Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 576
After Liu Kai found out that Juchao County was occupied by foreign enemies, he realized why the messenger he had sent to Wan County did not respond.

But for the time being, he didn't worry much about Liu Xun in Wan County. After all, Liu Xun had more than 2 troops on his side, and he was already prepared to defend against the attack of Zhu Wei's army.

Liu Kai also thought that the foreign enemy on the Juchao side might be Zhu Wei who sneaked in from the Zongyang section of the Yangtze River to attack soldiers and horses. Otherwise, he didn't think that Zhu Wei's army could pass through the defense line arranged by his brother Liu Xun in the direction of Wan County so easily. .

However, on this day, someone suddenly reported that there was a messenger from Wan County, Liu Taishou, asking for help, and that Liu Xun's army had sent a report to Liu Kai, and Liu Kai also received the messenger immediately. .

Then the messenger took out a letter asking for help from Wan County, which was also stamped with the seal of the Lujiang Prefect. However, the letter had a more official tone, but there was no private message from Liu Xun to his younger brother Liu Kai.

The letter asking for help stated that Zhu Wei's army had surrounded Wan County, and [-] of Liu Xun's [-] troops were stationed outside Wan County, but they had been defeated by Zhu Wei's army.

Anyway, most of the contents of the request for help letter are true, basically telling about the plight of Wan County, and then asking Liu Kai to lead troops to help as soon as possible, hoping that after Liu Kai passes, the two brothers can join hands to resist Zhu Wei's army The siege continued until Shouchun and Yuan Shu's reinforcements arrived.

After Liu Kai read the letter, he couldn't help questioning the courier who came to deliver the letter, but this courier was selected by Zhu Wei's school office, and of course he had already prepared a response.

For example, he was not the only messenger who came out to ask for help this time, but after they arrived at Juchao from Wan County, they found that Juchao had been captured by Zhu Wei's army, so they had to take a detour, but they were still scouted by Zhu Weijun. They found out that they were intercepted and killed by Zhu Weizhi's scouts, and they tried their best to escape with their lives or something.

Some scars were intentionally made on the messenger, as if he was killed with all his might.

Then Liu Qie asked, still dubious, why there was no private message from Liu Xun to him, only such a public letter, and then asked about the war situation in Anhui County, the size of Zhu Wei's army, and other details.

But the courier pretended by the school office still answered fluently, only saying that he didn't know about the private letter, but maybe there was a private letter, but it was only on other messengers, but he was killed by the scouts of Zhu Weijun on the way.

As for the war in Wanxian County and the intelligence information of Zhu Wei's army, he also described them one by one according to the early drafts, and there were really no flaws.

In the end, Liu Kai believed the messenger's words, so he immediately summoned his civil and military officials, and discussed the matter of sending troops to rescue Wan County. First of all, of course, he wanted to capture Juchao County, which was occupied by Zhu Wei's army.

Almost a day later, Liu Kai left [-] soldiers to guard the city, and at the same time recruited more than [-] young and strong private soldiers from various local ethnic groups to help guard Shu County, and then personally led [-] troops to Juchao Xiang Xiang came over and prepared to rescue Liu Xun in Wan County.

Because he was worried about Liu Xun's situation in Wan County, Liu Kai led his troops to quickly kill Juchao County along the official road.

It's just that Liu Kai didn't expect his every move to be monitored by Zhu Wei through the map of the Three Kingdoms game system. Therefore, when Liu Kai's army arrived three miles away from Juchao County, Liu Kai's army discovered the official way. An army ahead blocked the way.

At this time, Liu Kai's nearly ten thousand troops also formed a long line on the official road, with soldiers rushing in front and logistics auxiliary soldiers in charge of transporting supplies at the rear. Liu Kai never expected that the enemy troops on Juchao's side would take the initiative to fight .

So in a section of the official road close to the river on the left and hills and forests on the right, about [-] to [-] soldiers and horses appeared in front of the road blocking the road.

Of course, Liu Kai didn't hit him head-on, but the scout vanguard he sent ahead discovered such an army blocking the way, and the banner they played was obviously that of the enemy Zhu Wei's side.

So Liu Kai hurriedly ordered the army to stop, and wanted to line up on the official road to find a suitable terrain to prepare for the battle, but it was a bit late by this time.

The army blocking Liu Kai's army of more than [-] people directly launched an attack on Liu Kai's side. Four to five thousand soldiers and horses, led by the two leading generals, rushed towards Liu Kai's army like a two-headed poisonous dragon.

Behind the two leading generals, two general flags fluttered in the air, one with the word "Pang" written on it, and the other with the word "Zhou" written on it. They were the two fierce generals Pang Yan and Zhou Tai.

At the same time, there was also the sound of gongs and drums in the hilly forest on the right side of the official road, and then the sound of shouts of killing sounded like a wave, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were seen rushing up the official road from the mountains and forests.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Feathered arrows and crossbow arrows followed the ambush and fell from mid-air on the heads of the densely packed Liu Kai soldiers on the official road. Liu Kai's army was completely trapped in the ambush of Zhu Wei's army.

"It's not easy to ambush! Withdraw, withdraw!"

Liu Xie was not a capable general at all, so he couldn't help but panic when he suddenly encountered an ambush, and hurriedly commanded the army to retreat, thinking about getting out of this ambush.

Liu Kai himself did not dare to go up to confront Pang Yan and Zhou Tai, but he turned his horse and fled back first. For a while, the army that was preparing for battle on the official road was disturbed by the actions of their chief general.

Even Liu Kai, the general, had fled. The other soldiers had no intention of resisting. They all wished their parents had extra legs, so they just ran away like a fool.

Almost before Zhu Wei's ambush entered Liu Kai's army, Liu Kai's more than ten thousand soldiers collapsed on their own, scattered into a mess on the official road about fifty paces wide.

But on the left side of the official road is the river, and on the right side is the ambush soldiers killed by Zhu Wei's army, so Liu Kai's soldiers had no other place to escape, so they could only turn around and run back, thinking that they could escape back to Shu County Head to base camp.

To be honest, with such a result, even Zhu Wei's many soldiers in ambush were a little stunned.

If Zhu Wei hadn't been very well prepared, some of the wise generals in Zhu Wei's army would have doubted whether this was Liu Qizhi's army's trick to lure the enemy. But in fact, everything was under Zhu Wei's supervision, so naturally there would have been no There are things like counter-ambushing and luring the enemy.

Then many generals directly ordered their soldiers to shout, "Don't kill those who surrender, don't kill those who surrender! Abandon weapons and kneel to the side of the road!"

For a while, the sound of calling for surrender spread all over the mountains and fields. Many Liu Kai's soldiers heard the sound and ran to the side of the road, abandoning their weapons and surrendering. This made it easier for Liu Kai to escape with three or four thousand soldiers.

In this way, Liu Kai took the remnants of these troops and fled to Shu County along the official road, which was a bit faster than their marching in the direction of Wan County and Juchao...
