Chapter 579: The set is ready, just waiting for you to drill
(It’s the 10th, and one-third of July has passed. I would like to ask everyone for a few more monthly tickets. Thank you.)
The night is deep and the Lushui River is surging.
Five miles downstream of Anshang City, tens of thousands of barbarian troops have gathered here. They are paddling bamboo rafts quietly towards the other side in the dim light of the moon.
It was already dark at night, the temperature had turned cooler, and the poisonous gas in the Lu water had dissipated, so the barbarian army was able to cross the river safely.
Although the current here is more rapid than the main ferry, the boatmen are experienced people who have lived on both sides of the Lu River all year round. Although the current is fast, it is like walking on flat ground for them.
When the raft reached the shore, Zhu Rong jumped ashore, turned over and jumped onto the Nanzhong war horse brought by the soldiers.
Zhu Rong returned to the south bank, only to see hundreds of bamboo rafts moving like shuttles, carrying her 20,000 soldiers towards the north bank.
When the moon passed high in the sky, nearly half of the barbarian army had successfully crossed to the north bank.
The barbarian generals such as Busya Chang, Duosi and others came on horseback and gathered towards where Zhu Rong was.
"Our army marches along the Lushui River beach. We can use the sound of water to cover up the footsteps of the people and horses. When we get close to the enemy camp, we will divide into four groups to raid the enemy camp. Do you all remember this?" Zhu Rong looked solemn and asked the crowd.
The generals arranged their battle plans.
"Don't worry, sister, we all have our own sense of proportion. This time we will definitely kill Yan Liang without leaving any trace behind." The cave master who brought him shouted with confidence on his face.
The other generals are also very confident and determined to win.
Zhu Rong nodded slightly, his charming face becoming more and more confident.,
After a short wait, the remaining 10,000 barbarian troops all landed ashore. Zhu Rong then left more than a thousand soldiers and horses to guard the rafts, and led nearly 20,000 barbarian troops upstream along the river.
Half an hour later, Zhu Rong, commanding the barbarian army, had sneaked close to Yan Camp.
Zhu Rong raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see that Yanying was brightly lit and completely silent, not seeming to be on guard at all.
"Yan Liang, you bitch, you dared to humiliate me last time. I will cut you into pieces tonight with my own hands, just wait for me."
Zhu Rong's face was filled with murderous intent and he sneered. Then he ordered all the barbarians to act according to the plan.
He brought three generals, including Fen Ya Chang and Duo Si, to lead troops and horses in three directions: northwest and south. Zhu Rong himself led five thousand elite troops to approach Yanying from the east.
At this time, dark clouds gradually gathered, covering up the light of the moon. Outside Yanying, the light became increasingly dim.
Zhu Rong was secretly pleased with God's help, and immediately used the cover of darkness to quietly approach the enemy camp.
After more than a hundred steps, Yan Ying was right in front of him, and Zhu Rong could even clearly see the figures of Yan's soldiers on the front line of the camp fence.
The time has come.
"Warriors of Nanzhong, follow me into the enemy camp and kill all these Han dogs."
Amidst the clear shouts, Zhu Rong, carrying five flying knives on his back and a long standard in his hand, rode out of the darkness on horseback.
Five thousand Nanyi barbarians moved with a roar, like a torrent that broke a dike, following Zhu Rong and pouring straight towards the silent Yan camp.
At the same time, shouts of killing arose from the north, south, and west roads, and the three groups of soldiers and horses brought by the cave master also launched an attack on Yanying from all directions.
Zhu Rong took the lead, charging forward with his horse, passing through the antlers on the outside, flying over the trench and heading straight for the camp gate.
At the front line of the camp gate, the panicked Sergeant Yan was about to close the camp gate, but Zhu Rong Changbiao fired his bow from left and right, stabbing several people down in succession. The other Sergeants Yan were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
Zhu Rong rode his horse like the wind and crashed into the camp gate unstoppably.
Behind him, like a tide, five thousand barbarian troops poured into the camp from the camp gate, marched straight in, and rushed straight into the hinterland of Yanying.
The shouts of killing from the remaining three sides also gradually approached. They must have brought three other soldiers and horses, and they also successfully entered the Yan camp.
Zhu Rong was overjoyed, and her spirit was even more powerful. She led her soldiers to surge forward, killing them with all their might.
However, Zhu Rong gradually became suspicious in his heart.
Not only was it so smooth to break into the enemy camp, but also because there was almost no resistance along the way. Except for the handsome soldiers who were killed and dispersed at the camp gate, they never encountered another enemy.
Even if most of Yan's soldiers fell ill due to the poison of Lushui, there wouldn't be even one soldier who resisted, right?
The further they went to the hinterland of Yanying, the more suspicious Zhu Rong became.
Just when she was suspicious, the other three groups of soldiers and horses were already approaching, and the four groups of soldiers and horses had already met in the Yan camp.
"Sister, it's strange. Why are there not even half a person in the enemy camp? Could it be that Yan Liang had fled during the night?" The cave master who came to join us on horseback was also full of doubts.
Did Yan Liang escape?
Zhu Rong's eyes lit up, and this thought flashed through his mind.
If most of Yan's soldiers were indeed ill, in this case, it would be impossible for Yan's army to fight again. It is not impossible for Yan Liang to choose to withdraw his troops at this time.
Moreover, only in this way can we explain that what they entered was just an empty camp with all the buildings empty, otherwise...
When the words "otherwise" just flashed out of Zhu Rong's mind, a sudden change occurred.
In all directions outside the camp, the sound of cannons and roars of killing was like thunderbolts in the clear sky, with a sudden and loud roar.
"Kill the barbarians"
"Capture Zhu Rong alive"
Outside the camp, shouts rang out like a roaring wave, as powerful as a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking.
Zhu Rong was frightened and brought a surprise. The 20,000 barbarian troops were all frightened.
Zhu Rong's horse swept around, but he saw countless torches appearing outside the camp in the blink of an eye. The stars were scattered endlessly, like flowing fire, flying from all directions.
An ambush is an ambush!
At this time, Zhu Rong's charming face changed suddenly, and he suddenly woke up, knowing that he had fallen into Yan Jun's trick of luring the enemy.
That Yan Jun was poisoned, that most of his soldiers fell ill, and that Yan Jun secretly transported wounded soldiers are all false.
All of this turned out to be Yan Liang's plan to trick you, Zhu Rong, into being fooled and taking the initiative to cross the river to die.
Zhu Rong, who was shocked to realize that he had been tricked, did not think much and shouted: "The whole army retreats, the whole army retreats quickly"
After giving the order, Zhu Rong galloped towards the east of the lower reaches with his horse dancing and the mark.
The high-spirited fighting spirit of the 20,000 terrified barbarian troops had long since evaporated. When Zhu Rong gave the order, they had already begun to flee towards the downstream ferry.
However, it was too late. Around the camp, the tens of thousands of Yan Jun's ambush troops had already disappeared.
At the northeast corner, Li Yan galloped his horse with his sword and led more than 10,000 soldiers of Yan's army to kill first and intercept the fleeing barbarians.
Among the rebels, the 10,000 rear troops led by Mongya Chang and Duosi were intercepted by Li Yan in the camp in the blink of an eye.
Li Yan opened his bow left and right with his long sword, killing the frightened barbarians crazily. Wherever the horse's hooves passed, there was a bloody path.
During the killing spree, Li Yan saw the banner of the barbarian army under the blazing fire, and saw that the barbarian general under it was busy with long teeth and wielding a mace. He was eager to break out of the encirclement.
Li Yan gave a loud shout. He leapt on his horse, raised his sword, and went straight for Fan Yashang.
When Li Yan was under Liu Zhang's command, the busy Ya Chang had also known Li Yan. Now that he saw Li Yan attacking him, he could not help but feel furious in his originally fearful heart.
"You're a Handog who betrays his master, you'll have to die." The furious Fengya Chang was extremely confident in his martial arts. He waved his mace and faced the attack.
The two horses collided, and sparks flew everywhere.
Fen Ya Chang felt a huge force coming from the stick. The shock shook his body, and then Li Yan's backhand strikes were as fast as lightning.
The man who was mentally stagnant was busy with his long teeth, and he tried to block it with his diagonal stick, but the gap in martial arts meant that he ended up being half a beat slower.
Blood splattered everywhere and there were loud screams.
But seeing the cold light passing by, the right arm of Mung Ya Chang, who was holding the baton, was suddenly cut off by Li Yan's lightning-fast sword.
Where the arm was broken, blood gushed out like a fountain. The pain was so severe that Fen Ya was so frightened that he hurriedly wanted to ride his horse and escape first.
Li Yan didn't give him a chance. When he turned back, the third knife had already struck from behind.
The sword flew away like the wind, I lost my arm, and the weapon fell like a long fang, how could I stop it?
With a "pop" sound, the bloody human head flew into the air.
After killing the general with three swords, the unstoppable Li Yan didn't even look back. He raised his horse and wielded his sword, and continued to slash at the frightened barbarians.
Crazy Li Yan seemed to want to repay all the barbarian humiliation he suffered from Liu Zhang.
After leaving behind 10,000 soldiers and horses, Zhu Rong led another 10,000 remaining soldiers and finally fought their way out of the camp.
As they entered the main road, they saw another army approaching.
At the front, the towering tiger and bear sword general is none other than Pang De, the fierce general of Xiliang.
The 10,000 elite Yan family troops roared and swarmed towards the incoming barbarians like hungry wild beasts.
Pound's long sword was like lightning, ruthlessly harvesting the heads of barbarian soldiers like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. His legion was like a steel meat grinder, mercilessly strangulating the fleeing barbarian soldiers.
"Sister, you go first, I will hold back these Chinese dogs," the cave owner who brought him shouted.
"Be careful, let's meet at the ferry." At this moment, Zhu Rong didn't care much. She only knew that as the wife of the King of Dai Viet, she could never die here.
Zhu Rong galloped on his horse, and under the protection of more than a thousand elite barbarian troops, he broke through Yan Jun's blockage and ran towards the ferry several miles away.
Pang De tried to stop Zhu Rong, but the cave master who brought him led his remaining soldiers and desperately tried to hold Pang De back so that he could not catch up.
The furious Pound saw that Zhu Rong was gone, and he poured out all his anger on the remaining barbarians. His swords flowed out like a long river, killing people with red eyes like demons.
…
Running wildly all the way, Zhu Rong finally escaped from the siege, and the shouts of death behind him gradually faded away.
Zhu Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, only to find that he only had a thousand soldiers and horses left, and the nearly 20,000 barbarians were all surrounded by Yan's army.
At this time, Zhu Rong felt extremely ashamed in his heart. If he had to run away like this, he would have no face to face Meng Huo.
"Fortunately, my husband still has some extraordinary troops. Even if I lose the ferry now, I can turn defeat into victory in the future..."
Zhu Rong comforted himself. At this time, he did not care about the life or death of his brother and other generals. He only thought about escaping safely to the other side and evacuating to Meng Huo.
When I was deep in thought, I saw the approaching ferry crossing ahead.
At this moment, countless torches suddenly lit up in the dark front, illuminating the entire world as bright as day.
Zhu Rong and her remaining soldiers were shocked, and subconsciously raised their arms to block the dazzling firelight.
Zhu Rong, who was still astonished, heard a loud shout like a bell in the distance: "Zhu Rong, I have been waiting for you for a long time. You have nowhere to escape. If you don't dismount and surrender, how long will it take?"
