It had been a whole morning since the siege of Wei Yan's camp, but Zhou Yu still hadn't made much progress.
Zhou Yu, who felt unhappy, had to order the army to rest temporarily and continue the attack in the afternoon.
At this time, the south gate of E City opened, and Kou Feng led more than a hundred soldiers out of the gate and rushed toward the walled city where Wei Yan was.
Ling Tongtong saw that this guy actually dared to lead so few people to the rescue. He was very happy at that time. Without hesitation, he directly commanded the army to surround Kou Feng.
As a result, before Ling Tong's army could approach Kou Feng, Kou Feng instantly directed his troops to turn around and fled back to the city.
Ling Tong was stunned, but when the attacking soldiers saw that their opponent had run away, there was no need to be polite and they quickly chased after him.
As a result, before they could catch up even two steps, they were hit by a series of crossbows and bows and arrows on the walls of E city, causing more than thirty casualties in one fell swoop.
If Ling Tong hadn't ordered quickly, the losses would have been even greater!
Ling Tong was so angry that he yelled in the direction of the city gate. But unfortunately, Kou Feng couldn't hear him.
After scolding, Ling Tong calmed down and began to analyze Kou Feng's intentions.
Rescue? !
This is impossible. With just a few people, who can we go out to save? !
But if it's not rescue, then what's the purpose? Could it be that he wants to lure his soldiers closer to the city wall, and then kill them with crossbows and bows and arrows? ?
Is this too short-sighted? !
Ling Tong couldn't figure it out, but he knew that his military order mission was to prevent the E city defenders from leaving the city to rescue the camp, so for the time being, he did not care about the opponent's purpose. As long as he came out, he would lead his troops to stop them.
In the afternoon, when Jiangdong's army began to besiege Wei Yan's camp again, Kou Feng rushed out from the south gate of E city again, and this time, Kou Feng brought about two hundred people.
Ling Tong was still puzzled. This guy brought more people with him this time. Could it be that he went back the first time because he thought he had too few people with him? !
But even so. Facing your own five thousand people, does it make any difference whether you take one hundred people or two hundred people out of the city? !
Ling Tong still calmly commanded the soldiers to intercept. This time Kou Feng did have a brief battle with Jiangdong's army, but they only had a face-to-face encounter and began to command the soldiers to retreat within the time of touching a stick of incense.
Ling Tongjun still subconsciously chased. This time they fought, and they were very close. As long as you chase closely, you can't shoot arrows on the tower with your own family members.
Ling Tong thought well, but Ling Tong really didn't expect that the bed crossbows and arrows upstairs directly passed over Ling Tong's front army and shot Ling Tong's rear army.
Ling Tong's front army was also unlucky. As soon as he fired an arrow from the city tower, Kou Feng immediately led his soldiers to fight back. At the same time, the south gate of Hubei City opened again, and four to five hundred city guards rushed out.
Ling Tongyi saw this situation and immediately knew that he had fallen into a trap.
He deliberately stepped forward to rescue him, but was blocked by crossbows and bows and arrows, and could not rush through for a while. The level of land warfare of Jiangdong Navy also made Ling Tong feel embarrassed at this moment. There were four to five hundred people in the front army, but there were no If they persisted for as long as one stick of incense, they were killed and dispersed.
The terrible thing is that Kou Feng didn't pursue him at all. He didn't care as long as Jiangdong's army scattered and fled. Instead, he turned around with peace of mind and retreated into the city.
This time Kou Feng attacked, causing Ling Tong to lose face and gradually lose his composure.
Now Ling Tong was only in his early twenties, and it was the time when the young general was very proud of himself. Some time ago, he had successfully marched, killed Zhang Shuo, and led his elite troops to break through the enemy. Ling Tong felt that he was somewhat of a figure.
As a result, I was teased twice in a row by an unknown general at the south gate of Hubei City today.
The casualties were not too great. There were over a hundred casualties, which was not a big deal for a general who commanded five thousand men.
However, he was lured to the city gate twice by local authorities and was shot with crossbows. His soldiers were easily killed by the opponent. This made Ling Tong feel humiliated that he was being played.
Therefore, when Kou Feng led more than 500 men to fight for the third time, Ling Tong directly ordered his soldiers to retreat.
First, lure this guy out and away from the city gate, so that even if he wants to escape, he won't be able to get within the range of the crossbow for a while.
As long as this thing comes out, the rest will be up to him, Ling Tong.
Kou Feng did not disappoint Ling Tong. He led a team of 500 people, gradually moving away from the city wall and heading towards Wei Yan's camp.
Ling Tong calculated the distance and found that Kou Feng was already very far away from the city gate. Without saying a word, he immediately ordered his soldiers to attack, preparing to surround Kou Feng.
But just when Ling Tong had just given the order and the soldiers had just begun to take action, Kou Feng's main attack direction suddenly changed and he came towards Ling Tong's general flag.
Ling Tong was slightly stunned at that time, but then he was also ecstatic.
He is not an idiot, and he still protects his Chinese army very closely.
Moreover, Kou Feng's coming like this is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.
As long as Ling Tong's central army withstood Kou Feng's attack, and the front army only needed to outflank Kou Feng with two wings, they could easily surround Kou Feng's 500 men.
Ling Tong felt that Kou Feng was seeking his own death, because Ling Tong's Chinese army was an elite group of hundreds of battles left to him by his father Ling Cao, and they were very famous in Jiangdong. When he defended his formation, he killed Zhang Shuo and almost killed Chen. That's right, these are the elites who have fought in hundreds of battles.
In Ling Tong's view, these elite troops of his could defeat the Jingzhou Army on the water, and of course there would be no problem on land.
But Ling Tong miscalculated and was dumbfounded.
The elite soldier his father left to him was actually killed by a group of soldiers from the Jingzhou Army armed with strange weapons, and a hole was opened, and the hole was directed at him.
When Ling Tong saw these soldiers, he immediately thought of the strange group of soldiers who had attacked Chen Jiumeng. But at that time, Ling Tong clearly remembered that his own elite soldiers were 50-50 equal to the opponent's.
Why are you so powerful now and come right in? !
Ling Tong was a little stunned, but the guards around Ling Tong didn't dare to be stunned at all. Instead, they desperately moved closer to Ling Tong. Seeing that Kou Feng's soldiers were less than fifty or sixty steps away from Ling Tong, the guards Unable to bear it anymore, he directly dragged Ling Tong back and asked him to leave this dangerous place quickly.
Ling Tong didn't want to leave. He knew that if his general's flag retreated, the soldiers under his command would think something had happened to the general and become panicked.
But Ling Tong couldn't persist at all.
On the one hand, the personal guards were dragging him, and he couldn't resist it alone.
On the other hand, in such a little time of hesitation, the enemy had already reached a place thirty steps away from him.
This distance is basically equivalent to face to face. As long as the opponent shoots a round of bows and arrows, Ling Tong will not be able to escape intact even if he is protected by personal guards.
Ling Tong had no choice but to retreat while commanding his soldiers to move closer to him. Even if he retreated, the intruding Jingzhou army would not be able to go back.
But after all, Ling Tong was young and inexperienced in leading troops. He did not expect the chain reaction caused by retreating the flag, nor did he expect that Kou Feng's purpose was not to fight him desperately.
When he saw Ling Tong retreating, Kou Feng immediately shouted "The enemy general is dead", and then asked his soldiers to shout this. After causing a commotion in Ling Tong's army, he turned towards Wei Yan's camp and killed him. past.
When Ling Tong's army heard the news that their general had died in battle, everyone was extremely surprised. When they saw that Ling Tong's general's flag was still on the battlefield, it was retreating, and they suddenly fell into panic.
Don't expect soldiers of this era to be very organized and disciplined. Once the general is killed in battle, there are many cases of soldiers fleeing.
Now that Ling Tong has withdrawn his flag and his life and death are unknown, it is simply unrealistic for Ling Tong's army to organize itself to stop the encirclement and killing of Kou Feng.
Kou Feng also took advantage of this opportunity to break through the siege of Ling Tong's army and charged towards Wei Yan's camp, which was also the direction of Zhou Yu's rear army.
Zhou Yu naturally noticed Kou Feng's small force, but Zhou Yu really didn't expect that this force could break through Ling Tong's interception and actually come towards him.
The purpose, needless to say, must be to support the friendly troops in the camp.
Zhou Yu was surprised by Kou Feng's performance and once again lamented that it was not that Jingzhou had no talents, but that Liu Jingsheng did not know how to use talents.
But on the other hand, Zhou Yu didn't intend to let Kou Feng kill him directly.
Zhou Yu was surprised to be able to kill Ling Tongjun, but it was too fanciful to save just a few people under his command.
Zhou Yu did not move the front army that was besieging the camp, and directly ordered Gan Ning, who was defending the rear army, to send troops to intercept the team of several hundred people.
Zhou Yu had considerable trust in Gan Ning's ability. He was a strong general who was skilled in both land and water. His Jinfan army were all desperadoes. It was not difficult for Gan Ning to fight for his life.
After Gan Ning received the order, he immediately began to close up his formation and took back all the soldiers who had been scattered to guard, preparing to give Kou Feng a bloody blow.
But what Gan Ning didn't expect was that when Kou Feng was almost a stone's throw away from him, he suddenly turned around and ran towards the E County city wall.
Gan Ning was confused for a moment, but he was afraid that Kou Feng was trying to fight back Ling Tong, so he did not dare to pursue him and continued to maintain a closed defensive formation.
At this time, the east gate of Hubei City opened.
Zhang Xi personally led 300 people, quietly set off along the tidal flats along the river outside E County, and rushed towards Wei Yan's camp.
At the same time, billowing smoke was burning on the tower in the southeast corner of Hubei City.
