Chapter 197: Zhu Jun takes command again

Zhang Jaw ran away, but Xiahou Dun didn't chase him, he just led his subordinates to continue to expand the results of the battle to encircle and suppress the Yuzhou army in Puji Town, as if Zhang Jaw was an outsider. At this point, the existence of Zhang Jaw is already dispensable, for a defeated general, he will never be able to return to the center of power in Yuzhou again, and Yuzhou will not be able to threaten Jizhou or Yanzhou after losing so many soldiers and horses.

Of course, there is a reason why Xiahoudun gave up chasing and killing Zhang Jaw, Cao Boss did not plan to let Zhang Jaw go, so he still ambushed a large number of crossbowmen on the road, and the Yanzhou army got countless repeaters from the Jizhou army this time, which was enough for Zhang Jaw to fall on the road.

Zhang Jaw covered the wound all the way to avoid excessive blood loss and death, while changing the road to flee to the camp, occasionally looking back to find that the enemy general did not pursue, but when he was relieved, he concentrated his spirit to a high degree, the enemy is very cunning and difficult to ensure that he is not playing conspiracy.

Sure enough, Zhang Jaw encountered the enemy's crossbow attack again, and thousands of enemies appeared on the way back to the camp, and those who had crossbows in their hands pulled the trigger without even looking at Zhang Jaw's face. Zhang Jaw lost a lot of physical strength when he was fighting with Xiahou Dun before, and now he encountered the enemy's ambush, Zhang Jaw could only secretly say in his heart: Heaven will kill me. However, in order to survive, Zhang Jaw could only grit his teeth and wave the spear in his hand to block the arrows aimed at him.

I don't know if it was the first few times the impact was shot back by the enemy with arrows, Zhang Jaw couldn't remember it clearly, Zhang Jaw only knew that his physical strength was gradually draining. Even in the night, even by the moonlight and torches, there are still many places that are pitch black, although it is not pitch black here, but there are many things that cannot be seen clearly, and the arrows can only be blocked by this sensory change in the surrounding air. The Yanzhou sergeant had a repeating crossbow in his hand, and it was a three-stage shot, so he could lock on to the jaw without observing the target.

The physical strength is exhausted, the blood at the wound is draining, there are more and more places on the body that are hit by arrows, and the open jaw only feels that his eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and he wants to sleep very much, and he feels very tired. At this moment, there were suddenly several more crossbow arrows on Zhang Jaw's body, and Zhang Jaw finally couldn't support it anymore, and the majestic figure lay down straight.

Due to the lack of command from the Yuzhou battalion, and the fact that the Yuzhou army had its own scores and was not unified with each other, Cao Lao led people to rush into the camp and immediately caused a panic in the Yuzhou army, and the Yuzhou army, which could not organize effective resistance, was quickly divided into several small pieces and eaten one bite by the others. Many Yuzhou soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered to the Yanzhou army on the spot, but there were still many Yuzhou soldiers who chose to escape.

Cao Lao Da attacked the Yuzhou camp with an army of 30,000, and left thousands of soldiers and horses on the periphery to block the surrounding intersections for mobile troops, striving to reduce the number of fish that slipped through the net to a very small extent.

The war lasted only one hour before it ended, and in the face of a well-calculated war, the Yuzhou army could only lose its armor and collapse without the main general. Seeing that they were powerless to resist, countless Yuzhou troops could only choose to surrender.

Puji Town was burned to ashes by Cao Boss, but the people of Puji Town were secretly transferred away by Cao Boss as early as the afternoon, so there were no innocent casualties.

After the end of the battle, Cao Laoda rewarded the three armies, then counted the casualties, rested for the night in Puji Town, and then rushed back to the southern mountains of Yanzhou for defense.

Zhang's jaw was almost wiped out, Yuzhou's vitality was greatly damaged, and he wanted to make a comeback or take revenge, Cao Boss stationed troops at the border just to no longer trouble the next time he sent troops, and in the face of this toothless tiger, Cao Boss only needed to find an appropriate time to eat it in one bite.

With the incident in Yuzhou, the situation of Jizhou being attacked from all sides has also improved, and Fan Xiwen can rest assured that he can focus on dealing with the strong enemies on the other three sides.

On November 10 of the fifth year of Zhongping, Bingzhou Thorn Shi Ding Yuan sent troops to attack Guangping County, and the Second Army Corps of Jizhou immediately launched a counterattack, and then Fan Xiwen personally led the Independent Brigade and the Guards Brigade to support. And Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, also faintly wanted to attack Zhongshan, and the Jizhou Staff immediately ordered people to fortify in the area of Zhongshan, and the general who led the troops was Zhao Yun, the commander of Long Xiangwei, but it seems that the Jizhou army did not focus on Youzhou for the time being.

With the containment of two armies on the Bingzhou side and the Youzhou side, they are not able to move forward for the time being, and in essence, these two sides have lost their due role.

In the Sanfu area of Luoyang, as the horn of the attack of the First Army of Jizhou began to sound, the multi-line defense line organized by He Hou all ended in failure, and the Jizhou army marched all the way to the vicinity of the Sanfu area. In the end, there was no way, and Empress He could only ask the veteran Zhu Jun to personally take command and squeeze out tens of thousands of troops to make the final resistance in the Sanfu area. This is the last force that can be drawn out of all the forces of He Hou, if Zhu Jun fails, then He Hou can only rely on the number of large passes to defend to the death.

Listening to the information coming from the front line, Zhu Jun couldn't help frowning, thinking that Xiao'er, who had only a few hundred people at the beginning, now used hundreds of thousands of soldiers to dominate one side, which was really unpredictable. Over the years, Zhu Jun has also heard about Fan Xiwen, from Le'an Ling all the way to Jizhou Assassin History, it only took five years, Zhu Jun can only say that this person is too sharp.

Fan Xiwen was promoted by Zhu Jun, and the reason why He Hou asked Zhu Jun to lead his troops to resist the attack of the Jizhou Army was that on the one hand, Zhu Jun could indeed take command of the expedition when the generals in the DPRK were useless, and on the other hand, He Hou also had the intention of asking Zhu Jun to atone for his sins, you must know that Fan Xiwen was promoted by Zhu Jun, and he didn't know anyone.

"General, we shouldn't have promoted Fan Xiwen, a white-eyed wolf, in the first place, but now he has actually rebelled, and he has walked on the opposite road with you." Sima Zhao Xu of the Chinese army was already gray-haired at this time, and the years were unforgiving, and the former heroic general Sima had become an old man in his twilight. Zhao Xu had also seen Fan Xiwen and the three of them, Fan Xiwen's original words were still echoing in Zhao Xu's ears, but now the situation has changed, Fan Xiwen is no longer the leader of the rebel army who speaks in a low voice, and others are already princes with hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Well, what's the use of talking about that now? Fan Xiwen is now a prince who holds one side in his hands, and the lands of Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou are all in his hands, and all the soldiers and horses add up to at least more than 500,000. Zhu Jun couldn't help but sigh and said, then waved his hand to Zhao Xu and said, "Where is the First Army of the Jizhou Army?" ”

"There are still more than 150 miles away from our army, and according to their marching speed, they will be able to reach the Anji area tomorrow afternoon." Zhao Xu replied affirmatively.

"They marched at a really fast pace, and ordered the troops to camp on the spot, rest for the day, and wait for the arrival of the enemy." Zhu Jun ordered Zhao Xu, the two of them are old partners, so they have a tacit understanding of each other.

"Yes." Zhao Xu answered, and then turned around and went out to pass on Zhu Jun's order, as soon as Zhao Xu walked out, Zhu Jun's self-confidence that was still on his lips suddenly disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a kind of helplessness. In fact, Zhu Jun began to study the tactics of the Jizhou Army half a year ago, but until now, Zhu Jun has only studied a rough idea, and has come to the conclusion that it is invincible and can only be outwitted.

No matter how many people there are in the Jizhou Army, don't have a head-to-head confrontation with the Jizhou Army at any time, otherwise you will only be the most injured. The Jizhou army has only one purpose in fighting, that is, to win the final victory, in order to win it can be said that everything can be done, and the Jizhou army must have the mental preparation to fight with the scoundrels, because your opponent will become a despicable villain at any time, and their purpose is only to win victory.

In addition to the despicable tactics of the Jizhou Army, the troops of the Jizhou Army were also quite flexible, and the military establishment of the Jizhou Army was the most perfect one Zhu Jun had ever seen, which greatly optimized the flexibility of command. Facing a brand-new opponent, Zhu Jun was not sure of victory, and the confidence he made just now was just to stabilize the emotions of his subordinates.

On the other side, the First Army Corps of Jizhou was on the march, and after receiving the report from the scouts, Liu Ke still ordered the troops to continue the march without stopping at all.

During the march, many officers suggested that the Jizhou army temporarily stop advancing and rest in place for a night before setting off, so that the physical strength of the soldiers could keep up, otherwise the high-intensity march would easily make the enemy wait for work. However, this suggestion did not make Liu Ke change the order, both the marching commander-in-chief and the marching staff took a rejection attitude towards this suggestion, and there was no way, the officers had to urge their men to march the troops, and at the same time do their best to preserve the physical strength of their subordinates.

Liu Ke, the commander-in-chief of the march, and Guo Jia, the staff officer of the march, were not the kind of reckless men who only knew how to rush and kill, and they did not take the advice of their officers because Guo Jia had already had his own plan, so there was no need to be afraid of Zhu Jun's sneak attack.

Just when all the soldiers and soldiers of Jizhou were marching forcibly, many of the reconnaissance troops of the Jizhou army did not know where to go, and these scout troops of Zhu Jun did not find out because of the concealment.

"Only if Zhu Jun's troops are defeated, then the resistance to march to Luoyang will be almost zero, and those Shenma passes can only be floating clouds, brothers, drink this glass of wine for the upcoming victory, we are ready to attack at any time." On an unknown hill in the Sanfu area, Xu Chu was making the final mobilization with a wine jar, as a special force to attack Luoyang, Xu Chu must of course be ready for battle.
