Chapter 126: Angry Zhang Ju

"Kill ......"

Suddenly, nearly a thousand Zhao State light horsemen, riding horses to rush towards the Jin cavalry several times their own, rushing to the front is Zhang Liang, he is quite powerful with a spear, and picked two or three Jin cavalry in a row.

But Momotake, who gave the order to attack, did not attack, and when he saw that all his men were rushing towards the enemy, he turned his horse and ran in the opposite direction.

The cavalry of the Jin army on the left and right sides surrounded the main force of the enemy, and only more than a dozen soldiers went to intercept Taowu, who fled on horseback.

Taowu's marksmanship is exquisite, how can more than a dozen soldiers be able to block it, and in just a few rounds, he broke out of the encirclement.

Taowu, who ran to the intersection, looked back at Zhang Liang, who was surrounded by the enemy group, and said indifferently: "Brother Zhang Liang, I'm sorry, he will definitely avenge you one day." ā€

After saying that, he rode his horse along the path.

Zhang Liang, who was fighting in the battle, looked back and didn't see Taowu, he was quite surprised, and when he looked into the distance, he happened to catch a glimpse of Taowu who had already fought out of the encirclement, and immediately understood that this feeling of being deceived was extremely painful.

"Momotake, you're so despicable." Zhang Liang cursed in his heart.

At this time, the light cavalry of Zhao State was even more exhausted, and was surrounded by the cavalry of the Jin army several times his own, and it was in vain to resist hard, and he died on the spot one after another.

Zhang Liang's subordinates around him became fewer and fewer, and gradually there were only more than ten horsemen left, and everyone was injured, at this time, they were already turtles in the urn, and they were completely doing a futile battle of trapped beasts.

"Zhang Liang, surrender!" Hua An stretched out his long knife and pointed at Zhang Liang.

When Zhang Liang heard this, he was shocked, there were actually people in the Jin army who recognized him, he looked up at Hua'an, and suddenly felt familiar.

"Big brother, your eyesight is so good, it's really the Zhang Liang I saw in Yecheng Sihailou." Thunderstorm slung the spear over his shoulder and said with a smile.

After being reminded by the thunderstorm, Zhang Liang immediately remembered it, he glared at Hua An, and said angrily: "It turned out to be you, hum!" ā€

"Defeated, surrender!" Thunderstorm shouted loudly.

"Don't think about it." Zhang Liang shouted loudly and ordered: "Soldiers, kill me." ā€

More than a dozen wounded soldiers, gritting their teeth, killed Hua'an and the others in front of them.

Hua An picked up the big knife and swept it, and suddenly three enemy soldiers were cut under the horse, and then another person was cut down, and the rest of the soldiers were also cut under the horse by Lei Storm and Zhao Wu.

At this time, Zhang Liang had already become the commander of the light pole, alone in the face of the thousands of Jin troops, and there were only two ways in front of him, either to die in battle or to surrender.

For bloody warriors, they are not afraid of dying in battle, but Zhang Liang is unwilling, Taowu's deception makes him very angry, and he wants to take revenge on Taowu who deceived him.

"If you die like this, wouldn't it be cheaper for Momotake." Zhang Liang thought secretly in his heart, looked at Hua'an, and said, "Do you dare to go it alone?" If you win, I surrender. ā€

"If I lose, I'll let you go." Hua An smiled indifferently.

"It's a deal." After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he raised his gun and stabbed at Hua'an.

Hua An didn't dare to slack off, swung his knife to block, and then pulled back the big knife and struck Zhang Liang's head hard.

Zhang Liang held the gun with both hands and tried his best to block Hua'an's fatal blow, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, rolling in five years, he understood that he was not Hua'an's opponent, so he simply rolled over and rolled off the horse, and the spear in his hand was still to the side.

Hua Anzhong was slightly surprised, although Zhang Liang in front of him was not as good as his martial arts, he would not roll off the horse with one blow, could it be that he was too tired and his body was not supported.

Hua An was puzzled, waved a knife on Zhang Liang's neck, and said coldly: "You can admit defeat." ā€

"If you are willing to gamble and lose, surrender is." Zhang Liang lay on the ground, his tone quite hard.

As the son of Zhang Ju, the general of Zhao State, it is naturally impossible for him to surrender to Jin State willingly, but at this time, it is important to save his life, so he can't take care of so much.

"Capture an enemy general." Seeing Zhang Liang open his mouth to admit defeat, Tie Niu roared loudly.

Suddenly, all the soldiers of the Jin army were boiling, and they followed one by one, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic.

In this battle, in addition to the enemy general Taowu escaping and Zhang Liang being captured alive, the remaining nearly 2,000 Zhao light cavalry were all annihilated, and the price paid by the Jin army was much smaller, with less than 500 casualties.

The captured Zhang Liang was escorted back to Yinling City and handed over to the Yinling garrison, while Hua'an and the main cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army who came to reinforce entered the city in triumph.

With 3,000 cavalry stationed in Yinling City, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city suddenly rose a lot, and most of the people who were preparing to flee with their families put down their luggage, after all, this is their hometown where they have lived for a long time, and no one wants to leave their hometown unless they have to.

The shops along the street began to open, and the whole street became orderly, as if nothing had happened here.

Hua An exchanged a few words with the cavalry army master, and learned that Han Qian was not worried about himself, so he sent them to reinforcements that day, but there were some small accidents on the way, and they all arrived at this time.

But fortunately, it came at the right time, and he actually annihilated the two thousand elite of the enemy army in one go, which made everyone feel very lucky.

The people of Yinling City slaughtered pigs and sheep, comforted the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty who bravely broke the enemy, and the army and the people were united as relatives.

Hua'an naturally celebrated the victory with the soldiers and civilians of Yinling City, but at the same time, Hua'an also clearly realized that the enemy commander would not give up, and the loss of 2,000 elites would definitely prompt the enemy's main force to come to retaliate.

To this end, Hua An ordered his soldiers to divide into several groups and take turns to go to the direction of Dangtu to investigate the enemy's situation, and together with the Yinling garrison, urge the soldiers and civilians defending the city to repair the city walls.

Hua'an also made prudent arrangements for the enemy spies that might exist in the city, and many people spontaneously organized security patrols to closely monitor the entire city, so that the spies could not do anything.

#######

When Tu Cheng, the main general of the Zhao army, Tao Leopard, was resting in the tent of the Chinese army, and suddenly a rapid neighing sound of horses came from outside the tent.

Immediately afterwards, a young general covered in blood stepped in, and Peach Leopard raised his eyes and saw that his heart was shocked, and the young general in front of him was none other than his son Taowu.

"Why is it like this, Zhang Liang?" Peach Leopard stood up and asked eagerly.

Taowu knelt down, bowed his head and hugged his fists and said: "The child is incompetent, he was ambushed by the main force of the Jin army under Yinling City, and the two thousand soldiers escaped with the child alone, and even Zhang Liang suffered an accident. ā€

After speaking, he clenched his head into a fist and put on a very unwilling posture.

"What, the main force of the Jin army has arrived in Yinling, and Han Qian's march is actually so fast." Peach Leopard was shocked when he heard this, and turned around and asked, "How is the enemy's strength and combat strength?" ā€

Tao Wu naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, and added: "The strength of five thousand troops is all elite cavalry, and the combat power is equivalent to that of our cavalry." ā€

"It turned out to be cavalry, no wonder they arrived at the Yin Tomb so quickly." Peach Leopard nodded, and then asked, "How about the enemy's losses?" ā€

"Our army fought to the death, and the enemy's losses were close to 2,000." Momotake's face was ruthless.

"Oh." Hearing this, Peach Leopard stroked his beard and thought about it.

The loss of 2,000 light cavalry was not a big loss for him, but it greatly affected the sharpness of the whole army, and once the sharpness was lost, the offensive edge of the army would be frustrated.

It's like a sword, if the tip of the sword is paused, the power of assassinating the enemy will be drastically reduced.

When the army was first dispatched, it broke several cities of the enemy army in one day, which can be described as being vigorous, and now under the city of Yinling, the first confrontation with Han Qian's army ended in a crushing defeat, which can be said to have been discharged, if you can't defeat the enemy army, the morale of the army will soon be affected.

A trace of killing intent flashed in Peach Leopard's eyes, and he had already made up his mind that he must set foot in Yinling City and annihilate the advancing Jin cavalry.

At this time, when Tu Cheng had hoarded 10,000 deniers of military rations, enough for 60,000 troops to consume for half a month, and the follow-up grain and grass were still being transported in a steady stream, the time was obviously ripe for sending troops.

In order to concentrate the main force to annihilate the enemy, Taobao boldly decided to transfer the 10,000 horses of the Zhang Ju army besieging Shouchun back to Dangtu, and the order was delivered to the Zhang Ju camp yesterday.

At this time, Zhang Ju's army should already be on the way, and it won't be long before the 10,000 army under Zhang Ju's command can converge with his 40,000 main force, and Taobao's heart is suddenly full of ambition.

There is only one thing that makes Tao Leopard feel quite guilty, Zhang Ju personally handed over his son to his command to listen to the tune, but at this time he died in the city of Yinling, he didn't know how to explain to Zhang Ju.

There was a tremor sound of the army entering the camp outside the tent, and Peach Leopard understood that Zhang Ju had led the army to arrive, so he hurriedly dragged Peach Leopard to get up and greet him.

Zhang Ju dismounted and galloped to the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw that the main general Taobao personally greeted him, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward, hugged his fists and said: "The general is in a hurry to recruit the last general, but he wants to attack Yinling." ā€

Zhang Ju also had an analysis of the situation of the enemy and us, and he also felt that he should attack Liyang all the way from Yinling and Dongcheng.

Peach Leopard nodded curtly, kicked behind Tao Wu's knee, and said angrily: "Shaft, don't kneel down yet." ā€

Taowu's knees ached, so he naturally knelt in front of Zhang Ju with a plop.

Zhang Ju was shocked, looked down and saw that Taowu's body was covered with blood, and suddenly an ominous premonition came to his heart.

"General, why is that?" Zhang Ju looked at the peach leopard with apprehension in his heart.

Peach Leopard sighed, told the ins and outs of the matter, briefly told Zhang Ju, and repeatedly apologized and comforted.

Tao Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, blamed himself again and again, but pushed his hatred to the Jin army even more.

As soon as he returned to the camp, he was hit by this thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Zhang Ju was a little in a trance, but many years of riding a horse career have trained a strong will.

He settled down, picked up Taowu, hugged his fists sideways, and said: "Soldiers, it is my duty to die on the battlefield, and the last general begs to send troops to attack Yinling." ā€

Seeing that Zhang Ju completely counted the hatred of his son's death on the Jin army, Tao Leopard breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Tomorrow morning, the general can be the forward." ā€

"When Tu and Yinling are nearly 100 miles apart, if you start fighting tomorrow, you can attack the city the day after tomorrow, and the last general's department can raise troops tonight." Zhang Ju is bent on avenging his son, so naturally he can't wait for tomorrow.

"The army has just entered the camp, and the soldiers are already tired, so it is safer to wait for tomorrow to send troops." Taowu Jian yƬ road.

Zhang Ju was furious when he heard this, glared at Tao Wu, and reprimanded loudly: "Soldiers are not afraid of death, are they still afraid of exhaustion, the so-called soldiers are fast, and they can only defeat the enemy by surprise." ā€

Seeing Zhang's report of hatred, he had already lost his mind, and Tao Leopard couldn't refute it in person, after all, Zhang Ju had just lost his son, and he had more or less his own responsibilities in this.
