Chapter 688: A Knife Shocks to Death

Wang Xu's speed of returning to the army was not fast, because he was already familiar with the road when he returned, and it was not as good as when he came, he was worried that the Jiaozhi army would set up an ambush on the road, so the speed of the march was greatly accelerated, and the most important thing was that the soldiers' fear of animals along the way was not so strict.

At least when you see a large animal like an elephant again, you won't be too frightened to move, and the various poisonous insects and beasts in the rainforest are not as strange as they were at the beginning.

Soon, the army arrived at the northern border of Jiaozhi County, Yongji Pass.

The name of this Yongji Pass is extremely funny, it has been renamed several times in history, it is called Friendship Pass in later generations, it is located in the border area of Huaxia and Yue, and belongs to the border area of Guangxi Province of Huaxia.

In fact, Jiaozhi County, including Jiuzhen County and Rinan County further south of Jiaozhi County, is most of the territory of the later Yue Kingdom, and the Jiaozhi County Mansion is more than 100 miles northeast of Hanoi, the capital of the later Yue Kingdom (not much introduced here, everyone has a concept, some names will be blocked, everyone understands Huaxia and Yueguo!). )。

Yongji Pass is a dangerous pass, but unfortunately it has not been garrisoned for a long time, and it has fallen into disrepair, forming a prosperous market, but the defense system is decaying.

It is now under the jurisdiction of Linchen County, Yulin County, and the Linchen County Government is located in the northeast of Yongji Pass, roughly separated by more than 200 miles.

During the march of the army, Wang Xu had already put away all the flags of the various departments, and the marching array was also slightly scattered, and the sergeants walking on the edge had to dress themselves up like defeated soldiers.

In this way, if you look at it from a distance, then it looks like a defeated army, and this move is of course to deceive the scouts who came over from Hepu. That's the only way. in order to make the other party not suspicious at all.

The plan was a success. When the army marched to the northeast of Yongji Pass for more than 100 miles, the scouts came to report that the northeast was full of smoke and dust, and thousands of soldiers were attacked.

Wang Xu immediately asked Yan Liang to lead the front troops and horses, all pretending to be defeated, and if he saw the face of the Jiaozhou army, he would immediately retreat!

Sure enough, more than 5,000 Jiaozhou troops came from Hepu County. Quickly killed, seeing that Yan Liang's front part ran when he saw someone, throwing away his armor, the wolf was unbearable, thinking that a big victory was coming, they all fought bravely, and rushed towards with crazy shouting and killing.

Yan Liang quickly fled to the Chinese army, and the Chinese army had already separated from each other, allowing it to pass through Guò, and also ran backwards with it.

The Jiaozhou Army saw this. is even more impatient, scrambling to rush over to make meritorious contributions!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

When the Jiaozhou army rushed across the avenue to kill. Thousands of sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the dense forests on both sides, and they fell in pieces in an instant without warning.

"Oops! Hit the trick! Rush forward, rush over and win! ”

The general with the troops was decisive, and immediately commanded the soldiers to advance, at this time it would definitely be too late to turn back, and even be counter-killed because he turned his back on the enemy, so going forward was the only way out.

He was already convinced that this was a defeated army, exhausted and sickly, and as long as he withstood this small plan in front of him, then he could naturally win a big victory.

Moreover, he also believed that the army of Shi Di and Shi Yi must be chasing from the south, and he was ordered to successfully intercept it, which was a great achievement, especially when he thought of the sense of accomplishment that he could get after capturing Wang Xu, who was the mighty world, he was even more excited and trembled.

It's a pity that he obviously thought wrong, and when he just broke out of the ambush circle, Wang Xu decisively ordered: "All the soldiers dismount, raise the flag, and follow me to fight back!" ”

"Kill!" Yan Liang roared loudly.

He just saw that the general was not very pleasing to the eye, and actually scolded him for being a coward, if it wasn't for the realization of the plan, he would have turned around and killed him a long time ago.

In an instant, the defeated army, which originally thought that the army was discouraged, demoralized, and weak, unexpectedly broke out with a high fighting spirit.

Because of the terrain, the cavalry couldn't rush up at all, and the horses could only jog and couldn't be used, so Wang Xu decisively let the guards dismount and fight back on foot.

Wang Xu and Yan Liang were originally in the last of the army, but at this time they became the front, all of them raised their internal breath, rushed to the Jiaozhou army, the fastest sergeant in the rear was far away from them, and there were dozens of meters away, when the two of them came into contact with the Jiaozhou army, Yan Liang held a big knife and jumped up, a horizontal slash, and actually split the three soldiers alive, and turned over in mid-air.

"Kill!"

Yan Liang's evil aura during the battle was extremely strong, and with his rough face, it made people fearful.

He and Wang Xu took the lead, and with strong force, they tore a gap in an instant.

When the soldiers in the rear saw that scene, their blood boiled, and they unnaturally accelerated their running speed again.

"Bang! Bang! ”

A violent impact sounded, and the soldiers in the front row came into contact with the Jiaozhou Army, and they were cut down in an instant!

That kind of strong combat power, which looks like some kind of disease spreading, exhausted, and morale is declining, as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they are all in high spirits.

The generals leading the Jiaozhou Army were instantly dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Is this a defeated army? This looks like an aphrodisiac, is it a defeated army? Sick yet? ”

Before he came back to his senses, in the dense forest on the left and right, four thousand soldiers rushed out in an instant, which were Yan Liang and Dian Wei's personal soldiers, ghost and god halberders and heavenly sword armorers!

As early as when Yan Liang saw the enemy army, they dismounted and laid an ambush, and the war horses were dispersed to the south, and the rear led by Zhuge Liang was responsible for collecting them from a few miles away.

At this moment, these ambushes are all rushing out on foot, but this will not reduce their combat power.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

The general of Jiaozhou finally understood at this moment that this was a trap, and it was a trap from the very beginning.

But a large number of foot soldiers were crowded together, and he couldn't run fast at all among the soldiers, and besides, in this terrain, if there were too many people, he could only jog and couldn't rush.

Yan Liang's eyes stared at him like a wolf, and he rushed over at lightning speed, and the soldiers dodged along the way.

The general was forced to retreat, plucked up his courage, and returned to fight.

"Kill!"

When he was approaching, Yan Liang shouted violently, which was breathtaking, and then jumped high, and the big knife was like a meteor outside the sky, and it slashed diagonally like a swift wind.

The general's eyes widened, and he raised his spear to resist, but he couldn't resist the tremendous force. The whole body flew out of the warhorse. Fall to a distance of three meters. Volleys of blood.

Yan Liang didn't even look at it: "Hmph! If you don't accumulate strength, you will block my heavy slash, the lord and Dian Wei can't do it, it's just you! ”

The surrounding Jiaozhou sergeants were taken by his might, and no one dared to step forward.

"Your general has been stabbed to death by this general, and you should not descend quickly, so as not to make a mistake!"

Yan Liang shouted violently, and he had already swung his knife again and rushed to kill.

In less than two quarters of an hour, several thousand people from Hepu were completely defeated. Several of the leading soldiers were killed after taking the lead, and the rest threw down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

This short battle did not stop Wang Xu's footsteps, and after quickly cleaning up the battlefield, he handed over the prisoners to Zhuge Liang's rear escort, and the rest of the people quickly marched east and rushed to Hepu County.

A few days later, the army arrived at the county capital of Hepu, and there were only more than 1,000 old and weak soldiers left in the city. The county man who stayed behind was a scribe and did not dare to resist. Open the door and surrender.

This Hepu County is connected to Jiaozhi in the southwest, Yulin in the northwest, and the vast sea in the south!

If you cross the strait in the south, it is Zhuyazhou, which is the Hainan Island of the later generations, Cangwu County in the northeast, and Nanhai County in the east!

Its area is relatively long and narrow, the east and west ends of the county are far apart, the distance between the north and south ends is short, the county seat is located in the west, close to Yulin County and Jiaozhi County, the name of the county is the same as the name of the county, called Hepu.

After Wang Xu occupied the county capital, it was equivalent to controlling the western part of Hepu County in his hands, and as for the eastern half, he was not interested in it for the time being, because it was close to the South China Sea and would interfere with the main battlefield.

After resting for a day, Wang Xu asked Zhuge Liang to lead the remaining guards to stay in Hepu, while he and Yan Liang and Dian Wei took the Heavenly Sword Armor and the Ghost Halberd to Cangwu County Mansion - Guangxin.

Guangxin, as the capital of Cangwu County, also left more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, which was also the last resistance force in the hinterland of Jiaozhou.

It was also this army that prevented Yang Huai, Liu Yun, He Yi and others from advancing westward from the South China Sea, indirectly causing them to lose more than 3,000 people.

If it is according to the plan in advance, then the main force there at this time should have been transferred out and restrained each other with Yang Huai and others in Yulin County.

This is a good opportunity to seize Guangxin at the lowest cost and quickly control Cangwu County.

As long as the four counties of Jiaozhou Yulin, Jiaozhi, Hepu and Cangwu are mastered, then Jiaozhou is really finished, only the easternmost Nanhai County remains, at that time Jiaozhou basically lost the rear support, regardless of whether the main battlefield is divided into winners and losers, but after all, it no longer has the power to counterattack, the only thing that needs to be careful is only Jiangdong, but in the future, the enemy needs in the main battlefield, and can only rely on Jiangdong's supply, and the situation will naturally become clear.

As for Jiuzhen County and Rinan County in the south of Jiaozhi County, Wang Xu doesn't want to care about it for the time being, the two counties have a small population, a small area, and extremely backward development, so they don't have much strength at all, and they can even say that they don't have any strength, and two or three thousand elites can go sideways over there, without scruples.

Besides, the east of these two counties is the vast sea, the north is Jiaozhi, and the west is still a wild land.

You only need to station a soldier and horse in Jiaozhi County, and no matter how you get it there, you can't turn the sky upside down.

The most important thing is that that it has now been completely cut off from the Shi family forces and Jiangdong, so naturally there is no need to care in a hurry, and it is not too late to wait for the stability to come down and slowly clean up.

In mid-March 205 AD, Wang Xu led the two generals Dian Wei and Yan Liang to lead the army to Guangxin, the capital of Cangwu County.

When he observed from afar that the army at the head of the city was in good shape and the crowds were surging, his face instantly turned pale.

"Failed? The Cangwu garrison failed to be transferred? He muttered to himself.

Yan Liang's exclamation came immediately. "Lord, look at the banner on the city tower!"

"Flag?" Wang Xu raised his head again, stared slightly, and also showed consternation: "The main flag of Jiangdong? How can it be the main flag of Koto? ”

"Could it be that there is a secret sergeant in Jiangdong?" Dian Wei said in surprise.

"Even if Jiangdong secretly transfers troops over, the main flag cannot be Jiangdong's, after all, this is the land of Jiaozhou, and the main flag of the city tower must be the banner of the Jiashi family." Yan Liang shook his head and said.

Wang Xu's face was cloudy, and he quickly sorted out the current situation in his mind, and then frowned: "Dian Wei, take dozens of brothers with me to the city to investigate the situation, Yan Liang gathered the army, was on strict alert, and was ready to fight at any time!" ”

"No!" (To be continued......)
