The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 823 Unexpected Breakthrough
At the beginning of this night battle, for the Shu Han army, the fight was indeed extremely smooth.

The biggest winning factor is that they are ambushing troops, and it is already night, so the light is of course extremely dim.Under the combined effect of these two factors, the soldiers of the new Jiangdong army led by Zhang Cheng must have become extremely flustered, so that the morale of the army fluctuated.

Therefore, from the very beginning, even though Zhu Yi's troops were in the middle of the entire army, there were still a large number of soldiers who did not obey their commands because of panic.

Zhu Yi saw that things were no longer feasible. Even though the last Liuzan troops in the army are the most elite troops in the whole army, their physical strength is also the most exhausted, and their combat effectiveness may have lagged behind his own. Troops up.

What's more serious is that the part of Liuzan's troops is now also attacked by the enemy from behind.Coupled with the appearance of Gaimeng's cavalry raiding from the north, the current situation has become even more critical.

Once Gaimeng's cavalry team is deployed, even fighting at night like this, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, but one thing is very clear, this is a force specially arranged to attack from the flank!Their large number of war horses moved together, even though it was not convenient to move at night, they could all spread out on the side of the battlefield to form an extremely long cross section, completely enclosing the side of the battlefield.At that time, no one will be able to escape from that direction!

Zhu Yi knew that he could no longer control the life and death of Zhang Cheng and Liu Zan. He had to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise if he and Zhang Cheng were captured by the Shu Han army, Zhang Cheng and the others would not necessarily die, but he He and Quan Cong have a deep hatred that cannot be shared, and they will definitely die a horrible death when the time comes.

Therefore, for Zhu Yi, it is no longer a matter of "people do not work for themselves, and heaven and earth destroy". He has absolutely sufficient reasons to do so.Although, he does have a consistent selfishness.

So, after some thought, Zhu Yi resolutely gave up his plan to break out to the north and return to his hometown in Wu County.After all, that is the main attack direction of Gaimeng's cavalry with the most mobility!He could break out, but how far could his exhausted army escape from the pursuit of the cavalry?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yi suddenly showed a look of grief and indignation, but there was a trace of helplessness in the grief and indignation.Because he had already thought of one point, Gai Meng's cavalry might have come from the north, but they were also trying to cut off any possibility of their army going back to Wu County!
Wujun is the base of Zhang Cheng's Jiangdong new army.An army loses its own base, and the consequences are self-evident!

This was why Zhu Yi suddenly felt sad, angry and helpless.

Zhu Yi couldn't help sighing: "Liu Adou's strategy is so vicious that it can't be worse! Back then, even if I didn't think about Jiangdong, but only for myself, I definitely shouldn't let him leave Moling!"

But it was all too late.

However, with the failure ending already doomed, Zhu Yi did not come to the end of the road.To the east is Dazhai and Fuchun County, which has been captured by the Shu Han army. It is an impassable dead end.If you go to the west, you won't be able to go through. All the areas in that direction have already been occupied.

Therefore, what is left for Zhu Yi now is actually only one direction to escape: the south.

In the south, there has never been the baptism of war, and the world is vast.Zhu Yi felt that there might still be room for development.In fact, he didn't have to flee too far to the south at all, he only needed to enter Kuaiji County to get support from families like Yu Fan and Wei Teng.

Although the four big families in Wu County had always looked down on the two big families, Yu Fan and Wei Teng, but now that they were desperate, Zhu Yi had no choice but to seek support from the two families nearby.

Moreover, among the current new army, the latest ones are well prepared and have a certain combat effectiveness. In addition, Zhu Yi's army also has some elite troops composed of children from big families. There is no reason why he cannot break through successfully!
Zhu Yi really dared to think and act, and indeed he was more decisive.He immediately led the army to charge towards the south.

The battle was extremely hard.But after the Zhu family's soldiers fought desperately and paid an extremely heavy price, they finally opened a gap in the encirclement to the south.

At this time, Zhu Yi was no longer calm, and no longer lived in the rear to conduct combat commands as he did during the day.He had already rushed into the enemy army and fought desperately.

Zhu Yi was so dizzy, after all, it was really dark, no matter how many torches there were, the light would not be enough for people to see too far away.Therefore, many places on the battlefield at this time have actually fallen into a state of melee.

Therefore, Zhu Yi couldn't see the gap in the encirclement at all, and finally he got the news after being reminded by his own children.

Zhu Yi was overjoyed when he saw the situation, and immediately withdrew his guards, then turned around and rushed towards the gap.With the protection of the night, Zhu Yi finally broke out of the encirclement.

To the south is the encirclement built by the troops commanded by Deng Ai's deputy general Zhou Tao.

He soon received a report from his soldiers, saying that the encirclement on their side had been broken by the enemy, and the enemy's troops were rushing out of the encirclement.

Zhou Tao never expected that the enemy would break out from the south.Because when they took Dazhai in the east, they had already learned from the captured soldiers that all Zhang Cheng's troops came from Wu County.Therefore, it was precisely in the face of such a situation that Deng Ai asked Gai Meng's cavalry, which had the greatest deterrence, to be arranged in the north.It is used to annihilate the enemy troops breaking through to the north and completely encircle and kill them in the local area.

This may be an unexpected situation in Deng Ai's design tonight.Zhou Tao could only think of this in his heart.

But now is not the time to sigh, he must plug the gap as soon as possible to prevent the enemy troops in the encirclement from continuing to escape.However, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for him to pursue the enemy troops that have already broken out.

So, Zhou Tao immediately took his own guards, and while continuing to gather some people, he headed towards the gap and killed them.

After less than half an hour of fighting, Zhou Tao finally blocked the gap that Zhu Yi's men broke through.

Later, after the war ended, after detailed statistics, Zhu Yi escaped a total of more than 2000 people, and a large part of them were soldiers of the Zhu family.Those people are definitely elite troops, and all of them have rich combat experience.

After Zhu Yi broke through, he led the army to escape to the south for a certain distance, and then suddenly marched to the east.In this way, on the one hand, they can get rid of the enemy's pursuit, after all, they will largely mistakenly think that Zhu Yi's troops will always flee to the south; on the other hand, Kuaiji County is to the east.

Since then, Zhu Yi finally escaped death temporarily.Along the way, he kept shouting in his heart, God bless.
