Chapter 349: Blocked in Front, Pursued From Behind, Ready to Die

Seeing that Zhang Liao was not only fine but also promoted to a famous general, Gu Rubing was overjoyed. After every first-class general was promoted to a famous general, the characteristics he obtained were far higher than other characteristics.

After Zhang Liao saw Gu Rubing, he immediately stood up and knelt down, but was stopped by Gu Rubing.

"Wenyuan, this doesn't have to be the case between brothers."

"My lord, Wen Yuan has neglected his duty, please punish me."

Before Zhang Liao lost consciousness, he only knew that he was rescued by Zhang Jia and knew nothing else. When he woke up, he realized that Zhou Yu had led an army and headed straight for Jiujiang County.

"Wen Yuan, how can you say you have neglected your duty?"

Gu Rubing patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder.

"Not to mention that you defended Guangling City, even if you didn't defend Guangling City, you are still alive, aren't you? To me, you are greater than ten Guangling cities!"

It was because of Gu Rubing's words that Zhang Liao decided to defend Guangling City and wanted to repay the other party for his kindness.

"Wenyuan, since you are no longer seriously injured, can you take on the task of surprise attack on Wu County in Yangzhou?"

Gu Rubing looked at Zhang Liao solemnly. There is no doubt that Zhang Liao is the most suitable for the task of surprise attack on Yangzhou. First of all, he does not need too many troops. Secondly, with the bonus of Zhang Liao's attack characteristics, except for Zhang Fei, No one is faster than Zhang Liao. In addition, Zhang Liao has fewer enemies and more commanding skills. There is no one more suitable than Zhang Liao.

After Zhang Liao heard Gu Rubing's inquiry, he immediately patted his chest.

"My lord, as long as you give me two thousand elite cavalry, I can conquer the entire Wu County!"

"Okay, Wenyuan, whether we can save Yide and the others this time depends entirely on you."

On the same day, Zhang Liao led two thousand elite cavalry and went straight to Wu County in Yangzhou. At the same time, Tai Shici led five hundred scouts and rushed towards Chengde to clear the way for Gu Rubing's army.

In two days, they finally arrived near Chengde. As soon as Taishi Ci arrived, he saw the scene of soldiers bullying the shopkeeper. Taishi Ci could not tolerate it anymore, so he immediately sent them to the west, and then continued to move forward.

Soon, a wave of scouts came to report.

"General, we found a large number of cavalry ambushing not far away. They are all staring in the direction of Chengde. No one is looking behind."

"Approximately how many people are there?"

"It looks like there should be about ten thousand people, just in front of the mountain col."

Hearing this, Taishi Ci already knew that this was an ambush set up by the enemy to prevent anyone from escaping from Chengde. Just imagine, the soldiers who had just escaped turned around and encountered well-equipped soldiers waiting for work. What should ten thousand cavalry do? Naturally, the situation was in chaos and they could only be massacred by the cavalry.

"How long is it, lord, from here?"

"We'll be here within an hour."

Behind him, another scout reported. Taishi Ci's mind changed rapidly. He must not be able to wait for an hour. On the battlefield, things were changing rapidly. The winner could be determined by a stick of incense in a quarter of an hour, let alone an hour.

"Surround all the scouts. It's time for us to show our faces. After today, our names will be heard all over the country!"

Taishi Ci took out the Zhuge Liannu, and the scouts behind him followed suit. Today, they will use 500 people to attack 10,000 people, one against twenty.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the five hundred scouts were assembled, divided into five groups, and surrounded the mountain col from the outside.

At this moment, Han Dang was drinking wine. He didn't want to take the lead in this battle and win the first prize, so that he could defeat Lu Meng. However, he was insignificant and lacked strength, so he could only eat this bad thing. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Han Dang smashed the wine jar in his hand to the ground.

As the wine jar shattered, some of the sleeping soldiers around him woke up immediately. They all looked at their generals. Among them, the deputy general was about to ask what happened to Han Dang, but in the next moment, a crossbow arrow penetrated his head, and warm blood sprayed out. When he came out, Han Dang had a look on his face. Han Dang, who was in a rage, didn't react for a while. He didn't react until the deputy general collapsed in front of him.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Han Dang roared twice, raised his spear and mounted his horse, trying to find the source of the crossbow arrows, but he soon discovered that the crossbow arrows seemed to come from all directions, and they continued for a long time. At least after shooting thousands of crossbow arrows, There was a short break.

"There are at least several thousand people on the other side."

Han Dang was frightened. He could equip thousands of people with crossbows. What he encountered must be regular troops under Liu Bei's command. Only now did those lazy soldiers reorganize their formation and pursue Taishi Ci and others. Nearly one-third of the people were killed by crossbow arrows in their sleep.

"Hahahaha, the sky finally opened its eyes, and I met a regular army of big-eared thieves!"

The original fear in Han Dang's heart has been overcome by excitement at this moment. With thousands of soldiers and crossbowmen, Han Dang has absolute confidence to eat this cavalry. As long as he eats this cavalry, his military exploits will not be lost. Did he get it? If he got the military exploits, it meant that he could be promoted to a higher rank, and he would no longer have to be bullied by Lu Meng.

"Charge! Charge me! Kill them!"

Han Dang roared angrily and chased towards the place where Tai Shici left. After running out of the mountain col, there was a vast plain. The two sides started a chase. When he saw that there were only a few hundred people on the other side, Han Dang was completely broken. Damn, why are there only a few hundred riders? How could five hundred horsemen shoot thousands of crossbow arrows quickly?

If it was a few hundred riders, Han Dang would still be punished even if he killed the opponent. Just now, the opponent fired a volley and killed more than 2,000 people. The two thousand people were exchanged for the opponent's hundreds of riders, let alone receiving the merit. If you go back without being punished, thank God. When Lu Meng knows about it, he will look down on him even more.

Thinking of this, Han Dang was furious.

"Charge! Capture them alive!"

Now, Han Dang can only pray that there is someone important among the opponent's hundreds of riders, so that he can keep his position as the commander of the army.

Taishi Ci led 500 scouts, but he was only more than 300 meters ahead of Han Dang and the others. The distance was 400 meters. For the cavalry, this distance was only a few breaths of time.

However, it didn't take many rounds for Han Dang to realize that something was wrong. When he was fast, the opponent was fast, and when he was slow, the opponent was also slow. He always stayed three or four hundred meters in front of him, neither escaping nor fighting against him.

Moreover, the crossbow used by the opponent is too weird. At such a long distance, it can kill with one crossbow. Moreover, the opponent's crossbow arrows don't seem to need to be loaded or changed at all. The opponent's scouts tied their legs to the horse's legs, turned over and dismounted, and used one hand to Holding on to the saddle, he raised the crossbow with his other hand to shoot.

This kind of riding skill, let alone regular cavalry, is difficult for even some elite cavalry to perform such difficult movements. The opponent is clearly hundreds of crossbowmen, but the crossbowmen are limited by the use of crossbows. The restriction should be that there is no strong combat power.

But the opponent's crossbow seems to be different from Tongren's crossbow. It is not only powerful, but also highly accurate. Almost three arrows can kill one person, or even two people. The opponent's crossbow does not need to be loaded. Almost everyone can shoot about ten crossbow arrows before getting back on the horse to reload the crossbow.

They had been pursuing for less than a quarter of an hour. The number of eight thousand people at the beginning had dropped sharply to five thousand. In the quarter of an hour of pursuit, they lost a full three thousand people.

Han Dang is completely over the top now. How can he bear the loss of five thousand cavalry? He spent all his family resources to raise these ten thousand cavalry, and now they are dead in less than half an hour. Halfway through, he can no longer control so much. He has only one goal, which is to kill the other party to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Taishi Ci couldn't help but smile as he watched the other party chasing him more and more closely.

"Third brother, he is enraged now. The next step is to take them in a circle and kill them all. You take ten people and explore the road ahead to remove all the Sun thieves' strongholds. Don’t let them notice my lord’s support.”

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes next to him nodded after hearing Tai Shici's words and shouted behind him.

"If you are not afraid of death, come to Shibiao and follow me to kill Thief Sun!"

"I go!"

"Let's go too!"

"Count us in!"

Soon, the Shibiao people broke away from the large army. Han Dang and the others were not far away, so they could naturally see their movements. But at this moment, Han Dang could only see the few hundred riders in front of him. As for the dozens of riders who had escaped, Don't care at all.

Seeing the men in front of him fall down one by one, Han Dang finally regained some sense. He turned around and saw that there were only more than 4,000 cavalry left in the original 10,000-person cavalry team, but they were not there from the beginning to the end. He didn't touch the opponent at all, not even the opponent's horse's tail.

At this time, Han Dang finally reacted.

"Quick, quick, go back! Go back to Chengde!"

Han Dang's clothes inside his armor were already soaked through at this moment. He suddenly remembered his mission. He was responsible for ambushing those who escaped, and at the same time he was responsible for stopping those who came to support from the north. As a result, he was beaten step by step by the enemy. The temptation was gone, and it was only now that he realized that he might have been deceived.

The four thousand riders turned around and galloped towards Chengde. Taishi Ci laughed when he saw that the other party finally reacted.

"Brothers, come to life, kill them all, don't let them stop the lord from going south."

So just now there were more than 4,000 cavalry chasing down more than 400 cavalry, but now it has become more than 400 cavalry chasing down more than 4,000 cavalry. The situation has been reversed.

On the other side, in Chengde Army Town, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei had already fought their way out of the east city gate, but they found that outside the east city gate, Sun Ce was stationed here with 50,000 cavalry. After seeing Zhang Fei and the others, Sun Ce looked fierce. Sex, he followed Zhou Yu's order to wait for the other party here, who would have thought that he would actually wait.

"kill!"

Zhao Yun and others, who had just broken out of the siege, were once again caught in a deadly battle. This time the situation was more severe than in the city, with interceptions in front and pursuers behind.

"Brother, you go first, I'll take the lead!"

Zhao Yun roared, brandished the silver gentian spear and once again rushed back to the Chengde Army Town single-handedly, killing the pursuing soldiers without hesitation.

"Brother Zilong!"

Zhang Fei yelled angrily, but failed to stop Zhao Yun from heading south. Zhang Fei threw out the eight-foot-long snake spear. The sharp spear blade slashed across the surroundings, sweeping away all the people in the surrounding circle. The invisible air wave was like It was slashed out like a sharp blade, knocking over the soldiers in the distance.

Zhao Yun, alone, rushed into the midst of thousands of troops. The Dragon Fury characteristic of the Desperate Situation was fully triggered, and he received all the buffs for the part he was in. Coupled with the powerful characteristic of "I am the Destiny" and the huge buff bonus, Zhao Yun was able to defeat the enemy's army. It's like entering a deserted place.

Zhang Fei's eyes were splitting as he watched Zhao Yun rush into the crowd again.

"Brothers, follow me and fight back! If you want to walk together, we will die together!"

Zhang Fei stopped rushing out and led the cavalry to fight back. Looking at the two men who had returned to the city, he opened his jaw and looked up at the sky.

"Then let's fight out and fuck the chicken feathers!"

The next moment, Zhang Jia also turned his horse's head and fought back into the military town.

"Wow, wow, I'm crying, brothers. Is this the romance between brothers? It's so touching. Stay with me."

"There are the rats of Jiangdong in Jiangdong, and the romance of Liu Caoxiao is the same as Liu Caoxiao! Cry first to show respect!"

"Why do you feel that the troops led by Zhou Yu are so fierce this time? In Guangling City, 130,000 people fought against 10,000 people, and more than 50,000 people were killed. In the end, Guangling City was not captured, and now it is 300,000, no, To be precise, the total number of people participating in the battle is less than 200,000. If we fight 100,000, we will soon defeat the opponent. Is the increase in combat power too fast? Is it possible that Sun Menghu is spending money? Or are you planning to strengthen Zhou Yu? This doesn’t make sense.”

"Most of the people Zhou Yu brought to Guangling were local troops, but most of the people he brought this time were regular troops. There is a relatively large gap between the two services. It is normal for the combat effectiveness of each to differ. That’s understandable.”

"Sun Menghu will not give up until he takes down Liu Caoxie this time. It seems that Liu Caoxie may not be able to turn defeat into victory this time."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Liu Caoxiao is only half an hour away from Chengde Army Town. Do you think Zhou Yu and the others can defeat San Ye and Zilong in this half hour? You are thinking too much."

"Excuse me. Liu Caoxie has led an army of 350,000 to Jiujiang County. He will arrive in Chengde soon. Let's see how Sun Menghu faces Liu Caoxie's army of 350,000."

"Don't play word games. What's the 350,000-strong army? Liu Caoxiao's 350,000-yellow-turban reserve troops are also called a large army? In front of elite soldiers and generals like Sun Menghu, they are just local chickens and dogs. I'm afraid even Sun Menghu's men You can't stop even one of his charges, right?"

"Sun Menghu's 300,000-strong army has more than 100,000 dead now, and there are still 200,000 left. The Third Master and the others still have 30,000. If they want to take advantage of the 30,000 of the Third Master and the others, I'm afraid another 50,000 will die. , when the time comes, Liu Caoxiao will have the advantage.”

"And you fans of Sun Menghu, do you think that Xu Rong led an army of 30,000 people in Guangling City to make a living? Zhang Liao, Jiangdong's nemesis, has also been cured by the miracle doctor Hua Tuo, and is now leading 2,000 cavalry towards the city. Your base is in Wu County, so Sun Menghu doesn’t have any chance of victory.”

"Also, moreover, over in Yuzhang County, Huang Zhong under Liu Biao has begun to attack the city with an army of 200,000. Nanchang, the seat of Yuzhang County, has only tens of thousands of soldiers in total, plus Gan The 50,000 people Ning brought over were less than 100,000. Facing Jingzhou's 200,000 troops, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long. Sun Menghu has completely collapsed, and there is no chance. "

"After this battle, Sun Menghu may have completely lost the opportunity to compete for hegemony."
