort of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, under the handsome flag outside the camp, shouting to the inside with his own self-made loudspeaker.
Xu Shu on the side rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said: "Siyuan, now is not the time to mess around, quickly order the army to enter the camp and capture Sun Jiao alive!" β
When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he looked into the distance, and saw a fire dragon appearing not far away, running towards the camp, smiled slightly, nodded, waved his hand, and shouted: "All the troops go forward, capture Sun Jiao!" β
The generals who had been waiting for a long time were overjoyed, pulled out their sharp blades one after another, and rushed in with the soldiers, the Wu army fell one after another, and Sun Jiao in the camp saw this, tears fell like rain, looked up to the sky and howled, and said: "Heavens! Isn't my Sun Jiao going to die here today? β
Before the words fell, a voice outside the camp sounded: "General don't panic, Hao Pulai also!" β
But seeing Hao Pu taking the lead, holding a big knife, rushed into the military formation, slashed left and right, as if entering a no-man's land, the Jingzhou army, which was already in the hands of victory, was suddenly stabbed in the back, and instantly became chaotic, Sun Jiao was overjoyed when he saw this, raised the big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Follow me!" β
With the Wu army rushed to the direction of Hao Pu, the Jingzhou army that was attacked before and after were scattered to both sides, the soldiers of the Wu army saw it, and immediately had morale, chasing Sun Jiao all the way to kill, after the Wu army and Hao Pu joined the division, they rode their horses and whips, and went straight to Lingling.
The generals were furious and were about to lead their troops to chase after them, but they stopped than Young Master Zhuge and said, "Don't chase after the poor guys!" β
The generals glared angrily, watching Sun Jiao break out of the encirclement, and they were all extremely depressed.
Young Master Zhuge and Xu Shu looked at each other and smiled, and returned to the camp.
Hao Pu rescued Sun Jiao, the two armies were united, retreated into Lingling, counted the soldiers and horses, Sun Jiao's department lost thousands, Sun Jiao sighed slightly, held Hao Pu's hand and said: "If it weren't for Zitai tonight, my life would be over!" Please accept me too much! He bowed down and bowed.
Hao Pu was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly helped Sun Jiao up, and said: "If the general doesn't want to avenge my family, why is he in danger, if you want to say thank you, it is also Hao Pu who should thank the general!" As he spoke, he leaned over and was about to salute Sun Jiao.
Sun Jiao also hurriedly helped Hao Pu up, and said with a smile: "After this battle, you are brothers in distress!" In the future, if Zi Tai has any difficulties, just tell me, my Sun Jiao will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up! β
When Hao Pu heard this, his eyes were hazy, and tears couldn't help falling, and he said: "With the general's words, Pu has no regrets even if he dies!" β
The two of them put their arms at each other and laughed loudly.
After this battle, the morale of the Wu army was even more sluggish, and they were unable to go out of the city to fight with the Jingzhou army, so they had to stick to the city and wait for reinforcements from Jiangdong.
Outside the city, Young Master Zhuge led the army to line up for a few days, constantly provoking, but Sun Jiao just couldn't hold out, ignoring the fact that the soldiers outside the city had already greeted the eighteenth generation ancestor of his Sun family.
Seeing this scene, Young Master Zhuge sighed helplessly and said, "Didn't you say that Sun Jiao is a short-tempered guy?" How can such abuse be endured? Could it be that this guy is also thick-skinned? β
Xu Shu on the side heard this, pointed to the city, and said with a smile: "You are a low-level radical general, it's okay to deal with those rude martial artists who haven't read books, Sun Jiao was born in a wealthy family, he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, he rarely entered the army, and grew up in the army, your hand is too low-level in front of him!" β
When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Xu, didn't you just want to say that I was naΓ―ve after talking for a long time?" It's such a roundabout, not honest at all! β
When Xu Shu heard this, he smiled and didn't say anything more.
At this time, a horse galloped towards Lingling along the official road, judging from the cavalry dress, it should be the messenger of the Jingzhou army. The cavalry saw from afar that the handsome banner of Young Master Zhuge was outside Lingling City, so they galloped non-stop, approached, turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, took out the letter from his arms, and said loudly: "General Qiyu, Jiangxia victory, General Guan Ping, Liao Hua, General Zhou Cang, combined forces, broke the Wu army, beheaded eight hundred, captured two thousand, and seized countless heavy grain and grass, the main force of the Wu army has now retreated to the first line of Chaisang, General Guan Ping ordered his subordinates to ask for instructions, do you only need to pursue?" β
Young Master Zhuge took the battle report, opened it, nodded, and said: "You go back and tell General Guan Ping, don't chase after the poor, let him and Liao Hua and Zhou Cang withdraw the army into Jiangxia to hold on, this time the Wu army is defeated, Sun Quan must be unwilling, the Wu army's big report will come soon, Jiangxia is located in Jingxiang, and there is no room for loss!" Please General Guan Ping must be careful to ensure that Jiangxia is not lost! β
"No!" The messenger took the command and departed.
