NOVEL NEXT Chapter 85 - ambush
It took only ten days since we set off from Hanyang City on March 15th in the early summer and arrived thirty miles away from Hanyang City with King Mo’s army of 80,000.
At sunset on the twenty-fifth of March.
For the first time, Xiao Mubai ordered to camp in place and take a good rest.
He led a few generals in a small circle, discussing tactics on the side.
Although Xia Chu didn’t understand, he listened carefully.
Just when he heard Xiao Mubai’s proposal to arrange for someone to bring the news in and join forces to attack both inside and outside the city, Xia Chu was about to propose himself when he heard a familiar eagle chirping.
Xia Chu’s heart throbbed.
The edge is coming…
Xia Chu stabilized his mind, and just got up, he saw Han Sa rushing out like an arrow from the string.
He hurriedly said to Xiao Mubai, “My people.”
After Xiao Mubai heard this, he shouted in Han Sa’s direction, “Come back.”
Han Sa fell in response and stepped aside.
Xia Chu thought for a while, and Fu Er said to Xiao Mubai, “That’s my dark guard. There should be some news from the city to report back. Do you want to listen to it together?”
Since Xiao Mubai showed a hint of interest last time, but he was not satisfied by Xia Chu, he has not paid attention to him in the past two days.
Until this moment, Xiao Mubai’s face softened for two points, nodded, and ordered the generals to discuss first, then got up and followed Xia Chu to the dense forest.
When there was no one around, Xia Chu said softly, “Come down, now His Highness King Mo is no longer an outsider.”
Although Bian Ding was reluctant, he jumped down immediately.
He raised his hand in the direction of Xia Chu and King Mo, and bowed to King Mo.
“How is it in the city?” Xia Chu asked straight to the point.
“The city is not broken, young master, don’t worry.” Bian Ding first made up his mind, then stretched out his hand to remove the water bladder from Xia Chu’s waist, and after drinking it, he continued to elaborate on what had happened in the past ten days. matter.
It had been two days before Bian Ding received the letter that Hu Jun had camped five hundred miles away.
Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu led people to dig the horse trap, and asked the Zhao family’s army to retreat and continue to dig traps three hundred miles away.
Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu, with a thousand Qingcheng guards, ambushed on both sides, waiting for a direct assault.
It didn’t take long for Hu Jun’s forward cavalry to gallop into the horse trap.
The horse’s leg was broken on the spot, and the cavalry were thrown away by inertia.
The general of Hu Junli, Duan Ganguanshi, ordered to stop the advance and check for traps.
At this time, Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu rushed out from both sides of the road, each with 500 people, and fought against Hu Jun who was investigating.
Duan Ganguanshi was about to give an order when Bian Ding drew his sword from the tree and stabbed it out.
The sword is like a white snake spitting out letters, hissing and breaking the wind, and it is like a wandering dragon, walking on four sides.
The edge is as light as a swallow at a certain time, and the sword rises, and sometimes it is as sudden as lightning, and the fallen leaves fall.
For a time, silver lights appeared frequently on the outskirts of Hanyang.
A radius of ten miles.
Hu people, blood flows into rivers.
After Bian Ding took the lead and left, Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu also retreated decisively, not fighting.
This blow, with a thousand commandos, killed more than 5,000 Hu Jun in a moment of lightning and flint.
Of course, Bian Ding blocked Duan Ganguanshi’s order in time, so that Hu Jun didn’t fight back immediately, which was a great contribution.
On the morning of March 17, Hu Jun, as expected at the beginning of Xia, changed his position to the infantry vanguard. He walked with extreme caution when he reached 300 li, but was suddenly attacked by hanging logs and wooden forks on both sides of the road. With inertia, he bumped into the people around him.
The scene suddenly became a mess.
At this time, Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu brought the assault team to fight from both sides, and Bian Ding also came from the forest.
Duan Ganguanshi had a long memory this time. Although he ordered Hu Jun to counterattack early in the morning, and there were also Hu masters who came out to fight, he was still harassed by Bian Ding from time to time, making him embarrassed.
After Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu killed for a while, they ordered to retreat.
Bian Ding also jumped slightly and disappeared without a trace.
This blow killed more than 4,000 Hu soldiers.
On the afternoon of March 18, Hu Jun tremblingly walked two hundred miles away, carefully checked and moved forward, forming a semi-circular queue, walking slowly.
But ten miles, it took half a day.
After Hu Jun was sure that there was no ambush, he marched at full speed for another hour. At this time, it was dark and he had to camp again.
At sunset on March 19th, Hu Jun walked safely along the way.
Duan Ganguanshi ordered to move forward at full speed, and when he traveled a hundred miles away, he and his horse fell into the biggest trap.
The screams came one after another, Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu each led a thousand people, outflanking from both sides, and Bian Ding also became fierce, not like the previous fighting Duan Gan Guanshi.
Zhaozhao with killing intent, kill whoever you meet.
He was covered in blood at the moment, as if Shura appeared, and where the tip of the sword pointed, there were corpses everywhere, and no one survived.
Zhao Xingwen watched Hu Jun gradually form a siege situation, shouted to retreat, and pulled the rising Bian Ding to retreat.
This blow killed more than 8,000 Hu troops.
By the time Hu Jun’s army finally reached the foot of Hanyang City at Chen Shi on March 21, they had already lost nearly 20,000 troops.
Duan Gan was not able to see the stone qi, and ordered the siege of Hanyang City to begin immediately.
In order to show his combat prowess, Hu Jun surrounded Han Yang for more than ten floors and set up more than 100 military camps.
Hu Jun dug tunnels, attacked the city with rams and boxcars, and concentrated all the machine crossbows to shoot wildly into the city, the arrows pouring out like rainwater. The defenders in the city could not go out at all, and even when they went out to fetch water, they had to put their heads on the door to prevent arrows.
Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu also led Qingcheng’s defenders, who were divided on both sides of the city towers, and used bows and arrows to fight back.
At this time, Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu discovered that the bows and arrows carried out from the warehouse broke when they were pulled, and the bows and crossbows were all split in half and could not be used at all.
The two looked at each other, their hearts became cold, and they didn’t have time to ask more questions. They quickly ordered to push down the boulders and hot oil that had been prepared earlier, and changed them to holding swords, spears and swords to defend against the enemy.
Just as they fought **** battles for two hours, thinking that this was an extremely difficult time, Zhao Shuangquan suddenly discovered that Hu Jun had also appeared on the mountain behind the camp.
how is this possible?
The soldiers and civilians in the whole city were all terrified. The back mountain had not always been equipped with a formation, and others could not step in at all. How could so many Hu troops have gathered in such a short period of time.
Zhao Shuangquan summoned Deng Qizhong to ask questions, how did Deng Qizhong know.
Since the last time he visited the mountain and fell into a coma from the mountain, the matter has been handed over to others to follow up.
One by one, they searched for the mountain patrol captain who was going to take over, but found that this man was gone!
At this time, the situation was critical, and there was no time to search for the captain. Zhao Shuangquan divided a part of the defending army at the back mountain to prepare to meet the enemy.
This tragic battle lasted for a whole day, and only after the night fell, there was a slight respite.
