Chapter 1767 There is hope in living
Zhang Liao did not expect that he would be so smooth after successfully taking Fengcheng.
Before, Guo Jia asked Zhang Liao to lead his troops to detour. He originally wanted to attack Fengcheng and make Lu Su feel in a hurry. After all, in the eyes of Guo Jia and Zhang Liao, Lu Su was stationed in Fengcheng for such a long time, this defense was still possible. Zhang Liao also took some careful precautions to avoid excessive casualties.
But Fengcheng's defense is almost the same as none.
Zhang Liao led his troops to the city, but the Eastern Wu army guarding the city was in a hurry and did not even achieve a decent counterattack.
In fact, the defender Fu Lei, who stayed in Fengcheng, had never expected that Liu Jun would come. Fu Lei felt that unless Lu Su was defeated, Liu Jun would attack Fengcheng. The defender thought so, and the thoughts of his soldiers would be even simpler. They all thought that Lu Su led the army to fight out, and if Liu Jun wanted to fight to Fengcheng, he would not know when. At least it would not be now.
So the guard Fu Lei found a place and enjoyed it while Lu Su was away.
The Eastern Wu suffered too much military losses and had to replenish its troops from the reserve troops and the tyrants. Fu Lei was a little shrimp before. If it weren't for Lu Su's unavailable, how could he hand over the important task of Fengcheng to him?
Lu Su may be too confident or made a mistake.
A soldier was a group of soldiers and a nest of bears. The defenders of Fengcheng were a joke, and they didn't even close the city gate. Zhang Liao broke the city gate with just one wave of attack and then rushed into the city. When Zhang Liao rushed to the mansion where the guard general Fu Lei was located, the idiot was still communicating in-depth with a beautiful girl.
Zhang Liao simply shattered his views. It was the first time he saw a general dereliction of duty to this point. Without a second thought, Zhang Liao pushed Fu Lei directly and asked the soldiers to chop off his head. Fu Lei kept wailing and begging for mercy, but Zhang Liao was still unmoved. Zhang Liao really wanted to kill Fu Lei himself, but he felt that he would defile his weapons.
In the end, Fu Lei's head was still hanging on the head of the city, warning the soldiers of the Eastern Wu. As for the beautiful girl who communicated with Fu Lei in depth, Zhang Liao did not make any embarrassment and was released directly. Zhang Liao has always felt pity for women. After all, in a chaotic world where men rule everything, it is not easy for women to survive.
Zhang Liao thought that the soldiers of the Eastern Wu would be shocked or panicked because of Fu Lei's head. But this scene did not appear. The captured soldiers of the Eastern Wu should eat and drink.
Zhang Liao couldn't stand it anymore and asked directly at a prisoner: "Why are you like this?"
The prisoner who was asked raised his head and looked at Zhang Liao, and said boredly: "General Zhang, we all heard about your reputation. But the question you asked is really worried about whether your brain is broken."
When the personal soldiers around Zhang Liao saw that the man was so bold, they immediately showed their knife and cursed: "Bold!"
Zhang Liao immediately stopped his personal soldiers. Seeing that his boss had stopped them, they took the knife back.
Seeing that this person was a little brave and strong, Zhang Liao could tell that he was a little capable, so he bowed and said, "I dare to ask about the name of a hero!"
Seeing that Zhang Liao was so polite, the captive immediately saluted Zhang Liao and replied: "The little man and horses are thriving."
"So it's Marsman Ma!" Zhang Liao said with a smile: "I'm also a soldier. Fu Lei is not worthy of this person. But Lu Su is a good official. Why did he lose after he was defeated in one battle? His face is normal now and there is no strange color?"
This is the issue that Zhang Liao is most concerned about.
Ma Fen bowed and replied, "It's a great idea for the general to find out. We were all good people, and we were all at home two months ago. However, Wu Gong summoned soldiers and worked at home, but we were forced to join the army. We were separated from our family. We had never had any military affairs and wanted to resist the general's army, so we couldn't talk about it. Besides, it's better for Lu Su to be an official, but what does he have to do with him as his official? We all hope that the war will stop as soon as possible and go home."
When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately understood that most of these Eastern Wu prisoners were strong men and had no combat experience. Moreover, because they were forced to come in, they were not so loyal to Eastern Wu. Even people like Ma Fen had some complaints.
If someone was staying at home, he was suddenly defeated and separated from his family. He didn't know if he could go back alive. He would be strange if he had no complaints in his heart.
"So that's it!" Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh. There was no such situation in the Shenwu court. When the army was voluntary, they could also receive various preferential treatments.
In Dongwu, there is no such thing.
Zhang Liao smiled slightly at Ma Fen and said, "I will see that you are very talkative, why not join the court and share your worries for Your Majesty?"
"The general is very loving!" Ma Fen refused politely: "The villain has no ambition and can only go home to take care of his parents, wife and children. If the general's grace allows the villain to go home, the villain will be grateful!"
Not everyone is ambitious. Many ordinary people just want to live a peaceful life, but they don’t want to be prosperous and wealthy.
In a chaotic world, stability is the expectation of many people.
Zhang Liao sighed and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions! If you have this intention, I will fulfill you. If you want to go home, you can leave now. If you want to join the court, I will welcome you. But I will also persuade you, the people will not be able to remain peaceful before the Eastern Wu has been destroyed."
"If you live, there will be hope!" Ma Fen replied simply.
Zhang Liao was stunned, then laughed and said, "Okay! OK! I will remember your words!"
What a good sentence, there is hope when you live! Isn’t this what life is like? Zhang Liao, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, was touched by this sentence.
As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, a large number of prisoners immediately expressed their intention to go home.
Zhang Liao did not break his promise and ordered the soldiers to release the prisoners, and even gave them some money and food to make travel expenses.
Released and returned home, and paid the travel expenses! This operation moved Ma Fen and others very much. However, after experiencing the war, they knew the dangers, but they still left unswervingly.
Of course, some people left, some people joined the Shenwu court. There were only only 500 people.
"The people's hearts have been lost! The energy has been exhausted!" Zhang Liao could keenly see from it that the Eastern Wu is over!
After Zhang Liao occupied Fengcheng, he immediately strengthened his defense. He believed that Lu Su would soon know that Fengcheng was lost and would definitely come back to attack crazily. Zhang Liao even lit a wolf smoke to send a signal to Guo Jia.
When Fengcheng was taken down by Zhang Liao, some soldiers of the Eastern Wu fled. Some of them immediately threw off their armor and returned to the people, and stopped participating in the war. Some of them ran quickly to Lusu.
The wolf smoke from Fengcheng floated, and Lu Su soon discovered something was wrong.
Lu Su is very clear about what the wolf smoke means. This is the situation of war in Fengcheng.
"No! There is something wrong with Fengcheng! The whole army turns around!" Lu Su's face was frightened. Fengcheng was his rear base, and there were a large amount of supplies stored in it. If it was taken away by Liu's army, his army would be in danger.
The Eastern Wu army was a little panicked. They also knew the importance of Fengcheng and quickly turned around.
At this moment, the Eastern Wu soldiers who escaped from Fengcheng met Lu Su and the others. After informing their identities, these Eastern Wu soldiers were sent to Lu Su.
"Sir! The big thing is wrong! Fengcheng was captured by Zhang Liao!" Several defeated soldiers from the Eastern Wu cried.
"How is it possible? I left enough troops in Fengcheng. I just came out of Fengcheng. How could Fengcheng be taken down by Zhang Liao? What about Fu Lei? What is he doing for food!?" Lu Su suppressed the nervousness in his heart and asked about the defeated soldiers who had heard the news.
The soldiers of the Eastern Wu who escaped from Fengcheng said with a sad face: "After lord led his troops to attack, Zhang Liao arrived soon after, and Liu's army was extremely fierce. We were caught off guard and were soon broken into the city defense. As for General Fu..."
Speaking of Fu Lei, the soldiers of the Eastern Wu who escaped were gritting their teeth. That kind of idiot really deserves to be damned. It’s just that it’s really embarrassing to say that kind of thing. The general doesn’t do serious things and communicates deeply with women at critical moments. Is this still a human being?
"What's wrong with Fu Lei?" Lu Su was immediately confused.
A soldier from the Eastern Wu couldn't help it and said, "That idiot, after the adults left, he found a woman and went to enjoy herself! He didn't even care about the city defense!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar. This was a huge scandal!
Lu Su's brain suddenly became hot, then his throat became sweet, and blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth. This was anger.
Fu Lei was promoted by Lu Su and also entrusted with important tasks by Lu Su. The person Lu Su valued in the end he harmed Lu Su.
"Fu Lei! You deserve to die!" Lu Su wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said viciously.
The others looked at Lu Su with a nervous look on their faces, they were very confused about the future.
Lu Su was very calm. If he panicked, he would not have to take the entire army.
Lu Su was planning how to deal with Guo Jia before, but never expected that before he came up with a plan, Guo Jia planned him. Lu Su could think that Guo Jia had stopped attacking and started attacking before, and when he saw his army arrive, he retreated quickly, which was clearly attracting his attention so that Zhang Liao would take a group of troops to Fengcheng and finally succeed in the attack.
Although a fool like Fu Lei helped Liu Jun, Lu Su knew that he had made a fatal mistake. If he had given up Fengcheng from the beginning and led all his troops to Sun Ce, then there would not be such a dilemma.
It is indeed a dilemma! Lu Su can imagine that Guo Jia would soon learn the news through Langyan and then come back. At that time, his army was disintegrated due to Fengcheng, and Zhang Liao would come out of Fengcheng again. Under the attack on both sides, Lu Su would definitely be done.
Lu Su was not stupid. It took a certain amount of time for these defeated soldiers to come to him from Fengcheng. However, the wolf smoke had just been lit. Usually, during wars, the wolf smoke asking for help was released first. At this time, there was wolf smoke, which meant that it was a signal sent by Zhang Liao to Guo Jia and a signal of Liu Jun's attack.
"Retreat quickly!" After Lu Su thought it through, he immediately made a decision.
However, as soon as Lu Su gave the order, Liu Jun appeared in his sight.
Guo Jia led Liu Jun to retreat, but he was also paying attention to the situation in Fengcheng. When the wolf smoke ignited, Guo Jia knew that Zhang Liao had attacked Fengcheng, so he immediately asked Liu Jun to kill Lu Su and drag Lu Su down. Even if Guo Jia was smart, he would not have expected that Fengcheng had been taken down by Zhang Liao.
"Soldiers! General Zhang has already killed behind Lu Su. The opportunity to make achievements has come. Let me attack!" Guo Jia issued an order to attack the general attack.
"Kill!" Liu Jun soldiers shouted loudly.
Even if both sides were still a long way from each other, Liu Jun could not threaten the Eastern Wu army for the time being. But at this moment, the Eastern Wu army deeply felt the murderous aura of Liu Jun.
Panic! This is the idea of most Eastern Wu troops.
Seeing that all his subordinates were still moving, Lu Su was furious and said, "What are you doing? Haven't you heard the order of this official?"
A general asked nervously: "Sir, where are we going?"
From this sentence, we can see that the morale of the Eastern Wu army was already in chaos. Without Fengcheng, these Eastern Wu army now didn't know where to go. They came out but did not bring any food, grass and supplies.
Lu Su was in grief and angry. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a scam, but he had to emphasize and said, "Go and support the lord!"
The Eastern Wu army then started to move.
But Lu Su thought very well, can he actually get what he wants?
Not long after the Eastern Wu army started, the Eastern Wu army discovered a unit in front of them, with a big "Zhang" sign.
After Zhang Liao stabilized Fengcheng, he blocked the three cities that he had flattered, leaving a thousand soldiers to guard, and then came out with four thousand soldiers. He knew very well that as the wolf smoke ignited, Lu Su and Guo Jia would definitely take action. All Zhang Liao needed to do was to attack.
If Lu Su retreated, Zhang Liao would block him. If Lu Su and Guo Jia fought together, Zhang Liao would be a surprise soldier.
Obviously, when Zhang Liao came, he happened to block Lu Su's retreat.
"Haha! Lu Su, you have no way to escape! Get off the horse and surrender! I can spare you!" Zhang Liao said with great enthusiasm.
Lu Su narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Press up for me! Kill them all!"
There were more than 20,000 soldiers under Lu Su's command. It was obvious that Zhang Liao had only a few thousand people, so he was not afraid at all.
The Eastern Wu army rushed towards Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao held up his big sword and shouted: "Kill!"
Four thousand Liu Jun rushed towards the Eastern Wu army without hesitation.
A fight began immediately.
After a while, Lu Su's face, who was still confident, changed. He saw a scene that made him very helpless. The Eastern Wu army, which had the advantage of the number, was actually defeated by the 4,000 Liu army led by Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao continued to assault in the Eastern Wu army like a god, and a big knife reaped a lot of lives.
"Why is this happening? Is it so big that the gap between our soldiers and Liu Jun?!" Lu Su's mentality was a little broken.
Chapter completed!
