Chapter 87: Ambush and Surrounding
In a forest outside Jianye City, Zhou Yukun and Lin Zhong led 500 elite soldiers to lurk quietly here.
In short, they rushed for two and a half days before smuggling from the upper reaches of the river, which was half a day faster than expected. After a good rest outside the city for a long time, they began their plan for this trip.
Of course, during the rest half day, they did not do anything, but pretended to be ordinary people and went to the nearby village to find out the news. After running through three villages in a row, they finally found out the route of the enemy's transportation troops from a commoner. According to this person, when he returned from farming, he saw the army on the road in this forest.
Without thinking too much, Zhou Yukun directly led his troops to the forest to hide. Although the opponent's transportation troops would definitely not be too strong in combat, he did not want to fight head-on with the opponent. You should know that they are now deep behind enemy lines. If the soldiers lose too much, there will be no place to supplement him.
At this time, he had been ambushing in the forest for a morning, and Zhou Yukun's patience was almost at the limit. This boring waiting for the rabbit was not his style. If it weren't for better completing the task, he would have wanted to go directly to the other party's nest!
"Uncle Lin, why haven't they come yet? Could it be that they have changed their routes, right?"
Lin Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know either. In short, wait a little longer. If we don't come yet, we will be ready to retreat. It's not a solution to wait like this."
He sighed helplessly, and Zhou Yukun could only continue to endure it. Half an hour passed, and finally heard a sound of the axle creaking in his ears. A ray of light suddenly burst out in his eyes, and he looked at Lin Zhong excitedly.
Lin Zhong also looked happy and made a gesture of silence to Zhou Yukun, and then hid behind the tree trunk more cautiously.
Gradually, the wooden trucks transporting food were getting closer and closer. Zhou Yukun quietly poked his head out and looked at the other party's situation. He saw that Zhu Hongjun's transportation troops were also extremely large. Generally speaking, there were at least two thousand people. Although a small half of them were responsible for taking care of food and had no combat power, the rest of them were also a big number.
The grain transported by the two thousand people was filled with more than a dozen large trucks. Although it seemed to be a large number, after being transported to the front line, 50,000 people would probably be able to eat all in two meals. Therefore, the daily work of these grain transport troops was not easy, and they had to continuously provide food for the front line.
So, if Zhou Yukun's plan to cut off food perfectly succeeded, then the front line may be hungry for a day. So, can these hungry soldiers still go to the battlefield to fight? Of course, the answer is no. Even if they have the courage to go up, they probably don't have the strength to lift weapons.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yukun couldn't help but get excited. The weaker the enemy's attack, the less difficult it will be on his own defense. I believe that with Wei Chu's wisdom, he will definitely come up with a way to turn defeat into victory.
As the enemy's transportation troops slowly advanced, they soon reached the planned area. Zhou Yukun drew out his spear and rushed out from behind the tree, while shouting loudly: "Brothers, get on!"
Zhou Yukun's movement did not hesitate at all. They were all well-trained soldiers, and obeying orders was their instinct. He heard shouts of killing from around him, and many fully armed soldiers killed in front of Zhu Hong's army.
Speaking of which, the soldiers transporting food were not only a group of new recruits, but also a group of new recruits with weak combat power. Otherwise, they would not have been assigned to the transportation troops in the rear by Zhu Hong.
At first, these enemy troops saw that Zhou Yukun had fewer people and even picked up weapons to resist, but as they fought, the gap in the quality of soldiers was reflected. Although the number of soldiers in Zhu Hong's army was large, the two of them could not defeat a single elite under Zhou Yukun. In addition, Zhou Yukun and Lin Zhong joined the battlefield, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, unstoppable!
Not long after, the soldiers threw down their weapons and cried and surrendered.
Zhou Yukun did not kill these surrendered people, but he also knew his current situation and could not imprison them. He could only remove their weapons and let them go.
After they disappeared from sight, Zhou Yukun began to look at the many grain trucks in front of him. To be honest, it was impossible for him to not be moved by such food. After all, what Shouchun City lacks the most now is food. If these can be transported back, it will definitely relieve a lot of pressure.
But before he could speak, Lin Zhong, who was standing by, seemed to see through his thoughts and advised seriously: "Yukun, don't think about it. We can't transport it back. Not to mention the current manpower problem, even the enemy army besieged outside the city will not watch us transport the food back."
"Oh." Sighing helplessly, [31 Novel Network] Zhou Yukun said dejectedly: "Okay, I understand. Burning them all is the most correct choice, it's a pity that so much precious food!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the ground trembling slightly, as if something was gradually approaching. He suddenly raised his head and looked behind him, and saw dust rising from the distance behind him, like an invisible giant beast running wildly.
"No, it's the opponent's cavalry that came, we were exposed!" Zhou Yukun was about to leave from the front, but as soon as he took a few steps, he found that dust was raised in front of him at some point, exactly the same as behind him.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yukun was slightly stunned and suddenly realized. He knew that these troops were not called by the surrendered soldiers, and must have been prepared to ambush him and wanted to capture all his men.
Not daring to hesitate, Zhou Yukun could only make up his mind and ignite the food truck, and then hurriedly led all the soldiers to rush in one direction. Since the other party dared to ambush him, the number of people must be greater than that of him, and the other party's cavalry would also restrain his infantry. If the other party waited for the other party to close the encirclement, he would really have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.
Not long after running, Zhou Yukun saw a group of cavalry appearing in front of him. Although the number is large, it is scattered horizontally. He obviously wanted to surround them in a circle. He turned to look at Lin Zhong and said solemnly: "Uncle Lin, let's fight the vanguard and make a breakthrough!"
Without waiting for Lin Zhong to answer, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill people! Take the horse!" After that, he shook his spear and rushed out first.
Lin Zhong was dissatisfied with the reaction, raised his long-handled sledgehammer and followed Zhou Yukun. With the two of them leading the charge, the other soldiers were also in a high spirit of fighting, and they all roared and picked up their weapons, and rushed towards the cavalry without fear.
Logically speaking, cavalry and infantry fight head-on are almost a sure victory. It is very likely that the infantry team will be killed in a mess once the cavalry charges. But this time it is different. The two powerful star selectors, Zhou Yukun and Lin Zhong, are standing in front of the infantry.
Especially Lin Zhong, perhaps in terms of single-handed fights, he and Zhou Yukun are only playing 50% of the game, but when it comes to group battles, Zhou Yukun can't catch up with Lin Zhong, after all, the advantage of weapons is there!
