Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 418 Battle of the Lujiang River (8)

"Why cry! Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Although we almost lost Lujiang City this time and are trapped here, as long as Zhang Han's army comes, we still have a chance to turn the tables. You all cheer me up. Especially You, Wen Yuan, Zilong is not here, you are the supreme commander of the Yangzhou Army, now you should show the posture of fighting Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, how can you become the decadent you are now!"

Wen Chou and Zhang Liao stood up. Hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhang Liao wiped away the tears on his face, but shouted resolutely: "Military division! Although the Jingzhou army succeeded today! But the general will never let the enemy army get too complacent. I still say that, if Zhuge Liang wants to get Lujiang City, he must first step over me, Zhang Wenyuan!"

With Zhang Liao's rhetoric, the Yangzhou army on the left and right were all excited and shouted in unison. As for Wen Chou and Ling Tong standing next to Zhang Liao, let alone, looking at the fanatical looks on their faces, it was only a matter of time. Fearing that the Jingzhou army is coming, they will be the first to rush out and fight the Jingzhou army desperately.

Not only the Yangzhou army, but Qiao Xuan, who is a civil servant, also applauded, pulled out the sword from his waist, which was always just an ornament, and shouted: "My lord, there is such a strong general as Wen Yuan! With such a bold military commander, such a Strong soldiers! Why can't we annihilate the Yangzhou army? Everyone! Today, old man Qiao is talking about it here. Even if my old bones die today, I will have to pay the enemy!"

"Woo!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, their morale directly raised to the peak.At the same time, the Jingzhou Army, which had rushed into the city long ago, finally arrived outside the Qiaojiazhuang mansion.
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan arrived outside Qiao's Village almost at the same time, and when they saw the Yangzhou Army that was already in full swing, they retreated at the same time even though they had tens of thousands of troops in their hands.After all, the capture of Lujiang City is already a doomed outcome, if at this last moment, if there is any loss in order to attack this small Qiaojiazhuang, it will not be worth it.

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, but neither of them refused to take the initiative to order an attack.The two generals refused to issue military orders, so the Jingzhou troops under them naturally just stood there and stared at Qiao's village.As for Zhang Liao and others in Qiao's Village, although they didn't understand what the Jingzhou army outside the city was doing, it would be good if they could delay for a moment longer!
Just like that, in such a strange atmosphere, it was delayed for more than an hour, and the two armies stood on the fence like this, staring at each other.Zhuge Liang, who hurried over to the Jingzhou army who had finally rectified their entry into the city, saw this situation, and was almost so angry that Huang Zhong and Wei Yan vomited blood.Directly ordered to attack Qiaojiazhuang! ! !

There was a bang, and before Zhuge Liang had time to shout out the order, suddenly, there was a deafening sound of war drums from the east of the city, which directly interrupted Zhuge Liang's order.

A hint of doubt appeared on Zhuge Liang's face. When he rectified the Jingzhou army just now, he had already confirmed that Mi Fang, who had been sent into the city earlier, was still rectifying the casualties, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were by his side.Apart from myself, there are no other officers left. Who else can order to beat the drums without permission?

Zhuge Liang waved the Suzaku feather fan in his hand, frowned and shouted: "What's the matter? Who gave the order indiscriminately and sounded the drums? Why don't you go and find out?"

Before Zhuge Liang sent out to find out the reason, a Jingzhou soldier rushed over from the east in a panic, ran in front of Zhuge Liang, fell down, but had no time to stand up, Lie on the ground like this and shouted to Zhuge Liang: "Military division! Military division! It's not good! A large number of Yangzhou troops appeared outside the east gate! They are attacking here!"

"What?" Zhuge Liang's eyes widened immediately, he stared closely at the Jingzhou soldier and shouted, his face full of disbelief.Dang even threw the fan in his hand at the soldier, and shouted: "Nonsense! Where did the Yangzhou Army come from in Lujiang City!"

The Jingzhou Army soldier looked like he was about to cry, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Military Master! Even if you have the guts, you don't dare to lie to the Military Master! There really is a Yangzhou Army! And there are five More than 5 people! This, the sound of the war drum is the sound of the Yangzhou army! Now we only have a few hundred people at the east gate, and we can’t stop the attack of those Yangzhou troops! Please order support quickly!"

Zhuge Liang's face had become ugly. He could tell that this soldier of the Jingzhou Army definitely didn't have the guts to lie to him. It seemed that there was really a large army of the Yangzhou Army coming.Regardless of where the Yangzhou army came from, the first thing to do is to defend the Lujiang city, and absolutely not let the Yangzhou army rush into the city like this.In terms of numbers, the Yangzhou Army has more than 5 people, and its combat effectiveness far exceeds these ordinary Jingzhou Army soldiers. Zhuge Liang now only has more than 1 people in his hands, and he can't stop the impact of those Yangzhou Army soldiers.

"Military division! It's not good! Military division!" But before Zhuge Liang gave the order, another Jingzhou army soldier ran away from the south. This Jingzhou army soldier also looked staggering and embarrassed.The soldier of the Jingzhou Army managed to crawl up to Zhuge Liang, pointed to the south and shouted: "Military Master! It's not good! A large number of Yangzhou Army appeared outside the gate of the south city! Charged towards the city!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly felt a bang on the top of his head, as if a thunder fell from the sky and hit his forehead.At the same time, as if to verify the words of the Jingzhou soldier, there were bursts of shouts from the south, and the sound was getting closer.

lost!There are only these two words left in Zhuge Liang's mind.Needless to say, Zhuge Liang is doomed to lose this battle!Zhuge Liang didn't know where the large number of Yangzhou troops that appeared in the east of the city came from, but Zhuge Liang was able to vaguely guess one or two of the Yangzhou troops that appeared from the south.

Zhuge Liang's plan for the incident this time was that he first took down Lujiang County, seized the food and grass in Lujiang County, and took advantage of Lujiang's geographical location to cut off the connection between Yangzhou, Shouchun and Zhao Lei's allied Cao Cao territory.Immediately afterwards, Xu Shu marched from Chaisang to attack the Lower Yangtze River Road, and the two armies gradually encroached on other cities in Yangzhou, bringing the entire Yangzhou under the control of the Jingzhou Army!

According to this plan, Lujiang is a city that must be captured.

Glancing at the soldiers of the Jingzhou army who were also at a loss by these two sudden news, the bursts of shouts from the south kept beating Zhuge Liang's confidence. At the same time, the war drums in the east The sound also stopped, replaced by the same shout of killing.Zhuge Liang knew right away that the north city gate must have been breached!

It was already a good situation, but now it has come to such an end, Zhuge Liang can't wait to draw his sword and commit suicide immediately to apologize!But seeing the helpless faces of the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army around him, Zhuge Liang couldn't help heaving a long sigh, these are all Liu Bei's roots!If it is all lost here, wouldn't it be heartbreaking!After thinking about it again and again, Zhuge Liang resisted the idea of ​​fighting to the death, picked up the fan on the ground, waved his hand, and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat to the west!"

The soldiers of the Jingzhou Army were already panicked when they first heard that the Yangzhou Army had arrived, but now with Zhuge Liang's order, they were relieved from their panic.Dang even obeyed Zhuge Liang's military orders, gathered his troops, and rushed towards the west gate.Before Zhuge Liang left, he glanced at Qiaojiazhuang unwillingly.last step!It's just the last step!If Qiaojiazhuang could be captured a moment earlier, and Lujiang City could be completely controlled, with the support of the city wall, Zhuge Liang was confident that he would be able to fight those Yangzhou troops!
As long as these Yangzhou army can be held back, I believe that Liu Bei's reinforcements in Xiakou will come to support them. At that time, all these Yangzhou army will be buried here, so how could it be Zhuge Liang's turn to flee now.

But it doesn't make any sense to think so much now, Zhuge Liang can only escape from Lujiang City in a hurry with more than ten thousand Jingzhou troops full of remorse.On the way to escape, it was inevitable to encounter the pursuit of the Yangzhou army from the north and the south.Zhuge Liang, who was no longer interested in fighting, naturally would not entangle with these Yangzhou troops anymore. He had no intention of resisting at all, and directly ordered to flee. More than 1 troops were chased and beaten by 5 Yangzhou troops, causing countless casualties. Although he was able to escape in the end, But the remaining soldiers and horses are less than 1.

And when Zhuge Liang gave the order to escape, Qiao Xuan, Guo Jia, and the rest of the Yangzhou army were all overjoyed when they heard the movement outside Qiaojiazhuang.However, Wen Chou's proposal was stopped by the cautious Guo Jia. The reason was that the reinforcements were not known to be true or not.Hearing Guo Jia's suggestion, Wen Chou also agreed with Guo Jia's opinion. Anyway, even if they stick to Qiaojiazhuang, if reinforcements really come, there will be no difference if there are a few hundred more of them.

Although Guo Jia said so in his mouth, he already believed in his heart that reinforcements really came!Because based on the current strength of the Jingzhou army and the defenders in Qiaojiazhuang, Zhuge Liang didn't need to play this trick at all.However, Guo Jia thought of such an excuse and persuaded Wen Chou to attack, but he had his own considerations, because the Yangzhou Army was forced too badly by the Jingzhou Army before, and Guo Jia was worried that Wen Chou might be hit by the enemy with a mentality of revenge. Ambush, that's why he didn't let Wen Chou go out.Zhang Han, who came to the rescue, will grasp the scale of the pursuit and where to chase. I believe Zhang Han knows it in his heart, so Guo Jia doesn't need to worry about it.Thinking of this, Guo Jia ordered the soldiers in Qiao's Village to go out of the village and stationed in Lujiang to rectify the post-war city. After a month of war, Lujiang seemed to have returned to calm.
