Four hundred and eighty-one chapters Five thousand Han troops, ten can save one call?
In Honghuagang, a fight is going on fiercely.
The sturdy gate of the Han army had been annihilated by the purple sea, and Yun Zheng stood on the front line. The command of the army was completely handed over to Li Xian. Yun Zheng, with more than a hundred personal guards behind him, stood like a huge hard reef.
In the vast ocean where Zhou soldiers gathered, I allowed the rapids to reverberate, and I remained unmoved.
A war knife flew up and down, and all the Zhou soldiers who rushed towards him were killed on the spot. There was no command, no slogans, only hard work without regard for one's own safety, and only setting an example. Until now, Yun Zheng could only use his own example to inspire the remaining soldiers in the front.
All soldiers.
There were only about two thousand generals left in the entire Han army camp. In a county town seventy miles away from the battlefield, a county town in the Han border, five thousand Han soldiers who had returned from Honghuagang were seizing the time to build each camp.
Fortifications.
The Zhou army stormed Honghuagang. This was what Yunzheng and Li Xian wanted. But they soon discovered that the newly established Honghuagang Han camp was too crude and could not withstand the Zhou army's turbulent attack.
Even if all 10,000 troops are deployed here, it will be difficult to survive for ten days. But in Yuzhou, can Zhu Biao defeat 40,000 Zhou soldiers within ten days? Counting the journey back and forth, the order issued by Peiping will be extremely long.
After half a month.
Just past Honghuagang, where Quzhou is the junction of Han and Zhongshan, there is no suitable geographical terrain to block it. Yunzheng and Li Xiansi went back and forth, feeling that the only thing that could serve as a barrier was the city. How to block it?
It was not difficult for Yun Zheng and Li Xian to attract Zhou Jun to the city they had arranged.
As long as they can arouse the anger of the Zhou army, as long as they can kill and injure the Zhou army in large numbers, Chen Shiju can't help but chase them!
After all, the fire in Sanshi County had already burned the Zhou army to shame. If Chen Shiju abandoned the cloud and Li Er would ignore it and take Guangyang City, it would be tactically correct of course, but in terms of reputation, it would be different from the reputation of the world.
In the eyes, it was greatly detrimental to Zhou Jun's image.
When the Celestial Empire acts in the country, it must behave like a boss. China on Earth wants face, and the dynasty of the Central Plains also cares about face. Even worse. After all, the Central Plains army has not appeared in Beiyu for many years.
, it would be too embarrassing if I was refuted.
Therefore, on the night of the first day after the war, the five thousand Han troops withdrew northward overnight and chose the first county on the border, which had no danger to speak of, as the second battlefield for the two armies to fight.
Yun Zheng and Li Xian thought they could last four days, but today was the third day and they felt like they couldn't do it anymore.
There were only a few elite guards in the Zhou army, but the Zhongshan Kingdom dispatched a large number of them. Under their attack, the Honghuagang Han camp was in crisis on the second day, and on the third day, the gates and fences were shut down not long after the attack started.
Totally destroyed.
In the ensuing battle with swords and guns, Chen Shiju, who had a huge advantage in military strength, could kill all the Han troops in the camp by just doing the simplest of random moves into battle.
It was getting dark! The Han army in the camp was pushed to the rear camp, and the purple Zhou army overflowed the Chinese army's tent.
"Hurry up -" Li Xian grabbed Yun Zheng and shouted loudly, which made Yun Zheng, who was covered in blood and filled with murderous intent, wake up. He looked up at the camp and saw that the Zhou army had occupied most of the camp, illuminated by little fires.
In this territory, the Han army was only left to survive.
It’s time to leave. If you don’t leave, you won’t be able to leave!
Of the 5,000 Han troops, only 700 or 800 escaped from the camp alive. They abandoned their helmets and armor and ran to the north. Their level was no better than that of the Zhou soldiers after the defeat in Sanshi County!
Therefore, there is a difference between escaping and defeat. Although the latter is defeated, it is like a wounded beast and still has the power to bite people. This is the reason why it is better to avoid chasing the enemy than to pursue it. However, the former has no ability to defend itself at all.
He had no choice but to throw away all the burdens and run for his life. Fortunately, both the generals and deputy generals of the Han army were there. The soldiers did not disperse after receiving the order to retreat, but gathered around Yun Zheng. General Li Xianer fled north.
Zheng Zaima was heartbroken as he watched. Only one out of five thousand soldiers in this battle survived and reached the rear...
"General, be careful-" Yun Zheng, who was immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly heard an exclamation in his ears, his voice full of shock and anxiety! "What's going on...?" Yun Zheng raised his head...
At five o'clock the cold stars came calling!
The back hill of red granite.
As night fell, the sound of fighting in the camp was still particularly loud. The Zhou army, with high morale, launched a more violent and urgent attack on the remnants of the retreating Han army!
If you can wipe out all the enemy forces, no one will want to leave anything behind.
On the back mountain trail, as on the previous two days, at least twenty scout teams closely monitored every move on the back road of the Han camp. Since the five thousand Han troops retreated overnight, Chen Shiju had arranged this measure. They quietly
Sneak silently from the west side of the mountain to here, and then either lie in ambush nearby, or sneak to the north, come quietly, and then go quietly again during the rotation...
"Leader, the Han army has come out -" At a lush pine tree more than 200 steps away from the back of the Han camp, five Zhou army scouts more than ten feet away were observing the front with wide eyes.
They did not dare to relax in every move. They knew that if nothing unexpected happened today, it would be the time for the Zhou army to capture Honghuagang.
A person hiding in the canopy of the pine tree suddenly shouted in a low voice to another person behind the stone under the tree.
The team leader immediately withdrew his gaze on the opposite side. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the chirping of insects on the opposite side suddenly became louder. But this doubt was worthless compared with the movements of the Han army.
Mentioned. Looking forward, I saw that the originally closed gate of Houzhai had been opened at this moment, and a raging fire was burning over the Han camp. The Han army was setting fire to the rear, and the remnants of the Han army were holding torches and moving quickly.
Break out of the camp...
"Chirp chirp, chirp chirp..." Looking at the remnants of the Han army who were quickly escaping towards him, the team leader let out a cricket sound in a very realistic way. Immediately, four scouts gathered around him on the pine tree, on the left and right.
"Is that the Han general named Yun?" Looking at the Han general covered in blood surrounded by torches, the team leader couldn't help but murmur in a low voice. He then carefully looked at the weapon in the Han general's hand.
There was a loud bang in his heart.
A broadsword, this is the weapon of Han army general Yun Zheng.
Uncontrollable excitement arose in the hearts of the Zhou army leaders. "Attention, everyone is here, everyone is paying attention, aim at the Han general who is behind..."
As he spoke, he strung up a hand crossbow in his hand. Compared with the powerful crossbows on the battlefield, the hand crossbow's range and power are obviously much smaller, but it is also smaller and more suitable for scouts, right?
Compared with the scouts of the Han army, the Zhou army's armaments are much stronger. It must be understood that the proportion of powerful crossbows deployed by the main force of the Han army is declining, not to mention the more sophisticated and expensive hand crossbows!
Now it depends on whether you are lucky or not! The team leader took a deep breath and said, "I aimed it all..." He held the crossbow flat and took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart.
As long as this deal is completed, then in the future I will be Uncle Du, or a fake Sima!
Fame and wealth are so touching that no one can let go of them.
The distance is getting closer and closer, fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps... we are about to enter twenty steps! The sound of the word "put -" is still gestating in the mouth of the team leader. Before it is spoken, the team leader is about to enter.
I was surprised to see that Yunzheng, who seemed to be sinking, suddenly made a move. The sword in his hand was raised to protect his chest like lightning. In a vague way, the Zhou army leaders seemed to see two subtle traces.
A small black shadow flew out from Yun Zheng's chest, and then Yun Zheng's body seemed to be shaken on the horse's back, and then he was already crawling on the horse's back...
"Someone has taken the lead -" In an instant, the leader of the team reflected. This was obviously someone who had taken a step earlier. He seemed to consciously feel that the 'opponent' was on the opposite side, which was what made the insects in the grass on the opposite side suddenly chirp.
The person who made a loud noise.
"Alas -" Lowering the hand crossbow in his hand, the team leader felt infinite remorse and remorse in his heart. After reacting, the Han army had already surrounded Yunzheng, and even more people were rushing towards the opposite side at a fast speed!
The team leader was lying tightly in the grass, motionless. The four people around him were also lying tightly like stones.
It wasn't until the Han army had gone more than a hundred steps away that the leader became angry and punched the grass hard with hatred.
The exclamation in his ears woke up Yun Zheng who was deep in thought. He looked up and saw that Hanxing had already flown in front of his eyes. He reflexively raised his sword to protect his chest, and without a second thought, he knocked two swords away and turned around.
Another one is avoided, but the remaining two cannot be avoided no matter what.
Two crossbow arrows, one pierced in the waist and one in the chest!
Even though Yun Zheng was wearing the most sophisticated Mingguang armor of the Northern Han Dynasty, two crossbow arrows could penetrate the armor. The severe pain made Yun Zheng almost turn over and fall off his horse.
"Kill them -" Li Xian raised his three-pointed two-edged sword and pointed in the direction of the crossbow arrow. The few soldiers around him immediately came out quickly...
"General, general—" A wall of people immediately formed around Yun Zheng, and the surrounding soldiers looked nervous and regretful.
Yun Zheng took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead when he turned his face, "It's okay, he's not dead yet!"
He knew his own body, and Yun Zheng felt that although the two arrows penetrated deeply into his flesh, they were still far away from killing him.
"Put out the torches and walk in the dark -" Li Xian shouted. Expanding the search range on the way forward was impossible given the Han army's current situation. All that could be done was to extinguish the torches and reduce the exposure of the target.
"Yes! Let's do the humble job right now." An officer responded.
"Put out the torch and walk forward in the dark——"
"Put out the torch and walk forward in the dark——"
Following the call to extinguish the torches, hundreds of torches in the entire Han army were extinguished in a matter of seconds. The originally bright marching column was also shrouded in darkness in this short period of time. (To be continued. Please search Gone with the Wind.
