Chapter 432 Three crossings of the Jingshui River (Part 1)
At the gate of the east city, Cao Zhen rode in under the guard of a group of soldiers. General Wu Kun had been waiting for a long time and hurriedly stepped forward and called: "General."
"Well, you did a good job, how is the situation now?"
Wu Kun said: "The east wall has been completely occupied by our army. Most of the Shu army has been captured and killed by our army. Only one or two hundred people left."
"Very good. If you lead another thousand troops to capture the North Gate, it will only be a matter of time before I capture the East Gate and recapture Anling. Yang Qing must also know this very well. If this person escapes, he will definitely go through the North Gate.
.
You hurry up and block the Shu army's retreat. Tonight I will not only regain the city, but also capture Yang Qing, a giant bandit, in one fell swoop." Cao Zhen said excitedly.
Wu Kun answered yes and asked: "General, are you going here?"
"I will lead my troops to Nancheng and attack Yang Qing from both inside and outside with the troops outside the city," Cao Zhen said.
Wu Kun nodded and said: "General, I understand. I will lead the troops to kill Beicheng now. Although the battle situation is in favor of our army, we still ask the general to be careful. Don't take risks with your body of gold to prevent the Shu thieves from jumping over the wall."
, fight back on the verge of death.”
"Okay, I've written it down, go ahead." Cao Zhen was moved and replied with a smile.
After Wu Kun ordered all the soldiers and horses to leave, Cao Zhen left 500 soldiers to guard the east city, while he personally led the rest of the troops to kill the south city.
But what he didn't know was that the Han army in Nancheng was no longer in the city. About two-quarters of an hour ago, Yang Qing, fully dressed, personally led his troops and horses out of the south gate. At the same time, Liu Yin from the west city also opened the city gate.
Lead the army to attack.
The Wei army outside the city did not expect that the Han army would take the initiative to open the city gate and rush out. They were caught off guard and were killed and retreated one after another. The two Han armies did not divide their forces to attack the enemy in front, but rushed towards each other according to the predetermined plan.
I want to unite our troops and fight the enemy together.
"How is it possible? Even if the Shu army did not want to defend the city, they should have escaped from the North City. How could they take the initiative to fight out of the city? How dare they?" Dunn looked at the Han army pouring out from the west city gate with a shocked look on his face.
Wei shouted in confusion.
Seeing that the two Han armies were gradually converging, his lieutenant hurriedly shouted: "General, look, the Shu armies in the West City and South City want to gather together."
"You personally lead the troops to charge forward. You must stop the Shu army and never force them to join forces. The Shu army's combat power is low. They only gained the upper hand temporarily with a sudden attack. As time goes by, their power will be exhausted.
At that time, our army can use its field advantage to completely wipe out them.
Besides, the East City has been broken, and the generals will definitely come to our side. When the time comes to attack from inside and outside, the Shu army will be defeated." After the initial panic, Dunn calmed down and calmly analyzed the situation in front of him.
The deputy general also felt that this was the truth, so he agreed and led his troops to attack the junction of the two Han armies.
"De Mao, the Wei army in front is here to prevent our army from joining together. You lead an army up and kill it." Yang Qing could see the intention of the Wei army in front at a glance and quickly said to Zhou Xing beside him.
Zhou Xing cupped his fists and said, "Promise, please rest assured. Let's see what I do." After saying that, he shouted to Wu Que who was a few steps away: "Uncle Qi, please protect me."
"Brother, just kill the enemy. As long as I'm with you, nothing will happen to you." Wu Que chopped down a Wei soldier who rushed in front of him, turned around and said with a smile.
Zhou Xing also smiled and nodded. He immediately changed his sword and led three hundred cavalrymen to charge forward. These three hundred cavalrymen were veterans, and their combat prowess was far beyond that of the new soldiers in the field.
Yang Qing knew that the key to taking the initiative was momentum. The recruits might be able to fight for a long time relying on the city wall, but they were not capable of fighting outside the city. In order to avoid a disaster in the battle, he prepared five hundred soldiers before opening the city gate.
Gather the cavalry and let them rush to the front to clear the way for the army.
Sure enough, the Wei army was suddenly charged by the Han cavalry, and their formation was immediately confused, and they retreated backwards. The Han infantry followed closely behind the cavalry, successfully fought their way out, occupied the terrain, and stabilized their position.
The new soldiers were not rushed by the Wei army and dispersed, and gradually lost their fear. Because Yang Qing took the lead and took command personally, the sergeants were encouraged and their morale was greatly boosted. Even now, they have not disrupted their formation.
At this time, as long as Zhou Xing can successfully defeat the hundreds of Wei troops blocking the way, the army will be able to cross the corner of the city wall and successfully meet up with Liu Yin and the others.
Zhou Xing raised his sword and went straight to the Wei army deputy general: "The thief will die!"
"Shu thieves should stop being so arrogant and take a certain shot!" The deputy general of the Wei army was not to be outdone and fought hard to fight against him.
Zhou Xing used the momentum of his horse to slash at the enemy general's head. The Wei general raised his spear to block the enemy in danger. Zhou Xing pressed down hard with both arms. Unexpectedly, the Wei general's strength was not inferior to him, so he gritted his teeth and held on for a moment.
Then he suddenly shouted loudly and successfully blocked Zhou Xing's long knife.
Although Zhou Xing was surprised, his sword skills did not cause chaos. He slashed at the Wei army with one sword as fast as a sword. This Wei general was really amazing. He took one shot after another and not only took down all Zhou Xing's attacks.
, and Wu counterattacked one of the three moves, and ended up fighting Zhou Xing to no avail.
After thirty moves, Zhou Xing saw that he could not fight for a long time, so he hatched a plan. When he saw the enemy general coming at him with a shot, he pretended that he could not resist it, turned his horse's head and ran back. The Wei general would not spare anyone, so how could he let him go so easily?
He left, crossed his legs, and chased after him.
Seeing that he was about to catch up with Zhou Xing, the Wei general was overjoyed. He rushed forward and stabbed straight into Zhou Xing's vest. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xing did not turn around to parry. He only saw him lift the reins in his hands and hook his feet hard.
, he turned over sideways and stabbed the Wei general in the throat.
The Wei general looked down, as if he didn't believe it. When Zhou Xing withdrew his long sword, he screamed and fell off his horse. Zhou Xing chopped off his sword with one blow, decapitated him, raised his head, and pointed at the surrounding Wei troops.
He shouted loudly: "The thief is dead, who dares to step forward?"
Seeing the momentum, all the Wei soldiers were frightened and retreated. Zhou Xing took advantage of the momentum and led his cavalry to charge and fight fiercely, killing all the enemies blocking the road and heading straight for the west city.
Seeing that Zhou Xing had succeeded, Yang Qing cheered loudly and led the army to follow closely. Soon he successfully rendezvoused with Liu Yin and the others. This time, the Han army was like a two-wing formation, occupying all the wide area outside the West City and
The Wei army in Xicheng was cut off.
Yang Qing saw that although his side had the upper hand, he knew that this was only a temporary victory. Once it was delayed, he would eventually lose to the Wei army, so he ordered his sergeants to slowly retreat towards the west.
When Dunn learned that his lieutenant general was dead, he was really angry. He saw the two Han armies united and their momentum was strong. He suddenly felt that something was wrong and urged his soldiers to mount their horses quickly.
It turned out that he saw that the Han army was difficult to deal with and seemed to be on the verge of escaping, so he wanted to lead the cavalry to attack and reverse the situation of the battle. However, the previous siege was stalemate, and the cavalry turned into infantry and dismounted to fight. At this moment, he could withdraw to the rear in time and mount again.
There are only seven to eight hundred sergeants.
He originally wanted to gather two thousand men and horses before fighting out, but seeing the Han army retreating further and further away, he did not dare to delay any longer, so he led the seven or eight hundred horsemen and killed them.
At this time, the sound of horns on the wall of the West City was suddenly heard, but it was Cao Zhen who learned the situation and led his troops to the West City. Dunn was immediately overjoyed, knowing that as long as he and the general attacked from inside and outside, the Han army would not be able to escape, so he mobilized his mounts.
Quickly attack the Han army.
