Chapter 904: The Battle of Luzhou that Killed Chickens and Horrified Monkeys 6
When Qiu Kailai led his troops to do all his strength and could not shake Shangguan Biao's round formation, he was already gradually afraid. At this time, he had already seen that the other party seemed to be waiting for something? The answer was self-evident.
When the Northern Expedition Army on both sides appeared on the battlefield almost at the same time, everything was settled.
Qiu Kailai's troops were almost destroyed, and even himself, on the way to Li Yang, was intercepted by the cavalry sent by Shangguan Biao in advance, beat the dog in the water, and captured him alive.
Lou Xiang had a conflict with the private army generals for the first time. Zhao Pu, Huang Xuanwu and others strongly demanded to assemble the army and attack Xiangshui Town again. Lou Xiang believes that Xiangshui Town is now a bait for the Northern Expedition Army to attract the Southern Army. They have lost their hatred for this and must not repeat the same mistakes and be led by the enemy.
"Dear generals, I can conclude that Wang Qiang must have set up a trap in Xiangshui Town. Why should we do what he wants? It would be better for us to assemble heavy troops and attack Wang Qiang's central army." Lou Xiang said with a heartache.
Zhao Pu said disdainfully: "General Lou, the provoy has been telling us that Wang Qiang's central army still gathers important troops. In the direction of Xiangshui Town, his general Zeng Ke, although Shangguan Biao severely damaged the Gu Xinghe and Qiu Kailai, they must have suffered great losses themselves. We gathered the army, pounced on them, ate them in one bite, and then turned back to deal with Wang Qiang!"
Huang Xuanwu was very supportive of Zhao Pu's plan, "General Lou and Wang Qiang may be paying attention to the surround and attacking aid, but we gathered heavy troops to make their surround and attacking aid aid aid aid aid aid aid aid aid aid aid aid. When they can't eat it or have their stomachs broken, we have the opportunity to take advantage of it."
To eat persimmons, you have to pick up the soft ones. In the eyes of Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu, Zeng Ke and Shangguan Biao were no less than two persimmons that were too soft to be soft. As a close-knit private army, they knew the combat effectiveness of the Gu family and the enemy. In their opinion, Zeng Ke and Shangguan Biao were indeed amazing in combat, but defeating these two armies will inevitably damage their own strength. If they unexpectedly assemble heavy troops to attack again, they will gain unexpected results.
Lou Xiang remained silent. Although he was the main general, he knew that if he did not receive the support of the following people, he would become an empty air.
"Please think about it again, we can't just think about Wang Qiang's two partial divisions, but also about Yun Zhao's army!" Lou Xiang said heavily.
"First eat this partial army, and turn around and deal with Yun Zhao!" Zhao Pu said fiercely. "General Lou Xiang. If you are worried, you don't have to go. You lead your Lufang Town Army to attract Wang Qiang's central army. General Huang and I led the coalition forces of the aristocratic families to attack. You have 20,000 Luzhou Town Army under your command in Liyang, and there is also Liyang City to support, so it's safe."
At this point, Lou Xiang was no longer able to do anything, so he could only agree to Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu leading the private army of aristocratic families to attack Wang Qiang, and he acted as an attitude of attacking Wang Qiang's front to attract Wang Qiang's attention. At the same time, he could also drag Meng Yao's Lucheng Camp behind Wang Qiang to buy time for Zhao and Huang.
Three days later, Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu led more than 50,000 troops from the aristocratic families to attack Xiangshui Town. Zhao Pu was the main general and Huang Xuanwu was the deputy general. The two gathered all the cavalry under their command, and a cavalry team of more than 5,000 people rushed to Xiangshui Town. It was extremely rare to assemble so many cavalry in the innermost part of the Central Plains. In order to gather the cavalry of these aristocratic families together, Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu took great pains to make a move. You must know that among the aristocratic families, the cavalry are treasures of each family.
In Yunzhao's camp, when Zhao Pu, Huang Xuanwu and others began to assemble cavalry, the information had already been sent back to Yunzhao's desk. The opponent's move was really beyond Yunzhao's expectations.
"It's really a wonderful idea to attack Xiangshui Town with 50,000 troops." Yun Zhao slapped the table and said with a smile: "Good come. Since you are here, don't leave."
"Prince, the opponent gathered 5,000 cavalry to launch an attack. Lou Xiang, on the front, took the initiative to attack Wang Qiang. Our Lucheng Camp could not wait to rescue Xiangshui Town in time!" Meng Yao frowned and said, "Although the opponent is like this, it is a big violation of the normal situation, which is equivalent to putting Li Yang and Luzhou City in front of us and opening the middle gate, but we will also lose Zeng Kai and Shangguan Biao!"
"I'm still here!" Yun Zhao stood up with a laugh, "Five thousand cavalry, hahaha, I haven't personally fought to kill the enemy in several years. In this battle, I'll try again, will my Yi Shuihan be beneficial?"
"The prince attacked himself?" Meng Yao said in shock.
"Of course, I will lead my personal guard camp to rescue Xiangshui Town, Meng Yao, your Lucheng Camp comes from behind. Just in Xiangshui Town, I want these private troops of aristocratic families to never go back." Yun Zhao was so proud, "Transfer to Hu Zehua and approached Luzhou City, forcing Lou Xiang to make a choice, whether to defend Liyang or retreat to Luzhou City!"
"Understood!"
"The order of Su Dingfang to increase the attack on Sun Chuanliang, and not let Sun Chuanliang go to rescue Lufang City, which will ruin my good deeds!"
"yes!"
"That's it, everyone, prepare for the battle!" Yun Zhao clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"The Northern Army won thousands of victories!" In the big tent, the generals stood in a row in front of Yun Zhao, bowed and shouted loudly.
Watching the generals of various divisions leave, Yao Changkun smiled and said to Yun Zhao: "The prince is in great interest. He wants to teach his opponent a lesson in himself. Changkun has not touched the knife for many years. Please allow him to let Changkun go with him!"
"Hmm?" Yun Zhao looked at the other party in surprise, "Changkun, aren't you going to go back to Xingling immediately? Why are you thinking about fighting with me again?"
"If Changkun misses such a grand event, it will be a pity." Yao Changkun smiled and said, "The more he serves, the bigger the official position, the fewer and fewer opportunities to go into battle. It is rare to encounter it, how can he miss it?"
Yun Zhao walked to him with a big laugh and patted his shoulder, "Changkun, you don't feel at ease with me, okay, if you don't let you go, you will definitely be stubborn. I'll feel better. Let's go see some private soldiers of these aristocratic families together!"
Xiangshui Town, Zeng Zhao brought the order from Yun Zhao's central army camp, immediately wiped out the Guxinghe tribe, seized Xiangshui Town, built a defense line, and prepared to fight against most of the enemy troops that were about to arrive. The news that Yun Zhao led the personal guard camp to rescue Xiangshui Town made Zeng Ke's blood boil.
"Report!" A sentry detective came from a distance. "General Zeng, General Shangguan's troops are less than five miles away from Xiangshui Town!"
Zeng Ke sniffed, "Luo Yi!"
"I'm here!" Luo Yi strode forward.
"Attack, at most one hour, that boy Shangguan Biao will appear here. If you don't want him to laugh at us, then take me Xiangshui Town before he arrives."
"The subordinates will definitely complete the task."
"Yan Wei!" Zeng Ke turned around and looked at Yan Wei who had been following him, "This is your opportunity. General Shangguan captured Qiu Kailai alive. I want to capture Gu Xinghe alive. This task will be handed over to you. If it cannot be completed, you don't have to come back. Take off your military uniform and walk by yourself."
"I understand, thank you general for giving this opportunity to the villain."
"I'll help him!" Jin Chao took a step forward, "General Zeng, it's easy to kill him, but it's difficult to capture him alive. Please allow me to help Yan Wei."
"You have a deep affection, how can I stop you? Go."
"Thank you, General!" Jin Chao was overjoyed. Both of them bowed to Zeng Ke and left with great strides.
Outside Xiangshui Town, the war drums suddenly sounded, and teams of the Northern Expedition Army began to advance forward. In order to take Xiangshui Town in the shortest time, Zeng Ke left only 500 personal guards beside him, and the rest were all devoted to the last blow.
In Xiangshui Town, the Gujia Private Army was at the end of its strength. A few days ago, they had almost lost food, and the remaining war horses in the army had been killed. As such, the residents of Xiangshui Town were even more miserable. In Xiangshui Town, almost all the bark and leaves were taken down to serve as food. In the current town, I am afraid that even a mouse can't find one.
Gu Xinghe sat weakly on the roof of a stone house. Looking at the approaching army of the Northern Expedition, his despair spread out little by little in his heart. He didn't expect that he would die like this. He thought to himself in his heart. He was originally watching the opportunity to come to support Qiu Kailai and find an opportunity to escape, but he did not expect that Qiu Kailai was defeated so quickly and was more straightforward than himself. He was so implicated that he didn't even have time to find the chance to escape. Looking at the other party's formation today, I'm afraid it's the last moment.
"General, what should I do?" Gu Lian asked in a trembling voice as he looked at the neat military appearance and shouted at the army of the North that was coming like a tide.
"What to do, what to do?" Gu Xinghe looked up at Gu Lian for a while, and suddenly jumped up, "Kill them all!" He pulled out his sword and jumped down from the roof like crazy.
Gu Lian was shocked and jumped out immediately. Several Gu family generals had gathered in front of the house. Gu Lian nodded, and several people rushed forward, pressed Gu Xinghe to the ground, and tied them up tightly.
"What do you want to do?"
"General Gu, I'm sorry, everyone doesn't want to die!" Gu Lian shouted, raised his head, and ordered: "Hurry up, go quickly, raise the white flag, we surrender, surrender!"
Luo Yi, who was murderous intent, looked at the white flags that several ancient Chinese private soldiers were waving desperately on the roof of the town, and couldn't help but be stunned. The Northern Army who followed him could not help but slow down. All the officers looked at Luo Yi.
In the army, Yan Weidawei was disheartened, "Why did he surrender? Why did he surrender?"
Chapter completed!
