Chapter Eighty-Eight: Rescuing Wei Yan
It had been a morning since the siege of Wei Yan's camp, and Zhou Yu still hadn't made much progress.
Zhou Yu, who was not happy, had to order the army to rest temporarily and continue the attack in the afternoon.
At this time, the southern gate of Echeng opened, and Kou Feng took more than 100 soldiers out of the city gate and rushed in the direction of Wei Yan's walled city.
Ling Tongyi saw that this product actually dared to bring such a few people to the rescue, he was happy at that time, and he did not hesitate, and directly commanded the army to start surrounding Kou Feng.
As a result, before Ling Tong's army could approach Kou Feng, Kou Feng instantly commanded the team to turn around and fled back to the city in a puff of smoke.
Ling Tong was stunned, but when the attacking Ling Tong sergeant saw that the opponent had run away, he was polite, so hurry up and chase it.
As a result, before he could catch up with two steps, he encountered a series of blows from bed crossbows and bows and arrows on the city wall of Echeng, and more than 30 people were killed and injured at once.
If it weren't for Ling Tong's quick order, the loss would have been even greater!
Ling Tong was angry, and he scolded in the direction of the city gate at that time. But alas, Kou Feng couldn't hear it.
After scolding, Ling Tong calmed down and began to analyze Kou Feng's intentions.
Rescue?!
This is unlikely, just so a few people, who are you going out to save?!
But if it wasn't a rescue, then what was the purpose, could it be that it was to lure his soldiers close to the city walls, and then kill and wound them with bed crossbows and bows and arrows!?
This. Isn't it too lacking?!
Ling Tong couldn't figure it out, but he knew that his military task was to prevent the defenders of Echeng from going out of the city to rescue the camp, so for the time being, he didn't care about the other party's purpose, as long as he came out, he would lead his troops to stop it.
In the afternoon, when the Jiangdong army began to besiege Wei Yan's camp again, Kou Feng really rushed out from the south gate of Echeng again, and this time, Kou Feng brought about 200 people.
Ling Tong still wondered, this product brought a little more people this time, could it be that the first time it was returned, it was because he felt that there were fewer people with it?!
But that's it. In the face of your own 5,000 people, what difference does it make if you take 100 or 200 people out of the city?!
Ling Tong still calmly commanded the soldiers to intercept, this time Kou Feng fought a little with the Jiangdong army, but he only took a look, and began to command the soldiers to retreat in less than a stick of incense.
Ling Tongjun still subconsciously chased after him. This time it's a good battle, it's very close, as long as you chase it closely, the arrows on your castle tower can't even be shot with your own family.
Ling Tong thought about it very well, but Ling Tong really didn't expect that the bed crossbow and arrows upstairs directly crossed Ling Tong's front army and shot Ling Tong's rear army.
And Ling Tong's front army was also unlucky, as soon as an arrow was shot on the city tower, Kou Feng immediately led the soldiers to reflexively kill, and at the same time, the south gate of Echeng opened again, and four or five hundred soldiers defending the city rushed out.
Ling Tongyi looked at this situation and immediately knew that he had been tricked.
I had the heart to come to the rescue, but I was blocked by the bed crossbow and bow and arrow, and I couldn't rush over for a while, and the land combat level of the Jiangdong Navy also made Ling Tong feel ashamed at this moment. The four or five hundred people of the front army were killed and dispersed before they could hold out until the time of a stick of incense.
What's worse is that Kou Feng didn't pursue at all, and as long as the Jiangdong Army scattered and fled, he didn't care, but turned around with peace of mind and retreated into the city.
This time Kou Feng attacked, which made Ling Tong lose face, and at the same time, he gradually lost his calm.
Now Ling Tong is only in his early twenties, it is the time when the young general is proud, some time ago, the army went smoothly, he killed Zhang Shuo, and led the elite soldiers to break the enemy, which made Ling Tong feel that he was more or less a character.
As a result, today under the south gate of Echeng, he was played twice in a row by an unknown general.
The casualties were not too large, and the casualties of a hundred or so people were not a big deal for a general commanding 5,000 people.
But twice in a row, he was lured to the city gate, and was shot by crossbow arrows, and his own soldiers were easily killed by the other party. This made Ling Tong feel a sense of humiliation that he was being played with.
Therefore, when Kou Feng led more than 500 people to fight for the third time, Ling Tong directly ordered the soldiers to retreat.
First lead this cargo out, and lead it away from the city gate, so that even if this cargo wants to escape, it will not be able to run into the range of crossbow arrows for a while.
As long as this goods come out, then the rest of the matter will be up to him.
And Kou Feng did not disappoint Ling Tong, leading a team of five hundred people, gradually moving away from the city wall, and killing in the direction of Wei Yan's camp.
Ling counted the distance and found that Kou Feng was already very far away from the city gate, so without saying a word, he commanded his soldiers to attack and prepare to besiege Kou Feng.
But just when Ling Tong had just finished giving the order and the soldiers had just started to act, Kou Feng's main attack direction suddenly changed, and he was killing in the direction of Ling Tong's general flag.
Ling Tong was slightly stunned at that time, but then he was also in ecstasy.
He is not a fool, and he is still very protective of his Chinese army.
And Kou Feng is like this, which is equivalent to throwing himself into the net.
As long as Ling Tong's Chinese army withstood Kou Feng's onslaught, and the front army only needed two wings to outflank, it could easily surround Kou Feng's five hundred people.
Ling Tong felt that Kou Feng was killing himself, because Ling Tong's Chinese army was the elite of a hundred battles left to him by his father Ling Cao, and they were all very famous in Jiangdong.
In Ling Tong's opinion, these elites of his own can beat the Jingzhou army on the water, and of course there is no problem at all on land.
But Ling Tong miscalculated and was dumbfounded.
The elite of a hundred battles left to him by his father was actually killed by a group of soldiers with strange weapons in the Jingzhou Army, and this opening was directed at himself.
When Ling Tong saw these soldiers, he immediately thought of the group of strange soldiers who had rushed up to Chen on the ground. But at that time, Ling Tong clearly remembered that his own elite soldiers were five or five with the other party.
Why is it so tough now, and it comes in directly?!
Ling Tong was a little stunned, but the pro-soldiers and guards around Ling Tong didn't dare to be stunned at all, but desperately moved closer to Ling Tong, seeing that Kou Feng's soldiers were only less than fifty or sixty steps away from Ling Tong, the pro-soldiers couldn't help it, and directly dragged Ling Tong back, asking him to leave this dangerous place first.
Ling Tong didn't want to leave, he knew that if his generals retreated, these soldiers under his command would think that something had happened to the main generals and they would become flustered.
But Ling Tong couldn't hold on at all.
On the one hand, the guards dragged him, and he couldn't resist alone.
On the other hand, after such a little hesitation, the enemy army had already killed him thirty paces away.
This distance is basically equivalent to face to face, as long as the other party shoots a round of bows and arrows, even if there is personal protection, Ling Tong doesn't want to retreat.
Ling Tong had no choice but to retreat while directing his soldiers to move closer to him. Even if he retreats, don't think about or go back to this group of Jingzhou troops who broke in.
But Ling Tong was young after all, and he lacked experience in leading troops, so he didn't expect the chain reaction caused by his retreat, let alone that Kou Feng's purpose was not to fight with him at all.
As soon as he saw Ling Tong retreating, Kou Feng immediately shouted "The enemy general is dead", and then asked the soldiers to shout this words, and after causing a riot in Ling Tong's army, he turned around and killed in the direction of Wei Yan's camp.
As soon as Ling Tongjun heard the news of the death of his main general, they were also extremely surprised, and then looked at the battlefield Although Ling Tong's general flag was still there, it was retreating one after another, and suddenly fell into a panic.
The soldiers of this age, don't expect them to be too well organized and disciplined, once the main general is killed, there are many cases of soldiers fleeing.
Now that Ling Tong has withdrawn his flag and his life and death are unknown, it is simply unrealistic to let Ling Tong's army spontaneously organize and block the siege and kill Kou Feng.
Kou Feng also took advantage of this opportunity to kill through the encirclement of Ling Tong's army, and killed Wei Yan's camp, which was also the direction of Zhou Yu's rear army.
Zhou Yu naturally also noticed Kou Feng's small army, but Zhou Yu really didn't expect that this army would be able to break through Ling Tong's interception and really kill him.
The purpose, needless to say, must be to pick up the friendly troops in the camp.
Zhou Yu was surprised by Kou Feng's performance, and once again sighed that Jingzhou was not without talents, but that Liu Jingsheng would not use talents.
But on the other hand, Zhou Yu didn't plan to let Kou Feng kill him directly.
Being able to kill Ling Tongjun has already surprised Zhou Yu, but just such a few people want to save people under the command of Zhou Yu. It's so whimsical.
Zhou Yu also did not move the front army that was besieging the camp, and directly ordered Gan Ning, who was defending in the rear army, to send troops to intercept the team of several hundred people.
Gan Ning's ability, Zhou Yu is quite trusted, this is a fierce general who is both good on land and water, and the Jinfan Army under his command is also an outlaw, and this kind of thing is difficult for Gan Ning.
After Gan Ning received the order, he immediately began to retract the formation, and took back all the soldiers who had been scattered to be on guard, preparing to let Kou Feng break the bloodstream.
But what Gan Ning didn't expect was that when Kou Feng was almost a stone's throw away from him, he suddenly turned around and ran in the direction of the Exian city wall.
And Gan Ning was confused for a while, but he was afraid that Kou Feng was playing with a horse gun like repelling Ling Tong, so he didn't dare to pursue and continued to maintain a closed defensive formation.
And at this time, the east gate of Echeng opened.
Zhang Xi personally led 300 people and quietly set off along the tidal flats along the river outside Exian County, and rushed in the direction of Weiyan Yingzhai.
At the same time, on the tower in the southeast corner of Echeng, billowing wolf smoke burned.
