Chapter 68 Xiaoyaojin (2)

"My generals, it's time to defeat the enemy!" Although the broken armor was covered with blood, Gao Chong raised his arms with confidence and exclaimed, and his tired face was even more disgusting. After experiencing a arduous ten-day defensive battle, welcoming Gao Chong's soldiers would be a decisive battle.

With the trusted gazes cast by his generals, Gao Chong's heart was even more passionate and excited.

"General Gan Ning, can you do this by ordering your troops to attack Yuan Shu's army's water camp before tonight?" Gao Chong's tone was calm. After experiencing the cruel battle formation, Gao Chong's commander temperament was increasing day by day.

"I'd rather not let down the order of the general!" Gan Ning replied loudly, stepping out to receive the order.

For more than ten days, Gao Chong has kept Gan Ning's three thousand elite naval forces as reserve teams. After experiencing the glory of the first day of the battle, Gan Ning could only watch the friendly forces struggled to support the enemy's attack. He was so excited that he was fighting. When he heard that Gao Chong was finally going to fight himself, Gan Ning's bold face was even more energetic.

"Mei Gan, Lei Xu, and Ru quickly selected 600 brave and dying men to reward them, and listen to my orders at any time." Gao Chong turned his eyes to Mei Lei and the others.

"Abide by the order." Mei Gan and Lei Xu also took the order in unison and left.

The big tent suddenly became much empty. Outside the big tent, the soldiers shouted one after another. Gao Chong calmed down and turned his body to Xu Shu on the side, and He Qiao.

"Military advisor, I will leave the task of the left-behind camp to you for negotiation!" Gao Chong said solemnly.

He Qia heard the intention of Gao Chong's words to lead troops to fight in person, and strongly advised: "Pengshang, as the soul of a military force, must not take risks!"

"People coach--- Although Yuan Shujun is low in morale, he is definitely not a vulnerable person. You need to be more careful when going to war!" Xu Shu knew Gao Chong's temper, and it was useless to block things that Gao Chong had already decided.

On June 30, the third year of Jian'an, Shenyou, and Yezi.

The black curtain enveloped Xiaoyaojin in the darkness. An army of 600 people, under the cover of night, advanced along the east bank of the Feishui River to the camp of Yuan Shujun.

The one who marched at the forefront of this team of death was Gao Chong, dressed in military uniform and carrying a sharp hand. Behind him, Lei Xu was like an iron tower, guarding him tightly.

"Have all the enemy's scouts been solved?" Gao Chong stared at Yuan Jun camp not far away with his sharp eyes, and asked Mei Gan, who was spying on the situation in front of him.

Mei Gan agilely dodged the enemy camp's torches and said, "Thirteen, no one left."

"Okay---, as soon as we find that the enemy water village is on fire, we will rush in!" Gao Chong said.

The high hills of Feishui, the banks of Xiaoyaojin River, the commander of Yuan Shu army - Ji Ling army tent.

The pouring wine bottle was constantly flowing out, and the smell of wine spread in the tent, and the fragrance scattered. Ji Ling took off his armor, his chest was open, and he was lying on the bed with his back facing the sky. Beside him, there were seven or eight empty wine jars lying down.

"Get the wine--!" Ji Ling was drunk and shouted loudly.

"Why are you no longer drinking? Don't you bastards want to live?" Ji Ling stumbled and kicked an empty wine can out of the tent.

These days, Ji Ling's heart was so angry that he clearly had the advantage, but he could not defeat his opponent. He attacked 20,000 troops for ten days, and even his own troops were broken into the formation, but the enemy was like an old cowhide that could not be cooked, and he still stood stubbornly in the camp.

The tenacity of the opponent was really beyond Ji Ling's expectations.

Even the battle with Liu Bei in Xiaopei last year was not as difficult as it is now. Liu Bei's strength was just because of his powerful Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and other generals, while Gao Chong in front of him was a strong general and brave general, with an amazing combat power.

Yesterday, Shouchun's special envoy had arrived in the army. The lord Yuan Shu was quite dissatisfied with the delay in eliminating Gao Chong. In the imperial letter brought by the envoy, Yuan Shu had given the final order. If he could not defeat Gao Chong within two days, the position of commander of the first army would be a must.

What's worse is that the envoy also brought urgent military information. The two side divisions under Gao Chong formed a cross-border attack against Shouchun from the east and west. In the east, they occupied Xiquyang, located downstream of the Huai River, and in the west, they occupied Yangquan. If the enemy breaks through the defense line in Shaobi area, not only will Shouchun be in danger, but his 20,000 troops will also be trapped in the enemy's encirclement.

Now, Ji Ling will not be able to seize whether to continue attacking or withdraw his troops to help.

There are two results of continuing the attack. One is to defeat the current main force of Gao Chong. As long as the enemy is defeated, the other two will retreat without fighting. However, according to the current situation, the possibility of breaking the enemy is slim; the other is that the army has been defeated for a long time and is dragged in the Xiaoyaojin area, and the rear path is very likely to be cut off by Gao Chong’s army. At that time, the food and supplies will be left unsuccessful, and the result will be the defeat of the entire army.

Since the battle is fruitless, withdrawing troops and guarding Chengde is undoubtedly the best choice, but doing so can only prove your incompetence. What will come back to Shouchun and wait for you will never be as simple as resignation.

Wine is such a good thing. You can think of nothing when you get drunk and you will not have any worries.

Outside the military tent, there were faint sounds of shouting and killing in the whistling sound of the wind.

"What sound!" Ji Ling was awakened by the cold wind blowing into the gap in the curtain. He pressed his painful head with his hand.

"Report to the general, the enemy - the enemy attacked the water camp at night!" Before he could ask again, the soldiers who reported the report stumbled and ran in.

Ji Ling hurriedly put on his clothes and went out of the tent, but saw that the camp was already in chaos. In the direction of the water village near Feishui, the fires in the sky had already rushed to the sky, and the sounds of tearing and killing were endless.

"What's so panic? What's the use of a few warships!" As the commander of the first army, Ji Ling knew the power of the navy under Gao Chong's command, so the thousand navy troops on the ground were usually just reserves for transporting food and supplies.

"But the general, the people in the battalions are now in panic. It is rumored that Gao Chong's army attacked Chengde and cut off our retreat!" A personal guard replied tremblingly.

"Come here, get me up with my army!" Ji Ling shouted loudly.

The night breeze blew on his face, which made Ji Ling come back from his drunken state and return to normal. With his rich experience accumulated over the years, he noticed possible dangers.

Not only Ji Ling saw the fire in the sky, but Gao Chong, who was waiting for the outside of Yuan Shu’s military camp, also saw it. When the fire lighted by Gan Ning shone on half of the sky, Gao Chong knew that the best time to attack was coming.

"Kill in!" The long wand in Gao Chong's hand flashed with a snarling cold light. He squeezed his legs and the flames under his climax suddenly soared into the air, jumping over the antlers and fence set up by Yuan Shujun in front.

Behind him, Mei Gan and Lei Xu each led 300 death-death men to follow each other.

"Gao Chong is here, the person blocking the way will die!" Gao Chong, who was the first to break into the enemy camp, shouted loudly, killing dozens of Yuan soldiers in a row. These days, the morale of Yuan Shu soldiers has been declining day by day, and there has been no such sharpness in the first battle. The firelight in the water camp made the army panic, and then was killed by Gao Chong, a new force, and suddenly became in chaos.

"Stop it quickly, don't let the enemy approach the main tent!" Two Yuan army generals attacked Gao Chong from left and right.

"Kill--." Gao Chong, who had already had red eyes, urged Ma Ying-jeong to sting in anger. In front of the rapid speed of the flames, Yuan's general could not stop him at all.

Just after the two of them were stunned for a moment, Lei Xu, Mei Gan, and one by one, knocked down the enemy general. When Yuan's soldiers saw Gao Chong's army fighting bravely, they were already scared, so they dared not go forward to die again.

"Not good - Gao Chong is here!"

Ji Ling hurriedly put on his armor. As soon as he took the three sharp swords handed over by his personal soldiers, he heard the sound of killing everywhere. He hurriedly climbed the hill to watch, but saw a Yuan army in front of Yuan's camp, who was intercepting him and killing him straight towards his main tent.

Ji Ling looked back and was shocked. It turned out that there were less than a hundred personal soldiers beside him, and the enemy's attack would come to his eyes in a flash. How could these more than a hundred people resist it?

"General, we can't stop it from the front anymore, let's run away!" a personal soldier said tremblingly.

"Damn the coward!" Ji Ling turned around and cut off the head of his personal soldiers, then kicked the bloody head far away. When the more than a hundred personal soldiers saw that their companions were killed, they all looked as if they were ashamed and dared not say the word "escaping".

Ji Lingfei flew on the horse and shouted loudly: "Go up the hill and beat the drum!"

Faced with the sudden embarrassment, Ji Ling finally recovered his calmness after a brief panic. More than 100 personal soldiers guarded the high hills with long spears to form a solid barrier, and it was not so easy for the enemy to rush over.

The drums were heard far away at night. After the Yuan Shu army soldiers in the chaos heard the drums, they gathered at Gaoqiu where Ji Ling was. Although Gao Chong, the strange soldier, was invincible, was in the face of invincible, but the Yuan Shu army was large in number, and it was impossible to kill Ji Ling.

"You——, rush over from a high place and cut off the enemy from the middle!" Ji Ling saw it clearly. Gao Chong's troops were not much, which gave him the courage to fight back.

"Run to the right!" Gao Chong stabbed an enemy soldier with one stone, and threw the screaming enemy soldier away.

Now that Yuan Shu's army is ready, the effect of the surprise attack is no longer obvious. The most urgent task is to move closer to the Gan Ning army as soon as possible. Only by gathering together can we have the strength to completely crush Yuan Shu's army's dying counterattack.

"Pampered coach, Lei Xu is trapped in the formation!" Mei Gan tried hard to kill the pursuers behind him and said anxiously.

"Ji Ling, dare to fight Gao Chong!" Gao Chong was already in blood-stained robe, and there were countless soldiers in Yuan Shu's army who died under the slaughter. Hearing the news that Lei Xu was trapped, Gao Chong returned and raised his arms and shouted. The soldiers of Yuan Shu, who had already been frightened, saw that Gao Chong, the plague god, went back again, and dodged and gave way.

Ji Ling woke up from drunkenness, and now it was the time to feel weak. He saw Gao Chongwang from afar and was unstoppable. He walked into the army like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and felt a little timid in his heart.

"I heard that when Gao Chong was in Shenting Ridge, he fought against dozens of Sun Ce's generals alone. He was brave and fearless. Now he realized that the rumors were all false when he saw them!" Ji Ling sighed.

Just when Ji Ling sighed for a short time, Gao Chong had already entered Lei Xu's trap and rescued him. Then he shouted and joined Gan Ning and left.

On the bank of Xiaoyaojin, the fierce battle between the two sides has just begun.

"Life and death are here!" After Gan Ning solved the Yuan Shu army's naval division, he led 3,000 elite troops to take advantage of the victory.

Gao Chong and Gan Ning were like two crossing torrents running into Yuan Shujun's camp. The sound of swords and guns hitting the horns of bows and crossbows, and the neighing of war horses echoed in the lonely night. Gao Chong's army kept wandering around, like an extremely sharp sickle, opening bloody holes in Yuan Shujun's camp.

The dying body of Yuan soldiers who lost their heads during the battle was lying on the falling flags. The injured war horses struggled and made heavy breathing sounds. The air was filled with the smell of soldiers wearing cowhide armor. After a night of fierce fighting, the battle between the two sides finally came to an end.

As dawn approached, Ji Ling, who had been trying to support him, saw that the situation was hopeless and led only 1,000 remaining troops to retreat towards Chengde. Among his 20,000 army, more than 5,000 people died in battle, and another 13,000 Yuan soldiers were captured by Gao Chong's army.

Gao Chong defeated Yuan Shu's army with 6,000 troops in this battle. Behind the glory of winning with less than more, the price was that three thousand elite soldiers would sprinkle blood on the battlefield. Among them, there were less than 30 dead soldiers who fought with Gao Chong.

Gao Chong was covered in blood, and the people and horses were all bright red. It was hard to tell whether it was his own blood or other people's blood. Lei Xu and Mei Qian were not much better. Lei Xu was injured by a knife more than ten parts of his body. Mei Qian was killed by the enemy in a fierce battle. In the fierce battle, he still fought to the death without retreating. The 300 soldiers under his command were only ten.

"General, if you climb over this slope, you will be a virtue!"

Ji Ling was fleeing in panic and gasped heavily. He took off his helmet, his face was still in shock, and the war horse under his crotch was also washed away, constantly venting white air. Since he left the battlefield, Gao Chong's pursuers have been chasing him. Now he has finally reached Chengde. As long as he enters the city, Gao Chong can't do anything to himself.

"I'll get home after entering the city!" Ji Ling encouraged the soldiers who could no longer stand up, and only stayed for a while, and the sound of horse hooves came out again afterwards.

"General, wait for us!" Ji Ling had no time to pay attention to the wailing of the soldiers behind him. The dark walls of Chengde City were getting closer and closer in sight. He tried hard to slap the almost dehydrated war horse. As long as he approached a little closer, the defenders in the city could appear to block the pursuers.

Chengde's city gate was closed tightly, and the raised bridge made Ji Ling hold back the horse's reins.

"Open the door quickly——I am Ji Ling!" Ji Ling raised his head and shouted to the city.

"Ji Lingpin, do you still recognize this flag?" A loud voice sounded from the city, followed by a dense rain of arrows.

Ji Ling waved three sharp knives to block the arrow feathers and looked up at the city carefully. He saw a big "high" character dancing in the morning sun on the high flags on the city wall. On the city wall, a general standing majestic.

"Zhu Huan is here, Chengde has become the bag of our army!" The general on the city laughed.
