Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 597
How could the Cheng Pu army in the city be unprepared at this time when they rushed to the battle several times?
The Xuzhou army used arrows, and they also chose to use arrows. At this time, a lot of archers were ambushed on several high places at the city gate and on the roof.

However, the dozens of cavalry led by Gu Jian are basically second- and third-tier soldiers. Not only are they much taller than ordinary soldiers, but also due to the influence of some mysterious force, their defense power is as different as that of ordinary heavy armored cavalry even though they are wearing light armor. , almost turning a blind eye to the rain of arrows and boulders on both sides.

And in such a situation where the enemy is outnumbered, Gu Jian's talent "Dragon Fights in the Wild" is also triggered. This time when entering the city, he rushes out ahead of time. After shooting the arrows, it is no nonsense, and he directly cuts down a big tree. Holding a thick tree trunk horizontally, he exerted all his strength, roared wildly, waved it, and threw it over with the force of galloping horses
The tree trunk was extremely heavy, and it fell into Cheng Pujun's formation with the sound of "huhu". In an instant, it smashed their formation to the ground.

"Hahaha"

Gu Jian laughed more and more wildly, and led three or four riders to charge forward, slashing with the sword bayonet, directly killing a path of blood!
They stirred in the formation, the rest of the troops went straight through it, entered the city, fired rockets everywhere, turned the horses back, the two teams joined together again, repelled the entanglement of Cheng Pu's army, and rode out of the city.After going out of the city to check the horsemen, several people were lost again, and all the survivors were injured. Seeing this, the deputy general approached with a solemn expression and said: "Lieutenant."

"In such a narrow road in the city, the enemy's cavalry is not as powerful as ours, and it is difficult for the infantry to form a group, and we have no intention of capturing the city. We will return immediately after harassment, so we can persist until now, but next"

"I know!"

Gu Jian wiped his face impatiently, his face was already covered with blood and smoke, and after one wipe, it became more and more frightening: "But if we don't attack from inside and outside like this, how can we hold back the enemy?" ?”

"The Jizhou Army has been late to arrive. General Zang is too far away, so I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up." The deputy general thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Lieutenant, I have a plan. If it succeeds, maybe I can delay it for us a little bit more." Time. It’s just that the risk is a bit high.”

"What risk are you afraid of?" Gu Jian snorted coldly, "When I was a child, I followed him to make troubles. What day in the past ten years has I not been licking blood?"

Then he looked around the crowd and said: "Guo Duwei said there is a risk, are you afraid?"

Everyone laughed, and said one after another: "Captain, we are not afraid of death, what risk are we afraid of? The captain is so underestimated."

"If there is a plan to come quickly, the general's wedding, we people can't come up with anything good to give, we all want to make a contribution as a gift."

Hearing this, the lieutenant general laughed, but he simply said, "This is my fault, I apologize to you brothers first."

"If you want to continue to trap the enemy, now it seems that there is only one way to repeat the old tricks."

Gu Jian looked sideways and asked, "How to repeat the old trick?"

"Just now the school captain led the vanguard to this time. In order to bluff the enemy, he once made people drag the branches on the ground and gallop the horse. The smoke and dust made the enemy suspect that there was an ambush. Why not do it again from a distance outside the city?"

The lieutenant general smiled and said, "Let the enemy general think that our reinforcements have arrived!"

Gu Jiandao: "This enemy general is as timid as a mouse, the possibility of being tricked again is not small, but if this trick is used, what danger is there?"

The lieutenant general said: "If the enemy general falls into the trap and really thinks that our reinforcements are coming, there are only two ways to deal with them: one is to retreat into the city and wait for reinforcements, and the other is very likely to jump over the wall in a hurry and go out of the city desperately."

"If it's the former, it's naturally the most suitable for us, but if it's the latter, it's a big risk!"

"Lieutenant, please think about it. We have been entangled with the enemy here for half a day. There is a lot of movement. The surrounding cities may have received wind. Qu'a is an important town. Naturally, the defenders will not move lightly, but Jiangcheng County may come to help. , it is estimated that there must be more than a thousand people."

"With more than a thousand troops, we are naturally not afraid, but the brothers have traveled long distances, and have been fighting for a long time, and the men and horses are exhausted. This is all at our disadvantage. If the time comes, it will be a great danger if they come to attack us from inside and outside. ?”

These words reminded Gu Jian, his eyes showed thoughtfulness, he pondered for a moment and said: "That's right, but this is indeed a way to hold back the enemy, if there are five or five, it is enough to do it."

He asked the crowd again, "What do you think, brothers?"

Everyone said: "Looking at the current situation, it is the captain's strategy that cannot stop the enemy, and Qu'a is even more difficult to break through. Captain, let's do it!"

Since everyone had no objections, Gu Jian immediately dispatched a Dubo to lead a part of the people to the nearby villages to drive away the people, heading south and wandering away.

After seeing them go away, Gu Jian climbed up and looked far away. After a while, he saw that there was smoke and dust suddenly rising in the west, which was where Jiang Cheng was.

Gu Jian turned his head left and right, looked at both sides, because he didn't know if this strategy would work, he couldn't help but be worried, and urged the remaining cavalry to hold their bows and guns and get ready for battle.A few more people were picked out, pretending to be running back and forth, cheering and shouting: "The reinforcements have arrived."

Cheng Pujun, who came from the west, also seemed to have noticed the smoke and dust from the south, and his advance seemed to have paused slightly.

Gu Jian stared intently, watching from afar, will this Cheng Pu army retreat, stop, or continue to attack?For the time being, it's hard to know.

At this moment, Cheng Pujun in the county heard the cheers of people outside the city. A man dressed as a general climbed up to the top of the city, glanced at the south and west respectively, and then went down to the city. There was no movement for a while.

The fire was still burning, the smoke was still in the air, the sun was slowly setting in the west, and it was almost dusk, the surrounding fields were quiet, except for the cheers of the horsemen, not even the chirping of birds could be heard.

Gu Jian turned his head and looked around, wishing to have six eyes to focus on three directions at the same time, but he felt that it was not enough. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the city. He was startled, and looked quickly, but saw the city gate suddenly opened. Open, and immediately countless soldiers and horses rushed out like a tide, rushing to the city!

As if echoing each other, the Jiangcheng defenders from the west also raised their flags almost at the same time. The cavalry stepped out, followed by the infantry, and swept towards Dantu suddenly.

not good!

Gu Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he realized almost instantly that the enemy may not have seen the flaw in the lieutenant general's plan, but made another choice after falling into the trap.
Since the Xuzhou army and our own reinforcements are here at the same time, we must join forces before the other party arrives!
As long as they can defeat Gu Jian's side quickly, and then deal with the other side's reinforcements, there is still a good chance of winning.

Damn, underestimate each other!

Gu Jian regretted secretly. He never thought that the timid enemy general in his eyes would make such a decision. Of course, the best strategy at this time is to retreat immediately. However, he tried his best to block Cheng Pujun for such a long time. How could he be willing? Just leave?
Gu Jian looked down and saw that everyone was riding their horses around and looking up at him. He made a decision as soon as he got angry, raised his long sword high and raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, this is the end of the matter, how can all previous efforts be wasted?"

"Then how can I be worthy of the brother who died in battle? How will I meet the lord in the future?"

"At this moment, the only option is to fight to the death!"

Everyone raised their swords to respond, shouting: "Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

"The city gate is near, but the west is far away. If we defend the city gate, our troops will be trapped internally and externally, and it will be difficult to do it for a long time. Between us, it is better to abandon the city gate and go to the west to fight. If we don't want to kill the enemy, as long as we can use our cavalry and archery If you hold them firmly for a while longer, no matter you win or lose, you will be worthy, and if you pass it on, you won't lose Qu Shuai's face!"

From this sentence, it can be seen that even if they entered the system, in Gu Jian's heart, I am afraid that Zhang Rao and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban are still more important than Wang Zheng. Congratulations, but what Gu Jian thinks is to work hard to complete the task after receiving this task, first of all, he does not want to be meritorious, but to be worthy, and not to lose the face of the old master.

No one should die.Then he released Ming Di, sent people to the side door, and called the deputy governor to lead his subordinates over.People screamed and horses neighed, and the men and horses on both sides joined together as one army. At this point in the battle, the loss of the Celestial Army was not small, at most only one thousand four or five, but when the enemy reinforcements arrived, they did not decrease but increased.

This kind of scene might be shaken by other armies, but the Heavenly Army is used to it. After all, it is not once or twice to fight less, and everyone has no fear. Waiting for Gu Jian to give an order, then go to intercept and kill the enemy coming from the west.

At this moment, the sentry cavalry placed on the outer periphery of the south suddenly ran over quickly, shouting while running: "Reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived."

Everyone turned their heads in unison, someone was stunned and stared, his brain turned slowly, he spat on the ground, and cursed: "His grandma, he still called for a hammer! Didn't you see that the grandson thief has already seen it?"

The man was still shouting all the way, and ran to the nearest place, Gu Jian and others could see clearly, seeing him ecstatic, Gu Jian's heart moved, and he heard the man shout: "Lieutenant, look to the south, our reinforcements have arrived!"

Gu Jian was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "Who is coming? How many horses are they bringing? Are they cavalry? Or pawns?"

"They are all cavalry, with thousands of people up and down. I saw the big banner in front of them, and the word "Dou Da" was written on it."

"What word?" Gu Jian hurriedly asked: "Is it General Zang's department? Or General Jiang of Jizhou?"

"Um, captain, the villain is illiterate."

The person who sent the letter was also confused, and he was halfway through the sentence when he suddenly remembered that although he saw a familiar flag of the Heavenly Army, he didn't recognize what was written on it.

"Oh shit!"

Gu Jian was startled, cursed out of his mouth, then laughed again, and kicked the sentry: "Going back this time, you all go to the military academy for me!"

Looking around, he saw that part of the cavalry of Cheng Pu's army had come out of the city gate, and the enemy from the west had also approached more than a hundred steps forward. He immediately looked solemn and shouted: "Our reinforcements have arrived. However, when Cheng Pu's army came out of the city, it happened to be sent to death. There is only one thing, don't let them form an formation!"

"Guo Duwei, you can lead 500 troops around the city gate to harass Cheng Pu's army when they leave the city. You must not make them form an formation. If there are other people, you should follow me to the west and charge for a while. As long as you can Their formation has also been disrupted. Although there are many incoming enemies, to my reinforcements, they are nothing more than a piece of meat on the table, let me slaughter them!"

Everyone accepts orders.All the way to harass the city gate, all the way to the west.

The field field is open, and the advantages of Cheng Pu's army's large number of troops can be displayed immediately. The general and school leading the team waved the military flag and divided his subordinates into three teams. up the middle.

Gu Jian and the others were exhausted, and the battle lasted for a while, and people fell off their horses one after another. Although Gu Jian was brave, he had no choice but to run out of strength, and gradually became unable to support him. At this critical moment, on the noisy and chaotic battlefield, he suddenly felt to the ground shaking.

For a while, both the enemy and the enemy subconsciously looked at the same time, only to see a red military flag flying in the distance, and a black torrent approaching the county seat!
Through the gaps in the enemy's army formation, the ancient sword can see clearly. On the army flag, there is a big character "dragon, flying and phoenix dancing", with silver hooks and iron paintings, which is exactly the word "Wei".

"Wei"

Gu Jian was stunned, but before he could react immediately, he saw that among the enemies surrounding them, some who knew how to read were the first to exclaim: "Wei Yan!"

First one or two people, then one or 20 people, then hundreds of people, and finally, thousands of people shouted at the same time: "The reinforcements of the Yellow Turbans are led by Wei Yan!"

In the early days, Wei Yan had repeatedly rushed to the battle under the city of Shu County, defeating Sun Jun's general Han Dang. His name Cheng Pujun was even more familiar than his colleague Gu Jian. Even in Yangzhou alone, the most famous person at this time Apart from Huang Zhong, there is Wei Yan, even better than Xu Fang, Wu Sheng and others.

Therefore, seeing him coming, the morale of Cheng Pu's army fell.

Seeing that the reinforcements finally arrived, Gu Jian heaved a sigh of relief, his heart still hadn't dropped yet, he only heard the hooves of the horses thundering from the north, and another big army horse was coming, he turned his head to look, this time he finally recognized the enemy before him, he couldn't help but He cursed secretly: "Damn it, these northern barbarians are finally here!"

The general who came from the east was Jiang Qi, the chief general of the Jizhou Army.

Two reinforcements appeared one after another, and the morale of Cheng Pu's army fell again. They fell into the bottom and lost their fighting spirit. The first time the two sides fought, they quickly fell to the bottom. The general who led the team turned the horses, withdrew from the siege, led the soldiers and left.

"Don't let them go."

Gu Jian hurriedly shouted, he still has some energy left, but his subordinates are exhausted and their mounts have no strength, so he wants allies to stop him, since Jiang Cheng's defenders have been drawn out, he must not let them go.

"Don't worry, they can't leave!"

Wei Yan drove his horse and rushed to him, but he didn't dismount, just shook his whip, glanced at Gu Jian and said with a smile: "Brother Gu did well in today's battle." He took off the water bag, threw it to Gu Jian, and said proudly, " Let's rest now and watch how I kill the enemy!"

With an understatement, he ignored the ancient sword and drove the horse and led the team to chase westward.

"What's so crazy about a surrendering general?" Seeing Wei Yan being so arrogant, Gu Jian didn't say anything, but the lieutenant beside him was very dissatisfied.

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Jian waved his hand to cut him off: "If Wei Xiaowei hadn't arrived in time, hey, this group of northern barbarians might not show their faces yet!"

"The captain said." The lieutenant was startled when he heard the words, and immediately reacted, furious: "The Jizhou army is just nearby, but they just sit and watch us fall into siege?" "

"Otherwise, why haven't they been seen before, and they appeared as soon as Wei Yan came?"

Gu Jian glanced lightly at Wei Yan in the distance, and then turned to look at the Jizhou army on the other side, who was like a tiger running into a flock of sheep, with a cold light in his eyes, "At present, we need this group of northern barbarians to capture the cities of Wu County, and this account is temporarily recorded." Next, we will do the liquidation later!"

"Yes!"

Needless to say, the subsequent battle was almost one-sided. When the battlefield was to be cleared, the three generals gathered together.

"Both Qu'a and Jiang Cheng have soldiers and horses leaving the city, and we have already wiped them out." Gu Jian asked first, "I don't know what to do next?"

Jiang Qi on the side also laughed and said: "This time, the major general has a strict order, and we have the right to cooperate. We only need to obey General Wang Zhoumu. Captain Wei, I wonder if he has a military order?"

"My lord's military order has been issued."

Glancing at Jiang Qi, Wei Yan said indifferently: "The command of the frontline battalion is to attack Qu'a, Jurong, and the cities of Danyang at the same time today. They are here to be the vanguard of this road, now that we have wiped out Cheng Pu's army who left the city, the next step is of course to go to Qu'a."

Then he said to Gu Jian: "Lieutenant Gu has had a lot of hard work this time, and his subordinates have suffered a lot. Why don't you take your headquarters back to the camp to rest." "

Gu Jian frowned slightly when he heard the words, I am of the same rank, and it is your turn to decide whether I will participate or not?
Besides, returning to the camp to repair now, wouldn't it mean that he would not be able to participate in the next capture of Qu'a?How could he agree!

However, Wei Yan had just rushed to help after all, so it counted as helping his family, Gu Jian couldn't refute directly, so after thinking for a while, he said: "Lieutenant Wei, I have a plan, I can definitely overcome Qu'a quickly!"

"Oh?"

Before Wei Yan could speak, Jiang Qi asked first, "What's the plan?"

Gu Jian was calm and said a few words.Everyone was startled when they heard this, and then cheered in unison.
