Chapter 719 Outsmarting Wuzhou City
Countless arrows were tied with fire oil cloth and shot into the camp, immediately igniting the camp, burning with flames reaching into the sky.
At least half of the 20,000 Wuyue troops broke into the camp. At this time, they were surrounded by flames. Some people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and some were burned, screaming and rolling on the ground.
Water and fire are merciless, and the Wu and Yue soldiers are trapped in the fire camp. The sky and the sky are not responding to each other, and the earth and the earth are not working. They are trapped in a sea of fire, and there is only one way to die.
This scene is so miserable, like purgatory.
Sun Chengyou ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and the soldiers fled everywhere, but the fire was so strong that more than 10,000 soldiers were involved in it. There was no need for soldiers to attack, and the fire could devour it.
Bows and arrows from behind were still firing, and more and more people died in the camp.
At this time, the sound of war drums sounded, and two groups of men and horses came out from the mountains and forests at the rear, and came from both sides of the camp along the main camp to encircle and suppress the Wuyue deserters.
"Kill, don't let the Wu Yue soldiers escape!"
"Kill all the Wu Yue soldiers!"
At this time, the elite of the Shence Army exploded with astonishing fighting power. There were cavalrymen holding long-handled knives, and infantrymen holding new Wu knives. They were extremely sharp and slashed. The Wuyue soldiers who faced the enemy head-on had never encountered such a ferocious enemy.
The collapse began immediately.
Puff puff puff!
The blade passed by, breaking clothing and armor, causing countless casualties.
Even the Wu Yue army that did not enter the camp was defeated by the elite Shence Army who came from both sides of the camp.
Sun Chengyou was protected by soldiers and used a shield to protect himself from the fire, and escaped with difficulty.
"Quickly retreat!"
Sun Chengyou knew that the situation was over, so he did not dare to fight and fled with thousands of remaining soldiers.
However, just after escaping for seven or eight miles, a troop of soldiers and horses came out from a mountain ridge. It was Tai Shi Zhao, holding a big sword and riding a green horse. He was majestic. He came with three thousand soldiers and horses to intercept and kill him.
join the army.
When Sun Chengyou saw that something was wrong and he could not return to Wuzhou by the original route, he immediately changed his horse's direction and planned to escape towards the north.
However, just five or six miles out, the drums started beating again, and Hu Chengxian led his troops to rush out, blocking and ambushing them again.
"Sun Chengyou, come and accept your fate."
"Kill, don't let Sun Chengyou go!"
"Ah!" Sun Chengyou was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect there was an ambush here. There were only two thousand soldiers around him and he was unable to defeat them. He could only hitchhike to break through.
This road was blocked, so Sun Chengyou led his troops to break out from the east and planned to go to Yuezhou.
However, as soon as they reached the banks of the Lishui River, they encountered Lin Juyi leading troops to ambush Sun Chengyou again.
At this time, Sun Chengyou had no way forward, and there were pursuers behind him. His face was ashen, so he could only bite the bullet and fight.
When Taishi Zhao and Hu Chengxian led their troops to surround them, they joined forces and annihilated all the remaining soldiers. Even Sun Chengyou himself was cut off his horse with a knife and died on the spot.
At dawn in the east, the battle ended, and Yang Wu's rejuvenating army won a complete victory!
Su Chen did not withdraw his troops because of this, but sent people to act according to the plan. Taking Sun Chengyou's banner and body, he found hundreds of people to put on the clothes of Wuyue soldiers, pretend to be deserters, and fled towards Wuzhou City.
Then he sent Tai Shi Zhao and Hu Chengxian to lead their troops to pursue them.
Three hours later, near noon, the deserters returned to Wuzhou City.
"Hurry up and open the city gate. General Sun Chengyou is wounded, and the enemy troops are chasing you several miles behind."
The generals guarding the city saw the crowds and horses boiling over, and the enemy troops were indeed chasing them. There was General Sun Chengyou's banner and war horses under the city. Sun Chengyou himself was lying on the horse. He was convinced that it was him and there was a token, so he opened the city.
Open the door and let the deserters in.
At this moment, the hundreds of remnant soldiers, all disguised as elite warriors of the Shence Army, suddenly launched a sneak attack, killed the defenders at the city gate, and seized the east gate of Wuzhou.
"Kill!"
"The city gate is broken."
These hundreds of warriors pulled out the Qi family sword. It was extremely sharp, sharper than the swords, spears and spears of the Wuyue soldiers. They cut off many weapons of the Wuyue people in one encounter, and in hand-to-hand combat, this kind of blade was very suitable for fighting.
It's an exaggeration to say that one is worth ten, but one is worth five is not a problem.
Even though there were only a few hundred people, the city gate defenders were defeated and defeated.
At this time, a group of cavalry came first. There were hundreds of cavalry, and they were extremely fast. The leader was none other than Tai Shi Zhao, who was brave and brave with his sword. He led the troops and rushed into Wuzhou City along the east gate.
Hu Chengxian and Lin Juyi also came with the army behind them and fought into the city together.
The Wu and Yue troops in the city were unable to compete. Some fled from the west gate and the north gate, and many soldiers surrendered.
When Su Chen came over with thousands of troops, Wuzhou City had already been captured.
This time he used a series of tricks and tried his best to easily defeat Wu Yue's elite army, capture Wuzhou, and capture nearly 20,000 Wu Yue troops and horses.
This battle demonstrated Su Chen's superb military skills.
When Qi Ying and Wei Dongqiang in the rear heard the news, they took a deep breath and felt that Su Chen's tricks were like Zhuge Kongming coming back to life, he was truly a god!
"This Su Chen is really not simple!"
"Yes, I used to think that he was a scholar and a talented man, but unexpectedly, he actually knows the art of war and is so good at using troops."
"With this person here, our great cause of restoring the country is more stable. In the future, all military generals will support the new Lord Wu even more, because Su Chen is the elder brother of the new Lord Wu. He knows how to use troops. No one can despise him. Like before
That’s so unruly.”
These two generals no longer dare to look down on Master Su Chen. They used to think that he was just a talented man who knew how to be an official and could handle some strategies for governing the country and the people in the rear. He should not know anything about military affairs.
But now, the two generals understood that Su Chen, an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, must not be underestimated, otherwise, he could easily be eliminated by Su Chen's tricks.
In Wuzhou City, the Shence Army was completely occupied. Su Chen gathered the generals in the Commander's Mansion and praised the generals who had made great achievements in battle. Du Yuhou praised them and asked the Military Affairs Sima to write down the generals' achievements in the merit book and wait to discuss their merits.
Give reward.
At the same time, Su Chen ordered an order to calm the people, not to disturb the people in the city, to protect the wealthy households and scholars, and to take some of the money from the granary to help the poor people in the city, which won the hearts of the people.
"General, should we take advantage of the victory and send troops to attack Hangzhou City to the north?" Tai Shi Zhao asked.
Su Chen thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's not necessary for the time being. Let's settle down in Wuzhou City now, reorganize and train the surrendered troops here, recruit soldiers into the army, expand the army, gather grain and grass from various states and counties, hoard them as military rations, and then send them out
People contacted General Lu outside Yuezhou City, and when the time comes, we will attack Yuezhou, Wu Yue's east prefecture, and see if Wu Yue sends troops to rescue. If Wu Yue rescues, then besiege the city for reinforcements. If not, then conquer Yuezhou first, and then join forces to besiege Hangzhou City.
, just use your troops safely!"
Tai Shi Zhao, Hu Chengxian, Lin Juyi and others all nodded and had no objections to General Su Chen's arrangements.
As a result, Su Chen stood still and stationed himself in Wuzhou. He ordered Qi Ying and Wei Dongqiang to station themselves in Wuyi and temporarily reorganize their troops before preparing to go north to join the army of Lu Chaoqun and his son.
