The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 348 Du Yu fights again in the matter of Western Xinjiang

At the beginning of the new year, the situation in the Han Dynasty was treacherous. The rebels in the two states were different from the small fights in the Kanto region and the mob in Guangdong.

All of a sudden, the garrisons in the two states were defeated steadily, and tens of thousands of civilians were engulfed as hostages, so that the new army did not dare to attack with all its strength, and the war fell into a stalemate.

Yuan Hongyang was the leader of this rebel army, and he proclaimed himself a general. According to the investigation, he was a side branch of the Yuan family.Of course, it is more likely to be a fake identity. After all, the Yuan family was killed by the Gongsun family and the Cao family very cleanly.

Jizhou was originally Yuan Shao's lair at that time, and he had close contacts with the local aristocratic families, and there was some affection. They also needed someone with prestige to show their banner.

"This Yuan thief is really hateful. He even coerced the people to help them attack the city." Hao Zheng, the prefect of Zhongshan County, said angrily.

Seeing that the people had already mixed with the rebels and approached the moat, they did not dare to attack with artillery. Once they accidentally injured the people, the court would be infamous among the people in the two states for killing the people.

It is difficult to suppress the rebels with artillery simply by relying on muskets. Seeing that the city gate has been crumbled by the artillery bombs.He and guard Hong Cheng had no choice for a while.

The new army had set out from Changshan and went straight to Zhuojun where Yuan Hongyang was located.Originally, they only needed to rely on the strong city to defend here, and after the new army broke through Zhuojun, they could return to help and wipe out the main force of the rebel army.

However, the rebels took a large number of people to attack the city and disrupted their plan. Baoding has been captured by them, and both the defender and the prefect have died in battle.

The rebels conscripted tens of thousands of troops in the city. Although their combat power was not strong, they couldn't stand the crowd.The main force of the rebel army also has nearly [-] people. With the power of firearms, the garrison does not have much advantage.

The rebel army under the city was led by Zhang Ling, a brave general who had participated in the melee of the princes.Hong Cheng sent someone to assassinate him, but failed.

"General Hong, it's not an option to go on like this. We have to think of a way to break the situation, otherwise if Zhongshan is lost, the new army will be in danger." Hao Zheng said anxiously.

Guard Hong Cheng thought about it, but couldn't think of any solution.Just when they were at a loss, they saw that the rear of the rebel army was in chaos, the camp was full of flames, and the sound of killing was loud.

"Have reinforcements arrived?" Hao Zheng asked.

Hong Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know about the last general, I haven't received any news of reinforcements."

"Rely on the reinforcements to defeat this group of rebels, and solve the siege of Zhongshan, and then think of a way!" Hao Zheng shook his head helplessly. Even if reinforcements arrived to beat back the rebels, it would be difficult to solve the death of the rebels engulfing the people in attacking the city. Bureau.

After a while, Hao Zheng and Hong Chengcheng saw countless cavalry soldiers appearing on the hillside in the distance. Under the banner of the new army, they roared towards the rebel army. The number of them was tens of thousands, and they surrounded the rebel army.

"Didn't the new army go to Zhuojun?" Hong Cheng looked at Hao Zheng and asked, "Why are you back?"

Hao Zheng also didn't know what was going on at this time, and asked with a confused face: "Shall we go out of the city to help?"

Hong Cheng nodded, and asked his men to mobilize the cavalry to go out of the city to help.

Du Yu took a deep breath and finally arrived.Du Yu, who had enjoyed fighting in the Xiongnu, received an order from the imperial military department half a month ago, asking him to lead the new army and most of the soldiers of the Hun general to Jizhou for reinforcements.

After entering Jizhou, Du Yu sent out scouts to investigate everywhere.Finally discovered that the main force of the rebel army was attacking Zhongshan, and immediately led his Jingqi to Zhongshan. Fortunately, Zhongshan had not yet broken through the city.

At this time, the rebels were surrounded. Du Yu was not Hao Zheng who was in the city and Hong Cheng who led his army. He directly ordered people to set up mortars and start bombarding.

The rebels wanted to break out, but were repulsed by his men.At this time, they could only huddle in the camp to resist, and the people were pushed to the front row. Du Yu ordered his men to stop shooting, and shouted to the camp: "People, run. I will start shooting indiscriminately next time, run away." Get up and maybe you'll survive."

The people looked at each other in blank dismay, how come there is a general who is on the same level as the rebels.Look at the rebels staring at the back, don't move quickly.

I don't know who shouted: "Run, they will kill us and there will be no extra ammunition to fight against the officers and soldiers."

The few people in the front row ran away, mobilizing a large number of people.After the rebels shot and killed some people, Zhang Ling told them to stop shooting and save ammunition to break out.

The combat effectiveness of this official army is too strong, far from being comparable to that of the local garrison.He was going to gather his veterans to break out to the southwest and let others attract the firepower.

The people ran through the opening left by Du Yu's army. Hao Zheng had asked the defenders in the city to meet them and brought them all into the city.

The rebel camp fired wildly from inside to outside. Zhang Ling rode a horse and went straight to the southwest under the guard of his own soldiers.

Du Yu saw this scene on the hillside, and angrily led his guards to chase after him.His central army is all elite soldiers under the command of the Hun General, who have fought against the Hun cavalry for several years, so their skills on horseback are naturally not bad.

"Don't let them run away!" Du Yu shouted while running.

The cavalry beside them accelerated suddenly, and soon fought with the soldiers led by Zhang Ling.Zhang Ling's personal soldiers fought back and forth with the new army, and for a while the two sides were on par.

The rebels, who had no horses, followed Zhang Ling not far away, and were beaten back to the camp by the new army who came up.The morale in the camp was low at this time, and the main generals ran away. There was no point in their stubborn resistance except to be killed.

Seeing that the encirclement was gradually shrinking, and their ammunition was about to run out, some people wanted to surrender, but were killed by people close to Zhang Ling, who ordered them to continue fighting the government army.

Zhang Ling saw Du Yu running towards him holding a musket, so frightened, he hurriedly turned and shot him.His skills on horseback are not bad, he has a good knife and is also a strong general, but he is still not good at muskets, and it is difficult to hit the target accurately on horseback.

The bullets fired flew past Du Yu's arm and shot down a cavalryman behind Du Yu.Du Yu also raised his gun, held the gun barrel with his left arm, and aimed at Zhang Ling.

His marksmanship was better than Zhang Ling's. It was not at 01:30. A shot hit Zhang Ling's shoulder, and the burning pain hit him, and Zhang Ling almost fell off his horse.

He didn't dare to stop, so he had to grit his teeth and continue running forward. Du Yu wanted to chase after him, so he killed a cavalry from the forest and fought with Du Yu and the others.

Du Yu couldn't continue to pursue and could only watch Zhang Ling run away.

At this time, Du Yu's scouts also caught up, and quickly wiped out the rebels.Du Yu asked the cavalry to chase Zhang Ling, and returned to the battlefield with his own soldiers. He wanted to get rid of the rebels.
