The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 72
The soldiers under Zhang Yan ran away desperately, and Zhao Yun led the army to chase desperately.

In this way, you chased me and fled all the way to the shore of Hengshui.

At the place where they crossed the river yesterday, Zhang Yan's army had no way out.

Taking advantage of the chaos, some soldiers boarded the warships used to cross the river yesterday.

But more people overturned the warship and fell into the water in a hurry.Some soldiers, relying on their knowledge of water, plunged into the water, trying to swim to the other side.

At the critical juncture between life and death, the more people there are, the more chaotic it will be, and this atmosphere of fear and anxiety will infect more people.

This cycle goes on and on, never ending.

Seeing that the enemy soldiers were exhausted, Zhao Yun did not rush to kill them all, and let some soldiers board the ship and flee for their lives.It was just that the soldiers under his command formed a battle formation and slowly surrounded them.

Zhao Yun is well aware that an army in a desperate situation may collapse completely, but... it is also possible to fight back!
When fear is at its peak, anger takes over.

I can't see any hope of life in the road ahead, but I can give up life and forget death, and fight hard.

Back then, the Overlord of Western Chu broke all the boats and cut himself off, so he cleverly took advantage of this principle.

There is no going back, forward or die.

At this time, most people will choose the former.

Therefore, it is said that the poor should not chase after them, because when a person is at the end of his life, he can do anything.

When some of Zhang Yan's soldiers crossed the river and fled, some soldiers floated away, and the rest on the bank were soldiers who had neither boarded the boat nor knew how to swim.

At this time, Zhao Yun's subordinates had also completed the siege, surrounded these soldiers on three sides, and there was no possibility of escape.

A feeling of despair spread quickly after Zhang Yanshi had a stroke.

"Fight them!"

I don't know who said a word, and these soldiers immediately boiled up.

"That's right, the left and right are dead, it's better to fight with them!"

"Yes, I worked hard!"

Faced with this situation, Zhao Yun sneered and shouted loudly: "The surrender will not be killed!"

When Zhao Yun's voice fell, the roar of shouts and killings fell silent in an instant.

All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay and fell silent, no longer the madness they had when they were about to die.

In the silence, someone who didn't know was the first to put down the weapon in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of weapons falling to the ground, and finally all the soldiers chose to surrender.

There is a possibility of surviving, and no one would want to seek death.

Seeing that the situation of the battle had been decided, Zhao Yun ordered people to confiscate the weapons and count the prisoners.

Behind, Lin Chao followed Dian Wei's guard slowly.

"Zilong, have you ever caught Zhang Yan?"

Lin Chao asked.

"Never caught." Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "Zhang Ping was the first to board the warship and escape across the river with his own soldiers protecting him."

Hearing this, Lin Chao nodded, which was expected.

"Run away, let's run away, our army has won a complete victory in this battle, and Zilong deserves the most credit!"

Looking at the many captives under custody, Lin Chao was in a good mood, and praised him.

"This battle was all a conspiracy of the supervising army. Zhang Pingnan was injured by surprise, and our army has achieved this result. I dare not take credit for it."

Hearing Lin Chao's compliment, Zhao Yun immediately made a modest statement.

"That's all right, all of us are our own people, so why be so polite." Lin Chao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Even if it was someone's idea, the last critical arrow was shot by you, Zilong, and you deserve the first credit. "

With Lin Chao's affirmation, Zhao Yun also smiled, and when he was about to say a few more words of modesty, Xia Houlan came over.

"I've seen the supervisor!"

Xia Houlan clasped his fists at Lin Chao and saluted.

"Bo Ya, how did our army gain in this battle?"

Xia Houlan is the commander of the army, in charge of the military laws and regulations, and is also responsible for the captured money and food, military supplies, and custody of the prisoners.

"This subordinate is about to report to the supervisor."

As soon as the results of the battle were mentioned, Xia Houlan became energetic.

"In this battle, our army captured more than [-] enemy soldiers, a thousand horses, and a hundred pieces of armor. In addition, there were weapons that were not counted."

"good."

Seeing the fruitful results of the battle, Lin Chao laughed and said, "After this battle, even if Zhang Yan can retreat completely, he won't be able to compete with our army in a short period of time, so there is nothing to worry about."

"What the supervisor said is very true."

Zhao Yun was also very happy, and nodded with a smile in agreement.

The two talked and laughed a few more words, and Lin Chao suddenly had an idea.

"Zilong, where do you think Zhang Yan will go next?"

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yun replied: "Junjun, in my humble opinion, Zhang Ping was injured by an arrow at this moment, and the soldiers under his command were separated. He should retreat to Anxi City to recuperate, and gather the remnants at the same time."

There were more than 1 people under Zhang Yan's command. From the beginning of the battle to the pursuit to the bank of Hengshui, more than 5000 people were killed or injured, and [-] were captured by Zhao Yun. After he collected the remnants, there should be nearly [-] people.

These [-] soldiers may not be able to fight Lin Chao head-on, but they are more than enough to defend the city.

Lin Chao nodded, Zhao Yun's judgment was similar to what he expected.

However, Zhao Yun was too focused on the battle situation, but neglected the situation outside this battle.

"Zilong, if you were Zhang Yan, apart from rounding up the remnants and defending the city, what would you do?"

Lin Chao asked with a smile.

"What measures..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning, thought carefully for a while, and then spit out two words from his mouth.

"Ask for help."

"What Zilong said is good!"

Lin Chao said with a smile: "Zhang Yan and the rebel Zhang Chun colluded with each other to block our army's way. Naturally, it is impossible to block only our troops."

"In my opinion, Zhang Yan will definitely deploy heavy troops to defend the Lunu County that Yun Chang is attacking. Maybe at this time, Yun Chang's troops have already fought several battles with the troops sent by Zhang Yan."

"At present, Zhang Yan has been defeated, and his troops have dropped sharply. Anxi is a small town, so he can't defend it for a long time. He will definitely send reinforcements. And the soldiers who can support Zhang Yan as soon as possible are just in Lu Nu."

After listening to Lin Chao's explanation, Zhao Yun nodded and said, "The Supervising Army means to send a message to General Guan to make him hold back Lu Nu's troops and prevent him from reinforcing Zhang Ping?"

This is a good way, Zhao Yun thought in his heart.

As long as Yun Chang can stop the reinforcements, Zhao Yun is sure to capture Anxi within a month.

"Why do you want to block it?"

Lin Chao shook his head and said, "Not only did he not let Yun Chang stop him, but he also wanted him to retreat ten miles, deliberately sending reinforcements over to reinforce Zhang Yan."

"What's the meaning of this, Supervisor?"

Zhao Yun was a little confused.

If Zhang Yan joined forces with the reinforcements, how could he take down Anxi?

Seeing that Zhao Yun was puzzled, Lin Chao squatted down, picked up a stone from the ground, and started to draw.

Now not only Zhao Yun was curious, but Dian Wei and Xia Houlan beside him also squatted down and watched carefully.

"This is Anxi, and this is Lu Nu."

Lin Chao drew two dots on the ground, and then circled the dot representing Anxi.

"Our army surrounded Anxi and did not attack, forcing Zhang Yan to send reinforcements, and then set up an ambush on the official road from Lu Nu to Anxi, and wiped out all the support troops!"

Lin Chao looked excited, and stretched out his hand to draw a cross fiercely between the two points representing An Xi and Lu Nu.

"This is, besieging the city and fighting for aid!"

Looking at the brief tactical outline on the ground, Zhao Yun didn't feel relieved for a long time.

Tian Feng's evaluation of Lin Chao suddenly came to mind.

Lin Zichu is a man of talent but no virtue, he is the best at calculating people's hearts in his life, all the methods he uses are shameless and lowly, but he is hard to guard against.

At the same time, he remembered the fate of Zhang Yan and Lin Chao's meeting before the battle, and he could only sigh in the end.

Mr. Tian's words, sincerity does not deceive each other!

It's scary to think about being an enemy of this supervisor Lin.
