Chapter 348: Chengde Army Was Defeated, and Zhang Liao Became a Famous General!

Zhou Yu stood outside the city, watching the fire in the city soaring into the sky. There were still large armies outside the city pouring into the city. It had been two hours since they attacked Chengde. At this moment, the sky was slightly brightened, and almost nothing could be seen on the city wall. When Liu Jun arrived, only a small part of the tower was still defended.

An anxious war is going on in the city, and every street and alley is a battlefield for them to fight for. It was in the hands of Sun Jun a quarter of an hour, and it was captured by Liu Jun in that quarter of an hour. Maybe it will be controlled by Sun Jun again in another quarter of an hour. , more than 200,000 soldiers launched a desperate struggle in the small Chengde Army Town.

Zhou Yu knew that he could not drag it out like this and must fight quickly. It had been five days since he was defeated in Guangling City. Five days was not long, but it was definitely not short. It was enough for Liu Bei to gather troops and horses in Qingzhou. , Killed until Cheng De, even if it is not there now, Zhou Yu still can't rest assured.

With the lessons learned from Guangling City, Zhou Yu would never be able to let go as long as he couldn't capture Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun for a minute. After all, he was only a little bit away from getting rid of his inner demons, just a little bit away!

But fortunately, he was a blessing in disguise. He had awakened his indomitable trait, which can be said to be against the odds, and finally the world was not harsh on him.

Another three hours passed. It was already noon. Most of the city had been occupied. Only a small part of the military town was still under the control of Zhang Fei and the others. Zhou Yu had dispersed all his scouts. , as long as there is any disturbance within ten miles, he can't hide it.

He will not make the same mistake he made last time in Guangling City. This time, he will capture Chengde without fail, and even capture Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang Jaw alive!

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you are going to lose to me this time. After I kill your favorite generals and then kill Zhang Liao, it will be your turn."

In the city, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Jaw gathered at the east gate of the city, preparing to fight out from here and go to Guangling City to meet Gu Rubing. At this moment, the three of them only had more than 15,000 riders left under their command. There are more than 30,000 infantrymen, and the total is barely 50,000.

For five hours, more than half of their men and horses had been lost. Fortunately, Sun Jun was not in a good mood. There were probably more than 80,000 casualties. Especially the capture of the city tower cost them nearly nearly a year. Of the 40,000 people, only the 20,000 archers responsible for guarding the city tower were almost wiped out, and only a few people escaped.

Now, they only have six streets left near the east city wall that have not been lost. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang Zha are still as strong as ever. They have Gu Rubing's "I am the destiny" characteristic. As long as their vitality is not lost, they will definitely He won't be exhausted, like Zhang Liao's situation, because his vitality is about to dry up, and no matter how much strength he has, he can't use it.

"Brother, we can't delay any longer. We have to fight our way out of the city. Even if we lose Chengde, we can't let all the remaining 50,000 people die here!"

After Zhao Yun killed a group of cavalry again, he came to Zhang Fei's side. At this moment, his body was covered with blood. He looked like a bloody man, but they belonged to the enemy. The blood on his body had condensed and was about to become solid. .

"You're right. If this continues, sooner or later we will all be eaten by them."

Zhang Fei swung his Zhangba Snake Spear and chopped off the head of a second-rate general. He had unlimited physical strength. He did not show any signs of fatigue at this moment, including his soldiers. Killing a few people can directly replenish his physical strength. This Let each of them be as brave as the god of war.

After a fierce battle, their combat power was no different from before, and there was no physical exertion. That's why Sun Jun failed to capture the military town for so long. However, this was only temporary. For Sun Jun, capturing Chengde was just a matter of time. It was only a matter of time before Liu Jun was completely annihilated. What they needed was to ensure that they were not allowed to escape.

Three miles outside the east city wall, a cavalry force of 10,000 people is ambushing here, waiting quietly for possible enemies. If there are enemies who want to escape, they can only go here. To the north is the gathering place of Sun's army, and to the southwest are This is the border of Yangzhou. Even if you escape, it will be no different than death. You can only escape through the eastern city gate.

This cavalry of 10,000 people was led by Sun Jian's general Han Dang. Han Dang was good at equestrian archery and had extraordinary arm strength. He was a famous archer in Jiangdong. The cavalry he commanded also mainly used bows and arrows and was good at long-range. A surprise attack is different from other colliding cavalry. They usually stay far behind or on the flanks of the enemy to harass them and make them overwhelmed.

"General, what does Lu Meng mean? He took away all the work of earning military exploits and only gave us this drudgery."

One of Han Dang's lieutenants muttered dissatisfiedly that they were clearly part of a serious cavalry formation, but they were described as irregular troops by Lu Meng, and now they were sent to guard such a useless place. On the other hand, Lu Meng, Not only did Yingying be the first to charge into Chengde, but he was also appointed as the deputy commander of the siege. After this battle, I am afraid that Lu Meng will have his nose in the sky, and he will not take them soldiers in the military town seriously. .

"Okay, okay, we are here to ambush the fleeing Liu Jun under the order of the lord, not Lu Meng's order. As for Lu Meng, he is a son of a military family and is used to being arrogant. There is no need to argue with him."

Han Dang's face was heavy, and he was deeply angry about Lu Meng's words and deeds. However, the other party was a prefect of a county, and he was just a small Sima from another department. How could he compete with him as a prefect.

"I just feel sorry for mentioning the general. Obviously, the general's ability is not inferior to Lu Meng, but his official position is so far behind his, and he is humiliated by him in every way."

The deputy general gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"Okay, don't mention this matter again!"

Han Dang interrupted the deputy general with an unhappy face. He knew that Lu Meng was arrogant and spoiled, but he had no strength to compete with him. There was no other way except to endure.

"The other party is definitely not a fool. Someone will definitely escape. As long as we capture them, we will also get military merits."

Hearing this, the deputy general finally stopped and stopped making unnecessary complaints.

Because there was an ambush in the north, Zhou Yu sent out 2,000 scouts, but there was no scout on the mountain road in the north. Nonsense, there were already 10,000 cavalry ambushed, what's the use of scouts.

In the valley, Han Dang was resting with his eyes closed. In the distance, the Chengde military town was still ablaze. In the cold winter, a warm oasis was created, which made people want to get closer.

In the far north, Han Dang, who was worried, sent more than a dozen riders to garrison here to guard against the north. At this moment, these dozen riders were drinking and eating meat in a roadside wine shop, so happy.

One of the leaders was feasting on a plate of braised beef. With three or two chopsticks, half a pound of beef went down his stomach. He picked up the wine jar and drank a breath of wine, then burped with satisfaction. The other soldiers followed suit, eating meat and drinking wine.

One of them was a new recruit who had not drunk any wine and only ate a few things. His face was full of worry.

"Captain, can we do this? Didn't the battalion commander ask us to gather intelligence here? In case of a sudden attack by Liu Jun."

A big man with a full beard laughed and patted the new recruit on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, this is our territory. Liu Bei and his men dare not come here. This kind of job is a good job that our sergeant got by paying five taels of silver to Qu Chang. Enjoy it."

The new soldier still had a worried look on his face. The sergeant next to him seemed to see his worry and smiled and poured a bowl of wine for the new soldier.

"Don't worry, I will take care of anything that happens."

The new soldier took the wine bowl and drank it all. After more than a dozen people had enough wine and food, they stood up and rubbed their round stomachs and prepared to leave. The waiter of the wine shop immediately came over and stopped a few people.

"Hey, guest, a total of one tael of silver and thirty coins, who will pay the bill?"

Hearing this, the cavalrymen who were about to leave stopped and turned to look at the waiter. The big man with a beard sneered.

"Waiter, are you new here? When did we brothers pay for our drinks here?"

"Sir, I can't make such a big decision. You should wait until our shopkeeper comes back."

How could the waiter dare to make the decision? His annual salary was less than one tael of silver. He dared not agree to these guests. After hearing the waiter's words, the smiling head suddenly changed color. The bearded man next to him saw this scene and immediately changed his face. He grabbed the waiter's collar and lifted him up.

"You shopkeepers don't dare to talk to us like this. Who do you think you are?"

After saying that, the bearded man punched the waiter and curled up on the ground in pain. At this time, the shopkeeper finally heard the sound outside and hurried out. After seeing that it was this group of drunk soldiers making trouble, the shopkeeper immediately changed his face and walked towards the few people quickly.

"Soldier, sir, I am ignorant, please forgive me, sirs, just go, just go."

The shopkeeper was smiling and looking at the soldiers. The sergeant pushed away the crowd and walked to the shopkeeper, putting on a hypocritical smile again.

"Go? Why do you want to go, shopkeeper? We gave you the silver, but you haven't given us the change yet. Are you bullying customers because you are big?"

After hearing the words of the sergeant, the shopkeeper's face changed.

"Soldier, sir, how much did you give?"

"Don't you know how much we gave?"

"This, this, sir..."

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, and the bearded man picked up the shopkeeper again.

"We paid ten taels of silver, and your food and wine cost one tael of silver, so you need to give us nine taels of silver!"

"General, General, spare me, our entire stall does not have as much cash as ten taels of silver."

The shopkeeper broke free from the bearded man's control, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them frantically, hoping that they could bypass him. He buried his head in the ground and did not dare to look up until he heard a few sounds of falling to the ground. The shopkeeper looked up and saw that the soldiers who were still blackmailing him were now lying in a pool of blood.

A team of cavalry rushed over in the distance, and a handsome young man put one tael of silver on the table and said to the shopkeeper.

"We paid for their wine."

After that, the man got on his horse and rode away. The shopkeeper and the waiter kowtowed on the ground to thank him.

"My benefactor, my benefactor, I don't know who you are?"

"We are the subordinates of Emperor Liu. Don't worry, Emperor Liu will take over Yangzhou soon, and then there will be no more such bullying soldiers!"

The cavalry had gone far away, leaving only the fallen corpse and two people kneeling to thank him.

The cavalrymen who left were none other than Taishi Ci, who led 500 scouts equipped with Zhuge Liang's crossbows to clear the way for the army. They had already destroyed countless Sun army strongholds along the way. With Zhuge Liang's crossbows, their combat effectiveness was much stronger. In addition, the use of Zhuge Liang's products also increased their attack power. The two added together had a higher gain.

Two days ago, they had arrived at Guangling City and met Zhang Liao, who had recovered. When Gu Rubing saw Zhang Liao, his first impression was the huge change in Zhang Liao's temperament. Gu Rubing immediately had a guess in his mind. After opening Zhang Liao's panel, he found that Zhang Liao had indeed been promoted to a famous general.

Dengfengxianzhen, the name tells you that it is a feature used for charging into battle. As the commander of an army, it can provide 500% attack power, 300% speed bonus, and 200% toughness bonus. This bonus is tailor-made for cavalry.

This is not all. The most abnormal thing is still to come. When the army fights as a vanguard, it can get a double bonus of this attribute. After doubling, it is a full 1000% attack power, 600% speed, and 400% toughness bonus.
