Chapter 336: Destroying Lu (9)
When one of the enemies escaped from the jungle, they happened to bump into Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuobu passing by, and Chidi immediately rushed towards the other party with a scream, wanting to vent his anger on the unlucky people in front of him. The two of them did not understand why the enemy's emotions were out of control and turned like that, and they were immediately frightened, and turned and fled before they could meet the enemy.
Chidi departed a team to outflank Zhao Tong from the side, so that Zhao Tongbu was in a dangerous situation. At the critical moment, Han Ju led his troops to kill. The reinforcements repelled the outflanked Chidi and cleared the way for Zhao Tong.
Han Ju wanted to join forces with Zhao Tong to meet the enemy army, but Zhao Tong was frightened and continued to flee for his life without looking back. This shameful escape left Han Ju's forces alone, and they were soon surrounded by an overwhelmingly numerically superior enemy force.
Han retreated to a bare hill and ordered the chariots to be lined up as an obstacle, while the sergeants relied on the chariots to resist the attack.
Zhao Shuo reappeared in the plains, and in the process of pursuing the enemy, he quickly discovered the danger that Han Ju was in, and immediately gathered a large number of soldiers to rush over.
But when the supreme commander of Chidi's left army saw Zhao Shuo's banner, he did not wait for Yushu's order (and forgot their order to support the Chinese army), he commanded his subordinates to run over like mad dogs all over the mountains, and the officers ran faster than ordinary soldiers - Zhao Shuo killed Yushu's son, and he had been listed by Chidi as Chidi's number one public enemy and the number one trophy of the sergeants.
Luan Shu discovered the enemy's abnormal movement at this time, and he saw that the enemy army was quickly assembling towards Zhao Shuo's prescription position, and immediately guessed the other party's intentions.
Luan Shu shouted, "The Lord will be surrounded by enemies!" Come with me to rescue him! "In this way, the entire army of the Jin Division joined the war group. But while the army was running wildly, a large number of Chidi troops joined the running ranks from all directions, and as a result, the two sides surrounded each other, one circle after another, and mixed together like a mille-feuille.
The battle in the center of the encirclement was undoubtedly the most severe: because of the large number of people huddled together, the long weapons were completely useless, and the soldiers broke their weapons one after another, attacked them with spearheads, or simply pinched with their hands, bitten their teeth, and hit their heads with their heads.
Han Ju saw that Zhao Shuo was getting closer and closer to him, so he jumped on the chariot to break through, but he was fiercely attacked in the process of breaking through.
Zhao Shuo slammed left and right, and finally joined Han Ju, who was seriously injured and had fallen unconscious in the chariot. Zhao Shuo saw that the periphery was already an enemy that could not be seen at a glance, so he handed over Han Ju to Zhao Yingqi and asked him to send Han Ju back safely. Zhao Shuo ordered Zhao Yingqi to act separately from himself; He attacked in the opposite direction of Zhao Yingqi, in order to create a chance for Zhao Yingqi and Han Ju to break through.
Zhao Shuo made an arc, and the battle between the two sides started again with him as the center. Due to the battles everywhere, the positions of the various departments changed at any time, and the dust and chaotic banners made it impossible for Luan Shu to find Zhao Shuo's location.
Luan Shu accidentally turned his head to glance, but found that the camp of the Chidi Left Army was not far away, and it seemed to have become an empty camp, so Luan Shu led the army to rush to the Chidi camp. Due to the chaos on the battlefield, the soldiers were intoxicated with the battle, and this major move of the army did not attract the attention of the enemy!
Chidi's left battalion had only a small number of old and weak soldiers left, and the lower army and auxiliary troops were killed in a single charge. Some of the enemy were killed, and the rest fled in all directions. The Jin army then began to wreak havoc, burning tents, grain, grass and baggage; The auxiliaries were busy snatching the spoils of war.
The billowing smoke rising from the enemy camp attracted the attention of the entire battlefield; The fighting Chidi Left Army finally found that the old nest had been raided by the enemy, and the enemy had to turn around and rush back to rescue; He also sent a large reserve force to join the warband.
Until the enemy had already rushed up the high slope, the coalition forces were still in a state of concentration on arson, looting and sabotage, until someone shouted: "The enemy has rushed up!" The coalition realized that the retreat had been cut off. Faced with a strong enemy that far outnumbered his own, Luan Shu decisively ordered to rush out from behind the barracks.
The retreat of the Jin army also drove the remaining Chidi in the camp to the back gate, when a group of ragged "armed" slaves suddenly rushed out of nowhere, armed with all kinds of murder weapons, and pursued and killed the remnants of Chidi in all directions.
After these people had eliminated the enemy, they surrounded Luan Shu, led by a big man with gray hair and a ruddy face, who shouted in a patriotic accent: "Uncle Luan! Please take us with you! I am Gongsun Su, the grandson of the country, who was sold into slavery because of his defeat. Many of us were soldiers in the past, able to fight, familiar with the local area, and willing to serve Luan Bo loyally! Luan Shu said, "If you can keep up, then come with me!" ”
The slaves cheered, some of them opened the way, some followed, some drove the cattle and the wagons, and the people descended through the back door.
Chidi regained the left battalion, and they did not pursue Luan's army, but were busy rescuing and looting (because some of the property did not belong to them).
The battle lasted from morning to sunset, and the soldiers were exhausted, thirsty, and hungry, and each of them had exerted their strength and courage to the extreme, almost to the brink of collapse; By the time people could no longer distinguish whether the other side was friend or foe, the two sides finally withdrew their troops.
The losses of the coalition forces were very large, with more than 100 centurions killed and wounded by the centurions alone, and countless soldiers killed and wounded; Many hundred-man teams died en masse, and none survived; Zhao Shuo was captured, Luan Shu's whereabouts are unknown, Xun Ke was shot blind in one eye, Han Ju is still in a coma, and he doesn't know if he can survive tonight; There is not a single doctor who does not hang the lottery.
Chidi's losses were even heavier, the bravest men were the first to die, and Yushu finally got his retribution - one of his eyes was also shot blind, as if he was captured, Shuchen was killed, and the most annoying and hateful thing was that half of the camp of the left army was burned by Luan Shu, and thousands of slaves fled with it; And Luan Shu actually ran to his rear!
Both sides began to work on the aftermath. At nightfall, Yu Shu sent an envoy to the Jin army, Xun Lin's father ordered the soldiers to receive the Di envoy, and he and the Qing doctors waited for news in the Chinese military tent. The envoy proposed a truce tomorrow and hoped to exchange Zhao Shuo for Xianru.
The priest will ask Di to go down to rest, and then report the situation to Xun Lin's father.
There was a great deal of disagreement on whether to make a truce tomorrow, and Xun Lin's father finally decided: "There will definitely be a war tomorrow." Yu Shu took the initiative to propose a truce in order to delay time, which shows that Chidi encountered greater losses and difficulties than the coalition forces; Chidi's left battalion was almost defenseless, and there were problems with the supply of provisions.
"Although Luanshu's whereabouts are unknown, it is not something to be congratulated about Chidi; If there is a truce, Chidi will be able to free up his hands to rebuild the left camp and solve Luanshu. Therefore, the enemy must not be given a chance to breathe. ”
When it comes to the exchange of people, people are even more torn. The Jin people didn't know if Zhao Shuo was still alive, and they didn't know if it was a trick of the enemy: how could Yu Shu list him as the number one enemy, how could he be easily released?
At this moment, a military official reported that Han Ju had woken up. Shihui said: "The one who knows Zhao Shuo best is Han Ju, let's ask for his opinion." ”
