Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 369 The Forced Decisive Battle

In fact, Zhang Er's strategy and command in front of the battle are very good. Seeing that the Han army commando discovered his plan to lure the enemy too early, there was no way to trap the front of the Han army in the urn to catch turtles, so he resolutely gave up using the urn to wipe out part of the Han army. According to the original plan, he immediately sent a signal to urge the ambush to attack the Han army outside the city.

In order to try to kill the Han army by surprise, Zhang Er didn't even ask anyone to put down the thousand-jin gate, so as not to block the road after the thousand-jin gate landed and delay the fighter plane. He would rather give the Han army commando a chance to escape from Urn City than waste an attack time.

So far, assuming that the Han army outside the city has not prepared in advance, or the preparation is slightly insufficient, the sudden ambush of the Zhao army can at least kill the front team of the Han army by surprise, and hit the morale of the Han army. Attacking from behind, under the attack from front and back, it is difficult for the Han army outside the city not to suffer a big loss!

But there is no way to disappoint Zhang Er, Zhang Xiang and the generals of the Zhao army, but the Han army outside the city has been prepared, and even concluded that the so-called opening the door to offer the city is just a false surrender, so...

"Kill! Kill——!"

Roaring excitedly, the long-prepared Zhao army ambushed soldiers in the city like a rainbow, and quickly rushed into the urn city, and then followed the Han army commandos to rush to the gate of the urn city, and rushed to the outside of the city. It should have been a mess The generals and soldiers of the Han army, however, the Zhao army's ambush had just rushed out of the city and hadn't been able to rush to the bridge on the moat. They immediately realized that something was wrong. The dense feather arrows greeted them like a storm. The army officers and soldiers were caught off guard, and were immediately shot by countless feather arrows, and there were endless screams.

Not only that, the light was dim in the dark night, and the line of sight was blocked by the city wall. The soldiers of the Zhao army who came from behind could not see the situation ahead at all. He urged his companions to rush out of the city to fight, and the soldiers of the Zhao army in front turned around and ran for their lives. Naturally, more soldiers were killed and injured by the arrows. In the blink of an eye, dozens of brave soldiers of the Zhao army died innocently under the crossbows of the Han army. Below, the number of wounded is even higher.

At the same time, the generals of the Zhao army on the city wall were of course shooting arrows to cover them, but the enemy was hidden from view, and the position of the generals of the Han army could not be seen in the dark. Most of the feathered arrows shot on the city wall fell into the air. There is not much suppression effect, and the soldiers of the Han army don't need to aim at all, just shoot the arrows at the city gate. With a small cry, he retreated to the city gate corridor, and closed the city gate by himself to block the arrows.

Seeing this scene in the city, Zhang Er was so angry that he hammered the wall and yelled, "Send an order to the troops below, telling them to rush out at any cost. We must fight the truth and the traitors, and we must not let our troops outside the city come out." Fight alone!"

When the order was conveyed to the city, the general of the Zhao army who led the attack had no choice but to hastily adjust the formation, let the shield hand move forward, and opened the door again to charge outside the city. However, the arrows of the Han army were dense and continuous. A lot of bows and arrows were crossed from the left and right wings, so that the shields of Zhao Jun's soldiers could block the east but not the west, and the casualties were still very heavy. At the same time, even if they barely rushed to the bridge on the moat, they would only attract more bows and crossbows. , Few soldiers can really rush through the moat to fight with the Han soldiers.

After a little delay, Zhao Jun, who was ambushing in the north, had already rushed to the back of the Han army. As a result, Zhao Jun and Zhang Er were dismayed together. With the loud noise of a primitive grenade explosion, the dark wilderness outside the city At the same time, in the northeast and northwest corners of Julu City, countless torches were suddenly lit, shouting one left and one right to the outside of the city. Zhao Jun ambushed and killed.

"It's been tricked!" Zhang Er's face was pale as paper, and regardless of whether Zhao Jun outside the city could hear it, he immediately shouted frantically, "Run! Run! Don't be surrounded by Han thieves!" !"

want to run?It would be nice if it was that easy!
Roaring excitedly, Zhong Limei personally led the Han army to charge from the front, and killed the enemies coming from the south head-on. The carefully selected elite soldiers are also at a loss in the face of such a situation, and the army is in a mess.

To make matters worse, the general of the Zhao army who led the ambush outside the city, Su Zhen, still made a wrong choice at a critical moment. He felt that if he turned around and fled north, he would be directly defeated by the Han army, and the casualties would be even more serious. It would be better to continue forward , rushed directly into the Julu City to escape, and relying on the fact that the soldiers under his command are the main soldiers and their combat effectiveness is reliable, he decisively ordered: "Continue to charge, and kill a bloody road back to the city!"

As a result, the Han army and the Zhao army unexpectedly ushered in a decisive battle in the true sense. The soldiers on both sides of the war were elite soldiers, and they were the absolute main force of the Han army and the Zhao army. Both are decisive forces that will not be used until the last moment, but at this moment, the two sides are facing each other head-to-head, fighting a decisive battle in the wild that is either death or life.

As a result, the battle became extremely fierce. As soon as the two armies engaged in the battle, spears and swords were intertwined, blood was splashed everywhere, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Greetings, countless soldiers in the forest of knives, mountains and spears are fighting each other, spears and swords continue to pierce the human body, knives and axes cut off human heads and arms one after another, the murderer is killed immediately, and the fallen is immediately trampled to death by chaotic footsteps, Soldiers are falling every moment and every second.

Not to mention, Zhao Jun's ambushes who charged southward relied on their local strength advantages, and once gained the upper hand, beating the Han army Zhongli Mei's troops who had to leave the rear army to block the city gate until they were out of breath. After the ambushes of the Han army joined the battlefield one after another, the situation suddenly reversed. The superior Han army counterattacked in an all-round way.

During this period, seeing his own army ambushing soldiers charging towards the city gate, Zhang Er immediately understood that his army wanted to break through and return to the city. Forced to do so, Zhang Er could only grit his teeth and order the defenders in the city to step out of the city at any cost. Attack the Han army outside the city, respond to the ambush outside the city and return to the city.As a result, relying on the full charge of the front and back, after paying a very heavy price, the Zhao army in the city really rushed through the moat against the rain of arrows from the Han army, and got the opportunity to fight close to the Han army soldiers, but the Han army was helpless. Having been prepared for a long time, he immediately shouted and fought head-on, met the enemy who left the city head-on, and started a fierce battle with Zhao Jun beside the moat.

As a result, the scale of the battle was further expanded. The [-] Han soldiers were divided into four teams, three of which attacked the Zhao army outside the city from three sides, and one team was responsible for blocking the enemy from leaving the city. The entire battlefield is full of blood and flesh, the forest of knives and spears, the fierce battle is fierce, and the shouts of killing soaring into the sky converge into a stream, straight into the sky.

It was at this time that the general of the Zhao army, Su Tan, who was in charge of the Zhao army outside the city, gradually realized that something was wrong. The soldiers of the self-soldiers were clearly the main force soldiers, elite and strong soldiers, and they charged fiercely and bravely, but they couldn't break through the enemy The block back to the city?On the contrary, he was killed by the enemy and retreated again and again, and the position continued to shrink?
"Could it be that when I meet enemies, they are all the main soldiers of the Han bandits?"

After finally reaching this correct conclusion, Su Zhen couldn't help but start to panic, and had to think about whether to break through to the north, but at this moment, something happened that made Su Zhen lose his soul, and suddenly there was another attack from the west of the battlefield. There was the sound of rumbling horseshoes, and at the same time, the direction was still full of flames, obviously a large number of cavalry were charging to kill!
"We don't have so many cavalry, it must be the cavalry of the traitors! It's over! Now we can't run away!"

Immediately after coming to this conclusion, Su Zhen didn't even have the courage to escape - ordering a retreat at this time would definitely lead to a complete collapse of the army. Can't even run away from the Han cavalry!Therefore, Su Zhen has no choice. No matter how unfavorable the situation is, no matter how bleak the hope is, Su Zhen can only kick his horse, lead the army to charge again, and shout with blood red eyes: "Kill! Kill and disperse the front!" The thieves are taking my way of life!"

No matter how much you shouted, it was useless. At this time, the Zhao army outside the city was not only unable to charge, but was severely compressed by the Han army from three sides. The Han army cavalry who arrived afterward were extremely cunning. When they arrived near the battlefield, they just observed After checking the situation on the battlefield, half of the cavalry was sent back to the north of the battlefield, and charged behind the Zhao army outside the city. Zhao army was surrounded by enemies, and it was even more difficult to parry. From the encirclement circle of the Han army, the army is like a snowball in the sun, constantly melting and shrinking.

Seeing such a scene in the city, even Zhang Er, who is considered an old sparrow on the battlefield, was completely panicked, and he knew very well that the troops trapped outside the city were all elite soldiers, the core backbone of the main force of the Zhao army, Once it is wiped out, the overall strength of Zhao's main force will be weakened by more than half, so Zhang Er gritted his teeth and ordered the defenders in the city to dispatch [-] troops to attack from the east gate and go north to meet the trapped main force elite!
"Enxiang, are you crazy?!" Wei Wuzhi, chief of staff, said disrespectful words in front of Zhang Er for the first time, and exclaimed, "There are only [-] troops in Julu City, and [-] troops have already left the city through the north gate." , and send [-] troops from the east gate, if there is any mistake, how will we fight the next defense battle?"

"I can't care about that much anymore!" Zhang Er yelled with a livid face, "Our elites are all outside the city. If we can't save them, our main force will be completely finished! Things have come to this point, we can only take a gamble Already!"

After pushing away Wei Wuzhi, Zhang Er repeated the order again, and let his personal soldiers fly to the east of the city to deliver the order. Fortunately, all the Zhao army troops in the city had already assembled and waited for orders. Ludongmen, strode out of the city to gather, and then went north to reinforce the trapped Zhao army's elite troops.

Zhang Er should definitely regret his impulsive decision, because the cavalry of the Han army who went north before were extremely cunning, and did not put all their troops into the battlefield to participate in the battle, but left half of their troops on the periphery of the battlefield as a precaution. After leaving the city and heading north, Guan Ying, who was in charge of the rear cavalry of the Han army, just made some calculations and immediately ordered: "Attack, we must not let Zhao's bandits rescue their surrounded bandits!"

What's worse, at the same time, the main camp of the Han army, because it has been confirmed that there are a large number of enemies on the battlefield at the North Gate, in order to prevent any eventuality, the main force of the Han army not only got up to prepare for the battle, but the general of the Han army, Gongsun Tong, also went to the camp early. Lead ten thousand troops out of the camp and gather in front of the camp to wait for orders.After receiving the scout report from the Julu defenders leaving the city from the east gate, Li Zuoche was so excited that he punched falsely, and hurriedly said to Zheng Bu: "General Zheng, the treacherous Zhang Er has jumped the wall in a hurry. Fighting opportunities are rare. Our The rear army should immediately go north to join the battle, and take the opportunity to wipe out all the enemies outside the city outside Julu City!"

"Give Gongsun Tong the order to send troops northward to attack the bandit troops of Zhao State who are leaving the city from the east gate!" Zheng Bu gave the order without batting an eyelid, and then shouted, "Ni Ji, Fang Ziqian, you two, Take [-] troops each to the north, one is in charge of the south gate of Julu and the other is in charge of the west gate of Julu. Be sure to block the way back to the city for Zhao's bandit army! If the main force of Zhao's bandit army escapes back to the city, the two of you Bring me a death squad to fight against ants!"

After shouting, Zheng Bu not only sent another [-] troops to the North Gate Battlefield, but also ordered more Han soldiers to go out of the camp to assemble, and personally lead the rear army as the general reserve team. He wanted to seize this opportunity with red eyes. , Completely wiped out the enemy's army outside the city.

All kinds of mistakes, combined with Zhang Er's eagerness to jump over the wall to add fuel, should have been just a medium-scale ambush that was not sure that it could be fought, but unexpectedly turned into a battle between the main force of the Han army on the southern front and the elite troops of the Zhao army. The all-out decisive battle of the main force of the Julu defenders was also a full-scale decisive battle that neither side had expected in advance. The various ministries of the Han army rushed to their respective battlefields to participate in the battle. , Dare not to break through in other directions, can only rush to the gate of Julu City with all its strength, Zhao Jun, who hurried out of the city, desperately responded, and fought with the Han army in the northern and eastern suburbs of Julu.

At this moment, the strength advantage of the Han army was finally brought into full play. No matter on which battlefield, the Han army had the most absolute strength advantage, and it happened to surround the enemy's elite main force with elite troops. Zhan Qiang did not suffer any losses, and surrounded the trapped Zhao army elite like an iron barrel. At the same time, the blows from all directions made the Zhao army soldiers breathless, and the number of casualties rose one after another. , the number of troops continued to decrease, and the rear of the Han army rushed to reinforcements again, and the trapped Zhao army had no hope or opportunity to break out of the siege on its own.

Near the side of this battlefield, the Julu defenders who left the city from the north gate were also defeated by the high-morale Han army. While suffering heavy casualties, they were forced to retreat to the bridge of the moat. It is possible to flee back to the city in a rout.

In the northeast corner of Julu City, the Julu garrison who left the city and headed north once had a short-term advantage in strength, but in front of the elite cavalry of the Han army who dismounted and fought, the Julu garrison who was slightly inferior in combat power still could not get any sweetness. However, several times the charge was resolutely repulsed by the Han cavalry, and when Gongsun Tong led the Han infantry brigade to the reinforcements, the Julu defenders immediately fell into a comprehensive disadvantage, and were flanked by the Han cavalry. Ghosts were crying and wolves were howling, corpses were all over the ground, and soldiers kept fleeing.

When the sky was about to dawn, the Julu defenders who left the city from the east gate collapsed first. The soldiers jumped into the moat and swam across the river to escape. Countless people surrendered. Wen Gong, the general of the Julu defenders who led the attack was captured alive by the Han army .

Immediately afterwards, the Julu defenders who attacked from the north gate also fled back to the city. The Han army took advantage of the victory and chased them into Wengcheng. If the defenders hadn't immediately lowered the thousand-jin gate to cut off the road, the Zhao army would have suffered even more losses when they left the city. Even so, only [-] of the [-] Julu defenders who went out of the city to meet them managed to escape back to the city.

The worst thing was the elite troops of the Zhao army surrounded by the Han army. When the sky was full, the Zhao army surrounded by the Han army had less than a thousand soldiers left, and there was no hope of breaking through. In front of the eyes, it is still so close.Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through the encirclement at last, the general of the Zhao army, Su Tan, could only commit suicide and apologize, and the remaining soldiers of the Zhao army also put down their weapons and surrendered one after another. Of the [-] elite soldiers, only a few hundred escaped from the battlefield in the scuffle.

Seeing the tragic scene of the elite Zhao army being completely wiped out by the Han army on the city wall, Prime Minister Zhao Zhang Er, who actually controls the military and political power of Zhao Guo, seemed to be in a daze. He remained motionless for a long time. Reeling, he fell directly on the wall, his face was like gold paper, and he passed out directly.

After that, everyone was pinching people and rubbing their chests. After a lot of effort to wake up Zhang Er, Zhang Er grabbed Wei Wuzhi's hand again, and said in a weak and difficult voice: "Quick, come to Xi!" Zhou Yin, the great Sima of Chu, wrote a letter to tell him the situation, asking him to come back quickly to save the Julu, otherwise the Julu will be finished. If the Julu is finished, if no one supplies him with food, then he will also be finished.”

Butterflies in the Amazon jungle, this is also the real reason why Zhou Yin and Xiang Sui suddenly decided to start an all-out decisive battle with the main force of the Han army on the northern front at the Sishui battlefield. The first line of the Han army got in touch, knowing that the situation on the Julu battlefield was already extremely beneficial to the Han army, so with Uncle Zhou's treachery, he would definitely fight the Chuji coalition forces to the end, and wait patiently for the Chuji coalition forces to be forced to cross the Sishui south. Attack!
So after receiving Zhang Er's urgent letter, Zhou Yin and Xiang Sui had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that Uncle Zhou hadn't had time to get in touch with the Han army on the southern line, and quickly seized the Han army on the northern line to take the initiative to make an appointment. Taking the opportunity to take the risk to fight a decisive battle on the northern front with Uncle Zhou!
Contrary to the dejected and desperate Zhao Jun, the Han army team after the victory was of course bursting with cheers, and there were joyful Han army soldiers everywhere outside Julu City, either carrying the enemy's head that had been chopped off on the battlefield, or Escorting the captured prisoners of the Zhao army, they returned to the camp triumphantly with a smile on their face. The coach of the Han army, Zheng Bu, even laughed out loud outside the Han army camp, dancing like he had won a big prize—strictly speaking, he had indeed won a big prize.

But even so, there are still many Han army scouts going out to scout around to prevent the sudden arrival of the enemy. During this period, the Han army scouts who went east to the sand dune platform to explore the enemy's situation accidentally met a The knight on the galloping horse...

Although the knight was wearing a civilian uniform, he was carrying a weapon, had blood on his body, and was riding a horse that was more expensive than gold during the war. Of course, the Han army scouts wanted to stop him for questioning, but after being stopped by the Han army scouts , the knight looked at the scouts of the Han army vigilantly, and asked in a very hoarse voice: "Which army are you soldiers?"

"Soldier of the King of Han, where did you come from? Don't be afraid, as long as you don't mess around, I'll just search your body at most, and I won't do anything to you..."

To the surprise of the Han army scout blocking the way, before he finished speaking, the knight fell off his horse. When the Han army scout hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward cautiously, the knight struggled to take out a bloody letter from his arms. , moaning and said: "Quick, please give this to your general, quick, go save us...."

Insisting on finishing the sentence, the knight whose physical strength and spirit had reached the extreme tilted his head and passed out immediately. The scouts of the Han army stepped forward to take the letter in his hand suspiciously. When he opened it, he saw the letter It didn't look up, and it didn't specify who it was given to, but it was inscribed with four words - Han general Feng Zhong!
