Chapter 354: Zhao Yun's counterattack
It's a pity that no matter how full the ideal is, it is just a balloon in front of reality, and it will burst when you poke it!
The fire that was burning more and more from the surroundings, and the reality that it had become a sea of fire in front of it, as well as the dense heavy crossbow arrows thrown from the surrounding hills, all told Gongsun Yue that he was in an ambush!
Li Jihu used those black and murderous crossbow arrows to poke Gongsun Yue's balloons into the skin, the reality is so skinny!
Only then did Gongsun Yue understand that the battle that took place in the rear camp just now must have been Li Jiehu ambushing Yan Gang, if Li Jiehu's troops had already organized this kind of heavy crossbow dragoon unique to Fengning County, then Yan Gang's black-lit blind charge was likely to fold his wings under this kind of heavy crossbow with huge lethality.
Then, it is to lead yourself into the set, Li Shehu's handwriting is really big! The whole camp was filled with forage for ignition, and the camp layout like a spider's web, which completely broke up Gongsun Yue's troops, and when the fire was burning from all sides, Gongsun Yue wanted to gather troops It was already a luxury.
The only thing to be thankful for is that because Gongsun Yue came all the way and set the fire first, the flame has gradually been extinguished in the passage behind him, that is to say, this passage is the only way to escape.
However, will Li Shehu let himself easily leave this path? As long as you can know the answer with your heels, as long as you arrange one or two thousand heavy crossbowmen at this exit, you will definitely be trapped in this fire, but even if you know this, Gongsun Yue must not rush from this only way of life, it is better than sitting and waiting to die!
Gongsun Yue looked at the soldiers around him, the familiar face, the firm expression, and the eyes that looked at death as if he were at home, Gongsun Yue suddenly had an urge to cry, he was incompetent! With these loyal men. Embarked on this dead end.
Looking at his face, which was bright and dark in the swaying firelight, Gongsun Yue said in a trembling voice: "Do you hate me? ”
"Die for the general, die without regrets1
"Haha, a general is incompetent and exhausts the whole army!! It's my grandson who is more incompetent, why should I let my loyal soldiers bear it! I hate it1
"General 1
"Rush! Following this path of life is also a dead end, and my grandson Yue can't take you to life. Then I will die with you1
"No1
The hundreds of soldiers around him agreed with a bang, and there was only an indomitable determination in their tones. But there was not a trace of timidity and hesitation.
The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, the rain of arrows fell, one by one the soldiers were shot over and fell off their horses, falling on this road of life and death, all the soldiers had only one idea, to protect their generals to rush out of this dead road, even if they were broken bones!
Li Shuhu, who was stationed on the top of the hill, clearly saw that the team was desperately attacking outward along the only way of life. There is also their own commander who is heavily protected, Li Shehu seems to think of something, the corners of his eyes gradually moisten, but his tightly pursed lips are silent, looking at these loyal and brave soldiers, protecting their generals with their own flesh and blood, at this time, Li Shuhu has no pity in his heart, only respect!
Rush out! Finally rushed out!
Gongsun Yue looked back at the sea of fire that had been left behind, and felt a burst of joy in his heart. But looking at the guards with less than ten people left around him, he just wanted to cry bitterly, and then this grievance and sadness turned into infinite hatred, looking at the black cavalry standing quietly about three hundred steps in front of him, Gongsun Yue just wanted to pounce and kill him.
"Kill 1 Gongsun Yue's voice is hoarse. The voice was almost inaudible, only the hissing of air in his mouth could be heard, and the hideous countenance. Eyes that almost dripped blood.
Slow 1 Li Jiehu said loudly, making Gongsun Yue, who was about to urge the horse, stunned.
"I didn't expect that it was General Gongsun who attacked my camp. Although General Gongsun is unkind, but I, Li Shuhu, can't be unjust, I didn't know just now, now that I'm facing it, General Gongsun, your fate has been saved. ”
Li Jiehu's eyes flashed with disdain, but unfortunately, the distance was too far for Gongsun Yue to see at all.
Li Jiehu led his troops to slowly approach forward, and it was not until the distance was very close that everyone could clearly see the expressions on their faces, and Li Jiehu stopped.
Looking at Gongsun Yue with a look of surprise, Li Shuhu felt very happy in his heart, just now this thing was still a tragic and heroic appearance of going to death, but now he is suffering from gains and losses for his own life, this kind of person, in fact, is not firm at all, those warriors who died for him are really in vain.
"Are you confused? In fact, it's very simple, before entering my camp, you were bandits, after you came out, you were an official soldier, you are Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Yue, hehe, I should thank you for this identity, our lord doesn't want to tear his face with your eldest brother, by the way, please bring a word back to your eldest brother, do your own thing peacefully, thinking too much may not be a good thing1
After Li Shuhu finished speaking, he glanced at Gongsun Yue with disdain, and then looked at the remaining warriors behind him with emotion, and couldn't help sighing.
"Let's go! signal, the whole army retreated1
Three rockets pierced the dark night sky and disappeared into the night with a sharp thud, and the tiger and leopard cavalry rumbled away, leaving only the faint sound of horses' hooves.
Gongsun Yue sat quietly on the horse, for a long time, like a deflated ball, the whole person was paralyzed, and said weakly: "Go back." ”
Not far from the battlefield, Li Shooting Hu joined Tai Shi Ci, and it was Tai Shi Ci's troops who actually ambushed Yan Gang.
"Ziyi, Yan Gang let it go?"
"Well, I don't dare not listen to Brother Li's orders."
"Hehe, it's not my order, it's the lord's order, the soldiers can be killed, but the lord must let them go."
Tai Shi Ci blinked his eyes and asked with some puzzlement, "Why is this?" ”
"Hehe, don't tear your face in the end, we don't have the ability to control the entire Liaodong and even Youzhou, and if we are the only one in Youzhou, then all the eyes of the aliens will be on us, which is not a good thing."
"I see, 1 Tai Shi Ci's face is respectful, his eldest brother is really powerful!
The news of Gongsun Yue's defeat was transmitted back to Gongsun Chan as soon as possible, and Gongsun Chan smashed all the things in the room and cut down two Xianbei beauties.
But that's not the only bad news. On the morning of the fourth day, the county seat of Pingguo in southern Liaoning was captured by bandits, the officials and troops were all wiped out, and more than 40,000 people were swept away, and the county seat of Pingguo was already an empty city.
No matter how stupid Gongsun Chan is, he understands that this must have been done by Fang Zhiwen.
That's right. The one who started was the Zhao Yun Army, and the Zhao Yun Army was composed of a total of 20,000 people from Zhao Yun and Tian Yu. With 20,000 people to capture Pingguo, and it was a surprise attack, this task is not difficult at all!
However, Zhao Yun still found some difficulties for himself, first of all, this attack was carried out by 10,000 troops trained in Taiping Dao as siege infantry, and secondly, his own troops only dispatched 10,000 people as the main attack force, and Tian Yu's troops were responsible for transporting the population to Lelang County in the follow-up. In the end, Zhao Yun's goal is to minimize casualties and accidental casualties, and it would be even more perfect if he could achieve zero casualties.
Zhao Yun set off on the night of the battle between Li Shehu and Gongsun Yue, from Beifeng to Pingguo is only more than 200 li less than 300 li, and Guan Hai, the general of Taiping Dao who came to participate in the training this time, is responsible for cleaning up the scout cavalry on the periphery, Zhao Yun led the troops to retreat, and in the middle is the infantry commanded by several Taiping Dao generals Pei Yuanshao, Liao Hua, Liu Pi and others.
Along the way, they camped during the day and moved at night, and the pace was relatively slow at first, and by the night of the next day. These soldiers of the Taiping Road actually walked more than 90 miles in one night, which is not a hurry, especially at night.
On the night of the third day, the troops reached a short distance outside the city of Pingguo, and after repairing and eating, the prelude to the attack was opened by cavalry and dragoons, first with the flying fire of the Turk. The defenders who woke up near the city gate were caught off guard, and then the dragoons were covered with a continuous stream of heavy crossbows, so that the defenders on this part of the city wall did not dare to raise their heads at all.
Then the infantry advanced under the protection of a rain of arrows. The three-zhang high city wall can be used as long as the ladder is used, and the infantry is led by the general. With sparse arrows and scattered stones, he successfully climbed to the top of the city, and before Zhao Yun's troops could reach the top of the city, the defenders of the city shouted and had already scattered and fled, which made Zhao Yun a little surprised.
Then the city gate was opened, Zhao Yun's cavalry rushed into the county, while shouting the slogan of 'death to the armed man', while quickly passing through the city, occupying important buildings such as the military camp of the government office, at this time there was no one in the palace for a long time, and there was no general command in the military camp.
The pursuing cavalry soon found that several city gates had been opened, and it was apparently that the generals and officials of the defending army of Pingguo had opened the city and fled, and these cavalry did not chase them, anyway, there were ambush troops outside.
When dawn, these masked thieves appeared in front of the eyes of the residents of Pingguo, and the number was as high as 20,000, fortunately, there was no stubborn resistance, otherwise the other party could slaughter the city, as for the officials and generals who fled, Zhao Yun only ordered all their belongings to be left behind, and then they were all driven away, of course, some clothes and food were still given.
Next, it is Fang Zhiwen's troops who are most familiar with robbing houses, but this time it is a little different, which house to search from, let them carry the things themselves, and then disturb for a day, Zhao Yun drove more than 40,000 residents on the road slowly, not worried about Gongsun Zhan's reaction at all, in fact, Wen County, which is closest to Pingguo, is also four hundred miles away, and when the defenders there arrived, Zhao Yun would have already gone home, not to mention, would those defenders dare to come?
Li Shothu wiped out Gongsun Yue and Yan Gang with his backhand, like a hard slap on the right side of Gongsun Zhan's face, and Zhao Yun shaved Ping Guo into white ground, like a hard slap on the left side of Gongsun Zhan's face! Vicious! It's ruthless!
Gongsun Chan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, this revenge can't be avenged! Fang Zhiwen, do you really think that I can't be bullied!! ~!
