Chapter 142 Xuzhou is in emergency, Su Lie wins the first battle!
The whole army was in good order and their morale was like a rainbow! Seeing this, Yuan Shu nodded in praise. Su Lie, Qi Jiguang and other generals should be rewarded for their merit in training.
Zhi punishes Zang or not, and it is not appropriate to have similarities or differences.
If there are those who commit crimes and are loyal and good, they should be punished and rewarded by a judge, so as not to be partial and have different laws internally and externally.
If rewards and punishments are clear, you can gather the morale of the army, make every attack invincible, be invincible in every battle, and be unstoppable...
Su Lie and Qi Jiguang showed merit in military training. In front of the entire army, Yuan Shu promoted them to a higher rank and rewarded them with a box of gold, silver and jewels! He also said that those who performed meritoriously in future battles would be rewarded based on their performance in killing the enemy.
As soon as these words came out, the whole army was shocked, and all the soldiers were excited and gearing up for attack.
Seeing that his army was ready, Yuan Shu stepped onto the general platform, assigned tasks, and deployed his army to set off!
The four armies are like four long dragons, marching towards the southeast, northwest and northwest.
Only the billowing smoke and dust and the expectant faces of the people were left.
Yuzhou Yuan's army was dispatched, and the army advanced at the fastest speed. Let's look at Tao Qian's troops in Xuzhou!
Xuzhou, Xiapi County.
Tao Qian organized an army of 30,000 to fight Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army. Tao Qian defended the city and ordered Cao Bao, Zuo Rong, Mi Fang, and Liu Sandao to go out to meet the enemy!
Here, Chen Sheng and Wu Guangjun led an army of 50,000 people and attacked Xiapi City in three groups.
Among them, Deng Zong, Song Liu, and Cai Ci led an army of 30 million to fight against Cao Bao and other Xuzhou troops...
The remaining 20,000 troops pushed the well gate directly towards the city wall.
The war was about to break out, and the flames of war spread. The two armies suffered heavy casualties. The Xuzhou Army was led by Cao Bao. The army attacked more with less, and was vaguely on par with the rebel army. However, due to the fact that its own troops were inferior to Chen Sheng's army, the Xuzhou Army could not fight with the rebel army.
A war of attrition... what to do?
If this battle is defeated again, Xiapi County will be completely lost, and three-fifths of the huge Xuzhou will be occupied by the bandits!
"Sir, help me."
Tao Qian was perched on top of the city wall, dispatching his troops and generals to organize his troops to fight back against the rebels attacking the city. At the same time, he turned to seek help from Chen Gui beside him!
"Sir, can you come up with a great idea?"
To be honest, if this continues, it is only a matter of time before Xiapi City falls. If Xiapi City falls, it will mean that the entire Xiapi County has been occupied by the bandits.
Morale dropped sharply during this period, which affected the morale of the troops and even affected the combat status!
"I have a plan. I wonder if my lord dares to use it?"
Chen Gui spoke slowly, his eyes slightly closed, and he uttered a few words in his hoarse throat. Tao Qian was so excited that he took his hand and asked for a good idea.
Seeing Tao Qian being so excited, Chen Gui secretly expressed his disgust, but still told him his clever plan!
"I thought retreating troops could be solved with just one move!
According to intelligence, Yuan Shu from Yuzhou is sending his troops to support them, and they will arrive in a few days. We only need to maintain a stalemate with Chen Sheng's army and reduce the casualties of our soldiers, and we can achieve a complete victory."
Chen Gui's words hit Tao Qian, and Tao Qian nodded in praise, and then gave an order to withdraw his troops. The troops who had gone out to fight in the field quickly returned to the city to defend the city.
Later, he organized the people in the city to help transport the materials for the city defense, and even demolished private houses, took tiles, beams, adobe bricks, etc., and transported them to the city wall.
The two armies were in a stalemate, and Chen Shengjun had no choice but to retreat temporarily, reorganize his army, and carry out the next siege!
Now let's look at Yuan Shu's army. At this time, Yuan Shu led the army on a long journey and rushed to Guandu, then crossed the Yellow River and went all the way north!
Su Lie's army on the other side marched south to Yangzhou and encountered an ambush as soon as they entered Yangzhou. According to scouts, the ambush was led by three generals, Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui and Li Xiucheng, under Hong Xiu's command.
After ambushing Su Lie's army and causing hundreds of casualties, he fled far away!
"Damn it! I didn't expect that I, Su Dingfang, would be ambushed by such a young man. It's really shameful."
Su Lie was furious and continued to march and fight, heading south towards Lujiang County. He encountered several ambushes on the way, but he had already taken precautions and killed nearly a thousand of the ambush soldiers. He lost no more than a hundred people!
"Where are Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei?"
"The end is here!"
Summoning the two generals, Su Lie nodded, leaned into their ears, and ordered them to lead three thousand elite troops to the nearby Shu County and station them there for defense.
Shu County is the only way to Lujiang County. Hong Xiu's entire army must pass through Shu County if they want to attack Lujiang.
"You have ambushed our army several times, it's time for us to ambush you."
Su Lie snorted coldly, waved his hand, and the second general led his soldiers towards Shu County.
"Ding! Su Lie's skill is activated. When facing opponents of the same race, the command value will be randomly increased...by 2 points. The current command value will be increased to 99."
Almost breaking the hundred mark, Su Lieru was like a military god, dispatching his troops and generals, setting up camp step by step, laying a dragnet, waiting for the traitor generals to jump in with their troops!
In addition to the ambush in Shu County, Su Lie also asked Generals Deng Yuanjue and Yang Youji to lead 3,000 elite troops, hide in the dense forest, and set up a fishing net formation to prepare to capture the thieves.
There are another thousand soldiers, led by generals Fengtai and Zhang Ming, who are resting on the spot to confuse the rebel army. This will lead the rebel army to divide into two groups and fight!
If the thief army divides its troops to fight, it will be easier to defeat them one by one. If the thief army does not divide its troops to fight, these thousand soldiers will make the thief army afraid, and they will have to take a detour even if they flee...
The plan was initially decided, and the army divided into groups. Su Lie led the entire army and marched slowly, followed by an army of a thousand men led by generals Fengtai and Zhang Ming.
The army had not gone more than three miles when a bandit general came with his army! He wanted to defeat Su Lie's army of 3,000 men.
"It's ridiculous!"
When Su Lie saw the bandit army charging toward his side, he snorted coldly, threw out the magic weapon in his hand, and got ready for battle!
"Ding! Su Lie's skill is activated, and the force value is increased to 116 (118)"
But when he saw the thief general charging towards him, Su Lie raised his arms and shouted, ordering the entire army to form a circular formation, raise their shields to block, and at the gap under the shield, he swung his sword to chop off the ankles of the thief soldiers!
"Damn it! The Han general is actually so good? Let's retreat quickly."
The rebel generals could not gain any advantage here with Su Lie, and were afraid that the thousand soldiers would attack later, so he led his troops to retreat towards Shu County.
This made the corners of Su Lie's mouth slightly raise, with an expression of success!
"The whole army listened to the order and sent troops to Shu County to encircle and suppress the bandit army. This was the first achievement of entering Yangzhou!"
The army in the dense forest was no longer in ambush. The second general Fengtai also led his army forward quickly. Su Lie and others led the army to Shu County.
At this time, Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei were already on standby in Shu County. According to what the scouts said, a bandit army was marching towards them. Both generals lamented that General Su Lie was so good at predicting events!
Everyone defended, and the whole army was ready to attack, with swords drawn and drawn, just waiting for the thieves to come.
On the other hand, the rebel army just wanted to flee, but they didn't use any brains at all. They ran around randomly. When they saw Shu County in front of them, they were very excited and wanted to take a rest here. But they didn't know that going to Shu County here was like a meat bun beating a dog.
There is no return!
Ridiculous! Deplorable! Exasperating! But nothing...
