Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 424: Heavy damage to the enemy! (Thanks to readers 1814…2368 for the two monthly tickets~)

"Ahhh-"

The screams of countless soldiers rang out instantly.

Fortunately, Ding Feng was not standing at the front of the team, and the soldiers in front absorbed all the damage for him.

However, Ding Feng's reaction was also extremely quick. He immediately understood the enemy's intention and ordered the soldiers to raise their shields to block the arrows!

After a while, the screams from our side gradually disappeared.

The enemy soldiers also realized that their bows and arrows had lost their effectiveness, so they retreated.

Ding Feng did not dare to pursue them rashly, and immediately ordered his soldiers to send the wounded and dead comrades to the rear.

After dealing with everything, I continued to grope forward carefully...

The last one is the troops led by Hu Du.

He was quite familiar with Zhuti City, so he didn't need the common people to lead the way.

At this moment, he was also chasing a group of enemy troops and soon came to the depths of an alley.

However, at this moment, Hu Du suddenly noticed that there was a layer of straw on the ground in front of him.

He keenly sensed the danger and immediately ordered the soldiers to stop.

Then he asked the soldiers in the front row to hold up their shields in their left hands and use their spears to poke the ground in front of them.

Not long after, the spears of the soldiers in the front row suddenly stabbed into the ground!

The soldier immediately stopped and picked up the straw in front of him, and sure enough, he found a deep pit trap!

The deep pit is filled with sharp spears, and it is difficult for anyone who falls into it to survive!
The commander's sharpness saved their lives!
At this moment, the defenders led by Gao Dingyuan and Yong Kai were constantly retreating to the west of the city.

They really couldn't understand it, as they had clearly set up a tight net in the city.

Why the enemy can either actively avoid it or respond in time.

It was as if they were very familiar with the terrain of this city...

At this time, their soldiers suddenly told them that they saw ordinary people from the city among the enemy soldiers!
Yong Kai and the other two then realized that it was the people in the city who were leading the enemy!
Yong Kai was immediately furious:

"This bunch of traitorous bastards! Without me protecting them, they would have been refugees long ago. Now they dare to help the enemy?

"Once I have defeated the enemy, I will make these unruly people regret their decision!"

Gao Dingyuan, who was standing by, sighed secretly when he heard this.

If you hadn't forced the people to rebel, how could they be willing to help the enemy?

The current situation is clearly your own fault!
But even though he was complaining in his heart, he didn't dare to say much, and could only advise:

“Although the street fighting was not as smooth as we had imagined, we did manage to eliminate some of the enemy forces.

"Keep holding on, maybe the enemy will give up."

After hearing this, Yong Kai had no other choice.

If they cannot use the preparations in the city to drive the enemy out, then they will be the only ones to be driven out.

At this moment, the number of troops on their side had been gradually reduced to 42,000 from 57,000 at the beginning by the enemy.

There are still quite a few people here, so we should be able to hold out for a while.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After listening to the reports from the armies of Ding Feng, Yan Yan and Hu Du, Lu Bu learned that except for Ding Feng's army, the attacks of the other two armies were quite successful.

Of course, Lu Bu didn’t think this was a problem of Ding Feng’s ability.

When it comes to close combat, Ding Feng is definitely superior to Yan Yan and Hu Du.

But in this strange city, I don’t know what kind of traps the enemy will set.

It's normal to get frustrated occasionally.

After some statistics, the total losses of the three armies were more than 4,000 troops.

Among them, Yan Yan and Hu Du had more than a thousand people each, and the rest were losses on Ding Feng's side. Overall, it was still acceptable.

Although he hoped to minimize the casualties of soldiers, it was inevitable that there would be casualties in such an away battle.

The only thing he could do was to send those wounded soldiers who did not die immediately back to be rescued by military doctors as soon as possible.

This can also reduce the mortality rate to a certain extent...

This street fighting in the city was not as easy as imagined.

It lasted from early morning till late evening and never ended.

Fortunately, Lu Bu's army has steadily advanced the occupied area.

It has occupied nearly two-thirds of the city's area.

The remaining troops of Yong Kai were still resisting stubbornly with the help of traps in the city.

However, Yong Kai's losses were always much greater than Lu Bu's army. After a day of consumption, only 11,000 people were left.

On Lu Bu's side, there are still 67,000 people left.

At this moment, near the west city gate.

Yong Kai was already sitting on the ground exhausted.

He didn't sleep last night, and was forced to command soldiers in battle all day today.

I feel like I could die suddenly at any time!

At this moment, he had no intention of fighting.

Not to mention driving the enemy out of Zhuti City, he now wants to get away from Zhuti City and find a safe place to have a good sleep!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately told Gao Dingyuan the order to retreat.

Gao Dingyuan was also exhausted at this moment.

After all, he was the only one commanding the battle, while Yong Kai had been hiding in the back and being lazy.

But there was nothing he could do about it, since the other party was his lord.

At this moment, the other party ordered a retreat, which was exactly what he wanted.

However, the enemy is still attacking. If they withdraw rashly, they will most likely be pursued frantically by the enemy.

We have to think of a way to prevent the enemy from catching up...

After thinking for a moment, Gao Dingyuan immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare many flags and plant them at the exits of each alley.

Then he ordered the soldiers to quietly withdraw from the alley.

When the enemy sees their military flags, they will surely become suspicious and dare not advance.

This will buy them enough time to retreat safely!
the other side.

Yong Kai's army was the first to break through the numerous traps set by the enemy and arrived at the exit of the last alley.

Looking at the enemy flag planted at the entrance of the alley, the soldiers became suspicious and dared not move forward.

They were afraid that there was another ambush waiting for them outside the alley.

However, Hu Du looked at the flag fluttering in the wind and immediately concluded that the enemy had withdrawn:
“If there was a large army outside the alley, the evening breeze wouldn’t be blowing so wildly.

"The enemy must have retreated, so the alley was quite empty, and there was even a faint whistle...

"If we can catch up quickly, we can inflict heavy damage on the enemy!"

As he spoke, Hu Du rushed towards the enemy's flag and cut it off with one knife!
And the fact was just as Hu Du had expected, the alley was empty and there was no enemy at all!

However, we can see enemy troops fleeing towards the city gate!

Hu Du did not say anything and immediately led the army to continue chasing the enemy.

At the same time, he ordered someone to tell Lu Bu in the rear to lead the cavalry to intercept the river in the southwest direction, and there was a high probability of gaining something!
