Chapter 285 Anhui City is broken and Zhang Liao is captured
"Pfft!"
"Well!"
Li Dian himself was injured, and he was commanding at the top of the city for several days. His reaction and physical strength were far inferior to Gan Ning's.
Gan Ning just turned sideways to avoid his attack, and then slashed Li Dian in the back. Li Dian groaned and fell to the ground. The soldiers around Gan Ning quickly stepped forward to subdue him!
Looking at the soldiers from both sides who were still fighting around him, Gan Ning shouted, "Your general has been captured, why don't you surrender?"
Li Dian lay on the ground, not caring about the swords, guns, swords and halberds around his neck. He struggled and roared, "Brothers, fight to the death! Fight to the death!"
When the soldiers on both sides heard these two roars, completely different changes took place. Liu Jun was greatly inspired and killed Cao Jun, who was already suppressed, and was even more defeated.
As for Cao's army, no matter how elite it is, how much combat power can it still exert without its commander? After Li Dian was captured, the morale of the army had completely collapsed.
For several days, Cao Jun resisted desperately, even if Liu Jun used catapults to bombard the city wall, they did not retreat at all. They have tried their best to resist until today.
"Should we surrender? Should we surrender? Should we surrender?"
The number of Liu Jun on the top of the city has exceeded that of Cao Jun. They kept shouting at Cao Jun as if shouting slogans!
"Clang!"
Looking at Liu Jun, who was dumbfounded and blushing because of the roar, someone finally had his will broken and put down his weapon and knelt on the ground. One pass to ten, ten to one hundred, Cao Jun completely gave up resistance.
Gan Ning raised his knife and shouted, "We win! We win!"
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
In this battle, Liu Jun conquered Wancheng and captured the entire Lujiang County at the cost of nearly 20,000 casualties!
At this moment, Zhang Liao led 10,000 cavalry and finally arrived at Shiting area.
Shiting, this place is not famous now. It was only after a great war that this humble place became known to the world. Because of this war, Sun Quan dared to proclaim himself emperor in the second year.
It is completely dark. Shiting is close to the Yangtze River. The terrain in this area is not rugged. Generally speaking, it is still in the Jianghuai Plain. But there are many rocks in Shiting, not only in Shiting, but also along the entire Yangtze River.
All places are like this.
This is why Su Shi, the great writer of the Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem, "The troubled times pass through the sky, and the stormy waves crash on the shore."
At this moment, Zhang Liao led his cavalry to run among such rocks. Because of the obstruction of stones scattered on the ground and the fact that it was completely dark, the marching speed of these 10,000 cavalry was very slow.
"stop!"
"Change the torch!"
These 10,000 cavalry were brought by Zhang Liao from Youzhou. Even in this troubled forest, he halted the horses very skillfully, and then quickly took out the unlit torches from the horses and replaced them.
The deputy general next to Zhang Liao said to Zhang Liao, "General, please let the soldiers rest for a while. Marching in this chaotic forest, the horses will not have much strength even when they reach the battlefield."
"We can rest, can the brothers in Wancheng wait?" Under the firelight, the deputy general could only see clearly Zhang Liao's terrifying eyes.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Whoosh whoosh..."
"call..."
"Herod..."
"Pfft..."
"ah......"
Suddenly there was a loud shout in the dark night, and then countless arrows were shot towards the place where Zhang Liao and others were raising fire!
The war horses neighed and began to run around. The knights on the horses could not see where the enemy troops were. The arrows shot into their chests mercilessly. Apart from screaming and spinning in circles, they had no way to resist.
"Quickly put out the fire!" Zhang Liao ordered his soldiers while riding his horse and turning his head, blocking the arrows.
It is a pity that even if people still obey the command at this time, the horses are no longer under control. Can the lit torch be extinguished? The ground is full of injured and fallen horses and knights, which is already in troubled times.
The place is even more difficult to walk around!
"The whole army obeys the order and rushes to kill the enemy!"
"Turn around quickly!"
In the dark night, both sides gave orders almost at the same time. But in a place like this, the cavalry was no longer as nimble as the infantry. The cavalry, which had lost its speed advantage, was like a lamb to be slaughtered in front of the oncoming Liu Jun!
"ah......"
"Pfft..."
Sergeant Liu picked up the torch discarded by Cao Jun on the ground, holding a knife in one hand and a torch in the other, constantly searching for the target. On the battlefield where corpses were strewn, the blood formed a stream and flowed into the river. The already peaceful fish heard the smell
The smell of blood swam out one after another!
"Pfft!"
"Hold on! Don't mess up!" Zhang Liao was still making his final struggle and chopped down the soldier Liu who was chasing him with his sword. Zhang Liao shouted again at the battlefield.
It is a pity that at this time, no matter how powerful his personal bravery was, it had no effect on the entire battle. Zhang Liao was indeed brave, and Liu's soldiers could hardly advance.
But the terrain here is too unfavorable for the cavalry. Liu Jun ambushed here and waited for the enemy to be prepared. From the moment Zhang Liao set out to support, the outcome of this war was already doomed. And all of this is happening.
In Pang Tong’s plan!
"Herod!"
"not good!"
Zhang Liao's horse tripped over rocks. Even so, he stood up the moment he fell to the ground. Several Liu Jun who wanted to take advantage of the situation to sneak attack died under his sword again!
"Take my stick!"
"bite!"
Zhang Liao firmly withstood the blow, looked at the bearded man in the firelight and shouted, "What a strong force, who are you?"
"In the Chu lord's tent, the lieutenant general Shamoke! Are you Zhang Liao?"
Shamoko had long noticed the brave Zhang Liao. When Zhang Liao charged into battle that day, he was commanding the retreat of the army, but he also heard about Zhang Liao's reputation afterwards. Apart from Zhang Liao, there should be no one else with such ability.
The two of them didn't talk nonsense anymore, they each worked hard and hit each other again. Samokeli was in a strong position, and the tiger danced with a mace. Zhang Liao did not fall behind at all, and occasionally had a few thoughts.
Liu Jun who wanted to attack by surprise was killed by him!
"call out!"
"Pfft!"
Behind Zhang Liao, an arrow suddenly shot out. Under the pain, he failed to block Shamoko's club. The mace hit Zhang Liao's shoulder hard! He didn't even have the strength to hold the knife in his hand.
Got it!
Shamoko looked behind Zhang Liao. Zhang Yun was holding a torch in one hand and a repeating crossbow in the other, "How can you be a hero when you attack with secret arrows?"
Zhang Yun stepped forward and looked at Zhang Liao who was under control, then turned to Shamoko and smiled and said, "Silly man, the Han people have more than this. You still have a lot to learn."
Shamoko blushed with anger, pointed at Zhang Liao and said, "He is a warrior and should not be captured like this!"
Zhang Yun paused, stared at Shamoko and said, "Aren't our soldiers warriors? Ending the battle early is a good thing for our soldiers. They don't have to sacrifice their lives anymore, and it's because of him.
.Which is more important or less important, can’t you figure it out?”
"But......"
"Okay, shut up, Samoko, Zhang Yun is right, war is fought by any means necessary. As long as they can win, people will only praise the winner, and no one will care about the process." At this time, Cai Mao also
Came over.
"Go clean the battlefield for me!"
"promise!"
On the night when Wancheng fell, Liu Jun defeated Cao Jun again and captured Zhang Liao!
