Chapter 209: Sweeping the Southern Front (5)

Fang County is located in the east bank of the mouth of the Liao River, located in the alluvial plain, the terrain is flat, but there are many rivers and forests, although most of the rivers are set up with temporary bridges, for the opening of the army, it is not an easy task, even if Gao Cheng rushed all the way, when the sun was sinking in the west, he still could not reach Pingguo City, seeing that his soldiers were exhausted, Gao Cheng had no choice but to order the whole army to stop on the east bank of the Taiping River, planning to rest for one night, and then rush to Pingguo City and Qi Ming early tomorrow morning.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

Just when Gao Cheng's headquarters had just collapsed, a terrible horn suddenly sounded in the forest not far away, and then Zhang He led two thousand cavalry troops to rush out of the forest like a whirlwind, and killed the soldiers of the Liaodong Army who were in a mess like a rainbow.

"Steady, don't mess up, array, array!"

Seeing Zhang He's department suddenly killed, Gao Cheng's pupils couldn't help shrinking, although his heart was panicked, he didn't mess up, and he shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the hearts of his soldiers.

In all fairness, Gao Cheng's soldiers are actually well trained, which can be seen from the fact that it only took five hours to march nearly seventy miles, but no matter how elite the troops once relaxed, it is rare to be nervous, not to mention that at this time the people and horses have reached the end of the crossbow, it is difficult to have much fighting spirit at all, even if Gao Cheng has always won the hearts of the military, at this moment, the soldiers who are willing to follow his orders are only a very small part, most of the soldiers are all panicked and turned around and rushed to the bridge, trying to escape the river quickly, the problem is that the bridge is just a bridge after all, it is so wide, how can it accommodate so many people to rush to cross, the resultNaturally, there will be no surprise, a large number of soldiers are crowded together, and no one can board the bridge, and the whole team is completely chaotic.

"Break in, those who don't surrender will be killed!"

The grove ambushed by Zhang He's department is not too close to the river, two and a half miles away, if the Liaodong army can arrange the defensive formation in time, it can still compete with the Youzhou iron cavalry for a while, even if the final defeat is inevitable, but it is enough to cause a lot of damage to the Youzhou army, but at the moment, although the Liaodong army is a lot of troops, but they are just some lambs to be slaughtered, in this regard, Zhang He will not have much compassion, and the troops will crash into the chaos like a tide, and it is unceremoniously a bloody killing.

"Dog thief, the old man fought with you!"

Seeing that the elite he had painstakingly trained was slaughtered by the Youzhou Iron Cavalry and turned into corpses all over the ground, Gao Cheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed forward regardless of the ground, which was going to play with Zhang He.

"Look for death!"

Playing with life requires capital, obviously, Gao Cheng's courage is enough, but the capital is insufficient, although he took the lead in attacking a shot, but he was not seen by Zhang He at all, only to listen to Zhang He's roar, his arms only shook, and he had already fired Gao Cheng's gun, and then took advantage of a counterattack, he had already picked Gao Cheng's lower abdomen, just such a shot, and Gao Cheng had been picked off the horse.

"Ah......h

The lower abdomen was broken, and the intestines were broken into several pieces, and the severe pain was inevitable, but this kind of injury was not enough to die immediately, poor Gao Cheng rolled all over the ground in pain, and the miserable howl was so terrible that it was deafening and painful.

"Poof!"

Gao Cheng's pain did not last long, as a fast horse killed the Youzhou cavalry with a knife, the terrible howl of the people also stopped abruptly, and with his death, the remnants of the Liaodong Army, which had little fighting spirit at all, soon all knelt on the ground and honestly became a prisoner of the Youzhou Army......

"Woo, woo, woo......"

On the third day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Jian'an, noon is approaching, the blue sky is cloudless, it is the hottest time of the day, although it is wartime, but under the scorching sun, the rotating sentries at the head of the Liao team city can not help but be a little listless, but when the smoke and dust roll in the southeast direction, the sentry posts on duty are all immediately alert, and soon, the horn of urgency has sounded wildly.

"What's going on, huh?"

Liaoqi County as a satellite city of Xiangping City, although the city is not big, but there are a lot of soldiers, of course, the focus of defense is to fall in the west, In the north two directions, not only that, the main general of the city, Song Du, has also been eating and living in the gate tower of the west city, and he couldn't help but hear the horn of the south city and the sky shook endlessly, Song Du couldn't hold his head, and led the guards along the city wall to the south of the city, as soon as he arrived at the south city, he saw that the defenders at the head of the city were all in a panicked state, Song couldn't help but be angry, and he scolded him angrily.

"General Yu, look, it's the thief army who is coming from the south!"

Song Du is brutal, killing people at every turn, there is no one in the army who is not afraid of him, this time Song Du's face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and the sentries at the head of the city are all frightened to the point that their faces are as white as paper, but the military marquis on duty is still a little bold, and then he reported from the side.

"What?"

Don't look at Song Du's brutality, but his own courage is actually not much, at least not as big as he thinks, no, as soon as he heard that the Youzhou army was killing from the south, Song Du's face immediately turned from black to white, and his eyes were about to fall out of his sockets, and after being stunned for a moment, he panicked and jumped to the city saucer, and when he looked out, his already white face suddenly became a little whiter, and he was so frightened that he forgot to quickly transfer troops to Nancheng, so he looked at Zhang He's department who came from nowhere.

"The whole army stops and lines up on the spot!"

When he came out of the Xiangping camp, Zhang He's troops had a total of 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry, but after connecting the three cities on the southern front, his soldiers and horses had expanded to 20,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, more than doubled, and this was the result of leaving part of the troops to guard the three cities.

"Quick, pass on the general's order, immediately transfer 3,000 infantry to Nancheng, go, go!"

It wasn't until the Youzhou army had begun to battle under the city that Song Dufang woke up from his stunned state, and in a panic, he couldn't help but roar wildly, and a herald who followed him quickly obeyed the promise.

"Come on, pick all the gifts to the city, so that the thieves in the city can take a look. ”

Song Du is obviously overly nervous, there is no other way, although Zhang He's troops and horses are numerous, but more than half of them are newly attached soldiers, the combat effectiveness is really worrying, and the siege equipment is not complete, it is impossible to attack in a hurry, the reason why he ordered the formation in front of the city is just to deter the defenders in the city......
