Chapter 110 Besieged
Chapter 110: Being surrounded
Looking at the soldiers around him with less than a hundred people, Zhang Ji felt mixed feelings.
Suddenly, with a "scarlet" sound, Zhang Ji drew his sword out of the sheath, and placed his sharp blade on his neck, preparing to end himself with one sword.
Before he could do it, Le Lin, who was standing beside him, snatched the sword from Zhang Ji's hand.
"Lelin, I regret not listening to you. The advice I made today's miserable defeat. Do I still have the face to live in this world?
It’s better to die and apologize to your brothers.”
When Le Lin heard this, she advised: "General, isn't it the whole army wiped out? As long as we are still alive, we will definitely start the team again.
What's more, if you commit suicide, how sad and disappointed the lord would be.
What we can do now is to return to the rear to reorganize our troops and build a defense line to prevent the Song army from regaining the lost land."
"It's right, we'll reorganize our troops when we go back to Xindu."
Zhang Ji regained his confidence and decided to fight the Song army to the death again.
...
At the same time, the Song army stopped massacres and began to gather prisoners on both sides of the Tuo River.
"Young Master, our army killed 7,000 enemies in this battle and captured more than 20,000 prisoners. It was a great victory."
A strong man reported the good news to the man beside him with an excited expression.
The man's mouth raised and he was equally happy about the big victory.
If Zhang Ji was in front of him, he would definitely be shocked.
The master and servant are Gu Tingye and Shi Tou.
Three days ago, Gu Tingye led 10,000 troops from Chengdu and marched into Tuoshui. When he met a pedestrian from Xindu, he called him to ask and found out that Xindu had lost it.
Gu Tingye was very surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Ji to win Xindu so quickly.
After being surprised, Gu Tingye was very troubled. Now he continues to send troops to fight Zhang Ji, and he still withdraws his troops back to Chengdu for defense.
After thinking about it, Gu Tingye decided to set up a camp on the west bank of Tuoshui, and at the same time sent a large number of meticulous workers to Xindu to spy on military information.
A day later, Xiaozuo sent out came back to tell Gu Tingye that Zhang Ji was going to send troops to Chengdu.
When he learned that Zhang Ji sent troops to Chengdu, Gu Tingye summoned all the generals to discuss matters in the Central Army's tent.
All the generals knew that Xindu had been lost, so Zhang Ji and his heavy troops marched into Chengdu, causing a stir.
At the same time, they asked Gu Tingye to lead his troops back to Chengdu and resist the enemy with the people in the city.
Gu Tingye did not agree to this request. Not only did he refuse, he also decided to fight Zhang Ji.
Ten thousand to seventy thousand.
Everyone thought the general was crazy, so they asked him to calm down one by one.
Of course Gu Tingye was not crazy. This was something he thought about after careful consideration, and the battlefield was placed on Tuo Shui.
However, in order to make the generals confident that they can win this battle, he told these people his thoughts.
Gu Tingye first lies in ambush on the west bank of Tuoshui with 6,000 people, waited for 30% of the bandit troops to cross the river, and then attacked with all his might.
In this way, the bandits could not react and could only let their side slaughter.
In order to kill the enemy with one blow, Gu Tingye used the remaining 4,000 people to lie quietly on the east bank of Tuoshui, waiting for chaos in the front army of the bandits to take the opportunity to attack the back army of the bandits.
The difference is that these four thousand people are all cavalrymen.
The plan is perfect, and the generals under Gu Tingye performed more perfectly.
Of course, the unlucky one was Zhang Ji, who was defeated before he even started.
And he fled to Xindu with his defeated generals.
"Stone, let them speed up the cleaning of the battlefield and recover the lost land later with this general."
In order to expand the results of the battle, Gu Tingye asked Shi Tou to urge everyone to speed up.
"Young Master, I'll let them hurry up now."
Shi Tou was also very excited and responded and went to convey military orders to the generals.
...
Mianzhu, Zhang Ji looked at the Song Jun with a gloomy face outside the city.
Ten days ago, Zhang Ji brought his people back to Xindu. Before he could catch his breath, the Song army chased him.
Helplessly, Zhang Ji had to abandon the city and take his people to Luo County, but he was one step late and Luo County was lost.
Finally they went to Mianzhu. After arriving, Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and the city was still in their hands.
One day later, the Song army descended from the sky and surrounded Mianzhu tightly.
Zhang Ji knew that he could not run away anymore. Behind Mianzhu is Fu County, and further down the road is their base camp Zitong.
Even if you die, you must keep guarding Mianzhu and buy time for the rear.
Zhang Ji instructed the generals guarding the city to keep an eye on the movements of the Song army outside the city. After saying that, he stepped down the city wall and walked towards the county government.
...
One day later, the Song army, who had recovered their strength, formed one thousand-person team after another outside the city.
As long as the Lord General gives orders, they pounce on the prey in front of them like tigers.
There was a wooden platform in the Song army camp. Gu Tingye stood on the platform, looking at the city wall in front of him, and issued a military order to attack the city.
The soldiers responsible for conveying military orders, wave flags representing military orders, and convey military orders to the heads of various thousand-person teams to the commanders of the siege.
As soon as these commanders received the order, they led their subordinates to carry long ladders to attack the city.
The soldiers guarding the city were not just a good meal, and they all defended with their weapons.
The siege battle was fought from morning to night, with heavy losses, but the Song Bing was heavier.
This time, Zhang Ji was not careless and made the defenders more careful.
In the next few days, you will be singing and performing, and we will be on the stage.
Some people are constantly dying, but no one can stand the other.
So, the stalemate continued like this.
