Chapter five hundred and ninetieth successful encirclement and suppression
Bao Zhi was unwilling to give up, so he personally led his troops out, passed the gate opening, and entered the city on a bamboo raft.
At this time, the Wu Yue soldiers and dead soldiers were blocked by the embankments and alleys on both sides of the canal, and their living space was continuously compressed.
When Bao Zhi saw it, he was very anxious and immediately jumped from the bamboo raft to the west bank of the canal. He drew his sword and threw himself into the struggle.
"My sons, the destruction of Runzhou City is so close, we must not retreat!"
The Wu Yue soldiers who were trapped here had no intention of fighting at first, but when they heard the voice of deputy commander Bao Zhi, their spirits were shaken. They began to organize their formation and no longer retreat in a panic.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
The sound of the blade was loud and clear, and the Wu and Yue soldiers hugged each other and still had to fight in a small area in the city.
Su Chen, Peng Jingjing, Jing Hong and others have already led their troops forward and surrounded the enemy soldiers on the east side of the canal to the corner of the wall, forcing the enemy to lean against the city wall with their backs to the canal. They were weak and at the end of the road.
They were considering how to escape, and the only option was to jump into the canal.
Bao Zhi had already seen the weakness of the Tang army on the west side, so he planned to lead his troops to charge forward to defeat the troops on the west side, so that the troops outside the city could come in one after another. Otherwise, they would be blocked.
On the west side, Zhao Sheng, the Marquis of Yu, led a thousand troops to block the attack on the west bank of the canal. However, Bao Zhi and others continued to attack, and there was a tendency to retreat.
After Peng Jingjing saw it, she jumped into the air, stepped on the rope, rushed across the canal, jumped to the east side of the canal, and participated in the battle.
Some guards walked around from the downstream bridge a few dozen feet away to the west side of the canal to help.
Bao Zhi, whom Peng Jingjing was eyeing, launched her light body kung fu, leaped into the air, jumped over several layers of spears and sword formations, crossed the Wuyue officers and soldiers, and fell into Bao Zhi's side, stabbing out with her sword.
Bao Zhi also had martial arts skills and also fought back with his sword.
Dang Dang Dang.
The two of them fought within a limited area, both using murderous sword techniques.
After being tempered on the battlefield, Peng Qingqing no longer focuses on fancy fists, embroidered legs, and beautiful sword dances, but prefers practical, simple, and deadly moves.
Bao Zhi was stunned. He did not expect that there would be such a powerful general in the Tang army. He jumped over several layers of soldiers and came directly towards him.
To capture a thief, capture the king first; to shoot a man, shoot a horse first.
Peng Jingjing just heard this person shouting and recognized that he was a commander. She planned to kill this person first, so the Wu and Yue soldiers in the city dispersed.
The two of them were constantly fighting, the swords being drawn faster and faster, the sword light flickering.
The surrounding Wu and Yue soldiers saw someone coming to assassinate their commander. Some of them turned around and came to help. When Peng Jingjing was not paying attention, they stabbed Peng Jingjing in the back with their spears.
However, Peng Jingjing was alerted in advance and swept her away with her kick, or blocked her with her sword in time, but she was not hurt at all.
However, the power of her sword continued unabated, suppressing Bao Zhi and continuously retreating.
"Kill!"
The melee around them continued, and the lights became brighter and brighter. Archers from the Tang Army came over holding torches, and some archers drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the entrance of the canal gate and the group of Wu and Yue soldiers and horses, and fired arrows directly!
Rest, rest, rest!
Many Wu and Yue soldiers were shot and killed.
A team of archers climbed onto the city wall and kept shooting arrows at the top of the canal outside the city, blocking the reinforcements from outside the city from approaching. This was equivalent to cutting off the flow of Wu and Yue troops, so that fewer and fewer Wu and Yue soldiers were able to enter the city.
At the same time, Su Chen had already led his troops to clear out the Wu Yue soldiers on the east side of the canal, which was nearing its end. This put these Wu Yue soldiers who sneaked into the city into an absolute disadvantage.
Zhang Shun, the Marquis of Du Yu, saw that the situation was not good and that the vanguard general Bao Zhi was also in danger. He couldn't help but shouted: "General Bao, retreat quickly and I will deal with this person."
Bao Zhi was completely under Peng Jingjing's sword skills, and was surrounded by dangers, as if he would be stabbed at any time.
At this time, he was speechless. He was busy dealing with it and had no time to speak. If he was distracted in the slightest, he might die by the sword.
Bao Zhi was very unwilling, but he had no way to save himself. He had no choice but to turn around and run away, because he had been stabbed to the vital point continuously by Peng Jingjing's swordsmanship, and he didn't even have time to speak.
He stared at Peng Jingjing's sword edge and kept using his sword to block. Although there were soldiers around him ready to help, Peng Qingqing's martial arts was very high and his sword skills were fast. He was a little worried about hurting his general, so he didn't dare
Rushing the gun.
Just like that, Peng Jingjing kicked with her long legs and swept away several guards, but her sword edge still locked Bao Zhi.
Finally, Bao Zhi failed to defend in time and was stabbed in the right shoulder bone by Peng Qingqing with a sword.
"Pfft!" After drawing the sword out, blood spattered.
Because Bao Zhi's right arm was injured, under conditioned reflex, the sword in his hand fell off and fell to the ground.
Peng Jingjing took the opportunity to move forward, and in a flash, the sword edge cut sideways, and with a pop, Bao Zhi's throat was cut open by the sword edge.
"Ah!" With a scream, Bao Zhi fell to his knees first, his eyes wandering, and then his body collapsed to the ground, killing him on the spot.
"General Bao!"
Some people discovered that the commander, Bao Zhi, had been killed, and their morale was immediately hit. Seeing that they were surrounded layer by layer, they could no longer impact the city and could only retreat to save their lives.
Some soldiers who were good at water began to jump towards the canal under the wall.
Thump thump!
The soldiers who jumped into the water began to swim wildly against the current outside the city, preparing to escape.
Some of them were not very good at water. We built a bamboo raft and let them swim back. They were in a bit of trouble and could not dive, so they had to abandon their armor and surrender.
Facing the Tang army's swords and spear points, as well as the archers taking aim, the Wu Yue soldiers were no longer interested in fighting. They thought it was a dead end, so they put down their weapons.
Nearly two hundred people jumped into the river and fled outside the city. However, the Tang Army archers on the wall would not miss this opportunity. They kept firing arrows into the canal and beside the embankment, killing dozens more people.
Only more than a hundred people escaped.
Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the sneak attack and riots in the city had been suppressed and the disaster was not magnified. If these thousands of people were allowed to rush into the city from here to destroy and attack several city gates in the north and east, then what would happen?
If there is a big trouble, if we take advantage of the chaos and cooperate with others, Runzhou City's defense line may really be torn apart.
Fortunately, Su Chen was worried this time and sent someone to patrol. They happened to encounter the night attacker and hit him by mistake. It was mostly a fluke.
Even Su Chen himself was a little scared. This incident was very lucky. If it hadn't been for the conversation between him and Peng Jingjing, he wouldn't have thought about the river. It is very likely that Runzhou City would be in chaos now.
When the morale of the army is in chaos, no matter how many soldiers there are in the city, it will be difficult to restore the decline. At that time, the soldiers can only flee outside the city and cannot organize again.
Many times, the battle is about morale and military spirit. If these two aspects are no longer there, then the army will be like a piece of loose sand, disperse in a hurry, and even mutiny, sneak attacks and defections on the battlefield are possible. At that time, Runzhou City will be
It's really over
Peng Jingjing came over, stood in front of Su Chen and said: "Fortunately, we did not disgrace our orders. We finally wiped out this group of Wu Yue thieves. Moreover, I seemed to have killed a general from Wu Yue who had a high official position just now.
Su Chen nodded and said, "I will send someone to find out this person's identity."
"If you are really above the rank of Marquis Du Yu, deputy commander of the capital, or commander of the capital, you will be considered to have made a great contribution."
Peng Jingjing smiled and said: "Then I should be promoted to another level and become the deputy capital commander!"
Su Chen shook his head and smiled: "It's not that fast. Write down your military exploits first and wait until the war is over. And you don't plan to continue doing it in the military camp. Why would you be promoted to such a high official?"
Peng Jingjing nodded and said: "That's right! Anyway, if you go on an expedition, I will go with the army. If you don't go on an expedition, there is no point in me accompanying the army. It doesn't matter whether I am the deputy commander or not. I might as well stay with you at home."
When Su Chen heard this, his heart softened, and he felt that Peng Jingjing was becoming more and more good at talking about love.
