Chapter 245: Flooding the Nest
"I heard that you were originally a light cavalry general of the Bei'an Army, and you are good at raiding?"
In the face of Wang Xutuo's words, Jiao Chu did not have any dignified look, he arched his hand and said: "Now under the general, the general will order, and the general will obey the order!" ”
"There are talents!"
Wang Xutuo was pleased with Jiao Chu's attitude, and smiled slightly: "Very good, very good, since you say so, the old man dispatched all the light cavalry of the rear army, a total of more than 3,000 cavalry, under your command!" ”
"Thank you for the old general's appreciation!" Jiao Chu thanked him, and later, Wang Xutuo ordered Jiao Chu to lead part of the camp and camp twenty miles northwest of Chaohu Lake, so as to raid and gallop to help the war in the nest at all times and keep Zhang Qi from losing, but Wang Xutuo and Zhang Qi ignored the strength of the king of Yan, even though the dragon of the king of Yan has entered the shallow water, but the dragon has dragon energy, and the tiger and leopard can be reached.
Juchao Town.
Zhang Qi repaired the armor, divided two thousand light cavalry to camp three miles outside the north of the city, left three thousand soldiers in the city, and another two thousand as a raid team, led by Sun Hao, along the southern lake boundary of Juchao Town, stationed in the camp fifteen miles away, with Zhang Qi's plan, he wanted to use Juchao Town as a bait to attract the Yan army as much as possible, as long as the Yan army was fooled, Sun Hao and the light cavalry battalion attacked on both sides, and they could take advantage of the situation to rush and kill, and then Wang Xutuo pounced with all his might, and collected this southern expedition on a net, and then they attacked Liyang City again, it would be much easier.
But Liyang City, which was close at hand, had also been staring at this place, that Wang Lie was defeated and returned, He Qi knew the situation, and almost beheaded Wang Lie and other generals in anger.
"You can't defeat the weak brigade in the capital, how can you have the face to come back?"
Under the reprimand, Wang Lie and others adhered to the general's spirit, and with the order of making meritorious service for the crime, they asked for the order to form a first camp, and that night, Wang Lie and Cao Xing combined 800 dead soldiers to kill Juchao Town.
In order to exterminate the Zhongdu Army in World War I, under the advice of Guan Di, the general of the Chinese army, he actually took advantage of the continuous rain to carry out the strategy of water attack.
In the middle of the night, Wang Lie and Lu Hao led the lead in the camp of the dead soldiers, Sun Hao's raid team found that the Yan soldiers were coming, and immediately warned Juchao, and at the same time led his troops to attack on the flanks, but Wang Lie and Lu Hao fought to the death, and the soldiers were almost like crazy people, often one life for three, this kind of rushing and killing made Sun Hao invincible, and it was only three together, Sun Hao was defeated, that Wang Lie and Cao Xing were also stuck in Sun Hao's defeated army, and continued to go straight to the nest, but for a moment, Wang Lie and Lu Hao killed and ran to the east gate of Juchao Town, Zhang Qi had already been warned by Sun Hao, and the troops were arranged here, beat Wang Lie and Lu Hao strongly.
An hour later, Wang Lie was killed by Zhang Qi at the head of the city, and Cao Xing was defeated under the city gate, but Zhang Qi found that Cao Xing did not have the slightest fear after the defeat, and even kept laughing, saying that Zhang Qi and the others were already dead people in the grave, just waiting to fill in the soil and bury the pit.
"Zhongdu thief, tonight is your death period, my Jianghuai land, I can't help you to be rampant!"
"You swallow thief, rebellious to the court, don't know the way, you are innocent of death!"
Zhang Qi was angry, and the left and right knife hands fell together, and Cao Xing's head rolled to the ground like a ball, but in addition to the anger, Zhang Qi felt uneasy, before he fought with Wang Lie and Cao Xing, these Yan generals, the two of them acted calmly and moderately, how could they attack tonight, like a mad dog, this is really puzzling.
At the same time, the commander of the southern city of Juchao Town rushed in a hurry, and it looked like a great enemy.
"Pioneer, it's not good, it's drowning..."
"What's the panic, what's going on?"
Zhang Qi was irritable, and he didn't hear clearly for a while, so Ling Qi held back the fear in his heart and said again: "Lord Pioneer, the water is coming from the south, and now most of Zhennan City has been flooded, and it will not be half a moment, and the water has not reached the root of the thigh!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Qi's face turned pale instantly, and Jiang Ji, Sun Hao, and Hua'an were all frightened, they were all people from Zhongdu or Northern Xinjiang, and they didn't know much about the Jianghuai water potential and landform, if you think about it carefully, you will find that Juchao Town is next to Chaohu Lake, and once the big lake connecting the Jianghuai waterway overflows and collapses, what will be the consequences, you can imagine that at this time, the big water is coming, Juchao Town is not a highland, and it is impossible to avoid flooding, and Zhang Qi still wants to use this place to fish Yan Jun, but in the eyes of Yan Jun, they have become a pot of dead fish, plus an hour ago, Wang Lie and Lu Hao's death battle attracted the attention of most of Zhang Qi, and now it is too late to find out that the flood is coming.
In the dark night, the water of Chaohu Lake is flooded by the Yan army, but in an hour, it becomes a water city, the soldiers in the city all climb the roof city wall, but the cloudy weather, the flood water will only rise higher and higher, until the early hours of the morning, the water depth has been a zhang, and Zhang Qi and other more than 5,000 soldiers are all trapped, when there is nowhere to escape, the Yan army is coming, different from Wang Lie, Lu Hao, these Yan soldiers take small boats, mostly with crossbowmen as the public, facing the Zhongdu soldiers at the head of the city, the Yan soldiers release arrows indiscriminately, just half a moment, the soldiers in the city are killed and wounded, Those soldiers who tried to swim to escape were also treated as fat fish by the Yan soldiers, and they were stabbed to death in the water with a single shot, and their blood stained the entire Juchao Town.
"General, it's not good, Juchao has been attacked by a big flood, it has become an ocean, and the forward cavalry camp of our army has also been washed away by the water, Jiao Chu led the light cavalry battalion to retreat fifty miles west, temporarily avoiding the flood, the water in our camp has also overflowed to the calf, and if we don't retreat, I am afraid that there will be a big disaster!"
Jin Jingshui returned from the night patrol, found something strange, and immediately came to report, Wang Xutuo listened to it, and after being stunned for a while, he reacted, and then he was angry: "Miscalculated, miscalculated, I thought of everything, but I didn't expect the swallow thief to attack in the water, this is over, it's over!" ”
That night, Zhang Qi's vanguard army lost as many as 5,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Qi, Jiang Ji and other generals were all tied up under the water in Juchao Town, and Wang Xutuo's outpost camp was destroyed more than 10 times, and the rear army of the department was lost before the battle, and the heart of the army was shaken.
In the early morning, when the sun shines again, Juchao Town is quiet, just look closely, you will find a tragic scene, inside and outside the city of Juchao Town, countless corpses of Zhongdu soldiers float on the water, its bloody taste attracts a large number of fish and shrimp to devour, it is really disgusting.
In the northeast of Juchao Town, a turtle boat listened quietly on the shore, on the shore, He Qi looked at the Zhongdu generals who were bound and kneeling, He Qi said: "If you surrender, you can be exempted from the death penalty, if you want to return to the Yan army, then the official position is before!" ”
With a nonsense shout, no one answered, He Qi sneered, took a few steps forward, and walked in front of the black-faced general Zhang Qi: "Zhang Yuzhi, you and I have met in the battle of the Chinese capital, have you ever thought about today's fruit at that time?" ”
"Humph!" Although Zhang Qi was defeated, the arrogance in the bones of the northerners did not diminish at all, he snorted coldly and raised his head, and said: "Lao Tzu miscalculated, I didn't expect you to come to attack the water, otherwise it would be you who knelt on the ground!" ”
