"My lord has an order to capture Zhang Wenyuan alive, and no cold arrows are allowed."
"My lord has an order to capture Zhang Wenyuan alive, and no cold arrows are allowed."
"My lord has an order to capture Zhang Wenyuan alive, and no cold arrows are allowed."
The long sound came from far to near, and the Jiangdong soldiers who were besieging the mountain were stunned. Their individual soldier ability was not as good as Cao's army, and not being allowed to fire cold arrows simply made it more difficult.
Zhang Liao's death squad had no worries, but during the breakout process, 800 of them were cut off by Jiangdong's army. The enemy planned to use group fighting tactics to separate and tire Cao's army.
Seeing that the encirclement was getting tighter, Zhang Liao hurriedly directed his troops to rush left and right first, and then he brandished his sword and sprinted forward.
Although Cao's soldiers were surrounded, their morale was high. The more they fought, the more they fought bravely and appeared to be more energetic than Jiangdong's soldiers. Especially Zhang Liao was not tired after fighting for so long. He led a team of people to tear open the hole and finally successfully broke out of the encirclement.
Sun Quan looked extremely disappointed from the top of the mountain. He hit his right fist on the palm of his left hand and said with great regret: "What's going on? Can't we stop this?"
"Lord, don't worry, Zhang Liao is back again." Lu Meng pointed at the foot of the mountain and reminded.
Sun Quan opened his eyes and watched carefully, and found that Zhang Liao had indeed rushed into the encirclement again. He wondered if there was something wrong with this guy's brain, right? Create a chance to survive and not run away?
It turned out that Zhang Liao and dozens of cavalry had broken out of the encirclement, but most of the eight hundred death squads were still surrounded. At this time, a tragic cry came from the formation:
"General Zhang, where are you?"
"General Zhang, are you going to abandon us?"
"General Zhang will take us home."
Zhang Liao felt extremely sad when he heard this. He turned around, pointed the tip of his sword at Jiangdong soldiers and shouted: "It's rare to encounter an army as weak as a flock of sheep. Come out with me and have a good fight. Let's all come out together." Let’s go back together.”
The dead soldiers behind him heard that they were extremely heroic. They surrounded Zhang Liao and charged into the enemy's formation again. Cao Jun's momentum of risking his own life completely overwhelmed the fear of Jiangdong soldiers.
When the eight hundred dead soldiers reunited, their fighting power was even greater than before, charging around like a lion fighting a rabbit.
The besieged beasts will burst out with greater strength, and they will easily be fatally injured if they are not careful. These Jiangdong private soldiers have their own plans and do not dare to step forward. These emotions gradually form into an army, and soon they collapse like a destructive force.
One hundred thousand people were chased and killed by Zhang Liao's 800 Cao troops. On the way to defeat, the army was crushed by chariots and horses, killing and injuring countless people. The Jiangdong soldiers, who were still crying for their fathers and mothers, held their breath when they heard Zhang Liao's roar from behind.
Seeing that the situation was over, everyone on the mountain retreated with the defeated army under the protection of the tiger soldiers under the carriage, and finally retreated to the village fifty miles away from the city.
Sun Quan achieved a hundred thousand names. Although he was severely humiliated by Zhang Liao, he figured out one thing. This kind of large-scale war was too difficult for private soldiers to control. He went back and wanted to form his own army this time, just to give him peace of mind. Like a tiger under the car, he is completely under his control.
Previously, the Jiangdong Navy besieged Cao Cao in Chaohu. Sun Quan saw the terror of Xu Chu's Tiger Guard on the isolated island, so after returning to Jiangdong, he imitated the Tiger Guard and formed a Chariot Hushi. If they hadn't fought hard to resist this time, he might have been defeated by Zhang Liao. captured.
The battle lasted from dawn to noon, and the soldiers in Jiangdong were exhausted. Zhang Liao then led his army back to the city to rest. Li Dian, Le Jin and other Hefei defenders were convinced by Zhang Liao.
At the celebration banquet, Le Jin took the initiative to raise a glass of congratulations: "General Zhang, this battle is enough to leave a mark in history. The victory in the first battle has greatly boosted the morale of the army in the city. Everyone is very confident in defending the city. Please drink this glass to the full."
Zhang Liao raised his glass and responded: "This battle depends entirely on the strength of the soldiers. Zhang Liao dare not take the credit alone."
"I have sent people to Hanzhong to deliver the message. All the eight hundred soldiers have contributed today. General Zhang does not need to worry." Le Jin comforted.
Zhang Liao nodded in affirmation: "The fallen soldiers should be given more gold and silver rewards. It is best to arrange them in the next few days. In addition, after this battle, Sun Quan should know that Hefei is difficult to bully, and his ragtag group of people will not be able to accomplish anything in a short time."
Li Dian added: "As long as the soldiers in the city work together, even if General Zhang is not in danger today, it will not be easy for Sun Quan to capture Hefei."
During the reign of Liu Fu, the former governor of Yangzhou, the city walls of Hefei were built high and strong, and all kinds of wood and stone defense equipment were very sufficient. It would be difficult for Sun Quan to attack even with 100,000 people.
"It's better not to be careless. The sentinel will be handed over to General Li." Zhang Liao ordered.
"Wei." Li Dian stood up and clasped his fists.
Le Jin was particularly surprised when he saw the scene in front of him. Zhang Liao's personality charm actually impressed his enemies. When he thought about today's battle, he felt extremely dangerous and thought that Zhang Liao should be treated like this.
The troops in Jiangdong were unfavorable in their deployment. After being defeated for a while, Sun Quan set up camp and ordered each department to count the number of people. He got two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
The good news is that only a few thousand soldiers were lost in this battle. The bad news is that the morale of each battalion fell to the bottom.
The bodies of the dead soldiers were neatly arranged outside the camp, including the body of General Chen Wu. The soldiers in each camp put on plain clothes and mourned all day long. Sun Quan sighed endlessly several times when he went to pay homage.
Lu Meng went to Sun Quan to advise him: "My lord, Cao Cao's main force is in Hanzhong. Even if he knew Hefei was in danger, it would be impossible to save him. We must seize the opportunity to attack the city quickly, otherwise the opportunity will be fleeting."
Sun Quan smiled bitterly: "How can I not know that soldiers are valuable and quick? However, our army was cut off by Zhang Liao a few days ago. The morale of each battalion has fallen into the abyss, and we are really unable to organize an attack."
"It is an honor for a soldier to die in battle and to be shrouded in horse leather. If my lord does not burn the body on the spot, it must be returned to Jianye as soon as possible. Otherwise, staying one more day will increase the sorrow. You can also use this to boost morale." Lu Meng suggestion.
"How to cheer me up?" Sun Quan asked curiously, and when he looked at Lu Meng's eyes, he had an epiphany, and nodded quickly to express his understanding.
Early the next morning, Sun Quan summoned soldiers from all camps to the morgue.
The weather was cool after autumn, so the corpse did not emit a pungent smell.
Sun Quan climbed up to the high platform and looked around at the crowd, and said with great solemnity: "Lying on the ground are my beloved generals, as well as your comrades, relatives, and brothers. The so-called revenge and resentment, Hefei owes you the blood debt." Do you want to take revenge?"
"Want to take revenge"
"Kill Zhang Liao"
Lü Meng's people took the lead in shouting in coordination from behind, and then the tragic sounds could be heard one after another.
At this time, Sun Quan also forgot about his love for Zhang Liao, and instead became the object of immense hatred. The bad reputation on his back could not be washed away.
Sun Quan stretched out his hand to stop the sound and continued: "Huang Zu attacked and killed my father, so I not only killed Huang Zu, but also let the people of Jiangxia bury him with him. When we take Hefei, we will not leave any chickens or dogs behind.
Some people advised me to burn these Jiangdong soldiers who died in the war on the spot, but where will you come to pay homage? "
When Sun Quan paused, Lu Mengxin said that my lord is very eloquent, and he almost pulled me out to be a typical example of taking the blame?
"They are all men from Jiangdong and should be buried in their homeland, so I plan to send them back to Jianye for burial.
It will also be convenient for you to pay your respects to your relatives and friends after the war, so that everyone will have no worries, and you can work together to crack down on the hard nut of Hefei. "Sun Quan said in an angry tone.
