Chapter 846: Turning Defeat into Victory

Although Chai Rong hates Zong Xin to death, Chai Rong's ability to Zong Xin is still certain. As long as you are sure that this is Zongxin's idea, then let's do it for the time being. What can you do if you don't do it? You can't take so many soldiers and suddenly turn around to Weizhou, how embarrassing is that?

Chai Rong drove his first personal expedition since he ascended the throne and led his troops to fight. The first time I encountered an enemy army, there was a trap ahead, but the soldiers couldn't tell that it was a trap. Regardless of whether the battle is won or lost, if you leave directly, the soldiers will definitely laugh at themselves as an incompetent emperor, and in the first battle, when they see the enemy, they will run...... "The emperor is really greedy for life and afraid of death", "Our army is far superior to the enemy, but the emperor does not dare to fight, so he runs away" This kind of words will spread in the barracks.

I really can't afford to lose this face, and when I see the enemy for the first time, I have to rush over and fight. If the army rushes out of the city, it's a big deal to run away......

Just as he was thinking, a team of people suddenly rushed out of the city. At this time, there was still a period of time before Luzhou City, and the number of people and horses rushing out of the city was not large, and it seemed that they were wearing tatters, as if they had just experienced a big war. The most reassuring thing is that they are holding the flag of the Great Zhou.

The army that rushed out of the city came directly to Chai Rong's army, and then the leader immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground. Immediately after that, more than 1,000 people knelt down behind him.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live~~!"

Fan Zhen immediately said: "Who is coming, speak closely." ”

The general took a few steps forward, knelt in front of Chai Rongma and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is the defense envoy of Luzhou, Shi Yanchao." After Jiedu caused Lord Li to abandon the city and flee, I waited for more than 1,000 people to resist desperately, and finally held the city. The enemy general was Liu Chengjun, the second son of Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty, who saw that he could not attack for a long time, so he stationed troops outside the city and drank and had fun all day long. There were only more than 1,000 people left in our army, and they did not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle, and they had been looking forward to the reinforcements sent by His Majesty. ”

Drag it out and cut it off. Chai Rong shouted this sentence countless times in his heart, but he never came out. The reason is very simple, this person's name is Shi Yanchao, which is too similar to his most limited Murong Yanchao. Fortunately, he is not bald, and this kind of loyal minister cannot be killed, it turned out that he took these remnants of the army to defend the city, so that Luzhou did not fall.

Chai Rong turned his head to look at Li Ying...... I really want to rush up and give him two slaps. Why is his face so thick-skinned, the city has not been completely broken, this festival envoy abandoned the city and fled, and caused everyone to discuss here for a long time, but Luzhou City was not broken at all.

Of course, you have to confirm the identity of the person who came. In the end, is it Shi Yanchao, the defense envoy of Luzhou? This must also be asked to Li Jing, because there are too many officials in the world, and not everyone in Chai Rong thinks so.

Chai Rong said: "What a bold Li Jing, open your eyes and take a good look, do you recognize this person?"

Li Jing's face was already pale with fright, how could he not know the Luzhou defense envoy? Immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"Wechen should die, Wechen should die. On that day, the minister thought that Luzhou would be broken, and the Northern Han army was attacking fiercely, and it had already attacked the battlements of the city tower, and our army suffered heavy casualties, and it was impossible to hold it at all. That's why the minister abandoned the city and fled, but the minister didn't think ......"

Shi Yanchao said: "Lord Li, the lower officials also thought that Luzhou would be broken, but then the Northern Han army suddenly stopped attacking and collected troops and returned to the camp, which gave our army a little respite. Although our army suffered heavy losses, although it was defending the city, because of the order of Lord Li Jing, Mu Lingjun pursued without authorization, and General Mu died tragically outside the city. The 10,000 troops used by the Northern Han to attack Luzhou were lost to about 8,000 by our army, and our army originally had more than 6,000 people, and now only 1,000 people remain. Liu Chengjun did not dare to attack, so he cut off our army's water and food, prepared to besiege the city and die, and did not waste a single soldier to trap our army in Luzhou. ”

"How is this possible?" Li Ying looked at Shi Yanchao with an incredulous expression. I can't imagine that he actually guarded it, it's really hard to imagine.

"Bold Li Jing, is what you just said true or false?"

Li Jing gritted his teeth and nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty, at that time, Zhang Yuan was slightly defeated and fled, and the minister thought it was ......."

"Shut up, drag it down and keep it under strict control, and make a decision after the war. Chai Rong didn't give Li Ying a chance to explain at all, not to mention that his explanation was originally weak. When others are defeated and flee, he sends people to pursue them, and this is simply a bastard, and he can't even see the difference in strength, and he dares to chase people when defending the city? This is clearly sending people to death.

Shi Yanchao said: "Your Majesty, now that the reinforcements have arrived, our army is fearless. His Majesty is also invited to go to the city to recuperate, so that the soldiers can sleep well before going out of the city to face the battle. ”

"Are you blind when you are the enemy? With so many reinforcements rushing to Luzhou, they only have more than 8,000 people, and they dare to continue to besiege the city?" Chai Rong said: "I ordered a direct attack, and I must not let the Northern Han thieves escape." ”

"Your Majesty thinks twice. Fan said: "Something is strange......

Chai Rong said: "Zongxin's bag originally said to directly attack the army outside the city, and I originally thought that there was some trap, but it turned out to be like this. Ordered the whole army to attack, there must be no mistake, Shi Yanchao returned to the city first. ”

"Yes. ”XN

Everyone immediately ordered an attack, and the 30,000-strong troops advanced to Luzhou City at great speed, and then Zhang Guoluzhou City launched an attack on the army besieging the city in the west.

The troops hoarded outside the city by the Northern Han had already received the news and prepared for a defensive offensive to meet the onslaught of the Great Zhou army. It was just a siege around the city, and soon saw the Northern Han army camped outside Luzhou, Chai Rong didn't care too much at all, and directly ordered the attack. The disparity in strength is so huge that there is no need for any tactics of war at all, and it is a big victory to rush straight over.

The two sides immediately fought together, 30,000 to 8,000, there was almost no suspense, and the number was completely crushed. The Northern Han army struggled to support, but the gap in strength was too great, and the Northern Han army could only huddle in a heap and narrow the scope.

Not long after the battle, the gate of Luzhou was opened, and countless Northern Han troops rushed out with their own banners. At this time, Chai Rong knew that the generals who came out of Luzhou just now had already rebelled. But I really didn't expect that all these people would rebel, even if a loyal person shouted a word, he could break this trap. None of the more than 1,000 people who defected delivered the message...... The character of these soldiers is too bad.

"Back defense, back defense, there is an ambush. Chai Rong immediately ordered, the Northern Han troops outside the city were immediately back to defend, and the Northern Han army also got a chance to breathe.

In this case, it is impossible to break through. Holding the position is also a dead end, after all, this place cannot be called a position at all, it is just using the soldier's body as a wall and resisting desperately. The enemy forces are superior in numbers, and in order to avoid being flanked in front and rear, they can only be surrounded, so that they can drag on for a longer time.

But what's the use of this? When the new Emperor Chai Rong ascended the throne, he never imagined that he would encounter such a situation. But this battle determines the fate of the Great Zhou, and if this battle is lost, the entire Great Zhou will be over.

Chai Rong immediately made a decision and ordered Du Yu Hou Li Chongjin to lead the left army to counterattack westward. Fan Aineng and He Hui led the right army to counterattack to the east. In front of the palace, Zhang Yongde led the forbidden army to defend Sejong. Zhao Kuangyin led the iron cavalry to launch a general attack directly forward.

Chai Rong ignored the rear, resisted the left and right, and gathered all his forces on Zhao Kuangyin, allowing Zhao Kuangyin to break through and counterattack. This decision was very risky, but Chai Rong had no choice but to do it. Only put all the bets on Zhao Kuangyin, who has the highest martial arts.

Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to forcibly break through, relying on his strong martial arts and sitting down on the black bull, he couldn't stop it at all. It is like a hot knife inserted into lard, tearing a hole directly out of the Northern Han army. Behind him were all the iron horsemen of the original Ao Gang, and Zong Xin's strong financial resources armed them to the teeth, one by one, invulnerable, galloping on the battlefield.

The war was brutal, several fought back and forth, corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed. Raise the knife and slash until the blade is notched all over, your hands are numb, and there is nothing but red in your eyes. The soldiers went completely crazy, and some even threw away their weapons and fought directly with each other empty-handed.

At the end of the war is madness, the brain is blank, and there is nothing but killing in the eyes. The so-called killing red eyes is like this, the screams are mixed with the sound of horses, and every time the knife is cut, I don't know where to cut, and after the strength of the whole body is hollowed out, the body can still move.

The left and right defense lines of the Zhou army have long been collapsed, and the generals Fan Aineng and He Hui died on the battlefield. Li Chongjin was seriously injured and carried to Chai Rong's side to be protected by the forbidden army. But at this time, the head of the civil official showed the demeanor of a military general, holding a show sword in his hand to kill, no worse than any military general.

The whole battlefield was chaotic, but there was one team that was in order. Zhao Kuangyin led the Ao Gang Iron Cavalry to rush and kill in the battlefield, although there were not many of them, but they almost ran through the front and back, and where reinforcements were needed, they arrived immediately. The archers were not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of Zhao Kuangyin and his party, and they were the first to rush to kill.

The team crossed a bloody road, and finally completely dispersed the entire Northern Han army, and the Zhou army slowly assembled to form a large-scale counterattack...... Set the win.

The defeat was like a mountain, the original advantage of the Northern Han army was gone, and Liu Chong was stunned at the battlements of Luzhou. Seeing one army after another retreating to Luzhou City because they couldn't resist the pressure, Liu Chong was completely dumbfounded. This is a very good score, why is it being counterattacked? Why?

Sticking to Luzhou City is definitely a dead end. Liu Chong ignored Luzhou at all, and fled directly with his troops, followed by Liu Chengjun. The army without generals was like a plate of scattered sand, and the Zhou army easily won a big victory. Thousands of Northern Han troops were captured and tens of thousands were killed.

This time let everyone feel the cruelty of war, although this is a big victory, but the loss of the Zhou army is not small, no one feels a trace of joy, the fear and excitement of being on the battlefield, except for the madman, no one really likes it.

Commanding the rear and fighting the enemy at the front are completely different experiences, and all the soldiers are covered in blood, and their hands are shaking and they can't stop at all. Even Chai Rong was completely depleted, his brain was in chaos, he didn't know what he was thinking, and the murderous aura in his heart was unprecedented.
