Chapter 823: Poyang was attacked (2)
"Report to the general! There is a cavalry of enemy troops with over 10,000 people lying in the nearby mountains and forests, and is now rushing around the county soldiers! The enemy is extremely strong, and the county soldiers can no longer resist it!"
Hearing that only a ten thousand enemy cavalry appeared, Huang Zhong's face was slowing down, and then he angrily scolded the soldiers who reported the news: "You don't even know if there are ambushers in the enemy? The enemy has come out to make trouble before reporting to me. What do you spies do for food? You will go to your general office to get a hundred military sticks!"
"promise!"
Ignoring the whistle detective with a sad face, Huang Zhong ordered the generals around him: "Leave thousands of people to guard the southern city gate, and the rest of the generals follow me to surround and kill the enemy's elite cavalry!"
"promise!"
More than 40,000 elite soldiers, mostly infantry soldiers, returned to the 150,000 county soldiers under the leadership of Huang Zhong and others, and began to siege and kill the ambushing elite cavalry.
This sudden appearance of more than 10,000 elite cavalry was led by Zhang Liao, a famous general with a name. After Yang Tao led his army westward to the surrounding area of Poyang Port, he was secretly arranged by Yang Tao in the mountains and forests south of Poyang City.
Because Zhang Liao led the elite cavalry with a fast speed and fewer people, it is difficult to find in dense forests far away from the city, and can support Poyang City in time.
Even though Huang Zhong led the navy to attack Poyang Port not long ago, Yang Tao did not transfer him back. At this time, it was just in handy when Huang Zhong led 200,000 Han troops to attack Poyang City.
With the assistance of the famous generals of Zhenzi, tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen rushed into the Han army composed of 150,000 ordinary soldiers at will. The Han army could not stop the charge of the elite cavalry, and more than 10,000 war horses rushed into a pile of 150,000 formations of the 150,000 Han army into a pile of tofu.
After Huang Zhong led more than 40,000 elite troops back, he could not catch up with Zhang Liao and others for a while, and could only follow him and eat dust.
"What are the abilities to fight Huang if you have the ability to escape?"
Seeing that half an hour had passed, even if Huang Zhong rode a war horse, he could not catch up with the spirit cavalry led by Zhang Liao. After the half hour of the spirit cavalry, the Han army was not only more chaotic, but also lost 30,000 soldiers. Huang Zhong's face was extremely difficult to see, and he couldn't help but curse at the spirit cavalry in the smoke and dust ahead.
"Since General Huang is going to die, I will fulfill your wish!"
What Huang Zhong did not expect was that his angry shout actually cursed Zhang Liao in front of him.
Zhang Liao asked the gang of elite cavalry to continue to rush into the enemy, but he shot out from the elite cavalry, and the bright silver spear came directly facing Huang Zhong.
"Kill!" Huang Zhong didn't think much about why Zhang Liao left the elite cavalry team and rushed towards him at this time. A fire dragon flew out and rushed straight towards Zhang Liao's chest through his vertical slash.
The spear was divided into dozens of images, and Zhang Liao was storming the spear light and charged regardless of the charge.
Huang Zhong's fire dragon flooded Zhang Liao's body, and the silver light of "dingding" appeared from the fire dragon. The fire dragon with flames and flash points intertwined, rolling, turning into fragments in a bang, and then Zhang Liao's slightly embarrassed figure appeared.
Although he was a little busy in the face of Huang Zhong's attack, Zhang Liao was not discouraged. Looking at Huang Zhong, who was stronger than him, he seemed to be watching a dead person.
"General Huang is so strong that Zhang Liao is too ashamed of, but today, General Huang, you will never be able to leave here! Why don't the general surrender earlier, my Lord may spare your life!"
"Bastard, you and your ten thousand elite cavalry want Huang's life. It's ridiculous! Even if there are ambushers here, Huang, if he wants to leave, no one can stop me!"
Huang Zhong rebuked Zhang Liao with a angrily smile, very disdainful of Zhang Liao's words.
Facing Huang Zhong who was scolding, Zhang Liao didn't say much, but showed a helpless and pity look, and rushed towards Huang Zhong!
The two generals of the army fought together, and Zhang Liao's strength was obviously not as strong as Huang Zhong, who was already a famous general of the spirit, and was always suppressed by the other party. Zhang Liao suffered a little bit of injury within dozens of rounds, but Huang Zhong was as powerful as the rainbow and the battle became more and more courageous.
Even so, Zhang Liao still fought hard without fear, which made Huang Zhong a little doubt whether the thief general in front of him came to die sincerely today?
...
Outside the west gate of the camp where Yang Tao is located, the Han army and the soldiers of Jianghe County on the West Road have fought together, and it is difficult to separate.
Just a few hours ago, the formation effect of the flame formation disappeared and the long-range attack power decreased. The Han army on the West Road successfully built more than a dozen floating bridges on a trench dozens of meters wide with the simple equipment built by using resources in the past few hours.
Of course, the price was extremely heavy. There were a lot of dead bodies floating in the trench dozens of meters wide, and the water in the trench was dyed bright red. And the corpses piled up within a thousand meters of the trench and covered the entire ground.
The war was fierce. In order to build these dozens of floating bridges, the Han army had no time to restrain the bodies that fell on their sides. They stepped on the corpses all over the ground and built the floating bridge. After being repelled several times, they finally completed the construction of the floating bridge after the flame formation effect of the generals of Jianghe County was over.
Then the Han army, who had red eyes, fought with the elite soldiers of Jianghe County who were constantly rushing out of the camp within a hundred meters outside the camp. The two sides were fighting for control of the floating bridge, and the battle was very fierce.
The Han army was exhausted after attacking for a day, but Jianghe County did not have an advantage in the number of people. In addition, the soldiers and generals of Jianghe County divided and blocked the rear route of the Han army on the West Road. It was already evening now that the two armies were still fighting!
"Lord, the entire army has been dispatched in the camp except for the Liangyi Seven-Star Array! Our army still has the advantage at present, and it is expected that it will almost wipe out the Han army in the West in the end, but our army will suffer extremely heavy casualties!"
Wang Xiu, Zheng Tong and others in the central army's tent kept reporting the situation outside to Yang Tao.
It was already night, and the training of the Liangyi Seven Star Formation was over. Yang Tao and the civil and military commanders of more than 26,000 soldiers were eating supper in the central army's tent and listening to the current battle report.
Sitting in the big tent were girls such as Shen Ruomeng, Ji Liangrou, Mo Xue, etc., Yingying and Yanyan were very warm.
If Wang Xiu and others had not told the tragic battle situation outside, it would have caused the illusion of being in a comfortable place.
The battle is expected to end almost the next day and tomorrow, and the rebels represented by Jianghe County have almost won.
The massive number of casualties was expected, and there was nothing to say.
Today, except for a few people in this tent, most of them will not sleep anymore. At least they have to wait until dawn and be ready to deal with possible situations at any time.
Just as the time of eating, a bad news was sent into the big tent.
"Report! The Han general Huang Zhong led 200,000 troops to attack Poyang City..."
"How could Poyang City be attacked in the hinterland of our army?" Before the messenger had finished speaking, Wang Xiu jumped up and shouted in disbelief.
He couldn't think of how the Han army could bypass the army and attack Poyang City.
"Poshui can directly lead to Poyang City." Yang Tao explained lightly, not blaming Wang Xiu, Zheng Tong, Cheng Gongying and other civil officials and advisers for arbitrarily transferring most of the defenders in Poyang City. After all, these people were recruited by him from the north.
People in the north can easily ignore the role of rivers, lakes and other water systems in the wars in the south, and it is not unreasonable to understand that such big mistakes will occur.
After hearing about the transfer of troops in Poyang City, Yang Tao knew that Poyang City was in danger of being attacked by the Han army.
But he did not send troops to him because Zhang Liao's ambush was enough to deal with everything. Naturally, Yang Tao would not say this to everyone for the time being.
"Just let them worry for a while, it will be a lesson for them!"
Looking at Wang Xiu, Zheng Tong and others who were anxious and sweating, Yang Tao said nothing, but just smiled and saw how they handled this matter.
