Chapter 0780: Northern Xinjiang Offensive (4)
"Kill...... Kill it......" Li Yi raised a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and shouted wildly, "Brothers, kill ......"
The roar of "killing ......" was like thunder, setting off heavy waves and rushing straight into the enemy formation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Five thousand soldiers from the northern frontier slammed into Liu Beijun's flank with a overwhelming momentum.
Liu Bei's army was advancing in the northwest direction, and the flanks of the army were completely exposed to the Northern Frontier Army arrayed due north. Under the devastating blow of the first round of arrows of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Liu Bei's army was caught off guard, suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was in chaos.
Zhu Ling jumped up from the ground, pointed at the Northern Xinjiang army in front of him, and roared loudly: "Rush up, rush up, block them, block them......"
"Beat the drums and order the front and rear troops to attack the enemy's flanks ......"
"General, your sword ......" A personal guard picked up the war knife from the ground and quickly handed it to Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling lifted the crooked battle helmet, turned his head to look at the war horse that fell to the ground and twitched in pain, roared angrily, snatched the war knife with his hand, slashed it on the horse's neck, and roared: "Kill, kill me ......"
"General, we have been tricked, and the opposite side is the Northern Frontier Army." The adjutant general shouted loudly, "Since the Northern Frontier Army has appeared here, Zang Ba's army must also be here, we are surrounded, let's withdraw quickly." ”
As soon as the adjutant general's words fell, the drums in the rear of the army rang out in unison, and the sound of killing came through the night.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of killing was also heard from the northwest, and the dense sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, making people feel terrified.
Zhu Ling and the deputy general's faces changed greatly, and they all looked to the east.
The army was surrounded on three sides, and only the east side could escape, but the east side was the Shushui River, and there was a dead end.
The deputy general hurriedly said to Zhu Ling: "General, immediately send someone to fight out of the encirclement, and order Cao Bao and Qin Yilu to send troops to support immediately." ”
Zhu Ling sneered, nodded, then reached out and flicked the bloody blade, and said, "Cao Bao and Qin Yilu's 20,000 army is ten miles away, and they can be reached in a blink of an eye. I want to see if the Northern Xinjiang Army is powerful, or my Xuzhou Army is powerful. ”
"Order, form a formation, defend ......"
………………
"Shoot ...... Shoot...... Shoot ......" a captain of the Northern Xinjiang Military Academy roared loudly while running wildly.
The soldiers of Northern Xinjiang who were running in the front row raised their crossbows and shot at Liu Beijun, who was dozens of paces away. Liu Beijun, who quickly came up, was hit hard again, and immediately fell to the ground.
The "...... killer" The captain of the Northern Xinjiang Military Academy took the lead, and the shield in his hand struck down with a thunderous blow, knocking an oncoming enemy pawn upside down and flying upside down, and chopping down with a volley of combat knives, cutting off the arms of the enemy on his side.
The enemy soldier screamed miserably, and a spear thrust into his chest. The spear came out, bringing up a poop of blood.
More soldiers from the northern frontier rushed into the enemy formation, and the killing was fierce one after another.
Wu Dun rushed into the battlefield with 3,000 elites of the Qingzhou army, and Wu Ba also led his headquarters of 8,000 Northern Xinjiang troops to block the enemy's retreat.
Gao Shun and Li Yi commanded the Northern Xinjiang Army to rush and kill, intending to divide Liu Bei's army into two and encircle and annihilate it.
………………
Zhu Ling's sword was like a rainbow, invincible, and the soldiers of the northern frontier fell under his sword one after another, and more than a dozen soldiers in the three attack battle formations were killed and injured in the blink of an eye.
Li Yi was furious, and led his guards to surround Zhu Ling, shouting: "Entangle him, entangle him...... Kill his guards, quick, quick......"
Zhu Ling snorted angrily, held the knife in both hands, slashed three people in a row, and went straight to Li Yi, shouting, "Go and die." ”
Li Yi's shield was swung out, and the battle knife in his hand stabbed Zhu Ling's personal guard on his side in an instant.
With a ......"boom", the shield shattered, Li Yi's left arm was in severe pain, and his body couldn't withstand Zhu Ling's heavy blow, and he fell to the ground with a "pounce".
Zhu Ling's knife momentum remained unchanged, and the battle knife slashed directly at Li Yi's head.
Almost at the same time, two spears, two war knives, and a battle axe slashed and killed. Swords and spears collided, and swords slammed upside down. The spear broke, and the tip of the spear was castrated, piercing Zhu Ling's thigh.
Zhu Ling snorted in pain, took a few steps back, and kicked a northern Xinjiang soldier out of the air.
"Kill him, kill him......" Li Yi staggered to his feet, screaming in a hoarse voice, "Don't let him go." ”
………………
After Zhu Ling led the army to launch a sneak attack, Cao Bao quietly went out of the city and approached the Qingzhou army camp from the front, in order to respond to Zhu Ling's sneak attack on the Qingzhou army. In the event of an accident in the sneak attack, they can rush into the Qingzhou military camp as quickly as possible to rescue Zhu Ling.
When there was a faint sound of killing in the night wind, Cao Bao couldn't help it, and said to the deputy general Qin Yilu: "Old Qin, let's kill it too, right?" ”
Qin Yilu shook his hand and stopped Cao Bao and said, "Without Zhu Ling's order, we can't act without permission. ”
Qin Yilu pointed to the tall city hidden in the night in the distance, and said: "Zhu Ling took away 10,000 people, and our 20,000 army is outside the city, once we are dragged by the enemy, Jucheng may be in danger." ”
Cao Bao scoffed at this and said, "You are too cautious. I have fought with the Yellow Turban Army for more than ten years, which time has I not won a big victory? These Qingzhou troops are similar to the Yellow Turban Army, and they are just a group of rogues, so there is nothing to worry about. ”
"The problem is that the Qingzhou army that attacked Xuzhou this time may not be the real Qingzhou army." Qin Yilu looked at the Shushui River in the dark, and said worriedly, "After Yin Li and Wu Dun were defeated by us last year, the Southern Qingzhou Army was almost wiped out, and it is impossible for Yin Li and Wu Dun to gather so many people to attack Xuzhou again in just over half a year. Zhu Ling had always suspected that Zang Ba and his army in Northern Qingzhou were hiding in that big camp. ”
Cao Bao didn't think so and didn't speak.
"Recently, the Qingzhou army has been traveling back and forth between the Shushui River and the Yishui River, attacking and threatening the two cities of Dongguan and Dong'an to lure us out of the city to rescue, and its purpose is obviously to transfer our army out of Jucheng." Qin Yilu explained, "We suspect that the reason why the Qingzhou army dares to do this is because they have the strength to rely on and have enough strength to confront us, so we have not left the city and have been waiting for the Qingzhou army to make a mistake. Today, the Qingzhou Army happened to be camped thirty miles away from Jucheng, which gave us an opportunity, but at the same time it was also a dangerous opportunity. ”
Qin Yilu turned his head to look at Cao Bao and continued: "Zhu Ling is eager to defeat the Qingzhou Army, but he despises the Qingzhou Army extremely much, if he ......"
Before Qin Yilu could finish speaking, several heralds rushed out of the dark night and shouted loudly from afar: "General Zhu Ling is surrounded by the Qingzhou Army camp, please ask the two generals to support quickly." ”
………………
Yin Li sat quietly in the dark.
The faint glow of fire and the faint sound of war drums on the battlefield in the distance pierced his heartstrings and made him excited.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
In order to take revenge, in order to be able to kill Zhu Ling and his Danyang soldiers, he would rather be crushed than boneless.
Gao Shun's arrival gave him this opportunity.
Gao Shun was famous in the Northern Xinjiang Army for his strict management of the army, honesty and self-discipline, and his upright and loyal temperament. During the more than a year he was stationed in Qingzhou, he gave great help to the Northern Qingzhou Army and the Southern Qingzhou Army, and gained an excellent reputation among the generals of the two armies.
The reason why the armies of Hebei and Qingzhou in the north and south were able to successfully join forces to attack Xuzhou this time was precisely because of the respect and obedience of the generals of the three armies to Gao Shun.
This kind of trust from the warrior's heart made Gao Shun's attack strategy be followed and executed to the letter.
Gao Shun believed that in order to defeat Zhu Ling, he would take advantage of Zhu Ling's arrogance and contempt after defeating the Southern Qingzhou army in Zhengrong Valley last year, lure his army out of the city, and kill him in the wild.
At present, Liu Bei led the main force of the Xuzhou army and Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu in the Jianghuai area, Zhu Ling for the safety of Xuzhou, without absolute certainty, will never easily lead the army out of the city, and the Yellow Turban Army face to face to fight.
In order to paralyze and deceive Zhu Ling, Gao Shun made the 30,000 army take off his armor, and the Qingzhou army that pretended to be Southern Qingzhou among nearly 100,000 people entered Xuzhou.
Zhu Ling has the precedent and confidence to defeat the Qingzhou army, and as long as he is given the opportunity to attack, he will definitely fall for the scheme.
After Gao Shun led the army to Jucheng, he immediately made a fear of Zhu Ling and did not dare to attack forcibly, turned around and went to fight the two cities of Dongguan and Dong'an on the bank of the Yishui River, and led the army to move back and forth between the Yishui River and the Shushui River from time to time, hoping to lure Zhu Ling, but Zhu Ling has been standing still and waiting to see what happens.
The day before yesterday, Gao Shun saw that Zhu Ling had no intention of going out of the city to attack, so he immediately changed his strategy, suddenly took Dongguan with force, and then besieged Dong'an City.
As soon as Dongguan and Dong'an were lost, the flanks of Jucheng immediately lost protection, and Zhu Ling's army might be trapped in Jucheng and in a dilemma.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Ling had to send troops to the rescue.
After Gao Shun got the news, he immediately led his army to rush to Jucheng for a hundred miles, intending to attack Jucheng while Jucheng's forces were weak.
At this moment, Zhu Ling's reinforcements had not yet arrived in Dong'an, and Gao Shun had already withdrawn from Dong'an impatiently and rushed to Jucheng.
The officers and men of the Qingzhou Army were exhausted from the march and battle for days.
After Zhu Ling got the news that the Qingzhou army turned around and killed Benjucheng, he naturally did not hesitate and immediately turned around and chased after him.
Gao Shun's stupid and low-level mistake was tantamount to giving Zhu Ling the best chance to attack.
Zhu Ling was waiting for this opportunity.
However, all this was a flaw that Gao Shun deliberately sold to Zhu Ling. He tossed back and forth between the Yishui and Shushui rivers for several days, running back and forth for hundreds of miles, hoping that this deliberate mistake at the last moment would lure Zhu Lingzhong into his plan.
Zhu Ling really hit the plan, he hurried back to Jucheng, and couldn't wait to launch an attack on the unprepared Qingzhou army.
In the dark night, the sound of war drums became more and more intensive, and the faint smell of blood floated in the night sky of Hesse with a gust of wind.
Yin Li slowly stood up and slowly walked to the front of the military formation. Like the soldiers arrayed in the field, he stared into the distance, at the flames that rose straight from between heaven and earth.
Now the 27,000 troops of Gao Shun, Li Yi, Wu Dun, and Wu Ba have trapped Guan Yu, as long as he can block the enemy's reinforcements here, Zhu Ling will be dead.
This battle began when Zhu Ling led the army to attack the Qingzhou army camp, and the fate of defeat was doomed, and all of this came from Gao Shun's strategy. (To be continued.) )
