Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 417 Battle of the Lujiang River (7)

"Wen Yuan!" "General Zhang!"

Two exclamations came from the direction of the city. Zhang Liao stabbed a Jingzhou army in the head with a single shot. When he turned his head, he saw Wen Chou and Ling Tong leading a group of Yangzhou soldiers running towards him.Ling Tong's body was covered with blood.In order to let Guo Jia escape, Ling Tong first went through a hard fight with Huang Zhong in the situation of fighting to the death, and then was besieged by Huang Zhong's men, which led to the delay in fighting at Ximen in the future.And the dead soldiers behind Ling Tong also suffered more than half of their casualties.Although Wen Chou and Zhang Liao were both in the west gate, they were separated by the Jingzhou army. They met only after Zhang Liao led the army to break through.At this moment, he was holding a head in his hand, although he couldn't see the face of the head clearly, but it should be the head of some Jingzhou army soldier who met Wen Chou.

With the addition of Wen Chou and Ling Tong and the hundreds of Yangzhou troops they brought, Zhang Liao's side felt a lot easier. The two armies double-teamed back and forth, but turned the momentum around again.However, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were not in a hurry. Now that the Jingzhou army commanded by Zhuge Liang outside the city had already occupied the top of the city, the army would continue to rush into the city. This Lujiang City was destined to be breached!
So seeing that the Yangzhou army was gradually gaining the upper hand, Huang Zhong waved his hand, but he and Wei Yan commanded the soldiers of the Jingzhou army to gradually retreat towards the city wall.Right now there is no point in fighting these Yangzhou troops. You must know that their subordinates are all the elite of the Jingzhou army. Try to minimize the sacrifice of these elite soldiers, so that you can explain to Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei when the time comes.

The withdrawal of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan also allowed Zhang Liao, Wen Chou, and Ling Tong to reunite smoothly.When he arrived at Zhang Liao's side, Wen Chou immediately asked, "Wen Yuan! I've been staring at you before, how are you? Are you not injured?"

Zhang Liao waved his hand. At this moment, Guo Jia came to Zhang Liao and the others under the protection of the soldiers. Ling Tong said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Guo! This subordinate has let the master down. Instead of holding Huang Zhong back, let him go." Run to the west gate, if it weren't for General Zhang Wuyong, I'm afraid the west gate will not be able to defend!"

"What did General Ling Tong say? If you hadn't held Huang Zhong back first, how could I have escaped? Speaking of which, I, Guo Jia, owe you my life!" Guo Jia said seriously.

"This is a subordinate's accusation. If I can't even protect the military division, how can I have the face to see my lord and Lord Wang Yue?" Ling Tong wiped off the blood on his face and said.

"Military Master, how did the enemy army enter the city?" Zhang Liao asked after interrupting their conversation.

Guo Jia spat at the Jingzhou army that had just appeared on the top of the city, and shouted: "They dug a tunnel from outside the city, leading directly to a courtyard inside the city! I also just discovered it, otherwise, the consequences would be even worse than now. But I have already ordered the tunnel in that courtyard to be blocked!"

typical?Zhang Liao immediately felt that this strategy was very familiar. Zhao Lei liked to use this kind of strategy when he was besieging the city before.

And Guo Jia wanted to slap himself at this moment!Why didn't I think of this myself!The way to guard against this kind of siege strategy is very simple. You only need to dig a chasm on the edge of the city wall!
But now it’s too late for Guo Jia to repent. After seeing the wave of Jingzhou troops pouring down from the city, Guo Jia turned his head and shouted to the three generals Zhang Liao, Wen Chou, and Ling Tong: “Three generals! Can't hold it anymore! Let's withdraw!"

"Where are you going?" Wen Chou asked.

"Retreat to Qiaojiazhuang. Qiaojiazhuang is connected to the Lujiang River, and it is dangerous to defend. It is also in the city of Lujiang. The Jingzhou army was completely wiped out."

The reason why Zhang Liao made such a choice was because Qiao Xuan still had a part of Qiao Xuan's troops in Qiao's Village, and Qiao's Village was safe to defend, unlike here, where he could only face a direct conflict with the Jingzhou army.Zhang Liao also understood this truth, and he nodded in response: "Wen Chou! You protect the military division and retreat first! I'll stop the rear!" As he spoke, he raised the long spear in his hand and laid it across his chest. open posture.

Wen Chou is no longer hypocritical, he knows that Zhang Liao's martial arts has reached a fiery state at this moment, and it is perfect for him to break up in this state.Immediately, Zhang Wenchou waved his hand and shouted at the soldiers: "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! Ling Tong! You open the way ahead!"

After Ling Tong responded, he rushed to the front with a single sword in his hand, just as a few soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who were alone ran towards him.Ling Tong's eyes showed a cold light, and he shouted: "I want to die!" He raised his knife and dropped it, but he killed all the Jingzhou soldiers one by one.

With Ling Tong leading the team and Wen Chou's decision, Zhang Liao retreated towards the city with the remaining 200 Yangzhou troops.Seeing that the Yangzhou army had retreated so simply, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan couldn't help being stunned. They thought that the Yangzhou army would continue to fight the Jingzhou army, but they didn't expect to retreat so simply.Huang Zhong and Wei Yan glanced at each other, and Wei Yan immediately shouted: "These Yangzhou soldiers cannot escape! Brothers! Kill them!"

Huang Zhong originally wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.After all, it would be troublesome if these Yangzhou troops were allowed to escape into the city and start street fighting with the Jingzhou troops.Dang even gritted his teeth, and rushed forward again with Wei Yan and the Jingzhou army who had finally retreated under the city wall.

"Hmph!" Zhang Liao, who was in charge of the break, let out a cold snort, looking at Huang Zhong and Wei Yan who were rushing forward, his eyes flashed, but he did not rush.When Huang Zhong and Wei Yan rushed in front of him, Zhang Liao slammed one hand, swung the spear from bottom to top, and stabbed directly at Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's hands.

Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were taken aback by the speed of Zhang Liao's shot. He was obviously the first to make the move, but Zhang Liao's unique move was able to come from behind.The two of them could only barely retract their hands, and when they blocked with their weapons, they heard two loud bangs, and the big knives in their hands were suddenly shaken!

While Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were still in a daze, Zhang Liao saw that the Yangzhou Army had already retreated, and he didn't have the patience to pester these people any longer.With one shot, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army were forced to retreat, but they suddenly retreated a few steps, turned around, and the long spear in their hands was replaced by a pair of bows and arrows, and four arrows were attached to the long bow.

"Go!" Zhang Liao yelled violently, and the four arrows on the longbow shot out immediately, hitting the throats of the four front Jingzhou soldiers without any mistakes.It's just that the arrow shot by Zhang Liao couldn't be so simple. After hitting the target, the arrow didn't intend to stop. The Jingzhou army flew away, hitting several targets in a row before giving up.One of the arrows actually shot and killed seven soldiers of the Jingzhou army, and finally stopped on the shoulder socket of No.8 soldier of the Jingzhou army.

Zhang Liao's move abruptly dampened the momentum of the Jingzhou army, but Huang Zhong and Wei Yan immediately reacted and ordered the soldiers to fight, but they hid behind the soldiers, not daring to go forward, for fear of Zhang Liao's arrows Injured himself, especially Wei Yan who was already injured.Seeing the enemy rushing towards him, Zhang Liao took several steps back and fired several arrows again. Relying on his astonishing arm strength and the help of the Yangzhou army's longbow, Zhang Liao managed to kill the enemy with his own strength. Thousands of enemy troops were held back.

After retreating and fighting several times, Zhang Liao touched the arrow box on his back, but it was empty, because the arrows he had prepared had been used up.Zhang Liao didn't hesitate anymore, and even turned around and ran into the city. Although Zhang Liao was a little bit eager to kill, he was not a fool. He couldn't really think that he could fight tens of thousands of enemy troops alone, let alone these tens of thousands of enemies. The army is still led by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.Now that the task after the break has been completed, when will we wait if we don't withdraw at this time!
But at the moment Wen Chou turned to retreat, he heard a loud bang behind him, and it was a group of Jingzhou Army soldiers who took advantage of this moment to open the city gate.Now the Jingzhou army outside the city has no obstacles anymore, and began to officially launch an impact on the city. Under the illumination of the fire in the city, tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops surged from the gate of the city like a purple tide. out.The leading four-wheeled vehicle is Zhuge Liang, the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Army!
I saw Zhuge Liang holding a vermilion bird feather fan and shouting at the Jingzhou army behind him: "Brothers! Come on! Lujiang City is broken!"

At this moment, the Jingzhou army was rushing forward like hungry wolves. Their target was not the retreating Yangzhou army, but the houses of the people on both sides of the street.The entire Lujiang City fell into chaos immediately, and screams filled the entire Lujiang City, resounding through the night sky.

Thanks to the greedy Jingzhou army, the Yangzhou army was able to return safely to Qiaojiazhuang, and even Zhang Liao, who was in charge of the final battle, came back unscathed.And Qiao Xuan, who got the news early, knew that the Jingzhou army had broken through the city gate, so he also gathered all the soldiers and horses in Qiao's village. In addition, the Yangzhou army from the other three gates also retreated. There are also more than [-] people.

Immediately, Guo Jia, Wen Chou and others rushed back to Qiao's Village first, and immediately replaced Qiao Xuan and began to arrange the defense of Qiao's Village.Although Lujiang City has been breached now, it seems that the general situation is irreversible, but Guo Jia is absolutely impossible to give up and wait for death.As for Qiao Xuan, as the Sheriff of Lujiang County, he is even more duty bound.

Soon, after Zhang Liao also retreated, Guo Jia immediately ordered to close the gate of Qiaojiazhuang's mansion, and also moved out the rockery in the backyard of Qiaojiazhuang, directly blocking the Behind Zhuangzi's gate, the gate was blocked.What pleased everyone the most was that the defenders who retreated from the East City Gate also brought back some specially-made wooden frames, although these wooden frames were much larger than the walls of Qiao's Village, and some were not suitable for use.But Zhang Liao still asked the soldiers to fix the wooden frame to the wall with thick ropes, which could at least provide some protection.

After all this was done, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Jingzhou army hadn't attacked yet. He ran up to Guo Jia covered in blood, and bowed down to Guo Jia, saying, "It's not good for the general to do things well." !Let the enemy invade the city! Please punish the army!"

After Zhang Liao made such a bow, Wen Chou also bowed down immediately, and shouted: "No! Military division! The blame for this crime should be on the general!"

Guo Jia sighed and said, "It's not your fault at all. I forgot that Lujiang City is soft and easy to attack. As I said before, if it weren't for you two and General Ling Tong, I would have been captured alive by the enemy long ago. passed."

"Military division!!!" The eyes of all the generals present were filled with tears. The Yangzhou army, which had never been defeated before, lost so badly in this battle of Lujiang.
