Chapter 253: Blocking the Road
On the other side, Dongli Mountain came to Dongxing Pass with 15,000 soldiers. In this sniper battle, the Zidi army killed more than 7,000 enemies, and they did not suffer any damage.
Even the wounded were only a dozen or so lightly wounded, and they still accidentally did not think of the sharpness of the weapon, and when they cut off the enemy's weapon, they did not have time to dodge, and the fragments collapsed.
Such a record made the soldiers more confident, and their fighting spirit became more and more high.
In addition to all the subordinate troops who were evacuated here, the artillery and mortar bamboo mines brought with them were also moved to Dongxing Guanzhong.
Soon, under Han Chen's dispatch, Dongxingguan was beaten into a strong fortress. Artillery and mortar bamboo mines were deployed on both sides.
Jiang Chao ordered Dongli Mountain, Nan Mingfeng and Beiqiong Fang to lead 5,000 soldiers each to hide in the mountains and forests on both sides of Dongxing Pass.
Almost half of the artillery and bamboo mines were also transported. There is not much need to put all the forces in the eastern type of pass.
Their three groups of reserves are needed from time to time. After all, now they are facing not only the more than 100,000 Khitan troops, but also the more than 100,000 people of the Great Zhao army.
There are also more than 100,000 people of Zheng Shimin who followed the Khitan army. With 20,000 men, it is really difficult to fight against such a large number of troops.
Even if it is artillery and bamboo thunder, Jiang Chao can only be used sparingly. After all, although there are a lot of shells and bamboo mines brought this time, they can't withstand too much consumption.
Of course, Jiang Chao's biggest enemy is the Khitan army, and his purpose is also the Khitan army.
As long as the Khitan army is eliminated, or driven away, he can return to the army. The damage inflicted by the Khitan army on Da Zhao was too deep.
The three of them were ordered to leave, but their faces were full of worry. With Jiang Chao's 5,000 subordinate army, how can they defend the Dongxing Pass?!
Not to mention, Jiang Chao's subordinate army also lost more than 500 people in the battle with the Khitan army.
Although the battle line was brilliant and there were 8,000 enemies killed, Jiang Chao was still very dissatisfied with the fact that his own casualties had reached one-tenth of them.
But the combat power of the Khitan army is indeed extraordinary, if it weren't for the fact that the weapons were inferior to the Zidi army, the casualties of the Zidi army might be more.
Now if you want to defeat the Khitan army, you can only use strategy. Otherwise, even if Jiang Chao was able to destroy the Khitan army, I am afraid that all the children of the army might have to stay here.
Since he took everyone out, he did his best to get everyone to go back with him. Because, in the backing village, there are still their relatives waiting for them.
When Donglishan and the others went to the mountains and forests on both sides of Dongxingguan to ambush them, Jiang Chao ushered in the first batch of enemies.
This group of enemies was the army of the four continents led by Liang Zhizhou, and they looked at the army on the city wall in amazement, their eyes full of disbelief.
Liang Zhizhou glanced at the other three Zhizhou beside him, he pointed to the battle flag of the disciple army on the city wall and said, "Three colleagues, you can see the battle flag of the disciple army on the city wall!" ”
When the three Zhizhou heard this, they all looked at Liang Zhizhou in surprise, and everyone didn't know what Liang Zhizhou was knowingly asking there. What is it if it's not the battle flag of the Disciples' Army?!
"Liang Zhizhou, what do you mean by this, it's not the battle flag of the Disciple Army, what kind of ......" Huang Zhizhou said coldly.
I felt a little unhappy in my heart, I couldn't get used to this guy, and of course the tone of my voice was not good. If it weren't for the emperor's order, he wouldn't want to take care of this thing.
"It seems that this official is not mistaken, but why is it the battle flag of the children's army, doesn't it mean that it is the vanguard army of the Khitan army that occupies the Dongxing Pass! Led by Xiao Ce, a famous general of the Khitan army. But why is it now occupied by the children's army! ”
Liang Zhizhou's voice was full of disbelief.
They chased all the way, but did not see any trace of the Zidi army, originally, they thought that the Zidi army might have attacked the city in front of the Dongxing Pass.
They thought it would be better to go to the front of the East Type Pass and see if there was a chance to make a sneak attack.
But who would have thought that when I arrived not far in front of the Dongxing Pass, I didn't see the siege battle. I only saw the battle flag of the children's army on the head of the Dongxing Guancheng.
Of course, there are indeed traces of a great battle in front of the East Type Pass. There is even a residual smell of blood. The soil in front of the pass seems to have been dug up.
But did this battle end too quickly?! Is Xiao Ce, the Khitan general in the Dongxing Pass, so vulnerable!
He remembered that Xiao Ce Lianke was almost invincible. Why haven't you even held a level now, is this possible!
As Liang Zhizhou asked, the other three Zhizhou also reacted, and their eyes were full of astonishment.
Yes, they chased all the way, and the difference between them and the army was only ten miles. The difference in time will not exceed an hour.
But what the hell is going on!? How did everything change!?
How would they have known that Jiang Chao had already solved the battle at Dongxing Pass, and even buried the corpses of the enemy in front of the pass.
Even the previous guard, General Hu, let Jiang Chao be arrested and beheaded. And after they came over from the east of the mountain, they arranged for them to go to ambush on both sides.
By the time they arrived, everything they needed to prepare would have been ready.
"What now?! Is it tackling? Or withdraw the troops......" Huang Zhizhou looked at Liang Zhizhou and said.
He really didn't want to fight this battle, even if he couldn't help Jiang Chao, but they would withdraw their troops and not hold back.
The other two Zhizhou also looked at Dye Zhizhou with anticipation, they also wanted to withdraw their troops, and the three of them really had no intention of fighting.
It's just that Liang Zhizhou snorted coldly and said, "Withdraw the troops!?" No...... Why do we want to withdraw our troops, don't forget, there are still hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops on the other side of the pass, even if Jiang Chao captures the Dongxing Pass! Can he deal with those hundreds of thousands of disciples! It's ridiculous...... Haha......"
With a sneer, Liang Zhizhou hurriedly ordered his sergeants to set up camp in front of Dongxing Pass. Here they are to hold the way of Jiang Chao's retreat.
The Dongxing Pass is broken, and Jiang Chao will have no way to escape. In the end, he either died at his hands or at the hands of the Khitan army.
After encamping, the Great Zhao army began to dig trenches and various fortifications there. There are a lot of traps set up.
It's completely a picture of wanting to block the children's army in the East Type Pass.
When the generals on the city wall saw this, their eyes were full of anger. Several times some generals asked for battle, wanting to go down to teach those big Zhao troops some lessons.
But Jiang Chao watched Liang Zhizhou playfully as they were building fortifications there, without the slightest intention of stopping them.
At this time, he looked at Yue Pengju, who was subdued on the city wall, and saw that the other party's eyes were complicated, and his eyes were full of anger. Jiang Chao's eyes showed a strange look.
He looked at Yue Pengju and said, "General Yue, what do you think of their approach of cutting off our back road!" ”
