Chapter 1024 The Last Elegy
Chapter 1024 The Last Elegy
Zhou Tai was surrounded, and he could barely keep calm, but his soldiers were extremely flustered and very nervous.
The archers above may attack at any time, once they attack, there will be a massacre.
Faced with such a situation, how could Zhou Tai's soldiers remain calm.
The scene was temporarily deadlocked.
The soldiers all looked at Zhou Tai, waiting for Zhou Tai's choice.
Surrender is certainly possible, but if it is a deadly battle, the battle may be dangerous.
Zhou Tai's mood was extremely complicated.
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Tai drew out his sword.
"Rush, go forward and kill."
It is impossible to retreat, at least temporarily.
Zhou Tai chose to go forward and kill.
This order was also Cao Jun's order.
The archers above fire immediately.
A large number of arrows slanted down, and Zhou Tai's army was massacred.
Zhou Tai understood that only by going forward can he have a chance.
"Throw."
Many soldiers threw their spears onto the roof and attacked the enemies above.
This is very effective. The archers stand densely, either being shot and killed, or falling backwards to avoid the spears.
No matter what, they couldn't continue to attack.
Cao Jun also launched an attack, and the two armies fought in the city.
The war lasted for a long time.
Zhou Tai led his soldiers back and forth, trying to get out.
But Cao Jun was well prepared and it was not that easy.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Tai went out from the city gate where he came from, but when he came, he had 50,000 troops, and when he returned, there were only more than 8,000 troops.
In this battle, casualties were serious.
Zhou Tai also had many injuries all over his body.
The city was once again under the control of Cao Jun.
General Cao Jun went to find Cheng Yu.
"Military division, your subordinates are useless, let Zhou Tai run away, and we still have a lot of losses."
Cheng Yu didn't say anything, and waved the general out.
"Hey, Zhou Tai is certainly brave. If I can get 20,000 more soldiers, I can force-land these Sun Jun tonight."
With such a result, Cheng Yu had expected that he would not have enough troops to separate Sun Jun. If there were enough soldiers and horses, the arrangement would be more complete.
Separate them, without unified leadership, it is easy to force them to land.
But there was no way, Cheng Yu didn't have enough troops.
Speaking of Jiang Qin, he set up an ambush, ready to ambush the supporting Cao army.
But he was copied from the back and was hunted down instead.
Finally he rushed out, but lost half of his troops.
Jiang Qin knew that their plan must have been exposed, so he rushed towards Zhou Tai.
In order not to be hunted down, Zhou Tai also rushed towards Jiang Qin.
On the way, the two met.
If you talk too much, you will cry, but both of them were ambushed.
"General Zhou, we have a master."
Zhou Tai was also very emotional after hearing Jiang Qin's words.
"Cao Jun has been prepared for a long time, everything is to lie to us to fight, I am afraid it is Lu'an City, our Lu'an City is in danger."
A large number of soldiers and horses have been lost, and the two of them can only flee now, so there is absolutely no way to defend such a small number of soldiers and horses.
Run towards the direction of the city.
"Two generals."
Suddenly, they came face to face with a soldier, or a remnant army.
Both Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were startled, they had already guessed something.
That's right.
Their Lu'an city was also breached,
It was the army they left in Lu'an City that came.
"Oh~"
Zhou Tai sighed heavily and said: "Let's go, let's go back directly and apologize to the lord."
He failed to regain the city and lost all his troops.
The two dared not delay, fearing that Cao Jun would kill them, so they hurried to the path and headed west.
The ones who attacked Jiang Qin and Lu'an City were Cao Jun's troops who attacked Hefei City.
Cheng Yu had been planning for a long time, and it was calculated that they would come to attack Shouchun City, so he sent troops to storm Hefei City every day, giving them the illusion that Shouchun City was empty.
The two were really fooled.
The fierce attack on Hefei City also had two purposes, to consume Zhang Yu's troops, and when they sent a part of the army to attack Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, the troops inside would not be able to rush out.
Cheng Yu deeply understands that it is not easy to control this area, even one of Zhang Yu's soldiers cannot be spared, if they escape, they will definitely fight against them in the next city.
"Jiangdong."
Cheng Yu murmured that although Sun Ce's troops were designed to rob Sun Ce and two cities were robbed, this area can be regarded as completely controlled.
But facing Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, Cheng Yu was still very worried.
"Next, storm Hefei City."
The two cities have already been controlled, and Cheng Yu will go there in person this time.
No more hiding your whereabouts.
He hid his whereabouts before to prevent Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin from raising their vigilance, so that they could be tricked out.
If Cheng Yu appeared, maybe the two of them would not dare to move.
It was very passive for them to fail to capture Lu'an City by then.
It has been captured, and the next step is Hefei City.
After a night of rest, Cao Jun outside Hefei launched a fierce attack again.
They consumed more than 8,000 soldiers in half a day.
However, in this way, the defense materials in the city were also exhausted.
There are rolling logs and stones inside, and even the arrows are all used up.
It can be seen how fierce the battle was.
Without supplies to defend the city, several generals couldn't bear to demolish the homes of the people.
In this way, soldiers can only fight hand to hand.
Cao Jun continued to climb the city wall and fight to the death on the city wall.
Several young generals died in battle one after another.
A day later, the defending army was left with more than eleven thousand people.
Several young generals were killed in the battle. Currently, only one leg was injured, and the young general who did not go to the city wall for the bloody battle is still alive.
"General, many people outside are going to defend together. If we mobilize, we can defend for another day." A commander came over and said.
The young general shook his head and looked at the several thousand and centurion commanders around him and said, "You send a thousand soldiers to go door-to-door to notify that after the city is broken, no one is allowed to come out, no one is allowed to embarrass Cao Jun, and let them keep the useful things." Tell them that fighting is our soldier's job."
"Let the people live a good life, and the lord will call back soon."
"Let them wait here for the lord."
Several people were moved.
"Okay, fighting is a matter for our soldiers, and it is also taught by the Lord. I will let them all go back."
A few people left, and went to act separately, while instructing the people, while preparing for the next day's battle.
Cao Jun outside the city is also preparing.
They will take the initiative to stop the attack today because they see that Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are dying.
The final battle is about to begin.
Jiangdong's soldiers went door-to-door to inform.
The people cried together.
During the years occupied by the Jiangdong army, they lived a very good life.
It was also very stable until the enemy came to attack this time.
Every time Zhang Yu goes to a place, he will develop a good military-civilian relationship. Whether the military-civilian relationship is good or not is also a focus of their investigation.
No matter how high the general's military ability is, if he doesn't treat the people well, Zhang Yu will not entrust him with important tasks.
