Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2347: Gou Chen kills the old general, Chang Mao kills Wang Hui
Chang Yuchun's troops moved out quickly, as if they were going to cut off Zhu Yuanzhang's retreat. Xu Da certainly couldn't just sit back and watch.

If something happened to Zhu Yuanzhang, all their resistance would be meaningless.

Therefore, even though he was clearly short of troops and even though he knew that this journey would inevitably be dangerous, he still sent out reinforcements.

However, Xu Da did not go out in person. He was already short of troops, and he had to draw troops at this time. At this time, he had to stabilize the front line and prevent Bai Qi's troops from crossing the river to attack.

However, he sent General Wang Jun with 15,000 troops to support Zhu Yuanzhang.

Wang Jun was also a man of both civil and military talents.

In history, there are not many generals who have achieved remarkable achievements in both civil and military affairs. Wang Jun is one of the best. He performed well on the battlefield and demonstrated outstanding leadership and wisdom in government positions. He was a well-respected general and a prime minister who was deeply loved by the people.

However, this time, he encountered the scheme of the sage.

Wang Jun was very cautious along the way and spread out scouts over dozens of miles.

Moreover, they did find some clues. In addition, they sent out a group of soldiers, pretending to be the main force, and deliberately stepped into the ambush, and they really encountered the ambush of the Jin army.

At this time, if Wang Jun's main force could take advantage of the situation and attack, it would be easy to defeat this army.

However, after discovering the ambush of the Jin army, Wang Jun had no intention of engaging with the Jin army. From the terrain of the ambush, he knew that the number of ambushed troops would not be too large.

Defeating such a Jin army would not have much significance for the overall situation. Even if this army was completely wiped out, it would be just a drop in the bucket compared to the total Jin army force invested in the war in the south, and would not change the overall situation of the war.

Not to mention, just by listening to the sound, he knew that the enemy was basically all cavalry. It was easy to defeat a cavalry, but it was extremely difficult to annihilate it.

The most important thing for Wang Jun at this time was to rush to Zhu Yuanzhang's aid, guard a gap, and prevent Chang Yuchun from completely cutting off Zhu Yuanzhang's retreat.

If something unexpected happened to Zhu Yuanzhang, it would have the most fundamental impact on the war situation.

Therefore, he left a part of his troops to deal with this ambush, and led the remaining 10,000 troops to take a detour, preparing to bypass the ambush and give priority to assisting Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, this happened exactly as Zhang Liang planned.

Of Chang Yuchun's 3,000 cavalrymen, the ambush that Wang Jun discovered was actually only one-third of them. The remaining 2,000 cavalrymen were now following Chang Yuchun and watching everything silently.

There was another ambush after another ambush, and the real ambush was actually the second ambush.

Reinforcements are needed to put out a fire. Although Wang Jun was still cautious at this time, he was inevitably careless. Therefore, he eventually fell into Zhang Liang's calculations and fell into Chang Yuchun's ambush.

Wang Jun had been marching rapidly along the way, and the soldiers had been traveling for several days in a row with very little rest. They were already exhausted, so how could they stop Chang Yuchun who suddenly showed up to take his place?

Although Wang Jun seemed to have 10,000 soldiers under his command, in fact, 9,000 of them were infantry and only the remaining 1,000 were cavalry.

Moreover, their cavalry was only second-rate and could not compare with the combat effectiveness of the Jin cavalry.

The most fundamental point lies in the war horses of both sides!
These one thousand cavalrymen were mainly composed of Dian horses and Japanese horses, which naturally could not be compared with the tall and powerful horses in the north.

Most of the northern war horses purchased by Yangzhou at high prices every year were used to protect the main elite battalions, and very few could be deployed as ordinary cavalry.

With such troops and horses, two thousand Jin cavalry, as long as they were in a wide terrain, they would not be afraid of him even in a head-on battle. Not to mention, now not only did they take advantage of the ambush, but the opponent was also in a state of exhaustion.

Therefore, facing Chang Yuchun's charge, Wang Jun's troops were torn into pieces and completely defeated.

In the melee, General Yao Zilin rushed out, intending to turn the tide of the battle by killing Chang Yuchun.

However, he never expected that the fierce general Gou Chen was standing next to Chang Yuchun at this time.

This time, he accidentally hit the bullet hole.

Although Yao Zilin's strength is good, he is incomparable to Gou Chen, the ultimate general.

As for Yao Zilin, no one present wanted to persuade him to surrender.

Li Cunxiao's teacher, Tan Taiyu, was killed by the combined forces of Yao Zilin and Deng Zilong. Now, one of the two main culprits is here. If they persuade him to surrender, wouldn't that directly offend Li Cunxiao?

Although no one present witnessed Tan Tai Yu's death, everyone received the news.

Besides, Yao Zilin was Yao Guangxiao’s uncle, and Houyi’s arrow alone left no room for either side to turn around.

This old fellow is already seventy years old. This age would be considered an elderly person even in modern times, let alone in ancient times. In ancient times, it would be considered the longest-lived person.

Isn't it ridiculous to expect a person whose half body is buried in the earth to be afraid of death?
Therefore, Gou Chen's actions were ruthless.

In just ten rounds, Yao Zilin was completely suppressed.

After the two sides fought for fifteen rounds, Gou Chen had already injured Yao Zilin.

After another five rounds, the veteran was successfully killed.

The army was already in disarray, and the death of Yao Zilin made it lose all hope of a comeback.

Under the leadership of Chang Yuchun, this army could only flee in all directions.

Wang Hui wanted to leave quietly as he was forced to do so, but was spotted by the sharp-eyed Chang Mao.

In order to escape, Wang Hui did not ride a war horse.

If we were to escape on foot, this speed would certainly not be enough.

However, they did not have many cavalrymen, and if they escaped on horseback, it would be too conspicuous.

The Jin army gave priority to pursuing the cavalry. After all, even if the infantry let them run for hundreds or thousands of meters, they would be able to catch up.

If the large number of infantrymen ran in all directions in a disorderly manner, the Jin army, with its limited troops, would not be able to chase them in every direction, and the chances of them escaping would be greater.

However, in theory, this possibility is indeed very high. However, when he was spotted by Chang Mao, no matter whether he was riding a horse or not at that time, the outcome was already doomed.

Chang Mao immediately used his dragon claw to grab his head and hang him on a tree.
